Effectiveness of hybrid learning model assisted by google classroom on writing negotiation text in class X RPL SMK Negeri 6 Konawe

Haerun Ana — 2025-01-30

The increasing integration of technology in education highlights the need for effective learning models that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. This study examines the effectiveness of implementing a hybrid learning model assisted by Google Classroom in improving students' learning motivation and negotiation text writing skills. Using a pre-experimental research approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, the study involved 20 grade X students majoring in software engineering at SMK Negeri 6 Konawe. Data were collected through surveys and writing skills assessments. The findings indicate that hybrid learning with Google Classroom positively impacted students' motivation and writing proficiency, providing a more flexible and cost-effective learning experience. However, challenges such as limited internet access and reduced student interaction during online sessions were identified. The study contributes to the ongoing discussion on hybrid learning by demonstrating its potential benefits in language education while also highlighting areas for improvement. These findings suggest that schools and parents should provide additional support, particularly in enhancing internet accessibility, to maximize the effectiveness of hybrid learning.

Charles Govero Chipika — 2025-01-14

Since the universalisation of inclusive education in 1994 at the United Nations Salamanca Conference in Spain, teachers globally have been grappling with how to implement it. Inclusive education calls for adoption of inclusive pedagogical approaches that are learner-centred. In order to do justice to diverse learners in today’s heterogeneous classroom populations, a solid and in-depth understanding of the philosophy of inclusion is a pre-requisite for all classroom practitioners. This qualitative study therefore aims to examine the understanding of inclusion in education of pre-service primary school teachers who graduated from a public university in Zimbabwe as the context for proposing strategies to enhance their professional preparation. Sixteen graduate pre-service primary school teachers who were purposively sampled from Masvingo province’s selected university that proffers pre-service teacher education. A triangulation of data gathering instruments of face-to-face individual interviews, document analysis and non-participant observation complemented by a follow-up discussion was adopted. Data gathered was thematically analysed and established several findings. The chief finding was that, university graduate pre-service primary school teachers had differing and inadequate understandings of the philosophy of inclusion in education that culminated into haphazard implementation of inclusive education as they had various practices.

Math misconceptions: Mistakes, misunderstanding, and confusion

Abdullah Kurudirek — 2025-01-14

In this study, we investigate mathematical misconceptions, particularly prevalent among high school students, and offer solutions. The primary aims of our research include identifying the most common mathematical misconceptions, uncovering their underlying causes, and evaluating research-based solutions that have successfully addressed these issues. For this study, data were collected using a mixed-methods approach in Stirling Schools operating throughout Iraq. Data were gathered via a diagnostic test, as well as teacher interviews and classroom observations. The test revealed conceptual, procedural, and application problems, while interviews and observations gave qualitative information about the sources of misunderstandings and teaching tactics. The data analysis blended quantitative mistake classification with qualitative theme analysis to provide a complete picture of misunderstandings and effective training approaches. In light of the data obtained, we can state that misconceptions typically stem from a lack of conceptual understanding, over-reliance on procedural methods, and contextual misunderstandings. Additionally, it has been shown that conceptual education, visual aids, and peer-supported learning help eliminate mathematical misconceptions. These valuable findings hold significant implications for educators seeking to improve students' mathematical knowledge by emphasizing the importance of concept-based learning and providing opportunities for re-education. Through this study, we offer key insights into how widespread mathematical misconceptions can be effectively addressed, contributing meaningfully to mathematics education.
