The impact of Web 2.0 and social networking tools such as virtual communities, on education has been much commented on. The challenge for teachers is to embrace these new social networking tools and apply them to new educational contexts. The increasingly digitally-abled student cohorts and the need for educational applications of Web 2.0 are challenges that overwhelm many educators. This chapter will make three important contributions. Firstly it will explore the characteristics and behaviours of digitally-abled students enrolled in higher education. An innovation of this chapter will be the application of Bourdieu’s notions of capital, particularly social, cultural and digital capital to understand these characteristics. Secondly, it will present a possible use of a commonly used virtual community, Facebook©. Finally it will offer some advice for educators who are interested in using popular social networking communities, similar to Facebook©, in their teaching and learning.

Who being a Hybrid Learning teacher in the Web 2.0 era has not made him/herself ask this question: “Are students working effectively while they are not in face to face class?” Sometimes the questions are asked but he/she does not have the knowledge to create an Interaction Assessment Strategy that could provide this information. The authors present in this chapter a Model that provides the steps and data that should result in a much better teaching/learning process. Thus, the Model presents the questions that should be made, the data model that should be worked on, the visualizations that should better fit each type of data and the process of analysis teachers could make to improve different features, such as: the way of presenting information to the students through the year, prevent students’ dropping outs and failures, and generally improve the pace of teaching.

This research was a quasi experiment research. The population of the research was all of students of SMP Diponegoro Depok Sleman grade VIII in the academic year of 2013/2014. The sample consisted of the experiment group that the teaching-learning process used experiment method and the control group that the teaching-learning process used demonstration method. A pretest and posttest were used to collect the data of the learning achievement, while the process skill was taken from the prior ability and the final ability which were the result of observation on the LKS (Students Worksheet). To obtain the effectiveness of the experiment method on each variable, the data were analyzed with one sample t-test. Then, to find the difference between the effectiveness of the experiment and demonstration method on all variables used multivariate technique with T2 Hotelling and followed by univariate analysis with independent sample t test. The results of the research showed that (1) the teaching-learning process of science using the experiment method was effective in terms of process skills and science learning achievement of the students, and (2) the teaching-learning process of science using experiment method was more effective in improving the process skills and science learning achievement than that using the demonstration method. Keywords: Effectiveness, experiment method, science process skills, science learning achievement

Resumo: O Cerrado é reconhecido como a savana mais rica do mundo em biodiversidade, assim o seu estudo no ensino se reveste de grande importância no sentido de fortalecer a formação dos alunos para conhecer e praticar a preservação ambiental deste bioma. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o processo de aprendizagem sobre o bioma cerrado pela interação dos alunos em uma aula diferenciada, utilizando os cinco sentidos (tato, olfato, paladar, audição e visão). O método fundamenta-se fato de tentar reaproximar as pessoas da natureza temporariamente, despertando para o uso dos sentidos na exploração de “trilhas sensitivas”. Os resultados demonstraram que o uso da trilha sensitiva mostrou-se satisfatório no aumento do interesse dos alunos e no desenvolvimento do aprendizado sobre o cerrado. Abstract The Brazilian’s Cerrado is recognized as the richest in biodiversity savanna in the world, with the presence of several ecosystems. Therefore, their study in education has great importance in strengthening the training of students to learn and practice environmental conservation of this biome. The objective of this study was to assess the process of learning about the cerrado by the interaction of students in a differentiated class, using the five senses (touch, smell, taste, hearing and vision). The methodology is based on the fact of trying to reconnecting people of temporary nature without the use of vision, awakening to the use of other senses in the exploration of "sensory trails." The results demonstrated that the use of sensory trail was satisfactory in increasing student interest and learning about the development of the cerrado. Key words: Environmental education. Sensory trail. Science. Teaching-learning process.

The purpose of this study was to investigate students’ perceptions of the available e-learning system and adopting social media networking platforms as university main platform or college e-learning. It also explored the effective use of social networking tools. The study was conducted in five (5) State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) including their satellite campuses in CARAGA Region. The respondents were chosen through random sampling. Frequency, percentage, and average were used to interpret some socio-demographic data of the respondents. The result reveals that the respondents agree in all the enumerated guiding principles in education. Such principles have no effect on students’ perception both towards current e-learning system and in the required skills in effective social networking. The result of the study reveals that students’ satisfaction with the use of social media networking tools as an educational platform is in a moderately positive level. The study also shows that female students are more skillful and interested than males regarding the utilization of social networking tools. This research concludes that students preferred social networking as an educational platform compared to other e-learning system.

The use of social networks is a growing phenomenon, being increasingly important in both private and academic life. Social networks are used as tools to enable users to have social interaction. The use of social networks (SNs) complements and enhances the teaching in traditional classrooms. For example, YouTube, Facebook, wikis, and blogs provide a huge amount of material on a wide range of subjects. This research aims to explore the need to change the traditional style of teaching and learning after the innovation of Web 2.0. The main objectives of this research are to discover the motives for the use of social networks by higher education students in Oman, to recognize the impact of social networking tools in learning and education generally, to analyse the problems that students might face when using social networks, and to determine whether the traditional learning methods need to be changed in the era of Web 2.0 technologies? In order to achieve the objectives of this research, the research methodology is to conduct a survey amongst Omani students at different universities, colleges, and other higher education institutions and to explore the social networking tools that might have an influence on teaching and learning styles. The type of data collected will be both quantitative and qualitative. This study is based mainly on the student's perspective - the impact on students of using social networking tools and what effect it has on the traditional style of learning and teaching. This study highlights the benefits of using social networks as tools for developing a new style of learning, and the negative impacts that can affect the process of learning, in order to provide a justification for using social networks in higher education.

Teachers understanding on the nature of science will determine types of students learning activities in the class. In designing a science teaching-learning process meaningfully, a teacher should consider and pay attention to the learning activities. They are (1) logical plane activities; (2) evidental or experiental plane activities; (3) psychological plane activities. A science text-books centered teaching should be modified because, the students comprehension about science products (concept and principles) could not be developed meaningfully by using text-books only. This culture is also contrary with the nature of science and is not able to build a science and technology literate people.Key words: Teachers understanding; learning activities
