The study developed a sustainable curriculum in which one smart technology (drone) was employed to inspire student learning. The study investigated the effect of using drones on the development of students’ spatial visualization and sequencing skills and examined related instructional tasks for drone use in the classroom. An after-school drone-flying program was developed at a public elementary school in Taiwan, with 10 third-grade students voluntarily participating in a six-week educational experiment. During drone programming training, young children used a visual block programming language on tablet computers to code lightweight drones. A two-phase research model was adopted to collect the necessary information. In the first phase of the model, a design-based research methodology facilitated the overall instruction preparation process for the four-week workshops. The second phase of the model emphasized a mixed-method research approach, employing a quasi-experimental pretest and post-test design to analyze the effect of drone use and a qualitative method to observe students’ learning behavior and programming work. The results showed that drone programming significantly improved students’ learning of spatial visualization and sequencing skills. Gender, as a potential variable, only influenced students’ programming patterns. Specific programming styles, learning behaviors, and instructional design issues were identified for further discussion.

Social And Environmental Reporting

Social and environmental accounting has attracted growing attention from companies in Indonesia as these companies face an increasing pressure to report their social and environmental responsibilities to the public. Despite this trend, however, Indonesia lacks a social and environmental reporting model that is relevant to its business environment, i.e., a model that incorporates the spiritual dimension, and not merely the economics, social, and environmental dimensions. The main aim of this study was to explore the spiritual dimension of the social and environmental reporting practices of a tourism company in Bali. The exploration was based on Tri Hita Karana, a local societal value held by the people of Bali. This study employed a two-phase research approach, where the first phase focused on exploring the social and environmental reporting practices of the company, while the second phase centered on refining and assessing the applicability of this reporting model in other companies. The results of this study show that the appropriate model of social and environmental accounting for Indonesian companies should consist of four dimensions: economic, environmental, social, and spiritual. Among these dimensions, the implementation of the spiritual dimension in social and environmental accounting faces the greatest challenges.

This study aims to identify the factors which hinder the implementation of IL instructions programmes or prevent their systematic development in Pakistani medical institutions. This study adopted a two-phase, sequential mixed method research design. In first phase, head librarians of all (114) academic medical institutions in Pakistan were surveyed. Response rate was 61.5 %. In second phase, 20 purposively selected head librarians were interviewed. There was a consensus between the head librarians employed at public and private sector medical institutions that out of 12 barriers identified in this study, "lack of training opportunities for IL instruction for librarians" and "lack of policy regarding IL instruction in the medical institutions" were the two most significant barriers to IL instruction programmes in medical institutions. These findings suggest future direction for pre- and in-service education of librarians to prepare themselves to provide IL instruction. A clearly stipulated IL policy may be formulated and implemented in all medical institutions. The findings of this study are expected to enable medical librarians to be more aware of the barriers while planning and providing IL instruction in medical institutions.
