Abstract:

The objective of the research project developed by Paidópolis Group of the Industrial University of Santander, Colombia, is to determine how the use of ICT in the classroom transforms the educational practice of primary school teachers of the fifth grade from research action. It is therefore intended to contribute to the ongoing training of teachers, who face learning challenges for which they were not trained during their undergraduate studies, from the promotion of real learning communities, based on the theoretical foundation in disciplinary, didactic and pedagogical knowledge.

Abstract:

Abstract Educators can use community engaged learning (CEL), also known as service learning, to empower all ages, bridging both college students and older adults needs. With the wrong approach, service just attached to a course may reinforce negative stereotypes. To assure best practice, educators benefit from CEL competencies to promote positive learning and avoid reinforcing ageism. Competencies, based on a community-engaged taxonomy, include: Reciprocal partnerships, Diversity of interactions and dialogue, Community activities, Civic competencies, Critical reflection, and Assessment (Rathl

Abstract:

Teachers are professionals in charge of planning and implementing the learning process, assessing the results of learning, coaching and training, and conduct research and community services.

Abstract:

While online course delivery in higher education has been increasing for several decades, students can face unique challenges in the digital environment. At a small university in Western Canada, online and blended learning have been a major focus for course delivery since 1995. Considering the risk that students could experience a lack of meaningful connection with their fellow students, the university launched a not-for-credit online learning module in 2006 that was designed to provide new-to-program students with resources and activities to encourage learning community development.

The construct is then described in terms of three broad dimensions: cognitive, affective, and ideological. A summary with suggestions for future research is provided.

The purpose of the study is to understand the social knowledge construction process from the learning communities experience of postgraduate students participating in the BK21 project. There are two research problems: one is to explore how postgraduate students' learning communities experience contributes to the construction of knowledge from the perspective of Social Constructivist Learning Theory, and the other is to understand the changed perceptions after postgraduate students’ learning communities experience. The research method used was interviews, among qualitative research methods. The

Abstract: Background: Characterizing principles of co-learning and stakeholder engagement for community-engaged research is becoming increasingly important. As low-income communities, Indigenous communities, and communities of color all over the world disproportionately feel the social, health, and economic impacts of environmental hazards, especially climate change, it is imperative to co-learn with these communities, so their lived experience and knowledge guide the building and sharing of a knowledge base and the development of equitable solutions. Objectives: This paper presents recent the

Abstract:

An abundance of literature on transformational learning and teacher professional learning communities (PLCs) exists; yet, few, in any, have linked the presence of one within the other. We believe Mezirow’s Transformational Learning Theory should be acknowledged as a viable theoretical framework for better understanding the power of how teachers work together. Evidence of its presence can be identified within the current school practices of PLCs and other collaborative activities. In this paper, we will first overview Mezirow’s theories of transformational learning and then attempt to show how

This paper provides information on the policy strand of an investigation into the Australian Research Council Linkage research project into 'interactive distance elearning‘ [IDeL] following the introduction in New South Wales and in the Northern Territory of Australia of satellite-supported two-way broad-band internet services for school-age and adult distance education. The 'policy strand‘ context is the expansion and reform of educational services to these communities. One key conceptual development, explored on the basis of early data collection, is that of the shared nature of the IDL proj

Abstract:

Abstract Age-Friendly Community Initiatives (AFCIs) are expanding throughout the United States to make social and built environments within local communities more responsive to population aging. With over 450 initiatives affiliated with the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, Cities, and States (125 of which began in 2019-early 2020), rapid growth on the ground necessitates that theory and research develop alongside practice innovations. This symposium showcases the intersection of cutting-edge scholarship with community-based efforts to generate knowledge of community change processes t

Abstract:

This Symposium arises from the work of a Special Interest Group in the EU funded project “EQUEL” – equality in e-learning. The SIG worked together over one year on a variety of research issues concerned with “Theory led Designs for E-Learning Communities and Collaborative Learning”. The Symposium focuses on research into the design, implementation and sustainability of networked e[1]learning groups and communities. We draw on our experiences as practitioner researchers – people who are actively involved in the design and practice of networked e-learning and who carry out critical research into

Abstract:

Teaching and learning in networked setting has attained a significant amount of attention recently. The central topic of networked learning research is human-human and human-information interactions that occur within a networked learning environment. The nature of these interactions is highly complex and usually requires a multi-dimensional approach in analyzing their effects. Therefore, the main goal of this research is the development of a theoretical model that allows for a comprehensive and scalable analysis of how and why learners engage into collaboration in networked communities.

Abstract:

Psychology is a science–based discipline in which research is inextricablyembedded in teaching and learning activities. Educators use different methodsto help students in their learning of the nature of research and the practical skills required to conduct research, with students playing either a passiveor more active role in the learning process. This paper details the steps taken at a post–1992 university in the UK to involve finalyear psychology undergraduate students as researchers in a staff–led neuropsychology project. The theoretical frameworks underpinning this study were the teaching–
