In this purpose, we discuss more particularly the contributions of that techno-pedagogical innovation achieved in this master using virtual worlds, to enhance skills development in terms of creativity, collaboration and reflexivity in project management. This innovation is based on the instructional design of a scenario in an immersive virtual environment, where students are supposed to be engaged in collaborative design and organization of project through both their avatars and 3D artefacts (3D mind mapping, interactive board, virtual 3D objects). The contributions of this techno-pedagogy are analysed from an enactive conception of competence acquiring, at the intersection of two complementary theoretical concepts: embodied learning and creative scaffolding. We use an abductive approach where collected data are various: students and teachers’ videos in situation in the virtual world, chat messages exchanges in world between students and with their teacher, and elucidation interviews with the teacher. The results highlight that the technology of virtual world through the combination of a creative scaffolding from the teacher and students’ processes constitute as knowledge in the body—e.g. particular ways of moving, via the avatar, would allow the commitment of the whole person in an enactive construction of the competence, difficult to implement in a physical space at university.","PeriodicalId":345570,"journal":{"name":"EDULEARN20 Proceedings","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129320737","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}

The pedagogical implications of English Medium\u0000 Instruction (EMI) in the specific context of higher education in the UAE are not well understood, and research is needed to\u0000 establish what kinds of support speakers of English as a second or additional language (L2) might need to fully access content\u0000 knowledge in English without burdening learning. Our empirical work hypothesizes that learning content through L2 may lead to more\u0000 favourable results if the L1 is explicitly drawn upon as a resource in addition to the L2.

Firstly, preschool education is contextualized in order to better frame the need for an active investment in the valuing of this educational level. Given its short existence, accompanied by advancements and setbacks, the idea often perceived in social discourse about preschool education in Portugal is often not one of an activity aimed at the global development of children, as assistentialist conceptions persist. However, while there isn’t a structured curriculum for preschool, there are Curricular Guidelines for Preschool Education (CGPE), a set of general principles which contribute to the childhood educators’ decisions about their educational practice and the educational intentionality of the activities developed with children. This document is a referential for the national network of preschool education for the construction of curriculum, which retains a wide margin of decision for the contextualization and differentiation of curriculum, acknowledging the childhood educators’ role as a curriculum decision maker. The aim of this study was to understand the conception that preschool teachers, 1st cycle teachers and some parents have about this level of education as well as to understand if they recognize the importance of developing personal and social skills together with other content areas which might be a facilitating scafold for the entrance in the following cycle. This study, using a mixed methodology, included semi-structured interviews to preschool educators (eight interviewees), and questionnaires to 1st cyle teachers (fourty nine) and parents (seventy-eight) of four schools in a region of inner Portugal, the district of Beja. The research followed the ethical norms for research in the social sciences, namely informed consent by participants and preservation of anonymity. Data gathering instruments were approved by the Ministry of Education as well as by the pedagogical councils and directors of the four school clusters involved. The main results show that all the preschool educators surveyed base their curriculum building process on the CGPE, some referring to this document as their «Bible» and also as the foundation of their planning and assessment practices. However important the document is deemed, it is not the sole foundation for their curricular decision-making, as children themselves and schools’ other internal documents and projects are also taken into account. Although primary school teachers know about the existence of the CGPE, they don’t demonstrate a broad understanding about its content, although they identify practices of coordination with preschool educators to prepare the students’ transition between educational cycles. They also recognize that the work carried out in preschool aims to facilitate future le","PeriodicalId":345570,"journal":{"name":"EDULEARN20 Proceedings","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126900155","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}

Equipped with the relic “Panagia Paramythea Code”, an old map, you are invited to dress as a pilgrim, explore the monastery and communicate with virtual monks and workers in a quest to uncover the hidden treasure. To reach your goal, you are invited to explore four cardinal virtues; love, faith, patience and repentance through the lives of respective saints. In the process you will encounter unanticipated expressions of applied spirituality to reach your goal. In this paper we present the instructional design process of an interactive serious game in a 3D virtual reality environment developed for religious education. Its purpose is to help participants experience and learn about essential aspects of the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith and spirituality in an entertaining and engaging way that increases their curiosity. There have been calls for a paradigm shift in religious education from a closed, narrow, and unreflective practice pattern towards new, open, progressive approaches that take modern educational methods into account. Eastern Orthodox Christian theology addresses not just the mind but also the heart or nous, the existential centre of man. According to the Orthodox spirituality, the way humans can approach, know and meet God is only through personal experience. This makes immersive experiential learning a suitable medium for Orthodox Christian religious education. In the design of the game we took into account the fact that the structure of the game itself carries a fundamental ethical message and so it should reflect the values that are to be demonstrated in the game. Moreover, in this paper we describe how we addressed the main challenge of this project; the creative alignment synthesis required during the game design process. More specific, the learning experience merges and aligns harmonically multiple layers: philosophical theological (ethical values, behavior paradigms), pedagogical instructional, game mechanics, dynamics and aesthetics in a 3D virtual immersive environment.","PeriodicalId":345570,"journal":{"name":"EDULEARN20 Proceedings","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121760436","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}
