Pemahaman Konsep Matematika Melalui Pendidikan Progresif dengan Penggunaan Kalkulator Saintifik

The current education system must change according to the times. The existing conventional education system makes students far behind in keeping up with the times. Students are asked to remember knowledge from authentic sources such as reading textbooks, parents who rarely take part in educating their children, knowledge is only obtained from the results of teacher conversations in class, based on assignments given, very rare mastery of skills, and in the assessment, process are boxed according to the highest and lowest ratings. This conventional education system makes school a mandatory task and students must find ways to overcome it. The understanding of students' concepts is very lacking, especially the specter of mathematics which is seen as a difficult and long calculation. Progressive education is here to replace the current conventional education system and the use of scientific calculator digital technology media greatly facilitates students in understanding mathematical concepts which will be achieved from the indicators of concept understanding as follows: 1) restating the concepts that have been studied, (2) classifying objects -objects to achieve the formation of a concept, (3) identify the properties of a concept, (4) apply the concept logically, (5) provide correct and incorrect examples/contras of the concept being studied, (6) present the concept in the form of various kinds of mathematical representations such as tables, graphs, diagrams, pictures, sketches, or other mathematical models, (7) linking various concepts in mathematics and outside mathematics, (8) developing the requirements needed in understanding concepts.

The purpose of this study is to explain the role of school libraries in improving information literacy and reading culture of adolescents in high schools by choosing SMA N 16 Padang as the object of research and grade 3 as the research sample. The research method is descriptive quantitative by using questionnaires as a data collection tool using random sampling techniques. The results of the study were interpreted using simple percentages and arranged in a graph, with the results that students did not have good reading habits. Data shows that 45% of students spend only 30 minutes- 1 hour per day reading, focusing only on reading textbooks and school notes while doing homework and reading only for exams. The results also show that 60% of students very rarely borrow books in the library, and the library collection has not been integrated with the school curriculum beyond the thematic compulsory books available.

A Multimodal Evaluation of Podcast Learning, Retention, and Electroencephalographically Measured Attention in Medical Trainees.

Podcasts have become popular among medical trainees. However, it is unclear how well learners retain information from podcasts compared to traditional educational modalities, and whether multitasking affects the learner's ability to pay attention and learn. This study attempted to examine the effectiveness of podcast learning by using electroencephalography (EEG) to measure learner attention, in addition to test performance, task load, and preferences. The study used a repeated measures design with three conditions: podcast listening on a treadmill, podcast listening seated, and textbook reading seated. Participants were anesthesiology residents and medical students at a large United States academic medical center. Three topics were chosen: allergic response, liver physiology, and statistics. Each participant studied all three topics that were randomly assigned to one of three learning conditions - in random order. Participants completed a knowledge test at baseline, after each condition, and at four-week follow-up, and reported preferred learning modality and task load under each modality. Activation levels in alerting, orienting, and executive attentional networks were examined using EEG. Results: Sixty-one participants (11 anesthesiology residents and 50 medical students) were included in the study. Of the 61, six were excluded from the EEG analyses due to corrupted recordings. EEG results showed that mean attention network activation scores did not differ between the study conditions. Trainees preferred podcast learning over reading for all three topics. When compared to textbook reading, podcast learning (seated or on a treadmill) produced significantly better learning gain, and equivalent retention for two of the three topics. Our study is the first to use neurocognitive data, self-reported satisfaction, and knowledge test performance to demonstrate that podcasts are at least equivalent to textbooks for maintaining attention, immediate learning, and retention - even while exercising.

Exploring the Challenges Faced by the Bachelor’s level Students in Reading English Textbooks

Reading textbooks written in second or foreign language is considered more challenging than written in reader’s mother tongue. If the textbooks are written considering the level of the students, they read and comprehend the texts without extra effort. With this in mind, the study tries to explore the challenges faced by the bachelor level second year students while reading the textbook ‘Readings for the New Horizons’. The participants of this descriptive phenomenological study consisted of 15 students studying specialization English in Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) second year. I employed purposive sampling to select the participants and unstructured interview to collect the data. The collected data was transcribed and thematized and findings of the study were presented and analyzed employing descriptive techniques of qualitative data analysis. The findings revealed that students consider unfamiliar words as the major challenge followed by length of the reading texts, less proficient in English, sentence structure, content included in the textbook, number of lessons or reading texts incorporated in the textbook and lack of reading habits. The teachers need to involve students in intensive reading to overcome the challenges and to develop the habit of reading texts written in second language.

Palabras clave: hábitos de lectura, cocreación, motivación, modelo.

Do OER Textbooks Have Value Beyond Cost Savings?: An Analysis of Student Attitudes and Faculty Teaching Strategies in an American University

The study examines the use of Open Educational Resource (OER) textbooks by 704 students in 9 courses at an American public research university in their learning. It seeks to better understand the effectiveness of OER in comparison to traditional textbooks by surveying how often students read OER textbooks and examining how instructors in the courses are teaching using OER. The study found an alarming trend, the impact of OER has been limited because of students not reading assigned textbooks, and instructors not actively teaching with them. This may be reflective of a phenomenon not previously noticed by OER researchers, high textbook prices causing many instructors to abandon serious use of textbooks while students are still painfully purchasing them, causing students to develop a habit of not reading textbooks. Findings of the study suggests that student textbook use, their attitudes towards textbooks and how instructors are teaching with OER textbooks are important factors in assessing the effectiveness of OER.

Study habits contribute to students' biology learning outcomes with a t count of 2,794. The relationship between study habits and learning outcomes in general shows a low relationship (r = 0.161). Furthermore, the relationship between variable habits showed a low relationship between taking notes and summaries (r = 0.216), with study preparation (r = 0.174), reading habits of textbooks (r = 0.128), repeating lessons (r = 0.103), in facing exams ( r = 0.102) and the relationship between habits in completing tasks with learning outcomes (r = 0.000) is in the very low category. From this research, it can be concluded that the relationship between study habits and learning outcomes in taking notes and summaries with learning outcomes is in the low category, while the relationship between learning preparation habits, reading textbooks, repeating lessons, facing exa ms and the relationship between habits in completing assignments is in the very low category.

THE USE OF ENGLISH MEDIUM INSTRUCTION ON EFL STUDENTS AT TERTIARY EDUCATION LEVEL

English medium instruction has been used in many education levels. Although L2 learners study English since primary education, some of them still cannot communicate and write well in English. It is probably caused by lack of self-esteem, motivation, comprehensible input, and interaction. The present study aimed to investigate the use of English medium instruction on EFL students at tertiary education level. This study employed a quantitative method. The participants of this study were 45 undergraduate students at Khon Kaen University, Thailand. A survey questionnaire regarding the use of English medium instruction with a five point likert scale was assigned to the participants in order to obtain the data. The result of this study revealed that there are some subjects that use English as medium of instruction. Furthermore, the students stated that they got exposure in English in several ways such as read textbook, watch YouTube, and write power point in English. The results also showed that the students’ English ability significantly improve regarding the use of English as medium of instruction

DIGITALIZATION OF THE TSANAWIYAH MADRASAH EDUCATION PROCESS IN CIMACAN DISTRICT, CIANJUR REGENCY IN SUPPORTING SMART VILLAGES

The strong current of globalization has driven advances in technology, information and communication which then brought and forced changes in governance for various sectors, ranging from education, business to government. Communication technology is seen as capable of acting as an effective and efficient solution to a problem. One of the main phenomena of this technological advancement is the emergence of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 is marked by the widespread use of the internet, with sensors that are getting smaller, stronger and cheaper. School Digitization is an implementation of new learning, which is prepared to face the industrial revolution 4.0. The characteristics of the new learning are student-centered, use multimedia, prioritize collaborative work, exchange information, and encourage critical thinking and problem solving. Students do not only learn in conventional ways by listening to lectures from teachers and reading textbooks. However, they are challenged to collect relevant information, collaborate with friends, and solve problems from the problems they face and present them.

Pedagogy for Global Level Education

Children should be supported by parents’ teachers and by the educational resources to make them investigate the world. To encourage children on native culture, tradition and literature, child centric content should be featured. Teachers should be provided with proper virtual global learning projects and also proper resources should be provided through systems that is formed with native language teachers. Students across the Globe is fully equipped with proper multi-media through the educational institution in which they develop their knowledge. Learning should be made interesting. Interest could create to students if little fun is added into the way of teaching. Country like India which has a diverse culture has many creative actives for young learners. Students should be given practice on skill development inside classroom and need to be given ideas on how to implement those practises on learning real-world topic. There are certain traditional activities of learning such as reading text books, listening to lectures and most traditional method of memorizing their learning. Instead of these activities they must be prepared for more active learning to develop their global competence.

UNDERGRADUATE’S SPECIFIC STUDY SKILLS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Study skills play an important role in academic achievement of students. This research was conducted to determine the study skills used by students and the relationship between study skills and academic achievement. This study is a descriptive correlational research design consisting of 579 students studying in different departments at Nong Lam University who were selected through convenient sampling. Data was collected by using the Inventory of College Level Study Skills which was developed by Dennis H Congos. The results showed that concentration skills had the highest mean (m=3.69), followed by test preparation skills (m=3.50), note-taking skills (m=3.33), memorizing skills (m=3.25), textbook reading skills (m=3.21), and the lowest one was time management skills (m=3.00). The findings also indicated that one-third of the participants had poor study skills; a half of them had medium study skills and only 14.7% of the participants had good study skills. This meant that the students did not acquire effective study skills. In measuring the relationship, the results revealed that there was a significant relationship between study skills and academic achievement (CGPA). There were significant positive weak correlations between concentration skills and CGPA (r=0.113), and between test preparation and CGPA (r=0.082). The findings proposed that students should be provided with suitable guidelines for effective study skills resulting in better academic achievements.

Study habits and scholastic performance of junior student-athletes in educational district IV

This study was undertaken to determine the study habits and scholastic performance of junior student-athletes in Educational District IV. The researcher examined the profile of the respondents, scholastic performance in terms of their final average and their study habits in textbook reading, notetaking, reviewing, memorizing, preparing for tests, time management and concentration, using descriptive evaluative correlation approach for a comprehensive analysis of the study. In this study, the researcher utilized an adapted, modified survey-questionnaire which underwent pilot testing, validation and reliability test The researchers found out that the there was a significant relationship between student-athletes’ textbook reading, notetaking, reviewing, memorizing, time management and concentration and scholastic performance while there is no significant relationship in their preparation of tests and their scholastic performance. This signifies that the grade obtained by the student-athletes does not have anything to do with how they prepare for their tests. Based on the findings, the researchers noted that most of the respondents were Grade 10, males, and majority are into athletics. Moreover, the researcher concluded that the perception of student-athletes in different domains of study habits are all in the description of Sometimes. This implies that most of the student-athletes are not inclined to their study because they focus more on trainings as preparation for the competitions. Furthermore, the study revealed that the scholastic performance of student-athletes (M=83.43, SD=6.25) indicated that they still manage to obtain a passing grade. Moreover, the study also revealed that the most observed study habit is Memorizing (M=3.24, SD=0.48) while Taking Notes is the least observed study habit (M=3.00, SD=0.60). The researchers recommend that the results of this study be used in the preparation of the School Improvement Plan (SIP), as well as the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) of each school for sports and academic support for student-athletes in line with the realization of schools’ mission and vision.

Asynchronous learning among otolaryngology residents in the United States

ObjectiveOtolaryngology resident learning has historically relied on didactic lectures, textbook reading, and practical hands-on patient care. However, evidence suggests that an increasing proportion of residents in other specialties are deviating from this paradigm. This work aims to characterize otolaryngology residents' current asynchronous learning practices (i.e., personal learning outside of didactics and patient care). MethodsA thirteen-question survey of otolaryngology residents in the United States was performed from 10/1/2020–12/1/2020 assessing demographics, educational resource utilization, and educational resource preference. ResultsNearly all (99 %) respondents reported engaging with educational materials outside of didactics and case prep. Textbook reading comprised 27 % of residents' total study time, with additional time split between board-review book reading (20 %), searching the web (18 %), watching online videos (15 %), and listening to podcasts (10 %). Residents' highest ranked resources were videos, board-review books, textbooks, podcasts, and recorded lectures. Among electronic and multimedia resources, more than half of residents used the following resources: Iowa Head and Neck Protocols (91 %), Board Vitals (75 %), UpToDate (60 %), YouTube (57 %), Google (56 %), and Headmirror (54 %). ConclusionCurrent otolaryngology resident learning involves substantial use of asynchronous learning, including videos, web-based learning, and podcasts, which currently outpace traditional textbook- and didactic-based education. This underscores the need to consider a paradigm shift within academic otolaryngology education away from textbooks and other tradition media to the generation of high-quality multimedia resources for resident learning.

The Problems in Indonesian Language Teaching During the Covid-19 Pandemic

The rationale behind this study was the occurring problems in online teaching and learning of Indonesian during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the problems in Indonesian teaching and learning during the Covid-19 pandemic at SD Negeri 02, North Samarinda in the 2020/2021 academic year. This study applied a qualitative approach. The instruments used were interviews and documentation. The results of the study showed that there were existing problems in Indonesian language teaching and learning during the Covid-19 pandemic at SD Negeri 023, North Samarinda in the 2020/2021 school year. The problems identified were mostly related to the students. First, they were reluctant to read Indonesian textbooks. Additionally, they spent more time playing at home. It was unfortunate since to understand Indonesian, students should read Indonesian language textbooks more frequently. Besides, parents share the responsibility to supervise and control their children to learn how to read textbooks on Indonesian. Therefore, well-organized cooperation among the classroom teachers, parents, and students is needed to minimalize the problems. Hence, Indonesian language teaching and learning will create better outcomes

SIMP Dark Matter

These notes summarize the zoom-course on Strongly Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP) dark matter given at the Les Houches Summer School in the summer of 2021. An alternative title for this course would be `SIMPS, Cannibals and ELDERs', where our focus is on high-point interactions amongst dark matter particles. The spirit of the course is to give students a taste of these exciting developments in dark matter, while primarily teaching tricks and methods that are tough to captivate when reading textbooks or papers. These notes are written in similar spirit: I will put emphasis on how quantities scale and how to perform back of the envelope estimates, which should serve to help you when you develop the next great dark matter idea.

TEXTBOOK TECHNICAL PRESENTATION VS. READABILITY: AN ANALYSIS OF KBD FORM FOUR ARABIC TEXTBOOKS IN MALAYSIA

Background and Purpose: Efforts to improve the teaching of the Arabic language as a subject have the potential to strengthen the Integrated Dini Curriculum (KBD) in Malaysia. Thus, it is appropriate and necessary to examine the relevance of textbook technical presentation in terms of text readability. Therefore, this study aims to identify the relationship between the technical presentation of the Arabic textbook (al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah al-Mu’asirah) in the Form Four Integrated Dini Curriculum in Government-Aided Religious Schools (SABK) and the readability of textbooks.
 
 Methodology: This study was designed as survey research. 694 respondents Form Four SABK were recruited in this study, selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling method. The questionnaire items were administrated to the respondents after they were tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. This included frequency, percentages, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation tests.
 
 Findings: Results showed that the technical presentation of KBD Form Four Arabic textbooks is of a high level. However, the readability of the textbook overall was unsatisfactory. It was also shown that there was a weak significant positive relationship between the textbook technical presentation and the readability of Arabic textbooks for SABK students.
 
 Contributions: The findings of this study have implications on textbook writers to improve textbook readability, especially for language learners. The findings also may contribute to the Ministry of education, course designers, as well school administrators to be vigilant before making any decisions on textbooks used for educational purposes.
 
 Keywords: al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah al-Mu’asirah, government-aided religious school students, Integrated Dini Curriculum, readability, textbook technical presentation.

읽기 텍스트에서 한자병기를 활용한 한국어 어휘 교육 방안

In this study, Chinese learners proposed Writing with Chinese characters adjacently as a way to increase the efficiency of learning Korean vocabulary and reading comprehension. To prove this justification, 30 Chinese international students currently studying at Korean universities were randomly selected and surveyed. In addition, the effectiveness of Writing with Chinese characters adjacently on reading education and vocabulary acquisition was examined by writing Chinese characters together in the "Chinese character vocabulary" melted in the learning textbook. Accordingly, based on their background knowledge of Chinese characters, Chinese learners concluded that they not only easily understand the meaning of the text but also are effective in acquiring vocabulary. It should also not be overlooked that this can be an important motivation for learners in Chinese character cultures to learn Korean rather than learners in other cultures. Based on the conclusions drawn here, it is possible to find new teachinglearning methods that can efficiently acquire Korean vocabulary and improve reading skills. In order for this Chinese character method to establish itself as a Korean language teaching method for Korean learners in the Chinese character culture, it must be actively applied to various textbooks such as Korean reading textbooks, Korean vocabulary learning textbooks, and major textbooks. And it is necessary to be sure that Writing with Chinese characters adjacently can be the best means of helping understand Korean language.

The The Changing Role of Textbooks in Primary Education in the Digital Era: What Can We Learn from Reading Research?

Textbooks have been the primary teaching tool since the 19th century. By their nature, they contained a comprehensive compilation of the content of a particular subject with the intention of explaining it; this knowledge, in turn, was usually filtered to conform to a particular society’s expectations of elementary knowledge about the natural and social environments. There has been a great deal of research on how the content of textbooks has changed in line with changing values in different societies and over different periods. However, little research has been done on how textbook reading substrates and design have changed and how these changes have affected learning and comprehension: studies that systematically examined the effects of different reading substrates and different layouts on reading and learning comprehension did not appear until the late 20th century and early 21st century. We examine such studies and PISA 2021 results to draw five conclusions for future textbook research. These conclusions indicate that screens are worse than printed texts for some types of reading, while interactivity and dynamic design are not values per se but require coherent design to improve reading performance and higher-level thinking skills.
