The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire was administered three times to measure students’ motivation belief and use of learning strategies (N=314) and collected 850 viable surveys. Firstly, an investigation of the dynamics of the factors involved with students’ motivational belief and use of learning strategies was completed. It was found that freshmen students’ motivation dropped until the mid-term and it increased again as the course progressed towards the end, whereas, upper-level students’ motivation continued to drop throughout the course. In terms of the predictability of final scores, at construct level, stepwise regression chose motivation as predictors of freshmen’s final score and strategy used as a predictor for upper-level students. The paper also discusses the implications of the study related to self-regulation learning theory, learning analytics, and instructional design.","PeriodicalId":36846,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information and Education Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67493102","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}

At the same time, we intended to sensitize teachers to the relevance and comprehensiveness that robotic and coding activities can have in an educational environment. The festival took place in a school located at São Miguel Island, Azores. The proposed activities and the participation of the children in the four stations available were evaluated using direct observation and surveys by questionnaire. From the observations made by the researchers and the answers to the questionnaires of the 155 children who participated, 11 teachers, and 22 collaborators who facilitated the activities, it was concluded that the activities implemented were of interest to the children and were considered relevant by the teachers, but some aspects concerning the operation of the robots and the scenarios created should be taken care of in the future so that the pedagogical component is effective and of quality.","PeriodicalId":36846,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information and Education Technology","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67490673","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}

E-learning has been adapted to provide learning materials and train students over the Internet. However, for people with impairments such as hearing and vision, this can be a problem. With this situation, the study developed an e-learning application with an assistive laboratory for assessments, specifically for college students. The subject matter used for the developed system is cybersecurity. cybersecurity is now one of the most in-demand courses due to the rising cases of cyberattacks. The developed system allows students to learn cybersecurity and conduct laboratory exercises in a virtual machine with text-to-speech and closed-caption technology. The study used two post-tests in a controlled group of respondents to determine if the developed system accommodates online cybersecurity learning compared to the traditional learning methods available. Comparing scores from the first group who used the developed system to the second group who used the current learning methods shows that the former received higher scores and has deemed the developed system. The developed system that has presented a guided cybersecurity learning scenario is more effective than current learning methods.

This has a lot of potential and can solve many problems in history classes. This article presents a videography-based learning history activities on site (LHAOS) learning model that utilizes the Negeri Baru Temple site. The research method used is the research and development (R&D) method, following the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) approach, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The literature review is also conducted with descriptive analysis. The sources used include books, articles, archives, and other relevant sources. The results of this study include: first, a study of the Negeri Baru Temple site in Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan, and second, a videography-based LHAOS learning model that utilizes the Negeri Baru Temple site. This learning model consists of three stages: observation, exploration, and reflection. This study reached an average score of 90 from the four aspects of the validator's assessment. The implementation results for the practical test and the effectiveness of the media consisting of seven aspects of the assessment, show an average score of 93.4.

The role of various educational tools and artificial intelligence in the educational process is becoming more and more significant for overall educational success. In this paper, a review of the scientific literature on the application of computer technology for music education is given, with an emphasis on learning to play musical instruments. It has been observed that for many created systems, proper evaluation was not conducted to determine the created systems’ effectiveness in achieving desired learning outcomes. An innovative part of this paper is a description of a new conceptual model of an adaptive system for self-paced learning to play musical instruments. A prototype of an adaptive drum kit learning system has been created based on the presented model. The main goal of this research was to determine the effectiveness of created prototype in achieving students’ learning outcomes. In the evaluation process, the use of created prototype was compared to other self-paced learning methods to learn how to play the drum kit. The obtained data were analyzed by ANOVA method, along with other appropriate statistical methods. The results of the research showed that the use of an adaptive drum kit learning system has a positive impact on achieving learning outcomes. The participants who learned to play using the created prototype were more precise in playing, played more accurate rhythmic patterns, and were rated with higher marks by an independent expert compared to the control groups.
