Abstrak. Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (Udinus) sebagai Universitas Terbaik ketiga Nasional memiliki Visi “The Top Priority University to be Chosen in education and Enterpreneurship”. Visi ini diimplementasikan melalui pemberian mata kuliah kewirausahaan. Indikator keberhasilan sekaligus indikator prestasi mata kuliah yang diberikan, dapat dilihat melalui jumlah lulusan yang menjadi wirausaha, yaitu sejumlah 165 sejak tahun 2011. Berdasar data tersebut, dapat dikatakan bahwa lulusan yang menjadi wirausaha masih sangat sedikit. Diketahui bahwa pencapaian prestasi sangat dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan belajar yang mendukung, terutama pada saat terjadi interaksi komunikasi antar personal Dosen dan Mahasiswa. Berdasar hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor Komunikasi Antar Pribadi yang mampu meningkatkan lingkungan belajar yang mendukung di Universitas Dian Nuswantoro. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah analisis faktor, dengan dua belas variabel asal. Adapun dua belas faktor tersebut antara lain, toleransi, kesempatan yang seimbang, sikap menghargai, sikap mendukung, sikap terbuka, pemilikan informasi, kepercayaan, keakraban, kesejajaran, control dan pengawasan, respon, dan suasana emosional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sepuluh faktor baru yang terbentuk yaitu perhatian, timbal balik, akurasi, kolaborasi, pengertian, kejelasan, kejujuran, keintiman, keikhlasan, kesetiaan.  Faktor yang paling dominan adalah faktor perhatian. Berdasar hasil penelitian, disarankan kepada pengajar untuk dapat menerapkan kesepuluh faktor dalam pembelajaran mata kuliah yang termasuk dalam turunan kewirausahaan, terlebih faktor perhatian. Penerapan faktor-faktor ini dalam pembelajaran mata kuliah kewirausahaan diharapkan mampu membentuk lingkungan belajar yang mendukung dan mampu meningkatkan motivasi untuk berwirausaha. Konteks tentang pengaruh faktor komunikasi antar personal dalam pembelajaran terhadap motivasi berwirausaha dapat dikaji pada penelitian selanjutnya.  Abstract. Dian Nuswantoro University (Udinus) as the third best National University, has a vision "The Top Priority University to be Chosen in Education and Entrepreneurship". This vision is implemented through the provision of entrepreneurship courses. Indicators of success as well as indicators of achievement given courses, can be seen through the number of graduates who become entrepreneurs, which is a number of 165 since 2011. Based on these data, it can be said that graduates who become entrepreneurs are very few. It is known that achievement is greatly influenced by a supportive learning environment, especially when communication interactions occur between lecturers and students. This study aims to determine the factors of Interpersonal Communication that can improve the supportive learning environment at Dian Nuswantoro University. The research method used was factor analysis, with twelve origin variables. They are, tolerance, balanced opportunities, respect, support, openness, ownership of information, trust, intimacy, alignment, control and supervision, response, and emotional atmosphere. The results showed ten new factors formed namely attention, reciprocity, accuracy, collaboration, understanding, clarity, honesty, intimacy, sincerity, and loyalty. The most dominant factor is attention. Based on the results of the study, it is advisable for instructors to be able to apply the ten factors in learning subjects included in entrepreneurship, especially attention factors. The application of these factors in learning entrepreneurship courses is expected to form a supportive learning environment and be able to increase motivation for entrepreneurship. The context of the influence of interpersonal communication factors in learning on entrepreneurial motivation can be examined in furtherresearch

The paper presents the results of monitoring of intraschool factors and gives a hygienic assessment of the sanitary and epidemiological wellbeing of schools and the organization of the educational process in schools of Chelyabinsk. It was established that 56.4 % of establishments with satisfactory conditions of stay and education belong to the second group and 0.6 % of schools belong to the third group of sanitary and epidemiological wellbeing. In the study of class schedules, non-compliance with hygienic standards was found in 26.3 % of cases. Subjects of high difficulty level are put the first on schedule in 15.0 % of cases and during 5–8 lessons in 10.0 % of cases. We assessed the anxiety levels of 5–11th grade students (total 2 032 schoolchildren). High levels of reactive anxiety were found among 35.7 % of students and personal anxiety among 37.0 % of schoolchildren respectively. The most significant causes of psychological discomfort in educational establishments are the conditions of a new digital intraschool environment and educational overload, which can manifest themselves in a high anxiety level among students, which necessitates the development of hygienic principles for the formation of a health-saving environment.

The Impact

Paramedics deal with a variety of emergency situations, ranging from natural disasters to road traffic accidents. Higher education providers need to critically explore how to best prepare student paramedics for high risk, unforeseen events that require critical awareness and diagnostic problem-solving capabilities. Hi-fidelity mannequin based simulation is a widely adopted and proven technique for clinical training and critical care response education (Kaufman, 2010). However, traditional mannequin based simulation in isolation limits a meaningful learning context and authentic real-world assessment influences. The MESH360 project involves a collaborative transdisciplinary team of designers and educational researchers, in the design of XR to enhance student and professional paramedic training to prepare practitioners for the environmental stressors and critical care decisions involved in high-risk situations.  This presentation explores the third iteration prototype design stage of an immersive reality (XR) enhanced simulation project in critical healthcare higher education. To promote student engagement through innovative learning tasks, XR was employed to introduce critical elements of patient and practitioner risk and stress by creating a learning environment that more authentically simulates these elements.  Design Based Research (DBR) provided a structure within a four-phase iterative framework (McKenney & Reeves, 2012) when designing the XR learning environment (Cochrane et al., 2017). Using DBR, the project explored the impact of mobile XR enhanced simulation for novice and professional paramedics. This project explored the development and implementation with an enhanced simulation scenario involving a virtual helicopter ride and an immersive simulated patient rescue. The project used mixed methods to triangulate qualitative and quantitative data within the design. We measured participant stress by recording heart rate (HR) followed by subjective qualitative participant responses and feedback (Pre and post participant surveys, and post focus group). The thematic analysis showed a positive and enthusiastic experience by the students. Whilst some thought there was room for increased helicopter fidelity, all students believed that XR provided a more authentic experience. This presentation will demonstrate the methods and user reaction of this prototype study. This is the third iteration prototyping a DBR project that explores the development of an immersive reality framework for enhanced critical care simulation for educating paramedics within an authentic learning environment. A learning solution was implemented into an educational setting offering context to real-world learning within an engaging authentic environment. The next stages of the research will iteratively evaluate and refine prototype immersive reality learning environments, comparing the impact upon both novice and expert paramedics. This will inform the next phase of the DBR project that will focus upon the development of design principles for a transferable design framework.

AbstractThis thematic issue of Itinerario brings together a selection of papers presented at the international conference Beyond the Islamicate Chancery: Archives, Paperwork, and Textual Encounters across Eurasia, which was held at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna in early October 2018. The conference was the third instalment in a series of collaborations between the Institute of Iranian Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Pittsburgh examining Islamicate cultures of documentation from different angles. Surviving precolonial and colonial chancery archives across Eurasia provide an unparalleled glimpse into the inner workings of connectivity across writing cultures and, especially, documentary practices. This particular meeting has attempted to situate what has traditionally been a highly technical discipline in a broader historical dialogue on the relationship between state power, the archive, and cultural encounters.

Measuring school culture and analyzing student learning experiences is a rapidly growing practice, with a notable uptick following the increased forcus on learning experiences spurred by international comparisons of educational environments and resulting student outcomes. The literature documents common constructs that are often included in school culture surveys. However, often all learning environments are organized together and offered the same school culture survey. This is problematic because a common school culture survey construct is “learning environment” and the items that form this construct will be significantly different based on the instructional model. Therefore, providing educators with a one size fits all culture survey does not meet the needs of schools offering problem-based learning (PrBL) and project-based learning (PBL) environments. This research examines the process for revising, designing, and validating a school culture survey aligned to PrBL and PBL environments.

Background: Needs of health workers, especially general practitioners, relatively high in Indonesia. Career choices among medical students are various, such as general practitioner, specialist, medical researcher, etc. Many factors affect medical students’ career choices, one of them is learning environments. This study aims to prove the correlation between clerkship students’ perceptions of clinical learning environments and their career choices.Methods: This research was an analytical observational research with cross sectional approach. The subjects were clerkship students who underwent clinical rotation. The samples were 178 clerkship students from all departments. They were chosen by probability proportional to size sampling. Every respondent was given career choices questionnaire and PHEEM questionnaire which has analyzed for its validity and reliability with α≥0,6 (α=0,826) and r≥0,30 (r=0,442). The result of this study was analyzed by Chi-square test and followed by Contingency Coefficient with 95% confidence level (α = 0,05). Result: The result showed that students’ perception of clinical learning environment “good but still need improvement” category was nearly the same as “plenty of problems” category. The result on the students’ career choices, most students choose clinical career. There was significant correlation between perception of clinical learning environment and career choices on clerkship students of medical faculty, Sebelas Maret University with p <0,05 (p= 0,018), x2 count (x2=5,625) > x2 table (x2=3,841) and also very weak correlation (C= 0,189).Conclusion: There was very weak correlation between perception of clinical learning environments and career choice on clerkship students.

Method Approach

Extant research shows that blended learning environments are widely accepted by students mainly because of the flexibility it offers. However, there is very little research that focuses on students’ preferences within a holistic blended learning environment and the contribution that a component makes to the learning of the subject matter, especially in large class settings. The purpose of this study is to investigate students’ perceptions of blended learning components in a holistic blended learning environment and whether these perceptions vary for students with different academic performance levels. A mixed method approach was used in this study performed at a residential university in South Africa and the results indicate that auditing students do have a clear preference for specific components within the environment and significant differences exist between the preferences of different academic performance levels. Such insights allow lecturers to adjust the resources and focus of the different components implemented in a blended learning environment.
