Abstract:

The emergence of digital technology has brought about children being exposed to digital text from a very young age. To explore how this potentially shapes reading development, there is the need to investigate whether it is necessary to identify digitally-relevant predictor skills of reading alongside other more traditional literacy precursor skills. While phonological decoding has repeatedly been shown as a strong predictor of reading success (Snowling, 2000; Vellutino et al., 1991), visual attention has only more recently been recognised as important moderator of reading performance (Francesc

Abstract:

Context. Digital games are an important application of software due to its growing popularity in society. As digital games are introduced in a growing number of homes we see a rapidly extending user base ranging from young to elderly. Since digital games now have reached beyond the early adopters and now engage a range of users that are more unfamiliar with the context of digital games and thus less trained and schooled in the clichés of digital games, the importance of previous knowledge in the digital games area are entering a sort of common knowledge to interpret and make meaning of society

Abstract:

The rapid expansion of computers and digital technology requires citizens to be digitally literate.

Each participant completed a survey and the General Decision Making Style Questionnaire prior to a series of interviews and classroom observations.

Abstract:

Digital literacy has been an increasingly-debated and discussed topic since the publication of Paul Gilster’s seminal Digital Literacy in 1997. It is, however, a complex term predicated on previous work in new literacies such as information literacy and computer literacy. To make sense of this complexity and uncertainty I come up with a ‘continuum of ambiguity’ and employ a Pragmatic methodology. This thesis makes three main contributions to the research area. First, I argue that considering a plurality of digital literacies helps avoid some of the problems of endlessly-redefining ‘digital lit

Abstract:

<p> Drawing on research in the fields of neuroscience, reading cognition, and the history of writing, the author explores the condition of reading today. Rather than accepting the apocalyptic pronouncements that the Internet is "dumbing down" current readers, the author argues for a more nuanced understanding of the effects of digital media. He argues that the literacies needed for the new digital realm are not new, but are literacies developed over thousands of years. The author argues for the need of more education and instruction in the use of digital media, and that the digital realm requi

The concept of literacy has expanded to include understanding and effective utilization of information, media, and technology. The Children's Internet Protection Act requires school districts to teach proper online use and behavior. The lack of a technology requirement in a rural, public school district in Northeastern Pennsylvania that meets the needs of 21st century learners and the conditions of the Children's Internet Protection Act was the rationale for the development of this project study.

Despite current emphasis in teacher preparation programs on developing pre-service teachers’ comfort and competence with digital learning technologies (DLT), research suggests that pre-service teachers struggle to transfer innovative applications of technology into their eventual teaching practice.

In this dissertation, I suggest that disrupting pre-conceived notions of teaching and learning is a requisite step to facilitating change in classroom practice.

The perceived importance of digital literacy has steadily risen in England in recent years.

With the introduction of the English National Curriculum in 1988 to its current incarnation in 2016, it is possible to track the achievements and targets that policy makers believe students should meet. During this time, a wave of scepticism surrounding the usefulness of technology-based learning can be found. In response

Many aspects of living and working now involve the use of technology and this trend will continue to grow. Over 93 per cent of jobs in the UK now require at least basic digital skills. Outside of work, many aspects of day to day life are also mediated by technology; from banking and shopping to socialising. In this increasingly digital society, an individual requires the knowledge and understanding to make use of technology to suit their own unique needs. One response to this was the inclusion of digital literacy as part of the National Curriculum, viewed as a key foundation skill equivalent t

Abstract:

This research synthesis investigates the effects that popular culture and new forms of mediation have had on the teaching and learning of English. Further, it examines some key aspects worth consideration when applying these types of texts in an educational context. The English syllabus for upper secondary school advises teachers to make use of the outside world for resources, and teach the students how to access, gather, analyze and use information found in different types of texts. After initial struggles, due to teachers’ reluctance, popular culture and modern media has found its way in to

Abstract:

Pedagogy has not addressed the literacy shift from reading, writing, and speaking to include cognitive digital literacy skills. Teachers lack the technological pedagogical content knowledge to integrate digital literacy skills into student learning. Using a digital literacy framework with 6 essentials skills, the purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate teachers' (a) current understanding, knowledge and skills; (b) current integration of digital literacy skills; (c) challenges they face in integration; and (d) supports needed in shifting pedagogical practices to address change

Abstract:

Digitala teknologier har ändrat förutsättningarna inom utbildningssektorn och bidragit till en dramatisk ökning av studenternas tillgång till och användning av digitala verktyg för sina studier. Begreppet digital kompetens har beskrivits som en av flera nyckelkompetenser som behövs för att kunna delta i samhället och ingår numera som mål i examensordningen på akademisk nivå i utbildningen för exempelvis förskollärare. Men vad vet vi om studenters digitala kompetens och tillämpning av digitala verktyg som stöd för sitt eget lärande under sina studier vid högre utbildning? Vilka erfarenheter har

Abstract:

I dagens samhälle ökar användningen av digitala verktyg och läsning på digital skärm blir en allt mer central del i våra liv. Kraven på elever har i och med att mediets införande bidragit till att informationen som eleverna möter i skolan blivit mer komplex. Istället för en bok ska läsaren hantera ett verktyg som inte existerat i mer än ett tiotal år. Vårt allt mer digitaliserade samhälle i kombination med att svenska elevers resultat i läsförståelsetestet i PISA-undersökningen sjunkit gör att nya utmaningar finns för den svenska skolan. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om elever på m
