Abstract

In an integrated, dynamic and ever changing world, it is imperative that students are able to transition between jobs irrespective of qualifications. Studies show that graduates are inadequately prepared for the working world. In an attempt to address this need a postgraduate certificate course was redesigned to follow a constructionist approach integrated with mobile technology. Data was collected from 2 learning designers and 29 students, forming a qualitative study. An evaluation of the activities and learning survival skills in the course was done using the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM). The results indicated that technology was integrated on various levels and students achieved a multitude of skills, making them more confident in their use of technology. Feelings of anxiety, incompetence and resistance were transformed to resilience, motivation and comfort. The art to address graduate preparedness for work lies in effective course design and a constructionist forward thinking approach to learning.

通过课程设计中的技术整合促进生存技能的学习

在一个一体化、动态和不断变化的世界里，无论学生的资历如何，都必须能够在不同的工作之间转换。研究表明，大学毕业生并没有为就业做好充分的准备。为了解决这一需求，我们重新设计了研究生证书课程，以遵循与移动技术相结合的建构主义方法。数据收集自2名学习设计师和29名学生，形成定性研究。使用技术集成矩阵(TIM)对课程中的活动和学习生存技能进行评估。结果表明，技术在各个层面上得到了整合，学生们掌握了多种技能，使他们对使用技术更有信心。焦虑、无能和抗拒的感觉转变为适应力、动力和舒适感。解决毕业生工作准备的艺术在于有效的课程设计和建构主义的前瞻性学习方法。

期刊介绍： The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
