Focusing on intermediate and institutional levels of design for learning, this chapter explores how institutional decisions relate to design, using recent experience at The Open University as a case study. To illuminate the relationship between institutional decisions and learner-focused design, we review and bring together some of the research on learner practices in mobile and networked learning. We take a critical stance in relation to the concept of generation, which has been applied to understanding learners of different ages using terms such as net generation and digital natives. Following on from this, we propose an integrated pedagogical design approach that takes account of learner practices, spaces for learning, and technologies. The chapter also proposes future research directions focused on the changing context for learning, a distinction between place and space and an understanding of how the different levels of educational systems interact with mobile and networked technologies.

Development and extensive use of information and communication technologies has led to important implications for public sectors throughout the world. As a result, in governmental services, citizens have been enjoying better quality services, in an efficient and effective manner. e-government, however, is more related to “government” rather than the “e” as the technical and technological one. The challenge is to use technologies to improve the capacities of government institutions, while improving the quality of life of citizens by redefining the relationship between citizens and their government. Accordingly, this chapter focuses on e-government applications highlighted to reach a more citizen centric e-government in Turkey. Especially, two concepts of e-government, content management system and measuring citizens’ satisfaction from e-services are underlined. Therefore, after giving a theoretical background first on e-government, content management and then measuring e-services satisfaction, new developments towards these concepts are accounted.

This article makes visible the problems around teachers’ knowledge regarding teaching and content management. It shows an experience of a proposal of Interdisciplinary Core Content (ICC) created by us for the Ministry of Education of Santa Fe, Argentina. Aided by Shulman’s questions and his missing paradigm, we formulate our own questions about the relationship between content and teaching: why is teaching a content-free domain? If it is a problem of curriculum and didactics, what can we do with these dissociated fields of study which need to keep coexisting in the same environment? Addressing the curriculum-didactics in teaching includes the interdisciplinary debates to set up contents. In the curriculum-society relationship, ICC are developed taking the social issues proper of each context about Human Rights, Climate Change, Violence, Energy, Culture, the Space, Nutrition and Health as starting points. As a micro-level curriculum policy, the selection and sequencing of content transforms into a teaching problem. While at the meso-level dialogue, the relationship between curriculum and didactics is strengthened. The event question about what is going on? shows its genealogical nature. This teaching scenario is established based on the didactic triad, conditioned by the institutional context and configured by the special characteristics of each one of the members of the class.

The purpose of this study is to identify communication problems and determine optimal conditions for further reproduction of experience in pedagogical practice for effective communication formation in children. Analysis of the literature has revealed several causes of communication problems. The genetic predisposition affects the interaction with others, but by creating a favorable environment for children, it is possible to adjust the regulation of behavior by pedagogical influences and form the child’s communicative skills that will help them to stay and interact with people around them without harm to themself and society. The emotional internal state can also negatively affect the relationship with others and, if one teaches the child to relieve internal stress, negative situations can be avoided. Also, if one teaches a child to recognize the emotional state from others, then it will also help to avoid many problems in communication and interaction with others. The article describes the principles and conditions of effective formation of communicative skills in children, defines criteria, as well as the definition, of pedagogical design of communication of children. Pedagogical design is a condition for the successful formation of the communicative skills of the child. In this regard, the teacher needs to provide a favorable communicative space of the child. The article is oriented to use in practical activities and can be useful to methodologists and employees of educational institutions.

Feminist educators often encounter different forms of resistance from both male and female participants. This article uses a neo-Gramscian theoretical perspective to discuss the importance of considering this resistance when analyzing the relationship between pedagogical design and outcomes. The study draws on survey data and participant observation from a case study of a workshop designed to raise awareness of gender issues. The results from a before-and-after survey show that the workshop had the opposite effect to the one intended in terms of changes in the participants’ perceptions of gender. Having a “failed case” as the center of attention, the article sheds light on the fragility of mainstream discourse on gender equality and the dilemmas of engaging in a struggle over common sense.

The aim of the study is to analyse the relationship between visibility elements using social media that contribute most to business growth among Entrepreneurs Society in Terengganu. A questionnaire consisting of seven sections (A-G) was distributed to collect the needed information: Section A, the respondents’ demographic background; Section B, the construction of business page; section C, the establishment of community; section D, content information management; section E, analysing customer behaviour is studied; section F, market optimization opportunities; and section G, business growth. The population for this research is 87 entrepreneurs from the Entrepreneurs Society in Terengganu and from that amount 76 respondents had successfully participated. The Statistical Package for the Social Science version 25 is used to examine the result of this study. Research has revealed that the established reliability of the measurement is very strong. Cronbach Alpha is a coefficient correlation that indicates how well all the items of the average in a set of positive correlation to one another. Result of the reliability of analysis for business growth shows that Cronbach Alpha are the right tools to used. The mean of value for all variables are strong. The Pearson correlation for the relationship of business growth with construction of business page, establishment of community, content information management, and analysing customer behaviour are positive relationship with significant value of P<0.05. For conclusion, for hypothesis one until hypothesis four, the construction of business page, establishment of community, content management information, and analysing customer behaviour have significant relationship with business growth. Researchers found out that four hypotheses are accepted, and one is rejected which is the measurement of business growth. Lastly, the researchers are hoping that all entrepreneurs and business organization can gain benefit from this study.

Educational research is increasingly paying attention to students’ out-of-class learning. Students’ out-of-class learning is linked to improved class performance and constitutes an important part of learner development. Prior research has argued that learning-resources provision should encourage students’ autonomous learning both in and out of the classroom [Benson, 2013; Benson & Reinders, 2011; Gardner & Miller, 1999; Little, 1997; Richards, 2015]. However, work on autonomy often proceeds via generalities rather than focusing on its enactment in individual behavior. Accordingly, this study investigated 35 EFL undergraduates’ autonomous learning behaviors and their use of resources of the learning center of a university. Data were collected via email interviews with the participants and examination of their resources-usage records. Content analysis of the interview data, using six categories based on a learner-autonomy model, was used to generate each participant’s autonomy score. Spearman rho testing of the relationship between those scores and the students’ resources-usage scores suggested a very strong positive relationship between autonomous learning behaviors and overall usage of resources, as well as the variety of those resources used by individuals. Data analysis also revealed that, to varying degrees, each participant’s autonomous-learning behaviors (based on qualitative examples) fell into more than one of the six learner-autonomy types. Based on these findings, it is recommended that students be encouraged to learn beyond the classroom through pedagogical activities that link classroom learning to learning-center resources. Based on the findings of this study we make suggestions on pedagogical design with SAC and applications for SACs in other educational contexts.

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.
