Case Study Methodology

Background: A volunteer programme with 50 registered volunteers was established in 2007 at a secondary-level public, semi-rural regional hospital in the Cape Winelands, South Africa. This was a rapid response to the extensive renovations and system changes brought about by the hospital revitalisation initiated in 2006 and the resultant expanded services, which required additional human resources. This study describes the hospital volunteer programme and provides hospital administrators with practical planning guidance for hospital volunteer programme implementation.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to (1) describe the outcomes of the hospital volunteer programme implementation intervention and (2) to make sound recommendations for volunteer programme implementation.Methodology and approach: A qualitative case-study methodology was employed using purposive sampling as a technique. Participants were recruited from a public hospital in the Western Cape. A case-study design was applied to explore the hospital volunteer programme implementation. In-depth interviews and a focus group discussion with thematic content analysis of transcripts as well as document reviews were conducted to conclude the study during 2015. The key participants were individually interviewed and included two members of the hospital management, two volunteers and one volunteer coordinator. A focus group discussion consisting of three volunteers was also conducted.Findings: The findings of this study indicate that a volunteer programme can meet needs and be a motivational force for both the individual volunteer and the organisation. However, it requires co-ordination and some secure funding to remain sustainable. Such a programme holds huge benefits in terms of human resource supplementation, organisational development, as well as the possibility of gainful employment for the previously unemployed.Practical implications: In practice, a health service contemplating a volunteer programme should develop criteria for recruitment and selection of volunteers, accompanied by the necessary documentation for applications. A coordinator of the volunteer service needs to be identified. Volunteers will need to be orientated, given access to in-service training and supervised. Consideration needs to be given to risk management of vicarious liability by developing a code of conduct, clear roles and responsibilities, managing staff and volunteer relationships and providing emergency care for injuries while on duty as a volunteer.

The pandemic has changed people's habits or people's behavior in non-cash transactions using digital wallets or e-wallets to reduce the risk of being infected with the coronavirus, one of which is by using QRIS. However, we have not often encountered the use of digital payment technology through QRIS in tourism locations. One of them is the South Square of Yogyakarta. This research is qualitative research using the Focus group discussion method. In this study, the number of participants in this FGD was ten people from the team, ISEI, and tourism industry players in Alun-Alun Kidul Yogyakarta. Based on the results of the research that has been done, the first conclusion is that the use of QRIS in Alun-Alun Kidul Yogyakarta is still minimal, even though 80% have received the code, but only 30% have activated it, and who use it no more than 2%. Some several obstacles and challenges cause this, including the low number of visitors, regulations that are not required, and the mindset of traders who still use traditional financial management systems. The alternative solution offered is QRIS activation for tourism industry players who have not yet performed and provided mobile services from BPD.

<p>Research on infants’ and toddlers’ peer interactions in childcare centres shows many benefits for children’s social competence. With increasing participation of under-three year olds in group-based early childhood services worldwide, there is also growing interest in the role played by childcare adults in supporting children’s social competence. In the Malaysian context, where the number of childcare settings is growing rapidly, early childhood research remains limited and is non-existent within the field of understanding the complexity of infants’ and toddlers’ peer interactions. At the same time there has been a mounting discourse by Malaysian economists promoting the benefits of non-cognitive skills to a country, thus focussing attention on social skills, of which peer interactions are a form. This study opens up this under-researched field in Malaysia through three qualitative case studies – one in each of three childcare centres in the state of Selangor. Each case study involved individual semi-structured interviews with the childcare practitioners, video-recorded observations of the children’s peer interactions, and video-stimulated recall interviews. A focus group discussion was conducted too with all of the practitioners after that. The aim of the study was to examine how practitioners perceived peer interactions among children under three years old in their childcare centres, and the kinds of peer interactions that occurred among the children. Drawing on constructs from a range of social constructivist theoretical perspectives, the findings revealed that at the start of the study, the practitioners saw themselves as promoting peer interactions by facilitating group activities and managing interactions between children by responding to their conflicts. The observations of children’s peer interactions revealed complex negotiations by the children who were actively creating a sense of belonging and togetherness at their childcare centres like embracing the centre’s routines, and responding to the needs of others including through humour and laughter. In the process of these interactions, children exercised their agency and learned the skills of becoming socially competent participants in their centre. Through video-stimulated recall interviews and focus group discussion, the practitioners deepened their thoughts on children’s peer interactions and saw peer interactions to be linked with learning around three main themes: learning through play; learning through gaining familiarity with others; and learning about having friends. My findings provide a picture of how the children’s peer interactions were understood by largely untrained practitioners, and how the complexity of children’s lived experiences remained hidden to the practitioners until they took part in the video-stimulated recall interviews; the latter opened up and deepened the practitioners thoughts about children’s peer interactions. This study differs from earlier studies in that it is based in Malaysia where the provision of group-based early childhood care and education services is still a relatively new social and educational endeavour staffed by largely unqualified practitioners. This has implications for future childcare training initiatives in Malaysia.</p>

This paper analyzes the asset securitization as a source of financing for small and medium scale enterprise. We use field survey and focus group discussion in Jabodetabek, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Denpasar, Medan, and Banjarmasin, covering 149 samples in total. This paper found the banks generally are in excess liquidity condition, therefore face difficulty on obtaining the minimum of Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). For this reason, those banks are not interested to sell the SME’s loan though they are quite interested on the asset securitization concept. For the banks, the major motive to invest in asset securitization program is a high yield. In addition, they expect this portfolio to increase the LDR. Prior the implementation of this program, this paper underlines the necessity to overcome some obstacles including non-bankable SME’s, liquidity and human resource of the banks, and limited information of the asset securitazion program (EBA-UMKM).  Keywords: asset securitization, SME’s, banking.JEL Classification: D24, L6, E32

Kurikulum di Indonesia dinilai terlalu kompleks dibandingkan dengan kurikulum yang ada di beberapa negara maju sehingga beban siswa dalam belajar semakin berat. Atas dasar inilah diperlukan KTSP, kurikulum operasional yang dikembangkan dan dilaksankan oleh sekolah. SMP Negeri 4 Ambon merupakan sekolah yang mengembangkan kurikulum sesuai dengan karakteristik dan kebutuhan sekolah. Permasalahan yang akan dibahas dalam penelitian ini adalah, apa saja kendala dalam pelaksanaan KTSP di SMP Negeri 4 Ambon, bagaimana upaya guru dalam menyelesaikan masalah dalam pelaksanaan KTSP, dan bagaimana upaya guru dalam menyumbangkan pikirannya dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran musik. Penelitian ini juga dilandasi dengan beberapa teori-teori terdahulu yang telah meneliti efesiensi pembelajaran musik. Proses penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus dan FGD (Focus Group Discussion) yang diperoleh dari wawancara terbuka dan diskusi terpadu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, kendala yang ditemui dalam penerapan KTSP pada pembelajaran seni musik antara lain, kendala siswa dalam mengaransir lagu, guru masih menggunakan ruangan kelas umum pada saat praktek, alat musik yang digunakan belum memadai, alokasi waktu yang masih kurang dan kurangnya tenaga guru. Dalam penerapan KTSP guru berusaha mengatasi kendala-kendala tersebut dengan menyumbangkan pemikirannya melalui solusi-solusi yang diterapkannya, antara lain dengan memudahkan anak mengaransir lagu, melalui lagu sederhana yang diaransirnya dan memanfaatkan waktu diluar jam sekolah untuk menyelesaikan materi yang tertunda.The curriculum in Indonesia is considered too complex compared to other countries so that students in learning is getting harder. On this basis KTSP is needed, an operational curriculum developed and implemented by the school. SMP Negeri 4 Ambon is a school that develops a curriculum in accordance with the characteristics and needs of the school. The problems to be discussed in this study are, what are the obstacles in the implementation of KTSP in SMP Negeri 4 Ambon, how are the efforts of the teacher in solving problems in the implementation of KTSP, and how the teacher attempts to contribute his thoughts in the implementation of music learning. This research is also based on several previous theories that have examined the efficiency of music learning. The process of this research uses qualitative research methods with a case study approach and FGD (Focus Group Discussion) obtained from open interviews and integrated discussions. The results showed that the obstacles encountered in the application of KTSP in the learning of musical arts included the constraints of students in arranging songs, teachers still using public classrooms at the time of practice, inadequate musical instruments, lack of time allocation and lack of teachers. In applying the KTSP the teacher tries to overcome these obstacles by contributing his thoughts through the solutions he applies, among others by making it easier for children to organize songs, through simple songs arranged and utilizing time outside of school hours to complete the delayed material.
