This paper investigates students’ transition into a bachelor’s programme of philosophy. The aim is to explore the meeting of the norms and expectations of student performances within the study programme and students’ identity negotiations when presented with these norms and expectations. Drawing on ideas of identities as performative and recognition practices as central to students’ abilities to navigate the norms, the study analyses what is entailed in the constructions of the ‘ideal’ philosophy students. The analysis builds on data produced through qualitative methods, including interviews, fieldwork and video-diaries. The analysis shows that the ‘ideal’ philosophy student is expected to demonstrate dedication and an ability to immerse themself in the content matter, while refraining from becoming absorbed in career prospects. Ideal philosophy identities performed confidence and were able to argue indisputably when engaging in discussions both in and outside teaching. Consequently, insecurity and incompetence were produced as side-effects, with a clear gendered pattern. Implications for higher education are discussed.

This paper explores the experiences of first-year biotechnology students during the first eight months of their studies. We study what the students expected to be challenging when entering the programme, and what they eventually experienced as challenging as they progressed further into the programme. Building on qualitative data (video-diaries, interviews and open-ended survey responses), we analyse the dimensions of challenges, the congruence and the students’ sense of belonging. We find that students were mainly challenged by the organisational dimension (lack of clarity in goals and course organisation). The social relations to peers were pivotal for the students as learning support when managing the challenges and decoding expectations, but also for keeping up the motivation. We argue that in order to support the students’ sense of belonging and their academic achievements, the study programmes should facilitate the formation of social networks and consider the course organisation and management.

This study aims to develop Augmented Reality Integration Hydrometereology (TARIH) technology as a learning media solution for disaster management from an early warning to the effects of land subsidence. The research method used in this study is the Model ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate). The chosen subjects of the current study were 69 physics teacher candidates aged 21-23 years at a university in Jakarta and Banten, Indonesia. Based on reliability tests obtained in this line of research, the findings disclosed that the response to the application of TARIH as media in hydrometereology learning, the reliability of the System Quality aspect was 0.69 and the mean was 4.43. Most importantly, the reliability of the information quality aspect was 0.43 and the mean was 4.39 and the reliability of the service quality aspect was 0.74 and the mean was 4.45. Based on results obtained in this line of research, the study indicated that TARIH media can be used as a learning media solution in Disaster Management from an early warning.Keywords: technology augmented reality integration hydrometeorology (TARIH), learning media, disaster learning media, physics teacher candidate.
