PANDANGAN MAHASISWA: PENTINGNYA KEMAMPUAN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) BAGI CALON GURU MATEMATIKA

The demands of education in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era require teachers to adapt to the development of digital technology. Capability in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an important thing that must be mastered. The purpose of this study was to show the views of pre-service mathematics teacher students on the importance of ICT ability in making an ICT-based learning media. This research is a quantitative descriptive study conducted at a university in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The subjects were 146 second-year students who had attended the Mathematics Learning Media Development course. Subjects were given a questionnaire about ICT ability and ICT-based learning media. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. The results showed that 78.1% of students were interested in deepening their ability to make ICT-based learning media. Students have the view that it is very important for prospective mathematics teachers to master the field of ICT so that they can make learning interesting, not monotonous, and can eliminate students' negative perceptions of mathematics.

The Effect of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) on Performance with Information Technology Capability as Moderating Variable

This study aims to gain an understanding of the role of technological capability as a moderating variable on the effect of ERP implementation on operational performance. Companies are expected to utilize information technology capability to encourage the sustainability of information technology developments. This study used secondary data from companies that have implemented ERP in Indonesia. The data were tested for validity and reliability and classical assumptions. It used moderated regression analysis by considering technological capability as a moderating variable. The sample taken consists of companies in Indonesia that have used ERP for at least three years. The result indicates that there is an effect ERP implementation on operational performance but there is no effect of technology capability as a moderating variable on the effect of ERP implementation on operational performance. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions by explaining how to build IT capability so that the implementation of ERP drives the operational performance of business processes. This implies the importance of companies implementing ERP and understanding ERP development systems such as good corporate strategies, executive support, and changes in business processes. The results of this study imply that there are factors that strengthen or weaken the effect of ERP implementation on operational performance in addition to IT capabilities.

Technology Upgrading and Economic Catch-Up

This chapter begins with a brief overview of the current literature on economic growth and innovation, and the process of technology upgrading. It defines the key concepts that will be used throughout the book and sets the stage for the challenges and issues around economic growth that will be addressed in later chapters. It then outlines the contribution of each chapter and the Schumpeterian or neo-Schumpeterian perspective in which they’re framed, and the four major themes that run throughout the book: the relationship between technology capability and economic growth from new methodological angles, including the middle-income trap; technology capability upgrading from structural, sectoral, and micro-level perspectives; the emerging paradigm of technology capability upgrading which is about sustainability, green growth, inclusiveness, and socio-economic and political determinants of technology capability building; and the several dimensions of innovation policy which reflect a state of transition or changing policy philosophies.
