A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY ON THE ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS ABILITY IN ANALYZING SENTENCES USING SEMANTIC ROLE
(ENGLISH DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF EDUCATION AND TEACHER TRAINING LAMBUNG MANGKURAT UNIVERSITY BANJARMASIN)
Research seminar at the University of Brighton presenting the ARISE project.
Here's the abstract:
Augmented Reality (AR) has a range of affordances that resonate with learning theory. Reflecting the early stage of the technology however, much existing research into AR focuses on technical issues and is based on prototype systems not suitable for end user deployment.
This presentation gives an insight into experiences gained in the European ARiSE (Augmented Reality in School Environments) project, which aims to develop a robust and affordable AR teaching platform suitable for deployment in schools.
In order to evaluate the tabletop AR learning platform, three consecutive prototypes of educational applications were produced, each reflecting the evolving technological capabilities of the platform and addressing different pedagogical approaches. These ranged from process visualisation in a human biology setting based on behaviourist and cognitive approaches, through guided construction of chemical elements based on constructivist ideas, to knowledge creation through communication and negotiation of meaning around cultural heritage objects with peers from another country, based on theories of social learning. The first two applications have been evaluated in summer schools involving video observations and interviews with secondary school students from Romania, Latvia and Germany.
Preliminary results indicate a high acceptance rate for the AR learning platform amongst students. The main advantages were seen in the 3D visualisation capabilities and the haptic user interface, which led to increased motivation, better concentration during learning activities, and faster and more accurate understanding of the learning content. Balancing these positive results were technical and usability issues that had a negative impact on the learning process.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

26. Survey research (Quan)
Describe and understand current conditions
(practices, preferences, attitudes, interests,
concerns…)
Collecting numeric data
Test hypothesis or answer questions
Via questionnaires…
Often development of measuring instrument is
needed.
Response rate: is it valid?
26
27. Correlational research (Quan)
Investigate the relations between two or
more variables.
To establish relations (whether or not, to
what degree a relation exists)
Use existing relations to make predictions
(eg. One variable increases, the other also
increases)
Do not suggest cause-effect relations
27
29. Group-comparative research
(Quan)
Examine the reason for differences between
groups (e.g. gender, public/private school… )
The grouping variable is pre-existing, not
controlled (or cannot be controlled).
The presumed cause: independent variable; the
presumed effect: dependent variable.
Practical, feasible, however, a clear cause-
effect link can be affected by other
(extraneous) variables…
29
30. Group-comparative research
Examples:
• Gender differences in academic achievement
of secondary students
• Class management of novice teachers and
experienced teachers
30
31. Experimental research (Quan)
At least one independent variable is experimental
Other variables to be controlled;
The effect of the experimental variable on one or
more dependent variables is observed.
Provides strongest results/evidence for linking
variables (draw conclusions about cause and
effect)
Stringent control conditions needed, sometimes
not feasible
31
33. Experimental designs
One-group pretest-posttest design
Randomized posttest design (2 groups:
treatment/control group)
• TG: R X1 O
• CG: R O
Randomized pretest-posttest design (2 groups:
treatment/control group)
• TG: R O X1 O
• CG: R O O
Randomized four-group design
33
34. Quasi-Experimental designs
When random assignment of participants is not
possible;
Static-Group Comparison Design:
• X O
• O
Nonequivalent control-Group Design:
• O X O
• O O
34
35. Single-subject research (Quan)
Instead of comparing effects on different
groups (treatment vs. no treatment), it
compares a subject/group before and after
or during the treatment.
Focus on studying the behavior change of
an individual/group as a result of an
intervention.
35
36. Delphi Method (Quan)
• The Delphi method surveys the opinions of
"expert panels".
• The research is usually conducted in three
rounds, where the information is gathered,
refined and then feed back to the expert
participants. The aim of the Delphi method is
to enable the group of experts to arrive at a
consensus forecast or policy making on the
subject being discussed.
37. Focus groups (Qual)
• A focus group gathers in-depth information by
interviewing a group of participants (vary
between six to twelve) in a group discussion
that lasts one to two hours. An experienced
interviewer gathers opinions of the group.
38. Focus groups
Benefits of Focus Groups
• Opinions are focused on specific topics
• Immediate feedback or additional questions are
possible
• Can help identify key issues quickly
Problems Using Focus Groups
• The group can be dominated by a particular person or
viewpoint
• Only a limited number of questions can be dealt with
• The interviewer could bias the results.
39. Case study (Qual)
Case study
• a qualitative approach
• focus on a unit of study e.g. individual
teachers, students, a classroom, a school
• not a methodological choice, but a
choice of what to study
(documents, artifacts, interviews, observations
can be incorporated into a case study) 39
40. Case study
Focus on detailed study of a
phenomenon, a person or a group as an
entity
through observations, description of the
nature of the case, its historical
background, contexts, characteristics, etc.
Qualitative data via interviewing, written
and non-written sources.
40
41. Case study
Designing case study
• a single case study
• a multiple case study
• a collective case study
• decision about the number of cases (no
strict rules, based on the needs of the study and
particularity of cases)
41
42. Content analysis (Qual)
• A research methodology that builds on
procedures to make valid inferences from text
(Anderson, Rourke, Garrison & Archer, 2001)
• Studying the content of communication
• E.g. transcript analysis
online discussion analysis
43. Grounded theory research (Qual)
The aim is theory generating
12 steps for grounded theory research,
Gilgun (1990)
Identifying patterns
“theoretical saturation”
Emerging theories are grounded in data
43
44. Narrative research (Qual)
Study “story lives”
The researcher constructs a narrative (written
account) about one’s experiences and the
meanings this person attributes to the experiences.
Increase understanding of issues related to
teaching and learning through the telling and
retelling of teachers’ stories.
Close relationship between researcher and
participant
44
45. Ethnographic research (Qual)
Study of cultural patterns and
perspectives of participants in their
natural settings.
Study both the setting and the
participants.
Presents a holistic description and
cultural interpretation of the participants’
everyday activities, values and events.
45
47. Types of research by purpose
Basic research
Applied research
• Evaluation research
• Action research
47
48. Basic and applied research
48
Basic Research Applied Research
The educational research continuum
49. Basic research
Develop and refine theory
Main motivation is to expand knowledge
Provides the theory that produces the
concepts for solving educational
problems
49
50. Applied research
Aim to solve practical problems, e.g.
educational problems
Aim to improve practices
Can provide data, feedback that help support
and revise the development of theory
50
51. Action research
• Systematic inquiry by educational actors in the
teaching and learning environment to gather
information about the ways in which their school
operate, the teachers teach and the students learn.
• The purpose is to provide a method for solving
everyday problems in their own setting.
• Main goal: solution for a given problem, not
contribution to science.
• Often a teacher conducts in his/her own
class/school
51
54. Possible research groups
You can choose to work in a research group
You can also opt for an individual exercise/
individual track
