Multimedia In Education

Many studies have made claims for the positive effects of multimedia in education; however, there is a lack of systematic and comparable research, especially when it comes to video tutorials. This study evaluates the use and benefits of short screencast video tutorials, produced with Camtasia and published on YouTube, in preparing students for research-based writing assignments. The study employs a multi-method research design, comprising an analysis of video-tutorial viewership data from YouTube and a student questionnaire on the perceived benefits of these video tutorials. The data on how the tutorials are used, as well as the questionnaire responses, enable us to highlight which aspects of these tutorials positively affect the learning process, and importantly, how such tutorials should be adapted to be more useful. Findings indicate that the use of such tutorials is more dependent on the type of information included (e.g., theory, instructions or examples), than their length (within the range of three to six minutes). Additionally, novice, introductory-level students appear to have received greater benefit from the tutorials than students with some previous academic writing experience.

Higher education in Ukraine is facing new challenges brought about by the reform processes that affect its content and structure. The reduction of contact hours has increased both the volume of students’ independent work and their responsibility for academic success. Under these conditions, the portfolio becomes one of the most efficient means of teaching and assessing students’ academic performance as it consists of a collection of syllabus-based writing tasks demonstrating the learner’s gradual achievements during the course. Portfolios are profitable both for teachers and learners. Thanks to the portfolio, all the students are equally involved into the learning process; they receive more individual attention on the part of the teacher, and to the end of the course, get patterns of several academic papers, such as an essay, abstract, annotative bibliography, and presentation. The portfolios enable the teacher to follow the students’ achievements and the process of forming academic writing competences, and if it is necessary, to reinforce their development. Moreover, portfolios provide a perfect tool for valid, multifaceted, and sustainable students’ assessment. The system of syllabus-based learning tasks aligned to six categories of Bloom’s taxonomy forms the content of the competence-based portfolio. The proposed arrangement of academic writing assignments accounts for successful solving of the course objectives. The introduction of portfolios into the learning process is rather advantageous for other academic courses because most generic and subject-specific competences, formed within the Academic Writing course, are transferable and can be applied to other disciplines. The learners can successfully use the absorbed knowledge of scientific writing for creating academic papers in other courses.

La investigación sobre el enfoque basado en la autoconstrucción de materiales en educación física ha mostrado efectos positivos en las dimensiones psicológica, social y educativa de los estudiantes. Como refuerzo en su implementación se experimentó una estrategia de enseñanza consistente en el diseño, elaboración y presentación de vídeo-tutoriales entre futuros docentes. Los objetivos fueron analizar la percepción de los estudiantes del grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria acerca de esta experiencia, estudiar sus creencias y actitudes hacia la estrategia de enseñanza como futuros docentes, y comprobar posibles diferencias de género. Participaron 120 (70 varones y 50 mujeres) estudiantes de la mención de Educación Física. Las edades oscilaban entre los 19 y 40 años de edad (N = 21.87; DT= 2.39). Se realizó un diseño pre-experimental con medidas post-tratamiento. Se elaboró un cuestionario ad hoc de 39 ítems compuesto por dos escalas: Escala de valoración de la elaboración de vídeo-tutoriales sobre material autoconstruido, y Escala de creencias y actitudes del uso del vídeo-tutorial como estrategia de enseñanza. La experiencia resultó muy positiva para los participantes. Tanto el proceso como el producto resultaron muy satisfactorios, mejorando su aprendizaje, fomentando su creatividad e implicación personal, y desarrollando competencias docentes. En cuanto a la segunda escala, los participantes informaron de que esta estrategia ofrece enormes ventajas para la práctica docente, incentiva la participación, la inclusión y el aprendizaje cooperativo, supone un gran apoyo para el docente, y puede fomentar una educación en valores, coeducativa y ambiental. Se discute la relevancia de estos resultados en la formación de profesorado.Abstract. Research on the approach based on the self-made materials in physical education has shown positive effects in the psychological, social and educational dimensions of the students. As an aid in its implementation, a teaching strategy was experimented consisting in the design, elaboration and presentation of video-tutorials among prospective primary education teachers. The objectives were to analyze the perception of the students about this experience, to study their beliefs and attitudes towards this teaching strategy as future teachers, and to check possible differences according to gender. 120 (70 men and 50 women) students enrolled in year-3 of the Bachelor of Arts (Physical Education) participated. The ages ranged between 19 and 40 years of age (N = 21.87, SD = 2.39). A pre-experimental design with post-treatment measures was carried out. An ad hoc questionnaire of 39 items was elaborated, composed of two scales: Scale of Assessment of the Elaboration of Video-tutorials on Self-made Material, and Scale of Beliefs and Attitudes of the use of the Video-tutorial as a teaching strategy. The experience was very positive for participants. Both the process and the product were very satisfactory, improving their learning, encouraging their creativity and personal involvement, and developing teaching skills. Regarding the second scale, the participants reported that this strategy offers enormous advantages for the teaching practice, encourages participation, inclusion and cooperative learning, supposes a great support for teachers, and can promote an education in values, co-educational and environmental. The relevance of these results in teacher training is discussed.

The learning process that has been carried out in the General Chemistry practicum course during the COVID-19 pandemic is felt to be less than optimal. Learning General Chemistry during the Covid-19 pandemic was carried out boldly for theoretical material. However, another big problem is how to carry out practicum activities without laboratory access during the Covid-19 pandemic. Practical video media based on daily life utilizing computer technology in learning through practicum activities. Utilization of science and technology (science and technology) as a means of supporting learning is one of the positive impacts in developing knowledge. With the practical video in learning activities that are equipped with a combination of images and sound, the material can be visualized so that students can practice concluding and knowing laboratory materials and tools. Therefore, a step is needed to design a video tutorial based on daily life so that students can still do practicum through zoom because the tools and practicum materials are designed that are easy for students to support. Based on research conducted on K09 class students of Chemical Education, Raja Ali Haji Tanjungpinang University, it can show that the activities and responses of students to daily life-based practicum video tutorials are very good. So that the video media tutorial for general chemistry practicum based on everyday life can be used in the learning process. Keywords: covid19; practice; general chemistry; video

Transformative Writing

AbstractWriting practices in nursing education programs are situated in a tension-filled context resulting from competing medical-technical and relational nursing discourses. The goal of this qualitative meta-study is to understand, from the student perspective, how the context for writing in nursing is constructed and the benefits of writing to nursing knowledge development. A literature search using the CINHAL, Medline, ERIC, and Academic Search complete databases, using systematic methods identified 21 papers and dissertations which gathered qualitative interview or survey data from students in nursing at the pre-registration, continuing education, and graduate levels. The studies provided evidence that writing assignments promote professional identity development but overemphasis on writing mechanics when grading have a deleterious effect on learning and student engagement with writing. Relationship building with faculty should extend beyond what is needed to maximize grades. Suggestions for writing pedagogical reform are identified to facilitate a change in focus from mechanical-technical to transformative writing.

Abstract High self-efficacy beliefs and effective self-regulatory strategies are increasingly important in academic settings, and especially in developing academic writing skills. This article deals with how students develop academic writing skills in two different pedagogical settings (as autonomous learners and in a traditional learning environment), and how this is associated with the students’ self-regulatory strategies and self-efficacy beliefs. In the study, self-regulatory skills referred to the ability to take charge of, manage and organize the learning process, while self-efficacy beliefs were defined as the strength of students’ confidence to accomplish an extensive task and sense of succeeding. The method was quantitative, including some qualitative elements, and data was elicited through a survey answered by 150 students, after they had attended courses in academic writing. The survey consisted of 1 open-ended question and 16 multiple-choice questions (a five-point Likert scale). The data was analyzed using SPSS. The results show that self-regulatory skills and self-efficacy beliefs have a greater impact on learning academic writing skills in traditional learning settings than in learning settings where the students are supposed to work more independently, and where teacher support is not available to the same extent.

In a critical study, researchers explored academic writing experiences of three international female graduate students at a southern U.S. university in order to understand their perspectives of themselves as writers across cultures, their experiences with academic writing, and their coping strategies for academic writing assignments. Findings revealed participants’ challenges and self-doubts about second-language writing abilities. Participants both challenged disconfirmation of their writing and at times were submissive as they negotiated a graduate degree program. The study demonstrates need for universities to recognize marginalized groups’ knowledge and ways of knowing and to create spaces to discuss new possibilities for academic writing experiences among international students.
