Open Educational Resources and Practices in China: A Systematic Literature Review

The concepts of Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP), regarded as two pillars of the broader open education movement, have been evolving since the concept of OER was first coined in the 2012 Paris Declaration. Several research studies have been conducted to investigate the impacts of OER and OEP adoption and implementation in universities. However, most of those studies have focused on western and developed countries, and little information is known about developing countries, especially Asian ones. Particularly, China was one of the first Asian countries to adopt open education and its related strategies following the MIT OpenCourseWare conference in Beijing in 2003. This study conducts a systematic literature review to investigate the current state of the art of OER and OEP in China. The findings show that several governmental, organizational, and institutional initiatives have been launched to facilitate OER adoption in China. They also show that while several OEPs have been implemented, there is still a continuous need to work on these practices and further investigate their impacts on learning outcomes and behaviors, as no current reviewed study has done so. Finally, a generic framework of OER and OEP challenges is presented along with recommendations to further enhance the adoption of OER and OEP in China.

“…Despite the potential of robots in learning, a systematic review has shown that to have an impact on learning gains, they need to be skilfully used by teachers to attend to the students' needs. Otherwise, learning gains are not visible [Spolaôr and Benitti 2017].…”

This work explores a group learning scenario with an autonomous empathic robot. We address two research questions: (1) Can an autonomous robot designed with empathic competencies foster collaborative learning in a group context? (2) Can an empathic robot sustain positive educational outcomes in long-term collaborative learning interactions with groups of students? To answer these questions, we developed an autonomous robot with empathic competencies that is able to interact with a group of students in a learning activity about sustainable development. Two studies were conducted. The first study compares learning outcomes in children across 3 conditions: learning with an empathic robot; learning with a robot without empathic capabilities; and learning without a robot. The results show that the autonomous robot with empathy fosters meaningful discussions about sustainability, which is a learning outcome in sustainability education. The second study features groups of students who interact with the robot in a school classroom for two months. The long-term educational interaction did not seem to provide significant learning gains, although there was a change in game-actions to achieve more sustainability during game-play. This result reflects the need to perform more long-term research in the field of educational robots for group learning.

“…Furthermore, provide LEGO Mindstorms NXT meets the basic education and professional orientation demands of high school students focusing on automation, control systems, robotics, etc [21]. Use the robot as a teaching tool, grounded learning theories can support lessons that are not directly related to Robotics in higher education [22]. Besides, ER also efficiently uses in classes on science's subject and math cycle [4].…”

Computational Thinking (CT) has been becoming prominent in educational literature for its appeal as an alternative for problem-solving. The teaching of CT skill in secondary and higher education, however, remains the focus of scholarly research in the mainstream databases. A literature review was carried out to examine the use of robots and computational thinking skill in childhood. Three different databases and digital libraries were nominated for their vast number of papers and the wide coverage of readership. Specific keywords applied in the literature analysis were computational thinking and educational robotics to early childhood. This paper amasses the understanding of the impact CT on education suggested in the literature. The discussion section elaborates the advantage of educational robotics to improve CT skill, various means CT achievement assessment and adoption robotics to improve learning pertinent to early childhood education. Finally, the paper proposes the importance of study CT in early childhood education.
