Madiha Dzakiyyah Chairunnisa — 2023-04-05

Legal Practice Courses as a practical course in the Law Study Program of FHISIP Universitas Terbuka. This course aims to hone students' high-level skills through solving various legal cases or what is known as High Order Thinking Skill, which is abbreviated as HOTS. In addition, this course aims to hone students' skills in compiling various documents in court proceedings as well as mastering debating techniques in the answer process in court. Another basic thing that is equally important is to provide students with understanding and experience on how the trial goes. Students need to understand that the course of the trial must comply with legal rules or guidelines (both the Criminal Procedure Code and the Civil Procedure Code). Presenting a trial simulation learning experience directly during a pandemic is a challenge for lecturers of the Practice Experience course in the Legal Studies Program. If at normal times, students can make direct observations at court hearings, then during a pandemic, students make indirect observations through various broadcasts and online trial documentation. To answer these challenges, there needs to be a breakthrough by using artificial intelligence in the form of virtual reality in practical experience courses. The use of virtual reality is focused on simulating the opening of a trial in which several roles are played, including the Registrar, the Panel of Judges, the Defendant, the Public Prosecutor, and Legal Advisor. With the simulation using virtual reality, it is hoped that students will find it easier and clearer to understand the flow of the trial and provide a different, higher quality experience than just making observations online through various broadcast media.

This paper presents the efforts made by a Team at Universitas Terbuka (UT) to provide optimal learning support services to students piloted on Management Information Systems (MIS) course offered in the Economics Education study program. Students in the open and distance education (ODE) system are required to implement self-directed learning. At the same time, ODE institutions are required to provide facilities needed by the students, one of which is providing learning support services for students. As an ODE institution, UT provides various forms of learning support services to students, including tutorial. Basically, there are two types of tutorials, face-to-face and online. During the COVID 19 Pandemic, due to limitation of physical contact, UT provided webinar tutorial to replace face-to-face tutorial. Tutorials online (tuton) are conducted asynchronously in a period of 8 consecutive weeks of each semester. The materials on tuton are basically an additional explanation of the materials discussed in the modules, topics for discussions, and assignments. Students are expected to log in to the tuton at least once a week to learn the material, participate in discussion, and on certain weeks work on and upload assignment. To provide optimal learning support services, synchronous discussions and augmented reality (AR) programs were added on tuton of MIS course in second semester of 2021 and first semester of 2022. The synchronous meetings provided opportunities for students to discuss topics with tutors and specially invited speakers. The AR programs were added to enrich students’ learning experiences. However, students’ response to these facilities have not been encouraging yet. Not many students were logged in in the discussions and AR programs have not attracted many discussions. Nevertheless, based on inputs from students, improvements were made to assemble this form of learning support service in order to improve quality of student learning support services.

DISRUPTION: MOBILE DIGITAL LIBRARY IN INDONESIA

Surya Adi Sasmita — 2023-04-05

In the disruptive era of the industrial revolution 4.0 as it is today, there are almost no difficulties in fulfilling information. Good information that is educational or information that is entertainment. Information also takes various forms, both in the form of writing to information in the form of videos that we can easily get. In this era of information dissemination, there are many things in life that must change in order to continue to exist and not be eroded by the times. Self-adjustment and capacity building need to be done so as not to be left behind and always be efficient. One of the professions that is engaged in the information sector and really needs to adapt to the conditions of this era of disruption is the librarian.

Technological disruption is defined by Millar, Lockett, Ladd (2017) in Mardiana (2018) as technology that can potentially create innovation disruptions in products, services or business processes at every level, such as industrial structure, industry segmentation and social systems (changes in social relations).

The presentation of this study was carried out in a descriptive narrative and qualitative in-depth in explaining the discussion of the study. Narrative-descriptive and qualitative styles try to construct reality, and understand the meaning that interprets its meaning so that it is necessary to pay attention to processes, events and authenticity (Somantri, 2005).

Disruption and development of information technology today has affected libraries. This development can be seen from how technological disruption has made many applications, not only e-commerce, but also mobile libraries eventually emerge. In Indonesia, the application of mobile libraries is quite common, both in public libraries and university libraries.

WHAT MAKES A DIFFERENCES STUDENT ACADEMIC RESILIENCE IN OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING?

Ernayanti Nur Widhi — 2023-04-05

This study aims to analyze the academic resilience of students with open and distance learning systems. Implementing open and distance learning is not without obstacles, students who choose this learning model must have the ability to manage their learning both individually and in groups. Students are required to be able to manage their learning independently, starting by determining learning schedules, and solving learning problems that may be encountered in the process of completing their studies. Preliminary studies conducted by the authors show that the number of non-active students at the Indonesia Open University reaches more than 50%. Non-active students are those who temporarily stop their lectures. Students choose not to continue their studies for a while due to several things, including; (1) economic constraints, (2) time constraints, and (3) personal constraints (demotivation). This research is an exploratory research design that will reveal the academic toughness of students based on the type of service, joining study group, student motivation, cumulative grade point average, and duration of the study. Quantitative data was obtained using the academic resilience scale created by Benishek, et al (2004) and modified according to the research context, then distributed online to 705 Indonesia Open University students. Differences in students' academic resilience using open and distance learning methods occur based on their affinity with the study group (Sig 0.001), age (Sig 0.031), and the purpose of enrolling in college (Sig 0.038). Other aspects measured in this study, namely the type of service, last education, last GPA, and semesters taken did not show significant differences. Students who join study groups have higher resilience than those who do not join. Students who join study groups have social support in the form of fellow students who can discuss the same problems. The study group can also act as intermediaries between students and universities, considering that the location of students is far from the university representative offices in the province. Student age is also a differentiator of academic resilience possessed by students with open and distance learning. Younger students have higher academic resilience. This is due to their ability to control when facing learning problems considering that in the last 3 years almost all learning modes have been carried out online. The last thing that distinguishes the academic strength of students who take open and distance learning is the initial goal when studying. The student's motivation that have the highest to the lowest average are motivating the families, adding knowledge, getting a degree, career promoting, and killing the time.

INTENTION TO ENROLL IN A MASTER DEGREE OF TOURISM AT OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING UNIVERSITY IN INDONESIA

Anisa Zahwa Akbara — 2023-04-05

This study aims to examine the the students’ intention to enroll in a master degree of tourism at Open and Distance Learning University in Indonesia. We use four motives that possibly detremine their intention, namely: personal development, social support, career enhancement, and academic fit. Using a convinience sampling method, we collected 332 respondents which 197 of them are active-senior college students, 94 of them are finished their bachelor’s degree, and 41 of them are finished their master’s degree. The results show that personal development, social support, career enhancement, and academic fit are positively effect their intention to enroll in a master degree of tourism for all the group of respondents. As for the group of senior-college students and bachelors, the results show that social support, career enhancement, and academic fit important consideration factors, instead of personal development. These results have implication that the college students and bachelors do not yet pursue a higher level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, namely self-actualization when considering enrolling in the magister program of tourism. The main factors of motivations are to pursue safety (academic support), belonging (social support), and esteem (career enhancement). It means that the university may consider these factors when designing master program curriculum if he positions the college students and bachelors to become their key customers.

STUDENT PLAGIARISM BEHAVIOR IN ONLINE TUTORIALS (E-LEARNING UNIVERSITAS TERBUKA)

Nur Hayati — 2023-04-05

Universitas Terbuka is one of the universities that use an online learning system in its learning system. In online tutorials students must actively participate in learning activities by studying the initiation materials provided, responding to discussions, and doing assignments. Because assignments and discussions are important in assessment, students must respond and do all of them. If you don't do it, it will affect the value. However, sometimes in responding to these discussions and assignments, some students commit plagiarism, either by taking the full answers in the module, taking the answers belonging to their friends, or taking them from the internet. Therefore, this research was conducted in order to analyze the behavior of student plagiarism in this online tutorial. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to explore student plagiarism behavior in online tutorials (case studies on students of the Department of Sociology, FHISIP, Universitas Terbuka). The results of the study show that the reasons for committing plagiarism include getting answers more easily, answering assignments quickly, not finding answers that he thinks are right and getting good grades. Factors that encourage them to plagiarism include not understanding the material, being pressured, not finding answers on their own, and joining friends. In order to avoid plagiarism, among others, by answering according to your own thoughts which are strengthened by the module, citing original sources accompanied by sources and added from your own thoughts after reading the module book, paraphrasing the original source, and checking on the plagiarism platform.

Ernik Yuliana — 2023-04-05

The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (MoECRT) continues to strive to improve the competence of university graduates by providing opportunities for students to study or gain experience outside university. MoECRT then issued a policy of “Freedom to Learn-Independent Campus” (Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka/MBKM). For Universitas Terbuka (UT), which operates with a distance learning system, it is very feasible to implement the MBKM policy. The MBKM program was offered to students starting in 2021. The purpose of the study is to analyze student preferences toward MBKM program. Student preferences are focused on the scheme of MBKM organized by UT and MoECRT. The research uses a quantitative approach. The research population covers all UT students. Samples were taken from all study programs derived from 37 UT’s regional offices based on the following criteria: a) 4th semester students in 2021/22.1 for those students who take semester-based package system scheme or those who has taken a minimum of 70 credits (for students who do not take semester- based package system scheme); b) Minimum GPA 2.50. Data collection techniques were carried out through surveys and focus group discussions (FGD). The survey was conducted online to 600 students and there were 415 respondents who filled out the questionnaire. FGDs were conducted in three UT’s regional offices (Jakarta, Bogor, and Yogyakarta) with 15 students in each office. To find out the relationship between variables, correlation analysis was performed. The results showed that most of the respondents (51.8%) did not know about MBKM. The MBKM scheme of MoECRT that most UT students’s drawn to are Pertukaran Mahasiswa Merdeka and Kampus Mengajar (70.4). As for the MBKM program organized by UT, the most popular scheme are internships (72.5%), entrepreneurship (72.3%), and student exchange (65.3%).

THE 21ST-CENTURY OF LEARNING CALLS FOR THE 21ST-CENTURY PEDAGOGY

Maximus Gorky Sembiring — 2023-04-05

This inquiry deliberates and investigates the implementation of online learning after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia settings. Arguments on this issue are important given the rise of various complaints about online learning operations, from March – December 2020. Complaints originate from teachers, students, parents, and education stakeholders. Therefore, this study aims to scrutinize and discover the factors that potentially cause those complaints. Additionally, this study elaborates and introduces solutions exclusively by looking for transformative pedagogy so that online is as effective as offline learning. The outcomes are expected to procreate basic ideas as a bridge to anticipate and mitigate the potential for prolonged complaints at the operational level. The emphasis is also expected to minimize complaints in the operational and social domains. Methodically, this study utilizes a qualitative approach. It is a modification of the integrative literature review (ILR) and comprehensive literature review (CLR) procedures. Having amalgamated the two approaches, this study establishes six steps in the form of routine activities. The routine starts with designing, implementing, summarizing, analyzing, validating, and writing a report. Under this approach, the synthesis process is semi-structured and implemented analytically, critically, in-depth, and broadly. These steps are executed by systematically reviewing related previous studies to assemble new theories. After going through a process procedurally, this study constructs the main outcome with three supporting arguments. The main outcome is to generate ideas on applicable transformative pedagogic in online learning. This transformative pedagogy is then referred to as the so-called Maxiagogy. The arguments that support the outset of Maxiagogy refer to five basic conceptions: the revolution of online learning models, the evolution of pedagogy in online learning, the differences between online learning versus emergency remote teaching, and the system operations of online learning. The theory on expounding educational experiences is also included. This experience is used as a basis to ensure that the effectiveness of online and offline learning is relatively comparable as long as the educational experience exists. Maxiagogy, the proposed pedagogy in online learning, becomes relevant as a transformative pedagogy. For, Maxiagogy positions students at the center of the learning process by giving them full autonomy in the learning process. Students can also openly obtain learning resources since the reason for them to study is to be of benefit to the universe. Maxiagogy then considers students’ drive to learn so that they become more self-motivated and self-determined. This is a response to the demands and styles of millennial learners. Additionally, it was acknowledged that the role of educators will be reduced to the details that can be automated by applications. The idea of Maxiagogy is still in its infancy. Further studies with a wider theoretical and methodological spectrum need to be conducted. The results of a further comprehensive study will mitigate the complications of online learning implementation at the operational and social levels.

OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN FLIPPED CLASSROOM MATHEMATICS

Endang Wahyuningrum — 2023-04-05

Open Education Resources (OER) as an open source of learning is getting more and more qualified in line with the development of learning media in the modern era. OER has the potential to facilitate the learning process and improve the quality of education. OER is available in various media openly (implementing an open license) and free of charge to be accessed, reused, or adapted, and redistributed by its users. The use of OER in the flipped classroom ensures that the implementation of learning in the classroom is varied and interesting for students. Flipped classroom learning gives students the opportunity, before studying in class, to study the material first at home according to the assignments given by the teacher. The method works very well when there are students who are not present in class for some reason. The teacher gives a video of the material being taught to those who do not enter the class so that students do not miss the lesson. This article reveals how mathematics teachers perceive the benefits of OER in flipped classroom learning and its effect on the quality of student learning.

Potential metaverse as an educational environment. The recent metaverse craze has begun again, befitting the transition to an unwise society due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As the metaverse is rapidly introduced to life today, several applications of the metaverse have been used in education. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the concept and types of metaverse as well as examples of educational applications. the concept of metaverse and types of metaverse and proposes thinking about metaverse as a connection point or combination of the real world and virtual reality. Avatars in the metaverse are identified with a person's true self. Avatars are involved in social, economic, and cultural activities in the metaverse world. Metaverse means a world where virtual and reality interact and evolve together, and social, economic and cultural activities are carried out in it to create value. During the COVID-19 pandemic, personal distancing was applied, making it difficult to practice in the laboratory. Thus, there are many metaverse developments to support the development of the use of virtual laboratories. Virtual laboratories in educational institutions can be used as an alternative and even the main choice in helping the teaching and learning process which will take place as a substitute for real laboratories if school and learning conditions are deemed inappropriate. To introduce a virtual laboratory, it is necessary to provide training and direct assistance to Biology teachers or lecturers who will use these media and methods in their learning. Activities can be started by conducting observations and field studies to check and get the right information regarding the state and condition of the laboratory and the learning process in schools and lectures that will use the virtual lab.

Cacih Sugiarti — 2023-04-05

Sixty percent of the courses in the curriculum for the Diploma IV Archival Study Program must be feasible because
it is a vocational program. Students can currently gain experience in archiving in regional archive institutions located
in provinces, districts, and cities in addition to higher education institutions, albeit not all universities have such
archival institutions. Additionally, the distance that students must travel to get to the practice area is rather far. Due
to the shortcomings of this practice area, it is essential to establish an archiving practice area that is more convenient
for students to practice archiving, both in terms of an easily accessible location and uniform archival administration.
This descriptive study intends to offer a different location for students to practice archiving that is easily accessible
and has standardized systems and amenities. The methodology used is interview with archive manager at UPBJJ-UT,
site surveys and other documents that support the research objectives. Based on the data gathered from all UPBJJUT, it can be concluded that 23 UPBJJs meet the following criteria and can serve as a practicum site for Diploma IV
Archive students: the implementation of official document procedures, the classification of archives in archival
storage, the scheduling of archive retention during destruction, and the inclusion of an archive access security system.
In the same way, Perka-ANRI-standardized equipment such as archive guides, archive folders, output indicators,
archive organizers, and archive boxes have been employed in the equipment facilities.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE: A GOOD PREDICTOR OF STUDENT DROPOUT IN UNIVERSITAS TERBUKA INDONESIA

Sri Utami — 2023-04-05

Dropout rates in university that uses distance learning methods are definitely higher than those in conventional
universities, including at Universitas Terbuka (UT) Indonesia. The term “drop out” is called non-active student in
UT. This research aims to investigating the best time to identify students who become non-active and the student
characteristics that have a higher risk of being non-active in distance learning. The data used in this study was
provided by UT's Academic Information System Database (secondary data). Email surveys collected additional data.
Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify students that are likely to drop out by Sociodemographic
characteristics and their academic performance of students. This study reveals that grade point average (GPA) is an
excellent predictor to identify students becoming non-active, especially in the first semester. We need to monitor
student GPA throughout the first semester to prevent non-completion of their study, and it will improve the prediction
accuracy.

E-LEARNING PROGRAM IS IT A NEW HYBRID FROM OF EDUCATION?

Rulinawaty Rulinawaty — 2023-04-05

Since e-learning was introduced as part of the higher education landscape, many universities have
adopted e-learning in their learning designs. However, developing e-learning requires internet
technology skills, learning design, and high mastery of substance, so e-learning development
becomes complicated and expensive for some universities. Because of this, many universities
have started researching and experimenting with hybrid Universitas Terbuka (UT), has been
designed to provide distance higher education (PTJJ). UT has organized hybrid education. Hybrid
education in this study combines face-to-face education, distance education with media outside
the network, and education with online media. So far, most of the hybrid education described in
the literature uses the flipped classroom model. Other e-learning models are also often applied in
the curriculum. Distance education is in dire need of management support. Several studies report
the importance of adequate institutional support in implementing hybrid education policies and
their benefits from a curricular perspective. Institutional support and effective employee
engagement will improve organizational performance. This study explores the opportunities that
arise from the use of e-learning in the learning process. This paper presents the policy
implementation of a hybrid education model and a framework that describes the e-learning
hybridization initiative with conventional education as a two-factor continuum, namely: (1)
institutional support for the use of e-learning and (2) aligning curriculum content between elearning and hybridization programs. In addition, hybrid education suggests indicators to measure
the impact of these initiatives at the education and university level.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, food processing technology lab works performed by the students of Universitas
Terbuka adhered to government and university-sanctioned policies. To accommodate the pandemic situation, lab
work is performed online so students can fulfil the competency targets. Being a novel system, the quality of onlinebased lab work should be continually evaluated and improved. In this study, we focus on the performance of the
online-based food technology lab work in the Universitas Terbuka. By inspecting the archived data in the Food
Processing Sub-department in the Universitas Terbuka, we found that their lab works have been appropriately
planned. Resources to assist the online-based lab works are online textbooks, lab work designs and units, online
guidelines, video tutorials, forum group discussions with the instructors, and online lab work supervision. Software
provided by the Universitas Terbuka to manage the online lab work takes care of the registration, learning, lab work,
and scoring processes. The whole resources and software are managed by staff distributed at 39 regions across
Indonesia. Despite all the effort exerted for the online-based lab work, we observe that the failure rate is as high as
11.16% nationally during the 2020-2021 academic year. The cause of the >10% failure rate for our online-based lab
work system has not been diagnosed.

Metaverse is a three-dimensional virtual communication space that is currently being discussed by various groups,
both from its very rapid development and its implementation which is starting to be widely applied in various sectors
of life. The research method used in writing this paper is literature study by collecting library data from various
written sources such as articles, scientific journals, and documents relevant to the topics discussed. The research
design used is a narrative review. The reason behind the writer's interest in making this paper is based on the
phenomenon of hunting and trade in flora and fauna which is increasingly happening. This makes the number of
available flora and fauna increasingly threatened with extinction. The results showed that this did not make the general
public uneasy, even many of them did not know information about endangered and extinct flora and fauna.
Information about the extinction of flora and fauna is now diverse and easy to find, ranging from books in the form
of encyclopedias to applications on mobile phones. Unfortunately, according to survey data conducted by UNESCO,
it is stated that the reading interest of the Indonesian people is very concerning. In fact, the encyclopedia is a complete,
clear and detailed source of information. However, the price of the encyclopedia is not cheap, so it is considered less
economical and static. Therefore, the idea was created to create Metaverspedia, a three-dimensional virtual space that
provides information on endangered and endangered flora and fauna with the aim of helping the community, both
educators, students and the general public, in obtaining information and increasing knowledge about flora and fauna.
interactive and endangered species. The advantage of Metaverspedia is that besides being interactive, easy to reach
and also fun with a design that spoils the visuals of the users.

MANAGING MICRO-CREDENTIAL ONLINE PROGRAM ON GAME DEVELOPERS

Paulina Pannen — 2023-04-05

Game is believed to be the industry and the life of the future; thus, game is not a mere entertainment. In Indonesia,
the game industry is becoming a potential market to be pursued, and it has contributed to the dominant market (43%)
of gamers in Southeast Asia in 2021. With its demographic bonus and game market share, Indonesia has a huge
opportunity to build a gaming industry chain by accelerating organic growth through (a) talent creation; (b) flooding
the market with local games; (c) competing with the international game market to increase the country's recognition
and income.
ICE Institute participates in the game talent creation through coordination among 10 universities to form a consortium
and offer a micro-credential program for game developers in Indonesia. Most of the game developers’ training
programs are delivered face-to-face, while ICE Institutes delivered it fully online. The program has attracted more
than 5000 students from about 186 higher education institutions in Indonesia. After the selection process, 672 students
(about 13%) participated in the 14 weeks program. Students participated in 15 credit hours courses of their selected
stream: game artist, game design, game developer, educational game developer, and game project management, for
8 weeks. Afterward, students were teamed to work on developing Minimum Viable Product (MVP) games in various
genres: entertainment games, serious games, and educational games. Using the virtual game lab, 54 games were
developed at the end of the program. This paper will discuss the experience of ICE Institute in designing, delivering,
evaluating, and coordinating the micro-credential program for game developers, and some lessons learned for future
improvement of the program.

POLICY AND DISTANCE HIGHER EDUCATION: RESEARCH TRENDS FROM 1977 TO 2022

Eha Saleha — 2023-04-05

Distance higher education has proven to be a solution during a pandemic and has become an educational trend at all
levels of education and has become an opportunity as an educational strategy in the future so that policies that regulate
the implementation of distance higher education are needed. However, from the many publications, there are still few
researchers who discuss research trends that raise policy research trends and distance higher education. This study
uses data from the Scopus indexed journal with a total of 339 articles in English which are processed in excel and the
VOSViewer 1.6.18 application.
The research results show that publications in the Scopus journal on policy and distance higher education are still few
from 1977 to its peak in 2021 as many as 49 publications, then the policy keyword only appears 9 times compared to
the keywords higher education and distance or e learning so that this becomes a good opportunity for researchers to
examine more deeply about policies around higher and distance education.

CREATING AN ONLINE TAHSIN QURAN LEARNING WITH PEER TUTORING METHOD

Rifda Shabrina — 2023-04-05

Tahsin Quran is a lesson to improve the ability of reading Quran to conform to its rules (tajwid). In the current era of
technological advances, tahsin Quran learning can be carried out online both in virtual face-to-face learning
(synchronous) and independent learning with assignments (asynchronous). In tahsin Quran learning the students need
guidance from teachers or people who are more competent than them to be able to assess and give feedback to their
Quran readings. For this reason, peer tutoring method is the right method to be applied. This article tries to provide a
framework for implementing online tahsin Quran learning using peer tutoring methods. The framework includes the
application of synchronous online learning (virtual) and asynchronous online learning by self-assignments. The result
of this research can be used as a guideline in tahsin Quran learning so that it can improve students' learning experience

AUGMENTED REALITY VIDEO AS A LEARNING MEDIA FOR DOING CHEMISTRY PRACTICUM

Sandra Sukmaning Adji — 2023-04-05

Augmented reality videos in this study are learning videos that contain practical activities on experimental topics that
can be accessed via smartphones, but do not describe the direct interaction of the user. The purpose of this study was
to explore the views of students and lecturers on the need for augmented reality video learning media about the
introduction of laboratory equipment and examples of experiments to help students prepare for practicum. This
research is survey research with an instrument in the form of augmented reality video which is equipped with a
questionnaire and interview guide. A survey through a questionnaire was conducted on 39 Chemistry Education
students and interviews were conducted on 4 lecturers of the Chemistry Education study program. Data were analyzed
descriptively qualitatively. The results obtained show that (1) The experimental material can be accessed by students
via smartphones and is considered efficient because it does not require the use of a large internet network, (2) The
results of student respondents' impressions of the learning media provided are considered good and necessary, easy
to use, have pictures interesting, showing clear articulation, in accordance with learning objectives, can be used to
introduce students to experimental material. In addition to the good response given by respondents, there are several
suggestions including 1) The use of markers should only appear on the camera so that the markers do not have to be
scanned again, 2) it is necessary to revise this application because when the camera shifts the video will disappear
and if it is re-scanned then the video will start again from the beginning. Although there are several obstacles, in
general, augmented reality videos are useful as a provision for doing practicals.

STRATEGIES AND CHALLENGES IN ARCHIVING AND SHARING RESEARCH DATA

Dewi Maharani Rachmaningsih — 2023-04-05

Research data management is increasingly important for research sustainability and the data is best when it is reusable.
Collecting research data from previous research is not always easy, especially if there are no regulations governing
the management of research data. Management of research data is still new in Indonesia and only a few institutions
have implemented these regulations. When requesting research data to initiate research data storage, responses vary.
This raises the question of why the researchers refused to submit their data.This study aims to (1) find out what
researchers in the field of library and information science do about research data management; (2) whether they are
willing to share their research data for reuse; (3) what factors influence the submission of data. This research is a
qualitative research about the acceptability of submitting research data. The informants are researchers in the field of
library and information science in Indonesia. Data was collected through online interviews with several researchers
in their fields. Researchers in Indonesia are still not aware of the importance of managing research data. While the
National Science Agency (LIPI) has launched a Research Data Repository for all research in Indonesia, most
institutions have not implemented regulations regarding the submission of research data within their institutions. This
is also found in the management of subject-based research data, such as the management of library and information
science research data. Lack of understanding about the importance of data usage, data citation and the importance of
data reuse, causes researchers to ignore invitations and inducements to send their research data. The results of the
study also show that (1) Not all researchers are willing to share their data because they are afraid that the data will be
used by other people and want the data to be kept confidential. Indeed, this is different from data hierarchies where
data reusability has the highest value. Some researchers claim that they used the data for once and they let the data
deteriorate. This then causes data loss. Even though they are willing to submit their data, but they can't find their data
anymore. In addition, some researchers admit that they do not have valid data and they feel uncomfortable if others
find out that their data is not valid.

THE USE OF SMART ONLINE TEACHER PORTAL (GURU PINTAR ONLINE/GPO) TO EXPLORE TEACHERS’ INFORMATION LITERACY SKILLS

Titi Chandrawati — 2023-04-05

People in this era have gotten much information from many sources. Therefore, people need to be selective in
accepting an information. Information literacy is some skills needed by people who live in this era. Information
literacy is a person's ability to articulate his information needs, identify, find, and evaluate the sources of information
found and the ability to use that information. Universitas Terbuka (UT) through its faculty of Education has some
information and provisions to help Indonesian teachers in improving their competencies. One of the efforts is to
develop a smart online teacher portal (Guru Pintar Online/GPO). Smart Online Teacher Portal (GPO) is a scientific
forum dedicated to teachers and others who are concerned with efforts to improve the quality of teacher education
and the quality of learning in schools. This research was carried out to explore Early Childhood Education (ECE)
students’ teachers’ information literacy skills. The respondents were observing, analyzing and writing an report about
some videos from the GPO. The instruments used were open questions which was sent through online to the
respondents. The answers were analyzed qualitatively by the researchers. The online questions were consisting of
questions in exploring how the ECE student teachers can access the videos, how the videos can help the student
teachers analyzed the teachers’ teaching, and how the student teachers have learned from the videos. This research
was held in Bekasi and through online. The respondents were UT’s ECE student teachers. The results of the research
were 1) the respondents can access the video via you tube, 2) the respondents can determined strengths and
weaknesses of the teachers in the videos, 3) the respondents can wrote a written report about how to use GPO to help
PAUD teachers to develop their abilities as PAUD teachers. The research showed that the ECE student teachers have
already got some skills in information literacy.

THE AUTHORITY OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN RECALLING MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WHO ARE SUSPECTED OF COMMITTING CRIMINAL ACTS

Redi Pirmansyah — 2023-04-05

The recall arrangement reappeared in Law Number 22 of 2003 concerning the Composition and Position of the MPR, DPR and DPRD. In Article 85 subsection (1) it is affirmed that members of the House of Representatives stop between times because: a. death; b. resign as a member at his own request in writing; and c. proposed by the political party concerned. Recall is defined as the process of recalling a member of a representative institution to be dismissed and replaced with another member before the end of the term of office of the withdrawn member. From this understanding, it can be seen that the Recall mechanism is the prerogative of political parties.

Meanwhile, in Law Number 2 of 2011 concerning amendments to Law Number 2 of 2008 concerning Political Parties, it is stipulated in Article 12 that political party members who are members of a people's representative institution can be terminated from membership from a people's representative institution if: a. declare to resign from the membership of the political party concerned or declare to be a member of another political party; b. dismissed from membership of the political party concerned for violating AD and ART; or c. committed a violation of the laws and regulations that caused the person concerned to be dismissed.

DEVELOPMENT OF OFFLINE LEARNING MEDIA REPOSITORY

Suhartono — 2023-04-05

Currently the repository is a rich potential source of useful information, data, images and research results. Repositories are systems that enable institutions to store and manage digital documents as well as interact and collaborate between users within one institution. There are several digital library software available as "open source" or as "proprietary format". Open source software helps primarily in lowering initial and ongoing costs, eliminating vendor lock-in and allowing for greater application flexibility. The main advantage of open source software is that it is generally free to use such as the DSpace application. DSpace is an open source software platform for storing, managing and distributing collections in digital format. The DSpace application supports the generation of digital archives that are more permanent and shareable than analog archives. DSpace can support various kinds of artifacts, including learning media. Learning media is a physical tool, which is used by humans as an intermediary tool in conveying ideas about subject matter. The subject matter is related to real situations. Such as digital 3D scans (objects, photographic films, videos, research data sets). This research is a development with the R&D method. The first year (2022) Scheme Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluations (ADDIE) Development Model produces an offline repository application prototype and the 2nd year (2023) model and implementation guide.

Firman Karim — 2023-04-05

SMEs or small and medium enterprises are a type of business on a small scale that does not have branches. SMEs are a type of business that is resilient to the storm of economic downturn. This can be seen from the decline in economic growth some time ago until now this type of business has the most stable growth. With the large number of SMEs at the village, sub-district, district, city and even provincial levels, it is very significant to help the sluggish economy. If likened to a network, the network members are in the form of sub-systems whose units are small in number and very productive. However, if SMEs are not assisted by regulations from the government and universities as centers of thought in various fields, especially regarding business management, these small and medium enterprises will be difficult to develop. Study-based research on the application of the triple helix concept for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) networks as an effort to build community economic independence is based on the Triple helix theory which is an interaction between academia, industry or business and government which was developed in the 1990s by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff This concept has become a general strategy used by the government in developing policy innovations. The purpose of this study-based research is to describe the development of a network of SMEs to build economic independence. With data sources obtained from various documents related to the application of the triple helix, it is found that the Triple Helix needs to be applied as an effort to develop SMEs which can ultimately help economic independence in the community.

Agus Joko Purwanto — 2023-04-05

Distance education (DE) operates by relying on the media to bridge the relationship between lecturers and students. Thus, in higher education, there is complex management. This high complexity demands high competence of human resources as well. The Universitas Terbuka (UT) has 39 units in the regions and 16 units at the headquarter which require strong leadership. Leaders are not born, they are developed. One of the media for leadership development is the talent pool. A talent pool is a collection of potential candidates that help an organization grow and achieve its long-term goals. At all times, talent pools help organizations build ‘reservoirs of talent’ to have on hand. This paper aims to share UT's steps in building a talent pool as a vehicle for leadership development. The first steps in developing the talent pool at UT have been started since 2019. The steps taken are a study of leadership needs, study concept and talent pool policies, development of talent pool models, to gain management support, building understanding with managers and employees at UT, conducting potential tests, compiling test results into 9 areas, conducting talent selection based on potential and performance test results, conducting training on leadership, training mentors, conducting apprenticeships for talents, monitoring the internship process, evaluating the progress of internship results, and evaluating talents. The results of the talent evaluation will be used to provide feedback to talents about the personal potential that must be developed and at the same time provide an assessment. After the first phase of activities in 2022, talents will be trained on managerial instruments and will return to doing internships. Along with the implementation of the talent pool, UT is also developing a career path. With the career path, all UT HR will be able to choose a career path according to their potential and competence. After potential employees complete their internship, they will be placed on the career path that has been prepared. In closing, it can be stated that the DE organization, which is complex, wide-ranging, and has a high workload and a high risk needs to prepare prospective leaders so that the DE institution can grow.

Asnah M.N Limbong — 2023-04-05

The aim of this study is to elaborate the use of constructivism based on online learning program. The learners’ interaction with learning resources intensively is believed as one of the factors that will facilitate them to attain the course learning goals. There are various online learning resources that can be used by the students to construct learned course substance. Universitas Terbuka (UT), a state higher education that implements open and distant learning system, has to find a better learning approach that can be used to increase students level of interaction with online learning resources. One of the learning approaches that has potential to enhance students learning interaction is constructivism learning theory. Constructivism is defined as a theory that says learners construct knowledge rather than just passively take in information. Learners experience the world and reflect upon those experiences. They build their own representations and incorporate new information into their pre- existing schemas. The use of constructivism learning has the following consequences: 1) Students learn best when engaged in learning experiences rather passively receiving information, 2) Learning is inherently a social process because it is embedded within a social context as students and teachers work together to build knowledge, 3) Because knowledge cannot be directly imparted to students, the goal of teaching is to provide experiences that facilitate the construction of knowledge. This present study involve 35 respondents and used the one group pre-test and post-test experimental design. The result of the study indicated that there was significant difference between pre and post-test scores of the respondents. The use of constructictivism learning theory improved students learning achievement in online learning.

EFFECTIVITY OF AUDIOBOOK AS INNOVATIVE LEARNING MEDIA IN OPEN AND DISTANCE EDUCATION

Jaka Warsihna — 2023-04-05

There are many obstacles in open and distance learning. One of them is the limited media that can be used for flexible learning for individuals who do it, especially for those with disabilities. Earlier media such as e-books, learning videos, and classroom tutorials were not flexible for open and distance education students who study while working as well as those with disabilities (blind). Open and distance education students are generally constrained by allocating their time between work and study, so they need teaching materials that can be learned while doing something. This is what drives the emergence of audiobook media. This study aimed to see the effectiveness of audiobooks as an innovative learning medium in open and distance learning organized by the Universitas Terbuka. A descriptive quantitative design was used to identify the description of the effectiveness of the audiobook on the 145 respondents involved in the audiobook trial. The results show that the evaluation instrument used to measure the effectiveness of the audiobook has achieved good reliability with a coefficient of 0.952 (r > 0.7). Descriptive analysis of the dimensions of audiobook effectiveness shows that the majority of respondents are at a satisfactory level with this audiobook, both in terms of appearance or media features, media utilization, and the material or content provided. Meanwhile, the correlation results for each aspect are at a significant level, so it can be interpreted that the better the appearance, utilization, and content, the higher the respondents' satisfaction with the existence of the audiobook. In general, the results of this study conclude that audiobooks are considered an innovative learning media from the results of respondents' assessments and become an alternative media for developing open and distance learning outcomes.

Dewi Andriani — 2023-04-05

This study aims to describe the efforts of tutors in improving students thinking skills during online learning by providing structured feedback on the abilities to be developed. Providing feedback is one of the learning components that have a significant influence on maintaining student learning power online and can improve and develop student abilities in learning, especially the development of the ability to facilitate learning. Through providing feedback, students construct their thinking skills to solve problems, seek solution, ideas and make the right decisions to overcome existing problems. Providing feedback on every student activity in discussion forums and assignments is a wise investment to develop student interactivity and learning abilities. To find out the benefits and changes in learning experienced by students through the provision of feedback, an instrument was developed that is not only able to measure and explore mastery of concepts and learning skills but also able to develop low to high-level thinking skills during learning. Although learning has been designed in a such way to develop students abilities, higher-order thinking skills require other efforts during the online learning process. Providing feedback is one of the efforts in assessing as well as constructing students thinking abilities gradually from low to high-level abilities. This study also aims to describe the various types of feedback that can be used to develop the higherorder thinking skills that distance learning students should have. This present study uses qualitative analysis and observation to get information on student responses in discussion forums and assignments. This present study revealed and proved several benefits obtained and felt by students related to increasing the ability to facilitate learning, especially higher-order thinking skills. These findings indicate that providing feedback in various forms during the online learning period can increase the ability to facilitate learning and improve performance.
