There were two classes with different learning methods: one with only the online-mentor and the other with both online and onsite mentors. The students received self-esteem scale and academic self-efficacy test at the very first and last class of the program. As a result, students showed positive alteration of self-esteem and academic self-efficacy after the program, meaning this program is effective at developing student's self-esteem and academic self-efficacy. This proposes that more education programs should be provided in order to raise underprivileged students with high potential into outstanding individuals.","PeriodicalId":170069,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133512391","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}

For example, students can record their experiences and refer to them later. Teachers can create a virtual community of participants that enhance collaborative learning. Arising from the benefits of using technology in learning, the Government of Kenya introduced ICT in education as well as use of laptops for class one pupils. However, building the teacher capacity to integrate technology in their teaching makes the implementation of the government project challenging. Teachers feel confident about their knowledge of the pedagogy and content but are less confident when it comes to technology knowledge. This paper explores how technology can be integrated in a lesson plan to enable a teacher deliver a technology aided class. Kolb's experiential approach to lesson planning, Bybees learning cycle and TPACK technology integration model were used in the development of the lesson plan. Technology Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) identifies the nature of knowledge teachers require in order to integrate technology in their teaching. A group of 18 students taking a course in education during the May-August 2016 semester were engaged in developing the lesson plan. The process proved that effective teaching and learning is possible through technology which is already in the hands of students.","PeriodicalId":170069,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130609283","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}

For instance, FAT file systems illustrations can be a protracted process in a practical session: hopping amongst FAT table, boot sector, root directory, and data area take long time. This is frustrating for students and arduous for the instructor. In this paper, we present a novel pedagogical framework for efficient digital forensic education. It is built using modular and flexible software architecture. This makes it simple to expand and include new topics. FAT file system forensic is implemented in the framework to verify its effectiveness first. Afterward, other topics such as different file systems (e.g., NTFS), operating system analysis, network, and memory forensics can be implemented. Most of the presented illustrations use RTF format for easier accessibility, zooming, and maintaining format when copied to word processors (e.g., Microsoft Word). The proposed framework should enhance and facilitate digital forensics education.","PeriodicalId":170069,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128318159","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}

In problem based learning, students are able to team together to explore significant tasks driven by challenging, open-ended problems with no one \"right\" answers. Students work as self-directed, active investigators and problem-solvers in small collaborative groups. They apply knowledge to new situations and are known to team together physically and explore tasks inside the classroom and also in the social networks. Usage of technology in the classroom is low among students with the exception of social networking technologies whose adoption is common place. This paper explores the experiences from a group of 15 PhD students taking a course in education who were using Haiku platform to prepare lesson plans in their course work in May/August 2016 semester. The students were to prepare lesson plans based on various models of lesson planning and use either SAMR or TPACK ICT integration models to demonstrate how to integrate technology in the class room. The students were then to share their experiences on the Haiku platform with their lecturer and other students. An oversight group of 10 other students offered constructive criticisms to every group of 5 students that participated. All the students found that they had a personal stake in the quality of work presented through the Haiku platform and that they were able to collaborate, critique and solve real life problems. This paper underscores the importance of Haiku learning platform as an appropriate environment that empowers students to nurture, foster and enable problem based learning.","PeriodicalId":170069,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131306813","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}

It has long been held that language learners should avoid use their L1 when learning L1.However, in this article, I argue that under Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, L1 may play a beneficial role in L2 learning by comparing two empirical studies. Both studies based on the sociocultural theory provide useful evidence of L1 use as a mediation tool in SLA. Parkville argued that learners used their L1 as a mediating tool when they performed complex tasks. Marta and Dicamilla also emphasized that the L1 use was found to serve a critical function in students' attempts to mutually define various elements of their task. The cognitive functions the L1 served are discussed in both studies. By applying the method of discourse analysis, Parkville believed that her study in the laboratory context did not demonstrate that the L1 was more useful than the L2. While Marta and Frederick illustrated that the meditational value of L1 and L2 were different in learners with different levels. Furthermore, Parkville argued that the use of L1 may assist learners \"to gain control of the task\" (Brook&Donato, 1994, p.271) [8] and work with the task at a higher cognitive level. L1 can also help learners to define the unknown words successfully. In conclusion, regardless of the differences in the two studies, the L1 use in L2 has a lot of useful functions under the socio-cultural theory.","PeriodicalId":170069,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128679975","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}

After the world best education systems have been identified, they are used as models for the rest of the countries. This procedure has an obvious limitation: if the rankings are obtained assessing content and methods already established, these are perpetuated. New curriculum and methodologies are difficult to integrate into existing education systems. Research in the last two decades has shown the limitations of the current education systems and the need to incorporate new paradigms. However, the current method that the governments use to design their education systems makes the adoption of radically new paradigms a highly risky proposition. This paper reviews the limitations of the current education systems, in particular in the area of mathematics. It discusses a set of fundamental changes in curriculum and teaching methodology. Finally, it reviews the role of e-learning as an integral part of the transition from traditional education systems to modern systems.","PeriodicalId":170069,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126726064","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}
