Dispositifs interculturels à distance
2008
In the context of intercultural online communication, certain dimensions of ICT we might call “figures sensibles” (Boutaud 2006) can be critically useful to understand co-construction, especially when these dimensions are also constitutive of an educational context. Thus, transparency, performance and conviviality help us interpret what can be called collaborative online interaction. Dispositive memory thrives on these dimensions and completes them. It explains in part the continuity of socially constructed identity of the community in question. It is the community aspect which in our context imposes itself despite cultural differences.
Attālināto mācību procesa elementi un to izmantošanas iespējas pamatskolas (5.-9. klase) svešvalodu stundās klātienē
2021
Diplomdarba temats “Attālināto mācību procesa elementi un to izmantošanas iespējas pamatskolas (5.-9. Klase) svešvalodu stundās klātienē” ir aktuāls, jo kopš 2020. gada globālās pandēmijas sākšanās, mācību process daudzās pasaules valstīs ir ticis pārcelts pilnībā uz attālinātu. Svešvalodu apguve pamatskolas klasēs pirmo reizi noris attālināti. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt attālināto mācību procesa elementus, kurus būtu ieteicams efektīvi izmantot arī klātienes mācībās svešvalodu apguvei pamatskolas klasēs (5.-9. klase). Darbā ir noskaidrotas attālināto mācību, pašvadītas mācīšanās un mācību motivācijas jēdzienu definīcijas, kā arī iezīmēti attālināto mācību galvenie elementi. Fokusējoties uz sv…

Experience in Implementing Distance Learning Technologies in an International Context
2021
The relevance of the study is determined by socio-cultural processes, which necessitate the revision of methods for organising the educational process, in particular the transition to distance learning, and the establishment of correlations with international standards. The purpose of the article is to identify the features, advantages, and disadvantages of distance learning, along with the prospects for development in accordance with the comparative analysis of Ukrainian and foreign experience with distance education. Methods and techniques varied depending on the tasks at each research stage, thus, the method of a targeted selection, the comparative method, the generalisation and systemat…
Distance education and learning processes. A survey at University of Catania during the COVID-19 pandemic.
2021
The emergency situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic required all Italian universities to implement alternative teaching strategies to traditional face-to-face lessons. At the University of Catania, this situation prompted the start of distance learning paths in a synchronous mode at the very beginning of the emergency. At the same time, the lecturers were encouraged to video-record the lessons in order to make them available to students also in asynchronous mode. On the basis of this emergency situation, an investigation was immediately launched to identify the consequences of the new teaching methods on student learning processes; the research began in the first phase of the lockdown i…

Enseñanza mutua en línea: una investigación piloto realizada con los estudiantes universitarios
2023
In academic year 2020-2021, a pilot research was carried out on distance peer teaching, which was hypothesized as effective tool to reduce some of the negative effects that distance teaching, imposed by the Coronavirus pandemic, caused among students enrolled in the first year of the three-year degree course in Educational Sciences at the University of Palermo during the academic year 2019-2020. Nineteen students attending the second year of this course, after having participated in a specific training activity (15 h), from March to June 2021 helped 35 fellow students to advance their careers by catching up as many first-year exams as possible through distance support. In July 2021, the gro…

2022
The study examined how 807 undergraduate Italian students coped with synchronous, asynchronous, and blended learning environments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Strengths and weaknesses of online learning were collected via an electronic platform (SurveyMonkey) and then categorized by grounded theory analysis using ATLAS.ti 8.0 software. The results showed technical, practical, relational, organizational, and transformative features of online learning emerged, differentiated in synchronous, asynchronous, and blended modes. Emotional aspects also affected the evaluation of distance learning because depression and fear were more frequent among the students who found distance learning to be an …
DISTANCE LEARNING AND COVID-19 FROM STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVE: DO THEY HAVE THE SKILLS TO DEAL WITH THE UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION?
2021
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 1,6 billion children worldwide were forced to discontinue face-to-face education and continue with distance learning (OECD, 2020). To many students as well as teachers this was their first experience with distance learning. Students' ability to adapt to distance learning varies and depends on different factors, including individual factors such as the ability to cope with new situations, solve problems and manage their own learning process. In order to successfully deal with the new circumstances in education, it is necessary to work at all levels - including the level of policy development, level of schools as organizations, and at the indivi…
