This article describes a proposal for the implementation of mental calculation as a strategy for learning mathematical contents in primary education. The mental calculation as an important part in mathematics gives the students an opening to new ways of thinking and gives him the mental agility that helps him to solve problems in a more competitive, quick and easy way. That is why the interest to train the student from an early age to boost the exercise of his mind, proposing strategies that make more efficient teaching-learning process and increase their academic performance in the subject of mathematics. On the other hand, nowadays the profile of the students is valued according to their competences and these must be demonstrated in solving problems of daily life. However, at this moment in history the student is surrounded by information and communication technologies, very effective for the advances that they bring with them, but they generate greater dependence on him, so that now he avoids using more of his reasoning, because most solutions are found by clicking a button.

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) tienen un papel esencial en la sociedad. En consecuencia, en el ámbito educativo, se ha incrementado la presencia de dispositivos tecnológicos y de contenidos orientados al fomento de la competencia digital de los estudiantes. Para alcanzar este propósito, es necesario que el profesorado incorpore, en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, recursos digitales y metodologías que promuevan en el alumnado el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de habilidades digitales. Con este estudio se pretende conocer el uso que hacen de las TIC los maestros tutores de Educación Primaria de colegios públicos de la Región de Murcia.  Así, se analizan, principalmente, cuáles son los recursos digitales y las estrategias metodológicas que suelen emplear en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje estos docentes. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una investigación, de tipo descriptiva y desde la metodología cuantitativa, en la que la recogida de datos se ha realizado a través de un cuestionario elaborado para este estudio, que fue contestado por un total de 133 docentes. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que, aunque se han llegado a introducir metodologías activas, los docentes encuestados no utilizan con frecuencia en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje recursos tecnológicos innovadores ni metodologías emergentes en el uso de las TIC. Information and communication technologies (ICT) play an essential role in society. Consequently, in the educational field, the presence of technological devices and contents aimed at promoting the digital competence of students has increased. To achieve this purpose, it is necessary for teachers to incorporate, in the teaching-learning process, digital resources and methodologies that promote learning and digital skills development in students. The aim of this research is to find out the use of ICT by Primary Education tutors in public schools in the Region of Murcia. Thus, we analyze, mainly, which are the digital resources and the methodological strategies that these teachers usually use in the teaching-learning process. To this end, a descriptive investigation is carried out from the quantitative methodology, in which the collection of data has been carried out through a questionnaire prepared for this study, which was answered by a total of 133 teachers. The results obtained reveal that, although active methodologies have been introduced, the teachers surveyed do not often use innovative technological resources or emerging methodologies in the use of ICT into the teaching-learning process.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are the major driving forces of globalised and knowledge-based societies of a new world era. They will have a profound impact on teaching and learning for two decades to come. The revolutionary change which is taking place in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), has dramatic effects on the way universities carry out their functions of teaching, learning and research, particularly on the creation, dissemination and application of knowledge. These developments pose unprecedented challenges to higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries particular in South Africa as South Africa is viewed as the leading country on the continent.

Purpose This paper aims to propose and evaluate a pedagogically sound and innovative strategy to teach a higher education course that prepares future professionals to intelligently use information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their personal and professional lives. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual framework used for the design of the course was the socio-constructivism and activity theories. The implementation of the course was evaluated using the intrinsic case study methodology by including several instruments. Findings The pedagogical strategy proposed proved to be sound, as the evaluation showed that students were able to describe, use and propose innovative uses of a wide range of cutting-edge technologies in their both everyday lives and professional settings; they also had the skills to analyse the opportunities and challenges that these presented. Moreover, students liked this innovative way of learning and ended with a positive attitude towards ICT. Originality/value Although several courses prepare students to be digital citizens or use ICT to enhance the teaching-learning process, millennials are ill prepared to use cutting-edge technologies in an innovative, responsible and critical way in their future professions. The course that was designed is original in that it goes beyond preparing digital citizens to prepare professionals in any domain to use ICT in an informed and responsible way. Moreover, it is a documented, successful example of an undergraduate universal course in a highly important current society dimension. The authors believe that its pedagogical proposal could be transferred to courses dealing with other global issues such as the environment, economy and peace.

The Impact

The purpose of this research was to study the impact of project-based learning and information and communication technologies on students’ motivation. Two second-year classes in electrical engineering at the University Tahri Mohamed in Béchar, Algeria, were involved in the study. The experiment compared the level to which one class of students mastered goals without the use of information and communication technologies, to the mastery achieved by a second class which participated in a tutorial that has a technological tool built into the project-based approach. The subject of power electronics was chosen for this study because of its different knowledge, which is strongly represented in difficult learning contents for students. A questionnaire about motivation was used to collect data within an experimental research plan. After three months of conducting the study, the results demonstrated that the integration of the tutorial with the project-based approach is likely to increase students’ motivation to learn and to master the subject of power electronics.

Insight Into

This paper is based on reflections after an emotional discussion on the word and term medijs(i) (‘medium’) in Latvian that broke out during the yearly conference The Word: Aspects of Research at Liepāja University, in November 2019. The aim of this paper is not to blame or replace the broadly spread two-word term plašsaziņas līdzekļi with an anglicism mediji. In Latvia, there are many titles and documents where this term has a permanent and stable place. Such as, for example, The National Electronic Mass Media Council. At the same time, it is time to recognise the use of the word medijs(i) as an entirely accepted synonym of plašsaziņas līdzeklis(ļi) and even as a semantically more broadly usable term in the context of developing information and communication technologies. As this short insight into the research of the word shows, the term is already currently used not only among professionals but also on the level of state institutions, public and private organisations, and companies. On the other hand, especially in the contexts of communication science, arts, and philosophy, the spectrum of meanings of the word medijs(i) in the vocabulary of modern Latvian must be broadened.

This chapter evaluated the potentials of selected information and communication technologies in adult education programmes in Nigeria. Infrastructure and funding are among the important issues, but scepticism about the pedagogic value of information and communication technologies and staff development are probably the most challenging. Institutions are grappling with bringing use and funding of e-learning and other computer-based instructional strategies into the mainstream of their organizations, and are beginning to contemplate restructuring to take account of information and communication technologies, in terms of staffing, staff development, course design and student support. Even though studies have captured the imperatives of information and communication technologies in Nigeria's educational system, little is still known about the subject matter in relation to adult education systems in the country. Consequently, this chapter explores and provides the much-needed insight on the subject and the issues that the process raises in the context of adult education in Nigeria.

Teaching Learning

Today, life is more complex and difficult due to uncertainties in society. Liquid life (Bauman, 2006) is frenetic, rapidly changing and highly influenced from information and communication technologies, and forces subjects to adapt to group behavior avoiding exclusion. Human beings are experimenting with the digital age and the pervasiveness of computers and IT/ICT equipment, which are influencing learning and knowledge construction. This raises questions in regard to a privileged role for digital competences in the knowledge society, whether or not there is a framework for digital competence assessment, and possible hints, suggestions, experiments, protocols, or curricula helping teachers in hitting this target with students. This paper answers these questions, describing the evolution of psycho-pedagogical paradigms and their comparisons. A framework for digital competence assessment is proposed and teaching activities are suggested. A proposal of a teaching-learning process called OTS (Open Teaching Process) is also presented.
