Gamification in Higher Education (Case Study on a Management Subject)

In today’s education systems, new solutions are required for educators to raise and maintain the interest of young people (from primary school to higher education). The aim of the study is to present a self-developed gamification solution and its application in higher education in economics. The method, the process, and experiences presented in the study were tested within the framework of a management subject. The gamification model, based on an extensive literature review, was elaborated with the help of a self-developed method. Prior to the development of the process, students’ opinions on their experiences and expectations for current educational methods were surveyed. After the end of the semester, our students were asked on their feedback, and a national survey was conducted in higher education institutions about the experiences with gamification solutions. The positive consequences of the application of our own model, can be traced in the students’ continuous and year-end performance (a higher level of task solutions and better grades) and also in their feedback. Although the subject of the test semester was a management-type subject, the logic of the model can be applied within the framework of any other subject and in any higher education institution as well.

From Industry 4.0 to Education 4.0: acceptance and use of videoconferencing applications in higher education of Oman

PurposeThe present paper is an attempt to study Education 4.0 supported by Industry 4.0 tools and techniques. The main purpose of the study is to examine the acceptance and use of one of the internet of things (IoT)-based learning management systems, i.e. videoconferencing application (Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, GoToMeeting, WebEx), by academicians of higher education using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model.Design/methodology/approachThe study comprises 218 responses of academicians associated with higher education in the Sultanate of Oman. Descriptive and factor analysis of the collected data are employed using SPSS-26. Further, using Amos-21, the fit and validity indices of the measurement model are computed. Various relationships of the UTAUT structural model along with moderation effects of gender and nationality are tested.FindingsThe results suggest that performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence significantly predict behavioral intention. In turn, behavioral intention and facilitating conditions also significantly predict the use behavior of academicians for videoconferencing in higher education. Finally, gender moderates two out of four UTAUT relations, but nationality does not moderate any of these relations.Originality/valueA lot of prior studies investigate several models to use technology-enabled pedagogy from educators' or students' perspectives. There are very limited studies that examine IoT-based learning tools within the UTAUT environment. Additionally, no study is available that considers UTAUT relations for the use of videoconferencing in higher education. Also, in the present study, one more moderator, i.e. nationality, is tested.

The design and evaluation of a multimodal ubiquitous learning application for EFL writers

ABSTRACT This study presents the design of a multimodal ubiquitous learning application (MULA) with different augmenting effects for enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) academic writing instruction. In a pilot project, 17 undergraduates engaged in ubiquitous learning and writing at a green building and provided survey responses and interview feedback about their ubiquitous writing experience. The survey results were categorized into perceptions about (a) the ubiquitous learning mode, (b) effective writing facilitation, (c) motivation, self-efficacy, and attitude, (d) self-regulation, and (e) system usability. Interview results further illustrated how using MULA led to positive and negative experiences during ubiquitous writing. A final synthesis on the findings led to the identification of seven affordances that made MULA a potential tool for enhancing writing instruction in EFL settings. The seven affordances were considered effective design elements for multimodal context-aware ubiquitous learning that served the purpose of enriching English academic writing instruction. Implications about creating multimodal ubiquitous learning applications in higher education are also provided.

Transformational Leadership and Digital Skills in Higher Education Institutes: During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Objectives: Recently, due to special conditions that the global community is experiencing (Covid-19), there is growing interest in research in educational leadership, especially in higher education, which will create an environment embedded in a collaborative culture, open to improvements, testing, and often unexpected challenges. Among the different forms of educational leadership, transformational leadership is recognized as the most appropriate for application in higher education, as it focuses on the division of leadership among academics with different skills in order to manage in a collective way the range of leadership duties required in different contexts. Methods/Analysis: This view is also reflected in this research paper, which focused on the degree of three specific forms of leadership (transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and leadership to be avoided) by members of the Senate of the University of Peloponnese. Descriptive and inductive methods of statistical analyses were applied for the interpretation of results. Findings: Notably, the findings indicate that leadership outcome has a strong positive correlation with transformational leadership and negative correlation with passive-to avoid leadership, confirming that higher transformational leadership implies greater efficiency and satisfaction for employees. Novelty/Improvement:A high degree of passive leadership coexists with the corresponding negative degree of implementation of digital leadership. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01252 Full Text: PDF

Aim. To generalize the experience in teaching the fundamental and optional subjects at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology, find new methodological and pedagogical techniques in order to optimize the assimilation of basic medical concepts and skills among foreign applicants for higher education. Materials and methods. Within the framework of this study the modern data on methods and aids in teaching were studied, approaches to teaching the disciplines of the biomedical profile, such as “Microbiology with the basics of immunology” as a fundamental subject, and disciplines “Epidemiology of diseases” and “Tropical infections” as optionalsubjects for foreign applicants for higher education at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology of the National University of Pharmacy were systematized and analyzed. Results and discussion. The discipline “Microbiology with the basics of immunology” refers to the fundamental disciplines of the biomedical profile, which is studied by foreign applicants for higher education of the pharmaceutical faculty. At the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology of the National University of Pharmacy various modern methodological techniques are used when conducting lectures, practical classes and seminars. In the educational process modern methods of teaching, monitoring and assessing knowledge are widely used in the form of a computer survey that involves foreign students in the process of mastering computer technologies aimed at forming their knowledge;it helps to successfully solve educational problems within the classroom setting. The widespread use of the test control of knowledge is an important means of increasing the effectiveness of the educational process. The inclusion of interactive forms in the educational process relieves the nervous load of students, makes it possible to change the forms of activity, switch attention to the key issues of the topic of the lessons. It is also ethodologically interesting to conduct practical classes in the form of a discussion abstract conference, as well as the use of role-playing games. All this allows an objective assessment of the student’s preparation for the lesson, develops communication skills, creative thinking, an active life position, the ability to formulate thoughts using professional terms, forms public speaking skills, forms stereotypes of professional behavior and their correction in communication. Conclusions. In recent years, the Ukrainian education system has been undergoing modernization of the learning process. Constant changes open up the need for each teacher to search for such pedagogical technologies that will motivate students, will make them interested in studying the discipline. This is especially true for such a category of students as foreign students. Thus, for the successful formation of effective educational activities of foreign students it is necessary to have modern educational and methodological literature, creative organization of the students’ independent work aimed at the wide use of active teaching methods (group discussions, business games), the effective work with information, setting and solving scientific practical problems, the participation of teachers and students in joint research work.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are interested in highly professional subjects of scientific and scientific-technical activities, namely in highly qualified scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers, whose training is carried out through an adjunct course for obtaining the scientific degree of Doctor of philosophy. The problem of ensuring the quality of higher education for applicants for the degree of Doctor of philosophy for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not solved at present and is relevant. The aim of the study is to substantiate the mechanism of Adaptive Quality Management of training applicants for higher education with a doctor of Philosophy degree for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The article analyzes the key experience of recent publications, which showed the interest of a wide scientific circle in the problems of applying adaptive management in the field of education and science. Along with this, researchers have different opinions about the vision of what adaptive management should be. As a result, there is no mechanism of adaptive management in the field of education and science, and even more so in the system of training applicants for higher education with the degree of Doctor of philosophy through adjunct and postgraduate studies. Based on the analysis, it is proposed to choose the basic mechanism of Adaptive Quality Management of training of applicants for higher education of the degree of Doctor of philosophy, which is implemented by a complex methodology for building an individual adaptive learning trajectory and developing the methodological culture of applicants for higher education of the degree of Doctor of philosophy, which includes a set of design methods: 1) a variable component of educational and scientific characteristics of applicants for a Scientific School; 2) a variable component of an optional educational and scientific program of a Scientific School; 3) monitoring and diagnostics of the methodological culture of applicants in the context of the general certification procedure. The listed methods of complex methodology are implemented in a scientific school, provided that the supervisor applies an improved model of scientific and methodological support for applicants for higher education with the degree of Doctor of philosophy. Thus, a scientific novelty is obtained, which consists in the fact that for the first time a mechanism for managing the quality of training applicants for higher education for the degree of Doctor of philosophy is proposed on the basis of adaptive management according to the PDCA scheme. The practical significance of the obtained scientific result made it possible to find out the mechanism of Adaptive Quality Management of methodological training of adjuncts and postgraduates. The presented study does not exhaust all aspects of this problem. The theoretical and practical results obtained in the course of scientific research form the basis for its further study in various aspects.
