LANGAGE DES ÉMOTIONS, PROCESSUS DE MÉMORISATION ET CRÉATIVITÉ DANS LA COMMUNICATION HYBRIDE

Author(s): Euphrosyne Efthimiadou / Language(s): English,French Issue: 1/2023

In the socio-professional but also educational context, hybrid communication has exploded and has exerted a strong influence on our psychic but still physical life. In this sense, cybernetics makes it possible to exploit the mechanism of control and interaction in people in continuous motion. With the integration of digital media in all circumstances of human life, the exchange of digital data is continuously spreading without neglecting that these new modes of communication and collaboration can also condition our sensations but also our behavior by exerting an influence on our perceptions and thoughts but also on our mental state. On the other hand, human capacities linked to psychomotor factors make it possible to cultivate critical thinking, a sense of responsibility and cooperation. Yet, the risk of disruption could lead to a break with psychomotor investment. Ultimately, it is necessary to take into account social cognition and the role of memory in online interactions and learning techniques with the recourse of computer systems because the memorization of lived facts becomes profound if one experiences each situation in a state of strong emotion.

Academic Performance of Higher Education Students Through Online Learning

Author(s): Dwu Puspita Sari,Dheo Rimbano,Muhammad Nabil Arifin,Houtman Houtman,Jumroh Jumroh,Suryati Suryati / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between academic success and personal development in students, as measured by their grades. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of policies in higher education institutions that promote both academic achievement and personal growth. The analytical method used is confirmatory factor analysis. The result of this study shows that students' personal development has no impact on the determination of online learning policies. Hence online learning policy determination cannot affect the assessment of online learning outcomes. Nonetheless, student’s personal development undertaken can influence the assessment of online learning outcomes, and implementing online learning policies can mediate the effect of personal development on online learning outcomes assessment. Therefore, a student's future achievement should be determined only by the academic performance that does not have to depend on local government policy.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP IN GEORGIAN’S TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND PARENTS

Author(s): Sofiko Lobzhanidze,Giorgi Urchukhishvili,Marika Sikharulidze / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2023

The Council of Europe’s (CoE) model on Digital Citizenship Education (DCE) has at its basis the ‘Competencies of Democratic Culture’ model, which considers being an active and responsible citizen and implies the development of a set of lifelong competencies both online and offline at various levels, as well. Taking the ‘Competencies of Democratic Culture’ the CoE experts elaborated on the DCE domains, which are the appropriate way to develop democratic culture competences in the digital environment. Georgia, as a member country, signed the agreement on DCE to be applied at the K-12 curriculum level and joined the DCE project of the CoE in July 2020. Thus, as an educational concept, DCE is relatively new to the education system of Georgia. The aim of the study was to describe the current situation concerning DCE in Georgia, namely on awareness of the concept and its foundations, as well as identifying self-reported DCE competences by teachers, students and parents, in the light of the Ribble’s and the CoE’s models. Data was collected in five schools in 2020. The issue was studied using the quantitative method, an online survey, 1954 respondents were involved in the research. It was demonstrated that most of the respondents had a lack of awareness about information-communication technologies. It can be concluded that communication among school teachers, students and parents about the issues of digital security has not started yet. The correlation between the geographic location of a school and teachers’ digital competences is not confirmed.

Analysis of Primary School Teachers’ Distance Education Practices during the Covid-19 Pandemic in the Context of Classroom Management

Author(s): Sevgi Erguven Akbulut / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

This research employed a phenomenological design of qualitative research models to examine the views of primary school teachers about distance education during the pandemic in the context of classroom management. Fifteen teachers voluntarily participated in this research, conducted in Antakya, one of the central districts of Hatay province. The interview data collected during the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year were analyzed using a content analysis technique. As a result of the research, it was determined that the teachers frequently benefited from digital content and educational websites during the pre-class process and the class. It has been determined that visual materials are used frequently to motivate and attract students’ attention to the lesson. The lessons are generally taught through teacher-centered methods. Teachers did not think the environments where students attended online courses were suitable for teaching-learning processes. Teachers mostly determined the classroom rules related to the physical environment and technical subjects (keeping the microphone off, the camera on etc.). Planning and preparing before the lesson, using other lessons’ time to fulfill the course objectives, and assigning some activities as homework are the ways followed to manage and use class time effectively. The result showed that during the distance education process the communications with students were established through video calling and messaging after the class. The research showed that turning on the microphone, turning off the camera, being indifferent to the lesson, and interrupting the flow of the lesson are common problems in distance education. In addition, teachers experienced many problems during distance education due to technical/infrastructure issues, not having computers or cell phones for all students, simultaneous connection of more than one sibling to the lesson, parents’ not creating suitable class environments for the children, and incomplete/wrong learning. Teachers, who had constant communication with parents and continued dealing with students through WhatsApp groups after the lesson to cope with these problems, stated that their professional skills improved, but they were exhausted physically and emotionally.

Author(s): Andras Benedek / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

One of the specific areas of the global digital transformation in education is the continuing professional training of teachers. In this formal adult training that has taken place alongside work in the last 30 years, the impact of digital transformation can be considered a process suitable for general conclusions. About 25,000 students have graduated from the teacher leadership training program of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in the past three decades. This paper presents the content and organizational development process of this training program from the point of view of digitization transformation .The analysis of the theoretical and practical connections of the process analyzes the new kind of adult education characteristics of the function realized between 1993-2023 in parallel with the Digital Transformation. One aspect was based on a comparative study with international trends analysis), which resulted in the developing a new distance education model. From a methodological point of view, our innovation being described was essentially action research. Network structures were significantly created: teachers working in small and development groups comprising senior consultants."Distance education," which initially used classic correspondence solutions, was significantly transformed after the turn of the millennium precisely due to Digital Transformation. Learning Management Systems (LMS) and online solutions that make network communication continuous were developed between 2006-2018. This form of training proves with data that ways and opportunities can be created for quality training alongside work within the lifelong learning framework. The continuously detectable high level of student satisfaction indicates that, in addition to the many tensions of our current way of life and the confinement caused by the pandemic between 2020 and 2022 in the last few years, the prominence of online communication solutions can give a realistic chance of realizing the adult education goals by networking.

Influence of the low-cost digital contents in improvement of the students' learning experience

Author(s): Vase Tusevski,Vladimir Trajkovik / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2012

In the study process, the students have problems understanding parts or of the whole course curriculum. The most frequent reasons for these problems are: the student absence of one or more successive lectures, or the student lack to understand parts of the course curriculum. Depending on the structure and dependability of the lessons in the course curriculum, the student can have problems with small part or large number of lessons in the course curriculum. These might lead to complete misunderstanding of the course curriculum. In order to solve this problem, development and deployment of additional digital content is usually needed, which is both time and budget consuming. The high development and maintaining price are most common arguments which cause resistance against deployment of such systems in the educational institutions. In this article, we propose a model for broadening of the traditional study process by using low-cost digital content and distance learning. This model is inexpensive for deploying, administering and supporting and is simple to use, while the greatest benefit is increasing the students’ learning experience. In the paper, we will describe the distance education model that was used for content sharing together with the student survey reflecting on the achieved quality of learning experience.

As opposed to the time before this crisis, when it had been an option for certain categories of learners, with the pandemic going on, there has been emergency and forced shift to online environment which has had its impact on both teaching and learning. Purpose. This qualitative research was aimed to investigate the perception of the students of the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies (UCIPS) in Belgrade regarding the English Language 2 course primarily, but also regarding their online education in general. The questionnaire was designed, consisting of 11 multiple choice and open-ended questions combined. The goal was to investigate the opinions and experiences of the UCIPS students in order to get an in-depth insight into the problems related to online education. Results. The results suggest that in addition to the initial practical problems related to equipment and technology, the students faced other problems as well, including the lack of concentration, insufficient interaction, etc. However, there are some positive results: the students reported the overall satisfactions with the academic outcomes, and in their opinion the optimum way of teaching/learning would be a blended model. Conclusion. Our sample of Digital Natives have demonstrated the ability to recognize the main characteristics of online learning, its advantages and disadvantages, but also the objective and subjective aspects of problems. Although it was not a matter of choice for them, they have adapted to it well, as well as their teachers. The challenges however remain for both students and teachers in order for online education to be accepted even better in the future.

DEZVOLTARE SAU DEZUMANIZARE? LIMITELE NEEXPLORATE ALE IA GENERATIVE ȘI ALE EDUCAȚIEI DIGITALIZATE

Author(s): Lidija Ušurel / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2023

Human agency in education is the basic pillar of holistic human socialization and development. With the free launch of generative artiﬁcial intelligence (AI) on the global market, concerns about the possible unwarranted, even harmful, exploitation of this technological tool have been heightened by the lack of evaluation and regulation of its use. This paper argues that while any technological innovation can be used as a tool for human empowerment, it also has the potential to become a means of manipulation and debilitation. To elaborate on the two options, artiﬁcial intelligence, human intelligence and wisdom are brought face to face, and the beneﬁts and dangers of implementing generative AI in education are then discussed.
