Sustainable design when used in educational building design has large effect or features the buildings possess and it also effects the users interaction with the building. This effect needs to be determined whether it is positive or negative one. Multiple case studies and a main case study of The Loughborough Design School were researched and analysed through questionnaires, interviews, and library resources. This was carried out to discover varied opinions and reviews of a range of educational buildings that have taken a slightly different approach for the sustainable design. 50 people, a mixture of Loughborough student, other students and other users, completed a distributed online survey focusing on their personal experiences with the educational buildings they spend time to achieve an understanding of day to day living with different buildings. Three people were interviewed on the topic of sustainably built educational buildings, all users differing in profession and age to provide a more diverse amount of data to be analysed. Key issues appeared throughout the study, which consisted of natural light issues, noise pollution, and temperature regulation problems within the buildings. These findings show that the introduction of sustainable design over recent years drastically effects the technological techniques and user interaction of educational buildings, but there is still a long way for technology to progress before sustainable design will be problem free and second nature.
A mixed methodology study measuring the use of Augmented Reality (AR) information overlay mapping in online instructional design courses, and the impact on participant's working memory is presented. Novel AR technological expansions, and the rapid proliferation of powerful computing tools embodied by emerging mobile and wearable st computing devices, illustrate a significant shift in 21 century learning strategies. This study may help to increase the body of knowledge on effective AR integration plans, adapted working memory utilization in technology-enhanced classrooms, and the viability of AR assistive devices in online learning domain studies. This study investigated whether AR systems provided a uniquely beneficial learning context due to AR's native function to overlay information onto manifold electronic and physical domain settings. While the quantitative data collected in this study was limited due to a minor sample size (n=27), the qualitative results indicated that AR users were exceedingly engaged, and recalled content readily; indicating greater student engagement. The results of the study indicated several data points that posit affirmative correlation in regard to recall and memory with the AR only group. However, the general combination of qualitative and quantitative data to triangulate a discernible relationship between AR and working memory gains remained inconclusive overall, with marginal statistical distinctions. Future studies with mobile AR implementations are recommended with larger statistically significant participant sample sizes to measure potential impact on working memory and associative information processing.
This paper looks at benefits of technology inclusion in global indigenous students' learning. Critical meta-analysis was undertaken of fifteen articles. It was found that Indigenous students learn better through a Culture inclusive curriculum. Technology can be an effective tool in creating a collaborative environment, where students can share their learning and build their knowledge from what they already know. This allows informal learning as well as classroom learning possible. Students are also able to bring their background knowledge into the classroom to learn better. However, this is only possible if students do not get distracted during its use. The type of assessment used will also determine mathematical achievement as for indigenous students' context of the question needs to be familiar for them to understand it better.
The present article is based on a small-scale research that took place with the students in the Department of Computer Science and Biomedical Informatics in 2014 and three years later with the students of the same Department and the Department of Computer Science, as well. Students who have enrolled in the Educational science-Pedagogy module, that the Department offers, were asked if the module was beneficial in a Department purely technical (Faculty of Science) and if this theoretical module assisted them in their academic life and generally. Various views are listed reflecting students' perspective of the module Educational science-Pedagogy and come to the conclusion that we present; no module is useless.
To be successful in any field, one needs to have good decision making, effective critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The skills an individual possess not only helps him/her to earn his/her livelihood but also aids in the development and progress of the whole nation. So, there is an urgent need of integrating our traditional courses with skill development modules to enhance the efficiency of the young population and help them to be successful in their careers in future. Some basic skills like communication, creative thinking, self directed learning and problem solving are not only needed by an individual during course of his study or a job but also needed in day to day life to cope up with real life problems. One such method which can help in enhancing the skills and knowledge during school, college as well as at workplace is problem based learning; and if students are imparted education and trained for various skills right from the school through problem based learning, the concept and understanding pertaining to school curriculum and real life situations will be long lasting and concrete. The present paper critically reviews the studies related to development of skills through Problem Based Learning.
