Abstract

The development of Virtual Reality (VR)-based learning technology provides new opportunities to overcome the limitations of conventional media, especially in delivering abstract learning materials. The immersive, interactive, and three-dimensional visualization-based characteristics of VR have the potential to support students' cognitive processes, including the ability to retain information in memory. This study aims to analyze the effect of Virtual Reality (VR) Use on students' Memory Retention in learning abstract materials. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method. The study population was junior high school students in Makassar City who had utilized VR-based teaching materials in the learning process. The study sample consisted of 50 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique from five schools. Data analysis was carried out using simple linear regression through testing the regression coefficient, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results showed that the Use of Virtual Reality (VR) had a positive and significant effect on students' Memory Retention with a significance value of 0.001. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.814 indicates that the Use of VR was able to explain 81.4% of the variation in students' Memory Retention in the research model. Research findings indicate that VR not only functions as an innovative learning medium, but also has a relationship with students' cognitive processes in receiving, processing, and retaining information in learning abstract material.

Abstract

School-level instruction on heredity covers genetics topics such as DNA, RNA, alleles, phenotypes, genotypes, and more. This study aimed to develop electronic Punnett square media to enhance students' understanding of genetic concepts. The ADDIE development model was employed to create the media. Trials were conducted with Grade XII students, involving 15 students for the formative assessment and 60 students for the summative assessment. Data were analyzed to determine validation and practicality percentages, while an independent t-test was used to assess the media's effectiveness. The findings indicate that the Punnett square electronic media is valid (according to experts), practical (based on student and teacher feedback), and effective in improving students' conceptual understanding. Classes that used electronic media for the Punnett square demonstrated a better understanding of the concepts than those that did not (sig < 0.05). The significant difference in post-test results between the experimental and control classes suggests that the electronic Punnett square supports a more meaningful learning process. Consequently, this media serves as a viable alternative for biology instruction, helping students grasp abstract concepts in heredity.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate Grammarly usage as an AI-mediated revision tool in undergraduate EFL students’ research proposal introductions. This study uses a convergent mixed-methods design. Data was collected through Likert-scale questionnaire responses from 20 students, semi-structured interviews with 10 participants, and document analysis of three research proposal introductions. The analysis distinguished between micro-level linguistic revision and macro-level rhetorical development, using Swales’ Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) model. The findings of this study indicate that Grammarly gave positive contributions, particularly valuing its immediate feedback, error detection, and writing confidence. Document analysis highlighted revisions to grammatical accuracy, vocabulary choice, and sentence structure. Whereas interview findings suggested that using Grammarly repeatedly could help students improve their language choices and errors. Nevertheless, Grammarly had limitations for rhetorical development, particularly in establishing a research niche within the CARS model. This limitation suggests that Grammarly serves as a linguistic tool rather than a rhetorical guide. These findings imply that AI writing tools should be complemented with instructor guidance and explicit feedback-literacy instruction to support students’ development as independent academic writers.

Abstract

Limited public knowledge of local biological potential highlights the need for concise, contextual, and accessible science education media. This study developed and formatively evaluated a QR Code-based booklet on the antibacterial activity of walikukun leaves (Schoutenia ovata Korth.) for community science education. An adapted ADDIE framework was used through analysis, design, development, and formative evaluation; the study did not proceed to full-scale implementation. The needs analysis involved 56 respondents, and the prototype was validated by three material experts and three media experts. A formative readability and initial effectiveness trial involved 30 community members using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data were analyzed descriptively and with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and effect size. Results showed that 64.3% of respondents were unfamiliar with walikukun and its leaf benefits, while 91.1% were unfamiliar with pathogenic bacteria; all respondents supported booklet development. Expert validation indicated very high feasibility for material (94.5%) and media (91.8%), and user readability and response reached 95.5%. Mean knowledge scores increased from 1.93 to 4.00 (Z = -4.300, p < 0.001, r = 0.785). The booklet was therefore highly feasible and readable and showed promising initial effectiveness in a formative community trial.

Abstract

At the end of 2019, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted an immediate knee-jerk response in many countries worldwide to shut down all learning institutions, from preschool to university level. This unforeseen abrupt closure of most educational institutions compelled the conversion of face-to-face learning to a fully online or blended/hybrid format in a very short transitional time. While the advantages of online learning are apparent, its effective use in many universities and colleges is very complex and challenging. This may be due to factors like large student numbers, lack of appropriate gadgets, poor internet connectivity, and expensive data bundles. In the context of both challenges and benefits of online learning, this study sought to explore perceptions of pre-service teachers (students) at a teacher education college in Zimbabwe on their experience in the use of a particular online teaching and learning platform. We used a semi-structured questionnaire and interviews in this case study to gather data. Findings show that pre-service teachers perceived the online learning platform to be useful in facilitating learning by enabling them to learn anytime from any place. However, the pre-service teachers indicated that, if given the opportunity to choose, they would prefer face-to-face learning due to their inability to purchase laptops, the high cost of data required to stay connected to the internet, and their lack of proficiency in using the online learning platform. Based on findings, recommendations are given for enhancing the use of online platforms for teaching and learning.
