Lesson Study: A Tool for an Improved Instructional Design in Teaching Integration by Parts

This study aimed to develop instructional design in teaching the Integration by Parts in Calculus. By engaging in a Lesson Study, the researchers underwent careful planning of the design, executed it through a research lesson, noted key observations during the delivery of the lesson, and conducted a post-lesson conference. From the observations and insights during the post-conference, two themes emerged from where recommendations were drawn. The first theme pivoted on the propensity of teaching Integration by Parts as highly procedural and mechanical despite attempts at activating students’ higher-order thinking. However, the extent to which the tabular method could be advantageous should be explained to the students to clarify misconceptions about using it as a shortcut in performing Integration by Parts. The second theme revolved around how supportive classroom environment and the use of Tabular Method made the students more engaged. Nevertheless, providing learning experiences where students can be work on higher-order thinking and where they can process results of their collaboration was recommended to be incorporated in the instructional design. Generally, both Tabular and Conventional Methods play a crucial role in developing students’ mastery of this integration technique and may eventually allow them to make connections to the real world

PUBLIC EXPENDITURE ON HEALTHCARE IN POLAND (2010-2020)

Both expenditure on healthcare and the functioning of the entire healthcare system in Poland stir up considerable controversy and are often discussed in the media. Hospital debts, the low quality of services, and the low availability of specialist medical services form the basis for the discussion of the effectiveness of the healthcare system. Statistical data are also bleak. Total health expenditure in Poland in 2019 amounted to 6.3% of GDP (estimated expenditure), whereas the average for health expenditure in the OECD countries was 8.8%. Therefore, Poland is below the average, and is placed last but four in the ranking (stat.oecd.org). The aim of this article is the presentation of public expenditure on healthcare in Poland from 2010 to 2020. In order to achieve this, the following research methods were used: a critical analysis of the literature, an analysis of statistical data, and - to make the research more transparent and the research results clearer - a tabular method was used. Also, widely accepted measurements were used, such as absolute values in domestic and international currencies, values per capita, and values in relation to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).oduct (GDP).

PERENCANAAN AGREGAT SISTEM PRODUKSI DENGAN PERMINTAAN YANG BERFLUKTUASI: STUDI KASUS PADA USAHA KECIL DAN MENENGAH

planning compared to relatively constant demand. Varying the demand size will affect theavailability of raw materials, production scheduling, and financial planning of a company.These impacts of fluctuated demand will affect much in the Small and Medium Enterprises(SME) which have limited resources. These companies require a production plan that cananticipate fluctuating demands to minimize stock out and over stock of the products.Aggregate-disaggregate planning is a method that can solve the problem. This study discussesproduction planning using Aggregate-disaggregate Planning method in a production systemwith fluctuated demand. The case study organization is a SME that manufactures furnitureproducts. The objective is to develop a production planning using Aggregate-disaggregatePlanning Method in order to determine the kind of products to be made for the coming periodto anticipate fluctuated demand. The data collection is conducted at the case studyorganization such as demand and production data. There are several stages in developing theproduction planning – forecasting, the aggregate planning using tabular method withminimizing cost criteria, and disaggregate stage for arranging the master production schedule.The findings show which products can be categorized as needed to be scheduled along with thequantity of unit of each product or not to be scheduled. By using this method, the company’slosses due to fluctuated demand can be minimize and lean production process can be achieved.
