Working towards the Sustainable Development Goals: quality digital education during COVID-19

Author(s): Pablo LAFARGA OSTÁRIZ,Rebecca SOLER COSTA / Language(s): English Issue: 30/2021

The last few years have shown a clear commitment to digital. In the case of the educational field, this new direction is being promoted by global objectives, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), specific legislation by each country, or technological progress itself. The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) can be a good interrelation of all of them, especially in view of the arrival of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19. A digital proposal whose growth during the second decade of the 21st century has been very significant, some reasons to consider are how it favors lifelong learning and both synchronous and asynchronous teaching-learning methods. That is why in this chapter we intend to provide a reflective analysis of the necessary rethinking of education today and what the role of the MOOC can be in this new context.

Education on the verge of changes. The process of education in terms of the cybernetic theory of character

Author(s): Izabela ZIĘBACZ / Language(s): English Issue: 15/2022

Contemporary change processes in the sphere of education are multi-context and determined by various factors. Undoubtedly, the factor organizing the discussion on the new model of education is the uncertainty related to the shape of the future. This uncertainty is caused by the direction of changes in the area of functioning and development of societies and the emergence of the knowledge-driven economy. These changes, in turn, are the result of the impact of mega trends, including the development of new information and communication technologies (ICT), globalization of various spheres of life, progressive phenomena of socio-economic polarization, cultural changes, acceleration of migration processes, etc. These changes set the framework for processes of education and upbringing generate numerous challenges in educational activity related to fundamental issues: how to teach? by what methods? What kind of results to expect? (Wasyluk et al., 2020). Educational institutions play an important role in this process, including universities, “where self-steering prevails over learning, externally guided” (Laurisz, 2022). M. Mazur’s (CTC) (1976) cybernetic character theory, pioneering on a global scale, is a proposition of a response to these educational challenges. This work is an attempt to use the CTC to identify the parameters of character of the studied students in the field of social work. The proposed solution may support didactic processes by optimally matching the efforts and capabilities of students to the needs of the education process.

In the world of digital media. The role of information technology in Polish and Czech secondary education

Author(s): Natalia Maria Ruman / Language(s): English Issue: 15/2022

Public schools have a basis for creating a new offer of multimedia activities. Every school should plan its development based on its resources and competences. Keeping up with the ever-changing reality, rather than sticking to once chosen directions, is the way to digital school individualization. Only such a school model allows to achieve beneficial for society educational results in the beginning of the 21st century. The types and scopes of proposed activities depend on the requirements for audiovisual equipment, and the competence of teachers. Multimedia is a combination of several different ways of conveying information in order to provide the audience with better prepared information. The article presents the results of a survey on the use of Information Technology in upper secondary education by teachers, which shows the extent of teachers’ knowledge of media education of young people, the support for this education, and the opinions about it at school. A selection of two secondary schools with similar fields of study in Poland and the Czech Republic is juxtaposed. The school should play a major role in the blended learning system by initiating and enabling remote learning (using the equipment of laboratories - computers with Internet access and the knowledge and skills of teachers).

Emotions Experienced by English Teachers While Taming the Unknown (Distance Learning) During the COVID‑19 Pandemic

Author(s): Marzena Wysocka-Narewska / Language(s): English Issue: 61/2023

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the current study was to investigate emotions accompanying teachers in the process of getting accustomed to the new situation of distance learning during the COVID-19 lockdown in secondary schools in Poland. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The research questions concerned the type of emotions teachers experienced, the triggers provoking most positive and negative emotions, as well as factors influencing teachers’ emotional states. The tool used in the study was the questionnaire by means of which the teachers were to identify emotions they had towards people who took part in the lesson, the lesson itself, the equipment used and other interrelated issues in line with Yik’s circular model of affect. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Distance learning causes many different emotions. The way teachers reach students remotely, often unfamiliar and unknown to many of the educators, has been further complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to fulfilling their teaching duties, the teachers had to face extra-curricular difficulties and dangers, such as infection, isolation and quarantine, and gradually get used to the new situation. RESEARCH RESULTS: The obtained results indicate emotional changes at each stage of getting accustomed to the new situation. The tendencies observed could be described as increasing negative feelings experienced by the sample at the very beginning of distant education that lowered towards the end of the school closure periods, and/or were replaced with positive ones. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS: The author presents measures to be used to improve the school situation, among which an immediate solution lies in the courses currently offered by many institutions, and IT support offered by schools. Also, ideas on how to expand the current study, involving those allowing for a comparison between different levels of education and among other participants of distance learning, such as primary/university teachers as well as learners and their parents and siblings.

Online výuka jako komplexní výuková metoda

Author(s): Lenka Hrušková / Language(s): Czech Issue: 3/2009

Computer education is one of the complex educational methods. Students’ functions have changed in education in a way of a bigger openness to the technical innovation, which the student of the tertiary educational sphere considers obvious and open. Modern didactic technology, especially computers, make a richer sensorial place for accepting and processing information. In the process of teaching interaction and communication, the technology becomes still more a mediator between a teacher and a student but it should never replace interpersonal contacts, weaken and deplete social relations.

ОБРАЗОВАЊЕ, НАУКА И НАЦИОНАЛНИ ИДЕНТИТЕТ ПРЕД ИЗАЗОВИМА ГЛОБАЛИЗОВАНОГ КАПИТАЛИЗМА

Author(s): Mihael T. Antolović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 187/2023

Comprehensive social changes, the process of globalization based on the principles of neoliberal ideology and the revolution in information technologies have fundamentally changed the conditions in which the educational system and science operate. Despite the series of negative consequences caused by the current commodification of education and scientific knowledge, within the Serbian academic community for a long time there was no reasoned discussion about these important changes that occurred during the past two decades. Bearing in mind the mentioned fact, the paper critically analyzes four recently published collections of works and the results of an empirical research that thematizes certain aspects of education, the role of the university, the results of the so-called “Bologna reforms”, the position of social sciences and humanities and their importance for national culture and identity.

Author(s): Irina-Ana Drobot / Language(s): English Issue: 22/2023

The purpose of the paper is to show how technology can be used to make attractive the learning of a foreign language. Social media posts about vocabulary in various foreign languages, for instance, as well as short conversational phrases, could be used to replace the traditional drill types of exercises. Videos that are present could be used to replace the traditional listening exercises. The social media posts could be used as additional material to what is used during class. It is assumed that social media is part of students’ lifestyle, and that learning foreign languages is adapted to modern life.

INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE ON-LINE EDUCATION PROCESS AT THE HIGHER EDUCATION LEVEL

Author(s): Monica Angela Bara / Language(s): English Issue: 23/2023

The period of study in the online environment can be a very demanding trial for students and masters, especially for those who are not familiar with computer technology. This is largely due to a complex of factors that come from the changes to which they are subjected, such as: leaving the parental home and settling into another living environment (living in dormitories or other forms of accommodation) but also settling with an unfamiliar and very different educational environment from what they were familiar with. Along with all the changes occurring in the family and social plan, the students had to adapt to the educational system made exclusively online. Higher education institutions in Romania use, as a method of knowledge transmission, traditional learning methods, namely they use face-to-face lecture-type courses in a lecture hall or practical and explanatory activities in a seminar/laboratory room.

DIGITALIZATION OF EDUCATION: IS AI AND CHAT GPT A SOLUTION?

Author(s): Alina Nicoleta Padurean / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

In recent years, the landscape of education has undergone a profound transformation due to the rapid advancement of digital technologies. One of the most intriguing avenues in this evolution is the integration of Artiﬁcial Intelligence (AI) and Chatbots like GPT, which have the potential to revolutionize the way education is imparted and received. By analysing the beneﬁts and limitations of these technologies, this study aims to provide insights into the eﬀectiveness of AI-driven educational tools, their impact on student engagement, and their ability to enhance personalized learning experiences. Additionally, ethical considerations of relying extensively on AI and Chat GPT in education are discussed. The study presented in this paper was conducted on BA and MA students enrolled at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences within Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, Romania.

BİLSEM ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN WEB 2.0 ARAÇLARINA YÖNELİK TUTUM VE YETKİNLİKLERİ

Author(s): Mustafa BAHAR,Mustafa KARAKILÇIK,Serkan ÖZTÜRK,Sıdıka TUTAL / Language(s): Turkish Issue: Sp. Issue/2024

This research aims to examine BİLSEM students' attitudes and usage competencies towards Web 2.0 tools. The research was conducted on 50 BİLSEM students and provides a comprehensive analysis to understand the relationships between demographic factors and attitudes towards Web 2.0 tools and usage competence. The research, which examined the demographic characteristics of the participants such as age, gender and education level, collected data with a survey form designed on the basis of scale development studies. While examining the impact of demographic characteristics on attitudes and usage competence towards Web 2.0 tools, the findings showed that they generally have similar levels of attitudes and competence. While attitudes were observed to be at an average level, usage competence was found to be at a medium level. Regression analysis results revealed that there is a strong and negative relationship between Web 2.0 attitude and usage competence. The results highlight that educators need to consider demographic factors to support students in using Web 2.0 tools more effectively. Considering the limitations of the research, it is recommended that future studies be conducted with larger sample groups and different demographic groups. This study aims to provide a valuable perspective to researchers, educators and policy makers who want to understand and improve technology integration in education.

GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – A THREAT TO THE EDUCATION SYSTEM?

Author(s): Roxana Paraschiv / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

This article addresses the use of artiﬁcial intelligence in education. Although the concept of artiﬁcial intelligence is not new, concerns about the implications of this topic have intensiﬁed with the advent of conversational models, also called generative artiﬁcial intelligence, capable of processing a large volume of information available on the internet and generating human-like answers to questions the user poses. The emergence of these systems has raised questions among teachers who are no longer certain that the work required of students is either written by them or obtained through artiﬁcial intelligence, and with these questions have also come calls for a ban on the use of chatbot systems by students. In the paper we look at the possible beneﬁts of using AI in education, but also the challenges that artiﬁcial intelligence brings. In a world where the sheer volume of information available in any ﬁeld exceeds the human capacity for assimilation or analysis, artiﬁcial intelligence can help us in synthesizing this information, in providing a starting point in the study of a particular topic. It is essential that starting with this information, the students seek further information, deepen the analysis, and write the research paper. It is natural that these systems that have recently emerged in public life and in the educational sphere should create unease and uncertainty among teachers but banning them is not the solution. The conclusion that must be drawn is that the only wise and eﬀective response of teachers to the use of artiﬁcial intelligence is to introduce students to both its beneﬁts and limitations, to encourage critical thinking, evaluation, and processing by the human user of any information provided by the chatbot.

A complex perspective on digital education development: From economic impact to community advancement

Author(s): Gabriella Velics / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Evidence shows that education prepares future generations for the future, but technological innovations are reshaping the present and the near future to such an extent that it is increasingly unpredictable what exactly future generations should be prepared for. The research was guided by Microsoft’s 2018 research summary, “Transforming education – Empowering the students of today to create the world of tomorrow”, which provided inspiration on the most common mistakes and how to avoid them. The first part of the paper reviews the societal drivers and imperatives for transforming education through a complex literature review, while the second part of the paper presents a practical organisational transformation process sequence. The paper presents Hungarian examples and cases, but it can also serve as a thought-provoking tool for the wider region, where the study of the process outlined reveals a striking contrast between potential and current transformation efforts. The purchase of technological equipment and the provision of schools with new educational technology is not achieving the desired objective, as the funds are not available. It is beneficial to examine the actions of the system developers and identify any attempts to bypass important considerations, and consider the reasons why such shortcuts are not sustainable solutions.
