Chipo Makamure, Maria Tsakeni
The closing of schools due to Covid-19 has brought a dimension of uncertainty into STEM education. Despite the closing of schools due to the need to observe physical distancing, some schools have found ways to continue teaching and learning on virtual platforms enabled by increasingly pervasive fourth industrial revolution environments. In this study, the teaching of Ordinary level mathematics and science in pursuit of STEM education goals as enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) in online classrooms was therefore, explored. Using an interpretive case study, relevant data were collected from two mathematics and three science teachers during semi-structured interviews. These participants communicated their experiences in transitioning from face-to-face to online classrooms as they worked to promote STEM education during the Covid-19 pandemic. The findings reveal teachers’ experiences of this transition and their selection of particular Web 2.0 tools to establish online classrooms. Notably, mobile instant messaging tools proved to be a popular option for being cheap, user-friendly, temporal, and multimodal. The findings also revealed that teachers struggled to adapt the hands-on activities to suit online teaching resulting in the use of teacher-centred approaches.Keywords: Covid-19, mathematics and science, online learning, STEM education, virtual platforms
新冠肺炎导致的学校停课给STEM教育带来了不确定性。尽管由于需要保持身体距离而关闭了学校,但一些学校已经找到了在日益普及的第四次工业革命环境下的虚拟平台上继续教学的方法。因此,本研究探讨了物联网(IoT)在在线课堂中实现STEM教育目标的普通水平数学和科学教学。采用解释性案例研究,在半结构化访谈中收集了两名数学教师和三名科学教师的相关数据。这些参与者交流了他们在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间努力促进STEM教育时从面对面课堂过渡到在线课堂的经验。调查结果揭示了教师在这种转变中的经验,以及他们选择特定的Web 2.0工具来建立在线课堂。值得注意的是,移动即时消息工具被证明是一种便宜、用户友好、即时和多模式的流行选择。调查结果还显示,教师们努力使实践活动适应在线教学,导致使用以教师为中心的方法。关键词:Covid-19,数学与科学,在线学习,STEM教育,虚拟平台

THROUGH THE COVID-19 LOOKING GLASS: COPING SKILLS FOR STEM EDUCATORS IN THE TIME OF A PANDEMIC AND BEYOND 透过COVID-19的镜子:大流行时期及以后stem教育工作者的应对技能
Geoffrey Lautenbach, N. Randell
The 2020 pandemic led to the immediate lockdown of schools and universities worldwide with far-reaching implications for educators and learners. Individual stories of lockdown and isolation are documented using direct quotations from discussion forums, emails, live chats, and structured journal entries from the Blackboard learning management system. A ‘qualitative sense’ of a common narrative of turmoil and success within this ‘new [ab] normal’ is established. Educators’ contrasting accounts of uncertainty and hope are highlighted. The notion of anticipatory anxiety as a result of social lockdown restrictions is covered in terms of its impact on mental health and wellbeing, with special reference to the neuroscience that underpins this phenomenon. Strategies for the management of stress-related autonomic nervous system activation, as well as for building resilience and coping skills in classrooms, are highlighted, along with the need to address issues of cognitive dissonance and fatigue caused by increased online/blended teaching demands during uncertain times. The online format was found to be potentially impersonal and cold without the essential ‘human factor’. Despite technology in education there has to be human and social interaction, as well as support online. The most benefit was derived from live sessions and social interaction.Keywords: mental health, well-being, progressive education, psycho-social issues, coping strategies
2020年的大流行导致世界各地的学校和大学立即封锁,对教育工作者和学习者产生了深远影响。通过直接引用论坛、电子邮件、实时聊天以及Blackboard学习管理系统中的结构化日志条目,记录了封锁和隔离的个人故事。在这种“新常态”中,一种关于动荡和成功的共同叙事的“定性意义”得以确立。教育工作者对不确定性和希望的对比描述得到了强调。由于社会封锁限制而导致的预期焦虑的概念涵盖了其对心理健康和福祉的影响,特别提到了支撑这一现象的神经科学。强调了管理与压力相关的自主神经系统激活的策略,以及在教室中建立弹性和应对技能的策略,以及解决在不确定时期因在线/混合教学需求增加而引起的认知失调和疲劳问题的需要。人们发现,这种在线形式可能缺乏人情味,缺乏必要的“人为因素”。尽管教育中有技术,但必须有人际和社会互动,以及在线支持。最大的好处来自于现场会话和社交互动。关键词:心理健康,幸福感,进步教育,社会心理问题,应对策略

STEM EDUCATION DURING THE COVID-19: TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES ABOUT STRATEGIES, CHALLENGES AND EFFECTS ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING 2019冠状病毒病期间的Stem教育:教师对策略、挑战和对学生学习影响的看法
M. Baptista, Estela Costa, Iva Martins
This research aims to examine: (a) how Physics teachers who participated in a STEM project, adopted and implemented a STEM activity in the context of a pandemic; (b) from the perspective of Physics teachers, what were the effects on students' learning of a STEM activity implemented in the context of the pandemic; (c) what challenges had Physics teachers faced in implementing the STEM activity during the pandemic. A qualitative and interpretive methodology was used. The participants are four Physics teachers who implemented a STEM activity on sound, during the pandemic. Data were collected through interviews and written reflections. The study has shown how, in a crisis context such as COVID-19, which affected schools all around the world, teachers were able to deal with it and kept developing a STEM activity, revealing the main challenges and effects on student learning, from the teachers’ points of view. Moreover, it was clear that carrying out with success a STEM activity, in such an adverse scenario, was strongly related with teachers who found new strategies and keep students motivated, by guiding them proficiently, and that requires to merge scientific and technological knowledge.Keywords: COVID-19, pandemic context, physics teachers, online teaching, STEM activity
本研究旨在研究:(a)参与STEM项目的物理教师如何在大流行背景下采用和实施STEM活动;(二)从物理教师的角度来看,在疫情背景下实施的STEM活动对学生的学习有何影响;(三)大流行期间,物理教师在实施STEM活动时面临哪些挑战。采用了定性和解释性方法。参与者是四名物理教师,他们在大流行期间实施了一项关于声音的STEM活动。通过访谈和书面反思收集数据。该研究展示了在COVID-19等影响全球学校的危机背景下,教师如何能够应对并不断开展STEM活动,从教师的角度揭示了对学生学习的主要挑战和影响。此外,很明显,在这种不利的情况下,成功开展STEM活动与教师能否找到新的策略并通过熟练地指导学生保持积极性密切相关,这需要科学和技术知识的融合。关键词:COVID-19,大流行背景,物理教师,在线教学,STEM活动

THE EFFECTS OF ONLINE TEACHING ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PROGRESS IN STEM 网络教学对学生stem学业进步的影响
I. Pânișoară, Ruxandra Chirca, I. Lazar
Online teaching environment is a challenge for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in-service teachers who feel worried about their ability to succeed in what might be an unfamiliar learning environment. This research focused on testing the effects of perceived risks and concerns by in-service teachers during online-only classes due to the coronavirus outbreak on student academic progress requirements across the different STEM disciplines. The research hypotheses were tested on a sample of 1444 in-service teachers teaching exclusively in the online environment, in Romania. A structural equation model was used to explore the possible links among two external variables (pedagogical and technological perceived risks), one mediator variable (student engagement), one control variable (school settings), and one output variable (student academic progress requirements). The results revealed significant negative paths from challenges mediated by student engagement to student academic progress, as well as positive paths from them to mediator factor. The school setting categories were negatively correlated with both perceived risk dimensions. The moderator role of student engagement on the challenges-outcome link was supported. The online teaching effects on student’s academic progress varied across the different STEM disciplines. The relevant common features for all STEM disciplines were further then demonstrated. Keywords: online class, pandemic emergency, STEM, structural equation modelling, student academic progress, in-service teachers
在线教学环境对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)在职教师来说是一个挑战,他们担心自己在一个陌生的学习环境中取得成功的能力。这项研究的重点是测试由于冠状病毒的爆发,在职教师在在线课程中感知到的风险和担忧对不同STEM学科学生学业进步要求的影响。研究假设在罗马尼亚的1444名在职教师中进行了测试,这些教师只在网络环境中教学。使用结构方程模型来探索两个外部变量(教学和技术感知风险)、一个中介变量(学生参与度)、一个控制变量(学校设置)和一个输出变量(学生学业进步要求)之间可能存在的联系。研究结果显示,以学生投入为中介的挑战对学生学业进步有显著的负向影响,而以学生投入为中介的挑战对学生学业进步有显著的正向影响。学校设置类别与感知风险维度均呈负相关。支持学生参与对挑战-结果联系的调节作用。在线教学对学生学业进步的影响在不同的STEM学科之间存在差异。然后进一步论证了所有STEM学科的相关共同特征。关键词:网络课堂,疫情应急,STEM,结构方程建模,学生学业进步,在职教师

CONTEXT MATTERS: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION LECTURERS’ REFLECTIONS ON ONLINE TEACHING AND LEARNING DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC 背景问题:科学、技术和数学教育讲师对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间在线教学的思考
Asheena Singh-Pillay, Jayaluxmi Naidoo
To limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus conditions of lockdown were enforced by countries globally. Universities and schools revised the mode of delivery from contact teaching to online teaching and learning. This qualitative research was conducted at one university in South Africa and explored STEM discipline lecturers’ reflections on the use of online technologies and the factors which enable or constrain online teaching and learning. Three lecturers from STEM disciplines involved in online teaching were purposively selected to participate in this study. Data were generated via semi-structured interviews and reflective journals. The findings reveal that lecturers supplement the use of Moodle and Zoom with WhatsApp, the factor that enabled online teaching was the availability of data to lecturers and students. In contrast, the factors that constrained online teaching and learning were the technical training received for online teaching, the mismatch between pedagogy and students’ learning styles, the pressure of balancing work-home life and assumptions made about the availability of conducive home environments for learning, connectivity, and availability of devices for online learning. These findings have implications for professional development for online teaching and recommend that universities adopt WhatsApp to be a formal platform for online teaching and learning.Keywords: learning style, online teaching and learning, pandemic, reflections, WhatsApp
为了限制COVID-19病毒的传播,全球各国都实施了封锁条件。高校将授课方式从接触式教学调整为在线教学。这项定性研究是在南非的一所大学进行的,探讨了STEM学科讲师对在线技术使用的思考,以及使在线教学和学习成为可能或受到限制的因素。我们有意选择了三名从事网络教学的STEM学科讲师参与本研究。数据通过半结构化访谈和反思日志生成。调查结果显示,讲师使用WhatsApp来补充Moodle和Zoom的使用,使在线教学成为可能的因素是讲师和学生的数据可用性。相比之下,限制在线教学和学习的因素是接受在线教学的技术培训,教学法与学生学习风格之间的不匹配,平衡工作与家庭生活的压力,以及对有利于学习的家庭环境的可用性的假设,网络连接,以及在线学习设备的可用性。这些发现对在线教学的专业发展具有启示意义,并建议大学采用WhatsApp作为在线教学的正式平台。关键词:学习方式,在线教学,流行病,反思,WhatsApp

ASSESSING PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ RECEPTION AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS VIRTUAL LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS IN LIFE SCIENCES 评估职前教师对生命科学虚拟实验室实验的接受程度和态度
M. Penn, Lydia Mavuru
This research reports the assessment of pre-service teachers’ reception and attitudes towards virtual laboratory experiments in Life Sciences with the aim of advancing adaptability to digital learning. Using sequential mixed-methods in a quasi-experimental design, 68 pre-service teachers in the 3rd year of a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) program were surveyed before and after virtual learning interventions. This phase was followed by qualitative data gathering using focus group interviews with all participants. Findings from quantitative data analysis revealed a positive significant difference in pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards virtual laboratory experiments post learning interventions. From qualitative data pre-service teachers found the progression from using only traditional to including virtual experiments was useful in enhancing their conceptual understandings of Life Sciences concepts, convenience, inquiry-based learning, self-directed and autonomous learning. However, pre-service teachers noted that using virtual laboratories did not significantly develop their science process skills and as a result could not replace the experiences in a traditional biology laboratory. The implications of these findings project virtual laboratories as a supporting tool for experimentation in Life Sciences especially within and post the COVID-19 pandemic where issues of social distancing pose a threat to collaborative and inquiry-based science learning. Recommendations from these findings are discussed herein. Keywords: inquiry-based learning, life sciences, pre-service teachers, virtual laboratory experiments
本研究报告了职前教师对生命科学虚拟实验室实验的接受程度和态度的评估,旨在提高对数字化学习的适应性。采用准实验设计的顺序混合方法,对68名教育学士(B.Ed)课程三年级的职前教师在虚拟学习干预前后进行了调查。这一阶段之后是对所有参与者进行焦点小组访谈的定性数据收集。定量数据分析的结果显示,职前教师对虚拟实验室实验后学习干预的态度有显著的正差异。从定性数据来看,职前教师发现,从只使用传统实验到包括虚拟实验的进展,有助于提高他们对生命科学概念的概念理解,便利,基于探究的学习,自我指导和自主学习。然而,职前教师指出,使用虚拟实验室并不能显著提高他们的科学处理技能,因此不能取代传统生物实验室的经验。这些发现的影响将虚拟实验室作为生命科学实验的辅助工具,特别是在COVID-19大流行期间和之后,社交距离问题对协作和基于探究的科学学习构成威胁。本文讨论了这些发现的建议。关键词:探究性学习,生命科学,职前教师,虚拟实验室实验

BROADENING EDUCATIONAL PATHWAYS TO STEM EDUCATION THROUGH ONLINE TEACHING AND LEARNING DURING COVID-19: TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES 在2019冠状病毒病期间,通过在线教学拓宽stem教育的教育途径:教师的观点
T. Dhurumraj, S. Ramaila, Ferhana Raban, Ahmed Ashruf
COVID-19 posed formidable challenges to the teaching and learning of subjects with abstract concepts such as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The study explored how STEM teachers transformed their pedagogical practices as an integral part of the transition to online teaching and learning in response to COVID-19 and further examined the effectiveness of online teaching and learning. The study adopted an exploratory descriptive survey design and involved purposively selected STEM teachers from schools operating under the auspices of the Association of Muslim Schools. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework underpinned the study. Quantitative data was collected through the administration of a Likert scale instrument. Data was analysed using inferential and descriptive statistics. Findings revealed that COVID-19 essentially compelled teachers to make a transition to online teaching and learning resulting in a concomitant profound impact on their pedagogical practices. Teachers provided various perspectives on the key modalities adopted to navigate online teaching and learning on virtual platforms in an attempt to ensure sustainable, equitable and inclusive teaching and learning. Implications for broadening educational pathways to STEM education through online teaching and learning on virtual platforms and sustainable teacher professional development on technology integration in teaching and learning are discussed.Keywords: COVID-19, online teaching, pandemic, pedagogy, STEM, teaching practices
COVID-19给科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)等具有抽象概念的学科的教学带来了巨大挑战。该研究探讨了STEM教师如何将其教学实践转变为应对COVID-19向在线教学过渡的一个组成部分,并进一步检查了在线教学的有效性。该研究采用了探索性描述性调查设计,并有目的地从穆斯林学校协会(Association of Muslim schools)赞助的学校中选择了STEM教师。技术教学内容知识(TPACK)框架是这项研究的基础。定量数据是通过李克特量表收集的。数据分析采用推理和描述性统计。调查结果显示,COVID-19基本上迫使教师向在线教学和学习过渡,从而对他们的教学实践产生了深远影响。教师们就在虚拟平台上进行在线教学所采用的关键模式提供了不同的观点,以确保可持续、公平和包容的教学。讨论了通过虚拟平台上的在线教学和学习拓宽STEM教育的教育途径以及在教学和学习中技术集成的可持续教师专业发展的意义。关键词:COVID-19,在线教学,大流行,教学法,STEM,教学实践
