Eğitim Alanında Metaverse Kullanımı

Author(s): Cansu Şahin Kölemen / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Metaverse is a technology that offers the possibility of realizing in a virtual way for situations that would not be possible, independently or dependent on the real world. In addition, it supports the socialization of individuals, the formation of their self-identities, the development of their self-efficacy and the revealing of their emotions. Contrary to the positive aspects it brings to this individual, the negative aspects of the metaverse are the use of technology for profit, the inability of individuals to adapt to technology quickly, and the deficiencies experienced in terms of content. Metaverse is starting to become widespread in every field due to its positive aspects. One of these areas is education. Because education should be suitable for the conditions of the current age and to meet the future needs. This is because one of the goals of education is to raise individuals who meet the needs of society. It should be integrated into the metaverse education-teaching process for the needs of the age we live in. In the learning process, the goals that the learner has difficulty in understanding can be made understandable with the metaverse. In order to eliminate the metaverse learning problem in education, it helps in facilitating and concretizing teaching so that learning can be permanent. In this way, the metaverse helps learners to move away from rote learning and to synthesize the new information they have acquired with previous information. From this point of view, the aim of this study is to contribute to the educational sciences literature of the concept of metaverse and its use. In the research, the review of the literature was made by the method of compilation.

Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Bilgi İşlemsel Düşünme Becerileri ile 21.Yüzyıl Becerileri Arasındaki İlişki

Author(s): Sefa Alper Kanatlı,Halit Karalar / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

To prepare today's students confidently for the future, it is necessary to equip them with different skills. Among these skills, 21st-century skills and computational thinking skills are crucial. While there are views suggesting that computational thinking skills contribute to the development of 21st-century skills, the relationship between these two skill sets remains uncertain. This study aims to examine the relationship between middle school students' computational thinking skills and 21st-century skills. In other words, it investigates whether there is a relationship between students' computational thinking skills and 21st-century skills and whether computational thinking skills serve as a meaningful predictor of 21st-century skills. Conducted with the participation of 328 eighth-grade students using a correlational survey design, this research employed the "Computational Thinking Scale" and the "21st-Century Skills Scale" to collect data, which were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. The research findings indicate that students have a high perception of both computational thinking and 21st-century skills. Moreover, a positive and significant relationship was found between computational thinking skills and 21st-century skills. The study also reveals that the abstraction, decomposition, algorithmic thinking, evaluation, and generalization skills that constitute computational thinking significantly predict 21st-century skills, explaining 72% of the variance in 21st-century skills. When examining the standardized regression coefficients, it can be concluded that evaluation, algorithmic thinking, generalization, decomposition, and abstraction skills are significant predictors of 21st-century skills in order of importance.

Connectedness, Collaboration, and Co-creation

Author(s): Ayine Nigo,Vincent Gibogwe / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

As the world we live in changes to embrace tech futures, how and what we teach in our education system will also be reshaped to keep up to date with the growing demands of the 21st century, hence the need for straightforward approaches to future Learning in the context of business and management. Our contributions to the call for book chapters in 'Digital Future in Education: Paradoxes, Hopes and Realities' will be based on the following three-sub-chapters, i.e., 1) Networking and team working, 2) Anywhere, anytime, learning, and 3) Customization for a learner-first approach. Our findings show that educators need to facilitate these experiences in context, and our classrooms need to reflect this model of learning. We also find out that the current and future environment for learning and teaching using the said methodology is too volatile to sustain this educational structure. Students will need to learn what they need and when they need it. Conversely, teachers will become facilitators of Learning and teaching, and students will have more control of their learning journey.

Exploring the Implementation of Online Learning at the Higher Institutions of Ethiopia: The Case of American College of Technology & Harambee University

Author(s): Aderajew Mihret Tessema / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Growing involvement of the Internet and digital media are shaping the present context of distance education (DE) and reconstructing the ways education is being provided globally. Whereas the generations of DE have counted to 5 phases, online learning has received the third generation in its development (Heydenrych and Prinsloo, 2010), and it is only recently that the approach has been practiced in Ethiopia giving accreditations to five HLIs to run the system to teach MBA courses. For its implementation to be successful, the system of online learning requires its practitioners to have got intensive professional development. This study believed that the proposed HLIs used the conventional school instructors while implementing the online learning program and doubted that there would be problems (that might arise from the lack of appropriate training, long-lived biases, short of tech skills, etc.) in satisfying the stakeholders taking part in the program. This study was meant to explore the experiences of American College of Technology (ACT) and Harambee University (HU) how they implemented the online learning program for the courses they provided to their MBA students. The study employed mixed methods design to get responses to the research questions and the ICDE rubric was also applied to triangulate the results generated for validity. The target population comprised of students, instructors, and coordinators of the aforementioned HLIs who were engaged in the online MBA program. In total, 200 senior students, all 18 instructors and 2 coordinators from the two institutions were targeted for the study. And according to Raosoft sample size calculator, assuming 5% margin of error (95% confidence level), the sample size for students grew to 132 and though questionnaires were sent to all 132 students, only 90 of them returned filling the questionnaires. The responses collected using questionnaires consisting of both closed and open-ended questions were analysed using IBM SPSS version 28 software and the results generated were interpreted accordingly. The study found out that in two of the HLIs, the syllabuses of the courses were organized as required by HERQA, and the contents were delivered partly only in audio formats. Two of the institutions managed to use MOODLE to develop the LMS whereby students could access courses electronically; however, the study revealed reasonable differences among the institutions regarding the interactions students were supposed to have with their instructors, the institution, and fellow students. Students need periodical feedback to remain in their learning being motivated and complete their course with all satisfaction that put them at par with the conventional schooling.
