Pedagogical Approaches

There continues to be an increase in enrollments in various computing programs at academic institutions due to many job opportunities available in the information, communication, and technology sectors. This enrollment surge has presented several challenges in many Computer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), and Software Engineering (SE) programs at universities and colleges. One such challenge is that many instructors in CS/IT/SE programs continue to use learning approaches that are not learner centered and therefore are not adequately preparing students to be proficient in the ever-changing computing industry. To mitigate this challenge, instructors need to use evidence-based pedagogical approaches, e.g., active learning, to improve student learning and engagement in the classroom and equip students with the skills necessary to be lifelong learners. This article presents an approach that combines learning and engagement strategies (LESs) in learning environments using different teaching modalities to improve student learning and engagement. We describe how LESs are integrated into face-to-face (F2F) and online class activities. The LESs currently used are collaborative learning , gamification , problem-based learning , and social interaction . We describe an approach used to quantify each LES used during class activities based on a set of characteristics for LESs and the traditional lecture-style pedagogical approaches. To demonstrate the impact of using LESs in F2F class activities, we report on a study conducted over seven semesters in a software testing class at a large urban minority serving institution. The study uses a posttest-only study design, the scores of two midterm exams, and approximate class times dedicated to each LES and traditional lecture style to quantify their usage in a face-to-face software testing class. The study results showed that increasing the time dedicated to collaborative learning, gamification, and social interaction and decreasing the traditional lecture-style approach resulted in a statistically significant improvement in student learning, as reflected in the exam scores.

In laboratory study environments, dialogue-videos, or videos of a tutor and a tutee solving problems together, have been shown to more effectively improve student learning than monologue-videos, or videos of tutors solving problems alone. Yet, few studies have replicated these findings in the context of authentic university classrooms. Here, we investigate the impact of dialogue-videos, and more specifically the effect of errors made by tutees in dialogue-videos, on student learning in the context of an undergraduate biology course. To understand why, we investigated students’ effort spent on watching videos, perceived influence of dialogue-videos, and worksheet completion rates. We found that higher-performing students perceived that they used the dialogue-videos to review content. We also found that higher-performing, but not lower-performing, students learned better from dialogue videos where tutees made errors. We also discuss the complexities of replicating laboratory studies in the classroom and implications of our findings. Implications for practice or policy: Tutee errors can be intentionally included in dialogue-videos to promote student learning. When students lack the necessary prior knowledge, monologue-videos may be more effective in presenting the course content. When using dialogue-videos, instructors can encourage students to collaborate to resolve any confusion in time to maximise the benefit of dialogue-videos in teaching and learning.

In September 2020, Irish schools reopened following their emergency closure due to the COVID-19 crisis. Measures were put in place to minimise the risk of transmission of the virus within schools and communities. However, these measures were likely to impact on teachers’ capacity to facilitate learning in science, particularly the practical and investigative aspects of the Irish curriculum. This research explores the impact of the measures in place to limit virus transmission on teaching and learning in science, particularly on practical activities. The period of focus is the three months (September to November 2020) following the school closures. The research aims to highlight the implications of the COVID-19 crisis on science learning in Irish schools and provide recommendations to lessen the impact on primary and second-level science education to improve student learning and engagement in science.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat dampak dari program Ulangan Harian Bersama (UHB) terhadap peningkatan motivasi belajar siswa.Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini didapat dari angket dan dokumen, lalu dianalisis dengan menggunakan regresi linier sederhana untuk melihat tingkat pengaruh program UHB terhadap motivasi belajar siswa.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan motivasi belajar siswa SMA Negeri 4 Kota Bogor yang digambarkan dengan sikap siswa dalam belajar berupa kesiapan siswa dalam belajar, keaktifan siswa dalam belajar, rasa senang saat belajar, pemusatan perhatian, daya serap materi dan kesiapan siswa dalam mengerjakan tugassudah baik. Sedangkan koefisien determinasi menunjukkan nilai R Square 0,002 atau 0,2%, bermakna niali UHB sebagai bentuk hasil dari program UHB tidak sama sekali memberikan dampak pada peningkatan motivasi belajar siswa dengan melihat sangat rendahnya pengaruh tersebu yaitu hanya 0,2% saja. Sehingga dapat dikatakan 99,8% motivasi belajar siswa dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain.Sedangkan persamaan regresi Y atas X, adalah Ŷ = 71,280+ 0,028X. Dengan persamaan regresi tersebut dapat diinterprestasikan bahwa jika variabel Nilai UHB (X) dengan Motivasi Belajar Siswa (Y) diukur dengan instrumen yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini, maka setiap perubahan skor UHB sebesar satu pada satuan dapat diestimasikan skor Motivasi Belajar Siswa akan berubah sebesar  0,028 satuan pada arah yang sama.Program Ulangan Harian Bersama (UHB) yang dilaksanakan oleh SMA Negeri 4 Kota Bogor sebagai upaya meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa, pada penelitian ini menunjukkan hasil yang kurang baik dimana pemberian nilai sebagai hasil dari program ulangan harian tidak cukup untuk memotivasi siswa dalam pembelajaran.Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa betapa rendahnya pengaruh nilai dalam ulangan harian tersebut terhadap motivasi belajar siswa yaitu hanya sebesar 0,02%.Bagi peneliti selanjutnya tentang motivasi belajar siswa, disarankan untuk meneliti faktor yang lebih luas mengenai faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi peningkatan motivasi belajar siswa tidak hanya terbatas pada pemberian ulangan harian dan nilai saja. Sehingga penelitian yang dihasilkan akan memberikan informasi yang lengkap dan dapat dijadikan pegangan bagi para guru guna memperbaiki pembelajran.Kata kunci: motivasi belajar siswa, program ulangan harian bersama (UHB).MANAGEMENT OF DAILY JOINT TEST (UHB) PROGRAM AS EFFORTS TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING MOTIVATIONAbstractThis research aims to see the impact of the daily joint test (UHB) program on increasing students’ learning motivation. The data used in this research were gathered from questionnaires and documents, and were analyzed by using simple linear regression to see the level of influence of the UHB program on students’ learning motivation. The research focused on the students of SMA Negeri 4 in Bogor City. The learning motivation was illustrated by the students' attitudes in learning, readiness in learning, activeness in learning, and joy in learning, along with their concentration and material absorption. The coefficient of determination shows that the value of R Square 0.002 or 0.2%, meaning the value of the UHB program as a form of impact on improving student learning motivation is very low. It can be said that 99.8% of students' learning motivation is influenced by other factors. The regression equation Y over X is Ŷ = 71,280 + 0,028X. With the regression equation, one can see that the UHB (X) Value variable with Student Learning Motivation (Y). When measured by the instrument developed in this study, a change in UHB score of one unit can be estimated to change Student Learning Motivation scores by 0.028 units in the same direction. This study shows, that the daily joint test (UHB) program, carried out by SMA Negeri 4 Bogor, in an effort to improve students’ learning motivation, demonstrated unfavorable results. Giving scores as a result of a daily review program was not enough to motivate students in learning. The results of the data analysis showed a low influence of the daily testing on students’ learning motivation. In further research on students’ learning motivation, it is suggested to examine broader factors regarding the influence on students’ motivation to increase learning not only limited to giving daily tests and grades. This further research is needed to provide complete information that can be used as a guide for teachers to improve learning.

Natural selection is a widely misunderstood yet critical element to understanding evolution, a concept already fraught with controversy and challenges to its instruction. This necessitates creative methods to improve student learning in this area. A constructivist mini-unit incorporating simulation-based games involving a population of imaginary creatures called Chukwins was created to maximize student learning and motivation. It was tested in one elementary and three junior high classrooms in different locations. Changes in understanding were assessed before and after treatment. Surveys and interviews provided additional evidence on students’ attitudes toward the mini-unit and its impact on their learning and engagement. Students made statistically significant improvements on assessments regarding natural selection, reducing their number of misconceptions and slightly improving their ability to apply it. Retention scores indicate that the changes are long-lasting.
