Innovation and ICT enabling changes in education

  • Communication & collaboration


    In responding to the questionnaire, communication and collaboration are the prime uses that ICT is put to in seeking to change education. ICT is seen as a vehicle for collaboration and contact with others at any time and place, enabling, for example, communication between parents and authorities. ICT is also seen to extend both the scope of communication but also the role of students, enabling them to collaborate and communicate with learning partners and become decision-makers in their own learning. Tools such as blogs, wikis and pod/videocasting are proposed to support flexibility by working online and making communication, edition and publishing easy across the world. ICT is also seen to encourage and help teachers by providing dynamic, easily accessible guidance and communication resources whereby they can find support and communicate with coaches and colleagues. Finally, several people pointed to the increasing use of ICT to support social networks and the potential use of these for learning.

Regressionsanalyse – Wikipedia

Definition von Regression
Spannend aus meiner persönlichen Sicht die (eigentlich einfache.. aber ich verwechsle es ständig) definition von abhängiger, interessierender, Response Variable und im Gegensatz dazu die unabhängige, erklärende, beschreibende exogene Variable.

Cooperative Learning - Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology

Collaborative vs. Cooperative Learning

Collaborative and cooperative learning are so closely related that the two terms are often used interchangeably. However, let's take a moment to address the similarities and differences in the two. Both learning theories assign specific tasks, both use groups, and both require the students to share and compare their findings. In both cases, discovery approaches are used to teach interpersonal skills and student talks are stressed as a means for working things out.

Collaborative learning has British roots and is based on the findings of English instructors who explored ways to help students take a more active role in their learning. It is a teaching methodology in which "students team together to explore a significant question or a meaningful project" (Disney).

Cooperative learning, which will be the focus of this chapter, was first used in America and can be traced back to John Dewey's philosophy of the social nature of learning. It is a "specific kind of collaborative learning" (Disney). In this setting, not only is the group assessed as a whole, but students are also individually accountable for their work.

    A climate such as that created by cooperative learning will help Mrs. Solomon to better manage her classroom and help to keep the students on task. By following the guidelines presented in this chapter, Mrs. Solomon will be able to help her students use cooperative learning to acquire the knowledge necessary to reach the objectives of the course.

Half an Hour: The Cloud and Collaboration

  • Such approaches to communication have their grounding in "incommensurability" or "indeterminacy" theses of meaning; we see these reflected in Kuhn's theory of paradigm change and Quine's discussion of radical translation respectively. As Quine says, it's not simply that we can't say that two utterances have the same meaning, it's that there might not even be an objective meaning to be right about. (Quine, 1960, p. 73) What underlies communication, what makes community possible, in such cases is not sameness of entity or shared meaning, but rather, our entering into a system of interaction with each other, into what Wittgenstein calls a "language game", the result of a negotiation calls and responses, where thinking is an activity, similar to, as he says in the Blue Book, a movement of the hand, the presumption of meaning being an ungrounded inference, a projection, or as Quine says, an "analytic hypothesis." (Wittgenstein, 1991, p. 16)

  • Instead of attempting to identify thought-leaders, for example, and instead of attempting to identify and understand the content created on the web, the various activities of participants in the network are acts of interaction and communication. The semantics, the meaning, of interactions are not deducible from their contents; indeed, their contents are, from the larger perspective, irrelevant. Rather, we should treat them as contentless 'words' or 'signals' in a complex communication taking place among the entities. A web video created by a skateboarder: that's a word. A lolcat created in photoshop: that's a word. This article: that's a word.

CSCL Community: Practice Perspectives in CSCL

Schatzki, Knorr Cetina, and Savigny (2001), for some researchers there has been a “practice turn” in contemporary theory, in which analytic focus has shifted from explicit knowledge and social structures to “practices as embodied, materially mediated arrays of human activity centrally organized around shared practical understanding” (p. 2).
