Media Technology in Education
This volume offers rare perspectives examining the influence of media technology on learning patterns and behaviours among today’s youth in Uganda. The various contributions from international scholars discuss general introductory aspects dealing with the fabric and structure of Uganda’s society and educational institutions, and how they are affected by new media technology and innovations. Next to outlining the increasing challenge to unify traditional patterns and the adaptation of media-based practices that modern societies are built upon, the book offers detailed insight into practical solutions that serve as inspiring examples of how to successfully bridge the gap between the two. While titles on youth and media tend to focus on a Western perspective, the proposed volume enables a closer look at things in a country and a region often neglected by researchers. The work offers a specific examination of media and education provided by national and international scholars.
What Is the Role for Effective Pedagogy In Contemporary Higher Education?
The number of students entering into Higher Education (HE) continues to grow and as such the sector now stands at the threshold of a major shift in its philosophy. No longer does the academic prerogative belong to a generation who valued learning for the sake of enlightenment. Many contemporary undergraduate students enter their programmes of study with a primary desire to improve their position on the subsequent employability market. Universities have been quick to meet this need and institutional offerings have followed suit, enabling students to gain experience in a range of additional and subsidiary programmes that focus on the provision of 'value added' benefits. Here, students are enco...
Homework, Learning and Academic Success: The Role of Family and Contextual Variables
The main purpose of this Research Topic is to analyze and identify the main family and contextual variables that are involved in the process of carrying out homework. This will require studying the role played by teachers, students, and families in order to ensure that schoolwork is a useful learning tool. Although the role of the student is, obviously, crucial in homework, research has focused on the cumulative time spent by the student carrying out homework. However, the time spent on homework is not in itself evidence of the student’s involvement nor is time spent indicative of quality time. Indeed, an excess of time can sometimes denote low competence in a field of knowledge, while spe...
Research on Emotion and Learning: Contributions from Latin America
Latin America has increased its share of world scientific publications by nearly twofold during the last two decades (approximately from 2 to 4%). Despite this positive trend, the scholarly impact of scientific research produced in the region - measured in terms of citation rate - remains low. Two interrelated factors that contribute to this situation is that most research groups tend to work in isolation or in local sporadic collaboration, and results are often published in journals that are not indexed in major citation databases (e.g., SCOPUS, or Web of Science). Ultimately, part of Latin American high-quality research seems to remain hidden from the rest of the world. Over the last decad...
