Directions of higher library education modernization in China

The purpose of the article is to explore the experience and to identify the best practices for modernizing the content and organizational structure of multilevel training of librarians in China. The methodology. The study has used a systematic approach, which allowed to consider all components of the Chinese higher education in the specialties “Library, Archive and Information Science”, to establish the continuity of educational levels of librarians, to find out the factors determining the training system’s modernization. There was carried out comparative and content analysis of the Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral higher education levels educational programs, implemented by Chinese universities in the specialty “Library Science”, “Information Management and Information Systems”. This allowed to determine the general and the specifics of the Information Field Science training in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), to establish interdisciplinarity educational components, to substantiate the objective strengthening of the information component in the content of higher education in library science. The results. The article has looked into the content and structure of 227 different levels educational programs (EP) of the information specialists training, with 41% of them being the Bachelor’s level EP, 49% — Master’s, and 9% — Educational-Scientific Programs (ESP) for the Doctor of Management degree (an equivalent to the Doctor of Philosophy) in Information Sciences, provided in 108 universities in China. There were clarified the EP peculiarities: about 40% of them are programs dedicated to Information Management and Information Systems (Program in Information Management & Information Systems); 35% — EP in Library Science (Program in Library Science); 31.5% — EP in Archive Science (Program in Archive Science). In terms of content, most EPs are interdisciplinary, which is due to the national information infrastructure digitalization and the focus of its components to support the basic technological processes of the information management life cycle. It is established that Chinese universities adhere to the IFLA Guidelines for Professional Library and Information Science (LIS) Educational Programs. The scientific topicality. It is substantiated that in the digital information market the content of modern librarian training should be updated with such relevant interdisciplinary educational components as: “Principles of competitive intelligence and artificial intelligence”, “Electronic library and consolidated information management”, “Intelligent control systems”, “Information security systems”, “Economics of Management and Information Industry”, “Methods of data mining”, “Knowledge extraction and management”, “Analysis and design of information systems”. The practical significance. Ukrainian institutions of higher education when improving educational programs in the can use the study results. Addressing to the best foreign practices of the library specialists training will allow increasing their competitiveness in the world information market and promoting better efficiency of the Ukrainian libraries work in the conditions of the society digitalization.

Science Learning Model in the Bilingual Class System (BCS) in Tahfidz Science Program of Man 2 Kudus

This study aimed to analyze science learning in the Bilingual Class System (BCS) in the Tahfidz Science Program of MAN 2 Kudus. The methodology in this study uses qualitative methods. Observation, interviews, and documentation collected data. The results showed that the science learning process was carried out in accordance with the learning steps, namely planning, carrying out learning activities, and evaluating. The BCS Program uses the Islamization model of science, scientific science, and integral Islamic Science in integrating learning between religion and science. The science learning model at BCS Science Tahfidz of MAN 2 Kudus is based on integrated science learning in Madrasah Education units and Tahfidz al-Qur'an Islamic boarding schools with the vision of creating students whose Islamic character, excel in achievement and are skilled in technology by using the Guidance, Research, Intensive, Science, Integration, Religion, Islamization, Scientification, Laboratory, Acculturation, Mentoring, Excellence, Intellectual, Complete and Evaluative model which is abbreviated as BRISIA ISLAM KITE.

DEVELOPMENT OF DISCOVERY LEARNING-ORIENTED PHYSICS E-MODULES FOR STUDENTS OF CLASS X MIPA CHAPTER WORK AND ENERGY

The purpose of this research is to develop teaching materials in the form of a Discovery Learning-oriented physics learning module that is valid and practical for students of class X SMA science program. This type of research uses Research and Development (R&D). The research subjects of class X MIPA 5 were 39 people. The research procedure used by the 4-D model is definition, design, development and dissemination. The research instrument is a questionnaire of initial analysis, validity, and practicality. Furthermore, the data were analyzed to see the validity and practicality of the E-module. E-module validation is assessed from the aspect of ease of use, time required, easy to interpret, and has the same equivalence. The results showed that the E-physics module was categorized as very valid with a percentage of 91.96%. Furthermore, the practicality of the E-module is assessed from the aspect of ease of use, time required, easy to interpret, and has the same equivalence with a percentage of 92.77%. Keywords: Discovery Learning, E-module physics

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF FIXED ASSETS ON THE STOCK PRICE OF THE COMPANY INDEXED LQ45 ON THE INDONESIA STOCK EXCHANGE

The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of fixed assets and the impact of these variables on stock prices. The population used are companies that are included in the LQ45 index contained in the IDX with a period of 3 years (2018-2020). The number of samples used were 15 companies and used a purposive sampling method using the SSPS (Statistical Package for Social Science) program testing program. The results of this study are fixed assets in the company have a positive effect on shares.

Using the Cosmic Curriculum of Dr. Montessori Toward the Development of a Place-Based Indigenous Science Program

Indigenous educators desire to use culturally restorative and decolonized pedagogies reflective of their own cultural values and beliefs in their science programs but have lacked models for how to start. They also often lack confidence in their ability to teach the sciences. This three-year qualitative case study used grounded theory methodology to discover (a) how Hawaiian language immersion (HLC) K–6 educators used Maria Montessori’s Cosmic Curriculum for the creation of a science program based on Hawaiian epistemology and cultural values and (b) why the Cosmic Curriculum appealed to the HLC educators. Five key themes emerged: (a) the notion of creation as interconnected and relational, (b) an epistemological similarity regarding how people learn, (c) using timelines as organizing cognitive structures, (d) a focus on the natural sciences, and (e) the use of storytelling and key lessons to engage students. Participants stated that they felt successful in creating science curriculum and teaching the sciences as they adapted the above aspects of Dr. Montessori’s Cosmic Curriculum. Future research should be conducted to discover if her Cosmic Curriculum can be adapted for use in other types of non-Montessori program and whether this kind of science program could encourage students to choose the sciences as a career choice.
