O processo de ensino-aprendizagem na contemporaneidade deve ser motivo de inquietude pelo avanço da tecnologia e pelo perfil dos nativos digitais. O uso de Tecnologias Educacionais Digitais (TED) deve ser inserido no ensino de Ressuscitação Cardiopulmonar (RCP). A American Heart Association (AHA) incentiva o ensino da RCP em diferentes modalidades. Objetivo: Desenvolver TED - videoaula, vídeo de simulação, e instrumentos de avaliação - teórico e prático, sobre RCP no adulto em Suporte Básico de Vida (SBV), com o uso do Desfibrilador Externo Automático (DEA), no ambiente hospitalar. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada e de produção tecnológica desenvolvida na Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (EERP/USP). A população foi composta por 16 experts em Urgência e Emergência (UE). Para a avaliação e validação, por meio de instrumentos adaptados, do roteiro/script e storyboard de uma videoaula, roteiro/script e storyboard de um vídeo de simulação, questionário e Exame Clínico Objetivo e Estruturado (OSCE), sobre RCP no adulto em SBV com o uso do DEA em ambiente hospitalar. Para seleção dos expertises foi adotado pontuação mínima de cinco pontos nos critérios de Fehring (1987). Na trajetória metodológica para elaboração dos vídeos foi adotado o modelo proposto por Fleming, Reynolds e Wallace (2009) que consiste em Fase I: Pré-produção, Fase II: Produção e Fase III: Pós-produção. Para elaboração do questionário foi aplicado as regras básicas para elaboração de Questão de Múltipla Escolha (QME) do manual do Conselho Nacional de Examinadores Médicos. O OSCE foi elaborado de acordo com as orientações do Medical Concil of Canadá. As diretrizes da AHA publicadas em 2015 foram a primeira literatura adotada. A pesquisa foi aprovada no Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa (CEP), conforme Resolução 466/2012. Para a apreciação dos dados foi aplicado estatística descritiva e análise de concordância inter-avaliadores por AC1 de Gwet. Categorização da concordância de acordo com Landis e Koch (1997). Os vídeos foram validados em relação ao objetivo, conteúdo, relevância, ambiente, linguagem verbal e inclusão de tópicos. O questionário e OSCE foram validados em relação à organização, objetividade e clareza. Resultados: Os experts são compostos por enfermeiros (100%), predominância do sexo feminino, idade média de 36,56 anos, média de tempo de formação de 12,93 anos, 93,75% com titulação em mestrado, 93,75% com prática clínica em UE no adulto, distribuídos nas regiões Sudeste, Centro-Oeste e Nordeste do Brasil, 62,5% classificados nos critérios de Fehring (1987), com dez ou mais pontos. Todos os itens dos instrumentos de validação registraram predomínio em respostas positivas. Em relação à concordância inter-avaliadores a videoaula foi classificada em \"concordância moderada\", vídeo de simulação em \"concordância considerável\", questionário e OSCE em \"concordância quase perfeita\". A videoaula foi finalizada em 17 minutos e 17 segundos, o vídeo de simulação com 13 minutos e 22 segundos, o questionário com 20 QME e OSCE com 40 itens. Conclusão: O uso de vídeos e a adoção de instrumentos de avaliação adequados no processo de ensinoaprendizagem é um desafio. Por meio da utilização dos objetos validados neste estudo é possível conduzir estratégias de ensino, pesquisa e extensão em contexto contemporâneo e atualizado / The teaching-learning process in the contemporary world must be cause for concern for the advancement of technology and the profile of digital natives. The use of Digital Educational Technologies (DET) should be inserted in the teaching of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). The American Heart Association (AHA) encourages the teaching of CPR in different modalities. Objective: To develop DET - videotape, simulation video, and evaluation instruments - theoretical and practical, on adult CPR in Basic Life Support (BLS), using the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) in the hospital setting. Methodology: This is an applied research and technological production developed at the Ribeirão Preto Nursing School of the University of São Paulo (EERP / USP). The population was composed of 16 experts in Urgency and Emergency (UE). For the evaluation and validation, through adapted instruments, of the script/screenplay and storyboard of a videotape, script/screenplay and storyboard of a simulation video, questionnaire and Objective and Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) on adult CPR in BLS with the use of AED in a hospital environment. For selection of the expertises, a minimum score of five points was adopted according to Fehring (1987) criteria. The model proposed by Fleming, Reynolds and Wallace (2009), which consists of Phase I: Pre-production, Phase II: Production and Phase III: Post-production, was adopted. For the preparation of the questionnaire the basic rules for the elaboration of the Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) of the manual of the National Council of Medical Examiners were applied. The OSCE has been developed in accordance with the guidelines of the Medical Council of Canada. The AHA guidelines published in 2015 were the first adopted literature. The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (REC), according to Resolution 466/2012. For the evaluation of the data, descriptive statistics and interrater concordance analysis by Gwet\'s AC1 were applied. Categorization of agreement according to Landis and Koch (1997). The videos were validated in relation to the objective, content, relevance, environment, verbal language and inclusion of topics. The questionnaire and OSCE were validated in relation to organization, objectivity and clarity. Results: The experts are composed by nurses (100%), female predominance, mean age of 36.56 years, average training time of 12.93 years, 93.75% with a master\'s degree, 93.75% with clinical practice in the UE in adults, distributed in the Southeast, Midwest and Northeast regions of Brazil, 62.5% classified as Fehring (1987), with ten or more points. All the items of the validation instruments registered a predominance in positive responses. Regarding inter-rater agreement, the videotape was classified as \"moderate agreement\", simulation video in \"considerable agreement\", questionnaire and OSCE in \"nearperfect agreement\". The videotape was finalized in 17 minutes and 17 seconds, the simulation video with 13 minutes and 22 seconds, the questionnaire with 20 MCQ and OSCE with 40 items. Conclusion: The use of videos and the adoption of appropriate assessment tools in the teaching-learning process is a challenge. Through the use of validated objects in this study it is possible to conduct teaching, research and extension strategies in a contemporary and updated context

Many teachers report that they rarely engage in reflection. Asynchronous forums have been used to foster reflection among prospective teachers, but there is limited research about the allocation of time for reflection in an asynchronous forum for practicing teachers. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to (a) determine teachers' perceptions about the benefits and drawbacks of the use of an online forum to allocate time for reflection and (b) to classify the levels of the teachers' reflections in the forum. A conceptual framework based on select writings by Dewey, Hatton and Smith, and van Manen was used to guide this study. The research questions addressed teachers' perceptions of the benefits, drawbacks, and use of a forum to allocate time to reflect as well as the levels of reflection achieved by the teachers in the forum. Ten online discussions and 2 sets of questionnaires were analyzed and coded using constant comparative data analysis. Seven elementary mathematics teachers completed the study and 52% and 56% of the discussion postings were coded as critical reflections using Hatton and Smith's framework and a summary of van Manen's framework, respectively. The themes pertaining to the benefits of reflecting online were convenience, sharing, and learning. Peer-to-peer interactions, however, were infrequent, and the teachers indicated that time was a factor that limited participation. This study may effect positive social change by advancing knowledge about using online forums to provide teachers with time earmarked for reflection focused on improving mathematics teaching and learning. Furthermore, educators can use information from this study to design online professional development experiences that include opportunities for reflection and reflective practice.

Depuis la dernière décennie, les outils technologiques et informatiques ont connu un essor considérable dans plusieurs sphères d’activité de la société. L’éducation n’y a pas échappé, et le ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS) en a d’ailleurs fait une compétence transversale dans le cadre du Programme de formation de l’école québécoise. L’intégration des TIC s’est faite à travers différents moyens, à commencer par les laboratoires informatiques, les ordinateurs à même la salle de classe et, plus récemment, par l’introduction de projets portables où chaque élève et l’enseignant disposent de leur propre ordinateur. Afin d’être mené à terme, ce projet de recherche a été inscrit dans un projet à plus grande échelle, soit celui d’une recherche financée par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH), qui a pour objectif d'analyser les obstacles auxquels font face les enseignants dans l'intégration des technologies à l'école. Le présent projet s'est quant à lui attardé plus spécifiquement aux défis technologiques et pédagogiques inhérents aux projets portables. L’étude s'est déroulée en milieu défavorisé, dans une école primaire montréalaise. Une telle intégration demande une planification rigoureuse et un suivi continu afin d’assurer le succès du projet. De plus, il est évident que ce type de projet pose aussi des défis technologiques et pédagogiques particuliers pour les enseignants. À ce sujet, trois catégories de facteurs qui peuvent avoir un impact sur la réussite des projets portables ont été relevées, soit : les facteurs personnels (internes à l’enseignant), les facteurs relatifs au travail (contexte d'enseignement, pratiques pédagogiques, etc.), ainsi que les facteurs relatifs au matériel et à l’infrastructure. À l’intérieur de ce mémoire, différents concepts, dimensions et indicateurs sont donc explicités et mis en relation afin de mieux comprendre les défis technologiques et pédagogiques qui peuvent survenir dans le cadre de la mise en oeuvre de projets portables. Trois enseignantes rattachées à autant de groupes d’élèves ont accepté de participer à une entrevue individuelle et de répondre à un questionnaire. Les échanges par courriel ont aussi été analysés. L'ensemble des données recueillies ont fait l'objet d'analyses qualitatives. Les analyses ont montré que la catégorie de facteurs citée la plus fréquemment était celle des facteurs relatifs au travail avec une forte majorité. Des défis ont toutefois été identifiés pour toutes les dimensions. / During the past decade, the presence of ICT and technology in general has increased significantly in many areas of society. Education was no exception, and MELS has even created a transversal competency for that matter under the Programme de formation de l'école québécoise. ICT integration was made through various means, including computer labs, computers in the classroom and, more recently, by the introduction of ubiquitous computing projects, in which each student and the teacher have their own computer. In order to complete this research project successfully, it has been included within a broader project subsidized by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. This project is taking place in a disadvantaged community elementary school of Montreal. Ubiquitous computing asks for rigourous planning and ongoing follow-up by teachers, administrative and IT staff. Moreover, such a project obviously presents some technical and pedagogical challenges for teachers. Regarding this matter, three major categories of factors that can impact success of ubiquitous computing projects in education were identified. Those categories can be described as follows : factors that are internal to the teacher (personal matter), factors that are related to work, as well as factors related to infrastructure and equipment. Several concepts, dimensions and indicators are explained in this paper and correlated in order to better understand the challenges that can arise in such projects. Regarding the methodoly used in this research, three teachers accepted to participate in individual interviews, and also answered an online questionnaire. Furthermore, the e-mails exchanged between the research group and the teachers were also analyzed. All data coming from those three sources was subject to a qualitative analysis. The data analysis showed that the dominating category of factors was the one with factors related to work, by a vast majority. Challenges, however, were identified for all dimensions and categories.

Dans un monde de plus en plus interconnecté où le développement nécessite une participation active à la société de l’information, où les différentes cultures rentrent davantage en contact entre elles et où les biens culturels sont devenus des biens de consommation, les minorités culturelles mondiales intégrant les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) se retrouvent marginalisées face à la menace d’hégémonie culturelle des réseaux de l’information par les cultures dominantes de certains pays développés. Pour qu’une culture prenne sa place dans la société de l’information, il revient en premier lieu à ses institutions éducatives de former leurs apprenants dans un contexte culturel qui leur est propre et de valoriser et d’encourager la production et l’utilisation de contenu endogène. C’est dans le cadre de cette problématique que la présente recherche s’est donnée comme premier objectif de faire le bilan du contenu culturel accédé et diffusé par les TIC dans des écoles de pays africains dits en développement ; pour ensuite, comme deuxième objectif, de décrire les barrières à une intégration des TIC qui favoriserait la promotion culturelle en ligne dans ces écoles ; et finalement, comme troisième objectif, d’identifier des stratégies pragmatiques favorisant une intégration écologique des TIC dans ces écoles, c’est-à-dire, une intégration durable, adaptée au contexte local et favorisant la pleine participation des enseignants et des élèves. Pour y parvenir, nous avons adopté une approche méthodologique essentiellement descriptive et qualitative. Nous avons réalisé des entrevues avec 168 enseignants et 230 élèves de 34 écoles pionnières TIC situées dans cinq pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre, que nous avons traitées selon une analyse de contenu spécifique à chaque objectif. L’adoption des stratégies décrites dans nos résultats permettrait aux écoles étudiées de surmonter, en partie, la multitude de barrières auxquelles elles font face et de favoriser l’intégration écologique des TIC. Une telle intégration est nécessaire à l’atteinte d’une société de l’information plus équitable et à l’éventuelle réduction du fossé numérique séparant les « info-riches » des « info-pauvres ». / In an increasingly interconnected world, developing countries need to be active participants in the information society. Contact between different cultures is on the rise; cultural resources have become consumer resources; and cultural minorities across the globe who have integrated information and communications technology (ICT) into their societies risk domination by the cultures of developed countries on the global communication networks. In order for a culture to stand its ground online, it is essential that its educational institutions train learners in their own cultural context, and promote and encourage the development and use of endogenous educational content. It is from this perspective that this qualitative study seeks, as a first objective, to assess the cultural content being accessed and distributed via ICT in schools of developing African countries; as a second objective, to describe existing barriers to an integration of ICT that would encourage online cultural promotion in these schools; and finally as a third and final objective, to identify practical strategies for an ecological ICT integration in these schools. Such an integration would be sustainable, adapted to local contexts, and foster the full participation of its teachers and students. To achieve these objectives, we have used a multi-case study based on interviews with 168 teachers and 230 students from 34 pioneer ICT schools located in five West and Central African countries; which content was analyzed according to each specific objective. Adopting the strategies described in our results would allow these schools to overcome some of the barriers they are facing, and to favour the ecological integration of ICT necessary for developing a more equitable information society, thus reducing the digital divide between the ‘information haves and have-nots’.

abstract: ABSTRACT The integration of technology into content area teaching while taking into account state standards is a continuing challenge for secondary teachers. To address this challenge, six high school teachers participated in one-on-one tutoring sessions conducted by the researcher. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), which posits that teachers add technology into their practice by blending it with content and pedagogy, served as the theoretical framework and guided implementation of the project. During the one-on-one tutoring sessions, which occurred weekly in hour-long sessions for a five- to eight-week period, teachers selected the focus of the training sessions. To assess teacher perceptions of efficacy quantitative data were gathered prior to and following the intervention using an on-line survey tool. Although pre- to post-intervention scores on the survey increased, the difference was not significant. With respect to the qualitative data four themes emerged. First, there were specific processes and patterns that emerged within the sessions related to the TPACK framework. Teachers selected either technology or content to initiate sessions. Teachers did not begin sessions with high yield pedagogical strategies as a focus. Second, one-on-one tutoring fostered an initial sense of community, and as the project progressed, a community of practice emerged. Third, challenges emerged related to technology and high yield pedagogical strategies. At times technology did not work or teachers expressed there was too much to grasp and apply to their practice. Additionally, the appropriate applications of high yield instructional strategies also presented challenges to participants. Fourth, based on their participation in the project, teachers expressed an increased sense of efficacy with respect to conducting their work. The discussion was focused on how teachers created a community of practice to support their professional growth, which influenced efficacy for teaching as they became increasingly effective in blending technology, pedagogy and content. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ed.D.

abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of visual cues and different types of self-explanation prompts on learning, cognitive load and intrinsic motivation, as well as the potential interaction between the two factors in a multimedia environment that was designed to deliver a computer-based lesson about the human cardiovascular system. A total of 126 college students were randomly assigned in equal numbers (N = 21) to one of the six experimental conditions in a 2 X 3 factorial design with visual cueing (visual cues vs. no cues) and type of self-explanation prompts (prediction prompts vs. reflection prompts vs. no prompts) as the between-subjects factors. They completed a pretest, subjective cognitive load questions, intrinsic motivation questions, and a posttest during the course of the experience. A subsample (49 out of 126) of the participants' eye movements were tracked by an eye tracker. The results revealed that (a) participants presented with visually cued animations had significantly higher learning outcome scores than their peers who viewed uncued animations; and (b) cognitive load and intrinsic motivation had different impacts on learning in multimedia due to the moderation effect of visual cueing. There were no other significant findings in terms of learning outcomes, cognitive load, intrinsic motivation, and eye movements. Limitations, implications and future directions are discussed within the framework of cognitive load theory, cognitive theory of multimedia learning and cognitive-affective theory of learning with media. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Educational Technology 2011

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Este estudo analisa as implicações do processo de Ifetização no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (IFPE), Campus Recife e avalia as repercussões na ótica de seus gestores, docentes e técnico-administrativos. Adota-se uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa e exploratória sob a forma de análise documental e entrevista semiestruturada. Da análise documental os resultados afirmam que: a Ifetização institucionalizou-se por força política, através de uma nova lei que repercute nas ações pedagógicas e na gestão da Instituição; a gestão não se instrumentalizou de documentos institucionais para a mudança. Das entrevistas semiestruturadas os resultados apontaram que: a Ifetização proporcionou ao IFPE um novo status, uma nova identidade e mudanças educativas. Conclui-se que na visão dos entrevistados a Ifetização teve importância para a sociedade, fato que se reflete no histórico evolutivo da Educação Profissional Tecnológica (EPT), no Brasil e no Estado de Pernambuco, em especial no IFPE Campus Recife.

Doctor of Philosophy / Curriculum and Instruction Programs / N. Sanjay Rebello / Regardless of discipline, a decades-long battle has ensued within nearly every classroom in higher education: instructors getting students to come to class prepared to learn. In response to this clash between teacher expectations and frequent student neglect, a group of four physics education researchers developed a reformed instructional strategy called Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT). This dissertation investigates the following three areas: 1) the fidelity with which undergraduate physics instructors implement JiTT, 2) whether student performance predicts student perception of their instructor’s fidelity of JiTT implementation, and 3) whether student perception of their instructor’s fidelity of JiTT implementation correlates with student views of their physics course. A blend of quantitative data (e.g., students grades, inventory scores, and questionnaire responses) are integrated with qualitative data (e.g., individual faculty interviews, student focus group discussions, and classroom observations). This study revealed no statistically significant relationship between instructors who spent time on a predefined JiTT critical component and their designation as a JiTT user or non-user. While JiTT users implemented the pedagogy in accordance with the creators’ intended ideal vision, many also had trouble reconciling personal concerns about their role as a JiTT adopter and the anticipated demand of the innovation. I recommend that this population of faculty members can serve as a JiTT model for other courses, disciplines, and/or institutions. Student performance was not a predictor of student perception instructor fidelity of JiTT implementation. Additionally, the majority of students in this study reported they read their textbook prior to class and that JiTT assignments helped them prepare for in-class learning. I found evidence that exposure to the JiTT strategy may correlate with a more favorable student view of their physics course. Finally, according to students, favorable JiTT implementation occurred when instructors reviewed all questions contained within the JiTT assignment during class and when instructors clearly connected JiTT questions to the textbook reading, lesson discussion, and other assignments. The impact of this work rests in its possibility to set the stage for future education studies on the fidelity of implementation of other research-based instructional strategies in various disciplines and how they affect student performance and perceptions.

Doctor of Philosophy / Curriculum and Instruction / Jacqueline D. Spears / This study explored the impact of requiring a video term-paper project and media literacy instruction to address the desired educational goals of increasing student ownership of learning, learning course-related concepts, providing evidence of communication skills, and increasing knowledge of key media literacy concepts. Study participants came from convenience samples drawn from a technology course taught by the researcher and from a writing course taught by a colleague. The sixty participants were male (41) and female (19) college students in different years of their courses of study. Participants comprised traditional-age (18-24) and non-traditional-age (25+) students possessing varying levels of familiarity with the skills examined. A quasi-experimental, two-group control/intervention design was used, augmented by additional data collected from the intervention group. The quasi-experiment consisted of pre-and post-test measurements of media literacy, with both groups receiving media literacy instruction an intervention in the form of a video term-paper research project completed by the intervention group. Additional data were gathered from student surveys and interviews conducted with the intervention group. The quasi-experiment did not provide evidence that either the media literacy instruction or the video term-paper project increased knowledge of media-literacy concepts. However, the data collected indicated that the video project was a relevant challenge that engaged students in active participation in their learning. Despite the inherent difficulties in the use of writing and communications skills in technology classes, science and technology educators should investigate the benefits of using media projects in their courses.

Doctor of Philosophy / Curriculum and Instruction / David S. Allen / This study addresses how the flipped method of classroom instruction differs from traditional classroom instruction when comparing student achievement measures in middle and high school mathematics classrooms. The flipped classroom is defined by the Flipped Learning Network (2014) as an instructional method that moves direct instruction outside of the classroom in order to make room in the classroom for a more interactive learning environment where students can actively engage in the content. The flipped classroom strategy theoretically allows teachers the time to develop mathematical ideas and the ability to facilitate that development. For the Common Core State Standards initiative to be effective, teachers need to engage students in new learning experiences that support college and career readiness. By implementing a technology based instructional approach, like the flipped classroom strategy, teachers are able to blend twenty-first century skills with the development of the essential habits of mind of mathematically proficient students (Brunsell & Horejsi, 2013). This study seeks to understand how the flipped method of classroom instruction can lead to improved student achievement in mathematics courses and improve student perceptions about math in order to encourage course consumption in the future (Zollman, 2011). A modified explanatory sequential mixed methods design was used, and it involved collecting quantitative data and then explaining the quantitative results with in-depth qualitative data. In the quantitative phases of the study, NWEA Mathematics MAP Assessment data were collected from middle school students and course common final assessment scores were collected from middle school and high school students in a large Midwestern suburban school district to determine how student math achievement was impacted for students in a flipped classroom as compared to a traditionally instructed classroom. The frequency of active learning incidents was also collected during classroom observations. The qualitative phase was conducted as a follow up to the quantitative results to help explain the quantitative results. In this exploratory follow-up, student and teacher perceptions of mathematics achievement as a result of the flipped classroom approach to instruction with middle and high school math students and how those perceptions might be different than those of students and teachers in traditionally taught classrooms along with descriptions of observable active learning incidents in the school district were explored.
