This preliminary research  aimed at portraying the impact of Digital Learning System (DLS) implementation on student empowerment. This work used qualitative descriptive case study. First semester English students of a state university in Medan, Indonesia, negotiated to participate in the study. Grounded in dialogic interview, the results suggest that the enactment of DLS gives attractive lesson for the students. The students felt the instruction made them borderless between the students and the lecturers. Overall implementation of DLS enables students to reach minimum standardized criteria in their listening skills. Limitation and further recommendation for next research are also presented

The paper adopts a descriptive case study method to examine the impact of juristic views on the operations of two Malaysian takaful companies. In order to achieve this objective, the annual financial reports of both companies were analysed. Interviews with each company’s finance managers and with a member of the Malaysian Shariah Advisory Council were undertaken for a more in-depth coverage. Also a written correspondence with a senior official of the central bank was accomplished. Similarities and differences between the two companies were identified and it is concluded that the differences are serious enough to warrant interventions from the regulators in the form of mandatory disclosures in the annual reports.

With COVID-19 placing a strain on its public institutions, the Dominican Republic is attempting to ensure a streamlined digital education process by extending Digital Republic, a past initiative that provides online frameworks and platforms for its students and teachers. However, already existing issues are exacerbating access to education for vulnerable communities. While past policies included special needs services, the following initiative has yet to provide information on access for disabled students. Low-income students face financial challenges to gain the resources necessary to thrive during remote learning. Likewise, migrants from Haiti and those of Haitian descent continue to be left out of the conversation. The following case study explores the country’s education system, how its policies benefit certain groups and negatively impact others. By conducting in-depth policy analysis and interviews with local officials, the study analyzes the impact of digital learning during the pandemic among vulnerable communities in the country.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kualitas kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa yang diberi pembelajaran dengan pendekatan Pembelajaran Matematika Realistik (PMR) pada materi segi empat pokok bahasan persegi dan persegi panjang. Jenis penelitian adalah studi kasus deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VII(6) SMP Negeri 15 Medan yang berjumlah 40 orang, kemudian diangkat subjek yang dianalisis secara kualitatif ditinjau dari aspek indikator kemampuan (tinggi, sedang dan rendah), aspek kesalahan dan aspek jawaban kosong. Instrumen penelitian terdiri dari: Tes kemampuan komunikasi matematis dan lembar panduan wawancara. Teknik analisis data meliputi pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa 22,5% kategori tinggi, 37,5% kategori sedang dan 40% kategori rendah. Selanjutnya melalui analisis kualitatif diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa: 1) Siswa berkemampuan tinggi yaitu mampu dalam berkomunikasi secara matematis dengan baik; 2) Siswa berkemampuan sedang kurang mampu dalam bekomunikasi secara matematis; 3) Siswa berkemampuan rendah tidak mampu berkomunikasi secara matematis; 4) Kesalahan siswa terjadi dalam memahami permasalahan, menggunakan konsep-konsep dan langkah-langkah yang dibutuhkan untuk penyelesaian masalah; 5) Pada jawaban kosong siswa tidak mampu memahami langkah-langkah penyelesaian masalah, siswa kurang mampu dalam menggunakan dan menerapkan operasi hitung, siswa tidak mampu memahami konsep-konsep dalam penyelesaian masalah. Kata kunci: analisis kualitatif; komunikasi matematika; matematika realistik This article aims to describe the quality of mathematical communication skills of students who are given learning with Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on rectangular material, square and rectangular subject matter. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive case study. The subjects of this study were students of class VII(6) of SMP Negeri 15 Medan totaling 40 people, then the subject was analyzed qualitatively from the aspect of capability indicators (high, medium and low), Error aspects and empty answer aspects. The research instrument consisted of mathematical communication skills test and interview guide sheet. Data analysis techniques included data collection, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that students' mathematical communication skills were 22.5% in the high category, 37.5% in the medium category and 40% in the low category. Furthermore, through qualitative analysis, it was concluded that: 1) Students with high abilities are able to communicate mathematically well; 2) Students with average abilities are less capable in communicating mathematically; 3) Low-ability students are not able to communicate mathematically; 4) Student errors occur in understanding problems, using concepts and steps needed to solve problems; 5) In the empty answer students are not able to understand the problem solving steps, students are less able to use and apply the counting operation, students are not able to understand the concepts in solving problems.

We introduce a novel approach to visualizing temporal clickstream behaviour in the context of a degree-satisfying online course, Habitable Worlds, offered through Arizona State University. The current practice for visualizing behaviour within a digital learning environment is to generate plots based on hand-engineered or coded features using domain knowledge. While this approach has been effective in relating behaviour to known phenomena, features crafted from domain knowledge are not likely well suited to making unfamiliar phenomena salient and thus can preclude discovery. We introduce a methodology for organically surfacing behavioural regularities from clickstream data, conducting an expert in-the-loop hyperparameter search, and identifying anticipated as well as newly discovered patterns of behaviour. While these visualization techniques have been used before in the broader machine-learning community to better understand neural networks and relationships between word vectors, we apply them to online behavioural learner data and go a step further, exploring the impact of the parameters of the model on producing tangible, non-trivial observations of behaviour that suggest pedagogical improvement to the course designers and instructors. The methodology introduced in this paper led to an improved understanding of passing and non-passing student behaviour in the course and is applicable to other datasets of clickstream activity where investigators and stakeholders wish to organically surface principal patterns of behaviour.
