Reimagining the Magic of the Workshop Model

Entering a classroom that embraces the workshop model is like walking into a galaxy of magic. You could feel a sense of wonder as teachers and learners examine new skills and strategies and feel a thrill as students are empowered to move towards independence. It's a framework that builds human connection and cultivates relationships; it honors authentic literature and relevant learning experiences. During the pandemic, the essence of the workshop environment was compromised. There were barriers that prevented teachers and students from communicating in the same ways. This chapter delves into how to shift the gradual release of the workshop model to blended/hybrid/hyflex learning environments; it will explore how to invite change, rally learners, examine non-negotiables in physical and virtual spaces, and honor the framework. It will look at utilizing digital platforms efficiently, setting expectations, and creating spaces where all learners are valued. When learners are the heart of decision making, the magic of the workshop model has the potential to live on in any environment!

Organization of supply air supply in workshops for the production of reinforced concrete products

The production of reinforced concrete products is accompanied by the release of dust into the volume of the workshop, which has a negative effect on the air condition of the working area and on the health of workers in these industries. In the article, using the example of a workshop for the production of reinforced concrete slabs, the trajectory of the particles of emitted dust is shown according to the workshop model constructed and calculated by the SPH method. Methods of supplying supply air to the working area are considered. Under the same initial conditions, the numerical values of the speed of the supply air were calculated for each method of air supply and the most suitable scheme for this workshop is selected.

The experience of teaching introductory programming skills to bioscientists in Brazil

Computational biology has gained traction as an independent scientific discipline over the last years in South America. However, there is still a growing need for bioscientists, from different backgrounds, with different levels, to acquire programming skills, which could reduce the time from data to insights and bridge communication between life scientists and computer scientists. Python is a programming language extensively used in bioinformatics and data science, which is particularly suitable for beginners. Here, we describe the conception, organization, and implementation of the Brazilian Python Workshop for Biological Data. This workshop has been organized by graduate and undergraduate students and supported, mostly in administrative matters, by experienced faculty members since 2017. The workshop was conceived for teaching bioscientists, mainly students in Brazil, on how to program in a biological context. The goal of this article was to share our experience with the 2020 edition of the workshop in its virtual format due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to compare and contrast this year’s experience with the previous in-person editions. We described a hands-on and live coding workshop model for teaching introductory Python programming. We also highlighted the adaptations made from in-person to online format in 2020, the participants’ assessment of learning progression, and general workshop management. Lastly, we provided a summary and reflections from our personal experiences from the workshops of the last 4 years. Our takeaways included the benefits of the learning from learners’ feedback (LLF) that allowed us to improve the workshop in real time, in the short, and likely in the long term. We concluded that the Brazilian Python Workshop for Biological Data is a highly effective workshop model for teaching a programming language that allows bioscientists to go beyond an initial exploration of programming skills for data analysis in the medium to long term.

Workshop model pembelajaran demokrasi guru sekolah dasar di Jawa Tengah

The aim of this community service is to provide a democracy learning model workshop for elementary school teachers in Central Java. This activity is to socialize and practice the skills of the democratic learning model at the elementary level. In this activity, 26 elementary school teachers participated by online (Zoom Application). This community service is carried out in the form of a workshop with the first stage in the form of lecturing, questions and answers, and discussions. While the next stage is in the form of practice. Based on the implementation of this community service, it can be concluded that: first, this workshop is able to improve the knowledge and skills of elementary school teachers in Central Java of democracy learning model. This workshop also produced a video product of the steps of the democracy learning model. This workshop was considered success because all participants participated fully.

Integrating Augmented Reality Into the Workshop Model Remote Learning Classroom

The global pandemic has forced schools across the globe to go to online learning environments. This chapter describes the potential of integrating augmented reality technologies into a virtual immersive workshop model of instruction. Effective utilization and integration of these immersive tools in the workshop model has the potential to develop learners' 21st century skills to be decision makers, problem solvers, lifelong learners, creators, innovators, and to think critically in solving problems.

Problem-Based Workshop For Improving Product Diversification Of The Kolang-Kaling Process

Tanah Datar Regency is known as one of the abundant fruit-producing areas of Kolang-Kaling. According to an interview by the PKM team with one of the heads of the women farmer groups, it was revealed that every week as many as 3 tons of Kolang-kaling fruit can be harvested. However, they only process 10% traditionally (boiled, peeled, and sold). The community does not have sufficient competence to apply technology in processing these plantation products into ready-to-eat food. As a result of the agreement with the two Cempaka Mekar and Teratai Women's Farmer Groups, also with the approval of the village head , a community partnership activity was agreed upon for these two farmer groups. With the aim of increasing the competence of women who are the target of activities in the application of technology for processing kolang-kaling fruit . Increasing competence is expected to have an impact on the welfare of the target community. In order to achieve the objectives, a problem-based workshop model was chosen, where the workshop activities were conducted based on partner problems, with an andragogical approach
