Disrupting education using smart mobile pedagogies
© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019. As mobile technologies become more multifaceted and ubiquitous in society, educational researchers are investigating the use of these technologies in education. A growing body of evidence shows that traditional pedagogies still dominate the educational field and are misaligned with the diverse learning opportunities offered by the use of mobile technologies. There is an imperative to question those traditional notions of education, including how, where and when teaching and learning are enacted, and to explore the possible mediating roles of new mobile technologies. New smart pedagogies, which embrace the affordances offered by mobile technologies, have the potential to disrupt notions of schooling. In this chapter, we examine the nature of smart pedagogies and their intersection with mobile pedagogies. We unpack notions of innovation and disruption. We then discuss smart mobile learning activities for school students identified from a Systematic Literature Review, together with the pedagogical principles underpinning them. We argue to encourage smart pedagogies, teacher educators should support teachers to implement âfeasible disruptionsâ. Consequently, implications for teacher education are explored
Improved Agronomic Practices for Sustainable Yam Production: The on Farm Experience
Pratiques agronomiques amĂ©liorĂ©es pour une production durable de l'igname: l'expĂ©rience Ă la ferme RĂ©sumĂ© La production d'igname au Ghana et dans d'autres pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest se caractĂ©rise par un dĂ©placement annuel de la terre Ă la terre Ă la recherche de sols fertiles contribuant Ă la dĂ©forestation et Ă la dĂ©gradation des terres. Il est donc nĂ©cessaire de relever ce dĂ©fi grĂące Ă une technologie innovante d'utilisation des terres qui permettrait de soutenir la production en dĂ©pit des dĂ©fis. L'objectif spĂ©cifique de l'Ă©tude Ă©tait de vĂ©rifier et de dĂ©montrer un ensemble agronomique amĂ©liorĂ© pour la production d'igname durable dans les communautĂ©s d'igname d'Ejura et d'Atebubu dans l'Ă©cologie transitionnelle forĂȘt-savane du Ghana. Deux lots de traitement de pratiques agronomiques amĂ©liorĂ©es et de pratiques des paysans/paysannes ont Ă©tĂ© organisĂ©s dans le cadre de la conception de blocs complets randomisĂ©s sur un total de 8 champs d'agriculteurs comprenant chacun 4 dans la communautĂ© d'Ejura et d'Atebubu. Le paquet agronomique amĂ©liorĂ© consistait en l'utilisation de billons comme couche desemis, traitement des semences avec insecticide et fongicide, application d'engrais Ă un taux de 45:45:60 N: P2 05: K20 kg/ha et utilisation d'un tuteurage minimum (treillis; % nombre de piquets utilisĂ©s dans le jalonnement des agriculteurs). Cela a Ă©tĂ© comparĂ© Ă la pratique des agriculteurs, qui consistait en une mise en tas, pas d'application d'engrais et pas de traitement des semences. Les rĂ©sultats ont rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© des rendements en tubercules d'igname trĂšs Ă©levĂ©s (P †0,05) de 196% et 205% dans les champs agronomiques amĂ©liorĂ©s par rapport aux champs de pratique des agriculteurs dans les communautĂ©s agricoles d'Ejura et d'Atebubu respectivement. L'Ă©tude avait dĂ©montrĂ© que l'extension des emballages agronomiques amĂ©liorĂ©s permettrait de maintenir la production d'igname dans les champs cultivĂ©s en continu et de rĂ©soudre le problĂšme de la dĂ©forestation associĂ© Ă la production d'igname.Mots clĂ©s: DĂ©forestation; DĂ©gradation du sol; Application d'engrais; champ de culture continue; La pratique des agriculteur

Assessing Alignment of Patient and Clinician Perspectives on Community Health Resources for Chronic Disease Management
Addressing social determinants of health (SDoH) is associated with improved clinical outcomes for patients with chronic diseases in safety-net settings. This qualitative study supplemented by descriptive quantitative analysis investigates the degree of alignment between patient and cliniciansâ perceptions of SDoH resources and referrals in clinics within the public healthcare delivery system in San Francisco. We conducted a qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews, patient-led neighborhood tours, and in-person clinic visit observations with 10 patients and 7 primary care clinicians. Using a convergent parallel mixed methodology, we also completed a descriptive quantitative analysis comparing the categories of neighborhood health resources mentioned by patients or community leaders to the resources integrated into the electronic health record. We found that patients held a wealth of knowledge about neighborhood resources relevant to SDoH that were highly localized and specific to their communities. In addition, multiple stakeholders were involved in conducting SDoH screenings and referrals, including clinicians, system navigators such as case workers, and community-based organizations. Yet, the information flow between these stakeholders and patients lacked systematization, and the prioritization of social needs by patients and clinicians was misaligned, as represented by qualitative themes as well as quantitative differences in resource category distribution analysis (p < 0.001). Our results shed light upon opportunities for strengthening social care delivery in safety-net healthcare settings by improving patient engagement, clinic workflow, EHR engagement, and resource dissemination
