Posters are one such medium that can significantly enhance students' attention and interest during learning sessions. However, traditional posters often lack elements that make them interactive and engaging enough to substantially impact speaking skills and teamwork. This study aims to introduce and evaluate the effectiveness of a novel learning medium, known as Luth-Badila’s Learning Time, which utilizes uniquely designed 3D posters incorporating subject materials, quizzes, and a rotating clock embedded in a robot's head to attract students' attention and improve their speaking skills and teamwork. The implementation of Luth-Badila’s Learning Time in classrooms has shown promising results, with a noticeable increase in student engagement, improved speaking skills, and enhanced teamwork. The novelty of this learning medium lies in its interactive 3D design and the integration of multiple educational elements into a single poster, which is a significant departure from traditional 2D posters. The findings suggest that incorporating such innovative and interactive learning media in educational settings can lead to better student outcomes, particularly in terms of speaking skills and collaborative abilities. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing evidence of the benefits of using advanced, interactive posters in educational contexts, thereby encouraging educators to adopt similar approaches to enhance learning experiences.

Highlights:

Innovative Design: Luth-Badila’s Learning Time uses 3D posters with quizzes and a rotating clock to captivate students.
Improved Skills: This medium significantly boosts speaking skills and teamwork among students.
Educational Impact: Interactive posters lead to higher student engagement and better learning outcomes.

The Effect of Networked Learning Model and Self-Efficacy on the Performance of Informatics Education Students in an Online Learning Environment

2024-10-25T03:34:04+00:00

Online learning is becoming very popular nowadays in higher education, this is due to the increasing use of digital technology and the internet, the need to increase student affordability. The learning network model has been developed as an effective learning design in online learning which can be the right solution for. However, currently no empirical evidence has been found regarding the role of the learning network model, especially as moderated by self-efficacy. The aim of this research is to determine the role of the learning network model and self-efficacy on the performance of informatics education students in an online learning environment. The research design used was semi-experimental with a 2x2 factor. A total of 109 informatics education students for learning evaluation subjects were then divided into two groups, namely experimental and control. The research results show that the learning network model and self-efficacy have a significant effect on student performance in the cognitive aspect, while there is no significant effect in the psychomotor aspect. Other factors This can occur because there are other factors that can support the achievement of student skills besides learning self-efficacy.

Highlights:

Significant Impact: The learning network model and self-efficacy significantly enhance cognitive performance in online learning environments.
Limited Effect: No significant impact was found on psychomotor skills, indicating other factors influence skill development.
Research Design: A semi-experimental 2x2 factor design was utilized with 109 informatics education students to assess the variables.

Topographic and Geodetic Survey for Samarkand's Administrative Boundaries

2024-11-01T03:38:40+00:00

General Background: Administrative and territorial boundary delineation is vital in the effective governance and economic planning of urban regions globally, with digital technologies increasingly integrated into these processes for accuracy and efficiency. Specific Background: In Uzbekistan, the city of Samarkand’s administrative boundaries are undergoing significant realignment as part of a broader initiative to incorporate strategic urban centers and enable digital land management across administrative zones. Knowledge Gap: Existing methods lack precise integration with digital geospatial frameworks, leaving a gap in high-resolution topographic data essential for clear administrative delineation. Aims: This study seeks to develop and apply an accurate, digitally supported methodology for determining the boundaries of Samarkand's administrative units using advanced geodetic and topographic techniques. Results: By utilizing the CREDO DAT program, this study achieved precise boundary coordinates through the automated processing of survey points, and further analysis was conducted using the Panorama program for detailed map orientation. Novelty: This research presents a unique approach by integrating CREDO DAT with geospatial tools in administrative boundary demarcation, enabling accurate and reproducible results that surpass traditional methods in efficiency and scalability. Implications: The findings support the strategic planning of Samarkand’s infrastructure and resource allocation while also laying the groundwork for applying similar methodologies in other urban regions, advancing Uzbekistan’s digital transformation efforts in land management.
Highlights:

Digital tools enhance accuracy in administrative boundary mapping.
CREDO DAT and Panorama software streamline data processing for precise mapping.
This method supports effective urban planning and resource management in Samarkand.
