Jakarta as the capital city is viewed as the barometer of every city in Indonesia. The city preparedness to face VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) caused by Covid-19 pandemic is also in the national spotlight. One of the main solutions to face VUCA is Computational Thinking (CT). CT provides the ability to approach VUCA characteristics by systematically ingraining abstraction, algorithmic thinking, decomposition, and pattern recognition in mind. For this reason, Jakarta plans to disseminate this concept to students as early as possible, namely by embedding CT to every subject in primary and secondary schools. The activity began with online CT socialization, which was attended by 1,761 teachers, of which 238 via Google Meet and 1,523 via live streaming. In this activity we also distributed questionnaires to 258 elementary and junior high school teachers spread across 41 sub-districts of 44 sub-districts in Jakarta. The result is that 93.8% of teachers in Jakarta do not understand CT, excitingly 69.4% of teachers wish to teach CT in the subjects they can afford even though it is not compulsory, but if it is obligatory then all teachers will implement it.
Computational thinking merupakan suatu metode pemecahan masalah secara terstruktur dan sistematis yang menerapkan cara kerja sistem komputasi. Salah satu bentuk evaluasi pemahaman siswa terhadap metode tersebut adalah melalui tantangan bebras. Tantangan bebras adalah kompetisi yang diadakan oleh Bebras Indonesia dan berisi persoalan yang menuntut siswa untuk menyelesaikannya dengan menerapkan konsep informatika dan computational thinking. Universitas Paramadina merupakan salah satu biro yang berperan dalam menyiapkan peserta untuk mengikuti kompetisi tersebut. Biasanya, Universitas Paramadina akan memberikan pelatihan kepada calon peserta yang tergabung didalamnya mengenai konsep computational thinking dan melakukan simulasi pelaksanaan tantangan bebras. Salah satu fokus peserta pelatihan tersebut adalah siswa SD yang terdiri dari tingkat Sikecil atau kelas 1-3 dan Siaga atau kelas 4-6. Selain karena pesertanya cukup banyak, juga sangat penting untuk mengajarkan konsep computational thinking pada anak sejak dini. Pada pelaksanaan Tantangan Bebras 2022, Universitas Paramadina akan meningkatkan prestasi siswa yang tergabung dalam biro tersebut.
The real research strength of an institution is important for establishing research priorities and developing an institutional research plan. It can also be used as a basis for SWOT analysis, developing vision-mission of an institution and also useful for research funder in distributing their research grants. Unfortunately, there was only a small number of researches found. In this article, we proposed a new method to quantify the quality of research outputs. The method is suitable for measuring research strength. We applied the method to an institution using research articles downloaded from a reputable document database/index. The results were research strength map in 27 subject areas and 337 subject categories.
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.
