Based on the results of a student needs survey, as many as 64.7% of students need a guidebook for preventing and controlling sexual violence. Based on the survey results, the author aims to research and develop a guidebook for preventing and controlling sexual violence.

Arum Dwi Hastutiningsih — 2024-10-03

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it is imperative to assess the readiness and competencies of vocational high school graduates. This evaluation is crucial to ensure that these graduates are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to meet the demands of modern industries. The study, which uses a descriptive qualitative method, evaluates Vocational High School graduates' competency standards in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, particularly at State Vocational High Schools in Godean, Yogyakarta. The data analysis technique employed in this study involves qualitative methods, specifically thematic analysis, to identify and analyze critical themes and patterns related to the competencies and employment experiences of the graduates. Data were collected through interviews and observations of SMK graduates who have been employed or are currently seeking employment. The research findings indicate that the percentage of graduates who successfully obtain jobs related to their field of study or relevant is less than 40%. The main factor causing this is graduates' lack of interest or motivation to seek employment in Yogyakarta. Many graduates prefer to pursue job opportunities in other cities with lower competitiveness. Additionally, there is still a lack of willingness to develop themselves and improve the skills needed in the modern industry. It is crucial for graduates to understand the importance of continuous learning and self-development in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In conclusion, organizing job fairs is recommended to facilitate graduates' entry into the industrial world by providing opportunities for direct interaction with industry representatives and access to diverse job vacancies. These efforts require close cooperation between local governments, educational institutions, and the industry to emphasize the importance of self-development and skills.

I.G.P. Asto Buditjahjanto — 2024-10-10

One way to measure education quality is to evaluate students' learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of student stress levels and mobile technology acceptance levels on their learning outcomes. This research method used two methods, namely the Chi-Square method and the correlation method. The Chi-Square method tests the following hypotheses: (a) is there a significant effect between student stress levels and their learning outcomes? (b) is there a significant effect between students' mobile technology acceptance level and learning outcomes? Meanwhile, the correlation method used to test the hypothesis is as follows: (c) is there a significant correlation between the stress level of students and their learning outcomes? Moreover, (d) Is there a significant correlation between students' mobile technology acceptance level and learning outcomes? The Chi-Square results for testing hypothesis (a) show that there is a significant influence between the stress level of students and student academic performance. The Chi-Square results for testing hypothesis (b) show no significant effect between the level of mobile technology acceptance and student academic performance. The correlation result for testing hypothesis (c) shows a significant negative correlation between student stress levels and academic performance. The correlation result for testing hypothesis (d) shows a significant positive correlation between the mobile technology acceptance level and students' academic performance

A Needs-based Analysis of Information Literacy Cultivation among Contemporary University English Teachers in China

Huanan Su — 2024-10-15

The current study intends to expose and analyze a needs-based analysis of information literacy cultivation in English language teaching among contemporary university English teachers in China. Twenty English teachers from a Chinese medical university participated in the current research and were asked to answer purposefully designed questionnaires. A follow-up interview was also conducted to collect further data regarding information literacy cultivation in the English language teaching practice based on a needs analysis. The current research results have shown a strong need for information literacy cultivation in English language teaching among contemporary university English teachers and a severe lack of guidance for information literacy cultivation in the English language teaching practice. The research ultimately further suggests that university teaching stakeholders, including school leaders and relevant experts, should also guide university English teachers to meet the needs of selecting proper modes of information literacy cultivation in the English language teaching sensibly and facilitate them to fully develop their teaching styles and habits as possible as they can in their English language teaching practice.
