Civic Knowledge, Engagement, and Attitudes Among Lower-Secondary Students in 24 Countries

The ICCS 2016 study is a continuation and extension of ICCS 2009. The study explored the enduring and the emerging challenges of educating young people in a world where contexts of democracy and civic participation had changed and continue to change. In total, ICCS 2016 is based on test and questionnaire data from more than 94,000 students enrolled in their eighth year of schooling (Grade 8 or equivalent) at more than 3,800 schools in 24 countries. These student data were augmented by contextual questionnaire data from school principals of selected schools and more than 37,000 teachers.

Interdisciplinary perspective-taking within argumentation: students’ strategies across science and religious education

The importance of developing students’ argumentation skills is well established across the curriculum: students should grasp how claims are made and supported in different disciplines. One challenge is to follow and thereby agree with or critique the arguments of others, which requires perspective-taking, in tracing these other reasons and reasoning. This challenge is increased when disciplines construct argumentation and perspective-taking differently. Here, we consider the role of perspective-taking in argumentation within and between science education and pluralistic religious education, where the former aims at the justification of scientific claims and the latter at both an empathetic understanding of different religions and worldviews, and personal reasoning. We interpretively analyze student data to identify salient features of students’ strategies to perspective-taking within argumentation. Data from 324 pupils across nine schools are explored in relation to students’ challenges in perspective-taking, strategies for perspective-taking within argumentation, and the use of perspective-taking to construct personal argumentation. The analysis shows some barriers to perspective-taking within argumentation, the range of students’ perspective-taking strategies within argumentation, and how personal argumentation could hermeneutically build upon perspective-taking strategies. The importance and implications of perspective-taking within argumentation across the curriculum are considered highlighting challenges in the etic/emic shift, both within the individual subject as well as across them, and some reflections on how this provides a fresh pedagogical perspective on the science/religions debate are made. To end, we conclude with the wider challenges for disciplines and perspective-taking across schooling and university.

Implementation of Student Data Applications at Tinta Emas Vocational High School

Every organization expects convenience, speed, efficiency and accuracy in their activities, but the level of mastery a technology in each person varies, it becomes a factor in the difficulty of implementing a technology directly. SMK Tinta Emas, is an educational organization that has a vision to improve services in the school service information system to make easier student registration process. This system will accelerate the work process and achieve work effectiveness. The problem that occurs at SMK Tinta Emas is how to implement the application for staffs and teachers with various information technology knowledge backgrounds therefore in the application later there will not be many obstacles that occur due to errors in the use of student data. The community service team as an intermediary between the makers of the student data system involved in the system was asked to provide direction in socialization and education. Finally, the community service team hopes that this implementation and socialization will produce good results for the smooth process of modernizing school student data by applying information technology.

Information Reliability Assessment and Filtering for Decision Making. Case Study of Lithuanian and China Students’ Life Goals Survey Data

This article presents the methodology and tools to evaluate the reliability of quantitative sociological research data. The problem of filtering unreliable data is usually solved by statistical methods. This article proposes an improved method for filtering unreliable data. In this case, the statistical methods are not applied to the initial data but the value of the distance function between the two preferences. This allows for the disclosure of conflicting or erroneous data. Calculation of the distance between two preferences and prioritisation of life goals are based on binary relation theory, where the properties of symmetry (antisymmetry) are very important. The article presents a case study on 11 life goals evaluation and ranking by Lithuanian and China students. The study revealed that the China student data filtered at least twice as much as the Lithuanian student data, i.e., they are less reliable. The filtered data show that students of both countries ranked the most and the least important life goals in a very similar way with minimum deviations detected in the ranking results.

Resisting Crisis Surveillance Capitalism in Academic Libraries

In this paper, we consider what we identify as crisis surveillance capitalism in higher education, drawing on the work of Naomi Klein and Shoshana Zuboff. We define crisis surveillance capitalism as the intersection of unregulated and ubiquitous data collection with the continued marginalization of vulnerable racial and social groups. Through this lens, we examine the twinned crisis narratives of student success and academic integrity and consider how the COVID-19 pandemic further enabled so-called solutions that collect massive amounts of student data with impunity. We suggest a framework of refusal to crisis surveillance capitalism coming from the work of Keller Easterling and Baharak Yousefi, identifying ways to resist and build power in a context where the cause of harm is all around and intentionally hidden.

Trends in Optometric Education – A Demographic Snapshot of the Optometry Applicant Pool and Student Enrollment

ASCO has prided itself on being the “go to” source for any data related to optometric education. Two of the most useful reports ASCO does annually are the OptomCAS Applicant Data Report – A National Snapshot, and the ASCO Student Data Report. This article will focus on data trends from both of these reports, specifically detailing the numbers and demographics of the optometry applicant pool and student enrollment over the past twelve years.

Website Design, Information Systems, Information, SMA Negeri 1 Sambuara Essang, Talaud SMA Negeri 1 Sambuara, South Essang District, Talaud Islands Regency is one of the educational institutions that must also manage the data to facilitate information for both the school and the community. Based on the observations, the information management system for SMA Negeri 1 Sambuara still use input system manually, e.g. school profiles, student data, teacher data, and lesson schedule information. The public can only find the information out regarding schools and Teaching & Learning Activities (KBM) by visiting the school directly. This research aims to find out the problem before building an Information System at SMA Negeri 1 Sambuara Based on a Website, it is hoped that this system can facilitate socialization or promote the school to the wider community by using the website. From the results of this discussion, it can be concluded that; this system will make it easier for the school to provide information about student data to visitors or the public, and this system can also make it easier for visitors or the public to find information about student data without knowing distance and time. Comparison of the old system and the new system i.e. The old system is still done manually, while the new system has been carried out in a computerized system, the old system is not efficient and effective, while the new system is the opposite. In the new system, students can input their data directly into the system.

Web Scraper Dan Graphql API Untuk Data Perguruan Tinggi Di Indonesia Berdasarkan Website Kementerian Ristekdikti (Studi Kasus: Website Kementerian Ristekdikti)

The urge to obtain and transmit information is one of the reasons for current technological developments, such as the need for students to access higher education reporting forums or Forlap Dikti. Forlap Dikti is a website page developed by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education that contains data on student academic activities based on reporting data from universities in Indonesia. Therefore we need a support application to be able to facilitate and expedite the need for access to information on the Forlap Dikti website page using the android application. This study aims to: (1) Help collect student data as material for presenting the required information, (2) Design an application as a medium for finding information on student data at Bina Darma University, (3) With an efficient web scraping function it also helps in data analysis. This application uses puppeteer for scraping data from websites, App Inventor and GraphQL API to display student data.

Utilization of E-money for School Payments Using Web-Based RFID Sensors

School payments are a very important issue to support a school that is used to meet infrastructure and other needs. Therefore, if there is an error in writing or the loss of payment data, a difficult problem will arise. Because the payment process is still manual using a notebook.By utilizing E-money and RFID Sensors in the school payment process, it will be very helpful to create an effective and efficient payment process. That is by using school student cards as self-identity in searching for data that will be linked to a web as a basis. In paying school fees, you can also use E-money for the payment process. Therefore, the author will use electronic money to process the payment. That is by utilizing server-based electronic money in the form of applications such as OVO and DANA. Because it is easier and has been registered with Bank Indonesia, it will be guaranteed safe. The way it works is the first by installing an RFID sensor on the student card which functions as a means of finding personal data or identity so there is no need to search for data one by one manually. Furthermore, it will be linked to the website as a payment basis, where when the RFID sensor is successful in scanning student data, a payment option will appear, which can be paid directly or through the available OVO and DANA electronic money.

An Assessment of the Application of Private Aggregation of Ensemble Models to Sensible Data

This paper explores the use of Private Aggregation of Teacher Ensembles (PATE) in a setting where students have their own private data that cannot be revealed as is to the ensemble. We propose a privacy model that introduces a local differentially private mechanism to protect student data. We implemented and analyzed it in case studies from security and health domains, and the result of the experiment was twofold. First, this model does not significantly affecs predictive capabilities, and second, it unveiled interesting issues with the so-called data dependency privacy loss metric, namely, high variance and values.
