<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-GB">Teaching in higher education in the 21st century can be a demanding and complex role and academic educators around the globe are dealing with questions related to change. This paper describes a new type of a professional development program for teaching faculty, using a pedagogical model based on the principles of authentic e-learning. The program was developed with the help of an iterative educational design research process and rapid prototyping based on on-going research and redesign. This paper describes how the findings of the evaluations guided the design process and how the impact of the measures taken was in turn researched, in order to eventually identify and refine design principles for an authentic e-learning program for international teaching faculty professional development.</span></p>

Cultivating children’s creativity and imagination is fundamental to preparing them for an increasingly complex and uncertain future. Engaging in creative learning enables children to think independently and critically, work cooperatively, and take risks while actively engaging in problem solving. While current trends in education, such as maker movements and computer science education, are dramatically expanding children’s opportunities for engagement in creative learning, comparatively few empirical studies explore how creative learning can be integrated into the school curriculum. The educational design research described in this paper focuses on a curriculum unit that enables students to engage with creative learning through computer programming activities while meeting curriculum goals. The data provided in this paper were drawn from three classroom tryouts, the results of which were used to drive an iterative design process. This paper also shares several insights on the impact of creative learning in curriculum teaching.

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää erityisopettajiksi opiskelevien verkkopalvelujen käyttöä opiskelujen ja työn tukena sekä heidän näkemyksiään ThinkMath-verkkopalvelusta ja sen kehittämistarpeista. Tutkimus on osa Matematiikan maailmaan –matematiikan opettajankoulutuksen kehittämishanketta. Kehittämistutkimuksen tässä osassa selvitettiin opiskelijoiden kokemuksia verkkomateriaalien käytöstä, erityisesti ThinkMath-verkkopalvelusta. Tutkimuksen osallistujat olivat Matemaattiset oppimisvaikeudet -kurssin opiskelijoita (N = 66). Opiskelijat tutustuivat yhdellä kurssin harjoituskerralla ThinkMath-harjoitusmateriaaleihin. Tietoa kerättiin kyselylomakkeilla kurssin alkaessa ja päättyessä. Tuloksissa käytetään kuvailevia tunnuslukuja sekä ristiintaulukointia. Tulosten perusteella erityisopettajaopiskelijat suhtautuvat verkkomateriaalien käyttöön varsin positiivisesti eikä eroja ollut eri ikä- tai työkokemusryhmien välillä. ThinkMath –verkkopalvelu tunnettiin ennalta varsin heikosti. Kurssin päättyessä opiskelijat kokivat sivuston antavan varsin hyvin tietoa matemaattisten taitojen kehityksestä. Heikoimmin sivuston koettiin antavan tietoa matemaattisten oppimisvaikeuksien arvioinnista ja taustatekijöistä. Verkkopalvelun käytettävyydessä kehitettävää ilmeni erityisesti tiedon löytämisen helpottamisessa. Tutkimus antaa tietoa paitsi tämän verkkopalvelun kehittämiseen myös yleensä opettajille suunnatun verkkomateriaalin suunnitteluun.   Special education teacher students as users of online materials. Survey to develop ThinkMath web services Abstract The aim of this study was to find out how special educational needs teacher students use online materials in their studies. In addition, we asked how much they have used online materials in their teacher work before their studies. We were also interested in their specific expectations for the development of ThinkMath -web services. The research is part of the Teacher Training Project 'Matematiikan maailmaan' ('Math World'), which is funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture.  In our project, we follow educational design research (EDR) principles with several data collection and development cycles. In this paper, we report the results from the first EDR cycle, in which we explored students' experiences with the use of online materials, especially the ThinkMath web service. The participants of the study were students in the Mathematical Learning Difficulty course (N = 66). Students were introduced to ThinkMath online materials as a part of this course. The data was collected by questionnaires at the beginning and at the end of the course. The results use descriptive indicators and cross-tabulation.  On the basis of the results, special educational needs teacher students are quite positive about the use of online materials. There were no differences between age or work experience groups. The ThinkMath web service was known poorly in advance. At the end of the course, the students felt that the ThinkMath web service provided quite good information on the development of mathematical skills. Students suggested adding more information about background factors of mathematical learning difficulties, and ways of evaluating mathematical learning. Students also felt that search-functions in the ThinkMath web service needed to be better.  Our study showed the benefit of involving users to the developmental work of online materials, for example, ThinkMath web services. Keywords: online materials, special educational needs teacher students, educational design research, ThinkMath, web services

Teaching materials are said to be practical if the practitioners or the experts state that the developed teaching materials can be applied in the research. The purpose of this research is to reveal the practicality of redox e-modules and GDL-based electrochemical cells for XII grade of high school students. This research is a continuation of educational design research with the Plomp development model at the prototyping stage, this research was conducted at SMAN 1 Lintau Buo Utara. The data were analyzed with the Aiken V formula. The results of one-to-one evaluation showed that the e-module uses clear fonts, covers and attractive designs, the language used is easy to understand, the presentation of coherent material, videos and animations can help students to understand the material. The results of the analysis on the average Aiken V formula obtained a V value of 0.88 at the small group stage and 0.86 at the high category field test stage. This data is evidenced by the ability of students to answer questions on the e-module by 90.5 percent with a very high category. Based on the data analysis, it is concluded that the e-module redox and electrochemical cells based on GDL are practically used in the learning process with a high practicality category.
