Technology-Enhanced Learning: Review and Prospects

Westera, Wim (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

This paper is a reflection on the history and future of technology-enhanced learning. Over the last century various new technologies were introduced in education. Often, educational revolutions were proclaimed. Unfortunately, most of these new technologies failed to meet the high expectations. This paper reviews the rise and fall of various "revolutionary" learning technologies and analyses what went wrong. Three main driving factors are identified that influence the educational system:...

Vision for the Engagement of the e-Facilitator in School in the Inspiring Science Education Environment

Yoshinov, Radoslav, Kotseva, Monka (2015)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

The Inspiring Science Education project is all about elaborating a learning environment using an inquiry based learning (IBL) approach. The Inspiring Science Education portal as a main part of the environment is the place where a registered user can find (create) eLearning Tools and digital educational resources, which can be used in class and as a place to connect with like-minded teachers and schools around Europe to share experiences and collaborate on projects. On the other hand,...

Algorithmisation as mathematical activity and skills in connection with mathematical modelling

Anna Pyzara (2018)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis | Studia ad Didacticam Mathematicae Pertinentia

Similarity:

Good preparation of students to the profession of teacher is very important. In my research I focus on improving the quality of teacher's preparation at the university level, and through it at school level in the future. I present the proposal of teaching mathematics with the use of algorithmisation. It is possible, because solutions to many mathematical problems can be expressed in the form of an algorithm. The process of algorithmisation of mathematical issues is associated with various...

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Geographica

Similarity:

The Slovak education is currently experiencing a turbulent period associated with ongoing efforts to reform the education system, under-funding of education with low teacher salaries, overworked and feminized teaching staff, low social status of a teacher in society, problems in the creation and distribution of current textbooks, insufficient interest in studying natural sciences, leaving of young people to study abroad, etc. This situation is also reflected in the training of future...
