Purpose Furthermore, the purpose of this study is to compare the student engagement and the learning outcomes in offline and online PBL in the aforementioned course. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in various sectors, including education. Since it was first announced in mid-March 2020 in Indonesia, teaching and learning activities have been carried out online. In this study, a comparison of the offline (Spring 2019, prior to the pandemic) and online (Spring 2021, during the pandemic) problem-based learning (PBL) method in the sustainable chemical industry course is investigated. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative analysis was conducted by measuring the students’ engagement, course-learning outcomes (CLOs) and student learning outcomes (SLOs). Difference tests of engagement score, CLOs and SLOs were investigated by using the t-test or Mann–Whitney U-test. Furthermore, the perceived students’ stressors were measured. Findings It is found that the students’ engagement in offline and online PBL gives similar scores with no significant difference. This is possible because of the PBL structure that demands students to be actively engaged in gaining knowledge, collaboratively working in teams and interacting with other students and lecturers. Although similarly engaged, the CLOs and SLOs of online PBL are significantly lower than offline PBL, except for SLO related to oral and written communication skills and affective aspect. The decrease in CLOs and SLOs could be influenced by students’ academic, psychological and health-related stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic time. Originality/value This study provides a recommendation to apply online PBL during the COVID-19 pandemic time and beyond, although some efforts to improve CLOs and SLOs are needed.

PurposeAn education system can only be successful if it can develop future-ready learners who can continue to learn after graduation, take on their future lifework and thrive in the future society and environment. This article examines the economic, social and environmental trajectories of Singapore and proposes that it is important for future-ready learners to develop habits of practices that will support the skills, knowledge and values that are pertinent to these trajectories.Design/methodology/approachSchool leaders are responsible for creating environments and implementing practices that are conducive for fostering habits of practices that are crucial for future-ready outcomes. The authors discuss the inadequacies of traditional teaching and learning practices in supporting these habits and elucidate how newer paradigms such as constructivism, connectivism, coagency and communities of practice might be more useful in achieving this. The authors also present a case study of a school leadership preparation programme that aims to develop future-ready learners.FindingsThis paper provides insights into how newer paradigms of teaching and learning can be supportive for developing desirable habits of practices for future readiness.Originality/valueThis discussion piece introduces a fresh concept – habits of practices – that is relevant in preparing future-ready learners in Singapore.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper if to design a workshop that effectively facilitates the collaborative revision of student learning outcomes based on current research relating to competencies in information literacy (IL). Design/methodology/approach – This case study describes collaborations between librarians and writing instructors throughout an eight-week workshop. The workshop focused on using the results of assessments to revise learning outcomes and restructure instruction practices to help students in the areas they struggle with the most. Three significant frameworks, including threshold concepts, backward design and decoding the disciplines, were used to facilitate effective discussion and revise learning outcomes. Findings – The structure of the workshop based on three key frameworks stimulated innovation, fostered collegiality, prompted future collaborative opportunities and garnered buy-in for the importance and implementation of IL initiatives. This collaboration served as a pilot workshop for future plans to write and revise IL outcomes with other departments across campus. Practical implications – This study can serve as a model for future collaborations with any department faculty, especially when IL learning outcomes need to be articulated or revised. The frameworks described are particularly helpful for guiding this process. Originality/value – While much is written on librarian collaborations, this case study emphasizes the importance of creating even closer collaborative opportunities that place both non-library faculty and teaching librarians on equal footing, allowing everyone in the workshop to take part in the design and implementation of integrating IL into a program. It also gives concrete ways to use threshold concepts to discuss IL issues with faculty, which is a major focus of the newly drafted Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.

Teacher creativity to create a fun teaching and learning atmosphere plays an important role in developing the potential of students. For example, teachers can develop an effective learning media to engage students in meaningful learning. However, few teachers can develop learning media as is the case in MIN 4 Jember. From the preliminary study, they found it difficult to develop an effective instructional media which caused student learning outcomes low. Thus, this study aims to develop an effective pop-up book based media to improve the learning outcomes of natural event themes of students in class I of MIN 4 Jember. The present research employs the development study by modifying the Brog and Gall development model. The model consists of several stages, namely: finding a problem; collecting data; design / product development; design / product validation; design / product revision; and trial use. The final product of this research is in the form of pop-up book based media developed from two aspects, material aspects and media aspects. The results of the validity trials obtained from experts on learning materials were 88% and experts on learning media were 82% with valid qualifications. The t-related test results also showed a significant difference between the acquisition of the learning outcomes of the control class and the experimental class that was 25%. It can be concluded that this pop-up book based media is appropriate for use in learning and is effective in improving the first grader students learning outcomes of natural event theme of MIN 4 Jember.

Education in Indonesia is still dominated by the view that knowledge of the facts that must be memorized. This has resulted in students becoming passive learners. Therefore, teachers are expected to select and apply the learning model appropriate to the situation and condition of learning. This is done to avoid failing students in learning, due to a lack of understanding of the concept as a whole. Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), as the concept of learning strategies that help teachers link between what is taught by the empirical facts known to the students and encourage students to create relationships through the application of knowledge in everyday life.The problem in this study are: (1) Learning by Utilizing CTL Model Environment as a Learning Resource IPS experimental class could be better than the conventional model in classroom learning control (2) Is the student response to learning with the use CTL as the Source of Learning Environment IPS better than Using Conventional.The design of such studies are experimental research with two groups pretest-posttest design. The subjects were students of class VII SMP Yadika Bangil Pasuruan the number of 25 students for each class experimental and control classes. The instrument used to collect data include questionnaires, achievement test, observation, and documentation. Data analysis using SPSS 17 software. Based on a statistical analysis of the study showed that there is a significant difference between the improvement of student learning outcomes in the classroom experiments with the control class. In more detail the following results were obtained: (1) The results show completeness minimal thorough standart (KKM) student learning after the learning process using CTL model to use the environment as a source of social studies with a completeness of 88%, (2) the activity of the students participating in learning activities with CTL using the environment as a learning resource better than the students who take conventional learning, (3) Students responded positively to the application of learning CTL model by using the environment as a source of learning, (4) barriers were found during the study that although a small percentage of his lack of time (lesson 2 hours x 40 minutes) so that students who have not completed the task in school serve as homework. Based on these findings it can be concluded that the CTL model by using the environment as a learning resourcein learning the topic of population and economic activity patterns of land use based on the physical condition of the Earth’s surface can improve student learning outcomes SMP Yadika Bangil.
