Prediction Models with Machine Learning Against Student Success in Online Learning

The learning system during the Covid-19 pandemic was carried out online, online learning had a negative impact and a positive impact. The impact given can affect the success of student learning. The success of learning is the main thing that must be achieved by students. From the success of learning, it can be seen that the online learning process is going well or not. To determine the success rate of online learning, testing is carried out by applying a neural network algorithm. Neural network algorithms are used because they can solve complex problems related to prediction. This research is expected to help lecturers or campus parties to create better online learning. In this study using student grade data for Academic Year 2018/2019 and Academic Year 2019/2020, data testing using Rapidminer software and operator cross validation. In testing the Academic Year 2018/2019 and Academic Year 2019/2020 value data using 700 training cycles, 0.4 momentum, 0.2 learning rate and hidden layer 2. The level of accuracy obtained in the 2018/2019 student grade data is 95, 55% and Academic Year 2019/2020 which is 93.17%. From the test results, it was found that the accuracy rate of Academic Year 2018/2019 is higher than Academic Year 2019/2020, so the success rate in Academic Year 2018/2019 before the pandemic is better than the success rate in Academic Year 2019/2020 after the pandemic.

Multi-scale virtual field experience: sedimentology and stratigraphy of Grand Ledge, Michigan, USA

Abstract. Field experiences are a critical component of undergraduate geoscience education; however, traditional onsite field experiences are not always practical due to accessibility, and the popularity of alternative modes of learning in higher education is increasing. One way to support student access to field experiences is through virtual field trips, implemented either independently or in conjunction with in-person field trips. We created a virtual field trip (VFT) to Grand Ledge, a regionally important suite of sedimentary outcrops in central lower Michigan, USA. This VFT undertakes all stages of a field project, from question development and detailed observation through data collection to interpretation. The VFT was implemented in undergraduate sedimentation and stratigraphy courses at two different liberal arts institutions, with one version of the VFT conducted in-person and the other online. The VFT was presented from a locally hosted website and distributed through an online learning platform. Students completed a series of activities using field data in the form of outcrop photos, virtual 3D models of outcrops and hand samples, and photos of thin sections. Student products included annotated field notes, a stratigraphic column, a collaborative stratigraphic correlation, and a final written reflection. VFT assessment demonstrated that students successfully achieved the inquiry-oriented student learning outcomes, and student reflection responses provide anecdotal evidence that the field experience was comparable to field geology onsite. This VFT is an example of successful student learning in an upper-level sedimentation and stratigraphy course via virtual field experience with an emphasis on local geology.

PEMBELAJARAN LITERASI MELALUI PENDEKATAN SAINTIFIK DALAM MATA PELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA HINDU DI SEKOLAH DASAR

<p>The school literacy movement was developed based on nine priority agendas (Nawacita) which aimed to grow and develop the ability of reading and writing. Both of these abilities are contained in Indonesian language subjects. Indonesian Language subjects are a means of conveying knowledge. Through learning Indonesian especially reading and writing, students can master other subjects. Student learning success is greatly influenced by their ability to speak. The definition of literacy through the scientific approach in Indonesian language subjects is more directed at information skills. Information ability refers to several activities, namely observing, asking, trying, associating, and communicating. The process of observing includes seeking information, seeing, hearing, and listening. The questioning activity was carried out as one of the processes of building students' knowledge in the form of concepts in group discussions. Trying activities are useful to increase students' curiosity which includes planning, designing, and obtaining information. Associating activities can be done by analyzing and predicting, while communicating activities are a means to convey the results of conceptualization in oral or written form.</p>

Speech and Language Therapists’ Perspectives of an E-Learning Course on Providing Feedback in the Clinical Learning Environment

Background: A fundamental component of supervising a student speech and language therapist (SLT) on placement is the provision of feedback. There are numerous identified challenges to ensure the delivery of high-quality feedback to optimise student learning and student success. Supervisors can help overcome these challenges and engage in evidence-based feedback processes if they are supported to develop the necessary knowledge and skills. E-learning is one possible means to provide this professional development to a large number of practising SLTs who are geographically dispersed and have conflicting schedules. Aims: This study aimed to capture and evaluate the perspectives of SLTs who completed an e-learning course on providing feedback in the clinical learning environment, including the suitability and effectiveness of the e-learning tool used. Methods and Procedures: An innovative e-learning course was designed to provide asynchronous video and interactive content on evidence-based theories and practices for effective feedback processes. Clinical scenarios relevant to the discipline of speech and language therapy were included. Participants were invited to complete optional, anonymous pre- and post-evaluation surveys. Data were analysed quantitively (descriptive and inferential statistics) and qualitatively (thematic analysis). Outcomes and Results: Participants indicated that the e-learning course supported them to enhance their feedback processes in the clinical learning environment through identified changes to their practices. The increases in confidence providing feedback they reported were statistically significant. In addition, the e-learning course was rated highly on numerous variables related to quality. Recommendations for adaptations and additions were also highlighted. Conclusions and Implications: An e-learning course on effective and evidence-based feedback processes provides an opportunity to provide professional development to a large number of geographically dispersed practitioners in a cost-effective and flexible way. This could ensure more SLTs are confident and competent in their role as supervisor of students, which requires distinct knowledge and skills from that of a practitioner. Ultimately, this will help maximise educator and student success in the feedback process and consequently improve clinical performance and healthcare delivery.

The Effect of Block Class Scheduling on the Achievements of Primary School Students in Nature and Biology Classes

The objective of this study was to investigate whether the class scheduling of Nature and Biology classes in blocks results in better learning success for primary school students, and whether this depends on the average student success rate (i.e., student performance categories), age, or prior knowledge. For this study, we have assumed that block scheduling results in better success rates for older lower-performing primary-school students. The research included 773 fifth- to eighth-grade students from 14 Croatian primary schools. The students fell into two groups: one group attending 45-min Nature and Biology lessons twice a week (single-scheduled classes), and another group attending a 90-min lesson once a week (block-scheduled class). To assess the level of student learning success, all students underwent both an initial and final written exam in Nature and/or Biology, specific to each grade. The rmANOVA proved that there was a significant interaction among class scheduling, performance categories, and the initial and final written exam scores of fifth- and seventh-grade students. Such a correlation was not found among the sixth- and eighth-grade students. Our findings further indicate that students achieve better results in block-scheduled classes at the end of primary school education, and that block class scheduling does not necessarily result in improved student achievement, particularly in lower-performing students.

A Question of Support: Assessing a Composition Learning Community for Student Learning and academic success

Learning Communities (LCs) represent a high impact practice in higher education with marked benefits for all stakeholders. In general education composition courses, learning communities can provide key support for students. This paper provides an example of a mixed-methods assessment design, and its consequent revision due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, investigating whether and how a composition learning community supports student learning and academic success. Comparing LC and non-LC courses, as well as online and in-person courses, the results of this study find significant increases in academic success for students in face-to-face (or in-person) LC courses, and no significant increases for students in online LC courses. Engaging in a robust assessment cycle provided the key evidence both for areas where our composition learning community is succeeding in its goals, as well as important areas for improvement, particularly in the current era of increasingly turning to online educational modes.

Moreover, there were differences in two characteristics, there were a number of rules and stated positively.

Analysis of training success within the framework of the problems of pedagogical psychology

Today, for the majority of students at universities, study takes place in a distance format. The reason for the transition to a new format of education was the outbreak of coronavirus infection in 2020. The distance learning format at the initial stage was associated with a lot of difficulties. This is an incomplete provision of educational institutions with modern technical means, the dominance of stereotypes of the traditional format of education, as well as a complete or partial lack of experience in working online. However, these problems were gradually resolved and the learning process improved. The purpose of this article is an at- tempt to conduct a psychological analysis of empirical data on the success of student learning in the online format, namely: to consider the dynamics of changes in the indicators of learning success, as well as to compare the effectiveness of the educational process in distance and traditional formats. The value of the article lies in the collected information, on the basis of which it is possible to trace the change in the situation of student success, the positive and negative aspects of each of the learning formats, taking into account the data considered, build a more effective blended learning format. These articles were obtained on the basis of an analysis of literary sources and the results of a questionnaire sur- vey of bachelors, undergraduates and professors of technical specialties. The results of the study showed the current situation of education in a higher educational institution - Satbayev University - after a year of distance learning. Key words: pedagogical psychology, learning success, traditional learning, distance learning, tech- nical student, tertiary education, potential, COVID-19.

Cognitive and Sociocultural Perspectives: Approaches and Implications for Learning, Teaching and Assessment

The primary role of educators is to best serve and support students’ learning. To this end, the epistemological beliefs they hold are immensely influential, governing (both explicitly and implicitly) educators’ assumptions about how students learn, which determines the curriculum design and instructional methods utilized to support that learning. Over the years, two prominent and influential epistemological theories have developed – the cognitive perspective, which focuses on learners’ mental processes, and the sociocultural perspective, which focuses on learners’ participation in social practices within a particular context – with each providing their own unique contributions to the field of education. Using the example of the learning goal of students’ mastery of English for passing the TOEFL, the purpose of this paper is to explore how these two perspectives view knowing and learning, and the implications of this for motivating engagement and assessing learning. By drawing on and utilizing a synthesis of the cognitive and sociocultural perspectives, educators can align their learning outcomes with the most pedagogically-appropriate approach possible, to best support overall student learning and academic success.

Learning concentration is one of the important thing in student learning success. Concentration is needed to understand the material delivered by the teacher. One factor that supports concentrate is breakfast. Although it’s often ignored or underestimated, but actually it the main support of the brain to improve concentration of learning. Skipping breakfast can cause lethargy, weakness, dizziness and drowsiness. It causes a decrease or difficulty in concentrating during school learning activities. So breakfast is needed because it can improve concentration of learning.

Metaphors of Academics in Turkey for Distance Education

Metaphors are important ways to show how people perceive the world and life around them. By creating metaphors, people show how they position themselves life, and that of other people, their environment, and situations in their minds and what the phenomenon, for which they create a metaphor, means to them in today's world. This has been affected by COVID-19, as conducting education on a distance basis has revealed the need to examine the perceptions of people about distance education. The perceptions of academicians about distance education are also highly important, as they directly affect the learning success and performance of students. In this study, metaphors were addressed in order to determine the perceptions of academicians in Turkey about distance education. In this study, metaphors were collected from 520 academicians working at different universities. The metaphors created by the academicians about distance education were subjected to content analysis and the data were analyzed. As a result of the study, it was determined that the academicians created positive, negative, and neutral metaphors about distance education; however, they mostly used negative metaphors.

Professional development – factor of professional success

The training of a specialist at a university is predetermined by the quality of the educational process, which is caused by the development trends of the entire education system in accordance with globalization and integration into the world educational space. Professional success largely depends on the success of training, which forms the readiness of students to achieve professional success. Success is represented by an integrative assessment of the totality of student characteristics (result) and external psychological and pedagogical characteristics (learning process), which affect the process and result of the formation of professionally significant competencies. Significant external conditions are the quality of the educational process and the professionalism of the teacher; internal conditions personal characteristics of students. A group of students future information security specialists was taken as a sample for a study conducted at Samara National Research University. Employers are showing a demand for specialists focused on achieving professional success in the face of increasing information threats, illegal actions, and computer crime. The study confirmed the need for students to develop not only professional competencies, but also a set of properties for the successful solution of professional problems. The structure of readiness of an information security specialist for successful professional activity was determined by the researchers taking into account the specifics (multidisciplinarity) and features (a set of meaningful characteristics for achieving success) of professional activity. Readiness criteria are as follows: professional and social orientation, ethical consciousness, acmeological orientation. The results of a comprehensive study conducted at the Samara National Research University confirm the dependence of the quality of the educational process on the readiness of teachers to organize the conditions for successful student learning.

Hubungan Penggunaan Media Visual dengan Prestasi Belajar Siswa Mata Pelajaran PAI


 
 
 The problem to be answered in this paper is the relationship between the use of visual media and the learning achievement of PAI students at SDN Kedung Waringin 02, Bojong Gede Bogor. The writing uses descriptive quantitative research in the correlation approach (correlational research). Correlation research is research conducted to find out whether there is a relationship and if there is, how close the relationship is and whether or not the relationship is meaningful. The main purpose of this research is to find out how much the implementation of the relationship between the use of visual media and student learning outcomes in PAI subjects. The writing concludes that the rxy is 0.291, the figure is in the range of 0.20 – 0.39. This means that the X variable to the Y variable has a low or weak positive correlation. The coefficient of determination (determination) is 8.46%. This shows that the relationship between the use of learning media and student learning outcomes with KD 8.46%, while the remaining KD of 91.54% student learning outcomes are influenced by other factors such as the home or family environment and the community environment or living situation, and other factors not analyzed. tcount < ttable, then Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, then Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected because tcount (840) > ttable (1.970). From the calculation results above, it can be seen that ttcount is smaller than ttable, meaning Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, so the hypothesis that the author proposes cannot be accepted. Based on these findings, it is recommended that teachers not only improve teacher performance, the process of implementing teaching in the classroom also plays an important role for the success of student learning. Teachers are required to present material that makes students active. teachers can master, understand and try to be skilled and creative in conducting questions and answers with students, to relevant agencies as education providers there are conducive facilities and infrastructure so that the teaching and learning process will take place well and effectively.
 

Interactive teaching methods as a means of successful student learning activity

Interactive teaching methods are the alternative of educational activity in modern changes of socio-economic life of the country during a global pandemic. There is a gradual departure from traditional teaching methods, associated with the rapid development of various technologies that can be used in the educational process. The aim of the article is to study the efficiency of using interactive teaching methods of schoolchildren at the lessons of geography in 6-7 classes. Main material. Interactive methods are aimed at developing skills of independent processing of new information, abilities and skills that help in adapting to complex, fleeting and unexpected situations. Today, there are many diverse accessible sources of knowledge, which provide new opportunities for learning. Thus, these teaching methods allow us to work out conditions for successful learning, assimilation of information, positive emotions, motivation for educational activities, formation of group, team- work skills, directions of schoolchildren’s activities. It is established that mastering of geography knowledge by students is more effective during the solution to problem searching situations. Thus, such approaches to learning can be the basis of interactive technologies that make learning accessible, successful and interesting. The student community acquires the most valuable skills: the ability to overcome difficulties, analyze them and look for ways to further implementation. The analysis of the pedagogical experiment allowed us to establish the advantages and disadvantages of using different interactive teaching methods. The advantages include active learning activities of students, encouraging them to understand and use information, developing creative opportunities, further practical activities, the disadvantages - the technical feasibility of implementing these methods into the educational process, low computer and information literacy of the participants. Conclusions. Interactive teaching methods are aimed at the formation of a high level of knowledge, self-study and selforganization of educational activities. The most convenient and used are multimedia teaching methods, the use of project technologies, debate, peer review and discussion.
