This paper presents a two-year research work with the main goal of analyzing the resources production for online scenarios, as well as enhancing in-service primary and secondary school teachers' competence in this area. After detecting training shortfalls from 1,192 in-service Andalusian teachers using an ad-hoc Likert scale, an online training activity on e-course production was developed, and, upon completion, the participating teachers were surveyed regarding design alternatives (N=86). Results gathered were complemented by conducting a focus group with the course tutors. Initial data allowed to prioritize certain training pathways in the online education extent, such as OER authoring, e-learning standards, repositories, and e-course development. As per the instructional design study, it was emphasized the need for institutional support in course creation initiatives and appropriate designs by combining internal VLE tools and externally produced OER. Finally, feedback, peer evaluation, rubrics, and digital badges were denoted as key elements in e-course designs.

Implementing artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily lives has created new occupations and businesses. It has changed human activities and affected individual's behaviour, influencing our decisions. This study explores the opinions of individuals about the influences of implementing AI into the labour market, especially the issue of how AI could affect human employment. There are 144 participants who responded to this survey, and the data was analysed using descriptive statistics, the t-test to identify significant differences between men and women, as well as the Spearman correlation. The results provide interesting insights and only relevant statistics and significant results are presented.

Although group work has shown positive effects on student learning, it has been challenging to encourage students to actively engage in group work and assess individual contributions to group projects, particularly in online courses. Peer assessment is a peer evaluation method in which each student assesses group members on how well they did on a group project thereby facilitating students' participation in the group project. The purpose of this study was to examine how students perceived peer assessment as a facilitating and assessment strategy and whether their perceptions were different between online and face-to-face classes. The findings showed both face-to-face and online students perceived that peer assessment was not only a good way to facilitate students' participations and contributions, but it was also a reliable way to assess students' contributions to a group project.

This qualitative study explored the impact of the unexpected shift to online instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Preservice teacher candidates' perceptions of how this transition affected their social and emotional well-being were studied. This study also gathered candidates' recommendations for supporting their social and emotional learning in a distance learning environment. Data were collected via an online survey. The data showed that candidates felt the impact in all five social and emotional learning components. Candidates' responses also provided suggestions for future distance learning courses. These findings equip online instructors with the knowledge and practices to support their students' social and emotional learning, particularly during times of increased stress and uncertainty.

In recent decades, research studies on the flipped class pedagogy strategy have shown significant educational benefits in student learning across subjects and contexts. This investigation determines the extent to which the ODeL flipped instructional design enhances student teachers' pedagogical content knowledge of economics. An explanatory mixed-methods design, a self-designed online survey, and blogs were employed for data collection. This article reported positive experiences of students exposed to the educational benefits of flipped class as a digital pedagogy to learn how to teach the subject. Furthermore, social interaction, building relationships, and student learning about the types of sources used to learn how to teach economics are vital for the success of the strategy. Finally, it contributes methodologically to the validation and reliability of an online data collection instrument for future data collection purposes. The findings of this study are limited to a small group of student teachers in the course Teaching Methodology of Economics.

The advancement in network technology has stimulated the proliferation of online learning. Online learning platforms, such as the learning management systems (LMS) and e-book reading systems, are widely used in higher education to enhance students' reflection and planning of the learning process. Although many studies have explored the relationships between students' reading patterns and learning performances, few have examined the effects of self-regulated learning, learning strategy, and self-efficacy on the learning performance of students. Here, the authors collected the reading logs from an e-book reading system BookRoll and investigated the correlations between students' abilities of self-regulated learning, learning strategy, self-efficacy, and learning performance. The results of this study provide valuable insights to the teachers in higher education regarding designing courses helpful for students to improve their learning performance.

Taiwan is an aging society, but the appropriate designs must be considered in senior care spaces. Universal design knowledge has been addressed in universities, but students cannot imagine how age affects the needs of senior citizens physically and psychologically. The teaching practice in this study adopted a dyadic teaching method whereby students observed the needs of individuals in a nursing care center for elderly people. It also used cooperative learning methods for nursing students to discuss the needs of senior citizens and to help design students understand the lifestyles of senior citizens through the use of simulation devices. Through the feedback from the learning process, statistical analysis was used to assess the learning performance of students. The design studio used these two teaching methods, and the respective work was entered into an open design competition to verify whether teaching performance was successful. Approximately 70% of the works earned design awards. This provided a preliminary validation of the success of the respective teaching practice method.

As much as we do not like to admit it, the world we live in is nothing like the world of 50 years ago. A visitor from 1940 would not recognize the place he had come from, in styles of dress, doing things, and architecture too. People have had to adapt their lives as technology advanced, and in the last 50 years, more technological advancements happened than in 300 years before that. In our world where everything is perpetually changing, each person must make dynamic changes to be an effective agent for a better future. With all the changes that have occurred over the years of education, the one thing that has almost never changed is the need for all people to be critical thinking people and aware of everything else around them. Human beings are probably the only creatures in the world that are capable of critical thinking, and therefore are the sole agents of future changes. The likely candidates who are ready to take over this role of critical thinking is the group of undergraduate students who are soon to enter the world's economy. This paper will closely scrutinize the role of the critical thinker and elaborate on the methods to measure which can be suitable for all students to learn from so that they in turn can become critical thinkers. This will help affect the ever more necessary future changes for the continual betterment of the world and elucidate the critical thinking measurement methods that will be suitable to use with undergraduate students of all places and levels making it able to reveal, grade, and assess this skillset, which is ultimately important, but difficult to quantify. In this study, the author introduces the addition of a reversed system, the flipped classroom, in conjunction with the established norm of teaching methods.

This paper discusses a unified framework for systematic assessment and evaluation of student outcomes for a modern computer science (undergraduate) program seeking ABET accreditation. The framework uses a carefully designed sampling plan, informed by robust analysis and experiences over more than five years, to evaluate and assess student outcomes. The proposed framework is expected to enhance student learning and faculty satisfaction. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is validated using direct and indirect assessment data gathered from different stakeholders. Moreover, two consecutive, full six-years each, ABET accreditations (2013-2019 and 2019-2025) ascertain the robustness of the proposed framework.
