Do you have difficulty managing a class discussion with 30 students? Do you feel like certain students dominate in large group settings making it hard to get everyone involved and staying on task? Consider using a fishbowl discussion format. This strategy allows you to have an intense discussion with only half of your class while the other half observes and analyzes the interactions. 1. For a class of 30, prepare 15 fishbowl index cards and 15 goldfish index cards. Place the cards in a basket and ask students to draw cards randomly. 2. Students who draw goldfish cards will form the inside circle. They will be the ones to have the discussion. Warn them in advance that they will be carefully observed and data will be collected on their discussion. 3. The students who pull out fishbowl cards will form the outside circle. They will be observing only. It is like they are peering into a fishbowl and watching the goldfish. These students will complete a data gathering sheet.

Strategies that work.

With the increasing use of social media, social media addiction has rapidly become a widespread problem that affects the well-being and performance of university students. Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms among young people and it has specific features leading to problematic and addictive use. This study aims to explore the effects of self-esteem, procrastination, and Instagram addiction on the academic performance of university students. Therefore, the direct and indirect relationships between self-esteem, Instagram addiction, procrastination, and academic performance were investigated. A survey study was conducted with 378 university students from Turkey by using structural equation modelling. The results show that Instagram addiction has a significant effect on procrastination, while it has no significant effect on academic performance. Nevertheless, the relationship between Instagram addiction and academic performance is mediated by procrastination. Furthermore, the results show that self-esteem has a direct significant effect on Instagram addiction and procrastination, whereas it has an indirect effect on academic performance mediated by procrastination.

Role of Instagram Addiction on Academic Performance among Turkish University Students: Mediating Effect of Procrastination

This study’s main purpose was to examine the psychometric properties of FoMOs’ adaptation among the Indonesian adolescents’ population. The second aim was to investigate the concurrent validity of the Indonesian version to provide evidence for the validity. Also, FoMOs’ difference level between demographic variance analyses was performed. The study involved a cross-sectional online survey design with 638 Indonesian adolescents aged 16–24 (M = 19.08, SD = 14.70). FoMO was measured by a 16-item that has been modified from the original 10-item. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out to study its scores’ evidence of structural validity. Besides, to study its scores’ evidence of convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity concerning other variables such as stress, anxiety, and depression (Depression and Anxiety Stress Scale-21), and general health condition (General Health Questionnaire Scale-12), correlation analyses were conducted. To study the sensitivity, we assessed the effect of sociodemographic and social media use on the scale’s ability to identify the population’s risk to the FoMO by conducting analyses of variance. The Cronbach alpha values (α = .93) indicated that internal consistency of the scale was at an adequate level. Exploratory factorial analyses revealed adequate adjustment for the new version of the scale showing the three factorial structures. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the 12-item of Indonesian FoMO had a good fit (χ2/df = 289.324/51; goodness-of-fit index (GFI) = 0.928; RMSEA = 0.086; comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.915; normed fit index (NFI) = 0.899; parsimony normed fit index (PNFI) = .695; Tucker–Lewis index (TLI) = 0.890). This study has shown that the modified 12-item Fear of Missing Out Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for Indonesian adolescents. It showed that the Indonesian version of Fear of Missing Out Scale has adequate psychometric properties to measure Indonesian adolescents’ online behavior.

The purpose of this study was to describe the level of anxiety of students during online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in senior high school students. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method. Data analysis was performed using analysis from various scientific articles. The results showed that the level of student anxiety during online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic was different. This is due to the factors behind it, such as students' understanding of the material provided by the teacher, availability of internet network use, adequate facilities and infrastructure for taking part in online learning and the time for completing assignments which according to some students tends to be short.

Instagram addiction is a social phenomenon among adolescents that has been scantily researched. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of type D personality (social disinhibition and negative affectivity), self-esteem, and fear of missing out (FoMO) on Instagram addiction among teenagers. A total of 259 participants, type D personalities with severe Instagram addiction who live in Jakarta Greater Area obtained through screening results (based on their total scores). This research used snowball sampling dan regression techniques for data collection and analysis. Data analysis showed that all predictors affected 56.9% of Instagram addiction cases. Partially, it is known that only negative affectivity (one of type D personality factors) has no influence on Instagram addiction, which means that, the role of pure internal factors such as personality type D is not as significant as the combination of both external and internal factors such as fear of missing out and self-esteem in influencing Instagram addiction.

One result of the COVID-19 pandemic for the wider community, especially employees, is the need to carry out physical distancing in the form of work from home. This phenomenon certainly has consequences on the quality of life felt by employees.

Desain teknologi pada alat komunikasi saat ini merupakan implikasi dari apa yang sebenarnya terjadi dalam lingkungan komunikasi virtual. Lingkungan komunikasi virtual yang diciptakan melalui media elektronik, saat ini dikenal dengan istilah computer mediated communication (CMC). Meskipun beberapa penelitian sebelumnya mengenai CMC yang seringkali dibandingkan dengan percakapan face to face (FTF) telah diterapkan, namun pertanyaan di kalangan peneliti masih ada mengenai apakah efektivitas CMC dalam meningkatkan atau menurunkan proses kelompok? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan efektivitas pengambilan keputusan melalui FTF dan CMC. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dimana dalam pengambilan data menggunakan teknik eksperimen dengan metode analisis deskriptif kuantitatif dengan responden sebanyak delapan orang mahasiswi. Diskusi guna pengambilan keputusan pada kelompok CMC lebih berfokus pada tugas dan memiliki kualitas output yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kelompok FTF. Namun apabila dinilai dari segi efektivitas proses pengambilan keputusan kelompok berdasarkan persentase frekuensi kata-kata yang di luar konten, kelompok FTF lebih efektif karena hanya memiliki kata-kata di luar konten kurang dari 1%. Hal ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa tolak ukur efektivitas pengambilan keputusan kelompok melalui diskusi tidak hanya dilihat melalui jumlah kata yang dihasilkan, banyaknya kata di luar konteks, namun juga melibatkan kemampuan intelektual setiap anggota kelompok guna mencapai kualitas output yang baik. Keterbatasan penelitian ini terutama terletak pada segi budaya, karena kondisi yang disajikan sangat berbeda dengan konteks budaya dan kebiasaan di Indonesia. Selain itu keterbatasan sampel yang hanya menggunakan mahasiswi sebagai responden penelitian, pemilihan media komunikasi yang terbatas, kontrol yang kurang.
