This article explores the various ways that teachers and learners can navigate different learning worlds with the support of digital tools. Increasingly, teaching and learning takes place in spaces beyond the classroom, whether physical or virtual. Place, navigation and movement have all been recognised as important concepts in approaches to understanding how we learn in and across places. With our postgraduate cohort of in-service teachers from across New Zealand, we have been exploring forms of learning that engage in the exploration of other spaces, using a range of digital tools. Google Tour Builder has allowed creative global navigation in a virtual space, Google Expeditions has given teachers an opportunity to integrate virtual reality into their classrooms, and Actionbound has exposed them to the use and design of situated outdoor learning activities with geolocated augmented content. Our article is based around participant interactions on social media that express their responses and creativity using mobility in physical spaces and the navigation of virtual spaces. Based on these interactions, we reflect on the nature of pedagogy in technology-redefined activities that involve senses of both place and navigation, structuring our analysis along two continua of physical accessibility and the extent of world knowledge.

A soulful curriculum acknowledges and places an importance to life’s ultimate questions and man’s inner dimension. It pursues a balance and convergence between our inner and outer lives. In Islam, there is no separate discipline of ethics and religion. Islam is founded on the principles of belief and righteous action. In this sense, a meaningful education should not only focus on training the mind to retain and retrieve knowledge per se but to nurture a personality with good characters and behaviours. However, the reality that we are facing today in the education system is the reverse of that.  The exclusion of ethical and spiritual dimensions in pedagogical approaches is not only observed in present practices but also in existing references, concepts, and theories in the field of education, philosophy, and psychological literature. Modern theories are inadequate to act as a drive for the transformation of an individual’s personality. Therefore, this paper aimed to explore the pedagogical approaches reflected from a prominent Muslim philosopher and spiritual master, Mawlana Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-1273 A.D) towards fostering a balanced and excellent personality through education. The main contributions of Al-Rumi that are of great importance for today’s educators are: God-consciousness as the foundation of learning; the need to instill love and compassion through service learning; making learning enjoyable; and emphasis on experiential outdoor learning. Practical pedagogical implications of these were discussed in the light of educational psychology perspectives for educators to integrate these approaches in their teaching and learning activities in the classroom.

Technology is now becoming an unavoidable part of Indonesian students’ life. The application of digital tools have facilitated the students to expand their knowledge and develop their learning. At the same time, it helps to plant learning autonomy toward the students. This paper aimed to explore the teachers’ experiences in applying the digital assessment by using in- depth interview and classroom observation. The teachers can gain a lot of advantages by applying the digital assessment in their teaching and learning activities. It saves a lot of teachers’ time, it breaks the barriers between teachers and students in terms of meeting time and at the same time it also helps to reduce students’ anxiety during the assessment. However, during the application of the digital assessment there were several difficulties faced by the teachers, namely the internet connection, the misconception among the students because the students did not comprehend well regarding the teachers’ feedback as well as there may be a possibility for the students to cheat during the assessment since they can do it anywhere not only in the campus. The teachers’ mastery in technology indirectly can also help the development of Indonesia’s education system. Teknologi kini menjadi bagian tak terpisahkan dari kehidupan siswa Indonesia. Penerapan perangkat digital telah memfasilitasi siswa untuk memperluas pengetahuan dan mengembangkan cara belajar mereka. Pada saat yang bersamaan,  perangkat digital juga membantu menanamkan otonomi belajar kepada siswa. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pengalaman para guru dalam menerapkan penilaian secara digital dengan menggunakan wawancara secara intensif dan observasi kelas. Para guru dapat memperoleh banyak keuntungan dengan menerapkan penilaian secara digital dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar mereka. Penilaian dengan cara seperti ini menghemat banyak waktu guru, menjembatani jarak antara guru dan siswa dalam hal waktu pertemuan dan pada saat yang sama juga membantu mengurangi kecemasan siswa selama penilaian. Namun, dalam penerapannya, terdapat beberapa kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh para guru, yaitu koneksi internet, kesalahpahaman di antara siswa karena siswa tidak memahami dengan baik tentang umpan balik guru dan terdapat kemungkinan siswa menyontek selama ujian karena mereka dapat melakukannya di mana saja, tidak hanya di area kampus. Penguasaan guru tentang teknologi secara tidak langsung juga dapat membantu pengembangan sistem pendidikan di Indonesia.

Trata principalmente dos novos espaços virtuais de comunicação em rede, do espaço virtual paralelo ao espaço real. A pesquisa teve por objetivo conhecer através dos alunos o processo de relação cotidiana dos jovens estudantes com os espaços virtuais de comunicação da internet no ambiente escolar. Os dados foram coletados com 15 alunos do 3º ano do Ensino Médio, no município de Altamira, Pará. Como método, utilizou-se da abordagem multirreferencial. A primeira análise de coleta dos dados foi através de entrevista semiestruturada com os alunos. O segundo momento da pesquisa aconteceu por meio da aplicação dos questionários. O terceiro momento da pesquisa aconteceu por meio da rede social whatsapp, no qual formou-se um grupo com dez alunos do 3º ano com objetivo de perceber como eles usam e compartilham mídias relacionadas ao contexto escolar. Concluiu-se que a aprendizagem relacionada ao ciberespaço e que o acesso a ela deu-se mais por condições particulares e interesse próprio dos alunos em inserirem-se nesse universo do que a própria escola. Torna-se necessário que se avance no uso didático-pedagógico dos recursos tecnológicos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, uma vez que faz parte do cotidiano dos jovens alunos do Ensino Médio.Palavras-chave: Ciberespaço; Ensino Médio; Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação.ABSTRACTThis article deals with the process of teaching and learning in cyberspace based on advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) that have been changing the way students learn. It deals mainly with the new virtual spaces of network communication, from virtual space parallel to real space. The research aimed to learn through the students how it has been constituting the relationship of young students with the virtual spaces of internet communication in the school environment. Data were collected with 15 students of the 3rd year of high school in the city of Altamira, PA. As a method, the multireferential approach was used. The first analysis of data collection was through a semistructured interview with 10 students. The second moment of the research happened through the application of the questionnaires with fifteen students of the third year. The third moment of the research happened through whatsapp social network, formed by ten students. It is concluded that learning related to cyberspace and that access to it was more due to particular conditions and self-interest of students in inserting themselves in this universe than the school itself. It is necessary to advance in the didactic-pedagogical use of technological resources in the teaching-learning process since it is part of the daily life of young high school students.Keywords: Cyberspace; High School; Technologies Information and Communication..RESUMENEste artículo aborda el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en el ciberespacio basado en los avances de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) que han estado cambiando las formas de aprendizaje de los jóvenes estudiantes.

<em>Writing poetry is a subject taught at the primary school level. Outdoor learning activities require students directly invited to interact with objects that will be used as material for writing poetry, so that the process of writing poetry learning an object will become more clear and more real. Outdoor learning stimulates the creative power and imagination of the students in order to put their ideas, thoughts, and ideas into poetry. In addition, the teaching and learning process will feel more alive and more fun than by doing the teaching and learning process in the classroom</em>

Strategy is a plan or steps that are carried out systematically, which has a system to facilitate the implementation of an activity in order to achieve the purpose specified. The learning process will be effective when learners participate in it and learners do most of the learning activities. The success of learning is influenced by various factors, one of which is the factor of learning strategy. Selection of learning strategy is very important because learning strategy is a way to deliver lesson materials so that in the process of teaching and learning the teacher is not too dominate the learning activities. The dominant thing is that learners only listen.Learning strategy is a planning that contains about a series of activities designed to achieve learning objectives, so that teachers need to understand well the role and function of the strategy in the implementation of the learning process. Active learning strategy can be used as an alternative learning that can improve the quality of physics learning.Learners use their ability to learn various problems and apply what they have learned. Implementation of appropriate learning strategy is expected to overcome the low learning outcomes of learners by making learners as independent learners and create an atmosphere that makes learners active in learning is a learning strategy FIRE-UP. According to Madden FIRE-UP strategy (Foundation, Intake information, Real meaning, Express your knowledge, Use available resources, Plan of action) can make learners more active because learners are made into independent learners.The stages of the FIRE-UP strategy will encourage learners to prepare for the basic knowledge of learners after studying their own textbooks or lesson materials in order to prepare learners to address the unknown (Foundation), how learners can concentrate on incorporating information acquired (Intake Information), creates the true meaning of the new information it receives through the process of assimilation into its real-world knowledge, reveals what is known and asks unknowns through discussion or re-teaches to its peers (Express your knowledge, Use available resources), as well as planning the activities of learners in presenting their group work (Plan of Action).Based on the results obtained the value of the first cycle, the second cycle and the third cycle in a row (77,94%), (81,76%) dan (85,97%).

Fremtidens undervisningsmiljø belyses i denne artikel med afsæt i spørgsmålet om hvornår og hvordan fysiske som virtuelle rum bliver til attraktive og vidensproduktive læringsrum for studerende. Kernespørgsmålet er således hvilke undervisningsrum, herunder fysiske, virtuelle og konceptuelle rum, der udvikler sig til læringsrum.  Grundantagelsen er, at undervisningsrum er rammer som uddannelsesinstitutioner og andre stiller til rådighed, mens læringsrum opstår og aktiveres i en situeret, social og kulturel praksis. Artiklen bygger på såvel teoretisk funderede overvejelser, som på empiriske studier af læringsrums vækstbetingelser. Med afsæt i en forståelse af rum og videnssudvikling udvikles en forståelsesramme for samspillet mellem undervisnings- og læringsrum, baseret på den grundlæggende antagelse at læringsrum har både en social og individuel videnskomponent. Empirisk undersøges hvorledes nye studerende, undervisere og andre involverede på 2 professionsuddannelser ekspliciterer, at de agerer, når de stilles over for et valg mellem fleksibel decentral tilstedeværelse og fysisk tilstedeværelse centralt på uddannelsesinstitutionen. Den teoretisk funderede forståelsesramme bruges til at analysere og fortolke data og illustrere, hvordan mangeartede faktorer i praksis påvirker realiseringen af læringsmiljøet. Det konkluderes, at oplevelse og brug af uddannelses- og læringsrum præges af de studerendes forforståelser, præferencer, mål og ønsker, hvor uddannelsestilrettelæggelse skal passe ind i de studerendes liv i bredere forstand. I de to cases betyder det, at de studerende anvender, prioriterer og sorterer i de rum uddannelsesstedet stiller til rådighed på en måde, der ikke fremmer ibrugtagningen af de nye kombinationer af fysiske og ikt-baserede rum.Abstract in EnglishFuture education is highlighted in this article, based on the question of when and how physical and virtual space becomes attractive and knowledge productive learning environment for students. The key question is how classrooms, including physical, virtual and conceptual space become to be attractive learning environments. The basic assumption is that classrooms are frames that educational institutions makes available while learning occurs and activated in a situational, social and cultural practice.This article is based on both theoretical process of reflection, as empirical studies of learning spaces conditions. Based on theory of spatial navigation and knowledge development, the aim is to develop a framework for understanding the interaction between teaching and learning based on the fundamental assumption that learning has both a social and individual knowledge component.Empirically we examine how new students, teachers and others involved in two professional bachelor educations articulate, how they act when faced with a choice of flexible decentralized education and physical education at the main educational institution. The theoretically based conceptual framework is used to analyze and interpret data and illustrate how multiple factors in practice affect the learning environment.It is concluded that the experience and use of educational and learning spaces is highly influenced by students’ pre-understandings, preferences, goals and wishes in life in a broader sense. In the two cases students thus use, prioritise and sort the rooms that the educational institution offers in a way that does not advance the succesful implementation of new combinations of physical and virtual spaces.
