A Blended Training Model to Improve Learning Outcome of IT Professionals in Scripting Languages

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of VR simulations combined with bedside assignments on nurses' self-efficacy in providing pre-treatment educational services. Between March 2019 and November 2020, we conducted a study of VR educational materials that were developed to cover information about the treatment of oral cancers. The effects of the VR simulation, the thinking-path tracking map method, and bedside assignments on the nurses treatment decision-related knowledge were evaluated in a ward for oral cancer patients at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan. The blended training model significantly increased nurses' familiarity (P<0.01) and confidence (P<0.03) regarding their knowledge of treatments and treatment decision-related knowledge. This model also significantly increased their confidence in their skills in bedside pre-treatment education for admitted oral cancer patients (P<0.002). Oral cancer-specific VR materials enhanced the effectiveness of skills training among nurses in the oral cancer ward.

Abstract In this study, starting from the profile of our trainees and from the risks highlighted by some studies in terms of the use of video in education, we will analyse the motivations and choices behind the development of the online training model for Foreign Language teachers. We will show how, in order to cope with the impossibility of continuing with blended training, we were directed to a model more closely linked with visual-based learning. We explain our instructional and emotional design choices to support and direct our teacher trainees to flexible learning and the use of media and Web 2.0 in their classrooms. Finally, we investigate the possible problems in terms of sustainability and technical feasibility, comparing the development of two prototypes of videos made using the techniques of video scribing and whiteboard animation: a video interview and a video animation.

Efficient Learning

The development of mobile device technology among High School (SMA) users and its equivalent has not been maximized maximally to support the achievement of effective and efficient learning goals. The purpose of this service activity is to provide training to high school / MA / SMK teachers in the form of the ability to recognize, understand and develop micro teaching materials (microlearning objects). Training activities are carried out by using a blended training model that is a combination of face-to-face training activities and online training. Face-to-face activities use lecture, discussion and online game methods, while online training is in the form of a study of training materials and independent training. The results obtained in the form of the ability of participants to understand, design and develop micro teaching materials using mobile devices they have. Perkembangan teknologi mobile device di kalangan pengguna Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) dan sederajat belum dioptimalkan secara maksimal untuk mendukung pencapaian tujuan pembelajaran yang efektif dan efisien. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini yaitu memberikan pelatihan kepada para guru SMA/MA/SMK berupa kemampuan untuk mengenali, memahami dan mengembangkan bahan ajar mikro (microlearning object). Kegiatan pelatihan dilakukan dengan menggunakan model blended training yakni perpaduan antara kegiatan pelatihan secara tatap muka dan pelatihan secara online. Kegiatan tatap muka menggunakan metode ceramah, diskusi dan game online, sedangkan pelatihan online berupa kegiatan kajian bahan pelatihan dan latihan mandiri. Hasil yang diperoleh berupa kemampuan peserta dalam memahami, merancang dan mengembangkan bahan ajar mikro menggunakan perangkat mobile device yang dimilikinya.
