Technologization of Innovative Educational Processes in Higher Education Establishments

The needs of Ukraine’s economic development require the creation of new, innovative technologies that take into account changes in the social and spiritual life of young people, the need to form a harmonious personality and optimize the learning process. New pedagogical technologies are aimed primarily at “providing conditions for self-realization of student’s essential capabilities in various kinds of theoretical and practical activities, in dynamic life in the new market conditions”.
 An essential feature of modern innovation processes in the field of education and upbringing is their technologization – a strict compliance with the content and sequence of stages of innovation implementation.
 The difference between technology and methodology is a fundamental issue for modern pedagogics. Technology and methodology are distinguished by two main points: the guarantee of the final outcome and planning of the future educational process.
 The varieties of personality-centered pedagogical technologies include personality developmental teaching, productive teaching, personalized teaching and technology of higher labor, self-development, technology of humanism.
 Analyzing the features of higher pedagogical education technologization, the attention should be paid to an increase in the need for the use of new information technologies in the training of new generation specialists for modern educational systems. New information technologies (NIT) are defined as a set of methods and technological means of collecting, organizing, storing, processing, transmitting and presenting information that increases people’s knowledge and develops their capabilities to manage technological and social problems.
 Pedagogical technology is interpreted according to three aspects: the scientific aspect (pedagogical technology as a component of pedagogical science that creates pedagogical processes in pedagogical systems); procedural and descriptive aspect (description, process algorithm, a set of goals, content of methods and means to achieve guaranteed results according to the goal); procedural and effectual aspect (implementation of the technological process, functioning of all personal tools).

Full Modified Ordinary Least Square Analysis of the Relationship between New Technologies of Information, Financial Development and Growth in WAEMU Zone

This paper aims to study the relationship between financial development, information, and communication technology (ICTs) diffusion and economic growth by examining the effects of interactions between finance and ICT on economic growth. The study covers eight West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries and spans the period from 2000 to 2018. The empirical results, after applying the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimator can be generalized as follows. First, regardless of the financial development indicator used, the empirical results show that financial development negatively influences economic growth in the WAEMU. This counter-intuitive relationship may be related to many phenomena, but there are no clear explanations in the literature yet. Second, ICTs diffusion improves economic growth in the zone. This implies that WAEMU countries should strengthen their ICTs policies and improve the use of new information and communication technologies. Finally, the interaction between ICTs diffusion and financial development is positive and significant in explaining growth. This implies that the economies of the WAEMU region can only benefit from financial development once a level of ICTs development is reached.

Contribution of the New Technologies of Information and Communication in Patients’ Security in Lubumbashi Clinics University

Introduction: in the health domain, new technologies of information and communication have brought up fantastic contribution according to the quality of care and the security of patients. Objective: this preliminary approach has to describe and to determine the contribution of NTIC (New technology of information and communication) to improve the quality of the security of patients in the university clinics of Lubumbashi. Method: The study of this work took place at the University clinics of Lubumbashi from April up to August 2019. The descriptive analysis has been selected as a method in the quantitative approach. The collection of data has been done through a set of questions. After choosing judiciously, only the welfare officers at last fourteen (14) investigated people were chosen. Outcome: computers (in 85, 7% of wards and also telephones for them (14, 3%) were found again. During the investigation, 14, 28% of computers were broken down. Those machines were used for stocking and archiving information (53, 85% of services, invoicing (in 15, 38), the transmission of information 15, 38% and 7, 69% were using these computers and telephones for the administration in secretary’s office. Nevertheless, 71, 4% of investigated people have confirmed that the new technologies of information and technologies have contributed for the safety of patients. Whereas 14, 3% of patients were complaining for being dehumanized when using the NTIC. Conclusion: to University Clinics, their use of NTIC still is limited. Services are only equipped with computers and mobiles. These technologies should be really integrated and used for improving the quality of care and the safety of patients.

Towards a Blockchain-Based Smart Farm Agricultural Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Africa is considered one of the agricultural superpowers, with 60% of the global arable land. As a result of the increase in the population and the growing demand for agricultural products, the agri-food sector is resorting to the use of New Technologies of Information and Communication. With the fourth industrial revolution, it is now possible to integrate technologies such as the Blockchain and the Internet of Things into the activities of the agricultural sector. This study aims to show how the blockchain can improve the practice of intelligent agriculture in Africa. For these, two research questions will guide this reflection. The results obtained a state where Blockchain technology has begun to make its first appearances in some African states thanks to its advantages. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the blockchain is still facing various internal and external challenges in the African States, where the proposal for some slopes to make the blockchain a real asset for the African agri-food sector.

El lugar de la cultura en la era del capitalismo cognitivo. Notas para una discusión sobre ciudadanía digital

La cultura tiene un rol fundamental como motor de cambio social y en los procesos de desarrollo. Ahora bien, en el capitalismo cognitivo, la mercantilización de lo inmaterial restringe la diversidad y el pluralismo, homogeneiza imaginarios y anula tradiciones populares bajo la presión de un mono-discurso hegemónico y totalizador. Los países del sur, las expresiones de las minorías o las prácticas mediáticas alternativas, por ejemplo, quedan silenciadas o desplazadas a un segundo plano, impidiendo el desarrollo de los pobres, los desplazados o los diferentes. No obstante, las Nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (NTIC’s) ofrecen un nuevo escenario donde la ciudadanía puede incrementar la participación y el empoderamiento local, claves para la salud de la democracia. Y es que el capital informacional que Internet aporta en lo que a participación y cooperación ciudadana se refiere es esencial para el desarrollo y el cambio social. Ahora bien, estos procesos de apropiación de las NTIC’s, por parte de la ciudadanía, están mediados por una serie de ejes de tensión o dialécticas. Para trascender estas dificultades que el entorno digital plantea sobre la democracia es necesario buscar modelos teórico-metodológicos de la mediación compleja que abran espacios públicos y permitan el empoderamiento local de la ciudadanía. En este sentido, se proponen una serie de líneas de actuación para elaborar políticas de comunicación y cultura que contribuyan al desarrollo de una ciudadanía digital activa y participativa.

Novas tecnologias da informação, escalabilidade e métodos quantitativos e qualitativos nas ciências humanas

O trabalho examina os pressupostos que orientaram a oposição entre os métodos quantitativos e qualitativos nas ciências humanas e sociais, tratando com destaque o aspecto da escalabilidade como problema epistemológico. Trata-se de retomar alguns pontos deste debate em face das novas tecnologias da informação (NTIs), focando no impacto da grande produção de dados. Compreendendo o método como lógica de investigação, a proposta retoma as discussões de Lev Manovich e Bruno Latour como referência para uma releitura da dicotomia entre os métodos quantitativos e qualitativos nas ciências humanas e sociais.

Determinants of a smart city in Morocco

Since the beginning of the 21st century, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas. The 2014 revision of the World Urbanization Prospects notes that the largest urban growth will take place in India, China and Nigeria. In Morocco, population in urban agglomerations of more than 1 million was 22.65 in 2015, compared to 13.98 in 1960.This situation has considerable consequences for the social, economic and ecological equilibrium of the territories. For that, public and private strategy must respond to the emerging needs of large numbers of citizens coming into cities to realize a real model of a future city which need to be a Smart City. This new concept means 'briefly' a city must (1) use the New Technologies of Information and Communication (NICT) to improve a quality of its citizens' life, (2) integrate all its stakeholders (businesses and government) and citizens in decision-making and (3) dispose of as little waste as possible in order to have a neutral ecological footprint. This communication shows that a smart city is the city well managed, with significant opportunities for economic development and access to basic services, including health care and education, for all people.We concluded that smart city is a democratic and ecological city based on a circular economy, highlighting two factors human development and democracy development which may contribute to the instituting a smart city in Morocco.

O funcionamento da autoria nos blogs de divulgação científica

Este artigo se propõe a pensar o funcionamento discursivo dos blogs de divulgação científica, colocando em questão o modo de constituição da autoria, no contexto das Novas Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (NTICs). Para tanto, analisamos os blogs de divulgação científica do Anel de Blogs Científicos da USP e recortamos os posts sobre a 61º Reunião Anual da SBPC. Tomamos como procedimentos de análise aqueles apresentados pela Análise de discurso de linha francesa. E a partir da análise, podemos observar um funcionamento que incorpora uma prática da internet, que é o copiar e colar, e que representa uma apropriação de textos pelo blogueiro; apaga-se o fato de o texto ser de outra pessoa. Logo, não lidamos mais com um autor como origem do dizer.

New Information Technologies and the City : Re-discovering people and places

New Information Technologies (NIT) have a pervasive impact on urban life and the socio-economic development of cities. However, studies on the relationship between NIT and the city are frequently accompanied by a sense of dissatisfaction. One possible reason is that the innovative role of NIT tends to be overlooked, from both a substantive and methodological point of view. In this paper, we address the issue by developing some previous works in which a distinction between the hard and soft components of innovation was emphasised. Such a distinction is important because it opens up new ways of thinking about urban processes and their management. While the hard component of NIT affects the city through evolutionary and co-evolutionary processes, the soft component changes our ways of perceiving them, thus affecting them yet further, causing an accelerating and self-reinforcing effect. This paper is organised as follows. Firstly, we propose a taxonomy of the areas of research with groupings suitable for constituting major components of a conceptual framework from which research agendas on the relationships between NTT and the city could be developed. We then present the results of an accessibility study recently carried out by 1RES in the Turin Metropolitan Area. This study was inspired by a desire to investigate the distinction between the hard and soft components of NIT, and to provide some empirical evidence on the perceived impact of NIT in a region which, underwent a Fordist-type of industrial development in the sixties, and is still subject to a process of socio-economic restructuring. The last section summarises the main findings of this study and makes some suggestions for future research.

The influence of familiarity among group members, group atmosphere and assertiveness on uninhibited behavior through three different communication media

The study of the influence of new information technologies (NIT) on verbal communication has attracted attention from researchers. Results obtained in previous studies suggest that NIT communication media produce a deindividualization in group processes that enhances uninhibited behavior and flaming. However, identity theory emphasizes the role of social context, challenging the interpretation that features of the media are the main antecedent of this behavior. The aim of the present paper is threefold: (1) to empirically test whether there are significant differences in the frequency of uninhibited behavior in groups working under face-to-face, videoconference and computer-mediated communication; (2) to test whether familiarity among group members, group climate, assertiveness and their interactions significantly predict uninhibited behavior in groups, regardless of the communication media; and (3) to analyze whether communication media moderate the prediction of these variables on uninhibited behavior. Uninhibited behavior has been operationalized, distinguishing between informal speech and flaming. The experiment was carried out with 28 groups of five subjects each. Results show that informal speech and flaming present higher rates in computer mediated communication than in videoconference and face-to-face. Social familiarity among group members significantly predicts mild uninhibited behavior regardless of the medium, but does not account for flaming. Communication media moderate the prediction power of familiarity and its interaction with assertiveness and group climate on mild uninhibited behavior (informal speech). Results are discussed in relation to the alternative theories and models formulated.

Remote decision support system: a distributed information management system

This last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of the ‘Information Society’, in which most of the production domains are strictly dependent on access to information. “What is becoming more and more obvious is that access to information alone is not the answer. What European citizen's need are the skills and tools to enable to turn that information into knowledge” [L. Rodriguez-Rosello, Telematics in Education and Training: Trendsand Visions, NTICF’98, Insa-Rouen, http://www.insa-rouen.fr/, 1998]. The use of New Technologies of Information and Communication (NTIC) has deeply changed the organisation and the practice of decision support systems. The number and cost of meetings necessary to achieve any consensus have been significantly on the rise. The increased use of Internet and multimedia facilities has encouraged the development of interactive online decision support systems. NTIC facilities have also stimulated the development of co-operative decision support systems. Nowadays, in order to make a decision, it is possible to use several types of expertise from the entire world. As a result, the number of decision-making partners needed to take part in a decision is constantly increasing. Today, within this open knowledge world, the organisational task of such meetings becomes a problem in itself. Every meeting today implies that a decision may be made. Thus, the presence of most of the decision-makers becomes essential and the complexity of agenda management increases. In this article, we present a simple case study to illustrate the shifting of decision and communication support system. Through this trivial example we show once again that: · rational solutions are not always to be retained; · information flow contains very useful knowledge to be discovered. Finally we describe the architecture of a “skill based decision system” aiming at helping the organisation of meetings.
