“…In one study which utilized blogging as a means to encourage students to write constructively (Nadzrah & Kemboja 2009) it was discovered that students perceived blogging as an interesting and motivating learning environment that help improve their writing ability. Other studies which incorporated the use of blogs in teaching reading and writing skills (Azizinezhad & Hashemi 2011, Bicen et al 2010 have concluded that blogging could potentially develop multi-literacy skills such as communicative, intercultural as well as linguistic skills. Studies have also been conducted to examine the role of blogs writing in language learning in order to maximize students' collaborative writing activities (Du & Wagner 2005, Zaini Amir et al 2011.…”

“…The increasing demand for education (Figure 1), coupled with the growing amount of information available, are the main reasons for the integration of the use of computers, primarily via the internet (Bicen et al, 2010), into education. This novel approach, commonly known as web-based learning, is an eLearning technique that has made the learning process more accessible by stretching spatial and temporal barriers (Khalifa and Lam, 2002).…”

IntroductionThe ability to learn, which can be defined as the acquisition of knowledge through cognitive processes that translate into new understandings, behaviours and skills (Moore et al., 2009), has always been the foundation of any successful society. In today's knowledge-driven society, such valuable understandings, which can be gained through education, are very important resources (Schleicher, 2003). The advances made in computer technology, coupled with the education sector's drive to take advantage of such advances, have given rise to the emerging eLearning paradigm, which is becoming increasingly evident across many academic disciplines, providing further support for the notion that learning processes are no longer only supported by traditional teaching methods. It can be argued that today's third level education (TLE) students are part of a new virtual generation, where blackboards and refill pads have been replaced by interactive white boards and laptops, as more interactive, animated and virtually orientated teaching aids assist the transition from traditional learning to eLearning.The main contribution of this paper is to create a framework to enable the examination of different innovative teaching technologies such as simulation through a web-based portal accessible from anywhere. First, we give an overview of TLE and its challenges from an Irish perspective. Second, we discuss innovations in teaching/ learning processes, with particular emphasis on simulation-based applications, using the complex field of supply chain management as our study field of knowledge. The advantages of utilising web-based technologies are then reviewed before the methodology of our portal framework is introduced and discussed in detail. The paper concludes with a conceptual overview of the portal framework, and outlines its potential future development into to a serious working TLE game. Abstract:The emerging eLearning paradigm is becoming increasingly used in many academic disciplines. The concept acknowledges learning processes that no longer deploy only traditional teaching methods. It can be argued that today's third level education students are part of a new virtual era where the blackboard has been replaced by the interactive whiteboard, so more interactive and virtually orientated teaching aids are required to assist in the transition from traditional learning to eLearning. The key objective of this paper is to propose a simulation-based learning framework that integrates web-based simulation and a web content management hierarchy model. Using the highly complex subject of supply chain management as a field of study, the newly developed eSimulation tool allows users to examine various management strategies in real-life scenarios, encourages group work and offers remote access capabilities for distance learning. Interactive learning is facilitated using a web-based portal, enabling instructors to demonstrate the complexity of decisions in multiple criteria environments and also demonstrate the impact of various ...

“…However, many of the published teaching innovation ideas come from the primary and secondary levels [1][2][3] since it is precisely at these educational levels where the essential training is established to subsequently be able to access university. In this sense, the instruction of the candidate teachers is essential so that they know the different aspects related to the educational profession: evaluation [4], the organization of educational centers [5], and methodologies-e.g., project-based learning (PBL) [6][7][8][9], gamification [10,11], the use of new technologies based on augmented reality or virtual reality [12], and the use of computers and web technologies [13], etc. Regarding the last aspects, it is worth noting that the most important is the methodology used since new technologies do not imply a methodology by themselves [14,15].…”

Simulation of a Real Call for Research Projects as Activity to Acquire Research Skills: Perception Analysis of Teacher Candidates

2020

In this research, a novel methodology based on the simulation of a call for research projects was applied for the training of STEM secondary school teachers, with results raised and analyzed to determine the response of the students to this new methodology. The activity was applied in the same course during two academic years with student groups from very different teaching specialties such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, biology and geology, technology and health processes who were studying the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education, specifically, the 3 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) course of Initiation to Educational Research (IER), this Master’s course being mandatory for working as a secondary professor. The Master’s students are asked to write their own research project proposals for a fictitious call on a topic freely chosen by them, which might have been related to the research line of the final Master’s thesis. In it, they had to propose all the contents studied in the course (such as writing a brief state of the art, establishing a research team, setting objectives, a description of the methodology for educational research, instruments, a plan for the dissemination of the results, the needed resources, etc.). The students’ perceptions of the usefulness and reality of what they had learned for their professional development and for writing their final theses were assessed. The results based on the perceptions of the students demonstrate that the activity had been useful for assimilating concepts related to educational research in the context of secondary education (research skills), which will be useful for improving the critical sense of the students (teacher candidates) and for their professional future in the context of applied research in day-to-day secondary teacher activities. Furthermore, the results show the activity was useful for the development of the final Master’s thesis. The difficult aspects that the activity presented for them were analyzed. The results were statistically compared for the students of the different specialties, deducing, in all cases, a homogeneous good acceptance with slight differences between them.
