Abstract: Improving the Quality of the Natural Chemical Substance Lesson through the Pattern Recognizing Method. This study aims to improve the quality of the natural chemical substance lesson through the pattern recognizing method. This study was an action research study consisting of two cycles, each of which involved three meetings. The first cycle presented the polyketide topic and the second cycle the terpenoid topic. The instruments were questionnaires, observation sheets, and evaluation sheets. The final stage of the second cycle showed that: 1) the quality of the assignments involving natural substances and the number of chemical found in the references improved, which made it easier to move to further steps, 2) the students’ activities and participation increased, indicated by the group presentation in which each group had a chance to raise questions, 3) the quality and quantity of questions, especially high level ones, increased, and all of them were written and submitted, and 4) the students’ learning achievement improved, indicated by the percentage of students achieving scores above 60 (84%).

BACKGROUND: Standardization of documentation has enabled the use of medical records as a primary tool for evaluating health care functions and obtaining appropriate credit points for medical centres. However, previous studies have shown that the quality of medical records in emergency departments is unsatisfactory.AIM: The aim of this study was improving the nursing care documentation in an emergency department, in Iran.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This collaborative action research study was carried out in two phases to improve nursing care documentation in cooperation with individuals involved in the process, from February 2015 to December 2017 in an affiliated academic hospital in Iran. The first phase featured virtual training, an educational workshop, and improvements to the hospital information system. The second phase involved the recruitment of human resources, the implementation of continuous codified training, the establishment of an appropriate reward and penalty system, and the review of patient education forms.RESULTS: The interventions improved nursing documentation quality score of 73.20%, which was the highest accreditation ranking provided by Iran’s Ministry of Health and Medical Education in 2017. In other words, this study caused a 32% improvement in the quality of nursing care documentation in the hospital.CONCLUSION: The appropriate practices for improving nursing care documentation are employee participation, managerial accountability, nurses’ adherence to documentation standards, improved leadership style, and continuous monitoring and control.

This study aims to improve the quality of the process and product ofintensive reading learning through the use of pre-questions in pre-readingactivities. This study was an action research study conducted in three cycles. Theparticipants were Year VIII students of Class C of SMP Penda Mojogedang,Karanganyar Regency. The results showed that there was an improvement in thepercentage of the students capable of formulating pre-questions, carrying outintensive reading activities appropriately, answering questions correctly with apercentage of 70% at the minimum, and showing active and motivated attitudesduring the learning process. The effective learning procedure was as follows. Thestudents browsed the text, formulated pre-questions with question words 5W +1H, memorized the pre-questions, read the text intensively to find the answers tothe questions, and formulate the answers orally and in writing.Keywords: intensive reading, pre-reading, pre-question

Abstract This study was aimed at obtaining factual information on 1) the assessment of Basic Physics course learning achievement of Physics Education students of the Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Faculty of IAIN Raden Intan Lampung that includes process and product assessment and 2) the results of the implementation of assessment on student performance during the practicum component of the course. The study employed Elliot’s Model of Action Research Study, which is a mixed method in nature. It focused on improving instructional condition as the responsibility of the respective lecturer to make it more responsive to the existing needs .Indeed, it requires commitment of all parties involved in the instructional process to participate and collaborate for improved learning achievement, particularly of the Basic Physics course, to be obtained. In conclusion, based on the process and findings of the action research study, the implementation of performance assessment has significantly improved student learning achievement in the Basic Physics course.Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendpatkan informasi faktual mengenai 1) penilaian hasil belajar Fisika Dasar Pendidikan Fisika Fakultas Tarbiyah dan Keguruan IAIN Raden Intan Lampung yang meliputi penilaian proses dan kinerja, dan 2) hasil implementasi penilaian prestasi mahasiswa selama praktikum. Penelitian menggunakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas Model Elliot, yang merupakan metode campuran. Penelitian fokus kepada peningkatan kondisi pembelajaran sebagai tanggungjawab dosen yang bersangkutan untuk membuatnya lebih responsif dengan kebutuhan yang ada. Tentunya, hal ini membutuhkan komitmen dari seluruh pihak terkait dalam proses pembelajaran untuk berpartisipasi dan berkolaborasi untuk peningkatan hasil pembelajaran, khususnya mata kuliah Fisika Dasar. Dapat disimpulkan, berdasarkan proses dan temuan penelitian tindakan kelas, penerapan penilaian kinerja secara signifikan meningkatkan prestasi belajar mahasiswa pada mata kuliah Fisika Dasar.

Abstract Civic participation, initiative and interest in current events can bridge the alienation felt towards national and municipal institutions, thereby enabling individuals to improve their quality of life and contribute to all-round sustainable development of their resident state. This paper reports on a participatory action research study into civic initiatives for securitability involving novice teachers and youngsters from the Latgale region of Latvia. Research participants evaluated national planning documents, enhanced their knowledge and devised civic initiatives to improve the quality of life. Focus group discussions and reasoned argumentative essays were employed to establish how novice teachers (n = 40) and youngsters (n = 58) make sense of the concept of ‘human securitability’. Data analysis was accomplished by qualitative content analysis. The action research exposed an initial understanding of novice teachers and youngsters regarding the human securitability and the possibilities of improving the quality of life. Moreover, this study provided an environment for the research participants to deepen their understanding of said phenomena and participate in educational events envisioning practical engagement with securitability and civic initiatives. The action research study created initiatives for the development of civic securitability and the participation in setting developmental goals.
