ABSTRAK. Pada Program Studi Arsitektur salah satu proses kegiatan yang penting adalah kegiatan perancangan dengan beberapa tahapan antara lain membuat konsep, rancangan gambar dua dimensi dan tiga dimensi dan pembuatan maket. Kegiatan tersebut dilakukan di studio gambar dengan penataan dan bentuk pengelolaan desain ruang kuliah yang khusus. Pada saat sebelum pandemic desain ruang kuliah studio hanya didasarkan pada aktivitas di dalam kegiatan perancangan.Pada saat pandemic covid 19 sekarang ini mengharuskan sebuah desain ruang kuliah studio yang bisa menyesuaikan dengan kebutuhan protokol kesehatan untuk memutus rantai penyebaran virus. Metode yang digunakan adalah deduktif kualitatif dengan menggambarkan kondisi ruang kuliah studio dan penyebaran kuesioner kepada para mahasiswa melalui pengisian kuesioner online. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah analisis desain penataan perabot ruang kuliah studio berdasarkan protokol kesehatan antara lain pada fasilitas fisik meliputi dimensi, desain wujud konfigurasi, desain pembatas antar kursi. Dimensi baru yang dihasilkan berdasarkan pertimbangan new normal adalah keefektifan sebesar 31,5% dengan jarak antar kursi minimal 1 meter. Sedangkan desain wujud konfigurasi yang paling optimal adalah tipe rectangle. Pada desain pembatas antar kursi dihasilkan desain partisi yang berfungsi menghalangi droplet antar mahasiswa dan dosen di dalam ruangan. Untuk sirkulasi dan sign diberikan tanda pada ruang kuliah studio agar arah masuk dan keluar tidak berpapasan. Dengan dihasilkannya desain ruang kuliah studio yang optimal di program studi arsitektur yang sesuai dengan kondisi pandemic covid 19 maka diharapkan akan tercapai peningkatan mutu pembelajaran juga bisa tetap mendukung program pemutusan mata rantai virus covid 19. Kata kunci:perabot, studio, arsitektur, new normal ABSTRACT. One of the essential activity processes in the Architecture Study Program is a design activity with several stages, including conceptualization, two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawing designs, and making mock-ups. This activity is carried out in a drawing studio with a particular arrangement and management of lecture room designs. Before the pandemic, the design of studio lecture rooms was only based on activities in design activities. At the time of the current Covid 19 pandemic, it requires a studio lecture room design that can adapt to health protocols' needs to break the chain of the spread of the virus. The method used is qualitative deductive by describing the studio lecture room conditions and distributing questionnaires to students through online questionnaire filling. This study analyses the design of studio lecture room furniture based on health protocols, among others, the physical facilities, including dimensions, configuration design, and barrier design between chairs. The new size produced based on the new normal considerations is the effectiveness of 31.5% with a minimum distance of 1 meter between seats.Meanwhile, the most optimal configuration design is the rectangle type. In the divider design between chairs, a partition design is produced, which functions to block droplets between students and lecturers in the room. For circulation and sign is given a warning in the studio lecture room so that the entry and exit direction does not cross. With the production of an optimal studio lecture room design in an architecture study program following the conditions of the Covid 19 pandemic, it is hoped that an increase in the quality of learning will be achieved and can continue to support the program to break the Covid 19 chain link. Keywords: furniture, studio, architecture, new normal

Purpose – Deployment of ICT facilities for teaching and learning in higher education is no longer a new trend, however, assessing the impacts of these deployment on lecturers and students requires more effort. The purpose of this paper is to employ a mixed method design consisting qualitative and quantitative procedures to examine the impact of ICT deployment in teaching and learning at a University in Nigeria. The survey data were drawn from 593 respondents (students and lecturers) and was analyzed using linear regression. For the qualitative part, one-on-one and focus group interviews were conducted among seven students and eight lecturers to seek their varying opinion on ICT impact on teaching and learning. Lecture-room observations were conducted across three classes to see how ICT is integrated. These multiple means findings were triangulated, compared and contrasted to validate the study. Predictors of ICT impact were found to be perception, integration, motivation and challenges. The qualitative interview and observation findings generated four similar themes as the quantitative result which was conceptualized as a model that serves as a framework for researchers on ICT impact assessment. Design/methodology/approach – This study employed a mixed method design consisting qualitative and quantitative procedures to examine the impact of ICT deployment in teaching and learning at a University in Nigeria. The survey data were drawn from 593 respondents (students and lecturers) and was analyzed using linear regression. For the qualitative part, one-on-one and focus group interviews were conducted among seven students and eight lecturers to seek their varying opinion on ICT impact on teaching and learning. Lecture-room observations were conducted across three classes to see how ICT is integrated. These multiple means findings were triangulated, compared and contrasted to validate the study. Findings – Predictors of ICT impact were found to be perception, integration, motivation and challenges. The qualitative interview and observation findings generated four similar themes as the quantitative result which was conceptualized as a model that serves as a framework for researchers on ICT impact assessment. Practical implications – The use of multiple research designs to get rich and diverse view of participants incorporated in this study help to generate solid findings on the impact assessment of technology in education. The conceptual model (Adedokun-Shittu 2011 ICT impact assessment model) generated through a mixed method research design has four components which are substitutable to CIPP and Kirkpatrick models. It also fills a crucial gap left by both models. Originality/value – This study produces a model that is conceived as a conceptual framework for researchers on impact assessment and is made up of the generated themes and named ICT Impact Assessment Model comprising Positive effect, Integration, Incentives and Challenges. This model is represented in a cyclic form because the assessment process can start from any stage and the assessment could be done individually or holistically. This makes it useful for both formative and summative assessment of ICT integration in teaching and learning (Adedokun-Shittu et al.S, 2012). The mixed method approach (survey, interviews and observations) used in the study that generated this model also supports its usefulness in any kind of evaluation (formative or summative).

One of the educational by-products of German botanical scholarship was the publication of sets of large ‘wall diagrams’ (Wandtafeln) for use in the lecture-room. Most British University Departments of Botany dating from the period before the first world war probably had at least one of these sets. In my own department I have used these excellent diagrams occasionally, realizing that they combined clarity, size and accuracy to an unrivalled extent.This passage from a recent essay by S. M. Walters forms an appropriate introduction to the topic of this paper. From the start, it should be noticed that the use of such diagrams (referred to as ‘wallcharts’ in the rest of the paper) was by no means limited to botany nor to university studies. As will become clear, they were one of the most important media for the teaching and learning at different levels of education and within different fields.

In this paper we examine the contributions of the “Calculadora para Otimização Linear” (Calculadora LOpt) to be inserted as a tool to support the teaching and learning process of the operational research discipline. The study involved a coordinating teacher, a student, two teachers who applied the questionnaire to students from different courses of two private higher education institutions in the state of Goiás in Brazil. A questionnaire was developed, which was applied in two graduation groups constituted of 81 participants. The analysis and interpretations of the data generated evidence that the use of software in solving linear optimization problems through the simplex method contributes significantly to the teaching and learning process of this discipline, since it facilitates problem solving and creates an interactive learning environment.

As an organizer of technology-based academic activities, Sumbawa University of Technology wants to utilize technology as the main support for activities on campus. One of the activities that require technological touch is the process of monitoring and evaluation in lecturing activities. Vice Chancellor I in the academic field as the part that oversees the implementation of lectures, so far the system that is carried out in monitoring lectures is still classified as manual, namely by assigning staff to check each lecture room. From the current system, it is considered inefficient because it requires a lot of checking personnel to remember the number of lectures that occur at one time. Therefore the solution used to overcome this is to create a computerized system that can facilitate the process of monitoring and evaluation so as to reduce the need for personnel and time. Therefore the aim of this research is to develop a web-based monitoring and evaluation system of teaching and learning activities (E-Monev). This system was developed using the PHP programming language by using the Codeigniter and Mysql framework as a database and using the waterfall method in application development

The paper examines the importance of management and control of the classroom for effective teaching-learning process in tertiary institutions. Classroom or lecture room is one of the most important facilities in tertiary institutions being the pedagogical home of instruction. Lecture room may be physical as in the case of a four-wall room and it may be abstract as in the case of on-line teaching.Classroom management and control are affected by psychosocial, physical and teaching methods. Each of those factors plays a very significant role in the management and control of class/lecture room for effective teaching-learning process. Each of them can make or mar the teaching-learning process depending on how the lecturer understands and handles them.The paper, however, recommends some steps to be taken by lecturers to manage and control the classroom for effective teaching-learning process. Some of these are; the teacher being a model to the students should endeavour to know the students very well and by names, build good, cordial and lively relationship with the learners helps students to develop positive confidence in themselves, prepare well for the lectures, create conducive learning atmosphere in the lecture room and set some rules, among others.The paper considers some policy implications of management and control of the classroom for effective teaching and learning processes on the proprietor, management, staff and students in a tertiary institution.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to share a lecturer’s viewpoint on using mobile phone, as an academic tool, in the lecture room. Design/methodology/approach Students were encouraged to use their mobile phones and find information during the author’s class discussions, at the University of the West Indies – Mona Campus. At the end of the semester, the author asked the students if they found mobile phone, a distraction, in their learning process and did they enjoy using them. These questions were asked to understand their perspective, about mobile phone usage during class discussions. Findings The finding is that respondents did not see mobile phone usage in lecture room as a distraction as they learn and they also enjoyed using them. Originality/value Students’ opinion on using mobile phone as an academic tool at the University level has not been explored before in Jamaica. This viewpoint provides the lecturers and university management an opportunity to rethink the existing rules, towards mobile phone usage in class, in an effort to enhance teaching and learning in the Caribbean context particularly in Jamaica.

Abstract The intent of this article is to share my research endeavors in order to raise awareness of issues relative to what and how we teach as a means to spark interest in applying the scholarship of teaching and learning to what we do as faculty in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). My own interest in teaching and learning emerged rather abruptly after I introduced academic service-learning (AS-L) into one of my graduate courses (Stevens, 2002). To better prepare students to enter our profession, I have provided them with unique learning opportunities working with various community partners including both speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and teachers who supported persons with severe communication disorders.
