Education plays an important role in printing Human Resources (HR), includingvocational schools. Learning methods and the availability of learning resources becomes very important and needed. The existence of the internet needs to be utilized to create innovative and interesting learning. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) which aims to determine the effect of the implementation of the blended learning team games tournament (TGT) and the Web-Based Module as an Effort to Increase the Achievement of Student Competencies in the Light Vehicle Engineering Program. The study was onducted in class X TKR 1, SMKN 1 Singosari in the 2017-2018 school year as many as 32 students. The treatment is given consisted of Action 1and Action 2 by observing the activities of the teacher, students, and post-test scores. In the pre-action, the percentage of completeness obtained was 67.74% while the Minimum Completeness Standard was 75%. After action 1, the achievement of student competence reached 93.5% with an average value of 86.53. While in Action 2, student learning completeness was 87.09% with an average value of 81.3. From the two actions implemented, it is found that the average results are above the minimum standard of a predetermined value of 75. The application of blended learning can improve student learning outcomes because the learning process is more interesting, active and innovative. students are more enthusiastic and happy with the learning model. With the tournament, students are trained to be responsible, care for friends, study independently and compete healthily. The application of Blended Learning team games tournament (TGT) and Web-based modules are recommended to be applied to other subjects because it is proven to be able to increase the achievement of student competencies and to be creative, innovative and interesting method.

Background: Continuity of Care (CoC) is a philosophical foundation of midwifery education that can promote the understanding of midwifery students to care for women holistically. In implementing the curriculum of Diploma-IV Midwifery study program, the application of CoC by students is carried out integrated in the implementation of the Comprehensive Community Midwifery Practices. This study aims to describe the implementation model and the results of the evaluation of the application of CoC. Methods: It’s descriptive research study, with subjects 89 people (clients and students) in 7th semester of Diploma-IV Midwifery Study Program of Poltekkes Surakarta. The instruments were in the form of observation guidelines, observation sheets on the results of CoC, satisfaction of care, and achievement of student competencies. Data is presented in verbal and numeric form. Results: The ongoing midwifery care model that is applied refers to the management of the client by a care-provider team (midwives, students and supervisors). The implementation cycle consists of: planning, implementation and evaluation. Outcomes of CoC: there were no complications in labor (91.01%) and newborns (95.51%), client's condition in the postpartum period and breastfeeding was normal (100%). The majority of clients expressed very satisfied with care (73.03%). Evaluation from students, CoC can support the achievement of competencies (93.26%).

Abstract The author of this article outlines the development of a scoring rubric to grade scientific translations. The article begins by enumerating the assumptions that shaped his teaching initially, before demonstrating how classroom observations eventually led the author to understand that his assumptions were faulty. The experience leads to a deeper understanding of student competencies, which are used to create an instrument that helps to describe student achievement and assign it an actual grade. The author argues that the rubric plays a part in overall student learning, and he describes the development of the rubric within the context of demographic changes taking place in North American universities.

Student Competencies

Assessing students' problem-solving competence is A perennial challenge for middle school teachers. “Textbook problems” that require only numerical responses do not give teachers adequate information about the student's understanding and misunderstandings. For a study conducted at the United Nations International School (UNIS) in New Yort City, we designed problem-solving test items that could be scored on two dimensions: the dimension of accuracy and under. standing and the dimension of information density, that is, the quantity of in. formation used by the student in formulating a response. This methodology led us to construct two-dimensional performance graphs for each student on each item. These graphs proved helpful in assessing student competencies and diagnosing student difficulties in the important area of problem solving.
