Mastering the listening skill is considered to be difficult by L2 learners because lack of practice opportunities and impracticality of text-books for enhancing the listening skill. One of the relatively recent methods in teaching the listening skill is using the teaching media. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a different method, use of Prezi online software as a learning-teaching material to improve the listening skill of the students in a German language department in Indonesia. This mixed-methods study last for six months and employed 26 participants. This study used the theory by Richey and Klein (2009) which explains that there are three stages in the teaching material development model; namely design, production, and evaluation. In the design phase, the students' needs for listening learning were identified. The need which stood out was the need for more attractive teaching media. Next, in the production stage, a product was created based on the students' needs. At this stage, learning media with Prezi online software were developed. In the last phase, the specifications of the product were evaluated. The results of the study showed that Prezi online software was well-accepted and very well-applied by the students. The students preferred this method to books. Moreover, it was observed that using this method improves the students' listening skill who study the German language. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

This qualitative study on the Finnish basic education curriculum (2016) had two goals. First, to survey the origins of first two new curriculum competences: 1) thinking and learning to learn, and, 2) cultural competences. Second, to analyse the local curricular implementation and comprehension in a rapid socio-cultural change. To reveal the possible data trends, two research questions were addressed: 1. What was the background of first two 2016 transversal core competencies? 2. How were those competencies implemented into a local curriculum 2016-19? The Data included basic education curricula (1985-2016), and a local curriculum. Relevant legislation, official information (e.g. PISA), parental feedback, and a questionnaire to an anonymous implementing principal comprised the curricular data. The Data triangulation was completed with a wide range of educational, cultural and ideological research. Regarding ethics, the individual sources and educational provider remained anonymous. Findings were surprising. &quot;Modern&quot; thinking and learning skills were created in early 20th century American society by Deweyan comprehension. However, an immigration had changed the long-lasting interpretation on the origins of Finnish culture. Moreover, local curriculum implementation was more successfully comprehended and supported. Conclusions were obvious: more identifiable research and teachers' training were needed for curricular reforms and competences. The socio-cultural comprehension in the era of AI asked for sound arguments.

The importance of this study is to contribute to the development of curriculums and materials to be prepared for Turkish course in order to serve the needs of the era by creating a critical listening attainment list from the philosophy of the national curriculum and from the education programs of countries which are considered successful internationally. In the literature, there have been very few studies on critical listening skills. In addition, in the educational programs of the countries, there is a lack of achievements in listening skills, especially in critical listening skills. Besides, there is no mention of exams that measure critical listening skills. It is stated in the literature that reading and listening skills are understanding-based skills that serve the same purpose. Therefore, in this study, the attainments of the countries towards reading skills were examined and adapted to listening skills. A draft form was created on the basis of opinions of the experts in the field and a critical listening attainment list was created. It is believed that the &quot;Critical Listening Attainment Framework&quot;, which was created with the aim of improving students' critical listening skills, will contribute to the field of education.

The rising number and cost of cybersecurity attacks justifies continued strong interest in the National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) jointly sponsored program for National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD). After briefly outlining the current state of the cybersecurity challenge, this article describes our recent experience in successfully applying for designation as a CAE in 2018 and looks ahead to the considerable program changes in effect with the 2019 CAE-CD application. Those seeking CAE re-designation will be interested to know that there is an estimated 19% increase in required mappings as the previous mandatory Knowledge Units (KU) are replaced with the new foundational + technical core KU path. And, with the creation of a new non-technical path, an institution interested in adding that path will find 35% of the required mapping work will be new.

The time-span of completing the minor thesis in Indonesian undergraduate programs has been one of the significant issues in higher education accreditation and quality insurance. Therefore, it is important to assess the possible determinants such as gender, research approach, and type of research, which might effect the students' completion period of minor thesis (&quot;Skripsi&quot;). This study used quantitative approach and involved 719 university students. The data was collected from the Faculty database from 2014 to 2017 and Mann Whitney U test and Crosstab analysis were applied to analyze the data. The result of this study showed that gender and research approach did not significantly contribute to the students' minor thesis completion period. Additionally, students who chose independent research, as their type of research, were able to finish their &quot;Skripsi&quot; faster than those who conducted joint research.

Current trend in education has acknowledged the urgency to move students from the role of traditional receiver and echoer of information to the role of critical listener, speaker, reader, and writer. In so doing, the students need to embrace the role of text analysts who continuously question texts that they encounter. This study looked for indices of students' engagement in text analyst role. The data for the analysis were collected from 25 EFL university students' reviews which were randomly selected. Using the guidepost developed from Luke and Freebody's (1999) Four Resources Framework, the study highlighted points of information and/or questions or issues addressed in the students' writing which indicated students' role as text analysts. The study revealed that 40 percent of the students failed to practice the text analyst role. Meanwhile, those who addressed the role showcased five major patterns of indices: (1) questioned the trustworthiness of text, (2) recognized bias, (3) uncovered hidden intention/agenda, (4) identified harmed/benefitted party, and (5) provided alternate point of view/way of saying and/or personal standing. This study concludes that the students will be able to engage in text analyst role under two conditions (1) they are not struggling with the basic comprehension and (2) they have reached a state of habituation of mind in terms of questioning text. It is therefore recommended that the students be given sufficient time for familiarization and have continuous practices to make a critical approach to texts.

Using drama as an awareness creation tool, this study examined the influence of gender, age, class, socio-economic status, parent's level of education and religion on adolescents' attitude towards schooling. A total of 300 (150 JSS and 150 SS2) students (males=153; females=147) randomly selected from six coeducational secondary schools in Ibadan constituted the sample for the study. The adopted Attitude toward Education Scale by Glassey (1945) and Socioeconomic Status Scale by Salami (2015)were used to collect the data. The results indicated that positive significant relationship existed between the adolescents' attitude towards schooling and gender, age, socioeconomic status, parent's (father's) level of education and religion but not with class which is negative. The results indicate the need to include the students' parental and personal-social factors when counselling students through drama and performances that show students and parents' negative attitude toward schooling.

Subjects: Undergraduate Students,Student Attitudes,Privacy,Information Security,Computer Security,Social Media,Risk,Knowledge Level

This paper describes a study designed to collect student perceptions of personal social media risks and their knowledge of the use of privacy and security settings in social media applications. A paper-based survey was administered to 107 students at a regional campus of a major university in western Pennsylvania, representing 10 classes and 18 different academic majors. The findings suggest that students are aware of privacy and security risks in the use of social media platforms and do value and suggest additional training in this domain. This paper explores a new concept of a maturity model for the instruction of social media risks based on different levels of sophistication from simple account settings to advanced concepts of personal brand management. Future research is suggested in validating the social media, risk awareness and countermeasure maturity model (SMRA-CMM).

People starting cybersecurity careers have three main avenues for achieving entry-level job qualifications: learning in-demand skills, earning industry certifications, and graduating with a college degree. Though people can pursue skills, certificates, and degrees together, financial and time constraints often make people focus their efforts to what they feel would help them most in their careers. Those seeking careers in information systems are reasonably asking themselves if the cost of a college degree is a worthwhile investment. In this paper, we analyze 11,938 entry-level job postings for cybersecurity jobs on Dice.com to determine required and desired qualifications. The results show that 7,177 (60%) of entry-level cybersecurity jobs require a college degree in a related field. Of those, 2,851 (24% of jobs) prefer a graduate degree. 3,406 (29% of jobs) require a certification. Structured query language (SQL), testing, Java, Excel, Oracle, consulting, and database skills are listed in 16% of jobs. The most popular certifications are &quot;Certified Information Systems Security Professional CISSP&quot; (listed in 4.8% of jobs), &quot;Information Technology Infrastructure Library ITIL&quot; (listed in 3.9% of jobs), &quot;Security+&quot; (listed in 2.9% of jobs), &quot;Project Management Professional PMP&quot; (listed in 2.8% of jobs) and &quot;Information Assurance Technical IAT&quot; (listed in 2.4% of jobs). The selected snapshot data show that college degrees are required for 60% of jobs--evidence that college degrees are still in high demand for the field of cybersecurity. However, employers are also looking for certifications and skills.

Education is the core of the factors that improved people for a better lifestyle and increases the level of society' development. Quality education is one of the most vital goals of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to actualizing these factors. Using relational network data envelopment analysis (DEA), which have three interrelated substages, this current paper computes the educational economy efficiency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries bearing in mind the characteristics related to SDGs. The contribution of our study is the use of a novel approach to computing the educational economy efficiency using relational network DEA with GAMS. Even though some interesting differences reveal in the efficiency of the countries, the findings show that countries with high-efficiency scores are clustered around countries like Latvia, Slovenia, and Korea.
