Yes / The present study aimed to assess the impact of personality traits on student satisfaction with blended learning which many higher education institutions have adopted since the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. Personality traits were assessed using the International Personality Item Pool and student satisfaction was recorded on a 7-point Likert scale. Data analysis of 72 undergraduate students revealed that low extraversion and high neuroticism predicted higher levels of student satisfaction. Implications are discussed considering the current pandemic with a view of increasing student satisfaction and in-turn improving National Student Survey results that impact on Teaching Excellence Framework scores and league tables.

This dissertation has been written in a three-article journal-ready format and centers on competencies for blended teaching in higher education. I use the PRISMA process and thematic coding to analyze 34 articles from 2002 to 2022, highlighting strategic combination, learner-centered approaches, and additional support. I also use the Google Search API and content analysis to suggest that blended, digital, and flexible may be post-secondary institutions' most frequently used terminology to describe contexts incorporating online and in-person components. I also gather qualitative data from interviews with faculty to highlight the context and nuances surrounding blended teaching competencies, including creative innovation, technology skills, flexibility, strategic planning, and engagement creation. This work aims to clarify the trending terms, contexts, and nuances of teaching competencies for blended courses in higher education. It may help researchers and practitioners understand these concepts as evolving from specialized blended teaching competencies to potentially becoming more mainstream teaching competencies.

Im Zeitraum 2007-2008 wurde die vorliegende Fragebogenstudie mit dem Ziel durchgeführt, die Lehrmethoden Vorlesung, Seminar, E-Learning und Blended Learning zu vergleichen und die Akzeptanz der verschiedenen Konzepte durch die Studierende der Zahnmedizin gegenüber zu stellen. Als Lerninhalt diente die kieferorthopädische Profil- und EnFace Analyse. Entsprechende Patientenfälle wurden mit Arbeitsbögen in den Gruppen Vorlesung und Seminar durchgeführt. Eine für diese Arbeit entwickelte Software diente der Fallauswertung in den Gruppen E-Learning und Blended Learning. Ein am Ende der jeweiligen Lehrveranstaltung ausgegebener Fragebogen sollte die Erfahrung der Teilnehmer zur jeweils erlebten Lehrmethode erfassen. Der deskriptive Vergleich der einzelnen Fragebogenitems lässt eine deutliche positivere Einschätzung der Studenten zu Gunsten der Blended Learning Methode erkennen. Die Auswertung der jeweils richtigen Antworten der Profildiagnostik zeigte dagegen kaum Unterschiede in den einzelnen Gruppen.

This paper presents an advanced – international – blended learning arrangement. It has been developed, implemented and reviewed regularly in the last 4 years at the authors’ institution. Instead of referring solely to traditional classroom teaching, we use and continually refine this arrangement in our every-day formal teaching and learning processes at Technische Universitaet Dresden. By this we take into regard the changes induced by the Bologna Roadmap and try better to support its “new” didactical objectives: more interactive and interdisciplinary modules with focus upon the (practical) integration of professional and methodical responsibility, decision-making and soft skills.

Since its emergence in the educational context, the blended learning insurgentas a modality with its own identity. According to its evolution, runs through presentiality configured contexts and virtuality. In a first stage, stood as a mixed or combined mode, and then advanced to integration, which resulted in the dilutionof its components. The progressive social changes, technological and cultural towards convergence, today brings a new north-mode, given the confluence of pedagogical and technological mediations in the training process. This position places him in a new trend that more than a possibility, actually represents a more explicable on the future of Blended Learning. / Desde su emergencia en el contexto educativo, el blended learning surge como una modalidad con identidad propia. Conforme a su evolución, discurre por contextos configurados por la presencialidad y virtualidad. En un primer estadio, se situó como una modalidad mixta o de combinación; posteriormente avanzó a una integración que supuso la dilución de sus componentes. La progresiva evolución social, tecnológica y cultural hacia la convergencia aporta, en la actualidad, un nuevo norte a la modalidad dada la confluencia de las mediaciones pedagógicas y tecnológicas en el proceso formativo. Este posicionamiento lo ubica dentro de una nueva tendencia, que más que una posibilidad, representa una realidad más explicable sobre el devenir del blended learning.

Assim, busco refletir sobre as implicações de tal percepção para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem visando ao letramento digital. Nesse cenário, então, propusemos cinco aulas em uma turma institucional do Moodle entre junho e julho de 2014. As aulas foram orientadas a partir do programa da Olimpíada Brasileira de Língua Portuguesa e as postagens dos diários do ambiente virtual compõem o nosso corpus de pesquisa. Com isso, busquei construir caminhos para entender a tríade ensino on-line/cibercultura/letramento digital através da fundamentação teórica que parte do Sistema da Avaliatividade (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005) auxiliado pela abordagem da Psicologia Cognitiva (SCHERER, 2005), na intersecção entre letramento digital (SOARES, 2002; COSCARELLI, 2014) e multiletramentos (ROJO, 2009; 2012) e nas problemáticas atinentes à cibercultura/ciberespaço (LÉVY, 1999; LEMOS, 2000-2008). A metodologia de análise está amparada nas categorias conceituais do Sistema de Avaliatividade e nas problemáticas norteadoras trazidas pela tríade em Rojo (2009), Soares (2002, 2003, 2010), Coscarelli e Santos (2007), Coscarelli (2014) Franciosi, Medeiros e Cola (2003), Tori (2009), Lemos (2000), Lévy (1999), Dias (1999), Freitas (2010) e Santaella (2013). Nesse processo, os dados foram organizados a partir da concepção de Grupos de Avaliação (GAs) (WHITELAW, GARG; ARGAMON, 2005), que são grupos coerentes de palavras que expressam em conjunto uma atitude particular. Os resultados mostram a ocorrência de 183 adjetivos distribuídos em 163 GAs, de onde extraímos para reflexão as categorias de análise (1) aula, (2) Moodle, (3) produção, (4) experiência e (5) avaliador. Nossa análise mostra que o Sistema de Avaliatividade é um método eficaz tanto de avaliação do ambiente digital, consolidando-se como lugar de ensino aprendizagem no ensino fundamental, como para o mapeamento do léxico da emoção da faixa etária que compõe o grupo analisado. Mais que isso, mostra a possibilidade de um cenário de satisfação do aluno de ensino fundamental para com o processo de letramento digital a partir do ambiente virtual de aprendizagem / This work aims to identify how students from a 6th grade class at a public school in Novo Hamburgo, Brazil, linguistically express the perception of their first text production experience from Moodle. Thus, I tried to reflect on the implications of this perception to the process of teaching and learning aiming at the digital literacy. In this setting, then, we proposed five classes in a Moodle institutional group from June to July, 2014. The classes were driven from the Brazilian Olympiad of Portuguese Language program, and the daily postings of the virtual environment constitute our research corpus. Having that, I sought to build pathways to understand the triad on-line teaching/cyberculture/digital literacy through a theoretical background which considers the Appraisal Theory (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005) aided by the approach of Cognitive Psychology (SCHERER, 2005), at the intersection between digital literacy (SOARES, 2002; COSCARELLI, 2014) and multiliteracies (ROJO, 2009; 2012), and the issues relating to cyberculture/cyberspace (LÉVY, 1999; LEMOS, 2000-2008). The analysis methodology is supported on the conceptual categories of the Appraisal Theory and on the guiding questions brought by the triad at Rojo (2009), Soares (2002, 2003, 2010), Coscarelli and Santos (2007), Coscarelli (2014) Franciosi, Medeiros and Cola (2003), Tori (2009), Lemos (2000), Lévy (1999), Dias (1999), Freitas (2010) and Santaella (2013). In this process, data is organized from the Appraisal Groups (AGs) design (WHITELAW, GARG; ARGAMON, 2005), which are coherent groups of words that together express a particular attitude. The results show the occurrence of 183 adjectives distributed in 163 AGs, from which we extract to reflect the categories of analysis (1) class, (2) Moodle, (3) production, (4) experience and (5) evaluator. Our analysis shows that the Appraisal Theory is an effective method both to evaluate the digital environment, consolidating its position as a teaching-learning place in primary education, and for the emotion lexical mapping of the age group that constitutes the analyzed group. Moreover, it shows the possibility of a satisfaction setting of an elementary school student to the process of digital literacy from the virtual learning environment.

In diesem Beitrag wird ein Blended-Learning-Konzept zur Vermittlung von Medienkompetenz und medienpädagogischer Kompetenz bei Lehramtsstudierenden in der universitären Lehrerausbildung vorgestellt. Dieses Seminarkonzept beinhaltet die Kombination von Vorlesung, Workshop, Nutzung einer Onlinebibliothek, eines Lernmanagementsystems und selbstgesteuerter sowie selbstorganisierter Gruppenarbeit von Studierenden. Dieses Konzept zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, wie mit großen Studierendengruppen an der Hochschule gearbeitet werden kann. Im Beitrag wird ein Schwerpunkt auf die Workshops und Gruppenarbeit gelegt. Zunächst werden dabei die zugrunde liegenden Theorien und Konzepte vorgestellt. Diese sind die Medienkompetenz, die Schüler und Schülerinnen in der Schule erwerben sollten. Zusätzlich die medienpädagogische Kompetenz, mit der sich Studierende der Bildungswissenschaften in ihrem Hochschulstudium zur Vorbereitung auf ihre lehrende Tätigkeit an Schulen auseinandersetzen sollten. Neben diesen Kompetenzen bedarf es auch bestimmter Voraussetzungen hinsichtlich der Organisationsentwicklung an Schulen. Diese werden in einem Mehrebenenmodell dargestellt. Im Anschluss erfolgt die Darstellung des Blended-Learning-Konzeptes.
