Integration Of Ict

This article explores some of the key issues associated with the use of information and communications technology in the classroom. It discusses the relevance of an education technology strategy and the implications of such a strategy for both teachers and pupils alike. The integration of ICT into the curriculum is considered by many as the means whereby pupils, and learners in the broader context of education, can enhance their knowledge, skills and understanding. As a way of demonstrating how this might be achieved, a detailed teaching project is presented for the reader's consideration. The project focuses on a topic on ‘Dinosaurs’ which has been developed with pupils aged 10 to 11 years of age. A detailed scheme of work and lesson plans are included, as are teaching notes, for those who wish to carry out the project for themselves. The article concludes with the proposition that ICT has the potential to enhance the quality of teaching and learning within the classroom. Inevitably this will require facing a number of challenges. One such challenge is that of coping with the change that will inevitably result from the new technologies.

ResumoO ensino e aprendizagem da Matemática tem sido alvo de recorrente preocupação por parte de professores e gestores, pois os resultados alcançados pelos estudantes tem se demonstrado pouco satisfatórios no cenário nacional, como um todo, salvo algumas exceções. Na área da educação Matemática, faz-se necessário melhorar a qualidade do ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos e visando contribuir nesse aspecto, desenvolvemos uma pesquisa com o objetivo de explorar o uso de diferentes estratégias de resolução de problemas matemáticos com estudantes da Educação Básica e verificar como estas interferem nesse processo. Iniciamos o trabalho com um estudo bibliográfico sobre as estratégias de resolução de problemas e investigamos quais delas são utilizadas pelos alunos da Educação Básica. Considerando os dados coletados, desenvolvemos uma intervenção pedagógica com alunos de 7ª e 8ª séries do Ensino Fundamental, em que exploramos problemas de livros didáticos, Olimpíadas Matemáticas e outras fontes, incentivando a utilização de estratégias alternativas ao Cálculo formal e compartilhando-as por meio de discussões para validação das mesmas. Ao final deste período, foram propostas uma nova seleção de problemas e a participação em uma entrevista semiestruturada, por meio das quais foram obtidos indícios de eficácia da proposta. Os participantes passaram a utilizar com maior frequência e eficácia estratégias alternativas ao Cálculo formal e manifestaram preferência por estas formas de resolução. Apresentamos, portanto, uma possibilidade para o trabalho com resolução de problemas, capaz de auxiliar os estudantes a obterem êxito no processo, de forma autônoma.Palavras-chave: Estratégias. Resolução. Problemas. Matemática. Aprendizagem.AbstractMathematics teaching and learning have been a permanent concern for teachers and managers since the results that students achieved have not been completely satisfactory nationally. Regarding to Mathematics education improving students’ education quality and learning is essential. As a contribution a survey aiming to explore the use of different strategies for solving mathematical problems with students of Elementary School and how they interfere in the process was carried out. It was initially carried out a bibliographical study about problem resolution strategies followed by the investigation on which strategies were used by Elementary school students. Taking into consideration data collected a pedagogical intervention was developed with 7thand 8th grade students of Elementary school aiming to explore textbook problems, Mathematical Olympics and other sources, encouraging the use of alternative strategies to formal calculation and exchanging them to assure their validation. Finally a new problem selection and the participation in a semi-structured interview were proposed and the indication of an effective proposal was carried out. Participants started to use alternative strategies more frequently and more effectively. Therefore we present the possibility for problem resolution development which may help the students to autonomously succeed in the process.Keywords: Strategies. Resolution. Problems. Mathematics.

The fact that technologies have become a normal part of our lives has meant that bullying and other problems have shifted towards the virtual, hence complicating possible solutions. While before peer harassment occurred mainly at school, today Information and Communications Technology (ICT) means that children now have no place to “hide” from this problem. This and other features, like anonymity, have led many people to believe that this problem is more serious than traditional bullying. The purpose of this research was to determine the incidence of this phenomenon and its impact on students in compulsory secondary education in the Region of Murcia, specifically the prevalence of victimization and differences in relation to gender, age and academic year. One of the main results is that 49.3% of students have suffered from one or more cyberbullying behaviours. Greater victimization of females was observed in fourth of ESO and at higher ages (age ranges: 11-13; 14-15; 16-18). These results show the reality of secondary schools and the need to establish effective measures to solve this problem.

Abstract The era of globalization requires strength of human resources (HR) formidable and qualified to play in the global arena. Teaching and learning scenario need to be prepared carefully in a learning curriculum to improve the quality standards of education, efforts to the implementation of technology, especially information and communications technology (ICT) in the learning system at the school by using the internet in teaching and learning is expected to be able to be implemented more easily, quickly, efficiently, and effectively. By utilizing of ICT teachers can create animations or simulations to help students learn abstract concepts, dynamic, and complex. Students can learn, by identifying, developing, organizing, and using all sorts of learning resources. Madrasah teachers also no longer are used as the only one reference of all knowledge but rather as a facilitator or consultant in the learning process and Results in Madrasah. Keywords: Revitalization, Teachers, ICT, Madrasah Abstrak Era globalisasi mempersyaratkan sebuah kekuatan sumberdaya manusia (SDM) yang tangguh dan mumpuni untuk bermain dalam percaturan global. Skenario mengajar dan belajar perlu disiapkan secara matang dalam sebuah kurikulum pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan standart mutu pendidikan, upaya penerapan teknologi khususnya teknologi informasi komunikasi (ICT) di dalam sistem pembelajaran di madrasah dengan menggunakan internet diharapkan proses belajar mengajar dapat dilaksanakan lebih mudah, cepat, efisien, dan efektif. Dengan memanfaatkan ICT guru bisa membuat animasi atau simulasi untuk memudahkan siswa mempelajari konsep yang abstrak, dinamis, serta kompleks, siswa dapat belajar, dengan cara mengidentifikasi, mengembangkan, mengorganisasi, serta menggunakan segala macam sumber belajar. Guru madrasah juga tidak lagi dijadikan satu­ satunya rujukan semua pengetahuan tetapi lebih sebagai fasilitator atau konsultan dalam proses dan hasil pembelajaran di madrasah.   Kata Kunci: Revitalisasi, Guru, ICT, Madrasah

Increased motivation amongst pupils has been readily observed in schools when they are allowed to use computers and other forms of information and communications technology (ICT) (Cox, 1997; Denning, 1997; Wishart & Blease, 1999). In fact, Denning (1997) reports almost universal enthusiasm amongst students for the use of ICT to support their work in schools. That enthusiasm has been seen to double or triple amongst primary school students given a personal digital assistant (PDA) of their own (Whyley, 2006). These handheld devices are small computers that can be used both off- and online via wireless or mobile phone signals. Many psychologists (Light, 1997; Loftus & Loftus, 1983) have used behaviorist theories originating from the work of Thorndike (1898) to describe positive extrinsic reinforcements generated by or associated with the use of computer software. For instance, children find the use of a computer rewarding; they get nearly immediate feedback from the programs on their efforts, which often includes entertaining sound effects, graphics and animations. Therefore, they are more likely to take up opportunities to use ICT in and outside of lessons. What is more, as described by Loftus and Loftus (1983), these rewards arrive in the variable ratio schedule of reinforcement which Skinner (1938) believes is the most compelling.

Information and communications technology has radically transformed many aspects of modern life. However, this is in marked contrast to its impact on education. The purpose of this chapter is to explore why educational technology has done little to transform our higher education system. This is in spite of the emergence of the formal role of educational technologist, the improved ICT infrastructure and the evolving recognition of the importance of teaching and learning within the sector. Yet it is also apparent that within a given academic community there are many individually motivated innovators, i.e. those characterised by their willingness to experiment with new approaches and embrace change. Whilst there are also many who resist and avoid any possible alterations (or interference) in how they teach their subject matter.This chapter will argue that Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and field could provide a suitable lens to investigate why this apparent dichotomy has developed. This will involve a review of what we mean by educational technology; a broad look at the characteristics of innovators in other domains and to consider how applicable their experiences are to education. Finally, I will propose that rather than identifying and classifying shared characteristics of innovators it would be more valuable to examine and capture the innovative educator’s habitus.

Enhanced Learning

Over the past decades, there has been an intensive drive to implement information and communications technology (ICT) in diverse contexts. In education, ICT has produced significant benefits to research, teaching and learning. Enhanced learning outcomes and effective teaching practices, for example, are reported as positive impacts of ICT integration, particularly in higher educational contexts. However, in order to examine how ICT influences tertiary teaching and learning, it is important to look at the main stakeholders’ perspective. This chapter reports a case study about the perceptions of ICT among university lecturers and students on key aspects of ICT in an Australian university context. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The major findings revealed that there were wide variations in respondents’ perceptions of ICT’s impact, which may partly affect the effectiveness of ICT implementation in this context.
