Multidimensional clustering analysis of mathematical knowledge difficulty based on Gspan

In addition to providing learners with a large amount of teaching resources, online teaching platforms can also provide learning resources and channels such as video courseware, Q&A tutoring groups, and forums. However, currently, there are still shortcomings in depth and dimensionality in mining student learning behavior data on the platform. In view of this situation, based on the learning interaction behavior, this study established the difficulty similarity model of knowledge points, and used spectral clustering to classify their difficulty. In addition, the study intended to use the maximum frequent subgraph under the Gspan framework to characterize learners’ implicit learning patterns. The outcomes expressed that the algorithm put forward in the study achieved the highest accuracy index of 98.8%, which was 1.4%, 4.0%, and 8.6% higher than Apriori-based graph mining algorithms, K-means, and frequent subgraph discovery algorithms. In terms of F1 index, the convergence value of the algorithm proposed in the study was 95.5%, which was about 2.5% higher than the last three algorithms. In addition, learners of all three cognitive levels had the highest maximum number of frequent subgraphs with sizes above 100 when the minSup value was 60%. And when the number of clusters was 3, the clustering accuracy of the three learners was the highest. In similarity calculation, the calculation method used in the study was at the minimum in terms of root mean square error and absolute error average index, which were 0.048% and 0.01% respectively. This indicated that the model proposed by the research had better classification effect on the difficulty of knowledge points for learners of different cognitive levels, and had certain application potential.

Thematic Analysis was used in making sense of the data. The results revealed that home school collaboration involves providing the necessary learning resources and exerting efforts to support independent learning. Learning resources were key instructional or supplemental in nature. Efforts exerted by the people behind this collaboration include parent-teacher partnerships, the provision of learning resources, and remedial instruction. The themes that emerged from the discussion showed that the collaborative efforts between teachers and parents fostered independent learning, which has a facilitative effect on their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Thus, the learners evidently showed clear manifestations of independent learning, such as an optimistic attitude towards answering modules, eagerness to learn, enhanced reading performance, and a clear indication of integrity in answering their self-learning modules. However, some identified factors could hinder school-school collaborative efforts based on the participants' narratives, such as family, school-related, learning resources, and personal factors. In capsule, home-school collaboration is a valuable strategy for fostering independent learning through its facilitative effect on the learner's mind, emotion, and behaviors.

Development of contextual learning models through collaboration between lecturers, students, and village governments in nursing education.

This study aims to develop a contextual learning model through a collaboration between lecturers, students, and the village government for nursing education. This study used a qualitative design. The process of collecting the data was done through focus group discussions with 12 informants representing four stakeholders. There were four focus groups, namely universities, village governments, community health centers, and students. The discussion used open-ended questions that were developed through two parameters, the learning outcomes and learning activities. The data analysis undertaken used thematic analysis specifically. There were 11 grouped concepts found in this study which were able to be divided into three categories. The learning outcome category was formed of four concepts, including attitudes, mastery of knowledge, skills, and values. The learning process category was formed of five concepts, namely learning resources, learning methods and forms, learning media, learning time, and learning subjects. The main sources of contextual learning were found to be programs and maternal and child health (MCH) issues in the village. Techniques and instruments were the two concepts in the assessment category. A collaboration between lecturers and the village government to help students and to provide learning resources in the village integrates the program (MCH) with the learning outcomes. These concepts are the initial framework to help the head of the study program to integrate the MCH programs and cases in the curriculum and to facilitate the contextualization of the knowledge from the nursing students.

SUPPORTING YOUNG CHILDREN’S MATHEMATICAL DEVELOPMENT: THE ROLE OF PARENTS

Undeniably, parents remain one of the most important resources needed in children’s mathematical development since children begin education from home. The part parents play in their children’s math education are a largely untapped resource for improving the quality of mathematics education among Ghanaian children. In order to maximise this resource, there is the need for basic research on the nature of involvement of parents in their children's mathematical growth. In view of this, we employed case study design to explore ways by which parents involve themselves in their children’s mathematical development and how these can be harnessed to improve students’ mathematics achievement in Tano North Municipality. This study was guided by the Epstein’s overlapping spheres of influence theory. A sample of 10 comprising 5 students and 5 parents was considered for the study. We employed a semi-structured interview to gather the required data which were analysed using inductive content analysis. Among the findings, it was revealed that some of the ways by which parents can help in the development of children’s mathematical development is provision of learning resources and activity at home, helping with mathematics homework, encourage good study habits, monitor their school attendance, organize remedial classes, parents’ participation in school activities, and teaching appropriate behaviour for academic success. Based on the findings of the study, we recommend the Tano North Municipal Directorate of Ghana Education Service to collaborate with headteachers at the basic schools to create family engagement programmes that highlight parents’ role in the children’s mathematics development and future success.

Exploring the Impact of Enquiry-Based Instructional Strategies on Students’ Attitudes towards Biology

Teaching methods dominated by teacher demonstration, chalk and talk, have been attributed as the main source of negative attitudes towards biology. This study aimed to explore the impact of enquiry-based learning on students’ attitudes towards biology. The study comprised 228 students purposely selected from six secondary schools. Focus-roup discussions were used to collect qualitative data with a phenomenological design. Six groups were probed with interview questions, three on the side of the experimental group and three on the side of the group subjected to conventional teaching methods. The data were analysed by using NVIVO software, and later, content analysis was employed descriptively. The study's findings revealed an extensive impact of enquiry-based learning on enhancing students’ attitudes towards biology. Moreover, a remarkable commitment was identified on the side of the experimental group, while exploring biological concepts in their groups. Difficulties, such as insufficient laboratory activities, lack of planning for practical laboratory skills, and the inability to grasp the scientific names of micro-organisms were identified. Learners proposed ways of improving teaching and learning biology, such as providing learning resources, extra time to explore the biological content, more laboratory practical work, access to ICT tools, field studies, and the need for active learning methods. More support in active learning was requested on the side of the control group. The students subjected to enquiry instructions improved their attitude towards biology. Further studies can adopt in-depth interviews, in order to gain more information.
