3. Tele-Learning and Distance Learning Re-Engineering Process. (ED449964)
Cruz, Dulce Marcia; de Moraes, Marialice; Barcia, Ricardo Miranda
Descriptors: Cognitive Style; Constructivism (Learning); Continuing Education; Distance Education; Educational Environment; Foreign Countries; Interactive Television; Internet; Learning Processes; Telecommunications
Abstract: The adoption and use of new interactive technologies in Distance Education, especially Tele-learning is a growing tendency in the most advanced countries. Nowadays, this tendency is so strong that being interactive is seen as a necessary pre-condition. Some reasons for this are a the growing perceived value of group-working; the popularization of the constructivist model, where the process and context in which the learning happens has a significative value; the lowering prices of telecommunication equipment and transmission costs, that facilitates its application to a wide variety of purpose and objectives. Tele-learning may be seen as an answer to the demand for open and flexible learning, using different technologies, in different context, among different levels and learning styles. It also attends to the pedagogical and curricular questions of different institutions, educational or not, as well as to different philosophical and strategic goals. The intent of this article is to discuss problems, benefits and other questions that the adoption of Tele-learning poses to Brazilian reality. The article analyses current research in Technology Based Distance Education and compares it to the results of a research conducted with 87 students and 6 teachers of two Engineering Masters' Degrees offered by the PPGEP (The Graduate Program in Production Engineering of The Federal University of Santa Catarina, UFSC) for private organizations. In these Masters Programs, PPGEP has been using state-of-the-art Video Conferencing (two-way video) equipment for lectures and a selection of Internet based tools to provide students and teachers with an interactive environment outside classroom activities. The first results indicate that Tele-learning allows not only an improvement of the teaching-learning process but also a pedagogical re-engineering, through the combination of different pedagogical techniques with the available technological resources, as never seen before.

4. The Improvement of the Learning Process of Basic Disciplines at the Engineering Design. (ED442624)
de Oliveira, Vanderli Fava; Borges, Marcos Martins; Naveiro, Ricardo Manfredi
Reports - Research
Descriptors: Curriculum Development; Design; Engineering Education; Engineering Graphics; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; Learning Processes; Reflective Teaching; Teaching Methods
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to reflect upon Engineering Education, starting from experiments that have been carried out at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), aiming to improve the learning process of the content of basic drawing disciplines concerned with graphic representation, which are subjects of the initial terms of the courses of Civil Engineering and Architecture. Those experiments are, as well, the basis of research done for a master's degree course and for a doctorate, in the field of Technological Innovation and Industrial Organization of the Production Engineering Program of the Engineering Programs Coordination (COPPE) of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), under the orientation of Professor Ricardo Naveiro. The experiments were structured beginning with, among other factors, the verification of the students demotivation for the study of such disciplines, linked to great difficulty in the learning process of the same. One reason for this situation is the students' difficulties in concretely understanding the practical application of those disciplines. The obtained results have demonstrated a radical change in the students' view of basic disciplines of graphic representation and have beneficially influenced the motivation for the study of those disciplines. Besides that, the student begins to have a realistic perception of the chosen habilitation right in the initial terms of the course, which would only happen before with the "engineering applied disciplines" or the so-called "professionalizing cycle" which are ministered in the second half of the course.

Reports - Research; Reports - Evaluative
Descriptors: Adult Education; Adult Students; Evaluation Criteria; Evaluation Methods; Experiential Learning; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; Prior Learning; Student Evaluation
Abstract: A project was conducted to develop, monitor, and evaluate schemes for assessing the prior experiential learning of individuals enrolling in polytechnic institutes and colleges. A total of 12 evaluation schemes at 15 educational institutions throughout Great Britain were examined. The evaluation schemes studied had been developed to assess the prior learning of students enrolled in such courses of study as production engineering, business, social studies, computing and information technology, and mechanical engineering. Twelve of the schemes studied eventually became operational in 11 of the institutions. Assessment of prior learning was found to work best when the responsibility for demonstrating prior learning was placed with the student and when there were clear separations between experience as a source of learning and experience per se, identification and assessment of prior learning, and the academic functions of helping students prepare evidence of learning and assessing that learning. Four approaches to assessment were found to be successful--formally organized classes, tutorials, instruments and manuals, and interviews. The adult students whose prior learning was assessed used the information in a variety of ways, such as to obtain admission to degree courses, obtain employment, advance in their careers, change their career direction, or find contentment where they are. (Nine appendixes provide information on prior learning evaluation at six selected institutions plus suggestions for standardizing assessment information.)

Abstract: Designed to provide a listing of knowledge, skills, and abilities (collectively known as KSAs) that could be used by public broadcasting stations for recruitment, selection, promotion, evaluation, training, and staff career development, this document addresses three key broadcasting personnel areas. These areas are programming/production, engineering/operations, and promotion/development. Individuals in the selected key positions completed interviews and questionnaires to supply information about tasks performed. Their responses formed a listing of possible job tasks which was included in a final questionnaire sent to 500 public broadcasters. This survey gathered information on the frequency of performance of tasks, their difficulty, and whether or not they included a supervisory component. Also generated was a list of KSAs needed to perform each task. Nine tables list the crucial KSAs for the areas of: production; programming; technical and operations; promotion and development; and supervision tasks. Also included are lists of specific tasks that constitute each position, as well as brief information on how training needs assessment data may be used to develop or evaluate training, suggestions for conducting training programs and acquiring training resources, and other uses for training needs assessment data.
