The paper explores the use of electronic media in college level classes in smaller cities of Punjab province. It is argued if electronic media is used in classes by the college teachers in the classes, it can enhance effectiveness and also learning to the part of the students. It may attract students, creating in them more interest in class activities and sharing of knowledge. The use of electronic devices and different applications; YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp and electronic mails, and search engines such as Google Chrome, internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox etc., inculcates enthusiasm among the students and the teacher performance can become livelier fulfilling the objectives of learning in the class. The study has been undertaken by surveying a number of college teachers from various areas of the province of Punjab. Its results manifest that there is an increase of use of electronic media by the teachers in preparation as well as delivery of lectures. They also motivate the students to use these resources for learning skills. The study concludes if regular application of such technologies is made possible as a vibrant variable it would play a vital contribution to institutional competitiveness, improve the learning and teaching experience and meet students’ growing expectations of improved use of ICT (Sweeney, 2009)

Abstract Introduction Conceptions of learning and teaching refer to what faculty think about teaching effectiveness. Approaches to teaching refer to the methods they use to teach. Both conceptions and approaches range from student-centered/learning-focused (active learner engagement) to teaching-centered/content-focused (passive learner engagement). This study explored how faculty teaching experience influenced faculty conceptions and their approaches to teaching. The authors hypothesized that more experienced educators appreciate and apply active learning approaches. Methods The authors used a cross-sectional survey to collect anonymous data from the Basic Science faculty at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTCSOM). The survey included the Conceptions of Learning and Teaching scale (COLT; Jacobs et al. 2012) and demographic information. They assessed instrument reliability with Cronbach’s alpha and examined relationships between variables with correlation and chi-square and group differences with ANOVA. Results Thirty-eight percent (50/130) of faculty responded to the survey. COLT scores for student-centered (4.06 ± 0.41) were significantly higher (p < 0.001) than teacher-centered (3.12 ± 0.6). Teacher-centered scores were lower (p < 0.05) for younger (30–39, 2.65 ± 0.48) than older faculty (50–59, 3.57 ± 0.71) and were negatively correlated with using multiple teaching methods (p = 0.022). However, 83% (39/50) reported using both traditional lectures and active approaches. Discussion Faculty conceptions about teaching showed appreciation for active learning, but a tendency to use traditional teaching methods interspersed with student-centered ones. Teaching experience was not related to faculty conceptions but was related to their teaching approaches. The amount of time dedicated to teaching was related to the appreciation of active learning, and young teachers were more student-oriented.

This research investigated the trends in reading literary fiction by students of Hasanuddin University and their main reasons for reading works of fiction. Reading tendencies were grouped into types, reading of fiction in print and fiction in electronic (cyber) media. The purposes of this study were: 1) to quantify the literary fiction reading media preferred by students; 2) to identify specific reasons for their choice of media; 3) to identify perceived personal benefits obtained from reading literary fiction, and 4) to evaluate readers’ personal choices in terms of contents. The majority of students preferred to read using electronic media (62%), although a substantial majority preferred the classical printed book format (38%). The reasons given for preferring cyber literature (defined as works of fiction presented in an electronic medium) to printed literature were mainly practical, such as ease of access using electronic devices (tablets, computers, smartphones, etc.) as well as capacity and versatility, and that one multi-functional device can hold many books or other reading media. This research indicates that young people view reading fiction not only as entertainment, but also as a valuable and rewarding activity. The trend towards electronic media provides a growing and increasingly used opportunity for casual readers and enthusiasts to access and enjoy a wide cross-section of literary fiction.

The Bologna Process

A summary of the personal investment in teaching fluid mechanics over 40 years in a French university is presented. Learning and Teaching Science and Engineering has never been easy, and in recent years it has become a crucial challenge for curriculum developers and teaching staff to offer attractive courses and optimized assessments. One objective is to ensure that students acquire competitive skills in higher science education that enable them to compete in the employment market, as the mechanical field is a privileged sector in industry. During the last decade, classical learning and teaching methods have been coupled with hands-on practice for future schoolteachers in a specific course on subjects including fluid mechanics. The hands-on/minds-on/hearts-on approach has demonstrated its effectiveness in training primary school teachers, and fluids are certainly a nice source of motivation for pupils in science learning. In mechanical engineering, for undergraduate and graduate students, the development of teaching material and the learning and teaching experience covers up to 40 years, mostly on fluid dynamics and related topics. Two periods are identified, those prior to and after the Bologna Process. Most recently, teaching instruction has focused on the Fluid Mechanics Concept Inventory (FMCI). This inventory has been recently introduced in France, with some modifications, and remedial tools have been developed and are proposed to students to remove misconceptions and misunderstandings of key concepts in fluid mechanics. The FMCI has yet to be tested in French higher education institutions, as are the innovative teaching methods that are emerging in fluid mechanics.

The necessity of using a variational approach when designing an individual trajectory of professional growth for college teachers is substantiated, which involves taking into account the level and characteristics of their professional and personal development. The article presents the results of an empirical study, the purpose of which was to identify the types of individual trajectories of professional growth of college teachers. The study involved 214 teachers with a teaching experience of 3 to 38 years. The study was carried out using two specially selected reliable and valid methods: a diagnostic technique for the level of partial readiness for professional and pedagogical self-development (Fetiskin N.P., Kozlov V.V., Manuylov G.M.) and a methodology for studying professional motivation developed by K. Zamfir and modified A. Rean. The main research methods are comparative (calculation of the χ2 test and Student t-test) and correlation (calculation of the Spearman correlation coefficient) analyzes. As a result of the study, it was proved that the professional and personal development of college teachers is characterized by its diversity and variability, associated primarily with the motives of their professional activity and with the level of formation of their readiness for self-development and self-education. A typology of individual trajectories of the professional growth of college teachers has been developed, which determines its main directions and content and includes adaptive, activating, stimulating and correcting types of individual trajectories. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that it is necessary, possible and advisable to use the variability principle when designing individual trajectories for college teachers' professional growth, which allows us to achieve our goals in practice and thereby contribute to the realization of the idea of continuing pedagogical education of pedagogical workers of modern educational organizations of secondary vocational education.

E-learning in higher education is a technique to improve learning and teaching experience, and as a tool to educate students through digital media, with or without the guidance of their instructors. STMIK BI Balikpapan has been using it since 2015, but its implementation has not been as optimal as expected. The research aims to identify the factors that influence the success of the application of e-learning in STMIK BI Balikpapan by referring to the model adopted from TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) and TOE (technological, organizational and environment). The research respondents were 94 people. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) through the Smart PLS program. The results showed that of the four hypotheses tested, one hypotheses had significant influence (habits) and the other three hypotheses were not significant (connections, motivation and facility).
