Active learning: the reformulation of learning/teaching methodology in Design Theory

Higher education, as well as other levels of education, face a major problem: the focus, and sometimes interest, of students during classes. Increasingly, students' focus time is shorter and the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated this problem. Currently, keeping a student attentive and motivated throughout the class is not an easy task. The problem worsens when the theoretical classes are too long. In this sense, it is urgent to change the teaching methods in order to make, not only, the class more pleasant but also to keep the student and professor motivated. Thus, the article aims to present a more dynamic way of teaching a theoretical subject in order to increase student involvement and interaction during class. © 2023 IEEE.

Problem-Based Learning in Data Science Course: Analysis of Online Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic

This paper presents the Live Interactive Streaming Classroom (LISC) system model which can be applied to the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and motivate students to solve problems in a real-life setting with guidance from teachers via online learning. In this study, the students used self-learning methods for interactive class. The class was managed through the online streaming system by the video conference applications. The study showed that the students' coding and real-life problem solving skills were improved from hand-on experience. The LISC system model stimulated students' learning levels. This was proved by applying the proposed method to the Data Science class at Silpakorn University, Thailand, joined by an instructor from Japan. When the course ended, the evaluation from the participating students showed that they were much satisfied that their skills were up-leveled for coding and real-life problem solving, and their attitudes towards the Data Science class improved. It implied and confirmed that the proposed method was efficient to the students' practical learning level, among the new normal living period in the Coronavirus pandemic. © 2022 ACM.

CURRENT STATUS of ONLINE KOREAN LANGUAGE EDUCATION at UKRAINIAN UNIVERSITIES

The purpose of this study was to review the current status of online Korean classes in Ukrainian Korean language education, examine the limitations of online Korean classes, and present tasks to be solved in the future. The researcher had no experience in conducting online Korean classes at all, and had to prepare classes without a separate training course which would provide preparation for conducting online classes. Due to the worldwide epidemic of Covid 19, which also affected Ukraine, various teaching and learning activities were attempted for the participation of Korean learners in online Korean classes. This involved various trials and errors that were unprecedented. This study provides an observation of the efforts to overcome the difficulties of instructors and learners in an unusually conducted online Korean class. We tried to operate Korean language classes in a variety of ways. This study is topical in presenting and analysing the opinions of learners about online Korean classes through the operation of an unusually conducted online Korean class. © 2021 Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, University of Latvia.
