Numerous studies show methodologies and models for updating curricula. However, such proposals are ossified, since, in the majority, they do not allow flexibility and nor attend to the local characteristics in terms of human resources and local productive arrangement. Our proposal presents a novel IoT curriculum and enable the inclusion of the area to be applied in an easy and significant way to the student, emphasizing interdisciplinarity. The proposed reference curriculum consists of disciplines divided into four major groups: specific group, common group, applied group, and grouping group. In this way, basic disciplines can be complemented with the application area through project disciplines and final works. Besides, disciplines common to all courses reinforce equally important transversal aspects. This proposal for a reference curriculum allows higher education institutions to adapt to a new technology that tends to become dominant in a flexible way, also allowing the provision of a course strongly linked to local or regional potentialities.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"3403-3410"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42932890","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}

In Saudi Arabia, Twitter users occupy the second place worldwide. The vast majority of educators and learners students, providers, and educational organizations utilize Twitter, for facilitator-learner interactions and lifelong learning experiences. In the past few years, researchers have significantly studied online social networking sites to examine the relationship between educational outcomes and social networking. However, there is little research exploring integration of microblogging tool, Twitter, into adult and continuing education as well as facilitating for adult learners how to find the right twitter accounts based on learning outcomes. In addition, there is too much shared public and educational information, which is foolproof to spread unrelated content. Subsequently, this counterproductive and prevent adult learners from achieving the learning outcomes. This work purposes to develop a model that could classify Arabic tweets in adult educators' accounts into one of three types of learning outcomes: knowledge, skill, and affective in order to predict tweets belonging to each of these outcomes. Our results show the highest accuracy classification rates through applying support vector machine and random forest algorithms with above 0.75 for all learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"3375-3385"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43967252","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 process follows the author’s preferred style of action-research based on a form of illuminative evaluation and an adaptation/application of the SPARE ‘wheel’ model initially developed by [1]. Using the impact measure of effect size, ‘Very High’ impact (equivalent to over a whole grade extra growth) is shown for 2016 through to 2018 in the secondary progress measure of Progress 8 (P8). ‘Moderate’ to ‘High’ impact (equivalent to 0.5 – 0.6 of a grade extra growth at GCSE) is shown for 2016 through to 2018 in the primary progress measures relating to reading, writing and mathematics. Marked improvement is evident in all progress measures as schools move to successful accreditation and specific case studies are used to firmly support this approach for enhancing the progress and achievement of all pupils regardless of advantage or disadvantage. Future recommendations for further developments and research are provided, including international applications.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48170329","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}

{"title":"Integrating Learning Technologies (Mobile Devices) into the Teaching and Learning of English Language in Higher Institutions in Nigeria","authors":"Christiana Ijeoma Ajaps","doi":"10.20533/licej.2040.2589.2020.0446","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.20533/licej.2040.2589.2020.0446","url":null,"abstract":"Modern technologies have the capacity for adaption in teaching/learning and research at different levels of education. ICT provides a medium through which a learner can choose what, where and how to learn in a globalized world. Digital leaning is already making a lot of impact in the western world. However, ICT potentialities is yet to be fully explored in Nigeria due to some misconceptions. Teachers, scholars and researchers in Nigeria have bemoaned the perceived negative influence of GSM phones (an offshoot of ICT) on teaching and learning in our schools. They have therefore identified and passionately discussed a number of these negative influences and their effects on our education system. The focus of this paper, however, is to make a case for the incorporation and use of mobile devices in the classrooms in higher institutions despite the identified negative effects. The paper outlines and discusses some of the advantages of these technological inventions to education especially, the teaching and learning of the English language, as seen by scholars in other parts of the world. From this author’s classroom experience too, GSM has been found to aid the teaching and learning process. Since each learner has peculiar cognitive and personality traits, no one teaching method will be suitable for all students. The use of mobile devices provides avenues for students to select materials and techniques from various sources from the internet. Hence, ICT provides modern techniques applied to diversify teaching/learning styles and meet with individual needs. The paper, therefore, submits that teachers and educators should incorporate the use of GSM phones into the English language teaching and learning process in higher institutions so as to achieve maximum teaching-learning results. While enjoining them to continually educate their students on its salutary use and the need to play down on the negative aspect of its use. Based on the conclusion above, some recommendations were made, among which are that English language teachers should be encouraged to become ICT compliance; government should made sufficient funds available to ensure that ICT equipment are provided for schools, as well as subsidize internet data charges.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"3396-3402"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45213880","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 program is characterised with its informal and collaborative structure that involves a variety of families and their preschool and early primary school children who experienced a series of activities for developing the understanding in certain astronomical concepts in an easy and digestible way. The challenge has been to understand the appropriation of learning dealing with the complexity of astronomical concepts within a group of “just plain folks” who lack astronomy knowledge. This study sets to explore the actual processes that make learning informally but collaboratively a powerful tool for children and parents. While visual imagery, storytelling and other educational activities were used in the program to facilitate the participants’ understanding in the abstract astronomy concepts, “Butterfly learning” was initiated from the interviews with the parents and the observations on the learning activities as a method for promoting participants’ motivation and understanding. “Butterfly learning” is a metaphor that represents learners gaining knowledge and understanding in a pattern of “a small step in each time of learning” informally, just like a butterfly sourcing nutrition in natural environment bit by bit randomly. This approach allows the participants to acquire information repeatedly at their own pace, which preceded their development of understanding in complexity as a joyful journey. Butterfly learning appears to play a pivotal role in both children's behaviour and learning method.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"3367-3374"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45014812","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}
