Digital Protection

The mediated use of technology fosters learning from early childhood and is a potential resource for inclusive education. Nevertheless, the huge range of options and exposure to interactive digital content, which is often online, also implies a series of risks. The definition of protection underlying the current strategies to protect children is inadequate as it only extends to reducing children's exposure to harmful content. This study proposes the expansion of this definition. Through systematic observation of 200 apps within the Catalan sphere for children under 8 years of age and principal component analysis, the results support a multidimensional conceptualisation of protection which, instead of being restricted to the potential risks, also considers aspects related to the educational and inclusive potential of digital resources. Five factors are suggested in order to select these resources and contribute to the digital competence of teachers and students. The first factor concerns the use of protection mechanisms and the existence of external interference, the second factor indicates the presence of adaptation tools; the exposure to stereotypes corresponds to the third factor and the last two consider the previous knowledge required and the verbal component of the apps. Finally, the scope of the suggested definition and its limitations as a guide for future analysis will be discussed. El uso mediado de la tecnología fomenta el aprendizaje desde la infancia y representa un potencial recurso para la educación inclusiva. Al mismo tiempo, la creciente exposición a contenidos digitales interactivos, a menudo conectados a la red, conlleva una serie de riesgos para los niños. A las estrategias actualmente empleadas para protegerlos, que se limitan a reducir su exposición a contenidos perjudiciales, parece subyacer una definición de protección inadecuada. Esta investigación propone que se amplíe esta definición. A través de una observación sistemática de 200 apps para menores de ocho años en el ámbito catalán y un análisis de componentes principales, se propone una definición multidimensional de protección que no se limita a detallar los riesgos potenciales, sino que también considera aspectos relacionados con el potencial educativo e inclusivo de los recursos digitales. Se sugieren cinco factores a considerar para seleccionar estos recursos y contribuir a la competencia digital de docentes y alumnos. El primer factor concierne al uso de mecanismos de protección y la existencia de interferencias externas; el segundo factor indica la presencia de herramientas de adaptación; la exposición a estereotipos corresponde al tercer factor y los últimos dos consideran los conocimientos previos requeridos y el componente verbal de las apps. Finalmente se discute el alcance de la definición propuesta y sus limitaciones para guiar análisis futuros.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación centrada en conocer el grado de desarrollo de la competencia digital de niñas y niños de 11 y 12 años de la Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia. El foco se pone en el desarrollo de la identidad digital y la gestión de la privacidad, cuestiones de seguridad digital en el marco de referencia DigComp. Se presenta un estudio mixto que combina seis estudios de casos y la administración de una prueba de evaluación de la competencia digital (ECODIES) en la que participan, atendiendo a las variables de género y dimensión seguridad, 486 escolares. Los resultados apuntan a una discordancia entre las buenas actitudes y alta concienciación en el uso seguro de la tecnología, especialmente por parte de las niñas, y las prácticas reales en la red, mediadas por los discursos de alarma social que afectan a las formas de participación de uno y otro género, This article presents the results of an investigation focused on knowing the degree of development of the digital competence of girls and boys aged 11 and 12 in the Autonomous Community of Galicia (Spain). The focus is on the development of digital identity and privacy management, digital security issues in the DigComp framework. We present a mixed study that combines six case studies and the administration of a digital competence assessment test (ECODIES) that included participation, according to the gender and security dimension variables, of 486 schoolchildren. The results reveal a disagreement between good attitudes and high awareness in the safe use of technology, especially by girls, and real practices on the web, mediated by social alarm discourses that affect the forms of participation of both genders.

Observation Results

Behaviour is usually named as a main and the essential educational stimulus in the lesson. Due to the pupils’ inappropriate behaviour is common to blame their unwillingness to learn, laziness or period of adolescence. Teachers are usually looking for various types of abnormal behavior and other disorders in their pupils. Students who had teacher‘s assistant practice at schools were observing pupils and their teachers interaction in lessons. The observed lessons’ data show that lots of impact for pupil’s behaviour has teacher’s personality, the ability to communicate, respect and interact with them. The appropriate teaching organization, the competence to explain the aims and goals of the task, ability to select suitable teaching / learning methods, didactic attitude, the ability to control emotional intelligence and ect. According to reports of students, who had pedagogical teacher’s assistant practice at these schools, teachers not always give well suited teaching material. It doesn’t correspond to the pupils in his / her needs, interests, and expectations. Thy don‘t want and can‘t concentrate attention for 45 minutes. Sometimes happen when the teacher has wrong planned lessons, then pupils waste their time because simply they don‘t have what to do. The results show that very low percent of pupils work effectively, have high quality knowledge and learning results. In many cases teachers do not create positive learning environment, fail to ensure emotional security by threatening to write negative marks, to send away from classroom or end the lesson. Teachers usually don’t pay enough attention for their pupils for many reasons. They prefer treating these who are more motivated to study or are going to take the exam of the curriculum. Behaving in this way teachers make all conditions for unwillingness to study and provoke inappropriate activity of their students during lessons. In such conditions the educators don’t involve pupils of all social groups. It means that integration doesn’t work for children with the special needs. Also doesn’t work so called the inclusive education. Thy do not ensure pleasant microclimate in the classroom and suitable educational environment. The observation results state that some educators of these schools acted inadequate by writing negative marks for the students who tried to show inappropriate behaviour. Also we should emphasize that some teachers and students, who had teacher’s assistant practice, lack abilities to adapt their pedagogical and psychological knowledge in their work with pupils. They lack of abilities to control the audience, to interact with the pupils. Also they lack skills of working in a stratified society.

Covid-19 has now attacked Indonesia, where the spread of the disease is very fast. Not only in Indonesia, but all corners of the world are currently experiencing a health crisis. In the beginning, the spread of Covid-19 had an impact on economic activity which began to sluggish. This also has an impact on the education system in Indonesia. Until several countries decided to close schools and universities. In an effort to prevent the spread of covid-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends temporarily stopping activities that would potentially cause crowds. Even during the outbreak, covid-19 in Indonesia, there were many ways that the government did to prevent its spread through social distancing.

Distance language learning is a real challenge to both teachers and learners, since the students’ exposure to the target language in a distance learning system is not as authentic and interactive as required. Additionally, it also entails a significant reduction in the amount of students’ interaction and in the support from both the teacher and other learners, which has a negative impact on students’ levels of motivation and achievement. In the hope of enhancing the distance teaching-learning process of a language and compensating for the previously mentioned drawbacks, a number of technological tools are currently being implemented. However, these technologies have also brought about new challenges that need to be addressed by policy makers, materials developers, teachers and students, if they are to be successfully implemented.

Abstract Creativity is one of the core characteristics of talent; for this reason, the creativity development of applied undergraduates should be one of the basic components of their education. This article gives an overview of the meaning of the creativity of applied undergraduates and makes a literature knowledge-mining and expert investigation on the factors affecting the creativity development. We obtained more than 100 influencing factors, filtered out the duplicative factors, and formed the remaining factors into a questionnaire. A survey was conducted among 1460 teachers and students of some applied undergraduates in Heilongjiang Province. By using principal component analysis (PCA) to analyse the questionnaire, the key factors that affect the creativity development of applied undergraduates are obtained, and the key factors are systematically analysed. According to the results of the analysis, the specific ways and methods of the creativity development of applied undergraduates are put forward.
