Han,Wei

Abstract

The study aims to design a flipped classroom module of project-based learning (FCPBL) for Workplace General English course in Chinese higher vocational colleges. The study employed the design and development research approach involving need analysis, design and development, and implementation and evaluation phases. In the first phase, a survey of 404 students from five colleges was conducted to investigate their English application skills and readiness for FCPBL module. Additionally, semistructured interviews with 12 English teachers were conducted to investigate their current teaching practices. The findings indicated that students had a moderate level of English proficiency (mean = 2.93) but exhibited a high level of readiness (mean = 3.54). The current English teaching is teacher-centered and lacks workplace-relevant content. These findings highlighted the critical need for FCPBL module to improve students_ English proficiency.

The effects of Wearable resistance loading distribution on biomechanical and mood responses during jumping kicks in Pencak Silat

Saidatul Nur Syuhadah Mohamed Sabadri

Abstract

Wearable resistance (WR) is increasingly used in sports training to enhance performance by adding external loads to sport-specific movements. However, limited research has explored WR applications in Pencak Silat, particularly during jumping kicks. This study aimed to (1) determine and compare the biomechanical effects of WR loading distributions (3% of body mass at shank, thigh, combined shank and thigh, and 0% without load) on jumping front and back kicks, (2) examine the psychological effect of WR on mood responses during warm-up, and (3) evaluate the chronic effects of WR loading distributions on kicking performance after six weeks of training. A total of fifteen (N=15) athletes participated in the biomechanical analysis, sixty (N=60) in the mood response study, and forty (N=40) in the training intervention. Kinematic data, including kicking velocity, kicking time, kicking height, hip angle, and leg displacement, were analyzed using Kinovea software, while the Brunel Mood Scale mea.....

Effects of redundancy and modality principle in multimedia learning: concentration on motivation and gender differences among primary school students.

Ng, Perng Jeu

Abstract

This aim of this study is to examine the impact of on-screen text on the learning performance of grammar learning of Bahasa Malaysia involving a group of primary schoolers. In addition, learners_ characteristics such as motivation and gender were also examined in this study. It was hypothesized that learners who had received redundant text explanation and animation would perform worse on memory and problem solving test. Results showed that the redundancy learning mode that integrates animation, sound narration and on-screen text in a computer-based environment helped improve students_ performance. This finding suggests that on-screen text could reduce cognitive load and enhance learning process, which leads to better performance.

An automatic bilingual corpora generator

Siti Nordianah Hai Hom

Abstract

Bilingual corpora that contains similar documents of two different languages are examples of essential resources for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks including Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval (CLIR) and machine translation. Nevertheless, these resources could also be useful for many processes in learning languages. We introduce an automatic bilingual corpora generator that builds corpus resources from the web. This generator involves the use of the in-domain terms (IDT), in which the terms can be thought of as the most important contextually relevant words. The method used is simple yet practical, and makes acquiring resources from web sources more than just collecting texts and pasting them all together. However, as an on-going project, the system has not been fully implemented and evaluated. In this paper, the researchers emphasizes more on the prototype of the system in terms of appearance and display. For example, the generator shall be built on a webbased system that gi.....

A conceptual design of Teacher-Learner framework for educational serious games

Amri Yusoff

Abstract

This paper introduces a conceptual Teacher-Learner framework for collaborative learning with serious games. An initial study identified 12 attributes of educational serious games that can be used to support effective learning. These attributes can be applied to the development of a conceptual framework for games to support learning. A considerable number of serious games have been developed over the 10 years, with varying degrees of success. Due to a lack of clear standards and guidelines for game developers, it is difficult to justify claims that a specific game meets the learners_ requirements and/ or expectations. This paper provides an account of a conceptual framework for serious games that will guide their designs and the measurement of achievements in meeting the learners_ requirements. Keywords conceptual framework, model, serious games, teacher-learner..
