Online teaching has grown exponentially as a result of COVID-19. Universities and teaching institutions the world over have had to adapt their curricula to this new teaching and learning model. The main goal of this study is to analyse various teaching methodologies used on a sample of university students to analyse their effectiveness in terms of satisfaction, competencies and academic performance. The results suggest that methodologies that include greater student-teacher interaction or the use of videoconferencing for classes and problem-solving help to raise student satisfaction. Students also positively assess online teaching as it allows them to acquire new competencies and even to identify business opportunities. The online evaluation method used also seems to have been appropriate, as it led students to obtain better grades than in face-to-face teaching contexts. The study offers several implications for university teachers of Social Sciences who wish to adopt this type of teaching method.

Marketing education literature is prolific in research dedicated to the best methodologies to provide higher education students with the knowledge as well as the soft and hard skills needed for their future careers as marketing experts. This article presents an experiment developed in a marketing degree, that took place outside the classroom over the last twelve years. The experiment consists on the organization of an annual marketing conference organized by a team of students that are supervised by a marketing teacher. It is a two-day event that brings together the best speakers from the market and academia and is targeted for both marketing students and professionals. The participation of students as part of the organizing team is voluntary and no assessment is performed by any course of the degree. These students refer the development of skills such as improving negotiation skills, networking, public speaking skills, organization, planning, team management, conflict management, leadership, time management, among others, as an added value for there careers.

The aim of this paper is to describe what lecturer’s experiences of teaching communication are with disabled patients using CBL method at Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacký University Olomouc. The CBL didactic method includes both intentional and unintentional learning. It is a method of controlled questioning and provides more space for teaching of small groups. During lessons students can communicate with a disabled patient, i.e. an adult with limited legal capacity due to mild mental retardation, and his public guardian. It helps medical students better understand communication processes with a disabled patient and develop interpersonal skills. Using CBL method, students think critically and ask targeted questions to the public guardian of the disabled patient. This experience strengthens the feeling of empathy with the patient, allows him to get to cooperate in treatment. Students are familiar with the communication problem before the lesson. The teacher acts as a facilitator. The inclusion of patient with limited legal capacity and his guardian in the conduct of CBL communication seminars meet the needs of practical training in communication. Keywords: disability; mental retardation; legal capacity; health communication; medical education; case-based learning.

In this paper some representative examples of a project proposed to second year environment and civil engineering students are presented. The project aim was to deepen the understanding of multivariable functions, stimulating students' creativity and connecting concepts to the content of other disciplines and to the real-world situations through examples that the students themselves have found as applications to engineering. To visualize the problems, students had often utilized GeoGebra, tool widely used during lectures to visualize theoretical aspects and to better explain the exercises. The appreciation of students involved in this activity and their relationship with GeoGebra is also presented. Students appreciated very much this approach as highlighted analyzing their written reports about the activity and GeoGebra use.

In the wake of the massive digitalization in education brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, a vast variety of didactic concepts, methods, activities, tools and technologies came into use and are now widely discussed. However, a lack of clarity is observable, as to how these different concepts, activities and tools integrate into a big picture, when to use what, and which aspects have to be considered and addressed to create solutions that work effectively towards achieving specific learning and teaching objectives. To systematically structure this vast variety of didactic concepts, activities and tools, we introduce an architectural concept for didactics in the context of constructive alignment. We achieve this via an abstraction process, which clusters the existing didactic concepts, activities and tools, and specifies interrelations between the identified clusters. On this basis, it is possible to quickly adapt our model by subtractive customization, thus focusing on what is really needed within a specific teaching and learning situation.

E-Learning has been viewed as a positive initiative in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), as it is said to improve opportunities for critical thinking, develops better problem solving abilities and assists in improvement of productivity and efficiency of employees. For HEIs to benefit from the advantages of e-learning there needs to be continuous research done on how best can HEIs ensure that there is successful and sustainable e-learning. Secondary data literature was reviewed and in collecting primary data six participants from one of the South African HEIs (UKZN) were interviewed. Information gathered through primary data collection was in line with the information obtained from literature. The difference was when the primary data revealed additional factors which are essential for successful and sustainable e-learning. These includes the importance of finances and regular discussions and engagements with champions/experts and research in the field of e-learning. Most of the literature highlights the importance of engagements with students, faculty and academic staff and not much emphases is placed on engagement with all stakeholders. This paper concluded by providing recommendations which needs to been considered by HEIs on how best they can achieve successful and sustainable e-learning.

Today, we are witnessing the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is still having, on social, economic and cultural life worldwide. In particular, the educational dimension has seen the regular operating of schools altered, with an indeterminate closure of educational institutions, as well as the impossibility to perform face-to-face lectures, and their transposition to digital platforms (Sà et Serpa, 2020). These difficult conditions can be a moment of opportunity to accelerate a process of digital transformation that was beginning to shift in higher education institutions (HEIs). HEIs are using digital transformation strategies to refine how they work, to digitalize their existing operations while designing new digital models, to create entirely new digital models or to fully digitize their current ones (Rodrigues 2017). In the European fashion education system this can result in addressing the transformative challenges that are nurturing the discussion on the future of HEIs (Moja, 2008; Sterling, 2011; Fletcher and Williams, 2013). Therefore, digital innovation becomes the means by which implementing a positive transformation of the sector on key issues that will permeate our daily lives and that can no longer be postponed. Among the pivotal topics there is sustainability which today is slowly trying to establish itself (Wolff, 2020). Trough the analysis of best practices, this paper will decode current behaviors in Fashion Design for Sustainability (FDfS) throughout the European fashion education system.
今天，我们正在目睹COVID-19大流行对世界各地的社会、经济和文化生活产生的影响。特别是，在教育方面，学校的正常运作发生了变化，教育机构的关闭不确定，以及不可能进行面对面的讲座，以及它们向数字平台的转变(suseet Serpa, 2020)。这些困难的条件可以成为加速高等教育机构(HEIs)开始转变的数字化转型进程的机会。高等教育机构正在使用数字化转型战略来改进其工作方式，在设计新的数字模型的同时将现有业务数字化，创建全新的数字模型或将现有模型完全数字化(Rodrigues 2017)。在欧洲时尚教育体系中，这可能导致解决变革挑战，这些挑战正在培养关于高等教育未来的讨论(Moja, 2008;英镑,2011;Fletcher and Williams, 2013)。因此，数字创新成为在关键问题上实施行业积极转型的手段，这些问题将渗透到我们的日常生活中，不能再推迟了。在关键的主题中，有可持续性，今天正在慢慢地试图建立自己(Wolff, 2020)。通过对最佳实践的分析，本文将解读整个欧洲时尚教育体系中可持续发展时装设计(FDfS)的当前行为。

Discrete Mathematics is a highly complex university subject. His classes are taught in a traditional way, so in many cases they do not motivate students. This study develops dynamics of gamification to promote a better learning of Discrete Mathematics, in the same way, it seeks to influence the engagement of students in this university subject. 178 students participate in this quasi-experiment (90 in the control group and 88 in the experimental group). The pretest and posttest data of the academic performance and engagement of the experimental group and the control group display that, in terms of progress, the experimental group showed significant progress compared with the control group. The study is concluded by raising the possibility of applying other games and game dynamics that promote a greater variety of gamified activities. In this sense, it is proposed to investigate the effects of the use of games in mobile application format on both engagement and academic performance in Discrete Mathematics.

The Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB) developed an online survey, called the Observatory of Students and Graduates, aimed at entities in Portugal as a means of gathering information about the stakeholders view of IPB graduates and students, regarding skills for employability. Of the total (424) entities contacted, 118 responded, representing 28% of the total. It was noted that 79 of the responses have included IPB students and graduates in their staff, being 27% entities of the Agroforestry-food sector, 16% from the Consulting, Real Estate and Finance sector, and 14% from the Transport and Commerce sector. IPB graduates and students’s skills were discussed from the perspective of employers. 12 skills were listed, with an average of 95% of responses between "Very Important" and "Important".´The skills that stood out the most were: “Learning” and “Motivation/Involvement”. The lowest priority skills were: “Physical: Robustness and manual dexterity”, followed by “General Culture”. These data point to the clear fact that the soft skills have greater relevance than hard skills. One of the justifications is that the advent of artificial intelligence, and other technologies that have been performing functions that overlap with technical - human knowledge.

The main objective of this paper is to describe the programme followed for the development and acquisition of quality engineering (QE)-related competences in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). In a 100% face-to-face context, different products (such as catapults and paper helicopters) were used to apply the theoretical concepts of Six Sigma in an real environment, which would be impossible in an online or blended context. To overcome the difficulties derived from the Covid-19 pandemic, a new programme has been defined that includes the continuous use of ICT using a simulator of an injection process to generate the necessary data to develop the practice. The changes made to the programme, and the simulator used, have successfully replaced the practices and products previously used in a 100% face-to-face environment, allowing students to acquire QE-related competences in a practical way in a non-face-to-face environment.

The changes made to the programme, and the simulator used, have successfully replaced the practices and products previously used in a 100% face-to-face environment, allowing students to acquire QE-related competences in a practical way in a non-face-to-face environment.","PeriodicalId":169443,"journal":{"name":"7th International Conference on Higher Education Advances (HEAd'21)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116798026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
