With respect to this situation, this research conducted an experiment of using Virtual Reality (VR) materials for 69 English as a STEM-major Foreign Language (EFL) learners at a Japanese university. Polishing usability of Virtual Reality (VR) English language education materials could improve the learners’ performance of English language use. However, careless use of VR materials could fail, unless the educators consider its technical and pedagogical limitations. The experiment used pairs of Virtual reality headset with two scenarios (international conference and restaurant). From pre-post experiment surveys on speaking anxiety scale, students with higher Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) listening scores showed more anxiety on speaking. Also, post-experiment open-ended questionnaires suggested that usability of VR materials should be improved.","PeriodicalId":93451,"journal":{"name":"International journal of learning and teaching","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90229578","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 university initially designed the subject to be supplied face-to-face using active learning that is applied after dividing the students into small groups. However, the course was reorganized into a non-face-to-face format following the Japanese government’s declaration of a state of emergency in response to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we compare face-to-face classes provided in FY 2019 with non-face-to-face lessons given in FYs 2020 and 2021 using course evaluation questionnaires filled out by students. The results indicate that face-to-face classes are better at promoting three educational goals: small-class education, interaction with people with different views, and group learning activities. The non-face-to-face lessons are preferable for: learning what one should do as a student (student life), understanding the history and characteristics of the university (sense of belonging), learning how to express one’s opinion logically, learning how to listen to others respectfully and with interest (attentive listening), learning to avoid being absent or late to class without permission (discipline), gaining an in-depth understanding of the subject matter. Our results suggest the potential for developing non-face-to-face classes comparable to face-to-face ones if we can adequately apply online meeting tools combined with other teaching tools.","PeriodicalId":93451,"journal":{"name":"International journal of learning and teaching","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76452664","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}

It made it possible for academic institutions to personalize content according to students’ individual needs and improve administrative tasks such as grading assignments. This has increased efficiency in teaching and learning but has also raised relevant concerns about data privacy issues. Researchers have pointed out the potential hindrance of this concern to the further development and implementation of AI technology in Education. In this research project, the authors conducted a mixed method to investigate the above issue by assessing students’ class engagement in various online learning contexts when considering AI privacy issues or not. The first part of this project presented a quantitative approach (quasi-experimental design) while this paper focused on the qualitative approach (interviews) conducted with the same group of 99 students from the postgraduate school via Zoom. Individual student interviews were conducted with randomly chosen 9 students from the two experimental groups in phase one of this research, and thematic analysis was used to analyze the relevant data based on the 4-factor theoretical framework (skills, emotion, participation, and performance) from The Online Student Engagement Scale (OSE). The study discovered that the majority of the students regarded the privacy consent taken into consideration when implementing AI applications in an online learning context had enhanced their class engagement. In addition, the findings indicated that students’ emotions and participation engagements increased the most out of the four OSE factors.","PeriodicalId":93451,"journal":{"name":"International journal of learning and teaching","volume":"219 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79786469","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}

PAD class can be divided into four teaching sessions: presentation, self-study, peer-to-peer discussion, and teacher-student dialogue. However, in practice, problems arose, especially in peer-to-peer discussion sessions, where students trivialize this new model, as they do not want to discuss, or simply do not know how to discuss, resulting in low-quality discussions. Taking enterprise strategy management courses in practice as an example, this paper put forward corresponding improvement measures. Moreover, the effectiveness of the PAD class model and the improved teaching model was analyzed based on questionnaire statistics. Practices have proven that the PAD class teaching model can make classroom teaching more active. Furthermore, on the basis of the regular PAD class model, raising students’ awareness of the importance of discussion, optimizing grouping methods, establishing a rotating chairman system, and setting suitable discussion topics can all significantly change students’ attitudes for the better and move closer to the teaching goals.","PeriodicalId":93451,"journal":{"name":"International journal of learning and teaching","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135494720","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 COVID pandemic and subsequent online delivery have added further challenges to the work-based placement and practical skill delivery, particularly in the STEM subject areas. The purpose of this study is to consider the recent past employment history and leavers data by looking into salient but yet unanswered questions about the activity of student leavers, employment type, relevance, and contribution of the degree programme and gain insight into course modification, employability support and market analysis. The latest Graduate Outcome Survey is in its infancy, and the current response rate is reportedly low. Therefore, a subset of Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DHLE) data from an inner London university is analyzed and the results are visualized with findings. Among the participants of a computing case study, Computer Science graduates produced the highest earnings in comparison to any other courses. Additionally, undergraduate courses with the title of Computer Forensics or Business Computing produced the highest number of skilled workers in positions relevant to their qualification and produced the highest levels of employed Higher Education (HE) leavers after graduation, demonstrating that degrees that combine IT skills and other speciality skills have higher levels of proven employability.","PeriodicalId":93451,"journal":{"name":"International journal of learning and teaching","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135494732","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}
