Guided Mobile Learning for English Language Teaching: The Teachers’ Perspective

Aims: This study evaluates teachers' perspectives on the integration of guided mobile learning through the Mobile Intervention Module (MIM) in English language teaching. As previous studies suggested that there are conflicting views among scholars with regards to mobile usage in classroom learning, this paper attempts to address scholars' concerns by suggesting English language teachers' opinions on the possibility of having practical guided mobile learning activities to complement the course contents. Study Design: This study adopts a qualitative approach. Place and Duration of Study: Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Malaysia, between February 2019 to July 2019. Methodology: Interview sessions are conducted among four language instructors to see how they perceive the effectiveness of guided mobile learning intervention towards teaching and learning. Content Analysis is later adopted to analyse the interview data where specific themes are derived. The concept of MIM that incorporates appropriate web learning tools is developed and explained. MIM functions as a comprehensive guide that matches the course contents to the most appropriate web learning tools. Results: The results show that all instructors perceive guided mobile learning through the MIM positively. This study implicates that guided mobile learning could be useful in facilitating the teaching approach shift from conventional to technology-assisted, enabling the integration of interactive activities in learning, developing specific language skills and enhancing engagement. It should also be noted that there may be some adaptation barriers of mobile learning that can hinder learning process. Conclusion: While it is recommended that mobile learning is integrated with lessons, to achieve effective results, however, as suggested in the findings of this study, it has to be guided, thus a proper module that links the syllabus to the mobile apps needs to be created.

Advantages and Directions of Electronic Interaction in Web-Learning

E-learning (web-learning) is a relatively new and actively developing form of education and a field of scientific research. The purpose of the research presented in the article is to describe the advantages of electronic interaction between a teacher and a student. The hypothesis of the research was that web-learning in different directions creates many options for effective interaction between students and teachers. We revealed potentially equal opportunities for web-learning; freedom of access (freedom to choose); flexibility (mobility) of training; ability to develop in tune with the times (cultural conformity); reduction in training fees; the ability to determine the criteria for assessing knowledge (objectivity); individualization of the choice of teaching aids (freedom). We demonstrated direction of electronic interaction: a) active interaction of a student and teachers with content: interaction of students with content; teacher interaction with contents; interaction of content with content; b) personal and social interaction with a teacher, parents and peers: interaction of a student with a teacher; student-student interaction; interaction between a teacher and a teacher; c) interaction with the educational organization in the process of navigation between the interfaces of their interaction: the interaction of a student with an interface; teacher interaction with an interface; interaction with programs, applications and sites; interaction of a student with himself/herself. We propose following indicators for determining the level of interaction efficiency in web-based training programs: availability, feedback, validity of the task. The use of various orientations of web-learning by a teacher in practice will allow to ensure individualization of the choice of teaching tools, objectivity, accessibility, feedback from a student, as well as freedom of access to information, flexibility (mobility) of training, the ability to develop in tune with the times.

Aplikasi MOOC Untuk Pembelajaran Dalam Kualitas MAVIB

The publication of learning using MOOC in Raharja University is a facility for students and lecturers in learning, learning using MOOC is one of the objectives in the University of Raharja, which will help lecturers in explaining the material so that students are easy to access where I am in the study, the problem is the absence of web learning online using MOOC application, and the absence of information summary to take a decision and the difficulty of the students get information about course or view the material. To solve the problem is conducted research that builds an improvement system of student learning on the quality and quality of university Raharja using SWOT analysis and SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) method that is felt can help in the management of data. Then transformed in Web Form at Raharja University, it is expected to overcome existing constraints, by providing information that supports the decision-making system in the online learning publications. The system was created with collaborations from Rinfo, Rinfo Sheet, RinfoForm and iLearning Media that are part of the 10 pillars of Raharja University IT. That is further implemented for the needs of student publications at Raharja University through the Web I-Mavib.

Empirical verifications of web-learning environment to enhance learning effectiveness and motivation in mechanical drawing

In mechanical drawing class, it is a problem that a lecturer has students get a wide range of knowledge and skills in a class whose time and place are limited in a semester. The situation surrounding the classes has led to insufficient understanding of students. Accordingly, it has been desired to reveal an effective learning method in mechanical drawing class. In this study, a web-learning environment was created on the basis of motivation-oriented teaching method using ARCS model and Gagne’s 9 events of instruction. Then, the web-learning environment was introduced into mechanical drawing class, and the effectiveness was investigated with the comparison of results from paper-based and web-based tests. After that, learning motivation was also assessed using ARCS evaluation sheet. From the results, there existed the advantage of using web-learning environment. In addition, it was remarkable that attention-related factors greatly contributed the enhancement of learning motivation.

Pengembangan Pembelajaran berbasis Web dengan Menggunakan Teori Belajar Generatif

<pre><strong>Abstract: </strong>This study aims to develop web-based learning using generative learning theory. The stages of this research and developing are conducting analysis, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating. The results of the development consist of web learning that involves learning activities selecting, organizing, and integrating. Then as a reinforcer of generative activity assignments with learning principles by summarizing and learning by explaining. The results of the attractiveness test obtained an average score of 89.09% which means students are interested in web-based learning using generative learning theory. </pre><strong>Abstrak:</strong><em> </em>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan pembelajaran berbasis web dengan menggunakan teori belajar generatif. Tahapan dalam penelitian dan pengembangan ini, yaitu melakukan analisis, perancangan, pengembangan, penerapan, dan evaluasi.
