Developing A Board Game-Based Supplementary Learning Material Prototype for Accounting

2024-03-08T16:10:05+07:00

The most effective approach for educators is to provide students with the knowledge and enhance their motivation to study, employ diverse pedagogical approaches shifted away from one-way teaching approaches, and prioritized students’ needs by encompassing innovation tools such as the utilization of board games. This research aims to develop a prototype of an interactive board game as a supplementary tool for learning accounting. The game focuses on preparing financial reports and is designed to provide a practical learning experience in the field of business. This research utilized the waterfall model in research and development (R&D). Prototyping consists of communication, planning, design, construction, and distribution stages. During the communication stage, user requirements are elucidated through interviews with prospective users, observations of business practices, and examinations of relevant literature. Preliminary interview findings from culinary entrepreneurs indicate the challenges in preparing financial statements, which hinder their ability to communicate business performance and secure finances. The user's needs have been determined, and specific activities, timelines, resources, and budgets are set. The research employed an iterative prototyping approach in the prototype design process, wherein a sequence of tests is conducted consecutively to refine the prototype. In the production phase, the prototype is tested and assessed based on comments obtained during playtest sessions, with results satisfying testimonials. The advice received from students about the time limitation of the games was because of the complexity of accounting transactions, and then the games were modified by providing the spreadsheet version of the journal form that can be accessed from the barcode. This instructional tool was developed to enhance the efficacy of learning techniques, particularly in comprehending and mastering the accounting process, whether pursued individually or in a collaborative setting; hence, for the next research, we can transform this game into digital games to make it more interesting.

Analysis of Geometry Units in the Mathematics Curriculum of Cambodia from the Perspective of Coherence

2024-03-23T22:30:23+07:00

This study aims to analyse the units in the Cambodian mathematics curriculum on geometry from the perspective of coherence. Four of the recently revised mathematics syllabi of primary and secondary education in Cambodia published in 2018, the latest version available during the research period of 2022-2023, have been collected. The document analysis following the procedure of General Topic Trace Mapping (GTTM) was used because it embraces curriculum coherence. The results of the analysis revealed that the Cambodian mathematics curriculum on geometry lacks coherence in terms of the four points: (1) the relations of the subdomains and contents are not well-organised and unnecessarily repetitive; (2) the contents and sub-contents are poorly ordered and are not age-appropriate, due to some contents are addressed as a prerequisite and other contents have a higher level than the student’s grade level; (3) the relations of some contents, sub-contents, and their learning outcomes are not clearly specified, as through a lack of logical or conceptual connections within and across years; and (4) the domains, sub-domains, contents, sub-contents, and learning outcomes are not clearly related nor sequenced. These four points indicate the importance and necessity of improving the coherence of geometry units in Cambodia’s mathematics curriculum. This analysis focused on the content relation aspect among three internal coherence aspects. Further research should be done on the two other aspects of internal coherence, structural and pedagogical, as well as external curriculum coherence. Analysis of all these aspects will contribute to the holistic improvement of the curriculum.

Planning Evacuation Routes as Tsunami Disaster Mitigation in Coastal Makassar City

2024-12-04T10:55:26+07:00

The recent series of earthquakes can trigger tsunamis. Coastal areas are highly dynamic and therefore potentially subject to tsunami threats. Makassar City is a coastal area. Therefore, Makassar City is vulnerable to hit by tsunami, as the increasing stress at the ends of the active plates around Sulawesi Island, which increases the potential for seabed earthquakes, which in turn can cause tsunamis. The absence of a tsunami disaster mitigation concept in the southern coastal area of Makassar city increases the chances of huge losses in the event of a tsunami. The purpose of this research is to map the tsunami disaster mitigation in the southern coastal area of Makassar City. The research method is observational spatial data input and direct observation in the field. All coordinate data and the latest earthquake became the main input in the SiTProS program, while spatial data used ArcGIS Map. The research study area is from The Rinra Hotel (Phinisi Point Mall) to Barombong Stadium. The path along this route will be the location of the proposed Temporary Evacuation Site (TES) route, with the scenario that there are 15 building units that are higher than the maximum wave height at the coastline of 4.29 meters that can be recommended for vertical evacuation. The simulated tsunami propagation time to reach a tsunami detection device (buoy) was 30.586 minutes after a potential tsunami occurred in the Sulawesi Sea at an earthquake of 5.8 SR, and the time to reach the coastline was at 41.44 minutes. The best shortest path for evacuation during a tsunami is away from the Barombong bridge and the Jeneberang River estuary. This study concluded three evacuation routes, namely: (I) the route after Barombong bridge towards the south up to Barombong Stadium; (II) the route after Barombong bridge towards the north up to the bridge after GTC Mall; (III) the route from CPI towards the south up to the bridge before GTC Mall (Danau Tanjung Bunga road). In these evacuation routes, the ones that can be used as alternative routes are route I and route III because they go beyond the coastal boundary. Meanwhile, route II is not recommended as it exceeds the coastal boundary.

Analyzing Coastline Erosion to Save the Coastal Environment in Makassar

2024-12-06T18:35:59+07:00

Due to the degradation of the beach, the sea level is approaching some of the buildings on Layar Putih beach. Tugu Layar Putih, which used to be accessible on foot, has been submerged. The condition of the beach looks damaged, especially at Tanjung Layar Putih, which is currently unattended and abandoned. This has a negative impact on the environment and can lead to flooding. The area from Tanjung Bunga Metro to Losari Beach is also experiencing high sedimentation. The high sedimentation is caused by the deposition of sediment carried by river currents in the area of the Jeneberang River estuary, as well as the presence of sea currents at the mouth of the river in sufficient volume. A sediment transport capacity that is not in balance with the supply is the process of beach retreat. This process is known as coastal erosion and causes changes in coastal morphology in addition to abrasion and estuarine sedimentation (accretion). While the coastal area of Makassar City is one of the beach tourist attraction areas located in Makassar City. The purpose of the study was to determine the causes of coastal erosion in order to find strategies to save the coastal environment in Makassar in order to prevent further coastal damage. The research methodology analyses beach typology, waves and sediments. The results of the study were obtained coastal sediment type clay type which has a high cohesion value, the wave direction is generally from the West and North towards the South, the most frequent wave height that can be analyzed by STWave CEDAS Genesis 4.03 Numerical Modelling for 10 years of modelling is 1.64 meters, the dynamics of shoreline change is quite balanced between erosion and accretion, the average wave period is 4.599 seconds, the sediment deposition rate is 1.66 cm/sec and sediment transport is 54,975,398.47 meter3/year. The sediment deposition rate is in a transitional (intermediate) condition so that sediment transport does not experience a significant decrease in transport. The conclusion from this study is that the beach tends to have more potential for sedimentation (accretion) than erosion (abrasion), due to the type of sediment and the construction of buildings on reclaimed land in the northern part of the study site.

2024-12-03T12:31:12+07:00

This study aims to determine the moderating effect of the Big Five personality domain of extraversion on the relationship between pedagogical competence and teacher performance. The research seeks to examine the contribution of the extraversion variable in the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The subjects of this study are kindergarten teachers with two years of work experience in Semarang. This research is quantitative in nature, employing a correlational research design. Data collection was conducted through a Google Form questionnaire. The data analysis technique utilized descriptive analysis and fulfilled classical assumption tests, including Normality Test and Hypothesis Test. The results yielded a significance value of 0.000 and a beta value of 0.754 from the correlation test between pedagogical competence and teacher performance, indicating a strong relationship between these variables. After incorporating the moderator variable of extraversion into the correlation, the interaction coefficient obtained was (-0.039), leading to the conclusion that extraversion weakens the relationship between pedagogical competence and teacher performance. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that higher levels of extraversion among teachers may weaken their pedagogical competence, consequently affecting their performance.

Analysis of Service Recovery, Behavioral Outcome and Recovery Paradox for Telkomsel Customers

2024-12-05T12:46:58+07:00

Customer satisfaction is crucial to the success of a business. Service recovery is a response to errors committed by the firm that adversely affect the relationship between the company and the client. Customer perceptions of service recovery are explained in perceived justice in procedural justice, interactional justice, and distributive justice so that it can be seen directly in its influence on behavioral outcomes, namely trust, WOM (Word of Mouth), and loyalty. All of these elements can measure customer satisfaction with the products and services provided by Telkomsel. So, after researching 137 Telkomsel respondents, it was found that service recovery significantly influenced three perceived justice, namely procedural justice, interactional justice, and distributive justice, on complainant satisfaction. Where procedural justice contributes the most to complainant satisfaction with service recovery, while distributive justice contributes enough to implement service recovery, other than distributive justice only contributes a little. For behavioral outcomes on complainants who get service recovery, they tend to do WOM compared to having trust and loyalty. Meanwhile, the behavioral outcome of satisfied complainants has a higher trust than that of dissatisfied complainants. Dissatisfied complainants tend to do WOM compared to satisfied complainants. The behavioral outcome of satisfied complainants is much higher than the trust of satisfied complainants. This point indicates a recovery paradox. Meanwhile, WOM and loyalty in satisfied complainants and satisfied non-complainants have values that are not too different. From this research, the author assesses from the view of Telkomsel customers that service recovery is successful if the beginning of the system stage (procedural justice) is done correctly. Meanwhile, excellent handling of service recovery implementation maintains the company's image from the impact of negative WOM. Moreover, there are indications of a recovery paradox, indicating that Telkomsel still has opportunities to increase customer satisfaction. Service to customers who complain must be maintained to help determine customers' ever-changing needs and assess the company's performance so far.
