Learning Design for Future Higher Education – Insights From the Time of COVID-19

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic brought many challenges in higher education. All teaching and learning activities were moved online. Universities had to provide adapted solutions to facilitate learning and maintain students’ engagement. Online education implies creating new learning environments with the help of digital technologies. Beyond the process of acquisition of knowledge, teachers needed to facilitate cooperative learning, build positive relations, and reduce negative emotions. We provide some expert insights based on empirical observations on teaching and assessment practices connected with psychology models applied in education. The aim of the paper is to formulate specific learning design…

Evaluación de la reacción de alumnos y docentes en un modelo mixto de aprendizaje para Educación Superior

2014

Si bien en la educación presencial uno de los factores clave del éxito es el desempeño del docente dentro del salón de clase, es evidente que dentro de la educación en línea el papel del docente será distinto a su papel tradicional. Por ello, deben revalorarse los factores que garantizarán la calidad en este nuevo tipo de oferta educativa. En este estudio se muestran los resultados obtenidos de un análisis de caso de educación mixta (blended learning) para educación superior, y se enlistan los factores de éxito resultantes, así como algunas barreras para la adecuada implantación.

A Design-Oriented Analysis of Multimodality in English as a Foreign Language

2018

This empirical article investigates multimodality in English as a foreign language, both as seen in the use of multimodal texts as artefacts and pedagogical texts for learning, and through an analysis of the multimodal learning designs. We present observations from a year 10 classroom in Norway that worked with the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (Alexie, 2007). We explore a four-week teaching sequence, asking how different modes were involved when the educator designed literacy events around the novel, and how multimodality is present in the students’ meaning making. Our aim is to make explicit and discuss some of the silent literacy practices in English teaching at l…

Evaluating End-user Support : Validating the Use of Multiple Media in a CSCW Application

2006

Human-centred views on information systems are gaining more and more attention in IS community. The need to evaluate information systems from such a perspective is thus evident. In this paper, we exploit our earlier developed theoretical framework for evaluating end-user support in information systems, and demonstrate its usage in validating the use of multiple communication and collaboration media in a CSCW application. The evaluation is performed in terms of user perception in ISD process, users’ role in organizational information processing, and users’ behavioural nuances. Our study shows that a context specific theoretical framework is useful in validating the empirical results of syste…

Narrative Constitution for Instructional Game Design : The Semiotic-Cognitive Model of Narrative

Proposta di un framework per la progettazione didattica a scuola

2021

Il presente lavoro di ricerca ha inteso verificare la validità di una struttura predefinita per la stesura di un progetto didattico, precisamente quella fornita agli studenti durante il tirocinio. La progettazione è un fattore chiave nella mediazione tra insegnamento e apprendimento a scuola; le sue fasi investono sia il piano gestionale sia quello delle finalità generali, fino a quello dell’agire in classe e della valutazione. Nel tirocinio 684 futuri insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia e primaria, frequentanti il corso di laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria di Palermo negli anni 2016-2020, hanno utilizzato un frame di progettazione e valutazione didattica; esso è stato costruito te…

Opportunità educative della realtà aumentata nella formazione iniziale dei docenti

2022

Il presente contributo mira a esplorare gli atteggiamenti nei confronti della realtà aumentata dei docenti di scuola primaria e dell’infanzia in formazione iniziale. L’indagine ha coinvolto 299 studenti dell'Università di Palermo. Si tratta di studenti, prevalentemente donne (94%; n=281), iscritti al primo anno del corso di laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria. L'età dei partecipanti è compresa tra i 18 ei 38 anni, con un'età media di 20,57 anni (SD=3,4). All'inizio del secondo semestre dell’a.a. 2021/22, durante il corso di Tecnologie didattiche per la scuola primaria e dell’infanzia, è stato somministrato un questionario costituito da domande sia a risposta aperta che a risposta ch…

Reflecting through the designing: a brief analysis of the teacher’s planning process

2016

The aim of this work is to study the conditions in which teachers plan and execute educational actions in the classroom and to find out which difficulties they encountered during the development of the planned teaching action. The “concrete operations” that 15 teachers in the Palermo area had accomplished, were highlighted before, during and after every structured activity to promote the pupils’ oral expression. Specifically, the research, which is collocated in the case study, had the function of verifying forty descriptors. These were grouped in the five cardinal points of the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), with a motivated group of teachers that …

Comparing male and female students’ self-efficacy and self-regulation skills in two undergraduate mathematics course contexts

2018

International audience; Students' efficacy beliefs have a positive influence on students' academic achievement and retention, especially for female students. These beliefs are closely linked to students' ability to regulate their learning. In this quantitative study, students' self-efficacy and self-regulation of learning are compared in two university mathematics courses that differ in content but also in their pedagogical setting: one is a more traditional lecture-based course, and the other course is taught with the Extreme Apprenticeship (XA) method. The analysis is based on the same cohort of students in the two contexts (N=91). The results suggest that students have higher self-effica…

Progettare per lo sviluppo della competenza negli alunni: organizzazione didattica e controllo dei risultati

2016

Per l’insegnante un problema cruciale è come organizzare, a partire da particolari requisiti e vincoli, esperienze di apprendimento che contribuiscano ad accrescere negli allievi la comprensione delle acquisizioni culturali, la capacità di risolvere problemi con senso critico e autonomia, l’attitudine a operare scelte consapevoli. L’obiettivo del contributo è indagare le condizioni in cui gli insegnanti pianificano e realizzano un intervento didattico, quali difficoltà incontrano nelle fasi di sviluppo dell’azione programmata, quali esiti conseguono da attività di insegnamento ben progettate e condotte. In primo luogo, è stato osservato il lavoro di organizzazione didattica di un gruppo di …
