Karmila Rafiqah M. Rafiqa, Harwati Hashimb*, Melor Md Yunusc, Faculty of Education, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Email: b*harwati@ukm.edu.my

As the Internet of Things (IoT) is paving it’s way into various industries, the educational field is changing from formal classroom to online education, where learning is not only restricted to face-to-face interaction but also virtually. This paper aimed to review the different models of MOOC, which can be used as guidelines to carry out online training. The discussion revolves around the various models of MOOC, whereby learning theories are used as a foundation. Ranging from cognitivist to connectivity, the models of MOOC keep emerging to suit the current demands of learning and to cater to the needs of each individual. The considerable variation of MOOCs does not make the earlier models to be ineffective, yet the later models complement the earlier ones. These discussions will be able to guide and provide an overview for educators and researchers in designing and developing MOOC, especially for professional training in the working field.  Pages 90 to 98

Video Games: The Game Changer in Teaching Writing for ESL Learning

Haida Umiera Hashima, Melor Md Yunusb, Harwati Hashimc, Faculty of Education, The National University of Malaysiaa,b,c

Being able to write excellent academic writing has become a problem among English as Secondary Language learners. Learners tend to be wrong in writing and not show much interest in writing academic writing. One of the reasons for this is because of the conventional approach by educators that are making learners not to feel motivated to write and cause a lack of writing skills. Due to that, to motivate students to be engaged in writing, an intervention of video games is used in teaching writing for ESL learning. The use of video games, specific Players' Underground Battle, or widely known as PUBG, is used in motivating learners to write. A few words or phrases were taken from the video games, and learners needed to write a page of writing out of them. Based on the findings, it can be seen that the intervention of video games has helped learners to be more motivated and creative in writing.  Pages 164 to 172

Millennial society today may experience various problems including addiction in relation to their use of smartphones, the Internet, social media, and games. We also know this student behavior as phubbing behavior. ‘Phubbing’ is the term used to describe a person using a technological device while in the company of another person to whom they are not noticing or attending. This study analyses ‘phubbing behavior’ in Indonesia. 1093 students responded to the study in which a multistage random sampling technique determined participants’ level of happiness (happy, unhappy.) via a Phubbing Behavior Scale (APBS). The data was collated using a research method that was comparative, quantitative and descriptive. Data was analysed with an analysis of variance. The results found 45.2% of Indonesian students experienced high expressions of phubbing behaviour (495 respondents). Judging from the correlated level of happiness in participants, there was no significant difference found: The people expressing high amounts of phubbing were not less happy. The mean of students who tend towards phubbing behaviour. This shows that phubbing in your daily life does not affect your happiness as an individual, but phubbing may be one factor inhibiting happiness.

This article discusses the discourse of art in Sasak, Lombok, in the context of Art Education. This research aims to examine the reality of painting styles in Lombok using Representation Theory in Cultural Studies. From this perspective, the research aim was to explore how the art of Sasak, Lombok is represented. Data was collected using library records and a discourse analysis was applied. There was not a singular art discourse for Lombok. The artistic tradition before the 2000s was dominated by a discussion of Traditional art. This corresponded with a nobility government in West Nusa Tenggara.  Later between the year 2000 and 2010, specifically in the leadership period of Tuan Guru, Islam, discussions of Modernity were found to dominate written interpretations of art. The transition of leadership from the aristocracy to governance under the leadership of Tuan Guru correlated with the changing of Sasak’s art discourse from Tradition to Modernity.

Technology and information have evolved in various fields, with one such area being guidance and counselling. As such, school counsellors must be able to keep the balance between the pace of technological development with service processes that require school counsellors to use complementary technology. One such example is in the assessment process AUM SP.1 PTSDL, an online system application that can be used by school counsellors in the assessment process to reveal learning problems. This application can support school counsellors to develop more assessments without requiring as much time and energy compared to usual manual processing. Processing the instrument manual is an inefficient use of the school counsellor’s time. As such, counsellors have difficulty using AUM PTSDL for the assessment process. The development of information technology that is present today fosters the need for counsellors to use applications or media that can facilitate their tasks by allowing them to use their energy and time more effectively and efficiently.Pages 378 to 389

School Guidance and Counselling Services for Special Education Students in Malaysia: A Literature Review

Abu Yazid Abu Bakara, Siti Nurliyana Ahmadb, Mohd. Izwan Mahmudc, Faculty of Education, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia

The Malaysian Education Act 1996 gave the liberty to the Minister to establish special education classrooms at any schools that needed them, provided the students’ population in those particular schools is sufficient.  This clause has motivated the establishment of Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi (PPKI) in government schools ever since.  This move encouraged parents who have children with issues like learning disabilities and other categories of special needs, to send their children into the mainstream education system, and the numbers are growing every year. The uniqueness of these students and the special learning needed by them makes it essential for the educational system to provide holistic support elements in school settings.  One of these vital elements is the counselling provision specifically tailored for this unique population of students.  However, the current school counselling services provided are based more on the “one-size-fits-all” philosophy; thus, tends to ignore the needs of special education students. On top of that, the PPKI teachers are not given proper training or knowledge in counselling and guidance, which prevents them from helping the students effectively in school. This paper analytically reviews the literature, internationally and locally, with the main purpose to establish an overview of the provision of school counselling for special education students in Malaysia.  Consequently, this literature review will initiate further research works to plan integrated strategies to enhance the existing school counselling services in the Malaysian education system.

Blending Humour and Animation in English Learning for Students of English Education Programs in Universities

Anastasia Dewi Anggraenia, Helda Jolanda Penturyb, Nini Adelina Tanamalc, English Education Department, Universitas Indraprasta PGRI, Indonesiaa,b,c

Most pedagogical approaches lay particular stress on inculcating knowledge while ignoring the significance of students’ learning skills, interests, attitudes and confidence. Therefore, most students consider English learning as examination-oriented. Humour and animation can accommodate learning styles and enhance students’ perceptions of the lesson being presented. Unfortunately, the fact is that the use of humour and animation in language teaching classes in our place does not draw enough attention. Thus, the new teaching and learning approach has not been widely applied. This study used both qualitative as well as quantitative methods to collect data. The qualitative methods included class observation, interviews, teaching material selection, analysis and animation video. The quantitative method focused on class project results. Sixty students of the English Education Department of Indraprastha PGRI Jakarta in their third semester 2019 were chosen in this study. The results of the survey clearly show that students’ projects, which were taught utilising humour and animation, achieved better results. The results were exposed to contextualised language through the implementation of fun in animation. It indicates that there are potential benefits involved in the application of this new learning and teaching methodology, that is can enrich students’ vocabularies, lead to an increase in comprehension of the contexts in animation, create new animation styles, and, therefore, more attention should be paid to this issue in the future.

Evaluation is the most crucial phase in tourism marketing, and tourists decide their preference based on information searches. Previous research has not established whether online information is a prominent consideration whereby it is essential in influencing a tourist's decisions. Research in tourism marketing is generally concerned with examining research using regression; however, an analysis of the essential factor that determines a tourist's desire is not less substantial. Conjoint analysis is a method to analyze factors that determine a tourist’s preference. Research results reveal that cost is the primary factor to a tourist when arranging a vacation. The blog is an essential source for tourists to attain online information. Another insight is that tourist tend to be loyal and enjoy heritage and cultural tourism.

Adhiatma Jodie Prasetyoa, Robert La Areb, aSwiss German University, Tangerang, Indonesia, Email: ajodie.prasetyo.jp@gmail.com, brobert.are@sgu.ac.id

Excellence is the absolute prerequisite in fine dining because the prices charged are necessarily high. Therefore, service error/service failure occurrence in dining operations tend to be avoided. However, a report states that 60% of restaurants fail within the first three years of their operation, and it was identified that service failure within the process was among the root causes. Therefore, to avoid customer dissatisfaction within an establishment, the implementation of a service recovery action is crucial to move customer dissatisfaction to satisfaction. The purpose of this research is to explore the correlation between service and customer loyalty as well as to explore ways or strategies in service recovery implementation that would effectively influence customer loyalty. The research findings reveal that slow/unavailable service, placement of incorrect orders, and product quality were identified as the most commonly occuring issue in service failure. At the same time, apologies, item replacement, and management intercession were the most popular recovery strategies leading to customer loyalty intention. The results of this study indicate that the recovery strategy has an impact of 42% on customer loyalty intention. Pages 682 to 692

The Impact of Perceived Value on Customer Loyalty: A Case Study of GrabFood Consumers

Chrissya, Esa T. Mbouwb, a,bSwiss German University, The Prominence Tower Alam Sutera, Tangerang, Indonesia, Email: achrissy@student.sgu.ac.id, besa.mbouw@sgu.ac.id

This research aims to identify the impact of perceived value on customer loyalty in the case study of GrabFood consumers in Jakarta. Perceived value is measured through customer-perceived benefits and sacrifices. The data was collected from 190 customers who have downloaded and used GrabFood. Multiple linear regressions were used to examine the collected data. The finding indicates that perceived value significantly impacts the loyalty of GrabFood customers. All indicators of perceived benefits impact customer loyalty, and the strongest influence on customer loyalty is perceived enjoyment, while the least is perceived money saving. Meanwhile, the quality risk becomes the only indicator of customer perceived sacrifices that impact customer loyalty. Perceived fee, delivery risk, and privacy risk are found to have no significant impact on customer loyalty. This study provides several suggestions for Grab Indonesia to enhance customer loyalty towards GrabFood by considering perceived benefits and sacrifices as determinants of perceived value.

Yosef Budi Susantoa, Sherly Caesaria Pratiwib, a,bUniversitas Multimedia Nusantara, Jl. Boulevard Gading Serpong, Tangerang, Indonesia, Email: absusanto@umn.ac.id, bgeovanny.sherly21@gmail.com

Many banks in Indonesia compete to provide a digital platform that is useful for conducting banking transactions by presenting mobile banking. To be able to compete, the presence of mobile banking must be able to build a good quality relationship with customers. BCA mobile banking (m-BCA) is a mobile banking service that comes from one of the largest banks in Indonesia. But field observation shows there are many complaints from m-BCA customers that can lead to discontinuation of using m-BCA. The study aims to determine the effect of Technology Readiness, Service Quality, and Perceived Risk that can affect Relationship Quality and provide implications for Continuance of Intention on m-BCA. The quantitative method is used in analysing this study, as well as collecting data by distributing questionnaires to 105 respondents. The data gathered is being examined by using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results in this study indicate that five proposed hypotheses have proven that there is a positive effect on continuance intention. Still, technology readiness isn't proven as a significant effect on perceived risk. Pages 720 to 734

In the travel industry, the existence of the open trip planner (OTP) is rapidly increasing. The amateur open trip planner needs a platform that is able to increase its sales and manage its participants. This thesis research objective is to develop a business analysis and design for an open trip planner online marketplace startup company. An in-depth interview was conducted with several business actors who are active in the travel industry to gain insights into the open trip planner industry to obtain business analysis and design. Based on the result of discussions, the smart business map that was already made earlier before the in-depth interview can be verified and revised, thus the business model canvas was also able to be concluded. Afterward, the development of a mock-up and prototype is needed to do an in-depth interview to gauge the usability of the prototype. Available features in this platform will include search, comparison, payment options for full payment and down payment, trip creation, and participant management. The result concludes that there are mixed responses regarding the needs of the marketplace for OTP. For more professional OTPs, a marketplace is only a ‘nice’ feature to have for their administrative works, while for amateur OTP a travel marketplace is needed to boost their sales, open new markets, and create a more natural way for them to manage the participants of their trips.

Ni Gusti Ayu Ekaa, Grace Solely Houghtyb, Juniartac, a,b,cFaculty of Nursing, Universitas Pelita Harapan, Email: agusti.eka@uph.edu, bgrace.houghty@uph.edu, cjuniarta.sinaga@uph.edu

Blended learning is expected to provide a better outcome than traditional face-to-face learning. This article aimed to assess the implementation of blended learning in a research and statistics course and its significant effect on students’ motivation and self-learning readiness after the intervention. The participants involved in this research were nursing students in the research and statistics course at the Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Pelita Harapan. Pre-experimental research was conducted by comparing the scores of the students’ academic motivation and self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) in pre-test and post-test. A total of 181 students were involved in the pre-test and 68 students in the post-test. The analysis result revealed that there was a significant change in the SDLR score, proven by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test analysis (Z -2.442, p-value 0.015, r -0.15). This research concluded that students’ SDLR scores were significantly lower in the post-test than in the pre-test. On the other hand, students’ academic motivation did not change statistically. It seems that blended learning affects students' SDLR but not their motivation. There is a further need to explore the benefits of blended learning, especially in nursing education.

Universities sit on a huge databank, from admission data, student academic data, to the alumni data. However, unlike the financial or telecommunication industries, universities often do not see it as critical to harness these data for strategic decisions. In this paper, we explore data analytics by visualisation to enable a data dashboard for strategic decision in the case of Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH). We perform initial interviews with selected deans and university leaders, then develop and present various academic data visualisations. Focus group discussions were then performed with deans and leaders to identify various ways they envision use of the data. The identified important indicators for the data dashboard include number of students, GPA, lecturer/student ratio, graduation time, class sizes, number of failing students, number of full time/part-time lecturers, and students’ feedback on lecturers. Some examples of GPA and admission data are presented in this paper to illustrate the potential usefulness of data analytics. In discussion with deans and university leadership, we found potential uses of data analytics to include: increasing admission numbers/quality, providing early warnings for failing students, optimising teaching process and utilisation of resources, and optimising the faculty workload. The success of learning analytics seems to involve the careful design of observation data into the learning settings. The usefulness of data analytics must be balanced with the awareness of its limitations, as was shown, e.g., by the case of Google Flu Trends (GFT). Availability of skilled data scientists, wisdom in institutional strategic decisions, and awareness of ethical issues involved with data analytics is becoming more important with the implementation of data analytics.

Firm Competitiveness and Firm Performance - The Impact of Alliance Formation in Early Stage Digital Start-ups

Prio Utomoa, Florentina Kurniasarib, a,bUniversitas Multimedia Nusantara, Tangerang, Indonesia, Email: aprio.utomo@umn.ac.id, bflorentina@umn.ac.id

The quality of digital start-ups' entrepreneurial activities is essential for the wealth of the nation. The digital start-up, as with other small and medium enterprises, is known to have limitations in assets, processes, and knowledge for them to compete and have a sustainable business. This study provides an initial view of how these start-ups deal with this limitation through alliances by understanding the diversity and characteristics of alliance formation, and how it is impacting their competitiveness and performance. The analysis of responses from 103 start-ups using the structural equation model (SEM) shows that alliance formation in the early stage of digital start-ups has a positive and significant impact on both firm competitiveness and performance through the view of the alliance’s functionality, structure, and attribute.

Barry Gustaaf Hethariaa, Yosman Bustamanb, Antonius Siahaanc, a,b,cSwiss German University, Tangerang, Indonesia, Email: ahetharia@gmail.com, bjbustaman@gmail.com, cantonius.siahaan@yahoo.com

The objective of this research is to examine the Indonesian banking industry diversification strategy towards efficiency from 2014 – 2018. The present study aims to measure banks’ effectiveness as financial intermediaries with income diversification, loan diversification, and technology diversification as dependent variables, with return on assets, non-performing loan ratio, loan to deposit ratio, and bank size as control variables. To measure the firms' efficiency, this research uses a non-parametric measurement called data envelopment analysis input-oriented method. Two models are being used: constant return to scale (CRS) and variable return to scale (VRS). For measuring diversification, this research will use the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index to find the relationship between firms' efficiency, firm diversification strategy, and the control variables. This research will use panel data regression. Finally, the result of this research is Indonesian banking efficiency has not increased every year, and only loan diversification seems to affect efficiency significantly. This research suggests that firms should consider diversifying their loan distribution to get a maximum performance efficiency result. Pages 789 to 802

The Impact of Brand Activation on Customer Trust: an Investigation of Brand XYZ’s Brand Activation

Nickalis Ramadhana, Nila K. Hidayatb, a,bSwiss German University, Tangerang, Indonesia, Email: aNickalis.ramadhan@gmail.com, bNila.hidayat@sgu.ac.id

Customer trust is one of the aspects that lead customers to keep buying a brand’s product. A decrease in customer trust would cause people to leave the brand. Brand XYZ is experiencing a decrease in customer trust, and with today’s fierce competition between fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands, brands are forced to figure out new marketing campaigns, usually ones with direct customer engagement such as brand activation. Brand XYZ used a brand activation strategy in the form of an event to increase customer trust towards their brand. To see the results and significance of this strategy implemented by the company, this research created a model to measure the impact of brand activation on customer trust for Brand XYZ’s brand activation event. The result of this study suggests that brand activation has a significant impact towards increasing customer trust. Theoretical implications and further recommendations made are based on the findings of this study. Pages 813 to 824

Firm Information Quality and The Cost of Equity Capital in Indonesia

William Tjonga, Devika Clarab, a,bUniversitas Pelita Harapan, Email: aWilliam.tjong@uph.edu

The purpose of this research is to analyse the effect of firm information quality, which is known by calculating the ratio of firm stock return and firm earnings growth on the cost of equity capital in Indonesia. The sample consists of Indonesian firms through the years 2003 until 2015. The measure used for the proxy of firm-specific information is by seeing the firm information quality from the stock return and stock earnings. We are using an unbalanced panel data regression after including some control variables (capital asset pricing model beta and the firm age). The findings of this research conclude that the firm-specific information (ratio of firm stock return and firm earnings growth) has no significant effect on the cost of equity capital in Indonesia from 2003-2015. This is different from the hypothesis that firm specific information has a significant negative impact on the cost of equity capital. Pages 825 to 838

This study aims to examine the influence of public service values, especially ethical values, professional values, democratic values and humanity values, partially and simultaneously on organisational commitment to implement the program of community economic empowerment in Kupang City. Study subjects consist of public officials working as public service providers of the municipal government of Kupang as well as the implementers of the program. They amount to 88 who were chosen purposively. This study used descriptive statistics and regression models to analyse data collected from questionnaires. The findings imply that the study subjects perform very high ethical values in terms of loyalty and respect, humanity values in terms of benevolence, and organisational commitment in terms of affective, continuance and normative commitment in implementing the program. It also reveals that ethical values, professional values, democratic values, and humanity values partially and simultaneously have a positive influence but not so significant on organisational commitment to implement the program. Although the simultaneous impact of these values on organisational commitment to implement the program is still not substantial, it is better than the partial influence. Therefore, an increased  use of these values simultaneously is required because it can better generate organisational commitment to implement the program in Kupang City. Pages 968 to 981

Notional Interest Deduction Regime in Belgium: What Indonesia Should Learn to Design the CFC Regulation?

Russel Butarbutara, aFaculty of Law, University of Indonesia, Depok, 16424 West Java, Indonesia, Email: arusselbutar@gmail.com

This study used qualitative research and comparative study of NID regimes. It was found that the application of NID regimes has reduced the effective tax rate and allowed companies to strengthen their capital structure with the added benefit of tax-deductible interest costs. However, the existing CFC rules are not enough to ward off the NID Regimes abuses of the MNEs group. Therefore, Indonesia in the formulation of CFC Rules must consider aspects that can limit excessive claims related to the reduction of notional interest on equity. This includes limiting regulable deduction, acquisition of business operations, contributions or transfers of participation between related parties executed for resulting in a higher notional interest deduction in equity, an internationally coordinated interest rate reduction and royalty reduction, a reverse tax credit, withholding tax on all interest and royalty payments, withholding tax as an anti-tax-avoidance regulation.

It is the truth that most men are the breadwinner in nearly all family systems across the world. Breadwinner husband becomes an essential factor in marriage. However, the fact is men’s health outcomes continue to be substantially worse than women’s. Overweight and obesity constitute a major risk factor for most major Non-Communicable Diseases (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer). Considering an early onset of obesity is potentially facing the high cumulative incidence of several diseases, also preventing the initial stage is much better, it would be very best to call out all the healthy stakeholders to figure out what factors influencing young men to intent to take food and physical exercise to change the young men's behavioral risk factors (unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity). A qualitative methodology was undertaken in a sample of the male who domiciled in Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi) Indonesia yet had a job or went to school in Jakarta, who had the Body Mass Index (BMI) overweight, obese, also normal, and aged between 18 years old and 29 years old. This research used quota sampling with in-depth interviews due to the sensitivity of the case. Interviewees were approached in some Jakarta malls using means of purposeful sampling strategy. The total of the respondents was 40 interviewees. Thematic analysis was used to gain insights. The empirical results indicate that the underlying factors of the intention to participate in a diet and physical exercise are composed of seven elements, and they are labeled as health perception, body image, perceived severity, perceived health benefit, self-esteem, social media usefulness, and perceived barrier.

This research explored the condition of foreign direct investment in Indonesia. The contribution is still relatively low to the growth rate of the Indonesian economy. With the Taylor Rule model, the analysis of monetary policy was done to decide the choice of policy which one was the right one relating to increasing the role of foreign investment. Based on impulse response and variance decomposition analysis, we found that the fluctuation of interest rate has the most influence on foreign investment besides inflation rate, exchange rate, and FDI itself. Such that, the interest rule which decides the targeted interest rate as the final target policy, is the most favourable policy that supports the role of Foreign Direct Investment in Indonesia.

Timor Island has several sub-ethnic groups, each with its territory, history of origin and mother tongue. The subjective culture of each ethnic group is the root of stereotype-filled ethnic expression, prejudice, ethnocentrism, and discrimination. Qualitative research with an ethnographic approach involves 60 informants on Timor. Data is obtained via observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with content analysis techniques. The result found subjective cultural attribution tends to encourage close-minded thinking, suspicion, and jealousy, and mythical and egocentric beliefs. The association of ethnic groups' subjective cultural relations is influenced by in-group and out-group self-esteem. The satisfaction of in-group-out-group self-esteem needs is not immediately expressed because of fear of the mythic-magical threat and Kakaluk. It is reduced to a secure physical self that is towards the Lower Order of Needs Level. Therefore, the intervention model of subjective culture innovation must be physiological and focus on efforts to fulfil secure in-group and out-group self. Pages 1211 to 1225

Middle School Students’ Different Conceptions of the Equal Sign: Case study of Indonesian Students

Reni Wahyunia, Tatang Hermanb, Siti Fatimahc, a,b,cUniversitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Bandung, Indonesia, Email: areniwahyuni.2017@upi.edu, btatangherman@upi.edu, csitifatimah@upi.edu

This paper reveals results from a written assessment given to 168 students in grade seven at middle schools in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. The authors discuss the students’ response when given equation problems addressing their interpretation of the equal sign. The authors find that there are four kinds of misinterpretation in solving equation problems. The evidence of this study led to students’ views in the operational rather than the relational aspect. Although students have begun to learn introductory algebra, they are usually doing calculations from left to right side, as operational, rather than doing structural relations. This also indicates that the students havea lack of understanding of the meaning of the equal sign. Furthermore, it is a base for the students to learn algebra and a vital contribution to early algebra experiences in middle school. Pages 1226 to 1238
