The study that formed the basis of this chapter aimed to understand the practices mediating the quality of an online learning program from the perspective of educators in transition from face-to-face to online learning and teaching. A narrative community of enquiry was established for the period of the study, and seven academics from a single institution volunteered to participate in a six-month conversation about the sites for practice, challenges and curriculum decisions made while teaching online. A “practice architectures” perspective was adopted. The study found that “designing and redesigning” was not limited as supposed to a single transformation from face-to-face teaching to an online learning space. Rather, it was an ongoing professional practice, regardless of how novice or experienced and “tech savvy” the academic. The digital space is rapidly evolving, as are the professional learning demands of teacher educators. “Ambitious teacher practices” are permanently required.

ABSTRACT This article addresses language teacher education, considering the relevance of implicit and explicit theories, methodological choices, teacher representations and practices. Specifically, the purpose is to report and discuss studies developed by two researchers who work with narratives and focus on language teacher development, teacher literacy (Kleiman & Matencio, 2005) and identity construction (Barkhuizen, 2017). Thus, a panoramic view of work in progress is offered, and the field for novice and experienced educators in Brazil is problematized. As a result, the authors understand that teacher awareness-raising and transformations have been successfully enabled, which is confirmed by the several deriving publications mentioned.

Secondary Outcomes

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Scholars and faculty in the Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) track of our institution’s biomedical science graduate school reported a lack of satisfaction with our learning management system (LMS); specifically, they reported frustration with the amount of time spent locating learning assignment guidelines, course readings, and submission portals. As a result, we created a new master template to address their concerns. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A new template was created within the LMS based on scholar and faculty feedback. Surveys and other tools have been used to determine student and faculty satisfaction as well as measure secondary outcomes of time spent in the online learning space. Some key changes include a redesigned menu and submission portal. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: There was an increase in satisfaction with the new LMS template. Next steps include systematically rolling out the new template, with continued solicitation of feedback from all stakeholders. All courses in the CTS track will be converted to the new template by summer quarter 2020. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The strengths of this project include the multidisciplinary team-based approach to improving course satisfaction and usability, as well as the use of innovative technologies. Additionally, the analytical capabilities of the LMS will be maximized in the new template, which was a shortcoming of the previously available template.

Objective View

Based on online survey data of 225 students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education (May 2020), men accounted for 74.7% and women accounted for 25.3%; the paper analyzes the effectiveness of students' online learning in the context of the covid epidemic 19. The results show that online teaching of students has somewhat met the expectations of learning, bringing the certain convenience in saving travel time, having more time to study documents,... However, online learning also shows that there are still many difficulties from the means of learning, learning space, the process of interacting with others. Collaboration with teachers leads to the effectiveness of online learning, which is not as effective as traditional methods. Therefore, research on online learning efficiency of students will contribute an objective view on the state of online learning in the context of the covid epidemic 19.

 ملخص البحث:لقد وَفَّرَتْ الجامعة الإسلامية وسَهَّلّت كل الطرق لتدريب الأساتذة على استعمال أحدث التقنيات؛ إذ تولى مركز اللغات والتنمية العلمية بالتعاون مع مركز البحوث تدريب بعض الأساتذة من خارج الجامعة الإسلامية العالمية بماليزيا، وهي: كلية الإنسانية الجامعية بولاية قدح بماليزيا، في تطبيقات التعليم الإليكترونيّ مثل مجموعات الأخبار و (نظام ضبط التعلم)، وهو ما يعرف ب(ل. م. س)، ولقد تم الشرح التنويريِّ للوفد الزائر من أساتذة وطلاب وطالبات المعهد الإسلامي بتايلاند. تركز الدراسة على وصف تجربة تدريب الأساتذة في التعليم الإليكترونيِّ (خاصة اللغة العربية) بمركز اللغات، وتدريب أساتذة كلية الإنسانية الجامعية بقدح. وأهمية هذه الورقة تنبع من عدم وجود دراسة من قبل في مركز اللغات اهتمت بتطبيقات التعليم الإليكترونيّ في تعليم اللغة العربية. وقد اُسْتخدمت المقابلاتُ والملاحظة لجمع المعلومات. بعد إجراء الدراسة والمقابلات توصلت الدراسة إلى أن المواد التي ضمتها مجموعة الأخبار تعد مواد غزيرة، وعلى المعلم الاطلاع على المواد قبل أن يشرحها للطلاب، وأن مجموعة الأخبار قد ساعدت على تحسين ظروف التدريب، وتحسين استعمال المعلم لتطبيقات التعليم الإليكترونيّ في تعليم اللغة العربية في تدريسه، وخاصةً اتجاه الجامعة نحو الاهتمام بالتعليم الإليكترونيّ.الكلمات المفتاحية: مجموعات الأخبار- الإنترنيت- مجموعة أخبار معدلة- مجموعة أخبار غير معدلة- المتصفح.Abstract:The paper intends to describe the experience in training the language teachers in learning how to use the online Learning Management System (LMS). Interview method was used to gather the data. The analysis of the gathered data revealed that the news category proved to be very resourceful and that the teacher should initially read them before teaching them to the students. It is noted that the use of LMS in teaching has improved the training significantly.Keywords: News Category- Internet– Corrected News Category– Users.Abstrak:Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia telah menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan untuk tujuan latihan tenaga pengajar tentang penggunaan teknologi terkini. Ini terbukti  apabila Pusat Bahasa & Pembangunan Akademik dengan kerjasama Pusat Kajian telah menganjurkan sebuah sesi latihan untuk tenaga pengajar dari luar universiti iaitu Kolej Universiti Insaniah di Kedah tentang aplikasi pengajaran secara elektronik contohnya sekumpulan berita dan sistem pengukuhan pembelajaran yang dikenali sebagai (LMS). Kajian ini tertumpu kepada pengalaman latihan tenaga pengajar tentang pengajaran secara elektronik (khusunya bahasa Arab) di Pusat Bahasa dan di Kolej Universiti Insaniah di Kedah. Kepentingan kajian ini terserlah apabila didapati tiada sebarang kajian seumpamanya yang dibuat sebelum ini di Pusat Bahasa & Pembangunan Akademik. Kajian ini menggunakan temubual sebagai instrumen pemgumpulan maklumat. Setelah dijalankan kajian serta temubual, ia mendapati subjek yang mengandungi sekumpulan berita dianggap sebagai sarat dan padat di mana tenaga pengajar perlu menelitinya terlebih dahulu sebelum menerangkannya kepada pelajar. Juga didapati sekumpulan berita telah membantu memperbaiki suasana latihan dan meningkatkan penggunaan aplikasi pengajaran secara elektronik dalam pengajaran bahasa Arab, seterusnya memenuhi aspirasi universiti yang mengutamakan pengajaran secara elektronik.Kata kunci: Sekumpulan Berita– Internet– Sekumpulan Berita Yang Diubah Suai- Sekumpulan Berita Yang Tidak Diubah Suai– Yang Dibaca.

Negative Feelings

This article deals with the particularities two pre-service English language teachers have due to they have dyslexia. This study’s main intention was to understand how the participants constructed their identities as English teachers while dealing with discrimination, negative feelings, and not understanding teachers. We collected the data through interviews that served to write the two pre-service teachers’ narratives. The narrative analysis showed that pre-service English language teachers who suffer from apparently superficial difficulties must hide most of the time to avoid discrimination. We conclude that teacher educators’ role is essential in identity construction processes, especially when pre-service teachers face certain conditions that may affect their performance as language learners and as language teachers. Additionally, it was evident that resilient teachers can make strength from their weaknesses.
