The change in life continues to change quickly. The 4.0 industry has been examined, marking a development in IT, including the Internet, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Everyone was not distinguished from technology by the development of IT in the 21st century. Different opinions from various parties to online learning come from face-to-face shifting paradigms. This sort of learning paradigm has multiple advantages and disadvantages to reach the aim of learning itself. This study seeks to assess the perspective of learners of online learning in this context in a COVID-19 pandemic. The study focuses on students of the English conversation of Akademi Maritim Nusantara Cilacap. The instruments used are semi-structured interviews. The researcher asked the students about the Covid-19 outbreak via the WhatsApp service. The research design employed in this research was a case study. The online study is unbelievably advantageous in the heart of the pandemic. AMN Cilacap has selected the Google Classroom Service as its Learning Management System. They will receive new terminology, knowledge, and technical skills. Thus, when they graduate in the future, students will no longer have problems using their primary app for education. Online learning is more effective than offline learning for a particular objective, information, skills, and students. Combining the benefit of online and offline teaching approaches known as combined learning will help overcome the potential limitations of online learning in the professional school of AMN Cilacap. But a mix of online and offline learning, notwithstanding the volatility of online, may be the best option to maximize its worth.

According to the School Nutrition Association, nearly 100,000 schools serve free or reduced school lunches and breakfasts daily to approximately 34. 34 million students nationwide. However, as COVID-19 forced many schools to close, students who depended on the public schools to meet the majority of their nutritional needs faced an even larger battle with food insecurity. Recognizing this unmet need, and that food insecurity was intertwined with other needs within the community, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and its satellite contemporary art space the Momentary, partnered with the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank and over 30 additional partner organizations to pivot their existing outreach services. In this case study, we identify lessons learned by Crystal Bridges that might be useful for other organizations who seek to foster meaningful engagement with the public, especially in times of crisis. Specifically, we focus on three main lessons: 1) how the museum created a plan to learn through the pivot in order to capture their own lessons, 2) how the members of the organization experienced a sense of coming together (congregation) during the pivot, and 3) how the organization planned to improve both internal and external communication.

The goals of this case study were to (1) analyze the role of innovative mathematics teaching approaches among middle and high school students regarding their hard and soft mathematical skills; (2) to examine students’ perceptions about the mathematical teaching approaches, used by their teachers during class sessions, (3) to analyze aspects of innovation in them. The descriptive case study approach was used to analyze the role of innovative teaching approaches in helping students to develop various mathematical hard and soft skills. A qualitative meta-analysis methodology was applied to ten student theses about mathematics teaching within the Department of Mathematics in the School of Postgraduate studies of IKIP Siliwangi in Cimahi. This paper presents the results based on ten graduate students’ theses research studies, selected purposively from 68 student theses. The selection of articles aimed to include a variety of theses discussing mathematics skills teaching and learning approaches. The results show that, in general, students who were trained with innovative teaching approaches attained higher grades than students taught by conventional teaching methods. It has been established that students’ grades on mathematical hard skills varied after intervention. On the contrary, regarding students mathematical soft skills, some theses reported no difference between students taught using both approaches, while some reported greater differences. Finally, students had good opinions regarding the innovative teaching-learning approaches, used by their teachers.

Abstract The aim of OA-INVOLVE is to provide recommendations to support older adult engagement in research that leads to the successful development of technologies for and with older adults. To support this aim we conducted a longitudinal case study project in which we interviewed eight AGE-WELL research teams conducting technology projects to explore the benefits, challenges, and solutions for meaningful engagement. Members of the OA-INVOLVE Older Adult Research Partner Group (OARPG) were involved in all aspects of the project. Findings from the case studies provided important insights regarding structural, contextual, and individual factors that enable and constrain active involvement of older adults. Many projects reported developing unique “workarounds” in order to move beyond involving older adults as participants to involving them as advisors and decision makers. Researchers identified that they often lack the skills, training and resources to engage older adults in a meaningful way and could benefit from capacity building.

The development of modern logistics technology and equipment shows the trend of globalization. In order to bring up high-level logistics talents who possess international cooperation in awareness, communication skills, scientific innovation and academic competitiveness, traditional teaching approaches must be reconsidered. Based on the project of bilingual teaching reform of “Advanced Manufacturing Technology”, the paper discusses how to use the student-centered methods, such as case study, problem-based learning (PBL) and project-based teaching to improve teaching quality. In addition, it explores assessment and problems that can be anticipated with these teaching approaches.

This chapter explores the connection between a school's efforts to engage with parents and community members and the academic achievement of its students. The author examines two case studies from Tennessee- the charter school model within the state-run Achievement School District in Memphis, and the community school model in Knoxville. The chapter begins with an explanation of key terms, followed by an introduction of each case study. Next, the author compares student academic achievement within each educational model, demonstrating that the community schools have achieved greater gains than the charter schools. The author then analyzes survey and interview data from parents and community members to compare each educational model's parental and community engagement efforts. Ultimately, the author concludes that in Tennessee, the community school model has been more effective than the charter school model in improving student academic achievement in large part because of its emphasis on meaningful engagement with parents and community members.

AbstractThis paper presents a case study regarding the methods used in teaching Design for quality at graduate studies level, in order to help practitioners derive enhancement ideas for their own demarches in related fields. The methodology consists in surveying existing experiences in the Quality engineering and management master program at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca in a comparative study and defining a set of criteria for analyzing them. The two options of delivering the targeted competences, which have equivalent content, rely on different teaching approaches: classical for one group and computer aided for the second group. With the help of a focus group, the investigation criteria are defined and ranked using AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process), while Pugh’s method is further used to detail the proposed comparison. A discussion on the results of the two scenarios is included, showcasing advantages and disadvantages, together with implementation suggestions.
