<span>Navigating safely in the real environment especially in the outdoor setting requires a blind person to be equipped with the spatial knowledge and possess the skills in mobility and orientation. The aims of this study are to investigate the existing wayfinding learning techniques taught to blind people and to identify the challenges during the teaching and learning processes. A two days of observation during a mobility practical session was conducted at Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB). The first objective was to explore the current techniques used by mobility instructor to teach visually impaired students for a wayfinding and second, to identify the challenges faced by the mobility instructor and the visually impaired students in the teaching and learning processes of wayfinding. The study discovered that the major problem faced by the mobility instructor was with the lack of teaching aids to describe a new environment to visually impaired students. This leads to the lack of time that caused the visually impaired students perceived insufficient information which was hard for them to construct the intended cognitive maps. From the findings, this paper concludes by discussing the recommendations primarily on the use of technology in addressing the problems identified in this study.</span>

In today’s techno-intensive world, technology is an integral part of education. Over the last few decades, technology has been playing an increasingly vital role in the field of education, which has led to a profound improvement in the teaching and learning processes. The present learning environment demands that the teacher be skilled in use of technology to educate his pupils in an effective and efficient manner. Additionally, the school curriculum has to be in sync with the modern technology. In others words the curriculum has to so designed that it is easy to adapt and integrate it with the modern technologies of teaching and learning processes. This scenario requires that the teachers are trained and adept at handling modern techno-intensive teaching aids so that both teaching and learning become a joy for the teacher as well as the pupils.

The objectives of this research are to describe some learning strategies and difficulties faced by visually impaired students (VIS) in learning English at UIN Sunan Kalijaga and to describe some strategies of the lecturer in dealing with difficulties in English teaching and learning process for VIS at UIN Sunan Kalijaga.The type of research is descriptive qualitative research in the form of case study. In this research, the researcher used two instruments. They are observation and interview. There are three subjects involved in this research. They are two blind students and one low vision students. The observation was done when the researcher did teaching and learning process at Class Dakwah R. The data were taken from observation and interview. The researcher used the data to analyze the VIS’ difficulties in learning English.The result shows that there are some difficulties faced by VIS. These difficulties can be put into two different categories: internal and external difficulties. Internal difficulties come from the VIS themselves which relates to VIS’ sight conditions and their learning strategies. External difficulties come from the learning environment including difficulties from the lecturer, friends, materials and the facilities.VIS have different learning strategies. The lecturer should discuss some classroom adaptations such as seating arrangement, friends’ assistance and peer teaching, adapted facilities and exam accommodation, for instance exam assistance, longer exam time, inclusive examination and larger print for low vision students. Finally, the lecturer should choose appropriate teaching strategies, media and teaching aids.

Learning Issues

In this paper, we discuss major issues of mathematics teaching and learning in Nepal. The issues coming from theories such as social and radical constructivism suggest that teachers are not trained to use such approach in teaching mathematics, and there is a lack of teaching aids and materials and technological tools. The issues related to social aspects are gender issues, language issues, social justice issues, and issues related to the achievement gap. The cultural issues are related to the diversity of language and ethnicity. The issues related to political aspects are equity and access, economic status, pedagogical choice, and professional organizations and unions. The issues related to technology include the technological skills, use of technology, and affordance. Finally, we suggest that all the stakeholders should pay attention to resolving these issues by improving the curriculum, training teachers, resourcing the classroom with locally made and new technological tools.

Students that take the Web Design Technologies programming course think this course is difficult to learn because they need to master various programming languages which are Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript (JS), and jQuery. Therefore, in line with the development of technology, lecturers should change traditional methods to modern learning methods with the use of technology that is suitable to the millennial generation. This situation is also due to the COVID-19 pandemic phenomenon which requires lecturers to act creatively in using teaching aids that are able to assist students' self-learning using online methods and distance learning. Therefore, this study was conducted to study the use of Battle Web gamification that was built using the ADDIE model as a teaching aid for the Web Design Technologies course. Questionnaires with six constructs were distributed to get feedback with the involvement of 53 students. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS software. Item reliability is implemented to ensure the quality of the questionnaire items and the data obtained. The results show that students give positive results related to the use of Battle Web in their Teaching and Learning (T&L) sessions. Battle Web impacts students' learning process in terms of motivation, attitude, and cognitive development because Battle Web has appropriate multimedia elements, clear instructions and the language used is easy to understand.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a fundamental impact on various aspects of humanity. Starting from attacking health, this pandemic has hit the education sector which is quite influential on human life. Enforcement of regulations while maintaining a distance of about one meter has implications for the education process in Indonesia. Therefore, the educational element must encourage the distance learning process. The term arises because it sees distance learning as an alternative to face-to-face methods so that education can always be held without controversy under any circumstances. This activity raises the use of technology that is used as teaching material for distance education. Distance learning techniques allow users to take advantage of technologies such as online learning. Teachers will be required to abandon using traditional techniques whose methods are somewhat indifferent. Online learning creates internet connectivity and the use of information technology in helping the teaching and learning process that can be applied in Google Classroom. In this article, researchers focus on using Google Classroom in the context of implementing distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Research has shown that active learning techniques increase students’ ability to find solutions to problems and help students to think critically about problems. In a technology-driven global arena, in which students will have to compete after they matriculate, effective instruction should advocate effective use of technology incorporating active learning techniques. These techniques should enhance students’ oral and written communication, technological competence, information literacy and critical analysis skills. The purpose of this study is to explore students’ perceptions of blogging as an effective teaching and learning tool for research methods. The study explores if blogging increases students’ performance, if it improves their appreciation of the subject matter and if it reduces their fear/anxiety of the material. The results indicate that blogging could be a viable and effective tool to engage and impact students’ performance.
