The chapter deals with the latest problems within the ICT-supported instruction and is structured into four parts. The introductory part emphasizes the importance of information and communication technologies implemented in the process of instruction and attracts attention to the didactic aspects of this process (i.e. whether teachers are able to apply suitable methods and forms of instruction, create and use appropriate didactic means which are offered by new technologies, and whether students reach a higher level of knowledge if they attend lessons managed by ICT or run traditionally by teachers). Part two deals with e-learning related phenomena as definitions and basic terminology which has not been clearly defined yet, evaluating pedagogical research in the field of e-learning. Part three focuses on results of analyses of research studies presented in three important e-learning conferences within the last decade in the Czech Republic: eLearning (Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove), ICTE (Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Ostrava), and SCO (Sharable Content Objects, Masaryk University, Brno). Part four introduces a new approach to tailoring the online courses to individual student´s needs and results of research in this field. Not only the learning content but the methodology is considered here from the teacher´s point of view, and the expectations (hypotheses) are verified by the pedagogical experiment.

Technological factor is mainly underestimated in the literature on institutions and organizations. Although organizational studies and information technology are disciplines dedicated respectively to studying socio-political and technical aspects of organizing, cross-fertilization among such fields has remained quite limited. Only rarely the variable of technology has been interpreted as a crucial element for explaining institutional uniformity. From a more general point of view, changing technical factors have been considered “relatively unimportant sources of organizational change in a mature organizational field” (Yang, 2003, p. 433). Only after the spread of the information and communication technologies (ICTs), a good number of studies has started to consider the relationships among information technology and organizational structure (Guthrie, 1999). Neo-institutional analysis on the use of information technology was mostly directed at showing how the embeddedness of organizational actors “in cognitive, cultural, social, and institutional structures influences the design, perceptions, and uses of the Internet and related [information technology]” (Fountain, 2001, p. 88). Therefore, it can been argued that most of the literature on this field concerns the way in which technology represents a social construct, because it shows that any technological application is strongly influenced by social aspects, such as cognitive frames, political culture, local traditions and so forth. Yet, a few contributions have been dedicated until now to investigate how institutions change through the introduction of new technologies. Although technological innovation is said to be the source of variation in a given institutional context, as “new technology offers new possibilities for solving problems [and] new practices arise when innovative organizations take advantage of its novel benefits” (Leblebici, 1991, p. 335), little attention is focused on technological variables. Despite such disregard, in the following article some examples of the strategic use of information and communication technologies will be included, with specific reference to pressures exerted by ICTs for producing “institutional isomorphism.”

Competencia Digital

La enseñanza online, vinculada a la incorporación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación al ámbito educativo, han supuesto una revolución para los procesos formativos. En este sentido, los small private online courses (SPOC) se convierten en un recurso con el que poder diseñar acciones formativas para el profesorado. Este estudio, mediante un análisis pedagógico y bibliométrico, pretende conocer las características de los SPOC como recurso formativo y la evolución de su producción científica en las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science. Los resultados reflejan un aumento significativo de la producción científica en los últimos años, destacando el interés creado en las instituciones universitarias y en las áreas de ciencias de la computación y ciencias sociales. Entre los motivos pedagógicos, encontramos la amplia oferta académica, la personalización del proceso formativo o la mejora de la competencia digital al formarse mediante SPOC. En definitiva, el crecimiento de los SPOC está relacionado con las ventajas que aportan sus características didácticas en un contexto educativo en el que las tecnologías juegan un papel clave, por lo que se convierte en un recurso de interés para la formación de los docentes. E-learning, linked to the incorporation of information and communication technologies in education, has been a revolution for training processes. In this sense, the small private online courses (SPOC) become a resource with which to design training actions for teachers. This study, through a pedagogical and bibliometric analysis, aims to know the characteristics of SPOCs as a training resource and the evolution of its scientific production in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The results reflect a significant increase in scientific production in recent years, highlighting the interest created in university institutions and in the areas of computer science and social sciences. Among the pedagogical reasons, we find the wide academic offer, the personalization of the training process or the improvement of the digital competence when being formed through SPOC. In short, the growth of SPOCs is related to the advantages that their didactic characteristics bring in an educational context in which technologies play a key role, so it becomes a resource of interest for teacher training.

To Receive

In July 2020, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published a text in its Coronavirus Responses series (COVID-29) on The potential of e-learning for adults: early lessons from the COVID-19 crisis, where one of the priorities identified was the training of teachers in pedagogical design of quality online courses for effective learning (OECD, 2020). The TALIS Report 2018 notes that although a large majority of teachers in schools willingly participate in professional development activities, many still feel ill-prepared to use new media in their teaching. They would therefore like to go beyond basic digital skills to receive more in-depth training on information and communication technologies (ICT) and their pedagogical integration for quality hybrid or online teaching (OECD, 2019).

Abstract Introduction Education in the health sciences has been undergoing profound changes due to the incorporation of information and communication technologies. Students learn through a variety of approaches, according to their learning styles. Blended learning, which combines technology-aided learning (e-learning) with traditional face-to-face teaching methods, has been found to improve learning outcomes. Objective The aims of the present study were to evaluate the learning styles of undergraduate dental students and their experience towards the use of e-learning. Material and method Two electronic questionnaires were sent to 174 students. The learning styles were determined by the Felder & Soloman Index (ILS), which evaluates the following four dimensions of learning: processing information (active-reflexive); perceiving information (sensorial-intuitive); receiving information (visual-verbal); and understanding information (sequential-global). To determine the e-learning experience we used four questions (Likert scale – five-point) which addressed the experience and the use of information and communication technologies. Result Most students presented a well-balanced style for the active-reflective (60%) and sequential-global (68%) domains. The sensing style (64%) was predominant. A lower percentage presented a global characteristic (9%). We did not find significant differences regarding the age groups (19-21 and 22-33 years) and genders (P>0.05, χ 2). However, in terms of age the difference was significant concerning websites helping in learning (P=0.0363, Mann-Whitney). Conclusion We conclude that the students do not have the same learning styles and e-learning experience. Methods such as blended learning could provide advantages when teaching undergraduate dental students.
