Collaborative learning has numerous benefits such as enhancing learners' critical thinking, developing social skills, and improving learning gains. While engaging in this interactive process, learners' satisfaction toward their partners plays a crucial role in defining the success of the collaboration. However, detecting learners' satisfaction during an ongoing collaboration remains challenging, and there are no automatic techniques to predict learners' satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a multimodal approach to automatically predict peer satisfaction for co-located collaboration with features extracted from 44 middle school learners' collaborative dialogues. We investigated three types of features extracted from learners' dialogues: 1) linguistic features indicating semantics and sentiment; 2) acoustic-prosodic features including energy and pitch; and 3) visual features including eye gaze, head pose, facial action units, and body pose. We then trained several regression models with each of those features to predict the peer satisfaction scores that learners received from their partners. The results revealed that head position and body location were significant indicators of peer satisfaction: lower head and body distances between partners were associated with more positive peer satisfaction. Next, we investigated the influence of multimodal feature fusion methods on peer satisfaction prediction accuracy: early fusion versus late fusion. We report the comparison results between models trained with (1) best-performing unimodal features, (2) multimodal features combined by early fusion, and (3) multimodal features combined by late fusion. This line of research reveals how multimodal features from collaborative dialogues are associated with peer satisfaction, and represents a step toward the development of real-time intelligent systems that support collaborative learning.

This study aims to describe a learning model of sociology education based on case studies of banking crimes for university students. Sociology learning is considered one of the most important studies for students at the Faculty of Social Sciences. That is why this study can examine the interactions and cases that occur from the perspective of the perpetrator and the victim. Thus, this study can be considered an interesting study to present learning as a form of case study in sociology lectures. Contextual learning is one of the correct learning models used as steps in learning. The study used a qualitative method employing a case study. Researchers used interviews, observations, and document analysis in the data collection process. The number of respondents of this study was 20, consisting of five lecturers and 15 students from the sociology department. The findings of the study revealed that contextual learning models can be an alternative in teaching sociology because this learning model can be used by presenting problems in daily life and problems related to banking crimes. In the end, the lecturers can conduct an evaluation, and the result is that the students can obtain and improve their abilities about banking crimes. Contextual learning can also foster student engagement where students actively give their opinions in class, and gain knowledge and curiosity when learning it.

This study aims to examine the effects of electronic games on students' academic achievement. The study was conducted on a sample of parents in the city of Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. A questionnaire was used for data collection, with a sample of 76 parents randomly chosen, comprising 64 females (84.2%) and 12 males (15.8%). The study findings revealed that most students who preferred adventure games used electronic games on weekends for entertainment. However, excessive usage of these games had a negative impact on their academic achievement. Games tend to consume students' time, which in turn, affects their achievement. Based on the study results, the researchers recommended raising awareness among families regarding the risks of electronic games for children and their effects on their academic achievement through workshops, lectures, and seminars. Further research studies should be conducted to highlight the effects of electronic games on students' academic achievement from the perspectives of students themselves and their teachers.

This study aims to analyze parents' roles in building student competence oriented toward educational sustainability development (ESD) in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. In this study, ESD is discussed in the context of loving the environment and efforts to prevent contamination of air, water, and soil. The study adopted a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach. The research location is Cirebon, a city of West Java in Indonesia. The research subjects consisted of parents and elementary school students from first to sixth grades as a form of self-education regarding sustainability development. The research was conducted between February 2022 and November 2022. The study data were collected using the participant interview method and observation of participation, supported by secondary data documentation. The validity of the data was increased by checking, rechecking, cross-checking, and prolonging their stay at the research location. Miles and Huberman's approach was used to analyze the data at hand. This approach consists of four research stages: data collection, data classification, data reduction, and conclusion. The study results show that parents have a very important role in cultivating student learning competencies with an educational orientation of sustainability development. From an early age, parents should instill competence in students that education must be oriented toward environmental sustainability and avoid actions that result in contamination of soil, water, and air in the framework of the survival of the earth and human survival. Children must go to school and be smart to become the next generation who will come in good condition and love preserving the earth and human life.

The aim of this study was to develop a student entrepreneurship education model that integrates the design thinking model into the creative problem-solving process and finds solutions to problems through Lean Canvas. The solutions generated can be translated into a unique value proposition substantiated by ownership of a competitive advantage that is difficult to be imitated by competitors. According to the Lean Canvas model, merely being a pioneer in a new market cannot be perceived as a competition. Further activities for developing entrepreneurial competencies include expanding knowledge, changing the existing mindset, motivating, skills, and the ability to develop businesses through training and mentoring in entrepreneurship, and national virtual entrepreneurship competitions. Study participants were recruited from the University of Mulawarman, including heads of faculty (n=2), study program coordinators (n=3), lecturers teaching entrepreneurship subjects (n=4), and students (n=76). Data were collected and analyzed using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The effectiveness of entrepreneurship education based on design thinking and Lean Canvas methodologies was also explored. A successful implementation of these methodologies required integration and synergy between entrepreneurship activities and leveraging the entrepreneurship ecosystem collaboration model. This included a range of activities such as lectures, training, coaching, and business plan competitions. Lectures were designed to foster entrepreneurial development based on the local region and strengthen collaborations among associations, businesses, communities, governments, and media ecosystems. The entrepreneurship education program introduced entrepreneurial thinking patterns and business planning through design thinking. Business coaching was used to cultivate advanced entrepreneurship competencies and guide business development. The Lean Canvas method largely focused on validating the compatibility between the problem, the solution, and the market.

This research was prompted by the phenomenon of binge-watching Korean television series (K-drama) amongst college students in Taiwan, where English as a foreign language (EFL) is a required course. The researcher-teacher sought to create a pedagogically useful list of the frequent semantically non-compositional multi-word expressions (MWEs) for EFL learners with K-drama fever who often binge-watch K-dramas. A corpus of 25+ million English subtitled words derived from 240 K-dramas across different genres was compiled. Based upon a set of criteria (frequency, range, meaningfulness, well-formedness, non-decomposability and semantic non-compositionality), a total of 326 MWEs of 2 to 6 words were selected. The 326 phrasal expressions are mostly composed of the first 3000 word families. As with other individual word lists, it is hoped that the listing of the non-compositional MWEs may serve as a reference for General English teachers.

This study aims to identify the pronunciation issues with English fricatives that undergraduate students encounter as a result of the intricate link between the English letter and sound. The purpose of this study is to gather comprehensive data regarding students' pronunciation difficulties in terms of the degree of difficulty associated with each English fricative sound, as well as the types of words in which they occur (monosyllabic words, disyllabic words, and multisyllabic words). In order to explain the English sounds that were contributing to the students' pronunciation issues, a descriptive qualitative method was adopted in this study. The information was gathered by recording students speaking 48 words with English fricatives. The results showed that sound /[voiceless dental fricative]/ accounts for 93.9% of the challenges, followed by sound /v/ at 81.8% and sound /[voiced dental fricative]/ at 60.6%. The main cause of the students' difficulties is the irregularity of the letter-sound relationship, and this can be prevented by altering the teaching strategy and making use of listening practice.

An educational customer relationship management (CRM) Chatbot is a learner support service automation tool that enhances the human computer interaction and user experience in higher education institutions through effective online conversation and information exchange. The machine with embedded knowledge is trained to identify the sentences and taking a right decision itself in response to answer a question. An E-learning platform is a web-based platform designed to streamline the administration, delivery of online educational courses and training programs. It serves as a centralized hub where educators, learners, and administrators can interact, collaborate, and access learning resources anytime, anywhere. The research objective is to design and build a E-Learning Management System with CRM chatbot for effective user interaction. A website is developed for managing course materials in the form of videos, flip-books and quiz using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL. Students can access the course materials from anywhere and anytime. The queries may arise from user at any moment. In this case, the chat bot will primarily assist students and will respond to queries by guiding them through the functionalities and features of this application at any time. Chatbot will enhance customer service. This proposed CRM-chatbot uses natural language processing (NLP) and Feed forward Neural Network model to understand students questions and automate responses to them.

This article considers the potential ways for coaching and mentoring practices in higher education to support the development of learner autonomy, a key espoused aim of university education. I argue that coaching and mentoring can foster self-regulated learning, critical thinking, and goal-setting among students, empowering them to take greater responsibility for their learning, and that higher education institutions should make greater use of coaching and mentoring practises, particularly for non-traditional learners [what in the UK are identified as 'widening participation' students]. The aim is to stimulate reflection and discussion among higher education practitioners.

This qualitative case study explored the influence that service-learning involvement has on undergraduate college students' cognitive, environmental, and behavioral factors related to nutrition. Utilizing the major constructs of the social cognitive theory, the research questions guided the investigation of how participants in a previously established nutrition service-learning course described their cognitive, environment, and behavioral influences related to nutrition throughout the course. Participants also described their nutrition self-efficacy after participating in a service-learning nutrition course. Participants described their experiences through a pre-post survey, reflections, and voluntary interviews. Based on these constructs, this service-learning course was found to improve knowledge, awareness, values, and behaviors related to nutrition for all study participants. Findings show positive changes in nutrition-related self-efficacy, especially related to the meaning-making experience of the service-learning. Results from this study suggest that intentional reflection questions related to health behavior factors in health-based service-learning courses may be utilized to influence behavioral outcomes.

A service-learning project was conducted with counselors-in-training to increase self-efficacy for interacting with individuals with unique abilities/intellectual disabilities. Counselors-in-training (N=27) completed a semester-long service-learning project and took a pre and post assessment. The results indicated that self-efficacy improved for all counselors-in-training. The paired samples t-test identified that the mean increase in self rated self-efficacy was statistically significant with a medium to large effect size, t (26) = - 4.052, p &lt; 0.001, d = 0.742. However, the increase of self-efficacy was greater among the counselors-in-training who had no prior experience with individuals with unique abilities/intellectual disabilities.
