We are moving toward a future in which computing is becoming more ubiquitous and there is evidence that technology is changing the way instructors conduct their instruction. Even so, few instructors are integrating technology into their instruction in ways that can support meaningful learning. Those who are usually successful in teaching with technology are those who constantly strive to facilitate student-centered learning environments that support and improve the depth and scope of student learning (Cuban 2001; Ertmer, 1999). Further, they are likely to have experienced shifts in their learning paradigms and embraced constructivist teaching styles. This chapter explores the relationship between constructivism, technology, and meaningful learning and provides suggestions to help instructors translate constructivist methodologies into their own realities in teaching. In other words, this chapter seeks to explore constructivist teaching strategies that could benefit student learning in ways that are different from those practiced in traditional, non-technological classrooms.

<p>La identidad del profesorado universitario y sus creencias acerca de la profesión se perfilan en el desempeño de dos de sus funciones principales: investigación y docencia. El desajuste que existe entre ellas y el predominio de la investigación sobre la docencia, motiva que el avance hacia nuevas concepciones de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje sea lento y complejo. Existen numerosas investigaciones, a lo largo de las dos últimas décadas, que muestran la existencia de diferencias en las creencias que tiene el profesorado universitario sobre la enseñanza, las estrategias docentes que desarrollan y las formas de entender el aprendizaje. Así pues, encontramos dos orientaciones básicas hacia la docencia: una centrada en el profesor y basada en estrategias de enseñanza tradicional; y otra centrada en el estudiante y apoyada en estrategias de enseñanza constructivista. Como se argumenta a lo largo del artículo, modificar las concepciones y estilos docentes del profesorado universitario hacia un modelo de enseñanza y aprendizaje orientado al estudiante no es tarea sencilla, y requiere un replanteamiento de los sistemas de formación y evaluación, así como nuevos dispositivos y contextos que posibiliten integrar docencia e investigación.</p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>Academic identity of university teachers and their beliefs about professional practice are outlined in the performance of two of its main functions: research and teaching. The imbalance between them and the prevalence of research on teaching, motivating the move towards new conceptions of teaching and learning is slow and complex. Here are many research, over the past two decades, showing the existence of differences in belief held by undergraduate faculty about teaching, teaching strategies and developing ways of understanding learning. Thus, there are two basic orientations toward teaching: a teacher-centered, based on traditional teaching strategies; and other, student-centered, which uses constructivist teaching strategies. As argued throughout the article, modify the conceptions and teaching styles of university teachers towards a model of teaching and learning oriented student is not an easy job, and requires a rethinking of systems training and assessment, as well as new devices and contexts that facilitate integrating teaching and research.</p>

This study aims to identify and analyze: 1) the perception of students about the style of teaching faculty to student learning motivation Economic Education STKIP PGRI West Sumatra. 2) To determine the motivation of learning facilities for students studying economics education courses STKIP PGRI West Sumatra 3) To Know students' perceptions on faculty teaching styles and learning facilities jointly influence on student learning motivation STKIP PGRI West Sumatra. This study was conducted In economics education courses STKIP PGRI West Sumatra In force 2012. The population in this study as many as 270 people, while the sample in this study as many as 161 people. Results of the study found that: 1) The perception of students about the style of teaching faculty partial effect on learning motivation students education courses economy STKIP PGRI West Sumatra with a coefficient of 0.027 2) Learning Facilities berpengararuh partially on motivation to learn Students STKIP PGRI West Sumatra, with the coefficient of 0.042 3) The perception of students on faculty teaching styles and learning facilities simultaneous effect on student learning motivation STKIP PGRI West Sumatra calculated F value of 1.006. From the results of this study are expected to pay more attention to the style of teaching faculty in the process of learning so that the learning process takes place better interaction with the students so as to increase the motivation of students in the learning process, and the campus can improve campus facilities in supporting the learning process.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on education at all levels and types, and the education system, including colleges and universities, has been forced to respond by a sudden shift to online teaching. Successful online teaching requires careful thinking, planning, and technical and human support from teachers. Based on the reflection on the offline classroom teaching of theoretical mechanics for many years and the online teaching practice of first half of 2020, the author summarizes effective strategies for implementing online teaching of theoretical mechanics. We prepared the theoretical mechanical lessons through a &ldquo;student-centered&rdquo; approach, such as preparing teaching materials, students and teaching methods. These teaching strategies include (i) Adopting live-stream teaching as the main teaching method, (ii) Applying electronic blackboard to online deductions, (iii) Linking theory to practice for better understanding of knowledge, (iv) Integrating curriculum content in ideological and moral education, (v) Conducting formative assessment to supervise and motivate online learning. The implementation of these online teaching strategies has effectively promoted the development of students&#39; independent learning ability.

Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the diversity of teaching strategies in biological education and expected results on acquisition of knowledge and fulfillment of learning outcomes in an attempt to identify which strategies work best with biology students. Methods: Three databases and search engines were used: Scopus, Google Scholars and Web of Science. Results: The teaching of biological sciences is experiencing evident transformations towards student-centered learning. As educational goals are being modernized in biology at present times. The more computer modelling, simulations and problem-based learning become part of the teaching strategy, the teaching of biology becomes more learner-centered to enhance learners’ critical thinking on complex biological processes.

This chapter describes pedagogical practices and teaching strategies with instructional technology used in an online summer course with preservice K-12 teachers. The course provided preservice teachers (PSTs) with experiences in using technology in K-12 classrooms from both students' and teachers' perspectives, engaged PSTs in active explorations of various K-12 curriculum topics using technology that could enhance high-impact teaching strategies, and supported PSTs in development of virtual lessons using instructional technology. The study identified effective practices with instructional technology to support preservice teachers' development of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) for their own online teaching. Study findings suggest that online immersive experience created a virtual student-centered space to nurture collaborative inquiry and that contributed to the growth of PST's TPACK. However, this experience also brought challenges and concerns for sustaining and transforming teaching and learning with instructional technology to an online environment.
