Supportive Learning Environment

<span>Modern Educational Technology is a common course in many normal universities in China. The Modern Educational Technology Center (METC) of East China Normal University (ECNU) decided to improve the course for pre-service teachers at the end of 2010. The enhanced course has some additional features, such as emphasising knowledge and skills transfer, adopting a 4C/ID model to improve the course content, focusing on common technologies as well as cutting-edge technologies, and creating a supportive learning environment by using an online platform. The METC piloted this course in the first semester of 2011. Feedback was collected from a tentative survey, the student teachers' evaluation of teaching, and their online reflections. The result indicated that the participants became more confident in designing micro e-learning courses and more interested in the field of educational technology after they completed this course. This paper describes the conceptual framework of the course, its new features, and the evaluation results.</span>

Mobile Learning System

In the context of higher education institutions in Indonesia, some of schools authority refuses the implementation of mobile learning. Although m-learning is widely used in some school in Indonesia and considered as an effective educational tool, it is not yet fully utilized in most Indonesian school. Before designing a mobile learning system, it is necessary to assess the perception of target users towards mobile learning since their perception will influence the successful the system. This research aims to investigate the perception of students of educational technology program who currently are being teachers in several level of educations towards mobile learning to ascertain their readiness to apply a mobile learning system in their teaching. The respondents of this study are 18 teachers who are being students of Magister Program on Educational Technology in e-learning & mobile learning class in even semester. This research is conducted with a survey related to implementation of mobile learning. The results show that teachers in Indonesia had positive perception and were looking forward to apply mobile learning in their teaching. Knowledge and learning method issues were not obstacles for them to use a mobile learning as well as financial obstacle. The readiness for mobile learning of teachers are vary based on the school level even though they have been taught mobile learning subject. The findings surprisingly show that accessibility of device may be a big problem on implementing mobile learning in class.

A New Species

Parapteronemobius contains 7 species or subspecies distributed in East Asia with only one species recorded from China. In this study, we reported the second species, P. chenggong He sp. nov., from Zhejiang. The new species differs from P. dibrachiatus in body size, male genitalia and COI gene. The phylogeny of this genus in subfamily Nemobiinae are discussed based on COI, 18S and 28S genes. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

INTRODUCTION: Biotechnology is a new bachelor degree in UFPA, and has been stablished with excellency in the state of Pará. However, there is the need to promote comprehension and learning in Biochemistry, as well as interdisciplinarity, that is an essential part of biotechnology. OBJECTIVES:  To increase learning and interdisciplinarity, educational games were used as tools. The students were instigated to develop educational games in different topics of energy metabolism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The games were developed to be used in any teaching environment, since they were made with low-cost and accessible materials. This strategy was applied in three semesters in different Biochemistry classes, between 2012 and 2014. The best games in each class were used in following semesters. DISCUSSION AND RESULTS: Since the first semester, the failing rates dropped 15% compared to the previous semester, in which educational games were not used. An increase in learning (by observation) could be noticed, including comprehension of metabolic pathways and their conections. Twenty games were developed in three semesters, and four of them are still being improved and used in other classes. The participant students answered a questionnaire, in which 47% defined the games as “Relaxing and Instigating”, 33% said the games “Accomplished their didactic and educational role” and 54% said they would recommend the use of these games as a reviewing activity. At the moment, another approach is being used to teach Biochemistry – Gamification, which uses elements found in games, as conflict, cooperation, rules and fun, to improve students’ motivation and engagement. CONCLUSION: As a partial result, there was greater in-class interest and engagement, better comprehension of the course content and the activities gave the students the opportunity to work in groups, to think critically about the themes and to develop opinions based on interdisciplinar and formal knowledge.
