After-school programmes (ASPs) help to facilitate students' learning. DREAMS ASP facilitates schoolchildren with holistic development interventions at different locations. Due to the pandemic, DREAMS conducted their ASP in the online mode. The present study aims to narrate the case of ASP in the virtual mode and discuss participants' experiences on holistic development at one of its locations. The study employed qualitative study designs. The sample of the study included participants from DREAMS ASP site at Kerala, India. The study interviewed four mentors, seven participants, and their parents to understand participants' holistic development. However, the study excluded physical and spiritual aspects of holistic development. It found that the virtual DREAMS ASP was joyful, and there was a significant, positive change in all the selected dimensions of holistic development as reported by mentors, children, and parents. The study encourages future researchers to provide opportunities and frameworks to conduct more ASPs in India.

With the limitations imposed by Covid-19 pandemic, educational regulatory bodies in India recommended a number of online education portals to support higher education. Present work undertakes a detailed study on these recommended platforms and presents a comparative analysis based on the relevant features. ‘SWAYAM’ a widely popular and emphasized Indian MOOC platform has been compared with the other popular e-learning platforms of the international market. The study revealed that e-learning platforms vary in terms of offerings such as: method of dissemination of knowledge, target audiences, fee, target audiences, etc. Also, in terms of user base, courses offered, and certificates offered, ‘SWAYAM’ has to work a lot to compete with the international peers. Finally, SWOC analysis was carried out to present the threats and opportunities associated with recommended e-learning portals. The work will be profoundly helpful to frame the comprehensive education policies to meet the stakeholder’s expectations and lead to the innovation of educational development.

Today, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has impact on every facet of our life including education, which has started an era of open online education. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are one of the major outcomes of open online education in the field of education. MOOCs have various dimensions, which open a wide scope for learning at different levels of education, i.e., school education, higher education, lifelong education and so on. MOOCs have potential to stand parallel to conventional education and existing distance education, and cater the different issues of conventional education and existing distance education because of their massive, open and online features. In the light of these issues, in the present paper, discussions are made mostly focusing on distance education as an alternative to conventional education; MOOCs as the alternative to conventional education and existing distance education; trend of growth of MOOCs; dimensions and scope of MOOCs; and learning environments of MOOCs. Towards the end of the paper some challenges of MOOCs are presented.

This paper discusses the evaluation of two 3D simulated practice learning environments, Tiny Oaks and Play2Do, focused on supporting people working with children, families, and vulnerable people in special educational settings. Pre-test/post-test evaluation methodology was employed consisting of a questionnaire with 16 questions covering knowledge and understanding, professional practice, and transferable skills. Tiny Oaks had 530 participants pre-test and 423 post-test from six European countries, and results show a significant increase in learning across all questions. Play2Do had 318 participants pre-test and 301 participants post-test from the UK and Bulgaria, and again results show a significant increase in learning across all questions. The system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire was also used to measure the usability of the two environments, and usability was found to be excellent. Findings suggest that 3D simulated practice environments can provide a valuable learning experience and can provide practice learning scenarios that may be difficult to encounter in real-life.

Owing to the importance of a subject like Mathematics in the teaching and learning of science, self-learning often poses a challenge to the educator. The objective of this study is to analyse the enhancement of the textual and the media form of self-learning modules to teach Algebra and Geometry to eighth graders considering their retention levels. A pre-test post-test single-group quasi experimental design was tested and tried out on 49 participants of a school. The 20 modules of self-learning material covering content in the topics of Algebra and Geometry in the textual and media-assisted forms of self-learning were administered over three months. The findings of the study revealed the ability of media-assisted self-learning modules to enhance achievement in the post-test when compared to the pre-test. The textual-assisted learning modules was able to enhance significant difference in the achievements in Geometry, but not of Algebra. The delayed post-test results were found to indicate an improved achievement in Mathematics.
由于像数学这样的学科在科学教学中的重要性,自学往往给教育者带来挑战。本研究的目的是分析考虑到代数和几何的记忆水平,提高八年级学生自学模块的文本和媒体形式。采用一种前测后测单组准实验设计,对某学校49名被试进行了测试和试验。20个模块的自学材料涵盖了代数和几何的内容,以文本和媒体辅助的自学形式进行,为期三个月。研究结果显示,与测试前相比,媒体辅助自学模块能够提高测试后的成绩。文本辅助学习模块能显著提高几何成绩的差异,但对代数成绩无显著影响。测试后延迟的结果表明数学成绩有所提高。

A. Kundu
The aim of this study was to explore the effects of e-service quality on student satisfaction and retention. It reports an exploratory case study conducted on 50 purposively selected undergraduate students from a government-run higher education institution in India. The data were collected for content analysis through interviews and focus group discussions based on students' subjective experiences. Findings revealed that e-service quality substantially impacts students' satisfaction levels which eventually accosts their retention in the e-learning environment. A majority of interviewees stated all four dimensions of e-service quality—efficiency, fulfilment, privacy, and system availability—are instrumental to influence their satisfaction level. Satisfied students are more likely to be retained. The implication is that students might be provided with a more satisfied and engaging e-learning experience and service providers or institutions who seek customer satisfaction might take note of these dimensions to boost e-learning.
摘要本研究旨在探讨电子服务品质对学生满意度与保留率的影响。它报告了一项探索性案例研究,该研究对印度一所公立高等教育机构中有意挑选的50名本科生进行了研究。根据学生的主观体验,通过访谈和焦点小组讨论的方式收集数据进行内容分析。调查结果显示,电子服务质量极大地影响了学生的满意度,最终导致他们在电子学习环境中的保留率。大多数受访者表示,电子服务质量——效率、履行、隐私和系统可用性——的所有四个维度都有助于影响他们的满意度。满意的学生更有可能被留住。这意味着学生可能会获得更满意和更有吸引力的电子学习体验,而寻求客户满意度的服务提供商或机构可能会注意到这些方面来促进电子学习。

While higher education is rich in diversity and rewards, it can be particularly arduous for first-generation college students. This paper reports the results of a qualitative research study investigating the college experiences, identity development, and issues faced by this student subpopulation that moved from sixth-form and completed the undergraduate programme at a midsized public university in Peninsular Malaysia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus groups. These students have faced and managed to overcome a host of academic, socio-economic, emotional, and cultural challenges. The parents' low socio-economic status is the biggest barrier to the academic success of these students. They viewed their status as a source of strength. The biggest cultural transition faced by the participants involved bringing their student identity home. It is hoped that the results of this study will offer some fresh perspectives into the continuing discussion on first generation students.
虽然高等教育具有丰富的多样性和回报,但对于第一代大学生来说,它可能特别艰难。本文报告了一项定性研究的结果,该研究调查了马来西亚半岛一所中型公立大学从六年级开始完成本科课程的学生群体所面临的大学经历、身份发展和问题。通过半结构化访谈和焦点小组收集数据。这些学生面临并成功克服了一系列学术、社会经济、情感和文化方面的挑战。父母较低的社会经济地位是这些学生学业成功的最大障碍。他们把自己的地位视为力量的源泉。参与者所面临的最大的文化转变是将他们的学生身份带回家。希望本研究的结果将为关于第一代学生的持续讨论提供一些新的视角。

Haeza Haron, S. Kasuma, Ayuni Akhiar
This study uses WhatsApp to facilitate online discussions in developing content idea for ESL writing. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 33 pre-university students participating in online discussions on WhatsApp for five weeks to support face-to-face instructions. Pre-test, post-test, and five weekly writing tests were administered, examined, and analysed to identify the participants' writing performance. The findings show significant improvement in the experimental group's essay writing scores after using WhatsApp for online discussions. The participants were able to use the content generated from the MWEG in supporting the arguments in their essays. Besides content idea development, the experimental group saw the WhatsApp online discussions as boosting confidence, raising motivation, and encouraging interactions among students. The themes that emerged from the WhatsApp group interaction were lively discussions, sharing of opinions, and turn-taking. While the control group also improved in their test scores, it was not as significant as the experimental group.

The problem of educational potential and work potential is multifaceted. First, it is necessary to increase their rational use for sustainable development of the country. Secondly, the value components of educational potential and work potential of young people are unstable and contradictory. This fact leads to socio-cultural features and has an impact on the level of development of the social potential of modern youth. This work addresses the status roles of the unemployed, types of their employment behaviour, attitudes to education, training, retraining, self-development of unemployed youth as a specific social group. The features of value components of educational potential and work potential of the Russian unemployed youth in modern conditions are analyzed based on authors' research.

This exploratory case study investigates the use of flipped learning in a second language classroom at a university in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Flipped learning was researched as a possible teaching/learning strategy for this population. As this study was exploratory, a case study was chosen as the research method. Students in one class participated in the flipped learning approach for one semester. Results were triangulated through students' test scores, interviews with participants, and teacher reflections. The data showed that flipped learning was viewed positively in terms of self-efficacy, leaner autonomy, a resource for an introduction to the concept and for review. However, participants clearly indicated that flipped learning should not replace the integral role of the teacher. Finally, implications in terms of the use of the flipped learning approach in English language classes are discussed as well as recommendations for future studies.
本探索性案例研究调查了翻转学习在阿拉伯联合酋长国一所大学第二语言课堂中的应用。翻转学习被研究作为一种可能的教学/学习策略。由于本研究是探索性的,所以选择了案例研究作为研究方法。一个班的学生参与了一个学期的翻转学习方法。结果是通过学生的考试成绩、对参与者的采访和老师的反思进行三角测量的。数据显示,翻转学习在自我效能、学习者自主性、概念介绍和复习资源等方面得到了积极的评价。然而,参与者明确表示,翻转学习不应该取代教师的整体作用。最后,讨论了在英语课堂中使用翻转学习方法的意义,并对未来的研究提出了建议。
