Pervasive Learning

In 21st century the technological innovation has reshaped our educational system. Different educational methods and environments are used to facilitate students and teachers. Educational makerspaces are also one of them. This new trend has shifted educational system to student centered instead of teacher centered. Pervasive Learning (P-Learning) environment for educational makerspaces is one of the emerging environments for teaching and learning due to price reduction in handheld devices’, facility for sharing the technological resources, support, and smartness of smartphone technology. Educational Makerspaces environment provide the facility to teachers and learners to create a virtual environment fully equipped with latest ICT tools to share ideas, to perform experiments and collaborate with each other whenever and wherever they are. Thus, P-learning for educational makerspaces can access and share the resources for teaching and learning material beyond the boundaries of the traditional classroom arrangement. This paper presents the idea of P-learning environment for educational makerspaces which is not limited to a single geographic location or mobile or location-based technologies; rather, it accesses, shares the resources, and facilitates teaching and learning from anywhere and at any time with any handheld device means 24*7*12. The purpose of this paper is to propose a fully equipped makerspace classroom so that the students from remote areas or who cannot afford laboratory expenses can access virtually labs, share their ideas, collaborate with each other, and perform experiments

Pros And Cons

Effective implementation of virtual learning has been a challenge encountered by many teachers. This paper investigates the experiences of twenty (20) grade seven students from a university exposed to virtual learning using the flipped classroom model in Mathematics. The informants were chosen from eight learning groups (LG) enrolled in online learning from 2020-2021. The study employed a case study design and used the Clarke and Braun thematic analysis (TA) approach to interpret the qualitative data. It used individual interviews, focused group discussions (FGD), and interviews with parents and teachers to collect relevant information. Google Meet was used to gather the data needed. This study aims to address the challenges encountered by the implementation of virtual classes during the pandemic. It also seeks to explore the pros and cons of putting the flipped classroom approach into practice in a virtual learning environment. The findings revealed that the flipped classroom approach could be an effective strategy in enhancing students’ positive attributes toward learning and socialization in an online learning environment. Also, the teacher could transform the teaching and learning process into a more student-centered classroom in which assessment could be carried out effectively. For future purposes, researchers could address the cons of this study by integrating anecdotal records and performance trackers into the new flipped classroom model developed.

This chapter expands the knowledge about virtual learning in smart higher education, and how these processes can be a tool for motivated and student-centered learning in a resource-enriched virtual learning environment with technology-embedded tools. Methodologically, selected articles are reviewed to expand the knowledge about virtual learning in smart higher education and with an example analysis of an open question (N=57) among teacher educators (N=105) about what kind of education they need for using a virtual learning environment with different tools. Theoretically, the analysis of the answers is based on the TPACK model and Gees five learning principles. The findings highlight that higher education and academic researchers have much to learn about teaching and learning in a virtual learning environment and in virtual reality that can enhance student-centered learning and reveal the pedagogical surplus value in their own teaching and learning context through the use of technology for an educational purpose.

The Impact

Digital Storytelling is one of the new pedagogical tools that call upon students’ creativity and helps them to “learn by doing”. It is one of the important steps towards creating the 21st-century learning environment as it promotes the integration of student-centred and technology-enriched learning environment for learners. Despite the many benefits that this learning tool has to offer, many educators are still reluctant to integrate this kind of technology in their classes which resulted in low implementation of this technology among the educators.  Therefore, this study is intended to determine pre-service teachers’ experience and perceptions of digital storytelling for 21st-century skills in a learning environment. A set of questionnaire was distributed to 150 trainee teachers from the Faculty of Education in one of the public universities in Malaysia. The result of this study reveals that pre-service teachers’ have moderately experienced the use of digital storytelling in their learning (M=2.98; SD=1.332). The finding also showed that the pre-service teachers responded positively towards the use of digital storytelling in the classroom (M=3.94; SD=0.713). The correlation analysis further showed that the pre-service teachers’ experience with digital storytelling has significantly given the impact on their perception towards the implementation of this tool in the teaching and learning process. Considering the many advantages of the digital storytelling towards the enhancement of 21st-century skills among the younger generations, therefore more aggressive steps need to be done to strengthen the teaching preparation programme in higher educational institutions. This is very important to ensure that the future teachers produced are well-equipped with all the teaching skills and technologies to educate the next millennial generations.

It is argued that the digital technology has made possible the vast range of applications and media forms including virtual reality, digital special effects, digital film, digital television, electronic music, computer games, multimedia, the Internet, the World Wide Web, digital telephony and so on [8]. Digital transformation has been particularly influential in new directions of society.Providing schools with digital technology promises a high return on investment. The presence of computers and Internet access raises technology literacy and skills, better preparing the future generations to participate in the information society [12]. To this end, schools represent ideal access points because they cover a large part of the population, especially in developing countries. Starting from 1990s, many educators have been realised the potential of Internet for educational purposes and began to introduce it into classrooms. According to [10] the popularity of web-based teaching and learning lies in the strengths of its distributed nature and the case of its browsing facility. Both the use of digital technology and increased interest in student-centered learning may lead to a significant change of the teacher’s role, as well as the recognition of the active role of the learner in the learning process.
