Facilitating the Development of Students’ Metacognitive Awareness in Speaking through Self-Assessment
Authors: Putri Daisy Rizqi
Published: May 2023

The need of developing metacognitive ability-knowing students’ cognitive capacity, the difficulties they meet in learning, and strategies to resolve the difficulties – must be highlighted. In accordance with this need, this research aims to find out the extent of which the implementation of students’ reflection, as a self-assessment, can facilitate students’ metacognitive awareness in a speaking class. This two-cycle action research involved 25 freshmen majoring in Dentistry whose placement test scores ranged between 453 and 617. This study took place in a Free Conversation class in a Language Training Center of a private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. For data collection, a 52-items questionnaire entitled “Metacognitive Awareness Inventory” (MAI) adopted from Schraw and Dennison (1994) was distributed as the instrument to measure students’ metacognitive awareness before and after the action, and the participants were required to write reflections. Teacher’s journals and class discussion were taken to triangulate the findings. The findings showed that inthe first cycle, the students haven’t been able to describe their experiences including the difficulties they met during the learning as well as the strategies must be applied to overcome the difficulties. In the second cycle, most of the students have grown their metacognitive awareness as they were able to express their difficulties and the strategies in handling them. Briefly, the reflection written by the students has initiated the growth of students’ metacognitive awareness regardless some constraints appear. Thus, requiring students to reflect on their own learning and harness their metacognitive awareness may result in better learning.

Developments in the area of task-based language teaching (TBLT) research have focused on the task implementation factors in that they effectively promote successful language performances. The present study aimed to examine the effect of task repetition on the speaking performances of students who studied English Specific Purposes at an Indonesian Maritime Vocational School. To this end, a pre- and post-test quasi-experimental design was applied that involved 43 participants, who were non-randomly selected and considered as two groups of the experimental and control ones. Both groups took a pre-test to ensure their homogeneity in speaking skill. For 12 sessions, the experimental group was engaged in repetitive practice of speaking tasks. Three weeks after the end of the treatment, both groups performed the two post-tests. The results of independent samples t-tests showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed their counterparts in the control group in terms of task complexity on the two post-test phases (p<.05). However, they did not differ significantly in terms of accuracy.

Authors: Pratiwi Anisa , Drajati Nur Arifah , Handayani Ellisa Indriyani Putri
Published: May 2023

Digital Game-Based Learning has gained numerous attentions among researchers and educators for its fun-learning concept that promotes learners’ enjoyment. The present study explicates two things: the learning enjoyment reported by EFL learners based on Fu et al., (2009) ’s EGameFlow and the impacts on EFL learners’ vocabulary mastery based on Nation’s (2001) concept, while playing games. This study involved an Indonesian EFL learner who is also an active digital game player. Narrative Inquiry methods were applied to present the findings. Thus, observations, learner’s reflection diary, interviews, and artifacts are involved in the data analysis. The results showed that 6 out of 8 dimensions of EGameFlow emerged, and vocabulary mastery was achieved through Nation’s (2001) concept—along with 78 new words and phrases learned. Furthermore, by looking deep into the participant’s stories, the findings also generate meaningful implications for vocabulary learning and learning enjoyment in digital game-based learning.

Published: May 2023

Different educational achievements between students from high socioeconomic status and those from lower socioeconomic status in universities are said to be caused by unequal access to learning resources. This research aimed at investigating students’ perspectives on the use of Duolingo in EFL learning to eliminate socioeconomic discrepancies in the university. This research used a descriptive qualitative design. Interviews were used to gather data from one male and two female higher education students majoring in the English Language Education program. This research shows two main findings. First, students have positive attitudes and enjoyable experiences in using Duolingo contributed by its fun, easy, accessible, and fun nature. Second, Duolingo, offering free charge for all users, can eliminate socioeconomic discrepancies among students in the university because it can be accessed by students from any socioeconomic condition.  It implies that Duolingo as an AI tool can be used by both educators and students around the world as an accessible language teaching and learning resource. Therefore, there is a need to develop students’, educators’, and parents’ awareness of the utilization of Duolingo as a solution for the limited access to learning resources due to socioeconomic barriers.

Published: May 2023

Mergers are familiar in economic terms, one of which is in the banking sector. Indonesia's banking sector adopting a dual banking system, namely the operation of conventional and Islamic banks, has caused the Indonesian people to have the choice to entrust their finances to one of the two types of banks. Not long ago, the Indonesian government announced that the three Islamic banks, which are part of the three conventional banks, would merge and change their name to Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI). Of course, this decision is not easy, but it is a decision taken after careful consideration from the banking and economic perspective. Based on data from OJK, the total assets in the second quarter of Islamic banking in 2021 after the merger was recorded to have increased by 16.4 percent compared to the previous year’s period. This increase is in line with Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) financial report data in the first and second quarters, namely with second quarter total assets of 481 trillion rupiah and second quarter total liabilities of 435 trillion rupiahs. Based on these facts and data, this article aims to determine the impact of the merger of the three Islamic banks on the strengthening and stability of the Indonesian economy by comparing data from before and after the merger of Islamic banks in Indonesia.

Significance. One of the understudied areas in shaping the attitude of the population towards vaccination is the impact of the content and intensity of information dissemination about vaccination via the Internet and traditional mass media. Analyzing the mass media impact in the situation of pandemics is especially relevant. The purpose of the study: to assess the impact of COVID-related information messages on the rate of population vaccination and determine specific features of the effective content. Material and methods. The material for the analysis was statistical data on the number and topic of information messages identified by online search queries in the monitoring and analysis system of mass media and social networks for the period from April 01, 2019 to April 13, 2022, the analysis of which was carried out on the basis of mathematical and linguistic analysis of texts of 81,000 open media sources. As well as information on the incidence and rate of vaccination available from the official website стопкоронавирус.рф for the same time period. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out by the method of hierarchical cluster analysis with the creation of dendrogram in the statistical package SPSS 22.00; by the method of correlation analysis with the calculation of the two-sided Pearson coefficient; during the result interpretation, only correlations at the significance level p<0.01 and the value of the correlation coefficient above 0.5 were taken into account. Results. The study shows that the parameters of vaccination considered in the article are hardly affected by the variables forming the “Neutrality Factor” cluster, and also allowed us to make a number of assumptions: the number of vaccinated is directly dependent upon the mortality rate and the volume of negative information in the media; the monthly increase in the number of vaccinated is directly related to the number of media reports with quotes from leading experts and references to statistical data, and is negatively associated with the proportion of neutral messages on the topic of the pandemic. Conclusion. The presented results made it possible to formulate priority directions for enhancing commitment of the Russian population to vaccination, increasing public confidence in vaccines, as well as directions to dramatically increase the rate of vaccination in extreme pandemic situations through intensification of the information and propaganda impact on the population. Moreover, according to the study results, such an impact, in order to be effective, must meet certain criteria. Scope of application. The study results can be used by executive authorities responsible for preserving the life and health of the citizens.

Significance. The traditional healthcare system is losing its relevance. Digital transformation of healthcare dictates new conditions to medical organizations, imposing new requirements on healthcare administrators. The purpose of the study is to analyze the attitude of heads of medical organizations in the Arkhangelsk region towards the digital model of healthcare organization. Material and methods. A sociological survey was conducted among heads of the state medical organizations in the Arkhangelsk region. The survey was conducted in the period from March 2021 to August 2022. Representatives of 46 medical organizations took part in the survey including 28 urban and 18 rural organizations. The total number of the respondents added up to 181. A semi-structured questionnaire was used as a research tool, the design was a cross-sectional study. Results. The conducted study shows that 82.3% of the healthcare administrators consider informatization of medical organizations to be successful and show a high level of confidence (95.6%) in information retrieved from medical information systems. In urban areas, the respondents noted a higher level of workplace automation (78.0%), greater need for a personal computer in everyday work (94,9%) and higher frequency of its use (96.6%), and the highest proportion of connection to the medical information system of all departments of a medical organization (94.1%). Healthcare administrators are unanimously positive about replacing the paper medical history/ outpatient records with an electronic equivalent. The main problems related to automation of a medical organization are as follows: insufficient financing of informatization in a medical organization (50.8%), requirements to duplicate electronic information in paper form (48.1%), lack of clear requirements for the implemented information systems (22.7%). Conclusion. The study of attitude of the heads of medical organizations in the Arkhangelsk region towards the digital model of healthcare organizational showed a greater readiness of urban organizations for a standard information interaction in healthcare in the region. To ensure successful work with the medical information systems, healthcare administrators need a supervised on-the-job training by a more experienced colleague. The prospects of digital transformation of healthcare for an individual medical organization are overwhelmingly defined by the electronic document flow between medical organizations.

Significance. The lack of positive dynamics in the rates of morbidity and mortality from cancer in the eastern regions of Russia in recent decades has been the basis for studying epidemiology of malignant neoplasms of the urogenital and urinary system among residents of a particular territory. The purpose of the study is to estimate the major morbidity and mortality parameters in patients with uro-oncologic pathology in the Far East (2008- 2021). Material and methods. Rates of morbidity, mortality and their derivatives, reporting forms of cancer statistics and regulatory documents of healthcare bodies have been analyzed. Results. In 2021, the average incidence rate of prostate cancer equaled to 30.92±1.75о/оооо, kidney cancer – 10.82±0.28о/оооо, and bladder cancer - 6.83±0.18 (2018: 29.81±2.05о/оооо; 10.83±0.34о/оооо; 6.97±0.19, respectively). The number of patients with stage I-II prostate cancer (+33.9%), kidney cancer (+11.3%), and bladder cancer (+14.3%) increased over the study period with a simultaneous decrease in the number of neglected forms of the disease. The share of actively detected patients increased across all tumor localizations, as well as the contingent accumulation index by the end of the year. Morphological confirmation of the diagnosis corresponded to the Russian average (prostate cancer - 96.6%, kidney cancer - 89.9%, bladder cancer - 94.4%). The share of cancer survivors for 5 and more years was lower than in Russia for prostate cancer (44.1%), kidney cancer (58.7%) and bladder cancer (56.6%), however, the mortality rate within one year after the diagnosis has improved. The average mortality rates of prostate cancer equaled to 11.80±0.20о/оооо, kidney cancer – 3.80±0.08о/оооо, and bladder cancer – 2.79±0.08о/оооо (2018: 11.60±0.19о/оооо, 3.85±0.09о/оооо, 2.89±0.07о/оооо, respectively). The quality of oncologic service activity was denoted by the index of registration reliability, which did not exceed 0.40 in the Far Eastern Federal District. Discussion. The present study has confirmed that the oncologic service of the region needs standardization of all types of medical care, improvement of material and technical facilities, provision of medical therapy departments with modern drugs against the background of the improved standard personnel policy. Conclusion. Preventive activities aimed at early cancer detection and well-organized follow-up of patients with background and precancerous conditions remain priority areas of work of medical preventive institutions in the Far East. A necessary condition for improving the situation in the region is systematic training of qualified personnel and introduction of modern diagnostic and treatment technologies into practice.

Published: May 2023

Significance. A positive assessment of life satisfaction is important for building a sense of general social well-being in the country. Meanwhile, the body mass index can be one of the factors determining this assessment. The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between the body mass index of adult Russians and their satisfaction with life based on the empirical analysis. Material and methods. The analysis is based on data of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey for 10 years (2010-2019). The object of the study was the respondents aged 18 and older, except for pregnant women. Econometric modeling was used to estimate the relationship between the body mass index and self- assessment of satisfaction with life. Results. The empirical analysis shows that life satisfaction increases until the body mass index reaches the lower threshold of morbid obesity (38 for women and 39 for men) other things being equal, and afterwards it starts to decline. Conclusions. The study results conclude that some residents of Russia with the excessive body mass index do not consider obesity as a factor decreasing their satisfaction with life. Implementation of educational activities aimed at raising public awareness about negative health consequences associated with overweight can help both to reduce the share of obese Russians, and increase self-assessment of satisfaction with life.

The aim was to research possibilities for adjusting common skin incisions in the anterior elbow so that cutaneous nerve injury may be avoided.

Methods:

The lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LABCN) and medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (MABCN) were identified in the coronal plane around the elbow joint in 10 fresh-frozen human arm specimens. Marked photographs of the specimens were analyzed using computer-assisted surgical anatomical mapping (CASAM). Common anterior surgical approaches to the elbow joint and the distal humerus were then compared with merged images, and nerve-sparing alternatives are proposed.

Results:

The arm was divided longitudinally, from medial to lateral in the coronal plane, into 4 quarters. The LABCN crossed the central-lateral quarter of the interepicondylar line (i.e., was somewhat lateral to the midline at the level of the elbow crease) in 9 of 10 specimens. The MABCN ran medial to the basilic vein and crossed the most medial quarter of the interepicondylar line. Thus, 2 of the quarters were either free of cutaneous nerves (the most lateral quarter) or contained a distal cutaneous branch in only 1 of 10 specimens (the central-medial quarter).

Conclusions:

The Boyd-Anderson approach, which is often used to access anteromedial structures of the elbow, should be placed slightly further medially than traditionally advised. The distal part of the Henry approach should deviate laterally, so that it runs over the mobile wad. In distal biceps tendon surgery, the risk of cutaneous nerve injury may be reduced if a single distal incision is placed slightly more laterally (in the most lateral quarter), as in the modified Henry approach. If proximal extension is required, LABCN injury may be prevented by using the modified Boyd-Anderson incision, which runs in the central-medial quarter.

Clinical Relevance:

Cutaneous nerve injury may be prevented by slightly altering the commonly used skin incisions around the elbow on the basis of the safe zones that were identified by depicting the cumulative course of the MABCN and LABCN using CASAM.

Background:

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has long been considered the definitive treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Although tremendous improvements have been made in surgical techniques for conventional TKA, a substantial dissatisfaction rate among patients has persisted because of moderate-to-severe pain and stiffness following TKA. Robot-assisted TKA was developed as an alternative to conventional TKA with the goal of improving operative precision and producing better clinical outcomes with minimal postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to compare the radiographic outcomes, duration of surgery, and complication rate between robot-assisted TKA and conventional TKA.

Methods:

We conducted relevant literature searches of Medline, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Cochrane Library databases with use of specific keywords. The outcomes for continuous variables were pooled into mean differences, whereas the outcomes for dichotomous variables were pooled into odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals with use of random-effects models.

Results:

A total of 12 randomized clinical trials were included. Our pooled analysis revealed that robot-assisted TKA was associated with fewer outliers in the hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle (p < 0.0001), femoral component (coronal) angle (p = 0.0006), femoral component (sagittal) angle (p = 0.009), tibial component (coronal) angle (p = 0.05), and tibial component (sagittal) angle (p = 0.01) when compared with conventional TKA. The postoperative HKA angle was also significantly more neutral in the robot-assisted TKA group (mean difference, −0.77°; p < 0.0001). However, the complication rate did not differ significantly between the 2 groups.

Conclusions:

Robot-assisted TKA may produce more accurate placement of the prosthetic component and better joint alignment accuracy than conventional TKA as shown by fewer outliers in several joint angles.

The purpose of this study to determine the effect of the application of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) on financial performance as measured by the ratio of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non Performing Financing (NPF), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Net Income Margin (NIM), Financing Deposits ratio (FDR), and the ratio of Operating Expenses and Operating Income (ROA) at the Islamic Banks. The study population was the whole Islamic Banks that have implemented GCG according to the rules of Bank Indonesia. This research is associative to see the relationship between the variables of one another. The data used are secondary data from the annual report and corporate governance report published by respectively Islamic Banks 2010-2016 period. Samples collected are 10 Islamic banks by the number N = 60. The results showed that the application of GCG is based on data collected had an average of 1:55 to 2:20 that enter into the category of "Good". This means that the quality of GCG implementation in accordance with the BUS 11 indicators that have been set by Bank Indonesia. The results of the t test (partial test) showed that the quality of GCG implementation significant positive effect on the CAR, NPF and ROA. The quality of GCG implementation negatively affects the ROA and ROE significantly. While the statistical test results apparently GCG implementation does not affect the performance ratio of NIM and FDR.

Aceh is noted to have extensive waqf land spread over 16,560 districts and cities with an area of ​​8,902.33 ha. Unfortunately, Aceh's waqf resources are relatively passive and have not been utilized optimally. Aceh even ranks as the poorest province in Sumatra, according to a release issued by BPS in 2020. Various waqf problems make the existing potential not adequately managed, even though if optimized, the benefits will be huge for the people of Aceh. For this reason, this study aims to investigate further waqf in Aceh Province so that it can be more optimal in its management and help improve the economy of the Acehnese people. This study uses a qualitative method where the data comes from a literature study obtained from good books, journals, articles, and websites. The results of this study indicate that the optimization of waqf in Aceh can work if stakeholders can improve overall community literacy, certify waqf land, provide guidance to waqf nadzir and make institutional improvements. With the advancement of these four things, it is believed that the potential of waqf in Aceh can be optimized and more productive to bring economic change to the people of Aceh.
