The conclusion of this study is the need to develop learning and learning modules containing research results for biology students to help the lecture process in the classroom.

The Effects and Implications of a Peer-Led Small Group Advising Scheme: A Case Study

The present case study aims to investigate the effects and implications of a semi-structured, small group advising scheme led by a peer advisor (PA) who graduated from a previously offered scheme. The scheme involves a seven-unit Personalized Learning Module (PLM) that simultaneously combines four key points: (1) reflecting, (2) mindset training, (3) personal motivation and success, and (4) teaching students how to limit overwhelming sources of information as part of creating an actionable, personalized learning plan. Each unit of the PLM consists of an integrated, scaffolded set of original advising tools. Four learners were trained in a group by a PA. Data were collected through PA open-ended feedback forms at the end of each unit, metaphor drawings and the advisee feedback form containing the learners’ reflections on the efficiency of the module. Additionally, the PA’s feedback form containing the PA’s observations and reflections were used for data collection and data were analyzed through content analysis. The outcome of the study reveals promising results for future PA programs.

PERCEPTION OF NATURAL SCIENCES’ TEACHER AND PROSPECTIVE TEACHER ON UNDERSTANDING LOW CARBON STEM LEARNING PLAN

The perception of science teachers and pre-service science teachers about the 'Low Carbon STEM' lesson plans, which is a new learning approach, makes the perspective of science teachers and pre service science teachers different. This difference results in differences in the implementation of the Low Carbon STEM lesson plan in the future. The objectives of this study include 1) to determine the perception of science teachers and pre service science teachers to Low Carbon STEM Lesson Plans, 2) to recommend one form of science learning approach that is Low Carbon-based STEM. The method used in this research is the mixed method, which combines quantitative and qualitative methods with data collection techniques using questionnaires. Questionnaires were distributed to science teachers and prospective science teachers using a rating scale of 1-4. The results of the questionnaire were calculated quantitatively and then described qualitatively. Respondents were members of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) consisting total of 37 respondents. This study concludes that the tenth aspect received the most agreed responses with a percentage of 86.5% while the sixth aspect received the most disagree responses with a percentage of 89,2%.

Education in Indonesia since middle-March 2020 has undergone significant changes. Online learning to answer questions is a solution to the virus problem that has spread to cut cases of the Covid-19 virus using online media. Edmodo is a learning application that the application can use in bold type learning, including atomic structure material. This study analyzes the Edmodo-based understanding used for learning media on atomic structure material and how students respond to the Edmodo application in chemistry learning, especially atomic structure material. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the effectiveness of learning was 69%, application sustainability during the pandemic was 76%, ease of access was 97%, ease of communication was 61%, the clear assessment was 84%, and understanding of the material Edmodo was 59%. Implementing chemistry learning consists of (1) choosing Edmodo as a bold learning medium in chemistry learning based on analyzing student needs with reasoning and mastery of applications; (2) planning the application as a student learning medium as described in the Semester Learning Plan; (3) implementation in Edmodo-based online learning is carried out well and smoothly based on semester learning plan; and (4) edmodo as an application can help carry out chemistry learning in atomic structure subjects to measure student learning outcomes. So it can be concluded that Edmodo is a practical application to use during the Pandemic of Covid-19.

Information System Engineering for Web-based RPS Adaptation using the Laravel Framework

Semester Learning Plan (RPS) is a learning planning document that guides lecturers and students to carry out lecture activities for one semester to achieve predetermined learning achievements. that the study program has been determined. RPS is needed to meet and adapt to users' needs because the RPS is regularly reviewed and updated if there are changes in teaching materials that are no longer under current conditions. However, what is often a problem is that the RPS input is still using Microsoft Excel, so that it is not well documented, and the RPS made are not following the material given by the lecturer. Because of these problems, in this study, a web-based RPS adjustment information system will be designed and built using the Laravel framework that can assist the study program in documenting the RPS and knowing the suitability of the material provided by the lecturer's predetermined RPS. The system development method used in this study uses the SDLC method, and its design uses UML (Unified Modeling Language). The final result of this research is a web-based RPS compatibility information system using the Laravel framework, which can facilitate the management of RPS and its compatibility with the material provided by the lecturer.

Understanding the Roles of Personalization and Social Learning in a Language MOOC Through Learning Analytics

In the last decade, there has been a great deal of interest in language MOOCs (LMOOCs) and their potential to offer learning opportunities for large audiences, including those in disadvantaged communities. However, experiences and research have shown MOOCs to suffer from several challenges. Chief among these have been low participation and completion rates, which are often attributed to limitations in how opportunities for personalisation and social interaction are implemented. For the current study, a dedicated LMOOC was designed and implemented, called the “Social and Personal Online Language Course (SPOLC).” This language learning environment incorporates a recommendation system and emphasizes personalisation and social interaction. The study identified the types of learning behaviour that were related to course completion and observed how 270 learners in the LMOOC used the various course features. The data were collected using learning analytical methods and analysed using binary logistic regression and feature extraction prediction model. The results demonstrated that working in groups and creating a learning plan were important factors associated with course completion, while interacting with other learners online was not. We conclude with several suggestions and implications for future LMOOC design, implementation, and research.

Evaluation of an Advanced Topics Workshop in Geropsychology: The Value of Depth in Training

The Geriatric Scholars Program- Psychology Track (GSP-P) was implemented to address the dire shortage of mental health providers with geriatrics expertise within the VA, a large integrated healthcare system. One hundred and five psychologists participated in the GSP-P introductory geropsychology competencies course. Though they exhibited significant improvements in confidence, knowledge, and skills across geropsychology domains, increased depth (in addition to breadth) of training is needed. In 2019, GSP-P implemented an advanced workshop for graduates of the introductory course. Twenty-one psychologists participated in the workshop, which included 3.5 days of expert-led seminars followed by completion of an individualized learning plan over six months. Results from our evaluation indicated significant improvements in four of five geropsychology domains on the Pikes Peak Geropsychology Knowledge and Skill Assessment Tool. Our findings demonstrate continued enhancement of geropsychology competencies through advanced coursework is feasible and improves depth of training, particularly when combined with individualized learning plans.
