Care-educational technologies: an emerging concept of the praxis of nurses in a hospital context
Authors: Cléton Salbego, Elisabeta Albertina Nietsche, Elizabeth Teixeira, Nara Marilene Oliveira Girardon-Perlini, C. Wild, Silomar Ilha
Published in: Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (2018-01-01)

OBJECTIVE: to know the praxis of nurses in the hospital context and, from this, to define a concept about Care-Educational Technologies. METHOD: qualitative, exploratory-descriptive research, developed in a university hospital in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, with 21 nurses (non-probabilistic sampling), through non-participant observation and semi-structured interview, conducted from March to December 2015. Records were analyzed through content analysis. RESULTS: the results showed that in the context of nurses' work, it is possible to deduce care-educational possibilities, based on the person-person, person-tool and/or person-universe relationship. The concept was defined based on the intertwining of caring-training and training-caring for oneself and other people. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the reflections point to the need to develop or strengthen the autonomy of those involved in the health-disease process. This is based on the empowerment of people under their lives' conditions, in their multidimensionality, within human praxis.
Integration of educational technology during the Covid-19 pandemic: An analysis of teacher and student receptions
Authors: Athanasios Christopoulos, Pieter Sprangers
Published in: Cogent Education (2021-01-01)

This study analyzes the integration of an educational technology platform and relates the difficulties faced amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Initially, we sought to identify the chief barriers educators face when considering the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Factors influencing primary and secondary education teachers’ (n = 15) and students’ (n = 335) perspectives on ICT integration for mathematics instruction were identified and analyzed from the perspective of different contexts (school vs home) and circumstances (in-person vs remote learning). Although we acknowledge the need for immediate decisions by educational stakeholders to facilitate online learning, our findings indicate the necessity of (a) careful examination of the features of potential platforms or tools and (b) a trial of such features prior to integration within an educational system. From an instructional design perspective, educational technologists should pay special attention to the degree of gamification, especially beyond the primary school level, as it may negatively impact incentives for student interaction and engagement. Where possible, the integration of technology should be driven by pedagogical goals and not technological pressures.
The racializing forces of/in AI educational technologies
Authors: Ezekiel Dixon‐Román, T. Philip Nichols, Ama Nyame-Mensah
Published in: Learning Media and Technology (2019-09-16)

In this article, we examine the sociopolitical implications of AI technologies as they are integrated into writing instruction and assessment. Drawing from new materialist and Black feminist thought, we consider how learning analytics platforms for writing are animated by and through entanglements of algorithmic reasoning, state standards and assessments, embodied literacy practices, and sociopolitical relations. We do a close reading of research and development documents associated with Essay Helper, a machine learning platform that provides formative feedback on student writing based on standards-aligned rubrics and training data. In particular, we consider the performative acts of the algorithm in the Essay Helper platform – both in the ways that reconstitutes material-discursive relations of difference, and its implications for transactions of teaching and learning. We argue that, through these processes, the algorithms function as racializing assemblages, and conclude by suggesting pathways toward alternative futures that reconfigure the sociopolitical relations the platform inherits.

Two recent publications report the emerging technologies that are likely to have a significant impact on learning
Educational technology for teaching and learning
Authors: Alejandra Maria Cruz
Published in: Cuadernos de Educación y Desarrollo (2013-01-01)

Educational Technology in Teaching and Learning is an important and challenging aspect in higher education. The first theories on human behavior as behavior affected by technology are discussed in this essay. These learning theories are behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. They provide a pedagogical and/or andragogical basis for understanding how students learn. Also, some of the approaches to teaching with technology, use of the best technological tools and appropriate type of instruction to enhance learning under Bloom's taxonomy are included. A general perspective is given of the advantages and disadvantages that technology offers for education.

Robinson, University of Texas and Gregory Schraw, University of Nevada at Las Vegas Founding Editor James M. Royer, University of Massachusetts The field of educational technology is exploding in terms of innovations being developed daily. Most of these innovations hold fascinating promise but enjoy almost no empirical support. There are educational researchers who have both developed innovations and tested their potential empirically. This book will capture the latest and most promising innovations from the leading educational technologists in the world, including animations, simulations, visualizations, navigation, manipulatives, pedagogical agents, and assessment. This book is appropriate for university courses in educational technology for those wishing to showcase the latest innovations that are accompanied by empirical support.
Development of an appearance validity instrument for educational technology in health
Authors: Ana Célia Caetano de Souza, Thereza Maria Magalhães Moreira, José Wicto Pereira Borges
Published in: Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (2020-01-01)

OBJECTIVES: to develop and evaluate the convergence of the instrument for the appearance validity of educational technologies in health. METHODS: methodological study conducted in two steps. In step 1, the instrument items were developed, with subsequent content validity by nine specialists in the development of educational technologies in health. In step 2, the convergent validity between another instrument and the appearance instrument was performed. Correlation results above r> 0.3 and p <0.05 were considered as plausible convergent validity. RESULTS: the ten items of the initial version of the appearance instrument were submitted to content validity that resulted in a final version with 12 items (Content Validity Index = 0.93). The correlation indexes were strong with the objective and appearance domains; moderate with motivation, organization and total; and weak with writing style. CONCLUSIONS: the appearance instrument demonstrated content validity and convergent validity, in addition to a strong correlation with the other instrument.
What in the world is educational technology? Rethinking the field from the perspective of the philosophy of technology
Authors: An Tao, Martin Oliver
Published in: Learning Media and Technology (2020-08-24)

Technology has been an important influence on the development of education. However, very little research in Educational Technology considers this history, and even less questions it. In this paper, we argue that our understanding of educational technology should be informed by the philosophy of technology – a field that has attempted to explore what these historical developments mean. This paper focuses on the ontological turn in philosophy and the technological thought of Marx and Heidegger. This is used to propose a foundation that can help researchers rethink educational technology, expanding research to account for human-education, human-technology and education-technology relations. It is proposed that human-education relationships should make students ‘become what they are’, highlighting their subjectivity rather than concentrating on information. Human-technology relationships can change the focus of design practice, so that technology is not merely seen as an efficient tool, but something ‘handy’ for peoples’ educational needs. Education-technology relationships explain how technology can shape education, and re-introduces the idea of ‘techne’ as something to be valued in education.
Engaging students in higher education with educational technology
Authors: Mikkel Godsk, Karen Louise Møller
Published in: Education and Information Technologies (2024-08-06)

Abstract There is a widespread agenda of improving teaching and learning in higher education by engaging students with educational technology. Based on a large-scale literature review, the article presents 61 specific, research-based recommendations for realising the engagement potential of eight types of educational technologies in higher education. These recommendations can be used, for example, by educators to incorporate specific, available educational technologies into their teaching or as an educational development method to enhance particular forms of student engagement. Based on the evidence, the article points out that some educational technologies have a more documented and sometimes also broader potential to engage the students behaviourally, affectively, and/or cognitively than others and that this likely is related to the extent the technology supports structure, active learning, communication, interaction, and activities on the higher levels on the learning taxonomies.
Educational Technology Research Patterns in the Realm of the Digital Knowledge Age
Authors: Aras Bozkurt
Published in: Journal of Interactive Media in Education (2020-09-17)

Educational technology (EdTech) is a dynamic, evolving field and as such, in identifying and mapping research patterns in this field, a systematic approach is required. Starting from when the World Wide Web became publicly available, this study conducts a systematic review of educational technology research patterns. The review showed that after 1993, there was a sudden increase in the number of educational technology publications, and that in terms of subject areas, social sciences dominate the field, which suggests that there is a need for more interdisciplinary research. Regarding the geographical distribution of the research, the review found that most of the contributions come from the same developed countries. The following themes from over the course of almost three decades were identified: 1993–1999 <em>multimedia learning and instructional design</em>; 2000–2004 <em>convergence of educational technology, distance education and online learning environments, and educational technology integration in traditional learning settings</em>; 2005–2009 <em>revising curriculum for educational technology, educational technology in higher education and distance education, and the bottleneck of the significant differences in educational technology research</em>; 2010–2014 <em>online learning and higher education, integration of ICT and full potential of educational technology</em>; and 2015–2019 <em>data-driven, smart educational technology, big data, and learning analytics</em>. While critical views are increasing, this study also observed that some discourse, such as arguments that EdTech will change education and replace teachers, are constantly articulated throughout the literature.
The impact of adopting AI educational technologies on projected course satisfaction in university students
Authors: Paul Rodway, Astrid Schepman
Published in: Computers and Education Artificial Intelligence (2023-01-01)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for education are being developed at an increasing pace. It seems reasonable to assume that these applications would enhance student experiences and course satisfaction, and that therefore educational institutions should invest in these technologies to enhance their student offer. However, this should be tested empirically. In the current study a gender-balanced sample of 302 UK students rated course satisfaction, completed the General Attitudes towards AI Scale (GAAIS), comfortableness with AI educational applications, and course satisfaction if AI educational applications were adopted. Although students were, on average, moderately comfortable with AI educational applications, course satisfaction dropped in response to their hypothetical adoption. AI applications that assigned summative grades or that offered wellbeing support gave rise to the highest levels of discomfort. Students were more comfortable with career support, formative course support, and administrative support. Positive and Negative AI attitudes predicted the satisfaction difference, with mediation via comfortableness with applications. We recommend that Higher Education Institutions exercise caution before making major investments in AI educational applications.
Educational Technology: The Influence of Theory
Authors: Kim Issroff, Eileen Scanlon
Published in: Journal of Interactive Media in Education (2002-07-25)

<div class="abstract_container"><strong>Abstract:</strong> In this paper we explore the role of theories in current practice in educational technology. We review a range of writings from the past 30 years on the nature of learning technology research. We discuss influences on learning technologies from the related fields of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). We identify two groups of theories which have been used. The first group are related to principled decisions about the design of learning materials. The second group influence the ways in which we frame our research on learning. Research in learning technologies in the future will need to draw on both groups of theories. In this paper, we draw on our own experiences as educational technologists and the purpose of the paper is to encourage other educational technologists to join with us in reflecting on their own use of theories.</div> <p class="editors_container"><strong>Editors:</strong> <a href="http://www.ucl.ac.uk/epd/profiles/mo.html" target="xref">Martin Oliver</a> (UC London, UK) <p class="reviewers_container"><strong>Reviewers:</strong> Margaret Farren (Dublin City U.), Ann Jones (Open U.)

Authors: C. Wild, Elisabeta Albertina Nietsche, Cléton Salbego, Elizabeth Teixeira, Natalia Barrionuevo Fávero
Published in: Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (2019-09-14)

OBJECTIVE: to validate a booklet on dengue prevention in order to make it an educational technology to be used with the population. METHOD: methodological study, carried out with two groups of judges specialized in health and other areas. For data analysis, the calculation of Content Validity Index was carried out. RESULTS: the booklet, in general, was considered valid by the expert judges, since it obtained an overall CVI of 70%. However, it has undergone a textual and aesthetic re-elaboration. The changes were based on the substitution of expressions, phrases, information additions and language adequacy. The illustrations were redone, adding clarity, expressiveness, movement, interaction and contextualization. CONCLUSION: the booklet is valid to be used for the population, with the purpose of informing, in a playful way, the forms of prevention and combat to mosquito transmitting dengue.
The Impact of Educational Technologies in Higher Education
Authors: Goretti Cabaleiro, Carolina Vera
Published in: GiST Education and Learning Research Journal (2020-06-11)

The formation of human capital is key to countries’ social, cultural and economic development. The current literature pays considerable attention to the ever-increasing proliferation of technology in the careers of college and graduate school. While the presence of educational technology in higher education offers multiple benefits, its implementation also presents challenges. The literature has considered multiple tools for improving learning processes. The results of such tools vary and are difficult to measure in terms of quality. In this document, we analyze the issues surrounding educational technology in higher education.
Cruel optimism in edtech: when the digital data practices of educational technology providers inadvertently hinder educational equity
Authors: Felicitas Macgilchrist
Published in: Learning Media and Technology (2018-12-17)

As digital data become increasingly central to education, hopes for educational equity are pinned more strongly on educational technology providers. This paper examines the data practices of edtech providers who are not simply making token gestures towards justice and equality. Drawing on ethnographic interviews and Berlant’s notion of cruel optimism, it presents three data stories. The paper suggests that datafication in education provides a showcase of cruel optimism, i.e., when the object of desire is blocking one’s flourishing. The conclusion considers the constitutive paradoxes of datafied education, and implications for the current phase of edu-technical transformation.
Educational Technology in Turkey: Past, Present and Future
Authors: Buket Akkoyunlu
Published in: Educational Media International (2002-01-01)

This paper explains the past, discusses the present and makes projections for the future of educational technology in Turkey. Technology has an important role in enhancing educational progress. Therefore, educators need to adapt technology within their field of study. Educational materials such as textbooks, films, radio, television, overhead projectors, video recorders and, of course, computers enrich learning environments in schools. Educational materials motivate students and induce them to study subject matter while providing opportunities for students to access and evaluate information. In Turkey, the use of educational technology in schools has been taken very seriously by the Ministry of National Education since the 1930s. Universities and other institutions are also interested in research and application of educational technology to their own settings. La Technologie de l'Education en Turquie: Passé, Présent et Avenir. Cet article explique le passé et le présent et propose des projections dans l'avenir pour la technologie de l'éducation en Turquie. La technologie joue un rÔle important pour favoriser le progrès en éducation. Aussi les enseignants doivent l'adapter dans leur discipline. Les moyens d'enseignement tels que les livres, les films, la radio, la télévision, les rétroprojecteurs et enfin les ordinateurs enrichissent l'environnement éducatif des écoles. Les moyens d'enseignement motivent les élèves et les incitent À étudier les sujets en fournissant l'occasion pour ceux-ci y avoir accès et d'évaluer l'information en Turquie, l'utilisation de la technologie de l'éducation dans les écoles a été prise très au sérieux par le Ministère de l'Education dès les années 30. Les universités et d'autres institutions s'intéressent aussi aux recherches et aux applications de la technolgie de l'éducation dans leurs domaines. Bildungstechnik in der Türkei: Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft. In diesem Beitrag wird die Entwicklung der Bildungstechnologie in der Türkei von der Vergangenheit bis zu Gegenwart dargestellt und ein Einblick in die Planung für die Zukunft gegeben. Technologie spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Verbesserung des Bildungsfortschritts. Daher müssen auch Erzieher sie innerhalb ihres Studiengebiets anwenden und anpassen. Bildungsmaterialien wie Lehrbücher, Filme, Rundfunk- und Fernsehsendungen, Einsatz von Overheadprojektoren, Videorekordern und natürlich jetzt auch von Computern bereichern die Lernangebote von Schulen. Bildungsmaterialien motivieren Lernende und bewirken dadurch, dass sie sich schon während des Zusammenstellens von Material durch Zugriff auf Informationen und deren Bewertung mit Inhalten befassen müssen.
What Do We Make of Design? Design as A Concept in Educational Technology
Authors: Kennon M. Smith, Elizabeth Boling
Published in: Educational Technology archive (2009-01-01)

The purpose of the research reported in this article is to identify, where possible, fundamental qualities which tend to be associated with idealized representations of the concept of design in educational technology. Accordingly, the authors ask, What are essential characteristics of design in educational technology, as represented in and promoted by the field's foundational literature? Constant comparative methods were employed in an analysis of almost two dozen texts (including official definitions, professional competencies, and introductory instructional design textbooks) to identify recurring characteristics of design as presented in those texts. Based on statements from this literature, the authors conclude that idealized representations of design in educational technology tend to characterize design as being oriented on process, conducted as systematic work, represented by models, based on theory, grounded in data, characterized by subdivision and specialization, and focused on problem-solving. Implications of these themes are explored, with discussion of the limitations imposed on the field by them.
Educational technology to facilitate medical studentsʼ learning
Authors: Thomas F. Moberg, Michael E. Whitcomb
Published in: Academic Medicine (1999-10-01)

The present article is the second in a series of Background Papers prepared as part of the AAMC's Medical School Objectives Project (MSOP). This report provides information about and insight into U.S. medical schools' use of educational technology in 1998. The authors define educational technology as the use of information technology to facilitate students' learning. They note that in the last two decades, a number of reports have recommended that medical schools incorporate educational technology into their teaching programs. To gain insight into the effects of these recommendations, particularly those of the ACME-TRI Report in 1992, the authors analyzed the responses of administrators at 125 U.S. medical schools to relevant items of the 1997-98 Liaison Committee on Medical Education Part II Medical School Questionnaire and students' responses to relevant items of the 1998 AAMC Medical Student Graduation Questionnaire. In addition, site visits were made to six medical schools believed to be among the more advanced ones in the use of educational technology, to see what was happening on the "cutting edge" of educational technology applications. Data from 20 other schools were also used. The authors found that by 1998, medical schools as a group had made limited progress in accomplishing the recommended educational technology goals, and that there was a much greater use of such technology in basic sciences courses than in clinical clerkships. However, great variability existed across schools in the use of such technology and in the administrative arrangements for it. They observe that the use of educational technology in medical schools is increasing rapidly, and recommend that each school develop a strategic approach that will guarantee that it can meet the future educational technology needs of its students.
