Learning theories are conceptual frameworks describing how knowledge is absorbed, processed, and retained during learning. This chapter will explore constructivism theory and how it determines impact on technology knowledge in instruction. Constructivism theory states that learning occurs when one constructs both mechanisms for learning and his or her own unique version of the knowledge. It states that knowledge must be constructed by the learner. The teacher can only assist the learner to do the construction. The construction of knowledge is a dynamic process that requires the active engagement of the learners who will be responsible for one's learning while the teacher only creates an effective learning environment. As students and teachers make use of technology in the learning process, these skills become necessary and the technology becomes a learning tool. Technology can serve as coaches by locating the problem and allowing for as much rehearsal, practice, and help as necessary to accomplish the task. Technology can enhance the cognitive powers of students.

The 2018 edition of RoboCup allowed young people from Centre de formation en entreprise et récupération (CFER) de Bellechasse to demonstrate their skills in programming and robotics. In this school, as in many schools, the use of technology is a particularly effective learning tool, especially for students facing challenges. The construction of a robotic device has allowed them to develop several skills, some of which can be reinvested in various contexts, whether at school or in their professional life. This commentary briefly presents the exceptional journey of Bellechasse students who were able to overcome many obstacles and compete with gifted students from around the world.

From 8 articles, found the development of tenology-based encyclopedias as a very effective learning resource used in the learning process by using the ADDIE, 4-D development model, and Borg and Ball development models. Then in the use of technology-based learning resource encyclopedias this is very feasible to use in the learning process both in the class room and independently at home. So, the development of technology-based learning resource encyclopedia that is able to be a source of learning in addition to textbooks that are used by students to add insight, enrich information and understanding and can increase motivation and learning outcomes.

Progress in information technology that is so fast is expected to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. In the world of information technology education can help and support the learning process. Especially now all the learning process activities can be done online. Progress in information technology must also be supported by quality human resources. In this case the teacher is very instrumental in the utilization of information technology in the world of education. Because the teacher is one of the education supervisors who will encourage the advancement of the quality of education in Indonesia. But in reality the quality of teachers in Indonesia is inadequate. There are still many teachers who cannot use information technology in learning especially for teachers who are senior or old. As teacher supervisors, they must improve the quality of their performance in using technology. To improve the ability of teachers to use technology, ongoing training is needed to use technology. The role of the head of the school as a supervisor is also needed, namely the principal is obliged to supervise, control, and approach the teacher in terms of the use of technology in the learning process.

AbstractEntrepreneurship educators can maximise the effectiveness of their delivery by having a firm grasp of the different educational philosophies and theories that underpin entrepreneurship education pedagogy and practice. A particular educational philosophical orientation underlies, directs, and drives educator practices and should align with what the teaching seeks to impart and achieve, and the roles the learners and educator play in the learning process. Whilst educators might not always be explicitly aware of their philosophical orientation, it will direct and drive their pedagogic practice and have implications for what they deliver, and how they deliver it. The benefits of bringing together different learning theories, philosophies, and approaches for entrepreneurship education has previously been posited in the literature. However, it has been highlighted that connections between educational theory and practice are limited, and that the field of entrepreneurship education could be advanced through providing links between education literature, theory, and learning. This paper advances the literature by linking educational philosophy and theory to entrepreneurship education and pedagogy in higher education. It discusses and highlights how behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism, and humanism can be used to underpin and support learning in entrepreneurship education. This meets calls for the conceptualisation of how educational philosophies and theories can be integrated into entrepreneurship education to support learners.

This study investigated students' actual use of mobile technology (MT) as a learning tool and identified their perceptions towards the effects of using MT on the learning process. It also examined the impact of students' academic major on their use and perceived effects of MT. The relationship between MT use and its effect on learning was explored as well. To this end, a quantitative study of professional diploma students' perceptions of MT was carried out. The results revealed that students use MT in a variety of ways, and they perceive it as primary valuable tools to supplement their learning. However, the nature of MT use is unpretentious in scope. The results also indicated that students' academic major significantly impacted their use and perceived effects of MT. In addition, significant correlation was found between the use and effects of MT.
