Authors: Lubis Zakia , Nasution Mulkan Iskandar , Nasution Nazaruddin
Published: June 2024

Rats are rodents that have a negative impact on society, both in agriculture and industry. Rodents roaming around in the house can damage electrical connections, which can trigger fires and cause fires, as well as causing economic losses. This research used a PIR sensor to detect movement and an ESP32 cam to stream live video on the blynk application. Box two contains a series of ultrasonic sound generators emitted through speakers. Additionally, tool tests were carried out using a 12 V battery test, PIR sensor test, relay test, ESP32 Cam, ultrasonic generator PWM test, Blynk test, and tool test on mice. This research aims to design a device for detecting and repelling mice in homes based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The design of this tool uses an ESP32   microcontroller as the main controller. This tool also has components such as an ESP32   cam, relay, ultrasonic speaker, 3.7-volt battery, PIR sensor, servo motor, and ultrasonic sound generator module. This tool has a working system in the form of a PIR sensor that detects mouse movement. Then the ultrasonic sound automatically comes on, the servo motor moves and the ESP32   cam connected to the Blynk application will stream live video. This tool also has an on and off button system via the blynk application. The test results carried out by the PIR sensor were able to detect the presence of objects at a distance of 5 m. The frequency issued by the ultrasonic module and measurements made via an oscilloscope has an average percent error of 1,02%. This proves that the performance of the designed prototype tool works well. The results of tests to repel mice using ultrasonic sound, which could disturb the mice, were at 40-50 kHz. The overall test results for the home IoT-based mouse detection and repellent system worked well.

Research on English-medium instruction (EMI) is still in its infancy in Science and Technology universities in Thailand. Thus, this two-stage study explored the students and teachers’ perceptions toward EMI programs, challenges, needs and teaching norms. Two instruments were used to collect the data and triangulate the results: (1) a survey questionnaire, and (2) semi-structured interviews to students and teachers. The first stage of the study collected the perceptions of 97 Agricultural Technology (AgriTech) and Science students enrolled in partial EMI programs using a survey questionnaire. In the second stage, 24 students and 7 lecturers were purposely chosen to attend the semi-structured interviews. Descriptive results of the survey revealed that students have favorable attitude toward EMI since it is beneficial for developing their English, making friends, developing cultural awareness, enhancing their future career, and increasing their self-esteem. However, despite the benefits, difficulties persist in speaking, reading, writing and cognition. Students believed that they needed support, such as resources in English language development, opportunities to use English in the campus, and activities that could develop their English language proficiency. From student interviews, themes derived regarding challenges include linguistic challenges, lack of self-esteem, cognitive challenges, and teachers’ accented speech. Data from teachers affirmed students’ cognitive and linguistic challenges. The other themes induced were cultural challenges, language anxiety and lack of self-esteem. Teaching norms highlighted ways to support content comprehension, for instance, summarizing lessons in L1.

This article presents part of a doctoral research project aimed at investigating the effects and possible limits of the discovery learning approach in teaching grammar to English as a foreign language (EFL) students in high schools in Slovakia from the teachers’ perceptions. The research project deployed design-based research with a total of 7 EFL teachers in Slovak high schools collecting data in three phases. The data presented in this article focused on intervention and were collected during the second phase of the research project. During the intervention, the teachers were taking field notes which were subsequently analysed. The results of the analysis of the teachers’ field notes showed there are mostly positive aspects of the discovery learning approach, pointing out students’ experience with discovery and their engagement when learning grammar. However, the results also showed some limits of this approach in the high school environment. Mostly training is needed for both teachers and students so they can make the most of the discovery process.

Email functions as a pivotal tool in facilitating today’s business correspondence. Similar to other written genres, email incorporates distinct conventions and linguistic patterns that are recognized within a particular community. Deviating from the established conventions and recurring patterns can pose challenges for individuals engaging in communication within this genre. This study, which utilized a mixed methods research design, formulated a teaching approach that synergized genre-based approach (GBA) with data-driven learning (DDL) to facilitate business email writing instruction, while its effectiveness in enhancing students’ aptitude for written communication was investigated. The participants comprised 24 EFL university students with elementary (n=12) and intermediate (n=12) English proficiency levels from diverse academic disciplines. They underwent a 10-hour instructional course designed to augment their business email writing competence. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments, supplemented by semi-structured interviews. The findings indicated a statistically significant improvement in participants’ business email writing ability subsequent to the intervention. Qualitatively, students’ post-intervention emails exhibited well-organized structure, comprehensive content, and contextual appropriateness, underpinned by practical, professional, and linguistically accurate language use. Furthermore, students expressed satisfaction with the pedagogical approach as it effectively prepared them for real-world business email communication.

Mandatory professional development (PD) programs are prevalent in the system despite research evidence of its weakness in changing teachers’ actual classroom practices. There is no coherent understanding of what makes mandatory PD programs effective. We accessed 23 articles from three databases using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis to develop a knowledge base of mandatory PD. We explored how mandatory PD programs have been researched and conceptualised, emphasising what key elements support teachers’ implementation of their acquired knowledge and skills. We developed a framework for designing a mandatory PD program with integrated system-level and school-level extended programs to ensure its effectiveness. Our findings expand Desimone’s elements of effective PD to include school-extended elements such as opportunity and autonomy to implement, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and support and resources for teachers. The framework has implications for articulating policy, improving mandatory PD practices, and theoretical understanding of effective mandatory PD programs.

The study aimed to ascertain how learners' performance in the chemical hybridization concept was affected by the Computer Animation Instructional Package (CAI). A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research design was used in the study. There were 120 seniors secondary school students in the sample. The control group received instruction via traditional lectures, while the experimental group was treated using computer animation. The Hybridization Achievement Test (HAT) and Students' Spatial Ability Test (SSAT) were tested and used for data collection. The tests had reliability coefficients of 0.71 and 0.77, respectively using Kuder Richardson 20. Using estimated marginal means and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at a 0.05 significance level, seven research hypotheses were tested. Results showed that CAI highly impacted students' performance in the chemical concept of hybridization. A noteworthy interaction effect between gender and spatial ability was also found, favouring females with high spatial ability over males with low spatial ability regarding learners' performance. The research results indicate that CAI enhanced students' performance on the hybridization concept in chemistry. The results also showed the gender-friendly and successful instructional characteristics of CAI.

The Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) reiterated the need to conduct class observations to help ensure the delivery of quality basic education to all learners. It developed the Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) Manual for Teachers and School Heads, aligned with the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). The manual provides school heads and other raters with a detailed reference to help understand the tools and the different phases of assessment within the various cycles of RPMS, ensuring that mechanisms are in place to support teacher performance (DepEd, 2018). It is on this premise that this study is conducted. Primarily, it aimed to ascertain the elementary teachers’ views on the conduct of the class observations. Likewise, it also identified the factors necessary for the smooth conduct of the class observations. This study utilized the case study research design. It involved eighteen (18) elementary teacher participants and three (3) school principals, utilizing a purposive sampling design. The interview guide was used to gather the data, which was analyzed using the Collaizzi’s method. The study found that the elementary teachers’ views are characterized as systemic and observer expertise. The factors necessary for the smooth conduct of the class observations are: (1) observe honesty, confidentiality, and collegiality; (2) provide actionable feedback; and (3) support productive collaboration among teachers. Future researchers may duplicate this study on a national scale to validate the study’s findings.

This study examined Cambodian teachers’ knowledge and experience related to inclusive education and investigated differences in their knowledge and experience based on schools that implemented and did not implement inclusive education programmes. A survey was administered to 1,008 regular teachers from 236 primary schools of all 25 provinces and cities in Cambodia. Among the selected schools, 50% implemented inclusive education, while the other 50% did not. A four-part questionnaire was employed for data collection. Data analysis encompassed descriptive statistics, the Chi-Square analysis, and the independent sample t-tests. The study revealed that teachers had limited experience and knowledge in implementing inclusive practices. Teachers from schools with inclusive education programmes exhibited significantly higher levels of experience in inclusive education training ( = 0.21, p < 0.001), teaching students with disabilities ( = 0.21, p < 0.001), and collaborative efforts ( = 0.23, p < 0.001) than those from schools without such programmes. They also demonstrated significantly greater knowledge concerning policies, inclusive education (t = -8.29, p < 0.001), and disability (t = -3.12, p < 0.001) than their counterparts. The study provides various implications for improved policies and teacher training programmes to enhance teachers’ knowledge and experience for inclusive practices in Cambodia.

As an engaging instructional approach, project-based learning has gained prominence as a means of adapting K-12 education to a changing world. However, research assessing the effectiveness of project-based learning has primarily focused on teachers, whereas studies on students' perceptions of project-based learning have been limited to isolated cases. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive synthesis of qualitative and mixed-approach studies that investigated K-12 students’ perceptions of project-based learning. A meta-ethnography approach was employed to identify, evaluate, and combine the findings of the 14 peer-reviewed studies. These studies were selected based on an extensive search of databases such as Web of Science, ERIC, and ScienceDirect. Six themes were identified to reflect K-12 students’ perceptions of project-based learning: enhancing 21st-century skills, enhancing enthusiastic engagement, fostering interdisciplinary integration, time consumption, evoking initial jitter, and content insufficiency. Additionally, two research gaps were identified, with the majority of studies conducted among senior high school students in Europe and Asia. In conclusion, this synthesis highlights the effectiveness of project-based learning in promoting essential contemporary skills. However, caution is advised regarding challenges, such as content insufficiency. Stakeholders should consider targeted support and resource adequacy to optimize project-based learning benefits for diverse students.
The Situation of English Pronunciation in Primary Education Classrooms in Spain
Authors:   University of Granada, Spain, daniel.juan@ugr.es, Rubio Antonio Daniel Juan
Published: June 2024

This study arises from the need to approach the current reality of English pronunciation in primary education classrooms in Spain. Nowadays, English pronunciation is still not given importance for the development of students’ communicative competence. Thus, pronunciation is not sufficiently valued, and therefore, we can detect certain deficiencies in the oral expressions of our students. The main objective of this study was to investigate the situation of pronunciation in primary education in Spain. The hypothesis we planned was whether pronunciation was given appropriate importance and had sufficient presence in the classroom. We conducted a quantitative method being framed within what is known in educational research as a non-experimental or ex-post-facto design, defined as that which is carried out without the researcher deliberately manipulating the independent variables. The instrument used was a personal questionnaire delivered to 55 English teachers, of whom 32 responded, in primary education from Granada in Spain. From the data obtained from the teachers participating in the study, we can conclude that although teachers consider oral expression as one of the main skills to be worked on in the classroom, they do not consider pronunciation to have a direct and significant relationship with improving it.
