Online Learning Readiness

Student online learning readiness (SOLR) has been identified as being closely associated with the success of learning in online environments. Online learning orientations have also been used as a key intervention to support students. However, the evaluation practice and research of online learning orientation design are limited. This research studied the effects of an orientation course on SOLR, using a multiyear design-based research with a one-group pretest and posttest method as the evaluation measurement. The design and implementation of a self-paced orientation course in Canvas learning management system was detailed as the intervention. A 20-item SOLR questionnaire was selected as the pretest and posttest instrument. After the initial cycles, a sample of 2,590 college students were invited to participate in the 2017 orientation and respond to the pretest and posttest. Because separate consent forms were distributed and collected at the pretest and posttest stages, the researcher was able to use 445 pretest and 624 posttest datasets. The independent samples t-test results indicated statistically significant improvement of SOLR competencies. The exploratory factor analysis results also indicated changes of items associated with the SOLR constructs. The reliability coefficients of all subscales were > .90, with an increase in the reliability of the SOLR instrument as a whole from pretest (a = .92) to posttest (a = .95). Implications for the design and evaluation of online learning orientations and preparing student online learning readiness are discussed toward future design and implementation.

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of strategic orientation on firm performance mediated by social media orientation at MSMEs. Strategic orientation includes market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, technological orientation, and learning orientation. The design used in this research is hypothesis testing by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The respondent population of this research is all owners or managers of MSMEs located in DKI Jakarta area and have been running their business for at least 2 (two) years, and have used social media in their business. This study used a sample of respondents. The sampling was done by using non-probability sampling technique with purposive sampling method with 321 respondents. The results of this study show that only learning orientation has a direct effect on firm performance, while for market orientation and entrepreneurial orientation requires mediation role from social media orientation, and for technological orientation either directly or after mediation by social media orientation still has no effect significant to firm performance. The variable that has the greatest influence on firm performance after mediated by social media orientation is the entrepreneurial orientation. The results of this study provide insight for MSMEs practitioners, in order to use their strategic activities to increase the use of social media so as to improve the firm performance. This study has limitations, including not detailing the construct dimension of social media orientation into two dimensions of visibility and Sales and business development, and the sample of respondents from this study is only the perpetrators of MSMEs located in the area of DKI Jakarta. This can be a suggestion for further research. The model proposed in this study is to add the role of social media orientation as a mediation variable in the relationship between strategic orientation with firm performance.

Penelitian ini hanya sampai pada hasil rancangan instrument (kuesioner) untuk mengukur kesiapan (readiness) mahasiswa baru untuk implementasi e-learning Universitas Stikubank Semarang. Dasar dari perancanngan kuesioner adalah adanya  hal-hal penting dalam untuk mendapatkan informasi penting tentang kesiapan mahasiswa baru untuk implementasi e-learning Universitas. Untuk menghasilkan instrumen pengukur kesiapan e-learning yang sesuai harus dipahami terlebih dahulu konsep e-learning, kesiapan e-learning, dan penilaian kesiapan e-learning (e-learning readiness assessment). Konsep elearning yang diterapkan saat ini di Universitas Sikubank yaitu proses penyampaian materi kuliah yang meliputi penempatan materi dan interaksi antara dosen dan mahasiswa melalui Internet, yang difasilitasi oleh suatu learning management system (LMS) yang berbasis Web. Berangkat dari konsep e-learning yang diterapkan, maka dibuat studi eksploratori untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang menentukan kesiapan e-learning mahasiswa. Agar peneliti bisa mendapatkan pemahaman lebih jauh mengenai suatu masalah dan faktor-factor utama penentunya, dapat dilakukan penelitian yang bersifat kualitatif. Penelitian kualitatif bersifat eksploratori, tidak terstruktur, dan berdasar pada sampel yang kecil. Penelitian ini dapat dilakukan dengan mendayagunakan teknik seperti focus group (wawancara berkelompok), word association (bertanya pada responden untuk mengindikasikan respon pertama mereka pada kata-kata stimulus yang disampaikan), dan depth interview (wawancara satu-satu untuk mengetahui pikiran responden secara detil). Hasil dari suatu studi yang bersifat eksploratori sebaiknya diikuti oleh penelitian eksploratori lain atau oleh penelitian yang bersifat konklusif. Dalam studi eksploratori yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini, teknik yang digunakan adalah Wawancara (interview).Tujuan utamanya adalah mendapatkan pengertian mendalam akan hal yang menjadi minat peneliti dengan mendengarkan sekelompok orang yang relevan dengan minat tersebut. Langkah untuk menjalankan wawancara adalah menentukan sasaran atau pertanyaan yang harus dijawab. Dalam hal ini, sasaran wawancara adalah harus dapat mengidentifikasi pandangan mahasiswa mengenai e-learning, kondisi kesiapan e-learning, dan beberapa instrument pengukur kesiapannya. Dari hasil tersebut terlihat bahwa Pada mahasiswa, faktor yang dianggap mempengaruhi kesiapan mahasiswa adalah kemampuan komputer mahasiswa, fasilitas yang disediakan universitas, dan kekuatan motivasi mahasiswa menggunakan Learning Managemen System.
