A rigorous study, Technology in the Middle and Secondary Social Studies Classroom provides a comprehensive, up-to-date research framework for conceptualizing successful, technology-rich social studies classrooms.
Technology to Support Children's Collaborative Interactions: Close Encounters of the Shared Kind
by Nicola YuillThis book explores how technology can foster interaction between children and their peers, teachers and other adults. It presents the Co-EnACT framework to explain how technology can support children to collaborate, so helping them to learn and engage enjoyably with the world, in both work and play. The focus is on children, rather than young people, but the principles of supporting interaction apply throughout all life stages. Chapters on classrooms and on autism explain principles behind using technology in ways that support, rather than obstruct, social interaction in diverse populations. Collaborative interaction involves both verbal and non-verbal behaviour and this book presents evidence from closely analysing children’s behaviour in natural settings. Examples from cutting-edge technology illustrate principles applicable to more widely-available technology. The book will be of interest to psychologists, educators, researchers in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), particularly those designing with children in mind, and practitioners working with children who want to deepen their understanding of using technology for collaboration.
Technology's Child: Digital Media’s Role in the Ages and Stages of Growing Up
by Katie DavisHow children engage with technology at each stage of development, from toddler to twentysomething, and how they can best be supported.What happens to the little ones, the tweens, and the teenagers, when technology—ubiquitous in the world they inhabit—becomes a critical part of their lives? This timely book brings much-needed clarity to what we know about technology&’s role in child development. Better yet, it provides guidance on how to use what we know to help children of all ages make the most of their digital experiences. From toddlers who are exploring their immediate environment to twentysomethings who are exploring their place in society, technology inevitably and profoundly affects their development. Drawing on her expertise in developmental science and design research, Katie Davis describes what happens when child development and technology design interact, and how this interaction is complicated by children&’s individual characteristics and social and cultural contexts. Critically, she explains how a self-directed experience of technology—one initiated, sustained, and ended voluntarily—supports healthy child development, especially when it takes place within the context of community support. Children&’s experiences with technology—their &“screen time&” and digital social relationships—have become an inescapable aspect of growing up. This book, for the first time, identifies the qualitative distinctions between different ages and stages of this engagement, and offers invaluable guidance for parents and teachers navigating the digital landscape, and for technology designers charting the way.
Technology, Institutions and Labor: Manufacturing Automobiles In Argentina And Turkey (International Political Economy Ser)
by Fulya ApaydinIn this book Fulya Apaydin argues that labor responses to dramatic technological change are influenced by the political institutions of the Global South more than any other factor. In addressing vocational education programs – which are highly relevant in understanding how labor unrest is governed in developing settings – she makes two important contributions. Firstly, she offers a new theoretical framework to understand labor mobilization and de-mobilization patterns, rethinking vocational education as a key transmission belt for manufacturing labor consent. Secondly, she provides a systematic comparison of skill formation schemes and their implications on labor mobilization in federal and unitary systems. With a focus on Argentina and Turkey, two case studies are provided in which technology has provoked differing levels of strikes, walkouts and extended protest.
Technology, Legal Education and Legal Profession in China and Australia: Opportunities and Challenges (International and Comparative Law in the Asia Pacific)
by Peng Guo Shu Zhang Jie LuoThis book adopts a comparative and empirical approach to the discussion relating to the subject matter. The book compares various selected topics in both China and Australia, drawing attention to historical, contemporary, and international characteristics. Also, in discussing the topics, the authors will conduct surveys and interviews to get first-hand materials and describe the real situations in both countries. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first time that this approach has been adopted to compare legal education and the legal profession focusing on China and Australia. This book introduces legal education and the legal profession in China and Australia to lay a foundation based on which it further compares them. More importantly, this book discusses some selected topics relating to legal education and the legal profession in the context of globalization, the digital age, and COVID-19. The intended readership is an international audience including students at both undergraduate and graduate levels, legal scholars, and legal practitioners in general, and those in China and Australia in particular. This book intends to analyse the discourse of legal education and identify and create innovative ways of teaching and learning the law in China and Australia. It focuses on research, theory, and practice within legal education and the legal profession based on imaginative and sophisticated educational thinking from an empirical and comparative perspective. It also takes a broad view of theory and practice relating to legal education and the legal profession. It is sensitive to the diversity of contexts in which law is taught, learned, and practised.
Technology, Literacy, Learning: A Multimodal Approach
by Carey JewittWith the recent explosion of technology into the world of education across the globe, this book sets out a framework for rethinking the three key areas of schooling that are most affected by technology's impact on education today: knowledge as curriculum; learning and pedagogy and literacy across the curriculum. A well-known author in this field, Jewitt takes the reader through an analysis of teaching and learning with materials such as CD-ROMs, websites, the Internet, computer programming applications and computer games, relating each in turn to the main curriculum topics. Through this detailed scrutiny the following questions emerge: How do the new technologies reshape knowledge as curriculum? How does the use of new technologies in the classroom reshape learning pedagogy? As writing moves from page to screen, what is the impact on students' situated literacy practices and how does it effect learning? Through these questions, this book demonstrates that mode, technology and curriculum knowledge are fundamentally connected and describes how teacher and student roles in the classroom could be altered in the face of new technologies.
Technology, Literacy, and the Evolution of Society: Implications of the Work of Jack Goody
by David R. Olson Michael ColeInspired by the seminal work of Jack Goody, a historical anthropologist specializing in the study of social structure and change, Technology, Literacy, and the Evolution of Society gathers diverse perspectives of 20 distinguished historians, anthropologists, psychologists, and educators to address the role of technologies in social stability and change in traditional and modern societies. In this interdisciplinary text, scholars examine the ways in which local languages and cultural traditions, modes of production and communication, patterns of local knowledge and authority affect how people and cultures resist or accommodate demands for such change. With work from acclaimed contributors, this pioneering volume is the first analysis of the influence of Jack Goody. It provides a thorough look at the relations between societies of different practices, customs, and values, determining the mechanisms behind sociocultural stability and change. Technology, Literacy, and the Evolution of Society is intended for graduate students and academics in history, anthropology, psychology, sociology, and education, as well as academics and all others interested in pursuing the directions and implications of the work and influence of Jack Goody.
Technology, Multimodality and Learning: Analyzing Meaning across Scales (Palgrave Studies in Educational Media)
by Germán CanaleThis book introduces multimodality and technology as key concepts for understanding learning in the 21st century. The author investigates how a nationwide socio-educational policy in Uruguay becomes recontextualised across time/space scales, impacting interaction and learning in an English as a Foreign Language classroom. The book introduces scalar analysis to better understand the situated and fractal nature of education policy as meaning-making, subsequently defining learning from a multimodal socio-semiotic approach. The analytical integration of different policy scales shows what policy means to various stakeholders, and what learning means for students and teachers. This depends both on how they position themselves and how they engage with the policy educational media. This innovative book will appeal to students and scholars of technology and learning, as well as multimodality.
Technology, Research and Professional Learning: Constructing Intellectual Exchange in the Rise of Network Society (Perspectives on Rethinking and Reforming Education)
by Jingjing ZhangThis book investigates the use of network technologies in research, and explores how such use potentially changes the nature of professional learning between academics. It attempts to situate the discussion of technology use in real-world research settings, to identify the different forms of participation in intellectual exchange embedded in academic dialogue, and to further contribute to knowledge on how the use of network technology potentially changes the nature of learning. Multiple data collection methods are employed, in two forms of study: a single case study, and a number of individual interviews. The single case study was carried out over a one-year period, and consisted of interviews (22 interviewees), observations, and document review. Individual semi-structured interviews were carried out over a similar period of time with a wider and different population of 24 academics from different Oxford faculties. Half of these were interviewed twice.The main findings presented in this book demonstrate that the direct consequences of technology use are changes to academic dialogue and scholarly communication in general. The change to this critical aspect of research – scholarly communication – has potentially led to more distributed research in interconnected research environments. It is the changes to scholarly communication and the research environment that consequently affect participation in intellectual exchange.
Technology, Theory, and Practice in Interdisciplinary STEM Programs
by Reneta D. LansiquotThis book highlights models for promoting interdisciplinary thinking and an appreciation for interdisciplinary understanding among students in STEM-related fields. Studentsmajoring in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics often perceivethat courses in their major are not related to the general education liberalarts courses required for their degrees. This separation prevents the transfer of skills between their generaleducation courses and their degree pursuits. The false dichotomy is particularlyimportant because solving the daunting challenges of the twenty-firstcentury--such as drug-resistant bacteria, scarcity of natural resources, andclimate change--requires global citizens armed with robust, complex abilitieswho can integrate interdisciplinary concepts with bold technologies. Contributors to this book explore ways in which this dichotomy can be overcome.
