Toolbox for adopting computational thinking through learning flash

Abstract

1. The need for teachers of Elementary School children to learn to program or rather to understand the Computational Thinking behind programming has been accelerated in many countries by the mandated teaching of programming in the Elementary School context. Many steps have been taken in order to create awareness of this issue, such as the Computing At Schools initiative (CAS) which is established in the UK. CAS aims to support teaching in computing and connected fields in UK schools. Moreover, in the USA the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) was established to meet the purpose of informing and advising about the current development of computational thinking and to investigate and disseminate teaching and learning resources related to computational thinking. In Singapore research has been conducted by the government agency Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) whereby the major goal is to meet the needs in the ICT sector and ultimately to focus and in.....

Computational thinking – Essential and pervasive toolset

Erni Marlina Saari

Abstract

Education 21st century is all about enfolding digital technology. The theme “Higher Education 4.0: Knowledge, Industry and Humanity”, mandated from Malaysia’s former Higher Education Minister Datuk Idris Jusoh. The minister identified that universities have to be trained to adapt and change the curriculum so that graduates are capable to fill in jobs which are yet to arise. This Fourth Industrial Revolution 4.0 as part of the call to revamp the Malaysia higher education system. There are nine Malaysia future-proof skills that has been listed under Ministry of Higher Education module on Framing Malaysian Higher Education 4.0 – future-proof talents. There are creativity and innovation; Holistic Entrepreneurial and Balanced; Resilience; leadership; Compassion and mindfulness; values and ethics; flexibility and adaptability; critical thinking and problem solving and finally communication and language proficiency. The above mentioned points are future-proof skills sets for Malaysian.....

The development of career pathway framework for early childhood care and education: Malaysia context

Erni Marlina Saari

Abstract

The educational sector plays an important role in delivering quality education in order to build better nations by striving for excellence. Career development is filled with many challenges encompassing financial, economic, logistical and social factors. The challenges are mainly on quality, qualification, language and ethnicity. Specifically, unclear career pathway, limited information, internet access and job positions, training, special needs training, policies, promotion, no funding, no standardized wage charter guidelines, pursue study and lack of support. This study focuses on the framework of the orientations and challenges related to career pathway faced by in-service educators namely edu-carer and assistant. Methodology used in this study are document analysis and thematic analysis of interview data from public and private Early Childhood Care and Education in Malaysia. The results show there are five important elements that contribute to the development of career path among t.....

Model development of android-based learning in vocational high school

Erni Marlina Saari

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an Android-based learning model for subjects of Creative Products and Entrepreneurship for catering students at Vocational Schools. The study analyzed the validity of Android- based learning models and analyzed practicality and the effectiveness of Android-based learning models for Creative Product and Entrepreneurship subjects for catering students at SMK Negeri 9 Padang. Based on the validity assessment of material experts, media experts, linguists, and practitioners, the average score of material aspects is 4.78 (Very Eligible), the media aspect is 4.22 (Very Eligible), and the language aspect is 4.23 (Very decent). The results of practicality tests for teachers and students, as well as the effectiveness test of the use of Android-based learning media on students of Creative Product and Entrepreneurship subjects conducted using a questionnaire, obtained a practicality value of 4.55 (feasible) and effectiveness of 4.62 (feasible).

Development of energy saving application through gamification-factors: A systematic review

Erni Marlina Saari

Abstract

Multiple approaches can be applied to raise the awareness about energy conservation, especially when engaging the younger generation. To date, there is a lack of a comprehensive review on the development of energy-saving applications through a gamification approach among undergraduate students. Thus, this study aims to systematically review the factors that influence the development of energy-saving applications using the PRISMA framework. The works of literature assessed in the study are indexed by Scopus, Mendeley and ERIC databases. This paper reviewed the related studies done by previous researchers related to the energy saving factors and how the application through gamification would impact the learners. Three themes are discussed in the current work: the awareness of energy saving, the effectiveness of the gamification application towards energy and behaviour among undergraduate students towards energy saving. © 2024, Semarak Ilmu Publishing.

Effects of pervasive game on behavioral intention towards fitness among older adults in Henan: An empirical study

Erni Marlina Saari

Abstract

Improving the fitness of older adults is a primary concern in countries with rapidly growing aging populations. This study examines older adults’ behavioral intention to engage in fitness activities using a bespoke pervasive game called Agoing. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model, this study developed the UTAUT-LK model, ‘LK’ is an acronym for linear and knowledge. The UTAUT-LK model tested five independent variables in a single-group quasi-experiment. Data were collected from 378 participants using a 20-item questionnaire and subsequently analyzed through a structural equation model. The results indicate that effort expectancy (EE, p =.033), social influence (SI, p =.029), and hedonic motivation (HM, p ..

Cognitive load theory based model in mathematics software

Erni Marlina Saari

Abstract

The Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) is widely accepted by instructional designers as it provides a strong theoretical foundation for developing effective instructional design guidelines. Instruction that efficiently presents learning materials within our working memory influences our ability to store knowledge and skills in long-term memory. CLT suggests that the most effective instructional materials are those that direct cognitive resources toward learning-related activities rather than toward tasks that are only preparatory to learning.In applying CLT to the design of instructional courseware, I discovered that it provides a solid foundation for developing effective learning instruction. Furthermore, to enhance courseware-based instruction effectively, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and multimedia elements must be developed in consideration of CLT principles.Since the capacity of working memory is very limited, CLT assumes that presenting multiple sources of information in the same .....
