No full textStudying a foreign language is not a piece of cake and it demands a lot of time and effort from the learners. According to the technological development, studying a foreign language is becoming more leisurely day by day, since speaking is the most crucial skill of the basic four skills for everyone.. Every learner desires to speak fluently by learning a language, but anxiety wholly hinders their attempts. The anxiety is one of the main three psychological factors such as anxiety, self-esteem, and motivation that can affect the students' troubles, especially speaking in Mongolian. In this paper, our study aimed to analyze students' speaking anxiety in the Mongolian Language Preparatory Program at the National University of Mongolia and the Mongolian National University of Medical Science. We tried to find out the foreign students' anxiety ranks and causes of speaking the Mongolian language. The survey participants of the research were foreign students at the National University of Mongolia and the Mongolian National University of Medical Science in the 2022-2023 academic year. We used a questionnaire to carry out a survey. As a result of the study, students' anxiety in speaking Mongolian was defined and classified by several indicators of speaking
2U2i AND WBL-BASED PROGRAMS STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING EFFICACY IN MALAYSIAN HIGHER EDUCATION: Received: 29th November 2022; Revised: 25th November 2022, 27th December 2022, 03rd January 2023; Accepted: 11th January 2023
No full textThe Malaysian education system must adapt to the 21st-century paradigm change to produce quality graduates who are holistic, balanced, entrepreneurially ready, bright, skilled, and knowledgeable. Student-centered learning (SCL), a teaching-and-learning (TnL) method, is being adopted in the system to develop students' inclinations and higher thinking capacity, revealing individuals' talents in a certain sector meanwhile, 2U2i and work-based learning (WBL) study modes were established to lessen students' reliance on traditional learning by emphasizing particular industrial in-field learning and continuous learning. The purpose of this study is to verify the reliability and validity of the instrument that will be used to determine the efficacy of SCL in 2U2i and WBL programs among participating local higher education providers (HEP) aside from confirming the existence of SCL elements within the programs. The initial data collection procedure involved questionnaires with students as well as industry players with whom the students are currently affiliated. The results suggest that the instrument used is viable and easily understandable by respondents. However, it is insufficient to formulate a truly effective instrument due to the small sample size and differences in the implementation of 2U2i and WBL programs, suggesting a complete data collection involving all related parties in future studies

USING THE TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL TO PREDICT LECTURERS’ ACCEPTANCE OF AUGMENTED REALITY NOTES: Received: 10th August 2022; Revised: 31st October 2022, 11th December 2022, 21st December 2022; Accepted: 28th December 2022
No full textTeaching and learning have already been leaping forward by adding advanced technologies such as augmented reality. The main purpose of this study is to predict Malaysian Polytechnic lecturers who teach Wireless Communication subject, on their acceptance level of incorporating Augmented reality into learning material using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The questionnaire was distributed to 40 polytechnic lecturers who teach this subject nationwide. Pearson Correlation analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to test all the hypotheses. The data analysis indicates that about 87.5 % of Malaysian polytechnic lecturers who teach wireless communication subject currently accept to incorporate AR in that subject. Using Technology Acceptance Model, the study reveals that lecturers perceived that Augmented Reality is easy to use (PEOU), and useful (PU) and therefore has a positive attitude (ATU) towards using it. This results in positive behavioral intention (BI) to use AR in their teaching and learning material for this subject. This study emphasizes on TAM model to understand and explain behavioral intention to use Augmented Reality among Malaysian polytechnic lecturers who teach wireless communication subject. However, the scope of this study can be widened by investigating the acceptance level for other subjects too
USING COLLABORATIVE WEB-BASED MAPS TO PROMOTE GEOGRAPHY TEACHING AND LEARNING: Received: 15th December 2022; Revised: 03rd March 2023, 28th July 2023; Accepted: 18th August 2023
No full textMany education reforms are being driven by technological advancements, particularly the use of web-based maps. Nonetheless, these unprecedented changes have not been accompanied by teacher education and practice. It fails to bridge the gap between traditional resources and "digital natives" students. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are utilized by various areas in geography, particularly web mapping applications, which are rapidly developing. GIS is recognized as a powerful technology for Geography teaching and learning, as well as for promoting interdisciplinary learning. It is essential to work with spatial representations and dimensions rather than simply using information and communication technology (ICT). GIS Mapping is an instructive opportunity. The findings of this study stem from the use of Web Mapping in a master class of elementary and secondary teachers' formation. With a long history of incorporating Web Mapping technology into the teaching and learning process, this case study stems from a pedagogical style designed to foster collaborative learning. Students began by writing an individual scientific paper on a sustainability topic, which led to the eventual publication of a book, and the results were presented in a collective Story Map application. The technique encouraged pupils to learn, boosted creativity, and encouraged the acquisition of skills

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD): HOW IN-SERVICE EFL TEACHERS SEE MENTORING AS A RELEVANT TECHNIQUE: Received: 26th July 2021; Revised: 05th September 2022, 07th December 2022, 05th January 2023; Accepted: 09th January 2023
No full textMentoring has been widely applied to professional development practices in many areas, including education. In Indonesia, mentoring has not been implemented as a way of collaborative CPD for EFL teachers. In the United Kingdom, for instance, mentoring has become one of the required ways for teachers to learn from each other and support other teachers. By using a qualitative exploratory study, teachers’ views toward mentoring as a relevant technique to in-service EFL teachers will be explored. The data was collected by using a semi-structured interview to investigate in-service EFL teachers. The findings showed different participants’ views on mentoring as a relevant technique to in-service EFL teachers’ CPD. Most of the teachers found that mentoring would benefit experienced teachers to refresh and update their practices, as well as support novice teachers. It is also found that mentoring could give mutual benefits for EFL teachers who teach in different institutions and places. However, this study found that mentoring at the same time has some limitations related to the need for professional teachers to become mentors. Moreover, teachers are already busy with teaching and administrative stuff. Thus, some recommendations related to further study for the implementation of mentoring as a relevant technique to in-service EFL teachers’ CPD are presented
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ARABIC BRAILLE SELF-LEARNING WEBSITE: Received: 06th April 2023; Revised: 01st August 2023, 14th August 2023; Accepted: 21st August 2023
No full textBlind and visually impaired people have long used assistive technologies, such as Braille, to aid them in their day-to-day lives. Given the importance of communication for these individuals, the ability to self-learn Braille through a specifically designed educational system is crucial for unlocking the ability to communicate while saving time and money. This paper focuses on the "learn-by-my-hand" system used to teach Braille in an Arabic context through an e-dashboard on a self-guided website. The system, which also aids sighted people, is based on content from the Saudi education ministry, allowing users to learn Braille throughout school courses. It is thought to be the first system of its kind designed to be deployed in schools. The future work will focus on conducting a quasi-experiment study involving students with vision impairment in elementary schools, collecting both qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed website. By addressing usability, user satisfaction, and its impact on academic performance, we aim to comprehensively understand the website's impact on blind students' educational experiences

MATHEMATICS TEACHERS’ PERSONALITY AND INTELLIGENCE POTENTIAL PREDICTING THEIR TEACHING STYLE: Received: 23rd May 2023; Revised: 28th August 2023, 13th September 2023; Accepted: 25th September 2023
No full textThe long term goal of this study was to investigate the common profile of Math teachers with three factors: personality, cognition and communication and then analyze their teaching style predicted by this profile. The research process lasted two academic semesters and involved 40 Bachelor Math pre-service teachers studying self-knowledge courses and 40 Master Math in-service teachers studying psychology of management. Both groups completed a teacher test portfolio with 15 psychology tests measuring various aspects of their personalities, intelligence, motivation, and communication. Interestingly, only five of those questionnaires revealed a lot of similarities and allowed us to compose a common profile of math teachers. Two personality typology tests such as the MBTI and the Big Five Test, were found to be reliable in identifying common personality traits for math teachers. Multiple intelligence and brain dominance questionnaires brought out specific cognitive abilities, and the Value Communication Test detected similar preferences in math teachers. After compiling a professional portrait of math teachers, the second stream of our research was to predict their teaching approaches and practices they can use in the math classroom. Overall, the findings of this research suggest that personality, communication preferences, and intelligence characteristics can play a role in determining teaching style in the math classroom
