Abstract

Learning satisfaction is a crucial element that students must achieve, as it significantly affects the success of the learning process. This study aims to analyze the effect of students' perceptions of lecturers' pedagogic competence on their learning satisfaction. An online survey research design was employed. Over approximately two months, 154 students from the Islamic Education Study Program at a higher education institution in Jambi Province participated, completing scales measuring perceptions of lecturers' pedagogic competence and learning satisfaction. Data analysis in this study utilized descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The findings indicate high student perceptions of lecturers' pedagogic competence and learning satisfaction. Regression analysis confirms a significant positive effect of students' perceptions of lecturers' pedagogic competence on learning satisfaction. If students perceive that the lecturer possesses good teaching abilities, can communicate the material clearly, and responds to students' learning needs, then it is highly likely that students will be satisfied with the learning process. This research has important implications for improving the quality of higher education learning. Lecturers should plan and design effective learning experiences, including selecting materials, teaching methods, and appropriate resources. Furthermore, the ability to utilize technology in teaching is increasingly important in today's digital era.

Abstract

The use of technology in education is inevitable in the current era of quality education. The technology works as a backbone of the modern education system and without technology, the modern education would have never achieved the current success. Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is one of the best examples of modern instructional technology in education. MOOC has made the current education so vivid and accessible that anyone, anytime from anywhere can follow the classes as the traditional student does. As technology is a big issue in Afghanistan, so it has hindered the use of MOOCs in the educational system of Afghanistan. However, a great number of Afghan students regularly go abroad for their higher studies where they come across with the use of MOOCs. This study aims to investigate the perceptions of Afghan postgraduate students at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) toward the effectiveness of MOOCs. The study has specifically investigated the perceptions of Afghan postgraduate students at UiTM toward MOOCs and the challenges students face while using MOOCs for learning. A qualitative research approach was used for the study. The data collected through semi-structured interviews was thematically analysed and presented. Overall, 5 participants participated in the study. The findings revealed that participants had positive views towards the use of MOOCs and considered MOOCs as the best source of learning. Unreliable uploaded materials, technical issues of the MOOC's software and students' lack of proper knowledge to use MOOCs were some of the leading challenges while using MOOCs.

Abstract

The quality of student learning outcomes in science subjects (exact), especially mathematics, is still relatively low and has always been a problem in Indonesia, namely in education. This is supported by the findings of the 2015 PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) study, which found that Indonesian students ranked 62 out of 70 countries, especially in mathematics skills. So, this study aims to improve student learning outcomes in learning mathematics, focusing on quadratic equation material. The research method used is classroom action research (CAR), applying the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model. The subject was class nine grade students of Al-Kautsar Plus Junior High School, Malang City, totaling 20 students consisting of 12 female and eight male students. Data collection using observation and test techniques. Qualitative analysis was carried out of the observation data, which contained information on student interaction. The research design consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Quantitatively, the test data were analyzed, including pre and post-test scores measuring the math learning outcomes of students. The results of this study began from the beginning (pre-cycle) to cycle I, which is an increase from 50% to 65%. Then, in cycle II, there was an increase from 65% to 90% because it had met the success indicator with the number of students who scored ≥ 75 more than 80%, so it stopped in cycle II. Thus, implementing the Jigsaw-type cooperative model can improve students' learning outcomes in mathematics. In conclusion, the findings of this study show that a jigsaw-type cooperative learning model effectively improves mathematics education and teaching in secondary schools. The jigsaw model, which encourages student engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking, is a promising approach to improving mathematics education and preparing students for success in the 21st century, so it has the potential to be widely adopted in other schools by educators.

This statement is supported by students learning outcomes in science subjects, namely Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics, which are above the minimum completeness criteria. Parents' activities that make a high contribution to children's online learning include motivating children to be enthusiastic, supervising online lesson hours according to schedule, providing facilities in the form of devices and internet quota within reasonable limits. Monitoring techniques that are widely used by parents are building good communication with children, regarding online learning and reprimanding children when they do not follow online learning and assignments. Parents' involvement in science learning is done through the reinforcement given by parents to science learning.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of the realistic mathematics education (RME) approach to overcome mathematics learning difficulties in grade IV students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. Learning difficulties experienced by students of madrasah ibtidaiyah age on average are difficulties in understanding concepts, low arithmetic operation skills, and a lack of mathematical problem-solving skills in high grades. So teachers need to create contextual, relevant, and interesting learning through the RME approach. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a case study type. The informants in this study consisted of 7 informants, namely the principal, class teacher, and 5 students. Data collection techniques include observation of the real situation in the field, interviews by asking 25–38 questions of informants, and supporting documentation. Data analysis techniques in this study are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The data validity technique uses source triangulation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the realistic mathematics education (RME) approach has gone well by utilizing objects in the students' daily environment, namely donuts, pebbles, pencils, and money. This has a positive impact on overcoming students' learning difficulties, as evidenced by the increase in students' daily test scores on number and measurement material from the class average of 72.85 to 80 and 81.90. Thus, it can be implied that the importance of teachers having the right approach and model in learning, especially using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach, lies in overcoming students' mathematics learning difficulties so that learning outcomes can be maximally realized. This approach is suitable for MI-aged children because, at the age of 7–11 years, students are not yet able to understand concrete material, so they need learning media or are associated with everyday life as an implementation of the RME approach.
