Innovation And Entrepreneurship

New information and communication technologies (ICTs) provide educators and learners with novel approaches to enhance teaching and learning processes. Technology enabled learning plays a vital role in contemporary education and blended learning is widely adopted across higher education as a learning mode. In this paper we reflect on the strategies for introducing blended learning in a network of European universities and the first lessons learnt from the experience. A total of 18 universities took part with around 350 students registered in the 2018–2019 academic year. In this report we recount how the lecturers in our network introduced the blended learning in their classes, the different types of lessons resulting from this effort, as well as the teachers’ and students’ perceptions regarding the blended learning activities performed. Our reflection is focused on the use of blended learning and its positive effect on activating students and development of innovation and entrepreneurship soft skills. The perceptions on blended learning are interrelated, with the success of the blending models depending on the blended learning activities, and how well the respective online contents are embedded into the teaching and learning processes.

Information And Communication

Teaching and learning in the 21st Century requires teachers and students to capitalise upon the relative advantage of integrating Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to enhance current curriculum, pedagogy and assessment approaches, as well as transform teaching and learning. While most educational systems agree that ICT has the potential to transform teaching and learning, attention has been given recently to the challenge of how to measure and evaluate the impact ICT is having on teaching and learning. This Chapter argues that the most important focus in measuring ICT use needs to be on student use of ICT, as policies and teacher professional development initiatives by themselves are insufficient to ensure that student learning is either enhanced or transformed through ICT use. Insights are provided into the development of a contemporary instrument, for use by Education Queensland, Australia, which aims to measure teacher perceptions of the quantity and quality of student use (as opposed to teacher use) of ICT in the curriculum. The instrument enables teachers and schools to identify their current and preferred levels of student ICT use, and from this, to generate discussion about the integration and transformational potential of ICT and to develop strategic plans to achieve their preferred level of student use. This Chapter also provides summaries of the implementation of the instrument in two large Queensland education systems, and argues that ICT research, such as this approach, which enables large scale, evidence-based research to measure student outcomes as a result of using ICT in the curriculum should be a matter of priority to effectively monitor and manage learning with ICT.

<span>Despite the research and investment of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in schools, many teachers still use it as a neutral tool; that is, a tool that can be used to carry out the same teaching and learning activities as have been undertaken previously with non-ICT tools. This paper adopts activity theory as a conceptual framework to describe and analyse how the objectives of two economics courses are shaped by their participants and learning environments, and in turn, how these shared objectives affect the way ICT is used in these courses. The paper goes on to suggest that the object of the activity systems poses a major barrier to the creative use of ICT in schools.</span>

The revolution in information and communication technology occurred during the last few years. During the COVID-19 pandemic that hit Indonesia, all sectors experienced obstacles, including the education sector which was hampered from carrying out teaching and learning activities. Along with the times, the process of teaching and learning activities in the classroom now has many challenges and demands. One-way learning makes the learning atmosphere boring, it is feared that it will affect students' motivation to study the material, so it is modified into blended learning. This model combines offline and online learning, is student centered, namely students must be active in understanding the material, efficient in time, energy, and place because it can be done anywhere. The methods used in this training activity are lectures and discussions, guidance and training. As a result of this blended learning In House Training, all participants actively participated in this activity and participants gained new insights about blended learning strategies that could be implemented in the classroom teaching process during the COVID-19 pandemic to become more varied and innovative

The Impact

<p>The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) integration in the teaching and learning practices of educational systems. The study is carried out by reviewing various literatures and studies on the ideas of ICT and its usage in teaching and learning practices. The study reveals that ICT is vital to transform the teaching and learning process and has a great importance for both teachers and students. It also looks at the definitions of ICT as given by different scholars. Lack of well-equipped ICT tools, beliefs and commitments of teachers as well as students on Technology-based Teaching and Learning practices are the main challenges of ICT implementation in education successfully.</p>

Una sociedad en constante cambio tecnológico exige profesionales de la enseñanza en formación continua. Entre las principales competencias docentes que debe adquirir actualmente el profesorado, durante el proceso de formación inicial, podemos destacar el uso educativo de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) y  el trabajo en equipo. A través de esta experiencia de innovación centrada en el desarrollo de una dinámica de trabajo fundamentada en el aprendizaje cooperativo y la utilización del programa Courselab, se exige al alumnado ciertas destrezas específicas en el dominio, tanto del PC en su conjunto, como de la navegación a través de Internet y de la capacidad de trabajo y de resolución en equipo. En definitiva, se pretende completar la formación de los futuros  docentes en entornos TIC, para que puedan desempeñar procesos de enseñanza/aprendizaje que respondan, verdaderamente, a los intereses y motivaciones del alumnado y puedan contribuir a la mejora del éxito escolar. Los resultados de este estudio indican que estos profesores en formación, demandan el uso de herramientas similares que les motiven y se adecuen a los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje, concluyendo con una valoración positiva tanto de la experiencia como del propio desarrollo de la asignatura.       A technological society in permanent evolution requires teaching professionals with continuous training. Among the main teaching skills that teachers must currently acquire  during process of initial training, we emphasize the educational use of Information and Communication Technologies  (in Spanish its acronym is TIC) and teamwork. Through this innovation experience focused on developing a workflow based on cooperative learning using CourseLab application, specific student skills are required in PC use,  navigation through Internet and ability for teamwork and problem resolution. Definitely, we pretend to complete training of future teachers in ICT environments, so they could perform teaching / learning processes  in order to match students interests and motivations, and may contribute to improvement of school success. Results of this study indicate that training teachers demand the use of similar tools to motivate themselves and adapt to teaching and learning processes.

Scientific knowledge is a social construction gained over time; however it is possible that students do not have that understanding. According to Carvalho (2001) is possible that scientific concepts in many cases are not articulated to the daily lives of students and issues of social context. Based on an action research this work tries to detach the importance of making proposals of activities that bring together the scientific concepts with daily life is-sues of students. For this purpose we used the information and communication technologies, focused on the production of comics supported by computers. The problem presented to students was about the processes of soil sealing and the consequences for cities such as floods and droughts. The result allowed students to reflect in pairs and with teachers about these prob-lems for their lives. Students were encouraged by the use of computers in a social context to articulated scientific concepts to communicate science. While the comics produced by students supported teachers to understand the process of student learning allowing the mediation’s inferences in Natural Science Education. Key words: comics, cultural tool, environmental issues, ICT.
