“…This study’s results indicate that students perceived a high overall value for experiential learning, suggesting that they believed the experience was relevant to real-world applications and would be useful in future experiences. The ELS survey results also showed student interest in the activity and the learning process, which corresponds with established research on experiential learning (Mesny, 2013), HSEM experiential learning (Cozine, 2015), and previous applications of the ELS instrument (Clem et al, 2014; Hefley & Thouin, 2016).…”

Background: Experiential learning is a common instructional method for Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) education. Purpose: The purpose of this research was to pilot the use of the experiential learning survey (ELS) tool in determining student perceptions of the value and contribution of experiential learning methods in HSEM higher education. Methodology/Approach: The descriptive quantitative study used a census sampling strategy, administering the ELS to students in a graduate HSEM capstone course incorporating experiential opportunities. Findings/Conclusions: Students reported a high level of satisfaction and engagement with the course’s experiential education in part due to its applicability to real-world professional concerns. This included high scores for measures of effectiveness within the ELS subscales. Building on the development and application of the ELS to other fields, the subscales and global scale had good reliability for this study. Implications: This first application of ELS in HSEM education provides insight into student perceptions toward experiential learning practices, and as a tool for evaluating these approaches to HSEM higher education. This pilot supports the ELS as a potential tool in developing research-based practices for instructional development and curriculum evaluations in disciplines incorporating experiential learning.

“…Perkembangan kognitif sangat diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan otak (Manggena & Sanubari, 2017). Hal ini berkaitan dan memiliki dampak positif terhadap peningkatan kemampuan argumentasi ilmiah (Ault et al, 2015) dan berpikir kritis (Cozine, 2015) peserta didik. Sifat game yang menarik dan addicted juga banyak dijadikan sebagai landasan pengembangan media pembelajaran khususnya bahan ajar.…”

Pengembangan sumber belajar berbasis android menjadi salah satu solusi dalam proses pembelajaran pada era digitalisasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1) mendeskripsikan produk bahan ajar berbasis android terintegrasi game logika yang selanjutnya disebut dengan BABAGO; 2) menguji kelayakan BABAGO; 3) menganalisis respon peserta didik terhadap BABAGO. Jenis penelitian ini adalah research and development (R&D) dengan menggunakan model ADDIE. Subjek uji coba penelitian yakni peserta didik kelas VIII di SMP Negeri 15 Mataram. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi dan pembagian kuesioner. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara kualitatif dengan menggunakan Flesch Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) dan kuantitatif menggunakan statistik deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) BABAGO meliputi unsur-unsur: a) identitas, b) kompetensi dasar, c) petunjuk penggunaan, d) materi, e) praktikum mandiri, f) kuis, dan g) game logika: 2) BABAGO terbukti layak digunakan dilihat dari hasil validasi ahli sebesar 0,92 (sangat valid) dan uji keterbacaan dengan menggunakan Flesch Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) sebesar 7,9 (mudah dipahami): dan 3) peserta didik memberikan respon positif terhadap BABAGO dengan respon sebesar 0,76 (baik). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa BABAGO terbukti layak dan dapat digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran.

“…However, in many cases the data analysis is not presented, offering an experience without learning process or empirical impact data. Cozine et al [75] examine the pedagogical approach to incorporate game play, specifically probability-based tabletop exercises, into course curricula and collected survey data from students enrolled in the courses. Ottis [46] presents a light weight tabletop exercise format that has been successfully used in cybersecurity education to demonstrate these and many other concepts to master level students.…”

Cybersecurity exercises are gaining in popularity in university curricula and professional training paths and are seen as an effective teaching method. Such exercises provide digital datasets to facilitate a learning analytics approach such as by using the traces that learners leave behind to improve the learning process and environment. While there are various learning measurement efforts from digital datasets in the existing literature, a holistic learning analytics approach incorporated into cybersecurity exercises is still lacking. We propose a practical reference model for incorporating a learning analytics approach into the cybersecurity exercise life-cycle. To facilitate this application, we have performed an extensive review of existing academic research on applying learning analytics in the context of cybersecurity exercises. We specifically focus on the learning indicators used to measure empirical impact and training effectiveness that could indicate achievement of defined learning outcomes. This reference model and overview of existing learning analytics use cases and learning metrics in various types of exercises can help educators, organisers and cyber range developers. This results in more adaptive exercise design and measurement using evidencebased data and connects digital learning traces to skills and competencies.
