“…According to Martin et al (2011), AR is a new technology that is likely to have an impact on education. This claim is supported by the Horizon Reports from 2004 to 2010 which describe AR as a technology that brings the computer world to the human world (Madden, 2011).…”

Technology in education can influence students to learn actively and can motivate them, leading to an effective process of learning. Previous research has identified the problem that technology will create a passive learning process if the technology used does not promote critical thinking, meaning-making or metacognition. Since its introduction, augmented reality (AR) has been shown to have good potential in making the learning process more active, effective and meaningful. This is because its advanced technology enables users to interact with virtual and real-time applications and brings the natural experiences to the user. In addition, the merging of AR with education has recently attracted research attention because of its ability to allow students to be immersed in realistic experiences. Therefore, this concept paper reviews the research that has been conducted on AR. The review describes the application of AR in a number of fields of learning including Medicine, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Geography, Biology, Astronomy and History. This paper also discusses the advantages of AR compared to traditional technology (such as e-learning and courseware) and traditional teaching methods (chalk and talk and traditional books). The review of the results of the research shows that, overall, AR technologies have a positive potential and advantages that can be adapted in education. The review also indicates the limitations of AR which could be addressed in future research.

“…Also, compared to the effects of ICT adoption in other sectors, the effects on education are less salient (Lim et al 2013). Implementation of ICT in education systems seems often to be based on fashion rather than organized diffusion models, which develop from evidence-based decision-making based on previous experience (Martin et al 2011). Technology, having catalyzed changes in society in general, offers the potential to transform education and teacher education.…”

Teachers’ professional development for ICT integration: Towards a reciprocal relationship between research and practice

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:Teachers in the 21st century are facing new challenges as a result of the expanding possibilities of ICT integration in every aspect of the school milieu. Studies have shown the potential of teacher professional development (TPD) that is tailored to local conditions as well as global components and takes advantage of mutual support among teachers, as well as modeling of effective practices. The goal of the paper is to consider the issue of TPD with reference to the usage of ICT as a lever for educational change in a systemic manner, based on the application of local as well as international research. This paper will synthesize some key issues and challenges for TPD in the ICT-saturated 21st century, illustrated in four cases presented herein, which synthesize elements of practice and theory. Based on the literature and the four case studies, we suggest a conceptual model for identifying and evaluating TPD practices using ICT as a lever for educational change and innovation, accompanied by research aimed to develop TPD models. We include suggestions for more effectively linking research to practice and will lay out possible research directions, as a means of facilitating evidence-based decisions and policies.

“…Malgré les craintes et les vertus qui accompagnent l'omniprésence des technologies, leur maîtrise par les nouvelles générations semble de plus en plus détermi-nante pour assurer la réussite sociale et professionnelle des jeunes (OCDE, 2010). Ainsi, il y a tout lieu de croire que l'usage des technologies pour apprendre représente actuellement une compétence clé pour permettre aux jeunes et aux moins jeunes de mieux réussir en contexte éducatif, pour pouvoir s'adapter à une société en mutation constante et devenir des acteurs sociétaux à part entière (Cheung et Slavin, 2012;Fourgous, 2010;Martin et al, 2011;OCDE, 2010).…”

Notre étude porte sur le contexte des classes où chaque élève possède son ordinateur portable, une des innovations actuelles les plus populaires en éducation. Dans le cadre de cette étude, notre ambition était d’abord de déterminer, selon la perception des élèves et des enseignants, l’apport des TIC dans le développement des compétences à écrire. Cette recherche visait également à identifier les principaux avantages et défis inhérents à l’usage régulier des technologies en salle de classe. Nous avons procédé à une enquête par questionnaire auprès de 2 712 élèves (de la 3e à la 11e année), de même qu’auprès de 389 enseignants. En premier lieu, l’analyse des résultats issus des questionnaires montre le rôle primordial des technologies dans la compétence à écrire des élèves : ces derniers rapportent écrire plus vite, plus et mieux – tant sur le plan du fond que de la forme – et, de surcroît, ils ont plus de plaisir à écrire. De façon globale, les données recueillies lors de la recherche ont permis de présenter dix autres principaux avantages liés à l’usage pédagogique et réfléchi des technologies en classe, avec en tête la motivation des élèves.Our study focuses on classrooms where each student has a portable computer, currently one of the most popular innovations in education. Our aim was first to determine teacher and student perceptions of the role of ICT in the development of writing skills. This study also aimed to identify the main advantages and challenges of using technologies regularly in the classroom. Through a questionnaire, we surveyed 2,712 students (from grades 3 to 11) and 389 teachers. The analysis of the questionnaire results shows the essential role that technologies play in fostering writing skills. Students report writing faster and better – both in terms of form and substance – and as a bonus they have more fun writing. Overall, the data collected during the study revealed 10 other major benefits from the thoughtful pedagogical use of technologies in the classroom, the most popular being student motivation.Nuestro estudio tiene como objeto el contexto de las clases en donde cada alumno posee su computadora portátil, una de las innovaciones contemporáneas más populares en educación.
