Andragogy and Edutainment Approach: A Cross-Generational Solution for Improved Worship Practices

This research is a Participatory Action Research (PAR) that aims to improve the understanding and practice of ibadah in the Kampung Batu Dalam, Solok district community. Research is carried out through several cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection. In Cycle 1, diagnosis of problems is carried out through initial observation, identification of problems, analysis of root problems, and consultation with stakeholders. The lecture and learning methods were chosen as the initial action. Cycle 2 focuses on religious learning activities such as worship, sanctification, and sacrament and is taught to the community and children. The methods used include routine learning, competition, and active involvement of the community and children. Evaluations at Cycle 3 show success in raising children's spirits, but the main challenge is the difficulty of reaching older people who are still tied to the old tradition. The main findings of this study were the importance of combining an andragogic approach for the elderly and innovative game-based learning methods for children. Combining these two approaches is a creative and replicable solution to address similar problems in other societies with different characteristics.

Gamification integration into multilingual classrooms

This paper discusses today's multilingual classrooms, which are developing under the conditions of digitalization by promoting gamification or incorporating game elements and mechanics into non-game contexts. The purpose of the study is to substantiate and evaluate the impact of gamification on students' motivation, engagement, and enjoyment with the help of action research, and gamification is compared to the game-based learning method. The instruments applied were tests, interviews, and class observations. The gamification of learning is an educational approach that seeks to motivate students for the benefit and purpose of the foreign language class. When applied correctly, gamification can bring new and complex elements to the foreign language learning environment, which created quite favorable overall students' perception of the class. The findings indicate that the action research validates the effectiveness of gamification as a strategy for engaging, motivating and entertaining students in the university classroom setting.

Pengembangan Metode Pembelajaran Berbasis Permainan pada Mata Kuliah Agama Islam di AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar Menggunakan Model 4-D Thiagarajan

Learning theoretical subjects at Vocational Colleges (PTV) is very identical to practice, but has its own challenges, including the general basic subjects (MKDU) of Islamic Religion. The problem with Islamic religious education in higher education, apart from the curriculum, teacher competency, differences in the quality of student understanding, and scientific dichotomy, is that there is also a very small learning portion (around 2 credits) from other subjects. This condition requires creative innovation, one of which is the development of game-based learning. This research focuses on developing a game-based learning method with Thiagarajan 4D model on Muslim Personality material which consists of 4 stages, namely defining, designing, developing and disseminating. Research data was collected by interviews, observation and documentation. The design of this game-based learning method has been validated by material and game experts, tested on a small scale and implemented in classrooms. Based on the validation results from material experts and game experts, the results showed that game-based learning designs are very suitable for use. The results of small-scale trials and implementation in classrooms show that students are enthusiastic, actively discussing, asking and answering, confident, and eager to participate in learning without feeling sleepy. Game-based learning methods can be used as an effective way to teach theory courses.

The need for game-based learning methods to address cyber threats

Cyber security threats are increasingly a serious concern to organisations, with an annual worldwide cost of a trillion dollars in 2021. Potentially the most significant contributor to cyber security threats is the human element, yet this has typically been insufficiently addressed in proposed solutions. Significant resources have been allocated to software, training and other solutions designed to tackle this threat, yet existing methods to improve cyber security have failed to deliver the desired results. Commonly cited issues include the lack of engagement in training, leading to disinterest and a ‘one size fits all’ approach, meaning some groups benefit from training more than others. This study will examine the need for game-based training methods in addressing cyber security threats caused by human error. Game-based training methods have previously been proposed to improve engagement in training and this study will discuss other potential benefits of game-based training. The aim of this work is to justify the use of game-based training methods in cyber security and begin to determine which aspects of games may be most effective at causing long-term positive behaviour change. Following an extensive literature review, a pilot study was run in which a survey was presented to 37 individuals who have taken cyber security training in the past, to query opinions and perceptions regarding cyber security training participants had previously taken, and how they feel they would behave when faced with certain cyber security threats. Upon analysis in SPSS, the results of this work indicate that factors such as training frequency and exposure to cyber security attacks have a significant impact on cyber security behaviour. A correlation between engaging training and impact of training on behaviour also serves to justify the development of such training methods. When combined with previous results on cyber security training this highlights the need for training to be engaging, regular, and relevant, and shows that the realistic simulation of cyber security threats (such as in game-based training) is of significant benefit. These results will help inform future development of effective game-based training methods and encourage their use more widely.
