    IT-BASED TEACHER - STUDENT INTERACTION : A Way to Enchance Students' Learning
    (The 3rd International Conference on Applied Linguistics (CONAPLIN 3), 2 Agustus 2010) Zuraida, Ida
    Information technology grows rapidly. Its accessibility has reached different levels of ages and scopes of life, including students learning English in universities. Students are generally familiar with technology because it now comes in handy. They can easily connect to the internet by using their cell phones or portable laptops or netbooks through wifies or modems. Warschauer (1996 : 175) writes “Research to date suggest that on-line learning activities are generally quite motivating for language learner ...”. This should wisely be directed to self-learning—they can be made to visit sites where English materials can be accessed to enrich their aspects of English language. They can also be assigned to contact their teacher to report on their work, to ask questions, and submit their work. Therefore, teaching-learning process can be extended outside the classroom. This may give students more time and freedom to learn and choose topics they think essential for their further exploration. This may lead to students’ learning autonomy and eventually may lead to better learning outcome. Based on the above points, this paper will successively discuss: 1. the need to apply IT in teaching English, 2. observed problems encountered by both teachers and students, and 3. proposed solutions to enhance students’ learning outcome.

    As educational institutions for the development of human resources and as agents of societal change, universities need to pay critical pay attention to their human resources particularly lecturers. many education experts, such as Richard 1. Miller Edward Sallis and Higino Ables stated that the lecturer is one of the vital elements of the education system. Hence, the lecturer is required to have the competencies that can achieve the high quality working standard, that would in turn enhance and improve the overall university-wide quality standing and thus its image. The investigation reported in this paper from research is based on the human resources management approach of competencies evaluation. It used the standard competencies method advocated by spencer & spencer (1993) to observe differences in competencies between lectures that are considered to have superior against those who are considered to have average performances in their teaching learning. The research argues that knowing these differences will lead to identifying the improvements needed; the further training required and assists in the human resources functions of selecting academic staff and predicting specific improvements needed. From gap competencies between Superior Performer and Average Performer could form behavior template for improve that lecturers performance. This study use Competencies model by Spencer & Spencer (1993), which is grouping lecturers as Helping and Human Service Workers. The study method used is survey with competency questionnaire to get primary data. The lecturers with superior performer are distinguished from lecturers with average performer depend on the result of performance appraisal from their university. From the result of the research shows that differentiating competency between the superior performer and average performer lecturers are Achievement Orientation, lnitia tive, Interpersonal Understanding, Costumer Service Orientation, Developing Others, Analytical Thinking, Conceptual Thinking, Expertise/ Professionalism, SelfConfidence, and Organizational Commitment. Those differentiating competence factors are used as guideline to obtain the progress of the performance of the lecturers in teaching learning process and the guideline for lecturer training on increasing their performance in teaching-learning process. Superior-competenced-Iecturer in teaching learning process at IS09001 :2000 Certified Widyatama University is generally identified by being competenced and accomplishing: Planning and implementing teaching learning process with quality objective of uruversity and the system wluch is already decided by the university, identifying the abili ty of the students earlier to adjust the subject to teach, keeping on developing the quality 1 of the material.

    (Konferensi Internasional SEAAIR 2004, 2004-09-21) Meliala, Janita
    Globalization, new technology and infonnation movement are forces in this new millennium that are causing finns to examine their culture, structure, and system for flexibility and adaptability. We need innovation and entrepreneurial thinking as an essential element to face it. It's important for the entrepreneur to be able to read the technological map, predict technological trend, and act efficiently. University as a center of education research that produces technology has a big potential for creating entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurial university is being developed to nurture the student intuition and analytical capability. The product of entrepreneurial university is graduates who excel in three dimensions: as a professional/technician, as a manager, and as an entrepreneur. Beside that, the idea of entrepreneurial university is linked to technology transfer-establishing closer links between university research, on the one hand, and industry and commerce on the other. This paper uses a case study methodology to explore the current practices of the entrepreneurial university in Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Indonesia. ITB is one of the first universities to adapt the entrepreneurial university spirit by having the business Incubator center as an important element to encourage the process of establishing new enterprises based on various competencies in ITB by; 1) facilitating the implementation of technology and commercialization, 2) building innovative and ethical enterprises which contribute to the community, 3) improving expertise and facilities utilization and to create a synergy among institutions to support the two points before. The Business incubator center at ITB (PlB-ITB) faces challenges such as increasing awareness about the business incubator center there and a good system to support the tenants. PIB-ITB as a capable medium has to create entrepreneurs. In this way, it can therefore support the entrepreneurial university. To make the entrepreneurial university successful requires creativity within its membership and support from the head of the upjversity.

    THE ROLE OF GALLERY OF STOCK AND COMMODITY EXCHANGE IN BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THE INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIES
    (2005-09-14) Meliala, Janita S; Wijaya, Rafael G. Aida
    Capital market has a significant value in economic development. Investment activities in the stock market in Indonesia are still in preliminary stage and have not reached the intended objectives. One of the problems is the lack of information and lack of knowledge in the society. This was caused by the limitation of Knowledge dissemination from the stock market itself. The academies seem not ready to face the fast changing industry. It is proved by the curriculum that focuses mainly to the conservative economic knowledge such as banking or insurance. This caused a gap in competence between industry into expectation and academic perception. One of the many programs that could bridge the gap is to bring the industry into campus, such as having gallery of stock and commodity exchange, which facilitates the students to have knowledge and practical skills. To do continuous quality advancement, it is important to evaluate whether our programs in the stock and commodity exchange corner at Widyatama University (active 2004) could raise the knowledge and practical skills of our students who are actively involved in it and who are not. And describe whether the programs in the stock and commodity corner could sufficiently give value added to the students.

    (Indonesian Family Business Network, IEFBA dan Universitas Widyatama, 2006-11-20) Novianto, Robertus Ary; Faustine, Petrina
    Family business' important role in Indonesian economy, has been calculated as 82,44% of 165, 000 medium and small enterprises registered in the statistical census in 1996 (Faustine, 2001). It has been also predicted that most of the large companies which have turned into multi-national corporation, were previously started as small family owned businesses. Among those family owned businesses, several of them could not sustain into generations. Many factors can be the triggers of this condition, one among many is information risk. An example for information risk is: unregistered transaction, which causes difficulties when correct information is retrieved. Another form of information risk is: Inaccurate registration of transactions. In most cases, it is the result of trusting family business members without any further control or blind-trust. This condition will lead to difficulties in auditing for managing the company. Correct data are crucialfor control tools in any companies activities or processes This paper revealed a true discontinuity case offamily business, which could be avoided should the family business members realized the importance ofhaving Certified Public Accountant.
