<p>O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma reflexão sobre a forma como as tecnologias digitais contribuem para o desenvolvimento das competências para o aluno do século XXI, relacionando-as com a produção de conhecimento na escola, por meio da implementação de uma prática pedagógica, na modalidade de aula invertida. Partindo do pressuposto que os alunos estão enquadrados no conceito de "nativo digital", reflete-se sobre as competências, nos vários domínios, que se espera que o aluno atinja, detenha e alcance, na sala de aula, com recurso a tecnologias digitais e a ferramentas da Web 2.0. Para cumprir esse objetivo e o desafio educativo de uma escola em mudança, serão apresentadas 3 ferramentas aplicadas em sala de aula: uma plataforma educativa de partilha de conteúdo (Edmodo), um jogo (kahoot) e uma plataforma de avaliação de conhecimentos (Socrative).</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>The purpose of this article is to produce a reflection on how digital technologies contribute to the development of skills of the 21st century student, linking them to knowledge production in school, through the implementation of a pedagogical practice in the classroom known as flipped classroom.

To achieve this goal and the educational challenge of an ever changing school, three tools were applied in the classroom: an educational platform for sharing content (Edmodo), a game (Kahoot) and a knowledge evaluation platform (Socrative).</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> 21st century skills; Flipped classroom; Digital technologies; Web 2.0.</p>

This study investigated the use of spoken-reflection instruction to improve the communicative competence level of English as Foreign Language learners in a second language acquisition classroom. A listening and speaking test was administered before and after the study to determine the participants’ level of speaking competence. A quantitative research design was adopted for the study. A 3-credit unit language course was designed and implemented for the study. The course was built on the core principles of reflective practice. Participants were taught using the normal language teaching method and spoken-based reflection instruction. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 65 English as Foreign Language learners who willingly participated in the study. At the end of the course, a questionnaire was used to obtain information from the participants about their perceptions of using spoken-based reflection instruction to improve their speaking skills. In addition, participants were administered a Reflection-Listening, and Speaking Skills Test before and after each experimental phase to determine whether their listening and speaking skills had improved. Most learners found the use of spoken reflections to be a fun way to learn. However, they expressed anxiety about doing teacher-student reflection because they felt intimidated by the presence of their language teacher, although sending recordings of their reflections to their teachers was more convenient than interacting with them on a one-to-one basis.

Factors Influencing

Purpose This research paper aims to explore the technological, individual and community factors influencing the use of popular Web 2.0 tools in library and information science (LIS) education to prepare LIS students for Library 2.0. The study was guided by the activity theory (AT) and technology acceptance model (TAM) of Davis as a lens. The study reveals a set of factors concerning the technical tools, subjective perceptions, goals of online discussion, social presence within a community, rules for participation and roles of the participants that affect their online engagement patterns. Design/methodology/approach This study was performed during the 2015 academic year; it used a descriptive analytical research approach for exploring and analysing technological, individual and community factors influencing the use of the popular Web 2.0 tools in LIS education. Findings The results show that at the technological level of the AT, educators in the sample found the WhatsApp instant messaging and Twitter to be the easiest tools to use, selecting those tools at, respectively, 73.2 per cent (standard deviation = 0.450) and 61.1 per cent (standard deviation = 0.490). WhatsApp and Twitter also lead at the individual level of the AT, as the most valuable platforms for sharing information and knowledge. Video, text and photo objects are the most commonly shared items, used by 90.7, 93.5 and 98.9 per cent, respectively. Originality/value This study may be useful to help information science educators to prepare graduates for the emerging Web 2.0 environments and to prepare students for Library 2.0.
