New Media and Learning in the 21st Century

Abstract

Education holds the key to unlock human resources that a society needs to survive and flourish. This is particularly salient in a borderless knowledge economy. For the past decades, the sterling performance of economies such as Hong Kong, Finland, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan in international studies (e.g. TIMSS, PIRLS and PISA) has channeled much attention away from the traditional centers of education research in America and Western Europe. Researchers, policy makers and practitioners all over the world wish to understand how education innovations propel the emerging systems from good to great to excellent, and how different their trajectories were compared to the systems in America and Western Europe.The Education Innovation Book Series, published by Springer, will delve into education innovations enacted by the Singapore education system and situate them in both the local and the broader international contexts. Primary focus will be given to pedagogy and classroom practices; education policy formulation and implementation; school and instructional leadership; and the context and interface between education research, policy and practice. We believe that the latter is critical in making education innovations come to bear. Each volume will document insights and lessons learned based on empirical research (both quantitative and qualitative) and theoretical analyses. Implications to research, policy and professional practice will be surfaced through comparing and synthesizing Singapore's experience with those of successful systems around the world.The audience of the edited volumes and monographs published in this series includes researchers, policy makers, practitioners and students in the fields of education and teacher education, and public policies related to learning and human resources.

Technology integration for students’ information and digital literacy education in academic libraries

“…In addition to technological advancement, many researchers recognize its negative effects on younger generations to become anti-social and distort the existing etiquette (Tsatsou, 2016;Chen and Lin, 2014). Effective digital literacy instructions, therefore, requires the cooperative efforts of trained mentors, latest courses, technological roadmap, mutual respect and trust between teachers and students (Mohammadyari and Singh, 2015;Gonick, 2006). Cultivating students' research skills, library and information science specialists as an education ambassador and cultural agents need to shape the field of modern technological lines (Chac on et al, 2015); Mangual Figueroa et al, 2015).…”

Indonesian teachers manage their lesson plans in learning prose

“…Students will succeed in the learning process if students are interested in the learning process and get satisfaction. Learning should be carried out in a pleasant atmosphere (Lin et al, 2015;Papa, 2015;Willison, 2020).…”

The Needs of Technology Transformation in French Literature Learning

“…For example, social media such as Whatsapp, Facebook, or Twitter can be used as learning media (Bosch, 2009;Jovanovic & Leeuwen, 2018;Tay & Allen, 2011). The various features presented not only support the interaction system between users but also can share documents and files which of course are needed in teaching and learning activities (Gonick, 2015). In addition to its various features, this social media can be implemented easily because students are already familiar with the technology.…”
