The Moment

Nowadays, the era that we live in can be described as the Information Age, sometimes even as the Knowledge Age. No matter what area of science and technology we look at, it is obvious that we are dealing with an ‘information overflow’ without precedent in the history of mankind. In this context, Educational Sciences are no exception, and recent advances in this field, considering Computer-Aided Training, would have been unthinkable, unmanageable, and unattainable without the support offered by modern information and communication technologies, in the sense of Learning Management Systems. In its turn, Computer-Aided Training via sustainability educational index is integrated into Knowledge Society, where it plays an important role, for educational data-dependent actors, in decision-making, problem-solving, analyzing trends, understanding their customers, and doing research, being closely linked with pedagogical requirements in decades. Through this paper we aim to show that, at the moment, it is appropriate not to rely only on classical training, or on the contrary to deviate too much from it, embracing only computer-assisted training. It is appropriate to be flexible and to choose to carry out the pedagogical act using both variants equally, by alternating them in a modular aspect.

The political instrumentalization of the history of Ukraine carried out by the Russian Federation in the framework of the information war against Ukraine is covered in this article. This instrumentalization is exercised through media communication employing historical and political myths and narratives to vindicate Russia’s aggressive actions. The latest information and communication technologies used by the Kremlin in the information war against Ukraine have been identified in this paper. Such destructive efforts often derail Ukrainian-Polish relations, which are particularly sensitive to historical and political issues. The reasons for the drawbacks of the Ukrainian authorities in counteracting the information aggression on the part of the Russian Federation are distinguished, and the measures that would contribute to an effective response to such aggression are outlined.

In recent years, the Turkish agricultural sector has had serious problems, such as lower yields, higher input prices, higher production costs and loss of competitiveness in foreign markets, all leading to reductions in both crop and animal production. At the same time, measures such as curtailment of state financial support to farmers and farming businesses, coupled with the increasing costs of production inputs including seeds, fertilizers, sprays, machinery and decreasing crop prices have negatively affected the sector and primarily the farmers. But, besides taking measures affecting structural change, it is also necessary to establish ways of ensuring accurate information exchange between farmers, agri-food industries and institutions for research and development if productivity and improvements in the competitive power of Turkish farmers within foreign and domestic markets are to be assured. The paper outlines the current situation concerning information and communication technologies (ICT) and agriculture in Turkey and the challenges facing the rural sector in striving towards a knowledge society.

This paper explores the uses of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the universities of Castilla y León. We believe that the integration of ICT in the universities is essential for the development of a university system in line with the requirements of the knowledge society. This piece of work must be placed within a research that has analyzed the use of ICT in higher education in the universities of Castilla y León. In our view, the uses of ICT in higher education are one of the main key indicators for its level of integration. With this research, whose goals relate to ascertaining the level of integration of ICT in the universities of Castilla y León, we seek to identify the factors that influence the use-avoidance of ICT by the professors, and to describe the uses that they do of ICT in the development of their profession (teaching and research).For this reason, we have conducted an ex-postfacto research with a descriptive and improvement-seeking motivation. Even though the results of this research highlight the widespread use of ICTs within the universities, they also point out that this use is superficial and indicate a lack of actual integration of ICT in the universities of Castilla y León. El presente trabajo se enmarca dentro de una investigación que ha analizado la utilización que se hacen de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en la educación superior en los centros universitarios de Castilla y León. Bajo nuestra perspectiva los usos de las TIC por parte del docente se conforman como un indicador esencial para conocer el grado de integración que éstas tienen dentro de las universidades. De esta forma los objetivos principales de la presente investigación se encuentran en relación con la indagación sobre el nivel de integración de las TIC existente en los centros universitarios de Castilla y León, tratando de identificar los elementos que influyen tanto en la utilización, como en el no uso de las TIC por parte del docente universitario, para posteriormente hacer un descripción sobre los usos a los que el profesorado destina las TIC en el desarrollo de su actividad profesional, tanto en el ámbito docente, como en el investigador. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo una investigación ex-postfacto, con una orientación descriptiva y de búsqueda de la mejora, cuyos resultados inciden en una generalización en la utilización de las TIC dentro de la educación superior de Castilla y León, aunque se ha de señalar que esta utilización se encuentra referida a unos usos superficiales de las TIC, lo que denota una falta de integración real de las TIC en las universidades de Castilla y León.

Teaching Learning

Today, life is more complex and difficult due to uncertainties in society. Liquid life (Bauman, 2006) is frenetic, rapidly changing and highly influenced from information and communication technologies, and forces subjects to adapt to group behavior avoiding exclusion. Human beings are experimenting with the digital age and the pervasiveness of computers and IT/ICT equipment, which are influencing learning and knowledge construction. This raises questions in regard to a privileged role for digital competences in the knowledge society, whether or not there is a framework for digital competence assessment, and possible hints, suggestions, experiments, protocols, or curricula helping teachers in hitting this target with students. This paper answers these questions, describing the evolution of psycho-pedagogical paradigms and their comparisons. A framework for digital competence assessment is proposed and teaching activities are suggested. A proposal of a teaching-learning process called OTS (Open Teaching Process) is also presented.

In this chapter the authors introduce the digital-divide concept to the reader, bring its different definitions, and describe the short history of the problem. The basic figures and facts, which characterize the information and communication technologies’ usage in different countries and regions, are given as well. Also, basic indicators that allow the monitoring of the country’s advancement on the way to bridging the digital divide are stated. The main purpose for the authors was to show that the digital divide is not only (and not as much) a technical problem, but rather a social and political one. Hence, the approaches to this problem decision, both in the world community as a whole and in separate countries, are described.

Knowledge Society (KS) is influenced by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), economic changes, political, cultural and social concepts allowing access to other levels of welfare and progress. However, the differences in terms of access and ICT skills between different groups in society have created a problem of digital divide. To overcome this problem, models and strategies are required to achieve a greater impact on the population and that population can develop skills that enhance inclusion in the society knowledge. This work proposes an Interactive Ecosystem of digital literacy that aims to set a new educational paradigm approach to encourage different learning communities to uses new technologies of information and communication that allows them to be more competitive in today's world and thus shorten the digital divide. Finally, a case study is shown as an implementation of the ecosystem throughout an architectural model in the state of Aguascalientes, México.

The present chapter provides a conceptual framework for the newest digital communication tools and for the practices they encourage, stressing the communication opportunities they offer and the limitations they impose. In this chapter, Internetbased communication technologies are regarded as the most recent step in the development of communication technologies. This approach helps have a broad perspective on the changes information and communication technologies (ICT) are bringing along in the social practices of so called knowledge society. As a matter of fact, these changes need to be considered within an “ecological” approach, that is, an approach that provides a very wide overview on the whole context (both in synchronic terms and in diachronic ones) where ICT are spreading. In the second part of the chapter, the authors present two examples of relevant social practices that are challenged by the most recent ICT, namely journalism (news market) and Internet search engines.
