Abstract

In today's educational environment, it has become essential for both educators and students to acquire digital communication skills and competencies. This is driven by the growing incorporation of digital information technologies into teaching and learning methods. Primarily, these skills and competencies center around the capability to utilize diverse technologies and digital tools for the purpose of sharing information and facilitating knowledge transfer between educators and students. Conversely, communicative and social skills, as well as teaching methods, tend to receive less attention in recent studies. The goal of this research was to explore the opinions of teachers and students in digital communication in higher education about the importance of social skills and innovative teaching methods that are recognized in earlier literature (see Stronge, 2007) as the basis of an effective teaching process. A collaborative effort involving three international universities led to the creation and distribution of two online questionnaires. Each university administered two separate questionnaires, one targeting teaching staff (n = 70) and the other aimed at undergraduate students (n = 237). Data analysis using the SPSS software enabled the generation of a meaningful depiction of the data. The study revealed numerous findings. For instance, students from all three countries showed a highly positive attitude towards social skills and innovative teaching methods in digital communication during the teaching process, while teachers did not. This discrepancy is particularly evident between students and teachers in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also, the age of students significantly affects the importance they attach to these aspects of the educational process, while gender does not.
高等教育数字通信参与者对教学过程中社交技能和创新教学方法重要性的态度
在当今的教育环境中,教育工作者和学生都必须掌握数字通信技能和能力。这是数字信息技术日益融入教学方法的结果。这些技能和能力主要围绕着利用各种技术和数字工具来共享信息和促进教育者与学生之间的知识传递的能力。相反,在最近的研究中,交流和社交技能以及教学方法往往较少受到关注。本研究的目的是探讨高等教育数字通信领域的教师和学生对社交技能和创新教学方法重要性的看法,这些技能和方法在早期文献(见 Stronge, 2007)中被认为是有效教学过程的基础。三所国际大学通力合作,制作并分发了两份在线问卷。每所大学分别发放两份问卷,一份针对教学人员(n = 70),另一份针对本科生(n = 237)。通过使用 SPSS 软件进行数据分析,对数据进行了有意义的描述。研究揭示了许多发现。例如,在教学过程中,三个国家的学生都对数字交流中的社交技能和创新教学方法表现出非常积极的态度,而教师则不然。这种差异在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的学生和教师之间尤为明显。此外,学生的年龄对他们在教育过程中对这些方面的重视程度有很大影响,而性别则没有影响。
