Starting from a perspective that views education as a complex and adaptive system, this paper is aimed at providing a first reflection on the concept of linearity, intended as a possible interpretation of the limitations arising from the characteristics and the relationships among the actors, the objects and the events that form part of the teaching-learning process. What results is a deterministic vision of teaching and a real negation of the embodied and situated dimension of teaching. This reflection forms part of a branch of educational research that investigates didactic corporealities - those aspects of teaching that are manifested in bodily form, real and metaphoric representations of the triadic interaction between the teacher, the student and the environment. This is configured as the set of elements that contribute to a complex meaning of the teaching experience, able to contribute to a deconstruction of linear schemes of action that are repetitive in nature and are inadequate to address the emerging needs of 21st Century classrooms. In order to foster and promote the success of all learners, a pluralistic and proteiform perspective is therefore required. This view paves the way to a non-linear form of teaching that is aware of the didactic morphologies that are the characteristics, the spaces, the functions and the potentialities of action during teaching.

<p>Preventive confinement against COVID-19 changed the teaching-learning process of the Phytopathology course at the Faculty of Agronomy of the UCR. Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) were integrated into a program called ‘Phytopathology 2020, at the distance but together’. Each student received at her home a box of materials, including culture media and a paper microscope, that allowed her to set up and carry out different phytopathological techniques. The result obtained exceeded expectations and previous results in 16 years of teaching experience. The integration of the family into the educational project was surprising, fostering values of mutual commitment in education and prevention of COVID-19.</p>

Abstract The aim of the article is to get a closer overview of the non-instructional methods of the teaching-learning process of geography. To achieve this goal, the results of the international project Borderland: Border Landscapes Across Europe (undertaken in 2012 and 2013, within the framework of LLP-Erasmus Programme) was presented. Special attention was paid on the innovative approach to learning methods, namely learning by doing (LBD) that was experienced in a multinational environment during the project’s implementation.

Given the limited number of documents addressing methodological context in higher education with a rigorous approach, this chapter comprises a document drawn up in order to clarify methodological concepts. It emphasizes the importance of the teaching-learning process and the significance of placing the student at the center of all actions. The educator's mission changes from being a mere transmitter of information to being a conductor and organizer of the learning situation. To achieve this, several methods must be combined, requiring a balance between the theoretical and practical classes. Likewise, they can be benefited by carrying out complementary activities. This combination is intended to face the great challenges of higher education in the 21st century, which are driven by changes in the way students learn. The emergence of technologies means that the protagonist in the collective construction of knowledge is the student, responding to their digital and participatory demands.

The future of India will be formed in the lecture hall. Whereas India has made great steps in refining the education system but much still remains to be complete. If you see the current situation then you will find that there is a torrent of advanced technology all over the world but our education system is not helping due to the absence of information and information of teachers, students, and the organization. The students have their own limitations, teachers have their owned and the organization is also confessing the fact that the education system is really in a poor form today. The aim of this paper is to skeleton how information technology can help to make an education system that is based on the ideologies of helping teachers, students, and management to be effective in what they do, improving the superiority and significance of teaching-learning process.

One of the biggest current challenges in education is to positively impact the teaching-learning process with technology. Two common reasons are the teachers’ lack of preparation and the students’ attention span. Several Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) studies are approaching these issues. However, very few of them are considering both teachers and students in a one and only application. Thus, the presented thesis had two objectives: to provide a unique and intuitive HRI tool for education and to evaluate its impact on the users. The resulting architecture was a Robotic - Cognitive Adaptive System for Teaching and Learning (R-CASTLE). R-CASTLE aims to provide customized interactions and personalized learning to the students through machine learning for autonomous vision and dialogue interactions. The methods are configured by the teachers in the windows of the system’s graphical interface. Teachers can also have access to the system’s evaluations in chart mode of the students’ collective and individual performances. In end-to-end experiments, teachers and students claimed to experienced a sensitive potential of the system to support them. R-CASTLE was tested with other interactive devices in different applications and the results showed high performances in their activities design optimization. From the best of our knowledge, it is an innovative proposal implemented with collaborative assistance of institutes from Portugal, Italy and Japan. R-CASTLE is currently being adapted to support teachers in their remote classes during COVID-19 pandemic.

University education is currently the object of numerous changes related to the implementation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). One of them involves placing the student at the core of the teaching-learning process through the use of active methodologies. During the academic year 2018/2019, with this objective in mind, Gamification was introduced in the subject of Microeconomics as an innovative teaching experience. This was carried out through the use of Kahoot. At the end of the course, the experience was evaluated through an online questionnaire combined with the analysis of the academic results. In general, the innovative experience was positive for the students because it increased their motivation and participation in the classroom, and improved the learning process. The experience also positively affected final results of the participating students.

Muitos são os embates acirrados nas academias que se posicionam contra (ou a favor) da educação à distância, sem ao menos um debruçar teórico-metodológico-prático sobre os limites e possibilidades que esta modalidade pode ocasionar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Assim este trabalho tem como objetivo, através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, verificar como a educação a distância está sendo percebida pelos estudiosos na literatura, para isto, autores como Belloni(2001), Demo(2007), Morin(2001), Fróes(1999); Gouvêa (2006), dentre outros, foram lidos e suas ideias apresentadas. Para melhor entendermos essa modalidade, tratamos de sua historicidade, origem, limites e possibilidades, datas e acontecimentos marcantes no mundo e no Brasil, em seguida, algumas colocações sobre a função dos educadores e/ou tutores e orientadores, e como os profissionais dessa modalidade entendem o processo ensino-aprendizagem, para que ao ensinar verdadeiramente aconteça o aprender. Outra questão importante abordada neste artigo é a linguagem das tecnologias de comunicação como um dos fatores que influenciam a performance do educador nesta modalidade de ensino. Conclui-se que o ensino a distância não é algo novo e não deve ser analisado por atitudes maniqueístas, ou seja, como algo totalmente bom ou totalmente ruim. Há necessidade de competência(s) para se desenhar um ensino de qualidade, seja à distância, ou não, para não se oferecer apenas “perfumarias” baratas para serem comercializadas, pois cada vez mais a educação está sendo um direito inalienável e essencial para a sociedade. DISTANCE EDUCATION AND THE EDUCATOR OF THE 21ST CENTURY ABSTRACT Many are the conflicts in the academies that oppose (or favor) distance education, without at least a theoretical-methodological-practical approach to the limits and possibilities that this modality can cause in the teaching-learning process. Thus, this work aims, through a bibliographical research, to verify how distance education is being perceived by scholars in the literature, for this, authors such as Belloni (2001), Demo (2007), Morin (2001), Fróes (1999) ); Gouvêa (2006), among others, were read and their ideas presented. In order to better understand this modality, we deal with its historicity, origin, limits and possibilities, dates and events in the world and in Brazil, then some positions on the role of educators and / or tutors and counselors, and how the professionals of this modality understand the teaching-learning process, so that when teaching truly happens, learning happens. Another important issue addressed in this article is the language of communication technologies as one of the factors that influence the performance of the educator in this modality of teaching. It is concluded that distance learning is not something new and should not be analyzed by Manichean attitudes, that is, as something totally good or totally bad. There is a need for competence (s) to design quality education, whether at a distance or not, so as not to offer only cheap "perfumeries" to be marketed, since education is increasingly an inalienable and essential right for the society.

<p>Las actualizaciones metodológicas y de concepto acontecidas en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje que se lleva a cabo en las universidades desde la entrada en vigor del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), implican cambios en los distintos ámbitos que constituyen el contexto educativo: las instituciones, los alumnos y los docentes.<br />Este marco educativo requiere la adquisición de determinadas competencias, no sólo en los alumnos sino también en los docentes.

We found some very experienced teachers who put into practice some of these skills but we need specialists in the field for the other skills, sometimes outside of education.</p>

The 21st century has witnessed significant changes in the context of language teaching or learning as the world is increasingly globalized and digitalized. Therefore, students in vocational colleges are demanded to learn the skills to be able to survive and succeed in today’s world as both a local and global citizen. The objective of this study was to implement the role-plays’ technique of video recording to improve the student’s speaking ability. In conducting the research, there were two components expected to be improved, namely the teaching-learning process to be conducive and the students’ speaking scores. By applying classroom action research, data were collected in two cycles of learning. The result of the speaking test revealed that the students had made some progress, which was shown by the increase of students’ average speaking scores. The improvement of the scores was also followed by the increase of students learning interest and motivation in a conducive teaching-learning atmosphere.
