Speech Title: Supporting First Generation Learners For Academic Success Through The Use Of Suitable Teaching Methods
Abstract: First generation learners face numerous challenges when entering the tertiary education environment. These challenges often cause first generation learners to experience higher failure rates. Simultaneously universities which receive subsidy from government, based on pass rates, are under constant pressure to increase their pass rates. The student population has become more diverse over the last decade putting even more pressure on tertiary establishments. Students’ learning preferences have changed meaning that lecturers have to adjust their conventional teaching methods to accommodate the diverse student population. Students experience adjusting to the tertiary environment as difficult and stressful. First year students are often not well prepared for the new challenges and the high dropout rates remain a serious concern for institutions. First-generation learners are students whose parents have no education after high school or students of parents who have not graduated from a tertiary institution. In addition to the normal obstacles experienced at university, first generation learners have to adjust to even more challenges which could include the inability to understand the language of instruction and inadequate preparation in subjects such as mathematics and science. Low income status, serious financial problems, non-existent parental curricular involvement and limited support from families are a few of the additional challenges. In order to improve the chances of academic success it is crucial to determine the unique teaching needs of these students and to identify suitable teaching methods to teach first generation learners. These needs and teaching methods will be discussed during the paper presentation at the ICFET conference.

Speech Title:The Contextualized Online Game-based Learning in Technology Education
Abstract: The present study defined three levels of contextualized media and investigated their influences on students' science attitudes, comprehension, and argumentation. To achieve the purpose, an online game‐based science argumentation (OGSA) program was developed for the experiments (N = 148). The OGSA included three versions for student argumentation regarding the use of contextualized medias: the mildly, moderately, and highly contextualized medias. For each version, the students had to play two types of games, find‐the‐fault and find‐the‐difference games, to complete one topic of argumentation learning. We found that the highly contextualized group students had the best performances of their science learning and argumentation. However, to produce highly contextualized media was a time‐consuming task although it provided the students with contextualization cues to connect the learning to their prior knowledge.

Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō) is Japan's capital and the world's most populous metropolis. It is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, consisting of 23 central city wards and multiple cities, towns and villages west of the city center. The Izu and Ogasawara Islands are also part of Tokyo.

Prior to 1868, Tokyo was known as Edo. A small castle town in the 16th century, Edo became Japan's political center in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there. A few decades later, Edo had grown into one of the world's most populous cities. With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the emperor and capital moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo ("Eastern Capital"). Large parts of Tokyo were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and in the air raids of 1945.

Today, Tokyo offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining to its visitors. The city's history can be appreciated in districts such as Asakusa and in many excellent museums, historic temples and gardens. Contrary to common perception, Tokyo also offers a number of attractive green spaces in the city center and within relatively short train rides at its outskirts..
