Using digital stories during COVID-19 to enhance early-grade learners' language skills

This research presents gamification-flip-books in education that can significantly improve students' conceptual understanding due to the actions involved in the learning. However, this approach also presents a problem for "slow learners" and other students who require individualized attention in their classroom's approach to teaching and learning. Many researchers have been drawn to the use of gamification in education as a way to boost engagement and improve learning outcomes. This study aims to show the empirical results of the most recent research on applying gamification in ability learning for slow learners. This research aimed to develop an interactive digital gamification-flip-book which meets the criteria for assisting students called slow learners. A 4-D design of research & development was applied, covering four stages: define, design, develop and disseminate. Since the percentage that was produced was more significant than 85%, the validity level of the generated media satisfied very valid requirements, and it could be used without any modifications because the standards were met. The implication proves that the integration with LMS was a practical approach for providing activities to slow learners to support them. This was demonstrated by the fact that the integration was successful. Therefore, the additional study should be encouraged to investigate the usefulness of a digital gamification-flip-book integrated into LMS for slow learners.

“…This methodology is defined as a potentially helpful discovery process (Petousi & Sifaki, 2020) since it is composed of several steps allowing its application to hypothesis validation or pattern discovery (Sunar et al, 2023). The KDD methodology is divided into phases that allow the integration and preprocessing of data, which are vital to ensure quality research and an adequate synthesis of previous concepts (Bakhshinategh et al, 2018).…”

Data mining: Application of digital marketing in education

The excessive cost of inadequate management of stored information resources by companies means a significant loss for them, causing them to invest more than they should in technology. To overcome and avoid more significant losses, companies must counteract this type of problem. The present work's aim is to apply good data mining through digital business marketing that will allow ordering and filtering of the relevant information in the databases through RapidMiner, to supply the companies' databases with only relevant information for the normal development of their functions. For this purpose, the Knowledge Discovery Databases (KDD) methodology will be used, which will allow us to filter and search for information patterns that are hidden in order to take advantage of the historical data of investment per student in the educational sector and to establish a more accurate and efficient data prediction. As a result, it was found that over the years, the expenditure per student increases regardless of the area in which it is located, that although not in all provinces same amount is allocated, it is observed that it maintains an upward trend concerning the expenditures made, concluding that the KDD methodology allowed us to graph and showed how the expenditure allocated to the education sector has varied in the different grades of education, providing relevant information that will be useful for future related studies.

“…The Covid-19 pandemic has recently mandated the use of ICT at all educational levels, including ECE (Sunar et al, 2022). Even while using ICT to help the learning process has numerous advantages, it will undoubtedly be difficult for education levels where most of the learning process does not heavily utilize ICT, such as in the ECE in Palestine.…”

“…Before the Covid-19 epidemic, face-to-face instruction was used in all early childhood settings in Palestine (Ali Ahmad, 2022). However, the Covid-19 epidemic necessitates online learning in all early childhood institutions (Sunar et al, 2022). This is undoubtedly quite upsetting for Palestinian ECTs unfamiliar with using ICT in the teaching process (Ali Ahmad, 2022).…”

Digital disruption in early childhood education from teachers' point of view: A qualitative research

2023

In the digital age, teachers must have a more favourable attitude toward information and communication technology (ICT). In the current study, the researcher used a qualitative interview to learn more about early childhood teachers (ECTs) perspectives on the use of ICT in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The researcher in Palestine interviewed 63 female early childhood educators to collect data. "Thematic coding techniques" were used to analyze the interview data. Within five main themes, "ICT advantages" (8 sub-subjects), "the significance of ICT competencies" (2 sub-subjects), "promotion of the ICT training" (5 sub-themes), "the uses of ICT" (6 sub-subjects), and "challenges to using ICT", the research gathered specific information on how teachers perceived digital disruption during the Covid-19 pandemic (5 sub-subjects). The findings showed that increased promotion of ICT training that encourages ICT use among ECTs is necessary. This study adds to the body of knowledge regarding the application of ICT in the early childhood teaching process. Additionally, this study expands on empirical research findings that help report on the use of online learning in Early Childhood Education (ECE), particularly in times of crisis.
