One of the important processes in this stage is to develop a preliminary form of the product, conduct preliminary field testing, make the main product revision, conduct the main field testing, and perform operational product revisions. Based on the findings from the initial stage, an integrated learning model was developed for the cryptography course. Data for the model validation stage included model books, textbooks, lecturer’s guides, and student guides, calculated using content and construct validation techniques. Analysis of validity test data involves calculating the average score of all validator answers using Aiken’s coefficient v.

These models integrate traditional face-to-face teaching with modern online learning approaches, enhancing learning flexibility and interactivity through mobile technologies. Although blended learning has shown significant advantages in enhancing teaching efficiency and meeting individual student needs, research on its impact on student emotional interaction remains relatively limited. Emotional factors play a crucial role in the learning process, affecting student motivation and outcomes. Current research on emotional interactions in blended learning primarily relies on traditional methods, such as surveys, which frequently do not offer real-time and precise emotional data. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the effective selection of emotional sensing nodes and the accurate extraction of emotional features through mobile interactive technology-supported blended learning. The findings of this study aim to enhance the quality of teaching interactions but also to provide theoretical and practical support for optimizing blended learning models.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":"69 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141350495","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}

Because of this, universities that implement learning management systems (LMS) through standard web-based platforms should explore the potential for integrating mobile devices and technologies into m-learning platforms. Through the utilization of this technology, LMS can facilitate continuous user interaction and enhance user awareness of any revisions made to the material. To reach the majority of LMS users, mobile applications must be developed for all major mobile platforms. By utilizing the Web View API, this research combined native mobile and web technologies to develop the mobile application. This strategy was adopted in anticipation of the requirement to create and maintain the application across multiple mobile platforms. It was anticipated that this approach would reduce the time needed for creation, maintain a consistent interface, and enable the use of platform-specific features. It also makes sense to provide mobile device access to some of the LMS virtual classroom’s functions. The K-means algorithm is used for analyzing course material and learning. Nevertheless, achieving this goal might not be an easy process. To enable this form of connection between the LMS and the m-learning applications, this chapter assesses the challenges involved in achieving that goal and presents various common interchange designs and related research and development efforts.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141001582","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}

Therefore, students were required to have higher-order thinking skills. The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of e-scaffolding in problem-based learning (PBL) on students’ HOTS in the context of standing waves. This study utilized a quasi-experimental approach employing a non-equivalent control group design. The experimental group, which was taught with e-scaffolding in PBL, consisted of 31 students, while the control group, taught only with the PBL model, had 29 students. A total of eight multiple-choice questions that had been proven valid with a reliability of 0.752 were used to assess students’ HOTS. The data were then analyzed using ANCOVA, with pretest scores as covariates. The results showed statistically significant differences among students with increased higher-order thinking skills in favor of using e-scaffolding in PBL: 0.000 (α < 0.005). The eta squared statistic (0.785) indicates a large effect size. By employing PBL with electronic scaffolding, students actively participate in collaborative activities focused on successful problem-solving, resulting in a high success rate. Consequently, it is recommended to consider e-scaffolding as a primary method for developing higher-order thinking skills.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":" 32","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141000181","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}

Traditional teaching methods are increasingly inadequate for providing personalized and efficient learning experiences. This gap is being addressed by the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, especially through deep and reinforcement learning. These technologies provide a framework for intelligent English teaching systems by mimicking human learning processes to customize personalized learning experiences, optimize learning paths, and enhance efficiency. However, challenges remain in fine-tuning teaching strategies to meet the varying needs of individual learners and dynamically adapting to their evolving interests in the short term. This study introduces a novel framework for an intelligent English teaching system that leverages the potential of interactive mobile technology alongside a deep Q-network (DQN) algorithm to dynamically adjust English teaching strategies. This approach enables real-time personalization of teaching strategies to create optimal learning paths for individual learners. Moreover, it incorporates a model based on neural collaborative filtering to capture and adapt to learners’ short-term dynamic interests, thereby recommending relevant learning content in real-time. This framework enhances learning efficiency and personalizes content delivery, demonstrating considerable theoretical and practical value for the future of educational technology.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141000076","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}
