The Implementation of the Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support Policy to Manage and Support Teaching and Learning Processes in KwaZulu-Natal

The Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support (SIAS) policy was developed to enable South African schools to respond systemically to diverse needs within an inclusive education (IE) system. This study explored teachers’ role as case managers with the implementation of the SIAS policy in inclusive education in three schools in the Pinetown District of KwaZulu-Natal. One departmental head and one principal from each of the selected schools were interviewed while two focus group discussions per school consisting of six teachers were conducted. The researcher used a reflective journal during the research process to ensure that the study was conducted rigorously as this improves the quality of the study. This qualitative study was grounded by Bronfenbrenner’s Bio-Ecological Systems Theory. The findings revealed that teachers lack adequate knowledge of the SIAS policy, leading to insecurity in its implementation. Overcrowded classes also pose a challenge, hindering teachers’ ability to provide individual support. The research aimed to contribute to a greater understanding of teachers’ challenges in understanding SIAS policy and the effective implementation of inclusive education. This study discusses the inadequate knowledge, understanding, and skills of teachers in implementing the SIAS policy effectively. To remedy this, regular workshops should be provided to teachers, which should explain the SIAS process or protocol, provide information on the responsibilities of all stakeholders, and inform teachers about their roles and responsibilities as case managers. Additionally, collaboration between the DBST, SBST, parents, and teachers is essential for the successful implementation of the policy, as it aims to provide teachers with the necessary support and resources.

To fear or not to fear – Human resource development professionals’ positioning towards artificial intelligence with a focus on augmentation

Artificial intelligence (AI) has far-reaching implications for education. Within organizations, especially companies, human resource development (HRD) enables and supports learning processes among employees. In a similar way to teachers and lecturers, HRD professionals play an important role in implementing AI in HRD. However, there is a lack of quantitative empirical evidence about this process. The aim of this paper is to shed light on how HRD professionals position themselves with respect to AI. The concept of Davenport and Kirby's augmentation strategies, adapted to HRD, act as the theoretical background. The core idea of augmentation lies in human-AI collaboration. In our study, we empirically validate this concept of augmentation strategies and predict the extent to which HRD professionals pursue the five strategies: step in, step up, step forward, step aside, and step narrowly. The predictors are grouped into three areas: attitudes, competence beliefs, and goal orientation. HRD professionals (N = 330) from German-speaking countries act as the sample. Covariance based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) act as the method for data analysis. The findings reveal the crucial impact of cognitive attitudes towards digitalization and AI anxiety when pursuing the augmentation strategies. AI competence beliefs are an important predictor for collaboration with AI. General digital competence beliefs can only indirectly predict the augmentation strategies. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

First-year students AI-competence as a predictor for intended and de facto use of AI-tools for supporting learning processes in higher education

The influence of Artificial Intelligence on higher education is increasing. As important drivers for student retention and learning success, generative AI-tools like translators, paraphrasers and most lately chatbots can support students in their learning processes. The perceptions and expectations of first-years students related to AI-tools have not yet been researched in-depth. The same can be stated about necessary requirements and skills for the purposeful use of AI-tools. The research work examines the relationship between first-year students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes and their use of AI-tools for their learning processes. Analysing the data of 634 first-year students revealed that attitudes towards AI significantly explains the intended use of AI tools. Additionally, the perceived benefits of AI-technology are predictors for students’ perception of AI-robots as cooperation partners for humans. Educators in higher education must facilitate students’ AI competencies and integrate AI-tools into instructional designs. As a result, students learning processes will be improved.

However, some conditions were recognized as teachers’ limitation during the online training, namely the access to the internet, the availability of tools and materials of skills practice, and their mastery of Google Classroom as learning management system. Teachers’ self-motivated action to join the online training and the increase of their post-test scores reveal their readiness for attending the online training. On the other hand, online training is not just an issue to learn something by the means of internet, but it is also critical to reflect on how to bring classroom experiences into the online platform by utilizing LMS features which support learning process itself

Learning analytics in mathematics education: the case of feedback use in a digital classification task on reflective symmetry

Learning Analytics is concerned with the use of data collected in educational settings to support learning processes. We take a Learning Analytics approach to study the use of immediate feedback in digital classification tasks in mathematics. Feedback serves as an opportunity for learning, however its mere existence does not guarantee its use and effectiveness, as what matters is how learners interact with it. Therefore, our research questions are focused on that interaction. The data consisted of 266 object movements for classifying polygons, and 524 shape movements for classifying traffic signs, under the topic of symmetry. Participants included 29 elementary school students (9–12 years old) from Israel and Germany. Analyzing students’ success, feedback use, and the associations between them, we demonstrate how not acting upon feedback is negatively associated with success, and how this undesired behavior slightly reduces along the learning process.

The Role of Working Memory in Early Literacy and Numeracy Skills in Kindergarten and First Grade.

The working memory system supports learning processes such as acquiring new information and the development of new skills. Working memory has been found to be related to both early literacy and early numeracy in kindergarten and to linguistic and mathematical academic skills at older ages, but the contribution of each of the memory components at these ages is not yet clear. The purpose of this study is to examine the unique connections among the various systems of WM, early literacy, and early numeracy using various assessment tests of simple WM and complex WM, as well as a variety of tasks in math and language skills administered to the same 250 children in kindergarten and 150 children in first grade. Consistent with the predictions, significant relations among all components of memory and mathematics and language knowledge at both ages were found, although these connections were differential for the different types of tasks and memory systems. The connection of complex WM was stronger in its contribution and more significant in first grade in both mathematics and language domains. Complex WM resources were more important in early literacy at kindergarten age, while simple WM seems to be important in early numeracy. The theoretical and educational implications of these results are discussed accordingly.

Pyramids in medical education: Their conceptualization and utility summarized

To examine the conceptual underpinnings of learning pyramids, their limitations and some proposed modifications, and to describe their utility. Starting with a selection of pyramids based on whether graphic design was part of their original design and on their conceptual description, we examined the criticisms they have received and the modifications derived from those observations, and the use given to the pyramids most commonly used in medical education. Five pyramids were included, namely, George Miller, Edgar Dale, Donald Kirkpatrick, Benjamín Bloom and Abraham Maslow. Pyramids describe different aspects of medical education evaluation, either of individuals or of training programs, including competencies, identity, reliability, learning, behavior, results, cognitive complexity and self-realization. As theoretical models, the pyramids examined have contributed to support learning processes in health professions. Their practical utility extends to different specialties and education levels given that they can help faculty optimize curricular design, teaching and evaluation processes. It is important to conduct a local assessment of the effects on health science programs built on these theoretical models.
