The thematic concern, generating this research is centered on the challenges of pedagogical mediation of the Multidisciplinary Team at the Horticulture Technical Distance Course (ou apenas Horticulture Technical Course ), inserted into e-Tec Brasil system, at Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) Polytechnic School. We investigate didactic-methodological strategies that promote collaborative teaching and learning mediated by Moodle tools. To achieve the proposed objectives, we are guided by methodological concepts of action research, establishing cyclical stages, such as planning, implementation, evaluation and redesign activities that cover the construction of didactic-methodological strategies implemented at first module of the course. Action research was argued in three mediators matrixes propositions: the Dialogic-problem-Matrix (DPM), the Theme-Organizing Matrix (TOM) and the Theme-Analytic Matrix (TAM), which guided, respectively, the production of data organization and analysis. research instruments (participation observation diaries, interviews and survey type questionnaires) were guided in sixteen issues of MDP, becoming indicators to the bottom line. Therefore, this action research is grounded in public policy for Professional and Technological Education (PTE) and the e-Tec Brasil system. Also, in Freire's conceptions of Dialogic-Emancipatory Education (DEE), Pedagogical mediation education in Virtual Environments of Teaching and Learning (VETL) and Study Activity Theory. Thus, the elected analytical categories were collaborative teaching and learning and technological fluency. The results of the action research, supported in the triangulation of data, point out the challenge in the pedagogical mediation of distance technical courses, to promote collaborative teaching and learning is focused on development of technological and pedagogical fluency both components of the multidisciplinary team as the students of the course.
A preocupação temática, geradora dessa pesquisa, está centrada nos desafios da mediação pedagógica da Equipe Multidisciplinar no Curso Técnico em Fruticultura a distância, inserido no Sistema e-Tec Brasil, do Colégio Politécnico da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM). Investigamos estratégias didático-metodológicas que favorecem ensino-aprendizagem colaborativo mediado pelas ferramentas do Moodle. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, nos orientamos pelas concepções metodológicas da pesquisa-ação, estabelecendo etapas cíclicas de planejamento, implementação, avaliação e replanejamento das ações que permeiam a construção das estratégias didático-metodológicas implementadas no primeiro módulo do curso. A pesquisa-ação sustentou-se nas proposições de três matrizes mediadoras: a Matriz Dialógico-Problematizadora (MDP), a Matriz Temático-Organizadora (MTO) e a Matriz Temático-Analítica (MTA), as quais orientaram, respectivamente, a produção de dados, sua organização e análise. Os instrumentos de pesquisa (diário de observação participante, questionários tipo survey e entrevistas) estiveram norteados nas dezesseis questões da MDP, tornando-se indicadores aos resultados finais. Por conseguinte, esta pesquisa-ação está fundamentada nas políticas públicas para Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) e no Sistema e-Tec Brasil. Também, nas concepções freiriana de Educação Dialógico-Problematizadora (EDP), Mediação pedagógica na educação em Ambientes Virtuais de Ensino-Aprendizagem (AVEA) e na Teoria da Atividade de Estudo. Assim, as categorias analíticas eleitas foram ensino-aprendizagem colaborativo e fluência tecnológica. Os resultados da pesquisa-ação, sustentados na triangulação dos dados, apontam que o desafio na mediação pedagógica dos cursos técnicos a distância, para promover o ensino-aprendizagem colaborativo, está centrado no desenvolvimento da fluência tecnológico-pedagógica tanto dos componentes da equipe multidisciplinar quanto dos discentes do curso.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ed.D.)--Boston University
Building on Shulman's (1986) theory of pedagogical content knowledge that outlines distinct domains of teacher knowledge, technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) has emerged as a framework for examining educational technology training in teacher preparation (Koehler & Mishra, 2008; Neiss, 2008; Shin, Koehler, Mishra, Schmidt, Baran, & Thompson, 2009). The research presented here examines the theoretical basis of TPACK and describes the process of developing the Pre-service Teacher - Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Survey (PT-TPACK Survey). The PT-TPACK Survey is an instrument constructed to measure self-perceptions of TPACK in pre-service teachers completing a "Foundations of Educational Technology Course". The research focused on collecting evidence for the validity and reliability of the PT-TPACK survey. A pilot study, understandability study, and expert review were conducted in early stages of the research. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and reliability measures were analyzed after the survey was administered to 120 pre-service teachers. The factor structure suggests a superior model fit, as did the goodness-of-fit indices. The root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) was equal to .013, and both the comparative fit index (CFI) and non-normed fit index (NNFI) were .90 (CFI=1.0, NNFI=1.0). Internal consistency between the individual factors was also strong. The resulting coefficient alpha statistics suggest instrument reliability (TPACK, a=.903; TPK, a=.844; PK, a=.771; CK, a=.774; TK, a=.747; PCK, a=.653). Six of the seven widely accepted hypothesized TPACK dimensions emerged in the factor structure. Technological content knowledge (TCK) was the only hypothesized dimension that did not emerge. Finally, this study recommends several reasons for the lack of the TCK dimension, some of which could have an impact on how teachers are trained to use technology.

Abstract:

Since its emergence in the educational context, the blended learning insurgentas a modality with its own identity. According to its evolution, runs through presentiality configured contexts and virtuality. In a first stage, stood as a mixed or combined mode, and then advanced to integration, which resulted in the dilutionof its components. The progressive social changes, technological and cultural towards convergence, today brings a new north-mode, given the confluence of pedagogical and technological mediations in the training process. This position places him in a new trend that more than a possibility, actually represents a more explicable on the future of Blended Learning.
Desde su emergencia en el contexto educativo, el blended learning surge como una modalidad con identidad propia. Conforme a su evolución, discurre por contextos configurados por la presencialidad y virtualidad. En un primer estadio, se situó como una modalidad mixta o de combinación; posteriormente avanzó a una integración que supuso la dilución de sus componentes. La progresiva evolución social, tecnológica y cultural hacia la convergencia aporta, en la actualidad, un nuevo norte a la modalidad dada la confluencia de las mediaciones pedagógicas y tecnológicas en el proceso formativo. Este posicionamiento lo ubica dentro de una nueva tendencia, que más que una posibilidad, representa una realidad más explicable sobre el devenir del blended learning.

Abstract:

Weaknesses in extant modes of teacher professional development relating to the use of technology to support teaching and learning are identified and recommendations sought regarding more effective modes of delivery. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is postulated as a theoretical lens through which to foster reflection and dialogue regarding teaching practice and a number of tools are developed to support a structured approach to professional development. These include a TPACK assessment tool to evaluate performance in each of TPACK's constituent subdomains and a new form of technology content representation, dubbed a 'T-CoRe', through which to scaffold thinking and practice relating to technology integration. Through iterative refinement, the assessment tool was able to indicate and afford visualisation of aspects of practice. T-CoRes and associated discussion were able to evidence stimulation of high-quality reflection and foster application of higher-order thinking, here termed 'TPACK thinking'. Impact was demonstrable both in terms of teacher practice and pupil outcomes. Teachers demonstrated a commitment to collegiality and reflected on their capacity to champion technology integration within their departments and schools. This study therefore demonstrates the potential to operationalise TPACK within a UK setting and offers a toolkit of resources to support consideration of the pedagogical affordance of technology by teachers for wider scrutiny, use and development.

Abstract:

What might count as the technological knowledge bases (or underpinning) of design practice (and more particularly, Industrial Design, and Design and Technology in general education) has always been an unresolved matter. This series of papers, developed through an action research approach over a number of years, sought to develop understanding of the technological knowledge base of design, (taking account, also, of the apparent needs of Industrial Design practitioners and of those engaged in Design and Technology in schools). Hence, a theoretical position and research agenda developed concerning the nature of technology for (the purposes of those engaged in) designing. Three areas have been explored through a case study format: designing and materials and processes at advanced (A) and advanced supplementary (AS) level in UK Design and Technology syllabuses; the teaching and learning of mechanics and materials technology by Industrial Design and Technology undergraduates; the use of flexible learning and information technology (IT) to support the analysis of structures by Industrial Design and Technology undergraduates.

Abstract:

Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is the knowledge required for effective technology integration in teaching. In this study, New Zealand high school science teachers’ TPACK was assessed through an online survey. The data and its analysis revealed that New Zealand’s high school science teachers in general had a high perception of their understanding of TPACK and its related constructs. Science teachers had high mean scores on all the constructs on a five- point Likert scale except technological knowledge. There is thus an indication that science teachers in New Zealand perceived themselves as being able to teach with technology effectively. Correlation analysis revealed that all six constructs correlated significantly with TPACK (also referred to as TPCK). Multiple and stepwise regression analyses revealed that Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) and Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) made statistically significant unique contributions to Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK). Pre-registered teachers indicated that their levels of TCK and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) were lower than more experienced teachers. This implied that recently graduated teachers found it difficult to appropriate the affordances of technology to affect the content they taught. Also, these recently graduated teachers lacked the experience to represent content in a format that made it comprehensible to their learners. The contextual factors that influenced teachers’ use of technology as well as teachers’ TPACK levels were investigated through multiple embedded case studies of six teachers who were regular users of technology in their teaching. The case studies revealed that science teachers used technology to support inquiry learning in a wide range of ways in lower levels of high school but mostly to clarify concepts and theories when it came to the senior level of high school. Teachers demonstrated different levels of expertise and engagement in the use of technology for transferring different types of knowledge from one teaching and learning context to another and for addressing differences amongst learners. This signalled that science teachers’ TPACK apparent developmental levels shifted depending on the context of the assessment requirements of the students. This is a major finding in this study because although previous researchers have assumed that context influences teachers’ TPACK characteristics and development, this study provides evidence of how specific aspects of context influences teachers’ TPACK. This evidence shows examples of how the development of an individual’s TPACK can be considered as dynamic where the interacting constructs and characteristics shift and change based on the context. The recommendations from this study propose that teacher education programmes should ensure that there is a focus on teaching preservice teachers how to appropriate the affordances of technology to teach specific content instead of teaching one technology skills based course. The evidence from this study indicates that teachers in New Zealand schools use collegial approaches in the use of technology. Therefore professional learning programmes should target groups of teachers in the same school or cluster of schools rather than targeting individual teachers. This will enable teachers to share ideas and provide leadership for their colleagues in terms of how to use technology. Again, technology related professional development programmes should move away from enriching teachers’ technological skills to emphasising how teachers can appropriate the affordances of technology in their classroom practices to meet their instructional goals as well as students’ learning outcomes. There is a consequent obligation for teacher educators, educationists and stakeholders to enable teachers to understand how best to harness the increased knowledge retrieval capacity that Information and Communication Technology affords, its information sharing abilities as well as the capacity to engage young people to act as experimenters, designers and creators of knowledge.

Abstract:

The focus of this research study was on the experiences and perceptions of Mandarin Chinese teachers who used technologies and innovative instructional methods to teach second language skills to young learners. The conceptual framework drew on 3 theories: (a) Vygotsky’s sociocultural learning theory, (b) Schӧn’s action theory, and (c) Mishra and Koehler’s technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The research questions focused on the experiences of early childhood teachers integrating TPACK to teach Mandarin Chinese and how do early childhood teachers perceive the use of instructional methods to teach Mandarin Chinese. Purposeful sampling was used to identify 8 Mandarin Chinese language teachers who taught Mandarin Chinese to students in preschool through 3rd grade. Data were collected through semistructured interviews, a questionnaire centered on TPACK, and a reflective journal entry. The data were analyzed through thematic inductive analysis using cross-case analysis to identify codes, patterns, and emerging themes that explored the teacher’s experiences. The overall findings in this study indicated that teachers experienced positive outcomes integrating technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge in the early childhood language learning classroom. The finding has the potential for social change by increasing technological and instructional resources and materials in early childhood language learning classrooms and providing on-going professional development for Mandarin Chinese language teachers in American schools.

Abstract:

Thesis (DEd (Education))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015.
The past decade has witnessed the proliferation and use of computer technologies or ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) in varying levels in the traditional classroom within the South African context. The policy on e-Education (DoE, 2004) refers to the significance of e-Education and expects schools to be developed into e-Schools, consisting of a community of both teachers and learners. This policy also foregrounds how new models of learning are radically changing and challenging current conceptions of learning. As schools acquire technological infrastructure, teachers are expected to become technically skilled in order to deliver the curriculum utilising technology as a tool. Practising primary school teachers are generalists who subscribe to a more holistic approach of teaching. Specialised knowledge influences the in-service primary teacher's perceptions with regard to technology in the classroom. Technology integration,therefore, represents particular challenges for teachers as they search to construct a coherent, technological content base to inform their teaching. Learners with diverse ranges of learning abilities and needs are also present in classrooms, which may further compound the challenges teachers face within the confines of a rigid curriculum and emergent technologies. This study follows and documents the trajectory of a purposive sample of ten practising primary school teachers who had no specialised training in technology. A qualitative ethnographic research design, underpinned by an interpretive paradigm is employed. This research is premised on the argument that teachers can acquire the technical skill, underscored with the relevant pedagogical aims, needed for the seamless integration of emerging technologies required to enhance teaching and learning. "Without skilled pedagogical application of educational technology, technology in and of itself cannot provide innovative school practice and educational change" (Levin & Wadmany, 2006:158).

Abstract:

Earlier studies concluded that technology’s strength is in supporting student learning rather than as an instrument for content delivery (Angeli & Valanides, 2014). Current research espouses the merits of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework as a guide for educators’ reflections about technology integration within the context of content and instructional practice. Grounded by two theoretical frameworks, TPACK (Mishra & Koehler, 2006; 2008) and Rogers’ (1983, 1995) theory of diffusion of innovation, the purpose of this mixed-methods research was two-fold: to explore the perceived competencies of tertiary science faculty at higher education institutions with respect to their integration of technology within the constructs of pedagogical practice and content learning and to analyze whether these perceived competencies may serve as predictive factors for technology adoption level. The literature review included past research that served as models for the Sci-TPACK instrument. Twenty-nine professors of tertiary science courses participated in an online Likert survey, and four professors provided in-depth interviews on their TPACK practices. Quantitative analysis of data consisted of descriptive and reliability statistics, calculations of means for each of the seven scales or domains of TPACK, and regression analysis. Open-ended questions on the Likert survey and individual interviews provided recurrent themes of the qualitative data. Final results revealed that the participants integrate technology into pedagogy and content through a myriad of TPACK practices. Regression analysis supported perceived TPACK competencies as predictive factors for technology adoption level.

In an era of increasing demand for a limited budget, more universities are turning to adjunct faculty to fill the need and to address the student load. Adjunct faculty members are hired for their content knowledge and close association to the business world and industry. This study was conducted to investigate whether a relationship exists between (a) technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK); (b) pedagogical training; and (c) personal technology; and to determine which variables have the greatest influence in the willingness of adjunct faculty at a Midwestern higher education institution to choose and integrate digital technology into curriculum and expand to the discussion of TPACK into graduate level education. TPACK is both a framework and an instrument to measure the level of integration of the primary components of the TPACK framework. TPACK is a term that describes what a teacher must know to integrate technology effectively into curriculum or teacher practices and represents the combination of teacher content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and technology knowledge as interrelated. TPACK allows educators to consider what knowledge is required to integrate technology into teaching and how they might develop that knowledge within themselves. The study was conducted with a sample (n=30) of adjunct faculty members from two extension campuses from a Midwestern, Tier 1 university. The data revealed significant relationships between pedagogical training and selection of appropriate technology, and between personal technology use and selection of appropriate technology. The data also revealed that TPACK was a significant predictor; however, the subdomains of TPACK masked the true impact because of the high presence of covariance.

Abstract:

School districts are increasingly adopting 1-to-1 technology initiatives to support 21st century teaching and learning; yet, there are still many challenges with the effective integration of technology into teacher instructional practices. Teacher's technological, pedagogical, content knowledge (TPACK) is an integral part in planning the instructional process for effective integration. In this quantitative study, teachers' knowledge of technology, content, and pedagogy was examined through the lens of TPACK and its relationship to their lesson design practices. Two validated TPACK instruments were used to collect data on 117 in-service teachers in a large, urban school district with a 1-to-1 technology initiative. A MANOVA and correlational analysis were performed, and results of this study indicated there were no statistically significant differences between teachers' constructs of TPACK and their years of experience in a 1-to-1 technology initiative. However, statistical significance was found between teachers' constructs of TPACK and their content area. Additionally, a correlation was found between teachers' TPACK, their lesson design practices, and design disposition. The results of this study may positively impact social change by informing school administrators and other educational change leaders in the planning of teacher instructional support to further develop teachers in the implementation of technology integration to support the 21st century learning needs of today's students.

The aim of this study is to investigate perceptions of preservice mathematics teachers&rsquo
technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) regarding geometry. In addition, the purpose is to examine the relationships among the components of TPACK. Moreover, possible gender and year of enrollment differences related to preservice mathematics teachers&rsquo
technological pedagogical content knowledge dimensions are examined. This research study has been conducted with 780 preservice mathematics teachers who are enrolled in elementary mathematics education department of Education Faculties of seven public universities located in Central Anatolia. Perceived TPACK regarding geometry instrument has been developed to collect data. In order to determine the levels of preservice mathematics teachers&rsquo
perceptions related to TPACK in geometry, descriptive information have been used. The results indicate that preservice mathematics teachers&rsquo
perceptions of TPACK related to geometry is higher than moderate. Furthermore, correlational analysis was conducted to identify the relationship among dimensions of TPACK. Positive significant correlations among the components of the TPACK framework were found in correlational analysis. Besides, two-way MANOVA has been conducted to investigate a possible relationship between demographic information of preservice elementary mathematics teachers and their perceptions of TPACK. According to the MANOVA results, there are statistically significant differences between male and female preservice mathematics teachers in favor of male participants in three components of TPACK, namely technological knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge and technological pedagogical content knowledge in favour of males.

Abstract:

Den digitala utvecklingen både i samhället i stort och inom utbildning accelererar som aldrig förr. Många ungdomar idag har tillgång till digitala verktyg så som dator, mobiltelefon, surfplatta mm. Detta ställer nya krav på utbildning och därmed också nya krav på lärarna. Ett urval av matematiklärare på gymnasienivå fick i en webb-survey rangordna vilken kunskapsnivå de anser sig ha med avseende tre huvudområdena som beskrivs av ramverket Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK): teknik, pedagogik, ämnesinnehåll och kombinationer av dessa. Resultaten visar att lärarna anser sig ha en hög kunskapsnivå med avseende på pedagogik och ämnesinnehåll samt kombinationen av dessa men att kunskapsnivån ligger lägre när det gäller teknik och då framförallt den rent tekniska biten (t.ex. installation av programvara eller felsökning av datorer). Studien visar också att det är små skillnader i kunskapsnivå inom de olika områdena mellan könen och även mellan olika grupperingar av undervisningserfarenhet (0-10 år, 10-20 år och mer än 20 år). Studien indikerar att för att integrera digitala verktyg effektivt krävs utbildning både i det pedagogiska användandet och i det faktiska handhavandet av verktygen. Abstract The digital revolution both in society and in education is accelerating like never before. Many young people today have access to digital tools, such as computer, cell phone, Tablet etc. This places new demands on education and therefore new demands on teachers. In a Web-survey a sample of mathematics teachers at secondary level rated their knowledge with respect to three key domains described by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework: technology, pedagogy, content, and the combination of these areas. The results show that teachers feel that they have a high level of knowledge in terms of pedagogy and content and the combination of these, but the knowledge level is lower in terms of technology (such as software installation or troubleshooting of computers). The study also shows that there are small differences in the level of knowledge in the various areas of the sexes and between different groupings of teaching experience (0-10 years, 10-20 years and more than 20 years). The study indicates that for the integration of digital tools in an effective way requires training both in the educational use and the actual operation of the tools.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine how government teachers make decisions regarding the type of technological tools they incorporate in their instruction. As a case study of two teachers, this work was oriented by the question: How are U.S. Government teachers' beliefs and perspectives about learning and teaching reflected in their pedagogical practice and use of technological tools. There is little work about how teachers prepare students for the 21st century. Teaching U.S. Government or about the U.S. government has been ignored in much of the research of social studies classes. Additionally, most studies that examine the use of technological tools in the social studies classroom have either investigated the use of non-digital tools specifically or the use of digital tools specifically. Few studies combine how social studies teachers use both non-digital and digital tools in their instruction. My goal was to shift the gaze and include the swirl of influences shaping U.S. Government teachers' decision-making process as when both types of technological tools are used with their classes. This study has its antecedents in my desire to examine Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, TPCK. TPCK is a theoretical framework that posits that technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge are the key elements to understand teachersâ instructional choices. The findings in this study indicate that while TPCK can offer teachers a framework to help begin to understand knowledge bases one could consider when planning class instruction, it falls short of providing the complete picture necessary to describe teacher decisions.

Abstract:

The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework is a relatively new construct that offers a useful perspective from which to understand the development of pre-service teachers' abilities in teaching with technology. It is grounded in the understanding that if teachers are to effectively integrate technology into their instruction, they need to integrate their knowledge of content, pedagogy and technology, instead of viewing these components as separate entities. Current efforts to develop TPACK in pre-service teachers have tended to focus on experiences in either a methods course or an educational technology course. It is admittedly difficult to adequately address technology, pedagogy and content in a single college course. Therefore, this study proposes using three courses that are offered in collaboration, a mathematics teaching methods course, a technology-intensive content-rich mathematical modeling course, and a practicum course, to study the development of connections between technology, content and pedagogy. For this multiple case study, TPACK changes in five pre-service teachers were tracked during a period of about 15 weeks. Data were collected using a TPACK survey, teaching philosophy statements, lesson plans, student teaching episodes, and weekly instructor meeting notes. A detailed analysis of the results demonstrates that the development of pre-service teachers' mathematics TPACK is complex, and there are a number of factors that are at play, such as the pre-service teachers' prior experiences with technology, their mathematical backgrounds and their beliefs about the use of technology in mathematics instruction. Assessing the development of TPACK in pre-service teachers is complicated by the fact that the available model for mathematics teachers' TPACK was developed using observations of in-service mathematics teachers.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine what relationships exist between the age, rank, and gender of university faculty in teacher education and their technological pedagogical content knowledge. The survey instrument used was the Survey of Teacher Educators’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) which is an adaptation of the Survey of Preservice Teachers’ Knowledge of Teaching and Technology developed by Schmidt. A total of 347 public Texas university teacher education faculty members participated in the study. Multiple regressions were utilized and the effect size was considered to determine the strength of the relationship between the variables. A statistical significance was found relating to the age, rank, and gender of the university teacher educator faculty member and their technological knowledge (TK). Based on the information provided for the b weights, age was found to be the best predictor of their technological knowledge (TK). The discriminant analysis identified what relationship exists between the ages of university teacher education faculty technology knowledge. The results of the discriminant analysis indicate the range 20-30 and 60+ contribute equally to teacher educators’ technological knowledge. Although no statistically significant results were determined with respect to the correlations between gender, age, and rank and technological content knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge, and technological pedagogical content knowledge, the descriptive data does suggest that some insight maybe gained from further analysis.

Abstract:

Information and communication technology (ICT) has infiltrated society to the point of becoming essential to much of its everyday functioning. People rely on ICT to communicate, access information, and stay connected in an increasing globalised community. In many developed countries, ICT is now strongly featured in education for teaching and learning. In South Africa, as in other developing or partly developed countries, ICT use in education remains limited. This research was conducted to explore and understand how those South African science teachers who have access to ICT use it when they teach science. It was done to explain some of the reasons those teachers use ICT in the ways that they do, and to gain a better insight into the value that using ICT adds to both teaching and learning science. The research was designed as a mixed methods study, using both quantitative data collected from 267 Grade 8 science teachers in South Africa through the SITES 2006 teacher questionnaire, and qualitative data collected from three science teachers, all of whom taught science in a context of limited resources typical of a developing country. The data collected and analysed in this study showed that when science teachers have access to ICT for teaching and learning in classrooms typical of developing country contexts, they are able to use that ICT effectively to add value to teaching and learning. The greatest value is added when the teacher has a high technological pedagogical content knowledge. Secondly, at the level of the teacher, personal entrepreneurship is a key factor in a teacher’s ability to use ICT to add value to teaching and learning and to support the educational objectives based on 21st century learning objectives. Thirdly, teachers use the available ICT resources in a variety of ways but it seems that access to a personal computer, either laptop or desktop, in the classroom is a minimum requirement for ICT use in subject teaching. And lastly, the gap between ICT policy intentions as outlined in the South African e-Education White Paper (DoE, 2004b) and ICT practice remains large. There was no evidence from this study to suggest that the ICT policy intentions influenced practice at classroom level.

Abstract:

This research explores narratives and artefacts that reflect personal conceptions and interpretations about Teacher knowledge and the integration of Constructivism, specifically in the teaching and learning of Educational Technology, in teacher education programmes in Malaysian universities. Two key theories, Mishra & Koehler's TPCK model, and Argyris & Schon's Reflective Learning theory, were utilised as research tools to provide a protocol to acquire, analyse and discuss beliefs and actions about technology in education. Guided by gaps and inconsistencies revealed in reviewed current literature, this thesis produced an adapted version of the TPCK framework and developed a methodological approach to map espoused theories and theories-in-action of reflective narratives and classroom artefacts. New types of teacher knowledge were subsequently introduced with the inclusion of Constructivism into the original framework, allowing closer contextual analysis of how the learning theory was perceived and used when teaching and learning about technology integration. A pilot study explored the feasibility of using the proposed methodological design, subsequently proving its usefulness to capture categories and map findings from the research. A second study was undertaken to capture a larger variety of data at one university. Comparable analyses were produced from both studies, revealing complex relationships between espoused theories and theories-inaction held by teacher educators and their student teachers. Conclusively, the research has illuminated that Technology Knowledge was consistently over-emphasised in the teaching and learning of the observed Educational Technology courses, neglecting crucial exposure to and training of other knowledge types advocated in the TPCK framework. Though deemed highly relevant by participants, the research has also revealed that Constructivism was conceptualised at a cursory level and it was not applied in practice in any of the observed Educational Technology courses.

Abstract:

Students at an inner city school have low test results despite making progress. The study examines the problem that technology plans implemented by the Board of Education could not improve student achievement. Educational policy recommends to increasingly sustain teaching by educational technology. Therefore, this research examines the teacher knowledge necessary for technology integration in classes, and the ways this knowledge can be fostered. The theoretical framework of this study integrates 2 prominent theories of instructional science: learning by design (LBD) and technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK). The relationship between LBD, TPACK, and technology integration in the classroom was examined. The assumption was made that LBD and TPACK predict technology integration, and that TPACK mediates the relationship between LBD and technology integration. A correlational study was carried out with a sample of N = 109 in-service, secondary, mathematics teachers from an inner city school. The data were collected using a previously validated questionnaire survey and initially analyzed by multiple regression analysis. However, the measured variables displayed nonlinear relationships, suggesting that, while TPACK partially mediates the LBD-TI relationship as hypothesized, technological knowledge had a saturation effect on TI, and thus high scores of both LBD and TPACK decreased TI. The study shows at a theoretical level how teachers can benefit from LBD experiences resulting in TPACK and how likely they combine technology with teaching. For the practice of teacher leadership, this study will suggest effective forms of professional development, thus improving teaching quality and enabling positive social change.

Abstract:

Using a sequential mixed-method methodology, this dissertation study set out to understand the emic and etic perspectives of the knowledge encompassed in the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework and to develop fixed answer questions based on that knowledge. While there have been many studies examining ways to measure TPACK in in-service and pre-service teachers, very few have addressed measuring TPACK using fixed-answer questions. Through the use of the mixed-methods, a snapshot of the emic (inside) and etic (outside) perspectives on the TPACK framework was obtained. This study used a focus group with in-service teachers (emic perspective) and interviews with teacher educators (etic perspective) to understand the kind of knowledge attributed to the TPACK framework. Six themes were derived from the focus group and interviews, from which fixed-answer questions were developed. Those six themes included such issues as access to technology, the use of technology for solid teaching and learning purposes, and passive versus active learning when using technology. Following best practices, the eleven questions included a scenario that gave context to the questions asked and the answers provided. In-service teachers reviewed the items to assure that the language and context were appropriate to classroom practice. Four experts on the TPACK framework reviewed the items for face validity. Across the experts six of the eleven items were rated as valid. Although only the experts saw a small number of items as valid, this study indicates that this kind of measurement for the TPACK framework may be possible.

Abstract:

Thesis (DTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017.
Educational technology can improve teaching and learning in universities of technology in developing countries. Due to various factors, there is no readymade “one-size-fits-all” solution for facilitating the successful implementation of educational technology. Tedre, Apiola and Cronjé (2011) identified 100 educational, socioeconomic and technical attributes that can influence the successful integration of educational technology in developing regions. While exploring the issues arising from technology integration at two universities of technology, the aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of Tedre, Apiola and Cronjé’s framework in order to contribute to its refinement. The central research question concerned the extent to which Tedre, Apiola and Cronjé’s framework was useful for a situational analysis at two South African universities of technology. The sub-questions concerned the framework’s ability to distinguish between the two universities on the one hand and on the other hand, the overlaps or shortcomings of the model as it assisted in describing those situations. The findings revealed that the two universities in this inquiry are not similar. Although the universities’ educational strategies and policies were very analogous, differences were found in the manner and approach to the implementation of educational technology. The pedagogical considerations for e-learning uptake in both universities corroborated with each other to a certain extent. The findings further showed that most of the educational factors that affect technology integration, and subsequent educational technology adoption, resonate with pedagogical issues found in other developing countries.

Abstract:

Syftet med avhandlingen är att bidra till den ämnesdidaktiska kunskapsbasen för undervisning och lärande om tekniska system i grundskolan. Dagens teknikkomplexa samhälle är uppbyggt av system som vi människor interagerar med. Informations-, energi- och kommunikationssystem är exempel på tekniska system som vi kommer i kontakt med dagligen. Tekniska system ingår som en del av kunskapsinnehållet i den svenska grundskolans teknikämne, men forskning som rör teknikämnet visar att undervisning av tekniska system är begränsad och det råder osäkerhet kring vad lärande av tekniska system innebär. De övergripande frågeställningarna är: Hur uppfattar unga tekniska system? Hur kan ungas uppfattningar av tekniska system användas för att utveckla undervisningen om tekniska system? Vilken potential, att bidra till en ökad förståelse av teknik i dagens samhälle, har tekniska system som kunskapsinnehåll i teknikämnet? Avhandlingen bygger på två studier som presenteras i fyra artiklar. I två av artiklarna fokuseras ungas uppfattningar av tekniska system och i två artiklar lyfts didaktiska dimensioner av tekniska system fram. En fenomenografisk ansats används för att kartlägga ungdomars olika sätt att erfara tekniska system genom empiriska undersökningar av kvalitativa skillnader i det kollektiva erfarandet av fenomenet. Resultatet av studierna indikerar att dimensioner av tekniska system och kritiska aspekter inom dessa dimensioner är avgörande för en utvecklad förståelse av tekniska system. Genom att lärare blir medvetna om ungas uppfattningar om tekniska system kan de med detta som utgångspunkt utveckla undervisningen. Inom den ämnesdidaktiska kunskapstraditionen ses den lärandes uppfattning av innehållet innan undervisningen startar som en betydelsefull aspekt av lärarens ämnesdidaktiska kompetens Det är därför viktigt att lärare är medvetna om dimensionerna och de kritiska aspekterna då de planerar och genomför undervisning för att kunna erbjuda kraftfulla sätt att lära om tekniska system. De didaktiska implikationerna, när det gäller tekniska system, lyfter fram aspekter av teknik som har betydelse för förståelsen av teknik även på ett mer generellt plan. Det handlar om kunskaper som aktiva medborgare i dagens teknikkomplexa samhälle behöver, så som insikter om krav på resurser, människans intentioner med och inblandning i tekniken samt hur teknikens struktur och organisation ser ut. Tekniska system som kunskapsinnehåll erbjuder en förståelse av teknik där viktiga medborgerliga aspekter som engagemang, konsekvensanalys och användaransvar kan synliggöras och problematiseras.
The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the field of technology education research, specifically that which concerns teaching and learning about technological systems. Today's technologically complex society is made up of a variety of systems that humans interact with. Information, energy and communication are examples of technological systems with which we are involved daily. Education in technology prepares young people for participating as active citizens in a technologyintensive society and therefore includes technological systems as part of the knowledge content in the Swedish compulsory school subject of technology. Research related to the technology subject shows that the teaching of technological systems is limited and there is uncertainty about what the learning entails. The overall questions which this thesis intends to investigate are: How do young people experience technological systems? How can young people’s experiences of technological systems be used to develop the teaching of technological systems? What potential does knowledge about technological systems have in contributing to a better understanding of technology in today’s society? The thesis is based on two studies presented in four articles. Two of the articles focus on young people’s experiences of technological systems and the other two highlight pedagogical dimensions of technological systems for teaching and learning. The studies take the perspective of the learners’, using a phenomenographic approach, and investigate young people’s ways of experiencing technological systems. To start from the learners’ experience is an important aspect of the tradition of pedagogical research that concerns content specific knowledge. The phenomenographic approach offers empirical ways of investigating qualitative differences in the collective experience of the phenomenon and an opportunity to highlight what teaching should focus on to create learning opportunities. The main result of the studies consists of knowledge about dimensions of technological systems and critical aspects within those dimensions. Together they offer a perspective for teaching, providing possible starting points for teachers when they plan instruction. If teachers address their own and young people’s awareness of dimensions of variation, it could enable more powerful ways of learning about technological systems. The pedagogical implications in terms of technological systems also point to aspects that are relevant for understanding technology on a more general level, namely skills which active citizens in today’s technologically complex society must possess. Technological systems knowledge offers an understanding of technology in which key aspects of civil commitment, impact and user responsibility can be made visible and thus problematized.

Abstract:

The STEM fields are in the process of expanding and requiring highly trained technicians to support this growth. Community colleges are places that offer technician training to students in preparation for high technology jobs. Unfortunately, community colleges are generally underfunded and poorly positioned to offer professional development for discipline-specific skills or pedagogy training. The National Science Foundation and Advanced Technological Education (ATE) have situated themselves to provide support for the STEM fields through their federally funded programs for technician teachers. A component of ATE grants is a focus on faculty development designed to help STEM teachers in community colleges. ATE helps community colleges fill in the gaps in professional development facing instructors in the STEM fields. The purpose of this study was to analyze the pedagogical characteristics of ATE-funded professional development for community college faculty and its intersections with campus-funded professional development. This study used a qualitative, multiple case-study design. Three interviews were conducted at three different ATE sites in California of the center leader, a professional development coordinator, and a participant. The major findings were 1. ATE provides educational and technical training to adults with common traits in backgrounds and goals. 2. The technical professional development at ATE centers is hands-on and interactive and has shown to provide positive learning outcomes to adult learners. 3. ATE centers address the needs of an evolving workforce by conducting research on new or current industry expectations. 4. Partnerships to industry are important to the curriculum and infrastructure of ATE professional development. 5. Evaluation is necessary for the growth of ATE professional development programs. 6. ATE helps build a collaborative community within a technical field by supporting relationships between professional development participants. 7. Each ATE center provides industry educators with resources they can access after a workshop. 8. One out of three ATE center professional development projects in this study intersects with campus-funded professional development. Understanding how these three ATE centers provide professional development can help inform the professional development practices at newly emerging or already established ATE centers across the nation. This study includes recommendations for future research and implications for practice.

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to gain an understanding of how practicing teachers believe they are prepared to meaningfully and critically integrate technology into their classroom practices; and to understand how practicing teachers recruited those beliefs into their teaching practices. This included gaining an understanding of what they believed led to their engagement in the critical dimensions of technology use in their teaching practices. This mixed-methods study contained two phases. In Phase 1, 58 graduate students in a College of Education completed a newly developed Critical Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (C-TPACK) survey containing likert-scale and open-ended questions. A subset of four graduate students, who were also practicing teachers, participated in Phase 2 of this study where lesson plans, observations, and interviews were analyzed. The findings indicated that limited training in and exposure to C-TPACK during teacher education coursework and professional development (PD), uncertainty about students’ critical digital literacies (CDL), the teachers’ varying understandings of CDL, resource limitations and restrictive school policies posed barriers for the teachers’ recruitment of CTPACK to their practices. These findings showed the importance of tying critical theory to technology in education coursework and PD programs. This study proposes the use of a theoretical framework that prioritizes critical theory, namely the C-TPACK framework, when analyzing teachers’ technology integration practices.

Abstract:

Information and communication technology (ICT) has become part of education as it has, in many cases, become the mode of choice of communication with people in all spheres of life. It provides teachers with the opportunity to access information from a vast array of resources that assists them in their teaching practices. Education in South Africa is constantly transforming to new requirements from the National Department of Education (NDoE). The fundamentals of Outcomes Based Education are lifelong learning and the development of 21st century skills that allow learners to use information for different contexts. ICT enables teachers and learners to access computer systems to develop skills, interact with their peers, colleagues, and the global society. Even though teachers know the value of ICT in teaching and learning, the pedagogical use of ICT in South African schools remains limited. In the SITES 2006, South African teachers acknowledged that they were enthusiastic to explore new ways to make teaching and learning more interesting, but that they encountered many barriers that hinder the pedagogical use of ICT for mathematics. This research has determined that the teachers’ ICT pedagogical knowledge contributed towards more effective teaching and learning practices of mathematics in South African schools. The study also describes how insufficient ICT pedagogical knowledge affected teachers’ confidence to explore ICT tools. This study followed a secondary data analysis (SDA) of the Second International Information Technology in Education Study of 2006 (SITES 2006) data from the 640 participating mathematics teachers in South Africa. The correlated data describes the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) of mathematics teachers while making use of ICT. Continuous professional teacher development is required to focus on the attainment of information technology pedagogical knowledge to further the use of ICT on the teaching of Mathematics. The study also indicates that South Africa lags far behind the other 22 countries that participated in SITES 2006.

The contemporary society, mediated by the information and communication technologies, requires schools to rethink their methodological proposals in the use of ICT in the teaching- learning process, so that these can promote new learning contexts. Information and communication technologies provide opportunities to develop new ways of interaction, teaching and learning, requiring a greater integration of instructional technological resources in educational practice of schools. This dissertation analyzes the reality of the Federal Institute of the North of Minas Gerais - Campus Montes Claros, in relation to the use of information and communication technologies in its teaching practice. The research was not the sole purpose of analyzing the use of ICTs in that Campus, but also provide reflections for future actions of its faculty, regarding the use of these technologies in teaching practice, as these technologies can promote the institutionalization an education that prepares students for the demands of the contemporary society. The methodology includes interviews, questionnaires and document analysis guided by four indicators: availability of ICT; school organization for the use of ICT; Training of teachers to use ICT and presence of ICT in teaching practice. The result shows that the IFNMG / Campus Montes Claros is located in a "between place", that is , it shows how an educational institution occupant of a 'between' the contemporary and the strength of tradition, that is, at a stage transition, which seeks the new, but still identifies the coexistence of traditional.

Abstract:

Flera lärosäten erbjuder distansutbildningar, det betyder att någon typ av webbaserat verktyg används. Verktyget, en så kallad lärplattform, fungerar som ett stöd för lärande, undervisning, administration samt kommunikation genom olika funktioner. En lärplattform är kopplingen mellan lärare och studenten i en distanskurs. Tidigare forskning visar på att det finns bristande kunskaper i att planera och genomföra en distanskurs med stöd av en lärplattform bland lärare. Forskning kring lärares teknikkunskaper, färdigheter samt användandet av en lärplattform bland högre utbildning är låg och behöver forskas vidare på. Studien undersöker vilka befintliga funktioner i en lärplattform lärarna väljer att använda för att planera och genomföra en distanskurs. Där syftet med studien är att få en förståelse för vilka strategier lärare använder för att planera och genomföra en distanskurs med stöd av en lärplattforms befintliga funktioner. Studien utgick från en kvalitativ interpretativ ansats där datainsamlingsmetoden semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Sju lärare på Högskolan i Halmstad intervjuades individuellt. För att analysera empirin skapades en kodbok med litteraturdrivna kodord ur ett teknopedagogiskt perspektiv. Svaret på studiens frågeställning är att lärare använder huvudsakligen tre olika strategier för att planera och genomföra en distanskurs med stöd av en lärplattform.
Several universities offer distance education, which means that they use some type of web-based tool. The tool, known as a Learning Management System (LMS), acts as a support for learning, teaching, administrating and communicating through different features. The LMS is the connection between teacher and student, a platform used to distribute course material and to communicate. Previous research shows that there is a lack of knowledge among teachers on how to plan and implement a distance education with the support of a LMS. The knowledge about LMS usage in practice at higher education are low and needs to be researched further. The study examines the existing features of a LMS that teachers choose to use, to plan and implement a distance education course. The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of which strategies teachers use when planning and implementing a distance learning course with the support of a LMS existing features. The study used a qualitative interpretive approach in which the data collection method, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Seven teachers at Halmstad interviewed individually. To analyze the empirical data a codebook was created with literature oriented code word from a technological pedagogical perspective. The answer to the study's question is that teachers mainly use three different strategies to plan and implement a distance learning course with the support of a LMS.

This master s thesis presents some reflections on the pedagogical modeling in online education. The study focused on trying to identify what is the influence of the pedagogical model in the sensation of proximity and distance between the subjects in virtual environments for teaching and learning. With this in mind, we sought in some authors the theoretical basis to address the issue, highlighting Behar (2009) and Coll and Monereo (2010) on pedagogical models; Peters (2001), Moore (2007) and Tori (2010) on proximity and distance; Silva (2010) and Mattar (2009) on interactivity; and Merleau-Ponty (1999) and Basbaum (2005) on sensation. In the virtual ethnographic research, based on the orientations from Godoi, Mello e Silva (2006), Hine (2004) and Meister (2011), we observed, in the period between June 2010 and December 2012, the reaction evaluation of six groups of students from an online course of university extension from the Municipal University of São Caetano do Sul (USCS), whose offer took place in two different virtual environments for teaching and learning: a commercial LMS for the first three groups and the Moodle environment for the others. The results revealed that, in the pedagogical architecture - the first of the elements of the pedagogical model, composed by organizational aspects, aspects related to content, technology and methodology there are several interdependent factors that exert an influence on the sensation of proximity and distance, and that in online education the mere availability of technological resources is not a guarantee that there will be proximity between students and teachers, as well as between students and students. We observe that the transactional distance may increase when the structure is maximized in a virtual environment for teaching and learning of a socio-constructivist and interactionist conception (in the case of this study, Moodle) if it offers "expectations" of dialogue between the participants. On the other hand, transactional distance may decrease when the dialogue is expanded in an environment of behaviorist conception (reflected in this study in a commercial virtual environment for teaching and learning) and when the teacher makes use of mechanisms to increase proximity, especially with students who are digital immigrants
Esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta algumas reflexões sobre a modelagem pedagógica na educação on-line. A pesquisa teve seu foco na tentativa de identificar qual é a influência do modelo pedagógico na sensação de proximidade e distância entre os sujeitos nos ambientes virtuais de ensino-aprendizagem. Para tanto, buscamos em alguns autores a base teórica para tratar do tema, destacando Behar (2009) e Coll e Monereo (2010) sobre modelos pedagógicos; Peters (2001), Moore (2007) e Tori (2010) sobre proximidade e distância; Silva (2010) e Mattar (2009) sobre interatividade; e Merleau-Ponty (1999) e Basbaum (2005) sobre sensação. Na pesquisa etnográfica virtual, com base nas orientações de Godoi, Mello e Silva (2006), Hine (2004) e Meister (2011), acompanhamos, no período de junho de 2010 a dezembro de 2012, a avaliação de reação de seis turmas de alunos de um curso on-line de extensão universitária da Universidade Municipal de São Caetano do Sul (USCS), cuja oferta ocorreu em dois ambientes virtuais de ensino-aprendizagem distintos: um LMS comercial nas três primeiras turmas e o ambiente Moodle nas três turmas posteriores. Os resultados revelaram que na arquitetura pedagógica o primeiro dos elementos do modelo pedagógico, composto pelos aspectos organizacionais, de conteúdo, tecnológicos e metodológicos residem diversos fatores interdependentes que influenciam a sensação de proximidade e distância, e que na educação on-line a simples disponibilidade de recursos tecnológicos não é sinônimo de que haverá proximidade entre aluno/professor e aluno/aluno. Notamos que a distância transacional pode aumentar quando a estrutura é maximizada em um ambiente virtual de ensinoaprendizagem de concepção socioconstrutivista-interacionista (no caso desta pesquisa, no Moodle), se este oferece expectativas de diálogo entre os participantes; por outro lado, a distância transacional pode diminuir quando o diálogo é ampliado em um ambiente de concepção behaviorista (refletido nesta pesquisa em um ambiente virtual de ensino-aprendizagem comercial), e quando o docente se utiliza de mecanismos para aumentar a proximidade, principalmente com alunos imigrantes digitais

Abstract:

A presente dissertação refere-se a um estudo de caso sobre as práticas de leitura e escrita das crianças de 6 anos da classe de alfabetização de uma escola pública de Porto Alegre, imersas em um cotidiano digital, viabilizado pelo projeto Um Computador por Aluno (UCA). Seu objetivo foi investigar as práticas realizadas pelos estudantes, bem como as possibilidades e condições necessárias para que o computador fosse instrumento para inscrevê-los no mundo letrado, superando a relação estritamente escolar com a escrita, além de analisar as implicações para o processo de conceituação. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que a saturação tecnológica em uma escola na modalidade em que foi implantado o projeto UCA (cada criança com o seu laptop) implicaria mudanças nas práticas de leitura e de escrita realizadas pelos estudantes. Portanto, essas práticas dos alunos foram examinadas segundo duas unidades de análise: propostas da professora e as realizadas espontaneamente. Para cada unidade, foram construídos três eixos de categorias, relacionadas a letramento, alfabetização e fluência digital. O estudo de caso também apresentou uma terceira unidade, com a análise de cinco casos emblemáticos de alunos representativos à investigação. Conforme característica de um estudo de caso, a pesquisa teve início com uma proposição teórica, sustentada pelas experiências anteriores da investigadora e pelo referencial teórico utilizado, que foi gradativamente comparada com os dados encontrados no campo. Ao final do estudo, considerou-se que a proposição teórica deveria ser ajustada enfatizando a proposta pedagógica para crianças em processo inicial de aprendizagem da língua escrita. Conclui-se que a utilização cotidiana do laptop em rede permitirá às crianças a exploração da língua em situações reais, construindo um ambiente simbólico propício para a compreensão da função e do sentido da língua escrita (letramento) e, portanto, criará a necessidade de compreensão da sua estrutura (alfabetização), favorecendo o processo de conceituação, desde que incorporada a propostas e intervenções pedagógicas adequadas às necessidades e possibilidades da criança. Na classe analisada, algumas condições foram necessárias para que isso acontecesse. Entre elas, destacam-se o trabalho por projetos, a relação de um laptop por aluno em sala de aula, a conexão à Internet e o uso de um ambiente virtual.
This thesis refers to a case study about the practices of reading and writing of six-year-old children of a literacy class in a public elementary school of Porto Alegre city (RS/Brazil), immersed in a digital quotidian, made viable by One Computer per Student (UCA) project. Its objective was to investigate the practices carried out by students, as well as the possibilities and necessary conditions for the computer to be a tool to make them able to enter the “literate world”, overcoming the strictly scholar relationship with the writing, besides analysing the implications for the conceptualization process. It was presupposed that the technological saturation in a school in the modality in which UCA project was implemented (each child with his own laptop) would change the practices of reading and writing carried out by students. Therefore, these practices of the students were examined according to two units of analysis: practices proposed by the teacher and proposals carried out spontaneously. For each unit, three categories were built, related to literacy, alphabetization and digital fluency. The case study has also presented a third unit, with the analysis of five emblematic cases of students which were representative to the investigation. As typical in a case study, the research has begun with a theoretical proposition, based on previous experiences of the researcher and on the theoretical framework used, which was gradually compared to the data found in the field. At the end of the study, it was considered that the proposition should be adjusted emphasizing the pedagogic proposals for children in initial process of written language learning. It is concluded that daily use of laptops in a network will allow children to use language in real situations, building a symbolic environment propitious to the comprehension of the function and meaning of written language (literacy) and, thus, will create the necessity of understanding of its structure (alphabetization), facilitating the conceptualization process, as long as it is incorporated to appropriate proposals and pedagogic interventions to the needs and possibilities of the child. In the class which was analysed, some conditions were necessary for that to happen. The work by projects, the relation of one laptop per student in the classroom, the connection to the Internet and the use of a virtual learning environment are among them.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the preservice science teachers&rsquo
perceived technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) on genetics. More specifically, the purpose was to examine the relationships among the components of TPACK and genetics knowledge of the preservice science teachers. Moreover, findings the effect of the demographic information on perceived TPACK was also aimed. This study was conducted with preservice science teachers who were enrolled in elementary science education department of Education Faculties of eight public universities located in Central Anatolia. 1530 preservice science teachers participated to the study. There were two instruments used in this research which were perceived TPACK questionnaire, which was later adopted by the researcher as perceived TPACK on genetics, and genetic concepts test. v Data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. In order to answer the first research question, descriptive information about the components of TPACK was given. Correlational analyses were used to identify the relationship between each component of the perceived TPACK on genetics and their genetic knowledge. Another correlational analysis was conducted for the third research question which seeks the relationships among the components of the TPACK. Moreover, MANOVA was conducted to investigate the impact of gender and year of enrollment on perceived TPACK on genetics of preservice science teachers. The results revealed that genetic knowledge was correlated with each component except the perceived project specific technology knowledge. Moreover, there were positive significant correlations among the components of the TPACK. According to the MANOVA results, the mean scores of male and female preservice science teachers differ in five components of TPACK, namely project specific technology knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, technological content knowledge and technological pedagogical content knowledge. The results of MANOVA for year of enrollment revealed that the mean ETK, GTK, PSTK, and CK scores of participants with different year of enrollment differ significantly.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa analisa situações de diálogo e interação pelo computador e web motivados por temas, autores e conceitos da disciplina Sociologia. Investiga as potencialidades dialógicas de construção do conhecimento em situações de diálogos virtuais entre alunos e o professor da disciplina - em uma modalidade de ensino apoiado por recursos da web que ocorrem fora do espaço-tempo da aula tradicional. Tem como hipóteses verificar se o compartilhamento de informações através da rede e a mediação tecnológica são demandas incorporadas pela escola e se a comunicação em ambientes virtuais amplia a perspectiva dialógica de construção do conhecimento escolar, na qual o professor enquanto provocador cognitivo (PICONEZ) possa (re)avaliar as relações ensino-aprendizagem na disciplina Sociologia. Sob a perspectiva da pesquisa-ação, foi estruturada na observação e participação direta e análise qualitativa de situações concretas de diálogos educacionais em ambiência virtual envolvendo as seguintes ferramentas tecnológicas: correio eletrônico (e-mail), pesquisa pela internet, análise a partir da exibição de filmes em DVD, interações através de um BLOG publicado pela professora e reuniões através do MSN. A proposta dos temas e a análise dos diálogos dão-se a partir da perspectiva de uma rede sinérgica, isto é, de que o conhecimento é resultado da articulação de reflexões individuais. Estas reflexões são orientadas e motivadas pelos objetivos da disciplina Sociologia, explicitados nas Orientações Curriculares Nacionais (OCN), documento oficial do governo, elaborado por especialistas das Ciências Humanas e complementar aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN). Tais objetivos estão representados no processo da disciplina Sociologia e sua abordagem requer a presença de um professor que oriente sua prática pelos princípios dialógicos da construção do conhecimento a partir da reflexão de todos os envolvidos no ato educativo; pelo compromisso com a educação problematizadora (FREIRE), em seu papel transformador e emancipatório representada pela função social da escola. Os resultados apontam que o uso das tecnologias de comunicação amplia o espaço-tempo da aula presencial e permite que os objetos da disciplina se articulem ao cotidiano do aluno. Também apontam para a necessidade de inserção - pela escola - do uso dessas tecnologias e o reconhecimento de suas potencialidades pedagógicas. As Tecnologias de Informação e de Comunicação (TIC) ampliam a função social dos conteúdos da disciplina ao permitir que a reflexão sobre a própria realidade - pelo aluno - possa ser complementada sob perspectiva da interatividade como elemento constitutivo do novo modelo conversacional, descentrado e bidirecional. A mediação tecnológica, nos diálogos virtuais, proporciona terreno fértil de novos (outros) contornos à prática (mediação) pedagógica orientada pelos princípios da dialogicidade ao permitir, entre outros aspectos, que os alunos proponham novos temas para as aulas, realizem novas leituras e interpretações e tenham acesso permanente ao professor. Tal postura metodológica constata a presença de transformações na arquitetura de poder da sala de aula tradicional polarizada na figura do mestre. As TIC possibilitam pela cooperação e diálogo crítico-reflexiva, ampliação da rede sinérgica do conhecimento favorecendo a dialogicidade, interação e mediação pedagógica e tecnológica incrementando a qualidade da relação entre os atores do ato educativo abrindo novos caminhos para construção do conhecimento em Sociologia.
This research examines situations of dialogue and interaction through the computer and web motivated by subject, authors and concepts of the Sociology discipline. Investigates the potential of dialogical construction of knowledge in situations of virtual dialogues between students and teacher of the discipline - in a mode of teaching supported by web resources that occur outside the space-time of traditional classroom. It has as hypothesis to verify if the sharing of information through the network and the technological mediation demands are incorporated by the school and whether the communication in virtual environments broadens the dialogical perspective of scholar knowledges construction, in which the teacher as a provocative cognitive (PICONEZ) may (re)evaluate the relationships in the teaching-learning Sociology discipline. From the perspective of the action research, it was structured in the observation and direct participation and qualitative analysis of concrete situations of conversations involving virtual educational environment, the following technology tools: electronic mail (e-mail), researches on the internet, analysis from the exhibition of DVD movies, interactions through a blog published by the teacher and meetings through MSN. The proposal of the issues and analysis of the dialogues from the perspective are from a synergistic network, that is, that knowledge is the result of the articulation of individual thoughts. These thoughts are guided and motivated by the goals of the Sociology discipline, explained in the National Curriculum Guidelines (OCN), official government document, prepared by experts from the Social Sciences and complementary to the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN). Such goals are represented in the process of Sociology discipline and its approach requires the presence of a teacher to guide the practice through the dialogical principles of the construction of knowledge from the reflection of all those involved in the education act; the commitment to education problematizing (FREIRE), its role as a transformers and emancipator represented by the social function of the school. The results indicate that the use of communication technologies broadens the space-time of the presential class and allows the objects of discipline to articulate the student\'s daily life. They also point the need of integration for the school for the use of these technologies and the recognition of their educational potential. The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) expand the social content of the discipline by allowing the discussion about the reality -by the student may be supplemented under the perspective of interactivity as a component of the new conversational model, off center and bidirectional. The technological mediation, in virtual dialogues, provides fertile ground for new (other) outlines to practice (mediation) guided by the principles of dialogicality when allowing, among other things, that the students propose new topics for classes, performing new interpretations and readings and have permanent access to the teacher. This methodological posture constates the presence of changes in the architecture power in the classroom in the traditional figure of the polarized master. The ICT allows by the cooperation and critical-reflexive dialogue, synergistic expansion of the network of knowledge favoring dialogicality, interaction and pedagogical and technological mediation increasing the quality of the relationship between the actors of the education action opening new avenues for the construction of knowledge in Sociology.

Abstract:

There are big differences when it comes to access to digital teaching resources between Swedish school units. Previous research indicates that the digital resources that are available in schools are not always integrated into the teaching practice. A lack of resources will affect the teachers’ ability to, as stipulated in the curriculum, integrate digital resources into their teaching. It is therefore of interest to examine teaching practice in a school with good access to digital resources. The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of a few teachers’ attitudes and opinions of digital resources within the context of reading and writing acquisition in primary school. Additionally, the teachers’ knowledgebase in relation to digital resources will be examined. Lastly the study aims to provide ample examples of how digital resources can be integrated into teaching practice. The study used a combination of data collection methods namely observation and semi-structured interviews and the teacher knowledgebase was analysed using the TPACK-model. The results show that all teachers in the study have strong positive attitudes towards the use of digital resources in their teaching practice and that their TPACK knowledge is at a high level when it comes to teaching practices concerning reading and writing acquisition at a primary school level. Courage to implement digital resources into teaching practice and the teacher’s personal interest in technology are identified as key components for effective development of digital competence in the context of teaching. Hands on examples of how digital resources are used in teachers everyday work life are also presented.
Det finns stora klyftor när det gäller tillgång till digitala resurser i undervisningen mellan svenska skolor. Tidigare forskning indikerar att de digitala resurser som finns inte alltid integreras i undervisningen. Brist på digitala resurser påverkar lärares möjligheter att integrera dem så som styrdokumenten stipulerar. Det är således intressant att undersöka lärarverksamhet i en skola med god tillgång till digitala resurser. Syftet med undersökningen är att skapa en bild av några lärares upplevelser av digitala resurser i läs- och skrivundervisningen i årskurs F-3 och undersöka lärarnas kunskapsbas i förhållande till digitala resurser, samt att ge en bild av konkreta praktiknära exempel på hur denna integrering kan göras. Studien kombinerar observation och semi-strukturerad intervju som datainsamling och lärarnas kunskapsbas analyseras enligt TPACK-modellen. Resultaten visar att lärarna är odelat positiva till digitala resurser i undervisningen och att deras kunskapsbas utifrån TPACK-modellen när det gäller läs- och skrivundervisning i årskurserna F-3 är på en hög nivå. Modet att våga prova samt ett eget intresse av att utveckla digital kompetens identifieras av lärarna som centrala egenskaper för professionell kompetensutveckling. Konkreta exempel på hur digitala resurser används i lärarnas vardag framkommer också.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo relacionar a Revolução Tecnológica Microeletrônica na concepção do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Automação Industrial do CEETEPS. Como procedimento metodológico foi utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental. Considerando que a Revolução Tecnológica Microeletrônica foi um fenômeno marcante na segunda metade do século XX no campo do trabalho, buscou-se compreender como seus efeitos incidiram no sistema de Educação Tecnológica brasileiro, país de economia tardia. O trabalho está estruturado em três capítulos. No primeiro foi realizada uma discussão acerca da Revolução Tecnológica Microeletrônica e sua participação no processo de reestruturação produtiva mundial. No segundo fazemos alguns apontamentos pertinentes à legislação e políticas públicas para a expansão do ensino superior tecnológico brasileiro desde seus primeiros passos - no final dos anos 1960 - dentro do contexto educacional brasileiro e de suas particularidades. No terceiro capítulo apresentamos uma discussão acerca da concepção do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Automação Industrial do CEETEPS - através de seu Projeto Político Pedagógico -, documentação e propostas. Nas conclusões relacionamos todos os pontos apresentados nos capítulos anteriores com o processo de formulação do CST em Automação Industrial do CEETEPS e seu novo modelo de formação profissional baseado em cursos de curta duração e que atendiam requisitos para formação de força de trabalho que era demandada à época.
The present study aims to relate the Technological Microelectronic Revolution in the design of the Higher Technological Course in Industrial Automation of CEETEPS. As a methodological procedure, bibliographical research and documentary analysis were used. Considering that the Microelectronic Technological Revolution was a marked phenomenon in the second half of the 20th century in the field of work, it was sought to understand how its effects affected the Brazilian Technological Education system, a country of late economy. The work is structured in three chapters. In the first, a discussion was held about the Microelectronic Technological Revolution and its participation in the process of world productive restructuring. In the second, we make some pertinent notes to the legislation and public policies for the expansion of Brazilian technological higher education since its first steps - in the late 1960s - within the Brazilian educational context and its particularities. In the third chapter we present a discussion about the design of the Higher Technological Course in Industrial Automation CEETEPS - through its Political Project Pedagogical - documentation and proposals. In the conclusions we related all the points presented in the previous chapters with the process of formulating the CST in Industrial Automation CEETEPS and its new model of vocational training based on short courses and that met requirements for training of workforce that was demanded at the time.

Abstract:

Digitalisering av skolan har pågått under en lång tid men integreringen av digitala verktyg i matematikundervisning har inte visat sig följa den önskade pedagogisk utvecklingen för att lärande skulle främjas. Nyligen genomförda studier har funnit att en avgörande faktor för effektiv integrering av teknologin i undervisning är lärarna kunskap kring digitala verktyg. Denna studie söker undersöka lärarnas kunskap kring Technology, Content, Pedagogy och deras kombinationer med syftet att öka förståelsen om lärarnas integrering av digitala verktyg i matematikundervisning. Ämnen diskuteras ur det TPACK teoretiska ramverket. För att samla in data fick 47 matematiklärare verksamma på gymnasieskolor i Stockholm, Sverige besvara en enkät. Resultatet visar att lärarna själva upplever att de har goda kunskaper i Pedagogy, Content and Pedagogical Content men är inte så säkra när Technology berördes. Vidare visade resultatet att kunskap om teknologi per se inte influerar manliga lärares kunskap i TPACK lika mycket som det gör för kvinnliga kollegor samt att det inte finns ett samband mellan undervisningserfarenhet och kunskap i TPACK. Skillnader mellan olika studier genomförda i olika platser tyder på att det behövs en djupare förståelse om mekanismerna som ligger bakom avskaffning av kunskapen för effektiv integrering av digitala verktyg i undervisning och att det behövs ta hänsyn till bakgrundsfrågor vid undersökningar av lärares kunskap. Emellertid behövs det fortsätta studera och utveckla det teoretiska TPACK ramverket och de instrument som används för att undersöka kunskaperna inom detta ramverk.

This thesis shows that the training of teachers from a school that participates in the One Computer per Student UCA Project (Projeto Um Computador por Aluno Projeto UCA) allows the development of digital-pedagogical competencies. It also intends to provide the understanding of the concept of digital-pedagogical competencies, offering contributions to the development of theories which may deal with the levels that characterize the evolution process of the teacher s technological and pedagogical appropriation, considering other already existent theories that are related to the appropriation of technologies. For that, an investigation was carried out at the school EE Antonio Carlos Ferreira Nobre, São Paulo, whose teachers took part in the second phase of the UCA Project. This phase involves the implementation of educational laptops in public schools for the use of both students and teachers, and the training of teachers so they can use this technology and the infrastructure to access wireless Internet, bringing to the schools new concepts related to mobile technology. Pontific Catholic University of São Paulo (PUCSP Pontíficia Universidade Católica de São Paulo) was responsible for the teachers training. Considering the assumption that the laptop s pedagogical appropriation is connected to technological appropriation, in a competent and conscious way, the research s theory includes the concepts of technological appropriation, competencies, and consciousness. These are also used as categories for the study that aims to identify the teachers advances regarding the educational laptop pedagogical appropriation. There is also the assumption that the levels of the laptop s pedagogical appropriation are associated with these categories, to a lower or higher degree. The identification of the teachers technological and pedagogical difficulties during the training process that took place at the school EE Antonio Carlos Ferreira Nobre led the trainers to establish new strategies for the course s development. These included workshops regarding themes directly related to the teachers needs concerning the activities done with the laptop, so to increase these teachers consciousness level. The observations of the initial stages of the training process and of the workshops developed allowed for an understanding of the challenge faced by the teachers when they had to deal with this new technology, in addition to their difficulties, and the values and meanings attributed by these teachers. This knowledge guided the next steps in the training process so the teachers could appropriate the technologies, developing new and diverse competencies for the execution of their pedagogical practices. The identification of the teachers advances regarding the laptop s pedagogical and technological appropriation was analyzed based on the theories about appropriation development proposed by Sandholtz, Ringstaff and Dwyer (1997);on the studies by Borges (2009) regarding technological appropriation (emphasizing her conclusions about the impact caused by the emotional aspects on this appropriation s development); and on the digital competencies model created by Krumsvik (2008), which was produced with the intention of confirming the direct relation among the categories appropriation, consciousness and competencies. In order to enrich the reflection, a dialogue was created with theorists and specialists who emphasize the importance of the teacher s training occurring in a constructive and contextualized situation along with the consciousness of the people who took part in the project, such as Freire (1983), Valente (1999), Almeida (2004),and Prado (1996). The studies that were carried out by the PUCSP s team, who was responsible for the training, allowed the conclusion that the strategies added to the training s initial methodology permitted the teacher s grasping of consciousness and somehow the customization of the course according to the class s profile, respecting each teacher s way of learning. The technological and pedagogical appropriation of the laptop is currently in process, and tends to proceed since, as the course progresses, this has created opportunities for the teachers to reflect on the teaching and learning processes concerning the laptop and to develop new levels of competencies. At the end of the course, the PUCSP team introduced a support plan for the teacher that will allow the training process to continue. Even though the students were not the subjects of the research, the investigation also allowed the comparison between the students and the teacher s technological appropriation processes, permitting the observation of a digital gap between them which is becoming smaller as the teachers reach higher levels of technology pedagogical appropriation, developing the digital-pedagogical competency, whose concept was introduced and analyzed during this research
Esta tese tem como objetivo mostrar que a formação dos professores de uma escola que participa do Projeto Um Computador por Aluno Projeto UCA possibilita o desenvolvimento de competências pedagógico-digitais. Visa, também, compreender o conceito de competência pedagógico-digital, oferecendo subsídios ao desenvolvimento de teorias que pressuponham níveis que caracterizem o processo de evolução da apropriação tecnológica e pedagógica do professor, considerando outras já existentes e que dizem respeito à apropriação de tecnologias. Para isto, foi realizada uma pesquisa na EE Antonio Carlos Ferreira Nobre, São Paulo, cujos professores participam da 2ª Fase do Projeto UCA, que prevê a implantação de laptops educacionais nas escolas públicas, para uso de professores e alunos, formação para o uso desta tecnologia e infraestrutura para acesso à internet sem fio, introduzindo na escola novos conceitos relacionados à tecnologia móvel, entre outros. A formação desses professores coube à Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo. Considerando o pressuposto de que a apropriação pedagógica do laptop está vinculada à apropriação da tecnologia em uso, de modo consciente e competente, o aporte teórico que embasa a tese inclui os conceitos de apropriação tecnológica, competências e conscientização, os quais também assumem o caráter de categorias para a pesquisa que visa identificar os avanços dos professores em relação à apropriação pedagógica do laptop educacional. Tem-se como pressuposto que os níveis de apropriação pedagógica do laptop educacional estão associados à presença, em menor ou maior grau, dessas categorias. A identificação das dificuldades tecnológicas e pedagógicas dos professores, durante as ações de formação dos professores da EE Antonio Carlos Ferreira Nobre, levou os formadores a utilizarem novas estratégias para o desenvolvimento do curso, inclusive oficinas sobre temas diretamente relacionados às necessidades dos docentes para a execução de atividades com o laptop, potencializando a conscientização dos docentes. O acompanhamento da formação inicial prevista e das Oficinas permitiu compreender o desafio de como os professores recebem essas novidades, suas dificuldades, os valores e sentidos implicados para o sujeito professor e, com isso, os caminhos percorridos para se apropriarem das tecnologias, desenvolvendo novas e diversificadas competências para a execução de sua prática. A identificação dos avanços dos professores, em relação à apropriação tecnológica e pedagógica do laptop, foi analisada com base no modelo de evolução da apropriação desenvolvido por Sandholtz, Ringstaff, Dwyer (1997), nos estudos de Borges (2009) sobre apropriação tecnológica, enfatizando, sobretudo, suas conclusões sobre o impacto do aspecto emocional para a evolução desta apropriação, e no modelo de competências digitais elaborado por Krumsvik (2008), com o objetivo de ratificar a relação direta entre as categorias apropriação, conscientização e competências. Com o objetivo de enriquecer a reflexão, foi estabelecido um diálogo com teóricos e estudiosos que enfatizam a importância de a formação do professor ocorrer na perspectiva construcionista e contextualizada, com conscientização por parte dos sujeitos envolvidos, tais como, Freire (1983), Valente (1999), Almeida (2004) e Prado (1996). Os estudos realizados permitiram concluir que as estratégias acrescentadas à metodologia inicial do curso de formação, criadas pela equipe deformação da PUCSP, estão possibilitando a conscientização do professor e, de algum modo, a personalização do curso conforme o perfil da turma, respeitando o modo de aprender de cada professor. A apropriação tecnológica e pedagógica do laptop está em processo e tende a continuar, pois à medida que o curso avança, permitindo ao professor refletir sobre os processos de ensinar e aprender com o laptop, novas competências são desenvolvidas pelos mesmos. Ao término do curso, a PUCSP introduziu um Plano de Sustentação e Apoio ao docente que possibilitará a continuidade do projeto na escola, independente das ações externas de formação. Ainda que os alunos não tenham sido objeto da pesquisa, a investigação permitiu, também, realizar um comparativo entre os processos de apropriação tecnológica de professores e alunos, concluindo que as brechas digitais entre eles diminuem à medida que o professor avança em níveis de apropriação pedagógica das tecnologias, desenvolvendo a competência pedagógico-digital, cujo conceito foi introduzido e analisado neste trabalho

Abstract:

I denna studie har vi varit intresserade av att undersöka frågan om den digitaliserade läs- och skrivundervisningen utifrån ett lärarperspektiv. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka olika faktorer som kan påverka lärares inställning till ASL-metoden. Vi har särskilt intresserat oss för frågan om lärares digitala kompetens som en betydande faktor. Vi har valt att genomföra en enkätundersökning riktad till lärare som använder ASL-metoden i sin undervisning, för att försöka besvara frågan om vilka faktorer som kan tyckas ha påverkan på deras inställning till ASL-metoden. Det var 22 lärare som svarade på vår enkät och vi har sammanställt och analyserat enkätsvaren både med hjälp av kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod. Vi har även använt TPACK-modellen i vissa delar av vår analys. Med hjälp av TPACK-modellen har vi kunnat synliggöra olika komponenter, vilka tillsammans utgör de kunskaper som anses viktiga för att lärare ska kunna integrera digitala verktyg i sin undervisning, på ett sätt som främjar elevernas lärande. I vår analys kunde vi se att för de lärare som besvarat vår enkät så verkade inte digital kompetens ha en särskilt betydande roll i förhållande till deras inställning till ASL-metoden. Vi såg även att lärarna överlag hade en positiv inställning till metoden och att de såg betydligt fler möjligheter än hinder i arbetet med metoden. De vanligaste hindren som de såg var av teknisk karaktär till exempel nätverksproblem, men även att eleverna inte fick öva sin motorik och handstil. De slutsatser som vi presenterar är bland annat att en faktor som verkar vara av särskild betydelse för lärarnas positiva inställning till ASL-metoden är deras tilltro till de fördelar som kommer med att använda digitala verktyg i undervisningen.

The society organization has been sofering several changes all of the time. At lastest decade the advance of means of communication and information was great a lot, not only on diffusion terms, but even at appearing of new technologies that produce a significant change on concepts at yet existents concerning communication and the manner of to understand the space and the society. The means of communication get through a part of daily people, surrounding them for all the sides, producing several alterations in their lifestyle. However, a special public is more familiar with new technologies: the young people. Connected at the world by various channels, the young people are inserted in world by a different form of that registred many years ago. With changed of individual reality, there is a collective reality change, in many different sections of society, including the school. In a attempt to attend the new setting, transformed by thecnological advances, that impose new rhythm and dimensions to task of learn and teach, some schools bet at incorporation of technologies as a significant phenomenom of change. So, this study search to describe the actual educational setting and expectations that exist around questions connected to it, that include since the course organization until the teacher s actuation in classroom. The research was been realized in two municipal schools of Pelotas town and the sample have counted with five high school teachers that use technological resources in their classes. We search through these observations and semi structured enterviews with teachers, to understand much better how they express their practices in relation to the pedagogical aspects when they use technological resources in their classes
A organização da sociedade vem sofrendo diversas mudanças ao longo do tempo. Nas últimas décadas o avanço dos meios de comunicação e informação foi muito grande, não só em termos de difusão, mas também do surgimento de novas tecnologias que geram uma mudança significativa nos conceitos até então existentes a respeito da comunicação e na forma de compreender o espaço e a sociedade. Os meios de comunicação passam a fazer parte do cotidiano das pessoas, cercando-as por todos os lados, gerando diversas alterações em seus estilos de vida. Entretanto, um público em especial está bem mais familiarizado com as novidades tecnológicas: os jovens. Conectados ao mundo através de diversos canais, os jovens estão inseridos no mundo de uma forma diferente daquela registrada há alguns anos. Com a mudança da realidade individual, há também mudança na realidade coletiva, nos mais diversos setores da sociedade, incluindo a escola. Na tentativa de acompanhar o novo cenário, transformado pelos avanços tecnológicos, que impõem novos ritmos e dimensões à tarefa de ensinar e aprender, algumas escolas apostam na incorporação de tecnologias como fenômeno significativo de mudança. Assim, este estudo procura descrever o atual cenário educacional e as expectativas que existem em torno das questões a ele relacionadas, que incluem desde a organização curricular até a atuação do professor em sala de aula. A pesquisa foi realizada em duas escolas do município de Pelotas e a amostra contou com cinco professores do ensino médio que utilizam recursos tecnológicos em suas aulas. Procuramos então, através de observações e entrevistas semi estruturadas com os professores, melhor compreender como eles expressam suas práticas em relação aos aspectos pedagógicos quando utilizam recursos tecnológicos em suas aulas

The present study aimed in identifying operational indicators of Young Activist Network project involving two groups of children ages 9 to 12 years old; the groups Young Activist and the Juventude Ativa. This study is part of an educational program that uses digital applied-technology as tool for developing events related to youth activism. This research was conducted in the community-based technology centers Juventude Interativa Social Lab and Telecentro Padre Joseph Alan Black located at Jardim Antartica in the north side of Sao Paulo city. This study is a qualitative research that uses the action research metodology (Hart). The proposed work approached digital inclusion as a mean to achieve social inclusion while attempts to overcome the digital gap on the fluency of the computer language and knowledge in building community-assets. Juventude Ativa group developed a workshop based on citizenship and environmental education and the Young Activist workshop had the foundation of Roger Hart s participation, theory of technological fluency (Resnick), citizenship (Pina) and other categories related from social aspects that emerged from Vygostky´s scope. Data collected were qualitative only, which were analyzed in two categories as follows; the Pina procedure for citizenship and Hart s participation and technological fluency with Resnick procedure. Our results support the development of youth activism actions using different models/focus. The action research cycle and the development of youth activism mediated by the use of digital technology was not developed in the Environmental Education Workshop by the Juventude Ativa group, but it was developed at the Young Activist Network Workshop using bottom-up model. Although, there was an obvious gain in their learning process using digital technology, the lack of technological fluency still exists causing a gap, which was well noticed in both workshops/ community technology centers.
O presente trabalho analisou a operacionalização dos projetos Rede de Jovens Ativistas e Juventude Ativa, através do desenvolvimento de ações de protagonismo juvenil. Foram desenvolvidas duas oficinas com 18 jovens de 9 a 12 anos ocorridas nos centros de tecnologia comunitária Laboratório Social Juventude Interativa e Telecentro Padre Joseph Alan Black situados no bairro do Jardim Antártica, zona norte da cidade de São Paulo. Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa que utiliza da metodologia da pesquisa-ação (Hart) e realizou uma análise de dados de acordo com o modelo misto. A inclusão digital foi debatida através dos conceitos de uso da tecnologia para a inclusão social e da brecha digital gerada pela falta da fluência tecnológica, sendo associada esta temática ao protagonismo juvenil. As categorias previamente selecionadas para a análise dos dados foram cidadania (Pina), participação (Hart) e fluência tecnológica (Resnick) e outras relacionadas ao aspecto social emergiram da leitura dos dados tais como a leitura realizada do aspecto social sob a ótica de Vygotsky. Os resultados obtidos corroboram para o desenvolvimento de ações de protagonismo juvenil sob diferentes enfoques/modelos, onde o ciclo da pesquisa-ação não foi evidenciado na oficina de educação ambiental e na da Rede de Jovens Ativistas ocorreram algumas etapas. Conclui-se neste trabalho que apesar de ter havido um aprimoramento no uso das tecnologias digitais, a brecha digital gerada pela falta de fluência tecnológica continuou a existir nas duas oficinas realizadas em decorrência de problemas, tais como: o analfabetismo, pouco tempo para utilizar as tecnologias digitais. As ações de protagonismo juvenil só foram evidenciadas na oficina da Rede de Jovens Ativistas de acordo com um modelo bottom-up .

Abstract:

Higher education institutions in Barbados have introduced blended learning as a strategy to improve students' academic performance and achievement. Despite the implementation of blended learning, the poor student performance and outcomes persist. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how teaching processes and practices at the institution have influenced blended learning to improve student achievement. A social constructivist framework was used to guide the study. The research question addressed the practices and processes used by teachers to increase student learning and performance in a blended learning environment. Data collection involved semistructured interviews with 6 teachers from the study site. Lean coding analysis yielded 4 themes: student engagement, student success, pedagogical and technological challenges, and teacher professional development. Findings were used to create a teacher professional development program for local stakeholders with an emphasis on pedagogical best practices and processes for creating and sustaining an effective blended learning environment. Findings may be used to improve student engagement and academic success at the study site.

Abstract:

The emergence of online learning environments and advances in web-based technologies enable teachers to interact and exchange ideas and experiences in online communities. However, these rapid technological advances also cause such online communities to disband quickly, before they have the opportunity to evolve into a community of practice, in which a group of teachers build a shared history, a shared repertoire of resources and activities, and mutually engage in collaborative professional development, over time. Moreover, rapid advances in technology necessitate on-going collaboration among teachers so that they develop meaningful technology integration practice. While such collaborations have taken place in face-to-face settings, how this might be achieved through participation in an online teacher community of practice has been under-researched. Therefore, the present study examines one long-standing, globally-distributed, online community of practice created by English language teachers, called "Webheads in Action", whose shared domain of interest centers on exploring the pedagogical uses of web-based technologies in English language teaching. The study employs netnography, or online ethnography, in which the researcher collects data through participant observation, interviews, and archiving, all of which is conducted completely online. The aim of this study was to understand the broader culture of learning, collaboration, and mentoring in this online language teacher community by exploring and analyzing its shared repertoire of resources, and activities; ways members engage in the collective development of this technology integration practice; and the role of participation in such an online community of practice on developing language teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge when designing instruction. The data for this study comes from various sources of data collected through online participant observation in this community's activities over a year, reflective observational fieldnotes, online interviews, and archived data. Throughout my online fieldwork, I participated in this online community's activities both synchronously and asynchronously. At the same time, I took reflective observational fieldnotes of my participation and observations during these activities, as well as community's spaces and email communications. As for archival data, I archived the email communication that occurred during my time in the field, as well as screenshots of the community spaces and platforms. I conducted in-depth interviews with four key people in this community in order to better understand the organization and background of this community and its activities, and interviewed five individual members in order to learn about their stories with and as Webheads. Through qualitative data analysis procedures, namely coding, categorizing and finding themes, the study provides a rich and thick description as well as an analysis of this community and its culture in the light of my experiences and observations, as well as the experiences of others. The study reveals insights as to the culture of teacher learning in an online community of practice and the mediation of technological pedagogical content knowledge in online communities of practice. Limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are also presented, as well as an in-depth discussion of how ethnographic fieldwork practices are adapted in netnography with online communities of practice.
