Education Gamification and Student Motivation: A Case Study of Chinese Language Education

<div align="center"><div align="center">A new generation of pupils has grown up with a strong familiarity with technology in the context of Industry 4.0. This technological revolution has made learning a foreign language more critical. However, learning a foreign language can only be accessible with that crucial component- motivation. The purpose of this study was to find out how students' motivation to learn Mandarin was affected by gamification. A gamification application was designed with the Game Development Document (GDD) as a foundational guide, utilizing the Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics (MDA) architecture. Two schools participated in the experimental research project, with 56 and 58 students divided into control and experimental groups. A questionnaire gathered data, and SPSS was used to compute Cronbach's Alpha. The results showed that gamification increased students' enthusiasm to study Mandarin well. When employing gamification as a teaching strategy, students with different levels of Mandarin proficiency saw varied results. Therefore, gamification can tailor Mandarin language instruction to each student's needs and skill level.</div></div>

Development and Implementation of Project-based Learning Framework for Enhancing Computational Thinking Skills in Students: A Case Study in Computer Science Education Within Chinese Universities

Implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning Model in the Al-Liqo Al-Usbuiyyah Program: Case Study in Higher Education in Indonesia

University students generally study Arabic with the aim of understanding Islamic study sources such as the Al-Qur'an and hadith, specifically as a means of verbal and written communication. However, from the results of initial observations, researchers found that the interest and motivation of students at one of the State Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIN) in Indonesia in mastering Arabic still needed to be higher. In an effort to overcome this problem, the PTKIN management created a program called al-liqo al-usbuiyyah using the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) learning model. Therefore, this research aims to explore the efforts made by PTKIN management to foster student interest and motivation in mastering Arabic. A qualitative descriptive research method with a case study approach was used in this research. The results of this research show that the al-liqo al-usbuiyyah program using the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) learning model runs well and is proven to be able to increase student interest and motivation in mastering Arabic. This research also describes several obstacles experienced in implementing this program, such as limited time, busy and varied lecture schedules, students' psychological conditions, and heterogeneous initial understanding of members.

Enacting everyday democratic pedagogies in a birth-five early years setting

The Australian Early Years’ Learning Framework aspires to put democratic participation at the centre of policy and practice by positioning children and families as able, and children as contributing citizens from birth. Examination of current pedagogical efforts to achieve this aspiration are needed to expand knowledge of the supports and challenges experienced in positioning early childhood education settings as democratic learning spaces. This paper contributes to this endeavour by exploring the participatory pedagogies exercised by adults and children to re-imagine mealtimes in an Australian birth-five setting. The research employed relevant aspects of Dewey’s experiential education theory, case study and multiple perspectives to provide a holistic view of participants’ various lived experiences. The paper critically examines elements within early childhood educators’ professional identities and discourses that enabled and constrained one setting’s reimagining and transformation of their micro-everyday practice of mealtime. Findings demonstrated how bringing multiple perspectives into dialogue was significant to participants’ journey in prioritising democracy in mealtime experiences. This research also highlights the importance of recognising the pedagogical role of the physical environment, and the leveraging of positional leadership.

Pete and the Missing Scissors: a primary literature-focused case study that highlights the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on splicing.

This case study was designed to help students explore the molecular mechanisms of the spliceosome and how SARS-CoV-2 impacts host cell spliceosomal function while interpreting figures from primary literature (A. K. Banjeree, et al., Cell 183:1325-1339, e1-e10, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2020.10.004). "Pete and the Missing Scissors" was designed and implemented in the spring of 2022 and fall of 2022 in two large-enrollment (150+) introductory molecular biology courses at a large, public research institution. The case study was formatted in alignment with the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (NCCSTS) framework, which has been shown to be an effective, student-centered approach to teaching complex biological concepts at the undergraduate level. The case study had four student learning objectives (SLOs) that aligned with Bloom's Revised Taxonomy and required students to develop an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of splicing and analyze and interpret a figure from primary literature. Both formative and summative assessment questions are included in this activity, with each question mapping to one of the case study SLOs. Summative assessment questions were given in a pre-/post-manner, and a paired t-test was used to evaluate differences between students' pre- and post-assessment scores. Assessment results demonstrated that students in both courses mastered each of the SLOs of this case study, given the significant increase in post-assessment scores compared to the pre-assessment. These findings indicate that the "Pete and the Missing Scissors" case study is an effective approach to develop students' understanding of the spliceosome, as well as ability to interpret figures from primary literature.

A Quick Guide to Writing a Teaching Case Study.

Case studies published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology are brief chronologic or logical descriptions of a clinical experience that aim to share a technical outcome associated with an instrumentation or patient care scenario or demonstrate a unique finding associated with a nuclear medicine procedure. Although brief by necessity, case studies provide enough relevant detail to educate the reader about a clinical condition coupled with a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. Case studies do not have to be about bizarre clinical conditions. Case studies can be about quality issues that directly impact the imaging or therapeutic procedure, protocol modifications when a clinical scenario requires out-of-the-box decisions, new techniques developed to address unique or difficult situations, or something as simple as an artifact that resulted in an unusual image finding. The sections of a case study, including the introduction, case report, discussion, and conclusion, are explained. The goal of this article is to teach new authors how to write a teaching case study.

Digital storytelling in a digital environment: a case study for social work education

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to explore students’ learning experiences from an online workshop focusing on digital storytelling: an active learning method in which students create a digital story. At Oslo Metropolitan University, the learning method is implemented for training in reflection after a period of placement. However, the methodology is resource-intensive, and there is little research on resources combined with the pedagogic potentials. An online workshop with large classes requires fewer resources than a face-to-face workshop. We have studied the students’ experiences and what we can learn from this case to adapt the methodology to online teaching, with minimal compromise on quality. The data are derived from 122 evaluation forms and focus group interviews with 15 students who had taken an online workshop, as well as 94 evaluation forms from the subsequent year, when the workshop was carried out face-to-face. This article is based on a descriptive case study and thematic analysis. Our findings indicate that, although the conditions for learning are different, there is no indication of lower learning outcomes in relation to reflection. The article illustrates how digitalization and the downscaling of resources bring about new opportunities for learning, but also new potential risks.

Justice in Educational Content: A Guide to Racial and Cultural Representation in Academic and Clinical Teaching and Assessment.

Case-based instruction is broadly used in health professions education, including physical therapy education. Case-based instruction can support achievement of higher-order, applied, learning objectives and clinical reasoning. Instructors strive to represent the diversity of the clinical population in case studies and may have explicit intercultural competency objectives. The inclusion of cultural, racial, and ethnic characteristics in cases or assessments can potentially reinforce stereotypes or inaccurately emphasize these characteristics as direct predictors of health profile. Furthermore, as most physical therapy faculty creating cases are from a White majority stance, there is a risk that inclusion of cultural elements risks inappropriate and biased representation. Well-intentioned instructors risk substituting cultural, racial, and ethnic characteristics for social and structural determinants of health. Race is a social, not biologic construction and should not be confused. Informed instructors guided by evidence-based strategies can achieve rich case depictions that do not convey inaccurate risk or alienate learners. A curriculum design strategy is offered for case development that brings explicit attention to representation of race and culture. This tool serves as a self-reflective and improvement tool. Continued community and student engagement is necessary to achieve high-quality and instructive case studies.

The Attributes of Biophilic Design (Educational Buildings Case Study)

Three decades of empirical research have proven that well-being in humans is stimulated by designs that link people to natural elements and landscapes. Environmental psychology research also revealed that these characteristics can lower stress and anxiety while having a positive impact on human productivity. therefore, there were more recent interest from theorists and architects to discover approaches to re-connect the constructed environment with the natural components. One of the most current theories of re-communication and its use in architecture is called "biophilia.". Therefore, the research problem is the lack of knowledge of biophilic architecture and what are the most prominent features affecting the user. the research aims to shed light on the basics of this design theory as well as testing its design patters in the educational environment to find out which attributes are most effective for users in improving productivity and well-being By adopting the quantitative descriptive approach and based on a questionnaire for the purpose of adopting it in design and to aid in the practical application of the Biophilia idea by designers and architects. The research concluded that there are design features that are more important than others for educational buildings, such as (day light, water, air, plants, landscapes, mobility, integrating the parts to create the whole).

Psychological distance in language learning: a case study in higher education

The purpose of this study is to describe the psychological distance between students and teachers in higher education. This is a qualitative case study. This study includes students from Madura University's English Department. The purposive sampling approach is used to choose a sample. To collect data, major sources of information include observation and interviews, with documents acting as secondary sources. The study's findings show that the psychological distance between Students and lecturers improve students' learning processes and provide input for learning. These tactics are used by teachers to maintain a psychological distance from their students. According to 13 (36.1%) of the students, encouraging youngsters to voice their thoughts, statements, and points of view is one approach for keeping their distance. Motivating students increases the psychological barrier between teachers and students. 14 (41.7%) of students agree, whereas 8 (22.2%) believe professors also say hallo or greet students. It suggests that instructors and members of academic society give students with an appropriate linguistic environment in order to provide optimum classroom settings for students to obtain relevant information as well as social interaction in order to improve students' comprehension of their society. Members of academic societies are urged to be responsive in order to provide useful feedback to students and to interact in a natural way on a regular basis.

The infrastructural conditions of (de-)growth: The case of the internet

Infrastructure studies represent a domain that remains significantly uncharted among degrowth scholars. This is paradoxical considering that infrastructures constitute a fundamental prerequisite for the equitable distribution of many aspects of human well-being that degrowth proponents emphasize. Nonetheless, the substantial resource and energy consumption associated with infrastructures cannot be overlooked. The internet offers an instructive case study in this sense, at its best it forges human connections and is productive of considerable societal value. The resource implications of the often-overlooked internet physical layer of data-centres and submarine cables needs to be acknowledged. Furthermore, the ways in which assumptions of perpetual growth are built into this global infrastructure via the logic layer of internet protocols and other governing mechanisms such as finance and network design need to be examined if we are to determine the extent to which such infrastructures are inherently growth dependent. In making these two arguments, we draw upon the work of both Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Large Technological System (LTS) studies on the inherent problems of large infrastructures which have thus far seen little engagement with questions of degrowth. We review the case of the internet and suggest a number of scenarios that illustrate potential roles for such infrastructures in any planned reduction of economic activity.
