Given that students are learning in a hypertextual, digitalised and multimedia world, there is an ever-pressing need for assessment to be more authentic, engaging, and to develop transversal skills. This research analysed the challenges and opportunities of e-portfolios in secondary schools and universities. A review of the literature was undertaken in which studies conducted primarily across Europe and the US over the last 20 years were evaluated. Analysis identified several tensions relating to e-portfolio theory and praxis which were organised according to three main themes: the theory and research underpinning e-portfolios; the uses and purposes of e-portfolios; and the challenges and opportunities related to e-portfolio implementation. These tensions both deepen our understanding of e-portfolios as pedagogical tools as well as inform internationally relevant recommendations for implementation.","PeriodicalId":46992,"journal":{"name":"Technology Pedagogy and Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45205819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the authors focus on supporting one of the few urban-based Indigenous language schools in the United States because language revitalisation is critical for Native American communities. The authors explore the extent to which video conferencing and flipped classrooms support the development of a community of speakers. The study focuses on a single classroom of 16 students in first through third grade. The authors use a digital decolonisation framework focused on empowering local communities in conjunction with design-based research methodology to explore contextualised remote instruction solutions. They report on benefits for the development of a community of speakers from remote instruction that come with costs in reduced efficacy of language learning. Finally, they distil those results into preliminary design principles.","PeriodicalId":46992,"journal":{"name":"Technology Pedagogy and Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41675639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they can also be applied in the assessment and development of soft skills, which are increasingly key competencies for an individual in the twenty-first century. In this sense, this study proposes the adoption of the FLIGBY serious game in a higher education institution to evaluate and develop students’ skills in this field. The findings indicate a large correspondence between the soft skills fundamental to the twenty-first century and the assessment dimensions recorded by the game. Furthermore, the findings reveal that FLIGBY can be used primarily to develop skills in dimensions such as leadership, conflict management, diplomacy and emotional intelligence. These findings are relevant for higher education institutions that intend to include and foster the development of soft skills competencies in their curricula.","PeriodicalId":46992,"journal":{"name":"Technology Pedagogy and Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49163099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the content of local ICT policy plans that have been developed and how school leaders and teachers perceive their experience with ICT practices of rural schools. A mixed-method research approach was applied, involving 25 rural schools in Western China. Data was collected from multiple sources (policy documents, interviews with school leaders, focus groups with teachers, classroom observations, an ICT inventory and a teacher survey). The results revealed three types of challenges for ICT integration in rural schools: (1) guidance and learning opportunities as a political challenge, (2) ICT infrastructure and digital content as a technical challenge, and (3) teacher training and technical support as a human challenge. These challenges have implications for policymakers and practitioners when improving rural education through ICT integration.","PeriodicalId":46992,"journal":{"name":"Technology Pedagogy and Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41297981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants in the qualitative data collection were 39 students and faculty members. In addition, the participants were 300 graduate students from two large universities in northern Palestine. The findings of the study revealed that the proposed model helps in explaining factors affecting students’ mobile technology integration and exploring relationships between the factors.

The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between different types of sedentary behaviours, including technology use by device type and purpose, with academic achievement. School children (n = 934) in grades 5 through 12 at an Australian school with a ‘bring-your-own’ device policy completed a survey on sedentary behaviours and technology use. Mean total sedentary time was 12.9 (SD 8.7) hours per day, and mean screen use was 6.7 (SD 5.7) hours per day. Duration of technology use for nearly all devices and all purposes (except some school work) was negatively associated with academic performance, though the relationships were often non-linear.
