Technology can capture young children’s attention, motivate them, and help them construct early mathematics concepts in meaningful ways. This chapter examines the nature of children’s mathematics learning and how technology can support learning on three levels: (a) a teacher information resource; (b) teaching support; and (c) the learning process for children. It provides a description of how technology tools, when connected to sound inquiry-based pedagogy and formative assessment, can facilitate learning in today’s increasingly technological world. Considerations for future research as well as a list of relevant, practical resources for teachers to experiment with in their own classrooms are included.

This research aims to develop e-book teaching materials, analyze the feasibility level of e-books and analyze student responses to e-books. The subjects in this study are financial accounting on the basic competence of accounts receivable accounting. Teaching materials in the form of e-books were developed according to the implementation of the 2013 curriculum based on a scientific approach. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with a 4-D model. The validators in the study were 3 lecturers according to the intended field and one teacher who was an expert in financial accounting subjects. The assessment data distributed to the validator comes from the review sheet and then the validation sheet. A total of 20 students of class XI Financial and Institutional Accounting at SMK Yapalis Krian were also one of the respondents. This is to determine the feasibility of teaching materials so that they are suitable for use in the learning process. The product developed produces a very feasible interpretation with an average feasibility recapitulation of 89.49%. From these results, there are several components listed with very feasible interpretations, namely the feasibility of the material 89.89%, the feasibility of language 86.67% and the feasibility of graphics 91.93%. For the average results, students stated that the interpretation was very well understood with a percentage of 88.12%. So this teaching material is suitable for use in the learning process

This article looks into the specifics of teaching in these challenging times, particularly after the outbreak of the Covid pandemics early in 2020 and the lockdown that followed, which forced the general migration of teaching into online. Teaching with the use of technology, already in high demand worldwide, has soared during this period, having its detractors as well as its committed followers. The article looks into recent research on how technology impacts the learning process and how this might develop in the future, influencing teachers, students, campus-based teaching and education in general in the following years. There are obviously minuses and pluses to online teaching and learning; this article will discuss some of them, with practical examples and information from the particular context of higher education teaching in Romania.

Hintergrund: Mit der Einführung der DRG-basierten Finanzierung erhalten Spitäler einen kleineren finanziellen Spielraum, was Prozessoptimierungen notwendig macht. Internationale Erfahrungen zeigen, dass solche Restrukturierungen Einfluss auf für die Pflege notwendige Kontextfaktoren haben können. Dadurch können auch Pflegequalität und Patientensicherheit beeinträchtigt werden. Ziel: Ziel der «DRG Begleitforschung Pflege» ist, ein Monitoringmodell samt dazugehörenden Instrumenten zur kontinuierlichen Überwachung des Einflusses der DRG-Finanzierung auf zentrale Pflegekontextfaktoren zu entwickeln. Methode: Die vorliegenden deskriptiven quantitativen Resultate wurden im Rahmen der in einem Mixed-Methods-Design durchgeführten Untersuchung mittels einer Online-Befragung erhoben, an der sich Pflegefachpersonen aus fünf Spitälern beteiligten. Ergebnisse: Die Resultate zeigen, dass die untersuchten Pflegekontextfaktoren «Komplexität der Pflege», «Arbeitsumgebungsqualität», «Führungsverhalten», «Moralischer Stress» und «Zufriedenheit mit der Arbeitsstelle» in allen Fachbereichen hinsichtlich der Arbeitsumgebung und Leistungserbringung der Pflege relevant sind. Es lassen sich Muster erkennen, die im Einklang mit der Literatur stehen, und die Hinweise auf die im Modell angenommenen Beziehungen zwischen diesen Kontextfaktoren geben. Schlussfolgerungen: Die Studie hat einerseits für die beteiligten Betriebe nützliche Daten geliefert, auf deren Basis sie Maßnahmen zur Sicherung der Qualität und Entwicklung der Pflege diskutieren können, andererseits konnten wichtige Informationen zur Weiterentwicklung des Modells und zu den eingesetzten Instrumenten gesammelt werden.

Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Im klinischen Alltag stellt die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit zwischen Pflegefachpersonen und Ärzt(inn)en immer wieder eine Herausforderung dar. Quantitative oder qualitative Studien haben das Ziel, Erkenntnisse zu einer verbesserten Zusammenarbeit aufzuzeigen. Diese Erkenntnisse sind jedoch aus methodischen Gründen oft begrenzt. Ziel: Mittels Triangulation quantitativer und qualitativer Daten beschreibt diese Studie die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit aus Sicht der Pflegefachpersonen. Methode: Die Datenerhebung erfolgte in einem Mixed Methods-Design im Rahmen der interprofessionellen Sinergia DRG-Begleitforschung. Zunächst erfolgte eine separate Analyse der quantitativen und qualitativen Daten. Durch die Triangulation entstand in vier Schritten eine „Meta-Matrix“. Ergebnisse: Die „Meta-Matrix“ bildet alle relevanten quantitativen und qualitativen Ergebnisse sowie ihre Zusammenhänge modellähnlich auf einer Seite ab. Die Relevanz, die Einflussfaktoren sowie die Folgen der interprofessionellen Zusammenarbeit für Mitarbeitende, Patient(inn)en, Angehörige und Systeme werden deutlich. Schlussfolgerung: Die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit aus Sicht der Pflegefachpersonen in fünf Spitälern wird erstmals umfassend in einer „Meta-Matrix“ aufgezeigt. Die Folgen ungenügender Zusammenarbeit zwischen Pflegefachpersonen und Ärzt(inn)en sind beträchtlich, weshalb in interprofessionelle Konzepte investiert werden muss. Aus der „Meta-Matrix“ ist ersichtlich, welche Faktoren für die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit hinderlich bzw. förderlich sind.

Progress in information technology that is so fast is expected to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. In the world of information technology education can help and support the learning process. Especially now all the learning process activities can be done online. Progress in information technology must also be supported by quality human resources. In this case the teacher is very instrumental in the utilization of information technology in the world of education. Because the teacher is one of the education supervisors who will encourage the advancement of the quality of education in Indonesia. But in reality the quality of teachers in Indonesia is inadequate. There are still many teachers who cannot use information technology in learning especially for teachers who are senior or old. As teacher supervisors, they must improve the quality of their performance in using technology. To improve the ability of teachers to use technology, ongoing training is needed to use technology. The role of the head of the school as a supervisor is also needed, namely the principal is obliged to supervise, control, and approach the teacher in terms of the use of technology in the learning process.
