How to improve teacher’s awareness in blended learning ?

Contextual LA Appsgraasp.eu

Contextual AppsWe call the apps “contextual” since such apps can be embedded into the context where the students and the teacher work, understand the context and visualise the data present in this specific context

Teacher Awareness NeedsResults from survey of 32 teachers

Evaluation:

Interview with teachers before the class to assess relevance

Attending the class using the apps, two case studies

Interview with teachers after the class to get feedback

MethodologyFirst

Case Studies

Second Interview

First Interview

Relevance of the Apps

Case Study 1 90 minutes

1 teacher T111 students

Case Study 2 90 minutes

1 teacher T2 17 students

Teachers’ FeedbackBoth T1 and T2 agreed on the usefulness of the apps for awareness of the learning progress for teachers and students

The Time Spent app was not seen as significantly useful for awareness. However, both teachers agreed that it could be relevant for better understanding the students’ progress and reflection

Real-time awareness tools were well received by the teachers both in terms of usability and applicability. Both T1 and T2 stated that the tools helped them to monitor the progress of the students in the classroom but they could be also useful in order to have evidence of the work done at home

Second Interview

During the evaluation the students expressed awareness needs as well

The main benefit was to have a reference about the progress. The main disadvantages identified by the students were: 1) the distraction the apps may cause 2) the stress caused by being compared among

themselves

Students’ FeedbackSecond Interview

Students did not pose any concern about the teacher accessing the information
