Abstract

This article aims to describe the implementation of incentive-based active learning to encourage students to actively ask questions and express their opinions during statistics lectures. Incentives are given in the form of extra credit, which can influence scores on assignments and the final exam. The application of this strategy has been proven to improve conceptual understanding and learning outcomes, especially in statistics courses. The analysis shows that every question a student asks has a positive and significant effect on increasing their final exam score, for both male and female students, though the impact is greater for female students. These results confirm that active student involvement through questioning not only enriches the learning process but also provides measurable academic benefits. The success of this method is influenced by the consistent application of the rules, the provision of appropriate feedback, and the improvement in the quality of the questions asked. Therefore, strengthening strategies that can encourage both the quantity and quality of questions is key to increasing the effectiveness of active learning in the classroom. This finding contributes to the development of interactive learning methods that focus on active student participation as a means of improving academic achievement and conceptual understanding

Abstract

Unemployment remains a significant issue in these middle-income countries, constraining poverty alleviation, labor productivity, and the supply of decent work amid skills mismatches and underemployment. This study examines the impact of higher education on unemployment rates in 54 middle-income countries over the period 1999–2022. This study applies the System Generalized Method of Moments (System-GMM) to dynamic panel data and controls for endogeneity and lagged effects. The controls include lagged unemployment, per capita GDP growth, CPI inflation, and government final consumption expenditure (in % of GDP). Findings indicate that a 1% increase in tertiary education leads to a 0.035% decrease in unemployment in the short run and a 0.130% decrease in the long run (both significant at the 1% level). Per capita GDP growth and inflation also reduce unemployment. At the same time, government consumption raises unemployment based on large-scale dynamic analysis in middle-income countries during the post-financial crisis era. The previous literature tends to focus on high-income and static environments. Tertiary education continues to play a key role in addressing unemployment and skills mismatches, according to this research. The authors recommend that greater effort should be directed toward investments in higher education in the context where skills are least aligned with labor market needs, as a big part of public expenditure to generate more employment opportunities.
