A Transfer Learning Evaluation of Deep Neural Networks for Image Classification

Transfer learning is a machine learning technique that uses previously acquired knowledge from a source domain to enhance learning in a target domain by reusing learned weights. This technique is ubiquitous because of its great advantages in achieving high performance while saving training time, memory, and effort in network design. In this paper, we investigate how to select the best pre-trained model that meets the target domain requirements for image classification tasks. In our study, we refined the output layers and general network parameters to apply the knowledge of eleven image processing models, pre-trained on ImageNet, to five different target domain datasets. We measured the accuracy, accuracy density, training time, and model size to evaluate the pre-trained models both in training sessions in one episode and with ten episodes.

Training Google Form as an Online Learning Evaluation Tool for Teachers at SDN Nusa Indah Subang Using the Method KulWApp

A workshop on making Google Form-based learning evaluation questions for teachers at the Elementary School of Nusa Indah, Dangdeur Village, Subang District, West Java Province, was held successfully on December 5, 2020. This workshop aims to assist elementary school teachers in providing interesting online learning evaluations (not monotonous learning); this happens because so far, the assignment for evaluation purposes has only been carried out through the chat method (WhatsApp group), where the problem found is the teacher has difficulty recapitulating the student's assignments result. Later, the students get bored quickly because there is no variation in online evaluations, and parents have difficulty understanding the questions photographed by the teacher. Five teachers attended the training, carried out textually on the WhatsApp group. The implementation of this workshop runs smoothly, as expected. Therefore, the goals can be achieved in terms of teachers, students, and parents’ perspectives. The teacher can create simple questions on Google form. To implement this workshop, long-distance learning barriers in the Elementary School of Nusa Indah, especially related to assignments/online evaluation, can be overcome.

Playful Education and Innovative Gamified Learning Approaches

In the recent decades, there has been a significant investment in the incorporation of games in the educational practice. This has taken either the form of game-based learning or serious gaming. A literature review on gaming and education results in numerous works tackling different aspects of the approach. Even a simple search on the Web on gaming and learning produces multi-million results. In this work, we try to touch not only the surface of this approach and provide typical game-based learning evaluation results but also to explore its inner workings (offering a modest mixed philosophical and science aspect) and to provide an even more concrete foundation for a playful education.

Evaluation of hybrid learning in college using CIPP model

Learning in the millennial era provides significant changes in technology and communication. The COVID pandemic period requires every educational institution, especially universities, to carry out online learning. This influences the performance of lecturers in the online learning process, especially the implementation of hybrid learning at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY). The purpose of this study is to (1) describe the implementation of hybrid learning at UNY; (2) know the hybrid learning lecture model carried out at UNY; (3) describe the results of hybrid learning evaluation. This research is an evaluation study with a mixed-method approach that is a mixture of qualitative and quantitative. The evaluation model selected is the CIPP model from Stufflebeam. This model was chosen because the evaluation is comprehensive, including (1) context, (2) input, (3) process, and (4) product. The results show that the hybrid learning evaluation model developed through the instrument already met an excellent construct of loading factor values and had a composite reliability score above 0.7 and Cronbach alpha above 0.6. Implementation of difficulties or obstacles to hybrid learning includes heterogeneity of origin of student residence to make the emergence of internet network signal problems. In comparison, the problem of lecturers is that not all lecturers have skills for technology and media in the implementation of hybrid learning. The results of hybrid learning evaluation showed that the value of context, input, process, and product aspects fall into the category of "excellent," i.e., with a total average score of 3.05.
