Barriers of Digital Technologies in Higher Education : A Teachers’ Perspective from a Swedish University / Hinder för digital teknik inom högre utbildning : En lärares perspektiv från ett svenskt universitetStüber, Julian January 2018 (has links)
Digital Technologies are gaining more and more importance in higher education as they not only reshape and digitalize the on-campus teacher-student communication but also – in times of globalization – open up education to the world. It further facilitates individuals who would have been otherwise excluded from education to attend distance education programs. Such possibilities of digital technologies depict new opportunities for universities and enables them to emerge into a whole new market. Apart from all these benefits, the permeation of digital technologies in higher education brings along challenges and barriers for the teachers. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to identify the digital technologies that teachers are using to fulfill their daily teaching activities and to investigate the prevalent attitude of teachers towards digital technologies in higher education. It further identifies the barriers that arise with the adaption of the respective technologies and examines the strategies which teachers developed to deal with these barriers. For this purpose, the qualitative study follows the interpretive paradigm and adopts semi-structured interviews and a focus group in a young medium sized Swedish University. After coding, categorizing and conceptualizing the findings, the study shows that teachers have an overall positive attitude towards digital technologies but also experience negative emotions when encountering barriers. The identified barriers range from cognitive limitations of teachers, to technological downsides, to issues concerning the support over to institutional constraints. The findings furthermore show that the attitudes, barriers, and strategies to circumvent the barriers are intertwined with and have impacts on each other.

Usos e apropriações de tecnologias digitais para a participação político-cidadã : perspectivas das juventudes brasileiras /Camargo, Aline Cristina. January 2020 (has links)
Orientador: Antonio Francisco Magnoni / Resumo: Historicamente tem-se observado a inserção das tecnologias nos processos de transformação econômica, social, cultural e política. Também estão evidentes os padrões geracionais no uso das tecnologias, bem como padrões de classe, de acesso a serviços públicos e privados, e seu potencial para mobilizar opiniões e configurar ou reformatar movimentos de protesto e reivindicações sociais. A internet e as redes sociais digitais são importantes para a inclusão participativa de parcelas da sociedade que permaneciam excluídas da convivência política. As juventudes são um exemplo concreto de aumento da participação online. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os usos e apropriações das tecnologias digitais para a participação político-cidadã pelas juventudes brasileiras. Foram definidos os seguintes objetivos específicos: a) verificar quais elementos e contextos caracterizam o processo de apropriação de novas tecnologias em experiências de mobilização político-social no Brasil; b) mapear e divulgar iniciativas de participação político-cidadã realizadas a partir dos usos e apropriações de tecnologias digitais; c) contribuir para a discussão sobre participação, capital social, ação e mobilização coletiva e tecnologias digitais, com foco nos processos de apropriação e de uso das tecnologias digitais para a participação política pelos jovens brasileiros.

Generational patterns in the use of technologies are also evident, as well as class standards, access to public and private services, and their potential to mobilize opinions and configure or reformat protest movements and social demands. The internet and social media are important for the participatory inclusion of parts of society that remained excluded from political coexistence. Youths are a concrete example of increasing online participation. Thus, this research aims to analyze the uses and appropriations of digital technologies for political-citizen participation by Brazilian youth. The following specific objectives were defined: a) to verify which elements and contexts characterize the process of appropriation of new technologies in experiences of political and social mobilization in Brazil; b) map and disseminate initiatives for political-citizen participation carried out based on the uses and appropriations of digital technologies; c) contribute to the discussion on participation, social capital, collective action and mobilization and digital technologies, focusing on the processes of appropriation and use of digital technologies for political participation by young Brazilians. Considering the research objects as dynamic and changeable in the face of not only technological updates, but also of a behavioral and subjective nature, i...

La connexion au quotidien : réflexion sur nos temporalitésMigault, Ariane 07 1900 (has links)
Dans les médias d’information, il est de plus en plus régulièrement question, recherches scientifiques à l’appui, du danger que poserait la connexion pour tous ceux et celles qui passent trop de temps branché.e.s à des appareils numériques. Une charge normative est ainsi apposée sur la connexion et le temps. Ce mémoire explore la conception de la connexion par les personnes qui la vivent et l’interrogent au quotidien. L’objectif est aussi de comprendre comment celle-ci pourrait orienter leurs expériences du temps ou comment elle pourrait être tributaire des temporalités induites par la société. La méthodologie de cette recherche exploratoire a pris la forme d’entrevues semi-dirigées menées à Montréal auprès de quatre personnes « connectées » et réfléchissant la connexion au quotidien. Nous nous rencontrions une fois par semaine pendant un mois et les participant.e.s remplissaient régulièrement un journal de bord qu’iels me présentaient ensuite, pour amorcer nos rendez-vous. À la lumière de l’analyse des transcriptions d’entrevues, je suggère que les participant.e.s ont en commun différentes approches de la dé-connexion. Cette dernière peut se conceptualiser en termes d’infrastructures, d’artefacts et de symboles. Aussi, différentes temporalités parcourent, modulent et son modulées par la dé-connexion vécue comme un moyen de s’intégrer socialement et de viser un idéal de connexion (temporellement) équilibré. / Based on various scientific studies, news media discourse address more and more regularly the danger posed by connection to all of those who spend too much time using digital devices. A normative load is therefore placed on connection and time. This research project aims to: a) explore what connection means to people whose daily lives involve being connected and questioning their connection; and b) to understand how their approach to connection may orient their experiences of time while at the same time being affected by the temporalities around which today’s societies are organized.
The methodological approach that guides this exploratory research features semi-structured interviews conducted in Montreal with four “connected” people who questioned the place of connection in their daily lives. We met once a week for a month and the participants regularly filled out a logbook which they then presented to me at the beginning of each of our conversations. Based on the analysis of interview transcripts, I suggest that the participants share different approaches to dis-connection. The latter can be conceptualized in terms of infrastructure, artifacts and symbols. Also different temporalities modulate and are modulated by this dis-connection as people experience it as a means to fit in, and to aim for an ideal (time) balanced practice.

Web Movements and Organic Intellectuals:Thalla, Satish 16 September 2019 (has links)
Eine neue Art von sozialen Bewegungen führt nicht nur Individuen aus der breiten Masse in neue politische und soziale Themen ein und stärkt ihre politische Partizipation, sondern befähigt sie, zu lernen, sich auszutauschen und zu organisieren, um sich so dafür einzusetzen, dass die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Institutionen im Sinne ihrer Interessen arbeiten. Diese Hypothesen sollen dabei helfen, eine Antwort auf folgende Forschungsfrage zu
finden: Wie unterstützen digitale Technologien die Entwicklung von organischen intellektuellen? Um die oben genannten Hypothesen zu validieren, wurde ausgehend von den von Manuel Castells und Antonio Gramsci vorgestellten Konzepten eine qualitative Analyse der Ergebnisse semi-strukturierter Interviews aus vier verschiedenen Ländern auf vier Kontinenten durchgeführt.
Die Forschungsarbeit untersucht zentrale Charakteristika der digitalen Umgebung globaler Web-Bewegungen. Zum einen bezieht sich dies aufgängige Kritikpunkte an politischer Online-Partizipation wie "Digital Divide", "Clicktivism" und "Simplification", zum anderen auf die Verwässerung des Konzepts der Souveränität. Auf Grundlage der erhobenen Daten argumentiert die vorliegende Arbeit gegen diese Kritikpunkte und problematisiert das
Konzept der nationalen Souveränität. Die Forschungsarbeit stellt die Annahme infrage, dass globale Unterstützung für lokale Angelegenheiten auf Solidarität basiert, und führt eine Perspektive ein, die das Recht auf Beteiligung als Ausdruck einer Identifikation als globaler Staatsbürger versteht. / A new kind of social movements are not only introducing individuals from
within the masses to new political and social topics, and raising their interest
and activity in political education and participation, but also enabling their
ability to learn, discuss, deliberate, share, and organize themselves for making
the political institutions of the society to work for their interests. This
hypothesis was formulated in order to aid the process of finding an answer to
the research question: how are digital technologies helping in the development
process of organic intellectuals? Based on the concepts presented by Manuel
Castells and Antonio Gramsci, a qualitative analysis of the responses collected
in four countries across four different continents using semi-structured
interviews presented the evidence used to validate the above hypothesis.
The research also examines couple of main aspects of the online environment
in relation to a global web movement. One is relating to the major criticisms of
online political participation such as 'Digital Divide', 'Clicktivism', and
'Simplification', while the second is relating to the dilution of the concept of
'Sovereignty'. The gathered data allows this research to argue against the
criticisms, and problematize the concept of national sovereignty. This research
questions the general assumption that a global action in support of local issues
is based on solidarity, and presents a different perspective focused on the right
to demand action based on an identification of global citizenship.

Erfarenheter vid tillämpning av m-hälsa och digital hälsoteknik bland personer med diabetes typ 2Abdollahzadeh, Avishan, Sangarnegar, Andreas January 2022 (has links)
Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 är en kronisk sjukdom samt ett globalt folkhälsoproblem. Hälso-och sjukvården i många länder strävar efter att minska diabetesrelaterade komplikationer. Patientens egenvård och självhantering av diabetes typ 2 har en betydande roll i behandlingsförloppet. Digital hälsoteknik och m-hälsa är en resurs som kan möjliggöra att patienter känner sig delaktiga och självständiga i hantering av diabetes typ 2. Dessa hälsoinsatser har potential att öka patientens välbefinnande och livskvalité. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva erfarenheter från användning av m-hälsa och digital hälsoteknik bland patienter med diabetes typ 2. Metod: Allmän litteraturöversikt med tematisk analys som baserades på 11 vetenskapliga originalartiklar med kvalitativ ansats. Resultat: Dataanalysen resulterade i fem teman: Förbättrad egenvård och empowerment, Ökad kunskap och patientcoaching, Integritet, säkerhet och trovärdighet, Tillgänglighet till vårdgivare, samt Utmaningar- kostnad och teknisk erfarenhet. Resultatet visade att det finns både möjligheter och utmaningar med användning av m-hälsa och digital hälsoteknik för patienter med diabetes typ 2. Dessa hälsoresurser kunde stärka patienters förmågan till egenvård som bidrog till ökad egenmakt och självständighet hos patienterna. Slutsats: Patienterna hade en positiv upplevelse av tillämpning av digital hälsoteknik och m-hälsa med avseende på egenvårdaktiviteter samt kunskap och kontroll över sjukdomstillståndet. Digitala hälsovårdstjänster på distans möjliggjorde en lätt och bekväm tillgång till sjukvårdspersonal för patienter med diabetes typ 2. Detta ökade deras tillfredsställelse och minskade behovet av fysiska besök av sjukvårdspersonal. Kostnaden för teknikutrustning samt låga nivåer av digital kompetens begränsade patienters upplevelse av de möjligheter som dessa resurser kan bidra med. En god och jämlik hälsa kan uppnås genom att öka medvetenheten kring de möjligheter som erbjuds av m-hälsa och digital hälsoteknik. / Background: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease and a global public health problem. Healthcare in many countries are working hard to reduce diabetes-related complications. Patient self-care and self-management of type 2 diabetes play a major roll during the treatment. Digital health technology and mHealth are resources that can enable patients to feel involved and independent in the management of type 2 diabetes. These health initiatives have the potential to increase the patient’s well-being and quality of life. Aim: The aim was to describe experiences of the use of mHealth and digital health technologies among patients with type 2 diabetes. Method: General literature review with thematic analysis based on 11 original scientific articles with a qualitative approach. Results: The data analysis resulted in five themes: Improved self-care and empowerment, Increased knowledge and patient coaching, Integrity, safety and credibility, Accessibility to care providers, Challenges- costs and technical experience. The results showed that there are both opportunities and challenges with the use of m-health and digital health technology for patients with type 2 diabetes. These health resources could strengthen patients' ability to self-care which contributed to increased autonomy and independence in patients. Conclusions: The patients had a positive experience of applying digital heath technologies and mHealth regarding to self-care activities as well as knowledge and control over the disease state. Digital health care services in long distance enabled easy and convenient access to healthcare professionals for patient with type 2 diabetes, increased their satisfaction and reduced the need for physical visits by healthcare professionals. The cost of technology equipment and low levels of digital competence limited patients’ experience of the opportunities that might be used of these resources. Good and equal health can be achieved by increasing awareness of the opportunities offered by mHealth and digital health technologies.

[pt] CONHECIMENTO E TECNOLOGIA: UMA ANÁLISE DO DISCURSO DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS EM EDUCAÇÃO / [en] KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNOLOGY: A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC POLICIES IN EDUCATION06 April 2021 (has links)
[pt] Em 1999, Pierre Lévy afirmou que qualquer reflexão sobre o futuro da educação deveria ser pautada em uma análise prévia da mutação da relação com o saber. Percebe-se, hoje, que não somente essa relação sofre alterações em virtude dos adventos tecnológicos, como intensificam-se os desafios para a educação. Os discursos pedagógicos atuais perpassam ideais de mudança no currículo escolar e na formação de professores e a necessidade de paradigmas, que dialoguem com as inovações tecnológicas. É questionada a ênfase da prática escolar em resultados, memorização e interesses mercadológicos, em detrimento do foco no conhecimento e na cultura. Contudo, ao se interrogar o que se entende por “conhecimento” ou por tecnologia no âmbito educacional, percebe-se uma profusão de interpretações. Esta pesquisa propõe identificar e analisar as percepções de conhecimento e de tecnologia que perpassam o discurso educacional e de que forma essas ideias se relacionam entre si. Para tanto, é utilizada a Análise Crítica do Discurso dos documentos das Políticas Públicas em Educação com relação à incorporação das tecnologias digitais no âmbito escolar, especificamente o Plano Nacional de Educação 2014-2024 e o Programa de Inovação Educação Conectada. Utiliza-se três categorias norteadoras das percepções educacionais do conhecimento: pensamentos cartesiano, construtivista e sistêmico. Propõe-se, ainda, duas categorias de análise sobre tecnologia: artefato técnico e artefato sociocultural. Considera-se que, embora haja apontamentos em direção a perspectivas sistêmicas e socioculturais, as visões preponderantes se relacionam mais aos aspectos do pensamento cartesiano e da percepção da tecnologia como artefato técnico. / [en] In 1999, Pierre Lévy stated that any reflection on the future of education should be based on a prior analysis of the alterations in the relationship between human beings and knowledge. Today, it is possible to observe that not only this link undergoes profound changes due to the technological advances, but there is also an intensification of the challenges for education. Current pedagogical discourses permeate ideas of changes in the school curriculum and in teacher training programs, along with the need for paradigms that engage with technological innovations. The emphasis of school practice on results, memorisation and marketing interests, to the detriment of the focus on knowledge and culture, is also questioned. However, by examining what is meant by knowledge or technology in the educational field, it is possible to notice a profusion of interpretations. This research aims to identify and analyse the perceptions of knowledge and technology that permeate the educational discourse and how these ideas relate to each other. For that, documents of the Public Policies in Education regarding the inclusion of the digital technologies in school are analysed through Critical Discourse Analysis. Specifically, the National Education Plan 2014-2024 and the Connected Education Innovation Program. Three categories are used to analyse the perceptions on knowledge: Cartesian, constructivist and systemic thinking. Along with them, there are two categories of analysis on technology: technical and sociocultural artefact. It is considered that, although there are indications towards systemic and sociocultural perspectives, the preponderant visions are more related to aspects of Cartesian thought and the perception of technology as a technical artefact.

Digitaliseringens påverkan på veckotidningsbranschen – En fallstudie på företaget Aller mediaHolmstedt, Jonas, Larsson, Rebecca January 2020 (has links)
På grund av digitaliseringens uppenbara påverkan på tidningsindustrin i kombination med brist på tidigare vetenskapliga studier kring detta ämne – söker denna studie att öka kunskapen och förståelsen för hur fenomenet digitalisering påverkat företag i veckotidningsindustrin. Studiens syfte är främst att undersöka hur företaget Aller media och dess affärsmodeller påverkats av digitaliseringen. För att ta reda på detta har inledningsvis två kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med två chefer på Aller media. Intervjuerna har sedan kompletterats med en webbenkät som besvarades av Aller medias anställda. Resultatet från datainsamlingsmetoderna visar att digitaliseringen haft en påtaglig påverkan på Aller media med både positiva och negativa konsekvenser. Sammantaget har Aller media anpassat sig väl sedan digitaliseringen och har med anammandet av nya digitala affärsmodeller lagt en bra grund för att vara fortsatt relevanta i en alltmer digitaliserad framtid. / Due to the obvious impact of digitalisation on the magazine industry in combination with lack of previous scientific studies on the subject - this study seeks to increase the knowledge andunderstanding of how the phenomenon of digitalisation has affected companies in the magazine industry. The purpose of the study is primarily to investigate how the company Aller media and its business models have been affected by digitalisation. To investigate this, two qualitative interviews were initially conducted with two managers at Aller media. The interviews were then supplemented with a web survey that were answered by Aller medias employees. The results from the data collection methods show that digitalisation has had a significant impact on Aller media with both positive and negative consequences. In total, Aller media has adapted well since digitalization and with the adoption of new digital business models the company has laid a good basis for remaining relevant in an increasingly digitalized future.

Užívání elektronických obrazovek u dětí ve věku 6-9 let / Screen use by children aged 6-9 yearsSvobodová, Lucie January 2021 (has links)
This diploma thesis focuses on the usage of digital technologies by children of early school age (1st to 3rd grade of elementary school). The aim of the thesis is to map in detail the use of screens in children aged 6-9 years and determine the age that would be suitable for the implementation of prevention programs aimed at the healthy use of technologies by children. The research is interested in how much time the children of a given age spend using electronic screens and what type of screens they usually use, what activities they do on the device, how the use differs between boys and girls and whether there are differences in use by children among the first three grades of primary school. The chosen research design is a cross-sectional questionnaire survey in an online form intended for parents. The results of the research showed that the amount of screen time increased with the age of the child and a larger increase was observed mainly in children in the 3rd grade of primary school. Most often, children spend time on mobile devices (smartphone or tablet) and watching TV. We also noticed a slight increase in the use of game consoles for boys in the 3rd grade of primary school, while girls use these devices hardly ever. Thus, prevention programs and education on the safe use and the risks...
