Designing for Change in University Teaching Practices:Mayela Coto Chotto : A Community of Practice Approach to Facilitate University Teacher Professional Development in ICT and Project-Oriented Problem Pedagogy
To what extent are faculty ready to participate in the OER movement? : The case of the Informatics School, UNA
The success and sustainability of the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement depends to a large extent on large-scale participation in the use and production of educational resources. The aim of this paper was to explore faculty staff knowledge and behaviors about OER with a focus on resource sharing attitudes. The study was conducted at the School of Informatics of the National University of Costa Rica. Faculty were invited to respond to a questionnaire. The respondents indicated being open to the idea of sharing their own content and, as in other studies, demonstrated existing practices of sharing resources among their colleagues at the local level. However, there is little knowledge about OER and CC licenses, as well as concern about intellectual property rights, factors that hinder their participation in the movement.Sociedad Argentina de Informática e Investigación Operativa (SADIO
Modelo Colaborativo y Ubicuo para apoyar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje a nivel Iberoamericano
The new professionals require higher levels of knowledge, continuous updating of information, and acquisition of technological skills, synthesis and critical thinking in order to adapt to the new economic models. This implies the need for current educational systems to evolve in order to continue preparing people, considering the advantages offered by new information and communications technology. The u-learning or ubiquitous learning is a new learning model available in different channels simultaneously and in a fully distributed environment, describing a series of training activities, supported by the use of technology, which can be accessed anywhere, anyway. This article describes a model of ubiquitous and collaborative teaching and learning using different interaction devices, allowing not only to learn but to acquire communication, cooperation, and teamwork skills continuously. This model was led by a team of Iberoamerican researchers. Besides, a technological platform design is presented in order to support the model proposed, and a preliminary validation is performed using a reduced group of participants, obtaining interesting preliminary results, where the software tool was considered adequate for teachers to create courses in a collaborative and ubiquitous manner, and for students to participate in a better way. A validation with a bigger group of students and teachers is proposed for a further work.Los nuevos esquemas económicos plantean retos para los profesionales, debido a que se hace necesario la adquisición de mejores niveles de conocimiento, la continua actualización de la información, la adquisición de habilidades tecnológicas, la capacidad de síntesis y el pensamiento crítico. Esto implica la necesidad de que los sistemas educativos actuales evolucionen, con el objetivo de seguir preparando a las personas, contando por supuesto con las ventajas que ofrecen las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. El u-learning o aprendizaje ubicuo, es un nuevo modelo de aprendizaje que describe un conjunto de actividades formativas, apoyadas en el uso de tecnología, que pueden ser accesibles en cualquier lugar y de cualquier forma. Este artículo presenta un modelo de enseñanza-aprendizaje colaborativo y ubicuo (u-CSCL) a partir del uso de herramientas tecnológicas actuales, utilizando diferentes dispositivos de interacción, permitiendo no sólo aprender continuamente sino adquirir habilidades comunicativas, de cooperación y trabajo grupal. Su desarrollo ha sido liderado en conjunto por un grupo de investigadores de universidades a nivel Iberoamericano. Además se presenta el diseño de una plataforma tecnológica que soporta el modelo y se hace una valoración inicial de la misma, con un grupo reducido de participantes, que permitió obtener datos preliminares conducentes a la mejora de la plataforma, pero también ratificaron que la herramienta propuesta permite y facilita a los docentes la creación de cursos de forma colaborativa y ubicua, y a los estudiantes les brinda la posibilidad de participar en las actividades colaborativas propuestas, propiciando así el desarrollo de conocimiento conjunto. En una segunda fase se proponer seguir validando el entorno, para obtener mayores resultados y más precisos
Tendencias de investigación en el aprendizaje ubicuo: un micro estudio de publicaciones seleccionadas del 2000 al 2015
This article analyzes trends in ubiquitous learning research during the period 2000-2015. We searched for articles in English and Spanish that specifically addressed the topics of "ubiquitous learning" or "aprendizaje ubicuo". The selected papers were analyzed in the following categories: target population, subject area, type of contribution, country, publication media and type of paper. The results indicate that most of the initiatives are directed towards primary education; they do not address a specific subject area; and they contribute to the ubiquitous learning domain with the development of technology platforms. The country that has a dominant presence is Taiwan; the more prevalent publication journals are Computers and Education and Journal of Educational Technology & Society; and the kind of articles that are published have an orientation towards practical applications. The results serve as reference for educators and researchers who wish to contribute to this domain of knowledge, and for government authorities and educational institutions planning to promote and facilitate ubiquitous learning.Este artículo analiza el alcance de la investigación en el aprendizaje ubicuo durante el período 2000-2015, para lo cual se revisaron artículos en inglés y en español que abordaran expresamente el tópico de “ubiquitous learning” o “aprendizaje ubicuo”. Los artículos seleccionados se analizaron en las siguientes categorías: población meta, área temática abordada, tipo de contribución, país, medio de publicación y tipo de artículo. Los resultados indican que la mayor parte de las iniciativas están dirigidas hacia la educación primaria, no abordan un área temática específica y contribuyen al aprendizaje ubicuo con el desarrollo de plataformas tecnológicas. El país que tiene una presencia dominante es Taiwán, los medios de mayor publicación son Computers and Education y Journal of Educational Technology & Society, y el tipo de artículos que más se publica tiene una orientación hacia la propuesta de aplicaciones prácticas. Los resultados obtenidos sirven de referencia para quienes desde la docencia e investigación desean contribuir con este dominio del conocimiento, y para las autoridades gubernamentales y de instituciones educativas que planeen promover y facilitar el aprendizaje ubicuo
Motivating Students Through Positive Learning Experiences: A Comparison of Three Learning Designs for Computer Programming Courses
Based on the assumption that wellbeing influences learning, the aim of this paper is to provide insight into students’ emotional responses to different learning designs. By comparing three different learning designs their respective influence on students’ feelings about and motivation for learning is discussed.This experimental, controlled comparison study was conducted in an introductory computer programming course. The three learning designs were: 1. A classical teacher-lead course; 2. A problem based learning (PBL) course; and 3. A PBL course combined with the use of LEGO Mindstorms Robots.Three different studies were used for data collection: 1. A questionnaire survey with 229 students from groups exposed to the three different learning designs; 2. Six qualitative walk-alongs collecting data from these groups by informal interviews and observations; 3. Class room observations. Findings from the three studies were discussed in three focus group interviews with 10 students from each learning design.The research was conducted among first year students in Computer Science at the Informatics School, Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica.
