Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Spielend Lernen im Flow: Die motivationale
Book SynopsisAnna Hoblitz untersucht die Nutzung und Wirkung von Serious Games als interaktives Lernmedium. Im Mittelpunkt der Überlegungen steht neben der neuen Form des Wissenstransfers besonders die Motivationskraft von digitalen Spielen.

Doch können Serious Games, wenn sie im Schulunterricht eingesetzt werden und damit auch ein Lernziel verfolgen, tatsächlich die zugeschriebene motivationale Wirkung entfalten? Wie verhalten sich dabei Spiel- und Lernmotivation zueinander? Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen werden auf Basis einer quantitativen Untersuchung eines Serious Game im Fachunterricht diskutiert.Table of ContentsSerious Games und Educational Games – Gegenstand und Forschungsfeld.- Lernen mit Educational Games in formalen Lernkontexten.- Lernmotivation und Spielmotivation.- Das Zusammenspiel von Motivation und Lernen mit Educational Games im Schulunterricht – ein Strukturgleichungsmodell.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Digitale Medien, Partizipation und Ungleichheit:
Book SynopsisSteffen Rudolph widmet sich in seiner Studie der empirischen Untersuchung digitaler Ungleichheiten mit dem besonderen Fokus auf Partizipation im Internet. Vor dem Hintergrund einer an Pierre Bourdieu anknüpfenden Perspektive zeigt sich, dass nicht nur der Zugang, sondern auch der unterschiedliche Gebrauch des Internets deutlich von der sozialen Position der Akteure abhängig ist und bei der aktiven Gestaltung des Internets Benachteiligung sowie Exklusion drohen. Entgegen der Hoffnung auf eine vorwiegend horizontale gesellschaftliche Ausdifferenzierung bleiben mit Blick auf die verschiedenen Internetpraktiken die klassischen vertikalen Ungleichheitsdimensionen auch weiterhin relevant.Trade Review“...

Book SynopsisDas Konzept der Nachhaltigkeit erfährt in den letzten Jahren zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit in allen Lebensbereichen. Ob es um Stories zum Klimaschutz auf Instagram, Erklärvideos zur Kreislaufwirtschaft auf YouTube oder Tweets zur Armutsbekämpfung auf Twitter geht - längst hat das Thema auch Einzug in die aufmerksamkeitsstarke Welt von Social Media gefunden.

Dadurch rücken sie Nachhaltigkeit verstärkt aus der wissenschaftlichen Nische in den öffentlichen Diskurs.Dieser Sammelband verbindet die bisher zumeist getrennt gedachten Bereiche Nachhaltigkeit und Social Media. Welche nachhaltigen Themen dominieren in den sozialen Netzwerken? Wie werden diese in Facebook rezipiert und auf YouTube diskutiert? Welchen Einfluss hat die Darstellung von ressourcenschonendem Verhalten bei Instagram auf den privaten Alltag? Diesen und weiteren spannenden Fragen wird in diesem Kompendium auf den Grund gegangen.

Damit wird ein Beitrag zum wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Diskurs beider Bereiche geleistet und die Nachhaltigkeitsforschung im digitalen Raum gestärkt.Table of ContentsForschungsgrundlagen zu Nachhaltigkeit und Social Media.- Nachhaltigkeit in Social Media.- Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung durch Social Media.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Digital Communication and Learning: Changes and
Book SynopsisThis edited book collects papers with perspectives from scholars and practitioners in Asia, Australia, and Europe to reveal the pros and cons, chances and challenges, constraints, and potential risks that educators and learners are facing as the new paradigm for communication and learning takes place, with a view to shedding light on the global education climate in the midst of the pandemic. Since the onset of the global pandemic, education has been revolutionized in almost every aspect. The emergency precautionary measures which were once supposed to be temporary school arrangements only have now become the new normal, reshaping our understanding of learning environments, redefining the pedagogic standards in terms of teaching practices, learning designs, teacher–student interaction, feedback, and assessment. Online teaching, distanced learning, flipped classrooms, and self-paced e-learning have all played an increasingly vital role in shaping a new education culture in various education settings, affecting school management, teachers, students, and parents alike. While ICT in education, alongside new media, has provided ample benefits and convenience for educators and students, communication and virtual lessons conducted in the socially distanced classroom appear to have brought issues such as the digital divide, e-mental health, insufficient technical support, inefficient classroom management, reduced interaction between teachers and students, not to mention the growing concerns over privacy and security.

Book SynopsisThis book discusses the use of Web 2.0 tools to leverage students’ own use of New Media, which can take learning beyond the classroom. This paradigmatic book will help language educators gain a better understanding of the shift in pedagogic practices through the incorporation of technology in language learning programs. It explores the theoretical underpinnings of ICT in education, before moving on to pragmatic considerations and subsequent implementation of ICT within and beyond language classrooms in the South Asian context. The book covers a wide range of topics, such as the context within which ICT can be placed vis-à-vis teaching and learning in the digital age, as well as the role of ICT in communicative practices, and strategies used to bring these practices to the language classroom. It illustrates how ICT can be incorporated for both receptive as well as productive language learning skills, such as listening, reading, speaking, and writing within pedagogic frameworks. Accordingly, it addresses affordable technologies and how they can be made a part of the teaching–learning experience. Finally, in terms of ICT beyond the classroom, the book provides a broader perspective on ICT in terms of selecting platforms or software, as well as the evaluation of ICT with special reference to ICT policies that offer language educators guidance on managing ICT frameworks within their institutions. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for language educators, teacher trainers, students, and researchers in education and linguistics programs within and outside South Asia.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Report on China Smart Education 2022: Digital
Book SynopsisThis book aims to reflect the digital transformation of Chinese education toward smart education comprehensively and accurately. It is the first systematic summary of the progress of smart education in China. The book believes that smart education is a new education form in the digital era and is essentially distinct from education forms in the industrial era. This new education form is innovative in five dimensions. First is the new core concept. Smart education is not only a concrete action concerning people’s well-being, but also a vital strategy concerning national plans. Through technology empowerment and data drive, it empowers educational reform in all aspects, systematically constructs a new relationship between education and society, provides suitable education for each learner, and makes the aptitude-based teaching that we have been dreaming of for thousands of years a reality. For the first time in history, smart education helps to reach the full alignment between individual development and societal development. Second is the new system structure. Smart education will break through the boundaries of school education, drive the diversified combination of various education types, resources, and elements, promote the collaboration of school, family, and society in education, and build a high-quality, individualized lifelong learning system that is available for anyone anywhere anytime. Third is the new teaching paradigm. Smart education will integrate physical, social, and digital spaces to create new learning scenarios and promote human–technology integration, and cultivate cross-grade, cross-class, and cross-discipline learning communities across time and space to organically combine large-scale education with individualized cultivation. Fourth is the new educational content. Smart education will focus on developing all-round education, establishing digital knowledge graphs based on systematic logics of knowledge points, and innovating content presentation methods to make learning a wonderful experience and help learners develop higher-order thinking skills, comprehensive innovation capability, and lifelong learning ability. Fifth is the new education governance. With data governance at the core and digital intelligence technology as the driver, smart education will boost the holistic reengineering of education administration and business processes and enhance the modernization of the education governance system and governance capacity. This book is intended for teachers, education administrators, education policymakers, education researchers, and parents concerned about education innovation and development, as well as people from all walks of life who have aspirations for the education industry. It can also serve as a reference for international organizations and education research institutions of all countries to promote the joint exploration of the development path of smart education and create a better future for the world’s mutual development through educational reform.Table of ContentsPreface.- PART I Concepts and Practices.- Chapter 1 Conceptual Framework of Smart Education in China.- Chapter 2 Transformation and Practices of Smart Education in China.- Chapter 3 Achievement of China Smart Education Development.- Chapter 4 Outlooks on Smart Education in China.- PART II Monitoring and Evaluation.-Chapter 5 Report on China Smart Education Development Index 2022 (Composite Index).- Chapter 6 Report on China Smart Education Development Index 2022 (Basic Education).- Chapter 7 Report on China Smart Education Development Index 2022 (Vocational Education).- Chapter 8 Report on China Smart Education Development Index 2022 (Higher Education).- Appendix.- Epilogue.

Information Age Publishing Taking eService-Learning to the Next Level:
Book SynopsisThe chapters in this book provide an excellent story of the growth of e-learning and e-service-learning over the past many years. Strait takes us from the first chapter examining current issues and considerations for eService-Learning, to a second chapter that documents the growth and maturation of a program at Missouri State University, to chapters that introduce "critical" e-service learning with a social justice orientation (Gordon and Jackson-Brown), and chapters that address international experiences (Ong, Tan, et al., and Dietrich and Ekici) that involve e-service-learning in Singapore and long-distance relationships between the US and Afghanistan, to illustrate the multiplicity and diversity of current models of service and learning that occur through electronic means.The importance of the book and its chapters is that change happens. What was occurring in the early 21st century was altered by situations, such as the global pandemic of Covid 19, to increase the reliance on e-educational systems and promote the increased use of electronic educational programs that covered almost all areas of educational systems. While early mobile phones existed in the 1970s (Teixeira, T. 2010), they evolved, and more sophisticated versions were produced throughout the 20th century. By the end of the century, phones that could easily transmit emails were developed, and then came camera phones and then smart phones by 2003. And phone communication has continued to change, existing today as a total communication device used by people all over the world.Similarly, video, and visual systems have evolved and continue to change. Zoom was developed in 2011 and has continued to evolve and expand services all over the world. People are now able to visually and orally communicate with others on every continent 24 hours a day, and the complexity and utility of communication has similarly expanded. Now phones can instantaneously translate between languages and people in all parts of the world can share experiences and visual products without barriers of language, country, or time. Indeed, the electronic world is an amazing entity and continues to evolve each year.So, what are the implications of all these changes for education and service? Simply put, they are and will continue to evolve to more complex and more useful forms for all communication and interaction. And this current volume gives us much insight into the important areas of change in both e-learning and e-service-learning. All the chapters add great insight and information about important issues in the field and highlight some of the critical concepts embedded in its development.

Book SynopsisCOVID-19 ravaged the United States and the rest of the world in a similar manner as a Category V hurricane would, leaving no one safe in its wake. Unlike a hurricane though, where appropriate provisions and supports are possible and past experiences can help to prepare, how do you prepare for something Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous such as a worldwide pandemic? Imagine having your high school graduation and prom ripped away from you with little to no warning. Imagine being a 40+ year professor and being told that "you are now going to teach hybrid with some students in the class and some students online," or imagine that you were accepted into the 2nd most prestigious Ph.D. program in the United States and dream of being a professor and look for those face-to-face mentoring opportunities on campus. This book addresses the lived experiences of many throughout the onset, duration, and the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and helps prepare readers for the never ending storm ahead.Our book offers guidance from leaders from different walks of life. We visit with a pastor who had to "get creative" to combat the pandemic, examine how school board members have interacted with parents and other community stakeholders, hear from a current superintendent in a large school district in Maine, and other stakeholders impacted by COVID-19. Our message is cautious, yet optimistic, to prepare the reader for life in a VUCA world.

Information Age Publishing Utilizing Visual Representation in Educational
Book SynopsisThis edited volume focuses on visual and image-based methodologies that can be used to expand how educators approach, design, and innovate research for the purpose of informing and improving teaching and learning. Exploring how data can be utilized, collected, and rendered useful in the education arena is of utmost importance to those oriented towards utilizing research with the aim of improving educational practice. Innovative methodologies are important for preparing future researchers/scholars and teachers in developing and sustaining professional knowledge. To date, while visual methodologies are explored in various volumes related to general areas of social science, few texts exist where visual methodologies are explained or well-understood in the field of education, specifically.This work centers on the functions, cultures, and outcomes of teaching and learning using visual data (i.e., participant-generated drawings, photo-elicitation, film, etc.) and the methods that frame this approach. It is intended for teachers, researchers, and teacher-researchers - in higher education as well as at PK-12 levels – who are ready to engage with innovative, and often compelling, research methods that make data collection across data sources both accessible and equitable. This volume illustrates how various scholars have conceptualized, generated, and executed research utilizing visual data in their own schools, classrooms, and/or districts, and what they learned from these investigations.This edited volume is organized according to four main strands: Conducting research as visual endeavor: Assessing the nature of visual methodology, Conducting research as visual endeavor: Pedagogical innovation, What can visual data in educational research reveal: Student engagement, motivation, selfdetermination, metacognition, and mindfulness, and Conducting research as visual endeavor: Critical perspectives-critical exploration of issues in education and visual data's engagement with, and impact on, marginalized and/or disenfranchised participants.The chapters within each section, authored by established scholars in their fields of study, focus on some of today's key educational practices and the ways in which visual methodologies can provide innovation in the design of educational research. Each chapter within the volume reflects the importance of using credible, confirmable, reliable, and triangulated interpretations as a foundation for any claims, findings, or assertions related to pedagogical innovation, student mindfulness, and critical pedagogy. In summary, this edited volume is critically engaged, innovative, and contributes to advances in qualitative inquiry, visual research methodologies, and alternative ways of 'seeing' and 'knowing'.

Book SynopsisThe American Psychological Association (2020) reported that some 81% of teenage children (13 to 17 years-of-age) were negatively impacted in a range of ways due to school closures in connection with COVID-19, including 47% who indicated that they "didn't learn as much as they did in previous years" (para. 21). That perhaps many more than 47% of teenage children in the United States did not learn as much as they did in previous years was documented in the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report which found that "the national average score declines in mathematics for fourth- and eighth-graders were the largest ever recorded in that subject" (Wilburn & Elias, 2022, para. 1). The National Center for Educational Statistics Commissioner commented somewhat hyperbolically that the results showed that "every student was vulnerable to the pandemic's disruptions" (Wilburn & Elias, 2022, para. 5) and called for a single-minded emphasis on ways to assist students to recover from their trauma and accelerate their learning. Wilburn and Elias (2022) joined those who have pointed out that the learning declines associated with COVID-19 did not occur equitably. The likelihood of a single-minded policy response to change the system and address the achievement gaps exposed by the range of responses to COVID-19 seems small. On the one hand, doubting the sustainability of innovative responses, education historian Larry Cuban referenced the dominant stability of schooling which, if anything, "produces this huge public and professional need to resume schooling as it was" (Young, 2022, para. 18). On the other hand, diverse political agendas will diffuse concerted efforts. Grossman et al. (2021) discussed a pertinent example from Michigan where "public health data, partisanship, and collective bargaining" (p. 637) each played a role in determining school reopening decisions. On this same issue of school reopening, there is credible evidence from Massachusetts that the much maligned and politically explosive masking policies implemented in some schools may have saved lives (Cowger et al., 2022). Roy (2020) asserted that "historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next" (para. 48). The chapters in this volume attest to the willingness of individuals to collaborate in stepping through that portal.

(2021) discussed a pertinent example from Michigan where "public health data, partisanship, and collective bargaining" (p. 637) each played a role in determining school reopening decisions. On this same issue of school reopening, there is credible evidence from Massachusetts that the much maligned and politically explosive masking policies implemented in some schools may have saved lives (Cowger et al., 2022). Roy (2020) asserted that "historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next" (para. 48). The chapters in this volume attest to the willingness of individuals to collaborate in stepping through that portal.
