Abstract:This research is motivated by the weak competence of lecturers in obtaining research grants, institutional support in providing budgets that are still inadequate, and the fulfillment of research criteria is still weak in…
supporting the accreditation of Polytechnics. This research approach is a qualitative research with case study method. The results of this study indicate that the determination in order to improve the quality of polytechnic research has been carried out but there is no specific policy on the research. The implementation of the internal quality assurance system in research has been carried out by monitoring the grants received by lecturers by looking at the outputs or publications. Evaluation of the internal quality assurance system in the study was carried out by means of an internal quality audit (AMI) which was held once a year to see the publications of each department. Control of the internal quality assurance system in the study was carried out by administrative control including the collection of SKP, BKD and AMI audits. The achievement of research Quality Standards that have been established through the application of SPMI is based on two main principles: continuous process improvement/improvement and continuous improvement of quality standards.
Abstract:This study aims to assess the performance of lecturers in the Computer Science Study Program at HKBP Nommensen University Pematangsiantar from the perspective of students and identify areas that need improvement to enhance…
ce the academic quality of the study program. The study uses a quantitative approach through a survey. The researchers collected data using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire distributed to 103 students of the Computer Science Study Program who had attended lectures. The researchers analyzed five aspects: teaching readiness, teaching materials, teaching discipline, teaching evaluation, and lecturer personality. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics, calculating the percentage of student responses for each aspect of the assessment. The results of the study show that the performance of lecturers in the Computer Science Study Program at HKBP Nommensen University Pematangsiantar is generally in the good to very good category. The aspects of teaching readiness, teaching materials, teaching discipline, and teaching evaluation received very good ratings. The aspect of lecturer personality was in the good category. However, we must improve lecturer performance in the aspect of research. We must improve productivity, continuity of research activities, and scientific publications. The results of this study are expected to be used as evaluation material and a basis for policy-making for institutions in their efforts to improve the quality of lecturers and higher education in a sustainable manner.
Abstract:Information technology-based learning has become important in the world of modern education. In this digital era, Google has become a service that almost everyone must have. However, in practice, there is a problem with…
the various conveniences that Google offers, which are open source and should be used as a solution in the transformation of conventional learning environments to digital learning. This research aims to develop Google Site-based digital learning media as a solution to the transformation of conventional learning to digital learning. The R&D method involves needs analysis, media development, UI/UX evaluation, and increasing learning
efficiency. The study population consisted of 30 lecturers and students from the Plantation Management Study Program, with 27 people as samples using the random sampling method and Krejcie and Morgan table calculations. The results of the study show the high need for digital media in the post-pandemic era, where online learning is dominant. The development and implementation of open-source Google site-based learning media increases learning efficiency compared to the direct presentation of material through online presentations. The accessibility and features provided by the Google site add value to the UI and UX evaluation for users.
