Levels of problem-solving competency identified through Bebras Computing Challenge

This research is aimed to investigate the students’ problem-solving competency after learn by using discovery learning model and students’ problem-solving ability after learn by using problem-based learning model. Therefore, this research is aimed to investigate differences problem-solving ability of mathematics between students who get discovery learning model and problem-based learning model. The population used in this research was a student in grade VII in one of junior high school in West Bandung Regency. The sample was student class VII B for the first experiment class and VII C for the second experiment class with 35 students in every class. The method in this research was a quasi experiment by using two group post-test only design. The instrument in this research is post-test about problem-solving of mathematics. Based on the research, it can be concluded that there is a difference between the mathematical problem-solving competency of students who get discovery learning model and problem-based learning model. Nevertheless, the qualification of problem-solving competency between of students who gets discovery learning model and problem-based learning model, are including the medium category

STRATEGI METAKOGNISI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH PADA MATERI TEORI KINETIK GASAbstractMetacognition is the most important part of problem solving, in which students control consciously the cognition activity in planning, monitoring and evaluating the physics problem solving. The purpose of this research is to know the influence of metacognition strategies to problem solving ability. This research is quasi experiment with nonequivalent control grup design. The sample consist of class XI MIPA 1 as a control class and XI MIPA 2 as experiment class. The test technique used is form of a description sheet to obtain problem solving skill data, while the nontest technique used is form of an observation sheet to obtain learning activity data. Problem solving skill data is analyzed by quantitative method using descriptive statistic. The result of research indicates that there is an influence of metacognition strategies to student problem solving skill. There is an increase in problem solving ability in experiment class with 0.61 of N-Gain grade (medium), which is higher than control class. Observation result indicates that student learning activity in experiment class is higher than that in control class.AbstrakMetakognisi merupakan bagian penting dalam proses pemecahan masalah, dimana siswa secara sadar mengontrol aktivitas kognisi dalam merencanakan, memantau serta mengevaluasi pemecahan masalah fisika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh strategi metakognisi terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah. Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimen semu (quasi experiment) dengan nonequivalent control grup design. Sampel terdiri dari kelas XI MIPA 1 sebagai kelas kontrol dan XI MIPA 2 sebagai kelas eksperimen. Digunakan teknik tes berupa lembar soal uraian untuk memperoleh data kemampuan pemecahan masalah, dan teknik non tes berupa lembar observasi untuk memperoleh data tentang aktivitas belajar. Data kemampuan pemecahan masalah dianalisis dengan metode kuantitatif menggunakan statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh strategi metakognisi terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa. Terdapat peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah pada kelas eksperimen dengan nilai N-Gain sebesar 0,61 (sedang), yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelas kontrol. Hasil observasi menunjukkan aktivitas belajar siswa kelas eksperimen lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelas kontrol.

The Relationship

This study aims to identify the relationship between case manager competency and nurse burnout in Indonesia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 235 nurses in three hospitals located in Jakarta and Tangerang. The questionnaire used in this study comprise of: demographic data; General Self Efficacy Scale; Nurse Manager Competency Scale; and Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. Most respondents experienced emotional exhaustion and disengagement. The case manager’s competence reported low. Analysis showed that the case manager’s competence in actuating, communication, and problem-solving associated with nurse burnout. Direction, communication competency, and problem-solving competency of the case manager may reduce the burnout of nurse executor. Improving the competence of nurse manager is very important in order to reduce nurse burnout. Keywords: burnout, case manager, managerial competencies, work environment

The Impact

PurposeThis paper builds on previous research in information systems (IS) project management by focusing on key antecedents proposed to play important roles in influencing normative commitment within the IS project environment. The study also further investigates the influence of normative commitment on intentions to continue.Design/methodology/approachTo collect data for this study, a field survey was administered online, and individuals were selected for participation by a member of upper management from Fortune 500 companies located in the United States. Two-hundred and thirty two (232) survey responses were collected. The model was analyzed using PLS-SEM.FindingsThe results indicated that personal investment, personal responsibility, voluntariness, project-specific self-efficacy and problem-solving competency were all significantly related to normative commitment. Project-specific self-efficacy, problem-solving competency and normative commitment directly influenced intention to continue. Additionally, problem-solving competency moderated both the relationships of project-specific self-efficacy to normative commitment and project-specific self-efficacy to intention to continue. The resulting model explains 63% of intention to continue and 58% of normative commitment.Originality/valueThe findings from this study contribute to commitment theory and enhance one’s understanding of IS project environments by exploring specific antecedents related to developing normative commitment. Additionally, the impact of normative commitment on intention to continue was enhanced by examining key moderating relationships to the model.
