scholarly journals Student-Centered Group-Based Learning System

This study developed a student-centered group-based learning system. The system requirements were gathered from relevant literature on pedagogy and WebRTC. The study identified social loafing as a major drawback of most student-centered learning groups. The system was designed using block, architectural pattern, flow-chart, use-case, sequence, class and architectural-context diagrams and the system’s application logic was implemented using ASP.NET C#; HTML, JAVASCRIPT and BOOTSTRAP for the front-end and SQL for the database, HangFire and SignalR for the reminder and texting system. SendGrid API for reminders and OpenVidu Media server for video and audio-calling. The system has been tested and proven to be effective in providing different forms of communication and structure to group-learning that reduces social loafing, and can be recommended for tertiary institutions who want to promote a better student-student relationship for improved learning.

There have been many models proposed in the past decade on the best practices in teaching and learning processes, especially in medical education. The main trend is a major shift from tutor-centered system to student-centered learning processes with the aid of information technology and communications, more often called e-learning. The introduction of problem-based learning (PBL) and student centered team based learning SCTL) in the early 80's became a trend which spread like wildfire in most modern medical schools. The acceptance of these new methodology received different reactions, mainly from the tutors, most of whom were split on whether the need of change was really necessary, asking the main question of "what is wrong with the traditional methods" or "have we produced inefficient doctors through the years of traditional system teachings". It seemed for some time that a significant number of older generation tutors were much more comfortable with the methods they were used to. Considerable curricular changes were made by many medical institutes to implement the student centered learning system. This approach, however, necessitated the training of tutors and the creation of a learning environment, which was later found not to be too easy. The major consideration of a shift in techniques of teaching learning processes is the understanding of the trends in the younger generation of the Y2K century. A generation which prefers to express rather than listen, to research and find rather than being spoon-fed and a generation where knowledge is always available whenever they are connected to the internet. Hence the change of the role of tutors to be facilitators rather than content providers was seen to be more acceptable to the new generation of students. The advancing information technology (IT) has been able to provide the necessary tools to achieve that objective. The students may be granted the opportunity to have more freedom in selecting their learning material and to enjoy a degree of distance-learning. The consequence of applying IT in medical institutes would, probably, enforce the trend towards moving to a student-centered learning environment, inducing hesitant tutors to become more compliant with the change. The future medical curriculum is anticipated to be more student-centered, more modular, more integrated, more PBL or SCTL-oriented and more inter-institutionalized, with less memorizing and with more learning about learning. In addition, medical education as a whole at least in part, would be, performed at distance. The future medical tutor may have to be more PBL-oriented, more qualified in learning strategies, competent in small group (probably single-student) learning, more of a 'mentor' or a 'facilitator' than of a 'teacher', able to train students at higher cognitive levels rather than being an 'authority' in its field. He has no choice but to be fluent in IT, and interactive with learning via other learning-collaborating institutions. Key Words: Medical education.

Educational development demands different ways of thinking and act from what have already existed. Ideal learning system must be able to provide a learning experience for students, to open up their potential for internalizing knowledge, skills and attitudes through their learning experiences. It can be done by applying an active learning method through student centered learning (SCL), one of these methods is STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division). This type teaches cooperation, responsibility, interaction, confidence, decision-making, communication, and conflict management. With this method, partograph filling skill as the core competencies of midwifery students in labor monitoring may increase..  This research aims to determine the effect of STAD method on partograph filling skill of midwifery students. This was a comparative study to compare the level of student skill in filling up partograph before and after applying cooperative learning using STAD method. The results obtained in this study showed that there was a very significant difference of the skill of students before and after using cooperative learning of STAD method, with a p-value is 0.001. Student centered learning using STAD method is proved to be more significant to improve student competence of filling up partograph.

While reflecting on my teaching strategies and researching social loafing for my dissertation, I realized this endeavor has given me a stronger grasp of the pedagogical approaches to facilitate cooperative learning. Observing, sharing, and reflecting on specific social loafing experiences using Gibbs’ reflective framework allowed me, with time, to better conceptualize the dynamics of university-level group projects. Leveraging my experience and insightful research analysis on group dysfunctionalities inside and outside the classroom has gradually reshaped my understanding of the social loafing phenomenon. Nurturing my professional development through this reflective practice allowed me to create an ongoing coaching relationship with students (and later with faculty), and to generate a list of best practices for cooperative learning that can result in higher group achievements and improved learning outcomes. Key words: Teaching, learning, Graham Gibbs’ reflective framework, reflective practice, social loafing, team-based learning, cooperative learning, groups, teams, John Dewey reflective theory, group projects, Stephen Brookfield lenses.

The characteristics of the direct education system that depends on the ability of instructors reflection, only provide little opportunity for students to be actively involved in the learning process. This contrasts with the characteristics of the Software Modeling course which emphasizes student-centered learning. The application of direct learning models in the Modeling Software course causes learning to be ineffective, and students cannot reach the minimum competency standards planned in the learning design. This paper proposes a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model that is integrated in the Learning Modeling Software design on three elements of the teaching system, namely: Curriculum elements, emphasizing the use of problems as the starting point of student learning; Group elements, highlighting the collaboration system; and student elements, emphasizing the Student-Directed-Learning (SDL) system. The application of the PBL model to the three elements in the learning system is effective in increasing the level of student mastery of a particular topic. However, further discussion regarding: 1) how many guidelines are needed in PBL; 2) potential students experience confusion if there is not enough initial learning framework; 3) students who do not have relevant and adequate initial knowledge, tend to experience underdevelopment are still needed to find PBL models that are truly effective in learning the field of Software Engineering.

Moving classes is teaching and learning systems that provide a new atmosphere in the learning process. This system is characterized by the moved class where students will move in accordance with the scheduled subjects. The concept of moving class refers to a student-centered learning and provides a dynamic environment in accordance with what they learn. It is very influential to the development of education in an effort to improve the quality of human life. The results of this study showed that according to the writer�s observation and study, SMP IT Sahabat Alam has not implemented yet the learning system that based on moving class learning that requires it has its own classroom space for each subject. But the school has its own unique characteristics and the learning system is to be based on a natural learning system that is suitable to the material. In addition, SMP IT Sahabat Alam has several activities that are of Islamic education include learning the Qur�an, Qur�an Night, Tadabur Alam, all of them still have a link to the learning of Islamic education that is done out of the class and class hours.
