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

University students typically lack sleep owing to academic, social, and personal stresses. Sleep deprivation affects academic performance, cognition, attendance, and well-being. Sleep deprivation trends among local students at an international institution are examined and how it affects their academic performance. It seeks to understand sleep deprivation and its effects on grades, attendance, cognitive abilities, and well-being. Six students answered this qualitative research voluntarily. To guarantee student diversity, responders were chosen selectively. Semi-structured interviews with surveys and in-depth questions were used to produce comprehensive data. Two months were spent collecting data. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to discover sleep deprivation patterns and variables. Results indicate a clear link between poor sleep and academic achievement. Academic burden, extracurricular activities, and screen time greatly affected students' sleep and night time practices. These variables affected their academic success, university involvement, and well-being. Understanding university student sleep deprivation patterns and causes might help create treatments and support services to mitigate its effects. These findings suggest that university policy should promote good sleep habits, regulate academic demands, and decrease screen time to improve student well-being and academic achievement.

Abstract

Generation Z currently dominates the student population in pre-service teacher education programs. Analyzing the differences in characteristics between Generation Z pre-service teachers and those from previous generations is crucial. In the ever-evolving digital era, Generation Z pre-service teachers need to possess strong digital literacy, deep pedagogical understanding, and adequate self-confidence to meet the demands of the digital age. This study aims to investigate the role of digital literacy and self-efficacy among pre-service teachers as mediators in their relationship with technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). This research is quantitative in nature. Data were collected from 105 Generation Z pre-service teachers from various study programs across two different provinces in Indonesia. The instruments used to measure the variables included questionnaires on digital literacy, self-efficacy, and TPACK. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was employed to analyze the structural relationships. The findings reveal that Generation Z pre-service teachers have a strong inclination towards digital literacy, which influences their pedagogical insights in implementing technology in teaching and learning processes. The development of pre-service teacher training programs is necessary to adapt to the needs of Generation Z and the rapid technological advancements in the future. A solid grasp of digital literacy and pedagogical insights can effectively prepare qualified educators

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.
