Listening to students’ views of learning with technologies

Students’ Voices II: A Theoretical Background

March 22, 2010 | No CommentsIn the academic year 2008/2009 research has been conducted on the expatiations and experiences of students, pupils and novice teachers with respect to the implementation of ICT in learning processes. The results have given evidence to multiple possibilities for an effective implementation of ICT which furthermore may be expected to enforce in the near future.

The Students’ Voices II-project, the sequel to the first stage of Student Voices, is expected to lead to a centre of knowledge that can be implemented in a productive way in education.

The main research question for the Students’ Voices II research project is formulated as:

Which characteristics in successful learning practices implementing the Web 2.0 technology may serve as leading principles for redesigning learning environments in similar contexts?

The description of successful practicing should gain insight into the aspects of any given learning practice contributing to successful results. Other than motivation and ownership of all parties involved, characteristics of the context, contents of the learning practices, didactical strategy, choices with respect to media and communication, features of target groups and other parties involved, available learning environments, and supplementary conditions which may have been part of creating a successful environment, should be taken into consideration. Subsequently, analyses will show which factors may be considered context specific and hence are not expected to appear in other types of education; factors which may transcend or may be transformed into conditions applicable to multiple situations.
