Accordingly, teaching these concepts in schools is becoming increasingly relevant. An illustrative and practical way to do this is by using haptic examples of these very same concepts in form of educational robots. This offers the benefit of motivating and playful access to the field for young students. However, to integrate the robots productively into Computer Science lessons, engaging teaching units are essential. To support the design of those teaching units, we surveyed students and teachers to evaluate their preferences regarding the use of robots in Computer Science lessons. The survey had 95 participants, 6 teachers, and 86 students, from 6 different classes of 4 different schools. Using the results of this survey, we further designed, conducted, and evaluated a teaching sequence for a German 6 th -grade Computer Science course. As a robot, we used the educational kit LEGO MINDSTORMS (Model 51515) alongside Apple iPads. The course consisted of 30 students, 15 of them male and 15 female, aged between 11 and 13. During the sequence, we observed the students’ motivation and their progress in learning computer programming concepts. We also examined the results of their exercises. We found that the robots positively impacted the students’ motivation and learning process. In this paper, we present both the survey and the teaching unit, as well as their respective results.","PeriodicalId":413479,"journal":{"name":"ECE Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127242236","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}

Traditional education has focused predominantly on progressing the student majority within a class. However, during the pandemic many disparities have been highlighted including marginalising students with learning difficulties, disabilities, and gifted students. This study aims to understand educational differences between students in higher education during the covid-19 pandemic and how education systems have attempted to reduce inequalities. There is an endeavour to progress educational systems towards equality with a focus on gifted education, special education, learning difficulties and disabilities. A framework is devised to ensure students receive the appropriate learning pedagogies to progress towards their educational endeavours within the new normal. A systematic review has been implemented in this study using a well-planned literature search. Results have identified the following factors which are discussed within this study: E-learning, artificial intelligence (AI), importance of communication and appropriate support. This study has deduced that gifted students benefit the most from e-learning with embedded AI software, highlighting knowledge gaps and providing student flexibility to acquire education. In comparison students with learning difficulties, disabilities and in need of special education require a combination of e-learning and physical teaching assistance with frequent communication. Educators with specialised skills are required to imparted knowledge through empathy and understanding of the student as a unique individual, to increase student confidence and progress education in the new normal world.","PeriodicalId":413479,"journal":{"name":"ECE Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131966858","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 makes initial computer science acquiring more difficult for non-native English students, while it is facilitated for students of higher English proficiency. This is sort of a transfer from language proficiency to computer science which is similar to the known concept of transfer from one language to another in new language acquisition. The paper presents a test for assessing this transfer by investigating students' understanding of selected terms in both technical and non-technical contexts. The terms were selected to represent computer science sub-concepts as defined in the literature; hence, students’ understanding of these terms in everyday non-technical uses, measures potential students’ understanding of these same terms in computer science technical uses. The test was applied on Arabic speaking students of different English proficiency and different maturity levels. It was found that the intuitive understanding of the terms in computer science improves with improved English, but no impact of maturity was found. Computer science students’ records revealed an association between computer science learning and English level which is attributed partially to this transfer.","PeriodicalId":413479,"journal":{"name":"ECE Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127988717","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}

Being an agent of change in the 21 st century, a time characterised by environmental and economic havoc, entails a new understanding of citizenship. An increasing number of university courses are being designed to make the young generation more aware of their potential to become civically engaged in social matters. This study employs a qualitative case study which explores changing perspectives of undergraduate students on global citizenship and how they define their role as agents of social change and progress. The authors draw attention to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) to demonstrate how the notion of youth agency is redefined through educational practices and new approaches to learning in higher education. Introducing undergraduate students to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) and encouraging them to lead discussions and propose solutions about the existent problems of their country are among the main objectives of the course. The fundamental value of global citizenship becomes more clear when its role in redefining youth agency is considered.","PeriodicalId":413479,"journal":{"name":"ECE Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131245102","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}

That aim is pursued to address the lack of abundancy of that line of research in Egypt, and particularly targeting adult L2 writers. Consequently, the study is guided by four research questions enquiring about general perceptions of PF versus TF, how PF and TF prioritize feedback on writing features differently, the perceptions of PF and TF uptake, and differences between genders in their perception of PF and TF. This study adopted mixed methods approach consisting of a questionnaire, multiple interviews, and writing samples. The total number of participants is 88, and 16 writing samples. The data analysis presents a considerable awareness of the importance of PF in comparison to TF. L2 writers understand the value, use and benefit from PF, but not at the same extent of using TF. Two thirds of the adult L2 writers participating in this study support the importance of training the peer on giving effective writing feedback. Furthermore, the data shows that the peer prioritizes almost the same writing features that the teacher does in their feedback. As for the perceptions of PF and TF uptake, L2 writers in Egypt believe, react, and feel motivated towards PF and TF in roughly the same way. Finally, the investigation of gender differences and the effect of that on the perceptions of PF and TF yield no significant differences quantitatively.","PeriodicalId":413479,"journal":{"name":"ECE Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131642079","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 date, however, far too scant attention has been paid to its efficacy in English grammar learning in China. Therefore, the principal objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of DGBL on Chinese secondary school students’ academic performance in English Grammar study. This research adopted a quasi-experimental design, and the samples consisted of 98 students from two first-grade classes at a public high school in Guangzhou. They were divided into an experimental group (n=49) and a control group (n=49), which received the DGBL and non-DGBL methods, respectively. As a formative assessment approach in the lecture, this research utilized Wordwall.net, a unique digital game-based online assessment instrument. The quantitative data was collected and compared in both groups. The results revealed significant statistical differences between the two groups, suggesting that DGBL was an efficacious tool for enhancing Chinese high school students’ academic performance in grammar learning. The presented findings can contribute to the further development of DGBL and provide instructional implications for grammar learning.","PeriodicalId":413479,"journal":{"name":"ECE Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123437586","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}

Some of these were disrupted by the Covid pandemic. A positive outcome has been moving beyond Emergency Remote Teaching to innovative pedagogical alternatives that continue to be effective as lecturers and academic developers reenvisage teaching interventions past the pandemic era. A WhatsApp Writing intervention has provided a new way for research writers to make progress on their writing. This study describes and reports on a 10-day WhatsApp writing course that is designed to connect group members, increase accountability, address obstacles to writing and develop the identity of the writer. The format addresses issues of access and zoom fatigue. The theoretical basis of the design draws from mindfulness, coaching and research into academic writing. The course was run for between 10 and 40 participants in 16 separate courses. Participants include supervisors, postgraduate students, as well as creative writers across South Africa and internationally. I analyse and share some observations from participants’ contributions on what makes writing difficult, their writing blocks, as well as their perceptions (and changing perceptions) of themselves as writers. Personal perspectives from writers show up three main common concerns of lack of confidence, distractions, and isolation. The posts also highlight the individual sense writers have of their identity. The course format could serve as a model for similar curricula design interventions.","PeriodicalId":413479,"journal":{"name":"ECE Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121622799","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}
