Application of the ASICC Learning Model (Adapting, Searching, Interprenting, Creating, and Communicating) to Increase Physics Creativity

This research aims to improve students' physics creativity skills through the application of the ASICC learning model. This research is considered necessary because the results of the initial ability analysis of students through teacher and student respondents gave low results of 55 with less categories. This study is a class action research conducted as many as two cycles. Matter in the first cycle is sound waves and matter in the second cycle is light waves. This research was conducted at SMAN 1 Perhentian Raja Kampar regency, Riau province, with the research subjects of grade XI science students as many as 25 people, 10 men and 15 women. This step in research starts from the precycle stage (initial capability analysis), making learning tools and instruments, validating devices and instruments, actions, evaluation, and reflection. Assessment of student creativity is carried out every time the meeting is assessed by the teacher himself through the instrument of student creativity. The student work created is a simple work that can be completed in one meeting. The students' work is in the form of concept maps, poster designs, and data graphics. The average results of students' creativity skills obtained for cycle 1 to cycle 2 are, for cycle 1 with an average of 70.85 and cycle 2 with an average of 77.5. This increase can be seen from the change in the value of creativity for the same work in different cycles

Development and validation of the Workplace Learning Inventory in Health Sciences Education: a multimethod study

Health sciences students face many challenges in regard to clinical practical learning. A better understanding of student learning is required to address student needs in this crucial phase. The theory of self-regulated learning provides a comprehensive view of learning and could serve as a basis for further research. There are instruments to assess self-regulated learning in preclinical academic learning. However, there are no such instruments for workplace learning. The aim of the present study is to provide a comprehensive inventory from which researchers can select those scales that are relevant to their research questions in the investigation of workplace learning. Hence, the aim is to develop and validate a set of scales to assess undergraduates’ workplace learning in health sciences education in four areas (cognition, motivation, emotion, and context) on two levels (the learning process level and the metalevel). Study 1 is a qualitative multimethod study to identify indicators and develop items. It integrates the perspectives of students, teachers, and researchers and includes six steps: literature review, interviews, synthesis, item development, expert review, and cognitive pretesting. This study yields a set of scales for each area on both levels. Study 2 is a quantitative study to assess the psychometric properties. The results show acceptable values in terms of unidimensionality, reliability and validity for each of the 31 scales. The newly developed Workplace Learning Inventory is comprehensive; the scales are relevant to workplace learning and short enough that their administration is feasible in the workplace setting. The rigorous process of questionnaire development contributes to the validity of scales. By providing the Workplace Learning Inventory, we hope to encourage research on workplace learning in health sciences education from an educational psychology perspective.

Dynamic Monitoring of Low-Yielding Gas Wells by Combining Ultrasonic Sensor and HGWO-SVR Algorithm

As gas wells enter the middle and late stages of production, they will become low-yielding gas wells due to fluid loading and insufficient formation pressure. For many years, there has been a lack of effective dynamic monitoring methods for low-yielding gas wells, and it is difficult to determine the production of each phase in each production layer, which makes further development face great uncertainty and a lack of basis for measurement adjustment. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an intelligent dynamic monitoring method suitable for low-yielding gas wells, which uses an ultrasonic Doppler logging instrument and machine learning algorithm as the core to obtain the output contribution of each production layer of the gas well. The intelligent dynamic monitoring method is based on the HGWO-SVR algorithm to predict the flow of each phase. The experimental data are selected for empirical analysis, and the effectiveness and accuracy of the method are verified. The research shows that this method has good application prospects and can provide strong technical support for gas reservoir production stability and development adjustment.

What we can do with sounds

Auditory perception can be dynamic when sound sources are in motion or changing, when the listener is moving relative to the source of sound, or both. Moreover, our engagement with the acoustic environment is often active rather than passive. That is, sounds can be brought into use to support and guide perceptual-motor behaviour. This presentation will review examples of recent empirical work on the role of auditory perception in the control of motor behaviour: what we can do with sounds. Data from experiments on intercepting moving objects without vision, acoustic navigation and orientation in people with visual impairments, exploration and learning of novel digital musical instruments, and rhythmic sounds in gait rehabilitation, all demonstrate different ways that sounds can convey action-relevant information for skilful listeners. Furthermore, they point to a need to consider the auditory system not merely as a passive antenna for inert distal stimuli, but as integrated within an active meaning-seeking organism interacting with a dynamic environment.

Hardiness and Zoom Fatigue on Nursing Students: A Cross-Sectional Study in Indonesia During Online Learning.

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a change in learning methods to online learning. Zoom fatigue is a problem that many students experience during online learning. Zoom fatigue has an impact on physical and psychological problems so that it disrupts the online learning process. Hardiness is needed by students in order to adapt to online learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between hardiness and zoom fatigue in nursing students at Universitas Padjadjaran. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. The sample technique used total sampling. Respondents were 480 nursing students at Universitas Padjadjaran. The research instrument used the Zoom Exhaustion & Fatigue Scale questionnaire and the Hardiness Instrument for the Online Learning. This study shows that almost half of the respondents have a medium hardiness level category (45%) and a zoom level of medium fatigue category (46.67%). The results of the analysis show that there is a significant negative relationship between hardiness and zoom fatigue in nursing students at Universitas Padjadjaran. The higher the student's hardiness level, the lower the student's zoom fatigue level. High hardiness can increase focus during the learning process, increase student participation, and reduce stress and fatigue in students during online learning. Lecturers and students need to collaborate to improve the learning process and repeat mental health problems during online learning. This data forms the basis for university and school nurses in providing interventions for nursing students to reduce the problem of zoom fatigue.
