Curriculum: Application and Evaluation of a Game2024-03-17T04:39:44-07:00Denis Guilherme Guedertdenisguedert@gmail.comPaola De Limapaola.lima@unidavi.edu.brRenata Souza e Silvarenatasosi94@gmail.comVirgínia Cláudia Carneiro Girão Carmonavirginia.girao@ufc.brDelane Viana Gondimdelane@ufc.br<p>The increasing number of studies on the use of active methodologies has promoted the application of such resources by professors in the field of morphology. Gamification has been the focus of increasing attention since the beginning of the last decade, its central idea is to take advantage of the motivational potential of games for the classroom environment. This work sought to verify the reliability of an evaluation scale for educational games and the effectiveness of a board game as an active tool for teaching embryology. The potential and limitations of the scale used were also studied. To achieve this objective, an active practical class was held with medical students from a Brazilian higher education institution. The study included 215 students, of legal age, enrolled in the first to eighth phases of the course. The content addressed during the intervention referred to the period from the first to the eighth week of embryonic development, addressed through a board game. At the end of the activity, students were invited to answer a questionnaire to evaluate educational games. After data collection, exploratory factor analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS® Statistics 22.0 software. It was observed that the assertions Relevance3, Confidence4, Satisfaction3, Immersion1, Challenge2, Skill1, Social Interaction3 and Fun5R had the most significant factorial load. The results suggest that gamification can bring important benefits when well used.<strong></strong></p>2024-03-09T18:40:51-08:00Copyright (c) 2024 Denis Guilherme Guedert, Paola De Lima, Renata Souza e Silva, Virgínia Cláudia Carneiro Girão Carmona, Delane Viana Gondimhttps://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/jse/article/view/21732Pre-Service Teachers’ Impressions and Experiences of Virtual Practicum Teaching in the United Arab Emirates2024-03-16T20:19:38-07:00Laila MohebiLaila.Mohebi@zu.ac.aeDawood AhmadLaila.Mohebi@zu.ac.ae<p>The COVID-19 global pandemic forced some teacher training institutions to implement unprecedented pedagogical strategies, which include conducting virtual practicum teaching. It was a challenge for pre-service teachers as they did not have experience in online teaching and learning, let alone conducting virtual field experiences. The objectives of the study were to explore pre-service teachers' initial pedagogic impressions and experiences of their first week of virtual practicum teaching in kindergarten classrooms with children aged 4-5 years old, which is the first year of formal schooling in the UAE. The study was conducted using a qualitative case study within an interpretive paradigm. Guided by Gibb’s reflective cycle as a theoretical framework, 20 pre-service teachers were purposively selected in the study to complete an open-ended questionnaire. The results showed that pre-service teachers achieved more than they anticipated as they made enlightening observations and had successful hands-on pedagogical activities. The study concludes that the reinforcement of problem-solving skills is inevitable among pre-service teachers, enabling them to use their higher-order thinking skills to adjust and adapt to any teaching and learning approach.</p>2024-03-16T19:52:47-07:00Copyright (c) 2024 Laila Mohebi, Dawood Ahmad
