When discussing emerging educational technologies, the complaint around the globe is common enough: we may be outfitting schools with classrooms of the future, but teaching methods remain mired in the past. In the six articles that follow we describe our research on choosing and applying emerging educational technologies in the light of what we know about best practice teaching methods. Whereas many well-respected experts have addressed the need for new methodologies, we chose to focus on the process of choosing the technologies themselves. We set out to determine how to evaluate the individual promise an educational technology may hold and to provide guidelines to those who choose and use the technologies for teaching and learning.

The Past

One concept that has proved to be especially difficult to comprehend in computer science education is recursion. This chapter provides an overview of past efforts on the teaching of recursion. The authors first introduce concepts and models about the teaching and learning of recursion. In particular, they identify models used by teachers to explain recursion (i.e. conceptual models) and models used by students in their learning process (i.e. mental models). Afterwards, they review the teaching methods used in the past. Finally, the authors survey visualization and animation systems for recursion, explaining how they support conceptual models and how they try to remove wrong mental models. They also include a comprehensive technical comparison of the systems and review the evaluations these systems have been subject to.

In the past decades, there has been a growing interest in the effects of language tests, especially high-stakes tests, on teaching and learning referred to as ‘washback'. In fact, high-stakes tests have started to be exploited to reform instruction and achieve beneficial washback. This paper focuses on the washback effects of a high-stakes English Test (ET) on the teaching of English. The main goal of this study is to examine the washback effects of the ET on the following aspects of teaching: curriculum, materials, teaching methods, and teaching feelings and attitudes. The study also attempts to discover teachers' perceptions towards the introduction of a speaking and a listening component in the design of the new ET due to be implemented in 2012. The overall findings, collected from a questionnaire carried out among 51 secondary teachers, indicate that the ET is clearly affecting curriculum and materials. Results also reveal that the ET appears to influence teachers' methodology. Furthermore, most of the teachers believe that the introduction of a speaking and a listening component in the new ET design will help solve the mismatch between the communicative approach they seem to value and the skills so far evaluated in the ET.

The Egyptian education system is large, and current practices are very rigid. It is accustomed to mass education as was developed in Europe over the past two hundred years, following closely the British tradition. Full-scale renovation of the existing system will take time; a ten-year period is estimated.  Significant changes are taking place in science programs offered to future citizens. Traditional patterns of science education, which build a strong theoretical tradition with less emphasis on laboratory and practical experiences, are changing rapidly. New programs and systems with more emphasis on research are being introduced. The content and teaching methods incorporated in these programs are based on the most up-to-date theories about what science is most worth knowing. The primary goal of the new generation science programs is to reflect the national interest of having a scientifically literate population.

University-based scientists hold the collective responsibility for educating the next generation of citizens, scientists and voters, but the degree to which they are individually trained and rewarded for this pursuit is variable. This F1000Research channel has its origin in a Society for Experimental Biology Conference held in Prague, 2015 and brings together researchers who excel at undergraduate education or the scholarship of teaching and learning to discuss challenges and best practices in contemporary higher science education.

Innovation methods are an effective educational technology due to its inherent qualities of interactivity, flexibility and integration of various types of educational information, as well as with the ability to take into consideration the individual characteristics of students and enhance their motivation. The article discusses innovative teaching methods that are used in the system of the modern educational process. The characteristic features of the means, forms and methods of innovative teaching are determined, the specifics of their use in an interactive educational environment to improve the quality of student education at medical universities are revealed.

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the prerequisites for the creation and description of the theoretical foundations of the new educational technology «Re-foresight» («Research Foresight»). The article justified the request for new educational technologies in working with the managers of the new formation. The genesis of the foresight methodology is presented, in which the content thread of the formation of instruments of influence on the development of the strategies of the country, region, and industry is traced. The road map of author's educational technology for research foresight is given, which includes the stages: improvement of managerial competencies, real forecasting, design of management decisions, assessment; application of modern teaching methods: igrofication, visualization of meanings, personal reflection. A triad of psychological categories (personality - activity - communication) is presented, forming the methodology of educational technology «Re-Foresight». The educational technology «Re-Foresight» has been approved in the construction of the image of the future youth branch of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District and can be applied at the regional and municipal level, as well as in carrying out branch and corporate foresights.

The Past

During the past thirty years, various forms of technology have facilitated teaching and learning. Recently, touchscreen tablets are among the devices growing in popularity. Many mathematics apps are available; however, they vary in their usefulness for different users. Monitoring students' interactions with selected apps is important for teachers to do to ensure that earners are benefiting from technology integration. The Modification of Attributes, Affordances, Abilities, and Distance (MAAAD) for Learning Framework (see fig. 1) emerged from evaluations of students' interactions with educational technology (Tucker 2016). Teachers can use this framework to select apps for use in the classroom, formatively assess student understanding, and evaluate the appropriateness of tasks presented by apps.

Abstract Speech science education has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. New technologies in the laboratory, clinic, and classroom have influenced what and how we teach. The Internet has proven to be an effective resource, yet information gleaned must be viewed with a critical eye. Speech science educators are typically professors with extensive research training, but little or no training in how to teach. It is common, therefore, for professors to teach in the manner in which they were taught. The traditional lecture format class has been superseded by teaching methods that encourage active learning and collaboration between students. As speech science education adapts to include new technologies and by embracing new instructional models, students will be better prepared to bridge science and clinical practice.
