Abstract The virtual school board (VSB) offers teachers a browser-based platform to support a multilevel, evidence-based educational plan. The present study examines teachers’ use of the VSB. Based on technology acceptance model (TAM), 17 teachers from nine schools were interviewed about their use of the VSB. The evaluation was based on qualitative content analysis (QCA). For seven categories the intercoder reliabilities were acceptable. After 24 months, the users said that they used the VSB for support planning, diagnostics, discussions with parents and other documentation. They rated the overview gained and the interdisciplinary exchange as beneficial. However, a lack of technical expertise within the staff, the technical equipment and the user interface hindered teachers, such that almost a fifth never used the software completely. The challenges are complex. Needless to say, missing, little or old technical hardware is likely to decrease the usage of a digital tool; the implementation also faces the challenges of recontextualisation, and additionally faces the resource-labelling dilemma. Therefore, these challenges must be dealt with in the mutual interaction between school practice, educational research and professional information and communication technology (ICT) development.
虚拟学校董事会(VSB)为教师提供了一个基于浏览器的平台,以支持多层次的循证教育计划。本研究考察了教师对VSB的使用情况。基于技术接受模型(TAM),对来自9所学校的17名教师进行了关于VSB使用情况的访谈。评价方法为定性含量分析(QCA)。对于7个类别,互码器的可靠性是可以接受的。24个月后,用户说他们使用VSB来支持计划、诊断、与父母讨论和其他文档。他们认为获得的概述和跨学科的交流是有益的。然而,工作人员缺乏技术专长,技术设备和用户界面阻碍了教师,因此几乎五分之一的教师从未完全使用过该软件。挑战是复杂的。不用说,缺少、少或旧的技术硬件可能会减少数字工具的使用;实施还面临着重新背景化的挑战,另外还面临着资源标签困境。因此,必须在学校实践、教育研究和专业信息通信技术(ICT)发展的相互作用中应对这些挑战。

Abstract This study examines academicians’ COVID-19 anxiety and digitalisation regarding different variables. The sample of this study consists of 103 academicians from various universities. A survey model was used. The data collection tools were the “Coronavirus Anxiety Scale” to measure anxiety caused by COVID-19 and the “Academicians Digitalisation Scale” to determine academicians’ digitalisation. Results indicated that while there was a significant difference in academicians’ COVID-19 anxiety and digitalisation regarding different variables, there was no relationship between their COVID-19 anxiety and digitalisation.
本研究通过不同的变量考察了院士的新冠肺炎焦虑和数字化。本研究的样本由103名来自不同大学的院士组成。采用调查模型。数据收集工具为测量新冠肺炎焦虑的“冠状病毒焦虑量表”和确定院士数字化程度的“院士数字化量表”。结果表明,虽然在不同的变量上,院士的新冠肺炎焦虑和数字化存在显著差异,但他们的新冠肺炎焦虑与数字化之间没有关系。

Parallel and distributed computing (PDC) is now considered a threshold concept for computing, and is embedded in computing curricula across the globe. While the costs of traditional computing clusters have made developing practical activities challenging, the rise of low-cost computers, particularly the Raspberry Pi, has led to an exploration of how PDC can be taught to students using Raspberry Pi clusters. Building on this work, we report our experiences from developing a series of low-cost Raspberry Pi clusters for use with open distance university students. Based on survey results from 484 students, we argue that our work demonstrates the benefits that remote practical activities can have for teaching PDC concepts, as well as engaging students. We conclude with a discussion of two key challenges: supporting active learning through student-led programming on the clusters, and supporting lower-performing students at a distance.
并行和分布式计算(PDC)现在被认为是计算的一个门槛概念,并被嵌入到全球的计算课程中。虽然传统计算集群的成本使开发实践活动变得具有挑战性,但低成本计算机的兴起,特别是树莓派计算机,促使人们探索如何使用树莓派集群向学生教授PDC。在这项工作的基础上,我们报告了我们开发一系列低成本树莓派集群的经验,供远程开放大学学生使用。基于484名学生的调查结果,我们认为我们的工作证明了远程实践活动对PDC概念教学以及吸引学生的好处。最后,我们讨论了两个关键挑战:通过学生主导的集群编程支持主动学习,以及远程支持表现较差的学生。

This paper examines the pedagogical integration of Virtual Microscopes (VMs) in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), to identify best practice and improve online pedagogy. It has captured the perspectives of 12 Health and Earth Science university teachers, through in-depth interviews, about the current integration of the VM in online teaching, benefits and challenges, and their recom- mendations for enhancing online and distance learning. Findings revealed that the VM has been integrated in online courses in varied ways, addressing diverse learning objectives. Teachers noted two particular challenges: (a) the need for support throughout the lifecycle of a course, and while students are using the VM, that will complement the introductory support currently provided, and (b) the design of VM learning activities that promote higher order thinking skills. Implications about the significance of enga- ging teachers with the process of designing online courses and using the VM to enable remote learning in cases of emergency are discussed. tutor.

This paper presents the results of empirical research conducted to examine the opinion of teachers of vocal, instrumental, and theoretical teaching at Croatian and Serbian music schools on distance learning. The survey was conducted during May 2020, at a time when all music schools have completely switched to a distance learning system due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that teachers, despite numerous problems, especially poor internet connections and poor sound quality obtained by electronic devices, have successfully coped with the realization of distance music teaching. Statistically significant differences were found in teachers' responses about distance learning regarding the type of classes led by teachers, so teachers who lead instrumental and vocal classes are better at performing distance learning compared to those who lead theoretical classes. Despite the belief of teachers that the transfer of complete knowledge is impossible through technology, most of them are open to the possibility of meaningful application of ICT. Therefore, the issue of professional development and continuous support to teachers by the competent institutions of Croatia and Serbia is intensifying.
本文介绍了克罗地亚和塞尔维亚音乐学校声乐、器乐和理论教学教师对远程学习的看法的实证研究结果。该调查于2020年5月进行,当时由于新冠肺炎疫情,所有音乐学校都已完全转向远程学习系统。结果表明,尽管存在许多问题,特别是网络连接不良和电子设备音质不佳,教师们还是成功地实现了远程音乐教学。在统计上,教师对远程学习的反应与教师领导的班级类型存在显著差异,因此,与领导理论课的教师相比,领导器乐和声乐课的教师更善于进行远程学习。尽管教师们相信,通过技术不可能转移完整的知识,但他们中的大多数人都对有意义地应用信息和通信技术持开放态度。因此,克罗地亚和塞尔维亚主管机构对教师的专业发展和持续支持问题正在加剧。

Deliberations about digital learning: finding a way forward 关于数字学习的思考:寻找前进的道路
IF 4.8 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-06-22 DOI: 10.1080/02680513.2022.2081071

We know that learning is a complex business, and various theories emphasise different facets of learning (Illeris, 2009) which leaves problems about how we study learning and the technologies used to facilitate learning (Laurillard, 2002). Learning can become even more difficult when the delivery medium changes and students are charting new waters as during the pandemic when teaching and learning was delivered completely online. The OpenVoices on COVID-19 special issue of Open Learning (Whitelock et al., 2021) reflected upon the shift to online learning, prompting changes to teaching, learning and assessment, emphasising approaches that have been tested and shown to be effective in enabling students’ growth and development. This issue continues to highlight further deliberations around digital learning and how it supports student success. One of the major questions for both students and teachers alike, when moving into an emergency digital ecosystem, is how will learners cope in order to succeed? The first paper in this edition, by Alqurashi (2022), throws some light on this question. Alqurashi used publicly available data from a United States National Survey of Student Engagement analysing over 16,500 responses from undergraduates designated as high or low performers, who took all their courses on line. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether there was a difference between high and low achieving students’ engagement compared to their subsequent course achievement. Alqurashi selected seven engagement indicators that focussed on teaching and learning practices: higher-order learning, reflective and integrative learning, learning strategies, quantitative reasoning, collaborative learning, student–faculty interaction and effective teaching practices. The statistical analysis revealed that high achieving students were significantly higher than low achieving students in higher-order learning, effective learning strategies, effective teaching practices, and reflective and integrative learning. The interesting finding for course design and resourcing was that low achieving students were significantly higher than high achieving students in student–faculty interaction, suggesting more help is sought from tutors by the lower achieving students. The study can only speculate on the type of help sought by these students from staff. However, using lack of engagement as reported by Herodotou et al. (2020) can act as a pre indicator of drop out which in turn alerts tutors to provide further support. No differences were found in the collaborative learning variable, when it could be postulated that lower achieving students would seek more support from their peers through the use of online discussion forums. The second paper by Griffin and Roy (2022) employed a suite of studies to investigate the efficacy of online discussion forums. This research was conducted with students from the UK’s Open University with 429 responses to questions sent to 5,748 stu
我们知道学习是一项复杂的业务,各种理论强调学习的不同方面(Illeris,2009),这就留下了我们如何研究学习以及用于促进学习的技术的问题(Laurillard,2002)。当教学媒介发生变化,学生们正在绘制新的水域时,学习可能会变得更加困难,就像疫情期间完全在线教学一样。《关于新冠肺炎的开放之声》特刊《开放学习》(Whitelock et al.,2021)反思了向在线学习的转变,促使教学、学习和评估发生了变化,强调了经过测试并证明有效促进学生成长和发展的方法。这个问题继续强调围绕数字学习及其如何支持学生成功的进一步讨论。当学生和教师进入紧急数字生态系统时,他们面临的一个主要问题是,学习者将如何应对才能取得成功?本版的第一篇论文由Alqurashi(2022)撰写,对这个问题进行了一些阐述。Alqurashi使用了美国全国学生参与度调查的公开数据,该调查分析了16500多名被指定为表现优秀或表现不佳的本科生的回答,他们在线学习了所有课程。这项研究的目的是调查与随后的课程成绩相比,成绩高和成绩低的学生的参与度是否存在差异。Alqurashi选择了七个专注于教学和学习实践的参与度指标:高阶学习、反思和综合学习、学习策略、定量推理、协作学习、师生互动和有效的教学实践。统计分析显示,在高阶学习、有效的学习策略、有效的教学实践以及反思性和综合性学习方面,成绩优异的学生显著高于成绩较差的学生。关于课程设计和资源配置的一个有趣发现是,在师生互动中,成绩较差的学生明显高于成绩较高的学生,这表明成绩较低的学生会向导师寻求更多帮助。这项研究只能推测这些学生向工作人员寻求的帮助类型。然而,根据Herodotou等人的报告,利用缺乏参与。(2020)可以作为辍学的预先指标,从而提醒导师提供进一步的支持。合作学习变量没有发现差异,可以假设成绩较低的学生会通过使用在线论坛寻求同龄人的更多支持。Griffin和Roy(2022)的第二篇论文采用了一系列研究来调查在线讨论论坛的功效。这项研究是对英国开放大学的学生进行的,共向5748名学生发送了429份问题回复。尽管总体应答率只有7.5%,但研究生模块的应答率更高。这些问题探讨了学生在参加“导师小组”论坛时对自己感受的看法。他们发现消极和积极的学生开放学习:《开放、距离和电子学习杂志2022》,第37卷,第3期,215–218https://doi.org/10.1080/02680513.2022.2081071
