3 Part II Invited Speeches Invited Speech: Case-based e-learningcan Change Education: RevealingIts Theoretical, Practical, and Political Power Reforming College CurriculaToward Using Real-World Experiences Speaker: Dr.Ikseon Choi, the University of Georgia, USA Time: 08:30-09:15, December 28, 2012 Location: Macao Room, 3rd floor, Conference Building Abstract A didactic, teacher-centered pedagogy and an experiential, learner-centered pedagogy co-exist in most educational institutions today, including higher education. Instead of complementing each other, these two approaches often create tensions and even conflicts in a way that does not enhance the quality of students learning experiences. These conflicts have been intensified when the institutions havetried to change their curricula to meet the new needs which have come from dramatically changing global societies. In this presentation, the author argues that well-designed, case-based e-learning resources can be successfully utilized to change and enhance existing curriculawhile reconciling unnecessary conflicts between the two existing pedagogical approaches at three levels: theoretical, practical, and political. At the theoretical level, the author identifies the discrepancies between required and achieved learning outcomes and between recommended and implemented instructional methods, and justifies how the case-based learning model can provide appropriate learning experiences to close these discrepancies. At the practical level, examples of case-based e-learning and its practices are presented in order to explain how technology-mediated, case-based learning can create practical flexibility through which everyday instructors can conveniently integrated e-learning resources into their face-to-face, online, and blended classroom teaching. At the political level, a typology of case-based learning approaches is presented in orderto explain how case-based learning can create a middle ground between the two conflicting pedagogical approaches. This middle ground creates a safe zonein which instructors can reach mutual agreements on curricula change and teaching practices without giving up their own pedagogical beliefs. Thus, well-designed case-based e-learning would make significant contributions to the enhancement of higher education through the power it has, from itstheoretical soundness, practical flexibility, and political mutuality. In closing, the author will discuss the potential shortcomings in developing and implanting case-based e-learning from a series of his design research projects. 2

4 Invited Speech: Empowering Teachers for Innovations: The Case of Online Teacher Learning Communities Speaker: Dr. Onno De Jong, Karlstad University, Sweden Time: 09:15-10:00, December 28, 2012 Location: Macao Room, 3rd floor, Conference Building Abstract Implementing innovations in classrooms often evokes a variety of recurrent difficulties, especially feelings of resistance among experienced teachers. Modern teacher education aims at reducing their opposition by empowering these teachers for developing new knowledge, beliefs, and skills. A growing number of these teacher courses is designed as teacher learning communities (TLC-s). A specific category of them, online networks, is the scope of the present paper. Main values and attributes of these communities are addressed. This is followed by presenting some leading principles for designing TLC-s. Important principles are: (i) creating subcommunities within large-scale online networks, (ii) combining online activities with face-to-face meetings, and, (iii) facilitating more equality in online group participation. These principles are illustrated by examples of real practices. Finally, main conditions for successful new online TLC-s are presented. Prospects for advanced studies of practices of these communities are also given. 3

5 Invited Speech: Graphogame a science-based learning environment for basic reading acquisition helping children globally Speaker: Prof. Heikki Lyytinen, University of Jyväskylä, Finland Time: 10:20-11:05, December 28, 2012 Location: Macao Room, 3rd floor, Conference Building Abstract The Graphogame-concept as well as the theoretical and empirical basis of this reading support tool used by hundreds of thousands Finnish children (see will be introduced with descriptions of how it has been and will be studied and distributed in different continents (see grapholearn.info). The goal is to help as many as possible of those hundreds of millions of people whose acquisition of basic reading skills is challenged by biological bottlenecks (dyslexia) and/or insufficient opportunity to receive appropriate instruction for learning to read. Promising starts have been made e.g. in Africawhere the latter reason affected opportunities of a majority of children in some countries such as Zambia - as shown with examples from our research to be illustrated by our Zambian presenter.poor reading skill compromises readiness to become employed with all the unwanted consequences this has to individuals and to the society as a whole. 4

ID: Toxic Effects of Nano-CuO, Micro-CuO and Cu2+ on Chlorella sp. This paper presents an ethnographic study of pupils within a trial programme (P2), aimed at developing an upper secondary education for so-called gamers who had Name: Goran Lange dropped out of school. It was done to follow up a previous trial programme (P1), Affiliation: Ocean University of China since many young persons have problems with school. The main question goranlange@gmail.com examined here is: When we found situations where the learning worked, by means Research Interests: Learning and Games of social responsitivity, what components were active? How were meaningful affordances created? The trials may be understood from a historical perspective on orality and literacy. Print enabled words to be embedded in space as indexes (tables, lists etc) rather than in time (as orality implies). The index is practiced at the core of traditional 13

15 school today, with attendance lists and schedules (controlling time and space) and schoolbooks (finalizing the word). Digital culture challenges these structures where the word is not as finalized, and literacy may include other modalities than writing. School is a culture conservative context, which fights back this transformation with more control, through the use of indexes and constraints on digital culture. As contrast, P2 replaced the schedule with full workdays. This enabled the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computer games, especially massively multiplayer online (MMO) games, as replacement for schoolbooks (not all books). The study is based on interviews with the pupils as well as daily participatory observations for two years. Further, data about attendance over two years and grades at the start and end of P2 are presented. The results show that most of the pupils returned to school, became interested in learning again and got grades. They expressed a sense of freedom, which is closely related to the voluntary aspect of playing a game. In other words, to do things for the sake of the actitivity itself, rather than some external learning goal. The paper concludes with a comparison between P2 and traditional school, based upon the study and suggests future research. A review of related research is also included.

ID: The Implications of Teachers' Professional Attributes on Assimilating a Computerized Learning and Management System in an Israeli School Assimilating processes of change in teaching methods and their application in school entail considerable difficulty. The teachers' ability and skills as a professional-pedagogic entity in the process of change is the first factor for the occurrence of radical change. This study examines the extent to which teachers' professional attributes predict resistance to change when assimilating a computerized learning management and teaching system (LMS) in school. Teachers from an experimental high school in Israel, which is participating in a 16

18 comprehensive reform to integrate a computerized LMS system into schools in Israel, participated in this study. A questionnaire regarding resistance to change was distributed to 60 teachers and analyzed using path analysis in structural equation modeling with the statistical AMOS 7.0 (Analysis of Moment Structures) Name: Orit Avidov-Ungar Affiliation: The Open University, Israel nogamar@biu.013.net.il software (Arbuckle, 2006). The findings indicate that a high level of computer Research Interests: quality teaching, literacy amongst teachers predicts low resistance to change; school seniority predicts high resistance to change, as does a key role in school. The contribution of the study lies in understanding that, till now, these attributes were considered to be pedagogic-technological autonomous schools innovation, background attributes. The study identifies their unique impact on the teachers' readiness to assimilate change in school. ID: Cogniton-based Enlightenment of Creative Thinking: Examplars in Computer Science It is reputed that Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, but it can also be noted that sometimes, 1% inspiration is more important than 99% perspiration. As this 1% is so important, can it be understood, and even learned? If so, how can cognition be used to enlighten a scientist's inspiration (creative thinking)? Both questions are considered on the basis of cognitive theory in the paper. We illustrate our ideas with examples from computer science.

Women in the predominantly Name: Jong Tae Youn male-oriented college of engineering which is afflicted by the high dropout rate and Affiliation: Pukyong National the low employment rate of coeds in their majoring fields because of the die-hard male dominant culture. In order to resolve the related problems, Our P University has University, Korea (South) jtyoun@pknu.ac.kr been actively engaged in a movement called WIEE to raise the gender cognitive awareness and to train women engineers for highly qualified work force. As part of the movement, WIEE program that focuses on the gender cognitive perspective is effective to reduce the dropout rate and to land a job inside their fields by stimulating their interest in their specialty made soft and hard skills. The study was conducted a survey of the coeds who have completed the women included education course to evaluate the degree of satisfaction perceived, and a t-test through comparing the group of the coeds and a group of coeds who have not taken the course. The results showed statistically significant responses indicating that this WIEE program was proved to induce interests in engineering from female students. It also helped them advance into the engineering fields. This may lay the foundation to offer other major engineering courses for juniors and seniors that emphasize the gender cognitive approach. 18
