Caribbean students and teachers in training in a university setting explored teaching and learning in a new dialogic wall-less classroom space in their dual roles as teachers and learners in flipped classroom assessment spaces. This chapter explores how placing university course delivery and assessment within a television teaching-learning studio registered a shift from the usual top-down classroom practice (teach-learn-test) towards synchronous teacher and student inquiry, innovation, experiment, and assessment. Flipping print-rich classrooms into performance-rich classrooms and regular classrooms and lecture theatres into a television learning studio resulted in teacher-student and secondary students role reversals as teachers and learners, symbiotic learning and the strengthening of teacher pedagogy. The findings are indicating that the flipped classroom is a cognitive space that can be retrofitted into teacher- and student-created media spaces for sustainable practice in teacher education and assessment that support alternative pathways to teaching and learning.

Insight Into

Assessment is a broad concept which means it is part of the whole educational process of teaching and learning. The variety of methods that teachers use to evaluate and measure the student’s learning progress and skill acquisition are referred by the term assessment. Assessment shapes how teachers teach and how students learn. The assessment of student’s achievements is a pedagogical dialogue between teacher-student for the quality of teaching, learning and knowledge.Assessment especially continuous assessment is a very important tool that teachers should use in the classroom because by using it a wealth of information to guide classroom practice and to manage learning and learners can be provided. Assessment tells us the truth about an education system, then about the qualities of students and their work.It has an important role in education and it is necessary to help students learn, to help students become knowledgeable, to help students gain insight into their learning and understanding, to teach effectively etc.Since making assessment an integral part of daily instruction is a challenge, this paper examines the process of assessing student’s knowledge, types of assessment and the assessment of L2 writing. It also focuses on the issues and challenges in the process of assessment.

Nowadays, Information and Communication Technologies play an important role in the teaching-learning process. Universities have incorporated different platforms specifically designed to educational institutions; among others Moodle and Sakai are being used in Spanish Universities. In particular, the Universitat Politècnica de València has adopted the PoliformaT platform, adapted from Sakai. It consists on different tools that facilitate the teaching and learning processes and the teacher–student communication. It enables teachers to improve their instructional design and it is of key importance in blended learning and flipped classroom approach. Lessons is a specific tool available in PoliformaT, which enables the organization of the different educational resources. It combines lecture slides, video lectures (from the teacher or from others sources), exams (quizzes, self-/peer-assessment), tasks and so on. The extensive use of the online platform in the daily learning of the subject, by several teachers and different student groups, needs to pay special attention to the resources organization. In contrary case, the subject platform can become a mess, losing its usefulness. In this paper, the utilization of Lessons by students in two first course subjects at the Universitat Politècnica de València is studied. The teachers of physics of the Aerospace Engineering Degree and electricity of Electronic and Automatic Engineering Degree have designed the course activities by means of the Lessons tool. There are important research questions related to the Lessons tool: how often, when, and how students access to the different contents?, do they think it is useful? At a second level, one can be asked if student perceptions are related to learning outcomes. We will use students' learning tracks, student’s survey and scores to answer these questions.

This chapter focuses on the benefits of incorporating asynchronous tasks, activities, components in the teaching of IB English A: Literature Yr. 1. Taking into consideration the unique challenges of the new syllabus, the author shows how asynchronous teaching/learning may enable teachers to cover in depth many literary texts, by running concurrently F2F/synchronous and asynchronous classes. Particular emphasis is placed on how low-immediacy and low-bandwidth tools may contribute to teacher-student and student-student collaboration. The author also reflects on how the use of asynchronous components smoothened the transition to an exclusively online learning environment after the closing of the schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article concentrates on the question what kind of model - conceptual and statistical - can serve as a good working model for the study of learning and teaching processes qua processes. We claim that a good way of answering this question is to begin by observing a teaching and learning process as, where, and when it occurs. In addition, a conceptual model of intertwined learning-teaching processes is discussed, and dynamic modeling as an approach to theory formation about teaching-learning processes. The focus lies on the evolution term, the timescale of interaction processes, state space as a perspective on teacher-student interaction dynamics, and the principle of agency. Finally, an empirical approach to studying teaching-learning processes is illustrated by means of a case study, focusing on the use of cluster analyses techniques. In the Conclusion and Discussion section, further perspectives on theory building and empirical research are discussed.

School Democracy

This article presents the case for a progressive education that embraces notions of democratic values in the classroom, and an education for democratic citizenship. Informed by John Dewey’s and Martin Buber’s philosophies of education, and Homi Bhabha’s concept of ‘third space’ work, the article examines the problematic and contested issues of emancipation and empowerment for learning in the classroom and across the school. Democracy in schooling requires a learning environment where teachers and students are encouraged and empowered to engage in mutual dialogue over matters to do with teaching and learning. Acknowledging this requirement, and the traditional agential and power-related positioning of teacher–student relationships and role identities in the classroom and across the school, this article argues for the creation of learning environments where classroom practice is democratically ‘top-down’ teacher-guided and ‘bottom-up’ student-informed.

This study aims to know the pattern of teacher – student conversation in English class in a single sex class. The data were obtained from a private Islamic bilingual high school Jombang. The study used qualitative approach. The data are based on the observations of the classroom and video recordings during three meetings in each class (female and male class). The theory used in the study was conversational analysis proposed by Paul Ten Have. There are four types of conversation analysis. They are turn – taking organization, sequence organization, repair organization, and preference organization. The result showed that the highest number of conversation analysis type was turn – taking organization followed by sequence organization (adjacency pairs) and the preference organization and the lowest number was repair organization. The pattern of teacher student conversation was influenced by several factors such as the topics discussed, the teaching – learning method used by the teacher, the rules of Islamic regulations and the teacher’s strategy in giving extra score to the students. Method. From the results it can be concluded that there were no marked differences of the pattern of teacher – student conversation found in the class of female student and male student only. The teacher had succeeded in the teaching and learning process without considering the gender of the students.

Educational data mining has aroused a great research interest among the educational institutions nowadays. Blended learning is used as a pedagogy in the field of teaching and learning. Blended learning is a fusion of online digital media with conventional teaching in classrooms where the teacher and student has to be present physically throughout teaching duration. Teacher –student interaction is made possible using the internet during the non-contact hours. For rendering a valuable blended learning environment, it is essential to gather users’ opinion or feedback on this learning methodology. Therefore, opinion-mining techniques have been used in this paper for helping the academicians to improve and promote such learning environments. Students positive or negative feelings towards the subject teaching can be analyzed using these techniques. This paper discusses how sentiment analysis can be performed on the feedback collected in a learning management system with the intention of advancing the teaching learning process. This work presents the experimental results that were obtained after comparison of various feature selection methods say Chi-square, Information Gain, Mutual Information and Symmetrical Uncertainty

Teaching and learning how to program are not easy tasks. Disapproval and dropout rates are a concern for everyone concerned with the topic. Therefore, it is necessary to look for strategies that improve the motivation of students who start a programming course, also improving success rates and decreasing dropout rates. The inverted class model, or flipped classroom, has been used in several experiments, showing very good results. The objectives of this teaching-learning technique is to change the traditional order: students have contact with new subjects before the classroom, using videos, texts or other material, as well as small online tests to check their knowledge. In this way, the face-to-face classes are reserved for discussion, doubts and application of previously acquired knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the scientific production on Flipped classrooms in introductory programming courses indexed in Elsevier’s Scopus. The sample is composed by 45 articles in total. The results obtained by bibliometric analysis showed when and where those documents are published, who are the authors and what is the focus of said articles. We also analyzed the most cited documents. We made a summary of the articles, namely in what refers to the sample size of the experiences, which programming language is used, in which universities the articles are made, which technology is used, as well as which methods are used in order to create inverted classes and which are the objectives and results of these experiences reported on the articles.. We managed to get a global view of the theme, getting a strong analysis for those who want to use flipped classrooms for teaching programming.
