Enriching life-long learning Skills of Students by Poster Development and Presentation (PDP) Approach

In recent years’ students are very reluctant to read books for studying for any course. They are preferring only teachers’ notes or PowerPoint slides and mobile apps for exam study. Any type of information or study material is easily available on various networking sites. This can lead to poor interest and less engagement of students in the classroom teaching learning process. Also, in class activities are not fulfilling the expected level of learning of students, especially in the conceptual courses. So students need an activity based learning approach in the classroom. Nowadays most of the teachers in engineering institutions face these challenges. Hence, to utilize the capabilities of students, make them aware of course related books and achieve expected level of learning of students, a poster presentation module was implemented. In this practice paper, implementation of poster development and presentation (PDP) to improve learning of course fluid mechanics and machineries is detailed. This PDP approach empowers the student in life-long learning skills. Keywords— Poster development and presentation, assessment, book reading, life-long learning.

Blockchain and IoT Technology Transformation in Indonesian Education

Every area of life has been touched by technology, and the education industry is no different. Recently, there have been seismic shifts. Teachers and students used a blackboard technique in the traditional classroom teaching-learning process. But this process' characteristics have changed during the last few years. Technology has snuck in and significantly improved it. On the one hand, whereas in conventional classrooms the players were the teachers, the students, and the books, in the modern classroom the players are the teachers, the students, robots, the e-books, the laptops, and the books. With the help of e-lectures and tutorials, the teaching-learning process can now transcend geographical borders in classrooms. For the process, a vast amount of information is easily available. Additionally, the current situation shows a change from "Teacher-centered" to "Student Centric". However, the focus of this article is on utilizing the applications of Blockchain and IoT in the sector and identifying the areas where they prove to be advantageous. Several technologies have been major actors in modernizing the education industry. To comprehend and determine how these technologies offer a solution to significant educational difficulties, a thorough literature review must be conducted. The teaching and learning process needs to be understood in light of a variety of factors, including changes to the participants, the process itself, the results that are produced, and others. It is also necessary to identify the related difficulties. A thorough examination of these enables us to draw the conclusion that they can revolutionize education for the better in the future. Blockchain, in particular, is still relatively new, but because of the advantages it offers, further study and adoption will undoubtedly alter the teaching-learning process.

Conceptualizing “classroom teaching-learning process” that engages students in Indian business school

PurposeCase-based classroom teaching-learning process (hereafter, case method) has provided a very productive teaching-learning environment for a long time. In the case method, students are expected to meet some prerequisites, such as reading and analyzing the case in advance, listening to the classroom discussion and actively participating in the discussion. However, it is frequently reported in Indian business schools that students do not prepare the assigned case before the scheduled class. The under-preparation of cases results in low-quality discussion, high absenteeism, passive attitude and lack of energy.Design/methodology/approachThis study modeled the case method using an IGEO (input-guide-enablers-output, commonly used in any process modeling) framework to identify challenges in the case-based classroom teaching-learning process. A novel customized classroom teaching-learning process called the EPDE (explain, practice, discuss, explore) method replaced the case method. These two teaching-learning processes were used for teaching two groups of MBA students.FindingsThe novel EPDE method effectively addressed the case method challenges. It resulted in better learning outcomes in the Indian B-school context.Originality/valueThe purpose of the study is to examine the impact of an alternative to the traditional case study method in a college classroom among MBA students. Two points make this study original and unique: (1) The IGOE process modeling framework is used to model teaching-learning processes, such as the case and EPDE methods. Using IGOE for teaching-learning processes is unique and is not available in the literature and (2) the EPDE method is a novel concept.

Exploring Intersubjective Interactions: A Sociocultural Analysis of Pedagogical Practices in a Digantar School

The paper makes two set of arguments, one, that creation of intersubjective spaces is central to children’s engagement in the classroom teaching–learning process and two and more importantly that creation of intersubjective spaces facilitates concept development in children. Using empirical data of the classroom teaching–learning processes in a Digantar school in rural Rajasthan, India, the study presents the components of intersubjective interactions that facilitate development of concepts in children. Intersubjectivity, here, is not conceptualised as a knowledge neutral, culture neutral or historicity neutral spaces but as knowledge laden spaces which provide the possibility for mutual alignment of participants’ motives. It has been argued that the multiple contact points and the nature of interaction between the teacher and learners in the school provide the possibility for investigation of the main components of intersubjective spaces in the classroom context. Negotiation of the object of activity, pedagogical interventions (such as exploratory questioning, teacher presenting herself as a non-expert, evoking classroom’s long-term trajectory), focus on epistemological underpinnings of the subject and teacher’s and children’s engagement with metaperspectives were found to be the main factors that contributed to the creation of intersubjective spaces.

The Code Switching in Teaching and Learning English Process for Health Information Management Students at Deli Husada Deli Tua Health Institute

Indonesia has a lot of culture and ethnic group, it is common occur when peoples are using two and more languages in their daily conversation. Deli Husada Deli Tua is a college that produces the best graduates in health field. In this institute, students always study English especially Health Information Management students. Most of the students come from different areas, cultures and tribes. According to them, English is one of the difficult subject especially speaking comprehension. This situation makes them to use code switching. It also occur in English language learning. The main topic of this research focuses on psycholinguistic in the classroom teaching-learning process of foreign language, in this case English. Psycholinguistic roles in this research are limited to the code-switching processes which performed by the English lecturer that was happened intentionally or unintentionally in process of teaching and learning English for Health Information Management students at Deli Husada Deli Tua Health Institute. The lecturer made a code switching when she introduced new information or instruction. The switching also might occur when she translated what she has just said and when she introduced the interaction particles at the beginning of their utterances. Research results showed that Bahasa Indonesia or national language was one address of having code-switching and it had important role in English language learning. Although the English class should be formally full of the use of the learned language, switching process to Bahasa Indonesia took place naturally and the use of Bahasa Indonesia had psychological roles in order to improve learning motivation and full understanding for students.

Neural network simulation for obstacle avoidance and wall follower robot as a helping tool for teaching-learning process in classroom

One of the most applied technologies is robotics, and one the most applied type of robots is a mobile robot. To provide a tool for the interactive teaching-learning process in the classroom, a simulation program is needed. Low price and easy to use software is preferable considering not every polytechnic can provide expensive simulation software for its students. Robotics related curriculum should include artificial intelligence since it is functioning as a brain to the robot. One type of artificial intelligences is neural networks. This study presents the application of neural networks by using low price simulation software. The simulation results show the feasibility of utilizing the software for the students to learn neural networks by variating the scenarios of mobile robots application, adding more robots, more sensors and writing the programs to control the robots. The contribution of this paper is to show and inspire teachers to create a more interactive teaching-learning process in the classroom by using low price, user-friendly software, and to encourage them to search more alternatives of low price or even free software to be the teaching tool in the classroom.

RESHAPING DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR PROMOTES WORK EFFICIENCY OF TEACHERS IN PUPILS’ PROCESSING ORGANISATIONS

In recent times, students of professional courses create many problems during the class hours and the freedom of teacher rights are curtailed. They could not work efficiently and effectively. Due to the above reason, teacher could not bring out any behaviour modification among the students. This short of behaviour hamper the classroom teaching-learning process and at the same time it may affect the behaviour of teachers inside the Classroom. Not only that, the teachers cannot perform their work effectively and efficiently. At present, most of the higher Educational Institutions are not properly following criteria for admitting the students, because they want to enroll students. In this juncture, students coming from different culture create unnecessary problems in the classroom and that may affect teachers teaching efficiency as well as academic development. The Disruptive behaviour and its causes and remedies must be discussed in the B.Ed curriculum. So that student teachers will come to know the nature of the behaviour and rectify the same among students and Teachers work efficiency will be used absolutely for students’s progress. Students will also come to know which one is Right behaviour and wrong behaviour. Through this process students will learn value based behaviour and create a congenial atmosphere in the class and Institution.

Teachers’ Use of Focus Questions in German Biology Classrooms: a Video-based Naturalistic Study

This study investigated the effects of teachers’ use of focus questions on students’ knowledge structures and classroom teaching-learning process by re-analyzing selected data from a quasi-experimental pre-post video study (Wadouh, 2007). Focus questions are content-related anchoring questions highlighting the key content taught in individual lessons (Forbes & Davis, 2010). In Wadouh’ study, students answered a knowledge test before and after the lesson on “blood and the circulatory system” and one lesson per teacher was videotaped to investigate teaching practices in grade 9 biology classrooms. Students also completed a post-unit concept mapping exercise and a motivation-interest questionnaire. In this study, 30 lesson videos selected from 47 were re-analyzed for teachers’ use of focus questions—no focus questions, non-specific or simple focus questions, and specific and challenging focus questions. Individual students’ scores in the concept mapping exercise were aggregated as students’ topic-related knowledge structure. Multilevel analyses revealed a significant positive effect of teachers’ use of specific and challenging focus questions on students’ topic-related knowledge structure. Furthermore, a comparative case analysis of the classroom teaching-learning process was conducted in four lessons where teachers used specific and challenging focus questions in two of the lessons and non-specific or simple focus questions in the other two lessons. The findings indicate that specific and challenging focus questions anchored lessons on students’ co-construction of scientific explanations by activating their pre-instructional ideas, whereas non-specific or simple focus questions anchored lessons on their accumulation of canonical scientific knowledge. This study’s limitations and implications for teacher education reform are discussed.
