The popularization of digital educational devices with low barriers to entry has encouraged the development of many training activities oriented towards the incorporation of technology in schools. In some cases, the introduction of technology has led to the development of new educational practices that support the development of computational thinking. However, the supposed benefits of these approaches...
Effective teaching of teamwork skills in local and globally distributed Software Engineering (SE) teams is recognized as an important part of the education of current and future software engineers. Effective methods for assessment and early prediction of learning effectiveness in SE teamwork are not only a critical part of teaching but also of value in industrial training and project management. This...
The evaluation of educational approaches is frequently challenging as it involves humans and requires the consideration of several angles depending on the educational objectives. On occasions, these objectives involve academic and industrial environments, thus implying additional challenges. Education in Global Software Development (GSD) has recently became important for companies that offer GSD training...
This study explores how teachers' attitudes and competencies influence their willingness to adopt mobile learning approaches. By mobile learning we mean teaching approaches that use mobile devices to enliven and extend traditional teaching. Of particular interest is exploring how first-order (e.g. lack of adequate access, time, training and support) and second-order (e.g. teacher's pedagogical and...
The INSPIRE program links graduate students with middle school and high school teachers and students to simultaneously address the need to inspire future students in remote sensing fields as well as providing professional development opportunities for graduate students currently in those disciplines. The INSPIRE program involves each year 10 graduate students (a cumulative total thus far of 50), 5...
The ICTWays Network focuses on the use of ICT to support Science teaching classrooms. After identifying existing hardware and software resources in European schools, existing ICT training procedures for teachers, available software for science teaching and current best practices, the partners are working on the development of a Community of Practice for Teachers, as well as providing local workshops...
This work is concerned with the integration of the NSF/IEEE-TCPP Curriculum Initiative on Parallel and Distributed Computing propositions into the curriculum for bachelors in Applied Mathematics and Informatics at the State University of Nizhni Novgorod (UNN). The article compares the NSF/IEEE-TCPP Curriculum with the recommendations developed within the framework of the Russian Supercomputing Education...
Cyber security is a highly technical field requiring skilled professionals to develop and protect our digital systems. But what constitutes a well-trained and educated cybersecurity professional? Obviously, they should have a strong IT background — experienced in cutting edge new technologies. They need to understand computer monitoring, processing, system security, data loss prevention, intrusion...
Designing a professional Computer Networking course aligned with the up-to-date intended learning outcomes is one of the most important goals for educational institutes working in this field. The particular nature of knowledge, intellectual and professional skills of this dynamic course impose a group of challenges and sophisticated settlement requirements that should be met. The current teaching...
In order to understand young students' perceptions of bioenergy and the social environment of their learning about bioenergy, a survey was conducted among 1903 school students of 15 years age in Finland, Slovakia, Taiwan, and Turkey. The results showed that the students were critical of bioenergy especially the issues related to energy production from forest biomass. Most of the students did not have...
By fostering public-private partnerships in cybersecurity education, the US government is motivating federal agencies, industry, and academia to work more closely together to defend cyberspace.
