Download or read book Gamification and Design Thinking in Higher Education written by Carmen Bueno Muñoz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the use of gamification and design thinking in higher education, examining how both techniques can be combined and used together to promote motivation, engagement, and participation among students. Using two in-depth examples, the authors show that the introduction of a gamified design in a design thinking activity can be a powerful tool to enhance the experiences of students in the teaching-learning process of a subject; motivate participants in a design thinking activity in the university environment; and enhance skills such as creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving, and collaboration, widely demanded in the labor market. Further, they examine how gamification and design thinking in the educational field can enable both the motivation and engagement of students and promote behavioral changes that materialize as a boost in learning outcomes and academic performance. Providing valuable recommendations and insights into the analysis, design and development, and implementation and evaluation of gamified design thinking activities to be carried out in higher education, as well as examining relevant ethical issues, the book will appeal to scholars, researchers, academic faculty, and educators working in the field of higher education, and with interests in educational psychology and theories of learning.

It begins with an exploration of the literature and then examines the critical issues faced on the ground by higher education institutions in Malaysia. Issues are identified and interpreted based on a survey as well as those obtained from interviews involving stakeholders and players from various academic backgrounds, administrative positions and practitioner experiences. The findings indicated that there are diverse and contested perspectives on the aims, challenges and complexities faced in internationalisation. Broadly, there seems to be general agreement that Malaysia has fairly clear policies on the internationalisation in higher education which emphasises the mobility of students with a focus on the recruitment of international students and academic staff. Increasingly the respondents agree that there are needs to be a shift to a more holistic view of internationalisation which is system wide including internationalisation at home, enhancing research and development, and the need for greater institutional autonomy. This book characterises the complex contexts and issues around internationalisation in the Malaysia higher education system including issues around access and equity, competition and/or collaboration, import oriented and/ or domestic internationalisation. It also aims to provide a theoretical, conceptual and empirical evidence based resources for more informed evidence based policy and practice for the internationalisation of higher education systems.

Examples and models are offered across grade levels and schools subjects to assist candidates in learning these things. The treatment of student-involved assessment, record keeping, and communication as an instructional intervention is a unique entity of the text. Specific assessment strategies are offered throughout for helping students see the learning target from the beginning and then watch themselves move progressively close over time until they achieve ultimate learning success.

Download or read book Curriculum Evaluation In Malaysia Aspirations And Realities written by Vincent Pang and published by Universiti Malaysia Sabah Press. This book was released on 2021-06-06 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curriculum Evaluation In Malaysia: Aspirations And Realities Curriculum evaluation is among the popular areas of research in education in Malaysia. This inaugural lecture book aims to compare the aspirations and realities of curriculum evaluation in the country. The aspirations are based on concepts and purposes of curriculum evaluation and guidelines provided by some popular curriculum evaluation models. On the other hand, the realities of curriculum evaluation in Malaysia are presented based on a review of 50 randomly sampled reports of curriculum evaluation. The review resulted in a summary of the current state of curriculum evaluation practices in Malaysia. The comparison of the aspirations and realities of the curriculum evaluation practices found a diversity of approaches and methods used; all studies have evaluative features; most of the evaluation findings are for specific implications to the programme evaluated; the terms ‘curriculum evaluation’, ‘programme evaluation’, and ‘curriculum research’ are used interchangeably; less than half of the reports did not involve the use of an evaluation model; a large proportion of curriculum evaluation in higher education projects focused on outcome-based education and entrepreneurship educati on; and only a handful of the evaluation projects were conducted by decision and policy makers at ministerial level. In the light of these findings, implications to policy makers and curriculum practitioners are discussed.
