<p>This research investigated the implementation of Flipped Approach in EFL classroom with the implementation of the E-learning platform. The participants were 42 sophomore English majors of Advanced Paragraph Writing class at Jember University. A within-subjects research design exposed all participants to have Writing Class by flipped learning and to use the E-learning platform. A one-shot survey design was used in this research by distributing two questionnaires “Perception of Flipped Learning Experience” and “Technology Acceptance Model” and doing the in-class observations as “Flipped Note” to collect the data. Data were analyzed quantitatively through SPSS 16.0 by applying the formula of Descriptive Statistics. The results of this research revealed that the implementation of the flipped approach in the classroom: (1) motivated the students in learning the materials, (2) enhanced the students’ knowledge, (3) and engaged them more in the learning tasks. They explained that the flipped approach gave them a new experience in language learning processes, in which they learned the materials before coming to the classroom so that they could criticize the materials. This way of learning aligns with the idea of student-centred learning. It is notable, however, that the students who did not learn the materials yet, could not criticize the materials and could not reach better outcomes in flipped classroom Moreover, the use of E-learning in the flipped classroom gave the students beneficial outcomes in the learning processes. Students revealed on the Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire that E-learning facilitates them properly, and they wanted to look forward to having E-learning in the future learning processes. Despite this finding, there remain limitation on the “server down” issue which needs to be straightened for more accessible E-learning among users.</p>

This study aims to investigate the insights of students and teacher in the implementation of online-based instruction with the Flipped Learning method applied in academic writing class, where students get material online from the teacher and study independently at home. Flipped classroom is basically a combination of e-learning and face-to-face instructional principles. This study involved Indonesian university students and 1 teacher who applied flipped learning method in an academic writing class. The result shows that students tend to like this method because it saves more time and the material can be repeated according to their needs. On the other hand, the teacher also likes the implementation of this method because students become more active in discussions with the knowledge they have gained prior to the class. However, students also admit that they are still unfamiliar with online learning platform used. The teacher also has difficulty in finding suitable teaching materials that can attract students' interests. However, in general, students and teacher both agree that the implementation of flipped learning in writing class is suitable.

Abstract This study discusses the acceptance of the use of e-learning and games in learning Arabic during the COVID-19 pandemic. Arabic learning experienced considerable challenges in learning before the pandemic and now with the pandemic, this process has even greater challenges which ultimately require an Arabic language learning method that adapts to the generation, situation and condition of the people who are experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic so that learning can still be carried out with good and fun outcomes. This research through its five hypotheses which are built based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory, shows that with the use of e-learning and games, a positive perception of convenience which then supports usefulness and ultimately affects the attitudes and behaviour of users in learning Arabic can be proven by the acceptance of the five the hypothesis. The consistent use of e-learning and games in learning, especially Arabic learning and the implementation of e-learning and games to support the curriculum are expected to improve student learning experiences for the better and also increase the actual use of both methods.   Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas tentang penerimaan penggunaan e-learning dan gim dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Arab selama Pandemi COVID-19. Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab mengalami tantangan yang cukup besar dalam pembelajaran sebelum pandemi dan sekarang dengan adanya pandemi, proses ini memiliki tantangan yang lebih besar yang akhirnya membutuhkan sebuah metode pembelajaran bahasa Arab yang menyesuaikan dengan situasi generasi, situasi dan kondisi masyarakat yang sedang mengalami pandemi COVID-19 agar pembelajaran tetap dapat dilaksanakan dengan hasil keluaran yang baik dan menyenangkan. Penelitian ini melalui kelima hipotesisnya yang dibangun berdasarkan teori Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), menunjukkan bahwa dengan penggunaan e-learning dan gim, persepsi positif tentang kemudahan yang kemudian menunjang kebermanfaatan dan akhirnya mempengaruhi sikap dan perilaku pengguna dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab dapat dibuktikan dengan penerimaan kelima hipotesis tersebut. Penggunaan e-learning dan gim secara konsisten dalam pembelajaran khususnya pembelajaran Bahasa Arab dan implementasi e-learning dan gim untuk mendukung kurikulum diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengalaman belajar siswa menjadi lebih baik dan juga meningkatkan penggunaan keduanya secara aktual.

Supporting education and training initiatives has been identified as an effective way to address Sustainable Development Challenges. In this sense, e-learning stands out as one of the most viable alternatives considering its advantages in terms of resources, time management, and geographical location. Understanding the reasons that move users to adopt these technologies is critical for achieving the desired social objectives. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) provides valuable guidelines to identify the variables shaping users’ acceptance of innovations. The present study aims to validate a TAM extension designed for FARMER 4.0, an e-learning application in the agricultural sector. Findings suggest that content quality (CQ) is the primary determinant of farmers’ and agricultural entrepreneurs’ perception of the tool’s usefulness (PU). Furthermore, experience (EXP) and self-efficacy (SE) shape potential users’ perceptions about ease of use (PEOU). This study offers helpful insight into the design and development of e-learning applications in the farming sector and provides empirical evidence of TAM’s validity to assess technology acceptance.

In order to enable online learning to continue developing when the COVID-19 pandemic passes, this study aimed to identify the critical factors that affected the use of e-learning by university students during the pandemic. These critical factors will help to increase the efficiency of future development and deployment of online learning systems. Through a literature review, this study employed the technology acceptance model, social support, and task–technology fit as the theoretical basis to establish the framework of the online learning environment with regards to the technology acceptance model in the context of emergency management. A questionnaire survey was administered to students in universities that had implemented online teaching during the pandemic, and 552 valid responses were collected. The survey explored the factors affecting the willingness of higher education institution students to continue using online learning, and the following conclusions were drawn. (1) The easier an online learning platform was to navigate, the better it was perceived by the students, and thus the students were more willing to use it. (2) Ease of use and usefulness were associated with the teachers’ choice of platform and their ability to achieve a satisfactory fit between the course design and platform navigation, which thereby affected the students’ learning outcomes and attitude towards use. (3) The positive attitude of teachers towards teaching increased the students’ perceived ease of use of online learning. (4) During the pandemic, family support—a major support for teachers in online teaching—enhanced teachers’ attitudes towards, and willingness to provide, online teaching. A high level of support showed that the parents urged the students to learn and complete online learning tasks as instructed by the teachers, implying that family support could affect the students’ habits towards, adaptation to, and identification of online learning. The study results provide insights into the factors affecting the willingness of teachers and students to continue using e-learning platforms.

Banyak murid yang mengeluh karna merasa tidak cocok dengan  gaya  mengajar dari guru. Terjadi penolakan  dalam  diri  mereka sehingga menjadi malas, bosan dan stress. Selama ini masih digunakan video tutorial dan power point untuk belajar. Tetapi masih kurang interaktif. Kekurangan dari penggunaan video dan slide presentasi bisa dilengkapi dengan penggunaan website untuk pembelajaran. Website yang dinamis dan kemudahan pencarian informasi sangat diperlukan untuk mendukung kegiatan belajar. Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah membuat sebuah website yang memberikan layanan belajar dengan penyajian materi sesuai kebutuhan siswa.

Purpose -Response to the sudden pandemic, COVID-19 drastic shift of work practices requires the implementation of an e-learning system, but their adoption requires a thorough understanding of the user acceptance process. Our key effort is to incorporate a framework, “internet experience” to determine the existing Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) applicability in describing students’ s e-learning decisions in Haryana state. Design/methodology- The researcher has administered a questionnaire based on TAM’s constructs and collected data from UG and PG students of Haryana state of India. Findings – The results revealed that perceived usefulness (PU) has a significant positive relationship with continuous usage intention (CUI) whilst, perceived ease of use (PEOU), computer self-efficacy (CSE) and internet experience (IE) have not. Attitude towards E-learning system (ATELS) has found no relevance in this model. Originality/value Majority research has been done using the TAM model in a developed nation. Empirical study has not been done in Haryana state so far.
