A faculty at a public university in Singapore strategised to meet these challenges of teaching in a pandemic on two fronts – creating a level of online and hybrid classroom that would integrate as much of the face-to-face (f2f) experience for undergraduate residents as possible to retain a sense of community, as well as using asynchronous material to support students in their learning. To encourage student engagement, education technologies such as gamification are also utilised. This article considers the employment and impact of those strategies in classrooms where ST modules are taught: “Committed to Changing Our World: The Systems Pioneers” (n = 24), “Thinking in Systems: Disaster Resilience” (n = 48) and “Thinking in Systems: Diseases and Healthcare” (n = 32) leading to a total number of 104 students, mostly in their first and second years and from various disciplines, invited to participate in the study. This article shows pedagogical examples of how we as educators can innovate by using available online tools, while embracing the principles of good teaching to best support our students in their learning.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44725415","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}

However, as children increasingly become urbanites, they also get progressively separated from nature. A loss DNEs of is worrisome because it can influence conservation willingness (CW) in multiple ways that are not fully understood. This study aimed to examine the serial mediation of biodiversity knowledge (BK) and affective attitudes (AA) in the relationship between DNE frequentness and CW. Data was gathered using an online survey questionnaire administered to 429 11–12 years old schoolchildren in the Maldives. A two-serial mediation analysis confirmed an underreported, predictive sequential pathway from DNEs through BK to AA to CW. Also, DNE frequentness exerted positive direct effects on BK and AA. While BK exerted neither significant direct nor independent mediating effects on CW, AA exerted both effects on CW. The direct effects of BK on AA are vital to re-orient innate, misconstrued, or biased negative attitudes to promote CW. Overall, DNE frequentness has positive effects on CW due to indirect effects rather than direct ones. The findings have implications for educators and other stakeholders to facilitate appropriate, contextually meaningful DNEs that enhance understanding of BK and stimulate positive shifts in attitude as a means to promote CW. This is an indispensable step towards successful education for sustainable development and long-term biodiversity conservation.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48889280","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}

The transition to online learning requires quick adaptation, and students often face challenges which cause hindrance in their learning. This paper aims at highlighting students’ adaptability in online learning which can help university students and management to respond effectively to the variable factors, namely, self-regulation and self-efficacy. Based on the social cognitive theory of motivation, this study examines the relationships between students’ self-regulation, self-efficacy and adaptability in online learning. Self-efficacy is examined as a mediator and moderator variable in the relationship between self-regulation and students’ adaptability. The samples comprised of 238 students from private universities in Malaysia through a survey questionnaire. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. The results showed a direct and positive relationship for all direct relationships between variables. In addition, self-regulation and students’ adaptability is significantly mediated by self-efficacy. However, in this study, the moderator analysis found no support. This study provides theoretical and practical implications to gain a better understanding of students’ adaptability in online learning and proposed intervention for higher education institution to address and promote self-regulation and self-efficacy among students. By implementing such interventions, it is hoped that students are better able to adapt, stay motivated and in getting the most out of online learning.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45040938","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}

However, with the unforeseen paradigm shifts in the Philippine education system due to COVID-19, millions of Filipino learners are confronted with various school-related concerns. Their established study habits are undoubtedly disrupted, if not yet depleted. This led the researchers to instigate this research and gather the data pertinent to the attainment of its general objective. In total, there were 4,056 secondary students from nine junior and senior high schools who voluntarily participated in the conduct of this study. With the intention of this quantitative research to gauge the degree of study habits of the respondents, and its potential significance of differences when grouped according to an identified set of independent variables, a set of statistical tools were espoused. For the results, the respondents accumulated an overall mean of 4.14 or often, which implies positive academic practice given its frequent recurrence. Hereafter, t-test and ANOVA statistics also declared that their study habits are significantly different when the mean scores are juxtaposed according to sex (p-value = 2.536E-12 < 0.05), socio-economic status (p-value = 0.03 < 0.05), education level (p-value = 0.02 < 0.05), and preferred modality of learning delivery (p-value = 0.02 < 0.05). This infers that the disparities in the study habits of secondary students are exceedingly distinguishable when clustered as per their demographic information and chosen instructional channel—inclined to the rejection of the null hypotheses.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44058916","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}

A qualitative approach was used to describe the integration of self-generated online projects as final group projects and report the learners’ opinions towards their online project-based learning. The participants were 58 pre-service English language teachers who took the Linguistics and Language Teaching course at a Thai university during the first semester of the 2020 academic year. The course initially required the students to organise an English teaching camp at a rural school after they had learned ELT theories and approaches throughout the semester. However, due to the COVID-19 spread, the learners’ original project had to be shifted to creating online English teaching. The online projects were designed to be self-generated, encouraging learners to use their English teaching knowledge and skills to design online lessons for rural school students. The project-based multimedia learning approach (Simkins et al., 2002) was adopted to guide the self-generated projects. The learners’ opinion towards integrating the online projects during the difficult situation was elicited using a reflection form and a small group interview. The findings reveal project integration procedures, the challenges the students faced, their ways of dealing with those challenges, and the advantages and disadvantages of the integration. The students used a variety of working strategies to collaborate their work. They admitted that the COVID-19 lockdown, project time limitations, and limited technology skills delayed their work. However, they believed that the online projects enhanced their teaching and digital skills, increased motivation as well as problem-solving and collaboration skills.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48311814","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}

The use of social media has since become an essential and integral component of students’ lives, both as a tool to facilitate learning as well as for social connections. The current study examines the use of social media and its association with depression among newly enrolled first-year university students during the national lockdown. Three hundred and eighty-six (N = 386) participants aged between 19–21 years from one faculty of a public university were recruited online for the study. Self-reports on daily time spent and emotional investment (frequency of visits) on social media were obtained. Depression was assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression Scale. Results from binary logistic regression showed that high levels of investment in a variety of social media activities were associated with symptoms of depression. Compared to the users at the lowest level, students in the higher usage groups had significantly increased odds of depression (AOR = 2.94, 95% CI = 1.22–7.08; AOR = 2.49, 95% CI = 1.04–5.94, respectively), even after controlling for all covariates. Total time spent, however, was not found to associate with depression. Additionally, indigenous students from East Malaysia who mostly reside in rural areas recorded a significantly higher odds of experiencing depression during the pandemic (AOR = 3.32, 95% CI = 1.23–8.90, p = .02) compared to the Malays. Given the pervasive use of social media during the COVID-19 lockdown, the findings of the study suggest that educators at higher education institutions can leverage on the ubiquitous use of social media among students to disseminate targeted educational messages regarding mental health.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43057425","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}

Subsequently, Differential item functioning (DIF) was conducted to assess students’ engagement in e-learning as well as specifically assessing student’s demographic factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, level of education and field of study. Findings indicate students have high levels of behavioural engagement as compared with cognitive and emotional engagement in e-learning. Further analysis indicated there were differences in students’ engagement based on demographic factors such as gender, age, and field of study.

As such, this study was intended to examine the psychological and behavioural effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on students. The study was conducted in Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU) in Bangladesh, employing a survey research design. Primary data were collected from a total of 150 undergraduate students selected from 17 academic departments of the NSTU based on snowball sampling. The study shows that the COVID-19 pandemic, with several protective measures to reduce the community transmission, has various adverse psychological effects on the students. The complexity of the pandemic is positively associated with the increase of their several psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, tension, fear or panic, restlessness, boredom, and loneliness. The study reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic is also positively associated with the increase of several behavioural conditions of the students such as their time spent on social media, level of change in daily routine works, level of inattentiveness to study, and level of non participation in daily study. The study indicates that the association between the COVID-19 pandemic and the changes of several psychological and behavioural conditions of the students are statistically significant. Hence, the study opines that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the mental health and well-being of the students. Further, the study suggests that the NSTU should set up an educational guidance and counselling centre in order to address the adverse psychological and behavioural conditions of the students during the pandemic or any other critical situation. Moreover, the families and teachers should play an important role to keep up the mental health and well-being of the students through motivation and individual counselling.","PeriodicalId":36930,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Educators and Education","volume":"71 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41269404","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}
