“…The application makes it easier for lecturers to monitor the learning process at that time. Mentimeter application is suggested in face-to-face learning to improve the quality of learning (Pichardo et al, 2021, Tarazi & Ortega-Martín, 2023, Hasyyati & Zulherman, 2021. Therefore, Mentimeter application can be an alternative in selecting media in the learning process Mentimeter application is an online application that allows users to display various diagrams of the results of social interactions between groups of people.…”

Recent learning processes have not been fully student-cantered. The assessment tends to only giving score and ignores the skill of critical thinking. It requires changes in the use of learning strategies, methods, and media that activate students in the learning process in order to develop the skill of critical thinking. In this case, the use of Mentimeter can be an alternative. The objectives of the research is to find out the application of Mentimeter in the course of Al Islam and Muhammadiyah in the material of Ramadhan Fast, and to know how Mentimeter media can improve critical thinking skill of Nursing Department Students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Pekajangan Pekalongan that consist as 32 students of class A as experiment class and 34 students of class B as the control class. This study uses a quantitative research approach, specifically using a quasi-experimental method, the research design is pre-test, and the design of the control group is post-test. Based on the prerequisite test these two groups are not homogeneous and not normally distributed. From the results of research using the Mann Whiteney test, it is known that the Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.00 0 which is less than 0.05. So, according to the basis for making a decision on the Mann Whitney U test, it can be concluded that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. This shows that there are significant differences in learning outcomes in the experimental class and the control class. The findings from this study indicate that Mentimeter media can effectively improve critical thinking skills.

This research investigates the English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ perception of the pros and cons of synchronous and asynchronous online learning for EFL students in Saudi Arabia. 121 EFL teachers from public schools in different regions participated in this study. A questionnaire has been used to collect this study’s main data and distributed it online to all EFL teachers in Saudi Arabia. After the statistical analysis of data, the study’s main findings revealed that the advantages of synchronous learning are helping learners reduce space barriers and saving time for learners. However, the main disadvantages of synchronous learning are the disruption of the internet: slow speed, the miscommunication of learners and getting bored through learning. The main findings for the advantages of asynchronous learning are the chances for learners to replay the lesson many times, the opportunities for learners to have more time for thinking, and the opportunities for learners to enhance autonomy and self-regulated learning. However, the disadvantages perceived by the participants were that asynchronous learning requires more responsibilities from learners in self-controlling, self-motivation, and autonomous learning skills. This study is one of the few studies investigating and comparing EFL teachers’ perceptions of synchronous and asynchronous online learning. Therefore, this research could serve the Ministry of Education by exploring the challenges that instructors face in teaching and highlighting the advantages of online teaching to increase awareness among Saudi teachers of its essential role in EFL learning.

This chapter provides a perspective on technological applications that can be used to achieve and maintain learner motivation in online learning environments. In this context, it focuses on the definition of online learning, motivation, and motivation models used in online learning environments, which form the theoretical basis of the book chapter. The chapter emphasizes that learner motivation is an important issue in online learning environments. It then explains the role and importance of Web 2.0 tools in teaching processes and learner motivation. Finally, Web 2.0 tools, including technological applications that can be used to motivate learners in online learning environments, are discussed in detail. The chapter provides the rationale for including appropriate Web 2.0 tools in the process by designing motivational instruction in the light of theoretical foundations to ensure learner motivation in online learning environments.
