This chapter analyzes the adequacy of two university education models according to their Information Communications Technology (ICT) usage: One model is based on the use of ICT as a cornerstone and a cohesive element of the teaching-learning process, whereas the other considers ICT a mere teaching support tool. The preliminary results obtained from a review of case studies reveal that ICT use is not only a means for improving the teaching–learning process but also an emerging prerequisite, demanded by digital natives in their choice of a university. Furthermore, it represents an additional valued outcome of the teaching–learning process.

This study discusses the accessibility of university education in the four public universities in Yogyakarta; Indonesian Arts Institute (ISI), University of Gajah Mada (UGM),Yogyakarta State University (UNY), and State Islamic University (UIN) Sunan Kalijaga. Upto now, the disability groups have not got an equal access and the opportunity in a higher education. There are only a few students with disabilities that are accepted in Universities in Indonesia, because of physical limitations that would interfere the teaching-learning process in their classrooms. The research findings showed that the education systems in the UGM, Yogyakarta State University, and the ISI have a system of “integration”, while at UIN has led to the inclusion system, that is “accommodative” and has the ability to service for persons with disabilities.Penelitian ini membahas tentang aksesibilitas pendidikan di perguruan tinggi di empat perguruan tinggi negeri di Yogyakarta; yaitu Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI), Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM), Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY), an Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sunan Kalijaga. Sampai saat, kelompok masyarakat yang menyandang disabilitas masih belum memperoleh persamaan dan kesempatan dalam mengakses pada pendidikan tinggi. Hanya sedikit mahasiswa penyandang disabilitas yang diterima pada Perguruan tinggi di Indonesia, karena keterbatasan fisik yang akan mengganggu proses belajar-mengajar di kelasnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan baha pendidikan di UGM, UNY, dan ISI memiliki sistem “integrasi”,sedangkan di UIN telah memiliki sistem inklusi, yang “akomodatif”, dan mampu memberi layanan mahasiswa penyandang disabilitas.

ICTs in Education refers to the development of information and communications technology specifically for teaching/learning purposes, while the ICTs in education involves the adoption of general components of information and communication technologies in the teaching learning process. The National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), launched in 2009 by the Central Government. Let’s see how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) evolved the Higher Education system: The role of ICT in higher education, what students learn, The role of ICT in Higher Education, how Students Learn, The role of ICT in Higher Education, when students learn, The role of ICT in higher education, where students learn. Online courses, development of e-content, e-learning, digital libraries, online encyclopaedias, journals, and books would promote learning and make knowledge available to all irrespective of the distance or location or financial resources. Government intervention is necessary so that ICT can be made successful in higher education. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has the proven power to change the world. This acronym refers to the merging of audiovisual and telephone networks with the computer single unified system of cabling.

ABSTRACTThe teaching of Algebra, in special Linear Algebra, to engineering students, come changing its focus since the popularization of personal computers. Various specialized softwares has been developed and has become feasible to pay more attention in the algebraic thinking to solve problems and minus attention in the calculus itself. But one needs to be careful to not go to the extreme of this teaching-learning process. The teaching of Algebra using computational software must not mean the teaching of a sequence of commands and its syntaxes. On the other hand, it must not mean to memorize a sequence of definitions and theorems. So we propose a equilibrium point based on our experience with students of engineering that attended in our lessons of Algebra with Scilab software.RESUMOO ensino de álgebra, especialmente álgebra linear (AL), para estudantes de engenharia, vem mudando seu foco desde a populariozação dos computadores pessoais. Diversos softwares especializados têm sido desenvolvidos e tornado possível prestar mais atenção ao pensamento algébrico para a solução de problemas do que ao cálculo em si. Mas é necessário ter-se cuidado para não ocupar os extremos nesse processo de ensino-aprendizagem. O ensino de álgebra usando softwares não deve significar ensinar uma sequência de comandos e suas sintaxes. Também não deve significar memorizar uma sequência de definições e teoremas. Assim, propõe-se um ponto de equilíbrio baseado na experiência com estudantes de engenharia que participaram das aulas de AL utilizando o Scilab.

Out of a conversation between two long-time colleagues—each a science educator and practicing artist—emerged the question, “What does it mean to STEAMify a lesson, and why would a teacher actually choose to do such a thing, other than, say, for-grant-writing-purposes?” Their science selves really liked the idea of a STEAM system, acted upon by forces, both from the outside and from within, and with energy flowing and cycling, all the while transforming grey matter in ways that sustained the teaching/learning process. When it came to their art; however, their dialogue followed pathways grooved by long years of practice and hard work in their respective fields. One author is a seasoned vocalist, trained in the nuances of both individual and group vocal performance as well as the attendant dimensions of music, its composition and phraseology. The other is a painter, poet, and novelist, shaping words, color, and line to tell stories and communicate ideas. What was significant to each was that their artistic habits of mind had shaped their axiology, transforming their ways teaching.

The present study constituted simulations ofthe formation of dolines by using reduced analog models and it looked for contributing to the teaching-learning process of geographic education. The research was carried out using a wooden box, which was adapted with a reservoir that recharged the system,and a space for the superposition of the sedimentary layers. Altogether, four experiments were conducted, which enabled analytical and didactic interpretations. The first two, due to their stochastic nature, encourage future studies. The last two presented doliniform features, with the third coming closer to the natural scenerio. On the other hand, the fourth test was more didactic. Such a test was done under controlled conditions, and could contribute more to the geographic education in the early years, unlike the third, conducive to higher education.

The objective of the research was to determine the incidence of the use of GeoGebra in the learning process of graph of functions of the subject of Mathematics 1 in the students of the first semester of the School of Electronic Engineering in Telecommunications and Networks of the Polytechnic School of Chimborazo. The research is bibliographic, descriptive and quasi-experimental, to which a hypothesis to be demonstrated was proposed. A curricular plan was considered which was developed by a control group (traditional method - 38 students) and an experimental group (use of GeoGebra - 37 students). The groups were evaluated in 2 parts, in the (Pre) and (Post) phases through an evaluation rubric composed of different activities. An intervention plan was applied for the experimental group that allowed to establish an improved scenario to the traditional one. The obtained data from each group represented the academic performance, which was tabulated, analyzed and interpreted. Finally, the results were subjected to a Ztest, which allowed to determine the use of GeoGebra as an academic support tool that has a positive impact on the teaching-learning process of representation of the results of the graphs of functions.
