A trend study was adopted with an exploratory design. A stratified sampling technique was employed to select 6 Colleges and a meta-analysis on 60 pre-service teachers’ reflective journals for the study. It can therefore be concluded that pre-service teachers practice sole visits to schools for STS programme. Therefore, the pre-service teachers' reflective journals contain literature reports that might not necessarily reflect the activities observed or discussed. Some COE lack means of transport to convey pre-service teachers to and from partner schools. It is therefore recommended that, STS programme be organized for pre-service teachers to benefit from all the days' of teaching and learning, and co-curricular activities in a week in the basic schools. Training for all lead mentors, mentors and students to successfully implement the STS policy should be deepened. Also, the government of Ghana should supply the requisite logistics to COE for the successful implementation of the programme. Supervision by tutors of COE should be structured and intensified to pre-service teachers during the STS programme to make their reflective journals report to cohere into practicable daily school activities.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"54 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139601567","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}

Utilizing technology in interactive learning is anticipated to actively involve learners and enhance their abilities in critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. This study emphasizes the limitations of traditional learning approaches in Process Control Systems and presents a novel framework of MOOC+SPOC Synchronous using a Research and Development (R&D) methodology. The Process Control System course encounters impediments that negatively impact the graduation rate, which is suboptimal. The merging of MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) and SPOC (Small Private Open Course) models into a synchronous MOOC+SPOC learning model seeks to enhance learning outcomes through the utilization of a cloud computing-based Virtual Remote Laboratory (VRLab). The outcome is a model that has been rigorously evaluated and proven effective through empirical research. The research data demonstrated this model's statistically significant positive effect on enhancing student learning outcomes. The Pre-Test and Post-Test results revealed that the experimental group experienced a notable improvement in learning outcomes, with an increase ranging from 10% to 46%. In comparison, the control group also exhibited increased learning outcomes, ranging from 5% to 39%. The statistical analysis reveals a consistent and significant growth in the Experimental group, indicating that students exhibit a favorable level of motivation throughout the learning process, as indicated by the average significance value exceeding 0.5. Based on the test findings acquired from this study, it can be concluded that the Synchronous MOOC+SPOC model is a viable alternative for addressing future difficulties in vocational education. This model is effective and has been proven to work.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"62 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139613194","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 study was conducted at Imam Nawawi Elementary School, in Maros, Indonesia, on 24 May - 24 July 2023, using a before-after experimental study design with additional qualitative information analysis. Five fourth-grade students identified as underachievers from a series of assessments were given intervention in the form of reading, listening and note-taking skills training, with the assumption that if students' ability to grasp lesson material increases with the intervention, it will consequently increase achievement. The intervention was carried out in thirteen group sessions. Intervention effectiveness was evaluated using quantitative data from the pre-test and post-test scores as well as qualitative data from interviews with each participant. The results indicate that this intervention has not been completely effective in improving student comprehension, which was assumed to be the stepping stone toward increasing achievement. The gap between students' understanding of the content and several aspects of the delivery of the material is assumed to be the main obstacles to effective intervention.
