Indeed, many educators implemented this approach to teach different subjects including languages. The aim of this current study is to examine the impact of flipped learning implemented with novice learners of French as a Foreign language. This study is undertaken in an A1.1 French elective university course involving 230 beginner students taking online classes. We assessed the results for each topic (9 different topics) through a quiz presented to the students at the end of each lecture. The students that did not have a home preparatory activity scored on average 57% for the quizzes given at the end of the lecture. The flipped learning students scored on average 65% for the same quizzes given at the end of the lecture. In addition, the flipped learning students were assessed through a different quiz at the beginning of the lecture about their preparatory activity and scored on average 57%. Besides, all students answered an anonymous survey about their commitment and feedback regarding the flipped classroom experience. The results show that 93% of the students that responded to the survey have solved the flipped activities before coming to the lecture. 98% of these students agreed that flipped learning helped them to participate and interact during the lecture. On another hand, 92% of the students that did not experienced flipped learning agreed that they would have preferred having a preparatory activity.","PeriodicalId":196152,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Research in Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123912703","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}

Another trend considers teaching as the never ending process of reduction of defects and so Quality Teaching can never be totally grasped and appraised. Accordingly, the issue of measuring quality teaching is highly crucial, and the choice of valid indicators to assess the quality of teaching is not yet standardized and is still challenging. Furthermore the emerging consensus explores that traditional teacher evaluation methods are inadequate and inconsequential in ensuring a quality teaching workforce. In this regard, the current paper attempts to introduce firstly a set of competitive definitions of quality teaching, and secondly shedding light on the new criteria for evaluation that rely more on student learning and outcomes, and also on multiple measures that are expected to ensure a more holistic assessment of teacher performance and initiatives. Finally, a series of considerations and recommendations are stated for the betterment of quality teaching.","PeriodicalId":196152,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Research in Education","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130079631","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}

Despite extensive research, the process of designing an effective online course that can be seen as a ‘set of seamless aesthetic components that create a connected emotional flow’, as Dewey proposed, is still a challenge. Such an experience would be the result of a careful combination of structure and interactions. While course structure in eLearning can be considered clearly defined, the dynamics that emerge from the interaction of students with other participants and with course elements such as information resources are not linear. This study uses action research along with data analytics and process mining in order to better understand how these emerging paths and underlying dynamics impact instructional effectiveness and student motivation in a postgraduate course in UX, which was designed as an experiential learning system. Action research was chosen based on its defining characteristic of bringing about change in the system while at the same time learning from the process of deriving the change. Observations and sequence analysis informed the creation of a conceptual model of the course using soft systems methodology in order to reach ‘desirable and feasible’ solutions and inform future design. Preliminary results show that soft systems methodology is an effective framework to develop meaningful conceptual models of experiential systems supported by data and process analytics. These models can be later used as tools for further analysis and refinement.","PeriodicalId":196152,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Research in Education","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130409944","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}

Agencies and organizations that carry out defense and development activities consistently avoid security issues (high politics) that are closely related to ideology and politics. Security focuses on defending the country against military threats that emanate from outside its territory. When the cold war ended, the concept of security was transformed. After the Cold War, there was a change in the balance of power and the opening of doors for international organizations other than the state to interact. The view of security shifted so that it demanded the democratization of the security sector and allowed changes to the security institutions to follow the principles of democracy. Traditional interpretations in terms of interaction between nations are no longer talking about security (security) related to military power (high politics) but security is also influenced by economic, social and cultural, technological progress (low politics). This study uses a qualitative method. Based on the results of research and discussion regarding the implementation of cultural diplomacy of West Papua and defense diplomacy policies at the Ministry of Defense of the Republic Indonesia, the following conclusions can be drawn: Researchers in analyzing used the concept of Edward III (1980). Important functions for a country, among others, are the diplomatic functions of representation, where in this function, delegates from one country negotiate with other countries with a purpose that is to explain some of these countries. Then the diplomacy function in the negotiation function, in this function a country has the right to negotiate related to the country in terms of negotiations related to trade or bilateral cooperation of a country. And lastly there is a diplomacy function in the reporting function, where in this function a diplomat conducts negotiations about the culture, military, and commercial issues in his country.","PeriodicalId":196152,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Research in Education","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132024150","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}

STEM activities may be DIY, Exploration, Scientific Experiment, Project, and Challenge. It was to promote skills and competency in the 21st century to students for discovery and then take another step to the creative invention and innovation. Also, Academic Camping is usually a part of school activity, especially for the extra-curriculum purpose. For these expected outcomes, here we design STEM activities for students participating in our STEM CAMP applying Guided Inquiry-Based Learning to emphasize on students how to learn and how to effectively and collaboratively solve the problem. The situation of the detective mission was given, and the spectrophotometer was the main tool for them to use for the case investigation. It was found that the students were able to correctly demonstrate how to use laboratory instruments, analyze results, and make a standard curve. They also learned how to collaboratively solve the problem to make their mission accomplished. It was observed that with this activity designed, cognitively, affectively, and skills, students were promoted considerably. Therefore, this kind of STEM activity could be used to prepare students for learning in the future and creating new ideas for innovation.","PeriodicalId":196152,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Research in Education","volume":"2012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127387546","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}
