“…By this means, we compared students' essays to a reference model by using a computer-linguistic model Brunner (2014) heuristic to track the association of concepts from a text directly to a graph. In general, different types of reference models can be used for comparison, for example, an expert's solution, a primus-inter-pares solution, and a "chained" reference model that is created by combining multiple expert accounts (i.e., chained expert model) or the comparably best parts of multiple learner solutions (i.e., chained primus-inter-pares model) (e.g., Ifenthaler 2012;Ifenthaler and Pirnay-Dummer 2011;Kopainsky et al 2010;Lehmann and Pirnay-Dummer, 2014). In this study, the reference model was created not only combining the domain-specific expert sources presented in Table 3 to 2008) suggest that analyses should incorporate those indices that correspond best with the research question and theoretical foundation.…”

Recent research on expert teachers suggests that an integrated understanding across the core domains of teachers’ knowledge is crucial for their professional competence. However, in initial teacher education pre-service teachers seem to struggle with the integration of knowledge represented in multiple domain-specific sources into a coherent structure (e.g., textbooks that focus either on content knowledge, on content-specific pedagogical knowledge, or on general pedagogical knowledge). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of writing tasks (unspecific vs. argumentative) and prompts (i.e., focus questions) on pre-service teachers’ construction of a mental model that interrelates information from multiple domain-specific documents. Data of ninety-two pre-service teachers, who participated in a laboratory experiment where they read three domain-specific textbook excerpts and wrote essays for global comprehension, were analyzed using automated structural and semantic measures. In line with prior research, results indicated that prompts supported pre-service teachers in integrating domain-specific knowledge from multiple documents in their mental models. However, the automated structural and semantic measures did not support previous findings on the efficacy of argument tasks for knowledge integration. The findings and limitations are discussed, and conclusions are drawn for future research and for integrative learning environments in pre-service teacher education.

“…Low cost and a high degree of user-friendliness One of the benefits of digital media applications, particularly social media networks is their public availability on web browser-enabled devices such as a smartphone or a personal computer at a relatively low cost (White et al, 2011). Applications such as WhatsApp enable users to interactively communicate at nearly zero cost particularly during promotions, thereby affording users ample time to converse without fear of immediate depletion of airtime or data.…”

“…The study noted that, despite being mostly negative, Trump's use of rhetoric in his Twitter handle gave his campaign an edge over other political rivals in the presidential race (Das Sarma, 2016). Therefore, it can be argued that, while digital media platforms may be adaptable to traditional techniques of political campaigns (White, King., & Tsang, 2011), this happens in a digitally savvy media environment populated by planetary citizens.…”

This article explores the impact of digital media on political campaigns towards disintermediated political communication in Africa. It highlights that, due to the proliferation of digital media, political communication processes have drastically shifted away from traditional formats to more adaptable and personalised platforms linked to digital citizenship. It further discusses the characterisation of African political campaigns and its impact on democratisation. Application of the Adaptive structuration and Media richness theories is employed to explicate the role of information technologies in facilitating societal change. The article argues that, disintermediation in political campaigns results from unfettered access to alternative means of information with potential to diminish the power of the “voice”; stimulate new forms of political consciousness; cultivate optimisation of political engagement and yield truism through verification of political information both pre and post elections. It concludes that digital media have radically changed how the electorate participate in African politics, meanwhile cascading its ability to empower citizens to redefine their sense of political space in a disintermediated environment.
