Learning Web for Brickwork Course at the Vocational College / Web Pembelajaran bagi Kursus Kerja Bata di Kolej Vokasional

The increasing demand for skilled workers in the construction industry underscores the importance of effective and modern education. Traditional approaches employed in teaching brickwork courses often face several challenges that impact the learning process. However, the use of academic modules resembling textbooks in the teaching and learning process (T&L) is seen as less suitable in meeting the challenges of the 21st-century curriculum changes. Moreover, the use of static and non-interactive modules leads to reduced student interest and attention because the T&L experienced is less engaging and makes it difficult for students to understand topics due to minimal sensory use. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the elements required in the development of a web-based learning platform for brickwork and the level of student understanding before and after learning using the web-based platform. The study design utilized was a quasi-experimental quantitative approach using pre and post-tests involving control and treatment groups. The instruments used were checklist forms and pre and post-tests. Respondents involved in this study consisted of experts in Educational Technology and first-year (semester 2) Malaysian Vocational Certificate (SVM) students from the Construction Technology course at a Vocational College. Data analysis in this study was descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean scores, frequency, Mann-Whitney U Test, and Wilcoxon T Test. The results showed a significant improvement in student performance after using the web-based learning platform for brickwork. Findings indicate that the development of the web-based learning platform in terms of interface display and interaction, content and instructional structure, and facilitation received high marks from experts. Essentially, the use of web-based learning for brickwork courses not only modernizes the educational approach but also optimizes accessibility, interactivity, and better prepares students for success in the construction industry.

Klasifikasi Tingkat Pemahaman Siswa pada Pelajaran Matematika di MTSS PAB 5 Klambir Lima

According to academic data, student math ability tests at MTSS PAB 5 Klambir Lima yield mixed results. There are students who understand math well, but there are also those who have difficulty understanding the mathematical concepts themselves. Math teachers at this school have difficulty designing lessons that can meet the needs of students with different levels of understanding. So, it is necessary to group student data to produce educational decision-making and improve learning effectiveness, such as through data mining. Data mining is a semi-automated process that uses machine learning techniques, mathematics, statistics, and artificial intelligence to identify and organize information contained in large databases. The process of finding information can be done by determining the decision rule based based on the level of student understanding in mathematics lessons using the Decision Tree Algorithm C4.5 method. The use of the Decision Tree algorithm C4.5 aims to make it easier to determine decision rules based on gender, Predicate, teacher teaching methods, student learning interest, and level of understanding. Based on the results of the study, it was found that if the teacher's teaching method is good, the predicate value is B, the student's learning interest is less interested, and the gender is male, then the student's level of understanding in mathematics lessons is not understood.

Standard Classroom Capacity: Effective of Learning Activities in Malaysian Primary School Buildings

The teaching and learning process needs to be carried out formally in the classroom, which is the main learning space in the school system. This should be implemented effectively to achieve a level of comfort for students. The capacity of a classroom can affect the way the teacher teaches and the level of student understanding. Classroom capacity needs to be emphasized to encourage and maintain student motivation for continuous learning, especially at the primary school level. This study aims to analyse classroom capacity in order to improve student comfort in the primary school building and thus enhance the effectiveness of learning. The qualitative method used for conducting the study is the method used in this research to measure the predicted findings. The present area of 15 randomly chosen classrooms was measured (Width X Length) using a qualitative method that also included semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study show that 50 percent of classroom capacity in primary school buildings comply with existing guidelines, established design rules and classroom area requirements. The current classroom size is 2.25 m2 per student with a significant increase in student satisfaction during the teaching and learning process. However, the findings from the semi-structured interviews highlight interesting points in relation to the appropriateness of classroom capacity. Teachers think that classroom capacity affects students' level of comfort. Respondents agreed that the capacity of a classroom is effective with a maximum of 26 students. This research paper emphasizes the importance of compliance with classroom physical performance standards in primary school buildings to increase the comfort level of students in the classroom. The research presented here provides current information, knowledge, and findings regarding actual classroom capacity in primary school buildings data that could have an impact on students' comfort. During the formative learning phase, very little meaningful attention is paid to the areas where students spend the majority of their weekdays. As a result, this can support experts in the fields of school building management, building facilities, and other related fields in determining and implementing the right classroom capacity in schools generally.

Applying Diagnostic Assessment with Rasch Analysis to Measure Students' Basic Understanding of Economics

Reviewing student understanding can be done through the diagnostic assessment process. However, many teachers have difficulty in conducting assessments. Based on the results of the theoretical study, Rasch Model Analysis can make it easier for teachers to conduct diagnostic assessments. Rasch model analysis can be used to measure the effectiveness of items on test instruments, the level of ability of respondents, and detecting differences in ability and item bias. For those reason, researchers conducted a diagnostic assessment to 330 students in 10<sup>th</sup> grade from three different High Schools in Gorontalo City. The test results processed and analyzed using Rasch modeling. The results was described in this study with a Quantitative Descriptive approach.

CardioStart Online: A Virtual High School Tissue Engineering Course

In this paper, we altered an in-person high school tissue engineering program to create a virtual course. Through this alteration, we aimed to show that online programs can still be engaging and at the same time provide greater accessibility and flexibility to students. This was achieved through utilizing Google classroom as a virtual platform for students to engage with course modules and assessments. After analyzing pre- and post-program survey responses in both the in-person and online offerings of the CardioStart program, it was found that students improved in their understanding of all of the tissue engineering topics that were introduced in the programs. Furthermore, when comparing the results from the in-person versus online offerings of the program, it was found that the level of student understanding and learning of these topics was similar across the in-person and online programs. We were also able to engage five times the number of students online as compared to the in-person program, which was conducted yearly for six summers. However, many students indicated that their experience would have been better if hands-on activities were included to supplement their knowledge of cell culture techniques after completing the course. The online program improved accessibility and scalability of the program compared to in-person workshops. Future work will consist of bridging this virtual course and the hands-on experiments performed during the in-person program to provide interested students access to laboratory experiences.

Ecological diversity methods improve quantitative examination of student language in short constructed responses in STEM

We novelly applied established ecology methods to quantify and compare language diversity within a corpus of short written student texts. Constructed responses (CRs) are a common form of assessment but are difficult to evaluate using traditional methods of lexical diversity due to text length restrictions. Herein, we examined the utility of ecological diversity measures and ordination techniques to quantify differences in short texts by applying these methods in parallel to traditional text analysis methods to a corpus of previously studied college student CRs. The CRs were collected at two time points (Timing), from three types of higher-ed institutions (Type), and across three levels of student understanding (Thinking). Using previous work, we were able to predict that we would observe the most difference based on Thinking, then Timing and did not expect differences based on Type allowing us to test the utility of these methods for categorical examination of the corpus. We found that the ecological diversity metrics that compare CRs to each other (Whittaker’s beta, species turnover, and Bray–Curtis Dissimilarity) were informative and correlated well with our predicted differences among categories and other text analysis methods. Other ecological measures, including Shannon’s and Simpson’s diversity, measure the diversity of language within a single CR. Additionally, ordination provided meaningful visual representations of the corpus by reducing complex word frequency matrices to two-dimensional graphs. Using the ordination graphs, we were able to observe patterns in the CR corpus that further supported our predictions for the data set. This work establishes novel approaches to measuring language diversity within short texts that can be used to examine differences in student language and possible associations with categorical data.

One-Minute Paper (OMP) as a Formative Assessment

In the teaching process, several daily quiz points cannot guarantee an increase in the level of student understanding because it may be caused by different factors, one of which is the formative assessment applied to students who are not effective. The aims of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of a One-Minute Paper (OMP) as a formative assessment contribute meaningfully to increasing the scores of ninth grade of students on their summative assessment. This action research employed a quasi-experimental pre/post-test design. Subject of this study consist of fourteen students who were classified as experimental group who participated in the teacher-led discussion with the integration of one-minute paper as their formative assessment. The data obtain using open-ended question. Feedback-giving on the next day of class were done as part of the intervention. The result of study show a comparison group with fourteen students who were classified as control group had done the traditional way of formative assessment – the quiz. Both groups fall in the accepted region at 5% level of significance with mean gains of 9 and 6, respectively. It was revealed that the two methods were effective in increasing the scores of the students due to their higher mean scores. However, the experimental group’s mean gain score and mean percentage score (MPS) were significantly higher than the comparison group; thus, one-minute paper is more effective than quiz as a formative assessment.
