Book Synopsis Student Reactions to Learning with Technologies: Perceptions and Outcomes by : Moyle, Kathryn
Download or read book Student Reactions to Learning with Technologies: Perceptions and Outcomes written by Moyle, Kathryn and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the creation and adoption of new technologies has increased in recent years, the educational sector often limits technology use. Despite this, many researchers are convinced of the vital role that technologies can play in learning and teaching. Student Reactions to Learning with Technologies: Perceptions and Outcomes brings together recent research findings about the views and expectations of students when including technologies in their studies. The chapters in this book suggest that the use of technologies in teaching not only makes learning more interesting but also offers possibilities for variations in the learning processes. While this book does not offer irrevocable opinions and definitive views or insights, it provides a useful lens for viewing the world of students and providing insights into the possibilities for accessing and conducting similar research.

Book Synopsis Communities of Practice by : Jacquie McDonald
Download or read book Communities of Practice written by Jacquie McDonald and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book about communities of practice in the international, higher education sector, the authors articulate the theoretical foundations of communities of practice (CoPs), research into their application in higher education, leadership roles and how CoPs sustain and support professional learning. Research demonstrates that communities of practice build professional and personal links both within and across faculty, student services and administrative and support units. This book describes how community of practice members may be physically co-located and how social media can be used to connect members across geographically diverse locations. It positions higher education communities of practice within the broader community of practice and social learning literature, and articulates the importance of community of practice leadership roles, and the growing focus on the use of social media for community of practice implementation. The multiple perspectives provide higher education leaders, academic and professional staff with the means to establish, or reflect on existing CoPs, by sharing insights and critical reflections on their implementation strategies, practical guidelines and ideas on how community of practice’s theoretical underpinnings can be tailored to the higher education context.

Book Synopsis Students' Attitudes, Perceptions, and Expectations Toward Instructional Technology in Higher Education by : Mamie L. Johnson
Download or read book Students' Attitudes, Perceptions, and Expectations Toward Instructional Technology in Higher Education written by Mamie L. Johnson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of Everett M. Rogers’s (1995) Theory of the Diffusion of Innovations suggests that there is a positive relationship among students’ attitudes, perceptions, and expectations toward instructional technology in relation to the diffusion of innovations. Furthermore, the evidence shows that there is a very high correlation between acceptance of diffusion and students’ attitudes, acceptance of diffusion and students’ perceptions, and acceptance of diffusion and students’ expectations toward instructional technology. The relative advantage of an innovation can be influenced by social prestige, convenience, and satisfaction with an innovation.

Book Synopsis College Students' Perceptions of Computer-mediated Instruction/learning and Its Impact on Their Academic Programs by : Wayne Yu
Download or read book College Students' Perceptions of Computer-mediated Instruction/learning and Its Impact on Their Academic Programs written by Wayne Yu and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education has experienced notable changes driven by accelerated advances in computer technology, the same force that has reshaped our society and many aspects of life. Many believe that promising results can be seen and that students are better served in a computer-mediated instruction/learning environment due to the computer's seemingly infinite abilities to multiply and expand. However, not everyone shares the same optimism due to a number of complicated issues facing the introduction of computers into the academic area. Despite school managers', teachers', and administrators' views of computer-mediated instruction/learning, learners' perceptions are just as important when studying the instructional use of the computer technology. This study provides insight into how participants' demographic profiles contribute to their perceptions of computer-mediated learning, how students perceived the impact of computer-mediated learning on their achievement, and how having had to use computers impacted their attitude toward (future) learning using computer technology. The findings of the study include: (a) a Pearson Product-Moment Correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant, low positive association between students' perceived effectiveness in the area of computer-mediated learning and their major grade point average (MGPA). It also revealed a statistically significant, moderate positive association between having to use computers for class(es) in students' major program areas and their attitude toward learning using computer technology, (b) a T-test revealed a statistically significant difference between male and female students, for the statement: "I think effective Computer-Mediated Learning ensures that students are engaged and motivated in learning (the given subject)." Female students' mean score was higher than that of male students and (c) an ANOVA test found statistical significant differences among groups of students based on their cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and their perceived effectiveness of computer-mediated learning. A Tukey HSD test indicated the CGPA group 3.50 - 4.00 obtained a higher mean score than the other two groups, 2.00 - 2.49 and 2.50 - 2.99.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Research on Student Engagement by : Sandra L. Christenson
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Student Engagement written by Sandra L. Christenson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement. The Handbook guides readers through the field’s rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource. Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include: Engagement across developmental stages. Self-efficacy in the engaged learner. Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation. The engaging nature of teaching for competency development. The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents. Comparing methods for measuring student engagement. An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.
