UNSTRUCTURED Abstract We feel that that given the current COVID-19 crisis, it has created a lot of uncertainties and anxiety. With medical classes initially being conducted online and the ongoing match season, things do not seem to be getting better. NRMP made an official announcement on May 26 that they do not require candidates to take or pass the CS examination in order to participate in the Match. On November19, USMLE announced being in phase 2 (design phase) to relaunch this exam. For this reason, we have written our perspective of possible alternate solutions instead of conducting USMLE Step 2 CS. If the alternate model works out, it can be possibly implemented in future residency match seasons as well.

ABSTRACT Background  Over the past decade, the number of unfilled positions in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Main Residency Match has declined by one-third, while the number of unmatched applicants has grown by more than 50%, largely due to a rise in the number of international medical school students and graduates (IMGs). Although only half of IMG participants historically have matched to a first-year position, the Match experiences of unmatched IMGs have not been studied. Objective  We examined differences in interview and ranking behaviors between matched and unmatched IMGs participating in the 2013 Match and explored strategic errors made by unmatched IMGs when creating rank order lists. Methods  Rank order lists of IMGs who failed to match were analyzed in conjunction with their United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 scores and responses on the 2013 NRMP Applicant Survey. IMGs were categorized as “strong,” “solid,” “marginal,” or “weak” based on the perceived competitiveness of their USMLE Step 1 scores compared to other IMG applicants who matched in the same specialty. We examined ranking preferences and strategies by Match outcome. Results  Most unmatched IMGs were categorized as “marginal” or “weak”. However, unmatched IMGs who were non-US citizens presented more competitive USMLE Step 1 scores compared to unmatched IMGs who were US citizens. Unmatched IMGs were more likely than matched IMGs to rank programs at which they did not interview and to rank programs based on their perceived likelihood of matching. Conclusions  The interview and ranking behaviors of IMGs can have far-reaching consequences on their Match experience and outcomes.

Based on observations at PPL in SMP 21 Malang in 2012/2013, many student of class 8^th and 9^th are forget how to calculate the length of common tangent. The purpose of this development is to produce a student worksheet on the material tangent for activity learning using Inquiry model which is valid, practical, and effective.Development of student worksheet on tangen material for activity learning using Inquiry models was adapting by Plomp model. In developing a learning media consists of five phases: (1) initial investigation phase, (2) the design phase, (3) phase of realization / construction, (4) phase of the test, evaluation, and revision (5) the implementation phase. According from validation and the results of field trial the student worksheets were developed was valid by percentage of 88.3 percent, practically by percentage of 87.5 percent, and called effective because the scores that were obtained by six students in to answer evaluation had passed the minimum passing score which is given is 75. Berdasarkan observasi saat PPL di SMP Negeri 21 Malang tahun 2012/2013, banyak siswa kelas VIII dan IX lupa saat ditanya bagaimana cara menghitung panjang garis singgung persekutuan dua lingkaran. Tujuan dari pengembangan ini untuk mengembangkan lembar kerja siswa dengan materi garis singgung lingkaran untuk pembelajaran menggunakan model Inquiry yang valid, praktis dan efektif. Pengembangan lembar kerja siswa materi garis singgung lingkaran untuk pembelajaran model Inquiry ini dikembangkan dengan mengadaptasi model Plomp. Dalam mengembangkan media pembelajaran terdiri menjadi lima fase yaitu : (1) fase investigasi awal, (2) fase desain, (3) fase realisasi/konstruksi, (4) fase tes, evaluasi, dan revisi (5) fase implementasi. Berdasarkan hasil validasi dan uji coba lapangan lembar kerja siswa yang dikembangkan valid dengan persentase 88,3 persen, praktis dengan persentase 87,5 persen, dan dikatakan valid karena nilai evaluasi yang didapatkan oleh enam siswa memenuhi kriteria kelulusan minimal yang diberikan yaitu 75

Abstract: Metacognition relates to students' thinking processes about their own thinking and their ability to use certain learning strategies appropriately in order to develop strategies for understanding and solving problems. Metacognition processes are (1) planning, (2) self-checking, (3) awareness and (4) cognitive strategies. To improve students' metacognition skills, strategies are needed to bridge the improvement. Digital classroom is very appropriate to be used in the 21st century because it is able to integrate ICT in the learning process. Digital classroom referred to in this research is an application made by Google that aims to help lecturers and students organize classes and communicate with students without having to be tied to class schedules in class, besides this application helps lecturers arrange and collect assignments from students and assess assignments the. This research is a development study with a Plomp development model with five stages namely (1) the preliminary investigation phase (Preliminary Investigation Phase), (2) the design phase, (3) the realization / construction phase, (realization / construction phase), ( 4) the test, evaluation and revision phase (test, evaluation and revision phase), and (5) the implementation phase. Based on the results of the analysis obtained by the development of Civics learning through digital classroom in improving students' metacognitive abilities are in a valid, practical, and effective category Abstrak: Metakognisi berhubungan dengan proses berpikir mahasiswa tentang berpikir mereka sendiri dan kemampuan mereka menggunakan strategi-strategi belajar tertentu dengan tepat dalam rangka membangun strategi untuk memahami dan memecahkan masalah. Proses metakognisi yaitu (1) perencanaan, (2) pengecekan sendiri, (3) kesadaran dan (4) strategi kognitif. Untuk meningkatkan kemampuan metakognisi mahasiswa diperlukan strategi yang dapat menjembatani peningkatan tersebut. Digital classroom sangat tepat digunakan dalam abad 21 sebab mampu mengintegrasikan ICT dalam proses pembelajaran. Digital classroom yang dimaksud dalam penelitian ini yaitu aplikasi yang dibuat oleh google bertujuan untuk membantu dosen dan mahasiswa mengorganisasi kelas serta berkomunikasi dengan mahasiswa tanpa harus terikat dengan jadwal kuliah di kelas, selain itu aplikasi ini membantu para dosen menyusun dan mengumpulkan tugas dari mahasiswa serta menilai tugas tersebut. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian pengembangan dengan model pengembangan Plomp dengan lima tahapan yaitu (1) tahap pengkajian awal (Preliminary Investigation Phase), (2) tahap perancangan (design phase), (3) tahap realisasi/konstruksi (realization/construction phase), (4) tahap tes, evaluasi dan revisi (test, evaluation and revision phase), serta (5) tahap implementasi (implementation phase). Berdasarkan hasil analisis diperoleh pengembangan pembelajaran PKn melalui digital classroom dalam meningkatkan kemampuan metakognitisi mahasiswa berada pada kategori yang valid, praktis, dan efektif.

Dissonance Reduction

After having been told they were free to accept or refuse, pupils aged 6–7 and 10–11 (tested individually) were led to agree to taste a soup that looked disgusting (phase 1: initial counter-motivational obligation). Before tasting the soup, they had to state what they thought about it. A week later, they were asked whether they wanted to try out some new needles that had supposedly been invented to make vaccinations less painful. Agreement or refusal to try was noted, along with the size of the needle chosen in case of agreement (phase 2: act generalization). The main findings included (1) a strong dissonance reduction effect in phase 1, especially for the younger children (rationalization), (2) a generalization effect in phase 2 (foot-in-the-door effect), and (3) a facilitatory effect on generalization of internal causal explanations about the initial agreement. The results are discussed in relation to the distinction between rationalization and internalization.
