Starting in 2010, one of the most important policies for the introduction of Digital Technologies in schools, in modalities 1 to 1, has been implemented in Argentina: The “Programa Conectar Igualdad” (PCI, for its acronym in Spanish). This program proposed two complementary goals: one related to digital inclusion, which far exceeds school's ambit, and another one related to the improvement of education...
Perception is the process of understanding our environment. If perception is not accurate or incorrect, problems with reading, spelling, handwriting, math and comprehension can be present. Eye care professionals must apply several tests to children to evaluate perceptual skills and suggest the most appropriate therapies to increase learning capacities. This paper presents PSR (Perceptual Skills Registry),...
Spiral Learning aims to strengthen students’ understanding of the basic concepts by revisiting the concepts periodically with different contexts and with increasing sophistication throughout the curriculum. This approach helps to overcome the limitations of the instructional design and delivery such as concepts taught in isolation and not being emphasized in later stages of learning leading to poor...
This paper presents a return of experience relative to per peers learning approach to teach industrial test of integrated circuits (IC) to undergraduate students from Polytech Montpellier, using the test platform of the CNFM. The objectives of this innovative approach are double: technical and educational. The students have to acquire knowledge and competencies about IC testing (test methods, test...
This study aims to identify evidence of variation levels of expectations and skills of beginners students in an undergraduate course in e-learning. From the questionnaires at the beginning and in the end of a discipline of course and after statistical graphics for treatment of data, the results showed that expectations of students to start the course in the e-learning were changed significantly during...
The aim of this paper is to design a simulator system for veterinary gastro copy. A non-virtual system which consists of a canine gastrointestinal model is proposed. This prototype system design includes a mechanism that emulates a gastroscope and software which allows determining the anatomical location in which the endoscope is located and help to improve the skills in spatial location.
The development of skills through active learning methodologies has been demonstrated to be appropriate in environments where students must acquire particular professional capacities. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) embeds strudents' learning processes in real-life problems so, they can integrate different subjects in a common project that they need to solve in a self-directed way. In this context, we...
Nowadays, we talk about the information society and knowledge, globalization, innovation, and, more particularly, skills, learning outcomes and the Bologna Process. These areas of knowledge are interconnected and large changes have happened very quickly. The aim of this work consists in the presentation of an identification model and skills' classification and learning outcomes, based on the official...
This paper examines the responsibilities and the required skills for Information Technology (IT) security professionals. Content analysis of relevant jobs postings helped identify four types of positions and the associated responsibilities and requisite skills. The identified skills were further analyzed to assess their consistency with the identified responsibilities. Finally, the Body of Knowledge...
The student projects done in Computer Science and Engineering suffers from the following problems: poorly managed requirements, poor or no design and poor or no testing. Students generally tend to focus more on coding phase of the project, since the misconception is that a large code constitutes good software. Unlike other branches of engineering, the engineering processes are not visible here. Further,...
Traditional conception of ICT education and employment analysis has devoted a great effort to determine specific technical knowledge and skills needed for a successful professional career. However, competency-based approach for Human Resources (HR) management in organizations has finally changed this approach pushing more interest in non technical skills, the so-called soft skills. This paper presents...
As Malaysia strengthens its position as an outsourcing hub, there continues to be many job opportunities in information technology in Malaysia. This paper looks at the ranking of open source software skills in demand. Further, it provides insights into graduates' perception of usefulness for courses using open source software versus proprietary software at a local institution of higher learning.
In this paper we present the results of a two day workshop - a set of functional roles performed by software engineers during their first year and the knowledge and skill requirements that enable them in playing these roles. An effective curriculum that is aligned with needs of our business units is designed (for our entry level training program) based on the results of the workshop.
