Understanding Student Characteristics in the Development of Active Learning Strategies

Student evaluations after non-lecture, active learning sessions at Michigan State University, College of Osteopathic Medicine, have yielded bipartite responses with one group responding favorably and the other group negatively. The purpose of this study was to understand the characteristics, motivation, and learning strategies of medical students that find value in, appreciate, and perceive active learning sessions to be beneficial and those of students that do not. We generated a survey, based on the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), that included questions regarding overall student motivations for learning, learning strategies that students employed throughout medical school, and their perceptions of active learning. Following an active learning session on hyperammonemia, we administered the modified MSLQ survey. Using the results of this survey, we validated the modified MSLQ and identified correlations between student characteristics and their perception of the active learning session. We found that, in general, students with high task value, intrinsic goal orientation, self-efficacy for learning and performance, and control of learning beliefs felt more positively about their experience in the active learning session. Understanding the characteristics, motivations, and learning strategies that help students find value in active learning sessions will help medical educators develop future curricular material so that these exercises will better engage and be more effective with a greater number of learners.

Second language acquisition: students’ vocabulary size and their strategies for retaining it

ACTIVE LEARNING: MONOPOLY AS A MEDIA IN TEACHING GRAMMAR FOR EIGHT GRADER STUDENTS

The diversity in English performance is quite prominent when viewed from students' grammatical competence. For this reason, grammar learning innovation is needed so that student mastery improves. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using board game Engpoly (English Monopoly) in learning grammar for eight-grader students. It also provides reflection on student learning strategies in studying grammar. The design used a quasi-experimental design. For collecting the data, the researchers applied post-test and pre-test as research instruments. It involved two classes as a control group and an experimental group. The ANCOVA test results showed the significance of using Engpoly media in learning grammar. The finding also demonstrated that the use of fun media in the form of games can increase students' interest in learning grammar which was initially considered a very boring lesson by most students. It also encouraged student's active learning. This media has been proven to relate between the characteristics of eighth-grade students at junior high school with the appropriate grammar learning strategies they need. Since the use of Engpoly in grammar learning has a significant contribution, this study recommends that English teachers can develop Engpoly media for teaching grammar not only to eighth-graders but also to several other levels of english proficiency.

Evaluating Explanations: How Much Do Explanations from the Teacher Aid Students?

Abstract While many methods purport to explain predictions by highlighting salient features, what aims these explanations serve and how they ought to be evaluated often go unstated. In this work, we introduce a framework to quantify the value of explanations via the accuracy gains that they confer on a student model trained to simulate a teacher model. Crucially, the explanations are available to the student during training, but are not available at test time. Compared with prior proposals, our approach is less easily gamed, enabling principled, automatic, model-agnostic evaluation of attributions. Using our framework, we compare numerous attribution methods for text classification and question answering, and observe quantitative differences that are consistent (to a moderate to high degree) across different student model architectures and learning strategies.1

Improving Literacy for Students With Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: An Innovative Approach

Most students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) have significant reading difficulties, but educators have few in-service professional learning opportunities geared to reading instruction for these students. The Integrated Literacy Study Group was developed as an online professional development program to prepare elementary teachers to meet the literacy needs of students with or at risk of EBD. In this study, the authors use a within-subjects design to evaluate the feasibility of the 10-week digital program with 13 elementary teachers. From pretest to posttest, teachers made statistically and educationally significant gains in knowledge of evidence-based social and emotional learning and reading strategies for students with EBD, as well as significant improvements in general teacher self-efficacy, reading self-efficacy, and social and emotional self-efficacy. Pretest-to-posttest change in teacher burnout and classroom management was educationally significant, but statistically nonsignificant. Most teachers perceived the program content as relevant to their needs and those of their students.

Utilizing a Karaoke App in Learning English Pronunciation: A Case Study of EFL College Students

The use of karaoke songs as an instrument to learn English pronunciation is considered to be an enjoyable learning method especially to enhance English as Foreign Language (EFL) students' pronunciation skills. In discourse activities, unclear pronunciation might affect the interpretation among peers which might lead to misunderstanding or miscommunication. Because the world is becoming more global, EFL college students as future generations will need to improve their English pronunciation to participate in future international meetings. As Smith (2003) stated, native speakers, tended to be concerned about pronunciation when having conversations with non-native speakers. To minimize misinterpretation, English pronunciation should be given higher attention in listening and speaking instruction. This study surveyed 30 EFL students' experience of learning pronunciation by utilizing a karaoke app, more specifically after listening to an English song and singing via 'Smule-Sing!' karaoke app. This study explained that the listening and singing activities through 'Smule-Sing!' karaoke app assisted EFL learners to produce clear pronunciation devices including word stress, rhythm, intonation, and sounds. However, there are some limitations regarding melody rate and unfamiliarity with the sounds which need to have further research. This study implies the English language and pedagogy to promote and facilitate autonomous learning strategy in EFL students' learning process.

Teaching Reading Strategies for Vocational High School

The aims of this research were to find out the English learning strategies for students at the second years students of SMKN 1 Kramatwatu and the students reading progress after having their own strategy in enhancing their reading comprehension. In this research, the researcher used qualitative research by implementing a case study research, which is more emphasize social reality as something intact complex, dynamic, and interactive, to examine the condition of natural objects. Based on the finding of the research indicated that there are some difficulties faced by the students, namely limited vocabulary mastery so that it affected students in understanding reading. Based on the problems, the teacher used two pre-reading strategies: contextual redefinition and word list to help students understood the contents of a reading text. Based on the results of the analysis data, it was found that two-pre reading strategies: contextual redefinition and word list could help students in understanding a reading text, increased vocabulary mastery, and increased students motivation in reading. On the other hand, there were changes in student second year, the students who achieve more than minimum scores. It can be concluded that: firstly, the students’ difficulty in understanding reading is influenced by the lack of mastery of vocabulary and low motivation to learn. Secondly, the use of contextual redefinition and word lists makes it easy for students to find out the meaning of a reading with vocabulary and context.

An efficient optimizer for optimal overcurrent relay coordination in power distribution system

In this paper, a student-learning strategy based efficient optimizer has been developed to solve optimal over current relay coordination problem in the power system. The power system is a massive, interrelated network with inherent nonlinearity. The conventional analytical methods to solve an overcurrent relay coordination issue is difficult for such systems. Therefore, the metaheuristic optimization technique can be a good choice for relay coordination problem in the power network. Class topper optimization (CTO) is a stochastic technique inspired by the student learning behavior to improve his/her performance to be the best in his/her class which is successfully applied for different optimization problems. Like the other metaheuristic algorithm, CTO faces the problem of local optima with premature convergence to deal with complex problems. In this paper, a sigmoid acceleration coefficient based chaotic search class topper optimization (SCCTO) is proposed to develop an efficient optimizer and applied to solve optimal relay coordination problem. The logistic map based chaotic search is used at initialization stage of SCCTO algorithm. In the update stage of the proposed algorithm, a slowly varying sigmoid function is used along with normal varying function. It will keep diversity in local solution to explore the optimum global solution in the search space. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm to solve an optimization problem, the optimal overcurrent relay coordination in the distribution network is tested. The optimal setting of time dial of the relay (over current) with total operating time minimization is the aim of such optimization problem considering relay coordination time gap as constraints. Three types of power distribution networks are examined optimal relay coordination problems. The simulation result shows the efficiency of the developed optimizer in relay coordination with an improvement of 26 to 35% in total relay operating time than existing results.

Self-reported Learning and Study Strategies in First and Second Year Medical Students.

Medical school presents a unique challenge to the average learner as the instructional strategies used in medical curricula are often different than what the student has experienced prior. The large volume of information taught in medical school is delivered with a variety of techniques. After the educational material has been delivered, it is the student's responsibility to study and learn the information for future exams and for their future patients. The current study aims to explore what learning activities and teaching strategies first (M1) and second year (M2) medical students use and prefer. Additionally, the study aims to determine if there are cohort differences in classroom and study habits. A group of 95 M1 students and 109 M2 students were recruited to participate in this online survey study. The analyses indicated statistical differences between M1 and M2 student cohorts with M1 students preferring group work and small group discussions more than M2 students. Classic didactic lecturing was preferred by 71.6% of students surveyed. M1 students reported a greater tendency for self-testing and group study versus M2 students. GPA and study technique preference were not correlated. These findings indicate that medical students are not using research-based learning and study strategies at the possible detriment of long-term knowledge retention. Modeling of research-based learning and study strategies by medical educators is one possible solution to encourage medical students to change their study practice. Future work should focus on how medical student learning preferences change as they progress through medical school.

Furthermore, the impact of the teacher's strategy in student learning with dyscalculia can be seen in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, which have positive progress.

Student Self Regulated Learning Strategy In Online Arabic Learning

This study aims to describe the self-regulated learning strategy of students of the Arabic Language Education Program at UIN Antasari Banjarmasin in online Arabic lectures during the pandemic. This study used a qualitative method with an exploratory investigative approach to identify 100 students' self-regulated learning strategies to support learning Arabic from a distance. This study examines 4 (four) indicators in self-regulated learning strategies, namely Goal Setting, Environment Structuring, Task Strategies, and Time Management. The results showed that one of the goal-setting strategies, where students hope to master the elements of Arabic and have Arabic language skills, got the highest average score of 5.68 out of 6. While the time management, in which students benefitted from online learning as it is flexible in determining additional study time, got the lowest average score of 3.95 out of a scale of 6. This value still shows a positive trend which can be interpreted that those students have carried out self-regulated learning strategies well in online Arabic lectures

Dil öğrenme stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi: çevrimiçi eğitim öncesinde ve sırasında öğrenci uygulamaları

This article presents the results of a quantitative survey carried out with the participation of 52 students in the Department of French Language Teaching at Atatürk Faculty of Education of Marmara University in Istanbul. This study questions the language learning strategies of bachelors and master degree students before and during online education. Unexpectedly confronted with a change of situation in education, the students found themselves overnight having to follow an online way of studying to which they were unfamiliar with over the night. Not only strategic, technical, technological, organizational and spatial but also psychological and sociological adaptation were immediately necessary. This study highlights the language learning strategies of students based on four main axes: the first one is based on cognitive strategies, the second one emphasizes metacognitive strategies, the third one is on effective strategies and the fourth and the last one is on resource management strategies. The aim is to understand the development of student learning practices during online education, and to understand the new strategies put in place by the students themselves in order to adapt to this new way of teaching. Have they stuck to their familiar language learning strategies or have they developed new language learning strategies? We tried to understand whether the students continued studying using the same language learning strategies as before during online education or not, and whether they readjusted, modified, developed their learning strategies as needed.

Evaluating learning strategies in high school students

This study aims to address the assessment of learning strategies, as they are considered to be particularly important in the educational process. The principle of the theory that supports the substance of our work is that the educator and the educated are agents who become effective only in conditions of individual and bilateral co-balancing, in a common pedagogical field, determined by a number of variables specific to school space and time. The quality of the didactic act is measured by the efficiency of the training of students' personality competencies, context in which the combination of classical, traditional and modern strategies, according to the principle of complementarity, is a requirement and at the same time an essential condition of teaching and learning. Educational disciplines acquire educational strength through the action of teachers who use methodological and psychopedagogical knowledge operationalized in specific ways and techniques of action as a defining element of professional competence, methodical training makes it possible to transform general principles into teaching strategies, design realization and evaluation techniques.

Enhancing “Health-Promoting Schools” through Implementing Mental Health Program

BACKGROUND: The implementation of social and emotional learning program Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program is considered to be a low cost, simple method, and efficient intervention that shows a promise in promoting students’ mental health (MH). AIM: We aimed to enhance “The Health-Promoting Schools” initiative through the implementation of a MH promotion program. METHODS: The study is a school-based non-randomized controlled trial, in purposively selected schools. It included 460 students with a mean age of 11 (± 0.7) years old, all are boys, and were divided into two groups; intervention group (n = 230) and control group (n = 230). The ten components of the health-promoting school were assessed in the intervention school using the CDC tool “The School Health Index,” which enables the school team to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their school’s policies and programs. As a result, a tailored SEL program was developed fitting the Egyptian culture and students’ needs, along with the recommendations and trends. RESULTS: The baseline assessment results for the intervention school were in the medium range percentages (20–80%). The social and emotional part had not been a major concern given for our students. The students who participated in the SEL program evidenced significant improvements in grit, growth mindset, self-management, social awareness, and school safety compared to the control group. According to the teachers’ perception scale, 70% of the teachers reported that the learning strategies of students have been improved. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that a relatively simple-to-administer SEL curriculum added to the regular school curriculum for a period of only 2–3 months can yield promising results as regard to positive behavioral and cognitive changes in students.
