/in /by

Poverty is a condition in which individuals or groups lack sufficient resources to meet their basic needs. It is a fundamental issue that can affect the economic growth rate of a region. This study aims to analyze the influence of labor force absorption, percentage of computer users, telecommunications consumption, and education level on the number of poor people in the provinces of Kalimantan Island from 2018 to 2022 using panel data regression analysis. The results from the selected Fixed Effects model indicate that telecommunications consumption has a positive impact on the number of poor people, while the education level has a negative impact on the number of poor people. However, labor force absorption and the percentage of computer users do not significantly influence the number of poor people. Based on the research findings, it is hoped that the government can create an extensive telecommunications network. The expectation is that communication facilities and infrastructure will be widely available, leading to reduced telecommunications expenses for the population, allowing them to allocate their money towards daily essential needs. Additionally, adequate communication facilities are expected to aid the teaching and learning process in Kalimantan Island, as the improvement in educational quality has proven to decrease the poverty rate during the research period.

 

Balancing Teacher–Led And Student–Led Activities When Teaching Foreign Languages to Students at Uzbekistan’s State Conservatory

/in /by

This paper will look at the issue of implementing new work methods in English classes at the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan. Recently, there has been a lot of debate on whether to switch to a student–centered method or stick with the traditional model, in which the teacher entirely controls the process. There has been the need to employ innovative ways for motivating students and monitoring learning activities in the process of learning foreign languages in the digital educational environment. The paper argues that most students, regardless of their level, prefer cooperative learning and value teacher assistance. The forms of education that students select are determined by their attitude toward the learning process. The combined learning process allows language learners to cooperate with their teacher and fellow students, resulting in changes in the connection between teachers and students in which students’ personal interests and professional aspirations are taken into account. In the case of teaching conservatory students, it was discovered that student–centered training was less beneficial for those of students that just starting to learn English language as well as for the students at an intermediate level, but showed good results for the students approaching a more advanced level of understanding.

This type of descriptive-analytical research has a population of 1614 mothers under two and a sample of 188 mothers under two. The research results were the effect of parenting style on the incidence of stunting in children aged 0-23 months (p-value=0.022), parenting health, and sanitation parenting patterns on the incidence of stunting in children aged 0-23 months (p- value = 0.000). The most influential factor is the factor of healthy parenting (p-value = 0.001). This study concludes that the mother’s parenting style influences the incidence of stunting in children aged 0-23 months in Gorontalo Regency, with the most dominant influencing factor, namely health parenting factors.

Outcome-Based Management of Educational Institutions: A Concept Analysis on the Sociological Dimension of Educational Leadership

/in /by

Aim: The purpose of this concept analysis of outcomes-based management is to bring clarity to the meaning of this term by examining the various ways it is used in education and even in business and other disciplines. Clarifying what is meant by outcome-based management would help those in the academe communicate with each other and with learners about quality educational leadership and management. Clarification of the concept would also help guide management initiatives and development goals related to improving educational quality. This clarification is accomplished after looking in the literature at the many ways that the term has been used.

Background: In the field of education, in the new normal era, it is relevant to focus institutional development around established and recognized outcomes that are accepted by all stakeholders.

Introduction: In the field of education and educational institutions, there’s only a limited set of evidence to support the attributes of outcome-based management in educational institutions.

Methods: Walker and Avant’s (2011) approach of concept analysis was used.

Results: The main attributes of outcome-based management are (1) An approach in management focusing on outcomes or end results instead of process, (2) A management style that discourages micromanaging and instead fosters a more collaborative work environment, accountability, autonomy, flexibility, and creativity that prioritizes the end result, and (3) An approach to achieve holistic and sustainable development of community/business. These attributes are influenced by antecedents of outcome-based management, which provided overall evidence of the categories or variables namely the (1) specific and measurable outcomes, (2) the commitment of the management or administration towards achieving the set outcomes, (3) standardizing evaluation and assessment that determine whether outcomes are achieved or not, and (4) commitment of the employees and other internal stakeholders to fulfill activities that help achieve the outcomes – all that significantly comprise outcome-based management. Additionally, the consequences of outcome-based management have a significant impact on both internal and external stakeholders and institutional resources.

Discussion: This study integrated both the content and process of literature reviews to generate the attributes of outcome-based management in education that overcome the limitation of the previous related studies and articles, which looked only at the definitions of outcome-based management based on content and process concepts.

Conclusion and Implication to Education: The findings of this study can facilitate both educational and business researchers to develop a conceptual adaption instrument to improve educational leadership and management. This analysis provides educational managers with a new perspective to deal with institutional development and planning by taking into account all the attributes that influence it in the field of education.
