The overarching question in this chapter has to do with cooperation dynamics in social networks on YouTube. The chapter will focus on community aspects of vlogging (video blogging) and it is suggested that networked publics and participatory cultures offer valuable opportunities to the educational system.

Modelling Problem

In this paper it is argued that modern developments in technology, such as the spreadsheet, open out possibilities for different approaches to topics in engineering mathematics, for example field theory. The aim here is not to reduce mathematics for engineers to the level of pressing buttons, but it is to encourage a deeper understanding. The visualization capabilities of computer technology, and its strength in performing repetitive tasks, can allow and indeed encourage a review both of what mathematical skills and understanding are required of engineers now and also of the best approach to nurturing that understanding. For example in an approach to two- dimensional heat conduction, the initial emphasis may be shifted away from heavy manipulation and towards modelling, problem solving and building a conceptual framework. This allows students to develop an intuitive feel for typical problems before becoming entangled in some of the more complex analytical and mathematically sophisticated issues. The current example is only one of many where modern developments in technology may lead to a review of educational as well as engineering practice.

Social Improvement

ABSTRAKPendidikan berkarakter moral adalah kunci untuk perbaikan sosial dan kemajuan peradaban bangsa yang menjunjung tinggi integritas nilai dan kemanusiaan. Bangunan sebuah peradaban sesungguhnya terletak pada manusia-manusianya. Manusialah yang membangun sebuah peradaban. Manusia pula yang mempertahankan dan menjadikannya tetap hidup, bukan bangunan atau struktur fisiknya. Kehancuran dan kemundurannya pun demikian. Maka, sejatinya pendidikan karakter disebut efektif apabila telah mencapai tujuan untuk menjadikan manusia yang mempunyai karakter; kemampuan sosial (social skill), pengembangan kepribadian (personal improvement) dan pemecahan masalah secara komprehensif (comprehensive problem solving). Manusia-manusia seperti ini hanya bisa lahir dari sistem pendidikan yang Islami yang tidak hanya mendidik akal dan keterampilan, tetapi juga mendidik jiwa. Konsep inilah yang akan menjadi garansi peradaban berkemajuan.Kata Kunci: Karakter, Social Skill, Improvement, problem solving ABSTRACTMoral Character Education is key to social improvement and nation of progress civilization that uphold the integrity and humanity. The real building civilization based on their human. Human build a civilization. Human also hold and keep it alive, not the building or stucture physical. Its destruction and decline are so. Then, Character education is actually effective when it has achieved the goal to make people who have the character; social skill, personal improvement and comprehensive problem solving. The human like this can only be born from an Islamic educational system that not only educate mind and skill, but also educate the soul. This concept will be the Guaranty of Progress Civilization.Keywords: Character, Social Skill, Improvement, Problem Solving

Early Childhood Settings

Teacher intervention in children’s disputes most commonly features cessation strategies, despite evidence showing the value of modelling problem-solving behaviours. Existing research has categorized strategies used by teachers in early childhood settings, but in this article we aim to illustrate how these practices are realized. Using the method of conversation analysis, we are able to show how children respond to different interventions, and in particular, how successful modelling of problem solving can be achieved with 4-year-old children. The extracts in this article make a case for the close study of teacher–child interactions and demonstrate how educators can support children to resolve their own disputes.

Ongoing Experiment

Our educational system is compartmentalized into various disciplines. Students learn to solve discipline specific problems rather than complex multidisciplinary problems. Commercially available computer games and simulators do not distinguish between academic disciplines. These games illustrate interactive whole systems, organize and integrate complex skills, and show how individual actions affect complex systems. Computer games and simulators enhance learning through visualization, experimentation, and creativity of play. Increased learning occurs by problem solving in a complex interactive multidisciplinary environment and by “seeing” causal relationships between individual actions and whole systems. The broader implications of using computer games in the classroom are for students to become more effective learners and thinkers enabling them to make connections across the curriculum. This article develops the ideas from the preliminary results of an ongoing experiment in a freshman engineering technology course at SUNY Farmingdale [1].1 The experiment measured an increase in learning using the computer game Sim City 2000.
