“…For example, a shortage of faculties with higher academic qualifications and poor research culture are problems encountered with previous studies (Hayward and Ncayiyana, 2014). In response to this, there has been a trend, featuring a shifting away from the accumulation of knowledge to the development of a variety of cognitive and non-cognitive skills (Ehlers, 2007; Martinez-Mediano et al, 2013; Newton and Newton, 2014).…”

Many institutions of higher education systems worldwide are transitioning from face-to-face modality to e-learning as a means of solving issues of limited resources and access to quality education. One of the crucial prerequisites for the successful implementation of e-learning is a careful consideration of emerging technologies and the underlying pedagogy of how learning takes place using a virtual platform. In practice, however, this consideration is often a neglected aspect in developing countries’ context, and this neglect results in several challenges in academic setups. This study identifies and evaluates clusters of e-learning features and implementation strategies in use and challenges sought at the ET Online College located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The features of these strategies are briefly discussed, as well as how these strategies evolved during the implementation processes. The college’s e-learning components have achieved merits for quality by their primary users (online students, e-course instructors, and technology, instructional design, and curriculum experts), web designers and graphic designers, and administrators within the college. These also achieved acceptance nationally by the larger key stakeholders. The findings and recommendations of the study can be used as empirical evidence-base to help policymakers strategically think about the implementation of e-learning in the Ethiopian Higher Education institutions, and other similar contexts at large.

“…Sobre la alfabetización científica, al hablar de competencias clave, "se refiere a la habilidad y disposición para usar la totalidad de los conocimientos y la metodología empleada para explicar el mundo natural" (Martínez Mediano et al, 2013). Los conocimientos que integran estas competencias se relacionan a los principios básicos del mundo natural, de la tecnología y procesos tecnológicos; progreso científico y la relación con otros campos como sociedad, cultura o medio ambiente.…”

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito reflexionar sobre las tendencias pedagógicas para el desarrollo de competencias científicas en el contexto del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales, en aras de propiciar proyectos integradores y clases creativas, como contribución a propuestas innovadoras que posibiliten enfoques pedagógicos con nuevos escenarios y ambientes de aprendizajes renovados y creativos de las ciencias naturales. El ensayo es el resultado de un estudio de revisión bibliográfica, sustentado en la hermenéutica. Entre los hallazgos más significativos se encuentra que para alcanzar las competencias científicas en los educandos es fundamental que el docente propicie escenarios y ambientes de aprendizaje significativo a través de medios pedagógicos para dinamizar los procesos académicos centrados en la integralidad del conocimiento y la producción de sólidos saberes; de esta manera se asegura la calidad del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales.

“…as mediating artefacts between the teacher and student or between peers which provides a unique virtual educational context facilitating interactive processes of co-construction of knowledge" [33] (p. 164). Only to the extent that the use of these virtual tools are in effect combining teaching-support-quality (in face-to-face or distance teaching), will higher educational institutions be pursuing excellence, educational efficacy [34], and consequently student motivation [35], satisfaction, and performance as indicators of the quality of their educational systems [36].…”

Do Virtual Campuses Provide Quality Education? A Study on the Perception of Higher Education

et al. 2022

In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of technologies in all aspects of daily life, especially in educational contexts. Indeed, in most universities, using a virtual campus as a support for teaching is now a general practice, even in face-to-face teaching. However, although there are multiple studies on the quality of education and services provided by virtual campus platforms, as well as statistics on the use of the various tools and forums, very few studies have considered students’ perceptions of the quality perceived by students concerning the pedagogical use that teachers make of virtual campuses. Even fewer studies have examined this as a function of what year the students are in. In order to examine this more thoroughly, an ad hoc questionnaire was applied to 783 students enrolled in the first three years at various universities in Spain, covering all knowledge areas. The results show that first-year students had more positive opinions of the quality of their teachers’ virtual-campus practices than students in subsequent years. More specifically, those first-year students perceived greater encouragement and motivation from the teaching staff and more communication between teachers and students. These findings suggest the need for good teaching practices that consider motivation, communication and collaborative groups, not only during the first year, but also throughout university courses in order to ensure quality education.
