This can contribute to increasing participation, motivation, enjoyment, academic performance, and the transfer of knowledge to learners. Higher education has a substantial role in motivating students by applying this concept to educational goals. This study investigates the gamification concepts as an educational resource, a motivation strategy, a solution to improve the professional knowledge and skills, a novel method for organizing teaching-learning, a platform, an innovative method in the learning processes, a learning scenario, an assessment tool, a pedagogical/didactic approach, and an application to higher education studies. Furthermore, this paper explores gamification reviews in education. Then the teaching-learning approaches which are used in the higher education context are identified. At the first step, a scoping review is carried out through 56 articles. At the second step, various learning approaches and strategies are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":167007,"journal":{"name":"2021 14th National and 8th International Conference on e-Learning and e-Teaching (ICELET)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114548642","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}

To this end, a five open-ended questionnaire aimed at unveiling pre-service teachers' conceptions and knowledge was administered to 50 Master of Arts (MA) students in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at Iran University of Science and Technology. The results indicated that the most important element of Community of Inquiry (CoI) was the cognitive presence. The results also revealed that the most important indicators of the social, cognitive, and teaching elements were found to be ‘encouraging collaboration’, ‘applying new ideas', and ‘setting curriculum and method’, respectively. The results also revealed that with regard to the challenges of implementing indicators of CoI, pre-service teachers held the opinion that ‘applying new ideas', ‘sense of puzzlement’, ‘encouraging collaboration’, and ‘setting curriculum and method’ were the most challenging indicators. This study recommends that teacher educators offer pre-service teachers some training courses on CoI indicators and elements and their implementation in online English language classes.","PeriodicalId":167007,"journal":{"name":"2021 14th National and 8th International Conference on e-Learning and e-Teaching (ICELET)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134358876","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}

Understanding the attitude of users in using social networks seems to be highly important due to the increased use of online social networks. In this study, we targeted the evaluation of factors affecting students' intention to use social networks as an educational facilitating tool in the Covid-19 pandemic era based on the Davis Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and other studies in this area. To this end, we first reviewed the literature to extract the factors affecting the intention of students to use social networks, based on which, the structural equations model was formed. This study was conducted among 200 students. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was used to analyze the data. The findings analysis indicated the usefulness of the perceived use and perceived ease of use on the intention to use social networks. The results of this study provide fruitful insight into the use of social networks as an educational facilitation tool for policy-makers.","PeriodicalId":167007,"journal":{"name":"2021 14th National and 8th International Conference on e-Learning and e-Teaching (ICELET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129401012","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}
