Kappan’s editor talks with Queensland University researcher Anna Hogan about the rapid growth of commercial activity in Australia’s schools and in school systems around the world. Private businesses have always sold textbooks, classroom tools, and other goods and services to public schools, and many teachers are happy to purchase and use them, notes Hogan. However, the biggest corporations in the education market — such as Pearson and Google — have grown so large, and are so eager to promote online schools and automated instruction, that teachers have reason to be concerned about the future of their profession, and the public has reason to worry that the quality of their schools will decline.

Первые случаи COVID-19 в Казахстане начали регистрироваться в марте 2020г. и на середину июля по официальным данным было уже зарегистрировано почти 60 тысяч случаев, в том числе 373 летальных (0,6%). Понимание истинного бремени заболевания является важным для усиления системы общественного здравоохранения и своевременного корректирования карантинных и смягчающих мер в современном мире. Название инфекции COVID-19 появилось благодаря англоязычной аббревиатуре «Coronavirus Disease 2019». Большая часть пациентов с COVID-19 полностью выздоравливает. Однако, у части из них остаются остаточные явления - одышка при легкой физической нагрузке, легкий кашель, боли и дискомфорт в области лопаток, ухудшение показателей функции сердца, отсутствие обоняния и вкуса, снижение зрения, повышенная утомляемость, бессонница, нарушение менструального цикла, выпадение волос, депрессивное состояние. Остаточные явления в значительной степени снижают качество жизни пациентов, особенно у лиц пожилого и старческого возраста, переболевших COVID-19, мешая вести прежний образ жизни, ухудшая работоспособность и способность выдерживать психоэмоциональные нагрузки. В данной статье проведена оценка остаточных явлений и последствий COVID-19 у лиц пожилого и старческого возраста г. Шымкент. The first cases of COVID-19 in Kazakhstan began to be registered in March 2020. and by mid-July, according to official data, almost 60 thousand cases were already registered, including 373 fatal (0.6%). Understanding the true burden of the disease is important for strengthening the public health system and timely correction of quarantine and mitigation measures in the modern world. The name of the COVID-19 infection appeared due to the English-language abbreviation «Coronavirus Disease 2019». Most of the patients with COVID-19 fully recover. However, some of them have residual phenomena-shortness of breath with light physical exertion, a slight cough, pain and discomfort in the shoulder blades, deterioration of heart function, lack of smell and taste, decreased vision, increased fatigue, insomnia, menstrual cycle disorders, hair loss, depression. Residual phenomena significantly reduce the quality of life of patients, especially in elderly and senile people who have had COVID-19, preventing them from leading a previous lifestyle, impairing their performance and ability to withstand psychoemotional loads. This article evaluates the residual effects and consequences of COVID-19 in elderly and senile people in Shymkent.

Abstrak Sebagai lembaga yang berfungsi menyimpan dan menyebarluaskan informasi, perpustakaan juga mempunyai andil besar untuk turut serta meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat. Dalam hal ini, perpustakaan diharapkan mampu menyelesaikan permasalahan yang ada di masyarakat tidak hanya dalam bidang pendidikan namun juga bidang lainnya seperti sosial dan ekonomi. Melalui penelitian ini diharapkan mampu mengkaji dan menganalisis peran Perpustakaan Umum Kabupaten Gunungkidul dalam meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat pesisir Gunungkidul yang relatif masih rendah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Peneliti melakukan wawancara kepada 4 (empat) informan; yaitu Kepala Perpustakaan Umum Kabupaten Gunungkidul, seorang pustakawan Perpustakaan Umum Kabupaten Gunungkidul, dan 2 (dua) orang anggota pelatihan membatik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kondisi ekonomi masyarakat pesisir Gunungkidul Yogyakarta relatif masih memprihatinkan, karena mayoritas pekerjaannya sebagai nelayan yang hasilnya belum mencukupi kebutuhan kesehariannya. Selain itu, minimnya kesadaran akan pentingnya pendidikan di wilayah setempat mengakibatkan banyaknyaanak usia sekolahyang tidak melanjutkan pendidikan ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi, lalu memutuskan untuk merantau ke kota-kota besar untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan. Oleh karena itu, Perpustakaan Umum Kabupaten Gunungkidul telah melakukan beberapa program layanan berbasis pemberdayaan masyarakat; seperti perpustakaan keliling ke daerah-daerah terpencil, perpustakaan keliling pantai,One Home One Library, pelatihan membatik, dan pelatihan pemasaran produk secara online. Dengan kegiatan-kegiatan tersebut, Perpustakaan Umum Kabupaten Gunungkidul tidak hanya berhasil memenuhi kebutuhan informasi masyarakat setempat, namun juga mampu memperbaiki kualitas hidup terutama dalam bidang pendidikan dan ekonomi. Kegiatan yang telah berjalan tersebut mampu menjadi role model bagi perpustakaan umum lainnya agar turut membantu memperbaiki kualitas hidup masyarakat penggunanya melalui kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat.   Kata Kunci: Perpustakaan Umum, Pemberdayaan masyarakat, masyarakat pesisir   Abstract As an institution that functions and disseminates information, a library also has a big part to participate in improving the quality of life of community. In this case, the library is expected to be able to solve the problems that exist in society not only in the field of education but also other areas, such as social and economic areas. This research is expected to study and analyze the role of the Public Library of Gunungkidul Regency in improving the quality of life of Gunungkidul coastal communities which is still relatively low.This research uses qualitative method with case study approach. The researchers interviewed 4 (four) informants; namely the Head of Public Library of Gunungkidul Regency, the librarian of Public Library of Gunungkidul Regency, and 2 (two) members of the training of batik. The result of this research indicate that the economic condition of Gunungkidul coastal communities Yogyakarta is relatively still concerned, because the majority of their work as a fisherman does not meet the need of their daily needs. In addition, the lack of awareness of the importance of education in the local area resulted in the number of school-age children who did not continue their education to a higher level, then decided to urbanize to get job in big cities. Therefore, the Public Library of Gunungkidul Regency has undertaken some community empowerment based on service programs; such as mobile libraries to remote areas, coastal libraries, One Home One Library, batik training, and online product marketing training. With these activities, the Public Library of Gunungkidul Regency not only succeeds in meeting the information needs of the local community, but also is able to improve the quality of life, especially in education and economy areas. Activities that have been undertaken are able to become a role model for other public libraries to help improve the quality of community life through community empowerment activities.   Key Words: public library; community empowerment; coastal communities

Abstract: Writing is an activity to express ideas or ideas that are in someone's mind. everyone must have an idea or idea, but not everyone is able to write down these ideas. some even think that writing requires a high educational background. students, for example, because they are deemed to have taken higher education and are accused of writing from assignments given by the lecturer. The low number of writers in Indonesia means that scientific publications in Indonesia are still inadequate. In 2019, Indonesia succeeded in publishing the most scientific papers when compared to other ASEAN countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. However, this figure is still insufficient, so that efforts are needed to increase the number and quality of good research writing. This activity aims to help make it happen. The target of this activity is students, both from public and private universities in Palembang City. The methods used in this PkM activity were material presentation, practical assistance, and discussion together. Based on the results of the questionnaire answers from 36 participants, the majority of participants agreed that this activity provided new knowledge and information in the topic of research writing. In addition, most of the participants also found this training interesting and made them excited to write a good research. So it can be concluded that the majority of students are not proficient in using Mendeley and Grammarly software and feel that both software can make writing their research easier.   Keywords: grammarly; mendeley; research; training; writingAbstrak: Menulis merupakan suatu kegiatan untuk mengungkapkan gagasan atau gagasan yang ada di benak seseorang. setiap orang pasti punya ide atau ide, tapi tidak semua orang mampu menuliskan ide-ide tersebut. bahkan ada yang beranggapan bahwa menulis membutuhkan latar belakang pendidikan yang tinggi. mahasiswa, misalnya, karena dianggap telah menempuh pendidikan tinggi dan dituduh menulis dari tugas-tugas yang diberikan dosen. Rendahnya jumlah penulis di Indonesia membuat publikasi ilmiah di Indonesia masih kurang mencukupi. Pada tahun 2019, Indonesia berhasil menerbitkan karya ilmiah terbanyak jika dibandingkan dengan negara ASEAN lainnya seperti Singapura, Malaysia, dan Thailand. Namun angka tersebut masih belum mencukupi, sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan jumlah dan kualitas penulisan penelitian yang baik. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk membantu mewujudkannya. Sasaran kegiatan ini adalah para mahasiswa, baik dari perguruan tinggi negeri maupun perguruan tinggi swasta di Kota Palembang. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan PkM ini adalah Pelatihan. Berdasarkan hasil jawaban kuisioner dari 36 peserta, mayoritas peserta sepakat bahwa kegiatan ini memberikan pengetahuan dan informasi baru dalam topik penulisan penelitian. Selain itu, sebagian besar peserta juga menganggap pelatihan ini menarik dan membuat mereka bersemangat untuk menulis penelitian dengan baik. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa mayoritas mahasiswa belum mahir menggunakan software Mendeley dan Grammarly dan merasakan bahwa kedua software tersebut dapat mempermudah penulisan riset mereka.Kata kunci: grammarly; mendeley; pelatihan; penulisan; riset

National Education System

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) was one of the initiatives of the Malaysia Ministry of Education to ensure the standard of our national education system was at par with the global education trends. This initiative was documented in Malaysian Education Blueprint 2015 -2025 (Higher Education, Shift No.9: Globalised Online Learning). Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) was among the public universities in Malaysia that were seriously involved in MOOC development. Starting with one MOOC in 2014, four MOOCs in 2015, 16 MOOCs in 2016, UiTM embarked into developing 450 new MOOCs in 2017. To ensure UiTM MOOC had achieved the required standard and quality of Malaysian MOOC, an internal guideline for UiTM MOOC Development (i-Learn Centre, 2016) was constructed. The construction of the guideline was based on the standard provided by the Guidelines of Development and Delivery of Malaysian MOOC (KPT, 2017). Some additional elements required by the administrator of UiTM MOOC were also added. The study was interested to determine whether the MOOCs developed by UiTM lecturers complied with the standard of UiTM MOOC and ultimately the Malaysian MOOC. It was also interested to determine the readiness of UiTM MOOC for credit transfer. To do that, a UiTM MOOC Evaluation Checklist was introduced. The checklist consisted of 45 questions which were constructed based on the guideline on UiTM MOOC Development (i-Learn Centre, 2016) and the Guidelines for Credit Transfer for MOOC (MQA, 2016). The study evaluated two active UiTM MOOCs in terms of adherence to the standard of UiTM MOOC. The findings of the study highlighted areas to be improved and provided suggestions to increase readiness for MOOC credit transfer.

Heuristic Information Processing

Abstract. Comments sections under news articles have become popular spaces for audience members to oppose the mainstream media’s perspective on political issues by expressing alternative views. This kind of challenge to mainstream discourses is a necessary element of proper deliberation. However, due to heuristic information processing and the public concern about disinformation online, readers of comments sections may be inherently skeptical about user comments that counter the views of mainstream media. Consequently, commenters with alternative views may participate in discussions from a position of disadvantage because their contributions are scrutinized particularly critically. Nevertheless, this effect has hitherto not been empirically established. To address this gap, a multifactorial, between-subjects experimental study ( N = 166) was conducted that investigated how participants assess the credibility and argument quality of media-dissonant user comments relative to media-congruent user comments. The findings revealed that media-dissonant user comments are, indeed, disadvantaged in online discussions, as they are assessed as less credible and more poorly argued than media-congruent user comments. Moreover, the findings showed that the higher the participants’ level of media trust, the worse the assessment of media-dissonant user comments relative to media-congruent user comments. Normative implications and avenues for future research are discussed.
