Die rasante informationstechnologische Entwicklung, die gestiegene Qualitätsanforderungen (OAQ, 2010) und die Professionalisierung der Hochschulentwicklung (Zellweger & Bachmann, 2010) stellen die Hochschulen vor die Frage, wie der Support für die Lehre sichergestellt und angeboten werden sollte. An der ETH Zürich wurde der auf Lehrtechnologie ausgerichtete Support mit dem Bereich der hochschuldidaktischen Lehrunterstützung zu einer neuen Einheit fusioniert, um Lehrentwicklung und Lehrtechnologie aus einem Guss zu behandeln. Aus dieser Perspektive und vor dem Hintergrund laufender Entwicklungen werden erneut Fragen zur Zukunft der Organisationform gestellt. Diese werden in einem Learning Café diskutiert.

[pt] Este estudo teve por objetivo refletir sobre estratégias para o design de materiais didáticos digitais direcionados à pós-graduação. Inúmeras investigações vêm sendo desenvolvidas sobre planejamento, desenvolvimento, qualidade e avaliação de materiais digitais com fins educacionais. Desses relatos, podemos evidenciar a importância da experimentação para aprimorar conhecimentos, identificar recursos em potencial e desenvolver habilidades para a proposição desses materiais. Sob essa perspectiva, a presente tese abordou o planejamento, a produção e a análise de materiais didáticos digitais para duas disciplinas oferecidas pelo Programa de Pós-graduação em Design da PUC-Rio. A pesquisa foi orientada a práticas que promovessem flexibilidade de produção e de uso dos materiais educacionais, permitindo ao professor maior autonomia sobre a sua atividade didática. As duas experiências analisadas apontam para o fato de que não se pode definir um modelo único para atender iniciativas de ensino voltadas para a pós-graduação. Cada demanda requer um planejamento específico, considerando a arquitetura pedagógica e as estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem. A investigação caracterizou-se como uma pesquisa do tipo exploratória com abordagem qualitativa, justificada pelo objeto de estudo que se encontra em um movimento de construção e experimentação a partir da realização de diversas experiências de criação e uso. A pesquisa buscou proporcionar uma ampliação dos referenciais existentes sobre a elaboração e análise de materiais educacionais, assim como contribuir como incentivo à reflexão sobre novos espaços virtuais para a produção de conhecimento na Pós-graduação em Design. / [en] This research had as objective to reflect on strategies for the design of digital learning materials aimed at post-graduate courses. Several investigations have been undertaken on planning, development, quality and evaluation of digital material for educational purposes. From these reports, we highlight the importance of experimentation to enhance knowledge, identify potential resources and skills for the proposition of these materials. From this perspective, this thesis addressed the design, production and analysis of digital learning materials for two courses offered by the Post-graduate Program in Design at PUC-Rio. The research was oriented towards practices that promote flexibility in production and use of educational materials, allowing greater autonomy to the teachers over their teaching activity. The two examined experiments point to the fact that it is not possible to define a single model for addressing educational initiatives aimed at graduate school. Each demand requires a specific plan, considering the pedagogical architecture and strategies for teaching and learning. The investigation was characterized as a exploratory research with qualitative approach, justified by the object of study that is in a movement of construction and experimentation from carrying out various experiments to create and use. The research sought to provide an expansion of existing references on the preparation and analysis of educational materials, as well as contributing as an incentive to reflect on new virtual spaces for the production of knowledge at the Post-graduate in Design.

Based on these research findings, methods were developed to use of the knowledge produced on behavior in educational contexts. Though they have demonstrated efficacy through a wide range of empirical research, the area s teaching procedures are underutilized. Several causes for such disuse are pointed out, most of them with respect to preconceptions, ignorance or rejection of the area s proposals. The aim of this study is to investigate possible variables involved in the use of teaching methods derived from the Behavior Analysis. For this study five behavior analysts, with experience in the supervision of theses and / or dissertations on education and Behavior Analysis and teaching in graduate programs, were interviewed. Finally, the obstacles mentioned by the literature with those reported by the professionals were compared. Results shows that, for attendees, most of the obstacles for using the approach s teaching methods relates to problems inherent to its technology and Behavior Analysis community itself. Therefore, it is placed into question the arguments pointing out misconceptions, ignorance and disagreements as the major cause for the underutilization of behavior analysis' teaching procedures / Há diversos estudos de analistas do comportamento sobre educação. Baseados nos achados destas pesquisas, foram desenvolvidos métodos para uso do conhecimento produzido sobre o comportamento em contextos educacionais. Apesar de terem eficácia demonstrada através de vasta gama de pesquisas empíricas, os procedimentos de ensino da área são pouco utilizados. Apontam-se diversas causas para tal desuso, a maior parte delas diz respeito a pré-conceitos, ignorância ou não aceitação de propostas área. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar possíveis variáveis envolvidas na utilização de métodos de ensino derivados da Análise do Comportamento. Para tal, foram entrevistados cinco analistas do comportamento com experiência em orientação de teses e/ou dissertações sobre educação e Análise do Comportamento e docência em programas de pós-graduação. Por fim, compararam-se os empecilhos apontados pela literatura com aqueles relatados pelos profissionais. Os resultados mostram que, para os participantes, a maior parte dos obstáculos apontados para utilização dos métodos de ensino da abordagem diz respeito a problemas inerentes às tecnologias e à própria comunidade de analistas do comportamento. Assim, coloca-se em xeque a visão de que concepções errôneas, divergências e ignorância sobre as contribuições da Análise do Comportamento são as principais responsáveis para o desuso dos procedimentos comportamentais para o ensino

Defende que a aprendizagem pode se tornar significativa a partir do uso das TIC, sob a forma de ferramentas cognitivas em ambientes de aprendizagem. Demonstra que as relações interpessoais entre os alunos monitores, alunos e professores são aproximadas quando há diálogo e respeito mutuo. Colabora para a inclusão digital e social, tornando o aprendizado mais prazeroso fazendo com que o jovem seja protagonista de sua própria educação

The use of Virtual Reality (VR) in a variety of professional, military, governmental, and educational fields has continued to expand over the past several decades, and the recent Covid-19 pandemic has brought attention to this field. This study surveys 154 college students over 23 questions that include various demographics that can be used to look for discriminators, multiple-choice VR-related questions, as well as a few free-form questions about use of VR in learning environments. The students’ experience with, interest in, and thoughts on how to best use VR vary considerably. The Covid-19 pandemic is found to have limited impact thus far in terms of VR use, but the interest in using VR in schools since then has generally increased quite a bit. Commitment to invest in VR were it to be expanded and provide continual feedback varies quite a bit as well but is strong. A statistical 2 analysis shows that, at a high confidence level, males generally are more experienced with VR in general, have a greater interest in seeing VR implemented further, and are more committed to radical changes in educational methodology than females are. In addition, it is found that Hispanics/Latinos, Black / African Americans, Pacific Islanders, and those of mixed race are more inclined to provide continual feedback as regards the implementation of VR in the school curriculum than (non-Hispanic) White and Asian people are.

The current study assessed the influence of varying the opportunities for receiving feedback as well as the influence of the moment of repetition of items answered incorrectly on learning under a programmed instruction procedure. Sixteen students, divided into two groups, participated in this study. All participants were given a pretest, training and a posttest. However, the conditions described below were manipulated only during the training session. Group 1 was exposed to the varied opportunities of repetition of those frames answered incorrectly under the following conditions: 1a) Repetition at the end of the series only once; 1b) Repetition at the end of the series up to three times; 1c) Repetition after feedback only once; 1d) Repetition after feedback up to three times. A procedure that varied the type of feedback was adopted for Group 2, in accordance with the following conditions: 2e) Feedback after every answered frame; 2f) No feedback for any of the answered frames; 2g) Feedback for every frame answered correctly; 2h) Feedback after every incorrectly answered frame. Results showed that all participants produced a higher percentage of correct posttest answers compared to pretest answers. The highest average percentages occurred in the Repetition after feedback up to three times condition (67.42% correct answers) and the Repetition after feedback only once condition (66.06% correct answers). As for Group 2, the conditions with the highest average percentages for correct answers were Feedback after every frame (69.5%) and Feedback after every incorrectly answered frame (69.2%). The influence of the implementation of the whole procedure in only one session on participants posttest performance is discussed. Furthermore, it is possible to claim that the moment when repetition of items occurred seemed to have exerted more influence on participants performance than the amount of times they could repeat the item answered incorrectly. It is also warranted a discussion about the need for increasing the number of opportunities for repeating the incorrect items / Apesar de haver um razoável número de estudos sobre Instrução Programada tecnologia de ensino desenvolvida por Skinner -, os resultados encontrados apresentam incongruências, e algumas manipulações específicas na aplicação dessa tecnologia de ensino não foram suficientemente investigadas. O presente trabalho avaliou a influência de variações da oportunidade de apresentação do feedback, e do momento e número de repetições dos itens respondidos incorretamente sobre a aprendizagem, em um procedimento de Instrução Programada. O estudo foi realizado com 16 participantes, estudantes do ensino superior, divididos em dois grupos. Todos os participantes passaram por pré-teste, treino e pós-teste, sendo que as condições apresentadas a seguir foram manipuladas apenas durante o treino. O Grupo 1 foi submetido a variação nas oportunidades de repetição dos quadros respondidos incorretamente, nas seguintes condições: 1a) Repetição ao final da série por uma vez; 1b) Repetição ao final da série até três vezes; 1c) Repetição em seguida ao feedback uma vez; 1d) Repetição em seguida ao feedback até três vezes. O Grupo 2 foi submetido a variação no tipo de feedback, nas condições: 2e) Feedback em todos os quadros respondidos; 2f) Feedback para nenhum dos quadros respondidos; 2g) Feedback em todos os quadros respondidos corretamente; 2h) Feedback em todos os quadros respondidos incorretamente. A ordem em que os diferentes participantes passaram pelas diversas condições variou entre eles. Todos os participantes apresentarem uma maior porcentagem de respostas corretas no pós-teste do que no pré-teste. As maiores porcentagens médias de acertos do Grupo 1 ocorreram nas condições Repetição após o feedback até três vezes (67.42% de acertos) e Repetição após o feedback uma vez (66.06% de acertos), nessa ordem. As condições com as maiores porcentagens médias de acertos para o Grupo 2 foram Feedback em todos os quadros (69.5%), seguida da condição Feedback em todos os quadros respondidos incorretamente (69.2%). Além disso, os resultados apontam que o momento da repetição dos itens pareceu ter mais influência sobre o desempenho dos participantes do que a quantidade de vezes em que estes puderam repetir os itens respondidos incorretamente

The Thesis "Videosequences and their use in teaching physics at the elementary school" provides a basic understanding of the issue of the use of audiovisual technology in an environment at the elementary school, focusing on the integration of video in teaching physics at the second stage. It describes the possibilities of video sources on the Internet and instructions for their preparation and to their own creation. The Thesis is also based on practical experiences that means the inclusion of specific movies in two selected topics in teaching physics.

Teknik är nära sammanflätad med människan och internet med sin kraftfulla infrastruktur påverkar oss dagligen. Trots detta reflekterar vi sällan över det och beskriver systemet vagt och med grova förenklingar. Dagens elever ser delar av sin omvärld och kommunicerar med omgivningen via internet och behöver idag kunna hantera det som ett verktyg i undervisningen. Gymnasiekursen Teknik 1 ska enligt Skolverkets styrdokument lära ut hur internet utvecklats i samspel med samhället både ur ett tekniskt och etiskt perspektiv. Eleverna ska utifrån undervisningen kunna använda internet för informationsinhämtning och till exempel förstå vad som styr uppfattningar om kvinnligt och manligt inom systemet internet. Utbildningsvetenskaplig forskning konstaterar att både lärare och elever har svårigheter i undervisningen av komplicerade tekniska system såsom internet. Många elever visar på svårigheter att förstå de abstrakta delarna kring internet vilka är viktiga att förhålla sig till eftersom dessa påverkar oss omedvetet. De har till exempel svårt att se vilka aktörer och tjänster som finns bakom det gränssnitt som de möter i sin mobil. Tekniklärare uttrycker en osäkerhet och behöver fördjupa sina kunskaper om internet. De har en tendens att undvika det abstrakta till fördel för förenklade beskrivningar. Läromedel behöver hjälpa till att förklara dessa delar och skapa ett professionellt begreppsspråk. I detta examensarbete analyseras läromedel för gymnasiekursen Teknik 1 för att undersöka hur det tekniska systemet internet gestaltas, samt hur väl detta stämmer överens med Skolverkets styrdokument. Med hjälp av Claes Klasanders modell för tekniska system kan läromedlen kategoriseras och graderas för att få en uppfattning om hur kunskaper kring internet lärs ut. I analysen har även tydligt förekommande sätt att undervisa formats till det som valts att kallas följemeningstema. Dessa teman som grundar sig på Claes Klasanders modell (2010) beskrivervad undervisningen fokuserar på, vad målet med undervisningen är samt på vilket sätt man talar om ämnet i undervisningen. Tre olika läromedel jämförs sinsemellan, samt även med kursplanenför Teknik 1. Analysen visar att läromedlen på olika sätt svarar mot de utmaningar som nämns i teknikdidaktisk forskning och krav från Skolverket. Libers läromedel Teknik 1 från 2021 har tyngdpunkten av sin beskrivning av internet i det tema som i analysen benämns som medborgaren, tekniken och miljön (se kap. 6.3.2). Temats idé om att utbilda medvetna medborgare med god kunskap om tekniken och dess roll i samhället, stämmer till stor del med kursplanen för Teknik 1 och tillfredsställer behovet från skolan att förklara de osynliga delarna av det tekniska systemet internet. Libers äldre läromedel Teknik från 2011 och Gleerups Teknik 1 från 2022 är relativt lika och beskriver båda internet genom det tema som här kallas de tekniska systemens historia. Här saknas delar av kraven från kursplanen för Teknik 1, framförallt kring internets samverkan med samhället och naturen och systemets mer abstrakta delar. Istället ligger tyngdpunkten på den konkreta tekniska utvecklingen och vidareutveckling av systemen genom historien. / Technology and mankind are closely intertwined and the internet, with its powerful infrastructure, affects us on a daily basis. Still most of us fail to give a clear description on how it works or does it in a simplified manner. Today students view their world and communicate with their surroundings much through the internet and they need to master it as a tool for their learning. The course Teknik 1, given to Swedish tenth grade students, has a responsibility in educating about the development of the internet and its influence on our society, both from a technological standpoint as well as from an ethical point of view. Students should be taught to gather information in an educated way using the internet and for example learn to understand why there exist ideas on the internet about gender and technology. Technology didactics researchers have shown that teachers as well as students are having difficulties within the education of such complex technological systems as the internet. Students are struggling to understand the more abstract parts of the internet, which is vital, since the influence from such parts is acting subconsciously. Technology teachers feel somewhat uncertain about these complex technology systems and tend to avoid the abstract parts of the system infavor of simpler parts more easily explained. Textbooks need to help explain this complexity, so that the ”invisible” parts, such as flow of information, anonymous actors and power control, become visible. Within this master thesis a textbook analysis is carried out on course literature for Teknik 1. It investigates in which way the internet is portrayed and to what extent it aligns to the curriculum from Skolverket. With help of a theoretical model developed by Dr. Claes Klasander (2010) the textbook material has been categorized and graded to be able to measure how they educate on the subject of the internet. The analysis has also identified various themes within the education on the subject. They are based on Klasander’s companion meaning and called companion meaning theme as they describe what the education is focused on, what its goals are and with what language the subject internet is described. Three textbooks were compared with each other and against the course curriculum given by the Swedish School authority. The analysis shows that the textbooks take on the challenge of describing the internet in various ways. Liber’s textbook Teknik 1 from 2021 draws its portrait of the internet using the theme that has been named the citizen, technology and the environment (see chapter 6.3.2). Its idea is to educate conscious citizens with good knowledge in technology and its part in society corresponds a lot to the course curriculum for Teknik 1 and answers well to the schools need of explaining the invisible parts of the internet. Liber’s older textbook version Teknik from 2011 and Gleerups’ Teknik 1 from 2022 are quite similar as they both use the theme named the history of technology systems to describe and educate on the subject. This theme misses out on parts of the course curriculum, mostly regarding the internet's interaction with our society and the surrounding nature, as well as its more abstract parts. Instead focus is on the technical aspects of the development of the internet today and throughout history.
