“…Today society needs mobile teachers who continue to learn and improve their personal and professional qualities where teachers learn independently and self-assess because the knowledge and skills acquired at the university are insufficient to solve dynamic school problems (Pasternatskyi et al, 2022). The results of this study also confirmed that learning and self-assessment are transitions in education that cannot be avoided (Groen, Bijsmans, & Adriaensen, 2020). Currently, the application has not distinguished the aspects of self-efficacy and outcome expectancy due to limitations in calculating using certainty factors.…”

Research on the design of an expert system to diagnose Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Beliefs (MTEB) using the Certainty Factor method was the first to be developed. The MTEB instrument was first initiated by Enoch and transformed into an expert system application using the paradigm of modified waterfall software development to sequential or sequential testing steps, ranging from analysis, design, coding, and testing. Data calculation and analysis using the certainty factor method assumes the user's choice is not exact and is at a certain interval. The weighting of expert values from MTEB items is carried out by two experts in the field of mathematics education. Meanwhile, the weight of user consultation uses five approval options, namely strongly agree, agree, simply agree, disagree, and disagree, successively represented by -0.2, -0.1, 0, 0.1, and 0.2. The results of the study gave success to each page of the diagnosis application, and the accuracy rate of the MTEB diagnosis was about 98%. The implication of this research is recommendations for related stakeholders to be followed up so that the MTEB of mathematics teachers becomes even better.

“…We referred to the WHO guideline on translating and adapting an instrument. 16 The authors had acquired permission to use the instrument from Groen et al 1 Ethical clearance was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee at Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia. The WHO process consists of five stages: 1) forward translation, 2)…”

“…The details of the component correlation matrix are presented in Table 2. This paper described the cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric testing process of the Indonesian version of Generic Skills Self-Assessment for Medical Students that was proposed by Groen et al 1 Initially, we meant to only translate the instrument into Bahasa Indonesia to keep the meaning of each item as close as possible to the original instrument as well as to simplify the process. Most of the changes we made during translation included simplifying the English terms and expressions.…”

“…The items were all phrased in positive sentences-which may impact the questionnaire's applicability in a broader learning setting as well as rendering its construct validity due to the risk of response bias. The generic skills self-assessment instrument proposed by Groen et al (2020) keeps most of the original statements while adding new items to assess soft skills beyond the PBL context, along with mixing negative phrase statements to stimulate students to be more critical in assessing their skills in hope to reduce the risk of response bias. The revised instrument consists of 33 statements referring to specific generic skills, each is scored using a 5-Likert scale.…”

Background: There are various educational strategies that promote generic skills development in medical education; hence, there is a need for a valid and reliable instrument to assess them. This study aims to translate and adapt a generic skills self-assessment instrument developed by Groen et al.1 to assess Indonesian medical student’s generic skills in a classroom context.Methods: WHO's guidelines were used for the translation process, which consisted of: 1) forward translation, 2) expert panel review (using the Delphi method), 3) back translation, 4) pre-testing and cognitive interviews, and 5) the final version. Additional measures were employed to improve the translation accuracy, including proofreading (prior to step 2), expert panel review after step 3 and 4, and pilot testing along with psychometric testing after step 5. Backward translation was done by a professional translation service. Ten fourth-year students from Atma Jaya School of Medicine and Health Sciences were involved in step 4; meanwhile, we piloted the translated instrument to 35 other fourth-year students from the same sample pool. We also conducted an internal reliability test using Cronbach's alpha and construct validity test, including corrected total-item correlation and principal component analysis.Results: Steps 1-3 produced an Indonesian version of the generic skills assessment instrument with good face and content validity. Quantitative data analysis showed high internal reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = .955) and acceptable item-total correlation (ranging from .345 to .757).Conclusion: Factor analysis showed 6 domains labelled as analytical skills, teamwork, communication skills, perseverance, social judgment, and global abstraction skills.

Undergraduate students' perceptions of the development of generic competences and their relevance to the engineering professionGeneric competences are essential for engineers' career advancement.However, different approaches for managing these competences across educational programmes in engineering exist. Our research aimed to explore the perceptions of undergraduate naval-engineering students enrolled in an elective leadership subject of the most relevant generic competences in the engineering profession. This study also identified their perceptions of developments and areas needing improvement. Applying the inductive method, the study was conducted through a content analysis of 63 portfolios used by undergraduate students at a polytechnic Spanish university. The findings conveyed that 'collaborating and teamworking' and 'managing and leading' were the most relevant groups of generic competences identified as important for career development. To enhance generic competence training in engineering education, our results propose an integrative perspective of these as a framework. The results reinforce the call for a better understanding of generic competences and metacognitive and conative endurances, supporting a more personalised integration of a holistic view of educational programmes in engineering.
