In Japan, distance education has been practiced mainly in an asynchronous format, originating in the “lecture notes” and subsequent “correspondence education.” In this paper, the case of the Open University of Japan (OUJ), a sole distance education university with a fully functional broadcast station, is discussed in examining the importance of synchronicity in distance education, where online synchronicity as a pedagogical tool was first introduced as the result of the urgent needs of replacing the face-to-face schooling cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of three surveys conducted after the emergency online classes in July 2020, and synchronous online classes offered in the second semester of 2021 and in the first semester of 2022, show that synchronicity is important for student engagement through interaction and a sense of presence though some students do not like the time bounding aspect of synchronicity; hence causing the synchronicity dilemma.","PeriodicalId":150970,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129432207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this in mind, the Brazilian Ministry of Justice has proposed training for elementary and high school teachers in public schools, in order to prepare the entire school community to work on preventing and containing damage to the UAOD, especially in the school context. In order to verify if the objectives of the course were achieved and, considering the complexity and different actors involved in the theme, a matrix previously produced to evaluate online courses offered by the Ministry of Health was adapted for this course on UAOD, called online course on health and education. school security. We present in this article the adaptation of this matrix, which included the elaboration of a logical model and a logical theoretical model, in addition to Rationales on the main terms and subjects related to the evaluation items. Final AJM is composed 4 dimensions, 13 sub-dimensions, 49 indicators and 104 measures. The matrix underwent evaluation by experts. After validation, the matrix items were used to build a questionnaire to be applied to the graduates of the course. After validation, the matrix items were used to build a questionnaire to be applied to course graduates, in offers 6 and 7. Three experts were invited to assess this questionnaire. The agreement index used was the Content Validity Coefficient (CVC), which allowed the analysis of Clarity, Pertinence and Relevance of each item. A total of 1110 graduates responded to the questionnaire. Matrix allows to know if the learning objectives were achieved, about the engagement of the course participants, the involvement of the course participants and ther key actors of the school (such as parents of students, the management community, organizations, etc). In addition, it is possible to know the school context of the course participants and whether the course is suitable for the realities experienced in their territories. Possibly, this matrix can be used in other contexts if it is translated, validated and receives some adaptations in relation to the context items, according to the specificities of the territories of the students of the evaluated courses.","PeriodicalId":150970,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127210268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of teachers cannot perform well in such a transitional way of teaching since they are accustomed solely to the traditional method of teaching. For the sake of adapting to a diverse educational environment and promoting distance learning, this paper proposes to conduct a statistical analysis of the teaching method's value and pertinence. This study employs a mixed-method approach under simple random sampling. Thirty-five teachers participated in the Blended Teaching Readiness (BTR) Survey via Qualtrics and conducted a descriptive analysis. Furthermore, coding and thematic analysis were carried out on the interview data of six teachers. The study demonstrates that teachers’ positive attitudes toward factors can promote blended teaching, and also reveals the obstacles in implementing those factors. Our study suggests that teachers should persistently carry out professional information technology training, providing primary school students with superior online-learning experience during COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":150970,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126601315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although moderate confusion is proved to be effective for learning, being continuously confused without assistance would lead learners to harmful frustration. To make good use of confusion and avoid learners from falling into pessimistic academic emotions in persistent confusion, a teaching intervention model adopted in overcoming the difficulties is designed. The model includes 3 kinds of hints in promoting procedural knowledge and reflective discussion of 3 perspectives for deepening procedural understanding. To examine the designed intervention model, an experiment was conducted among undergraduates without previous knowledge. Learners were required to report their affective states and participate in a semi-structured interview. Results demonstrated that providing such step-by-step hints are necessary for dispelling confusion rather than presenting standardized answer directly. Besides, reflective discussion is effective for knowledge mastery and improvement. The model could be improved by providing reflective feedback and learning supports during the process.","PeriodicalId":150970,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131617572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This in turn affects the quality of both academic and administrative service delivery and the nation's economy. Therefore, the need to adopt a cloud portal of educational services (CloudPES), a cut-edge and low cost emerging IT service model is inevitable. This paper introduces a conceptual framework of CloudPES that describes a multi-tenant cloud portal where various educational services can be fully automated and integrated. With the use of explorative research method and object oriented analysis and design, fourteen different independent cloud applications as SaaS on deployment model of community cloud are presented for individual HEIs to subscribe. These applications are to automate educational services that can be rendered to/by staff; students; parents; management; and other stakeholders. CloudPES prototypes of the database design with its GUI implementation, checklist criteria for subscription of cloud applications and adoption benefits to HEIs are provided. The benefits of CloudPES to HEIs will include among others cost of software ownership reduction, increased return on investment, improved efficiency and productivity, high quality of educational service delivery, scalability, provision of secured source of big data analytics for research and decision making. As an example of software as a service (SaaS) that can run on community cloud of HEIs in Nigeria, subscription of CloudPES by HEIs in Nigeria is capable of revolutionizing and transforming HEIs into smart institutions.","PeriodicalId":150970,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122262715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Face-to-face time allows students to transfer knowledge and discuss different scientific aspects of the course to get the bigger picture. Exercises, worked solutions, self-assessed tests and peer-instruction during present time help students to check on their learning progress. Still, it is necessary to carefully guide the self-study periods and plan (online) plenary sessions to benefit from the teaching method and enhance the course learning outcome.

This mixed methods research aims to 1) examine the business school teaching faculty's readiness to teach online in terms of attitude and ability, and 2) identify the difficulties they encountered in online teaching. This would help the business school better prepare for the online transition to meet the needs of society. Teaching faculty from seven AACSB accredited business schools in Hong Kong were invited for an online survey (n = 48) and interview (n = 12). Results found teaching faculty perceived more confidence in Course Communication and less confidence in Technical Competence.
