Desain Layanan E-Surat untuk Desa Waru Barat, Pamekasan, Madura menggunakan QR-Code

<p class="Abstrak">Pelayanan dokumen resmi melalui media internet atau e-surat mulai diadopsi pemerintah karena lebih sederhana, cepat, murah dan aman. Penerapan e-surat ini akan sangat berguna terutama bagi Desa Waru Barat, Kabupaten Pamekasan, Madura yang sebagian warganya berdomisili di luar kota atau bahkan di luar negeri. Para warga desa ini seringkali membutuhkan pelayanan surat untuk berbagai keperluan administrasi tanpa terkendala perbedaan waktu dan jarak. Sementara itu, Pemerintah Desa juga ingin meningkatkan pelayanan surat menyurat kepada warganya secara efisien namun tetap menjaga keamanan dan keabsahan dokumen. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan merancang dan membangun aplikasi e-surat untuk Desa Waru Barat dengan menggunakan QR Code. Hasil evaluasi fungsionalitas menunjukkan bahawa aplikasi berhasil membuat dokumen surat dengan QR Code yang unik untuk menjaga keamanan dan keabsahan setiap surat. Sementara itu hasil user acceptance testing dengan melibatkan perangkat desa dan warga masyarakat sebagai pengguna utama menunjukkan tingkat dayaguna dan penerimaan sangat tinggi masing-masing 97,2% dan 95,6%. Dari hasil di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan aplikasi e-surat ini terbukti sangat berguna bagi pemerintah dan warga desa terutama yang berdomisili di luar desa. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi flowmap menunjukan bahwa implementasi e-surat terbukti dapat membuat proses administrasi surat menyurat lebih sederhana, cepat, menghilangkan kendala jarak dan menghemat sumber daya (biaya, waktu dan utilitas) dibandingkan dengan proses sebelum adanya aplikasi ini. Selain implikasi praktis di atas, kontribusi penelitian ini khsusnya dalam bidang TI, yang dapat diadopsi penelitian masa depan, adalah arsitektur sistem dan aplikasi e-Surat dengan algoritma yang mampu membangkitkan QR Code yang unik untuk menjaga keamanan dan keabsahan dokumen.</p><p class="Abstrak"><strong><em><br /></em></strong></p><p class="Abstrak"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p class="Judul2"><em>The process of providing certificates using internet to the citizens, known as e-certificate has increased. This is because e-certificate offers streamlined and faster process yet secure. Therefore, e-certificate seems to be useful especially for Waru Barat Village authority, Pamekasan District, Madura, whose people mostly work outside or even overseas. Eventually, they often need to obtain certificates from the authority for various purposes. On the other hand, the authority is keen to speeding up the delivery of the document but still pay attention to the validity and security. Therefore, this research attempted to design and develop e-certificate for Waru Barat Village using QR Code. The functionality testing showed the application successfully generated e-certificate along with the unique QR Code to secure and maintain the validity of the document. The user acceptance testing involving village staffs and people as the primary users indicated the overall score are 97.2% and 95.6% respectively. This implies that the application proofed to be useful and usable according to the staffs and especially to those who live outside the village. Another flow-map evaluation also showed that the implementation of e-certificate was able to make the administrative process more streamlined, faster, remove geographical barrier, save the resources (cost, time and utility). Despite these practical implication, the contribution of this research, especially to the IT discipline which could be adopted in the future study, is the system architecture and e-certificate application along with the algorithm for generating unique QR Code to ensure the security and validity of the document. </em></p><p class="Abstrak"><strong><em><br /></em></strong></p><p class="Abstrak"><strong><em><br /></em></strong></p>

A New Score Generation Algorithm for Student Concept Map Evaluation

This article presents a new score generation algorithm to compute the accuracy of student concept maps in comparison to teacher maps. The algorithm follows a compare and remove method to remove the extra vertices and wrong edges of student concept map with respect to teacher map. A group of 230 students were taken to generate student maps on a pretaught chapter for finding multivariate regression coefficients for different independent factors incorporated in the study. It was found that there exists a positive correlation between the score obtained by the students and the degree of knowledge acquired by him while constructing concept maps.

Evaluation of selected maps used in early school education in Poland and proposal of a new solution

The author presents criteria of evaluation and assumption for early school education maps. Attention was payed to needs and perceptual possibilities of map users and cartographic correctness of maps. Main criteria of map evaluation – content and form of a map – have their unique attributes. In case of the first criterion they are accuracy and currency, classification of content and usability. Second criterion consist of: composition, colours, labels on the map and readability. Materials commissioned by Ministry of National Education were evaluated on the said criteria basis. Evaluation of maps for early school education revealed their flaws, among which absence of a scale can be named. Afterwards assumptions were developed and used to prepare own proposal of a map. Achieving maximum readability was a priority. Other assumptions concerned graphic balance, classification and hierarchy of content, simplicity of elaboration, usage of readable typefaces and adjustment of transmission to the age of users.
