Use of Digital Whiteboard to Engage Undergraduates in Online Studies of Instructor-Generated Biological Diagrams.

ABSTRACTThe development of critical thinking skills is one of the core values of higher education. As an important aspect of visual literacy in the core competencies of undergraduate biology teaching, diagram learning activities have been shown to facilitate students’ gains in understanding biology concepts and improving critical thinking skills. To address a need to scaffold students’ learning processes of the higher-order cognitive skills in Bloom’s Taxonomy via diagram, we have developed an instructional tool using diagrams for online and in-person classes. This teaching and learning tool utilizes a digital canvas created in Microsoft Whiteboard. A diagram of a certain complexity is designed and created by the instructor to model the critical thinking linked to the taught content. Students can work simultaneously to fill in the blanks of the diagram using provided terms and phrases that are derived from lecture slides and aligned with course learning objectives. A moderator, either a peer leader or the instructor, can use this online whiteboard to observe and advise students for their study activities and engage students in discussions in real-time. This customized teaching tool may be particularly useful for introductory biology courses to train first-year students and sophomores to learn biological concepts and mechanisms. More importantly, it helps students comprehend and learn the critical thinking skills embedded in the provided diagrams to prepare them to conduct more complex diagram activities and generate their own diagrams.

IWB integration in the school subject Science

This study investigates the integration of the interactive whiteboard (IWB) into Science teaching during the primary educational cycle and teachers’ perceptions about the use of the information and communication technology (ICT) in the school subject Science. An online questionnaire was distributed to Croatian schools in 2015/2016. A total of 104 teachers expressed their perceptions, 65 of them were from schools without an IWB, while the remaining 39 responded to our online questionnaire from schools with an implemented IWB. The results indicate the higher usage of ICT in schools with an IWB compared to schools without an IWB. Teachers use IWBs and computers mostly once or twice per week and DVDs once per week. Additional results pointed to the positive teachers’ perceptions on technology in linking student motivation to outcome levels in science. The findings reveal the constant education focused on IWB integration, and internet and technical support as a starting point for an innovative practice in science. Future studies are directed to the investigation of the use of technology in all schools in the Republic of Croatia.

Measuring Perceived Attributes of the Interactive Whiteboard for the Mathematics Class

The main purpose of the current study was to develop and validate a scale of perceived attributes of the interactive whiteboard (IW) for the mathematics class. Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory served as the theoretical framework. Two groups of participants in Turkey were employed in this study. The first group consisted of 350 middle school students (177 female, 173 male). The second group consisted of 557 high school students (288 female, 269 male). The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported construct validity. However, not enough evidence was available to support its convergent and discriminant validity. The results of multigroup analysis supported measurement invariance across two schools—one middle school and one high school. The perceptions of students toward IW were generally positive. We believe that the scale developed for this study can be used in schools in which IW has been implemented and may contribute to educational technology reform efforts by providing metrics for the degree of success in implementing IW specifically and possibly other forms of instructional technology.

Challenges and Solutions for Teachers' Use of Interactive Whiteboards in High Schools

The paper reports on the challenges teachers encountered in the use of interactive whiteboards in high schools to make improvement. The Gauteng Department of Basic Education's robust paperless initiative of introducing tablets, interactive whiteboards (IWBs), and smart classrooms in all public schools in Gauteng Province, motivated this study. In addition, little is known about teachers' academic self-efficacy when using an IWB-based teaching method. It was found that teachers experienced challenges in utilizing the IWB in teaching and learning. Participants were 123 teachers from four high schools in Tshwane North District, Gauteng, South Africa. More than half (57.8%) of the teachers were females. Most of the teachers (92.7%) received formal training on the use of IWBs. The mixed method was applied to better understand the phenomenon. Observation and individual semi-structured interviews were used to collect data for the qualitative aspect. On the other hand, Bandura's adapted problem-solving self-efficacy survey questionnaire was used to address the quantitative part. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 frequency distributions and percentages. On the other hand, qualitative data were analyzed with the aid of Atlas ti. The results show that 75.6% of the teachers indicated that they cannot solve problems at 90% when using IWBs in class. The challenges found in this study relate to technic, teaching material and lessons, lack of engagement, health, and lack of electricity. It was indicated that if teachers could adopt positive problem orientation, they could be successful in solving the problem with the use of IWBs. It is necessary to investigate the efficacy of the solutions presented in this study when using IWBs.
