  • Constructing sustainable urban futures: from models to competing pathways
    Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal, 2001
    Co-Authors: Simon Guy, Simon Marvin
    Abstract:

    This paper begins to build a conceptual framework that acknowledges the multiplicity of pathways towards different sustainable futures that often co-exist within a single city. There are three stages to the argument: the shift from the concept of a singular towards multiple models of what the sustainable city might become; the rejection of the simplistic use of models and the development of competing pathways to sustainable cities; and the recognition that a wide diversity of sustainable urban futures are likely to coexist within a single city. The analytical framework of social constructivist Theory developed here usefully demonstrates the contingent and contextual nature of technological innovation and building design.

  • OST - Social Learning Analytics to Study Teachers’ Large-Scale Professional Networks
    IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Riina Vuorikari, Santi Scimeca
    Abstract:

    A growing interest in research focuses on teachers’ large-scale socio-technical networks. Social learning approaches such as social constructivist Theory is well established, however, the current challenges lie in creating reliable methods to gather evidence of how and under which conditions social learning takes place in such socio-technical networks and how does it support teachers’ lifelong learning goals. The field of Learning Analytics (LA) addresses the issue of individual learners, whereas Social Learning Analytics (SLA) addresses that of groups’ processes in knowledge construction.

  • Social Learning Analytics to Study Teachers’ Large-Scale Professional Networks

    Co-Authors: Riina Vuorikari, Santi Scimeca
    Abstract:

    A growing interest in research focuses on teachers’ large-scale socio-technical networks. Social learning approaches such as social constructivist Theory is well established, however, the current challenges lie in creating reliable methods to gather evidence of how and under which conditions social learning takes place in such socio-technical networks and how does it support teachers’ lifelong learning goals. The field of Learning Analytics (LA) addresses the issue of individual learners, whereas Social Learning Analytics (SLA) addresses that of groups’ processes in knowledge construction.The eTwinning action is used as a case study for applying the concepts of Social Learning Analytics. Our interest is on teachers’ co-operation behaviour and patterns within a socio-technical network and how that can support teachers’ continuous professional development. The eTwinning platform currently hosts more than 160000 European teachers. We first introduce the underlying pedagogical and lifelong learning related assumptions regarding teachers’ co-operation. To better understand the type of activities that teachers undertake in eTwinning, they are classified according to the OECD‘s indices for teachers’ co-operation. This creates the core of the eTwinning Analytics framework, which operationalises activities and allows them to be better measured and monitored. A snapshot of data from the platform is used as a proof of concept.

  • Information Technology in biology teaching: challenges and opportunities
    Journal of Biological Education, 1997
    Co-Authors: Leonard R. Newton
    Abstract:

    This article describes some thoughts on potential gains, obstacles, and development strategies for IT in biology teaching This article considers the place of Information Technology in biological education. It addresses some of the obstacles to its greater use as well as potential benefits. A rationale is offered, drawing on social constructivist Theory, which asserts the role of the teacher as architect of students' learning experiences. Some strategies are offered for developing IT use in biological education.
