Teacher Education in the 21st Century
In the face of unprecedented disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid acceleration of digital technologies, it is necessary to rethink the competences required by teachers for meeting new and flexible learning demands. Teacher training is an area constantly evolving along with emerging social challenges that are transforming educational institutions and agents. This book provides teachers with skills, innovative solutions, cutting-edge studies, and methodologies to meet education and training system demands. In our changing world, preparing teachers worldwide for the challenges and shifts of this era involves the opportunity to exchange theories, practices, and experiences such as those contained in this book.
Social Media Tools and Platforms in Learning Environments
Online social media have transformed the face of human interaction in the 21st century. Wikis, blogs, online groups and forums, podcasts, virtual worlds, and social tagging are but a few of the applications enabling innovative behaviors that support acquisition, access, manipulation, retrieval, and visualization of information. It is, therefore, no surprise that educational practitioners and theorists have begun to explore how social media can be harnessed to describe and implement new paradigms for communication, learning, and education. The editors’ goal in publishing this book was to identify original research on the application of online social media and related technologies in educati...
Innovations in Technology Enhanced Learning
Innovations in Technology Enhanced Learning, edited by Dr Anton Ravindran and Professor Liz Bacon, is a collection of state-of-the-art research papers discussing innovations in the area of technology enhanced learning in adult education. It was inspired by ideas presented at the annual Computer Science Education: Innovation and Technology Conferences, organized and administered by Global Science and Technology Forum (GSTF). Input for the twelve chapters have been sourced from ten geographically dispersed countries from across the world: USA, Spain, Portugal, UK, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Singapore, Iran and Australia, providing a truly international perspective on the field. With rapid developments in the technology and delivery mechanisms including the development of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), online learning is in the process of revolutionising higher education, which makes this book all the more relevant and timely.
Online Learning, Instruction, and Research in Post-Pandemic Higher Education in Africa
Online Learning, Instruction, and Research in Post-Pandemic Higher Education in Africa, edited by Martin Munyao, argues that beyond survival, universities need to adapt to technology-mediated communication learning in order to thrive. Disruptive technologies have recently proved to be means of thriving for institutions of higher learning. This book reflects on how leveraging on education technology has transformed teaching, learning, and research Higher Education Institutions (HEI) impacting Africa through digital transformation. In particular, HEIs are collaborating more now than ever before. Finally, this book addresses the challenges of teaching STEM programs online in Africa.
Handbook of Research on E-Learning Standards and Interoperability: Frameworks and Issues
Handbook of Research on E-Learning Standards and Interoperability: Frameworks and Issues promotes the discussion of specific solutions for increasing the interoperability of standalone and Web-based educational tools. This book investigates issues arising from the deployment of learning standards and provides relevant theoretical frameworks and leading empirical research findings. Chapters presented in this work are suitable for practitioners and researchers in the area of educational technology with a focus on content reusability and interoperability.
Reflective Practice Research in Higher Education Pedagogies
This anthology examines university lecturers' experiences with pedagogical practices across various higher education disciplines. The experiences are investigated by means of reflective practice research - a phenomenological and hermeneutical approach intended to make implicit practical knowledge explicit, and thus to develop a deeper understanding of professional practices. While instrumental practice research gives a practitioner knowledge of facts, reflective practice research gives the practitioner orientational knowledge, in line with a so-called kaleidoscopic epistemology.
Identity in a Hyperconnected Society
This book is about the formation of identity, primarily in adolescents, and the danger inherent in creating that identity in the context of a hyperconnected world. It provides scientific and regulatory pedagogical knowledge associated with these risks in creating identity, primarily among young people, arising from increasing, and increasingly important, screen connection times. It proposes solutions to the educational challenges of constructing identity in a hyperconnected society. The book focuses especially on the process of identity formation in this instance, where both adolescents and the adults who teach them have forgotten the vital need to incorporate educational theories and principles, novel, experimental and basic, kn any discussion of adolescent identity work.
Blended Learning: Convergence between Technology and Pedagogy
This book focuses on essential aspects of the theoretical foundations that support blended learning (BL) as a teaching training modality in tertiary education. Analyzing the changes in the world of education that lead to new ways of thinking and learning, it redefines the concept of blended learning at a time of constant growth in many universities around the world. This involves a shared reflection on the role of technology in the current university teacher education programs, as well as on the role that pedagogy plays in increasingly technology-driven contexts. Furthermore, the book presents pedagogical approaches to guide university professors in the design and implementation of blended learning courses. To this end, it describes some of the major models and approaches to BL instructional design, and examines issues related to the quality of BL training and the indicators to measure it, in order to identify those models that contribute to a better understanding of the dimensions that increase its effectiveness.
Las posibilidades del blog como elemento de apoyo y refuerzo en el aprendizaje
La dependencia es un eslabón más de la cadena que comienza con los grandes síndromes geriátricos (inmovilidad, inestabilidad, incontinencia y deterioro cognitivo) que, de no ser diagnosticados y atajados a tiempo, evolucionan inevitablemente hacia la fragilidad, dependencia y muerte. El síndrome de dependencia ha de ser abordado por equipos multidisciplinares, que en el caso de los mayores deben ser geriátricos. Las disciplinas implicadas deben ser: medicina, enfermería, terapia ocupacional, fisioterapia, trabajo social, psicología, así como otros profesionales familiarizados con el manejo del paciente geriátrico. El objetivo de este volumen sobre Dependencia en Geriatría es desenmarañar la confusión existente en las personas no familiarizadas con la geriatría, acerca de la dependencia, orientada en su vertiente social (prevención, la dependencia en el medio comunitario, atención en el domicilio del anciano dependiente, Ley de dependencia, etc.).
Interculturalidad, inclusión y equidad en educación
Los trabajos presentados en el congreso «INCLUYE», organizado por el Grupo de Investigación Reconocido (GIR) en Multiculturalidad, Innovación y Tecnologías Aplicadas (MITA) de la Universidad de Salamanca, reúne a la comunidad investigadores para discutir y reflexionar sobre tres ejes temáticos relevantes y urgentes para nuestra educación actual, en las diversas latitudes del mundo: equidad e igualdad en educación escolar y superior; educación intercultural; métodos, metodologías y evaluación inclusivas. En el primero se presentan reflexiones y praxis educativas, que intentan alcanzar la equidad e igualdad, dejando atrás las etiquetas que lejos de unir, marcan las diferencias en...
