Perception versus Historical Knowledge in Baccalaureate: A Comparative Study Mediated by Augmented Reality and Historical Thinking

Numerous studies have shown that a traditional model persists in the teaching of history, in which students are not allowed to think for themselves and are assigned a passive role based on the mere memorisation of information. This reality is in opposition to the technological and technical boom taking place in the current educational context and to the enhancement of innovative strategies and methodologies that mark the role that students must occupy as protagonists of their own learning. This paper aims to compare the perceptions and historical knowledge of 93 baccalaureate students (16–18 years of age) following the implementation of an intervention programme based on active learning situations mediated by augmented reality and historical thinking skills. A quasi-experimental quantitative design with a non-equivalent control group was employed to meet these objectives. The results showed higher scores in the perception and knowledge of students in the experimental group compared with those in the control group. This line of work should be continued in the future with new studies to corroborate these findings, prioritising pedagogical models based on student activity and protagonism via the use of technology and critical thinking.

Social Loafing pada Anggota Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa Universitas Negeri Padang Menggunakan Pendekatan Thematic Analysis

Student Activity Unit (UKM) is the main forum for student self-development. However, UKM at Padang State University face several challenges related to the lack of member contributions to UKM work programs, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of the MBKM program. This study aims to understand the phenomenon of social loafing in UKM members at Padang State University by focusing on the reasons for joining, member contributions, barriers, and their impact on UKM. The study used qualitative methods with a thematic analysis approach through an open questionnaire on 200 active UNP students who became members of UKM in 2020-2022. The findings showed that respondents joined UKM because they wanted to develop themselves, improve social relations, match with interests and talents, increase experience, suitability of UKM with college majors, a good organizational environment, recommendations from others, fill spare time, and attractive attributes of UKM. Although many actively contribute, some members are less active due to factors such as perceived co-worker loafing, cohesivity, communication, and workload distribution at the organizational level. Individual factors such as time management, motivation, personal problems, adversity quotient, involvement in other activities, self-efficacy, passion, and academic stress also influence participation. These barriers can reduce the effectiveness of UKM with impacts such as unattainable targets, low participation, and high turnover. Impact on individuals such as physical and psychological disorders, decreased motivation, and suboptimal performance.

What is important and why? Students’ experience of educational activities including technologies

Digital technology is now a central part of higher education and has led to high expectations of increased student activity, engagement, and learning. Drawing on two research projects about Norwegian bachelor’s students, this article explores how they experience educational activities, including the use of technologies in on-campus courses. It is vital to understand this from the students’ point of view. Data have been gathered from qualitative group interviews and an online survey. The analysis draws on socio-cultural perspectives on learning, focusing on what forms of activities and technologies the students experienced as important and useful, or challenging, in various contexts. The results suggest that, despite extensive access to digital technologies, the students experience that activities that support physical encounters on campus, such as lectures and group work, are more important and beneficial than flexible digital solutions. Technologies are basically experienced as a supplement for handling academic demands. The possible implications this has for students’ experiences of educational activities and technology use, and teachers’ facilitation, are discussed. The overall intention is to highlight the significance of the students’ experiences, as well as contribute to more realistic institutional expectations for the pedagogical use of technology.

Using The Discovery Learning Model to Improve Students' Activities and Learning Outcomes in Vocational High School

The objectives of this study are to stimulate more activity and enhance student learning. In this study, the Discovery Learning methodology is applied. This study follows the method of Kemmis and McTaggart's classroom action research. Thirty students from SMK Negeri 1 Cangkringan's XII ATR 1 class served as the study's subjects. Test papers were used to gauge student learning outcomes, while observation sheets were used to estimate student activities. The percentage technique is used to look at the connection between activity and student learning outcomes. Learning success is measured using three variables: the growth of the learning activity, the grade point average, and the proportion of students who finish. The findings revealed a propensity for student activity to rise in cycles 1 and 2. The average class score grew from cycle one to cycle two by 71.5 points to 85 points. More students finished the cycle, from 60% in cycle 1 to 86.7% in cycle 2. Thus, the discovery learning paradigm can enhance class XII students' engagement and learning outcomes.
