A Theoretical Framework to Study Conceptual Understanding and Earthquake Readiness Among School Students at Ranau, Sabah

School students are a group that is very vulnerable to the risk of earthquake disasters in schools. Hence, a clearer understanding of the concept of earthquakes and readiness for earthquakes is a key element that needs to be given special attention by teachers in educating students. This scenario has prompted various studies to be conducted to evaluate and identify methods and strategies to improve understanding of concepts and earthquake preparedness to students. This is to help reduce risk and build disaster resilience among students. Therefore, the integration of the use of robots in the game learning module is able to help students in understanding the important concepts of earthquakes and the readiness that need to be taken when facing this disaster. This is due to the potential of the inclusion of robots in the teaching and learning process of games to boost student intrinsic motivation, enhance their critical thinking, problem-solving, and metacognition skills, and make it simpler for them to understand difficult concepts. To ensure that the teaching and learning process of the robot game module is perfectly implemented and meets the learning objectives, it is crucial to choose the appropriate theory. This article suggests a theoretical framework based on inclusive review of literatures to explore conceptual understanding of earthquake and earthquake preparedness among school students at Ranau, Sabah.

Development and use of a Playful Learning Observation Tool (PLOT) for Active Game-based Learning in Physical Classroom Situations

This study presents the development and implementation of a qualitative observation tool for in-class observation of courses employing game-based learning (GBL), and playful learning situations. The design of the observation model exploits a literature review of classroom observation models, of cognitive psychology motivation scales, and of GBL evaluation models. It integrates relevant elements from these domains to offer an observation model for GBL implementation. In this model, in-class observations are coded and analysed for GBL effectiveness and potential to support intrinsic motivation in students. The model was then used in two courses using different forms of GBL (one digital cooperative multiplayer game, one analog board game). Observations were coded using NVivo and distributed according to type of motivation and type of motivated learning tasks. Due to Covid19 restrictions and the difficulties of finding in-person classes, only two courses were examined using the model. The model appeared efficient in both observational situations, and the coding confirmed previous studies to the potential of GBL to sustain students’ intrinsic motivation. The observations also showed that preparedness of students to the specific contents of the game reduced risk of amotivation and disengagement in students. The study allows us to reflect on best practices for GBL implementation and evaluation and how better understanding of in-class interactions during playful learning could enable educators and teachers to make better informed choices to implementing GBL. While there are many templates for classroom observation and GBL evaluation, there is a lack of dedicated observation models, that offer clear guidelines for qualitative data gathering in live, in-person classroom situations. This study aims at providing a specific tool to that purpose.

Using Google Classroom to Increase Students Motivation to Learn English at SMP Negeri 1 Limboto Gorontalo

Teachers experiences might restrict their utilization of technology in the classroom, making learning challenging. Teachers must improve learning performance and motivation to overcome learning obstacles, especially when online learning has supplanted traditional teaching method following Covid-19. Therefore, online learning models should be implemented as a new learning style. This research aims to examine this topic, namely the use of Google Classroom to enhance English learning achievement and motivation. The investigation was qualitative and case-based which include observing and documenting the behaviors of students at SMP Negeri 1 Limboto, Gorontalo, Indonesia, in particular eighth-grade students who learn using Google Classroom. The data will be collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings of this research indicated that the use of Google Classroom increases the intrinsic motivation of students, since all of the assessment indicators are over 60 percent. Therefore, this finding indicated that students prefer to learn English by integrating techonology – in this case Google Classroom. This findings then lead to another finding, in which the integrating of Google Classroom during teaching and learning English may increase students learning performance. In this way, online learning has a positive effect on students learning motivations. By the findings of this research, it has also been confirmed that there is a very closed connection between the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of the students, which is in line with the theories provided (Gonzalez-DeHass, Willems, & Holbein, 2005; Yuan, Wu, Hu, & Lin, 2019)

Student Intrinsic Motivation for Online Creative Idea Generation: Mediating Effects of Student Online Learning Engagement and Moderating Effects of Teacher Emotional Support.

The online creativity generation research is a new field of creativity research. However, very little is known about the specific psychological processes of online idea generation. Against this background, this study explored the correlation between student intrinsic motivation and online creativity and possible mechanisms that may lie within this relationship. A sample of 423 Chinese students from three public universities participated in this study by completing measurements of intrinsic motivation, online learning engagement, creativity, and perceived teacher emotional support. The results indicated that student online learning engagement partially mediates the positive association between student intrinsic motivation and their online creativity. Teacher emotional support moderates the positive relationship between student intrinsic motivation and online learning engagement. Our findings suggested that student online creativity benefited from their intrinsic motivation in an online environment. The limitations of this study were also discussed.

Animettes: A design-oriented investigation into the properties of tangible toolkits that support children’s collaboration-in-making activities

Open-ended tangible technology toolkits provide unique ways to engage students, yet there remains a need for the development of tools to better support students’ collaborative practices in creative problem-solving. This paper presents a study that was conducted over two years, investigating how properties of such toolkits can be better designed to support students’ collaboration. In the final stage of this study we deployed Animettes: novel, configurable puppets that integrate with microcontrollers and sensors, enabling students to develop characters and spontaneously story-build. We analyzed students’ collaborative interactions, in an after-school technology club using six analytic heuristics: autonomy, role-sharing, planning, novelty, group achievement and explanatory questioning. We found that the combination of the open-endedness of Animettes and the interactive possibilities of the microcontrollers encourage young learners to tackle shared problem spaces through story-building, doing so in ways that develop their possibilities for collaboration. Animettes leveraged students’ natural abilities to tell stories through a character-building platform; this provided intrinsic motivation for students to persist in working through problems encountered with the technology. We found such toolkits supported collaboration through the following properties: (a) configurable, open-ended structures that prompt shared problem spaces; (b) form elements that can be stylized​ to be appropriated by students; (c) separate but interconnected tasks that enable students to take ownership and role share. We discuss further possibilities for technology toolkits to develop symbiotic relationships between humanities, language, and technology curricular areas.

Effective Learning View: Intrinsic V Extrinsic Motivation

From perspective of cognitive psychology, the central question is how to enhance and maintain student's intrinsic motivation for learning and achievement. Bruner (1962) has been suggested the most important ways to help students think and learn is to free them from the control of rewards and punishments. By learning what to do to get rewards and by doing just what the teacher wants, students can become overachievers, but will fail to develop the capacity to transform their learning into flexible, useful cognitive structures. They may memorize well, but they will not develop their capacity to think creativity. For discovering something rather than learning, they will be a tendency to work with the autonomy of self-reward, and be rewarded by discovery itself.

Identifying Student Motivation in Learning Islamic Education in Senior High School

In general, the reality that with a Senior High School ll number of teachers and a large number of students is that it is unlikely that teachers will be able to provide maximum motivation to students. A large number of students, not comparable to the number of teachers, will usually have difficulty nurturing students with maximum motivation. The aim of this research is to look at students' intrinsic motivation, students' extrinsic motivation, supporting and inhibiting factors in learning Islamic religious education. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods. The data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation with data analysis through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions and verification. The results of this research were obtained: i) the intrinsic motivation of students at Senior High School 2 Payakumbuh in learning Islamic religious education was obtained through the appreciation given by the teacher and the students' sense of responsibility. This award is motivation for students to develop and progress further in their learning process, ii) extrinsic motivation for Senior High School 2 Payakumbuh students is obtained from the motivation provided by teachers, principals, and all the environment in the school. Adequate infrastructure is one of the motivations for student learning in achieving goals, iii) supporting factors in increasing student learning motivation in learning Islamic religious education, namely students are given Islamic religious learning guidance, in the form of congregational prayers, tahfiz, reading the koran and delivering learning material. The inhibiting factor in increasing students' learning motivation in learning Islamic religious education is the lack of Islamic religious education lesson hours at school. Apart from the lack of teaching hours for Islamic religious education teachers, students who study religion are less aware of the importance of studying Islam. The results of this research can be used as initial data for future researchers in studying this problem in different contexts and issues.

Mental health and self-determination profiles of the diverse population of medical students in Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic

IntroductionMedical schools throughout the world were forced to modify their programming during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Malaysia, virtual learning plans were implemented for non-clinical programming, while clinical posting modifications were designed to meet local SOPs. The prolonged enforcement of these modifications to undergraduate medical education will have affected student experiences, including well-being. Since these feelings can relate to perceived relatedness, autonomy, and competence, it is important to identify any potential factors that may lead to reduced intrinsic motivation in students. It is also important to consider how demographic features may contribute to student perspectives, which can be studied using the unique diversity represented by Malaysian students.MethodsA quantitative survey was distributed to Malaysian medical students to assess their overall wellbeing, autonomy in educational decision making, student experiences, and position on changes to graduation timing. Intrinsic components were identified using Principal Component Analysis and were aligned with the three needs for self-determination, namely relatedness, autonomy, and competence. Finally, trends in responses for participants from various sub-populations were assessed using ANOVA testing.ResultsResponses were collected from 442 students representing 23 accredited Malaysian medical schools. Upon validation and reliability testing, eight components were identified with themes relating to: mental health, social concerns, communication, timing of modifications, depth of learning, and student-centred learning. Of these, gender was related to mental health, student-centred learning, and delayed graduation, while stage was related to student-centred learning and delayed graduation in addition to concerns about depth of learning and timing of modifications. Interestingly, ethnicity was related to differences in opinions about delayed graduation and income was related to social concerns.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that, while students were satisfied in general with the content and delivery of their programmes given the circumstances, there is evidence to suggest negative effects on emotional wellbeing and expression of student voice, due to the modifications that were made. Additionally, these feelings related to the three motivational needs, suggesting that students were experiencing a dampened motivational profile during the pandemic. Further, motivational profiles were distinct between student sub-groups, providing insight for developing appropriate and inclusive accommodations moving forward.

The Role of Physical Activity, Enjoyment of Physical Activity, and School Performance in Learning Motivation among High School Students in Hungary.

The goal of this study was to analyze the role of physical activity, enjoyment of physical activity, and school performance in the dimensions of learning motivation (Cognitive Domain, Affective Domain, Moral Domain, Adult Pressure). A total of 249 high school students were involved in this study, ranging in age from 14 to 19 years old. A self-administered questionnaire was filled out by the participants, including questions about sociodemographic background and school performance. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess physical activity. Learning motivation was measured by the School Motivation Inventory. The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale was used to determine the enjoyment of physical activity. Path analyses were chosen as a statistical method to understand the associations between the variables. Our findings reveal that learning motivation was associated with school performance and enjoyment of physical activity. Physical activity did not show any direct relationship with learning motivation, but it was positively associated with school performance and enjoyment of physical activity, hence showing an indirect relationship with learning motivation. Another important finding was the role of physical activity enjoyment. It has a preventive role concerning pressure from adults since such enjoyment strengthens the intrinsic motivation of students. We believe our findings highlight the benefits of physical activity and enjoyment of physical activity in learning environments.

PERSONAL VALUES OF FUTURE DOCTORS.

The aim: To analyse the value priorities of first-year medical students and outline areas of educational work to develop a system of professional values of future doctors who are able to work in circumstances of challenges of the time, as well as military conflicts. Materials and methods: The method of questionnaires involving the students of Ternopil National Medical University from Ukraine and India was used, as well as the method of content analysis of students' creative work. At the final stage of the study, essays written by Ukrainian first-year students on the day of the beginning of the war in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 were analysed. Results: The desire to help people was the motive to enter a medical university for the majority of both Ukrainian and international students. Besides, Ukrainians identified civic values that are important in wartime: unity, national consciousness, struggle. In their opinion, the first day of the war determined the splash of anti-values: panic, fear, confusion. However, a similar study conducted ten days after the start of the war showed increase of confidence in victory, the levelling of negative emotions among Ukrainians. Therefore, the issue of the dynamics of values in wartime should be studied more. Conclusions: Institutions of higher medical education should maintain a high intrinsic motivation of students in their altruistic striving to serve people, and improve the adaptation of first-year students, especially international ones. In wartime, it is necessary to intensify the educational work regarding ethical and spiritual development for strengthening the psychological well-being of students.

Faculty perspectives of small group teaching experience in medical school in Tamil Nadu.

BACKGROUND:The small group teaching (SGT) is gaining popularity in medical education since it improves the student's thinking capacity and aids knowledge retention. Several studies have been conducted to analyze students' attitudes regarding SGT. Faculty, on the other hand, have mixed perception about SGT methodology. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to explore medical faculties' perceptions of SGT effectiveness in the medical curriculum.MATERIALS AND METHODS:A cross-sectional, descriptive survey was conducted among 50 medical college teachers. We have developed set of 12 questionnaires to assess the perception of teachers on SGT methods. Content validation of the survey questionnaire was done by Lawshe method, and Cronbach's alpha was calculated for estimating the internal consistency. Teacher's perception responses were presented as proportion and percentage. We performed principal component analysis, structural equation modelling, Chi-squared test (χ2/df), goodness-of-fit index (GFI), adjusted GFI, comparative fit index, and root mean square error of approximation.RESULTS:The validation resulted in the 12 items model indicated superior goodness of fit for sample data. All the extracted factors had good internal consistency of >0.9. Majority of the teachers strongly agreed that the SGT method enhances the student intrinsic motivation (n = 42, 84%), self-confidence (n = 40, 80%) self-directed learning (n = 35, 70%), and student teacher interaction (n = 38, 76%).CONCLUSION:Teaching faculties' perception reflected that SGT is an effective method to impart knowledge to the students and also helps in improving their understanding of their subject. It helps in developing intrinsic motivation to do self-learning in the students. It also helps in developing good peer interaction and improves the communication skills.

The role of online learning environment on the students' basic psychological needs satisfaction during the Covid-19 pandemic

The transition of learning systems during pandemic is one of the factor causing the inability to fulfill psychological basic needs satisfaction that are oriented on the low level of student self-determination such as self-regulation, self-confidence and responsibility. The focus of study in this article to explain the role ofonline learning process towardstudents’ autonomy, competence and relatedness satisfaction based on the perspective of cognitive evaluation theory. This theory is used to find out how the online learning environment can facilitate and support students’ basic psychological needs satisfaction and the intrinsic motivation level influenced by exsternal, interpersonal and intrapersonal factors. The method in this article used narrative literature review. Through a literature review, researcher can determine what factors can build student self-determination in online learning process. The findings showed social context and teacher facilitating in online learning environment play important in encouraging and maintain students intrinsic motivation to fulfill the level of students’ autonomy, competence and relatedness satisfaction in doing online learning activity.

Based on the results of the t-test, the results obtained are t-count 8.384 > t-table 1.975, which means that there is an influence of the Distance Learning Environment variable on Intrinsic Motivation in learning in students of the Social Sciences Education study program. This is reinforced by the acquisition of the coefficient of determination test results of 31.3%.

Enhance Volunteering Education Through Overseas Volunteer Service

This study aimed to determine how the learning stimulation and intrinsic motivation of students affect their culture sharing in volunteering via general altruism and intention. Stratified random sampling was used, and 850 invitation questionnaires were sent to participants, of whom 264 returned valid questionnaires (return rate, 31.06%), which were analyzed with the partial least squares method. It was found that students’ intrinsic motivation for overseas volunteering increases their understanding of global issues. Thus, schools or organizations should develop a mechanism for volunteering students to interact with others within a professional virtual community in order to enhance their volunteering experience and inspire their continuous learning from overseas volunteering.

The Effects of Online Organic Chemistry Laboratory Videos on Students’ Perceptions and Intrinsic Motivation

The purpose of this exploratory study is to investigate students’ use and perceptions of online videos and intrinsic motivation toward the online videos in an organic chemistry laboratory course, which used online videos to assist students’ preparation and learning in the lab. Students’ responses to an anonymous survey showed that they watched the online videos one or more times based on their available time. Descriptive statistics showed that students had positive perceptions about the effect of online videos in terms of their preparation of labs, understanding the concepts, doing hands-on activities, and other aspects in the lab, which were consistent with their written comments. 44% of students showed positive intrinsic motivation toward the online videos according to items based on self-determination theory. Correlation results showed that the effect subscales were strongly related to each other, and students’ intrinsic motivation was significantly and positively related to students’ perceived effect of the online videos on their understanding and preparation with medium to large effect sizes. Inferential tests showed that students who had a positive perception of intrinsic motivation scored significantly higher on the understanding subscale with a medium to large effect size. The findings in this study suggest the online organic chemistry laboratory videos have significant potential to improve students learning and it is important to stimulate student intrinsic motivation toward the online videos which will help students benefits more from the effects of the online videos.

The Integration of Prelaboratory Assignments within Neuroanatomy Augment Academic Performance, Increase Engagement, and Enhance Intrinsic Motivation in Students.

The study of neuroanatomy imposes a significant cognitive load on students since it includes huge factual information and therefore demands diverse learning strategies. In addition, a significant amount of teaching is carried out through human brain demonstrations, due to limited opportunities for cadaveric dissection. However, reports suggest that students often attend these demonstrations with limited preparation, which detrimentally impacts their learning. In the context of student learning, greater levels of engagement and intrinsic motivation (IM) are associated with better academic performance. However, the maintenance of engagement and the IM of students in neuroanatomy is often challenging for educators. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the role of prelaboratory assignments (PLAs) in the improvement of academic performance, augmentation of engagement, and enhancement of IM in occupational therapy students enrolled in a human neuroanatomy course. One cohort of students in the course was expected to complete PLAs prior to each brain demonstration session. The PLAs contained a list of structures, and students were expected to write a brief anatomical description of each structure. Another cohort of students who were not provided with similar PLAs constituted the control group. Students who completed PLAs had a higher score on the final examinations as compared to students who were not required to complete PLAs. These students also demonstrated greater engagement and IM, and indicated that they perceived PLAs to be valuable in the learning of neuroanatomy. Therefore, PLAs represent a useful teaching tool in the neuroanatomy curriculum.

The impact of parents' home‐ and school‐based involvement on adolescents' intrinsic motivation and anxiety in math

AbstractParents experience difficulty helping their children with math at home. Math teachers can provide guidance or materials to parents. Little is known about whether this help from math teachers has benefits for parental support at home and thus contributes to students' academic development in math. The current study examines longitudinal associations between parents' perceived support from math teachers, parental academic support at home (reported from parents and students), and changes in students' intrinsic motivation and anxiety in math. Data stem from ninth and tenth graders (Mage = 14.49, SD = 0.93, 13 public schools, 56.5% girls) and their parents (N = 157 parent–child dyads). The latent structural equation model demonstrated no association between parents' perceived support from math teachers and their academic support at home. Parents' reported academic support at home was cross‐sectionally and positively related to students' perceived parental academic support at home and students' intrinsic motivation. In addition, students' perceived parental academic support at home was associated with positive change in students' intrinsic motivation over the academic year. Furthermore, higher student intrinsic motivation leads to a decrease in their anxiety in math over the academic year.

The Effect of a Socio-Scientific Context-Based Science Teaching Program on Motivational Aspects of the Learning Environment

This paper reports about the effect of an innovative, context-based science teaching and learning program on student intrinsic motivation. The intervention aimed at promoting Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE) in close collaboration with teachers throughout the academic year by developing and implementing socio-scientific, context-based, innovative, three-stage modules. The Motivational Learning Environment (MoLE) model and questionnaire was used to measure the impact of context-based science modules on the motivation of sixth to eleventh graders at secondary schools in Georgia. Students’ wish- to reality-differences data were analyzed concerning the seven dimensions of the Motivational Learning Environment model. As a result of a one-year training program we observed statistically significant differences in two dimensions for the treatment classes (compared to the control classes) in pre- and post-test results. The study suggests more education systems should consider context-based, socio-scientific science teaching as a leading approach to enhance students’ motivation and interest in science education.

Motivasi Mahasiswa Tahfidz dalam Mengikuti Sima’an Al-Qur’an di IAIN Ponorogo

Sima'an Al-Qur'an is mutual listening and listening to the readings between two or more people, if one person reads then the other listens. This activity is very useful for one's memorization, before attending sima'an, one will prepare juz-juz to be read by adding hours for muraja'ah. Like the Sima'an Al-Qur'an activity which is held at the Ulin-Nuha Mosque every Kliwon Friday by IAIN Ponorogo students. The formulation of the research problem is, how are the students' intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation in participating in Sima'an Al-Qur'an activities at the Ulin-Nuha Mosque, State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Ponorogo? To answer this question, the researcher uses a qualitative approach (case study), using analytical methods through reduction, display and conclusion. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews and documentation, while the researcher was the key instrument. From the results of this study it was found that: (a) Intrinsic motivation of students to follow Sima'an Al-Qur'an every Kliwon Friday at the Ulin-Nuha mosque IAIN Ponorogo because it is to improve academic achievement related to Al-based courses al-Quran and the quality of memorization that is their duty as a memorizer of the Koran. (b) Extrinsic motivation is the encouragement from family and colleagues related to the ability to maintain memorization, the process of academic competition and the existence of learning scholarships.

Bernard Bolzano’s philosophical conception of education from a modern standpoint

Aim. The aim of the article is to analyse Bernard Bolzano’s philosophico-educational approach, given the importance of his pedagogical legacy for further progress in the field of education and training. Methods. The research uses methods of historico-philosophical reconstruction (to determine the foundations and features of Bolzano’s pedagogico-philosophical work), interpretation (to characterise the still relevant ideas of the thinker in the field of education) and critical analysis (to assess the significance of Bolzano’s legacy from the standpoint of modern educational theory and to point out what remained out of the researchers’ attention). Results. The study showed that Bolzano’s pedagogical ideas were not only in demand in the context of European culture of the early XIX century, but also proved relevant today, especially given the need for harmonious personal development, finding sources of intrinsic motivation in students and improving their logical thinking skills, the importance of the spiritual qualities of the teacher and – in general – the assistance of the state in the direction of the progress of education as the most effective means of qualitative change in society. Conclusion. Bernardo Bolzano’s philosophical conception of education was strongly influenced by religion, the ideas of the late Enlightenment and the late Josefinist. This conception was an integral part of his socio-political theory. Bolzano attached great importance to the study of philosophy and the acquisition of logical skills in education. He considered writing textbooks to be one of the cornerstones of the educational process. This made it possible to intensify communication between teachers and students, to gradually involve everyone in education, and thus to promote social progress in general.
