In these times when there is talk of a return to a new normality in education after what happened due to the pandemic, it is necessary to permanently evaluate the perception of student satisfaction, contributing to the results obtained through traditional methods such as the survey, with methods in which open opinions can be analyzed as in the case of voice analysis. In this sense, this article describes a case study, which aims to identify the factors that influence student satisfaction with respect to teaching performance, based on the analysis of WhatsApp voice messaging. The study has a qualitative approach, exploratory level and non-experimental design. It was possible to identify various factors grouped into five categories: i) planning; ii) didactic strategies; iii) communication; iv) administration of the class session; and v) professional and personal characteristics of the teacher. Therefore, it is concluded that it is possible to close the gaps between the factors that are sensitive and relevant for the university, when a questionnaire with delimited questions is applied to observe only some factors of student satisfaction, with respect to those sensitive factors and relevant to students, by analyzing their comments from the use of voice messaging from mobile applications.

The courses of physics and mathematics are usually related. So, it is essential to transfer mathematical knowledge and skills to understand and solve a situation in physics. The main objective of this research is to identify teachers’ perceptions of physics mathematization. To highlight our objective, we used an analysis of textbooks and scientific literature to support a questionnaire for 141 physics teachers in the region of Fez, Meknes, Morocco. The teachers emphasized that to understand or solve problematic situations in physics it is important to go through mathematics. Still, the majority of them do not have clear ideas on how to do it. However, in the absence of a unified method, the teachers suggest some work techniques with their students whose contents are purely mathematized to overcome the difficulty of physics mathematization. This research is primarily related to curriculum development, teacher training, and the need to foster a deeper understanding of the relationship between mathematics and physics in the Moroccan educational system.

An improved real time detection transformer method for retail product detection

10.11591/ijai.v14.i5.pp4090-4100
Andi Wahyu Maulana , Suryo Adhi Wibowo
The main problem in retail product detection is intra-class variation, as some products have similar but distinct characteristics. The primary goal of this study is to address the problem of object detection on intra-class variation in retail environments. As a result, a new approach for object detection of retail products was developed by modifying the Real Time Detection Transformer (RT-DETR) model. To manage intra-class variation more successfully, the RT-DETR model is updated by modifying its architecture. There are two convolutions in the Contextual Cross-Feature Module (CCFM) fusion block section, which is adjusted by adding one convolution layer to each CCFM fusion block. A customized dataset was meticulously constructed to reflect the wide range of products frequently seen in retail outlets. For the constructed datasets, tests were run using the mean Average Precision (mAP) metric, which had a mAP0.5 of 99.5% and a mAP0.5:0.95 of 88.2%. The updated model is superior compared to original model. The difference in mAP0.5:0.95 was 2.5%, while precision increased by 1.3% and recall increased by 0.1%. Although the mAP0.5 results stay unchanged, the gains in the other metrics suggest that the RT-DETR model modifications can improve object detection skills, particularly when dealing with intra-class variation in retail merchandise.

10.11591/ijeecs.v40.i1.pp67-77
Walter Naranjo Lourido , Jhon Manuel Sanchez Fierro , Diana Paola Monroy Cadena , Javier Eduardo Martínez Baquero
This article presents the design of a modular pure sine wave microinverter with a high-efficiency maximum power point tracking (MPPT) regulator for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The design starts with a DC/DC buck-boost chopper regulator, simulated using the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm. Next, a high-frequency DC/AC conversion stage is implemented using a toroidal transformer to achieve various voltage levels and isolated power sources. Finally, a 27-level multilevel inverter is designed to produce a pure sine wave with minimal total harmonic distortion (THD). Simulation results indicate that the microinverter achieves a total efficiency of 90% and produces a pure wave output with 3% harmonic distortion. Compared to commercial solutions, the proposed design enhances efficiency while integrating key components. Additionally, the system maintains a cost-effectiveness and directly proportional to its energy efficiency, making it a viable and cost-effective solution for PV energy conversion.

Felix Oromena Egara , Moeketsi Mosia
This study investigated the effectiveness of game-based learning in enhancing students’ interest in trigonometry among secondary school students in Enugu State, Nigeria. The study addressed the need for increased engagement and interest in trigonometry by leveraging successful implementations of game-based learning from other educational contexts. A true experimental design with a repeated measures approach was employed, involving senior secondary two (SS 2) students randomly assigned to either the experimental or the control group. The experimental group received trigonometry instruction through game-based learning, while the control group followed traditional teaching methods. The data collection instrument was the trigonometry interest inventory (TII) used to assess students’ interest levels at three points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up. The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was utilized to analyze changes in interest levels over time and between groups. The findings revealed two key findings: i) game-based learning significantly increased students’ interest in trigonometry and ii) gender, age, and location did not significantly affect the effectiveness of the game-based learning approach in fostering students’ interest in trigonometry. The study concludes that game-based learning effectively enhances students’ interest in trigonometry, offering implications for educators to improve mathematics teaching practices through interactive and engaging strategies.

Reflective writing skills among pre service teachers: a scoping review

10.11591/ijere.v14i5.28620
J. A. Mary Kumari , G. S. Prakasha
Reflection is a soul-searching process. It is an innate ability to delve down the memory lane to judge a reaction to a particular situation as right or wrong as a response. The positive reactions are reinforced and the ineffective negative ones are relinquished. Developing reflective skills among preservice teachers include regular reflective practice sessions. They have to painstakingly record all their reflections after the delivery of each lesson as part of their curriculum along with other reflective practice opportunities. This effort should lead to evolution of professional practitioner in the long run. Although, there are factors affecting its development, preservice teachers seem to do it more monotonously without much reflective learning. Their reflective writing skills are way behind the expected level. This study adopts the research design outline advocated by Arksey and O’Malley. The study appraised the research studies conducted from 2015 to 2024 as a part of scoping review. The study throws light on the various aspects related to the teacher-trainees’ reflective writing skills. Future studies may focus on empirical validation of the reflective writing skills among preservice teachers.
