SHARING SESSION SUASANA AKADEMIK DI LUAR NEGERI BAGI MAHASISWA TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI BERINOVASI

The Information Technology Study Program, Faculty of Computer Science, Amikom University, Purwokerto, has grown in terms of the number of students, but requires accreditation by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Active involvement of students in various activities is a key factor in achieving good accreditation results. However, some students were not involved in extracurricular activities, which limits their knowledge, skills, social networks, and interpersonal skills. Lack of motivation, interest, and opportunities to innovate were identified problems. A program was proposed to address two problems facing Purwokerto University Amikom Information Technology students: lack of motivation to seek additional experience and engage in innovation, and underutilization of PkM activities and study center programs. The proposed solution was in the form of a sharing session about studying abroad, where students will learn about the IT student atmosphere at Amikom Purwokerto and gain motivation to innovate. This program involved a partnership with the Malaysian Technical University Melaka, where Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ahmad Naim Che Pee as resource person and guide. The results of the activities carried out showed that student motivation increased to be more innovative, for lecturers to make students aware that they would involve students in research activities and community service, as well as for study centers to manage programs that inspired students to develop innovation.

Personalized Recommendation Algorithm for University Civics Courses with Multiple User Interests

In response to the problems of unity, lack of relevance, lack of synergy, and inability to form a personalized collaborative education mechanism in the current curriculum setting of university thinking and politics education, a personalized recommendation system for university thinking and politics courses based on the multiple interests of users was developed. The system of interests is divided into two parts: first is initial interest guidance, in which the N meta-model is used to learn the context of known course processes; second is user interest extraction; at the end of creating the recommendation process, facing the diversity of user interests, probabilistic latent semantic analysis trains the interest-service-flow distribution of students to recommend the civics course that matches the current interest for students. A good recommendation algorithm can simulate learners’ enthusiasm and give full play to different learners’ learning personalities. The simulation experiments show that the system is stable in operation, complete in function, and has strong practicality and robustness, which is of positive significance in creating a win-win, diverse, and innovative atmosphere for students’ and teachers’ thinking education in colleges and universities.

The ‘gown’ unconcerned with the town? Residential satisfaction of university students living in off-campus private accommodation

This paper aims to extend the understanding of residential satisfaction determinants of students living in off-campus private accommodation and thus contribute to the studentification debate. Our study is based on an original dataset derived from a survey conducted among students in Lodz, Poland and Turin, Italy. Using the ordered logit model, we tested the impact of neighbourhood and accommodation attributes, as well as personal and household characteristics, on students’ residential satisfaction. Our findings show that owning the property has the most significant effect on students’ residential satisfaction. Moreover, this satisfaction increases when student accommodation is affordable, located in a building of pleasant appearance, and in a neighbourhood well connected by public transportation and with a student atmosphere. In light of these findings, we claim that students’ residential satisfaction is not determined by most neighbourhood attributes; therefore, a wide range of neighbourhoods are potentially ‘studentifiable’.

English lecturers’ beliefs and practices in vocabulary learning

Vocabulary has an important role in language learning at the college level, but in teaching practice, various obstacles are experienced by lecturers in implementing effective vocabulary learning. This study took place in Batam, Indonesia, and aims to investigate the English lecturers’ beliefs and practices in vocabulary learning; the phenomena of how they negotiate their teaching practices and what determines their choice of teaching methods when it comes to vocabulary learning. Five English lecturers from different universities were interviewed. The results of the interview were transcribed and analyzed based on the themes that appeared from data. The results showed that a requirement for practicality in class, curriculum, student atmosphere, and lecturers’ confidence in applying the right methods have effects on vocabulary learning. Lecturers have combined vocabulary learning with reading, writing, listening, and speaking in class. The main reference of a coursebook as the main guidance of the vocabulary learning varied between one class and another. All lecturers stated that they should find their own way to adopt external sources such as songs, vocabulary learning programs, and games to combine with their coursebook to beneficially meet the students’ preference. The new technology of teaching and learning is now part of classroom activities. Henceforth, this study concludes that the lecturers’ beliefs in the vocabulary learning approach are important. In practice, the lecturers need to combine them with various methods as the class situation do not always count on academic interests.

Divided Kingdom, 561: Gamification of the Early Middle ages

Gamification has been a growing trend as a tool for pedagogical use. Incorporating game-design elements into a non-game context not only has the potential to amplify student motivation and interaction, but allows for the exploration of a new way to learn, teach, and understand history. Gregory of Tours’ Historia Francorum provides us with an interesting viewpoint into the world of 6th century Frankish Gaul. Understanding the motivations behind the characters in Gregory’s work and their relationship with the religious and political atmosphere of the 6th century can be difficult for modern readers. My project uses elements of role-playing to better engage students in interacting with the text. Students inhabit the role of a historical character from Historia Francorum and play out a narrative ‘campaign’ of multiple sessions as that character. Through research and primary source reading they will develop an understanding for their character, the world they inhabit, and their role within that society. Students engage with other students, prepare and give speeches, all in their prescribed roles. This, along with continual feedback on their actions given by the instructor, will cultivate a unique and more engaging learning atmosphere for students. My goal for this undergraduate research project is to develop an alternative approach to understanding the dynamics of early medieval Frankish society. By turning Gregory’s work into an inhabitable space, the large body of text becomes approachable and engaging to students. The final phase of the project which is underway, is testing it in a third year undergraduate history course.

Understanding by Design (UbD) in EFL Teaching: Teachers’ Professional Development and Students’ Achievement

Professional development is a phenomenon that has a crucial importance for teachers to advance in their career professionally. Apart from their professional lives, it is also important for the acquisition of required knowledge, skills and instructional practices for addressing students' needs (Benedict, 2014; Cooper, 2014; Ingvarson, Meiers, & Beavis, 2005; Lee, 2014). A variety of sources, methods, and tools can be put into practice to sustain teachers' professional development. Understanding by Design (UbD) is among these tools.UbD can be utilized as a tool both for continuing teachers' professional development (Brown, 2004) and ensuring students' enduring understanding (Wiggins, 2010). The focal point of UbD is to pay attention to all learners and their learning preferences by minimizing learning that happens incidentally or by inborn capacity. While doing this, it is aimed that the instructional priorities are determined and the instruction is conducted by making a good design first. These aims can be used as a tool for both increasing students' academic achievement and sustaining teachers' development throughout all their professional lives (Brown, 2004; Wiggins & McTighe, 1998).UbD refers to the task of designing a unit plan covering a three-staged template during the teachers' designing process. At the first stage of the template, named desired results, concepts such as transfer, understanding, and acquisition are mentioned. Transfer can be described as students' making use of the knowledge in new learning situations independently. Understanding is the part in which enduring and transferable ideas as well as provocative essential questions are introduced.At the acquisition part, knowledge and skills that should be achieved at the end of the unit are identified. The key components of the first stage are big idea and essential question. These two components enhance students' seeing the 'big picture' and making inquiries with a sense of wonder throughout the unit in order to reach enduring understandings. The second stage, which is called the evidence, is the stage in which a performance task and some other assessment evidence are mentioned. In the third stage, named learning plan, all the strategies, methods, techniques, and materials are introduced (Wiggins & McTighe, 1998, 2005, 2011).The fact that implementing UbD in an educational institution enables its instructors to become active members of curriculum development is mentioned in many researches (Andrews, 2011; Baird, 2006; Bertram, 2011; Boehler, 2008; Boozer, 2014; Burson, 2011; Corvo, 2014; Edmunds, 2011; Kelting-Gibson, 2003; Meyer, 2006). Teachers' dealing with designing contributes to the burgeon of professional collaboration and dialogue at school settings (Anwaruddin, 2013). Together with their colleagues, teachers share ideas and make educational decisions in the designing process. Besides, implementing their own design in their lessons encourages the emergence of teachers' designer identity and helps to diminish the routine of textbook coverage (Wiggins & McTighe, 2011).Another important contribution of UbD is that it facilitates students' learning in a meaningful and enduring way (Anderson, 2012; Duke, 2011; Molina, 2013; Noble, 2011; Schoellhorn, 2012; Stotter, 2004; Takacs, 2010). One of the fundamental problems in EFL teaching is that content coverage becomes a goal rather than being a tool (Wiggins & McTighe, 2011). In fact, the focus of instruction is to lay a sound foundation for the development of learning skills with the help of the content that is presented to the students. As UbD unit designs basically include essential questions and assessment techniques as relevant to enduring understanding, they help students to see the big picture about learning. Furthermore, the integration of different methods and techniques addressing individual differences helps to establish an enjoyable learning atmosphere for students and makes important contributions to the active learning process (Wiggins & McTighe, 2007). …

Reciprocal learning between the preceptors and the students allows for a stimulating environment and has the potential to improve patient care. The enjoyment of teaching and mentoring students may aid in providing a dynamic atmosphere for students to learn.

Criteria and indicators for assessing School Buildings as an input for a development decision

Eeducational environments have a great effect in creating the right atmosphere for students and encouraging their mental and physical creativity. In spite of caring given by the state of Yemen to provide free education, it has been faced with rapid growth of cities, making the educational institution and the local administrations of the cities of Yemen suffer from a lot of problematic pressure in finding learning environments responsive to the needs of its users. Educational buildings didn’t have the necessary attention in the design and implementation processes which contributed significantly to the low quality of the building, and therefore a low level of student scientific achievement. In order for such educational administrations to avoid these negatives and deciding development of the school building – either by extensions, renovations, or constructing new ones - there must be an effective means to allow for a proper evaluation process, and to make schools more responsive to the needs of its users. The research methodology is based on analytical approach for the content of previous studies related to the specifications and characteristics of the good school environment, which improve educational outcomes, also analyzing the most important methods for assessing school buildings to conclude criteria and indicators for assessing school buildings due to the conditions of the study area. The study concluded that the decision of developing the school building should be based on the results of the evaluation according to: 1. a collection of standards that cannot be downgraded, such as walking distances traveled by students to and from school, and student's share of the educational space, and other necessary standards for appropriate educational process. 2. criteria that require the opinions of users and architects working in the office of the Ministry of Education in province of Hadramout in Yemen due to the difference between conditions of the population in the study area and Egyptian and global conditions, and also to be possible to develop specific criteria for Yemen later on.
