Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh penerapan kurikulum yang telah berjalan selama dua tahun dan belum semua sekolah menerapkan kurikulum ini pada semua tingkatan kelas sehingga diperlukan adaptasi pada tingkatan kelas yang baru diterapkan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan kesiapan dan hasil belajar siswa pada Kurikulum Merdeka. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif yang diperoleh dari data angket dan hasil tes. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa Kelas VII, sedangkan instrumen penelitian menggunakan lembar wawancara, observasi dan angket. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kesiapan siswa dalam menerapkan Kurikulum Mandiri belum optimal dengan persentase respon positif dari angket masih dibawah 50%. Hasil belajar kedua kelas yang diamati menunjukkan rata-rata penilaian formatif sebesar 62,85 dan 67,63 sehingga dapat dikatakan hasil belajar tersebut belum memenuhi nilai ketuntasan belajar minimal. Abstract: This research is motivated by the implementation of the curriculum which has been ongoing for two years and not all schools have implemented this curriculum at all grade levels so adaptation is needed for the newly implemented grade levels. The aim of this research is to describe students' readiness and learning outcomes in the Merdeka Curriculum. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach obtained from questionnaire data and test results. The research subjects were Class VII students, while the research instruments used interview sheets, observations and questionnaires. The research results show that students' readiness to implement the Independent Curriculum is not optimal with the percentage of positive responses from the questionnaire still below 50%. The learning results of the two classes observed showed an average formative assessment of 62.85 and 67.63, so it can be said that the learning results did not meet the minimum learning completeness value.

Abstract Background Interprofessional education (IPE) is expected to help prepare undergraduate health profession students to collaborate with other healthcare professionals in realising quality of care. Studies stress the necessity of students’ readiness for interprofessional learning (IPL) in view of designing IPE programs. The present study aims to determine students' IPL-readiness and looks at related differences in students enrolled in different programs and at different phases in their educational program. Methods A cross-sectional survey study was set up among 1139 students from six health programs at HueUMP, using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal–Wallis H and Mann–Whitney U tests. Results The overall mean RIPLS score was 68.89. RIPLS scores significantly differed between programs and between phases in the educational programs. Medical students presented a lower readiness level for IPL than students from other programs. In contrast to a significant increase in RIPLS scores of students in the clinical phase in Vietnamese traditional medicine, medicine, and pharmacy, a decrease in RIPLS scores was observed in students in the clinical phase in odonto-stomatology. Conclusions The differences could be related to differences in educational programs and the study phases in a particular program. These results offer insights to direct the design and implementation of IPE in health education curricula and especially underscore the need to provide IPE throughout the curriculum.

Introduction: The global COVID-19 pandemic had greatly affected the delivery of medical education, where institutions had to convert to remote learning almost immediately. This study aimed to measure undergraduate medical students’ readiness and factors associated with readiness for remote learning. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted amongst undergraduate medical students using the Blended Learning Readiness Engagement Questionnaire, during the pandemic where lessons had to be delivered fully online in 2020. Results: 329 students participated in the study. Mean scores for remote learning readiness were 3.61/4.00 (technology availability), 3.60 (technology skills), 3.50 (technology usage), 3.35 (computer and internet efficacy), and 3.03 (self-directed learning). Male students appeared more ready for remote learning than females, in the dimensions of self-directed learning and computer and internet efficacy. Students in the pre-clinical years showed a lower level of readiness in the technology availability domain compared to clinical students. The lowest score however was in the self-directed learning dimension regardless of the students’ year of studies. Conclusion: The pandemic had created a paradigm shift in the delivery of the medical program which is likely to remain despite resumption of daily activities post-pandemic. Support for student readiness in transition from instructor-driven learning models to self-directed learning models is crucial and requires attention by institutions of higher learning. Exploring methods to improve self-directed learning and increase availability of technology and conducting sessions to improve computer and internet efficacy can be considered in the early stages of pre-clinical years to ensure equitable access for all students.

The Computer-Based National Assessment (ANBK) is a government program that aims to map the education quality of primary and secondary school in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to find out: (1) a description of the student’s readiness in facing the ANBK, (2) what factors were the obstacles for student in preparation for ANBK. This type of research is qualitative research with a case study approach regarding the student’s readiness Utara in facing ANBK. Preparations made by students in facing ANBK include participating in the socialization carried out by teachers who serve as proctors and technicians. Then students participating in computer use training accompanied by teachers which are carried out after school. During this training the teacher provides motivational support to students to stay motivated, enthusiastic, and not worried in facing ANBK There are several obstacles to students' readiness to face ANBK, namely students have low technological literacy, limited available computer equipment, limited power sources as a resource for using computer equipment, and limited internet networks causing students to not be able to participate in simulations on the ANBK website. Although accompanied by obstacles during the preparation process, students have good readiness to participate in the implementation of ANBK, this can be proven by the implementation of ANBK well.

Introduction: Parallel with the development of information and communication technology, a new approach to learning has emerged, namely. Administering e-learning at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences as one of the objectives of the strategic plan of the educational assistantship requires extensive study for the presence of students in the e-learning contexts. This study endeavored to examine the readiness of students at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in relation to e-learning. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the academic year 2018; 412 students were selected from the 6079 students of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences using Cochran formula. Data was gathered through a researcher-made questionnaire as available sampling. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the professors of the Department of Health Information Management and Technology. The reliability of the questionnaire was computed through Cronbach's alpha coefficient r= 0.93. To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation) were used. Results: Results revealed that most of the e-learning factors had significant differences among the different levels (P≤0.05). Students' experiences of participation in e-learning were important factor; however, time management was the least important factor. Information and communication technology skills factors had the highest positive correlation with learning ability (r=0.623), learning habits with learning ability (r=0.654), and motivation with e-learning usefulness (r=0.660). Conclusion: This study can be used as a guideline for Isfahan University of Medical Sciences to invest in time management and incentives for low-level e-learning before implementing the courses electronically and to address the barriers and administer e-learning.
