Collaborative Learning and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Environments

2008

A focus on purely individual cognition has set a stage to social construction of knowledge. New learning environments, in many cases supported by computer technology, are often based on collaborating and sharing expertise. As a result research on Computer Supported Collaborative learning (CSCL) environments is a significant and growing field, which actively seeks new methods to resolve the challenges of human learning across diverse levels of interaction in a modern information society. In this chapter we will discuss the concept of collaborative learning and the issues involved in using information and communication technology to support collaborative learning. We begin with the definition…

Diseño de propuestas docentes con TIC para la enseñanza de la autorregulación en la educación superior

2009

Las exigencias de innovación de la docencia universitaria derivadas de los planteamientos del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior sitúan la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las competencias en el centro mismo de la tarea docente y, en especial, la competencia de autorregulación del aprendizaje. Así mismo, plantean que, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, elaborar una respuesta eficaz a los nuevos retos comporta que la tarea de innovación deba ser abordada colectivamente por un equipo de profesores. Este trabajo presenta un estudio sobre una propuesta de innovación para la enseñanza de las competencias de autorregulación del aprendizaje individual y de grupo,diseñada y desarrollada en colaboració…

The Use of Mobile Phones in Classrooms: A Systematic Review

2022

The inclusion and use of mobile phones in education is subject to two opposing arguments, one which defends and the other which opposes their use. This work has undertaken a systematic revision of scientific production to guide researchers in their enquiries into this subject. To achieve this, a total of 60 articles indexed to the Journal Citation Reports database between the years 2011 and 2020 have been analysed. These have been categorised in six specific areas: attitude and relationship with the mobile phone, communication, educational applications and classroom interventions, tension between agents, relationship between use and performance and problems deriving from their use. The conc…

Identifying the Optimum Social Site that Could Serve eLearning Purposes: A Preliminary Analysis

2020

Nowadays, an increasingly attractive research domain is represented by the integration of eLearning systems with the Social Media tools. However, identifying the proper Social Media platform to serve educational purposes could be an extremely hard task, mainly due to the variations from platform to platform. Thus, the first aim of this article is to identify the optimum typology that could be successfully integrated with eLearning systems. Moving forward, a classification of the top 20 most popular Social Media sites at global level in terms of their main objectives will be required in order to asses a specific typology of each of this. Thereafter, we propose a preliminary model of comparis…

Vocational education approach: New TEL settings—new prospects for teachers' instructional activities?

2013

This study focuses on vocational education teachers’ instructional activities in a new technology-enhanced learning (TEL) setting. A content analysis is applied to investigate teachers’ and students’ interactions in a 3D game context. The findings illustrate that when teachers’ and students’ interactions are mediated by a game, teachers seem to apply different discussion activities to empower vocational learning than they do in traditional classroom settings. Additionally, the present study shows that teachers spontaneously develop new ways of supporting vocational learning processes. In more detail, two main types of instructional activities were identified: a “knowledge-providing” approac…

Time and the Design of Web-Based Learning Environments

2005

Introduction Design can be seen as a form of creation, which involves complexity and synthesis (Goel & Pirolli, 1992; Schon, 1987). In a broad sense, anyone who designs is a designer. This means that unlike analysts or critics, designers put elements together and bring new creations into being. In so doing they deal with many variables and constraints, some initially known and some discovered through the design process (Etelapelto, 1998). According to Burgoon, Buller, and Woodall (1996), it is typically human to affect and change one's environment. However humans are affected by their physical surroundings as well. Schon (1987) perceives all human constructive and creative activity as desig…
