• Media comparison studies (NSD)(Kozma,Clark)

• Descriptive studies (not transferable)

• Media studies (Salomon)

• Primarily quantitative analysis, some statistically flawed (not random assignment, etc.)

Social Constructivism•Cultural mediation (Vygotsky) “Any

higher mental function was social at some point

before becoming truly mental”

•Self Efficacy (Bandura) “Accomplishment is socially judged by ill defined criteria so that one has to rely on others to find out how one is doing”

•Social presence (Short et al.) “The degree to which people feel connected to each other......”

•Interaction (Moore, Muirhead) “...between learners, learner-teacher, learner-content, learner-interface...”

Page 11: Current Research in ICT for Education Dr. Marina Stock McIsaac Professor Emerita, ASU DDTE, Universidade de Aveiro, February, 2007.

Research Studies

• Interaction (Hillman, et al.,McIsaac &Gunawardena, Vrasidas, Vrasidas&McIsaac)

• improving interaction online increased motivation and attitude

•Social Presence (Tu, Tu & McIsaac)

•3 dimensions were predictors: interactivity, communication, context

Distributed Cognition

“people think in conjunction and partnership with others and with the help of culturally provided tools and

implements” (Salomon, 1993, p. xiii).

Page 14: Current Research in ICT for Education Dr. Marina Stock McIsaac Professor Emerita, ASU DDTE, Universidade de Aveiro, February, 2007.

Situated Learning

“Situated cognition has emerged as a powerful perspective in providing meaningful learning and promoting the transfer of knowledge to real-life

situations.” Choi & Hannafin

Page 15: Current Research in ICT for Education Dr. Marina Stock McIsaac Professor Emerita, ASU DDTE, Universidade de Aveiro, February, 2007.

Research Studies•Distributed cognition (Salomon) “People

think in partnership with others and with the help of tools...”

•material distribution (Pea & Lave) “These tools literally carry intelligence in them...”

•social distribution (Cole & Engestrom) “Cognitive processing is not an individual matter; cognitive processes are distributed among teacher, pupil, others...”

•Situated Cognition (Brighton) “..examines reasoning through situated learning and cultural perspectives”

Communities of Learning

•CSCL-Computer-supported communities of learning

•Networked CoP (communities of practice)

•Scaffolding

Page 18: Current Research in ICT for Education Dr. Marina Stock McIsaac Professor Emerita, ASU DDTE, Universidade de Aveiro, February, 2007.

Research Studies•CSCL (Hakkarainen, Collis)

elementary students, business

•Networked CoP (Xu) social navigation to locate information

•Scaffolding (Lim, McLoughlin) supported learners in web inquiry

Web2.0 Environments

•Open Source software (OSS)...

•Knowledge construction...Tappedin

•User generated content...Wikis

•Reflection of conscious thought...Blogs

•Student centered learning...Podcasts

•Virtual learning spaces... 2nd Life

Page 22: Current Research in ICT for Education Dr. Marina Stock McIsaac Professor Emerita, ASU DDTE, Universidade de Aveiro, February, 2007.

Shift in pedagogies•From lecture to conversation

•From information to knowledge building

•From memorizing to internalizing, reflecting

•From teacher-centered to learner-centered

•From individual to collaborative knowledge

Page 23: Current Research in ICT for Education Dr. Marina Stock McIsaac Professor Emerita, ASU DDTE, Universidade de Aveiro, February, 2007.

Shift in teaching

•Facilitate independent learning

• Integrate learning tools into instruction

•Synthesize and communicate concepts

•Teach students to gather information

•Demonstrate “best technology practices”

•Collaborate in knowledge networks
