The impact of computer assisted instruction (C.A.I.) on the academic performance of computer science students at Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo was examined. The study investigated the post-test scores of both the control and experimental groups and the effect of pre-test scores on students taught using the traditional lecture method. Quasi-experimental study design was adopted; a pre-test and post-test were conducted for the sample groups. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 50 participants for the study. The instrument was administered twice, i.e., the pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was conducted on both the experimental and control groups, and both groups were presented with the post-test to ascertain the effectiveness of the C.A.I. The instrument’s reliability yielded a coefficient of 0.78 Cronbach alpha. Data were analysed using an independent t-test. Results demonstrated that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean score (t = 1.20, df = 38, p > 0.05) of students taught using the conventional lecture method (control) and students exposed to C.A.I. (experimental). Based on the results, it was recommended that using C.A.I. for teaching and learning should be encouraged at Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, Nigeria.

The goal of education and training is the transfer of learning which requires translating theories to knowledge, skills and learned behaviour. Education can only achieve its intended purpose when theories taught in the classroom are connected to workplace practices. If education and training fail to achieve this lofty objective, then, all efforts, time and resources may be a waste. Transfer of learning only occurs when prior learned knowledge and skills are applied in workplace, either in similar, related, or different contexts. However, there seems to be a missing link in what is being taught and transferred to the workplace in recent times. Aside from the theory of identical elements, this review also considers the theory of near and far transfer. The relevance of these two theories to classroom and workplace is the focal point of this review. Data for this review are secondary sources from documentary reviews, related articles, scholarly works in journals, conference proceedings among others. Data derived from these sources were analysed using content analysis approach. This paper posits that there is a missing link between what is being taught and learnt in the classroom and its workplace application. This paper posits that there is urgent need to make classroom a centre of active learning. Hence, a student-centred pedagogy is recommended, where real-life social contexts are taught in the classrooms, which can ultimately transfer learning to workplace.

Students' use of digital devices (DDs) and the disruption of their attention in class are generally considered causes for considerable concern regarding how they affect their performance in the classroom. Based on students' perceptions, this study aims to determine whether these DDs positively impact learning effectiveness. Using a qualitative exploratory design, the study sought to better understand the subject matter under investigation through the students' experiences. Before submission of the data to software for analysis, another person reviewed the transcribed text independently. ATLAS.ti version 22 software was used by an independent analyst to analyse the data. Findings showed that personal computers, tablets, mobile phones, and iPads are classrooms’ most commonly used DDs. Even though the advantages of using DDs in the classroom are significant, it was suggested that appropriate and responsible use of DDs is crucial for students to develop digital literacy, online safety, and responsible technology use habits. Teachers and schools should establish guidelines and provide digital citizenship education. The study concludes that teachers need to implement strategies that minimise distractions while helping students.

Learning models can improve the quality of education. Therefore, this paper aims to prove the validity level of the problem-based contextual model in learning history through selected documentary films. This research refers to research and development. The process was used to produce and validate a product including educational products. The resulting educational product is a problem-based contextual learning model in learning history, which used ADDIE design model. The problem-based contextual model in history learning in high school is in the valid category. This model is a new learning model developed from the contextual learning model. Documentary film is one of the tools that can be used as a medium to deliver learning material. Visualization in film can make the expected atmosphere really felt and as if students are participating in the conditions in the film. In this case, the teacher has the essential role in explaining important points that become the subject of discussion so that learning a history will be more dynamic and varied. The problem-based contextual model was developed based on theoretical studies of learning theories, and also of learning values to develop attitudes. The learning is based on student oriented. The problem-based contextual model consists of six syntaxes, namely: Visualization Problem, Relating, Experience, Applying, Cooperating Transferring, and Clarification.

This research is part of proof tests to a combination of statistical processing methods, collecting assessment rubrics in vocational education by comparing two systems, automated essay scoring and human rater. It aims to analyze the final assessment score of essays in Akademi Komunitas Negeri (AKN) Pacitan (Pacitan’s State Community College) and Akademi Komunitas Negeri (AKN) Blitar (Blitar’s State Community College) in East Java, Indonesia. The provisional assumption is that the results show an antithesis to the assessment of human feedback with an automated system due to the conversion of scores between the rubric and the algorithm design. As the hypothesis, algorithm-based score conversion affects automated essay scoring and human rater methods, which led to antithesis feedback. The validity and reliability of the measurement maintain the scoring consistency between the two methods and the accuracy of the answers. The novelty of this article is comparing between AES system and Human Rater using statistical methods. The research shows that there is a similar result using the psychometrics approach, which indicates different metaphor expressions and language systems. Thus, the objective of this study is to provide assistance in the advancement of an information technology system that utilizes a scoring mechanism merging computer and human evaluations, employing a psychological approach known as psychometric leads.

There are many ways that can be done to find out the individual characteristics of each student. The purpose of this study was to determine the internal potential of 10th Grade “Halimah” Students by using graphological analysis based on general characteristics, which is the slope of the writing direction, the slope of the writing lines, the spacing between words, and the spacing between lines, and based on the general characteristics, which are the letters "I", "R", and "G". This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. This method is used to describe the general description of the research, which are the characteristics of handwriting with the internal potential of students and to interpret graphology in several aspects. Then, this type of descriptive research is also capable of solving practical problems in the development of science, especially for graphological research. The stages of this research are handwriting analysis, triangulation through interviews, grouping results. The results of the analysis show that the internal potential of students is variative, so that appropriate learning methods or approaches are needed in order to achieve individual student learning goals
