Since the Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020, e-learning has become a necessity. There may have been some uncertainty on how to perform e-learning properly because many educational institutions may not have expected the rapid change in learning style. This is especially true when it comes to offering an e-learning management system (LMS). This study aims to examine the affordances of higher education institutions in Indonesia in conducting the e-learning during the pandemic. To understand more about the adoption of e-learning in their individual institutions, we conducted an online survey towards 100 university lecturers from several cities. The results revealed that 79% of the participants used a specially built LMS in their universities, while the rest still used commercially built LMS like Moodle. Then, 82% of the participants prefer blended learning model which combined face-to-face and e-learning models, and 46% of them wanted to have a fifty-fifty division between face to face and e-learning. As for the challenges, no interaction with students was deemed as the most disturbing challenge for the lecturers. The results imply that e-learning will continue to be implemented in Indonesia, regardless of the condition of the pandemic. Thus, universities should provide an e-LMS that can cater all the e-learning needs, while lecturers should also equip themselves with pedagogical as well as technological skills to face the e-learning challenges.

The students in vocational colleges are weak in mathematical calculation, which affects the teaching quality of Engineering Mechanics. In order to improve teaching quality, the research team propose a solution strategy combining simulation calculation and mathematical integral calculation. This article carried on the teaching practice starting from a typical problem raised by the students. The finite element model was established and simulated on a computer. The Mises stress nephogram and date were obtained by the simulation calculation, which solved the students’ doubts. These visual materials provide support for the students to understand the abstract concepts of Engineering Mechanics. However, the simulation only described the final results and the students could not get the specific calculation process from the finite element model. Subsequently, the detailed integral calculation process was sorted out by the teachers, which helped the students understand the strain accumulation of the prism. The result of integral calculation is 0.1143 mm, which is very close to the result of the simulation (0.1123 mm). The finite element analysis and calculus calculation process were sorted into the teaching materials of Engineering Mechanics. Subsequently, a teaching practice was applied to a class of 35 students. Teaching evaluation shows that teaching quality has been significantly improved. On the one hand, digital materials such as stress nephogram have the characteristics of visualization, which provides convenience for students to understand complex mechanics concepts. On the other hand, students’ interest in learning has been enhanced, and classroom interaction has increased significantly. This study provides a new way to answer complex questions in Engineering Mechanics teaching, which should be paid more attention and explored by more scholars.

In today’s age, the use and access to technology have become essential aspects of every individual. However, digital immigrants, individuals raised before the digital age, need help to cope with this advancement. In this study, the Education Technology Office conducted an onsite learning intervention to teach the digital immigrant faculty members about using Microsoft Applications such as Office365, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Forms. The faculty members’ facial expressions during the intervention were recorded using a web camera. Five consented videos of 1 hour were obtained in the data collection process. The video dataset was processed using the OpenFace toolkit to detect the facial features per frame. Afterward, feature selection and extraction of Action units were applied before fitting to the LSTM model. The LSTM model yielded a recognition accuracy of 97.3% on the validation set. In the analysis of facial expressions based on time, it was observed that as time progressed during the learning intervention, there were not many changes in the emotion of the participants. Also, the most frequent emotion recognized in different timestamps (initial, middle, final) part was ’happy,’ which may indicate that the participant has enjoyed the intervention and may suggest that it is effective. While other emotions were also evidently recognized, such as ’sad’ and ’surprised’, which might indicate the difficulty or challenges encountered by the digital immigrants during the learning intervention.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, teachers have to hesitantly switch to the virtual world of teaching, known as enriched virtual blended learning in which technology, surely plays a significant role in material delivery and discussion. Studies related to blended learning in English language classes, especially in academic writing classes, have been done in many countries, but they are still lacking in the Indonesian setting. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of technology utilization in enriched blended learning to teach academic writing and the students’ perspectives towards the use of technology in blended learning. This study involving forty-five students in a university in Jakarta applied both quantitative and qualitative methods. A pre-test and a post-test were assigned before and after the blended learning period to study the effectiveness of blended learning. In addition, surveys and interviews were conducted to investigate the students’ perspectives. The results indicated that the use of technology in blended learning effectively helped students develop their academic writing skills despite being a new experience. Furthermore, despite some limitations, this strategy of using technology in teaching-learning was accepted with optimism as they started to get accustomed to it. Hence, the use of technology is promising for the future of learning.

It has become increasingly important for graduate students worldwide, especially international graduate students, to write about their research in academic English. This study aimed at identifying the domain knowledge which affects the proficiency of English as a second language (ESL) academic writing and developing the constructionism-based framework for Chinese international master students in Thailand. A systematic literature review with VOSviewer visualization was conducted to identify the general domain knowledge of ESL academic writing. Six hundred twenty research articles published between 2018 to 2022 were screened, and 120 of them were included in the synthesis. Then ESL academic writing from 11 Chinese international master students in Thailand was collected to do error analysis. Based on constructionism, a framework was developed to guide the instruction design. The findings of this study would contribute to the body of literature on the learning theory of constructionism and yield insightful implications for andragogy on ESL academic writing, which can hopefully benefit international students in higher education.

We studied and developed a travel route recommendation system based on a route clustering algorithm. Firstly, we extracted real users’ travel routes from the data accumulated in SNS and built a travel route database. Secondly, we propose a route clustering algorithm that considers the spatial similarity of routes. We applied this algorithm to design the travel route recommendation system. The system can retrieve the travel routes in the database that match the user’s preferences and put similar routes into the same route set by the route clustering algorithm. Eventually, the system will recommend several route sets to the user. Since each route set has different spatial characteristics, users can quickly understand the differences between these routes. We showed the system to 21 graduate students at Yamaguchi University and conducted a questionnaire survey. The survey results show that more than 75% of respondents felt that clustering routes through route clustering algorithms would help them more quickly understand the differences and characteristics of those recommended travel routes.

One very common problem in Statistics that the undergraduate students, or even the postgraduate students, is facing is how to choose the correct statistical tests. Choosing the incorrect tests may generate meaningless results leading to misleading conclusions or disastrous decisions. The current study focused on evaluating the effectiveness of providing students with a systematic way to select the correct statistical tests. A quasi-experimental design was employed. Post-assessment scores were used to measure achievement, and post-survey responses were used to measure students’ attitude in choosing statistical tests in a systematic manner. Results showed that selecting statistical tests systematically has a statistically significant effect on achievement. Furthermore, the post-survey responses indicated that students were feeling much more confident with their analysis. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the use of systematic approach in teaching second-year undergraduate students on how to choose correct statistical tests is more effective than using traditional (face-to-face) instruction.

In modern world programming has become a critical profession and skill that is necessary in order to ensure the proper function of business, social, health and other systems. Emerging artificial intelligence technology and its role in optimizing systems makes the role of programmer even more important since even a slight mistake in these kind of systems could be critical. In order to support rapid development of technology and its practical usage there is a constant need for skilled and well-educated programming professionals. However, the history and current situation in the field of education has shown that programming is hard to learn and that programming courses constantly report rather high failure rates. There are many possible reasons for this kind of situation, and many different approaches that have been used more or less successfully. However, since the mentioned problem of programming courses has persisted to this day, new efforts are needed to help students with their programming efforts. One of possible approaches is using virtual reality as a tool to make programming concepts more understandable to students, and to increase their motivation to spend more time in their programming activities. In this paper, a concise overview of programming education challenges is given, and research results about the potential use and acceptance of virtual reality in student educational activities are given and elaborated. New research approaches and efforts are also stated and discussed.

In this paper, the authors strive to set out a methodology for the learning outcomes revaluation using object-oriented programming higher education courses regarding JAVA™ programming language as a pilot sample in the evaluation and adjustment process that needs to be done periodically. For that purpose, authors analyze learning outcomes and hourly rate of the teaching subjects in the JAVA™ courses (EQF/CROQF level 6 and 7) at different higher education institutions with an aim to set out a solid base for employers in the IT industry to provide feedback from the labor market and suggest the segments for further improvement. Employers were asked to fill out a survey in which they needed to assess (on a scale from 1 to 5) how much their employees knew about each of the segments, i.e., for each learning outcome or content topic that was covered by the JAVA™ programming language in the class. According to the employers and in relation to the defined learning outcomes, their employees needed additional education in almost all segments of object-oriented JAVA programming, especially in two segments.

For that purpose, authors analyze learning outcomes and hourly rate of the teaching subjects in the JAVA™ courses (EQF/CROQF level 6 and 7) at different higher education institutions with an aim to set out a solid base for employers in the IT industry to provide feedback from the labor market and suggest the segments for further improvement. Employers were asked to fill out a survey in which they needed to assess (on a scale from 1 to 5) how much their employees knew about each of the segments, i.e., for each learning outcome or content topic that was covered by the JAVA™ programming language in the class. According to the employers and in relation to the defined learning outcomes, their employees needed additional education in almost all segments of object-oriented JAVA programming, especially in two segments. In this paper, the authors present in detail the obtained analysis and the results of the conducted survey regarding IT employees with guidelines that should be considered in the revision of existing syllabuses and curriculums.","PeriodicalId":332586,"journal":{"name":"2023 11th International Conference on Information and Education Technology (ICIET)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125204298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
