- ItemOpen AccessBook Review : Gender, Sex and Tech! An Intersectional Feminist Guide(2024-07-21) Jha, Jyotsna; Panda, SantoshThis book is a collection of 14 essays and one introductory and one conclusions chapter, written by scholars cutting across different institutions in Canada, and engages with diverse dimensions of gender, sex and technology. Exploring interdisciplinary, feminist, intersectional and decolonising methods and approaches, the chapters in the 300-plus page book are divided into five themes of “Disrupt”, “Connect”, “Surveillance”, “Bodies” and “Reclaim”. The book emanated from working on developing a course on the same theme and was written primarily as a resource for teachers, students and research scholars and, therefore, refers to itself as a guide. What allows it to be a real guide is the fact that each chapter is accompanied by sections on “Questions for Discussion”, “Invitations to go Deeper”, “Read More” and “Listen More, Watch More”, in addition to References. These sections also follow the same theoretical backdrop as the essays, and encourage readers to explore questions about their experiences vis-à-vis their identities and interactions with technologies both in their personal and professional lives, and also both as individuals and members of a community.
- ItemOpen AccessBook Review : Higher Education for Good: Teaching and Learning Futures(2024-07-21) van den Berg, Geesje; Panda, SantoshHigher education for good is a book of hope that makes an essential contribution to the future of the university. Edited by Laura Czerniewicz and Catherine Cronin, it is an open-source book published in 2023. It explores how higher education can act as a transformative force for good within and outside the academic field. This is particularly relevant in a context marked by turbulence and severe crises in recent years. In this regard, Guzmán-Valenzuela (in the preface of the book) asks, "How can universities contribute to the good despite these rather gloomy and dark times, narratives, and practices?” (p. 33). The book addresses this question with hope by presenting theoretical and practical perspectives on rethinking and reshaping higher education.
- ItemOpen AccessExploring Simulation for Immersive Learning Experiences in the Digital, Open, and Distance Classroom(2024-07-21) Sapuan, Dewi Amat; Chan, Josephine Ie Lyn; Panda, SantoshSimulation-based learning has the potential to foster a transformative learning culture within the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) environment. This report is based on a research project, integrating a simulation into a digital ODL classroom, conducted in Wawasan Open University, an ODL university in Malaysia. The report highlights how a simulation can be valuable to ODL students as an effective learning tool and by creating an immersive learning experience for the students.
- ItemOpen AccessPreferences and Views of School Students on the Integration of MOOCs in Performance Tasks of EFL Courses(2024-07-21) Aksak Kömür, İstek; Okur, Muhammet Recep; Panda, SantoshThe Covid-19 pandemic forced the education sector to transition from traditional classroom settings to online and blended learning formats. MOOCs have emerged as a potential alternative to traditional classroom instruction, providing students with access to high-quality education from leading universities. This case study examines the preferences and views of school students on the integration of MOOCs in the performance tasks of EFL courses. The study was conducted in Türkiye during the 2020-2021 school year, and a total of 110 K-12 students participated. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. Statistical analysis was used to analyse the quantitative data, while descriptive and content analysis was used for the qualitative data. The study found that integrating MOOCs in K-12 EFL classes had a positive impact on students’ motivation and engagement levels. Using MOOCs as performance tasks increased students' awareness of global issues and improved their research and analytical skills. Additionally, the results showed that MOOCs have the potential to enhance language learning outcomes in K-12 EFL courses. The findings of this study can guide researchers and practitioners in the theoretical and practical aspects of online and blended learning in K-12 education.
- ItemOpen AccessPublication Trends of Online Assessment in Physical Education(2024-07-21) Blegur, Jusuf; Mulyana, Fegie Riskia; Saparia, Andi; Panda, SantoshCovid-19 significantly contributed to increasing use of online assessment in education, including physical education. Teachers still need online assessments in face-to-face learning because they help them improve a practical, objective, and credible assessment process for students' learning performance. This research aimed at tracking the publication trends of OA in PE in four years, 2019-2023, from the Scopus database. The investigation began on October 11, 2023, using the title, abstract, and keywords of "online AND assessment AND in AND physical AND education," and the researchers succeeded in collecting 985 documents (articles = 82.74%, conference papers = 8.83%, reviews = 6.19%, book chapters = 1.32%, and conference reviews = 0.91%). The publication trend metrics were highest in 2021 with 277 articles (28.12%) and began to decline by 0.10% in 2022 (to 28.02%) and 9.04% in 2023 (to 18.98). Over the four years 2019-2023, there were 2698 citations from 277 documents (average citations per document = 9.74). VOSviewer analysis proves that the title words "online assessment" and "physical education" have a small item load, so the visualisation was not visible in the VOS viewer output. Apart from that, the two title words also did not have a connection. This means that this study proved the results of online assessment investigation in physical education still has potential for future research. Future research can explore and project the various needs for developing OA in PE to help teachers organise effective, efficient and credible assessment activities.
