This study attempted to examine whether academic performance of pre-service teachers (PST) in virtual field experiences was the same as that of their peers in the previous semester who had regular face-to-face field experiences. Data for this study included PST’ scores in three course sections in the Spring 2020 semester at a mid-size public university located in the Midwest of the United States where all of their field experiences were conducted virtually and compared with that of their peers in the Fall 2019 semester when all of their field experiences were conducted face-to-face. Our findings indicated that PST’s academic performance in the virtual field experiences was the same as that of their peers in the previous semester who had regular face-toface field experiences.
本研究旨在探讨职前教师在虚拟实地体验中的学业表现是否与在上学期定期进行面对面实地体验的同龄人相同。本研究的数据包括2020年春季学期在美国中西部一所中型公立大学的三个课程部分的PST分数,他们的所有实地体验都是虚拟的,并与2019年秋季学期的同龄人进行比较,当时他们的所有实地体验都是面对面进行的。我们的研究结果表明,PST在虚拟现场体验中的学习成绩与上学期定期进行面对面现场体验的同龄人相同。

Recognizing that higher education settings vary considerably, librarians at Gettysburg College sought to better understand textbook spending behaviors and the effects of costs on our students. We adapted the Florida Virtual Campus 2016 Student Textbook and Course Materials Survey to suit the context of our small, private, liberal arts college. Most students spent $300 in Fall 2019. Financial aid awards did not cover the cost of required books and course materials for most students receiving aid. Negative effects were more pronounced for first-generation students and Pell Grant recipients, who were more likely to not purchase required books, to not register for a course due to cost, and to struggle academically. Some reported negative effects beyond their academic lives, as well. We recommend adoption of Open Educational Resources as an equity-minded practice that addresses this academic success barrier.
认识到高等教育环境差异很大,葛底斯堡学院的图书管理员试图更好地了解教科书的消费行为以及成本对学生的影响。我们改编了佛罗里达虚拟校园2016年学生教科书和课程材料调查,以适应我们小型私立文理学院的背景。大多数学生在2019年秋季花费300美元。对于大多数接受助学金的学生来说,助学金不包括所需书籍和课程材料的费用。负面影响在第一代学生和佩尔助学金获得者身上更为明显,他们更有可能不购买所需的书籍,因为费用而不注册课程,并且在学业上挣扎。一些人还报告了学术生活之外的负面影响。我们建议采用开放教育资源作为解决这一学业成功障碍的公平做法。

Cognisant of the wide range of cooperation between China and Africa and the existing strong Sino-African relationship, this article explores the international cooperation between Africa and China in the higher education domain, especially in the field of Open Distance Learning (ODL). The study employed data triangulation relying on both secondary and primary sources to address the main research questions. It sheds light on the development of ODL in Chinese Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with a focus on professional development of university teachers. The article argues that ODL is crucial for emerging economies’ sustainable development. Key factors such as political, technological and socio-cultural features play a crucial role in the development and effective implementation of ODL. By exploring the potential opportunities and identifying related challenges, this article contributes to an understanding of how mutually beneficial partnerships between African universities and Chinese HEIs can be developed within the wider framework of Sino-African relationship.

The rapid transition to online teaching because of the global disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic exclaimed all the educators on finding the most efficient ways to teach in the presence of all rampant limitations caused in both social and academic lives. Facebook, as one of the favorite social networks, having hundreds of millions of users, is an enticing way for the teachers and students to form an online community. With this regard, the purpose of the present study is to explore the attitude and viewpoints of language learners toward implementing Facebook as a peripheral medium, besides the formal e-learning platform used in the classroom, to engage learners in language learning and explore its effectiveness in the process of teaching. Moreover, this study aims to explore learners’ attitudes through the lens of the sociocultural theory. To this end, participants were chosen based on availability sampling, and the online versions of two surveys, Facebook Online Survey and Usefulness and Effectiveness Survey were shared with them through Facebook wall posts and Google Drive. The quantitative and qualitative analyses of their responses are examined and the results are analyzed based on the sociocultural perspective. This study implied that Facebook can be employed as a motivating technology to engage learners and an effective tool besides the other online medium used during the global lockdown.
由于新冠肺炎大流行造成的全球混乱,所有教育工作者都在寻找最有效的教学方式,以应对社会和学术生活中所有猖獗的限制。Facebook作为最受欢迎的社交网络之一,拥有数亿用户,是教师和学生形成在线社区的诱人方式。有鉴于此,本研究的目的是探讨语言学习者对将Facebook作为课堂上使用的正式电子学习平台之外的外围媒介,以吸引学习者参与语言学习的态度和观点,并探讨其在教学过程中的有效性。此外,本研究旨在透过社会文化理论来探讨学习者的态度。为此,根据可用性抽样选择参与者,并通过Facebook墙贴和Google Drive与他们分享Facebook在线调查和有用性和有效性调查两项调查的在线版本。对他们的反应进行了定量和定性分析,并从社会文化角度对结果进行了分析。这项研究表明,除了全球封锁期间使用的其他在线媒体外,Facebook可以作为一种激励学习者的技术和有效的工具。

Students acting as co-creators of academic material is growing in popularity as a pedagogical approach in higher education. With student engagement and persistence consistently being emphasized for student and institution well-being, educational praxis must foster engaged, high-retention student cohorts. This exploratory research uses a mixed-methods approach to examine the experience of students participating in a first-year course utilizing OER-enabled Pedagogy. Students considered how projects that were open impacted their perception of course engagement, satisfaction, and overall experience. Participants also evaluated their level of concern in sharing attributed academic work. A plurality of students preferred the project using OERenabled Pedagogy, indicating it increased engagement and skills acquisition. The majority of students were unconcerned about sharing work publicly, even if their names were included. Themes that emerged from interviews included the motivational value of creating work potentially valuable to others, being given agency, and receiving public credit for their efforts.
学生作为学术材料的共同创造者在高等教育中越来越受欢迎。随着学生的参与和坚持一直被强调为学生和机构的福祉,教育实践必须培养参与,高保留的学生群体。这项探索性研究采用混合方法来考察学生参与一年级课程的经验,利用oer教学法。学生们考虑了开放项目如何影响他们对课程参与度、满意度和整体体验的看法。参与者还评估了他们对分享归因学术工作的关注程度。许多学生更喜欢使用OERenabled教学法的项目,表明它增加了参与度和技能获取。大多数学生并不担心公开分享工作成果,即使他们的名字被包括在内。从访谈中出现的主题包括创造对他人有潜在价值的工作的激励价值,被赋予代理权,以及因他们的努力而获得公众的信任。

Effective student support is key in stemming the dropout in distance education. This article reports on the student support provision in a hybrid teacher education programme. Altogether 160 participants were purposively selected; 126 completed a survey, 33 (30 students and 3 administrative staff) took part in six focus group discussions; and one instructional designer took part in a one-on-one interview. Tait’s framework on student support guided the study. The data analysis involved descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that, although the institution is striving to support its students, areas that need attention include call centre services, tutor support services, tutor-student communication, and funding. Recommendations include the need for providers to pay particular attention to students’ whole experience to ensure effective student support. Further research is needed regarding the contextualisation of each aspect of Tait’s framework; the author suggests some guidelines to guide this process.
有效的学生支持是遏制远程教育辍学的关键。本文报道了混合教师教育项目中学生支持的规定。共有160名参与者被有意选中;126人完成了调查,33人(30名学生和3名行政人员)参加了6次焦点小组讨论;一位教学设计师参加了一对一的面试。Tait的学生支持框架指导了研究。数据分析包括描述性统计和专题分析。调查结果显示,虽然该机构正在努力支持其学生,但需要注意的领域包括呼叫中心服务、导师支持服务、导师与学生的沟通和资金。建议包括提供者需要特别关注学生的整个经历,以确保有效的学生支持。对于Tait框架各方面的语境化,需要进一步的研究;作者提出了一些指导这一过程的指导方针。

Recently, the University of South Africa widened access to academic facilities and services at one of its study centres. Although this is laudable and demonstrates a commitment by the university towards its students, it raises these three concerns (1) What is the occupancy rate of the facilities? (2) To what extent are these improved facilities cost-effective? (3) What is the quality of the services at these facilities? A modified iron triangle was employed to analyse and determine accessibility, cost-effectiveness and the quality of the facilities. Data mining techniques involving descriptive analysis indicated that the most utilised service facilities were the computer laboratories and the least utilised was the study space. Moreover, perceived service quality of the facilities was rated good to excellent by the majority of the respondents. The modified iron triangle was found to be useful in helping us understand Student Support Excellence Project’s (SSEP) improvements at the identified study centre.
最近,南非大学扩大了在其一个研究中心使用学术设施和服务的机会。虽然这是值得称赞的,表明了大学对学生的承诺,但它提出了以下三个问题:(1)设施的入住率是多少?(2)这些改进后的设施在多大程度上具有成本效益?(3)这些设施的服务质量如何?采用改良的铁三角来分析和确定设施的可达性、成本效益和质量。涉及描述性分析的数据挖掘技术表明,使用最多的服务设施是计算机实验室,使用最少的是学习空间。此外,大部分受访者认为设施的服务质素良好至优良。修改后的铁三角被发现有助于我们理解学生支持卓越项目(SSEP)在确定的学习中心的改进。

This study uses a case study approach to examine the development of a massive open online course (MOOC) on intervention and implementation research in infectious diseases of poverty for learners in low- and middleincome countries (LMICs). Implementation research (IR) seeks to understand and address barriers to effective implementation of health interventions, strategies, and policies. In recent years, IR has attracted increased interest, and corresponding demand for training, however, current training opportunities are not easily accessible to learners in LMICs. In 2017, the MOOC was introduced to a diverse range of learners to enhance access to training materials and has been offered yearly since. Findings are based on the experiences of the MOOC working group which included developers and facilitators, and on interpretations of data such as forum discussion activity and Facebook posts. The use of material from local contexts and in local languages, and professional facilitation of discussion forums was identified by the working group to be key considerations in developing the MOOC. Other findings include the importance of using clear instructions and preparing discussion questions to stimulate learner engagement. These findings add to the limited knowledge of MOOCs developed for LMICs and are of value to others developing professional development MOOCs in LMIC health contexts.
本研究采用案例研究方法,考察了针对低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)学习者的关于贫困传染病干预和实施研究的大规模开放在线课程(MOOC)的开发情况。实施研究(IR)旨在了解和解决有效实施卫生干预措施、战略和政策的障碍。近年来,IR吸引了越来越多的兴趣和相应的培训需求,然而,目前的培训机会对中低收入国家的学习者来说并不容易获得。2017年,MOOC被引入到各种各样的学习者中,以增加对培训材料的获取,并从那时起每年提供一次。这些发现是基于MOOC工作小组(包括开发人员和促进者)的经验,以及对论坛讨论活动和Facebook帖子等数据的解读。在开发MOOC的过程中,工作组确定了使用当地背景和当地语言的材料,以及专业的论坛便利是关键考虑因素。其他发现包括使用明确的指导和准备讨论问题来激发学习者参与的重要性。这些发现增加了针对中低收入国家开发的mooc的有限知识,并对在中低收入国家卫生背景下开发专业发展mooc的其他人具有价值。

COVID19 outbreak brought about many challenges including the shifting of university assessments to conduct in online mode. This research study tries to explore the impact of newly designed online formative assessments on students' learning, in a Plant Physiology course. The designing of assessments were carried out focusing on constructive alignment, for which an Open Book Test (OBT) was conducted in three parts: OBT1 -problem based learning assignment, providing feedback using a rubric;OBT2 -multiple choice, multi response, matching and missing word questions with immediate feedback;OBT3 -analysing research results with MCQs and short answer questions with feedback. A mixed approach of convergent parallel design method was followed to collect data through two questionnaires and interviews. Findings indicated students' engagement in self- determined learning in solving a real-world problem and their enthusiasm in learning with research-based questions in assessments, while self-assessing their performance through feedback. However, geographically varied technological challenges need to be addressed in conducting successful online assessments.
新冠肺炎疫情给高校评估工作带来了诸多挑战,包括高校评估工作向网络模式转变。本研究旨在探讨植物生理学课程中新设计的线上形成性评估对学生学习的影响。评估的设计以建设性的一致性为重点,其中开卷测试(OBT)分为三个部分:OBT1 -基于问题的学习任务,使用标题提供反馈;OBT2 -多项选择,多回答,匹配和缺词问题,即时反馈;OBT3 -使用mcq和简答题分析研究结果并反馈。采用收敛平行设计法的混合方法,通过两次问卷调查和访谈收集数据。研究结果显示,学生在解决实际问题时表现出自主学习的参与程度,在评估中表现出对研究性问题学习的热情,并通过反馈对自己的表现进行自我评估。然而,在进行成功的在线评估时,需要解决地理上不同的技术挑战。
