Development of pedagogical design in technology-rich environments for language teaching and learning

2015

This study explores the development of pedagogical design for language teaching and learning in increasingly technology-rich environments. More specifically, it focuses on the process of design, enactment and analysis of language and literacy pedagogies in technology-rich environments. Two substudies are reported in five articles, each of which approaches pedagogical design from a different perspective. The first substudy examined (a) what pedagogical choices language students make in regard to learning objectives, working modes, materials and assessment, and (b) what kind of experiences, attitudes and perceptions were behind these choices. The second substudy focused on developing a design…

Cross-lagged relationships between home learning environment and academic achievement in Chinese

2015

Abstract We examined (a) the cross-lagged relationships between the home learning environment and academic achievement in Chinese, and (b) whether parents’ socioeconomic status (SES) and child's gender moderate the relations. One hundred seventy-seven Chinese children were followed from Grade 1 to Grade 2 and were assessed on reading and mathematics. Their parents also responded to a questionnaire assessing the frequency of engaging in different home literacy and numeracy activities. Results showed that reading ability in Grade 1 negatively predicted informal home literacy activities in Grade 2. In turn, mathematics ability in Grade 1 negatively predicted formal home numeracy activities in …

Play as Part of Learning - Learning as Part of Play

2015

Flexible and individual learning and teaching have repeatedly been a topic of conversation in the last few years. Teachers and parents as well as pupils hope that a child would be seen as an individual in school, in such a pedagogical environment where a child's daily life and his inherent way to play and learn form a coherent whole. This research article is based on a pedagogical development project of learning environments. The research target is a school in a mid- sized town in western Finland. The school has a pre- school group and three joint 1st and 2nd grade classes. The focus of this research article is the school's way to take into account individual and flexible learning and teach…

Zarządzanie wiedzą projektową w kontekście społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu

2016

Project knowledge and relationships with stakeholders are treated as a po- tential source of project success, and thus such as a source of competitiveness. This means that there is a need for research into these issues, especially in the context of measuring a competitive advantage and potential and actual benefits of the acquisition of project knowledge and relationships with stakeholders in the context of corporate social responsibility.

Emotional Dimensions of User Experience ? A User Psychological Analysis

2014

User psychology is a human–technology interaction research approach that uses psychological concepts, theories, and findings to structure problems of human–technology interaction. As the notion of user experience has become central in human–technology interaction research and in product development, it is necessary to investigate the user psychology of user experience. This analysis of emotional human–technology interaction is based on the psychological theory of basic emotions. Three studies, two laboratory experiments, and one field study are used to investigate the basic emotions and the emotional mind involved in user experience. The first and second experiments study the measurement of…

Processing and effectiveness of formative feedback to increase comprehension and learning of conceptual knowledge in digital environments

2019

Los estudiantes de educación secundaria participan diariamente en tareas académicas diseñadas para desarrollar habilidades de lectura y facilitar la adquisición de conocimientos. Habitualmente, los docentes suelen pedir a sus estudiantes que lean textos expositivos y respondan preguntas sobre sus contenidos (e.g., Ness, 2011; Sánchez y García, 2015; Sánchez, García y Rosales, 2010), ya que estas tareas respaldan la comprensión y el aprendizaje de conceptos e ideas (e.g., Anmarkrud, McCrudden, Bråten y Strømsø, 2013; Cerdán, Gilabert y Vidal-Abarca, 2011; Lewis y Mensink, 2012; Roelle y Berthold, 2017). En estas situaciones, los estudiantes han de aplicar tanto procesos cognitivos de compres…

Measuring phenotypes in fluctuating environments

2020

Despite considerable theoretical interest in how the evolution of phenotypic plasticity should be shaped by environmental variability and stochasticity, how individuals actually respond to these aspects of the environment within their own lifetimes remains unclear. We propose that this understanding has been hampered by experimental approaches that expose organisms to fluctuating environments (typically treatments where fluctuations in the environment are cyclical vs. erratic) for a pre‐determined duration, while ensuring that the mean environment over that the entire exposure period is invariable. This approach implicitly assumes that responses to the mean and variance/predictability in th…

Collaborative Design Rational and Social Creativity in Cultures of Participation

2011

The rise in social computing has facilitated a shift from consumer cultures, focused on producing finished media to be consumed passively, to cultures of participation, where people can access the means to participate actively in personally meaningful problems. These developments represent unique and fundamental opportunities and challenges for rethinking and reinventing design rationale and creativity, as people acclimate to taking part in computer-mediated conversations of issues and their solutions. Grounded in our long-term research exploring these topics, this paper articulates arguments, describes and discusses conceptual frameworks and system developments (in the context of three cas…
