Enhancing creative problem solving and learning motivation in social studies classrooms with gamified cooperative learning

Creative problem solving (CPS) is crucial for learners in our rapidly changing society. Literature suggests that cooperative learning environments, which encourage the exchange of ideas and new perspectives, can foster CPS. However, in reality, students often face low motivation, which hinders their willingness to work collaboratively. Limited empirical research has simultaneously addressed both CPS and learning motivation. Therefore, this quasi-experimental research aims to compare CPS and learning motivation in social studies before and after participation in gamified cooperative learning activities (GCL) and traditional cooperative learning activities (TCL), as well as between the two groups. The study involved 64 seventh-grade Thai students selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, paired samples, and independent-samples t-tests. The findings indicated a significant increase in overall CPS and learning motivation in the GCL group. Furthermore, the overall CPS of the GCL group was significantly higher than that of the TCL group, although certain subcategories did not show significant differences. This study provides empirical insights into developing learning activities that enhance creative problem-solving and learning motivation, contributing to the literature on cooperative learning approaches that incorporate gamification.

ENHANCING LANGUAGE LEARNING ATTITUDES THROUGH GAMIFIED LANGUAGE CAMPS: A 21ST CENTURY APPROACH

Teachers are accustomed to traditional teaching, in which chalk-and-talk becomes the prominent approach in language teaching. Hence, planning a creative learning environment can be demanding as it comes with challenging tasks. However, the traditional way of teaching and learning can be inadequate for learners to retrieve knowledge in the 21st century classroom, as they prefer game-like activities rather than pen-and-paper lessons. Therefore, learners’ experience of using gamification in the classroom is significant as it sparks curiosity and immediate enthusiasm, which reflect the learners’ willingness to learn. Importantly, gamification prepares learners to be active and take responsibility for their learning. Fun games instilled during the lessons are believed to be more effective in producing positive outcomes due to learners feeling motivated to play more. However, learners would not realize that they are learning. This was followed by a selection of 108 respondents using gamification and a series of class activities in language learning at a local primary school in Kuala Selangor district, Selangor. The study was conducted using a quantitative survey method which involved administering questionnaires to the Language Camp participants at their respective schools. Data was collected, analyzed accordingly, and presented in the form of tables. The results showed that the integration of gamification in language learning aids learners to improve their creative, critical, and problem-solving skills. Likewise, interesting and engaging activities subconsciously spark the learners’ interest in language learning.

Chord sense: Enhancing stylistic Chord Progression generation with fine-tuned transformers

Chord Progressions (CP) constitute a fundamental element within musical compositions. Skillful application of harmonies can captivate audiences through the colors and emotions they elicit. While existing research has predominantly focused on generating stylistically coherent CPs and accompaniments, relatively few studies have delved into the optimization of generating specific CPs of interest across diverse harmonic contexts. On this basis, this study aims to address this gap by fine-tuning a foundational CP model using datasets generated through three distinct strategies. Subsequently, the performances of the strategies are compared using both existing and novel evaluation metrics. According to the analysis, the results reveal that the model fine-tuned using the third strategy demonstrates proficiency in producing the target CPs across diverse contexts and modes of generation in a musically coherent manner. This approach opens up avenues for creative learning and sharing of stylistic chord progressions through exchanging customized fine-tuned chord models.
