Challenges and Opportunities for Developing Teaching in Quantitative Methods

The implementation of the Education Policy in the Covid-19 Emergency Period requires educators to carry out a learning innovation, namely self-directed learning based on digital literacy. This progress has presented both challenges and opportunities for human life. Humans can enjoy the convenience of accessing information and can enjoy the facilities of digital technology freely. Digital literacy needs to be developed in the world of education today to improve student learning outcomes. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the application of digital literacy on improving the learning outcomes of students of the Social Science Education Department, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, in the Development of Learning Resources and Media Courses at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. This research uses quantitative methods with a simple linear regression approach. The research data were collected through questionnaires and documentation. The questionnaire was distributed to 77 samples from 152 populations with the sampling technique using purposive sampling. Based on the results of the study, it was obtained R of 0.667, which indicates that the relationship between the application of digital literacy (variable X) and learning outcomes (Variable Y) is strong. The results of the F test prove that F 68,688> F 4.39, then the alternative hypothesis (H) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H) is rejected. The results and conclusions of this study indicate that the application of digital literacy has an influence on improving student learning outcomes.

To understand better the present shape and evolution of the digital history, this chapter examines how historians have used computers and information technology since the 1960s. Focusing on historians from Finland, the chapter starts from the late 1960s when a few younger historians first explored using the computer to perform statistical calculations. In the 1970s and the 1980s, the computers and data available were most useful and used for historical research designs applying quantitative methods. Historians carrying out qualitative research grew interested in IT when the personal computers became more user-friendly and affordable towards and especially during the 1990s. In the following decade, the internet, the World Wide Web, and digitized source materials effected all historians’ research practices directly or indirectly. Nevertheless, digital or computational history introduced in the mid-2010s took the use of IT further. These new methods were first embraced by a fraction of those historians who had previously focused on quantitative work based on textual materials. A central conclusion is that historians should pay more attention to the technologies they use to take better control of the challenges and opportunities of their changing research environment.

Omni-channel can be defined as a synchronized operating model in which all of the retailer's channels are aligned and present a single face to the customer, along with one consistent way of doing business. In this model, companies replace the many views of the customer they often hold today with one unified view of the customer—enabling them to respond in a consistent way to the customer's constantly evolving needs. This paper concentrates on various challenges faced by retailers in implementing the omni-channel and strategies implemented by them to achieve highest customer satisfaction. Also this chapter talks about future outlook for the Omni-channel retailing in terms of challenges and opportunities for the players in this industry. As part of our research, this chapter covers some of the well known companies' strategies from their annual reports, earnings call and other company presentations. Other articles from top supply chain magazines/websites have also been referred for the study. A mix of both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used for analysis.
