Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program is one of the distinguished programs issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture. It is expected that the university students enhance soft and hard skills by joining one of eight suggested programs. Link and match was an initial policy in the 1990s while the MBKM program is improved. The study aims to uncover the industrial interest embedded in MBKM policy by reviewing the concepts and educational design in Indonesia. Library research towards the ideas was reviewed. Reputable journals and books were collected and overviewed while the critical concept of education was carried out as a tool of analysis. The theory of education addressed by Illich (2000), Walker (1981), and Nabhani (2001) was employed to trace the Industrialization of education in MBKM policy. The study shows that the industrial factors in MBKM policy are highlighted and strengthened by giving students the right to take a program and doing a credit transfer at the end of the program. The university and study program curriculum is focused on the need for the business and industrial world.

En este trabajo se presenta y discute un sistema de evaluación que permite al profesor obtener múltiples evidencias de las habilidades y conocimientos de los alumnos y optimizar la tutorización, el seguimiento y el apoyo al aprendizaje. La experiencia de innovación ha tenido lugar durante el curso 2005-06 en tres grupos experimentales de la asignatura de Psicología de la Educación, una asignatura troncal de la Licenciatura de Psicología diseñada en coherencia con European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) en la Universidad de Barcelona. La presentación del sistema de evaluación se utiliza como punto de partida para una reflexión más amplia sobre algunos criterios que deberían contemplarse, a juicio de los autores, en el diseño de sistemas de evaluación vinculados a la construcción del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior.AbstractThis article presents and discusses an evaluation system that enables the teacher to obtain data of the students’ abilities and knowledge from multiple sources, in order to optimize the tutoring, the follow-up and the learning support. This innovative experience took place during the academic year 2005-2006. Three groups from the Educational Psychology course took part in the study. Educational Psychology is a key subject in the curriculum for the Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, designed at the University of Barcelona in compliance with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). The presentation of this evaluation system intends to be the starting point toward a deeper reflection regarding the criterion that, according to the authors, should be taken into account when designing evaluation systems in connection with the creation of the European Space of Higher Education.

AbstractResults are presented of the user evaluation of an integrated medical workstation for support of clinical research. Twenty-seven users were recruited from medical and scientific staff of the University Hospital Dijkzigt, the Faculty of Medicine of the Erasmus University Rotterdam, and from other Dutch medical institutions; and all were given a written, self-contained tutorial. Subsequently, an experiment was done in which six clinical data analysis problems had to be solved and an evaluation form was filled out. The aim of this user evaluation was to obtain insight in the benefits of integration for support of clinical data analysis for clinicians and biomedical researchers. The problems were divided into two sets, with gradually more complex problems. In the first set users were guided in a stepwise fashion to solve the problems. In the second set each stepwise problem had an open counterpart. During the evaluation, the workstation continuously recorded the user’s actions. From these results significant differences became apparent between clinicians and non-clinicians for the correctness (means 54% and 81%, respectively, p = 0.04), completeness (means 64% and 88%, respectively, p = 0.01), and number of problems solved (means 67% and 90%, respectively, p = 0.02). These differences were absent for the stepwise problems. Physicians tend to skip more problems than biomedical researchers. No statistically significant differences were found between users with and without clinical data analysis experience, for correctness (means 74% and 72%, respectively, p = 0.95), and completeness (means 82% and 79%, respectively, p = 0.40). It appeared that various clinical research problems can be solved easily with support of the workstation; the results of this experiment can be used as guidance for the development of the successor of this prototype workstation and serve as a reference for the assessment of next versions.

Recently the university students are required by their institutions to have the TOEFL score in the fisrt year or in the last year of their study before graduation. Some other higher institutions require their students to submit TOEIC, not TOEFL, before graduation. Companies, in the recruitment process, require the applicants to submit TOEFL score to show their level of English proficiency. The first question is which one is more appropriate for job applicants in the compay: TOEFL  or TOEIC. Another question for university students before graduation is whether to have TOEFL  in the first year or in the last year before graduation. This article aims at answering the two questions raised. The first part will give an overview of various versions of TOEFL  and  TOEIC  and the second part proposes the appropriate English proficiency test  for the recruitment process for new employees and for the university graduates, that is, TOEIC for the company  and TOEFL  for universities  and  colleges.
