Student Engagement in an Online Class

The present study used descriptive research design to assess student engagement in an online class of a city college in Southern Philippines. It underscored the critical role of student engagement in shaping the various educational outcomes in an online learning environment. A sample of 239 college students were randomly selected to respond to a researcher-made questionnaire, which was pilot-tested and passed the test of validity and reliability. With at least two years’ experience of attending online classes that started during the COVID-19 era, the students’ Internet profile was characterized as having used cellphones and phone Internet to attend online classes and having spent more than 2 to 4 hours daily on the Internet for non-academic purposes. The findings of this study have further shown that the students are engaged in the cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains of online learning. Using the Kruskal-Wallis test for Likert-scale data, no significant difference was found in student engagement in an online class when grouped according to access to Internet, time use of Internet for non-academic purpose, and types of gadgets used. Based on these findings, the study has recommended the following: a) the use and mastery of teaching strategies that promote active listening, asking direct questions to the teachers, greater talking time of the students, and more interaction between teacher and students; and b) the use of breakout rooms in an online classroom for small group discussions and greater collaborative learning among students.

Do types of gadgets used for online learning have a bearing on student academic performance?

<span lang="EN-US">This paper explores the impacts of using smartphones vs laptops on students' academic achievement in their English courses and their satisfaction in learning English via open distance learning (ODL). Experiments were conducted in authentic teaching sessions with a total of 304 undergraduates from a local university. The methodology applied is a quasi-experimental design with post-test-only. Results indicate that the relationship between the grade obtained and level of satisfaction with gadget is low and not significant at 5% level of significance. However, there is a significant relationship between the level of satisfaction towards gadgets used for learning English courses and learning English via ODL classes since the p-value is significant with a correlation value of 0.455. Finally, there is a low correlation between the grade obtained and level of satisfaction in learning English during ODL classes. Future research should be conducted to further check on the effects of using mobile phones against other mobile devices on other subjects learnt in the universities.</span>

Introduction: Refractive errors cannot be prevented, but it is important to detect them early to improve the quality of life and prevention of blindness. Refractive errors screening in children during COVID pandemic was difficult task as they were high-risk group. Increased near activity due to online classes and smart devices usage may increase the uncorrected refractive errors. The study emphasizes on the refractive errors screening during COVID pandemic. Aim: To study the clinical profile of refractive errors of the children aged 5-15 years in a tertiary care hospital in COVID pandemic in association with screen time, outdoor activity, type of gadget, amblyopia and educational status of mother. Materials and methods:This was a hospital based prospective analytical study conducted in children 5-15 yrs attending the Ophthalmology Outpatient Department of ESIC Medical College and Hospital from May 2021 to October 2021.Children were screened for refractive errors and compared with the refractive errors data of different children of same age referred from Paediatric Outpatient Department and who attended to Ophthalmology Outpatient Department for regular eye checkup in pre-pandemic time. Unaided visual acuity of all children were measured with the help of Snellen’s chart. Children with refractive errors underwent Cycloplegic Retinoscopy followed by post-mydriatic test. Screen time and outdoor activity duration were recorded. Interpretation and analysis of obtained results was carried out using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0 for descriptive statistics. Non-parametric tests like Pearson Chi-square test were used to express the qualitative data.Data with p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 790 children were screened out of which 358 (45.3%) presented with refractive error when compared with the pre pandemic prevalence 276 (34.9%) out of 790 children screened, presented with the refractive error. A total of 118 (33%) of the children presented with increased blink rate associated with increased screen time and dry eye. Rate of progression of more than 1D was observed in 44 (12.29%) of which Myopia 28 (7.8%) Astigmatism 10 (2.7%) and hypermetropia 6 (1.6%) in 6 months. A total of 286 (79.8%) children presented with myopia and 24 (6.7%) presented with hypermetropia, 48 (13.4%) presented with astigmatism. A total of 258 (72.06%) presented with screen time for 4-7 hrs, and 32 (8.9%) children presented with amblyopia. Conclusion: Refractive errors increased due to smart classes in schools or use of laptops, television viewing, computers or mobiles. Hence, this reinforces the need to screen all the school going children and children with the history of gadgets use

Perceived Effectiveness of Online Teaching and Learning of Accounting during COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Influencing Factors

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, teaching and learning of accounting, especially in the developing world like Ghana, was mostly face-to-face rather than online. Amidst Covid-19, higher education institutions in developing countries abruptly switched from face-to-face to online learning. Mastering the theoretical and practical competencies of accounting at the higher education level requires deep learning. However, student interaction, engagement and practice are necessary factors for deep learning. Online learning however, may not provide authentic interaction and practice experiences as in face-to-face instruction. This paper examines students’ perception of the effectiveness of online mode of teaching and learning accounting during the school closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The aspects of online teaching and learning examined include content delivery, students’ interaction, and students’ engagement. Through survey approach, data was collected using questionnaire guides. It was found that students, in their opinion, are generally competent in basic computer and online skills, except in performing group task online. The students also inducted that access and quality of internet was not the best. Also, except for student engagement, students perceived online teaching, and learning of accounting as ineffective especially with regards to course interaction. The results indicates that gender, type of gadgets used as well as their interactions have no significant effect on students’ perception of the effectiveness of online teaching and learning of accounting. However, students’ perception of their computer and online communication skills, and access to quality internet have significant effect on students’ perception of effectiveness of learning accounting online. Therefore, to enhance the effectiveness of online mode of learning accounting in the future, stakeholders should prioritize students’ interaction, access to quality internet and students online learning competency.
