This research validates the University Learning Strategy Scale (EEA) used by Martins and Zerbini (2014), among Business and Management students of semi-presential courses. The sample had 350 observations obtained from students of a Higher Education Institution based in the State of São Paulo. Preliminary results showed that although the Learning Strategies Scale (LES) was developed and validated in a hybrid context application, in this research it was applied to the semi-present context and its results were satisfactory, presenting high internal consistency indices, with alphas of Cronbach's of (α = 0.94) for the general scale. Regarding the four dimensions, the result was also very close to the LES with 1) (α = 0.92) for the Cognitive Strategies construct, 2) (α = 0.77) for Emotion Control, 3) (α = 0.85) for Self-Regulatory Strategies and 4) (α = 0, 83) for Interpersonal Help. This scale shows evidence of instrument validity.

Educational Computer Games

Educational computer games have been widely employed to facilitate students’ learning. Studies have pointed out that these games may improve students’ learning effectiveness when they are equipped with appropriate learning strategies. However, the role of learning strategies in students’ acceptance of educational computer games has received surprisingly little scholarly attention. Hence, this research proposed two learning scenarios to address this question. Students in the first scenario were offered an educational computer game with a learning strategy, while those in the second were offered the same game without the strategy. A quasi-experimental design with a research model was constructed to examine the role of learning strategies in students’ acceptance of the given game. In this study, 65 students participated in the two learning scenarios. Two research findings are presented: (1) the adoption of the learning strategy not only affected students’ acceptance of the game, but also made their perceived ease of use significantly influence their perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness, and attitude towards using; (2) with or without the learning strategy, perceived enjoyment was the most important factor that affected students’ acceptance of the game, while perceived usefulness, attitude towards using, and perceived control exerted no influence on this issue.

Purpose of Study: Creative thinking skills are indispensable for the investigation of a problem, finding and analyzing facts and data in solving the problem. The role of creative thinking in learning to prepare students to be a problem solver. The lack of empowerment of the creative thinking skills of students in the biology classroom can be caused by the non-optimal application of learning strategies. Methodology: This study was a quasi-experimental study designed to explore the effect of GI learning strategies, TTW, GITTW, and conventional learning in empowering creative thinking skills of students in high school. The research sample was 162 students of X grade of science majors SMA Muhammadiyah 1 in Surabaya, Indonesia academic year 2015/2016. Creative thinking skills of students measured by essay test given at the beginning and end of the study. Results: The results showed that the application of learning strategies affected the creative thinking skills of students. GITTW learning strategy can maximize the creative thinking skills empowerment. Also, note that the strategy TTW could improve creative thinking skills were higher than GI and conventional strategy. Implications/Applications: The GITTW strategy can be considered to be used by teachers as a learning strategy to empower creative thinking skills.

The Impact

The concept of inclusive leadership tends to be understood from different perspectives and contexts. However, there is a consensus that inclusive leadership has proven to be one of the effective leadership styles for ensuring sustainable development. Clearly, this is embedded in the leaders’ ability to recognise bias, demonstrate an open mindset, and most importantly have the ability to acknowledge and empower others, especially those at sub-managerial level who are mostly in touch with the realities of policy implementation within an institution. While studies have proven the impactful role of middle-level management towards organisational performance, it was clear that the middle-level management at the universities are those set of leaders that are usually in full engagement with the university community including lecturers and students, thereby making them wholly responsible for the implementation of university policies at micro level. However, this class of leaders seems to be excluded or not fully recognised in deliberating and taking managerial decisions in the university leadership. Consequently, the intention of this paper is to critically conceptualised the six empirically acknowledged concepts of inclusive leaders and leadership framework by Bourke and Dillon which are courage, commitment, cognisance of bias, curiosity, cultural intelligence as well as collaboration and fully contextualised them in higher educational institutions with respect to straightening the relevance of middle-level management in leading universities.

<p>This study aims to examine the college students in Taiwan for the attributes of how their English test scores are being affected by language learning strategy use. The university is recognized as a second-tier technology university in Taiwan, as the students are considered to have low levels of English proficiency and learning motivation. A group of 156 students from three colleges (Engineering, Business and Management, and Humanity and Social Science) participated in the study. The result found that the students from Humanity and Social Science have the highest mean scores on their English tests and the highest level language learning strategies among the three colleges at the university. Cognitive strategy is found to be the only statistically significant difference among the study students from three colleges; the other five strategies are not found to be statisically significant. Compensation strategy is found to be most frequently used by all of the students. Cognitive and metacognitive strategies are found to be the least used among the study group.</p>

          The present study aims at investigating the patterns of language learning strategy use employed by the sixth semester students of English language education program at the University of Muhammadiyah Jember. To achieve this objective, Oxford’s Strategy Inventory of Language Learning (SILL) (1990) along with a background questionnaire (a modified version of Oxford’s background questionnaire) were administered to the participants. The findings indicate that the research participants use language learning strategies at a high rate (more than 60%), but with differences in type and frequency of the individual learning strategies. The students reported a high frequent use of metacognitive and cognitive strategies. Other types of language learning strategies are also used by the students, although the frequency is lower than the previous two strategies. Based on the findings of the present study, some pedagogical implication were suggested to encourage students to reflect on their own strengths  and weaknesses in skills and content courses  and self-regulate learning so as to make progress with teachers’ assistance. Keywords:  language learning strategies  (LLS);  Strategy Inventory of Language Learning (SILL);  memory strategies; cognitive strategies; metacognitive strategies; socio-affective strategies; compensation strategies.

Penumpuan berlebihan kepada akademik dan suasana pembelajaran yang cenderung mengukur kecemerlangan berdasarkan prestasi dalam peperiksaan didapati tidak memberi  kelebihan kepada mahasiswa dalam memperolehi kemahiran insaniah melalui proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran (P&P) sesuatu mata kuliah. Kajian ini merupakan satu kajian awal dan sebagai permulaan memfokuskan kepada salah satu MPU iaitu TITAS. Ia bertujuan untuk menjelaskan inovasi yang dilaksanakan terhadap  kursus TITAS khususnya berkaitan strategi pembelajaran di Universiti Malaya dan melihat persepsi pelajar terhadap inovasi strategi pembelajaran yang menerapkan elemen Kemahiran Insaniah (KI) serta pencapaian mereka di dalam memperolehi KI tersebut. Sebagai satu kajian awal hanya dua elemen KI sahaja yang menjadi fokus iaitu kemahiran kerja berpasukan dan kemahiran berkomunikasi. Metode kajian yang digunakan adalah kajian perpustakaan bagi menjelaskan tentang pelaksanaan kursus TITAS dan menganalisis pencapaian pelajar dalam KI kursus ini. Soal selidik juga diedarkan kepada 120 mahasiswa yang telah mengambil mata kuliah TITAS dan dapatan kajian adalah secara deskriptif iaitu dalam bentuk peratusan dan kekerapan atau frekuensi untuk menganalisis data. Hasil kajian ini mendapati bahawa persepsi mahasiswa terhadap inovasi strategi pembelajaran dan metode penilaian yang dilaksanakan adalah baik. Ini telah memberi kesan yang baik juga kepada pencapaian yang diperoleh dalam penilaian kerja kursus dan pencapaian KI mereka.  Mahasiswa tidak menghadapi masalah dalam melaksanakan tugasan secara berkumpulan yang terdiri daripada pelbagai etnik dan latar belakang.INNOVATION ON TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR THE APPLICATION OF HUMAN SKILLS IN THE COURSE OF ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION AND ASIA (TITAS) AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR MALAYSIAExcessive focus on academics and learning environment that tends to measure excellence based on performance in examinations was found not to give an advantage to students in acquiring soft skills through the teaching and learning process (T&L) of a subject. This study is a preliminary study and as a start focuses on one of the MPU which is TITAS. It aims to explain the innovations implemented on TITAS courses, especially related to learning strategies at the University of Malaya, and look at students' perceptions of learning strategy innovations that apply the elements of Soft Skills (KI) and their achievements in obtaining the KI. As a preliminary study, only two elements of KI were the focus, namely teamwork skills and communication skills. The research method used is a library study to explain the implementation of the TITAS course and analyze student achievement in the KI of this course. Questionnaires were also distributed to 120 students who have taken TITAS courses and the findings of the study are descriptive in the form of percentage and frequency or frequency to analyze the data. The results of this study found that students' perceptions of the innovation of learning strategies and assessment methods implemented are good. This has also had a positive impact on the achievements obtained in the evaluation of coursework and their KI achievement. Students do not face problems in performing tasks in groups consisting of various ethnicities and backgrounds.
