Formación del alumnado y prácticas de uso de los dispositivos móviles en centros españoles de Educación Secundaria

2018

El presente trabajo delimita el campo de estudio sobre la construcción de la identidad del individuo como ciudadano en la sociedad digital. Contexto en el que estudiamos los modelos formativos orientados a mejorar el uso responsable de las tecnologías en centros de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria españoles. El trabajo de campo se aborda mediante un estudio de casos múltiples (tres institutos públicos). Entre los instrumentos para la recogida de información destacamos las revisiones bibliográficas, el análisis de contenido, el cuestionario y las entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesionales de la educación. En esta comunicación presentamos un avance de los resultados conseguidos sobre las p…

Actual and Potential Pedagogical Use of Tablets in Schools

2013

This study reviews the potential of tablet technology for teaching and learning. In autumn 2012, we conducted a focused survey comprising quantitative and qualitative questions with Finnish teachers (N = 171, from 54 schools). We focused on perceived pedagogical opportunities and the actualized pedagogical potential of tablets at schools. The survey results indicate that the actual usefulness of tablets in schools was significantly less than what teachers perceived as the pedagogical potential. However, the results demonstrate the positive impact these devices are having on teaching and learning, as well as prompting changes in pedagogical perspectives. Teachers stated that tablets can dive…

"Classflow" programmatūra 7.klases skolēnu iesaistīšanās angļu valodas kā pirmās svešvalodas mācību stundās palielināšanai

2018

Tehnoloģiju integrēšana un to regulāra izmantošana izglītībā, un jo īpaši, angļu valodas kā svešvalodas apguvē, šobrīd ir viens no būtiskākajiem skolotāju izaicinājumiem. Moderno tehnoloģiju izmantošana izglītībā stimulē skolēnu vēlmi būt iesaistītiem mācību procesā, palielina katra atsevišķi skolēna iesaistīšanos, kā arī tuvina tradicionālo angļu valodas kā svešvalodas mācību stundu reālajai dzīvei. Diplomdarbs tika izstrādāts ar mērķi noskaidrot, kā ‘Classflow’ programmatūras integrēšanas angļu valodas kā pirmās svešvalodas mācību stundās ietekmē 7.klases skolēnu iesaistīšanos angļu valodas mācību stundās. Darbā tika izmantotas šādas datu vākšanas metodes: aptauja, anketa, novērošana un s…

Designing New learning Environments for Music - Implementing the MobiKid experience

2009

In 2006-2008 a mobile software application MobiKid for children aged 3-6 was developed to allow children to sing, record and listen to the songs independently at home. They could even forward the recorded songs to be downloaded from a server by their teacher and relatives. With not yet completed user interface (UI) features the program offered children a motivating context for singing and musical creativity. The child-centered MobiKid UI was developed collaboratively by different experts of music education and software engineering. MobiKid pilot study was expected to reflect the preliminary requirements for child-centered software and usability features for further development among informa…

Designing for virtual mobility: Potentials and caveats

2019

This paper reflects on the joint pilot development and implementation of an international master level online course in Educational Design by three universities from different European countries. The pilot targeted curriculum internationalization and provision of international learning experiences to students with less mobility opportunities through online learning and use of technology. The key focus was on connecting students from different countries by collaborative learning and working on an authentic task in the professional domain of their study - educational media design - via a joint platform and digital media. In small international groups, students collaboratively developed mobile…

“Ihmisiltä poissa” – away from people : language learning spaces in Finnish as a foreign language students’ chat during the covid-19 pandemic

2020

Smart phones enable learners to practice language use in different spaces and environments beyond the classroom. Finnish language students in two North American universities participated in a collaborative chat project as part of their second-year language course. In this article we analyze how students' chat entries reflected their learning in different domestic spaces during the global covid-19 pandemic in spring 2020. nonPeerReviewed

Test Methods for the Evaluation of Manufacturing Mobile Manipulator Safety

2016

International audience; This paper presents a test methodology for evaluating the safety of mobile manipulators (robot arms mounted on mobile bases). This methodology addresses the safety concerns relevant to modern, agile, manufacturing practices in which mobile manipulators will play a significant role. We consider 1) the unique capabilities and anticipated uses of mobile manipulators and 2) the potential exemptions and special cases in which their behavior may be unpredictable or otherwise contrary to the safety requirements. Finally, we define metrics for assessing compliance with functional safety requirements and anticipated performance.

Validation and Extension of the Usability Heuristics for Mobile Map Applications

2016

Heuristic usability evaluation is light but efficient method for finding usability problems. In this paper, we report the process of validation and further development of the previously introduced usability heuristics for mobile map applications. The validation began by testing the heuristics by 58 evaluators who used them for usability evaluation of four different map applications. The evaluators also filled a questionnaire about the understandability of the heuristics. The amount, severity and quality of the problems found with the heuristics were reviewed and the heuristics’ understandability analyzed. As a result, it was shown that the heuristics were efficient for finding usability pro…

Orientation Aids for Mobile Maps

2015

Using mobile maps to represent urban, work, or entertainment environments offers new possibilities to plan and carry out tasks. One potentially critical problem in mobile map usage is the misalignment between the user's frame of reference and the frame of reference of the map. In the experiment reported here, three different ‘orientation aids’ were tested in the context of restricted space, such as a large factory hall. The aim of the study was to find out how user interface design can help the user mentally align misaligned frames of reference for efficient mobile map use. The results of the experiment (N = 12) suggest using a ‘you are here’ marker and landmark highlighting, while canonica…
