The Development of Edmodo-Based E-learning in Mathematics for Class V at Dr. ...IJAEMSJORNAL
This study aims to produce an Edmodo-based e-learning development product in mathematics class V at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Primary School and to know the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed Edmodo-based e-learning media. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with ADDIE model where each stage is interconnected and in stages in producing development products. The research subjects in this study are the design, media, learning material experts, the teacher, and the students. The hypothesis proposed of this study is that the development media products on Edmodo-based e-learning are feasible and effective for use in the learning process of mathematics. The data is collected through questionnaire by research subject assessment instrument and posttest from learning outcome instrument. The feasibility of the media is obtained through the validation and testing by research subjects where the average percentage of the results of the assessment of design, media, and learning material experts is 89.3%, while the average percentage of the results of teacher and student assessments in the trial of individual and groups of students is 90.5% who fall into the “Very Appropriate” category. The product effectiveness test from the learning outcome test data on the research hypothesis test through one-party test obtained tcount > ttable (2.3798 > 1.66980), which means that students’ mathematics learning outcomes with Edmodo-based e-learning were higher than students who studied conventional truth-tested. Thus development media products on Edmodo-based e-learning are feasible and effective for use in the learning process and can improve student learning outcomes compared to conventional learning.

Multiple regression and independent samples’t-test were adopted to test two null hypotheses at 95% significance level. Findings revealed significant relationship between university academics’ digital competence and their gender and experience in using the internet. Male academics perceived themselves as more competent than female academics. A significant inverse relationship was also observed between digital competence and age of respondents. The findings led to the conclusion that university academics were fairly competent in using the internet for research and faced challenges in using the internet as a teaching tool. University management was advised to place a premium on the use of information technology in university academic business.
A Study on the Effectiveness of Computer Games in Teaching and LearningIJASCSE
Games, especially computer games are becoming one of the tools of education. Nowadays, the usage of computer games as an educational tool has become a worldwide trend. An early assumption suggests that since the appeal of computer games can engage interest and motivation, thus it is a wise step to use computer games for the purpose of educating. This is because students often get bored with the learning process; therefore we need to find creative ways to teach them. Instead of the usual, dull lesson in class, educators are trying out new ways to attract the interest of students to focus the lessons and thus increase their understanding, with one of it using computer games. A lot of papers supported the idea of computer games being effective as an aid for students. Educators alike also agreed that it is one of the ways to gain students interest in their lessons. Before coming to the ultimate conclusion that computer games are a good choice, first of all we need to study carefully the effectiveness of using computer games as an educational medium. This paper aims to study the effectiveness of computer games in learning among students. Issues on the integration of computer games in formal education are and the current status of educational gaming in learning were reviewed in this paper. We focused on higher learning context which is for university students.

Problem-based learning is generally done with face-to-face interaction. This learning process, however, has not provided a lot of time for learners to find limitless and timeless information and learning resources. It still depends on the teacher as a source of information. Students are very dependent on the presence of lecturers during face-to-face interaction. This research aims to develop a Problem-based Blended Learning (PB2L) model to support student to improve their creative thinking skills. The method used in this research was R&D with ASSURE development model. Product validation was done through an expert’s assessment by using the expert’s validation sheet. The practicality of the product is tested with limited trials with college lecturers and some students with questionnaires and interviews. Product effectiveness was seen by implementing limited development testing to a particular class with a one group pretest-posttest design and the result was analyzed by using a Paired-Samples T-Test. The result of this research is a Problem-based Blended Learning (PB2L) valid, practical and effectively improves students' creative thinking abilities. The effectiveness of the learning model was also proven on the basis of Paired-Samples T-Test of students’ pretest and posttest with sig. (2-tailed) 0.000. This learning gives students the opportunity to think systematically by beginning by criticizing the interesting contextual problems and ending with meaningful reflection with adequate learning resources both in face-to-face and online interaction.

Abstract: Blended learning is an educational model offered through traditional learning methods and digital
networks to share knowledge and education resources between instructors and learners. Besides, blended learning
provides learning courses accessed through digital platforms and gadgets utilizing online technologies such as
smartphones, tablets, laptops, and personal computers. Denoted as e-learning, these platforms are important in
teaching and training students through the internet and wireless technologies. In any course, offering online
learning plays a great role because e-learning provides the students the opportunities of developing their
capabilities, specifically in information science courses. In modern education, digital learning is becoming a
gradually popular option. The classroom settings moved online from full digital courses to classes held remotely.
However, effective communication in a digital learning environment may be hard, particularly when digital
learning transition is unplanned or has been sudden. Making such massive overhauls are confusing and frustrating
for the teachers, learners, and parents.
Nevertheless, digital learning communication can be made easier with the right resource. This research explores
the blended learning environment effectiveness by evaluating the relationships between design features, student
backgrounds or attributes, and learning outcomes. The paper's objective is to determine the important blended
learning effectiveness indicators, taking learning outcomes as dependent variables and design features and learner
background or attributes as independent variables. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated learner
attributes such as self-regulation and attitudes and traits of blended learning designs such as one-on-one support,
technology quality, and online tools forecasted students' satisfaction as an outcome. The findings show that design
characteristics and student traits are important indicators for student learning outcomes in blended learning.
The teaching and learning styles that teachers and students apply in their teaching and learning have dramatically changed due to technological advances particularly in computer. Technological advancements are affecting the way we teach and learn. Technology has found a profound home in the world of teaching and learning. Teaching/learning technologies (TLT) have received considerable attention of many including academicians in recent years. The promises of TLT vary for the respective publics. Many insist that students today do not learn well with traditional teaching and learning methods. They argue that students require presentations that are visual and stimulating. Classroom teachers hold the key to the effective use of technology to improve learning. Whatever the varying perceptions of the promises of teaching, leaning, technology, presentation instruction in the classroom, using the Web for teaching the bulk of their course, and many other faculty are considering adopting such technologies. This paper will examine some of the advantages and disadvantages of only one type of TLT, presentational technology in the classroom, and some of the issues for faculty to consider before adopting it.

E-learning or electronic learning is now increasingly recognized as one way to overcome the problem of education, both in the developed countries and in developing countries. Many people use the term different with e-learning, but in principle e-learning is learning to use electronic services as a means of help. The main vehicle in the development of human resources is education and training. But when watching the situation geography, socio-economic and cultural diversity of Indonesia, it is clear that it was not adequate anymore when only relying on the ways of traditional solutions alone.

Abstract
E-learning is an extremely adaptable technology that can be used to cover different delivery modes-self-paced,
interactive or live learning can match the varied training needs. E-learning makes new knowledge and skills
available immediately and reduces the learning time required to master even the most complicated topics. E-learning
is the changing trend of education. The modern technologies particularly the Internet, made education no longer
limited to the four walls of the classroom. Measuring attitude and efforts to improve attitude towards technology is
very much essential to effect any change through technology. This study focuses on the attitude of teachers of higher
education towards e learning. The findings of this study reveal that the teachers have a favourable attitude towards e
learning as well teachers who are familiar about computer and information and communication technology differ in
their attitude towards elearning when compared to the teachers who are not familiar with technology. Attitude plays
a vital role in using technology as a strong tool for a positive change. There must be programmes at higher
educational institutions which could focus on developing a positive attitude among teachers towards e-learning and
information and communication technology
Key words: Attitude, e-learning, blog and ICT
1. Introduction
Educators must go beyond computer literacy to achieve technological competence is successful integration
of technology into the classroom is to occur. Deborah L. Lowther., “et al.” (1998) emphasizes that the technological
competence also requires a transition from using the computer as an instructional delivery system to one of using the
computer as a learning tool. Shu-Sheng Liaw., “et al.” (2007) found that the trend of using e-learning as a learning
and/or teaching tool is now rapidly expanding into education. E-learning is the new wave in learning strategy.
Through innovative use of modern technology, e-learning not only revolutionizes education and makes it more
accessible, it also brings formidable challenges for instructors and learners. As per Mahdizadeh. H., “et al.” (2007)
E-learning environments increasingly serve as important infrastructural features of universities that enable teachers
to provide students with different representations of knowledge and to enhance interaction between teachers and
students, amongst student themselves.
2. Need For the Study
Education in the digital world of today can actually make that meaningful shift by ensuring that if students
do not learn the way they are taught, they can be taught the way they learn. This pedagogical shift, when integrated
into educational software and appropriate technology, can make learning exciting and enjoyable while securing
successful learning outcomes in shorter time frames. While colleges and universities globally lend to use
asynchronous or delayed technologies with an instructor as the basis of e-learning and thereby include tools like
online discussion forums, electronic books, online exams and grading, online mentoring, web-linked etc. As the 11th
plan approach paper states: The 11th plan provides an opportunity to restructure policies to achieve a new vision of

growth that will be much more broad based and inclusive, bringing about a faster reduction in poverty and helping
bridge the divides that are currently the focus of so much attention. While it recognizes that Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) has a great potential for enhancing learning levels and improving quality of
education.
Modern day learning environments are characterized by their place and time independence, their integrated
presentation and communication facilities, and their opportunities for re-use of learning technologies in the form of
learning objects. Many researchers claim that technology push will enhance the quality of education; In fact, Clark
(1994) argues that the question of whether media or technology will ever influence learning remains open to debate.
A well-defendable viewpoint lies not in the media or technology used, because only positive attitudes toward that
media or technology can improve the quality of learning or teaching. Thus, understanding users’ attitudes toward
learning technology, including instructors’ and learners’ attitudes, enables us to make learning more effective,
efficient, and appealing. Gefen & Straub (1997) asserts that among the various theoretical models developed to
examine users’ intentions of using computer and communication technology, perceived usefulness is a key to
influence behavioral intentions. Technology offers tremendous opportunities for increasing the effectiveness and
efficiency of education in the future. Students, faculty, staff and administrators now use technology extensively in
their daily activities and have become reasonably technologically literate. The trend of using e-learning as a learning
and teaching tool is now rapidly expanding into education. Many educators and researchers had high hopes for e-
learning, believing that it would provide more access to information and communication, and would ultimately lead
to a new revolution in education. Several studies have been conducted to examine attitudes towards e-learning in the
West and other parts of the world. But in the Indian context research in this direction were very few. According to
Murahari, B (2008) E-learning in India, is still at an experimental stage. Woodwoth (1938) opines that attitudes, the
affective by-product of an individual’s experience, have their bases in his inner urges, acquired habits, and the
environmental influences by which he is surrounded. In other words, attitude result from personal desires and group
stimulation. They act as causes as well as results of behaviour. They are personal and are associated with the
feeling tones connected with the individual’s experiences. Attitudes grow and develop, as do other mental and
emotional behaviour patterns, in terms of an individual’s reactions to his environment. Attitude is a set or disposition
(readiness, inclination, tendency) to act toward an object according to its characteristics so far as we are acquainted
with them. Measuring attitude and efforts to improve attitude towards technology is very much essential to effect
any change through technology. This necessitated the researcher to study the Attitude of teachers’ of Higher
Education towards E-learning,.
3. Definition of Terms
3.1 Electronic learning or e-learning
Electronic learning or e-learning is an all-encompassing term generally used to refer to computer enhanced
learning, although it is often extended to include the use of mobile technologies such as PDAs and MP3 players. It
may include the use of web-based teaching materials and hypermedia in general, multimedia CD-ROMs or web
sites, discussion boards, collaborative software, e-mail, blogs, wifis, text chat, computer aided assessment,
educational animation, simulations, games, learning management software, with possibly a combination of different
methods being used. Along with the term e-learning technology and educational technology, the term is generally
used to refer to the use of technology in learning in a much broader sense than the computer-based training or
computer aided instruction of the 1980s. It is also broader than the terms Online Learning or Online Education
which generally refer to purely web-based learning. In cases where mobile technologies are used, the term M-
learning has become more common.
3.2 Higher Education
Education is a very important role in our lives. There is a rapidly growing demand for a higher education
in the world today. Most people seek higher education to improve their job prospects and social status. Some other
goes for it for self-improvement, development of character and for the sake of knowledge. Higher education imparts
education and knowledge in one specific field such as sciences, social science, medicine, history and others. Higher
education helps people to see world in a rational ways for the benefit of all. Educated people get wider vision to
perceive the facts of the life. The advent of new and advanced information and communication technologies can
very well be applied in the context of Higher Education. The Higher Education learners are in need of enriched

7. Analysis and Discussion
The data have been analyzed be SPSS Package and interpretation of data is given below
7.1 Attitude towards E-Learning and Variables with Two Categories
The mean differences in the attitude towards e-learning caused by the variables, namely, teachers
knowledge in computer and teachers who have blogs are 1.80 and 1.41 respectively and the corresponding t-values
are 1.98 and 2.16. The mean differences in the attitude due to the variables computer knowledge and blogs are
significant at 0.05 levels for the df 253 in each case. (Table 1)
In the above cases rejecting the null hypotheses it is concluded that at 95 percent confidence interval that
the teacher who have knowledge in computer and without knowledge in computer, the mean difference is in favour
of teachers who possess knowledge about computer. Teachers having blogs and teachers who do not have blogs

differ significantly in their attitude towards e-learning and their mean difference is in favour of teachers having
blogs.
There exists no significant mean difference in the attitude towards e-learning with respect to the variables
e-mail id, courses attended in computers and net access, the t-value of the corresponding mean differences are
computed to be 0.53, 0.19 and 1.11 respectively and all are not significant at 0.05 level for the df 253. It is therefore
concluded that there are no significant mean difference in attitude towards e-learning based on the variables e-mail
id, courses attended in computer and net access facility.
7.2 ICT Familiarity and Variables With Two Categories
The mean difference in the ICT familiarity of the subjects caused by the variable namely, net access is 0.89
and the corresponding t-value is 3.56 which is significant at 0.01 level for its df 253. Similarly, the mean differences
in the ICT familiarity of the subjects caused by the variables namely, teachers who have e-mail id, teachers who
posse’s knowledge in computer and teachers who have blogs are 1.11, 0.77 and 0.60 whose t-values 2.23, 2.12 and
2.35 respectively, are found to be significant at 0.05 levels for the df 253. (Table-2).
Hence rejecting the null hypotheses, it is concluded that with 95 percent confidence interval that the
teachers having net access at institution and both at institution and home differ significantly in their ICT familiarity.
Teachers having e-mail id and teachers do not have e-mail id differ significantly in their ICT familiarity. Teachers
differ in their ICT familiarity based on knowledge in computer and without knowledge in computer. Teachers
significantly differ in their ICT familiarity between having their own blogs and do not have their own blogs.
There exists no significant mean differences in the ICT familiarity of the subjects due to courses attended in
computers as the t-value of the corresponding mean difference is 0.01 which is found not to be significant at 0.05
level for the df 253.
7.3 Findings
The teachers, those who are possessing and not possessing the knowledge of computer causes change in the
attitude towards e-learning as the mean difference is in favour of teachers who possess knowledge about computer.
Teachers, those who have blogs and teachers who have no blogs, significantly differ, in their attitude
towards e-learning and their mean differences are in favour of teachers having blogs. There is no significant mean
difference in the attitude towards e-learning based on the variables like, e-mail ID, courses attended in computer and
net access facility.
It is concluded that teachers having net access at institution and both in the institution and at home differ
significantly in their ICT familiarity. The mean difference is in favour of teachers those who have net access both in
the institution and at home are having more ICT familiarity. Teachers having e-mail id and teachers do not have e-
mail id differ significantly in their ICT familiarity. The mean differences are in favour of teachers those who are
having e-mail id.
Teachers differ in their ICT familiarity with and without the knowledge of computer. The mean difference is in
favour of teachers who have knowledge of computer. Teachers significantly differ in their ICT familiarity because
of having and not having their own blogs. The mean difference is in favour of teachers those who have their own
blogs. There is no significant mean difference in the ICT familiarity with reference to the variable namely, teachers
who have attended courses on computer.
7.4 Conclusions
Teachers who possess knowledge about computer are having favourable attitude towards e-learning.
Teachers having blogs differ significantly in their attitude towards e-learning from those who do not have blogs.
The following conclusions favour the above mentioned findings:
Kayte o`neill “et al.” (2004) found that ‘the implications of e-learning on lecturers and students are
extensive); and the e-learning can help deliver supporting innovations in teaching and learning and developing the
work force. Sarah Golden “et al.” (2006) in her study observed that the lecturers were positive and proactive in their
attitude towards the role of e-learning in supporting their teaching practice. Pei-Chen Sun A (2007) opines that the
instructor’s attitude towards e-learning is one of the critical factors affecting learners’ perceived satisfaction. Shu-

Sheng Liew “et al.” (2007) found in his study that the instructors have a very positive perception towards using e-
learning as a teaching assisted tool.
The ICT familiarity is more in the case of teachers who have net access both at home and in the institution.
The teachers those who have e-mail id are having better ICT familiarity. The ICT familiarity is better in the case of
teachers those who have knowledge in computer. The ICT familiarity is better in the case of teachers those who
have their own blogs.
8. Recommendations for Further Research
Teacher’s first-hand experience has a positive effect on his or her use of e-learning environments.
Therefore, teachers should be encouraged to try e-learning strategies in their own courses. For example, they could
be assisted in preparing e-content for their courses. There must be scope for knowing and making use of modern
technologies like interactive white boards, blogs, etc. Teachers need the support from the institution in order to make
use of new technologies in the teaching learning process. It is necessary that, in the near future, e-learning
environments are to be made popular among college and university teachers in the Indian context.
Attitude plays a vital role in using technology as a strong tool for a positive change. There must be
programmes at higher educational institutions which could focus on developing a positive attitude among teachers
towards e-learning and information and communication technology
