Smart Educational Process Based on Personal Learning Capabilities

Towards new cultures of learning: Personal learning environments as a developmental perspective for improving higher education language courses

2015

AbstractThis article provides readers with an understanding of the concept of the personal learning environment (PLE). It suggests that PLEs can be used in two complementary ways: as a developmental lens for integrating ICT and creating new pedagogical practices and digital literacies for academic language learning, and as a context in which learners can practise and develop core skills such as digital literacies, team and knowledge work, and interactional skills – skills that are needed for success in today’s knowledge economy. The article places PLEs within the broader development related to the cultural changes brought on by the proliferation of Web 2.0 technologies – participation, team…

Percepción de una comunidad educativa sobre el desarrollo profesional docente en la educación 2.0

This article reflects on teachers’ professional development in an increasingly technological and informational society. We underline the need for digital literacy in the context of education 2.0 and highlight the challenges that teachers face in transforming new information and communication technologies (NICTs) into learning and knowledge technologies (LKTs) to enhance their professional development. This research has been conducted in a grouped rural school, constituted as a learning community (CA). It consists of two centers whose main difference rests on their use of NICTs: either advanced or preliminary. We have applied the communicative-critical methodology, starting with a case study…

Classroom Orchestration: Balancing between Personal and Collaborative Learning Processes

2014

The nature of vocational education needs has changed. In authentic vocational classroom contexts, there is a rising need to develop new ways to integrate ongoing and overlapping processes of students' personal learning environments and collaborative knowledge construction. However, there is currently very little knowledge about how teachers integrate these two approaches in arranging learning. This creates new challenges for teachers when creating instructional activities, especially regarding teacher-student interactions. This case study illuminates teachers' instructional activities in empowering the students' knowledge construction in a technology-enhanced learning setting. The results s…
