It is the management logic known as New Public Management (NPM). But the NPM in contemporary academia is not understood without attending to the emergence of digital management devices and platforms (DMDs). It is the combination of both events that we have called the digital turn in university management. The implementation of DMDs is not a homogeneous and fully satisfactory process but is loaded with attempts, fails, and failures that need the voice of academics to be understood in its extension. This article presents the results of 40 interviews with academics about their experience and engagement with DMDs. The results point to the existence of at least three repertoires: 1) device-lover, 2) functional- pragmatic and 3) oppositionist-rejector. Together, these results point out that, on one hand, both the experience and the identity of the academic; and on the other hand, the relationship with the institutional context; both are the key to the successful implementation of the DMDs.","PeriodicalId":44576,"journal":{"name":"Digital Education Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"64-78"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41713229","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}

Finding revealed significant correlations between computer attitudes, computer anxiety and computer self-efficacy. Gender differences in attitude toward computer, computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety among pre-service STM teachers were significant. Affective component, perceived control component, and perceived usefulness component, behavioural intention component, gender, and computer anxiety made statistically significant contributions to the variance in pre-service STM teachers’ computer self-efficacy. The study recommended among others that academic institutions should pay more attention to this computer anxiety and adopt proper ways of reducing the computer anxiety, so that positive e-learning experiences can be created for pre-service STM teachers.","PeriodicalId":44576,"journal":{"name":"Digital Education Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"51-67"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46750759","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 is what is being called transmedia, and it is related to the new concepts of media convergence and participatory culture. All this new mediatic and cultural movement, of course, begins to have an echo in the educational world. However, what do we mean by this concept from an educational perspective? Through a systematic literature review, we analyse this transmedia concept in three meanings: transmedia as ability or literacy necessary to actively evolve in this movement of participatory culture; transmedia as the product resulting from that sequential jump between different analogical and digital media, conveyed by a narrative; and, lastly, transmedia as a didactic strategy that explores that narrative that is developed in different means to achieve concrete didactic objectives.","PeriodicalId":44576,"journal":{"name":"Digital Education Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"207-222"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46285124","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}

Este estudio busca contrastar el discurso y la practica del alumnado y del profesorado al buscar, evaluar y seleccionar informacion digital en un aula de secundaria. Se ha utilizado una triangulacion de datos multifuente (grupos de discusion, registro de clases, autoconfontacion). Los resultados senalan que el alumnado muestra interes por la tarea, si bien su percepcion se ve condiciona por los adultos. Los estudiantes tienen dificultades en la interpretacion de videos y graficos y le dan poco valor a la autoria del texto. Por otro lado, los docentes ven cuestionado su rol y aunque son conscientes de las carencias del alumnado se muestran reticentes a trabajarlas en el aula. Las conclusiones apuntan que es necesaria una didactica de la alfabetizacion informacional que parta de las practicas reales e intereses del alumnado.
