FizaAR: An Augmented Reality Learning Kit Integrating Social Cognitive Theory in Learning Physics

Physics education involves abstract concepts and mathematical problem-solving skills that can be potentially improved using Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). Although SCT has the potential to improve the learning of physics that involves abstract and mathematical problem-solving skills, there is still a lack of studies that examine the use of theories in the design and development of the topic of Gravitation. Based on a need analysis conducted in the preliminary step, there is a need to develop a learning kit to help students visualize abstract concepts and solve mathematical problems in the Physics subject. Therefore, a study was conducted at a high school to design and develop an Augmented Reality (AR) learning kit named FizaAR, specifically in the topic of Gravitation. FizaAR is an abbreviation that stands for Physics (Fiz), animation (a) and Augmented Reality (AR). The study utilized Design and Development Research (DDR). The implementation was carried out on 15 students at a high school. The result revealed that the desired learning outcomes on abstract concepts and solving mathematical problems in the Physics subject, especially in finding the escape velocity were achieved after the implementation of SCT that focused on observational learning. In this implementation in a classroom utilizing FizaAR as media and peer learning and SCT, the interaction between students during their class presentation was included in the expected learning outcomes. SCT states that peer learning approach could be useful to help students understand abstract concepts and problem solving. Thus, it might improve the learning of physics among high school students. This study suggested that the application of SCT, Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML), and AR is beneficial in developing Physics learning materials for high school students. Additionally, a stepby- step process of the design and development stages found in the DDR framework assisted the learning material design and development systematically.

A Contrastive Study of Lexical Bundles Expressing Gratitude in Dissertation Acknowledgments Produced by Chinese and American PhD Students of Linguistics

This study compared the five-word lexical bundles (LBs) expressing gratitude in acknowledgments of dissertations written by Chinese and American PhD students of linguistics. Two corpora were built: (1) The Chinese University Dissertation Acknowledgments Collection (CUC) which contained 700 acknowledgments with a total of 300,686 tokens, and (2) the American University Dissertation Acknowledgments Collection (AUC) which contained 700 acknowledgments with a total of 493,045 tokens. We then retrieved five-word LBs, of which LBs expressing gratitude in CUC and AUC were identified, categorized, and compared with respect to frequency, forms and structures. Major findings were: (1) the Chinese students used a substantially greater number of gratitude LBs than the American students, (2) the two groups used considerably different gratitude LBs, and (3) the two groups mainly relied on verb phrase-based LBs to express gratitude, but the Chinese students used a larger proportion of noun phrase- yet a smaller proportion of verb phrase-based items than the American students, and (4) the two groups used dissimilar structures and words to construct gratitude LBs. These findings enrich our knowledge of linguistic patterns in dissertation acknowledgments as a unique genre of academic prose, and provide corpus-based learning materials for students tasked with properly expressing gratitude in their theses or dissertations.

Should teachers stick to the script? Examining the effects of scripted lessons on student literacy in Madagascar

This paper evaluates the impacts of a Grade 1 literacy intervention, Mahay Mamaky Teny (MMT) translated to “I know how to read”, implemented in Madagascar on student literacy outcomes. The intervention included teacher training and coaching on effective literacy-focused instructional routines and strategies, scripted lesson plans for teachers, and student learning materials. We employ a cluster-randomized controlled trial, at the school level, to identify the overall causal effects of the intervention on student literacy outcomes using the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) administered in the Malagasy language. We contribute to the evidence base by disentangling the effect of teacher adherence to scripted lessons from the overall effect of the intervention. We achieve this by linking classroom observation data to student reading assessment scores. Our results show that students in the intervention group outperform their control group counterparts on all EGRA subtasks including letter sound identification, syllable reading, oral reading fluency, and reading comprehension. Additionally, within the intervention group, we find that EGRA performance is significantly higher when teachers followed the scripted lessons than when teachers did not.

Conceptual Understanding in Static Fluid through the Recitation Program for Students at SMA Ar-Rohmah International Islamic Boarding School

Conceptual understanding of physics is one of the important factors to improve the quality of learning physics. However, several studies have shown that student’s conceptual understanding is low, especially in static fluid material. Several studies have attempted to use recitation programs and have succeeded in increasing understanding of the concept. Student's conceptual understanding can be improved through independent learning. Independent learning can use recitation programs, but not many available static fluid recitation programs are equipped with concept explanations and do not yet cover students who study in a formal and boarding school system, such as boarding school students. Existing recitation programs are widely used by students to support independent learning. Recitation of students is still rare because of the lack of independent learning. Therefore, this study aims to improve boarding school student’s conceptual understanding in static fluid material through recitation program. This research is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental and one group pretest-posttest design. The recitation program is given in the form of an interesting computer-assisted animation outside of learning.
