SITE Interactive 2022 – Portrait of distance education practices adapted in Moroccan rural schools during the COVID-19 period and the co-development of corrective actions

As I mentioned in SITE Interactive 2022 and K-12 Online and Blended Learning, I’m attending this conference and wanted to blog some of the relevant sessions.  The tenth of which – and final one – is:

Portrait of distance education practices adapted in Moroccan rural schools during the COVID-19 period and the co-development of corrective actions

Abstract: Following the dispatch of the coronavirus epidemic, the ministry of education in Morocco replaced all face-to-face courses with distance education as an alternative option to allow for pedagogical continuity. Unfortunately, the sudden shift to distance learning has highlighted the shortcomings, vulnerabilities, and disparities in the education of learners. In addition, this educational opportunity remains out of reach for most children living in rural areas. According to the Haut Commissariat au Plan, Morocco’s national statistics office (HCP; 2020), 73.2 percent of primary school students were enrolled in distance learning at the time of delivery, with 80.8 percent in urban areas against 63.4 percent in rural areas. This article reviews distance education practices used in rural Morocco during the coronavirus period. We adapted semi-structured interviews in five schools, with different stockholders (school principals, teachers, students, parents). These interviews allowed us to first assess the teaching models used in their environment, then in a second step, to identify and plan corrective actions in these schools with a collaborative working group following the codesign approach. The results showed the implementation of several methods for educational continuity such as: the online portal “Tilmidtice”, national TV/radio channels, Microsoft Teams groups, social media, and distribution of books to the students to follow their courses from their houses.

This was the second of the two virtual papers that were presented that focused on K-12 distance, online, and/or blended learning. Unfortunately, beyond the addition of a set of keywords, the authors only uploaded the abstract for their paper.

Keywords: Accessibility; distance learning; hybrid learning; ICT; rural.

However, the authors did upload a PowerPoint file, which I believe is outside of the conference paywall.

SITE Interactive 2022 – A VIRTUAL SUMMER TECHNOLOGY CAMP’S IMPACT ON ELEMENTARY STUDENTS’ STEM ATTITUDES AND 21st CENTURY SKILLS: ITECH-STEM

As I mentioned in SITE Interactive 2022 and K-12 Online and Blended Learning, I’m attending this conference and wanted to blog some of the relevant sessions.  The ninth of which is:

A VIRTUAL SUMMER TECHNOLOGY CAMP’S IMPACT ON ELEMENTARY STUDENTS’ STEM ATTITUDES AND 21st CENTURY SKILLS: ITECH-STEM

Async Paper Presentation ID: 61564

Abstract: This paper presents research results of the Innovative Technology Challenges for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (ITECH-STEM) project developed for elementary-aged children through Technology focused “virtual” summer STEM camp. The ITECH-STEM project addresses gaps in the literature regarding educational uses of digital storytelling, programming and coding, game development, and 3-D modeling and printing. Research data collected on attitudes toward STEM subjects and careers, 21st-century skills, will be discussed. Data collected in the past years (2020 and 2021) will be analyzed and presented in the paper. Analysis of several years of data will include a comparison of mean scores of pre and post-test results of surveys administered during the ITECH-STEM program. The paper will also include a section of the “Lessons Learned” and “Best Practices” sections for STEM educators.

This was one of the two virtual papers that were presented that focused on K-12 distance, online, and/or blended learning.  Essentially, it was focused on a summer STEM camp that used to be in person, but had to move online due to COVID in 2020 – so the authors wanted to see if students learned as much and if their perceptions of the experience were similar in the different modalities.

SITE Interactive 2022 – Now Available! A New Openly-Licensed Book Series for K-12 Blended Teaching

Abstract: Despite the high demand for blended teachers, there are few open, research-backed resources that can be used when helping teachers develop blended teaching skills. The K-12 Blended Teaching Book Series features seven openly-licensed books with five more coming soon. The first book of the series, K-12 Blended Teaching: A Guide to Personalized Learning and Online Integration (2019) introduces four core skill areas for blended teachers. K-12 Blended Teaching (Vol. 2): A Guide to Practice Within the Disciplines introduces a number of content-specific editions of the series with real-world examples that deepen blended teaching knowledge and skills. Current content editions include Elementary Education, English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Each of these editions were created through partnering with classroom teachers who have experience with blended teaching in their content area. Overall, the series includes the work of five editors, nearly 20 authors, and nearly 30 model teachers, as well as 94 new videos about blended teaching and over 100 excerpts from interviews with model teachers. Additional content-specific editions are planned, or in progress, for Family and Consumer Science, Music, Physical and Health Education, and World Languages. This best practices session will highlight practices from current books in the series to demonstrate how K-12 teachers are using blended teaching to solve common problems of practice across disciplines.

This session was basically a history and overview of the book series the team have been doing at https://www.edtechbooks.org/k12blended_series and additional support videos at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8CwGR7qrOaWWNWPNpJqNCA/videos – which I encourage everyone to check out and reach out to Cecil if you are interested in getting involved in the larger project.
