Listening is one of the most important communicative skills and at the same time the Achilles heel of many L2 learners as it entails multi-level cognitive processes (Lynch, 2002). Besides, the measures of self-efficacy, as Zimmerman and Martinez-Pons (1990) claim, are closely tied to effective use of learning strategies. Considering the key role that concept mapping, as an indispensable cognitive learning strategy, and self-efficacy play on an individual’s achievement (Bandura, 1997; Chularut & DeBacker, 2004), the present study aimed to examine the influence of explicit teaching and utilization of concept mapping on Iranian EFL students’ listening achievement and perceived self-efficacy. The participants were sixty upper-intermediate university students, studying English as a foreign language. They were randomly assigned into two groups: One control and one experimental group, each containing thirty participants. The students in the experimental group were taught and trained to utilize concept mapping while doing listening tasks, and the instruments were a self-efficacy questionnaire and a test of listening achievement. The findings showed that the experimental group performed better in the listening achievement test after learning to use concept mapping. Likewise, their perceived self-efficacy in accomplishing listening tasks improved after the intervention period.

Team Based Learning

Background: Todays modern and future cardio-respiratory physiotherapists are, and will be, presented with ubiquitous and uncertain complex problems in professional life. Yet, to date, teaching approaches lack robust scientific evidence of optimal learning to stimulate students active cognitive engagement of higher-order skills beyond knowledge and skills transfer and are only focused on graduation. For the past two decades, pedagogy recommends the use of active learning strategies to enhance authentic student engagement, self-efficacy, and satisfaction. In recent years, team-based learning (TBL) is emerging as a popular student-centered active collaborative learning strategy that promotes individual and team learning in medical and allied health education. Objective: This paper reports on the design and impact of the novel Hybrid Team-Based learning" (H-TBL) on students engagement and perceptions of their learning experience in a Year 2 undergraduate physiotherapy Cohort. Study Design : A retrospective study. Methods: In 2019, a keynote lecture on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) was taught using a novel hybrid team-based learning" (H-TBL) comprising phases 1-4, delivered in two sessions (COPD1 and 2) to our year two (n=136), undergraduate physiotherapy students. Results: Of 136 students, 82% engaged in Phase 1, 80% attended Phase 2, and 3 of COPD 2 sessions, and 74% engaged in phase 4. 72% provided their perception of their learning experience. Conclusion: The majority of our students valued the learning experience in H-TBL design. This study confers that H-TBL supports students active engagement and self- efficacy. Future randomized studies are mandated to explore the validity and specificity of H-TBL in the physiotherapy curriculum.

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the project-based learning strategy on developing third graders' leadership skills. The research questions were addressed using the experimental approach. The researchers purposively sampled 76 third graders from Al Zaitun Co-ed Elementary C School in Gaza and randomly sampled two classes of third graders. Participants were divided into two equivalent groups, each consisting of 38 students. The project-based learning strategy was used for teaching English to the experimental group, whereas the traditional method was used for the control group. The study tool consisted of an observation card on which the student's leadership skills were rated pre- and post-application. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Independent samples t-test and effect size were used in the analysis. Results revealed higher mean scores in leadership skills for the experimental group in the post-application observation card. The researchers attributed these findings to the project-based learning strategy and recommend its use in teaching English to develop leadership skills. Further research is needed to investigate the effect of other project-based learning strategies on other grade levels and life skills.

In this article, the results of a mixed-methods study integrating the use of simulations in a nursing theory course in order to assess students' perceptions of self-efficacy for nursing practice are presented. Nursing students in an intervention group were exposed to a combination of lecture and simulation, and then asked to rate their perceptions of self-efficacy, satisfaction and effectiveness of this combined teaching and learning strategy. Based on Bandura's (1977, 1986) theory of self-efficacy, this study provides data to suggest that students' self-confidence for nursing practice may be increased through the use of simulation as a method of teaching and learning. Students also reported higher levels of satisfaction, effectiveness and consistency with their learning style when exposed to the combination of lecture and simulation than the control group, who were exposed to lecture as the only method of teaching and learning.

The Impact

AbstractLanguage learning strategies (LLS) are suggested to facilitate learning and support learner autonomy. The integration of content and language in foreign language education increases the cognitive work load. Furthermore, self-efficacy has been identified as a key predictor for strategy use and language achievement. The present study aimed to (1) investigate LLS use in content-based versus traditional foreign language environments and (2) assess the impact LLS use and self-efficacy have on language proficiency. Participants were Year 9 Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and regular English as a foreign language (EFL) students (N=378) in Germany. Structural equation modelling, controlling for a range of confounding variables, showed that (1) there was no difference in LLS use between CLIL and EFL students. (2) LLS use had a negative impact while self-efficacy predicted higher language proficiency. These results suggest that students may best be supported by enhancing their self-efficacy while they should carefully choose their strategies.

The proficiency in English language has become a necessity in the modern world. The competency of using the language efficiently lies in the right choice of words. Learning words and improving vocabulary skills have become peremptory among the tertiary level students that they cannot exempt themselves from learning it. A large vocabulary collection allows the students to regulate and organise their thoughts with clarity. In order to facilitate effective use of words, many techniques, approaches and strategies have been devised by teacher-researchers to help the learners not only in acquiring wide vocabulary but also to have active vocabulary. Authors on realizing the importance of facilitating tertiary level engineering students not only to acquire wider vocabulary but also make them to understand, retain and use the learnt word appropriately have attempted to use cognitive learning activities in classroom. The paper registers methods and implications of cognitive learning activities on enhancing vocabulary of a set of 55 engineering college students. According to oxford English dictionary, Cognition is "the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses". This brings about many aspects such as attention, memory, reasoning, problem solving, decision making and production of language. The ultimate aim of incorporating cognitive learning approach through learning activities in a classroom gears up them to remember, understand, retain, apply, evaluate, and create. The researcher tried to bring out the classroom learning activities that enabled the students to develop learning strategies that instigates autonomous learning.

<p class="apa">The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of concept mapping on mastery goal orientation and academic self-efficacy in a collaborative learning environment. The current study employed a randomized controlled pretest-posttest group design to examine if learning strategies such as concept mapping can help students with both reading comprehension achievement and intrinsic motivation of wanting to master a task at a high level. A total of 42 5th grade students at Ilshin Elementary School in South Korea participated in this study. The experiment group (<em>n</em>=22) has undergone concept mapping training while the control group (<em>n</em>=20) has not. All students were required to fill out questionnaires based on mastery goals, performance goals and academic self-efficacy. The results indicated that concept-mapping did not increase mastery goals and mastery goals had no effect on test scores. In addition, the interaction effect between academic self-efficacy and condition did not increase mastery goals and had no effect on test scores. In conclusion, the reduced number of samples may have caused a potential source of instability considering the statistical procedure chosen.</p>
