Authors: Rahmadhan Muhamad Adhytia Wana Putra , Handayani Putu Wuri
Published: November 2023

Background

As the volume of immunization records increases, problems with fragmented records arise, especially since the majority of records in developing countries, including Indonesia, remain paper based. Implementing an immunization information system (IIS) offers a solution to this problem.

Objective

In this study, we designed an integrated IIS prototype in Indonesia using the design science research (DSR) methodology.

Methods

The stages of the DSR methodology followed in this study included identifying problems and motivating and defining objectives for a solution, design and development, demonstration, evaluation, communication, and drawing conclusions and suggestions. Specifically, this study began with problem formulation and a literature review. We then applied quantitative (questionnaire with 305 members of the public) and qualitative (interviews with 15 health workers including nurses, midwives, and doctors) data collection approaches.

Results

The resulting high-fidelity prototype follows the 8 golden rules. There are 2 IIS designs, one for the public as immunization recipients and another for health workers. The functionalities include immunization history, schedule, recommendations, verification, certificates, reminders and recalls, coverage, monitoring, news, and reports of adverse events. Evaluation of the prototype was carried out through interviews and a questionnaire designed according to the System Usability Scale (SUS) and Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ). The SUS value was 72.5 or “Good (Acceptable),” while the system usefulness, information quality, interface quality, and overall value on the PSSUQ were 2.65, 2.94, 2.48, and 2.71, respectively, which indicate it has an effective design.

Conclusions

This provides a guide for health facilities, health regulators, and health application developers on how to implement an integrated IIS in Indonesia.
A Brief, Digital Music-Based Mindfulness Intervention for Black Americans With Elevated Race-Based Anxiety and Little-to-No Meditation Experience (“healing attempt"): Replication and Extension Study (Preprint)
Authors: Jones Grant , Castro-Ramirez Franchesca , Al-Suwaidi Maha , McGuire Taylor , Herrmann Felipe
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Race-based anxiety is a critical health issue within the Black community. Mindfulness interventions hold promise for treating race-based anxiety in Black Americans; however, there are many barriers that prevent Black Americans from using these treatments, such as low cultural relevance, significant time burdens, and excessive costs.

OBJECTIVE

This study is a replication and extension of findings that “healing attempt”—a brief (<60-minute), digital, music-based mindfulness intervention—is a feasible and acceptable intervention for race-based anxiety in Black Americans. In this study, we tested this research question among those with little-to-no meditation experience.

METHODS

The participants were 4 Black American adults with elevated race-based trait anxiety and little-to-no meditation experience. We used a series of multiple-baseline single-case experiments and conducted study visits on Zoom (Zoom Video Communications) to assess whether the intervention can decrease state anxiety and increase mindfulness and self-compassion in Black Americans. We also assessed feasibility and acceptability using quantitative and qualitative scales.

RESULTS

In line with our hypotheses, “healing attempt” increased mindfulness/self-compassion (Tau-U range: 0.57-0.86; P<.001) and decreased state anxiety (Tau-U range: –0.93 to –0.66; P<.001), with high feasibility and acceptability (the average likelihood of recommending “healing attempt” was 88 out of 100).

CONCLUSIONS

“healing attempt” may represent a feasible intervention for race-based anxiety in Black Americans with elevated race-based anxiety and little or no mindfulness experience. Future between-subjects randomized feasibility trials can assess whether the intervention can give rise to lasting improvements in race-based anxiety, mindfulness, and self-compassion.

An Engineering Alternative to Lockdown During COVID-19 and Other Airborne Infectious Disease Pandemics: Feasibility Study (Preprint)
Authors: Fujii Yusaku
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Now and in the future, airborne diseases such as COVID-19 could become uncontrollable and lead the world into lockdowns. Finding alternatives to lockdowns, which limit individual freedoms and cause enormous economic losses, is critical.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of achieving a society or a nation that does not require lockdown during a pandemic due to airborne infectious diseases through the mass production and distribution of high-performance, low-cost, and comfortable powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs).

METHODS

The feasibility of a social system using PAPR as an alternative to lockdown was examined from the following perspectives: first, what PAPRs can do as an alternative to lockdown; second, how to operate a social system utilizing PAPR; third, directions of improvement of PAPR as an alternative to lockdown; and finally, balancing between efficiency of infection control and personal freedom through the use of Internet of Things (IoT).

RESULTS

PAPR was shown to be a possible alternative to lockdown through the reduction of airborne and droplet transmissions and through a temporary reduction of infection probability per contact. A social system in which individual constraints imposed by lockdown are replaced by PAPRs was proposed, and an example of its operation is presented in this paper. For example, the government determines the type and intensity of the lockdown and activates it. At that time, the government will also indicate how PAPR can be substituted for the different activity and movement restrictions imposed during a lockdown, for example, a curfew order may be replaced with the permission to go outside if wearing a PAPR. The following 7 points were raised as directions for improvement of PAPR as an alternative method to lockdown: flow optimization, precise differential pressure control, design improvement, maintenance method, variation development such as booth type, information terminal function, and performance evaluation method. In order to achieve the effectiveness and efficiency in controlling the spread of infection and the individual freedom at a high level in a social system that uses PAPRs as an alternative to lockdown, it was considered effective to develop a PAPR wearing rate network management system utilizing IoT.

CONCLUSIONS

This study shows that using PAPR with infection control ability and with less economic and social damage as an alternative to nationwide lockdown is possible during a pandemic due to airborne infectious diseases. Further, the efficiency of the government’s infection control and each citizen’s freedom can be balanced by using the PAPR wearing rate network management system utilizing an IoT system.
Impact of Digital Decision Aid in Choosing between Face-to-Face and Guided Internet-based Psychotherapy for Depression: A randomized controlled trial (Preprint)
Authors: AUYEUNG Larry , Mak Winnie W. S. , Tsang Ella Zoe
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

The expansion of e-mental health services offers diverse treatment options, as well as possibilities for individuals to make informed decisions about their care.

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluates the effects of a decision aid (DA) for users in choosing between Internet-based and in-person psychotherapy, which aligns with NICE guidelines’ emphasis on shared decision-making in health services.

METHODS

A web based RCT was conducted with 148 participants exhibiting depressive symptoms above the clinical threshold. Participants were randomly assigned to either the DA intervention group or the attention control group. The DA group underwent a brief interactive self-directed web-based DA. The attention control involved an unguided web search on mental health information. The outcome measures included decision conflict, stage of decision making, and satisfaction with the decision, attitudes, and likelihood of utilizing the mentioned services.

RESULTS

A time-by-intervention interaction in ANOVA, F (1,136) =9.56, p < 0.002, 95% CI = [0.0086,0.16]) indicated that decisional conflict reduced more significantly in DA group than control. Chi-squared tests indicated significantly higher percentage of the participants in the DA group than the control group agreed that they "know the benefits and harms of each option", were "clear about which benefits and risks matter most, and "had enough support and advice to make a choice". In addition, participants who used the DA, preferred (OR: 2.26, p=.024, 95% CI: 1.11,4.60) and were more likely to use (OR: 2.53, p=.006, 95% CI: 1.13,4.92) guided Internet-based psychotherapy than participants who searched mental health information on the web by themselves.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrates the potential impact and value of DA in assisting individuals with depressive symptoms in making informed choices related to e-mental health. Coordinated investment in DA may facilitate uptake of digital mental health services. Future research should explore the behavioural and long-term impact and generalizability of decision aids in applied settings.

Authors: Fernandez Chery , Balijon Meshel , Ancho Inero
Published: November 2023

This research determined the trends and challenges in career preferences of the public high schools in Cebu City, Philippines. The study participants were 35 students, including five guidance counselors and advocates (GCA) from different identified public national high schools. This research used a quantitative-qualitative mixed design through a focused group discussion to confirm the responses of the respondents. The results show that students often choose careers that suit the needs of their families. Sometimes, they use Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and My Space to seek a job, base their choices in popular courses/degrees today, they even use technology to do that or choose a career that fits their abilities. According to the GCAs, most of the students lack motivation and do not know the deeper reasons for the courses that they want and just pick a degree program just for the sake of having one.  Sometimes, they lack information about different careers, base things on practicality, they cannot decide, they do not have a choice and their parents choose their career for them. The findings suggest GCAs need to encourage learners, and their parents to make use of a career pathing design for them to be guided in terms of their career decisions.

Authors: Nirzalin Nirzalin , Bachri Naufal , Fakhrurrazi Fakhrurrazi , Yunanda Rizki , Ilham Iromi , Muchlis Muchlis
Published: November 2023

Following the conflict that prevailed from 1976 to 2005, a state of social disintegration persisted between former combatants of the Gerakan Aceh Merdeka - GAM (Free Aceh Movement) and the civil society in Aceh. This disintegration was typically fueled by the former GAM combatants’ militaristic and pragmatic mindsets, instability, and low economic well-being. Interestingly, former GAM combatants in Nisam Antara Subdistrict, North Aceh Regency, have managed to collaborate and coexist with local communities, exemplifying successful social reintegration that distinguishes them from their counterparts in other regions of Aceh. This article delves into the reality of social reintegration between former GAM combatants and the local populace, with a specific focus on the oil palm plantations managed by former GAM combatants. The study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, and data was gathered through a combination of observations, in-depth interviews, document analyses, and focus group discussions. Key informants for this study included former GAM combatants, community and traditional leaders, plantation workers, and members of civil society. The study reveals that moral obligations within communities are guided by local wisdom, which acts as a form of social capital that fosters economic and social collaborations. Local wisdom serves as a social capital that nurtures the development of fraternity, mutual trust, cooperation, and solidarity. Moreover, it has the capacity to minimize differences and resentments, thereby promoting unity between former GAM combatants and local communities. This unity significantly contributes to the sustainability of peace in Aceh, Indonesia.

Review on Recycling of Food Waste to Produce Plant Fertilizers
Authors: Kansoriya Nidhi , Singh M. M
Published: November 2023

Abstract: Sustainable waste management and agriculture are discussed in the perspective of food waste recycling into plant nutrients. The environmental, social, and economic effects of food waste are discussed in this review to highlight their global significance. Methods for turning food scraps into plant nutrients are compared and contrasted, with each approach's benefits and drawbacks highlighted. The staggering annual amounts of food wasted highlight the critical need for a comprehensive response to this problem. Putting food scraps to use as plant fertilizer is an eco-friendly option that follows the principles of the circular economy by reusing otherwise useless materials. Composting, anaerobic digestion, and vermicomposting are examined as three basic strategies for recycling food waste; each approach has its own benefits and flexibility. Anaerobic digestion, for instance, is well-suited to handling large quantities of organic waste, while composting is more suited to urban and domestic settings. It has been demonstrated that fertilizers made from food waste improve soil quality, stimulate plant growth, and add to overall agricultural output. Without the use of synthetic chemicals, these fertilizers increase soil structure, water retention, and plant nourishment. Furthermore, recycling helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, which is an important factor in slowing global warming. However, obstacles such as contamination worries, regulatory frameworks, public awareness, and technological developments stand in the way of widespread implementation of food waste recycling. The quality of the fertilizers that can be made from food waste relies heavily on the efficacy of collection and sorting processes. Guaranteeing the safety and efficacy of these items relies heavily on the establishment of regulatory standards and quality controls. Increasing public knowledge and understanding is critical if we are to see a shift in how people typically approach the recycling of food scraps.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Kiil
Published: November 2023

Objectives This study is aimed at inducing learners' active and voluntary participation in class activities based on the EL (Engaged Learning) Class system, establishing and organizing creative and self-directed lesson plans, pro-moting a sense of sociality, cooperation and task-solving capabilities through the process of presentations and discussions among the participants, and finally cultivating talented future leaders in society.
Methods By applying the three principles of “Defining a Problem”, “Drawing Ideas”, and “Application and Con-firmation of Solutions”, this scheme has been operated by centering on experience-based learning.
Results The course of “French Theater” has been selected as the target program for the EL class for 21 learners who had applied for participation. But various outcomes — such as watching various performances, evaluation of works, and a survey of the theater, among others — were derived according to the learners' tastes and willingness to participate. By evaluating class satisfaction and participation, this study has examined the direction for further improvement in the next EL classes.
Conclusions In the EL class, which was conducted for 21 learners, the instructor broke away from the previous method of unilaterally presenting a topic to the learners and instead induced the learners to present the topic, re-search and draw a solution, thus resulting in a higher level of participation. However, the study has produced some shortcomings in terms of spending more hours for activities other than those for classes on the side of the stu-dents and of producing more expenses for learning in conducting the EL class.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jeon Yeonhong
Published: November 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of tinkering activities as digital literacy practices in general education courses on the digital literacy competencies of university students.
Methods To achieve the research objective, 197 students enrolled in a maker general education course at D University in Gyeongsangbuk-do were selected. Among them, 168 students were assigned to the experimental group, and 29 students were assigned to the control group. The experimental group engaged in tinkering activities online for 12 weeks while taking the maker general education course, after completing a pre-test for digital literacy. The control group only participated in the maker general education course and underwent a post-test for digital literacy.
Results The post-test digital literacy scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t=2.280, p=.012), and they were also significantly higher than the pre-test scores of the ex-perimental group (t=2.837, p=.003). Furthermore, an analysis of the differences in digital literacy scores based on students' major, grade, and gender revealed significant differences in gender in the pre-test results of the ex-perimental group (F=4.026, p=.047), as well as a significant interaction effect between major and gender (F=3.101, p=.048). In the post-test results of the experimental group, significant differences were found in digital literacy scores based on gender (F=5.278, p=.023).
Conclusions Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that the incorporation of tinkering activities in uni-versity maker general education courses can contribute to enhancing students' digital literacy levels. The im-provement effects were observed among students with various characteristics, particularly among male students in engineering and fine arts colleges. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of participating stu-dents when implementing tinkering activities in each course.

Published: November 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to look at how social discourse on ‘creative human beings in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution’ is emerging and to seek directions for fostering creative human beings in the context of the whole society.
Methods To achieve the purpose of this study, 1,463 pieces of online news data from 2016, when the World Economic Forum was held, to January 2021 were collected through Textom. The collected data were subjected to CONCOR analysis based on data purification to derive clusters. Thematic analysis was conducted based on the derived clusters to name topics and describe their meaning through topic conceptualization and categorization.
Results As a result of the analysis, firstly, ‘preparation for the future through nurturing convergence-type talent’ can be seen as an emphasis on creative education to foster convergence-type talent who can adapt to the rapidly changing social environment and discover new possibilities. Second, ‘humanity-based creative thinking’ is an emphasis on holistic education that makes people more human based on sound character and the development of emotions. Third, ‘competency strengthening through DT (Digital Transformation) education’ requires efforts to permeate the digital ecosystem while actively responding to changes in the digital environment in order to lead new possibilities in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution based on technological innovation. Fourth, ‘change in policy stance due to COVID-19’ has resulted in various discourses on the acceleration of digital innovation after COVID-19, non-face-to-face economy, social distancing, learning deficits, and care gap, etc.
Conclusions Through the results of this study, social efforts and directions for fostering creative human beings who will lead the era of the 4th industrial revolution were presented, and follow-up studies were suggested based on the discussion.
An Investigation into the Career Development of Students Who Major in English Education in a Local University
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Youn-Hee
Published: November 2023

Objectives This study aimed to comprehensively examine the career development of students who major in English education in a local university.
Methods Thirty-four seniors who major in English education in a local university completed a survey that com-posed of 16 muitiple-choiced items and 5 open-ended items. More specifically, it surveyed 1) their current career development, 2) the use of career development support program, and 3) suggestions about career development to a department, university, community, and country.
Results The findings indicated that the students usually refer to the people surrounding them and consult their parents to discuss their career development. In addition, they put their priority to job stability and their interest when they choose a job. More than half of the students were found to seek a career which is irrelevant to English education. Those who seek a career which is relevant to English education considered English proficiency is the most important factor to achieve their career goals, wehreas those who seek a career which is irrelevant to English education considered working-level knowledge is the most important factor to achieve their career goals. Both of the groups concerned that low birth rate and their task-related competence are the factors that threatened their career achievement. In general, the students participated in the career development support program less than 1 or 2-3 times because the support program did not fit into their majors or prospective careers. Moreover, most of the students reported that they did not have an internship opportunity in a workplace that is related to their prospective careers. However, they affirmed that those internship opportunities would be a valuable asset to de-velop their careers. To conclude, the students suggested that a department, university, community, and country implement practical policies that can support career development for university students.
Conclusions Practical career development support programs that focus on those who major in humanities or edu-cation in a local university need to be implemented.

University Students' Experiences with Lethargy and the Methods of Support in Higher Educational Institutions: Exploration Using a Focus Group Interview
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Hyejin
Published: November 2023

Objectives By listening to university students’ “voice and words” of lethargy and their academic needs, this study aims to identify the ways through which higher educational communities can help these students.
Methods A focus group interview was conducted with six students studying at W University.
Results The students experienced lethargy in different aspects of life, including physical, academic, and inter-personal aspects. They experienced lethargy due to social pressure, unsupportive parents, lack of communication with professors, disjointed or unfulfilling relationships, the experience and/or feeling of failure, the lack of career goals, and the social prejudice of local universities. They endeavored to overcome lethargy by focusing on them-selves and spending time with the people in their inner circle. Further, they needed the academic body to focus on curricula, extra-curricular programs, and improving and/or developing programs to help them recover from lethargy.
Conclusions The results suggest that higher educational institutions should shift towards a “student-oriented” paradigm so that they can focus on students’ lethargy. They should comprehensively consider curricula and ex-tra-curricular programs to mitigate and help recover students’ lethargy. Furthermore, they should foster the de-velopment of positive emotions for the students to strengthen their resilience and abate the effects of negative factors during the intervention.

Methods To this end, through a research institute parental support, career decision-making self-efficacy, and job-seeking stress were measured for 292 unemployed early adult in Seoul and the metropolitan area for 10 days form April 12, 2022. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were performed on the variable of each scale, and the significance of the mediating effect was verified by bootstrapping.
Results The results of this study are as follows: Fist, there was a significant positive correlation between parental support and career decision self-efficacy of unemployed early adult, and a significant negative correlation be-tween job-seeking stress, parental support, and career decision self-efficacy. Second, career decision self-effi-cacy showed a significant partial mediating effect in the relationship between parental support and job-seeking stress of unemployed early adult.
Conclusions Based on the research results, the individual characteristics of the influence of parental support on job-seeking stress of unemployed early adult were examined, protective factors to reduce job-seeking stress of unemployed early adult were examined, and finally, limitation for follow-up studies were discussed.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural relationships between college students' personal characteristics (self-efficacy, self-directedness, learning motivation, major selection motivation) and their learn-ing experiences, learning satisfaction, and learning outcomes based on the I-E-O learning process model.
Methods A total of 1,042 students from A University in Seoul were surveyed to measure their self-efficacy, self- directedness, learning motivation, major selection motivation, learning experiences, learning satisfaction, and learning outcomes. The structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the structural model.
Results Among the personal characteristics, self-efficacy had a positive influence on peer interaction, learning satisfaction, GPA, and cognitive and non-cognitive learning outcomes. Self-directedness had a positive impact on learning experiences during class but showed a negative effect on learning satisfaction and GPA. Both external and internal learning motivations had a positive influence on learning experiences during class, and external learn-ing motivation had a negative impact on peer interaction. External major selection motivation had a positive effect on peer interaction but negatively affected grades and learning experiences during class. On the other hand, in-ternal major choice motivation had a positive influence on learning satisfaction and peer interaction. Learning ex-periences during class and peer interaction had a positive impact on cognitive and non-cognitive learning out-comes, and learning experiences during class also positively affected GPA. Peer interaction did not significantly affect grades but had a positive influence on learning satisfaction. Lastly, the relationship between self-efficacy and cognitive and non-cognitive learning outcomes was mediated by peer interaction and learning satisfaction, while the relationship between internal learning motivation and cognitive and non-cognitive learning outcomes was mediated by learning experiences during class and learning satisfaction.
Conclusions The findings suggest that universities should provide information to enhance students' internal learning motivation and major selection motivation to improve their learning experiences and outcomes.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of agricultural professionals’ training transfer varia-bles on their training transfer in the workplace. In order to achieve this, the following problems were addressed: First, what is the relationship between the training transfer characteristics and training transfer in the workplace of agricultural professionals? Second, what is the relationship between each training transfer variable and training transfer in the workplace of agricultural professionals?
Methods For this study, 3 months after participants returned to work, 486 questionnaires were distributed to agri-cultural professionals participating in job training program of Agricultural Human Resources Development Center for March to November in 2019. Participants were limited to those who participated in programs suitable for grasping transfer of training. Out of 486, 428 questionnaires were analyzed. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between training transfer variables and training transfer.
Results First, there was the relationship between the training transfer characteristics and training transfer. Among the training transfer characteristics, Self-efficacy and learning transfer motivation of personal psychological traits, job-related and learning transfer design of training program, and supervisor support and peer support of transfer climate had positive impacts on training transfer. Second, The effective training transfer variables to training trans-fer affect training transfer in following order: learning transfer motivation, peer support, job-related, self-efficacy, and supervisor support.
Conclusions In order for agricultural professionals to apply training contents to the field, there is a need to examine the effective variables that affect self-efficacy and motivation, make an effort to strengthen motivation, organize training programs related to duties, design the programs reflecting learners’ needs, and provide experience data and action plans. In addition, it is necessary that organization provide opportunities for trainees to apply training contents to the field and there is a need of transfer climate such as continuous peer support and unconstrained communication. It also suggests that for professionals who value problem-solving-oriented jobs and personal competencies, research on various individual characteristic variables among the factors influencing field applica-tion is necessary.
First Language Influence on the Understanding of Break
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Hyechong
Published: November 2023

Objectives This study investigates the Korean language (L1) influence on the understanding of multiple senses of English (L2) word ‘break’ from a language transfer perspective.
Methods To achieve this, a survey questionnaire was constructed using 12 sentences with the different senses of break selected in descending order of frequency from the iWeb corpus. Depending on their English proficiency, 90 university students were recruited into tri-level proficiency (i.e., elementary, intermediate, advanced) groups, each containing 30 people. The participants were asked to translate 12 different senses of break, provide multiple responses for the senses they had prior knowledge of, and give a single response for the most challenging sense while explaining their choice.
Results This study yielded four main findings. First, as the corpus frequency of each sense increases, the trans-lation accuracy of participants tended to rise, indicating a higher comprehension of core senses with higher fre-quency senses and lower comprehension of peripheral senses with lower frequency senses. Second, senses with Korean equivalents exhibited higher translation accuracy than those without them, highlighting the positive trans-fer of senses with Korean equivalents. Third, the elementary proficiency group showed a larger effect size of Korean similarity compared to other groups, indicating that semantic properties of Korean have a more impact on it. The elementary group also exhibited a larger effect size of corpus frequency compared to other groups, sug-gesting a tendency for the mental lexicon to be more fixed on the core senses. The sense similarity between ‘상처가 나게 하다’ and ‘break skin’ tended to fail to be recognized, while ‘break the code’ has no equivalent sense in Korean, yet the translated phrase ‘암호를 깨다’ from ‘crack the code’ was exposed, thus triggering a distinctive pat-tern of positive transfer. Both examples indicate that learners' psychological perceptions play a more important role in language transfer than objective linguistic properties.
Conclusions While this study demonstrates the persistent influence of the first language on semantic transfer, it suggests that the impact of L1 may diminish as English proficiency improves and L2 learners may develop a mental lexicon that diverges from the influence of their L1. Future research is expected to explore the different conceptual structures of polysemous words across languages, and to investigate the effect of psychological per-ception on language transfer by using the research methodology that compares the findings on languages that use same scripts and languages that use cross-scrips.
