Abstract

Reticence prevalent among East Asian students has prompted educators to attempt different methods to engage them. Gamification of courses has gained popularity as an avenue to encourage students’ participation, and it is facilitated by the roll-out of diverse online gamification platforms. This study aims to reflect on an educator’s experience of incorporating elements of gamification in an environmental science course delivered in a micro-campus established through a Sino-American educational collaboration. Gibb’s Reflective Cycle was adopted to guide the reflection practice. Gamification was implemented with three online interactive platforms, namely Poll Everywhere, Kahoot, and Quizizz. Poll Everywhere was mainly used for short polls and activities during lessons, while Kahoot and Quizizz were used for quiz-like competitions whose scores did not contribute to students’ grades. Kahoot created a lively atmosphere in class but was constrained by limits on players’ numbers, internet control, and the lag between sending and receiving responses. Quizizz had more game elements, which thrilled individual players but was less able to create the lively classroom the educator desired. It was more stable, perhaps because it was less subjected to internet control. Poll Everywhere had a less attractive scoreboard and was more appropriate for short classroom activities. Students' interest in the platforms tended to wane with each repeated use of the platforms. To improve the gamification experience, a mix of platforms could be used, and locally developed platforms could be sourced for stability and diversification.

Abstract

From the year 2000 to the year 2022, Indonesia has had a number of natural disasters that were big enough to be called "national disasters." After a natural disaster occurs, it has a significant physical and social impact. The Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) method is applied to determine the handling priority after a disaster due to the simple calculation process. The physical and psychological impacts caused by natural disasters in Indonesia are often ignored consciously. With the aim of normalization, it is necessary to repair and restore all aspects of public or community services as part of an effort to rehabilitate post-disaster areas. It is important to recognize the contribution to post-disaster reconstruction for victims who lost daily routine activities, emotional disturbance, family loss, and a sense of security. Trauma can be categorized as acute versus chronic and early versus late. The focus of this study was examining the presence of play spaces for post-disaster recovery. The hope is that this research aims to find out the extent of the presence of play spaces in providing services for post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Abstract

Student-centered approach has been the center of attention in teaching and learning as the emphasis to shift away from teacher-centered approach is growing. While the term has been widely used, it remains unclear how it can be effectively operationalized given the continuum nature of teacher-centered and student-centered approaches. This article examines 34 articles and included a thematic analysis of their contents to systematically present the methods to operationalize student-centered approach. A channel to practice student-centered approach is project-based learning where students work on projects, such as community and design projects, and are expected to manage the projects or at least propose actions or solutions. Problem-based learning is a variant of project-based learning and students often work on scenarios, cases, questions, or problems which are less extensive than projects. Problem-solving usually precedes lectures to promote self-directed learning and facilitate scaffolding. An argument-based curriculum incorporates arguments and debates that engage students in the self-discovery of different perspectives on a given topic. Student-centered approach is closely linked to the use of technology for research, interactions, gamification, simulations, and feedback. Student-centered feedback prompts active learning through deliberate feedback while adaptive teaching involves students in content-building. This review contributes to the enhancement of student-centered elements in teaching and learning.

Abstract

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an effective educational approach that promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. The study aimed to review an implementation of PBL in engineering course in Malaysia. PBL has been shown to be effective in engaging students in the learning process by presenting them with complex, open-ended problems that require critical thinking and creativity to solve. Through this process, students develop their critical thinking skills, including their ability to analyze information, evaluate arguments, and make sound judgments. PBL also helps students to develop their problem-solving skills, which are essential in the real world. Despite its benefits, implementing PBL in the classroom can also have some challenges and limitations. It can be time-consuming, difficult to assess, challenging to implement in large classes, and may not be suitable for all students. Thus, careful planning and preparation are required before implementing PBL in a university setting. In an engineering course, PBL provides students with opportunities to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as to enhance their collaboration and communication abilities. It also allows students to see the relevance of the knowledge and skills they are learning and to take ownership of their learning. Therefore, implementing PBL in a university requires identifying appropriate learning objectives and designing a problem or scenario that aligns with those objectives. The problem or scenario should be complex and open-ended, requiring students to draw on knowledge and skills from multiple subject areas. The implementation of PBL should also involve ongoing evaluation and refinement to ensure its effectiveness.

Abstract

Diplomatic language and political discourse have always been inseparable and have wielded effects in terms of power, control, and domination. These effects depended on how language was used and for what purpose. The article stems from the premise that the use of specific strategies, particularly discursive strategies, enables users to convey power and leadership. Consequently, this article analyzes the political discourse, specifically the diplomatic language, used in the welcoming speech delivered by Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed at the African Union (AU) Assembly. The analysis is conducted based on Reisigl and Wodak's Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) theory, focusing on their five discursive strategies. The goal is to uncover the discursive strategies employed by Abiy Ahmed to achieve unity and, through unity, convey Africa's power in general, in the face of foreign intrusion, as well as Ethiopia's power specifically. The analysis reveals that the discursive strategy of predication predominated throughout the speech, both individually and in combination. Predication was employed to showcase notions of power, positivity, independence, and sovereignty of Ethiopia. By utilizing these discursive strategies, Abiy emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts to overcome any obstacles that arise in Africa.

Abstract

In engineering education, experiential learning is essential as it allowed students to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world applications. This study explored the impact of industrial visits, a form of experiential learning, on engineering students’ comprehension, critical thinking, and overall educational experience. We employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating questionnaire surveys, reflective writing exercises, and qualitative analyses to assess the learning outcomes and pedagogical implications of these site visits. Our findings demonstrated that industrial visits significantly enhanced students’ understanding of engineering concepts by providing real-world context to theoretical knowledge. Through reflective exercises, students integrated their field trip experiences with classroom learning, fostering critical thinking abilities and a deeper comprehension of the subject matter. This study underscored the importance of curriculum integration. To nurture students as adept problem solvers and critical thinkers in both academic and practical engineering fields, fostering dynamic interactions between theoretical instruction and practical experiences was crucial. Our study encouraged further exploration of how experiential learning could enrich the educational journey, equipping students to tackle complex challenges in our ever-evolving environment as engineering education advanced.

Abstract

Learners’ attitudes towards learning English as a global language have been widely discussed, yet little is known about this in Indonesia. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by exploring the responses of Indonesian university students to a survey on their attitudes toward learning English in the context of globalization. A total of 333 students volunteered to participate, representing diverse departments within a faculty at a university in Central Java Province, Indonesia. To collect data, we carefully adapted and designed a questionnaire, which was administered online using Google Forms. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis suggests that college learners and users of English in Indonesia hold a positive attitude towards learning the language. We also provide pedagogical implications.
