Vital Factor

In the world of online education, teachers are constantly looking for ways to interact with students both synchronously and asynchronously. The next decade is likely to witness a considerable rise in the development of more advanced e-learning and m-learning tools since they have become a vital factor for education due to the global shutdown of learning activities forced by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper is a preliminary attempt to analyze the use of e-learning and m-learning technologies by Russian universities. E-learning and m-learning mean sharing knowledge and skills by using web- or mobile-based technology, respectively. The most commonly employed learning tools are social networks, LMS, and video conferencing which due to their accessibility, immediacy, interactivity, and context-awareness benefit both teachers and students in a number of ways.

ETextbook has changed the practice of classroom teaching and learning and made the virtual classroom and reality classroom together. This study aims to explore educational affordances on eTextbooks within iPads. To address this research goal, this case study reports findings from a four-week pilot study of using eTextbooks with 6 teachers and 144 students in one primary school in Beijing. The results show that five educational affordances of eTextbooks, including individuality learning materials, annotations and note-taking, multi-dimensional representation of knowledge, multi-touch and various interaction, and control the progress of multi-media materials presentation.

Technology Area

Two main building Kalimantan Institute of Technology was established on an area of 3500 m2 on October 6, 2014 which serves as the infrastructure for teaching and learning activities of students. The rapid increase in the number of students each year results in an increase in the number of buildings as facilities for teaching and learning. This is the background for the development of the Kalimantan Institute of Technology area by adding five more lecture buildings to support teaching and learning activities for 3500 students. The expansion area for five more lecture buildings is currently under construction in the area of ​​the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The function of the land area has been change due to building construction resulted in an increase in runoff discharge. This condition certainly affects the region if not handled properly. Increased runoff discharge will affect inundation or flooding in the area if it is not equipped with a drainage system as needed. This research is one alternative solution given. This research is in the form of a study on the implementation of a drainage master plan that aims to obtain drainage dimensions such as drainage width, drainage length and drainage depth by observing runoff due to rainwater using the concept of environmentally friendly drainage. The research obtained from the dimensions of tertiary canals with dimensions of 0.10-0.30 meters, secondary channels 0.30-0.45 meters and primary channels 0.35-0.70 meters with the discharge area of ​​the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences ITK is 1.18 m3/ sec.

<p>The focus of this research is to describe the strategy of adversity quotient for the management of the Community Learning Activity Center (PKBM) to develop innovations in turning barriers into opportunities for non-formal education programs. Qualitative research with this type of case study was carried out at PKBM Mentari, using structured interviews as the primary data collection method, in order to obtain primary data and document matrix methods to obtain secondary data. the data were analyzed using interactive techniques belonging to Miles and Huberman with the stages of data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of this study are the adversity quotient strategy that generally implemented by PKBM is very good, this can be seen from the indicators including: 1) Organizing learning activities flexibly in terms of time, so that it does not interfere with the daily activities of the community; 2) Provide learning at affordable costs so as not to burden the community in participating in learning; 3) Making the community the main partner in the continuation of teaching and learning activities at PKBM and 4) Building synergies with local village officials. The relatively short research time is the main limitation in compiling this study, so that it only maximizes the statements of the main informants. </p><p><strong> </strong></p>

Using the mother tongue (MT) in English as a foreign or second language (EFL/ESL) classrooms is indispensable, especially in beginner classes. This paper aims to add to the present literature on this issue by highlighting the attitudes of both students and teachers towards MT use in English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom, the justifications for its use, and some of the actual interaction practices in grammar classes. It investigates the attitudes of 110 Saudi EFL female beginners and their two teachers toward using the Arabic language in EFL grammar classes at Jazan University. It also investigates the students’ reasons for using or avoiding their MT. Moreover, it presents some of the functions that MT serves in EFL grammar classes. To collect the data, the researchers used two questionnaires and classroom observations. For data analysis, they used Microsoft Excel and thematic content analysis. The results indicated that, although both students and teachers generally have positive attitudes toward using the MT in EFL classes, they are also aware of the adverse effects of its overuse. The results also revealed that the teachers and students use MT in EFL classes to serve different classroom functions that ease the teaching and learning processes. Based on these findings, the study provided recommendations for teachers, curriculum designers, and future researchers.
