The need to define and incorporate best evaluation practices in online learning environments is growing as a result of the proliferation of online learning environments and the resulting continued demand for answerability. Assessment is a structured method of documenting learning by concrete data. It is used to improve all facets of student learning by assessing comprehension, skills, dispositions, and beliefs learned from instructional sequences.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130860661","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}

Data were collected quantitatively and qualitatively from 163 teachers enrolled on training in MOOC for TPD. The features used for analytics were extracted from pre-survey data, discussion forum responses, MOOC report analytics, and face to face class work snapshots. The study results revealed that based on TPD core features from Desimone, the MOOC platform for TPD training encouraged teachers to collaborate and communicate with one another on different strategies and challenges encountered in their face to face classroom. There were also advances in teachers’ face-to-face interaction with students on using Students Centered teaching strategies in their classroom from the analysis of classwork snapshots on the MOOC platform. Despite the challenges of using MOOCs for TPD for some of the teachers, it is observed that implementing TPD based on core features from Desimone increases teachers’ knowledge and skills and improves their students’ learning.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121669473","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}

These students have declared interest in enrolling at our university, particularly at the School of Engineering and Science. Soft competencies have always been a valuable resource that employers look for in students that finish a college education. Universities around the world make many efforts to attract more students into Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs. This work presents a simple but effective methodology that has worked for us during visits and workshops to high schools as part of our attraction process. In this work we show how some soft competencies like creativity, teamwork, stress management and goal-oriented work are developed at a basic level within a gamification context. The results of a survey answered by two hundred students show the perception of students on how those competencies were developed, how their interest in STEM programs was confirmed and also, how their self confidence in pursuing a “hard” program was strengthened. We present this work so that other universities, particularly those in developing nations, could include this type of gamification activities in their attraction process and improve on the enrolling numbers of students in STEM programs.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133539408","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}

We call the model P-CAR to emphasize a positive cognition-action-reflection procedure to cultivate subjective well-being during cultural learning. We conducted a pilot study and then a formal study to test the feasibility of the framework with technology-enhanced instruction and cultural creation activities. We found significant improvement for students’ subjective well-being, conceptual understanding, in-class performance, and program attitude. Hence, positive psychology seems to help promote more effective moral, virtue and cultural education. This paper paves the way for future “fusion” research and helps provide more data and discussion on positive psychology education, especially regarding its application in China.

It has also harvested a reputation for improving collaboration and socialization among student-student and student-teacher dyads. Evidence-based learning remains limited in learning with technology, showing whether students actually learn with digitized and mobilized technologies. Smartphones and mobile technologies continue to be the device of choice for young generations, namely those who occupy traditional classrooms and those who frequently engage in distance learning platforms. Employing Martin Seligman's Well-Being Theory (WBT), the PERMA model as the theoretical foundation for this research, will demonstrate how technology for learning presents a myriad of advantages and complexities where the multidimensions of well-being is concerned. The theoretical foundation would largely contribute to the trustworthiness of this literature. This research will focus on previous pieces of literature relevant to learning with technology, collaboration, socialization, and well-being. It will attempt to diversely fill the gap illustrated by Briz-Ponce et al. of what some of the drivers are that motivates learning and teaching with innovative and emergent technologies. It is suggested that future research take a diverse and demographic approach to show how knowledge acquisition with technology influences students’ well-being, academic achievement, and opportunities for collaboration and social wealth. More importantly, future research should be respectful of culture, race, age, community, or geographic location. Limitations of this study will be addressed.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"555 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134238803","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 work aims to explore the cybersecurity competition contestants’ interests and opinions by collecting and analyzing Reddit data. Reddit is a leading hub for students and professionals to exchange information and share experience. We identified a list of keywords of interest and gathered over three thousand relevant public posts. Both qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods are employed to gain insight into learners’ interests and opinions from the data. Our results of analyzing Reddit posts provide a complementary understanding of learners’ interests and opinions compared with the existing survey studies of cybersecurity competitions. The frequency analysis results show that the popular topics include training tools, career advice, penetration testing, CTF, and certifications. Although survey studies are more targeted, our analysis of Reddit posts provides a more complete picture of how learners’ sentiment is impacted by competitions. In the end, our analysis results enable us to discuss several practical implications of the findings and directions of future work.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128604486","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}
