The application of indonesian qualification framework review in studies on nutrition

Abstract: 

In Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF) consists of 9 levels of competence. The 8th level of IQF is equivalent  to  Master  degree,  and  the  9th   level  of IQF  is  equivalent  to  Doctoral  degree.  Their competences are 1) to develop scientific knowledge producing innovative work for Master degree, and original or creative work for Doctoral degree; and 2)  to solve the problem of science through inter  or  multi  discipline  for  Master  degree,  and  inter,  multi  and  trans-discipline  for  Doctoral degree.` The objective of this review is to identify how far the results of several studies on nutrition published in Scientific Journal describe the competence of authors in the application of the 8th and /or 9th levels of IQF. To fulfill the competence, the author should conduct systematic study in term of the red line namely continuation of thinking  starting  from  title,  objective,  methods (type of design, population and sample, and data analysis), results, discussion on quality and accuracy of data, causal relationship, implication, conclusion of study followed  by recommendation and suggestion. The implication uses the result of causal relationship directed to conclusion and recommendation. Conclusion contains development of knowledge, while recommendation contains how to solve the finding problems. Based on the recommendation, suggestion is formulated through inter, multi discipline producing innovative  work  for  Master   degree,   and   through   inter,   multi   and   trans   discipline producing creative & original work for Doctor degree. Nine studies on nutrition published in scientific journal were reviewed; the results of study are as follows: 1) most design types of study are based on objective of study; 2) some studies without statement of population and no calculation of sample size; 3) Some studies do not use analysis one variable, two variables and multi variables; 4) there was no discussion on quality and accuracy of data, causal relationship and implication of study. As a conclusion, IQF has not been applied  fully,  because  of  problem  in  the  red  line  of  research  methods,  which  link  to  IQF. Hopefully,  the  authors  are  stimulated  to  attempt  how  they  have competence according to the 8th and 9th levels of IQF.
