Abstract

The digital revolution had transformed human life in many ways, including the way people learn. It affected students who are very dependent on mobile devices, social media, and mobile applications. These transformations demanded teachers to also transform. Teachers needed to embrace the technology and integrate it into their learning strategies. The Department of Medical Education of the Faculty of Medicine of Universitas Hasanuddin (FMUH) received a grant for a community service project from the faculty. This study describes training aimed at equipping high school teachers with the capability of using several mobile applications, including Google Forms, Quizizz, and Anki flashcards. The FMUH yearly intake was almost 300 students per year which were mostly high school fresh graduates in Indonesia. As the teachers of our future students, we considered the need for technology use in promoting teachers’ competence. Therefore, as our community service project, we held a one-day training for high school teachers which focused on the use of various mobile applications in formative assessment. At the end of our training, we elicited our participants’ evaluation using a Likert-scale questionnaire and open-ended questions. The responses were analyzed using statistical and descriptive analysis. This training involved 79 teachers and the evaluation form was filled out by 55 participants. The analysis showed that all respondents agreed that the training was able to increase their competence in using mobile applications for formative assessment. They pointed out the importance of this training in increasing the quality of education. This training was considered very useful in increasing high school teachers’ competence in formative assessment as well as in digital learning. This type of training was proposed to be frequently conducted.

Abstract

Since its first emergence in China, the global spread of COVID-19 had reached 269.721.683 cases in over 200 countries in December 2021. The rapid spread of this virus had urged WHO and governments to establish policies on physical distancing. Restriction of offline learning activities in Indonesia forced the educational institution to rapidly adapt. As consequence, we had to change all learning and assessment processes into online forms. We found many challenges in the implementation, particularly in the assessment processes. Therefore, in consideration of Cognitive Load Theory, we decided to intervene in these problems by implementing multiple assessment strategies in Musculoskeletal System Course, for 2020 batch students. We compared the results of the 2020 cohort with the results of the 2019 cohort in the Musculoskeletal System using the Mann-Whitney test (SPSS version 24). There were 256 students (2020 cohort) who participated in this System in comparison to 318 students (2019 cohort). Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the outcomes of the 2020 cohort that experienced multiple assessments before final examination in comparison to 2019 cohort who only experienced single-end examination (p value <0.000). Mean outcomes of 2020 cohort (334.34) where significantly higher compared to 2019 cohort (240.96). Our study had shown that students’ outcome during online learning due to COVID-19 pandemic can be improved by chunking the volume of learning materials into several parts. This method was in line with Cognitive Load Theory and gave possibility for students to organize their learning as well as to get multiple feedback for their improvement.
