Applying Digital Technology Opportunities to Education System of Azerbaijan

One of the areas in which the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) has made the greatest contribution is education. The introduction of new technology in education increases the quality of the educational process and creates conditions for the adoption of ICT by the younger generation. Modern technology opportunities have changed education process. It has opened new ways to a massive amount of information through online books, podcasts, images, and videos. Some years ago technology was only used for completing assignments. But nowadays it is used for various aims, from learning to communicating and collaborating. Technology has also opened up numerous opportunities for communication and collaboration. For instance, students in a classroom in rural part of the world can learn from an article published by a other developed countries. Students can communicate through email and even have a lecture, or class virtually via video conference. Furthermore, technology has changed the role of teachers and students. Traditionally, teachers were the centre figure of the learning process, and it was called teacher-centered model. However, with the digital technology sources, information is accessible to everyone, and it gives us more chances for student-centered learning model. In this case the role of teachers is as a guide, and students try to search, to analyze the materials themselves. Of course, the State Program implemented by the Ministry of Education regarding the electronicization of education has created a serious change in this field. During the implementation of the program, modern technological tools were installed in many schools from the capital to the regions. There is no such school that does not have a computer room for the use of students, and does not have an Internet network installed. In most of the capital's schools, the high stage of the electronicization of the educational process has begun. The main purpose of the study is to search literature materials and policy papers about this topic and making description.

Success of university students in preparing hots questions using assignment-based direct instruction

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of assignment-based direct instruction in preparing university students to develop questions that test learners' thinking skills. One of the greatest challenges facing universities is preparing potential teachers with the ability to develop questions that test students' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Using a quantitative descriptive approach, this study analyses the work of 40 university students who were asked to prepare 20 items, as well as question grids and cards for each item, after having undergone assignment-based direct instruction. Analysis shows that: (1) students exhibited a good command of materials (87%), (2) students exhibited a good command of question structure (88%), and (3) students exhibited a good command of Indonesian-language grammar (88%). This study challenges the assumption that teacher-based learning is ineffective, providing evidence that should be considered when evaluating the learning process and its current emphasis on student-centered learning models that sideline teachers. Direct learning based on giving assignments can increase student success in compiling HOTS questions and be a solution to the learning process, which has so far focused a lot on the student-centered learning model, so that the teacher's position is neglected. It suggests that effective pedagogy should not only consider students as active learners but also recognize teachers as creative and pro-active educators. The implications of this study highlight the need for active collaboration between teachers and students in the learning process in higher education.

IMPLEMENTATION OF SCAFFOLDING STRATEGY TO IMPROVE CHEMICAL LITERATION CAPABILITIES AND SELF-EFFICACY THROUGH USE OF THE PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING MODEL AT COLLOID MATERIAL

The scaffolding strategy is designed to address difficulties in understanding materials. By using scaffolding, it is possible to improve chemical literacy and self-efficacy. The teaching of colloidal material has not represented abstract material adequately. Therefore, to enhance chemical literacy and self-efficacy, a student-centered learning model is needed, namely the problem-based learning (PBL) model. This study aims to determine the differences in chemical literacy and self-efficacy in the scaffolding strategy with the PBL model, the relationship between chemical literacy and self-efficacy, and student responses to the scaffolding strategy with the PBL model.The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. Purposive sampling was employed for sample selection. The study used descriptive and inferential analysis, comparing dependent variables in the experimental class using the scaffolding strategy with the PBL model and the control class using the PBL model, with a sample of 73 students.The results indicate a significant difference in chemical literacy and self-efficacy between the scaffolding strategy with the PBL model and a positive response from students in terms of chemical literacy and self-efficacy after treatment. The Pearson correlation (rxy) between chemical literacy and self-efficacy was 0.674, indicating a strong correlation. The R2 value was 0.454, meaning that self-efficacy contributes 45.4% to chemical literacy. Students showed a positive response to the scaffolding strategy with the PBL model compared to without the scaffolding strategy. Therefore, the implementation of the scaffolding strategy with the PBL model can enhance chemical literacy and self-efficacy by providing students with assistance in understanding materials and problem-solving. The application of the scaffolding model in PBL activities should be modified using supportive media with characteristics similar to those in this study.

Ethnomathematics approach integrated flipped classroom model: Culturally contextualized meaningful learning and flexibility

The student-centered learning model has yet to adapt to the environment around students, including cultural contexts and traditions, and is less applicable and less effective for improving students' mathematical abilities. The meaningfulness obtained from mathematics learning based on activity has yet to provide optimal results, and there are still contradictions between learning theories and the application results. Therefore, this study aims to provide recommendations for developing new models and theories to optimize flexible and meaningful learning implementation using qualitative research methods with an integrative literature review approach. The results show that student-centered learning needs attention to personal factors and behaviors. Furthermore, learning with a cultural approach through an ethnomathematics context and flexibility in learning are also needed. The implication of this research is to recommend developing a model that integrates the flipped classroom model and the ethnomathematics approach. Meanwhile, a new theory was also proposed due to the development of the Cognitive-Social-Cultural Constructivist Theory of Learning (CSCCTL). Further studies on developing theories from the ethno-flipped classroom model should be conducted.
