Digital learners and the overlapping of their personal and educational digital engagement

Enhancing the reading culture among language education graduate students through emerging technologies

“…Integrating emerging technologies in the pedagogical process has been a huge challenge for many teachers and lecturers in high school and universities, respectively (Atkinson and Swaggerty 2011;Ng'ambi et al 2012Ng'ambi et al , 2013. Although earlier assessment of integrating emerging technologies in pedagogical considerations depended on institutional resources Bates and Sangra 2011), current research has gradually shifted to students; since the latter possess and utilize emerging technologies in a wider social spectrum Gurung and Rutledge 2014).…”

“…The personal digital engagement (PDE) or personal use of technology is becoming crucial in deciding learners' educational digital engagement (Gurung and Rutledge 2014;Oliver and Curtin 2007). Cell phones and internet have become part and parcel of learners' social lives and providing educational affordances that had not been thought of by the end-user before.…”

“…In this case, computer skills in knowledge search and management is important, and the learner's level of digital identity (DI) is essential. Digital identity entails digital learners' engagement with the available technologies at home and school, and is geared towards attaining educational and social objectives (Gurung and Rutledge 2014).…”

3 Digitalt innfødte eller digitalt velfødde?

“…Det å kalle dagens unge for digitalt innfødte og ta for gitt at de har gode digitale ferdigheter bare fordi de er vokst opp med digitale medier, blir en forenkling av et komplekst bilde. Ulike studier viser at det er store individuelle forskjeller i unges bruk av teknologi (Erstad, 2013;Gurung & Rutledge, 2014), og det er behov for flere studier av hva ungdommer faktisk bruker digitale medier til (Selwyn, 2009). Flere forskere er også opptatt av faren for et skille mellom dem som er aktive brukere av digitale medier, og dem som ikke utvikler digitale ferdigheter (Hargittai & Shaw, 2014).…”

Factors Influencing Student Engagement and the Role of Technology in Student Engagement in Higher Education: Campus-Class-Technology Theory

“…In addition, it is also important to investigate the factors influencing their campus engagement and class engagement as well as the relationship of these factors. When the related literature is examined, it is seen that there are some studies conducted to examine the relationship between technology and student engagement (Bouta, Retalis and Paraskeva, 2012;Gebre, Saroyan and Bracewell, 2014;Gurung and Rutledge, 2014;Veira, Leacock and Warrican, 2014); however, there is still a need for further research to investigate in detail the role and influence of technology on student engagement. Therefore, the present study is important as it aimed at determining the views of students about student engagement and examining in detail the research data to be collected with two different data collection techniques.…”
