Effect of a digital diagnostic learning system on student outcomes: A lab and field-study approach

Learning stress or academic stress is a category of distress in which students perceive academic demands as disturbing. It can also be interpreted as pressure related to the ability to master a science. Symptoms of learning stress include physical reactions, behaviour, thought processes, and emotions. Based on various research results, the level of learning stress increases during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is considered related to the change in the face-to-face learning system to online (in the network), which raises new factors as triggers for learning stress. This research was conducted to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic affects stress in learning and find solutions to overcome feelings of stress in learning, especially solutions from an Islamic perspective. The method used by the author in this study is a qualitative method with a literature study approach with analysis of the theory of Robert J. Van Amberg about the stages of stress. The results of the study revealed that learning stress factors during the covid-19 pandemic were in the form of lack of understanding of the material, a lot of assignments, declining grades, a tiring and boring learning system, quota constraints and internet networks, individual internal factors, and social factors other. Islam views stress as a trial that every Muslim must face. Islam also provides solutions for stress, namely patience, tawakkal, and the discipline of worship. Other solutions for learning stress during the COVID-19 pandemic can also be in the form of problem-focused coping and emotional focused coping, web-based Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC), and spiritual, emotional freedom technique (SEFT).

STUDI LAPANGAN DAMPAK EKOLOGI: PERAN DAN KONTRIBUSINYA TERHADAP PENGEMBANGAN KUALITAS MODEL PENDIDIKAN BERDASARKAN PARADIGMA PENELITIAN AbstrakMengembangkan model pendidikan yang baik dan dinamis dalam prosesnya, seharusnya dapat meningkatkan kualitas induvidu maupun kelompok mahasiswa atau peserta didik di perguruan tinggi (PT), agar dapat menyesuaikan diri terhadap dinamika perubahan zaman, sehingga studi lapang salah satu langkah yang perlu mendapat perhatian, dimana secara tidak langsung kegiatan ini mampu meningkatkan kualitas (SDM) dalam rangka menghadapi permasalahan dimasa mendatang yang semakin kompleks, disamping sebagai modal utama dalam mempersiapkan SDM yang berkualitas, baik sebagai pendidik (guru) maupun seorang peneliti yang professional dan kompeten dalam bidangnya. Tujuan dari kegiatan studi lapang tersebut, masih dihadapkan dengan minimnya SDM, sehingga tidak mudah untuk mengimplementasikannya secara dinamis dan berkelanjutan, sehingga tujuan dari penelitian ini, akan mengeksplore atau mengkaji lebih detail tentang peran dan kontribusi studi lapang di kalangan PT, yang tentunya membutuhkan proses pembelajaran yang lebih baik, dalam membentuk kualitas SDM yang berkualitas. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, lebih melihat pada dinamika persepsi dan interpretasi mahasiswa, yang berkaitan dengan pengalamannya selama di lapang, dan sejauh mana keberhasilan yang diperoleh atau dicapainya, setelah melakukan studi lapang yang berupa produk ilmiah, seperti naskah ilmiah, baik berupa bentuk laporan penelitian maupun jurnal, kemudian proses diskusi panel di dalam kelas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode studi lapang salah satu kegiatan yang tidak mudah dilakukan, ketika menyusun sebuah laporan yang ilmiah, hal ini dapat dilihat dari aspek lemahnya argumentasi ilmiah yang dibangun, sehingga permasalahan ini, menjadi memberi gambarkan kepada semua pihak, bahwa model pendidikan ini perlu di ubah, dengan memodifikasi sebuah kurikulum yang lebih dinamis, dan tentunya juga disesuaikan dengan perkembangan zaman. AbstractDeveloping quality of education model in learning process was ought to increase skills of both individual and group of students in order to pave their readiness for today’s competitive era. Field study is an approach in learning that may develop to increase the quality of student, particularly in confronting with real life problems. This research was aimed to study the role and contribution of the field study to increase the quality of students. Using students’ perception and interpretations on the study field learning approach, this study tried to answers queries on the extent of study field approach for their learning success. Results revealed that the current field study approach was one of difficult approaches to be implemented in learning. During report development, for example, it was found that there are writing skills that need to be developed. It is suggested from this study, therefore, that field study approach needs to be more dynamic and its curriculum needs to be adjusted with the current development.

Product Choices

Purpose This study aims to introduce the duration of uniqueness, an important dimension of unique products. It studies how choices between products with long versus short duration of uniqueness are influenced by the interaction between pressure and consumers’ need for uniqueness (NFU). Design/methodology/approach This research uses a multi-method study approach. A pilot field-study tested the novelty and importance of the research by asking retail professionals to predict the choice of a hypothetical consumer. A retrospective study assessed the importance of duration of uniqueness in unique product choices, by asking consumers about a real and recent unique product purchase. Four additional experimental studies directly tested hypotheses by manipulating pressure and by measuring or manipulating uniqueness motivations. Findings The pilot field-study showed the novelty and relevance of this research for professionals. Study 1 revealed that, retrospectively, uniqueness duration was considered important for the choice of unique products, by high-NFU consumers under pressure. Studies 2 and 3 demonstrated that pressure increases the tendency of high-NFU, but not low-NFU, consumers to choose products with long over short uniqueness duration. Study 4 provided initial evidence for the process behind the effect. Study 5 showed that considerations of uniqueness duration when choosing mediated the effects. Research limitations/implications The results of the pilot field-study and retrospective study might be affected by recall bias or lay theories. The findings need to be replicated with other sources of pressure and uniqueness. This calls for further research. Practical implications Results are important for companies marketing unique products and they suggest that pressure-based marketing appeals can be used strategically to increase sales of products with long uniqueness duration but decrease sales of products with short uniqueness duration. Although the research provides these guidelines, managers should consider the ethical implications of pressure strategies. Originality/value This is the first attempt to empirically investigate the duration of uniqueness. Although extant research has examined choices between products with different degrees of uniqueness, this research studies choice of products with similar degrees of uniqueness, but different uniqueness duration. Thus, this research adds to the scarce literature studying the duration of symbolic benefits. Moreover, although pressure and NFU frequently co-exist in uniqueness consumption settings, this study is the first to study their joint effects.

Organizational Stories

While empirical researchers in management accounting frequently address overlapping research issues using a variety of methods, there is little evidence of productive dialogue addressing the uncertainties and ambiguities raised within each stream of research. For example, survey researchers frequently call for deeper field-based insights into conflicting or ambiguous findings. Case study researchers convey rich organizational stories of management accounting in context. However, these field-based findings are rarely used to resolve the ambiguity in construct definition, measurement, and inter-relationships that plague our empirical research bases. In this paper we seek to regenerate interest in a method that has been implemented in the past to promote productive field-based dialogue on issues related to complex constructs and their interrelationships. The method is best illustrated by the cross-sectional field study approach adopted by Merchant and Manzoni (1989) to study budget target achievability. By considering the Merchant and Manzoni (1989) study as well as two other examples (Bruns and McKinnon 1993; Abernethy and Lillis 1995) we identify the range of questions suited to this method and how the method contributes significant insights to the management accounting literature. We also articulate the design attributes of cross-sectional field studies by explicitly linking the rationale for these studies with the complexity of the phenomenon under study, sampling logic, instrument design, and data analysis protocols. The insights produced from the relatively few published studies using a cross-sectional field study method suggest that opportunities for the application of this method may be underexploited.
