Evaluating a Social-Emotional Training Program for Refugee Families and Service Providers: Pilot Study.

Refugee children are often exposed to adversities that present a threat to their healthy development. Promoting refugee children's social-emotional capacities may be an opportune, strengths-based avenue to nurture their resilience, coping strategies, and mental health outcomes amid these risks. Furthermore, supporting caregivers' and service providers' capacities to provide strengths-based care may result in more sustainable, caring environments for refugee children. However, culturally adapted initiatives that aim to promote social-emotional capacities and mental health in refugee children, caregivers, and service providers are limited. In this pilot study, we aimed to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a brief, 3-week social-emotional training program for refugee caregivers of children aged between 2 and 12 years and service providers who support refugees. This study had 3 central objectives. First, we examined whether refugee caregivers' and service providers' knowledge of core social-emotional concepts increased from pre- to posttraining, whether these increases were maintained 2 months later, and whether caregivers and service providers reported a high use of training-based strategies after the training. Second, we assessed if refugee caregivers reported any improvements in their children's social-emotional capacities and mental health from pre- to posttraining and 2 months later. Finally, we evaluated whether caregivers and service providers experienced any improvements in their own mental health symptoms from pre- to posttraining and 2 months later. A total of 50 Middle Eastern refugee caregivers of children (n=26) aged between 2 and 12 years and service providers (n=24) were recruited using convenience sampling and participated in a 3-week training program. Training sessions were delivered via a web-based learning management system and involved a combination of asynchronous (video-based) and synchronous (web-based live group) sessions. The training was evaluated using an uncontrolled pre-, post-, and 2-month follow-up design. Caregivers and service providers reported their understanding of social-emotional concepts and mental health at pre-, post-, and 2 months after training and reported their use of training strategies after training. Caregivers reported their children's social-emotional capacities and mental health through a presurvey, a series of postsurveys (after each module session and 1 week after the training), and a 2-month follow-up survey. The participants also reported their demographic information. Caregivers' and service providers' knowledge of social-emotional concepts increased significantly from pre- to posttraining, and the service providers' knowledge increase was sustained at the 2-month follow-up. Both caregivers and service providers reported high levels of strategy use. Furthermore, 2 markers of children's social-emotional development (ie, emotion regulation and sadness over wrongdoing) improved after training. The findings highlight the potential of strengths-based, culturally adapted social-emotional initiatives to support refugee caregivers' and service providers' abilities to provide high-quality social-emotional care to refugee children.

Implementation of an automated grading tool for phonetic transcription training

ABSTRACT Clinical phonetic transcription is regarded as a highly specialised skill requiring hours of practice for mastery. Although this skill is a critical part of students’ clinical preparation to become speech-language pathologists, students often report feeling unprepared to apply the skill in clinical practice. Previous studies suggest that increased opportunities for practice and timely feedback on transcriptions are needed in order to develop skill confidence. However, providing more opportunities for practice can be impeded by the limited resources to manage the grading of additional assignments. The purpose of this study is to show the implementation of a web-based learning management system (LMS) designed in our labs for phonetics instruction. The Automated Phonetic Transcription Grading Tool (APTgt LMS) was developed to provide a platform for assignment delivery and automated grading of transcription assignments. The APTgt LMS has three embedded IPA keyboards (basic, advanced, and full IPA) and an automated edit distance algorithm modified by phonetic alignment principles, which allows for individualised scoring and visual course-level feedback in an interactive online environment. For pilot testing, student confidence was queried before and after practice opportunities using APTgt. A concurrent mixed methods research design was used to analyse four Likert scale and three open-ended questions. Student confidence in transcribing disordered speech was found to significantly increase (p <0.001) following additional practice. Students reported concerns related to accurate transcription of disordered speech and that additional practice is still needed. Tools like APTgt can aid in facilitating student learning and increasing student confidence in applied transcription.

ISKOOL-71 is the personalized digital education and learning center of the education system. This platform proposes to combine instructors and students adequately allowing instructors to follow the growth of individual learners and better facilitate their learning.

A Theoretical Framework for the Adoption of Web-Based Learning Management Systems in Saudi Higher Educational Institution

This article describes the development of a theoretical framework for factors that influence adoption of web-based Learning Management Systems (LMS) in Saudi Higher Educational Institutions (SHEI). LMSs help such institutions manage the information required for planning and making informed decisions. LMSs also facilitate effective and efficient information management, allowing SHEI to improve their abilities in teaching and learning experience. However, higher learning institutions remain hesitant to adopt LMS projects. Such systems are relatively recent additions to educational institutions; thus, there are certain roadblocks to adoption. Thus, a framework is proposed to facilitate LMS adoption in SHEIs. The proposed framework considered 17 factors collected from relevant literature, with unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and technology-organisation-environment serving as the foundation. The proposed framework is expected to help SHEIs identify and comprehend the various individual, technological and environmental factors that must be considered when implementing an LMS.

The Analysis of a Learning Management System from a Design and Development Perspective

The use of information technology as a means of educating students has become a popular trend. For this purpose, a special type of content management system was used, called learning management systems (LMS) and course management systems (CMS). Often all of these platforms offer similar features and users cannot choose the one that best suits them. This article proposes an analysis of the usability and functionality of software in LMS frameworks. Based on the integration of parallel work on the same database, you can automatically synchronize and manage accounts, users, sessions, and distribute (session and user) easily. There is no need to manually enter data in two different systems. This increases the value of the learning management system used by improving time and accuracy. By first, reducing the time creating learning materials within the LMS. Second, the accuracy in creating the learning materials within the LMS. Third: Accuracy in distributing students and teachers to the course. Fourth, configure the class room inside the LMS that matches the CMS one hundred percent. It includes subjects, departments, faculties and users (students and teachers). The contribution of this paper provides a rich recent direction of software methodologies for web-based learning management systems from a design and development perspective.

Moderating effects of academic involvement in web-based learning management system success: A multigroup analysis

While several educational institutions in India, in accordance to global practices, have adopted Web-Based Learning Management Systems (WLMS) to supplement classroom courses, it is largely seen that these WLMSs fail in their objectives, leading to little or no return on investments. The study aims to define the factors that affect students’ acceptance of a web-based learning management system and test the moderating effect of their academic involvement in the success of a WLMS. 477 valid questionnaires were collected from university/college students to empirically test the research model using the structural equation modelling approach. The results concludes that indirect and direct effects account for 49% of the variation in the intention to use, which is explained by technical system quality, information quality, educational quality, service quality of the technical support team and user satisfaction. High academic involvement moderates the impact of different service qualities of the WLMS on user satisfaction, intention to use the system, and success of the WLMS. Based on the findings, theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

Adjusting to the New Normal: Exploring Alternative Learning Strategies for Devcom Students

People, having individual learning style preferences as well as capabilities and resources for learning, process information differently. Effectivity of the learning process or students’ academic performance is often affected by these factors. Students enrolled in higher education institutions today belong to a generation cohort whose learning and communication behavior is dependent on interactive technology and are not always comfortable with traditional information transfer. In addressing these problems, the study implemented action research on the use of Blended Learning (BL) approach, utilizing different modalities such as web-based learning management systems, recorded video lectures, games, and face-to-face lectures, to deliver selected Development Communication subjects for 2nd semester of A.Y. 2019-2020. The approach integrated synchronous traditional classroom meetings with asynchronous online activities/assessments which lets students learn at their own pace and choose what requirements they want to do first. Before the second half of the academic semester when the action research was implemented, the COVID-19 pandemic forced educational institutions in the Philippines to wrap up early. The objectives of the study were then modified to include determining alternative teaching and learning strategies for DevCom students given the “new normal”. Using the data from the BL approach, a Flexible Learning Strategy was formulated which categorized students based on their resources and capabilities for different learning modes.
