The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of schools across the Caribbean, including tertiary institutions. Colleges and universities turned to digital solutions and modified their pedagogy in order to sustain continuity of learning. Other adaptations like flexible payment schemes were made to allow students to stay enrolled. The University of West Indies CCEP and CLRI and the IDB co-hosted a conversation titled “Caribbean Tertiary Institutions and the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic,” which sought to explore how tertiary institutions were coping with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation focused on the most prominent challenges and what measures the institutions had taken to deal with them, what they felt they had done well in adapting, and how sustainable they deemed those measures in supporting their operations in the medium to long term. A follow-up meeting was held with several students from UWI to further explore how they had been impacted. This publication shares the responses to these questions, offers lessons learned and outlines next steps for the Caribbean Tertiary Institutions and the IDB.

Strengthening all three can bring something unexpected to classroom teaching. Based on this, this article focuses on three things: the role of classroom discourse in classroom teaching, the impact of classroom discourse on student classroom involvement, and how to have no impact on the improvement of classroom teaching quality.

Determining Factor

This study seeks to investigate self-efficacy on job performance through the role of work anxiety and intrinsic motivation. The research sample consisted of 83 employees and ten leaders on the STIEM Bongaya campus, and data analysis used Warp PLS 7.0. This study does not support the hypothesis that the better the self-efficacy, the higher the job performance. So, as a practical implication, self-efficacy is not the main determining factor in determining the value of job performance in tertiary institutions. Interestingly, self-efficacy has a positive and significant effect on work anxiety, and subsequently, job performance is getting better. It was found that the better the self-efficacy, the better the intrinsic motivation, and the better job performance. Hence, the role of work anxiety and intrinsic motivation as a complete mediation variable. The higher the self-efficacy, the higher the anxiety and the higher the job performance, but the impact is not significant or significant. Furthermore, the better the self-efficacy, the higher the intrinsic motivation and higher job performance, but the impact is not significant.

The Impact

The impact of the global economic crisis due to the Corona Virus Pandemic or Covid-19 is felt by the entire world population, including the people of Indonesia. Many Bankrupt Industries have resulted in an increase in layoffs, especially for women, considering the very large role of women and being the supporter of the family economy; then the role of this woman needs to be strengthened again, so that the survival of their family will be guaranteed. In addition, the dynamics of the field require creative solutions to increase financial inclusion. One of them is through the use of the philanthropic service sector. In the difficult economic conditions during the corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic in Indonesia, this did not reduce public philanthropy, on the contrary, it tends to continue to increase. A philanthropic business model that will be built by bringing together donors and female workers affected by Covid-19. They can interact directly without the need for an intermediary. The research method used is the Waterfall method which includes the analysis phase, the design phase, the implementation phase, the testing phase, including blackbox, whitebox and usability testing with SUS (System Usability Scale). The results of the System Usability Scale (SUS) test have an average SUS score of 86.5, which means the system is feasible to use. It is hoped that with this e-sharing platform, it can facilitate people who have a fixed income or who do not have the risk of losing their jobs in the midst of this pandemic to distribute a small portion of their wealth in an egalitarian format to those who are disadvantaged by the Covid-19 restrictions. Keywords: Fintech; filantropi; platform; PHK AbstrakDampak krisis ekonomi global akibat Pandemik Virus Corona atau Covid-19 sangat dirasakan oleh seluruh penduduk dunia, termasuk masyarakat Indonesia. Banyak Industri Bangkrut yang mengakibatkan kenaikan PHK meningkat khususnya perempuan,  mengingat peran wanita sangat besar dan menjadi penopang ekonomi keluarga; maka peran wanita ini perlu diperkuat lagi, sehingga kelangsungan hidup keluarga mereka akan terjamin. Disamping itu, dinamika lapangan membutuhkan solusi kreatif untuk meningkatkan inklusi keuangan. Salah satunya lewat pemanfaatan sektor layanan filantropi. Dalam kondisi ekonomi yang sulit pada masa pandemi virus corona (Covid-19) di Indonesia tidak membuat filantropi masyarakat menurun, sebaliknya justru cenderung terus meningkat. Model bisnis filantropi yang akan dibangun dengan mempertemukan antara para donatur dan pekerja wanita yang terdampak covid-19. Mereka bisa langsung berinteraksi tanpa perlu kehadiran intermediary. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah menggunakan metode Waterfall yang meliputi tahap analisis (analysis), tahap perancangan (design), tahap implementasi (implementation), tahap pengujian (testing) antara lain blackbox, whitebox dan Usability dengan pengujian SUS (System Usability Scale). Hasil pengujian System Usability Scale (SUS) rata-rata skor SUS sebesar 86,5 yang berarti sistem layak digunakan. Diharapkan dengan adanya platform e-sharing ini, dapat memfasilitasi masyarakat yang berpendapatan tetap atau yang tidak memiliki resiko kehilangan pekerjaan di tengah pandemi ini untuk mendistribusikan sebagian kecil kekayaannya dalam format egaliter ke mereka yang dirugikan restriksi Covid-19.

Two studies examined the impact of macrolevel symbolic threat on intergroup attitudes. In Study 1 (N = 71), participants exposed to a macrosymbolic threat (vs. nonsymbolic threat and neutral topic) reported less support toward social policies concerning gay men, an outgroup whose stereotypes implies a threat to values, but not toward welfare recipients, a social group whose stereotypes do not imply a threat to values. Study 2 (N = 78) showed that, whereas macrolevel symbolic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward gay men, macroeconomic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward Asians, an outgroup whose stereotypes imply an economic threat. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding the role of a general climate of threat in shaping intergroup attitudes.
