DEVELOPING MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES THROUGH ICT-BASED E-LEARNING PROGRAM

This study aims to determine the development of nine types of intelligence (Multiple Intelligences) through an e-learning program implemented through a computer network and/or personal computer (PC) with CD ROM. This type of research includes quantitative descriptive research, which describes the function of e-learning programs as a means of growth and development of all types of intelligence. The research method is carried out by comparing the pedagogical way of developing multiple intelligences with the facilities owned by the e-learning program. The degree of conformity used a percentage (%), then processed using a Likert Scale. Based on theory and virtual experiments, as well as the opinions of 2 experts and 35 education practitioners as junior/high school teachers, it was found that the e-learning program functions to facilitate the development of intelligence in the "distributed" category with a score of 4 (scale 1-5). The results of this study will help teachers and lecturers reflect on face-to-face learning so that during the Covid-19 period learning can be transferred to a system that uses an e-learning program that can accommodate the growth and development of multiple intelligences supported by technological advances. Moreover, this system does not require a network and signal but can be accessed in the form of a CD-ROOM/Flash Disk. In the future, learning like this can be a priority to be implemented.

Investigation the role of online experience in learning (E-Learning) environment a review for researchers

E-Learning implementation is an area in progress that continues to evolve with time and further research. Researchers in this field argue that e-Learning is still in its infancy, resulting into numerous implementation technologies across a wide e-Learning spectrum.

The Case for Smiling? Nonverbal Behavior and Oral Corrective Feedback.

Oral Corrective Feedback is a widely used teaching strategy that has been found to help language acquisition. The factors that contribute to its effectiveness, however, remain elusive. In this study, the role of smiling during teachers' OCF provision is investigated in intact language classrooms by modifying the analytical framework developed by Lyster and Ranta (Stud Second Lang Acquis, 19(1):37-66, 1997), which determines OCF effectiveness by the success of the learner uptake. In addition to the feedback strategies used, this study examines teacher smiling during the feedback instances, and whether they were genuine or polite smiles. The Facial Action Coding System (Ekman & Friesen, Environ Psych Nonver, 1(1), 56-75, 1976; Ekman, Friesen, & Hager, Facial Action Coding System: The Manual on CD ROM. Salt Lake City, UT: Research Nexus division of Network Information Research Corporation, 2002) is utilized to operationalize smile genuineness. Significant findings indicate that when teacher smiling is genuine, learners are more likely to correct their errors, while polite smiles do not have the same effect.

Information Networking and its Application in the Digital Era with Illustration from the University of Port Harcourt Library

This paper discussed the factors that necessitated information networking, types of networks, benefits of information networking, library information networking and the University of Port Harcourt library network initiatives. Information networking is a process of communication, exchange of ideas, resource sharing and collaboration between individuals, organizations, institutions and libraries and it is facilitated by ICTs and the internet for improved accessibility. It has been brought about by information explosion, rapid advancement in information communication technologies, inadequate funding and increased demand for quality information. Networks can be classified into local, national, regional, and international networks and are formed to serve different categories of user communities. Benefits of information networking include resource sharing, on-line conferences and participation in programmes at distant centers, collaboration among scholars in different countries, and communication flow through the internet, social media, and electronic mail. Library information networking started with the interlibrary loan which has metamorphosed into library consortia in which groups of libraries partner to coordinate activities, share resources and combine expertise. The University of Port Harcourt Library network initiatives started with an e-granary (a CD ROM) and the establishment of a local area network. It had transited from Card Catalogue to Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) and now has a website devoted to library services. The library has subscribed to more than 15 electronic databases and has updated to include automated circulation and cataloguing services. Information networking has greatly improved the sharing of resources in information acquisition and dissemination since no single institution can acquire the overwhelming number of information resources in their various formats in the reality of the current information explosion.

Kindergartener’s meaning making with multimodal app books: The relations amongst reader characteristics, app book characteristics, and comprehension outcomes

App books are increasingly being used in classrooms and at home. However, little is known how children effectively make meaning with these. Given that app books substantially differ from print or CD ROM books, research specifically on the meaning making process with app books is needed. Grounded in transactional reading and new literacies theories, this observational study examined the relations amongst reader characteristics, app book characteristics, and comprehension outcomes. Fifty-three children in four kindergarten classrooms across two states were individually observed reading a different app book on an iPad six times across the school year and asked questions to elicit their comprehension. Sessions were video-recorded and coded by two coders with high inter-rater reliability. A multivariate outcome, multilevel cross-classification, mixed response analysis showed that specific reader characteristics and transactions between reader and text were linked to better comprehension outcomes. These findings can guide app book reading instruction in early childhood classrooms.

Robot from Mechatronics Scrap -Beggar Robot

The reuse of materials is mainly limited in the separation of valuable materials from mechanical and electronics scrap, but there is another opportunity in using the mechatronics scrap, to build robots, the robots build from scrap are limited to its function and ability but they are cost effective and building them can be very educational for students in mechatronics field. One of the robot family built for University needs is Beggar Robot. Begging is a practice of asking a favor with no return back, favors can be monetary but also gifts, food etc. The idea behind beggar robot comes from a Slovenian artist Sašo Sedlaček, who build some of these robots in different countries but the technical solution and the building of this particular robot was done by us. The robot was built from old computer materials such as the computer cases to build the body, CD rom to build the hands, and old monitor to replace the face, and cheap electronics and open source control boards. Based on fact that building robots with almost zero cost we can conclude will provide a very good learning experience and also serve as a gateway to get into building robotics from e-scrap.

Evaluating CD ROMs for Pre-Primary English Courses in the Czech Republic and Slovakia

AbstractLiving in the digital age means that modern information and communications technologies (ICT) have penetrated into every aspect of human lives, including education. Despite the fact that ICT are widely used in educational setting, many educators (and parents) have nevertheless remained concerned about how to adapt them into children’s education meaningfully and effectively. The use of ICT in education in general, and in preschool institutions in particular, has become an important research issue. The study focuses on evaluating multimedia CD-ROMs published in two countries with the intention to be used in pre-school institutions for the introduction of English as a foreign language to the youngest learners (children 3 – 6 years). The results point to the fact that majority of the CD ROMs offered activities which were marked as “robotic”, “glib”, “static”, and “empty” (built upon simple and usually mechanically repeated instructions), never reached beyond mechanical memorisation of English vocabulary in any entertaining way. The author calls for designing cognitively challenging materials which could support development of higher cognitive or affective functions of very young learners.

ASSESSING POTENTIALS OF INTEGRATING EDUCATIONAL CD-ROM IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN TANZANIA: CONSTRUCTIVISM APPROACH VIEWS

Unlike other stages of human development, early childhood is the critical stage that forms the foundation for children’s’ future wellbeing and learning ((UNICEF, 2001). Early Childhood Education helps a learner to develop skills, knowledge, personal competence and confidence and a sense of social responsibility. Information Communication and Technology in Early Childhood Education is significant as it supports and strengthens early childhood education practice. The present study is interested in assessing the integration of ICT particularly educational Compact Disc ROM as modern tool in Education. The study bases on the potentials brought by Educational Compact Disc. The researcher went through different literature on the potentials by linking them with the Constructive approach of learning. In the study it was found that the application of CD–ROMs was used more in language development, development of literacy skills as well as in the expansion of language vocabularies. However, changes in education were also seen that is from traditional mode of teaching into new model of teaching which is mostly supported by the Constructivism theory of learning. Thus, Educational CD-ROM as multimedia technologies is potential in creating high quality learning environments in early childhood education. Article visualizations:

Electronic behavioral interventions for headache: a systematic review.

BackgroundThere is increasing interest in using electronic behavioral interventions as well as mobile technologies such as smartphones for improving the care of chronic disabling diseases such as migraines. However, less is known about the current clinical evidence for the feasibility and effectiveness of such behavioral interventions.ObjectiveTo review the published literature of behavioral interventions for primary headache disorders delivered by electronic means suitable for use outside of the clinician’s office.MethodsAn electronic database search of PubMed, PsycINFO, and Embase was conducted through December 11, 2015. All eligible studies were systematically reviewed to examine the modality in which treatment was delivered (computer, smartphone, watch and other), types of behavioral intervention delivered (cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT], biofeedback, relaxation, other), the headache type being treated, duration of treatment, adherence, and outcomes obtained by the trials to examine the overall feasibility of electronic behavioral interventions for headache.ResultsOur search produced 291 results from which 23 eligible articles were identified. Fourteen studies used the internet via the computer, 2 used Personal Digital Assistants, 2 used CD ROM and 5 used other types of devices. None used smartphones or wearable devices. Four were pilot studies (N ≤ 10) which assessed feasibility. For the behavioral intervention, CBT was used in 11 (48 %) of the studies, relaxation was used in 8 (35 %) of the studies, and biofeedback was used in 5 (22 %) of the studies. The majority of studies (14/23, 61 %) used more than one type of behavioral modality. The duration of therapy ranged from 4–8 weeks for CBT with a mean of 5.9 weeks. The duration of other behavioral interventions ranged from 4 days to 60 months. Outcomes measured varied widely across the individual studies.ConclusionsDespite the move toward individualized medicine and mHealth, the current literature shows that most studies using electronic behavioral intervention for the treatment of headache did not use mobile devices. The studies examining mobile devices showed that the behavioral interventions that employed them were acceptable to patients. Data are limited on the dose required, long term efficacy, and issues related to the security and privacy of this health data.This study was registered at the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42015032284) (Prospero, 2015).
