Experience Of Flow

Using a questionnaire applied in real time to students in stages 14–16 during a distance class, the authors appraise whether they experience feelings that lead to a central experience of flow, according to the flow theory of positive psychology. Students are exposed to a planned session that considers the moments of the training sequence and consciously integrates technological tools to support learning. A formal evaluation system, which includes formative and summative evaluations, determines if students build meaningful learning. This research contributes to understanding that an optimal learning experience characterized by the pedagogical principles of curiosity, concentration, challenge, and enjoyment, favor the construction of meaningful learning. Furthermore, the simplicity of the proposed experimental design suggests a direct way to replicate the study in later learning stages and assess the efficiency of new technology-based pedagogies within the distance education paradigm imposed by the 2020 pandemic crisis.

Problem Solving Skills

Teaching organic chemistry requires supporting learning strategies that meaningfully engage students with the challenging concepts and advanced problem-solving skills needed to be successful. Such meaningful learning experiences should encourage students to actively choose to incorporate new concepts into their existing knowledge frameworks by appealing to the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning. This study provides a qualitative analysis of students’ meaningful learning experiences after completing three Writing-to-Learn (WTL) assignments in an organic chemistry laboratory course. The assignments were designed to appeal to the three domains necessary for a meaningful learning experience, and this research seeks to understand if and how the WTL assignments promoted students’ meaningful learning. The primary data collected were the students’ responses to open-ended feedback surveys conducted after each assignment. These responses were qualitatively analyzed to identify themes across students’ experiences about their meaningful learning. The feedback survey analysis was triangulated with interviews conducted after each assignment. The results identify how the assignments connected to students’ existing knowledge from other courses and indicate that assignment components such as authentic contexts, clear expectations, and peer review supported students’ meaningful learning experiences. These results inform how assignment design can influence students’ learning experiences and suggest implications for how to support students’ meaningful learning of organic chemistry through writing.

The present study revisits the Factors Influencing Teaching Choice (FIT-Choice) framework and explores what motivates business management academicians in teaching virtually. The revisit is based on a quantitative cross-sectional research design using 256 responses collected from in-service business management academicians teaching post-graduate business courses in India, through a structured questionnaire. The exercise of revisiting the FIT-Choice framework in the context of virtual teaching in business management courses led us to find four new variables, that is, task demand and expert career, teaching efficacy, knowledge assimilation and institutional utility value, as well as suggest revising teaching and learning experience, task returns and values. The results reveal that some additional factors motivating business academicians are teaching efficacy, content expertise, learning of new technology, futuristic growth and opportunities, alternative career opportunities and personal branding. The study provides suggestions to the apex bodies, regulators of higher education and institutions to take a call on motivational and influential factors while drafting the job requirements in business schools. Finally, the study emphasizes the importance of infrastructural and technological development required to be achieved by higher education institutions.

Abstract Between 2000 and 2013, over 8,000 students studied the module Reading Classical Latin at the Open University, the United Kingdom’s largest distance education provider. But while many learners attained high grades, a significant proportion withdrew from study or failed the module. In 2015, the original module was replaced with a completely new course, Classical Latin: The Language of Ancient Rome. This article details the innovative ways in which new technology and pedagogical theory from Modern Foreign Language (MFL) learning were drawn on by the team designing this new module, resulting in a learning experience which gives greater emphasis to elements such as spoken Latin, the intrinsic pleasure of reading, and cultural context. The (largely positive) effects of these pedagogical changes on student success and satisfaction are subsequently analysed using a rich mix of qualitative and quantitative data. Finally, the authors reflect on lessons learned and the possibilities for future research and enhancement.

This qualitative evaluation explored how female undergraduate students developed an understanding of themselves and the broader world as a result of an adventure and service learning experience in Tanzania, Africa. The project built upon theoretical frameworks regarding meaningful learning—active, constructive, intentional, and authentic—and applied activity theory as a framework for interpreting outcomes. The study included multi-faceted examination of student perceptions of the effects of the year-long experience that culminated in a ten day trip to Tanzania, including a climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Students’ reflections on the impacts of the trip focused on wanting, doing, reflecting, and relating. Thus, the experience catalyzed change in students’ understanding of the world that strongly indicates a meaningful learning experience.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini berangkat dari masalah kurang optimalnya pemanfaatan media pembelajaran berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) sebagai upaya dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada mata pelajaran PAI. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan efektivitas pemanfaatan media pembelajaran berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada mata pelajaran PAI di SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya dan kendala yang dihadapi guru dalam mengefektifkan pemanfaatan media berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) pada mata pelajaran PAI. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas Pemanfaatan media pembelajaran berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada mata pelajaran PAI di SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya belum sepenuhnya berjalan efektif. Berdasarkan indikator pengukuran efektivitas Media Pembelajaran berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) menurut Smaldino bahwa dari kesemua indikator hanya 50 % yang efektif. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan temuan peneliti dilapangan membuktikan bahwa indikator pengukuran efektivitas Media berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) seperti ; keterlibatan siswa, ketepatan dalam pemilihan media, mampu membantu siswa memahami hal-hal yang bersifat abstrak, ketersediaan media, dapat memberikan pengalaman belajar yang berarti belum efektif. Adapun kendala dalam mengefektifkan Media pembelajaran berbasis TIK dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada mata PAI di SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya yaitu kendala yang berasal dari luar dikarenakan kurangnya ketersediaan media sehingga pemakaiannya terbatas serta listrik yang tiba-tiba mati. Kata kunci: Efektivitas, Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK), pemahaman siswa Abstract This study departed from the problem of less than optimal use of learning media based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an effort to improve students' understanding of Islamic Education subjects. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) -based learning media in increasing student understanding of Islamic education subjects at SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya and the obstacles faced by teachers in making effective use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) -based media in the eyes. PAI lessons. This type of research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The results showed that the effectiveness of the use of learning media based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in increasing students' understanding of Islamic Education subjects at SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya has not been fully effective. Based on indicators of measuring the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology-based Learning Media (ICT), according to Smaldino, of all indicators only 50% are effective. This is evidenced by the findings of researchers in the field proving that indicators of measuring the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology-based Media such as; student involvement, accuracy in selecting media, being able to help students understand abstract matters, the availability of media, can provide a meaningful learning experience that has not been effective. The constraints in making ICT-based learning media effective in improving students' understanding of the PAI eyes at SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya are constraints that come from outside due to the lack of availability of media so that their use is limited and the electricity suddenly goes out.

Instructional Design Principles

Abstract Research on instructional and learning design is ‘booming’ in Europe, although there has been a move from a focus on content and the way to present it in a formal educational context (i.e., instruction), to a focus on complex learning, learning environments including the workplace, and access to learner data available in these environments. We even see the term ‘learning experience design’ (Neelen and Kirschner 2020) to describe the field. Furthermore, there is an effort to empower teachers (and even students) as designers of learning (including environments and new pedagogies), and to support their reflection on their own practice as part of their professional development (Hansen and Wasson 2016; Luckin et al. 2016; Wasson et al. 2016). While instructional design is an often heard term in the United States and refers to “translating principles of learning and instruction into plans for instructional materials, activities, information resources, and evaluation” (Smith and Ragan 1999), Europe tends to lean more towards learning design as the key for providing efficient, effective, and enjoyable learning experiences. This is not a switch from an instructivist to a constructivist view nor from a teacher-centred to a student-centred paradigm. It is, rather, a different mind-set where the emphasis is on the goal (i.e., learning) rather than the approach (i.e., instruction). Designing learning opportunities in a technology enhanced world builds on theories of human learning and cognition, opportunities provided by technology, and principles of instructional design. New technology both expands and challenges some instructional design principles by opening up new opportunities for distance collaboration, intelligent tutoring and support, seamless and ubiquitous learning and assessment technologies, and tools for thinking and thought. In this article, the authors give an account of their own and other research related to instructional and learning design, highlight related European research, and point to future research directions.
