[BLENDED LEARNING MODEL IN SUBSTANTIVE THEMATIC TECHNICAL TRAINING OF MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH]. This study aims to determine the response and increase in learning outcomes of participants in the Thematic Substantive Technical training at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Blended Learning. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative with a sample of 60 people, the instruments used were observation, documentation, and closed questionnaires. The learning process is carried out in five stages, namely: live event, self-paced learning, collaboration, assessment, and performance support material. The results show that; 98% of participants were happy with the application of Blended Learning, 75% of participants admitted that it was easy to understand the training material presented in Blended Learning, and 90% of participants felt that the Blended Learning model used was effective. There was an increase of 13,49 (23.4%), namely an increase from the pre-test score with an average of 57.67 to the post-test with an average of 71.16.

Impact of Increasing Mechanic Competence through Competence Based Curriculum to Improve Product Support Performance in Leading Indonesian Heavy Equipment

The availability and readiness of heavy equipment depends on the level of product support. Product support as after sales service is important for customers to ensure that heavy equipment purchased is always ready for use and produces optimal production. Leadtime and mechanic speed in solving problems that occur in equipment and the so called On Time in Full Solution (OTIF Solution) affects the usability and productivity of equipment. Performance OTIF Solution affects Product Support Performance, and this affects the level of customer satisfaction. The development of mechanic competencies through competency-based training and problems in the field with reference to the Special Work Competency Standards is a strategy to increase the ability and speed of mechanics to solve problems that occur in machines in order to get good OTIF Solution performance. This research aims to determine the impact of increasing competence. mechanic through training with a competency-based curriculum on product performance support. This research was conducted by providing training with the blended learning method with training modules for machines with under-target OTIF Solution performance. The results showed that after mechanics received training, the OTIF Solution increased from the previous 2 years. namely 89% and 88% below the target of 90% to 93%.

Developing and investigating an electronic performance support system (EPSS) for academic performance

The aim of this study was to develop an electronic performance support system (EPSS) to improve students’ performance in the topic of scientific research methods. A review of the literature shows that EPSSs are usually developed using advanced programming technologies. This limits the widespread use of EPSS for educators and researchers. In this study, a mid-level EPSS was developed by integrating Moodle to a static (non-interactive) educational system, without using advanced programming. The study was designed and carried out using the developmental research method. Study participants were second year students from the Faculty of Medicine of Hacettepe University in Turkey. The system was designed by taking students’ needs into account, as well as other issues that the literature identified as points of consideration when developing an EPSS. The mid-level EPSS developed within the framework of this study increased the students’ academic achievement and students stated that the system met their expectations. Implications for practice or policy: Educators can support scientific research methods courses with EPSSs. Educators and researchers may take advantage of detailed steps in this research, if they want to develop such an EPSS. A mid-level EPSS is taken as reference when developing an EPSS without advanced programming skills.

Deciding how to decide: Using the Digital Preservation Storage Criteria

The Digital Preservation Storage Criteria (hereafter, the Criteria) grew out of a community discussion at the 12th International Conference on Digital Preservation (iPRES 2015) on the evolving landscape of digital preservation storage approaches. A Working Group convened to develop guidance for organizations that either use or provide digital preservation storage. The first version of the Criteria was presented at an iPRES 2016 workshop and outlined the Working Group’s preliminary results and sought feedback. The Working Group has shared iterative versions over the last three years that have been informed by community feedback gathered through conference sessions, online review and a survey. Possible uses of the Criteria include helping organizations to develop requirements for their digital preservation storage, evaluating digital preservation storage solutions, raising awareness about digital preservation storage, and providing training materials to inform practitioners and others, including a game to demonstrate how the Criteria might be adapted for use. A Usage Guide accompanied the release of the current public iteration of the Criteria to help apply the Criteria. This iteration of the Criteria contains 61 criteria grouped into categories: Content Integrity, Cost Considerations, Flexibility, Information Security, Resilience, Scalability and Performance, Support, and Transparency. The unreleased draft, Version 4, includes an additional category: System Security. In addition to introducing the Criteria and providing background about their evolution, this article highlights new areas of development. First, the preliminary results from an ongoing effort to map the Criteria to relevant international digital preservation and information technology standards are presented. Second, updates to the Usage Guide are discussed. The Usage Guide is a supplement to the Criteria that provides the contextual information necessary for implementing the Criteria and includes sections on considerations such as risk management, cost, understanding independence and ensuring bit safety. Finally, examples of using the Criteria in various contexts are provided to encourage organizations to apply the Criteria to their own situation. The Criteria, the Usage Guide, the Criteria game and related documents are open and available for review at https://osf.io/sjc6u/ , where future additions and updates will be shared.

CONTINUANCE USE OF MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR CIVIL REGISTRATION SERVICES

Department of Population and Civil Registration of Magelang City is a local government agency that run public services effectively and efficiently.

This study belongs to the category of qualitative research. This study used interview as its method. The results show that the continuance usage of SIMP3AK is determined by the existence of three indicators, namely, trust, efficiency and effectiveness, and satisfaction.

Get Real! Individuals Prefer More Sustainable Investments

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have created societal and political pressure for pension funds to address sustainable investing. We run two field surveys (n = 1,669, n = 3,186) with a pension fund that grants its members a real vote on its sustainable-investment policy. Two-thirds of participants are willing to expand the fund’s engagement with companies based on selected SDGs, even when they expect engagement to hurt financial performance. Support remains strong after the fund implements the choice. A key reason is participants’ strong social preferences.
