"They Look at Themselves and Think: 'Well, okay...'":The Contribution of Video Technology to Professional Identity Development

This paper focuses on the development of professional identity by the use of video technology. On the basis of empirical material from a professional bachelor’s e-learning programme, it is argued that the use of video can contribute to reflection of professional identity through its opportunities for visual reification of the professional “Me”: while acting in profession-like settings, the students experience their professional actions from an inside “I”-perspective, but while watching themselves on the video recording of it later on, they can see, reflect and evaluate their professional “Me” from an outside perspective in the role of the professional other. </jats:p

The Paradoxes of Emergency Remote Teaching

This article presents and discusses some of the paradoxes that educators in the higher education sector encountered during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It takes a fresh look at data from a study involving 3,000 teachers and 20,000 students as the empirical background in the form of both quantitative and qualitative material. Based on a paradoxical-theoretical perspective, the article looks at the experiences of educators who had to teach online - some of them for the first time. The article finds that the lockdowns led to teaching and learning situations in an online format which were paradoxically different from both familiar on-site and online teaching

Learning analytics som udgangspunkt for refleksion over didaktisk design i blended learning

Denne artikel vil tage udgangspunkt i learning analytics, som et nyt felt i forskningen inden for bl.a. it-didaktisk design, og artiklen vil argumentere for, at learning analytics kan og bør bidrage til designrefleksioner. Med udgangspunkt i empiri fra et blended learning-baseret mastermodul ved [X] Universitet vil artiklen præsentere, analysere og diskutere to cases, hvori learning analytics spiller en central rolle. I den ene case undersøges det, hvordan studerende bruger og interagerer med video podcasts som forberedelse til face-to-face undervisning, når podcasten henviser til andre læringsressourcer hhv. fungerer som stand-alone ressource. I den anden case undersøges, – ligeledes gennem learning analytics – hvilken indflydelse øjenkontakt har for de studerendes interaktion med video podcasts og for deres udbytte af dens indhold. Artiklen peger på, hvordan et mix af kvantitative og kvalitative data kan bidrage til at udvide forståelse af studerendes læring og interaktioner med læringsressourcer, og den argumenterer for, at der med inddragelse af learning analytics kan skabes anledning til nye refleksioner over et didaktisk design

Teknologistøttet simulationsundervisning som translokation for teoretisk viden og praktisk handlen

I professionsuddannelser arbejdes der med refleksioner og arbejdsformer, der på forskellig vis sammenkæder teoretisk viden med viden om praktisk handlen. Alligevel problematiseres transferværdien af læringen fra professionsuddannelserne, idet det har vist sig, at der kan være lang vej fra viden om teori og handlen til faktisk handlen i en ofte meget kompleks konkret praksis.I denne artikel diskuterer vi med cases fra et forsknings- og innovationsprojekt i sygeplejerskeuddannelsen, hvordan teknologistøttet simulationsundervisning (i form af bl.a. inddragelse af programmerbare manikiner) kan fungere som sted for translokationer mellem den teoretiske viden, den professionsfaglige handlen og refleksioner herover.Abstract in EnglishIn order to link theoretical knowledge with action in practice, professional bachelor programs employ various methods of teaching and diverse approaches aimed at promoting students’ reflective thinking. Still, the transfer value from the learning outcome in the professional bachelor programs to professional practice is discussed. Thus, it has been shown that knowledge about theory and action is not automatically operational for supporting actual action in the professional practice that is often very complex.Using cases from a research- and innovation project in nursing education as a starting point, we in this paper discuss how technology enhanced simulations (including the use of programmable mannequins) can function as translocations between theoretical knowledge, professional action and reflections concerning both
