Abstract

This training aims to enhance the scientific article writing skills of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as teachers, through Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted training. The training was motivated by the difficulties often faced by novice writers in composing quality scientific articles. Fifteen participants attended a two-day training that covered material on the structure of scientific articles, writing techniques, and the use of AI in the writing process. The training methods employed were lectures, discussions, hands-on practice, and mentoring using AI platforms such as Gemini. The training results indicated a significant increase in participants' understanding of the structure and writing techniques of scientific articles. Moreover, participants provided positive feedback on the use of AI to assist in the writing process, such as in outlining, paraphrasing, and grammar correction. It can be concluded from this activity that AI-assisted training is effective in improving scientific article writing skills and has the potential to be an alternative solution for novice writers in producing quality writing.

Abstract

Gamification has emerged as a transformative pedagogical approach in science and technology education. This narrative review explores current implementation trends and educator perspectives by analyzing 28 selected articles published between 2016 and 2024. The study identifies key technological trends, including the integration of Virtual Reality (VR), game-based physics simulations, and Education 4.0 tools. The findings indicate that gamification significantly enhances student motivation, academic achievement, and engagement in complex scientific subjects. Furthermore, the review highlights educator perspectives, revealing that while teachers generally perceive gamification as a potent methodology, its adoption is often hindered by barriers such as limited digital self-efficacy, technical constraints, and the need for specialized training. The synthesis suggests that a successful gamified ecosystem requires a balance between immersive technology and robust pedagogical support. This review provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to integrate gamified strategies into STEM curricula to foster 21st-century skills.

Abstract

The application of social distancing by the government has a significant impact on learning activities in tertiary institutions. Colleges divert class meetings with online meetings in networking and home assignments. This study aims to describe the variation of models and platforms used in online learning for prospective teachers during the social distancing period. This research was conducted through a survey and focus group discussion (FGD) conducted online to obtain information about the implementation of learning, applications used, constraints during learning, how to deliver material, and the number of meetings held weekly. Survey data and FGDs obtained were analyzed descriptively. The survey results show that all lecturers carry out online learning during the COVID-19 prevention period. Most lecturers organize learning and discussion through social media applications such as WhatsApp. Submission of material is mostly done by sharing files through WhatsApp messages and other social media. The most common obstacle that arises during the implementation of online learning is the limited internet access by lecturers and student teacher candidates. Learning is carried out in both categories with an average number of online meetings twice a week according to the credits of each lecture.
