In today’s knowledge society, better identified as a learning society, the opportunities for self-instruction and lifelong learning are playing an increasing role due to Information Communication Technologies. Old and new communication technologies offer possibilities for learning, as long as the worker is capable of learning in autonomy. Training has a central role as an educational activity, which aims at promoting and updating knowledge. Knowledge society does not only require citizens and workers to have basic skills; it asks for a life-long learning. Documentation is a form of communication that allows tacit, unexpressed, informal knowledge to emerge. It provides knowledge of the individual experiences of teachers and educators that can be widely shared. In knowledge management, audiovisual and multimedia documentation has proved to be a useful and efficient means of recording the experiences that are to be shared.

The purpose of this chapter is to show how information communication technologies (ICT) facilitated communication between primary pre-service teachers that enabled a ‘community of learners’ to develop children’s scientific literacy. Cultural-historical theory was used to frame a study that sought to explicitly go beyond thinking as being individualistic, and to show how thinking can also be considered as a collective endeavour. In particular the study identifies how thinking forms part of a ‘community of learners’ both virtually and in reality within classrooms. The study was able to make visible child and pre-service teacher interactional sequences that brought together everyday concepts and scientific concepts to support concept formation in science. The study revealed the dialectical relations between everyday concepts and scientific concepts for moving from an interpsychological level to an intrapsychological level. The collective, rather than the individual orientation, made such a perspective possible. Importantly, the use of ICTs facilitated communication between members of the collective.

According to the principal ideas of the Concept of introduction of media education in Ukraine, the process of teaching and learning has to rely on information communication technologies, preparing the individual to use them skilfully and safely.

The article deals with the main aspects of using information communication technologies as a means of the development of oral speech at the English lessons in high school. The peculiarities of the development of oral speech at the final stage of school education in terms of communicative approach to language teaching and forms of information communication technologies are highlighted. During a school lesson teacher can use web quests, mailing, chats, audio- and video-conferencing, blogging, interactive applications and educational platforms. That is why it is important to understand the methodological characteristics of information communication technologies usage as well as their importance for modern education process. We also managed to reveal positive aspects and challenges of teaching English and developing oral speech with the help of information communication technologies during school practice. Using the information communication technologies has become one of the most popular tendencies in the process of education in today's world, as they help to intensify the educational process, promote perceivement and comprehension of huge amount of information.

The enhanced use of information communication technologies in the knowledge society has a huge impact on how people learn and do research. In education, the trend topic Gamification has appeared, trying to fulfil the needs of digital natives. Likewise, researchers are challenged by new forms of collaboration. Interdisciplinary projects become more and more important. This article aims at combining these two trending topics of the knowledge society. Thus, the importance of Gamification in the scientific world in terms of disciplinary diversity will be measured. The goal is to identify predominant disciplines publishing on the topic and to detect collaborations in terms of multi- and interdisciplinarity. We firstly give an overview on the different research fields. Further, we introduce a way to measure disciplinary diversity of Gamification and classify the issue accordingly. Gamification presents itself as a multidisciplinary topic with an average of 4.2 references of different disciplines. In terms of interdisciplinarity a total value of 31% also represents a strong outcome.

In recent years, the development of information communication technologies, such as social media, has changed the way people communicate and engage in social movements. While conventional movements were fought in the streets, social media has enabled movements to take place online. In this article, we aim to investigate the role of social media during social movements that evolve online under the scope of the theory of connective action. Specifically, we examined Twitter communication during the #metoo debate. To this end, we examined two datasets (2017 and 2019) and combined methods from social media analytics to identify influential users, with a manual content analysis to classify influential users into roles. Likewise, a manual classification found distinct communication categories. Through regression analysis, we were able to gage the individual contribution of these categories and roles based on the retweet probability. This study introduces for the first time the terms of connective action starters and maintainers.
