This study aims at producing an assessment instrument of the PISA model to measure students’ problem-solving skills and scientific literacy in junior high schools that are valid, practical, and having potential effects. This research employed the design of development studies. The analysis used the Item Response Theory (IRT) Rasch model based on the junior high school students' responses to the developed PISA assessment instrument on natural science subjects. The result of this study was a test set of PISA model for the material of Vibration, Wave, and Sound consisting of 40 items. The test was valid in terms of content, constructs, and language according to the expert assessment, and practical based on small group trials. It also had a potential effect based on the students’ answers and questionnaires results in the field test. The qualitative analysis showed that the developed test had several potential effects, i.e. the development of students' problem-solving skills and scientific literacy so that they gained a relatively high ability to solve a test with the PISA model. The results of quantitative analysis through field test trials showed that there was a significant effect from the application of the PISA model test to enhance students’ scientific literacy and problem-solving skills in the junior high school with the Sig. value of 0.000 which was less than the significance level of 0.05 (α = 5%).
The current cross‐cultural study examined the construct of workaholism across European and Asian cultures during the pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). A total of 2,617 recipients, aged 18–80 years from three Asian countries (China, India, and Indonesia) with higher levels of collectivistic values, and three European countries (Bulgaria, Germany, and Hungary) supposing to have higher individualistic values. The participants completed the online version of the two‐dimensional measure, dubbed the Dutch Workaholism Scale (DUWAS). The goal of the study was to demonstrate that during the COVID‐19 pandemic, it is the cultural context that mediates and influences the way of change in workaholics' attitudes. The results led to the conclusion that the way in which the COVID‐19 crisis affects workaholism and workaholics' behavior depends on cultural and sex differences, and stages of the human life cycle. The data analysis revealed that cultural differences and sex affect the configuration of workaholism (excessive/compulsive): in the Asian sample, unlike the European, there was a significant increase in the level of workaholism compulsive; European female participants reported higher levels of workaholism compulsive and workaholism excessive, but the sex difference was not found in Asian sample. Along with cultural context, and sex differences, age also influences the configuration of workaholism. In this case, the separate stages of the human life cycle contribute in different ways to changes in levels of workaholism excessive and workaholism compulsive.
This research aims at analysing the effect of the Virtual Laboratory (VL) to improve science literacy and problemsolving skills among junior high school students. This research employed a Quasi-experiment with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population in this research was the seventh-grade students of junior high school in the Special Region of Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2019/2020. The sample was selected through a cluster random sampling technique and taken the control and the experimental class comprehensively from three school clusters (high, medium, and low) in each district/ city. The data analysis technique used the N-Gain analysis, prerequisite test, and hypothesis testing consisting of MANOVA and effect size. Based on the MANOVA test, it was found that there was a difference in the escalation of students' scientific literacy and problem-solving skills between the control and the experimental class. Meanwhile, based on the calculation of the effect size, it was found that the effect of the Virtual Laboratory was quite high (effect size = 0.897) on the increase in scientific literacy and high effect (effect size = 1.027) on the increase of problem-solving skills, respectively, among junior high school students.
The tourism development program in Indonesia is not central but decentralized so that each autonomous region has the authority to determine the direction of policies and strategies for developing tourism potential in their respective areas. In the context of the Morotai Islands regency, an integrated regional tourism information system has not been designed to control and synchronize stakeholders' interests and optimize the marketing of regional tourist destinations. Considering this, this study offers the Ward and Peppard framework for the strategic design of Sistem Informasi Pariwisata Daerah (SIPARDA) as a website-based application that can be used for data collection and monitoring of regional tourism resources as well as tourism destination development programs in Morotai Island Regency. This study shows that the identification of external and internal conditions of the business environment is not limited to the Value Chain approach and Porter's Five Forces Model but also the Tourism Area Life Cycle and Irritation Index to understand the context of regional tourism-related to tourism resources both attractions, accommodation, amenities, and accessibility, as well as the level of acceptance of the Morotai people towards tourism development programs. Furthermore, identifying the current internal and external conditions of information systems or information technology in the portfolio application is analyzed based on Strenght, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) to provide recommendations for future application portfolios. The results of this study recommend the Regional Tourism Information System known as Sistem Informasi Pariwisata Daerah (SIPARDA) as a portfolio future application that needs to be prioritized to optimize the function of monitoring tourism development in the Morotai Island Regency.
Despite the burgeoning amount of tourism recovery research, there is a dearth of studies that explore communal coping. To address this gap, this study examined the communal coping of a tourism‐reliant community in Indonesia that was destroyed by a tsunami using the Participatory Research Action (PAR) paradigm. It employs Photovoice augmented with mobile data collection using Survey123 from ESRI. The findings identified three phases of communal coping: losing the daily routine, reviving routines, and living with new routines. Each of these was found to be pivotal to destination resilience building. This study offers a novel way to examine disaster experiences.
