The Contribution of the Education System Quality to Improve the Nation's Competitiveness of Indonesia

The quality of education and the competitiveness of college graduates in Indonesia is still far behind, both at the International level, even at the level of ASEAN. In the other side, the issue of demographic bonus in Indonesia become an important factor in the development of human resources. The Indonesian population increased continuously about 1.49% per year. The impact of the quality of education is the nation's competitiveness. Before analyzing its aspects, the data about the nation's competitiveness can be used as a reference. Although not entirely represent competitiveness, this data can function as an indicator of progress. Good human resources will be the driving factor for a variety of activities a state and a nation can make, including the economy. In the development of competitiveness, a country is positioned in its change of factor-driven to innovation-driven. The important problems arousing in education are: the quality of school management, quality of research and training, the quality of the education system, and also the higher education participation rate is still low. These four main things that need to be improved in education before it can move to other sectors. The main problem on education in Indonesia is in the low focus on the development of mentality or character. While the analysis of competitiveness problems Indonesia is known that the root problem in competitiveness is the high level of corruption in the country. This is a problem of mentality

Understanding how demographic factors influence faculty member's perceptions of online learning success: A case study in Thai private higher education

This research study investigates the influence of demographic factors, including gender, position, and year of experience on perceptions of online learning success during the pandemic. The study acknowledges that various factors, such as prior experience with online learning, technological literacy, and cultural context, influenced the perception of human resources towards online learning. The study will utilize a quantitative research approach with surveys and statistical analysis to gather and analyze data from executives managing education programs in Thai private higher education institutions. The participants in the study were executives managing education programs working in Thai private higher education institutions, including deans, vice deans, assistant deans, heads of departments, assistants to department heads, and full-time lecturers. A sample group of 213 participants will be selected using simple random sampling. Data will be collected through surveys distributed electronically to the selected participants. The survey will consist of a validated questionnaire with good content validity and reliability. Quantitative research methods will be employed to analyze the gathered data, including multivariate statistics (ANOVA), to interpret the findings. The research findings from this study will contribute to the existing literature on online learning effectiveness by examining the role of demographic factors in shaping perceptions of success in the context of the pandemic. The findings have practical implications for educational institutions in designing and implementing online learning programs during the pandemic and beyond, considering the demographic characteristics of their participants. The study suggests that institutions should consider the effects of gender, position, and year of experience in shaping perceptions and behaviours related to online learning, provide targeted support, foster collaboration and knowledge sharing, conduct ongoing research and evaluation, and adopt a multi-dimensional approach to enhance the effectiveness of online learning initiatives. Further study and contextual considerations are necessary to understand demographic factors' effects on online learning perceptions comprehensively

Lesson plan concept based on SMIC (spiritual, moral, interpersonal, cultural) literacy

Lesson plan is the most important component of learning. Teachers are expected to design a meaningful learning and internalize values into students. Students’ understanding of values has been measured by the implementation. It is called literacy. Literacy is not only in reading but also spiritual, moral, interpersonal, and cultural (SMIC) aspects that become problems in education today, especially in the formation of personality in critical ages i.e. Adolescents in high school. This study aims to explain the concept of the lesson plan based on SMIC-literacy. SMIC-literacy is the previous finding of our research and development. The integration of learning model based on SMIC literacy becomes the key concept in lesson plan designing. A literature review is needed to find relevance about the concept of a lesson plan with prior findings. The results show that in the lesson plan based on smic literacy, all aspects coloring in each indicator, learning objectives, learning activities, and evaluation system. Consistency between lesson plan components and SMIC-literacy will help teachers in presenting a good quality of learning.introduction

Online Student-worksheet Based on Toulmin Argumentation Pattern in Physics Learning

Abstract This research provides an online worksheet that can help improve students’ argumentative skills in learning physics. The media developed is based on Toulmin’s Argumentation Pattern. The resulting product is an online worksheet that is valid and effective for use in physics learning. The development stage used a 4-D model. Validation was carried out by media experts and learning experts using a questionnaire. The validation questionnaire includes four aspects (Concept Accuracy, Clear Meaning, Physical Appearance, and Element Completeness). Besides, the media was also tested in small groups to determine the user’s response to four aspects (Language Clearness, Attractiveness Layout, Content Understandable, and Communication flow). The effectiveness of the media was measured using a pretest-posttest one group design and the gain score. The argumentation skills test was in the form of ten essay questions. The student answer using TAP components. This study’s results indicate that this online worksheet is valid and effective in encouraging the development of students’ argumentative skills. Three essencial characteristics of the worksheet encouraging the skills are using issues related to daily-life, various media types, and providing many activities.</jats:p

Developing the physics magazine as an alternative of personal learning media

Abstract Recently, information technology literacy of the student in school is relatively high. Efforts to provide learning services that match the characteristics of the millennium generation will be one of the solutions to utilize this technology effectively in learning. Various open educational resources will significantly enhance personal learning activities; one of them is the physics magazine. This study is development research that aims to produce physics magazine on the subject of momentum, impulse, and collision. Learning features provided in this magazine include reading the concept, enrichment reading, crossword puzzles, multiple choice, essays, practicum, and so on. Various alternative activities are provided so that students can learn from anywhere they like. Physics experts and media experts validate this media. The result scores are 3.67 for the physics subject aspects and 4.18 for the media aspects out of 5. It shows a reasonable level of eligibility. Furthermore, this magazine was piloted on 26 students to see the level of interest in physics learning using this magazine. The result is a high level of interest (4.27 out of 5). It means that student can use this physics magazine to enhance the learning interest in physics.</jats:p
