This study aimed to provide an understanding of knowledge management, budget planning models, lecture performance and innovation at universities in Jambi Province. This study adopted an inferential research design. This study was a cross-sectional survey study. The data were collected from 485 lecturers at 3 universities in Jambi province. This study used a structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the data. The results of this study showed that 1) budget planning models (BPM) affect performance lecturer and innovation, 2) knowledge management affects lecturer performance and innovation, 3) innovation affects lecturer performance, 4) budget planning models affect lecturer performance moderated by innovation, and 5) knowledge management affects the performance of lecturers mediated by innovation. In organizations that place greater emphasis on budgetary objectives by using budget planning models with greater flexibility, it is important to create an enabling atmosphere for leaders of both universities and faculties to maximize the effectiveness of evaluation and monitoring.

Biology in secondary schools is still largely oriented to mastery of concepts and has not attempted to empower students' scientific attitudes and higher order thinking skills (HOTS). It has implications for the attitudes and cognitive abilities of students who tend to be low. The problems found in the learning process are related to the lack of application of students' scientific attitudes and HOTS. Teachers do not have learning tools that support the development of scientific attitudes and HOTS. The development of learning tools using constructive strategies is an effective alternative solution that can be used by teachers to overcome these problems. One of the constructive strategies that are considered appropriate to be developed is the PQ4R and TPS strategies. Therefore, this research aims to develop an oriented biology learning tool for empowering students' scientific attitudes and HOTS. Efforts to combine PQ4R and TPS strategies to maximize the potential of these two strategies. The strategy development method follows the Thiagarajan 4D learning design model. The results of this strategy development will be implemented into learning tools.

This study was aimed to examine the effect of teaching with art-themed activities on students' mathematics achievement and to examine students' attitudes on the teaching process. The research was carried out with a total of 52 fifth grade students studying in Istanbul (Turkey). The research has a hybrid design in which qualitative data are used to support quantitative data. In the study carried out with the quasi-experimental research method, the experimental group was taught with art-themed mathematics activities, while the control group was taught with the activities in the Ministry of Education textbook. As a result of research, it was found that teaching mathematics with art-themed activities was more effective in increasing math achievement than teaching with the Ministry of Education textbook. Students considered teaching as fun in general through art-themed activities and expressed that they learned better by having fun. Findings are discussed with a reference to relevant and recent literature.

This research sought to assess the validity and reliability of the Indonesian translation of the Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) and using it to measure Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ Beliefs About Language Learning (BALL). Data were collected by administering BALLI to 58 conveniently sampled English department students at a state higher education institution in Indonesia. Data analyses were conducted within a stochastic modeling approach using the Rasch analysis method. The results show that the inventory meets the psychometric property criteria of a valid and reliable instrument for a meaningful measurement of BALL within a stochastic modeling approach. The majority of the participants believed that everyone can learn to speak English, some languages are easier than others, the most important part of learning English is learning new words, it is important to practice a lot, and they wanted to learn to speak English well.

The research aimed to examine the Ryff’s six factors model of psychological well-being that could be applied to higher education students in Indonesia by using the RASCH model. 425 higher education students completed adapted scales to assess demographic variables. The results showed that the person separation criteria scored 2.38 in the poor category, the item separation scored 12.21 in the very good category, the person reliability scored 0.85 in the good category, and the item reliability scored 0.99 in the very good category. The subscales of the PWB-42 showed accepted levels of reliability and the validity of the psychological well-being scale. The terms of the person and item strata separated criteria in the RASCH model showed good results. However, the statement items provided are not broad enough to reveal the condition of psychological well-being. Therefore, future higher education students research should develop more specific and context-appropriate items for a better operationalization of the Ryff’s theoretical model.

Political education for women cadres is a primary concern for the low quality (performance) of women's politics in the public world. Especially, for women’s party cadres, it is necessary to reconstruct the conception of political education so that occurs in politics. Researchers also targeted 45 informants from academics, practitioners, and the party's women cadres. The method used is a grounded theory approach to obtain field data as the basis for theory construction/conceptualization of the resulting theory. The research results indicated that the reconceptualization of the political education construction must be carried out on a philosophical, juridical, sociological, and practical basis. Three things that need to be reconceptualised, which are (1) the meaning of the essence of political education; (2) the process of implementing political education; and (3) the competencies that must be possessed by women’s party cadres. Recommendations are also discussed for political parties, government, and women political groups.

The 21st century learning must develop the students' 21st century competencies, including aspects of knowledge, students' problem solving skills, and science process skills. These student skills need to be widely developed in science learning to face the challenges of the century. This study aimed to determine the effect of PBL on students' 21st century skills. The study method was quasi-experimental, using a posttest only randomized control group design. Data analysis used a comparison test of two sample groups and the Mann-Whitney U test. The analysis results of student science process activities were 84% in the very active category, while problem solving skills were 0.001 < 0.05 and 0.000 < 0.05 at SMA N 8 and SMA N 9 Padang. Meanwhile, the analysis results of the knowledge aspect data obtained 0.000 <0.05 and 0.000 <0.05 at SMA N 8 and SMA N 9 Padang with the conclusion that Ho was rejected, and it means that in the problem solving aspect and the knowledge aspect there was an influence of PBL on student 21st century skills in the aspects of knowledge, skills problem solving, and students' science process skills.

International students have come to a specific country for a specific period of time for the purpose of obtaining a degree. The success for international students who are from various academic and social backgrounds is not only about educational achievement but also regarding social connection in a new academic community. One of the centers that promotes the success for international students is the International Center in every university. The purpose of this inductive study was to investigate the role of the International Center (IC) in promoting international students’ success in college academically and non-academically. The theoretical framework of Tinto’s (1975) student integration theory in higher education was used to guide the study while the data were collected through Interviews and observations with the director, the intercultural programs and training coordinator, and one international student adviser. The interview data and field notes obtained were organized and analyzed for regularities, patterns, and emerging topics. The results of the data analysis produced six salient themes: mission and vision, pre-arrival programs, arrival programs, ongoing programs, preventive programs, international students’ challenges. The implications of the study are also discussed.
