Depth Interview

This study aims at analyzing the violation of the maxim of quantity produced by undergraduate students in research seminar and the reason why they violate this kind of maxim. The researchers applied qualitative research design by using observation and in-depth interview. Four undergraduate students were the participants of this research recruiting using purposive random sampling. The results show that most of the participants violated the maxim of quantity by doing circumlocution (not to the point), providing more explanation, and talking too much. They considered that it was valuable for them to provide more information than needed to obtain the attention of the examiners. They assume that the more they speak the good outcome for their research seminar will be accomplished because having more explanation means they master their research content well.

Insight Into

Due to the growing importance of globalization, the English language has acquired an even more influential role, and at the tertiary educational level it has provoked the necessity of teaching not just general English, but also English for Specific Purposes (ESP), which meets the demands of students' field of study. Moreover, the preparation of undergraduate students for both entering the labour market or continuing their academic path has prioritized the significance of ESP. This paper aims to investigate how ESP teachers working in Estonian state-funded HEI with General English teaching background perceive their work in the field of ESP. Specifically, this abductive qualitative research seeks to obtain a deeper insight into the challenges posed by teaching ESP and to detect problematic issues to better support university teachers to improve their work. The results highlight three major challenges: coping with changes through the lenses of professionalism; insufficient collaboration, and instability in conducting ESP courses.

This article was prepared based on qualitative research, case studied with research subjects 36 undergraduate students of mathematics education study program FMIPA UNNES in elementary linear algebra. Intended to find out students’ problem solving abilities aspects of algebraic creative thinking and to describe connections between aspects of students creative thinking in solving problems. Aspects of creative thinking include: fluency, flexibility, novelty, and elaboration. Data obtained through tests, observations, and interviews. Based on the analysis of the test results, as many as 17 students reached the minimal criteria which is at least 61, and 15 students worth under 61. This indicates that many students had difficulty in solving problems of elementary linear algebra that contain aspects of creative thinking.

Abstract This research aimed to describe undergraduate students’ misconception about projectile motion after learning physics during the Covid-19 pandemic era. This research was qualitative research with a descriptive method. The subjects were 52 first-year undergraduate students who took physics courses. Data collecting methods used in this research were a test, questionnaires, and interviews. The test was taken from Physics by Giancoli with an additional question about certainty of response index (CRI). Data from the test were analyzed by categorizing it into lack of knowledge, knowledge of correct concepts, and misconception while open-ended questionnaires and interviews were used to help to clarify the condition. The test results indicated that 5.13% of students in lack knowledge, 28.85% the knowledge of correct concepts, and 66.02% in misconception. The questionnaire responses showed that students learned physics via online meeting with direct instruction model and ask-answer method, exercised with only applied problem (C3), and virtual practicum. The interviews showed that only a few of the students learned physics and responded to the lecturer during the online meeting. The results are that the majority of first-year undergraduate students are in misconception after learning physics during the Covid-19 pandemic era and need remedial learning about projectile motion.

Resumo: O objetivo é apresentar os caminhos metodológicos do projeto “Jovem e Consumo Midiático em Tempos de Convergência” durante os anos de 2015 a 2020. As experiências científicas perpassaram um processo evolutivo que foi iniciado com pesquisas anteriores até o momento desta, e envolveu pesquisadores (docentes e discentes de pós-graduação e graduação) da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) e da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA). A pesquisa teve inspiração etnográfica, seguindo a proposição de Angrosino (2009) e Flick (2009). Dentre os resultados, percebemos como esses jovens são bastante ativos nas mídias sociais, especialmente através dos dispositivos móveis, apesar da pequena cobertura dos serviços de telefonia; além da centralidade do Facebook e do WhatsApp para esse público ao consumir conteúdos imagéticos, audiovisuais e textuais, e fazer a interlocução nas suas redes sociais para troca de mensagens, e pelas performances adotadas em seus perfis.Palavras-chave: Metodologia; Etnografia; Pesquisa Qualitativa; Pesquisa Quantitativa. Methodological challenges of the research “youth and media consumption in times of convergence in “deep Brazil”Abstract: The purpose of the article is to present the methodological paths of the project “Youth and Media Consumption in Times of Convergence”, during the years 2015 to 2020. The scientific experiences have passed through an evolutionary process that started with previous research until the moment of this one, which involves researchers (teachers, graduate and undergraduate students) at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and Federal University of Pará (UFPA). The research had ethnographic inspiration, following the proposition of Angrosino (2009) and Flick (2009). Among the results, we see how these young people are very active on social media, especially through mobile devices, despite the small coverage of telephone services; in addition to the centrality of Facebook and WhatsApp for this audience by consuming imagery, audiovisual and textual content and making interlocution with their networks through messages and in the performances adopted in their created profiles.Keywords: Methodology; Ethnography; Qualitative Research; Quantitative Research.

Collaboration Strategies

Employers are seeking candidates with uniquely human, or “soft” skills to survive and thrive in their future careers. This article aims to illuminate the soft skills gap of STEM undergraduate students by understanding the soft skills that will be needed in the future of work and the soft skills that students are currently missing. These skills include teamwork, collaboration, leadership, problem-solving, critical thinking, work ethic, persistence, emotional intelligence, organizational skills, creativity, interpersonal communication, and conflict resolution. To address this soft skills gap, this paper also explores various collaboration strategies between employers and academic institutions, such as working jointly on curriculum, raising awareness, establishing leadership support, and building communities of success. These can be implemented to enhance the soft skills capabilities of STEM undergraduate students entering the workforce. This qualitative research examined STEM employers’ perceptions of the most essential soft skills needed and missing among recently hired STEM undergraduates. Findings identified the top ten most in-demand soft skills needed for the next five years with leadership and human-connection on the top of the list. Furthermore, the result of this inquiry indicates that the soft skill gap in current STEM undergraduates is not only evident, but it is steadily increasing. To address this problem, this paper suggests that an ongoing synergy is needed between employers and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to guide students in developing and acquiring these essential skills. This effort will hopefully improve student employability, increase employer outcomes, and ultimately reduce the nationwide soft skills gap. Also, it provides insights into soft skills that organizations and HEIs should invest in the years ahead.
