Contemporary Teacher Competencies Development: A Study of ICT Tools for Professional Activities in Russia and Spain

Tatiana Noskova , Olga Yakovleva , Sixto Cubo Delgado

Language: PL | Published: 01-02-2017 | Abstract | pp. 91-108

The paper examines the relations between teacher competencies and the specificity of the use of ICT tools in professional activities. The research was carried out within the frame of the IRNet project with the participation of two universities – the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia and the University of Extremadura, Spain. The results of the survey described give a general idea of various ICT tools use intensity in both countries. Overall, teachers take advantage of the electronic content capabilities for fostering students’ motivation. Teachers benefit from ICT tools’ efficiency and performance, and they use cloud technolo-gies for supporting networking and collaboration. Spanish teachers appear to be more active users of ICT tools. They apply LMS more intensively, together with own lectures recordings and foreign language e-resources. For facilitating students’ communication, they apply discussion forums and online lectures in-tensively. For management, the most popular tools are electronic organisers, criterial rubrics, and online polls. The choice of e-resources that teachers use is largely based on their communication preferences and ways to manage teaching; these e-resources aim at facilitating learners’ cognitive activities. As in the case of the active use of LMS, the electronic system induces the application of available communication means (e.g., forums, online lectures, etc.) together with the appro-priate management capabilities (e.g., electronic organisers, criterial rubrics, online polls, etc.). The results of the survey can help identify problem areas in teachers’ ICT competencies.

Analysis of the Needs of Social Workers Regarding Their Utilization of ICT in the System of Provision of Social Services (Kyiv City, Ukraine)

Tetiana Liakh , Tetiana Spirina , Alina Dulia , Ruslan Horchynskyi

Language: EN | Published: 29-12-2022 | Abstract | pp. 1-21

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is an important element in the work of social workers. Recent progress in ICT creates fundamentally new opportunities for social work in the provision of social services, including high-quality and timely responses to the requests of vulnerable population groups and persons in crises. In the information sector, work in the social sphere requires knowledge and skills in effective search, accumulation, processing, storage, presentation, and transmission of data using computers and computer networks. A social worker must be able to use information and computer technologies both for self-development in the professional sphere and for organizing their daily practical activities and solving socially significant problems. Therefore, it is necessary to form and develop ICT competence in professional activities for the quality provision of social services. The purpose of the study is to determine the ICT tools used in the practical work of social workers in the provision of social services, the scope of ICT application, and the analysis of the needs of social workers in Kyiv regarding the introduction of ICT into the system of providing social services.
An online survey of social workers of state and non-state organizations in Kyiv, which provide social services to vulnerable population groups and persons in crises, was conducted. The theoretical sampling method was used, which made it possible to formulate generalized recommendations regarding introducing ICT tools into the social services system. To determine the typical ICT tools and directions of ICT used in social work, an expert meeting was held with specialists of the Department of Information and Analytical Work of the Kyiv City Center of Social Services. Resource monitoring was used for the automated search of information on the Internet.
The authors of the article researched the information and communication technologies used by social service providers in their work and highlighted the prospects of ICT tools in state and non-state organizations. The ICT tools that are most often used in the provision of social services have been determined as a result of a survey of social service workers of state and non-state organizations in Kyiv. These tools are grouped into three main categories: communication channels, information dissemination channels, and methods of building online service provision processes. The key needs of social workers regarding the use of ICT tools in the process of providing social services and the most typical challenges in the implementation of these technologies are presented in the article. The authors identified the advantages of using ICT in the provision of social services and proved the effectiveness of the use of electronic services as a quick and effective tool in the process of meeting the requests of vulnerable population groups. The prospects for the use of ICT in the provision of social services are highlighted as well. It has been shown that the use of information and communication technologies in the provision of social services will positively affect the quality of the provision of social assistance and social services. The use of these technologies by social institutions makes it possible not only to effectively respond to the challenges of the military situation in Ukraine but also to promptly respond to the requests and needs of social service recipients and provide them with quality services. The authors presented the main ICTs that can be used by social workers when providing social services.

Izabela Maleńczyk , Bartłomiej Gładysz

Language: PL | Published: 01-02-2019 | Abstract | pp. 35-59

Academic e-learning is not a new phenomenon world-wide or in Poland. However, there are only a few publications examining academic e-learning in Poland from a wider perspective (i.e., country-wide, and not only from that of the specific course, faculty member, or university orientation), and none of them present complex analysis and diagnosis. The goal of this paper is to present an investigation of academic e-learning in Poland in both public and private universities. The sample of 139 universities was surveyed, and relations between variables – such as e-learning process characteristics and university characteristics – were analysed via hypotheses testing. Results of the survey may constitute a basis for comparison on a national and international level and offer strategic directions for university authorities.

Edyta M. Nieduziak

Language: EN | Published: 15-06-2022 | Abstract | pp. 1-35

The aim of the article is to present the results of research on distance education conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Silesian Voivodeship (Poland). The research focuses on the work of teachers in mainstream schools and those who work with students with special educational needs. The author presents: the difficulties indicated by teachers, the support they experience and the solutions they apply, especially to students with special educational needs. 
The study was based on a quantitative paradigm, using a diagnostic survey method and online survey questionnaires, sent to respondents in the LimeServey system. 958 teachers representing primary and secondary schools participated in the study.
The teachers indicated the difficulties of distance learning, such as the inability to monitor the progress of students, problems with the organization of group activities and the use of activating methods in teaching. They found the support in interpersonal contacts and self-study work; they rarely used the help of specialists. Half of the respondents worked with students with special educational needs. The largest group of such students were those with specific learning difficulties. Students with disabilities accounted for about 36% of those students identified by teachers. The teachers working with students with special educational needs experienced technical problems on the part of the student and psychophysical problems resulting from the specific condition of the student with special educational needs.
The results of the research and the recommendations were presented to the school authorities in order to improve the quality of distance education and raise the standards of teachers.

Language: EN | Published: 08-05-2024 | Abstract | pp. 1-15

The research presented in this article aimed to answer the following question: what is the role of social support and quality of family relationships in the context of depressive symptoms and abuse of the Internet during the COVID-19 pandemic and remote learning among adolescents?

The study was conducted among 619 adolescents aged 11-15. The survey questionnaire was constructed from standardised research tools. The study showed that 40.0% of the students had increased depressive symptoms. Heavy Internet use affected 16.0% of the respondents, including 9.2% of those who had aggravated symptoms of depression and addiction at the same time. At the same time, it was noted that girls, compared to boys, were more often found amongst adolescents experiencing symptoms of depression.Students belonging to the group with depressive and addictive symptoms experienced significantly more difficulties in their relationships with family members compared to the group without symptoms. Students showed less severity of depressive symptoms if they rated their relationship with their parents as positive. The results showed that the quality of family relationships is most important for the normal functioning of adolescents without depressive symptoms, also in a pandemic situation.

Reimagining Online Academic Conferences: The Promise of Social Virtual Reality for the Return of Co-Presence

Jan Waligórski , Zofia Samsel , Aleksandra Cząstkiewicz , Natalia Frys

Language: EN | Published: 29-12-2023 | Abstract | pp. 1-24

New technologies and societal shifts are profoundly influencing communication and conducting meetings. Over the past few years, the number of online conferences has increased. The body of literature indicates that online events allow for cost and social inequalities reduction. Despite this, they also present challenges in non-verbal communication, and diminish the sense of co-presence, thus affecting networking. Current academic discussions on the advantages and limitations of organizing remote academic conferences are typically confined to those conducted via video-conferencing systems. The aim of this research is to explore the potential of virtual reality (VR) technology and social VR platforms as alternative methods for organizing online academic conferences. The authors present the course of one of the first academic conference conducted entirely in social VR (Wirtualium 2.0), along with the survey outcomes regarding the potential of this environment for hosting academic conferences. Our findings indicate that, compared to video-conferencing systems, social VR platforms offer for most participants a higher sense of co-presence, facilitating networking and engagement in informal conversations. In this context, the identified limitations of social VR platforms encompass limited device accessibility, technical challenges, and impediments to efficient note-taking. Nonetheless, the majority of users consider social VR as suitable for hosting academic conferences. This suggests that even though academic events via social VR platforms encounter technical challenges and will not be the same as in-person conferences, they should exploit the potential of VR technology to achieve what's unattainable in a physical setting.

The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Didactics and Academic Research: A Pilot Study Among Academic Lecturers in Poland

Tomasz Kopczyński

Language: PL | Published: 30-12-2024 | Abstract | pp. 1-18

This article presents the results of a pilot study on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in didactics and academic work among academic lecturers in Poland. The main objective was to identify the level of experience, barriers, and training needs related to AI among university lecturers. The study was conducted using a survey method (CAWI) on a sample of 120 academic lecturers from various higher education institutions. The analysis revealed that most participants have limited experience in using AI tools. The primary barriers include a lack of adequate training, insufficient time to learn new technologies, and inadequate technical support at the institution. Faculty members with higher academic titles and those who use AI tools less frequently display greater training needs. Academics from science and technical fields use AI more often compared to those from other disciplines. The results indicate the necessity of investing in training programs and technological support for academic lecturers to enhance the effective use of AI in education. Preferences regarding AI tools are strongly tied to their financial accessibility, suggesting a need to promote free or partially free tools. The findings can serve as a basis for developing strategies to support AI implementation in higher education, contributing to improved teaching quality and research efficiency.

Preparing Pedagogy Students for Teaching Programming in Early Childhood Education

Ewelina Rzońca , Tomasz Warchoł

Language: EN | Published: 31-12-2024 | Abstract | pp. 1-20

The article discusses the competencies of modern teachers in utilizing information and communication technologies, particularly in the context of programming. The main objective of the research was to assess the knowledge and skills of future early childhood education teachers in applying this knowledge to practical tasks. The study was conducted among students from two public universities in Poland using a diagnostic survey method, with a questionnaire based on a knowledge test as the research tool. The test design was based on the theoretical assumptions of Niemierko (2009) regarding educational objectives An analysis of the results showed that future early childhood education teachers possess theoretical knowledge of programming. However, only 35% of them were able to explain programming principles in detail. The application of this knowledge in practice was less ffective, with success rates of 45% for typical tasks and 47% for problem-solving tasks. These results suggest the need to modify study programs by increasing the number of hours dedicated to programming-related subjects and placing greater emphasis on solving programming tasks through practical experience. Based on the conducted research and observations, the authors propose increasing the number of hours dedicated to programming-related topics. This approach would allow students not only to acquire theoretical knowledge but also to effectively apply it to practical tasks. After all, future teachers will be responsible for introducing students in grades 1–3 to the world of programming and developing their computational thinking. Another important aspect is ensuring a teacher education and training system that enables teachers to develop and deepen their digital competencies in programming. New technological solutions emerge rapidly, and teachers should keep up with them to adequately prepare students for future challenges and foster skills such as problem-solving and logical thinking. The authors also suggest that further research is needed on various components of digital competencies to help future teachers adapt pedagogical programs to the realities of the modern world and equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills.

Language: EN | Published: 17-06-2023 | Abstract | pp. 1-22

The Covid19 pandemic has changed the day-to-day behaviour of society in many aspects, including education. The mode of operation of schools has changed from traditional to remote. The changes affected various school types, also universities. Remote teaching as a binding educational practice forced both students and teachers to adapt to a dynamically changing reality. Experience gained during the pandemic had an impact on the educational and professional prospects of students. The aim of the research was to learn about the expectations of students towards their own development and education, as well as to determine what their postulates are regarding formal education in post-pandemic times. Extensive empirical material was obtained from 100 people (women) studying at the Pedagogical University of Krakow. The objectification of the results was possible after a thorough analysis of the narrative texts (prospective). Formal and content categories were distinguished, which were arranged in four areas, taking into account the postulates of the surveyed students related to: (1) organisation and course of education, (2) use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education, (3) fulfilment of students’ needs, (4) personal and professional development. The selected areas form a complementary whole in which students’ expectations relate to important spheres of functioning of an individual, that is intellectual, psychosocial and physical. The students participating in the survey expect that after the pandemic they will still be able to use experience and skills gained during the remote learning, they want the university to provide a secure physical and social space. They also want to receive emotional support which would help get rid of negative feelings and also receive instrumental support to allow correct behaviour and effective participation in post-pandemic education. The described categories were expanded to include examples of students’ narratives.

Language: EN | Published: 07-06-2024 | Abstract | pp. 1-26

This paper addresses the issue of modern didactics and student motivation for self-learning as well as tackling significant practical challenges. In technical and STEAM education, achieving high levels of motivation is particularly important, as students often become overwhelmed by the vast amount of information and opportunities which lead to diminished interest. At the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Silesia in Katowice, a Hackathon – a 24-hour programming marathon – was organized to enhance student engagement. During this event, students confronted a critical problem in modern societye: emotion recognition. The goal was to develop solutions and help for fostering emotion recognition skills in young people with real-world implementation potential. Additionally, students tested their abilities under time pressure, honed their group work competencies, and faced real-time problem-solving scenarios. This paper presents an evaluation of the event’s impact and analyzes the results of a post-event survey, providing feedback to improve the quality of future Hackathons. The main research questions we posed during the research were: RQ1: At what level of quality was the Hackathon event organized? Whether students were well informed and felt cared for during this event? RQ2: What aspects and properties motivate students most to take part in events organized at the university like Hackathon? RQ3: What competencies, knowledge and skills were developed by participants in the Hackathon? RQ4: Do students consider issues related to recognizing emotions important and the created applications possible to use in practice? In this paper, we answer these questions using statistical analysis as well as simple machine learning models.

Language: EN | Published: 11-06-2024 | Abstract | pp. 1-18

The article aimed to investigate the perspectives of e-tutors regarding the importance of Technological Pedagogical Knowledge in an Open Distance e-Learning Institution. The article employs a quantitative survey method to allow students to articulate their impressions of how e-tutors leverage their topic expertise to impart knowledge. The study includes 350 students who are enrolled in a module. Its objective was to gain insights, using quantitative analysis, into the techniques used by e-tutors in delivering content. During the delivery of content, e-tutors provided explanations and support for different viewpoints, taking into
account students’ input on the choice, execution, and overall impact of teaching methods. The collected data were arranged and presented in tables. E-tutors recognized the use of Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) to assist and enhance online student activities. Therefore, it was found that constructivism could help to incorporate the TPK framework, thereby enhancing students’ understanding of the instructional design process. However, the study discovered a lack of comprehension among e-tutors regarding the TPK concept in relation to curriculum design.

The research highlights the essence of gamification and the approbation of the curriculum with elements of gamification "Social successfulness" in the educational process of educational institutions. Theoretical methods are applied – analysis, synthesis, comparison, systematization, generalization of materials from psychological and pedagogical sources regarding the problem of social successfulness and the possibilities of its formation in adolescents in the conditions of out-of-school and general secondary education institutions, specification for harmonizing the content of the curriculum "Social successfulness" and its process approvals; empirical methods – observation, questionnaires for collecting empirical information, blitz surveys concerning the awareness of the characteristics of a successful personality. The authors consider gamification as a set of various tools and mechanics that contribute to the significant enrichment of the educational process with entertaining, educational, educational, motivational, and social-communicative components. The researchers characterized the educational program "Social successfulness", in particular, determined its target orientations and key competencies of teenagers, highlighted the gamification tools necessary for the implementation of the program, found out that the mixed format is the optimal format for its implementation, as it combines the advantages of offline and online learning and can be effective in conditions of increased danger associated with martial law. The article carried out a pedagogical reflection and found out that, according to the results of the blitz survey, teenagers verbalize the two most common portraits of a socially successful personality (based on external indicators of success and personal qualities), according to the results of the questionnaire, the majority of respondents positively perceived game tools and recognized her own activity during training with the use of gamification as productive. The issue of using gamification tools for children of different ages, including those with special educational needs, and the creation of an algorithm for using gamification elements in various educational institutions require further research.
