A Hybrid Model for an E-learning System Which Develops Metacognitive Skills at Students
2013
One of the goals of academic education is to train students in view of acquiring metacognitive skills, thus becoming self-regulated learners prepared for for lifelong learning. The research in this area has proved that metacognition can be taught and learned and that self-regulation behavior can be guided and constrained by the features of the learning environment. In order to become an educational environment, attractive and at the same time efficient for the students and which would enable students to develop their metacognitive skills, the e-learning system needs continuous improvments. This paper presents a hybrid model of an e-learning system, MEM - Metacognitive E-learning system Mode…
Usability and emotional obstacles in e-learning
2007
Emotions are important in interaction and open a vital perspective to e-learning. E-learning courses have higher dropout rates than the traditional courses taught in classrooms, and it seems logical to ask whether emotional processes could explain a part of them. This research investigates how emotions are involved in students’ behavior during e-learning courses. As human emotions are not independent of human cognitions and appraisal, we also consider here how cognitive difficulties affect emotional stances in e-learning on the ground of feedback collected from an e-learning course. However, here the main focus of emotion relevant cognitive processes is related to competence and usability. …
E-Learning for widening participation in higher education

The purpose of this chapter is to conceptualize e-learning as a socio-cultural ecological system and to explore the empirical evidences of the objective and subjective conditions for using this concept in practice for increasing the participation in higher education. The components of this new concept are a systemic-constructivist competence, pedagogical leadership, life- and workforce learning, and self-evaluation. The objective conditions for its implementation are the integration of informal knowledge of information and communication technologies, implementing pedagogical leadership in tandems for developing students' intrapreneurship, self-evaluation, and self-enhancement. The subjectiv…
Oppimisen teknologiat osana oppimisen esteitä kohtaavien peruskoululaisten elämää
2017
Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia on merkittävä osa jokapäiväistä elämäämme. Nämä teknologiat ovat löytäneet tiensä kouluihin myös Suomessa, ja erilaisia oppimisen teknologioita onkin otettu ahkerasti käyttöön ympäri maata. Teknologian integroiminen osaksi opetusta ei kuitenkaan aina suju täysin ongelmitta. Laitteiden käytössä saattaa ilmetä ongelmia, ja vaikka infrastruktuuri teknologian käytölle olisikin olemassa, ovat verkkoyhteydet paikoitellen epävakaita. Näiden ongelmien kanssa painivat sekä opettajat että oppilaat. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on tutkia oppimisen teknologioiden vaikutuksia erityisesti oppimisen esteitä kohtaavien oppilaiden oppimiseen. Oppimisen esteitä, kuten erilaisi…

Barriers to open e-learning in public administrations
2016
Abstract This article presents a comparative study of the barriers to open e-learning in public administrations in Luxembourg, Germany, Montenegro and Ireland. It discusses the current state of open e-learning of public administration employees at the local government level and derives the barriers to such learning. This paper's main contribution is its presentation of an empirical set of barriers in the four European countries. The results allow informed assumptions about which barriers will arise in the forthcoming use of open-source e-learning technology, particularly open educational resources as means of learning. Furthermore, this study offers a contextualised barrier framework that a…

Empirical research in the school context
2016
Service-Learning is an educational methodology which combines learning processes and community service. The aim of this chapter is to spread the conceptualisation of an educational method only recently applied in Spain and to present an SL initiative in which the stages for its application are set forth. A theoretical review of literature is given in order to substantiate the foundations of SL methodology and there is later a case study to carry out a contextualised proposal for a real situation. The results lead to the conclusion that the SL proposed creates learning processes favouring pupils’ personal and ethical development. This is an innovative procedure that represents a change in th…
