An Evaluation Study of e-Learning Course at the Duhok Polytechnic University A Case Study

In last decade, there has been a growing awareness in E-Learning which is the most recent type of distance education, and becomes a highly significant model of educational technology. Today e-Learning studies indicate that there is an increasing use of this educational scheme for students, trainers and instructors which improve the learning capability of the students and trainee by depending on student-centered learning (SCL) scheme rather than using the traditional teacher or trainer centered teaching mechanism.However, students’ awareness for the advantage of using e-Learning has not been significantly investigated, especially in Iraq. The aim of this article is to inspect students’ awareness of the using of e-Learning at the Dohuk Polytechnic University. Participants involved in this study were 100 students studying the C++ programming language course during 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 academic years and 210 students studying computer application course during 2018-2019.

Giving feedback in the new CBME curriculum paradigm: Principles, models and situations where feedback can be given

The new competency based medical education represents a paradigm shift from a teacher centered to a student centered learning of outcome competencies paradigm and so both the students and the teachers are unfamiliar with it. Giving and receiving feedback is central to the competency development framework. Only through frequent, timely and appropriate feedback there will be effective development of cognitive competence in its lead up to performance of competence. These concepts are illustrated to convey the importance of giving feedback to students. As the teachers are expected to practice giving feedback to students, they were opportunistically asked prior to a faculty development workshop what their priority learning needs about giving feedback are. Based on this a focused review of literature was done to collect the information on the various models of giving feedback, the principles for giving feedback, the possible situations in curriculum delivery where teachers can and should give feedback to students.The literature revealed some good practice models for giving feedback to the naïve as well as the mature students in ambulatory and clinical teaching settings as well as on their performance as revealed by their test results. Models of counseling which has strong element of feedback on the learner’s performance and helping them choose the way forward after identifying the problem is also shared.

Analysis of USAID/Georgia Supported Basic Education Program First Cycle Implementation

The article highlights Akaki Tsereteli State University's involvement and participation in wide school reforms to establish student-centered education in Georgia. School educational reform cannot proceed and succeed without the direct involvement of the universities which carry out teacher preparation programs. Unequivocally, there should be close cooperation and collaboration between these two institutions to reach the desirable and targeted outcomes. The purpose of the article was to present the results of the survey, which was intended to assess the effectiveness of training conducted by the university trainers during the first phase of the new school reform in Georgia which focused on achieving student-centered learning. The selected trainers from the eight partnering universities were supposed to cover 2075 schools throughout Georgia (373 schools in Imereti Region) to train leader teachers and help the institution to develop new instructional methods, more specifically, to develop a school curriculum based on constructivist educational principles and apply it into practice. The survey findings assisted Pedagogical faculty in identifying existing curriculum gaps and discrepancies and taking measures to bridge them by modifying and supplementing them with the necessary content.

PROGRAM APLIKASI PEMBELAJARAN PEMROGRAMAN JAVA YANG ATRAKTIF BERBASIS ANDROID

Di Fakultas Ilmu Komputer (FILKOM) Universitas Brawijaya, hasil review menunjukkan bahwa 76% dari 100 mahasiswa FILKOM lebih tertarik pada materi pembelajaran selain mata kuliah pemrograman esensial. Keterbatasan sumber materi yang diperoleh dan pemanfaatan teknik Student Centered Learning di FILKOM dinilai kurang mengakomodir mahasiswa untuk memahami materi pembelajaran. Dengan cara ini, kerangka pembelajaran pemrograman java elektronik yang memikat telah dibuat dengan memanfaatkan teknik gamifikasi. Bagaimanapun, penelitian dari Baidu Study mengungkapkan bahwa klien aplikasi serbaguna 97% lebih besar dari program yang hanya 76%. Beberapa penelitian terkait gamification juga mengungkapkan bahwa judul eksplorasi tambahan adalah sejauh portabilitas. Mengingat informasi ini, penting untuk mengembangkan aplikasi pembelajaran pemrograman Java dalam bentuk serbaguna yang berjalan sebagai pelanggan, sehingga kerangka kerja saat ini dapat berfungsi sebagai server. Dalam pengujian ini, aplikasi berbasis pada tahap android lokal. Untuk bertukar informasi dengan server, penting untuk membuat administrasi web yang digunakan sebagai Application Programming Interface (API). Hasil pengembangan aplikasi berbasis android mendapat 19 keunggulan utama, sedangkan hasil pengembangan administrasi web mendapat 8 kelas baru pada framework berbasis situs. Pengujian unit selesai menggunakan strategi kotak putih dan pengujian persetujuan selesai menggunakan teknik penemuan. Efek samping dari pengujian unit dan pengujian persetujuan menghasilkan nilai 100%, yang berarti bahwa semua sorotan berfungsi sesuai dengan persyaratan yang ditentukan.

Survey on Student-Centered Learning Assessment and Feedback Practices - Research Brief

The challenge of assessing student progress and using information gained through assessment to improve teaching and learning is formidable. It can be argued that in student-centered learning (SCL) environments that challenge is even greater than in traditional frontal instruction classrooms. To better understand the assessment and feedback-giving practices of teachers in SCL classrooms, we invited teachers from across the United States to share with us their classroom practices relating to assessment and feedback-giving, the types of feedback they give to students, and their beliefs about the benefits and costs associated with feedback-giving. The goal of this report is to share back our preliminary findings with the participating teachers.

Educational Technology Based on Virtual and Augmented Reality for Students With Learning Disabilities

Educational technology is contributing towards diversity awareness as it allows you to create more personalized and student-centered learning situations. This chapter addresses specific learning difficulties (SpLD) and, specifically, dyslexia, since it is one of the most prevalent challenges in the educational field. Information and communication technologies allow direct intervention with students who have special educational needs as an alternative to traditional resources, which is much more motivating. In this sense, as an example, various projects and applications are presented that allow working on this type of difficulties with students. This chapter highlights the virtual reality and augmented reality software carried out in the context of the European Erasmus + FORDYSVAR project, of which the authors are part.

Flipping the classroom to promote higher order thinking skill: A case of Chinese undergraduate students

Flipped learning approach has recently gained much more attention and has widely been utilized as a new approach to assist student-centered learning activities across different contexts of teaching. The present study aims to examine the effect of flipped learning instruction on undergraduate students’ development of higher order thinking skills (HOTS). Drawing on a quasi-experimental design, this study recruited 70 Chinese science education students enrolled in ‘teaching with technology’ course; they were equally divided into flipped (experiment) and non-flipped (control) groups. Data were obtained from pre-tests and post-tests in both groups using a higher order thinking skill test, and were analyzed by means of sample t-test using IBM-SPSS version 24. The results showed that flipped group students outperformed the non-flipped students in terms of HOTS performance. There was a significant different between the results of flipped group students’ pre-test and post-test scores (p-value: 0.000 0.05). It suggests that the flipped learning instruction has a significant effect on the Chinese undergraduate students’ HOTS development. This study contributes to providing valuable insights for instructors and college curricula designers to incorporate flipped learning approach in teaching at university level.
