Kindergarten and elementary school teachers’ numeracy knowledge and understanding
Full text linkNumeracy is essential for students to achieve academic success and develop practical problem-solving abilities in their daily lives. This study aims to investigate the integration of numeracy into the teaching practices of different lessons by elementary school and kindergarten teachers in Semarang, Indonesia. The data of this qualitative research were acquired from 26 teachers using a qualitative technique, which involved an open-ended questionnaire and the analysis of lesson plans. The result of the study shows that only two of the four components of numeracy were known by the teachers. Domain I, which pertains to quantitative information, is the most prominent. Still, Domain II, which relates to spatial information, and Domain IV, which encompasses strategies, techniques, and tools, are noticeably lacking. The study emphasizes the need to provide well-rounded teacher training that covers all aspects of numeracy in order to improve the quality of numeracy instruction. The implications indicate the need for specific professional development programs to solve these gaps, thereby enhancing students’ numeracy skills and academic achievement.

Literature Review the Effect of Wages, Loyalty, Motivation, and Job Satisfaction on Teacher Performance
No full textConfronted with teacher shortages and constrained budgets, many developing nations have resorted to lowering certification and education prerequisites, abolishing teacher tenure, and reducing teacher salaries in order to address the gaps in their teaching staff. A review of existing literature demonstrates that these measures have given rise to a parallel group of teachers who are typically inadequately trained, undercompensated, often younger, and inexperienced, employed on local contract terms. While these practices are generally seen as beneficial in terms of improving access, cost-effectiveness, and local accountability, scholar express concerns regarding the long-term sustainability of this approach. They also highlight potential negative consequences for educational equity, specifically in terms of teacher distribution, teacher morale, and the professional standing of the teaching profession. In addition to these factors, there are other factors that are influenced by the teacher performance, namely: wages, loyalty, motivation, and job satisfaction.

Dukcapil is responsible for recording births, deaths, marriages, divorces, and documenting identities through the Electronic Resident Identity Card (E-KTP). Dukcapil faces the need to address delays in document issuance, which will be the focus of this research. The data were collected directly when researchers conducted Praktek Kerja Lapangan (PKL) at Dukcapil. This study utilizes the linear regression method to estimate the time required for printing E-KTP cards that will be produced and calculates the Mean Absolute Error (MAE). Thorough MAE calculations using the linear regression method, researchers obtained a result of 10.2923 from the available data
Students’ perceptions of the quality of podcasts and vodcasts in teaching academic writing skills at a distance education institution
Full text linkFirst-year students in an open distance e-learning institution face academic writing challenges. These challenges can lead to higher dropout rates, increased failures, and delayed completion of qualifications. Key challenges include poor adherence to academic writing conventions, generating suitable content, citation and referencing issues, and writing style deficiencies. To address these academic writing challenges, podcasts and vodcasts were introduced as supplemental support tools. Podcasts and vodcasts aimed to reduce transactional distance and increase collaborative teaching and learning interactions. The student body, consisting of 30,000 individuals from diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds, participated in the study. A qualitative research approach was employed, collecting data through online evaluation questions and focus group discussions. The findings revealed that students faced numerous issues: poor sound quality due to weak voice projection, lecturers speaking too quickly and using complex language, excessively lengthy multimedia files, and information overload, which hindered comprehension. Based on students’ responses, guidelines were developed to assist and inform current and future lecturers about creating high-quality podcasts and vodcasts. These guidelines aim to enhance the academic writing skills of first-year students and create a community of practice among lecturers. Recommendations include maintaining a calm, audible, and neutral tone of voice, limiting podcasts and vodcasts to 15 minutes, communicating in straightforward plain English, simplifying module content, and providing transcriptions. These measures are intended to make multimedia resources more effective and accessible, thereby improving students’ academic performance and retention
A ANALYSIS OF NUTRIENT LEVELS IN LAIS FISH (KRYPTOTERUS SP) AS A POTENTIAL LOCAL FOOD SOURCE TO PREVENT STUNTING.: -
No full textStunting indicates impaired growth in children under the age of five due to chronic malnutrition, especially during the first 1000 days of life. The existence of complementary feeding can complement the nutritional needs of children. Complementary foods are transitional foods from breast milk to foods consumed by the family slowly. Fish contains vitamins and proteins that are more abundant than beef or goat. The potential of fisheries in East Kalimantan Province is quite high, so people can easily get animal protein sources such as fish. There are various types of fish caught by fishermen in the Mahakam River. Three types of local fish that are often caught by fishermen are Cork Fish (Channa Striata), Lais Fish (Cryptoterus sp.) and Betok Fish (Anabas testudineus). This study aims to determine the content in lais fish (kryptoterus sp) as a potential local food source to prevent stunting. This research is an experimental study with an Intac-group comparison approach. Simple random sampling technique. Based on the results of the study, the percentage of lais fish meat content for 24-hour treatment is water (96.4%), protein (2.16%), fat (2.45%), carbohydrates (1.28%) and ash (0.27%). The 48-hour treatment contained water (94.1%), protein (13.31%), fat (3.7%), carbohydrates (11.87%) and ash (0.76%). The 72-hour treatment was water content (82.14%), protein (22.56%), fat (1.89%), carbohydrates (8.78%) and ash (2.19%)
