Gamification Design Principles and Mechanics to Improve Retention

The design and guidelines for gamification offer designers a range of solutions to provide empowerment and engagement to assist with retention within education. This chapter addresses a knowledge gap around the effective use while improving retention. With gaming mechanics as a driving point, specific design considerations were explored: badges, leader boards, points and levels, and challenges. The educator must think from the learner's perspective and find new ways of creating challenges and motivation techniques to provide value. Gamification, when applied to different disciplines, has the potential to facilitate the individual within learner-centricity. Current research indicates that gaming mechanics can encourage and motivate the learner while enriching their experience when applied to education.

The Impact of E-Learning on Teaching Management of Primary Education in Rwanda

The research conducted to assess the impact of e-Learning on the teaching and learning management in primary education in Rwanda. The researcher must test the validity of the learning using expert validation sheet instruments and limited testing using observation sheets, interview guides, questionnaires and documentation as the main instruments. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis techniques. E-learning is able to generate a high attractiveness and high learning motivation for the students. respondents to give their level of agreement to the statements relate to factors to that influence e-learning teaching management materials, it was revealed that 47.9% strongly agree that there is management of eLearning in their respective schools, 35.4% agree with the statement and 16.7% disagree that in Management of eLearning in your school with mean of 4.58 and a standard deviation of 0.43. Learner’s perspective on learning using e-learning, E-Learning teaching materials, Teacher perspective on teaching using e-Learning. (F=7.761, p value =0.000) shows that there is a significant relationship between p existing Learner’s perspective on learning using e-learning, E-Learning teaching materials, Learner’s perspective on learning using e-learning.at least one of the slope is not zero. Key words: E-learning, Learning Materials, Management of Primary Education.

An Investigation into Secondary School Students’ Sino-Vietnamese Competence in Philology Learning Activities

Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary is an important part of Vietnamese vocabulary. The ability to use Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary partially reflects one’s Vietnamese language competence; therefore, the ability to use Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary is an important element in the language ability of Vietnamese people in general, and secondary school students in particular. During in-class literature activities, secondary school students are equipped with Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary to a certain extent, but the effectiveness of using Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary in communication and in learning has yet to be fully evaluated. This article focuses on evaluating the ability to use Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary of secondary school students in Hanoi by using questionnaires and tests to obtain both subjective and objective data from the learner’s perspective. The survey results will be used as a practical premise to propose new teaching methods to develop Sino-Vietnamese language competence of secondary school students in Literature, in accordance with the 2018 General Education Curriculum.

UK multisite evaluation of the impact of clinical educators in EDs from a learner’s perspective

BackgroundIn England, demand for emergency care is increasing while there is also a staffing shortage. The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) suggested that appointment of senior doctors as clinical educators (CEs) would enable support and development of learners in EDs and improve retention and well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of CEs in ED on learners.MethodsCEs were placed in 54 NHS Acute Trust EDs for a pilot beginning July 2018 and ending October 2020. Learners from multiple disciplines working at 54 NHS Acute Trust EDs where CEs were deployed were invited to complete an online survey designed to identify the impact of CEs in July of 2019, as part of an interim service evaluation.ResultsRespondents numbered 493 from 49 of 54 study sites, including 286 (58%) medical (non-consultant) and 72 (14.6%) all other nursing, allied health professionals. 9 out of 10 learners reported having experienced a change to their learning as a result of the deployment of CEs in their department. 49.9% (246/493) reported that CEs had a positive impact on their well-being. 95% (340/358) reported an improved accessibility to undertaking clinical based assessments. 78% (281/358) perceived that access to CEs increased likelihood of passing assessments. Of those responding, 80.9% (399/493) reported they would remain/return to the same ED with a CE, and 92.5% (456/493) responded that they would prefer to go to a Trust with a CE.ConclusionsAccording to survey respondents, deployment of CEs across NHS Trusts has resulted in improvement and increased accessibility of learning and assessment opportunities for learners within ED. The impact of CEs on well-being is uncertain with half reporting improvement and the remaining half unsure. Further evaluation within the project will continue to explore the service benefit and workforce impact of the CEED intervention.
