Asking Questions

This qualitative study explored the feelings of students about using the library for research. Personal writing, collected in beginning composition courses over a two-year period, was analyzed for recurrent themes. It was found that 75 to 85 percent of the students in these courses described their initial response to library research in terms of fear. Three concepts emerged from these descriptions: (1) students generally feel that their own library-use skills are inadequate while the skills of other students are adequate, (2) the inadequacy is shameful and should be hidden, and (3) the inadequacy would be revealed by asking questions. A grounded theory of library anxiety was constructed from these data.

Este artigo aborda a tutoria online no ensino superior na modalidade a distância como prática docente mediada pelas tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação (TDIC). Apoia-se na pesquisa documental para apresentar uma síntese de marcos legais da educação a distância (EAD) no Brasil a fim de refletir sobre o papel do tutor em cursos de graduação nessa modalidade. Além disso, revisa referenciais teóricos sobre o tutor online por sua importância na mediação do processo de ensino e aprendizagem na sala de aula eletrônica. Conclui que, no campo das políticas de educação a distância, é necessário o debate sobre a tutoria online para compreensão e reconhecimento do trabalho docente desempenhado pelo tutor atuante no ensino superior não presencial.

Engaged learners are effective learners. Even though it is widely recognized that engagement plays a vital role in learning effectiveness, engagement remains to be an elusive psychological construct that is yet to find a consensus definition and reliable measurement. In this study, we attempted to discover the plausible operational definitions of engagement within an online learning context. We achieved this goal by first deriving a set of interpretable features on dynamics of eyes, head and mouth movement from facial landmarks extractions of video recording when students interacting with an online tutoring system. We then assessed their predicative value for engagement which was approximated by synchronized measurements from commercial EEG brainwave headset worn by students. Our preliminary results show that those features reduce root mean-squared error by 29% compared with default predictor and we found that the random forest model performs better than a linear regressor.

This study aims to analyze the effect of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on actual system usage through attitude toward using the Ruangguru online learning guidance application in Makassar City. This study took data directly from students who subscribed to the Ruangguru application by taking 247 high school students and their equivalent as samples in this study. To implement the objectives of this study used analysis techniques using path analysis. The results of the analysis prove that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a positive and significant effect on attitude toward using the Ruangguru online tutoring application. Meanwhile, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitude toward using have a positive and significant effect on actual system usage in the Ruangguru online tutoring application. Based on the results of the single test, attitude toward using is able to mediate the effect of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on actual usage in the Ruangguru online tutoring application.
