The implementation of augmented reality-based flipbook learning media in improving vocational school students\u27 critical thinking skills in the era of society 5.0
Full text linkIn the era of Society 5.0, digitalization has changed the world of education and requires schools to develop creative, critical thinking skills. Vocational schools such as Vocational High Schools (SMK) play an important role in creating students who are ready to face the demands of this era. The use of learning technology, including media such as PowerPoint and modules, has become common but still needs innovation to reach the optimal level. Therefore, the implementation of virtual-based learning media is important. One of the innovations in learning media is the use of flipbooks with Augmented Reality (AR) in vocational schools. The main objective of this research is to measure the level of critical thinking skills of vocational school students. The results showed that the experimental class using Flipbook with AR achieved a significant increase in N-gain value (0.6), indicating the effectiveness of Flipbook with AR in improving students’ understanding. It can be seen from the average results of critical thinking aspects in the experimental class which has a percentage of 85%, while in the control class, it is 55%. Thus, this Flipbook with AR successfully improves students\u27 ability in critical thinking aspects in SMK and shows great potential in the development of interactive learning technology for education
Energy conservation strategies on academic buildings using interpretive structural modeling to develop energy sustainability
Full text linkEffective energy conservation strategies are required to be implemented in academic buildings as they consume significant energy while considering the convenience and function of the buildings. However, the influencing factors are interrelated and complex, requiring an appropriate approach to unravel the complexity. Therefore, this study aims to identify, analyse, and map the interaction relationship between factors affecting energy conservation in academic buildings. This study used Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) procedure starting from developing the Structural Self Interaction Matrix (SSIM), converting SSIM into a Reachability Matrix, revising the matrix, and categorizing the factors by using MICMAC analysis. This study involved 9 factors, including architectural design, illumination technology, education and awareness, energy monitoring and management, renewable energy use, efficient HVAC system, energy-saving equipment, institutional policies, and campus community participation. The study found that renewable energy use at level 3 was the factor that was not influenced by and did not interact with any other factors. Meanwhile, the illumination technology was a factor that interacted with the efficient HVAC System factor which was at level 1 where these two factors were influenced by other seven factors. This study aligns with current developments in energy conservation, including an increased focus on renewable energy and energy efficiency in academic buildings, supported by global and national policies aimed at achieving sustainability goals. It provides a comprehensive understanding on developing sustainable energy conservation strategies in academic buildings
Enhancing basic computer network learning outcomes of vocational high school students by implementing a video-based learning model
Full text linkMany students still achieved scores below the minimal completeness criteria when learning basic computer networks. This was because the teacher still uses traditional media, such as printed worksheets in the teaching process which made the learning boring and harder for students to comprehend what the teacher was teaching. Therefore, this research aimed to implement video-based learning within the educational process. This study employed a pre-experiment methodology by using a single pre- and post-test group. Thirty-three students majoring in computer and network engineering served as the research subjects. The paired sample t-test and N-gain score were the data analysis methods employed to examine the efficacy of the video-based instruction. The results demonstrated a significant improvement from students\u27 knowledge before to that of after being engaged in video-based learning. Thus, it is possible to conclude that a video-based instruction can greatly enhance students\u27 understanding on fundamental computer network science. According to the study\u27s findings, the video-based learning ought to be incorporated into the curriculum of vocational education, particularly in the Department of Computer Network Engineering, to ensure that the students fully comprehend the subject matter and that the learning process runs smoothly
Extended reality for education: Mapping current trends, challenges, and applications
Full text linkThe advancements in 5G technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have accelerated the integration of immersive technologies such as Extended Reality (XR) into educational practices. There is a notable scarcity of studies focusing specifically on the applications and impact of XR in academic settings. Most existing research has concentrated on AR and VR, leaving a gap in understanding the full potential of XR. Addressing these gaps and challenges is crucial for harnessing the full potential of XR in education. This study aims to map and analyze the applications, trends, and educational challenges of XR technology. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis covering XR\u27s application in education from 2018 to 2023, analyzing 32 articles from Scopus sources. Key findings highlight XR\u27s annual growth in research publications, with significant contributions from the United States, China, and Canada. XR enriches education by facilitating immersive simulations, real time interaction with virtual objects, and spatial manipulation in three dimensions. It fosters presence and embodiment in virtual environments, supports practical training through realistic simulations, enhances multi-sensory engagement, promotes collaborative learning environments, and improves accessibility for diverse learners. The main challenges of XR technology include high costs, technical hurdles, regulatory issues, infrastructure limitations, and the need for digital literacy and skills. Addressing these challenges, collaborative efforts among educators, researchers, and industry stakeholders are required. Such collaboration is crucial for harnessing the full potential of XR technology to revolutionize education and prepare learners for a dynamic future
Revolutionizing polymethyl methacrylate toughness: Achieving 190% improvement with nanocellulose reinforcement while maintaining optical clarity
Full text linkPolymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is widely used in applications requiring high transparency and durability, such as optical lenses and protective coatings. However, its inherent brittleness limits its application in high-impact environments. This study investigates the incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into PMMA to significantly enhance its toughness without compromising its optical clarity. By reinforcing PMMA with CNCs, the nanocomposites exhibited a remarkable 190% increase in toughness while maintaining 90% optical transparency. The innovation lies in achieving a balance between toughness and transparency through controlled CNC dispersion within the PMMA matrix, which minimizes excessive bonding that could lead to brittleness. Proper CNC dispersion was achieved through in-situ polymerization, allowing the nanocrystals to interact with the polymer matrix through van der Waals forces rather than covalent bonds. This approach reduces stress concentration and mitigates the formation of defects in the polymer matrix, ultimately leading to a tougher, more flexible material. In addition to enhancing mechanical properties, this study underscores the importance of controlling CNC content to preserve the intrinsic optical transparency of PMMA. These findings open new possibilities for CNC-reinforced PMMA in advanced applications that demand high mechanical performance coupled with excellent optical properties, extending its use in fields such as medical devices, protective coatings, and transparent structural materials
