This study describes a research focused on primary teachers’ evaluation of their students’ digital literacy as a basic competence in the structure of natural science literacy of research and comprehension competence. With the term, primary teachers we mean teachers of first three grades of compulsory school. The comparison of basic computer skills between Generation Z and Generation Alpha revealed, contrary to expectations, a very small progress. The consequence of this circumstance are the problems associated with the implementation of natural science curricular goals in digital environments of remote teaching in school closure period. A questionnaire given to 176 primary teachers, revealed which digital learning environments could be chosen for science lessons and which curricular goals could/could not be achieved with this level of Generation Alpha students’ digital literacy competence. The results showed that the digital environment is more problematic and unfavorable for Generation Alpha in the field of natural science, as teachers showed a higher frequency of avoiding natural science goals than social science content. Keywords: distance learning environment, generation Alpha, natural science digital literacy competence, natural science education

RESUMO:Neste artigo, relata-se uma investigação inicial que pretendeu qualificar a elaboração e a facilidade de uso de recursos didáticos para Educação a Distância (EAD) na área de Letras/Língua Portuguesa e Leitura. Apresentam-se o planejamento do recurso, a seleção de materiais e as noções teóricas envolvidas e o desenho inicial da atividade, que consistiu em ler e avaliar a complexidade de um conjunto de textos curtos. A experiência revelou sucesso apenas para um pequeno grupo controlado de alunos e insucesso em grande grupo, sem controle. Para a melhoria do recurso criado e da sua implementação didática, indica-se a necessidade de realização de atividades prévias presenciais de estudo com os grupos envolvidos e de avaliação de resultados com os alunos respondentes após a tarefa realizada.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: ambientes digitais; complexidade textual; recursos de EAD; vocabulário. ABSTRACT: In this paper, we describe an initial investigation that intended to qualify the elaboration and usability of didactic resources for Distance Learning (DL) in the field of Languages/Portuguese Language and Reading. We present the planning of the resource, the selection of materials and the theoretical notions involved, and the initial design of the activity, which consisted in reading and evaluating the complexity of a set of short texts. The experience was successful only for a small controlled group of students and unsuccessful for the large uncontrolled group. In order to improve the devised resource and implement it didactically, there is the need to perform previous presential learning activities with the involved groups and proceed with the student’s evaluation of the results after the task is accomplished.KEYWORDS: digital environments; textual complexity; distance learning resources; vocabulary.

Digital literacy indisputably plays a momentous role in our future lives (Allen, 2007). This chapter considers technology integration at various levels of school, ranging from primary to tertiary levels. It further shows results of a practical quasi experimental study done in Kenyan secondary schools showing how scores of students learning mathematics in a technology-based environment compared with those learning using conventional methods of teaching. The students' scores in examinations showed that the students learning using the selected application known as GeoGebra performed better and girls performed equally as well as boys when taught mathematics in a technology environment. The chapter underscores the importance of technology to improve teaching and learning process and it has promise to bridge the gap in performance between boys and girls in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

AbstractThis chapter demonstrates the potential to challenge power relations, and reconsider teaching practices and conceptions of learning bodies. How do bodies in a digital learning setting perform are read and observed? How they can be included in learning settings? Since teaching and learning increasingly take part in digital learning environments, especially since the outbreak of the COVID-19 global pandemic, digital art teaching needs rethinking toward the knowledge of learning bodies and of the perception of learning in the digital realm: a digital corpoliteracy.

Human Digestive System

The limited relevant learning resources and the lack of development on natural science content on the topic of the animals and human digestive system were the reasons for this research. This research aimed at developing Pop-Up book media on the topic of animal and human digestive system in which the validity had been tested. This research was developmental research by using some steps, such as analyze, design, development, implementation, and evaluation models. However, the implementation steps and the evaluation steps were not conducted due to time limitations. The data collection method used in this research was a questionnaire method. The subject of this research was a learning media in the form of a Pop-Up book on the topic of animal and human digestive system on the fifth-grade elementary school students and the object of this research was the validity on learning media for Pop-Up book media. The instrument used in this developmental research was the rating scale. From the results of the assessment by four experts, an average score of 4.79 was obtained into very good qualification. Based on the results of the assessment, it could be concluded that the Pop-Up book media on the topic of animal and human digestive system was valid with a very good qualification. The existence of a Pop-Up book media was useful to assist the teachers’ tasks in implementing learning specifically in developing natural science materials on the topic of animal and human digestive system.
