The Impact

The STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) are very important for education, but the lack of experimental laboratories for these subjects in a school might decrease the interest of its students in STEM fields. This chapter explores these issues in the Brazilian context where, in order to address this issue, remote experiments are used to share real experiments manipulated through the Internet. Teachers and students can use remote laboratories, equipped with real experiments, to put in practice theoretical concepts learned in class. This chapter presents a report on a pilot project that aims to explore the use of Mobile Remote Experimentation (MRE) by teachers and students of public high schools in Brazil. It involves the use of mobile devices to access remote experiments in STEM subjects through the Internet. The report demonstrates the effectiveness of using such educational resources to improve pedagogical results by applying the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) model to measure the impact of MRE by STEM teachers.

The Impact

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are considered as crucial elements in educational processes, as they constitute relevant and necessary tools in the search for higher levels of socioeconomic development. In this context, ICTs have raised the challenge of finding pedagogical models that maximize their impact on teachers and students. The Business Services and Management Center of the SENA Regional Antioquia has a wide range of technical training programs, for a rapid immersion into the labor market, which implies the use of training technologies to ease the understanding of theoretical concepts and the practice of technical procedures. In addition, these programs require the development of skills allowing their students to perform correctly in the workplace. Considering the above, videogames arise as an alternative tool for training operations. This article presents a review of training tools based on virtual reality, focusing mainly on the design of the game elements and their dynamics, which can contribute to magnify user experiences. Moreover, we present some projects showing success stories in the learning process and discussing the impact of the elements and game mechanics.

Th is work has the theme: Relevant considerations for inline teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic in Public Schools in Amapá. It may be considered that the online teaching has been a challenge for the teacher and for the student, because the difficulties a re innumerable: Internet access, cellphone or computer. The fact is that no one was prepared for this situation, nor the Amapá Secretariat of Education, as well as school managers, teachers students and their families. Everyone had to use creativity to develop students’ learning process. Th us, this new modality requires reflection on the consideration of relevance that can contribute to education quality. Th ese considerations highlight the importance and the family compromise at this moment to encourage the children to attend classes; teachers can create alternatives at websites, groups at social media and messengers’ apps; schools to offer tools to teachers and students in this interaction and the State Secretariat of Education providing support to enable the necessary conditions to minimize the impact suffered in relation to the students’ content and learning. Due to a certain part of the students not having access to the Internet, one of the alternatives found was delivering the activities on printed material. Our objective is knowing the difficulties presented during this period of pandemic in online education for the actors of the process and the expected solutions by the Educational System with the schools. Th e methodology used to carry out the work is based on bibliographic research. Therefore, it was found that innovation and creativity was means that the school was able to involve students so that they did not distance themselves, not necessarily using the technology, but making them part of the process and promoting reflection about their maturity in distance learning. From the above, it is concluded the importance of the Amapá State Secretariat of Education, of the school, of the teacher and the family to develop the potential of each student and to prepare them for the development of their knowledge and learning.

The Impact

Kindergarten education is becoming a priority throughout the USA as research shows its importance on later in life outcomes. The State of Washington instated full-day kindergarten for all public-school students beginning in 2016–2017. It “…is part of the state’s constitutionally protected definition of ‘Basic Education’” (Reykdal, n.d., n.p.), working to support all children in the state. Acting on this new state requirement, one school district chose to design and build a center dedicated solely to kindergarten education, housing approximately 600 kindergarteners. The school was divided into four ‘neighborhood pods’ each with immediate access to specific activity programs (i.e., dining, interventionists, elective functions) reflecting a new ‘expanded push-in’ model and reduce transition times. This model was compared with a ‘traditionally’ operated kindergarten where learners travel to activity programs throughout a campus (i.e., dining, interventionists, electives). A human-centered research design using mixed-methods for this comparison study between an ‘expanded push-in’ and a ‘traditional’ model was used to understand the impact of this new architectural solution particularly focused on timing transitions between the classroom and activity program settings. Findings discovered a reduction in the length of transitions between accessing the programs by recaptured seven school days of learning time (approximately 45 hours), when compared to the traditional one, and more positive connections between students/students, teachers/teachers, and students/teachers to build community.

The Impact

In an attempt to foster inquiry-oriented learning in middle grades (grades 6 – 8), a technology mediated pedagogy integrating science and mathematics was promoted through Project SMILE (Science and Mathematics Integration for Literacy Enhancement). It involved in-service teachers in professional learning and classroom implementation over a period of two academic years, with the explicit goal of enhancing teachers' ability to foster more authentic inquiry in their classes. This chapter describes the design of Project SMILE in the context of recent reform efforts in science and mathematics education, along with the theoretical underpinnings for the design. Project activities, followed by the research methodology employed to investigate the impact on both teachers and students are described next. Finally, research results and their implications are discussed with an eye toward the usefulness of integrating science and mathematics and involving specific technological tools to foster greater inquiry-oriented learning in school science and mathematics.

The Impact

While mainstream accounts of the impact of internet technologies on the music industry have emphasised the crisis of the major-dominated mainstream recording industry, a more optimistic discourse has also been promoted, emphasising the opportunities that the Internet creates for independent musicians. These same new technologies, it is argued, enable artists to reach new global audiences and engage with them in ways that can facilitate more stable, financially self-sustaining independent careers. Little research has been conducted, however, on the effect of new Internet technologies on the careers and practices of independent musicians. This article, part of a pilot project on the working experiences of independent musicians, examines how musicians signed to small labels in the South-west of England use social media in their careers and discusses their understanding of its benefits and disadvantages. It concludes that social media use is an essential tool in the arsenal of an independent musician, and does provide advantages for them, but significant disadvantages have also emerged and thus the benefits of social media for independent musicians have likely been overstated.

For 28 years, the Deep River Science Academy (DRSA) has been offering high school students the opportunity to engage in the excitement and challenge of professional scientific research to help nurture their passion for science and to provide them with the experience and the knowledge to make informed decisions regarding possible future careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The venue for the DRSA program has been a six-week summer science camp where students, working in pairs under the guidance of a university undergraduate tutor, contribute directly to an on-going research program under the supervision of a professional scientist or engineer. This concept has been expanded in recent years to reach students in classrooms year round by engaging students via the internet over a 12-week term in a series of interactive teaching sessions based on an on-going research project. Although the research projects for the summer program are offered primarily from the laboratories of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited at its Chalk River Laboratories site, projects for the year-round program can be based, in principle, in laboratories at universities and other research institutes located anywhere in Canada. This paper will describe the program in more detail using examples illustrating how the students become engaged in the research and the sorts of contributions they have been able to make over the years. The impact of the program on the students and the degree to which the DRSA has been able to meet its objective of encouraging students to choose careers in the fields of STEM and equipping them with the skills and experience to be successful will be assessed based on feedback from the students themselves. Finally, we will examine the program in the context of how well it helps to address the challenges faced by educators today in meeting the demands of students in a world where the internet provides instant access to information.
