Improving Mathematical Competence of Prospective Police Non-Commissioned Officer Students at the Socrates Learning House
Keywords:
Mathematical competence, Psichological testAbstract
The low mathematical competence of students was one of the problems faced by students in educational units, including at the Socrates Learning House. Various strategies had been carried out by institutions to optimize this competence, one of which was collaborating with universities to improve students’ mathematical competence. The implementation of community service activities in the form of training then became one of the quite relevant solutions. The training activity was attended by ten prospective students (17–20 years old and all male) with three teachers (5–10 years of teaching experience and all male) who served as their companions during the training activity. The success rate of the community service activity was measured by ensuring that 80% of prospective students passed the 2024 Police NCO psychological test. The training activity was conducted over three months. The result of this activity was that 100% of prospective students passed the psychological test with a minimum score of 67 and a maximum score of 83. However, future community service was expected to produce output in the form of a book that could be used by prospective students and teachers as a reference to pass the Police selection.
