This will enable an evaluation of the Return On Investment (ROI) using the new concept of Yield Index “e-lYI” (e-learning Yield Index), introduced in this study. The Yield Index “e-lYI” suggests an original way to evaluate the implementation of e-learning methodologies into campus based environments; still, the new index will help professionals involved in the management of the transition from ...

While the effectiveness of one-on-one human tutoring has been well established, a great deal of controversy surrounds the issue of which features of tutorial dialogue separate effective uses of dialogue in tutoring from those that are less effective. In this paper we present a formal comparison of Socratic versus Didactic style tutoring that argues in favor of the Socratic tutoring style.

This study evaluated physical education knowledge according to gender, secondary school programme, year of study and type of knowledge. The results of multivariate analysis of variance show that the programme of study had the highest impact (20.2% of the variance) on both dependent variables (conceptual and specific knowledge), the impact of gender was about half as high (11.7% of the variance)...

Recently, distance learning (DL) has made great achievements in the area of communication space development and the automatic administration of educational processes [1]. Considerably less attention has been paid to the particularities of didactic materials design for DL. The authors claim that a special methodology of didactic material design, based on a cognitive approach, has to be developed...

in this paper we revisit the classical approach of the didactic triangle designed for the classical learning situation (face to face) and adapt it to the situation of an adaptive learning system, we discuss also the different components involved in this didactic triangle and how they interact and influence the learning process in an adaptive learning system.

In this paper, the qualifications considered essential by teaching professionals to be effective in pedagogical and didactic work are put together based on the results of a national survey carried out in Greece, to which secondary education teachers of all subjects contributed. One of the aims of this study was to systematically record the qualifications deemed essential by teachers for them to...

Internet-based informatics systems increasingly influence real-life situations. Competencies for Internet applications and services have to be explicitly attained because not observable processes and invisible structures have to be considered. There are examples of successful learning processes for selected parts of the Internet. A systematic analysis of educational requirements and a derived d...

Recent research in science education recommends the development of didactic resources that approach relations between Science, Technology and Society [STS] and articulate formal and non-formal educational contexts such as science museums and centres, the Internet and television. We consider it’s important to implement those recommendations through the use of ICT in science education. Therefore ...
