- Adopting Flipped Learning (FL) for Physical Education Pre-Service Teachers
at a Korean University
Authors: Seung-Hoon Jeong, Ji-Young Chung
Pages: 1 - 1
Abstract: Since flipped learning (FL) is a popular approach in a worldwide university classroom, expanding the scope with diverse disciplines and student populations is necessary. This study examines Korean pre-service teachers' evaluations and satisfaction with flipped learning for physical education courses. The data was collected in 2022 fall, including the course exit survey (n=103) and focus-group interviews (n=8). The results are as follows. Firstly, FL provides a convenient and adaptable learning environment for PSTs, allowing them to access course materials conveniently. Secondly, the FL format is beneficial for PSTs in developing their self-directed learning skills, as they review course materials before attending face-to-face classes. As a result, PSTs reported feeling more prepared for in-class assignments. Thirdly, PSTs praised the FL instructor as a competent educator who effectively communicated the course content in a well-organized manner. However, PSTs preferred immediate instructor feedback during focus-group discussions during face-to-face or synchronous Zoom lectures. Lastly, various recommendations were discussed for successfully implementing FL in higher education physical education courses.

Pages: 23 - 23
Abstract: In an environment of hypercompetition, Industry 4.0 and the impact of the social trend called groundswell on corporate communication mediated through social media, online advertising is critical to enterprise marketing. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation from classical advertising to digital. The Controlling/Audit approach could serve as a tool for optimising online advertising performance. The paper analyses a sample of online advertisements (n=248,812) and the finding of this research points to possible significant improvement in CPT (Cost per thousand) ratio and enhanced efficiency of enterprise marketing strategies. Based on the research findings, three linear regression models were developed for improving investment in online advertising. These models were used to set up a controlling/audit approach that was experimentally tested in selected enterprises. Experimental testing proved that Controlling/Audit improved the efficiency of online advertising, in some cases, by over 50% in terms of CPT.

Abstract: The importance of women's empowerment in poverty alleviation programs in eastern Indonesia became the main objective of the research. This research aims to identify the approaches to empowering indigenous Papuan women in Yoboy Village, Jayapura. In addition, this research aims to find out the supporting and inhibiting factors in this empowerment. Indigenous Papuan women are a group of indigenous peoples from Indonesia. Several factors diminish the role of women in Jayapura, such as poverty, domestic violence, and the difficulty of self-reliance. Yoboy village has limited options for economic facilities. Therefore, this research conducted Andrew Barlette's Empowerment Theory as an analysis tool. The data collection techniques in this qualitative research were conducted by observation, interview and documentation. Three entry points must be completed to optimize empowerment in poor communities. This research indicated that the empowerment of indigenous Papuan women is also applied through participation, self-reliance, and partnership techniques. The creativity and self-confidence of indigenous Papuan women have made these empowerment programs successful. However, business capital, lack of concern, and cooperation among indigenous Papuan women have become inhibiting factors in empowerment. Therefore, the empowerment of indigenous Papuan women still requires developing and strengthening various programs. The participation of partnerships is one of the important keys to this development.

Abstract: The colonial history and 19th c. English literature have a unique connection. Indeed, writings of this period, particularly novels, contributed to the development of the ideologies that enabled imperialism to continue and persist; the interactions, presentations, and support of the authors varied and took different and complex aspects and forms. In cases, some texts directly address the topic of colonization while other texts hint at, refer to, and address indirectly some behavior and various colonial tendencies. This paper aims to analyze and address Charlotte Brontë's The Professor (written in 1846 and published in 1857); her first book that was published after her death. A contrapuntal reading expresses the narrative's overt and covert references to colonialism though it is initially perceived as a naïve love story. It is one of the unpopular novels that have tackled colonialism in a way or another due to the fact it was written during the peak of the colonial period. This article will trace the colonial elements addressed in the novel. Examining colonial traits in the novel, such as oppression, subjugation, exploitation, the assertion of racial and cultural superiority, etc., is the goal of the current study.

Abstract: Personality traits have been highlighted as factors that affect workers’ behaviour, such as their performance or labour engagement. However, little is currently known about the personality differences between Latin American university students who perform self-employment activities, those who are dependent workers and those who are nonworkers. This research fills this knowledge gap by assessing the influence of the personality traits of 758 university students from Latin America on their employment status. In addition, the effect of gender and age cohort on students’ employment status is assessed. A logistic regression analysis is conducted using the personality traits of the Big Six model, gender and belonging to the millennial generation as independent variables has been conducted. The results support the significant effect of openness, conscientiousness and extraversion on students' employment status. Likewise, effects of gender and age are found. The results contribute to a better understanding of how individual conditions may affect the work activity of university students with regard to dependent employment, self-employment and work inactivity. In addition, the results can guide efforts to support entrepreneurship through the design of effective training programmes according to the students' personality traits and demographic characteristics.

Abstract: The present study contends that the lack of an exhaustive legal framework regulating the installation, use, and storage of data obtained from surveillance cameras poses a threat to public order and society in Albania. While security cameras can aid in preventing crime and enhancing citizens’ safety, privacy concerns raised by surveillance must not be overlooked. Therefore, a balance between security and privacy should be set, and the legal regulations law must clearly define the purpose of the installation of cameras, delimiting security measures to accomplish their intended purpose. The actual main law for this area is titled “On Additional Measures for Public Security” and was passed by the Parliament on 2016. This law provides a good start for further progress if certain changes is specific areas of it can be changed. In the other hand, mere good intentions cannot serve as a justification for privacy violations and guidelines for the collection, storage, and use of data obtained from surveillance cameras must be established by this law or other regulatory means. This article highlights that the effectiveness of surveillance cameras in detecting crimes is limited, especially for those that are covert and sophisticated. As such, the law should provide clear instructions on the collection, storage, and utilization of data acquired through surveillance cameras to avoid unintended consequences and privacy violations. Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of balancing public safety with individual privacy rights in wiretapping and camera surveillance in Albania.

Abstract: Female entrepreneurship has emerged as a topic of great interest in research and society in general. Over the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of women starting their own businesses and ventures around the world. Based on this, this article aims to analyze female university entrepreneurship as a competitive factor to strengthen the professional profile of university students. It is framed in a quantitative approach, using a questionnaire based on a Likert scale considering 5 points, with six questions on sociodemographic data and 30 questions divided into 9 dimensions. For its analysis, the Mann Whitney U and Kruskall Wallis tests were used, having as results that entrepreneurial intention (4.44), intrinsic motivation (4.36), attitude (4.32), innovation (4.31), self-efficacy (4.23) and extrinsic motivation (4.20) are the most valued criteria. It is concluded that female university entrepreneurship presents particular characteristics in terms of motivation, financing and entrepreneurial approach. Entrepreneurial university women tend to be business career students, hard-working and thrifty, but they face difficulties in obtaining financing.

Pages: 104 - 104
Abstract: This study aimed to analyze and explain the effectiveness of leadership based on Pela Gandong values at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Ambon City. Data analysis was carried out descriptively quantitatively with criteria for interpreting percentage scores in determining choices and making final decisions based on Average Achievement (CRR) and values/indexes to set priorities using sociometric calculations, namely the calculation of the Preferred Status Index (ISP). The results showed that leadership effectiveness is based on Pela Gandong values which include carrying out tasks, understanding regulations, standards, and work procedures, using equipment, organization of tasks, security training and safety, and requiring costs in carrying out tasks. Furthermore, the availability of organizational resources at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Ambon City is in a strong category. The effectiveness of leadership based on Pela Gandong values regarding carrying out public service tasks (CRR 72% with ISP 3) can be increased priority to V, understanding regulations, standards, and work procedures in public services (CRR 70% with ISP 2.91) can be increased priority to III, utilizing equipment in public services (CRR 62% with ISP 2.58) can be increased priority to I, the organization carries out public service tasks (CRR 71% with ISP 2,95) can be increased priority to IV, security training and safety security in public services (CRR 70% with ISP 2.91) can be increased priority to III, requiring costs in carrying out public services (CRR 71% with ISP 2.95) can be increased priority to IV, and the availability of organizational resources in public services (CRR 67% with ISP 2.79) can be increased priority to II. Thus, if strengthening and improvement are carried out properly, and their sustainability is guaranteed, it will obtain maximum results for the progress of public services at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Ambon City. Leaders also need to apply the leadership values of the Ambon people, which are reflected in the values of Pela Gandong, which motivate leaders to carry out service tasks to the community.

Abstract: Negative impact from pandemic of COVID-19 suffered the whole world. Either its government or non-government sectors, all of these has been critically challenged by the pandemic. To understand the situation better, we had systematically reviewed existing academic articles from all around the world to discover what is the roles played by the NGOs in facing the pandemic and also the strategies used by them for community development during the pandemic. The existing articles with different research approaches had reported four categories of roles played by the NGOs including (1) a consultant on health awareness; (2) basic necessities provider; (3) training provider for NGOs in pandemic related skills; and (4) educator for COVID-19 awareness. As for the strategies, there are three strategies used in by the NGOs in facing the pandemic including: (1) an innovative technology approach; (2) collaboration for coordination; and (3) capital raising through funding. These roles and strategies slightly differ from existing roles of NGOs as it focusses more on managing the pandemic among the community as well. Nevertheless, further research is needed to explore more on how collaboration between government and NGOs can improved the community development.

Abstract:
Religiosity acts as an important marker of personal self-identification and an identification marker of social processes. The paradigm in relation to religion is changing: the secularism of the state and ideological pluralism contributes to an expanded understanding of religion not only as a spiritual tradition, but also as an institution of socialization. This article examines the dynamics of religiosity in Kazakhstan, focusing on the impact of traditional and new forms of religiosity on sociocultural self-identification. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques. The study reveals the evolving nature of religiosity in Kazakhstan within a context of ideological pluralism, emphasizing the complex interplay between traditional and new forms of religiosity and highlighting the need for strategies to maintain social cohesion and effective ideological socialization in this multicultural, multi-confessional society. The study contributes to understanding the religiolization process in Kazakhstan and its implications for individual and collective identities in a multicultural and multi-confessional society.

Abstract: Developments in technology, communication, and various spheres of economic and social life have brought about new approaches to public relations management. As companies continue to develop, there is a growing need not only for capital management, but also for reputation management. Over the last two decades, charity has been a vital element for corporate image consolidation and participation in addressing social needs in the Albanian society. However, recently there has been a shift in managing public relations and charity in corporations, leading to philanthropy as a more sustainable means of creating long-term strategies for reputation management. This paper aims to explore this evolution in the Albanian companies, focusing on their philanthropic activities. The study looks into the reasons why companies engage in such activities and the possible role the latter play in improving their reputation. For this study, we selected cases from five of the largest companies that utilize philanthropic activities as part of their PR strategies in Albania. In-depth data collection and analysis provides a comprehensive and contextualized understanding of the impact philanthropy has on reputation management. Additionally, the study employs a qualitative method, including interviews with industry professionals, academics, and media experts. The collected data shows that philanthropy has become a long-term and strategic element of corporate plans, influencing thus reputation management approaches that aim for continuous and sustainable relationships with all involved stakeholders.

Abstract: The medical hub industry is one of the industries that use new technologies and innovations as a mechanism to drive the economy in the future. With advances in technology, innovation, and personalized health, it plays an important role in supporting health care and livelihoods. Health promotion, prevention and treatment of disease, and physical rehabilitation are necessary to ensure good health and safety in life. The objective of this study is to develop a causal relationship model of the actual adoption of technology and innovation for health in Thailand and to check the consistency of the causal relationship. The research data was collected by an online questionnaire from 800 people who had used technology and innovation for health while living in Thailand from a simple sampling using a causal relationship model and a structural equation (SEM). This research has noted relationships between health belief, ease of use, credibility, consumer innovation, perceived usefulness, and attitude toward use that have a direct positive correlation with the adoption intention and actual adoption of technology and innovation. Additionally, the results also reveal that perceived credibility is one of the most important predictors of the intention to actually adopt healthcare technology and innovation.

Abstract: The aim of this research is to identify the factors impacting customer satisfaction, focusing on customer perceptions within one of the country's most prominent delivery companies, specifically centered in the city of Chiclayo, Peru. The study utilizes the SERVPERF model, which gauges customer perceptions across five dimensions: reliability, responsiveness, security, empathy, and tangibility. Interviews were conducted with the manager and several delivery drivers in the city to comprehend operational processes. To gather unbiased customer opinions, a survey was administered to 196 customers. The results indicate that customers assess the company's service quality as average. Despite the elevated demand, customers display a relatively low level of contentment with the service provided. Furthermore, the research explores the extent of customer satisfaction. Through Pearson's correlation analysis, it was ascertained that the dimensions exerting influence on satisfaction encompass reliability, security, and empathy. The study also establishes that the degree of satisfaction averages out and is intrinsically tied to the quality of service.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to describe the comparison of dispute resolution mechanisms by arbitration and dispute resolution through general courts. This study uses normative juridical, referring to legal norms which include laws and regulations, court decisions and applicable legal rules. Furthermore, this research will answer legal issues regarding dispute resolution through arbitration. Normative legal research is "legal research conducted by examining literature (secondary data). The results of the study indicate that there are two choices of arbitral institutions to resolve disputes, namely arbitration and general courts. Comparison of dispute resolution mechanisms between arbitration and institutional arbitration is that arbitration has the freedom of the parties to determine the arbitrator, guarantees the confidentiality of the parties because dispute resolution is carried out in private, the parties can determine the place of arbitration, choice of law in dispute resolution, and the dispute resolution process is faster, namely can be completed in no more than 180 days. While settlement through a general court requires a relatively long time, is open to the public, and is confrontational in nature, all decisions are final and binding. However, for arbitration, the recognition and implementation of the decision must still be registered with the district court. Weaknesses of arbitration are the emergence of suspicion of each party about the closeness of the arbitrator, given the current sophistication of technology, so that the number of dispute resolution through arbitration in Indonesia is very small. Society prefers litigation over non-litigation. Received: 21 April 2023 / Accepted: 09 August 2023 / Published: 5 September 2023

Abstract: The phenomenon of auditors transitioning to Public Accounting Firms (KAP) or other professions has resulted in a decline in both auditor performance and the overall functioning of KAP. Therefore, this study empirically examines the predictive capabilities of role dynamics theory within the framework of planned behavior theory on mentoring behavior and its potential to prevent auditors from transitioning to KAP or other professions. The study design used explanatory causality and the data were collected through survey using a questionnaire, with primary data as the source. The sample included 191 auditors at various levels, namely managerial, partner auditors, senior auditors, and staff members, within KAP. Furthermore, a proportional random sampling method was used, and structural equation modeling [SEM] was employed for data analysis. The individual auditor served as the analytical unit, while time horizon was considered as the cross section. The results showed the mentor's position positively impacted the level and mentoring function of protégé organization, and the degree of the organization positively influenced the status of the mentor. Meanwhile, the mentor's level and mentoring function negatively impacted turnover intention, and organizational structure enhanced the connection between protégé organizational level and the mentoring role. The results indicated that both the position and function of mentoring can enhance the retention of protégé of staff, and the less structured office environment can strengthen mentoring activities within the KAP.

Abstract: Improving work engagement among working mothers is crucial not only due to their growing numbers each year but also because of the inherent complexity in their lives. This study aims to examine the role of life satisfaction as a mediating variable in the relationship between workplace spirituality and work engagement among working mothers. The survey method was employed, utilizing workplace spirituality, work engagement, and life satisfaction scales, all of which demonstrated favorable properties, with AVE-coefficients above 0.50 and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients above 0.60. The research comprised 706 working mothers who met specific criteria, including formal employment, having children, and a minimum work experience of one year. Data analysis was conducted using smartPLS version 3. The study's results indicate that life satisfaction indeed serves as a mediating variable in the link between workplace spirituality and work engagement among these mothers. The implications of these findings are discussed, highlighting the significance of increasing mothers' involvement in the workforce overall.

Victimization

Pages: 262 - 262
Abstract: This research aims to find the causal factors and solutions to prevent secondary victimization. Using a doctrinal legal research method with statutory and conceptual approaches, Indonesian regulations are analyzed regarding the rights of crime victims and secondary victimization. Books and scientific journals that specifically discussed crime victims, crime typologies, and secondary victimization were also analyzed. By using qualitative analysis, the study shows that victims of crime, particularly those who experience sexual violence, suffer more severe and prolonged trauma when interacting with law enforcement personnel in the criminal justice system. These personnel usually blame the victim rather than showing empathy. The patriarchal perspective of society also exacerbates the situation. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage and practice values pro towards crime victims by personnel of the criminal justice system. Moreover, victims need to be empowered in every decision-making process that directly impacts their psychological condition. Online trials via teleconference need to be used frequently, especially in cases of sexual violence or domestic violence. This research presents an in-depth and comprehensive review of the causal factors and strategies to prevent secondary victimization. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners in the criminal justice system to improve their approach towards crime victims and secondary victimization.

Abstract: The increasing number of post-retirement workers in the workforce has become a global trend due to efforts to extend the working period after retirement, which is implemented by many countries considering the rapid aging of their populations. While the presence of post-retirement workers can have positive impacts on personal, company, and government levels, they face challenges in interacting with equipment through interfaces that require heavy reliance on cognitive abilities. Cognitive abilities become more important than physical abilities in multitasking jobs that require a lot of interaction with technology, such as control room jobs. These jobs require a high level of attention, concentration, and decision-making ability, making them highly demanding and challenging. This study aims to determine how post-retirement workers meet job demands in the control room, based on identification of critical cognitive abilities. The method employed in this study is divided into two stages. The first stage involves identifying tasks in the control room based on Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) and identifying critical tasks using risk assessment and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). FGD was conducted on four different types of companies (telecommunication, broadcasting, process industry, and electrical power) that still employ retired workers in the control room jobs. The second stage involves measuring cognitive abilities in 116 individuals aged 56-60 years. The results of CTA indicate there are critical cognitive abilities in control room jobs, such as reasoning, attention, memory, and perception ability. According to the measurement, post-retirement workers (56 - 60 years old) had the problem of improving reasoning, attention, and perceptive ability, despite cognitive capacity measurements remaining in the medium range. In general, post-retirement workers have high memory abilities (above 500), while their abilities in recognition, perception, coordination, and attention are only at 200-400 (a medium level), indicating a decline in cognitive abilities for post-retirement workers. The high memory ability is positive for supporting work in complex systems, while improvement of cognitive abilities is needed for the declining cognitive aspects. Implication of this study were discuss to this paper to consider factors that affect critical cognitive abilities in post-retirement workers when recruiting and training them to work in the control room.

Abstract: Various events can affect a country's exchange rate. In the period between 2020 and 2021, Peru experienced the severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as political instability. This article has two objectives: first, to explore what was the average monthly exchange rate (sale) in Peru between January 2020 and December 2021; second, to determine if there is any significant trend in the data shown for that period. The research presented a quantitative approach, descriptive level, non-experimental design and retrospective cross-sectional cut. The technique was documentary review and the instrument was the registration form. The data provided by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (Monthly average bank exchange rate -sale-) were explored. As a result, it was found that the lowest value was recorded in January 2020 (S/3,329), while the highest value was recorded in September 2021 (S/4,111). In addition, the result of the Mann-Kendall trend statistical test resulted in a p. value of < 0.0001, thus there is a significant trend in the average monthly exchange rate (sale) in Peru between January 2020 and December 2021.

The collection technique was carried out using a questionnaire, and the data obtained were analyzed based on the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI). Empirical findings found that the organizational culture felt in the General Secretariat Bureau of the Province of NTB today is the market culture. The culture desired or expected in the future is clan culture. This finding identifies that employees now perceive leadership as a competitor and a strong driver, with the principle of competition in achieving productivity where all activities focus on organizational and consumer control. However, in the future, the culture that is expected to occur is that the workplace will become a pleasant environment for all. Leaders are role models who can provide needed guidance and facilities, so the leadership of the General Secretariat Bureau for the Province of NTB needs to prepare the following: 1) work involvement; 2) team development; 3) employee empowerment; 4) Development of Human Resources; 5) Organizational openness.

Abstract: This research examines the relationships among various elements of Strategic Leadership and Business Sustainability within tech-based firms located in the northern coastal region of Colombia, spanning the years 2015 to 2019. Initially, a correlation assessment was conducted to pinpoint variables that may be linked. Subsequently, a Dickey-Fuller analysis was employed to ascertain the presence of non-stationary variables and to determine if there was any causality between them, using a significance threshold of P ' 0.05. To substantiate the relationships among the scrutinized variables, a dispersion analysis was carried out, supplemented by a review of scholarly works that previously explored the subject matter. It emerged that solely the variables related to human capital and organizational contexts have an impact on the conduct of the social milieu, which acts as a catalyst for the growth of tech-based enterprises. This research is an enriching addition to existing literature, as it dissects the dynamics of tech-centered companies through a lens that transcends conventional narrative frameworks. This study was based on Heidy Rico doctorate research entitled “Incidence of strategic leadership on business sustainability of Technology-Based Companies in the Department of Atlántico”, Universidad Simon Bolivar, Colombia.

Abstract: This study primary goal was to investigate the electronic infrastructure-based and the sustainable development of business education programmes in the 21st century. This study used a survey research approach, with 23 participants, including 14 male and 9 female of business education lecturers. There was no sample in this study because the total population was small enough to be studied as a whole. The necessary data were gathered using one study instrument known as the "Electronic Infrastructure-based and Sustainable Development of Business Education Programme Questionnaire" (EISDBEPQ). The questionnaire was validated by three experts: one from measurement and evaluation and two from the business education department. Cronbach Alpha statistics were used to test the instrument's reliability, and the results showed that it had an overall reliability coefficient of 0.94. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, and the null hypothesis was tested using an independent t-test at the.05 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that electronic infrastructure-based programmes were not utilized, and strategies to improve the utilization of electronic infrastructure-based programmes are necessary for the sustainability of business education programs. It was concluded that it is critical to promote the use of electronic infrastructure in order to efficiently enhance the business education programme in Nigerian universities. And it was recommended, among others, that information and communication technology should indeed be highly interwoven into the business education curriculum to enhance the security of migrating the teaching process from the traditional method to the digital form.

Abstract: Regional autonomy is expected to promote financial performance and people’s welfare. This study investigates factors that affect local governments’ financial performance in Indonesia, where performance is defined as the ability to generate local revenues. To test our hypothesis, we used panel data regression analysis. From 2012 to 2019, this study collected 3,747 observations on municipal governments. The dependent variable is local government financial performance, while the independent variables include region size, capital spending, financial reporting quality, audit recommendations, and the horizon problem. We find that the size of the local government, financial reporting quality, and the follow-up on audit recommendations positively affect financial performance. Larger local governments have more resources to generate revenues. High financial reporting quality and accountability are supposed to improve public trust and increase their willingness to make contributions through local tax payments. Capital expenditure, on the other hand, is associated with lower financial performance. This study contributes to the literature on financial performance, especially in the public sector, by providing empirical evidence on factors affecting local government financial performance. This study provides insight to stakeholders by providing evidence on the role of size, capital spending, audit opinion, and follow-up of audit recommendations in accelerating the improvement of financial performance.
