New Information and Communication Technologies and University Education Renovation in Vietnam

The introduction of new information and communication technologies in Vietnam has had significant impacts on every sector, and changed the face of the whole Vietnamese society. New cultures, customs, and norms have been introduced to compete with the country＇s traditional values. In the context of Vietnamese sustained economic growth and social development, university education in Vietnam falls behind those from regional countries, partly because the influences of＇ information and communication technologies to the society as well as the education system at the paradigm levels have not been properly understood. In order to reverse this trend, a comprehensive renovation in university education must be carried out, and one of the first issues to be addressed is to reach a national consensus on the traditional and emerging social and educational values in Vietnam.

A Culturally-Sensitive Model for CME Distance Learning Demonstratesa Way Forward： Kenya＇s Experience with ACME-IT （Advancing Continuing Medical Education Through Information Technology）

A distance learning Continuing Medical Education （CME） project based on live interactive presentations and a group participatory model demonstrated that important strides can be made in the quality of CME available to health care professionals in African rural settings. Implementers choose a communication model consistent with the fundamental orality of Kenyan and other sub-Saharan African countries. The project involved four hospitals and one training institution in rural Kenya. The testing of learners and focus group discussions with learners, facilitators and presenters indicated that the project＇s methodologies, that strove to be culturally and work place friendly, contributed to gains in knowledge, competencies including case management, the continuity of patient care, team work, staff morale and other issues of expressed importance to the hospital healthcare work force and hospital administrators. The learning system, known as Advancing Continuing Medical Education through Information Technology （ACME-IT）, was implemented by the Kenyan Ministry of Medical Services, EC Associates and the US-funded Aphia2 Western initiative implemented by PATH. The findings of this pilot suggests that the ACME-IT methodology that set up learning centers at the participating institutions is a promising viable alternative to the traditional and relatively expensive workshop training that characterizes much of CME in lower and middle income countries.

Evaluation of Technical Education by Using a Modern Structured MOODLE Laboratory Course, in Relation to Recent Data

E-learning platforms support education systems worldwide, transferring theoretical knowledge as well as soft skills. In the present study high-school pupils’, and adult students’ opinions were evaluated through a modern structured MOODLE interactive course, designed for the needs of the laboratory course “Automotive Systems”. The study concerns Greek secondary vocational education pupils aged 18 and vocational training adult students aged 20 to 50 years. The multistage, equal size simple random cluster sample was used as a sampling method. Pupils and adult students of each cluster completed structured 10-question questionnaires both before and after attending the course. A total of 120 questionnaires were collected. In general, our findings disclosed that the majority of pupils and adult students had significantly improved their knowledge and skills from using MOODLE. They reported strengthening conventional teaching, using the new MOODLE technology. The satisfaction indices improved quite, with the differences in their mean values being statistically significant.

Digital Transformation in Vocational Education:Present Situation,Problems,and Countermeasures

Digital transformation has become a crucial part in the modernization of vocational education,gaining considerable attention.Presently,guided by relevant national policies and projects,digital transformation in vocational education has yielded remarkable outcomes,specifically in digital supporting conditions,innovative teaching and learning methods,digital teaching proficiency,digital governance frameworks and models,and digital systems and mechanisms.Nevertheless,digital transformation in vocational education is challenged by a multitude of demands.They include advancing students’learning capability and initiative,further integrating information technology into teaching,updating and upgrading the essence and level of digital teaching proficiency,raising data-driven management and service abilities,leveling up digital supporting conditions,and improving digital systems and mechanisms.Thus,during the 14th Five-Year Plan period,a significant upgrade in digital vocational education should be made by enhancing the strategic comprehension and developmental stance of digital transformation,adopting a rational view on digital transformation,and elucidating the ideas and strategies pertaining to digital transformation.

Toward deep impacts of BIM on education

Building information models(BIM)provide a way to represent buildings and communicate about them.In teaching engineering,we also need representations of buildings and are communicating knowledge about them.While teaching engineering we refer to the very same real-world objects that have an explicit conceptualization in BIM.This explicit conceptualization did not exist in the age when design communication relied on drawings and documents.The question that this paper asks is this:due to BIM,communication in the industry has changed.Should communication of engineering knowledge–teaching–change as well and how?While much has been written about teaching BIM and incorporating BIM into the curricula,this paper is exploring the general impact of BIM on engineering education.It grounds earlier work(Turk,2018)on insights from pedagogy.Five scenarios of the interplay between BIM-influenced engineering communication and teaching are presented.The paper argues that ignoring BIM may create a cognitive dissonance between academic learning and industrial work.We are finding that the impact of BIM is twofold:vertically there is a need to establish a reference between knowledge concepts(in teaching building)and information objects(in building information models).Horizontally BIM is an integration technology that allows for a more holistic design and planning.Both the language of individual courses as well as cross references and synergies among courses should change.A“T”style structure of the courses around BIM is proposed as a basis for integrated curriculum.Pedagogical approaches based on deep learning,model based learning and project based learning are suggested.

Transcending the Dualities in Digital Education: A Case Study of Singapore

This study explores the complex dualities in digital education,focusing on the case study of Singapore.It highlights the ethical issues surrounding the integration of information and communication technology(ICT),especially artificial inteligence,in the education sector.The paper presents a theoretical framework to explore these dualities,examining how they have been navigated in Singapore's policy reforms to enhance digital education.These dualities include centralisation vs.decentralisation of resource orientation;customisation vs.standardisation of curriculum,formal vs.informal learning with respect to pedagogical approaches;human agency vs.technological automation for data interpretation;and peaks of excellence vs.equity in achievement outcomes.These aspects significantly impact the outcomes of ICT-enabled reforms.The study draws upon Singapore's longitudinal trajectory of integrating ICT in education,illustrating its efforts in reconciling these dualities.The findings underscore the importance of careful consideration and balance in integrating ICT in education,emphasising the need to transcend these dualities to build a more inclusive digital learning environment.
