Enhance Student Learning

The primary motivation for integrating any form of education technology into a particular course or curriculum should always be to enhance student learning. However, it can be difficult to determine which technologies will be the most appropriate and effective teaching tools. Through the alignment of technology-enhanced learning experiences with a clear set of learning objectives, teaching becomes more efficient and effective and learning is truly enhanced. In this article, I describe how I have made extensive use of technology in two neuroscience courses that differ in structure and content. Course websites function as resource centers and provide a forum for student interaction. PowerPoint presentations enhance formal lectures and provide an organized outline of presented material. Some lectures are also supplemented with interactive CD-ROMs, used in the presentation of difficult physiological concepts. In addition, a computer-based physiological recording system is used in laboratory sessions, improving the hands-on experience of group learning while reinforcing the concepts of the research method. Although technology can provide powerful teaching tools, the enhancement of the learning environment is still dependent on the instructor. It is the skill and enthusiasm of the instructor that determines whether technology will be used effectively.

The Impact

Learning materials in  two-dimentional figure in class II at MI Sunan Giri Merjosari Malang there are several problems namely students tend to be passive and the learning atmosphere is less pleasant because the teacher is more dominant using the lecture method so that the impact on student learning outcomes is less than the specified KKM 75 amounting to 60% of the 20 overall total students. One of the ways to improve the quality of student learning is to apply learning methods that later learning objectives can also be maximally achieved. Very diverse learning methods adapted to the material and objectives to be achieved include talking stick method including one of the learning methods carried out with the help of a stick and in turn will be held by students and who hold the mandatory answer questions from the teacher. Learning with the talking stick method is very suitable to be applied in elementary, because it can train students cognitive and psychomotor abilities, besides that the learning atmosphere is also fun and active students. This talking stick method is very appropriate to be used in the development of students' minds-on and hands-on. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of the talking stick method and the improvement of the minds-on and hands-on abilities of students in the Flat Build Class II MI Sunan Giri Merjosari Lamongan after using the talking stick method. Researchers conducted using a qualitative approach to the type of classroom action research (CAR). Analysis of the data used is descriptive qualitative techniques. The sequence of research activities includes 4 stages including: (1) Planning, (2) Implementation, (3) Observation, and (4) Reflection. The results of the study obtained the results of the assessment of learning outcomes of the two-dimentional figure material both cycle I and cycle II of Minds-on ability in cycle I amounted to 82.25 compared to the value of Minds-on in cycle II amounted to 85.5 an increase of 3.25. Likewise with the Hans-On ability assessment there was also an increase between Cycle I an average value of 75.45 and a second cycle of 80.95 an increase of 5.5. Based on the results of the analysis of the research data it can be concluded that the use of the talking stick method can improve the minds-on and hands-on abilities of thematic learning in Class II theme 4 Flat Build Material and its properties in MI Sunan Giri Merjosari Malang and its implementation can run effectively and efficient.

The University

<p>The opportunity to take part in the local County Court hearings of repossession cases arose around 3 years ago, the same time as I joined the University of Northumbria as a solicitor/ tutor working in the Student Law Office. I wanted to keep up my own hands-on skills as a solicitor, and so grasped this opportunity with enthusiasm. It has been an invaluable teaching tool as part of student’s experiences within the student law office, but only recently have I stopped to take stock of the nature and value of this experience, and to consider more carefully the aims and objectives, from the Student Law Office point of view, in taking part in this.</p><p>This paper looks at experiences with students at court repossession days, and the messages we are giving students when we expose them to this type of work – are we moving closer towards clinical legal education with a social justice agenda? And what do we get out of these court days as a student learning experience. </p>

Performance Perceptions

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted pharmacy education and caused significant transformation in student learning and assessment. Pharmacy PA faculty transformed the traditional PA teaching and practicum to virtual utilising Zoom. PA practicum consists of demonstration of a set of short videos, followed by students identifying incorrect techniques, describing the correct technique, and the purpose of the specific PA skill. After completion of the virtual PA practicum examination, students were invited to complete a 20-item survey about their perceptions. Most students preferred blended learning (56.8%) format over in-class, even though students performed significantly better on the traditional practicum (0.89+0.13) rather than the virtual (0.84+0.11). Hands-on skills are an integral part to PA instruction and learning, making innovations in virtual delivery and assessment vital for student success. This pandemic gave opportunities to explore curricular innovations as our virtual formats provided alternative approaches to review and summative assessment of PA.

The teaching and learning process in the laboratory is different from theory classes. The students get better knowledge and understanding of the concept when they perform experiments in the laboratory. The hands-on practice will help the students to remember the concept. However, the lack of facilities and limitations in the laboratory infrastructure may affect the student learning process. In India, few technical institutions lack adequate laboratory facilities, and hence, the government of India has started a new initiative called the virtual laboratory to overcome this issue. The Government of India provided funding to the premier institutions in India to establish virtual laboratory facilities to help the institutions which do not have sophisticated laboratory facilities. The advancement in IT and internet facilities helps this initiative. In this chapter, basics of virtual laboratories, different types of virtual laboratories, impact of virtual laboratories in students learning process, opportunities, and limitations of the virtual laboratories were discussed.
