How to Implement Game-Based Learning in a Smart Classroom? A Model Based on a Systematic Literature Review and Delphi Method

Game-based learning (GBL) can allow learners to acquire and construct knowledge in a fun and focused learning atmosphere. A systematic literature review of 42 papers from 2010 to 2020 in this study showed that the current difficulties in implementing GBL in classrooms could be classified into the following categories: infrastructure, resources, theoretical guidance, teacher’s capabilities and acceptance of GBL. In order to solve the above problems, the study constructs a technology enhanced GBL model, from the four parts of learning objective, learning process, learning evaluation, and smart classroom. In addition, this study adopted the Delphi method, inviting a total of 29 scholars, experts, teachers and school managers to explore how to implement GBL in smart classrooms. Finally, the technology enhanced GBL model was validated and the utilization approaches were provided at the conclusion part.

Enhancing 6th Grade Students’ Learning in Social Studies through Technology Based Teaching Approach

This quasi experimental study examined the effect of technology based teaching approaches on the 6th grade students’ learning in social studies subject. The participants of the study included two classes of 6th grade students: control group (n=25) and experimental group (n=24) in one of the middle schools in Bhutan. The research instruments consisted of experimental group treatment, survey questionnaire and semi-structured interview questions. The result suggested that there is an affirmative effect of technology based teaching approaches on the 6th grade students’ social studies learning achievement test. It was found that mean test scores of the experimental group were higher than the control group on pretest and post test analysis. Further, the findings from the study established that students had a positive perception of learning through technology based instructions, as learners enjoyed, and were better able to understand, what has been taught. The findings from the study concluded that teaching through technology based approaches enhanced students’ learning in the classroom, so, it is recommended that teachers apply technology based instructions as a tool to maximize student learning. In addition, building of smart classrooms through digitalization could support students with learning difficulties in different subjects.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Smart Classrooms during Covid-19 Pandemic and its impact on Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has revolutionized the education sector in terms of conducting classes. Especially during Covid-19 which affected significantly the education community resulting in the shift towards online learning rather than conventional classroom teaching. This study involves experiential learning during Covid-19 lockdown situation in the field of education, learning and teaching. It discusses how education practitioners can deal with Covid19 pandemic using the benefits of AI. AI innovation in education sector has contributed not only in education but also on human development. This research aims to identify the current situation of online classes and to propose a hybrid model of Education Management System (EMS) and Machine Learning (ML).

Chinese Language Education in the Era of Artificial Intelligence; Innovation Development, Pedagogy & the Smart Classroom

This research work has a particular emphasis that deals with innovation and development of international Chinese language teaching and learning within the classroom in the new era, especially with an emphasis on AI (artificial intelligence) as well as an emphasis on the creation of smart classrooms. This paper focuses on utilizing creative pedagogy methodologies in international Chinese language classrooms especially in smart classrooms. With the use of various qualitative approaches including the utilization of media, interpreting advertisements movies, newspapers, and the utilizing of techniques such as sand blots that may be engaging in the classroom with an objective of developing pupils’ second language absorbing ability. Furthermore this research paper highlights the various teaching methodologies that should be adapted and expanded upon in the classroom fittingly by understanding the absorbing capacity of pupils and their learning interest in the theatre of pedagogy.

Effect of smart classroom on learners’ performance in organic chemistry: A case study of senior five students in Kicukiro district- Rwanda

The present study was conducted to explore the effect of smart classroom on learners’ performance in chemistry. This study was carried out on 71 senior five students selected randomly. After collecting data, t-test and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Based on the research findings, it has been discovered that smart classroom motivated learners in teaching and learning organic chemistry. The results showed a significance difference between leaners taught through smart classroom and those not taught through smart classroom. These results also demonstrated that there is a positive effect of smart classroom on learners’ performance in chemistry. This indicated that an effort should be put in increasing adequate smart classrooms across the country to improve the teaching and learning process. Furthermore, other researchers should emphasize on the effect of smart classroom on other units in chemistry. In addition, educational stakeholders should emphasis on the use of smart classroom in instructional activities in education.

Design and Implementation of Smart Classroom Based on Internet of Things and Cloud Computing

With the development of emerging technology innovations such as the internet of things, classroom management has also shown an informatization trend. Among them, smart classrooms are an important part of the current university information environment construction. The purpose of this article is to build a smart classroom into an intelligent teaching environment with many functions such as intelligent perception and identification, real-time monitoring based on the internet of things technology and cloud computing technology. A questionnaire survey was conducted among freshman students in some majors, and interviews were conducted with the instructors. It was found that 92.19% of the students were satisfied with the classroom learning in the smart classroom environment, and most teachers thought that the teaching effect had been improved. Experiments have proven that the operation of smart classrooms based on the internet of things and cloud computing realizes the intelligence of teaching management services and improves the level of education informationization in schools.
