This paper compares Structural Equation Modeling and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory. Structural Equation Modeling and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory are all methods to study factors’ structure problem. Some steps of the two methods can completely replace each other and complement each other. This paper puts forward an integrated method of Structural Equation Modeling and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory that includes competing model specification, model fitting, model assessment, model modification and result explain.

Policy studies scholars regularly investigate linkages between public opinion and policy. The use of public opinion as a variable in empirical research poses special challenges. In this article I suggest that the logic and methods inherent in the art of structural equation modeling provide opportunities to overcome some of these challenges. I describe this type of logic as it pertains to measurement error, context effects and endogeneity. Using General Social Survey data for the United States and taking thermostatic feedback models as an example, I demonstrate why it is important for policy scholars to attend to (a) measurement modeling and cross-level isomorphism, (b) shocks that might bias survey response patterns and (c) endogeneity implied by the theoretically reciprocal nature of opinion and policy feedback. These examples come with discussions of why scholars should pay attention to model specification so that theory and empirics are in unison and how to perform model fitting and testing to better develop theories and models of policy processes.

Purpose – The research practice in management research is dominantly based on structural equation modeling (SEM), but almost exclusively, and often misguidedly, on covariance-based SEM. The purpose of this paper is to question the current research myopia in management research, because the paper adumbrates theoretical foundations and guidance for the two SEM streams: covariance-based and variance-based SEM; and improves the conceptual knowledge by comparing the most important procedures and elements in the SEM study, using different theoretical criteria. Design/methodology/approach – The study thoroughly analyzes, reviews and presents two streams using common methodological background. The conceptual framework discusses the two streams by analysis of theory, measurement model specification, sample and goodness-of-fit. Findings – The paper identifies and discusses the use and misuse of covariance-based and variance-based SEM utilizing common topics such as: first, theory (theory background, relation to theory and research orientation); second, measurement model specification (type of latent construct, type of study, reliability measures, etc.); third, sample (sample size and data distribution assumption); and fourth, goodness-of-fit (measurement of the model fit and residual co/variance). Originality/value – The paper questions the usefulness of Cronbach's α research paradigm and discusses alternatives that are well established in social science, but not well known in the management research community. The author presents short research illustration in which analyzes the four recently published papers using common methodological background. The paper concludes with discussion of some open questions in management research practice that remain under-investigated and unutilized.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan perangkat peer assessment pada pembelajaran kolaboratif IPS yang baik, valid, handal, dan fit yang dapat digunakan untuk melakukan penilaian kecakapan social siswa secara obyektif. Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan perangkat peer assessment kecakapan sosial yang disebut Rubrik Kecakapan Sosial. Perangkat pendukung adalah Jurnal Kecakapan Kognitif, Lembar Kendali Pembelajaran Kolaboratif, dan Rubrik Profil Keterlaksanaan. Subyek penelitian guru dan siswa kelas VIII (delapan) dari Sekolah Menengah Pertama. Data dianalisis dengan Structural Equation Modeling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Rubrik Kecakapan Sosial untuk mengukur kemampuan komunikasi, tanggung jawab individu, tanggung jawab terhadap kelompok, kerjasama dan kompetisi siswa. Hasil analisis rubrik kecakapan sosial, jurnal kecakapan kognitif dan lembar kendali pembelajaran kolaboratif dinyatakan valid dan reliabel. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa konstruk Rubrik Kecakapan Sosial akurat, konstruk Jurnal Kecakapan Kognitif akurat, dan konstruk Rubrik Profil Model Peer Assessment akurat, dan  model peer assessment mempunyai dampak positif pada peningkatan perolehan nilai rata-rata kelas pada kecakapan kognitif.

This study is research and development to develop an instrument of peer assessment for social skills called Rubric for Student Social Skills. The supporting instruments are Journal for Student Cognitive Skills, Sheet for Control of Collaborative Learning and Rubric for Profile of Peer Assessment.  The subjects of this study were teachers and pupils in the eighth grades of Junior High Schools. The data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling. The results of research show that Rubric for Student Social Skills measures commucation skill, individual responsibility, responsibility to group, cooperation and pupil competision. The analysis result shows that Rubric for Social Skill, Journal for Cognitive Skill, and Sheets of Control Collaborative Learning are valid and reliable. The result shows that the construct of Rubric for Social Skill accurate, the construct of Journal for Cognitive Skill are accurate, and the construct of Rubric for Profil Peer Assessment accurate, and model of peer assessment have positive impact on increasing the average score on cognitive skill.Keywords : model, peer assessment, collaborative, elaboration, interdisciplinary social studies

The purpose of this study is to determine and prove whether the variablesof the marketing mix significantly has influenced the consumer’s decision making tobuy the product at PT. Griya Pagelaran Bogor. The population of this study are thenumber of unknown sampling determination using Maximum Likelihood estimationmethod by taking samples of consumers who their needs has met with theresearcher requirement as many as 150 respondents. The analytical method hasused is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using AMOS 21 program. The result ofthe research shows that 1) Product Variables have a significance level of 0.05 whichis 1,965 > 1,96 and value (p) probability 0,49 ≤ 0.05. Then Ha is accepted andsignificant effect. 2) Variable Price level of significance 0.05 is 2.023 > 1.96 and hasa probability of 0.43 which is below 0.05. And the value (p) probability ≤ 0.05 then Hais accepted and significant effect. 3) Place Variables significance level of 0.05 is2.251 > 1.96 and has a probability of 0.24 which is below 0.05. And the value (p)probability ≤ 0.05 then Ha is accepted and significant effect. 4) Promotion Variables0.05 level of significance is 3.435 > 1.96 and has a probability in accordance with therecommended. And the value (p) probability ≤ 0.05 then Ha accepted and significanteffect.
