DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF COLLABORATIVE LEARNING SPACE CONNECTING TEACHERS AND REFUGEE CHILDREN - A DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH STUDY
2020
Learning the German language is one of the most critical challenges for refugee children in Germany. It is a prerequisite to allow communication and integration into the educational system. To solve the underlying problem, we conceptualized a set of principles for the design of language learning systems to support collaboration between teachers and refugee children, using a Design Science Research approach. The proposed design principles offer functional and non-functional requirements of systems, including the integration of open educational resources, different media types to develop visual and audio narratives that can be linked to the cultural and social background. This study also illu…
Learning to learn in the university studies of English language teacher trainees
2016
Oppimaan oppiminen on ajankohtainen aihe ja tärkeä osa oppimisprosessia. Esimerkiksi on tärkeää, että oppilas tietää miten oppii parhaiten ja reflektoi oppimistaan. On tutkittu, että oppimaan oppimisen avulla oppiminen on tehokkaampaa ja sillä on myös vaikutusta opettajan työhön. Siksi erityisesti tulevien opettajien tulisi perehtyä oppimaan oppimisen käsitteeseen tulevina oppimisen asiantuntijoina. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitin, mikä on oppimaan oppimisen asema suomalaisen yliopiston englannin kielen opinnoissa aineenopettajaopiskelijoiden keskuudessa. Kysyin, miten oppilaat ymmärsivät oppimaan oppimisen käsitteen, miten opiskelijat tunsivat itsensä oppijoina ja mitä strategioita he käyttiv…
Which Factors Modulate Letter Position Coding in Pre-literate Children?
2021
One of the central landmarks of learning to read is the emergence of orthographic processing (i.e., the encoding of letter identity and letter order): it constitutes the necessary link between the low-level stages of visual processing and the higher-level processing of words. Regarding the processing of letter position, many experiments have shown worse performance in various tasks for the transposed-letter pair judge-JUDGE than for the orthographic control jupte-JUDGE. Importantly, 4-y.o. pre-literate children also show letter transposition effects in a same-different task: TZ-ZT is more error-prone than TZ-PH. Here, we examined whether this effect with pre-literate children is related to …
STIMULATING THE STUDENTS’ CREATIVITY IN THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASS
2010
Throughout one’s life time each individual is required to find solutions to different problems by carrying out new operations, by combining the data and knowledge available, or by joining together disparate pieces of information. The students’ creative potential must be formed through teaching techniques that stimulate their resourcefulness: the essay, the scientific paper, the research project and the portfolio, which can be used as useful complementary evaluation methods as well.
The dynamics of expertise acquisition in sport: The role of affective learning design
2015
Objectives: The aim of this position paper is to discuss the role of affect in designing learning experiences to enhance expertise acquisition in sport. The design of learning environments and athlete development programmes are predicated on the successful sampling and simulation of competitive performance conditions during practice. This premise is captured by the concept of representative learning design, founded on an ecological dynamics approach to developing skill in sport, and based on the individual-environment relationship. In this paper we discuss how the effective development of expertise in sport could be enhanced by the consideration of affective constraints in the representativ…
DinosARs - Learning with the help of augmented reality
2019
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2019 A two-dimensional way of interacting with learning material has been the norm fora long time. We’ve read books, taken notes and been taught from a blackboard sinceyouth, and has for most of us worked out just fine, but we are all different. We havethose visual learners, those who learn through seeing things, auditory learners, thosewho learn best through hearing and kinesthetic learners, those who learn by doing.Augmented reality can provide many unique affordances that can deliver a learningexperience that can benefit all learning types. Augmented reality can utilize both vi-suals, sound, and interactivi…
¿Influye la Retroalimentación Correctiva en el Uso de la Retroalimentación Elaborada en un Entorno Digital?
2019
Los entornos digitales permiten proporcionar retroalimentación correctiva de verificación de respuestas (KR: correcto/incorrecto) o de respuesta correcta (KCR: la respuesta correcta es X), junto con retroalimentación elaborada (EF: explicaciones). Es frecuente asumir que los estudiantes procesan la EF, aunque investigaciones recientes demuestran que eso no siempre es así, debido probablemente a la retroalimentación correctiva proporcionada junto con la EF. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la decisión voluntaria de acceder a EF en función de la retroalimentación KR y KCR recibida inmediatamente tras responder preguntas de un texto de ciencias. Estudiantes de secundaria recibieron retr…
Inlärningen av de svenska tonaccenterna hos finska S2-talare – automatiseras uttalet?
2016
Swedish has two tone accents, accents 1 and 2. There are approximately 350 minimal pairs such as ánd-en (duck) and ànde-n (spirit) differentiated only by tone accent. As all stressed words in Swedish have a tone accent, tones are important for achieving nativelike pronunciation. However, this is a challenging task for L2 speakers. In Swedish, the tone accents are potentially difficult both acoustically (cf. phonetic realization) and lexically (cf. morphological distribution). The present study focuses on the learning of Central Swedish tones by advanced L2 speakers with Finnish as their L1 (n = 10). The aim is to reveal if the learning of tones is a realistic goal for advanced adult learner…
Prior test experience produces changes of t-patterns spatial distribution in the elevated plus maze test
2014
Aim of present research was to investigate in male Wistar rats whether a prior elevated plus maze experience modifies the temporal structure of the behavioral response following a retest applied after 24h. Video files were coded by means of a software coder and event log files generated for each subject were analyzed by means of a specific software for temporal pattern analysis (Theme). Present research shows a clear reduction of the number of t-patterns from trial one to trial two. This reduction is provoked by the disappearance of t-patterns consisting of behavioral elements occurring in the unprotected zones of the maze. The results suggest that the previous experience in the maze causes…
