Nuotolinis suaugusiųjų mokymas(is) mokymosi visą gyvenimą kontekste

The lifelong learning paradigm opens vast possibilities of returning to learning and flexible participation in learning for adults. This concept emphasizes modern learner-centered learning forms that allow adults to learn according to their possibilities, pace and timing. Effective application of distance learning and its elements in lifelong learning process remains to be an issue. The article presents results of a research about possibilities of distance learning application, including results of teacher and learner survey. The survey results include aspects of motivation for participation in distance learning, learning forms that are being used, the most burning issues and differences of teacher and learner attitudes. The survey results demonstrate that the elements of distance education are being employed through the paradigm of traditional learning as the most frequently used elements of distance education are provision of references or Internet sources. Teachers who work in the mode of distance education employ different teaching methods, but the most frequent is independent work, provision of information, development of independent skills, practical assignments. The major motivation for distance education is personal interest and convenience. The teacher respondents emphasized the importance of sufficient resources, especially human resources. The survey analysis has showed that the elements of distance education are the most often used in educational establishments and rather rarely in business enterprises and vocational training schools. Distance education in business is the target of the future and its success will depend on the accessibility and quality of these services.Socialinių mokslų (edukologijos) daktarėVytauto Didžiojo universitetoSocialinių mokslų fakultetoEdukologijos katedraK.

GEBĖJIMO VEIKTI SAVARANKIŠKAI RAIŠKA UNIVERSITETINIŲ STUDIJŲ METU (SOCIALINIŲ MOKSLŲ SRITIES ATVEJIS

The main function of higher education institutions is to prepare students for their future activity, to develop their creative strengths, critical thinking, problem solving and constructive communication skills. One of the most important abilities of an active, responsible individual who can act independently is self-management, i.e. being able to plan and organise one’s learning process and ability to reflect. A university research has revealed that some 1st -year and 4th -year social science students describe learning independence as student’s participation in planning, monitoring, correcting, and assessing one’s own learning process and results. The emphasis is put on creativity, ability to make right decisions in a new learning situation when putting the present and new knowledge together, search for more diverse solutions, taking responsibility for the learning process and future outcomes. Socialinių mokslų (edukologija) daktarė docentėVytauto Didžiojo universitetoSocialinių mokslų fakultetoEdukologijos katedraK.

Edukologinio eksperimento tinkamumo ir patikimumo planavimas

Experimental research is a well known research method in biomedicine, technical and physical sciences. Different definitions of an experiment depend on the science where an experiment is used, on the goals of an experiment, how it is organized, etc. One of the urgent problems is the lack of information on planning an experimental research in education. The first part of the dissertation covers scientific research and document analysis that helps to emphasize the place of an experiment among other research methods, to present the variety of experiments, the phases of an experiment, to define the validity and reliability factors of an experiment, and to construct the model of planning of an experiment evaluating validity and reliability. The survey of dissertations defended in 1996-2005 showed that 30 percent of doctoral students use an experiment combining it with other research methods. An experiment is used in research by those doctoral students who come from education institutions preparing their specialists for education activities. Analysis showed that an experiment is often combined with other research results, most often with literature analysis, survey and monitoring. Survey with doctoral students in education showed that the attitude of doctoral students changes towards planning and implementation of research, and students are able to combine different research methods. However, experiment planning is confused with planning and implementation of research. Doctoral students do not analyse empirical data analysis statistical methods and confuse them. Aiming to clarify how an experiment is used in practice, a half-structure interview was organized. It revealed that doctoral students confuse experiment with planning dissertational research. Doctoral students do not emphasize and do not describe full experiment planning, as well as threats. The case analysis shows that research performed on the basis of the plan brings the results that are reliable and suitable for summarizing. The research proves that internal and external validity assurance model can be applied even to a non classical experiment with certain modifications in the model, ignoring some factors that are not vital for a selected scheme or scenario.Disertacijoje analizuojamas eksperimentas kaip tyrimo metodas. Pirmojoje dalyje pristatoma mokslinės literatūros ir dokumentų analizė, kurios pagalba išryškinta eksperimento kaip tyrimo metodo vieta kitų tyrimų atžvilgiu, pristatyta eksperimentų įvairovė, eksperimento planavimo etapai, išskirti eksperimento tinkamumo bei patikimumo faktoriai bei sukonstruotas modelis eksperimento planavimui, įvertinant tinkamumą bei patikimumą. Empirinėje dalyje disertacijų, apgintų 1996-2005 metais, analizė, tęstinė doktorantų apklausa bei interviu parodė, kad apie 30 proc. disertantų naudoja eksperimentą, derindami jį su kitais tyrimo metodais. Disertaciniuose darbuose eksperimentą dažniausiai taiko tų aukštųjų mokyklų, kurios rengia specialistus ugdomajai veiklai, doktorantai. Anketinės edukologijos doktorantų apklausos rezultatai rodo, kad studijų eigoje keičiasi doktorantų požiūris į tyrimo planavimą ir vykdymą, studentai geba derinti įvairius tyrimo metodus, ryškėja tendencija naudoti kokybinius tyrimo metodus. Tačiau eksperimento planavimas yra painiojamas su disertacinio tyrimo planavimu bei tyrimo vykdymu. Bandomąjį eksperimentą atlieka ne visi, kai kurie prieš eksperimento atlikimą organizuoja tik apklausas. Planuojant tyrimą dažnai nėra numatomi duomenų apdorojimo metodai. Atvejo analizė rodo, kad pagal sudarytą modelį atlikto tyrimo rezultatai yra patikimi ir tinkami apibendrinimui. Atliktas tyrimas rodo, kad sudarytas išorinio ir vidinio tinkamumo užtikrinimo modelis gali būti taikomas net ir ne klasikinio eksperimento schemai.Vytauto Didžiojo universiteta

Location of education researches in changing society

Every teacher knows what education is and what it should be. However, educational practice today buildings upon the new paradigm of learning demands that teacher not only passively intercepted he knowledge of education science, but were active participants creating it. This can be achieved only by means of scientific research. There are .four different classifications for researches: by level; by nature; by type; by circumstance. These classifications are important to know when we going to start research. Educational researches enable to improve existing programs, teaching process, situation in education. Researches could show an existing (current) situation and a desired situation. Only after analysis of these two points experts of educational system or we could take actions to evaluate and to change current situation in direction of a desired situation
