Development of ICT-Based Didactic Interventions for Learning Sustainability Content: Cognitive and Affective Analysis

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been recognized as innovative resources for improving the teaching–learning process. The aim of this study was to design and validate ICT-based learning interventions for sustainability content from a cognitive and affective perspective. Specifically, didactic resources based on a discovery learning model, such as WebQuest and video games, have been used. The research design was of a quasi-experimental type with three groups of students who were given pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The sample was made up of 81 secondary school students, selected by means of non-probability sampling. The cognitive, behavioral, attitudinal, and emotional variables of the students were measured according to the teaching methodologies used. As a measurement instrument, a questionnaire was designed, composed of several blocks in relation to the variables under study. The results obtained reveal that ICT has a positive influence on the academic progress experienced by students, with the students who used video games obtaining better results than those who used WebQuest. The didactic interventions did not modify the attitude or the environmental behavior of the students regardless of the methodology used. Regarding emotions, it was observed that didactic interventions with ICT positively affected the emotions experienced by the students and contributed to fighting boredom.

In this research, a study is made of the effect of the application of Pólya's problem-solving heuristic on the development of geometric skills and its impact on academic performance. In the intervention, the topic of angles was developed, to a section of 25 fourth grade high school students in an educational center in the Municipality of Yamasá of the Monte Plata Province in the Dominican Republic. A quasi-experimental type design with a quantitative approach and correlational scope was used, with a non-probabilistic sample, with an intact group and a pre-test and post-test design. The results show that, through Pólya's problem-solving heuristic, students expanded their skills in geometry that greatly increased learning about angles. Corroborated by a growth in the average of the grades from 62.4% that was obtained in the pre-test, to 83.7% that was reached in the post-test, showing statistically that there are significant differences. It stands out that the Pólya heuristic was highly valued by the students under study, therefore, it is believed that it had a positive influence on the benefit of their learning about angles. In addition, the results of the post-test reveal that there is no relationship between the sex of the group under study and the scores obtained when the Pólya heuristic is applied.

The Impact

Recently, there has been a proliferation of technopedagogical practices, based on the application of active teaching and learning processes through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The main objective of this work is to analyse the impact of training action through the use of augmented reality in physical education for the development and acquisition of spatial orientation, as opposed to more traditional training based on the exhibition method. The methodology developed is quantitative, through a quasi-experimental design post-test in 140 high school students in the field of physical education. The results indicate that all of the dimensions show a very high, significant relationship. The greatest difference in average is observed in motivation. In contrast, the smallest difference, although significant, is observed in the grades given by the teachers themselves. It can be concluded that the method of teaching through augmented reality is effective in teaching high school students in the subject of physical education, especially for the acquisition of spatially oriented content.

Background: Flooding due to Citarum river overflowing is a natural phenomenon that is almost common every year, especially for the area around Citarum Dayeuhkolot. Floods cause various health problems, such as Dengue Haemorogic Fever (DHF). The high incidence of environmental-based infectious diseases in flood-prone villages in Dayeuhkolot is caused by problems in the health determinant factor which is associated with the still low awareness of the community that supports clean and healthy lifestyle behaviors (PHBS). Objective: To determine the effect of DHF prevention education on elementary school students' knowledge and attitudes. Methods: Quasi-experimental research design with pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted at Bojong Asih Elementary School, Pasawahan Elementary School, Cangkuang Elementary School, and Leuwi Bandung Elementary School in 2017. The samples in this study were all students in grades 4- 6 totaling 323 people. All students were given a questionnaire before the intervention and then given counseling about the prevention of DHF and given a questionnaire again to measure the level of knowledge and attitudes. Data analysis uses descriptive univariate analysis and bivariate t test. The approach method in this research uses the Integrated UKS method.

Spiral Model

Adequately selecting and applying the multi-model structure from the backdrop of cross-disciplinary learning in stimulating professionals’ research empowerment in distance higher education, is a regular focus of research. How the benefits of research is developed, nurtured, continuously enhanced, and sustained in value-driven academic activities is the direct consequence of learners’ emotionality. The study argues that distance learners learn meaningfully when their emotionality is adequate. Using the emotional spiral model, the study in a pre-test, post-test, control quasi-experimental research design evaluated the impact of behaviour techniques subsumed psychotherapeutically in facilitating learners’ emotional stability for inducing research competences. The distance learners were initially screened for their fears in research activities and quantitative abilities, and then subsequently allotted into four independent intervention sub-groups. Under the vantage application of psychotherapy, for a four-week out of a six-week maximum teaching-learning encounter, prior to the post-evaluation (i.e. post-test) period, the learners were exposed to the benefits of the reframing techniques, rational emotive bahaviour techniques, assignment method, and the control technique (i.e the non-treatment) group. Utilizing the analysis of variance statistical method at the 0.05 alpha, the findings showed that the participants’ research prowess improved tremendously with a statistically significant treatment effect [F (4, 1052) =7.52; P

Setengah dari sampel menyatakan bahwa selama ini kurang mendapatkan kesempatan berbicara bahasa Jepang dalam pembelajaran bahasa Jepang. Padahal saat ini siswa dituntut untuk dapat berbicara dan berkomunikasi secara global. Dan kemampuan berbicara adalah implementasi dari materi-materi pelajaran bahasa Jepang yang telah dipelajari. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, peneliti mengujicobakan metode cooperative learning tipe inside-outside circle dalam pembelajaran bahasa Jepang terhadap siswa XII IPA 2 SMA Pasundan 2 Bandung. Tujuan dari dilaksanakannya pembelajaran dengan metode ini adalah agar siswa mampu untuk berbicara dengan bahasa Jepang secara aktif dan menguji efektivitas dari metode tersebut.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen kuasi (pre-test and post-test one group). Teknik pengambilan sampling dengan cara random sampling. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa SMA Pasundan 2 Bandung dan sampelnya adalah 16 orang siswa kelas XII IPA 2 sebagai kelas eksperimen. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini adalah tes dan angket.Dari hasil analisa data tes diperoleh nilai t-hitung sebesar 4,205. Dan dengan db 15 pada tahap signifikansi 5% diperoleh t-tabel sebesar 2,13 dan signifikansi 1% diperoleh t-tabel sebesar 2,95. Karena nilai t-hitung > t-tabel , maka Hk diterima. Hal tersebut berarti terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada kemampuan berbicara siswa sebelum dan sesudah diterapkannya metode cooperative learning tipe inside-outside circle. Hal tersebut diperkuat dengan hasil angket yang menyatakan bahwa lebih dari setengah responden merasakan pengaruh penerapan metode cooperative learning tipe inside-outside circle terhadap kemampuan berbicara bahasa Jepang. Keyword: kemampuan berbicara, metode cooperative learning tipe inside-outside circleAbstractThis research was motivated by the lack of opportunity to speak Japanese during the class. 50% of the sample stated that they are have a small opportunity to speak Japanese during learning Japanese. Yet, in this time students are required to be able to talk and communicate globally. And the ability to speak is the implementation of Japanese language lessons. To overcome these problems, researcher tested the method of cooperative learning type of inside-outside circle in learning the Japanese language to students XII IPA 2 SMA Pasundan 2 Bandung. The purpose of the implementation of learning with this method is the students are able to speak japanese actively and to test the effectiveness of the method. This research uses a quasi experimental (pre-test and post-test one group). Sampling technique by means of random sampling. The population in this study were all high school students of SMA Pasundan 2 Bandung and the sample was 16 students of class XII IPA 2 as the experimental class. Instruments for this research is a test and questionnaire. From the analysis of obtained data, value t-count of 4,205. And with 15 db at this stage of the 5% significance was obtained t-table by 2.13 and 1% significance obtained t-table by 2.95. Because the value of t count> t-table, then Hk accepted. This means that there are significant differences in their speaking ability before and after the implementation of cooperative learning type of inside-outside circle. This is reinforced by the results of a questionnaire which states that more than half of the respondents feel the effect of the application of cooperative learning type of inside-outside circle of the ability to speak Japanese.
