The ARQUIGRAFIA project: A Web Collaborative Environment for Architecture and Urban Heritage Image

Abstract Purpose This paper presents the ARQUIGRAFIA project, an open, public and nonprofit, continuous growth web collaborative environment dedicated to Brazilian architectural photographic images. Design/methodology/approach The ARQUIGRAFIA project promotes the active and collaborative participation among its institutional users (GLAMs, NGOs, laboratories and research groups) and private users (students, professionals, professors, researchers), both can create an account and share their digitized iconographic collections in the same Web environment by uploading their files, indexing, georeferencing and assigning a Creative Commons license. Findings The development of users interactions by means of semantic differentials impressions recording on visible plastic-spatial aspects of the architectures in synthetic infographics, as well as by the retrieval of images through an advanced system search based on those impressions parameters. By gamification means, the system often invites users to review images’ in order to improve images’ data accuracy. The pilot project named Open Air Museum that allows users to add audio descriptions to images in situ. An interface for users’ digital curatorship will be soon available. Research limitations The ARQUIGRAFIA’s multidisciplinary team gathering professors-researchers, graduate and undergraduate students from the Architecture and Urbanism, Design, Information Science, Computer Science faculties of the University of São Paulo, demands continuous financial resources for grants, for contracting third party services, for the participation in scientific events in Brazil and abroad, and for equipment. Since 2016, significant budget cuts in the University of São Paulo own research funds and in Brazilian federal scientific agencies can compromise the continuity of this project. Practical implications The open source template called +GRAFIA that can freely help other areas of knowledge to build their own visual Web collaborative environments. Originality/value The collaborative nature of the ARQUIGRAFIA distinguishes it from institutional image databases on the internet, precisely because it involves a heterogeneous network of collaborators.

Motivating Female Students for Computer Science by Means of Robot Workshops

As women belong to a minority in computer science, this work aims to provide possible STEM education initiatives for middle to high school students. These initiatives are designed for institutions to contribute to increasing the proportion of women in computer science by using robots. Through applying these initiatives, institutions such as computer science faculties can help to reduce the gender imbalance, increase diversity and the amount of computer science specialists, who are requested immensely. Based on the results of conducted requirements elicitation a concept for programming an application with the NAO robot which trains vocabularies, as well as a concept with the Cozmo robot which piles up cubes, were developed. First tests were performed with female and male high school students. Either concept consists of an introduction of possible robotics application fields, a presentation explaining the Python program code of the concept as well as corresponding exercises with the robot and Python. Evaluation of the workshop concepts through questionnaires showed that both concepts have the potential to increase the proportion of women and to motivate female as well as male students for computer science. Moreover, recommendations for further robotics projects with respect to motivating young women for STEM can be made based on the insights of the requirements elicitation and the evaluation of the concepts. Nevertheless, further refinement and validation has to be undertaken. Long-term as well as short-term initiatives are feasible with the developed concepts. All participating schools showed high interest in both types of initiatives and further cooperation.

Listening Comprehension Proficiency Development of Information Technology Students in ESP classroom

The article describes the 2013–2019 study, conducted at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine), and involved 221 undergraduate students of Computer Science and Cybernetics Faculty. The research aimed at developing students’ motivation to self-improvement of foreign language (FL) proficiency as a whole and listening comprehension competence in particular. We made a primary focus on listening comprehension improvement in the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classroom since the students had performed poorer in listening than in the other ESP final exam activities. A new methodology for listening comprehension skills development through computer-assisted training activities related to the participants’ professional environment (technological) was proposed. The experiment, which encompassed a three-stage metacognitive strategy training based on TED Talks online conference resource, was carried out. New was the idea that the students multitasked at all experiment stages – Listening Comprehension Input, Live Listening Comprehension, Listening Comprehension Output – that is, combined a “live listening” activity with reading, writing and speaking practice. Statistical analysis of the 2013-2019 ESP exam results based on the descriptive method, single-factor ANOVA and effect size measurement quantitatively proved the efficacy of the implemented methodology. The worked-out methodology might be used an alternative to traditional teaching techniques due to approach fruitfulness. https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.18.11.1 5

Measuring Students’ Understanding in Probability Concept between Two Different Cohort using Rasch Measurement

The students’ level of proficiency in any particular course is individually distinctive. Therefore, it is necessary for the educators to be able to address their student’s level of ability in understanding of the course they enrolled. Particularly, educators should be able to design a set of questions which suits the level of their students’ ability. For this reason, this study is concentrated on identifying the level of student’s ability in understanding probability concepts that has been included in the statistics course (STA150: Probability and Statistics 1). This course was enrolled by two groups of students (Group A and Group B) from the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA Perak branch. Group A enrolled the course in December 2015 until March 2016 whilst Group B enrolled in June until November 2016 sessions. Since the aims of this study are to investigate the difference in students’ conceptual knowledge and understanding of probability concepts, as well as to examine which concepts were found most difficult by the students, hence the Rasch measurement approach was used to explore those aims. An instrument consists of 20 items in a test based on the “Counting Rule” topic was formed by an experienced lecturer to measure the level of student’s ability between the two groups. Based on the findings, it was found that there is a high reliability index of 0.93 (Group A) and 0.88 (Group B) which suggests the suitability of the instrument developed in this study to be replicated to the other samples, even though, the person student’s responses to the items for both groups appeared differently in terms of their difficulties in understanding the probability concepts which represents the student’s ability on this particular topic.

Fuzzy Tops is Ranking of Academic Programs’ Competitiveness

Acknowledging the level of relevancy and competitiveness of academic programs is very important to education providers. This in return will benefit students enrolling in the programs. Measuring the level of relevancy and competitiveness of academic programs can be very subjective. In this paper, the application of a quantitative multi criteria decision making method known as Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is presented. The relevancy and competitiveness of eleven academic programs offered at the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam are ranked based on seven criteria using modified Fuzzy TOPSIS. The criteria used in ranking of the academic programs were gathered from a group of twelve decision makers which comprises of top management of the faculty and university understudied. Quantitative ranking process was done based on data provided by the education provider itself. The seven criteria used include percentage of Dean’s Award recipients, percentage of graduates with CGPA > 3.5, percentage of graduate employability, program popularity, percentage of students’ entrance CGPA > 3.0, optimum enrollment based on allocation of places offered and future job demand. The weights of the criteria are determined using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. Modified Fuzzy TOPSIS are then used to rank the academic programs by incorporating the weights of criteria found. Future job demand and percentage of graduate employability are found to be the top two most important criteria used in the ranking process. Bachelor of Science (Hons) Statistics, Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) Intelligent System Engineering and Bachelor of Science (Hons) Actuarial Science are found to be the top three most competitive programs offered by the institution. Consistency ratio test done indicated that the responses of decision makers are highly consistent thus reliable as reflected in the consistency ratio being < 0.1.
