Search For Information

Introduction. Previous studies have shown that students have a high confidence in search engines. This poses a significant risk in learning processes if students do not have critical skills for document selection. This study provides clues about the quality of the information sources that university students access in their internet searches, and highlights critical thinking as a key competence in personalised information searches. Method. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a sample of fifty-eight university students who solved four information tasks. The sources were categorised according to the quality of their editorial process. Analysis. We stress the critical thinking in a realistic study regarding to both the interactions of university students with not enough validated sources and the type of information task working with. Results. The main finding of this study is that students mostly access to sources with a corporate publisher (52.9%) and alternative sources (40%). Consequently, the publisher type of the source is not related to the ranking elaboration. Conclusions. The greater access to information does not ensure the quality or veracity of it, confirming the need to promote the development of critical thinking.

Currently there are a large number of services and platform for organizing remote learning and manag-ing the quality of knowledge acquisition by university students. For example, Moodle, Ispring, Edmodo, Ёстади. All of them have a testing device, the ability to store and present theoretical material in different formats: in the form of audio, video, test, etc.Despite this, some areas are developing related to the improvement of tools and tools for knowledge control, analysis ofthe quality of the learning process, analysis of the quality of educational and methodological materials. There is a need for mobile components that allow students to evaluate and analyze the acquired knowledge in the learning process, actively identify missing knowledge, receive recommendations and advice at the right time, and thus effectively use classroom and extracurricular time.

Though academics and employers have demonstrated increasing interest in the skills learned by university students, less is known about student perceptions of the skills developed during a degree. In the current study, we examined students’ and working adults’ beliefs about the skills learned and not learned during their first degree. We also examined each group’s ability to define four career-related skills (communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership), and their self-evaluations of those skills. Data indicated very few differences in the beliefs of students and working adults about skills learned and not learned at university. In addition, the skills most frequently endorsed as “learned” and “not learned” were very similar to one another. Contrary to expectations, there were few group-based differences in the quality of skill-based definitions. In keeping with the hypotheses, there were no group-based differences in self-assessments of skills. Implications of these results for university courses and programs are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to determine the increase in students critical thinking skills after using e-modules oriented towards scientific literacy. This research is a quasi-experimental study using the Design Randomized Control Group Pretest-Posttest. The research sample consisted of 2 classes, namely class XI MIA 8 and XI MIA 10. The analysis results using the independent sample t-test obtained that a significance value of 0.026 <0.05. The results of the analysis of critical thinking skills test data using the N-gain score test for the experimental class obtained a value of 77.2% including the very high category. While the average N-gain score for the control class obtained a value of 55.2% included in the medium category. It can be concluded that there are significant differences in students critical thinking skills in the experimental class with the control class.

Critical Skills

Critical thinking skills play a vital role in a knowledge society and have a direct influence on the quality of teaching and learning. We aim at highlighting the way in which the graduation paper in Translation Studies can become an excellent opportunity to encourage students to test the applicability of key concepts from this field and to tackle research systematically. Based on our experience of supervising graduation papers on translation studies-related topics, we have identified students’ typical approaches and recurring difficulties. This allows us to suggest possible solutions for the problems encountered, depending on each stage of the process. Our purpose as supervisors is to endow students with the cognitive flexibility they need in order to draw up an adequate research plan, use translation assessment criteria creatively and hone their critical skills for future real-life situations.

Increasing Student Learning

This writing aims to help teachers to increase motivation, activity, creativity, and critical thinking of students in solving problems in class. The way to increase student motivation in learning in class is to choose the right learning model with ongoing learning material. One learning model that increases students' creativity and critical thinking in problem solving is a Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. To improve students' insights in order to easily solve problems there is a need to do tasks, if students do not do the task then they must accept the agreed upon consequences when making learning contracts, thus modifying the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model with task strategies and forced. The results of the modification of learning with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model through forced and forced strategies are expected to improve the learning process so that students become more disciplined and do not waste time doing assignments. The advantages of modifying the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model with task and forced learning strategies are increasing student learning motivation, improving the quality of learning, training students' understanding by giving assignments continuously, teaching discipline to students in order to be accountable for tasks assigned, and reducing laziness in students.
