Efforts to Revitalize the Computer Science Education in ThailandIJERA Editor
The shortage of ICT professionals in Thai workforce has been appeared in spite of many ICT-related programs
offering in universities across Thailand. The statistics show that a promoting of new ICT-related programs,
modified by CS program, is stealing students from CS program. Thus, CS enrollment decline as well as
students’ dropping outs are problems facing in every Thai universities. This paper reports on a study in which
10 people who are the representative of ICT graduates’ users were interviewed and 702 freshmen who took in
the introductory computer course were surveyed to try to determine the relationship of CS enrollment and ICT
professionals and the factors contributing to decline in CS enrollments. The results revealed that most of ICT
professionals were developed from CS background. The top reasons for rejecting the CS major, were its’
difficulties and students’ desire to use IT as an application, instead of a construction. These were their weakness
in programming and technical work, but the reasons for choosing the CS major were opposite. Finally, this
paper proposes a revitalization of the CS education framework to reverse the trend of CS enrollment decline.
Applying Educational Technology to Higher Education in Vietnam Opportunities ...ijtsrd
Industry 4.0 is happening at a very fast pace, with many impacts on Vietnamese education, both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, big programs such as investing in modern infrastructure, information technology and communication training people who are dynamic, independent, creative, capable of integrating well to start their businesses are becoming urgent requirements to develop countries. In particular, training labor force to meet the requirements of development and integration of the society is at the heart of development strategies that every country must pay attention to. Therefore, higher education is more and more focused and improved in Vietnam these days. This paper discusses educational technology that has been applied in Dong Nai Technology University DNTU , which is known as one of prestigious universities in the south of Vietnam. It is expected that innovations in educational technology would facilitate students to develop themselves and make a great contribution of human resources to the society although those innovations have brought opportunities and challenges to Vietnamese universities in general and to DNTU in particular. The authors also propose recommendations to Vietnamese policy makers in terms of higher education.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of computer implementation on administration use in public secondary schools in Nyamira North District.t. The objectives of this study were to; determine how computers were utilized, determine how the impact of computers was rated among the principals; HODs (Head of Department) bursars and librarians. The study utilized descriptive survey design. The researcher used four tools for data collection: principals’, HOD’s, Bursar’s and librarians’ questionnaire. The target population was 40 public secondary schools from where a sample of 12 schools was purposively obtained. The data were collected by the researcher by administering the tools himself. The data analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences) and Chi-square was used to determine the level of significance of the impact of computer. The study found that only two schools in Nyamira North use computers in accounts offices and the library. It was also found that all management offices were inadequately prepared in use of computer skills. In the principals’ offices, it was found that computers were mainly used for clerical jobs such as typing letters. Bursars used the computers to receive fees, pay vouchers, and prepare budgets and balance sheets. Librarians used computers to issue books, receive books, trace books and locate them on the shelves. The impact of computers were found to be great because they made work easier as they could detect and correct errors, store large volumes of work, edit documents and produce accurate reports. In accounts, computers had a great impact by availing up to date records and speeded work. In the library computers have a great impact in tracing books on loan, receiving and issuing books and locating books on the shelves hence guarding against loss of books?

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.

transparency, namely the ability of information systems to create copies of the physical world
virtually; 3) Technical assistance, namely the ability of the assistance system to help humans;
and 4) Independent decision, namely the ability of the cyber-physical system to make their
own decisions and carry out independent tasks as possible (Wikipedia, 2018.).
However, at present human resources in facing I4.0 are not ready to the maximum. This is
because there is no standard competency model to deal with it. In fact, a literature review
shows that research on I4.0 competence is rather rare. The work analyzed mostly underlines
that the work environment will change, but there is no concrete vision or proposed
competency model (Prifti et al., 2017). Therefore, a competency model is needed to deal with
this I4.0. At present, many schools or colleges are trying to prepare their graduates to face
I4.0. One such school is The School of Engineering Practice Technology (SEPT) at McMaster
University which is working to train the next generation of engineers who are ready to work
in Industry 4.0. They have developed equipment to teach technology that supports Industry
4.0, namely first teaching machine-to-machine communication (M2M), while the second is
used to teach system control and automation data access (Wanyama et al., 2018).
Learning challenges faced in the I4.0 era must be able to be answered by the learning
trends of this century which are better known as 21st century learning terms. 21st century
education requires a change in the educational model in the future, namely: the learning
process: from teacher-centered to learner-centered (Zubaidah, 2016), from isolation to a
networking environment, from passive to active investigating, from virtual / abstract to real
world contexts from personal to team-based learning, from broad to distinctive behaviors
empowering the rules of attachment, from single-sense stimulation to stimulation in all
directions, from a single tool to a multimedia tool, from a one-way relationship shifting to
cooperative, from mass production to customer needs, from single conscious effort toward
plural, and from one science shifts to plural disciplinary knowledge (BSNP, 2010). If learning
is related to I4.0, then in addition to changing the educational model, it also requires several
skills such as critical thinking skills, digital literacy skills and knowledge, information
literacy, media literacy and mastering information and communication technology (ICT)
(Frydenberg and Andone, 2011).
Mastery of ICT is an absolute thing in the I4.0 era. The presence of ICT is very beneficial
for all aspects of human life, especially in the world of education, in addition to practical uses
(Betaubun, 2018; Betaubun and Betaubun, 2018; Ludang and Mangkoedihardjo, 2009; Utama
et al., 2018; Waremra and Bahri, 2018). ICT includes many technologies that allow us to
receive information and communicate or exchange information with others, with devices and
functions for capturing, interpreting, storing, and transmitting information (Anderson, 2010).
However, there are things that need to be considered that the use of ICTs must be maintained
so as to keep students from becoming human beings with character and intellectual
intelligence and empowering educators and related education personnel (Madya, 2011).
Empowerment of educators and education personnel, especially teachers is very important
to do. As a professional, the success of the teacher lies in the ability to communicate and use
information to solve complex problems, be able to adapt and innovate in response to new
demands and changing circumstances, and expanding the power of technology to create new
knowledge (Binkley et al., 2012). One of the best ways that can be done to equip teachers
with ICT knowledge is when attending one-level education as a teacher candidate. A teacher
candidate who has problems with internet use is an indicator of problems they may experience
in the future in teaching their students so they cannot present a good model (Kalalo, 2018;
Tutgun et al., 2011).
A teacher who fails in learning will certainly give birth to a generation that fails in the
future. Therefore, students as prospective teachers must be educated since college. To provide
3. Skills for the Use of Information and Communication Technology Prospective Physics Teachers

http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 30 editor@iaeme.com
the right action for the prospective teacher, it is necessary to have data about the level of
ability in using ICT. Therefore, researchers conducted research on the ability of ICT physics
teacher candidates in the face of revolutionary I4.0 era learning. The measurement of the
ability of ICT students refers to the standard of the use of ICT which is formulated by
Glascow Caldeonian University in the UK which consists of: 1) the basics of computer /
network use; 2) electronic mail (e-mail); 3) word processing; 4) information search; 5) basics
of work sheets; and 6) the ability to integrate various IT applications (Imran, 2010).
2. METHODOLOGY
This research is a descriptive study that describes the ability of ICT students of physics
teacher candidates. This research was conducted at the Department of Physics Education,
Musamus University with a sample of 52 people from 4 generations (semester 1 - 7). Data
collection instruments used were questionnaires. The statement used in the rating scale to
determine the response of respondents is a Likert scale. The guide to scoring a Likert scale
can be seen in Table 1.

Figure 3 Student's ICT Ability Based on Semester Levels
3.2. Discussion
This research is a research describing the ability of ICTs owned by students as candidates for
physics teachers in the face of I4.0. Previous research shows that students' technological
abilities are relatively low (Supriyadi et al., 2018). However, this study does not measure
students' technological capabilities in detail, but in general. The results of the study show that
students have a high ability in using computers / networks, word processing, and worksheets.
High ability to use computer / network aspects is a natural thing. This can be seen from the
highest percentage, which is 88% in indicators of data management capabilities such as creating,
storing, opening and closing files. This ability is a very basic ability that must be possessed, especially
by a student as a prospective teacher. In the I4.0 era, it was hoped that this most basic ability could be
completed considering there were still students who had not mastered this skill.
In addition, word processing is also a capability that has a high percentage. In this aspect,
the indicator that is most controlled by students is the ability to replace the margin of paper
used in a document worksheet. Although this ability looks very simple, it is very influential in
working on a document with a limited number of pages. This is seen in some students when
given assignments that have not been able to make margins according to the format given.
Word processing in general is one of the skills needed in today's learning. To create a digital
teaching material, of course it must be done through the MS Word worksheet. Related to
digital teaching materials, researchers have tested the results of the development of a
computer-based teaching material. One of the things that researchers saw in the development
trial was the ability of students to use digital teaching materials (Bahri et al., 2017).
Worksheets are also one aspect that is very much controlled by students. In this aspect, the
ability to enter, edit, and format data. This ability is also the most basic ability in the
worksheet aspect. To enter a data into a worksheet, be careful. An incorrect entry of data can
result in incorrect data processing. Missing data that is wrong certainly requires improvement
so that the ability to edit is also very important to be owned by students. Associated with
learning in this all-digital era of I4.0, of course this skill is very useful in evaluating internet-
based learning.
However, until now students in general still have problems in integrating various IT
applications. The lowest indicator of ICT capability is the ability to use multiple IT
applications at the same time. This is a natural thing if you see the development of the internet
network in the city of Merauke, especially in the campus environment which has been
facilitated 24 hours. Lately, students have started diligently to learn to use the internet, either

through computers available in majors, personal laptops, notebooks, or smartphones they
have. This is certainly a positive step that must be supported and needs to be developed
continuously.
If viewed from the semester level of students, 1st semester students have the lowest level
of ICT mastery among all generations. However, this generation has been skilled in the use of
computers / networks. Meanwhile, this generation has not been able to use email. If studied
further and based on this research, this is a natural thing for them. There are several factors
that influence this. Students of the Department of Physics Education are not all from within
the city of Merauke, but also come from regions that are not yet touched by technological
progress. Therefore, students from this region are still unfamiliar with ICTs, especially if they
have to send electronic mail. In addition, they rarely use e-mail, except for social media or
even some who don't know about e-mail at all. In general, the campus has provided solutions
to the ICT problems faced by these students, namely through the Basic Computer courses
held in semester 1.
The results of the study showed that students of 5 meters had the highest ICT ability. If
the reason that 1st semester students have low ability because they are new to ICT, then the
question will arise: why not 7th semester students who have the highest ability? The answer is
because when they were between semester 1-5, the lecturers who taught at the Department of
Physics Education were incomplete. This makes lecturers teach many courses that have an
impact on the delivery of print-based tasks.
The highest ability in this semester is the same as the ability of students in general,
namely the basic ability of computers and networks. However, the lowest aspect of this
generation is information seeking. So, even though they have mastered ICT in general, they
are still weak in ICT literacy. Whereas in the era of I4.0, the old literacy movement that only
focused on improving the ability to read, write and count (mathematics) had to be replaced
with a new literacy movement focused on 3 main literacy, namely data / digital literacy,
technology literacy, and human literacy (Yahya, 2018; Aoun, 2017; Suwardana, 2017). This
weakness for students is not a big problem for them or the lecturers because of the support of
adequate campus facilities and departments. Students only need direction and guidance so
they can complete their studies and become professional teachers with high ICT mastery.
Thus, of course the student can be said to be able to follow 21st century learning trends and
not be left behind in I4.0.
4. CONCLUSIONS
The level of ability to use ICT by students of the Department of Physics Education reaches
76.4%. This percentage is included in the skilled category so that it can be said that students
of the Department of Physics have been skilled in the use of ICTs and are ready to follow the
development of I4.0 and 21st century learning trends. especially in the Department of Physics
Education. In addition, the department has also prepared a computer that can be used by
physics students.
During this time, basic computer courses have been running so as to contribute to the
development of students' ICT capabilities. However, seeing the rapid development of ICT, so
researchers gave suggestions related to this research. The advice is devoted to policy makers
to provide special training to students related to mastering ICT skills. Besides students,
actually lecturers are far more important to develop this skill because they are the ones who
will print future teacher candidates.
