About Programming
Programming is cheap
Programming is ubiquitous: it can be done in isolation, and in
group... locally or over the Internet
Programming promotes some social skills and team work
Programming practice provides early (usually, instantaneous)
feedback
Programming releases endorphins (no scientiﬁc evidence, yet ;)
There are (software) tools that can help in the learning process

This document discusses the role of affective states in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments. It begins by providing background on CSCL and benefits of collaborative learning. While collaborative learning has potential benefits, proper design and facilitation is needed. The document then discusses challenges in providing intelligent support for CSCL. It reviews literature on affective states (emotions, moods, personality traits) used in CSCL environments. Several studies empirically evaluated the effects of considering affective states, finding benefits like reducing frustration and improving interactions. However, more research is still needed to fully understand the effects of affective states and create frameworks to apply this knowledge in building better intelligent CSCL environments.

Cognitive Culture and Learning Project Greer

James Greer

This document summarizes a project exploring how cognition, culture, and learning theories like constructivism and connectivism can support personal learning networks employing a variety of resources. It discusses four topics that contribute to this approach: cognitive science, educational neuroscience, learning theories, and culture. For each topic, it provides an overview and references for further reading. Across all topics, it identifies recurring themes of the individual nature of learning, benefits of collaboration, and the ongoing role of teachers in facilitating networks.

Learning Analytics: what are we optimizing for?

Simon Buckingham Shum

The document discusses learning analytics and the current and future state of higher education. It covers topics such as learning analytics frameworks including macro, meso, and micro levels; the convergence of learning analytics layers; and building an analytics ecosystem involving learners, educators, and various teams. It questions whether institutions will understand how to apply analytics at different levels or be dazzled by dashboards. It also discusses using analytics to identify effective learning conversations and different types of discourse.

Social media & learning

John Hannon

The document discusses social media and learning on the cloud. It begins by defining social media as web and mobile technologies that allow for interactive dialogue, exchange of user-generated content, and mediate human communication. It then discusses tensions around viewing social networking and social learning as separate domains. Finally, it proposes some ways universities can respond to social media, including shifting the focus from containing social media to developing digital literacies, from containment of learning environments to supporting mobile learning, and from software training to staff development around collaborative learning.

The SmartZoos project aims to integrate zoos in the Central Baltic region by developing and implementing a cross-border service package for creative adventure learning using mobile devices. The project will design, develop, pilot, and market this service package, which includes an online tool for creating location-based interactive assignments and a mobile application for guiding learners through the zoos. This is intended to form a joint tourist attraction across the participating zoos in Estonia, Finland, and Sweden.

ANR #CreaMaker workshop: co-creativity, robotics and maker education

Margarida Romero

This document summarizes a workshop on co-creativity, robotics, and maker education. It discusses how maker-based projects have the potential to develop creativity through individual and collaborative contexts. It also aims to analyze the development of creativity in team-based maker activities. The workshop brought together researchers from several countries to advance understanding of how to design, implement, and evaluate co-creativity in technology-enhanced learning contexts, particularly maker education. Several presentations are summarized, including ones on assessing co-creativity, developing computational thinking through games and comics, and using robotics in education.

2019 Cocreativity workshop proceedings

Margarida Romero

This document discusses co-creativity in maker education contexts. It describes the Invent@UCA program at Université Côte d'Azur which aims to foster skills like creativity, collaboration, and problem solving through real-world challenge-based learning. Students work in multidisciplinary teams on challenges presented by companies through programs like DEMOLA or on societal issues through initiatives like OASIS. The program brings together different schools and institutions to create a collaborative environment that supports creativity. It also discusses developing co-creativity in maker education contexts through hands-on projects that engage students in collaborative design and problem solving.

Guest Lecture: Restoring Context in Distance Learning with Artificial Intelli...

Daniele Di Mitri

Presentation given on the February 1st, 2022 at the "Brown Bag" presentation series organised by the Faculty of NYU Educational Communication and Technology which is part of the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. https://www.ectstudent.info/news-events/brown-bag-dr-daniele-di-mitri Presentation Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic forced more than 1.6 billion learners out of school, becoming the most challenging disruption ever endured by the global education systems. In many countries, education institutions decided to move their regular activities online, opting for remote teaching as an emergency solution to continue their education. Meanwhile, physical distancing and learning in isolation heavily challenge learners and hinder their study success. There is a compelling need to make education systems more resilient and less vulnerable to future disruptions in such a critical landscape. In particular, we have to reconsider how digital technologies can support online and hybrid teaching. If digital education technologies such as video conferencing tools and learning management systems have improved to make educational resources more available and education more flexible, the modes of interaction they implement remain essentially unnatural for the learner due to a substantial lack of context. Modern sensor-enabled computer systems allow extending the standard human-computer interfaces and facilitate richer multimodal interaction. Furthermore, advances in AI allow interpreting the data collected from multimodal and multi-sensor devices. These insights can be used to support online teaching and learning in isolation with personalised feedback and adaptation through Multimodal Learning Experiences (MLX). This guest lecture elaborates on existing approaches, architectures, and methodologies. I illustrate use cases that employ multimodal learning analytics applications that can shape the online teaching of the future.

Malinka Ivanova

The document analyzes personal learning networks (PLNs) and how they can support optimizing teachers' effectiveness and productivity. It explores related work on networked learning and social networks. A survey of teachers from various countries and subjects was conducted to understand how teachers structure their PLNs using social media and what purposes they use their networks for. The results found that teachers actively use social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn both personally and professionally to expand their knowledge and collaborate with others. The document discusses developing a model to optimize PLNs to better facilitate teachers' practice.

Digital Learning Ecosystems

Mart Laanpere

This document discusses conceptualizing virtual learning environments as digital learning ecosystems. It notes a lack of connection between existing conceptualizations and educational theory. The document then introduces the concept of a digital learning ecosystem as an adaptive socio-technical system consisting of interacting digital tools, services, and content; communities of users; and their social, economic, and cultural environment. Key questions are discussed around advantages and disadvantages of this approach compared to traditional views, and how concepts from ecosystems ecology could inform research on digital learning ecosystems.

Analyzing Learning FLows in Digital Learning Ecosystems

Mart Laanpere

This document discusses analyzing learning flows in digital learning ecosystems. It describes digital learning ecosystems as socio-technical systems consisting of digital tools, services, content, and user communities. It proposes combining the Experience API (xAPI) specification with the Uptake Framework to record and analyze learning interactions in digital ecosystems at scale. By annotating events with pedagogical verbs and domain concepts, this approach could provide feedback to learners and teachers through uptake diagrams and contingency maps of interaction patterns. The approach is demonstrated through a concept mapping scenario and holds potential for advancing analytics of distributed and user-defined learning interactions.

Personal Learning Environments as Enablers for Connectivist MOOCs

Denis Gillet

This paper presents how platforms initially designed to enable the construction of personal learning environments can help teachers and learners to aggregate their own MOOCs from resources freely available in the Cloud under Creative Commons licenses. Compare to the mainstream MOOC platforms like Coursera or EdX which are basically learning management systems open to external students, the proposed solution offers built-in social media features to boost opportunistic interaction and informal exchanges between students.

Open Education and Teaching Profession in 2030

Riina Vuorikari

The document discusses open education and the teaching profession in 2030. It provides historical context on open education, from correspondence courses to massive open online courses (MOOCs). The document then outlines five scenarios for what the teaching profession could look like in 2030 based on emerging technologies and trends: 1) a centralized European education network, 2) a decentralized social network approach, 3) use of intelligent agents and recommendations, 4) diversified teaching careers using remote presence and analytics, and 5) informal peer learning camps. The final section poses discussion questions about which scenarios are desirable or undesirable and what needs to be done to influence the future of teaching.

Networked Teachers

Maria Ranieri

This document discusses the potential of using social networks for teacher professional development. It begins by defining key terms like "networked" and explores the needs of teachers for professional development and different types of professional knowledge. It then examines the benefits and challenges of teachers using social networks, providing examples of Facebook groups created for this purpose. The document concludes by envisioning a future of collaborative problem solving, openness, and sustainable innovation through networked teacher communities.

Terry Anderson

Technological advances have enabled three generations of distance education pedagogies: 1) behaviorist/cognitive pedagogies emphasizing individual study, 2) constructivist pedagogies focusing on group learning, and 3) connectivist pedagogies based on network learning. Each generation is associated with different types of knowledge and technologies that both determine and are determined by the pedagogical approach. New technologies continue to enhance existing pedagogies while also enabling new forms of learning to emerge.

This document discusses how project-based learning (PBL) can be used to develop students' critical thinking skills. It outlines six stages of critical thinking, from unreflective to accomplished thinker. PBL provides authentic problems for students to solve collaboratively, developing 21st century skills. When integrated with technology and online collaboration tools, PBL can transform teachers into facilitators and help students advance through the critical thinking stages. The conclusion emphasizes that regular practice is needed for students and educators to improve their own critical thinking abilities. PBL combined with online resources is presented as an effective way to cultivate students' critical thinking development.

Critical Thinking and English Education (Christopher J. Long, 2003)

itarankoto

1. The document discusses the debate around teaching critical thinking skills in English education in non-Western contexts like Japan. 2. It defines critical thinking as a set of skills rather than a single skill, and argues that culture influences individuals' strengths and weaknesses in critical thinking. 3. It rejects the idea that those from non-Western cultures are less suited for critical thinking, and argues that recent educational reforms in Japan aim to develop critical thinking skills, so teaching these skills supports domestic policy goals.

This document discusses critical thinking and its importance in education. It introduces critical thinking as the ability to determine the truthfulness of claims and ideas, and explains that developing critical thinking skills allows students to better understand and apply knowledge. The document also references Bloom's Taxonomy, a framework for categorizing intellectual skills, and suggests designing lesson plans that incorporate critical thinking activities and objectives based on Bloom's levels of cognitive complexity.

Critical Thinking in 21st Century Education

breezyanna101

This document discusses critical thinking and how technology can be used to develop these skills. It defines critical thinking as going beyond memorization to apply own thoughts to situations and form arguments or solve problems. Using tools like Twitter, Facebook, posters, blogs and movie maker can help examine concepts from multiple perspectives and identify patterns to make abstract connections. An example is provided of using these tools to have students critically think of ideas to solve poverty and hunger by creating videos, posters, movies and presenting on Facebook. The conclusion states critical thinking is essential for today's global society and technology can be used to develop these important skills in students.

Developing critical thinking skills in distance education

rosemondl

This document discusses developing critical thinking skills in distance education. It defines critical thinking as a higher-order skill that involves rationally evaluating actions and beliefs according to certain criteria. It notes that teaching students how to think, rather than what to think, is important. The document outlines characteristics of critical thinkers, such as being flexible and skeptical. It recommends best practices for developing critical thinking in distance education, including collaboration through wikis, blogs, and discussions. Students should ask questions, listen to each other, and build on each other's ideas. Instructors should guide discussion with probing questions and encourage participation.

21st Century Education (Critical Thinking)

katelynnx11

Critical thinking is the process of actively conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to reach a conclusion. It involves taking existing knowledge and using it to solve new problems. Critical thinking is important because it allows people to form opinions and conclusions based on facts. In the 21st century, critical thinking is especially crucial due to the abundance of information available online, including false information. Teaching students critical thinking skills will help them make effective use of information and question claims. An example of applying critical thinking is evaluating whether the US Constitution remains a living document by considering elements like the Elastic Clause and amendments. Technology like WebQuests can also facilitate critical thinking by guiding research on problems.

10 Effective Methods: Infusing Critical Thinking in Online Education

Nova Southeastern University Abraham S. Fischler School of Education

This document discusses 10 effective methods for infusing critical thinking into online education. It begins by explaining why critical thinking is important as it cultivates student curiosity and encourages engagement, integrity, empathy and responsibility. It then outlines 10 methods which include: providing thoughtful curriculum and critical thinking questions, using Bloom's taxonomy, arousing student curiosity with assignments, stressing the importance of critical thinking, providing in-depth assignments, teaching transferable decision making skills, developing effective online groups, exposing students to cultural conditioning, and implementing and evaluating virtual learning. The goal is to prepare students to be visionary leaders with strong critical thinking skills.

CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS IN TEACHER EDUCATION: NEED AND STRATEGIES

American Research Thoughts

Abstract: Today’s citizens need to think globally while acting locally, conscious of the fact that their actions can have far reaching implications despite their absence. And teacher’s actions in the classroom are pertinent to the development of future adult citizens. Human actions are nothing but a manifestation of their thoughts, teachers being human their actions whether within or outside the classroom too is a result of their thoughts. Present day schools no more house Monocultural Traditional Classrooms but have been replaced by Culturally Diversified Smart Classroom where in the main motto is ‚Sabke Saath, Sabka Vikas‛. Here no one is to be left behind on the basis of ethnicity, race, socio-economic status, gender, exceptionalities, language, religion, sexual orientation and geographical area. This demands that teachers impartially identify, tap-in and provide opportunities for the development of the unique abilities of the students. For this teachers will have to be able to carry out Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) that involves critical thinking, problem solving and creating with critical thinking at its foundational level. In fact a 21st century teacher to fully participate in the Global community needs to Master not only the 3R’s of reading, writing and arithmetic, but also the 4C’s i.e. critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration. The term ‘Master’ reminds us of the fact that effective teachers are made and not born, hence the concept of Teacher Education. Teacher Education is a teacher preparation programme wherein one of the main objectives is to help teachers develop the required skills to perform their task effectively in the school and classroom, here the Critical Thinking Skills. Here Albert Einstein can be aptly quoted where he stated: ‚Education is not the learning of facts but training the mind to think‛. The term Critical Thinking too finds expression in the National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education 2009-10 which aims at developing teacher’s ability to think and be critical, thus producing Humane and Professional teachers.

Critical Thinking in Education

A Faiz

This document discusses critical thinking and its application in education. It defines critical thinking as carefully questioning claims and seeking evidence to determine what to believe, as pioneered by Socrates. Critical thinking involves solving problems, making decisions, and evaluating information to achieve goals. The document outlines advantages like deeper learning and disadvantages like unwarranted assumptions. It argues promoting critical thinking in language classrooms improves higher-order skills, though this approach is not fully integrated in Indonesian education due to cultural constraints.

Critical Thinking in Emergency Services Education slide share

Rommie Duckworth

It’s clear that critical thinking must be part of an education program in order to teach students to become intelligent, compassionate and skillful emergency responders. But how do we accomplish this within the constraints of current educational curricula? This presentation is for anyone who wants to better incorporate critical thinking skills into their course content and testing processes. Critical thinking is vital not only for effective delivery of emergency services, but as a lifelong learning skill necessary for our students to excel as fire, rescue and EMS responders. Teaching Formats: -Lecture -Q & A -Role-Play Learning Objectives: Students will learn: -How to improve test scores, retention of knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge to street-level emergency services. -The role of critical thinking in decision making for emergency responders. -The selection and use of different motivators, presentation types and activities in the classroom. -Barriers and inhibitors to critical thinking in education and how to overcome them. -How the application of higher education theories such as Perry’s “journey of growth” from received knowledge to constructed knowledge is critical to create effective emergency responders.

Creating Tests that Measure Critical Thinking in Nursing Education

ExamSoft

Writing a good test engages both sides of your brain: indeed, test item writing is both an art and a skill. The good news is that practice can help you enhance your talents in both of these areas. Preparing multiple-choice and alternative-formatted questions, when done well, challenges you to use your knowledge of sound clinical practice gained over years of experience. But instead of just using this knowledge to determine if a student can recognize some basic facts, when you combine your talents and skills in creating a test that measures critical thinking ability, students’ answers to your well-written test questions can reveal not just whether or not they know the basic facts, but if they can apply them in a real-life situation that requires a high level of decision-making or problem-solving. Because most health science instructors were first clinicians and became academic faculty members much later as they moved along their career paths, the task of constructing critical-thinking test items and reliable and valid tests can seem overwhelming. Join this discussion about honing those item writing skills, and discover your talents using both sides of your brain to create a great test!
