The Impact

AbstractDigital technologies fundamentally transform teaching and learning in higher education environments, with the pace of technological change exacerbating the challenge. Due to the current pandemic situation, higher education environments are all now forced to move away from traditional teaching and learning structures that are simply no longer adaptable to the challenges of rapidly changing educational environments. This research develops a conceptual model and employs Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using Partial least Squares (PLS) to examine the impact of information and digital literacy on 249 Finnish university staff and students’ intention to use digital technologies. The findings show the complex interrelationship between literacy skills and digital technologies among university staff and students. The results illustrate that information literacy has a direct and significant impact on intention to use; while, unlike our expectation, digital literacy does not have a direct impact on the intention to use. However, its effect is mediated through performance expectancy and effort expectancy. The authors suggest that to understand the changes that are taking place in higher education environment, more attention needs to be paid to redefining policies and strategies in order to enhance individuals’ willingness to use digital technologies within higher education environments.

Digital Fluency

This paper reports on a case study research focusing on digital fluency as a new competence for teaching foreign languages through technology. The data were generated on a training course having as its main purpose the investigation of pre-service and in-service teachers' perceptions about the relevance of digital fluency and the pedagogical use of digital technologies for foreign language (FL) teaching and learning. The trainee teachers were asked to work in groups with the purpose of exploring Windows Movie Maker software in order to create a movie addressing the importance of digital fluency and the potential of this digital tool in FL teaching and learning. The results suggest that digital fluency was considered a necessary competence for the creation of more attractive and dynamic lessons that motivate meaningful FL production.

ABSTRACTThis article focuses on conceptual and methodological issues concerning the contribution that digital technologies can provide to School education in the context of the teaching and learning of history in matters related to cultural heritage process. Brazil has the “Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional” (Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage) to implement public policies in order to to preserve their culture. In partnership with the “Universidade Federal do Pará” (Federal University of Pará), the unit of the institute in the state of Pará has developed a tool of heritage education called “Ver-o-Site”, an online page with the objective of increasing the cultural appreciation of Ver-o-Peso, the largest free fair in Latin America, a cultural and touristical symbol, and also the starting point of this state capital, the city of Belém. As we evaluate the considerable importance that digital technologies like this have on students' lives, creating new forms and speed of access and sharing of information, we consider that educators must use them as educational tools. With the Ver-oSite, you can work aspects of colonial occupation process, historical, economic and social development of urban areas in the Brazilian Amazon, as well as the space that places like the Ver-o-Peso occupy in the cultural heritage of inhabitants of cities like Belém. Such action aims to strengthen the role of social formation of the school with students in the digital age.RESUMOEste trabalho objetiva discutir fundamentos conceituais e teórico-metodológicos relativos à contribuição que tecnologias digitais podem fornecer a educação escolar no contexto do processo de ensino-aprendizagem da disciplina história em assuntos relacionados ao patrimônio cultural. O Brasil conta com o Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional para executar políticas públicas de preservação de sua cultura. Em parceria com a Universidade Federal do Pará, a unidade do instituto no Estado Pará desenvolveu uma ferramenta de educação patrimonial chamada Ver-o-Site, uma página on-line voltada à valorização cultural do Ver-o-Peso, a maior feira livre da América Latina, símbolo cultural, turísti-co e ponto de origem da capital deste estado, a cidade de Belém. Avaliando o espaço considerável que tecnologias digitais como esta têm na vida dos alunos, gerando novas formas e velocidade de acesso e socialização de informação, pondera-se que os educadores devam utilizá-las como ferramentas educativas. Com o Ver-o-Site, pode-se trabalhar aspectos do proces-so de ocupação colonial, formação histórica, econômica e social de núcleos urbanos da Amazônia brasileira, bem como o espaço que lugares como o Ver-o-Peso ocupam no patrimônio cultural de habitantes de cidades como Belém. Tal ação visa fortalecer o papel de formação social da escola junto aos alunos na era digital. Contato principal: [email protected]

Structural Aspects

The present contribution conducts an intervention in the study and practice of digital and media literacy. After reviewing key tenets of recent debates, I advance a specific understanding of the concept – critical digital literacy – that, as I argue, comprehensively addresses issues of knowledge, competencies, and skills in relation to digital technologies. In particular, I posit that critical thinking about educational and other values of ‘the digital’ needs to take structural aspects of the technology into account that are often eschewed in instrumental or commercially-driven approaches. To prepare pupils for their future lives requires a widest possible contextualisation of technology, including issues of exploitation, commodification, and degradation in digital capitalism. Finally, I make concrete suggestions for constructive uses of technology in teaching and learning.

Modern Technologies

Информационно-компьютерные технологии (ИКТ) являются одним из величайших достижений человечества. Начиная с появления Нomo sapiens множество технологий разной степени сложности являются его постоянными спутниками на всем протяжении существования. Во многом благодаря именно развитию технологий, возникли такие явления как цивилизация, наука и искусство. Современные технологии также коренным образом изменяют нашу жизнь. Они влияют на различные стороны нашего бытия, и во многом определяют само это бытие. Как показывает практика, современные ИКТ играют важнейшую роль в каждой сфере жизни современного общества. Некоторые задачи обучения и развития также могут быть существенно автоматизированы благодаря современным цифровым технологиям. Следует также отметить, что многие сложные и критически важные процессы могут быть осуществлены менее затратно и с большей эффективностью при использовании таких технологий. Благодаря более продвинутым или прикладным ИКТ жизнь человека существенно изменилась, и, следует заметить, она изменилась к лучшему. Следует отметить также, что современные цифровые технологии привнесли поистине революционные изменения и в сферу образования. Важность вопроса внедрения ИКТ в школах различного уровня сегодня уже трудно переоценить. Фактически с появлением цифровых технологий в образовании учителям стало значительно легче делиться знаниями, а ученикам их приобретать. Повсеместное использование ИКТ сделало тесно взаимосвязанные процессы преподавания и обучения значительно более интересными и позитивно окрашенными, как для преподавателей так и для обучающихся. Information and computer technologies (ICT) are one of the greatest achievements of mankind. Since the emergence of Nomo sapiens, many technologies of varying degrees of complexity have been its constant companions throughout its existence. It is largely due to the development of technology that such phenomena as civilization, science and art have emerged. Modern technologies are also fundamentally changing our lives. They affect various aspects of our being, and in many ways determine this very being. As practice shows, modern ICT play a crucial role in every sphere of modern society. Some training and development tasks can also be significantly automated thanks to modern digital technologies. It should also be noted that many complex and critical processes can be implemented less cost-effectively and with greater efficiency when using such technologies. Thanks to more advanced or applied ICTs, a person's life has changed significantly, and, it should be noted, it has changed for the better. It should also be noted that modern digital technologies have brought truly revolutionary changes to the field of education. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of implementing ICT in schools at various levels today. In fact, with the advent of digital technologies in education, it has become much easier for teachers to share knowledge and for students to acquire it. The widespread use of ICTs has made the closely interlinked processes of teaching and learning much more interesting and positive for both teachers and students.

Media Channels

Digital technologies have brought about a revolution in all areas of life: technological, business, communicative, cultural, and even in knowledge and entertainment. In the educational landscape it also has its reflection and the methodologies and resources have been redrawn, in terms of different media, channels, languages, narratives, etc. These changes, substantive and profound, affect all the society simultaneously, but other agents as educational administrations and the publishing sector is also involved. In this research we analyze a sample of institutional portals and commercial platforms that offer digital didactic resources in the area of mathematics in the Autonomous Community of Galicia. We focus on the type of materials, the pedagogical model that underlies them, the differences between commercial and institutional platforms, their use, impact on teaching and learning mathematics in the classroom, etc. The instrument used was a questionnaire designed ad hoc and validated and administered to 13 commercial platforms; both those produced commercially by publishing companies and those of an institutional nature generated by the regional administrations of the Canary Islands, Galicia and Valencia. The results indicate that, although the range of online offer of didactic materials for mathematics is wide and with varied formats, they have pedagogical shortcomings that do not favor active methodologies or a true integration of other alternatives that promote the development of open, flexible educational projects that facilitate the attention to the individual and collective diversity of each person, as well as the participation, interactivity / connectivity of the educational community, since most reproduce the format of the printed textbook by adding some online resources.

Complex Relationships

This chapter is set in the context of two developing countries, Mongolia and Chile, where digital technology is seen as a powerful icon of the knowledge economy. The predominant and common discourses surrounding the uses of digital technologies in education in these developing countries usually assume rather celebratory stances of the roles digital technologies may perform in education in the digital age. Thus, the research reported here explores the realities, opportunities, and challenges that academic staff face when using digital technologies through the perspectives offered by the field of digital literacy studies. The findings illustrate the close and complex relationships between sociocultural contexts, beliefs, values, and digital literacy practices. The study suggests that more attention needs to be paid to the wider contexts affecting the digital practices around teaching and learning rather than to technologies per se.
