Use of a student response system in Primary Schools — an empirical study

This paper reports a pilot study for a student response system (SRS) used in an English school. The technology used is the “Wireless Response System” – WRS developed at Huddersfield University, and the learning activities were conducted in Mathematics and English classes. The main concepts – activity based, problem based and opinion based learning – are adopted into the study. A case study was the method used in the investigation. The results show that the system is suitable for different sizes groups of users, who may choose their preferred question types. The school claims the use of WRS was successful, evidenced by the data collected, and the children and teachers were interested in using it. We conclude that the SRS can assist teachers in classroom teaching at primary school level, especially in the observations of engagement and effectiveness of students’ learning

MENINGKATKAN KETERLIBATAN SISWA MENGGUNAKAN ONLINE STUDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM : EKSPERIMEN

Low student engagement can be indicated by students who are passive during learning, are not interested in learning and lack of focus on learning. This can be addressed by the use of OSRS(Socrative and Clickers) to increase student engagement. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence and differences in student engagement between classes that use Socrative and classes that use Clickers. The "Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Multiple Group Design" design was used in this study, with data collection using questionnaires and data analysis using the ANCOVA test. The results of this study inform that the Socrative and Clickers platforms have a positive influence on student engagement. Although, student engagement between the Socrative class and the Clickers class did not differ significantly, student engagement in the Socrative class was 6.4% higher than the Clickers class which was 6.1%. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of Socrative and Clickers can encourage student interaction and participation which leads to increased student engagement and has the potential to improve student learning assessment. Suggestions for future research are to be able to use larger samples and longer treatment times. AbstrakKeterlibatan siswa yang rendah dapat terindikasi dari siswa yang pasif saat pembelajaran, tidak tertarik dengan pembelajaran serta kurangnya focus pada pembelajaran.

The integration of a student response system in flipped classrooms

[[abstract]]The present study incorporates a student response system (SRS) as a means to engage students in a flipped classroom and promote active learning. While the effectiveness of such systems with regard to student learning has been well documented in disciplines that are dominated by lecture-based instruction, no studies have compared the effectiveness of SRS-integrated flipped classrooms in English language teaching contexts, as supported by the two different techniques of just-in-time teaching (JiTT) and peer instruction (PI). This study thus aims to fill this gap in the literature by examining the effects of SRS-integrated flipped classrooms on English language learners’ speaking skills, willingness to communicate, and satisfaction with the flipped learning experiences. Using a quasi-experimental design, the overall results indicate that SRS-integrated flipped classrooms are capable of providing interactive learning opportunities that enhance learners’ willingness to communicate, aiding their development of speaking skills and increasing their satisfaction with such learning experiences. The findings further suggest that the proposed approach has an additional advantage for motivating learners with low willingness to communicate to interact with the teacher and their peers in class activities, especially when facilitated by the PI technique

Socrative Sebagai Student Response System dalam Pembelajaran Daring Bahasa Arab

Purpose-Analyzing the socratives effectiveness as a media-based assessment of student response systems in the Arabic lessons during online classes.  Design/Methodology/Approach-This research is using descriptive-qualitative methods and was done in MAN Sidoarjo. This research methods used a simple random sampling by students of the 11 th grades IPA 1 and 2 with total population is 25 students. The data assemblings has collected by observation, interviews, and documentation. Furthermore, the data will be processed by source triangulation.   Findings: Socrative is an effective medium to provide teaching servis on Arabic lessons. There are three types of questions in the socrative methods and it was multiple choice, true/false, and short answer, and it might be able to cover the eight question type that have been developed by the Arabic language teacher of MAN Sidoarjo. This statement is giving a prove to us that socative methods colud be very helpful to facilitate teachers in developing strategies for creating exam questions, and from 25 sampling, 19 students are expressed their interest in using socrative in Arabic online learning class for various reasons.  Research Limitation/Implications: This reseach can’t reached more deeper than the reseach on space race and exit ticket because the socrative menu that being used in the field is focused on quick question, however, even though this reseach was focused on quick question, researcher found that socrative used maximally by the teacher. They use it to create various types of question in purpose to get feedback from students

THE EFFECTS OF CLICKER-AIDED FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL ON LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT, PHYSICS ANXIETY AND STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS

Similar to all stages of education, the use of the flipped classroom model continues to become more widespread in higher education. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of flipped classroom model on learning achievement and students’ anxiety towards their courses. The true experimental design was used in this study. The study was conducted with the participation of 61 undergraduate students taking the physics course. In the in-class component of the flipped classroom model, while the student response system was used with the experimental group, it was excluded during the study conducted on the control group students. Several data were collected from the physics achievement test, the physics anxiety questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews. The gathered data were analyzed in accordance with whether the student response system was utilized in the in-class component of the flipped classroom model. The results have shown that, in comparison to the control group students, the learning achievement of the experimental group students had increased and that their anxiety had decreased significantly. Furthermore, it has been determined that the experimental group students had a positive perception of student response system’s utilization in class. This study may provide aid for lecturers in integrating the student response system to the flipped classroom model.Keywords: flipped classroom, student response system, learning achievement, anxiety

Technique efficacy when using a student response system in the reading classroom

Although studies using student response systems (SRSs) within the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom are relatively rare, there is increasing evidence from a range of disciplines to highlight the potential behind application of these systems for student learning. Consequently, this study contributes to filling this gap by demonstrating the efficacy of SRS-integration in the EFL reading classroom for formative assessment when supported by teacher-interaction and peer-interaction utilization techniques. Relying on a quasi-experimental design, results suggest that a Plickers SRS-integrated classroom can provide a digitally interactive learning environment and active learning opportunities, particularly when coupled with a peer-interaction technique. It also enhances Korean EFL learner engagement with content while supporting the development of reading comprehension skills. Further, findings indicate that learners are receptive to ongoing SRS utilization as an alternative to traditional methods, viewing it as useful for highlighting their knowledge gaps, focusing their attention, and stimulating their engagement
