Implementing fieldwork based on blended learning using geo-inquiry approach: will it work during the covid-19 pandemic?

Fieldwork is an important part of geography education in many countries. However, little fieldwork-related activities are being observed in Indonesia, specifically at the senior secondary level. In an effort to address this issue, investigators have developed a fieldwork-based blended learning model to be used in the country. This study involved 187 students from three high schools who followed the developed learning model. To measure the effectiveness of the developed model, a correlational analysis that examined the effect of location and session allocation on the test scores of students was used. Questionnaires were distributed to gain insight into the responses of students toward the learning system and qualitative methods were used to capture the learning experiences of these students while using the model. The obtained results show that the grades of the students were significantly affected by location rather than study sessions. Furthermore, students responded positively to the fieldwork-based blended learning model, although traditional classroom learning remained the most preferred option. Interestingly, it was found that students in Indonesia preferred to study with large groups of classmates over smaller groups. These findings confirmed the hypothesis that cultural and religious factors, specifically the concepts of "gotong royong" and "jama'ah" in Islam, respectively, influenced the perceptions of students and group preferences when studying.

Anxiety and Depression among Pregnant Women during the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Web-Based Cross-Sectional Survey

Background: Pregnant women experience heightened symptoms of anxiety and depression substantially during the Covid-19 pandemic which is significantly linked to Covid-19 specific concerns about threats to their own lives, the health of their babies, not getting enough prenatal care, and social isolation. This level far exceeds what is usually expected during pregnancy and that experienced by other groups of people during the current pandemic. Social support and physical activity seem to be became a protective resilience factor. Given the known effects of stress on pregnancy, infant, and child outcomes, there is an urgent need to support pregnant individuals during this critical period to reduce long-term negative outcomes. Research objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression in pregnant women during Covid-19 pandemic and identifying factors that related to depressive anxiety in pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic. Research method: Samples were recruited online by inviting pregnant women in Indonesian. The number of participants were 138 participants. The anxiety and depression questionnaire during pregnancy were filled out by respondents online. Bivariate correlation was used to determine factors related to anxiety and depression in pregnant women during the pandemic Covid-19. Regression Logistics was used toidentify the factors that most influence the symptoms of anxiety and depression thatclinically improved. Result(s): A total of 138 pregnant women participated in this study. The majority of the women was 20-35 years old (n = 98, 71%). Fifty percent of the women were married graduated from junior or senior high school (n = 69), with majority (76.8%) of respondents (n = 106) were unemployed. Most of gestational age of pregnant women in the third semester (n = 60, 43.5%), with one child (n = 54, 39.1). There were significant differences in the anxiety (t =-6.14, p = <.001). Conclusion(s): The women who had high depression during Covid-19 pandemic has less likely anxiety than those women who had low depression during Covid-19. Copyright © 2023, Anka Publishers.

E-module in blended learning: Its impact on students' disaster preparedness and innovation in developing learning media

E-module was used as a guide to activities in the blended learning process. The purpose of this study was (1) to find out the implementation of learning using e-modules with blended learning, (2) to determine the effect of using e-module with blended learning on student disaster preparedness, (3) to determine the effect of using e-module with blended learning on student innovation in designing learning media. The research method was quasi-experiment using pretest-posttest with non-equivalent control group design and independent sample t-test as data analysis. The research subject was the third-year students from geography department of 2017. The measurement of disaster preparedness and innovation in designing learning media used essay and assessment rubric. The results showed that there was an influence and compatibility of e-modules with blended learning on student disaster preparedness as well as in designing learning media and students were most interested in floods, earthquakes, and COVID-19. © 2021 Eskisehir Osmangazi University.

Blended Learning Integrated Fieldwork on Fundamentals of Geology Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic

The purpose of this research was to test the blended learning integrated fieldwork in the Fundamentals of Geology learning. Classroom Action Research (CAR) was used in this study. The research subjects consisted of 32 Grade 10 Mining Geology students of SMK Negeri 1 Binuang in the 2019/2020 academic year. Data analysis was carried out using quantitative descriptive analysis, namely by observing the research data which was then followed by synthesis using a literature review. From the results of research during the Pre-Cycle, it was known that the number of students who met the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) was 18.75%, while in Cycle I it is 84.374%, and Cycle II was 77.78%. These results indicated that there was an increase from Pre-Cycle to Cycle I, but there was a decrease in Cycle I to Cycle II. The results obtained in this CAR showed that blended learning integrated fieldwork has the potential to be effective as a learning model for the Fundamentals of Geology during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Some things that need to be considered so that blended learning integrated fieldwork can be effective in learning is by paying attention to scientific steps during learning, choosing fieldwork locations that are accessible to accessibility and there are communication and internet signals, as well as intensive guidance from the teacher. Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is also necessary to design integrated blended learning fieldwork that complies with health protocols. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.
