Abstract

The integration of gamification into online learning has garnered considerable attention in contemporary educational discourse. This article delves into teachers' perceptions regarding the implementation of this method. The background lies in the increasing utilization of technology in education and the potential of gamification to enhance student engagement and motivation. The objective is to explore teachers' viewpoints on the effectiveness, challenges, and benefits of this learning method. The research methodology involves surveys and interviews with a cohort of teachers who have utilized gamification in their online teaching practices. Findings reveal a spectrum of perceptions among teachers, including their understanding of gamification concepts, comfort levels in its application, and its influence on student engagement. The conclusion drawn highlights positive acceptance of gamification, alongside identified challenges such as time constraints and technical skills. The research contributes valuable insights for the development and implementation of gamification learning methods in the online education landscape.

Abstract

The transition to the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia, emphasizing student autonomy and flexible learning pathways, presents an opportunity to explore heutagogical approaches in enhancing autonomous student engagement. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of heutagogy in promoting self-determined learning among students within this curriculum framework. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys and interviews with students and educators, as well as classroom observations. The results indicated that students engaged in heutagogical practices exhibited higher levels of motivation, self-efficacy, and critical thinking skills, with 75 percent reporting increased confidence in managing their learning. Additionally, educators observed improved student participation and collaboration. The main conclusion is that heutagogical approaches significantly contribute to fostering autonomous learning environments, aligning with the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum. This research contributes to the educational field by providing empirical evidence supporting the implementation of heutagogy in national curricula, offering practical insights for educators and policymakers aiming to enhance student engagement and self-directed learning.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to develop learning facilities through Android-based mobile learning media that are suitable for use in educational science courses. With mobile learning, users can access learning content anywhere and at any time, without having to visit a certain place at a certain time. So, users can access educational content without being bound by space and time. This research is a development research that goes through several stages. The first stage is a preliminary study, carried out to determine the results of a needs analysis based on learning objectives, mass, and learning strategies in order to produce products that suit student needs. The second stage is design, namely designing product prototypes according to the results of the needs analysis. The third stage is product development. In this stage, Android media products are started to be developed. The fourth stage is to carry out a product feasibility test using a scale of 4. From the results of material expert validation, a score of 29 was obtained for the 8 aspects of the material tested with an average score of 3.6, which is very suitable for use. Meanwhile, from the results of the media expert validation test, a total score of 42 was obtained for the assessment of 12 media aspects with an average of 3.5 or very decent. The field test is testing the product with student respondents. The results of this study are prototypes of Android-based mobile learning media products that are suitable for use in education science courses.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots have emerged as tools with the potential to enrich the learning experience. This research aims to analyze the perceptions of professors and students regarding the utilization of AI chatbots in the context of higher education. The primary objective of this study is to comprehend how teachers and students view the use of AI chatbots in higher education. This research adopts a qualitative approach employing semi-structured interviews and content analysis of relevant written documents. Data are collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings of this research reveal that most respondents, both professors and students, hold a positive attitude toward using AI chatbots in higher education. The critical benefits acknowledged include accessibility, assistance answering questions, and enhanced learning efficiency. Some challenges related to data security and the quality of interaction with chatbots are also identified. This research demonstrates that AI chatbots have significant potential to enhance the learning experience in higher education. However, attention must be given to existing technical challenges and privacy concerns to ensure broader acceptance. This study provides valuable insights into the perceptions of professors and students regarding AI chatbots, which can serve as a guide for educational institutions in developing effective implementation strategies. Furthermore, these results may stimulate further research into the use of AI technology in higher education.
