Biological Concepts

The purpose of this research has been to identify modern and effective learning models, based on constructionism, in learning biological concepts. The author shows that the cognitive, formative, and emotional benefits, of combined learning models to obtain the best results in the construction of concepts, by students' effort, in accordance with Papert's constructionism ideas. The researcher recommends using the techno-empirio-psycho-sociocentric (TEPS) combined model, based on information and communication technologies (ICTs), in individual-and team-based rediscovery of new biological concepts. When no ICTs are used, the empirio-psycho-socio-centric model is recommended. As an alternative or in combination with, these learning models, the researcher promotes the techno-logo-psychocentric (TLP) model in presentations of science as a finished product when ICTs are used or the logo-psychocentric modernized (LPM) model, with attractive procedures, without ICTs.

The growth of e-learning, particularly distance learning via e-learning, is widely recognised as a significant factor influencing higher education in the 21st century. The rapid and ongoing uptake of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for teaching and learning, along with the recognition that increased student engagement can lead to more effective learning, is changing the way in which teaching and learning occurs in universities. This chapter suggests that the distance learner is frequently overlooked in the current climate when it comes to consideration of student needs and that current applications of ICT for distance learning raises questions about the quality of their learning experience. The chapter discusses the role of the student voice in understanding and addressing students’ needs in relation to the quality of their learning experience and suggests that greater attention needs to be paid to the distinct voice of the distance education student. The chapter provides some methodologies for collecting the student’s voice and gives consideration to how addressing the distance learners’ voice to enhance their learning experience might be most effectively accomplished.

Emerging information and communication technologies and learning models have triggered a new wave of educational innovation: electronic learning (E-learning). This study employs a hypercube innovation model to analyze the differences in technology and learning models in conventional (face-to-face) classroom learning and E-learning environments. The results of the analyses indicate that the innovation from traditional classroom learning to E-learning is radical for both the learner and instructor, leading to drastic changes in the technology and learning model. For education institutions, the technology is a fundamental change, while the learning model is reinforced. From the dynamic capability perspectives, a set of core capabilities needed for successfully exploiting E-learning is identified. These results provide insight for learners, instructors, and education institutions for enhancing their understanding of E-learning innovation and provide guidelines to help E-learning stakeholders adapt from conventional classrooms to E-learning environments.

The digital age demands re-thinking of traditional teaching and learning. Rapidly growing technological innovations in education force a paradigm shift from traditional teaching to engineering of learning. Thus, the main focus of the article is on the design, development, and implementation of effective learning environments through the use of Information and Communication Technologies in various formats: face-to-face, blended, and distance education. Engineering of learning requires new understanding and reconceptualization of traditional didactics toward e-Didactics in order to effectively design and skillfully align learning objectives, content, and assessment in the digital age classroom.

Education Courses

Distance education, mediated by Information and Communication Technologies, is increasingly present in the Brazilian educational scenario due to legislation incentives. In this modality, assessment to ensure effective learning, considering the particularities of distance education, represents a challenge to education managers. This research investigates the competences developed in two entirely distance-lectured courses in the Information Management degree of the Federal University of Paraná. For this purpose, the bibliographic and documental methodology was used to construct two assessment rubrics in the CoRubric platform, a data collection instrument for the research. Data are analyzed using statistical techniques. The results show the competences developed by students and those that need improvement, as well as the correlation between the characteristics of the courses and the learning and how much they affect the result. It concludes that the assessment rubrics constructed from CoRubric are capable of generating information for decision making in education.

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).

Economic and social activities rely on information and communication technologies. Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. Particularly with the advent of electronic information, adult learners need to manage technologies knowledgeably. Information Literacy Learning Models show learners’ interaction with information, and inform instructional design. Technology can inform and enrich this process, including supporting anytime/anywhere learning. Technology-enhanced adult education that addresses information literacy has to deal with several issues: e-resources, instructor acceptance and knowledge of technology, collaboration, and interactivity. Future trends are also mentioned.

In recent years, there has been an increased use of information and communication technologies and mathematical software in mathematics teaching. Numerous studies of the effectiveness of mathematical learning have shown the justification and usefulness of the implementation of new teaching aids. They also showed that learning with educational software has a great impact on students' achievement in the overall acquisition of mathematical knowledge during the school year as well as in the final exam at the end of primary education. Teaching realized by using computers and software packages is interesting for students, increases their interest and active participation. It is indisputable that the use of computers and mathematical software has great benefits that have been proven and presented in their works by many researchers of effective learning. It is also indisputable that one of the main tasks of teaching mathematics is to develop constructive thinking of students. Visualization and representation of mathematical laws are of great importance in the realization of mathematics teaching. They should be applied everywhere and whenever possible.
