IoT-Integrated Smart Attendance and Attention Monitoring System For Primary and Secondary School Classroom Management

The monitoring of student attendance is a crucial aspect of the assessment of academic performance. The conventional methods for monitoring student attendance have inherent limitations in terms of both time efficiency and accuracy. Consequently, there is a clear need for a more expedient and precise attendance system. The objective of this research is to present the design of a real-time attendance recording and monitoring system for students from elementary school to senior high school, which will be implemented using the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed system employs biometric technology in the form of face recognition. The methodology commences with the capture of images of students who leave the classroom during the instructional period via an active camera positioned on the classroom door. The system employs a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm and a powerful computer vision tool, OpenCV, to perform real-time face recognition. Teachers will be informed of student absences and returns, as well as at the 15th and 30th minutes. An absence exceeding 30 minutes is classified as truancy. The integration of sophisticated technologies, such as machine learning and image processing, not only enhances the precision of attendance records but also equips educators with an efficient and automated system for streamlining classroom attendance management. This not only optimizes the learning environment but also facilitates more advanced and efficient pedagogical practices.

Effect of the Effective Clear Width of Door in a Modular Classroom on Evacuation Time

The purpose of this study was to measure and analyze the change in evacuation time according to the effective clear width of the entrance door of a modular classroom using an evacuation simulation program. In order to measure the evacuation time in this manner, a scenario was constructed to analyze the change in evacuation time owing to the increase in the effective clear width of the entrance. On the one hand, an entrance door width exceeding 140 cm did not affect the evacuation time. On the other hand, the evacuation took the longest when the door width was much narrower (60 cm). As the effective clear width of the entrance to the modular classroom increases, the evacuation time decreases. If the modular classroom is occupied by many students, it is necessary to establish a separate rule for the effective clear width of the entrance in the Rule on the Standard for Evacuation and Fire Structure of Buildings.

Perancangan dan Simulasi Sistem Absensi Mahasiswa Berbasis Mikrokontroler RFID dan NodeMCU ESP8266

The attendance system or attendance recording is a separate problem in terms of practicality, especially if the attendance process is still done manually. One of the technological advancements is the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system. The RFID system is widely used as a security system device. This tool is designed by combining microcontroller work with RFID technology in a system. Data in the form of a unique code from an RFID tag is used as student data. Apart from being used as a media attendance device, RFID is added to its function as an automatic classroom access open device so that when students take attendance, the classroom door lock opens too which makes it easier for students and the campus. And also this tool is combined with the ESP-32 CAM camera module which is modified so that it can read a QR code containing student data in the form of numbers, even though the code reading speed is not as fast as a scanner but it can still function the same this will make it even easier when students take attendance when you forget to bring your attendance card.

How change-making teachers create bottom-up reforms

Within our schools are change-making teachers who innovate and find ways to make their schools better for students. Rose Sebastian shares the stories of two change-making teachers who taught at high schools where integration within the school stopped at the classroom doors. With perseverance, a strong sales pitch, and a willingness to compromise, both teachers were able to create new, more integrated courses at their schools. By looking closely at their paths to change, we can gain new insights into how bottom-up reforms are created and into how we can support more teachers in becoming change-makers.

Student safety and casualty mitigation during an active school shooter simulation: an exploratory study

PurposeReducing fatalities and increasing the number of students able to remain safe during an active shooter event is paramount to the health and well-being of schools and communities. Yet, methodological limitations and ethical concerns have restricted prior research on security measures during school shooter lockdown drills. This study aims to fill that gap by using virtual reality (VR) to statistically examine the effectiveness of active shooter response protocols in a simulated high school.Design/methodology/approachUsing a full factorial, within-subjects experimental design, this exploratory investigation used VR technology to investigate whether automatic classroom door locks, centralized lockdown notifications and the presence of a school resource officer (SRO) significantly impacted student safety and casualty mitigation. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 37 individuals who volunteered to participate in 24 school shooter scenarios within a simulated virtual environment.FindingsMultiple one-way analysis of variances indicated significant main effects for automatic classroom door locks and SRO presence. Automatic locks yielded faster lockdown response times, and both factors were significantly associated with higher numbers of secured classrooms.Originality/valueFindings from the current study address the gap in existing literature regarding evidence-based school safety protocols and provide recommendations for using VR simulations to increase preparedness and reduce fatalities during an active school shooter event.

Kunci Kelas Terjadwal Teknik Elektro UIN SUSKA Riau Berbasis RFID dan IoT

Currently, the Electrical Engineering classroom at Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau State Islamic University still uses conventional key. The use of conventional key in the classroom is considered impractical in it use, when there is no schedule the door is left open which causes chairs to move rooms and the use of classrooms is not according to schedule because of schedule changes occurred during the first to third week of lectures. The purpose of this research is to create a classroom security system using an automatic door lock based on the lecture schedule. The tool has two accesses by RFID tags and telegram. RFID tags can be used when the device is not connected to the internet and for emergency access. Telegram is used as a chat-based IoT device control to access the door and input the classroom schedule. The research resulted in a device for controlling classroom door locks that can only be accessed and opened according to the lecture schedule. Door access using an RFID card provides a response time in the range of 0.99 to 1.99 seconds and if using a message via telegram bot, the response time is in the range of 1.97 to 2.62 seconds.

Effect of varying corridor parameters on signal-to-noise ratio in classrooms

Corridors have a crucial effect on classroom acoustics, but its study is generally ignored. After examining the acoustic performance of a coupled space comprising a corridor and two classrooms, a new method for calculating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by the analysis of the energy distribution is proposed in this paper. Numerical experiments are conducted using the finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics. Various parameters are explored using the proposed numerical model to determine their effect on the SNR at different receiving points in a classroom. It was observed that factors such as the corridor width, absorption of the corridor carpet materials, and aperture area (i.e., classroom doors) affect room acoustics. The results show that an absorption treatment of the corridor has a significant effect on classroom acoustic performance. The findings of this study help us understand various metrics of acoustic performance in extended coupled spaces, such as speech intelligibility in classrooms and offices.

Developing a Sustainable Environment Based on Augmented Reality to Educate Adolescents about the Dangers of Electronic Gaming Addiction

The expansion of the use of electronic games has led to a surge in the rates of gaming addiction among adolescents. Electronic games addiction (EGA) presents, of course, psychological, hygienic, social, educational, and moral dangers. Therefore, it is very important to educate adolescents and enhance their awareness of the dangers of electronic games addiction (DEGA). Given the unique characteristics of augmented reality technology, the present study aims to develop a sustainable environment based on augmented reality (SEBAR) within educational institutions to educate adolescents about the DEGA. The SEBAR in the present study is based on the possibility of using the applications of augmented reality (AR) technology to generate digital objects of some images and barcodes projected on the school walls, classroom doors, school yards, and computer labs, in addition to specially developed missions to educate adolescents on the DEGA. In the present study, the embedded design as one of the mixed research methods was used to examine the effect of AR on adolescents’ awareness of the DEGA. Research treatments were applied to seventy-five high school students in two different schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The experimental processing was carried out in a school where it was possible to develop a sustainable environment while the other schools were assigned to the control group. For comparing the experimental group that used the SEBAR and the control group that used the normal environment based on a set of articles and tasks without any link to AR, the quasi-experimental approach was used. In addition, to gain a deep understanding of the effects of AR on the awareness of the DEGA, the phenomenological approach was used. Furthermore, an electronic gaming addiction scale (EGAS) and an awareness test for the DEGA were developed as study instruments. The findings showed an increase in the adolescents’ knowledge and awareness regarding the DEGA in the experimental group that used the SEBAR in comparison with the awareness of their peers in the control group.

Securing a Classroom Door in a Lockdown: Evaluating Two Types of Door Locks

While schools face a variety of security threats, none draw the attention of the community quite like an active shooter event. In fact, following an active shooter event in a school many states, local governments, and/or school districts will announce proposed security measures to better protect students, staff, and visitors to schools. While there are innovated security measures proposed, it is well-known that no shooter has breached a locked door. For this reason, this paper seeks to examine the efficacy of a simple security measure that could have an immediate impact on improving survivability during lockdown procedures – the type of door lock. Specifically, this paper examines two different types of door locks utilizing a randomized control trial. This research effort finds that simple, push-button door locks can be secured with fewer errors and faster than a door lock that requires a key.

An Innovation in the Development of a Mobile Radio Model for a Dual-Band Transceiver in Wireless Cellular Communication

A modern telephone can only be used if it is a dual-band transceiver. Also, an indispensable condition is the availability of Internet access. Modern cell phones can only be used for their intended purpose: making calls. Due to the fact that the operating system is preinstalled on devices, the list of possibilities for gadgets could be expanded almost indefinitely. So you can even do a full-fledged dual-band transceiver from a cell phone. In this paper, an innovation in the development of mobile radio models dual-band transceivers in wireless cellular communication is proposed. For the dual-band transceiver in the phone to work, you need an Internet connection. Progress in the development of technologies for mobile networks does not stand still, and with each new standard and technology for mobile networks, new opportunities for using the network open up for end subscribers. It is based on packet voice data transmission called push-to-talk.

Construction and Application of College English Multiple Intelligence Teaching Model Based on Internet of Things

An RFID sensor is installed above the classroom door, and the scanning distance is set to 8 m to identify the composite campus cards of incoming and outgoing teachers and students, so as to realize automatic statistics of teachers’ theoretical teaching workload and automatic attendance of students’ theoretical class hours. The system automatically starts the multimedia equipment just 5 minutes before class and conducts self-checks on all devices in advance, reducing teachers’ preclass operation steps. The multimedia management system of all classrooms is connected to the campus network and is centrally controlled by the cloud system. When the multimedia equipment in a classroom fails, it can directly instruct teachers to change to an idle classroom. Using the relevant theories of educational psychology and teaching theory, the WPBL teaching model based on the theory of multiple intelligences is expounded and demonstrated. It focuses on expounding theories and ideas; relationships and structures; and environment and resources and conducts in-depth discussions on relevant design rationales and architectural levels. Research has found that students are more interested in reading English than before. The reason is that in the English reading class of the experimental class, basically every student can have their own teaching activities, and more students like to participate in these activities. Applying the theory of multiple intelligences to English reading teaching has played a positive role in stimulating students’ interest in reading. Multiple intelligence English reading activities play an important role in improving students’ English reading performance. Through various teaching activities, the students in the experimental class are more interested and confident in the English reading class. Applying the theory of multiple intelligences to the English reading class can improve the students’ English reading performance and reading ability. In order to apply the theory of multiple intelligences to actual English reading teaching, when designing personalized English reading activities, teachers should learn to combine the theory with the purpose and content of English reading teaching.

Editor’s Introduction

Do educators’ responsibilities stop at the classroom door?

Schools are crucial sites in the politics of social and cultural transformation. However, we should not limit our work to the internal structures, processes, and content of schooling. The struggles in schools should be organically connected to community-based struggles outside of schools. Therefore, critically democratic action in education needs to transform not only schools, but also the communities and societies in which these schools are situated. Actions in and around schools are even more powerful and long lasting when they are closely connected to real people and real movements and mobilizations outside as well as inside the places where so many of us work.

Embodiment and mindful learning: Engaging the mind and body to dispel vulnerability

Some students enter a classroom with the expectation that learning is a passive exercise. My purpose as a professor, however, is not to lecture my students, but to equip them with creative tools to discover their own ideas and express them through movement/body. My teaching method, as a trained dancer/choreographer, while accepted in a dance-focused class may be quite different from what students expect in a general education course. Do I need to check my teaching methods at the classroom door to accommodate student preconceptions? One semester in particular caused me to pause, reflect, and work to develop a deeper understanding of how preconceptions from students may affect the learning in a course. This essay explores my adaptation of the models of ‘small teaching’ (Lang 2016) and my version of flipping the classroom to narrow disconnect between my general education students and me.
