Trends and Directions of Technology in Elementary Schools under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration

P. Vate-U-Lan

Graduate School of eLearning, Assumption University, Bangkok, Thailand ([email protected])

ABSTRACT The future can be forecast from a decision based on current knowledge in relation to the trends and directions of computer technology implementation in a school. It depends frequently on the influence of administrators and their knowledge level. It is crucial to study the demand and the confidence level of e-learning implementation in the schools from an administration perspective. In 2013, a group of 120 school administrators attended a seminar workshop on e-learning at a university in Bangkok, Thailand. Fifty-six participants returned the questionnaire. The survey elicited level of their interest towards a combination of instructional approaches and computer technology. The research results are presented in this paper and outline the different levels of their interest towards each computer-technology application. The questionnaire contained questions regarding the potential of e-learning implementation based upon the available infrastructure in their schools. The results showed that e-learning was considered to be an education tool where implementation was not seen as problematic and it was likely to be an addition to the education offerings in schools. The survey also found that social networking was influential among schools, parents and students in relation to the potential benefits of e-learning implementation in schools. The survey indicates that the demand and confidence levels of e-learning implementation at the schools under Bangkok Metropolitan were rated at a high level.

Keywords Augmented reality for education, Aurasma, Bangkok Metropolitan, blended learning, e-learning, Enclicker, flipped classroom, gamification, Toondoo, Zooburst 1) INTRODUCTION Technology integration has long been a priority consideration in schools under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. In order to encourage teachers to utilize e-learning and integrate technology into the classroom, a seminar workshop was conducted in a Bangkok university over two days. The executive directors of elementary schools were invited to participate in this seminar which introduced them to many classroom technologies and applications. An exit survey aimed to validate levels of demand for and confidence in e-learning and its formal implementation. One sub-topic in this seminar workshop was “Benefits of E-learning Implementation”. The agenda of the workshop included 1) learning approach, 2) technology and 3) free educational applications. 2) LITERATURE REVIEW This literature review section provides two main types of information: 1) research focused on teachers‟ attitudes towards e-learning and 2) a synopsis of the knowledge of technology distributed during the seminar workshop. 2.1) Teachers’ attitudes to e-learning Teachers‟ computer technology literacy is one of the most demanded skills in the 21st century. Its strong positive effects will impact strongly on student learning and engagements. According to research

conducted by the Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership (2014), the survey results of more than 1,000 U.S. educators, (783 teachers and 274 principals or assistant principals) reflected a better comprehension of how e-learning has been implemented in the classroom. The research team at the Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership found that both teachers and administrators were very confident about the potential of technology that engaged many different types of students, including high-achieving students, students with specific academic needs, and English language learners. The same research showed that the more frequent use of technologically supported learning resulted in enhanced student engagement. In their study there was no disparity between veteran teachers and newer teachers in terms of adopting technology into traditional classrooms. However, there were disparities between teachers‟ and administrators‟ perceptions as admini-strators believed that teachers were using technology to support learning more than teachers were reporting it. Lacking access to technology was not a barrier to teachers‟ use of technology. Finally, most teachers did not believe that the pre-service programs prepared them adequately but they placed more value on advanced training programs. Their findings suggest that on-the-job technology training for teachers may focus on how to operate new equipment, but not on how to incorporate it effectively into instruction. Along similar lines, research conducted in West Virginia University found that both teachers and administrators are more engaged when technology was used in the classroom and believed that technology brought positive impacts to instruction (Marcum, 2010). Additionally, users‟ age, availability of usable and current technology and choice were factors affecting confidence in using technology (Marcum, 2010).

Positive reinforcement from school directors and administrators was one of the crucial indicators. It related to the importance of influencing new teachers‟ acceptance and integration of technology into classroom pedagogy (Webb, 2011). Resources, incentives and well-designed staff development programs have the capacity to promote successful technology integration into the curriculum and can be quite successful (Webb, 2011). Factors such as teachers‟ ICT competency, teachers‟ confidence levels in using ICT, and teachers‟ satisfaction with ICT training programs play crucial roles in terms of ICT integration in educational contexts (Tasir, Mohammed El Amin Abour, Halim, & Harun, 2012). Their survey involving 184 Malaysian teachers, in one of the universities located in Johor State found that teachers had a high level of ICT competency blended with high levels of confidence in using ICT and satisfaction with regard to ICT training programs. The reason for this was that Malaysian teachers were able to use most ICT tools and integrate ICT tools into their teaching process and, lastly, they believe ICT training programs provide sufficient knowledge about ICT which encouraged them and became motivational. This Malaysian research showed that the more competent the teachers‟ were with computer technology generally, the more confident were their levels for using ICT linked to e-learning (Tasir et al., 2012). 2.2) Knowledge of technology The learning approaches introduced in this seminar included a range of e-learning ICT products and applications. A brief elaboration of examples follows. The Flipped classroom is a concept where teachers provide activities for students prior to class time to explore content in order to distinguish passive and active learners (Trish, 2014). The Flipped classroom integrates more opportunities for students to practice higher order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis and

71

evaluation. Blended learning refers to a combination of traditional learning and media and tools from the internet. Two main educational technologies mentioned in the workshop were „gamification‟ and „augmented reality for elementary school‟. A short definition of „gamification‟ means the use of game attributes to drive game-like player behavior in a non-game context (Wu, 2014). Gamification stresses the motivational techniques that drive heightened learning engagement (Scullion, 2014). The Free Rice web site and Kukui Cup for educational environment were taken as the examples of gamification projects (Free rice, 2014). „Aurasma‟ was demonstrated in the creation of augmented reality for educational purposes (Aurasma, 2014). Lastly, the free applications stated were „enclicker‟, toondoo and zooburst. Enclicker is a free application that enables teachers to create questions and publish them among students who have a mobile or a computer connected to the internet. The responses can be shown in a real-time context (Enclicker, 2014). ToonDoo (2014) is a comic-creating tool which allows both students and teachers to create, personalize, and publish content in the form of a cartoon. Zooburst is an online creator tool that allows students to create their own pop-up books in both 3Dimensional and augmented reality form (Kapp, 2014). Based on the literature review, the researcher aimed to proactively investigate the trend and direction of technology in elementary schools under Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. 3) RESEARCH RESULT This research employed an exit survey approach to gather feedback. The questionnaire included three main parts: 1) demographic information, 2) level of interest to the e-learning approach and computer technology and 3) plan and readiness of the school to integrate ICT linked education. The survey was

distributed after the academic seminar workshop. 3.1) Demographic information The population consisted of 120 school administrators who attended a seminar workshop on e-learning at a selected university in Bangkok, Thailand. Fifty-six participants returned completed questionnaire. Three thirds of respondents were female (75 % or n=42) and all the rest were males (25% or n=14). Almost nine out of ten (89.29% or n=50) were administrators of elementary schools and 10.71 per cent (n=6) were administrators of secondary schools. The majority of participants or nine tenths (89.29% or n=50) had completed a masters‟ degree while the rest had earned a doctoral degree (5.36% or n=3) or a bachelor degree (5.36% or n=3) respectively. 3.2) Level of interest towards e-learning

approach and computer technology The level of interest towards the e-learning approach and computer technology was investigated in the form of 5 point-scale-rating questions. The participants demonstrated their level of interest towards e-learning and computer technology as shown in Table 1. Table 1: Level of interest

N M SD Description Blended Learning 56 4.07 0.76 Very

interesting Flipped

Classroom 56 4.11 0.76 Very interesting

Gamification 56 4.09 0.86 Very interesting

Augmented Reality 56 4.00 0.81 Very

interesting Range: 4.21-5.0=Extremely interesting,

3.41-4.20=Very interesting, 2.61-3.40=Moderately interesting, 1.81-2.60=Slightly interesting 1.00-1.80=Not at all interesting

As seen in Table 1, there was little disparity among the four items; the average level was high but no item reached the “extremely interesting” level. Flipped classroom was the highest interest learning

72

approach followed by gamification, blended learning and augmented reality respectively 4.11, 4.09, 4.07 and 4). The standard deviation of each item was under one which can be described as a standard normal distribution. The next question was a multiple selection option or “check-all-that-apply” off “In the future, what will be an application in your school?” as shown in Figure 1. The result found that Aurasma was the most frequently selected application followed by Enclicker, Zooburst and Toondoo respectively (35.4, 27.7, 20.8 and 16.2 % respectively).

Figure 1: Selected Application 3.3) Plan and readiness of the school There were four questions in this section. The first question focused on the level of infrastructure readiness such as signal quality, router and hardware in order to implement e-learning. This question offered three levels of choice 1) good quality 2) may be good and 3) may work but not good quality. The administrators identified that their school infrastructure was 1.84 (SD=0.70) out of three which can be described as „Perhaps good‟. The second question explored current social networking and a plan to use it in the future as shown in Figure 2. Currently, Facebook was the most popular social network used in schools followed by Google+ and Youtube. The schools planned to use Class-start (a free service of Learning Management System by Prince of Songkla University, Thailand), Edmodo and Go to

know (The Gateway of Thailand‟s online Knowledge Management) in the future (36, 28 and 20% respectively).

Figure 2: Social Networking at School The third and fourth questions were a 5 point-scale-rating which investigated the desire for e-learning and confidence levels in it to enhance education quality. The results are shown in Table 2. Table 2: Level of interest

N M SD Description Demand for e-learning 56 4.27 0.75 Extremely

desirable Confident of

e-learning 56 4.29 0.73 Extremely positive

Range: 4.21-5.0=Extremely desirable/positive, 3.41-4.20=Very desirable/positive, 2.61-3.40=Moderately desirable/positive, 1.81-2.60=Slightly desirable/positive 1.00-1.80=Not at all desirable/positive

The demand for e-learning in elementary schools was seen as extremely desirable (4.27, SD= 0.75). It was on parity with the confidence in the potential for e-learning to enhance the quality of education (4.29, SD=0.73). A crucial corollary from the responses of the administrators to an open-ended question was a high appreciation for the workshop; however, the limitations of time might be a barrier to achieve competence the new technology and its tools.

4) DISCUSSION, RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

The survey results on trends and directions of technology in elementary schools under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration reflected a similar trend found in other global and ASEAN studies (the Richard W. Riley College of Education & and Leadership 2014; Marcum, 2010, Zaidatun Tasir et al., 2012, Webb, 2011). Based on this survey, it is arguable that the future learning approach in classrooms will integrate technology and new learning concepts such as the „Flipped classroom‟, gamification, blended learning and augmented reality since the administrators held very positive towards the benefits of e-learning. Even though the readiness of infrastructure to support e-learning imple-mentation was moderate, the confidence in e-learning and demand for e-learning were extremely high. Social networking designed specifically for educational purposes such as Edmodo or the social networks hosted by Thais such as Class-start and Gotoknow will be more integrated into classrooms. The rationale for this may be due to the superior functions that can serve education purposes with no service charge required. In order to improve the quality of Thai education, the budget to support technology infrastructure in the schools needs to be boosted considerably. Consequently, the updated knowledge among teachers and administrators needs to be maintained in well-planned workshops and seminars and online support. The greater the knowledge of technology – particularly e-learning applications - the greater the likelihood that Thai education will succeed in a globalized world as a part of the challenges and skills demanded by this complex 21st century.
