Challenges for Teaching and Learning



  RQ 1. What are appropriate didactical approaches
  for teaching-learning scenarios nowadays?

  RQ 2. To what extent can Educational Technology
  be integrated to strengthen active learning, student
  engagement and collaborative creativity?

My research is influenced by...
Sociology

• Social Construction of Reality (Berger & Luckmann, 1967) -
  "Objective facticity"
• Duality of social structures (Anthony Giddens)
• Mediatization (Hjarvard 2008)


Central concept
• Society designs new forms of media and communication
• New media affects society - media is integrated into the
  operations of social institutions. Media becomes an active agent
• People live in a media-constructed world where we have a
  difference between 'reality' and 'reality given by different media'

Case study 1


 Course „Industrial project management“ (IPM2):
 • Summer 2011
 • 23 students in engineering education
 • Aim: To apply what they have learnt in IPM 1
 • Assignment: the students got a task by a real firm
 • iPods for supporting cooperation/communication
 • Participant observation and interviews


 Results
 • Students did not use iPods (or just very little use)
 • Students prefered to meet face-to-face.

What the students said...


Why the students did not use the iPods
• Mobile devices were too small
• WIFI were not available on the road
• Students said, no difficulties to coordinate their group work.


However, the students said, it was difficult to figure out...
a)What was the problem of the firm? ,
b)How to proceed to develop a solution?


Students said, support were needed when to develop a solution
 to the firm‘s problem – here, the iPods could be useful to
 support creative thinking, collaborative creativity!




                                                                   25
The problem....

 • Students missed support for
       a)Collaborative creativity => How to support collaboration; to
         develop collaboratively a solution to a problem when
         there exist no correct answer?

       a)Problem-solving processes
         Planning and conducting a project, needs professional
         knowledge and creativity but the latter was not part of the
         didactical design.


 • Other problems
       – It was not clear for the students when to use the different technical
         platforms (what to use when for what purposes?)

The change of designing teaching


                 How do students construct new knowledge…
             ….when the answer to a particular problem is not known?

       => creativity is required!

  Research questions
  a)What is creativity in formal education (schools, HE)?
  b)To what extent support ICT/iPads different forms of creativity?
  c)What didactical designs for teaching/learning do universities need
   to foster creativity?

Study 2 – DaVINCI - What is creativity?



             Creativity is a social construction

             It can’t be measured in general

             But it can be contextualized by asking the
             involved people

             …in that way, the construction becomes visible.

“What is a creative effort
given by your students?”
(open question, coded later => 6 facets)




  Facet 1 - self-reflections, self-reflective learning

  Facet 2 – independent learning (making decisions)

  Facet 3 - curiosity, motivation to learn

  Facet 4 – learning by creating something

  Facet 5 - multi-perspective thinking

  Facet 6 – reaching for original, entirely new ideas

 We did design methods how to evaluate the 6 facets:
 A questionnaire, informal feedback, and product analysis

 We created different courses

Evaluation results
++
• Facet 4 – learning by constructing was successful
• Facet 6 – the course triggered the students to deveop new ideas

+
• Facet 1 – Students were able to reflect their learning activities,
  however, a deeper critical self-reflection was missing.

neutral
• Facet 2 – Students had a range of making own decisions, students
  made positive comments

--
• Facet 3 – no change in motivation
• Facet 5 – no multi-perspective thinking

Why the students did not use the iPods • Mobile devices were too small • WIFI were not available on the road • Students said, no difficulties to coordinate their group work. However, the students said, it was difficult to figure out... a)What was the problem of the firm? , b)How to proceed to develop a solution? Students said, support were needed when to develop a solution to the firm‘s problem – here, the iPods could be useful to support creative thinking, collaborative creativity! 25

    The problem.... •Students missed support for a)Collaborative creativity => How to support collaboration; to develop collaboratively a solution to a problem when there exist no correct answer? a)Problem-solving processes Planning and conducting a project, needs professional knowledge and creativity but the latter was not part of the didactical design. • Other problems – It was not clear for the students when to use the different technical platforms (what to use when for what purposes?)

Editor's Notes

  • #2 In the age of Web 2.0 and social media, a constantly ubiquitous online presence is available - the ubiquitous access to information is quickly and easily. The teachers present theories, models and results, and some students "google" at the same time whether that is true what is being said. For the"Homo Interneticus" it is normal to search for facts. Discussions and learning cultures are changing.   What are appropriate didactical teaching-learning scenarios nowadays? To what extent can Educational Apps/Technology be integrated to strengthen active learning (student engagement) and collaborative learning? ((What are the right conditions?)) The talk gives answers in form of case studies and theses which illustrate changes towards digital didactical designs in universities and schools. Digital media enable learning in unexpected places online through established boundaries. If this is the case, then we face the challenge to understand teaching, learning and didactics in a new way – instead of a ‘text book learning’ only, that represents receptive, consumer-oriented teaching, we need creativity-focused didactical designs to enhance a meaningful learning experience.
  • #3 Umeå – Oslo = ca. 900 km
  • #5 Here you see 2 photos from Umeå University build in 1965 according to an American university Campus role model. It is a relax atmosphere , nice location outside, in the summer .
  • #6 Umeå is also known as the city of the birches Because of a big fire Downtown in the 19 century where a lot of houses burnt down, birches are trees which have a lot of waTER inside And so, to prevent a big fire storm again, you can see birches everywhere
  • #8 When I moved in 2011 to Umeå , one year ago, I started with a project called “taking a photo whenever I see something special what is different from “my” old cultures in Germany” Here I give you 2 examples This photo shows a chair in Umeå Downtown near by the opera house where 2 people have a seat. The special thing is that FIRST it is heated in the winter, so you also can sit there when there is snow around you. SECOND, you have free wireless access to the internet. This kind of “social installation” has been made in 2002 by Mikael Richter, 10 years ago!
  • #9 This is my favorite photo. My best argument for eLearning ? Without using any new technologies you don ’t have access to public toilettes or restrooms. On this picutre, you see how to use your cell phone, You call an operator, s/he sends an SMS with a code to your cellphone and with that code you enter the door. This service costs 5 swedish krones

  • #19 Coming back to the questions: “how to design a combination of formal teaching and informal learning”
  • #30 These concepts might be true for their specific contexts! However, what is creativity in higher education from the university teachers points of view?
