An Experimental Study of Constructing Maker Teaching Model (Educational Journal ; Vol.49, No.2) Year of publication: 2021 Author: 沈翠莲 Makers studying at university are the main powerful pioneers for developing innovative knowledge society. This research aimed to construct a feasible model of maker teaching, to explore the differences of learning perception of the maker instructional model, and to develop the subsequent process of product creation. Nonequivalent pretest-posttest designs of the quasi-experimental research was employed. Research participants included 132 college students from three classes of creativity-related courses, who participated a 6-week experiment. They were divided into the experimental group and two control groups. A questionnaire was employed to test their differences of learning perception. Results found that: (a) for the maker instructional model, CEO-I2M2E2-SF, a collaborative constructive relationship should be built between instructor and makers; (b) in terms of the performances of learning perception under the maker instructional model, significant differences were found in the dimensions of creativity, creative problem solving, and maker instructional design; (c) there were educational and marketing values in the subsequent process of product creation by makers. 
Imagining the Classroom Full of Learning in the Future: Effective Teaching With Social Constructive Learning (Educational Journal ; Vol.48, No.2) Year of publication: 2020 Author: 洪瑜佩 This article used an observation scale, together with literature exploration and film observation, to imagine the future classroom. From literature review, it was found that constructivist teaching helps students acquire new knowledge and develop cognition through connecting new and old knowledge. Teaching with the social constructivism approach regards learning as the result of interaction with society and culture. This article aimed to explore the social constructivist teaching context, as well as to observe which aspects and connotations teachers should pay attention to in curriculum arrangement. The researcher amended the observation scale designed by Good & Lavigne (2018) with five steps: (a) raising questions;(b) collaboration and suggestions; (c) assessment and discussions; (d) application to scenarios; and (e) summarizing knowledge. Teachers’ teaching was observed and assessed based on the five steps. The following results were found: (a) students should have the responsibilities of learning;(b) teachers must have good questioning and guidance skills; (c) teachers need to incorporate learning into real-life situations; (d) students’ cognition must be reviewed and monitored frequently. The researcher believes that a classroom full of learning is not imaginary. Teachers already have the ability to construct effective classrooms and should treat students as the learning agent. 
Learning Outcomes of Fifth and Sixth Graders in a Computer Course Using a Virtual Reality Website for Learning (Educational Journal ; Vol.48, No.1) Year of publication: 2020 Author: 曹永庆 | 林佳禾 In recent years, the use of virtual reality (VR) in games and teaching has become increasingly popular. The boundless nature of the Web and the uniqueness of multimedia in VR greatly enhance peer interaction as well as the interaction between learners and virtual objects on Webpages.Elementary schoolchildren’s habits of using Webpages depends upon the navigation interface design of the Webpages. Therefore, understanding the effectiveness of schoolchildren’s visual interaction with Webpages will help implement VR into Websites for schoolchildren.The purpose of this experiment was to explore the learning outcomes of 60 Taiwanese fifth and sixth graders in a computer course using VR Webpages. The experiment involved students learning through the tasks set on the VR Web platform “CoSpaces EDU.” The differences in their learning outcomes on the “5C key competencies” (i.e., communication and coordination skills, teamwork capabilities, problem-solving skills, independent thinking capabilities, and creativity) before and after the experiment were compared.Based on the results of expert assessment and students’ self-evaluation, paired-samples t test was conducted to compare the learning outcomes before and after implementing the VR teaching. Results show that the fifth and sixth graders were found to exhibit excellent 5C competencies after the experiment. 
SDG 4 Scorecard: Progress Report on National Benchmarks; Focus on Teachers Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Statistic (UIS) | Global Education Monitoring Report Team This is the second assessment of country progress towards the benchmarks, or national targets, that countries have set for eight SDG 4 indicators to mark their contribution to the global targets. The assessment covers the period since 2015 and reviews the probability that each country will achieve its 2025 benchmark or – where such a benchmark was not set – the value they would have achieved if they had progressed at the historic (2000–15) rate of the fastest improving 25% of countries.The 2024 SDG 4 Scorecard finds that progress towards national targets is off track for most indicators. In two cases – the gender gap at the expense of boys in upper secondary education completion and public education expenditure as share of total public expenditure – countries are even moving backwards.In contrast, progress is faster in the eighth benchmark indicator, school internet connectivity, which was added following the priority given to digital transformation at the Transforming Education Summit in 2022. One third of countries set national targets in 2023 and progress on the indicator is being reviewed for the first time in this edition.Progress is also relatively fast in the percentage of teachers with minimum required qualifications, which is also the focus indicator of this edition. New evidence is presented on national policies for minimum required qualification levels to enter the teaching profession, compulsory continuous professional development policies, and teacher training policies on technology in education.

Bank of Digital Task Sheets Corporate author: Council of Europe Around forty sheets of tasks anchored in real life and reflective tasks are available. The proposed tasks implement the didactic framework that promotes a socio-interactional approach and extends the usual typology of tasks with tasks anchored in real life.These tasks, carried out on online participatory sites, allow the people who carry them out to experience both authentic (inter)actions and digital citizenship.Alongside these tasks, reflective tasks invite learners to reflect on online practices and in particular on their own uses of digital technology. They are to be adapted according to the contexts of use and provide examples of the implementation of the approach defined in the Didactic Framework.
