INVESTIGATING KNOWLEDGE TASK DIFFICULTIES IN AN E-TRAINING SYSTEM FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DESIGN

E-training system has been a practical method in higher learning institutions to enable a virtual training environment. It is a vigorous effort to corroborate educators to prepare and facilitate themselves with professional knowledge, skill, values, and practices through training programs. These training programs are structured with an essence of competency development, lifelong learning, and career path. The effect of e-training design and process difficulties faced by end-users were less prominent. Therefore, this research’s objective is to validate the design of the E-Training System for Professional Development (TaSPoD), using an Applied Cognitive Task Analysis (ACTA) that was performed by a group of experts, to elicit the most difficult cognitive elements. Interview sessions were conducted to answer the research question of the electronic training design recommendation implemented in TaSPoD. The result shows that the experts faced difficulties in two system design elements which are system design and functionality and course content design. Thus, to increase user engagement in the e-training system, experts proposed three recommendations: (i) graphical user interface with simple and appropriate objects, tabs and icons, and video upload tools, (ii) communication tools such as chat programs and video conferencing, (iii) customized application for external documents

A review of flipped learning in innovative math education

Many systematic reviews have examined flipped learning models in various fields. However, there is little research on the use of the flipped learning model in mathematics education, which could help researchers and practitioners use and develop a model to implement mathematics learning processes. To fill this gap, this study aimed to analyze and synthesize current knowledge and practices in the implementation of flipped learning in mathematics education. Systematic literature review was adopted as the research method following an article selection and screening process using the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) protocol. Articles published from 2012 to 2021 in some reputable databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and ERIC) were reviewed, and 17 of 137 articles were included for detailed analysis and synthesis. The findings of this study showed that research in the implementation of the flipped learning model in mathematics education focused on documenting the affectivity of the implementation of the flipped learning model, developing learning processes, and sharing preliminary findings and student feedback. Future research is highly recommended to examine different aspects of flipped learning implementation, promote longitudinal data based on multi-year research for implementing flipped learning, and review various learning media to strengthen students’ understanding of mathematics

The development of massive open online course (MOOC) in traditionally taught course of emergency nursing among nursing students: a concept paper

Education plays an important role in the development of a country and is only the bridge to create the better future of citizens. As technology is a very powerful tool in education, it provides new and innovative forms of support to teachers, students and the learning process more broadly. As web-based education and technology integration continue to increase, innovative approach to deliver online learning will also occur. One of the approach is Massive open online course (MOOC) and it is a technological based learning tool that is recently emerged in the higher educational landscape to provide additional learning opportunities for learners, teachers and educational institutions. The use of MOOCs in nursing education is currently under evaluated area of pedagogy, with only an emerging evidence base to support the wider integration into relevant undergraduate curricula. Although MOOCs have been available for almost a decade, and courses continually becoming available on commercial platforms, there remains a paucity of empirical evidence to support their utilization. Specifically, in nursing education, numerous roles for MOOCs have been proposed for both on- and off-campus learning, however, a clear rationale for their effective utilization is still nascent. This study aims to develop MOOC course and investigate the effectiveness of this integrated MOOC course of emergency nursing subject among nursing students. In addition, this study goes to identify the experiences of students and lecturers in this MOOC course. The course will be developed by applying the phases of Design Developmental Research (DDR) method such as phase 1- need analysis, phase 2- design and development, phase 3- implementation and evaluation. This study will contribute the critical thinking skills and innovative ideas among nursing students thus enhancing the students' learning abilities and equips the nursing students with innovation concepts and creative skills for an ever changing technologically-driven health care environment

Piloting A Qualitative Interview for Malaysia Primary School Active Learning Needs Analysis Regarding Learner Control Experiences

This paper describes a holistic process of a pilot test to determine the trustworthiness of semi-structured interview questions to be used in the qualitative investigation of Malaysia primary school active learning needs analysis, by focusing on the learner control peculiarity in the context. The researchers carried out the pilot test based on a sequential cycle of determining, assessment, adjustment, revisiting, and reflection. The researchers generated semi-structured interview questions mainly based on Hutchinson and Waters’s (1987) framework for analysis of learning needs. The researchers tested the semi-structured interview questions on two teacher and two pupil participants mirroring the intended subjects in the field. The pilot test allows the researchers to practice beforehand the semi-structured interview techniques and provides valuable insights for the researchers to modify and improve the interview questions. Finally, this paper reports the modification or refinement made to the interview questions, which proves that the questions are readied to be used in future study.

Four factors are found to influence ELT in-service teachers’ integration of ICT: attitudes, self-efficacy, digital competence, and digital tools use. The findings of the research utilizing the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach demonstrated that all four criteria have a substantial impact on how ICT is integrated by ELT in-service teachers. By considering all the variables that affect ELT in-service instructors, this research offered helpful insights for an effective designs of English language teaching with ICT

Pre-Design for Primary School Active Learning Module: A Triadic Reciprocal Needs Analysis Framework

This paper presents a framework to analyse students’ learning needs in Malaysia primary school active learning based on the conceptualisation of theorists’ ideas. The needs analysis framework is a good reference for module designing and active learning implementation by clarifying learners’ needs through a triadic reciprocal approach, using theories that draw on the perspective of personal development (constructivism), self-regulation, and environment (ecology). These three perspectives build up a holistic needs analysis framework to discover the needs, potential, and constraint of the active learning route (learning process) in Malaysian primary schools. The needs analysis “route” in the framework contains the criterion available (external feature – ecology / the condition of active learning situation), the existing feature within the pupils’ mind (internal feature – personal development/knowledge, skills, and strategies), and the pupils’ motivation for engaging (bridging of external and internal features – self-regulation). It explains how needs analysis can highlight the potential of full-scale active learning investigation of learners’ needs from the interrelation of internal and external features. The discussion can be generalised to invite future research by providing a firm active learning theoretical foundation, a conceptual lens for active learning needs analysis, and prospects of active learning instructional and pedagogical interventions
