The key teaching contents with research significance are condensed and the special topics are carefully designed to form the research-oriented teaching mode. The basic elements of scientific research and the use of modern tools are integrated into each teaching link. The interactive teaching mode based on exploration and research is gradually formed, with students as the main body and teachers as the leading role. Taking the “Acoustic Signal Processing” course as an example, practice shows that the unique teaching form of inserting engineering cases and using modern teaching tools can help students to deeply understand the basic principles and methods of acoustic signal processing, and systematically experience the process of scientific research. It also improves students' scientific research ability and comprehensive quality. So that the quality of course teaching is improved.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115021438","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}

To answer the trend in Emerging Engineering Education, we focus on studying what content to teach and how to organize the resources. Combining the theoretical lectures with the programmable rendering pipeline, we integrated industrial applications-oriented experimental teaching into the course. Specifically, we systematically reorganized the knowledge fragments by layering and chunking them through the three conceptual stages of the rendering pipeline. We rearranged the teaching resources according to the Guide-Explanation-Assistance-Experience-Exploration cycle. The course has been offered three times on China's University MOOC platform with excellent ratings. The statistics show that the mixed teaching and practice introduced in this course has achieved remarkable success.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130003942","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}

One hundred twenty-nine students participated in this study: 7 students-low SES; 63 students-high SES; 59 students-excellent SES. Specifically, it aims to determine the levels of students' socioemotional skills, perceptions of the lessons' clarity and difficulty, and performance using lesson playlists and task cards. Also, it aims to assess the relationship between students' posttest scores and perceived lessons' clarity and difficulty. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and qualitative data through thematic analysis. This study revealed that the lesson playlists and task cards on earth and space lessons were useful as an intervention in online distance learning, considering students' socioemotional skills. This study also revealed that students with different socioemotional skills would have unifying perceptions of how they perceive the lessons' clarity and difficulty. If the students perceived the lessons are crystal clear, they would also perceive that the lessons are easy to understand.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126056669","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}

When going through the process of creating practice exercises, students tend to engage better with the content, make more autonomous choices, improve metacognitive skills, develop higher-order thinking, personalise their learning and adjust the level of challenge, generally becoming more active participants of learning. The results of student surveys and classroom observations conducted within our case study ($mathrm{n}=36$) in the English for International Professional Communication course support these reports. Economics and Finance students demonstrated positive attitudes to generating English language practice activities and found these activities helpful for both those who created them and those who did them in class. The students perceived the key advantages as deeper language and text understanding, better retention of content, improved creative and analytical thinking, as well as higher perceived self-sufficiency. Despite potential challenges associated with student-generated activities, some pedagogical adaptations and scaffolding can mitigate the adverse effects and ensure that the task of creating activities is meaningful and engaging. These findings and techniques will be of interest not only to language teachers, but also to instructors of various subjects.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132118994","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}

This transition was unplanned for all educational institutions, due to which teachers and students had to face several teaching/learning challenges. Thereby a quantitative study was designed to investigate the learning satisfaction of students in both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments from public universities of Karachi, Pakistan. The participants of the study were selected through simple random sampling, and 108 students from different universities filled the complete questionnaires. The data were analyzed through various statistical tests, i.e., (mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation, and T-test. The Findings identified that students showed significantly higher satisfaction in the synchronous learning environment. Thereby, the study mainly suggests that the learning process should be facilitated by synchronous e-learning mode by providing adequate institutional support to optimize their learning satisfaction by raising their digital competence. Besides, teachers should employ activity-based teaching Strategies for keeping students involved in the learning process.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122368514","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}
