The incidence of natural disasters has an impact on various sectors of life, including the education sector. Schools as educational facilities are considered vulnerable areas that need handling steps to reduce disaster risk. As one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters, Indonesia already has several policies and programs from the government to address these problems. However, several studies have shown that the implementation did not go according to plan. These studies also reveal that this implementation lies in the local context in which the program or policy is implemented. That is why the study aims to examine the school disaster preparedness implementation in the Mount Sinabung area as one of the disaster-prone areas in Indonesia. This research utilizes the Interpretative Structural Modeling approach to build a hierarchy and classification of obstacles in implementing school disaster preparedness around that area. Data are collected through a combination of observation, interview, and survey techniques in 2017 and 2018 that involved a total of 35 participants. The result showed 14 sub-elements identified as limiting factors of school preparedness implementation in the Mount Sinabung area. Three elements serve as the first level (or the basis/key element) of the obstacles hierarchy: Integration of subject, school policy, and school curriculum. Intervention at the base level will trigger changes and give impact the other upper-four levels of elements. This hierarchy and classification are relevant to the context of the Mount Sinabung eruption and cannot be applied in other areas. This research did not measure the numeric data per sub-element in disaster preparedness. Therefore, the limitations of this study can be directions for future research to examine the implementation in another area by using numeric data. The results of this study also provide major recommendations to several stakeholders. The existing policies regarding school disaster preparedness and their implementation need to be reviewed to improve the result.
This study aims to test and validate the FASER LX Scale, an instrument developed to measure e-learning learner experience. Online survey to 365 respondents selected randomly form Komunitas Guru Belajar, a virtual learning community in Indonesia was applied. Statistical analysis was firstly performed by optimizing Confirmatory Factor Analysis to confirm the compatibility between factor structure from existing data and its model specification as proposed in the previous research. Result of CFA showed that model fit criterion is failed to achieve. So, the five dimensions model of learner experience cannot be confirmed. Thus, an additional EFA was conducted to find the underlying factor structure in the existing data. EFA revealed a 32-item, 5-factor structure solution which proven to be valid and reliable. Further analysis of this finding stated that this instrument successfully explained 61,239% of total variance. This study recommends the use of this instrument to measure learner experience in order to evaluate e-learning program as one of the alternative way to support SDGs good education mission.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
