An essential text for researchers and academics seeking the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of all aspects of e-learning and ICT in education, this book is a multidisciplinary forum covering technical, pedagogical, organizational, instructional and policy aspects of the topic. Representing the best peer-reviewed papers from the 8th Panhellenic Conference on ICT in Education, special emphasis is given to applied research relevant to educational practice and guided by the educational realities in schools, colleges, universities and informal learning organizations. The volume encompasses the current trends and issues which determine and inform the integration of ICT in educational practice, including educational software, educational games, collaborative learning, virtual learning environments, social networks, learning analytics, digital museums, as well as the evolution of e-learning.

While computational technologies are transforming the professional practice of mathematics, as yet they have had little impact on school mathematics. This pioneering text develops a theorized analysis of why this is and what can be done to address it. It examines the particular case of symbolic calculators (equipped with computer algebra systems) in secondary education. Drawing on a substantial program of French innovation and research, as well as closely related studies from Australia and the Netherlands, it provides rich illustrations of the many aspects of technology integration, and of the ways in which these are shaped at different levels of the educational institution. This text offers the first English-language exposition of how an innovative synthesis of the theories of instrumentation and didactics can be used to illuminate the complexities of technology integration. It offers important guidance for policy and practice through its analysis of the central role of the teacher and its identification of key principles for effective didactical design and management. These distinctive features make this book essential reading for researchers, teacher educators, and graduate students in mathematics education and technology in education, as well as for teachers of mathematics at upper-secondary and university levels. This is a revised, English-language edition of D. Guin & L. Trouche (Eds.) (2002) Calculatrices symboliques. Transformer un outil en un instrument de travail mathématique: un problème didactique (Editions La Pensée Sauvage, Grenoble).

Si la décennie 1960 a vu le lancement de nombreuses opérations audiovisuelles en éducation, l'intérêt des pouvoirs publics s'est déplacé, à partir de 1970, vers l'informatique. En 1985, le plan informatique pour tous a marqué l'apogée de cet intérêt, et un processus de banalisation s'est alors engagé. Dix ans plus tard, l'attention s'est déplacée vers le multimédia, internet et les technologies de la communication, perçus comme un phénomène nouveau aux potentialités considérables. Comment ces nouvelles technologies, toutes associées à l'informatique, vont-elles s'intégrer dans le système éducatif ? Que peuvent-elles y changer ? Peut-on dire que les vagues technologiques successives se brisent sur le monolithe de l'institution scolaire sans l'entamer, ou bien gagnent-elles petit à petit du terrain ? Fondé sur une série de recherches récentes, ce livre se penche sur ces questions, en se focalisant sur les usagers de l'informatique en milieu éducatif. S'adressant à un large public, il fournit des clés pour comprendre les évolutions récentes, et propose une réflexion sur les perspectives d'intégration dans le système scolaire de l'informatique et des technologies qui lui sont associées.

The relationship between technological and pedagogical innovation has recently created a new field of research at the crossroads between Psychology, Educational Sciences and Artificial Intelligence: Educational Robotics (ER). Through analysis of the achievable educational goals based on the technological status and specific learning modes of different types of robots, it is possible to define three pedagogical paradigms: learning robotics, learning with robotics, and learning by robotics. In this book we address these three paradigms through three themes: human representations of robots, the acceptance and trust shown when interacting with a humanoid, and learning favored by the development and programming of robots in an educational context. These themes allow the authors to fully explore, define and delimit this novel field of research for future application in educational and social contexts. Finally, the book discusses contributions and limitations which have emerged from different methodologies of research, potential educational applications, and concepts of human–robot interaction for the development of the above paradigms.
