Student Answers Research Articles

Co-constructing novel science stories or reciting epic narratives?

Although research findings have emphasized the importance of students being engaged in dialogue and co-construction of science knowledge, implementing the teaching required to promote such engagement is challenging for teachers. Co-construction is crucial not only for students' understanding of science content but also for their familiarity with some of the attributes associated with the nature of science (NOS). Inquiry-based science classroom discourses could facilitate NOS familiarization processes by promoting creativity and collaboration in upper primary school. This article presents findings from a case study of how one teacher created and navigated opportunities for students’ co-construction of science stories in a grade 6 class (age 12) working on the topic “Substances around us”. To examine the classroom dialogue and the teacher’s enablement of students’ co-construction in class, observation data were gathered over seven weeks and analysed using principles indicative of classroom dialogue. Findings show that while opportunities for co-construction were created in science class through for example open-ended questions, the teacher’s use of IRE, complemented with boosted communication for evaluation of student answers, often hampered dialogue and co-construction of novel science stories regardless of how the teaching was organized.

Empowering college physical education: AI-driven training, teaching, and intelligent information processing

The current status, methods utilized for Physical Education Training and Teaching System for College Students, and difficulties during information processing are all investigated in this comprehensive study. We compiled 130 empirical research on Artificial Intelligence-based Physical Education (AIPE) using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses are analysed. Research shows that AI may improve health tracking, individualized training, and analysis of sporting performance. There is a lot of promise in AIPE for individualized lessons, immediate feedback, varied classroom settings, and evaluation. The problems arise when dealing with technological dependability, privacy concerns, and the need for instructor assistance. These results give light on important questions for future AIPE. This research delves into the process of creating and launching an all-encompassing educational platform that makes use of AI and data processing methods. Our system’s goals include improving the quality of instruction, tailoring feedback to each student, and enhancing the overall learning experience. AI Algorithms powered by artificial intelligence help us shift through student test scores, identify knowledge gaps, and modify lessons appropriately. This makes sure that the curriculum meets each student’s needs. Practical exercises, quizzes, and assignments get immediate feedback through the system. It uses natural language processing (NLP) to analyse student answers, find misunderstandings, and provide help for fixing them. The system personalizes learning routes according to students’ choices, learning styles, and progress. It suggests further reading, interactive games, and group assignments. Through the automation of administrative activities, generation of analytics reports, and suggestion of pedagogical changes, the system aids instructors. It makes it easier for students and instructors to talk to one another. Data protection, overcoming AI biases, and getting teachers on board with tech-enhanced lessons are all obstacles. Future studies should aim to improve the system, confirm its efficacy, and encourage its implementation across educational institutions. Finally, there is great potential for improving higher education with an AI-based training and teaching system with strong data processing skills. Students and teachers may reap the advantages of a technologically enhanced, ever-changing learning environment.

Comparison of the experience of using digital games in mathematics education in Ukraine and Israel

Abstract The study examined the opinion of school students regarding the expediency and possibilities of using digital mathematical games in the process of teaching mathematics, and also carried out a comparative analysis of the results of the research conducted in Ukraine and Israel. The issue of the distribution of digital mathematical games in Ukraine and Israel was studied, and it was found out which digital mathematical games are the most popular in the process of teaching mathematics to students in schools in these countries. It was found that the vast majority of students from these countries played digital mathematical games. In the study of students’ interest in playing digital mathematical games, the questions were whether students played digital mathematical games, whether their mathematics teachers used digital mathematical games in mathematics lessons, whether students would like to use digital mathematical games when learning mathematics at school. Also, most students responded that their teachers used digital math games in math lessons and would like their teachers to continue using them. However, despite a relatively high percentage of students who are interested in using digital math games in math lessons, there are students who consider traditional math lessons to be more appropriate. It was established that there is a statistically significant difference between the results of a survey of schoolchildren in Ukraine and Israel regarding the expediency of using mathematical digital games in teaching mathematics: with a probability of 95% more surveyed schoolchildren in Ukraine (9.6%) are supporters of traditional teaching of mathematics (without the use of digital games), compared to 2.4% of surveyed schoolchildren in Israel. The statistical significance of the differences in the answers of students of the schools of these countries was checked using the ϕ*-Fisher criterion. As a result of the research, it was found that the interest of schoolchildren of both countries in the use of digital mathematical games in the learning process is growing. Almost half of the respondents in these countries expressed the opinion that they would be interested in learning more about digital math games and trying to play them. However, there remain a number of unresolved important issues related to the methodology of this process, including didactic ones.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ВІРТУАЛЬНОЇ ЛАБОРАТОРІЇ LABSTER ДЛЯ ВИВЧЕННЯ ХІМІЇ В ТЕХНІЧНОМУ УНІВЕРСИТЕТІ

Immersive virtual labs represent a digital paradigm in education that meets the needs and preferences of today’s students. The main advantage is the ability to conduct laboratory and practical work in the physical absence of educational equipment or the inability to use it, which is especially important in the context of martial law restrictions in Ukraine. The article analyzes the experience of using the Labster web platform, which provides virtual laboratory simulations of natural sciences. The virtual laboratory was used in the educational process of Lutsk National Technical University when teaching chemical disciplines in the autumn semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. The virtual simulation tasks "Introduction to Groups of the Periodic Table" were offered to students as an alternative option for extracurricular independent work. 146 1st year students were registered, of which 99 (67.8%) completed the test, and 47 (32.2 %) partially passed it. The results of the surveys are presented, the first was conducted immediately after work, the second was a questionnaire on the comprehensibility of the content and the perception of the usefulness of Labster modeling – about three weeks after the completion of the Labster simulation. Based on the analysis of the answers of students, the main advantages of using a virtual laboratory are established - gaining new educational experience, improving the knowledge and digital skills of students. Virtual simulations increased students' engagement and confidence. The advantage of working in a virtual laboratory is personalized learning. The main obstacles to using Labster are highlighted: low level of English proficiency (Labster does not involve the use of Ukrainian content) and insufficient digital skills to navigate in the virtual space. It is recommended to use virtual simulations not as a substitute for classroom practical exercises, but as a modern tool to supplement them.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ONLINE AND OFFLINE METHODSTEACHING CHEMISTRY IN A MEDICAL SCHOOL

Higher medical education has never been distant or implemented online. The years of pandemic have changed the situation. Online lessons become more common even in medical schools. Our purpose was to find out the advantages and disadvantages of online and offline studying methods from students' points of view. We had a unique opportunity to compare online and offline education through the eyes of students who studied in their first year online for the first half of the semester, and offline for the second half of the semester. These students could compare the pros and cons of these learning formats when studying chemistry. The survey was designed to collect information to compare the online teaching and offline teaching of chemistry for medical students. Since different teaching and learning methods were compared by the same people, the contribution of subjectivity in the comparison was reduced. The results of questionnaire answers of students from Kazakhstan were analyzed and compared with other studies' results made all around the world. In this research, the authors believe that feedback from students can help develop and use more accessible and modern ways of teaching as well as ways to improve the quality of education for medical students.

LLM-based automatic short answer grading in undergraduate medical education

BackgroundMultiple choice questions are heavily used in medical education assessments, but rely on recognition instead of knowledge recall. However, grading open questions is a time-intensive task for teachers. Automatic short answer grading (ASAG) has tried to fill this gap, and with the recent advent of Large Language Models (LLM), this branch has seen a new momentum.MethodsWe graded 2288 student answers from 12 undergraduate medical education courses in 3 languages using GPT-4 and Gemini 1.0 Pro.ResultsGPT-4 proposed significantly lower grades than the human evaluator, but reached low rates of false positives. The grades of Gemini 1.0 Pro were not significantly different from the teachers’. Both LLMs reached a moderate agreement with human grades, and a high precision for GPT-4 among answers considered fully correct. A consistent grading behavior could be determined for high-quality keys. A weak correlation was found wrt. the length or language of student answers. There is a risk of bias if the LLM knows the human grade a priori.ConclusionsLLM-based ASAG applied to medical education still requires human oversight, but time can be spared on the edge cases, allowing teachers to focus on the middle ones. For Bachelor-level medical education questions, the training knowledge of LLMs seems to be sufficient, fine-tuning is thus not necessary.

Strengths and weaknesses of automated scoring of free-text student answers

AbstractFree-text tasks, where students need to write a short answer to a specific question, serve as a well-established method for assessing learner knowledge. To address the high cost of manually scoring these tasks, automated scoring models can be used. Such models come in various types, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Comparing these models helps in selecting the most suitable one for a given problem. Depending on the assessment context, this decision can be driven by ethical or legal considerations. When implemented successfully, a scoring model has the potential to substantially reduce costs and enhance the reliability of the scoring process. This article compares the different categories of scoring models across a set of crucial criteria that have immediate relevance to model employment in practice.

This research uses descriptive research with a qualitative approach. This research design uses case studies of data collection techniques interviews with sources, observation of learning activities, and photo documentation of activities which are then carried out triangulation data validity. The results of the research obtained by the researcher that the teacher has applied the card sort strategy in Civics learning with material related to elements in the indicators of togetherness. So that by presenting the results of student answers in turn and providing mutual feedback, students can increase their self-confidence. The obstacles to the application of this strategy are the lack of time allocation, students do not understand the direction of the teacher, the lack of conducive learning space and there is still individualism, less efficient discussion time, lack of social attitudes in students so that they look indifferent. Solutions that can be done based on these obstacles are that the teacher ensures that the learning instructions reach the students by going around the group in turn, giving a warning to students who do not participate in the discussion, the teacher reminds the rules and attitudes of the correct discussion.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices related to tooth morphology among dental students and dental technician students

Objectives: Students are introduced to the morphological features of primary and permanent human dentition in a dental anatomy course, which is a part of the basic core sciences program in the Department of Dentistry and Dental Prosthesis Technology. The purpose of this study was to compare dental students' (DSs’) and dental technician students' (DTSs’) knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to dental morphology. Materials and Methods: Using a 26-item self-administered questionnaire, the DSs and DTSs participated in a descriptive cross-sectional study. Three components made up the questionnaire: four items for demographic profile, ten items for dental morphology knowledge level, seven items for attitude toward tooth morphology, and five items for practice in tooth morphology. There were 274 student answers in all. The data were analyzed using an independent t test and one-way ANOVA. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance for each test. Results: Between DSs and DTSs, there was a statistically significant difference in their knowledge and practices of tooth morphology (p< .001). However, DTSs knowledge of dental morphology was significantly greater, and DSs practice scores were significantly greater. There was no significant difference in the attitude of tooth morphology between the two groups (p=0.379). Both groups had low levels of dental morphology knowledge, with an average of 3.86 correct answers for DTSs and an average of 3.16 correct answers for DSs. In the DSs group, first-year students had a greater knowledge level (4.22±1.63 correct answers) than did the other students. Conclusions: Knowing the variations in dental morphology knowledge, attitudes, and practices between a dentist and dental technician may help us take preventative measures. While preclinical dentistry students and dental technician students had different levels of expertise, both groups were less knowledgeable about tooth morphology. Both groups had similarly high attitudes toward tooth morphology.

Middle School Students’ Proportional Reasoning Ability in Solving Proportional and Non-proportional Problem

The objective of this descriptive qualitative study is to describe students' proportional reasoning ability in solving each type of proportional problem, namely missing-value problem, numerical comparison problem, and qualitative comparison problem. A non-proportional problem was also included in this study to assess students' ability in one of the indicators used to measure proportional reasoning ability. The instrument used in this study consists of mathematical word problems on the proportion concept. The participants involved nine eighth-grade students, who were chosen from a total of 49 eighth-grade students at a school in Bandung City. These students were selected using a technique known as purposive sampling, by looking at the answers of students who best represent the answers of other students. The gathered data were analyzed using content analysis and narrative analysis techniques. According to the results, students appeared to have difficulty solving proportional problems of all types using proportional reasoning. Students are still struggling with distinguishing between proportional and non-proportional situations, as well as direct and inverse proportions. Furthermore, students often encounter difficulties when attempting to solve numerical comparison and qualitative comparison problems. This might be a consequence of students' lack of experience in solving these types of problems. Another tendency is the use of the cross-multiplication algorithm in solving missing-value problems without knowing the purpose of using the algorithm.

Data analysis techniques using the Miles and Huberman model are: 1) data reduction; 2) data display; and 3) concluding drawing. The results show that G2 and G4 have complete interpretation skills, whereas G1 and G3 have interpreting skills that only generate and clarify ideas.

DETERMINATION OF SATISFACTION OF STUDENTS OF III-VI COURSES PURCHASE OF PRACTICE AT THE CLINICAL BASES OF DEPARTMENT I IN THE UNIVERSITY CLINIC OF NMU NAMED AFTER O. O. BOHOMOLTSA

Background. Every year in the developed countries of the world, more and more attention is paid to the analysis of patient satisfaction with medical institutions, the list of offered medical services and the quality of their provision. However, an equally important aspect of improving the system of medical institutions should be considered to be the study of the level of satisfaction of medical students with taking practical classes on the basis of health care institutions. Such a judgment is based on the fact that students of medical educational institutions are future employees of the system of health care institutions and it is they who will have to work on improving this system in the future. Aim: to find out the degree of quality of educational services provided by students of the III-VI courses of the National Medical University named after O. O. Bogomolets by determining the level of satisfaction of education seekers regarding the acquisition of knowledge and the development of practical skills at the clinical bases of the departments and at the University Clinic of NMU. Materials and methods. The study was based on a survey of students of the III-VI courses regarding the completion of practical classes at the clinical bases of the departments and at the University Clinic of the National Medical University named after O. O. Bogomolets. The purpose of the survey was to establish the level of satisfaction of education seekers with the acquired knowledge and developed practical skills. The methods of the conducted research, in addition to questionnaires, were comparison, specification, and systematic analysis. Results. 444 respondents took part in the survey - students of the III-VI courses in the specialties "Medicine", "Medicine", "Pediatrics", "Dentistry" of the first-third medical and dental faculties. At the first stage, attention was focused on comparing the number of people in groups when working with medical equipment during practical classes at the clinical bases of the departments and the University Clinic. As a result of the comparison, no statistically significant difference was found in the number of people in the groups when working with medical equipment during practical classes at the clinical bases of the departments and at the University Clinic (p=0.941 according to the T-Wilcoxon test). The second and third stages mainly concerned the analysis of evaluation of the University Clinic. At the second stage, attempts were made to reveal the relationship between the number of people in groups while working with medical equipment during practical classes at the University Clinic and their grades. The third stage of research revealed the difference in the results of the answers of students of the III-IV and V-VI courses. Conclusion. Almost all respondents provided answers to 13 questions of the questionnaire, only a small percentage of respondents did not provide answers to the last 2 questions. The numerical indicators of the answers showed a big difference between positive and negative feedback about the general impressions of the internship at the University Clinic (Questions I-III of the questionnaire). As a result of the comparison between the work with medical equipment at the clinical bases of the departments and at the University Clinic, no statistically significant difference in the number of people in the groups was found (p=0.941 according to the T-Wilcoxon test). Students and 6th year students were recognized as the most active in the positive evaluation of the level of satisfaction with the internship. In general, almost all comments and suggestions of respondents of all courses and specialties pointed to the need to increase practical classes and practical hours of working with medical equipment.

This study intends to ascertain the potential, issues, and requirements for learning English for marketing majors at vocational schools. It also seeks to evaluate the feasibility of the Busworld website, which was created as an alternate medium for this research. English communication abilities must be improved by vocational students. Issues that arise with marketing majors at vocational schools show that the same materials are still used in both general education and vocational education. A notable example of technology use in this study is the technology-based learning medium, which took the shape of a website centered around telecommunications. The Sugiyono Model is the model that is adapted for this research, which employs the Research and Development (R&D) technique. Finding Potential, Problems, and Data Analysis, Design Validation, Product Design, Product Testing, Product Revision, Final Product, and Publication are the steps that have been modified. The SMK Pemuda 1 Kesamben, SMK PGRI 2 Sutojayan, and SMKN 1 Kademangan served as the research's field sites. This study's data is quantitative in the form of teacher and student answers and product validation results, and qualitative in the form of observations, interviews, and documentation. The study's findings suggest that using the Busworld website as an alternate medium can help marketing students expand their vocabulary related to business. The results of the media validation and material validation, which were completed by three experts each, and which yielded a score of 98%, indicating high validity, serve as evidence for this. Additionally, 88.5% of the replies from thirty marketing students and three teachers were included in the results of the teacher and student surveys. In summary, the Busworld website, which offers resources such as 100 lists of verbs, 100 lists of nouns, 50 business abbreviations, and 50 conversations with business themes, is a valuable tool for improving the business vocabulary proficiency of marketing students at vocational schools.

Automated Answersheet Evaluation using BERT

The research introduces an innovative approach to automating answersheet evaluation. The methodology combines the power of BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and cosine similarity within the realm of natural language inference, allowing for a sophisticated analysis of student responses. BERT’s contextual embeddings provide a deep understanding of the semantic nuances present in answers, while cosine similarity serves as a robust metric for measuring the semantic alignment between student responses and ideal answers. Natural language inference enriches the model’s capacity to decipher inferential relationships, enabling a more nuanced eval- uation that goes beyond surface-level language comprehension. Augmented by natural language inference, our model adeptly captures inferential relationships, enhancing its comprehension of nuanced contextual nuances. The results underscore its potential to redefine automated grading paradigms, offering educators a powerful tool for efficient and unbiased assessments of student answers, thereby contributing to the advancement of educational technology and assessment methodologies.
