Recent research in science education recommends the development of didactic resources that approach relations between Science, Technology and Society [STS] and articulate formal and non-formal educational contexts such as science museums and centres, the Internet and television. We consider it’s important to implement those recommendations through the use of ICT in science education. Therefore ...

In the past many didactic models have been developed for regular courses. But didactic models for e-learning courses and specific for MOOCs are still under development. Such a model should provide a basis for measurements against the high drop-out rate of MOOCs. Recently we introduced FETCH 2.0 as didactic model for e-learning using social media. In this paper we discuss a didactic model for re...

There can be no single best way of learning, and each teaching mode has its own merits and demerits. Didactic lectures in and of themselves are insufficient, whereas a problem-based tutorial alone can be as ineffective. This study was conducted to determine if a problem-based review after didactic lectures would lead to better student performance. To compare performance, the same student group ...

In this paper we present an analysis of the development process of technology-supported didactic material. Such analysis considers didactic materials as the conjunction of contents and instructional design used to guide learning and teaching processes. And we examine why several features such as reusability, semantic interoperability and collaboration support must be ensured from the earlier st...

INTRODUCTION The structure of the interview day affects applicant interactions with faculty and residents, which can influence the applicant's rank list decision. We aimed to determine if there was a difference in matched residents between those interviewing on a day on which didactics were held and had increased resident and faculty presence (didactic day) versus an interview day with less ava...

It is not necessary to say that we are in the crossroads between the old socratic methods of medical education and the complete adoption of new philosophies such as collaborative learning (social media) or learner delivery co-design (flipped classroom). All these approaches are based on the fact that our learners and some of the teachers have a very millennial learning style, defined by the abi...

It is a feature central to cooperative work that practitioners develop and maintain their collective competences and skills, and one will in many settings find elaborate didactic practices that reflect this state of affairs. The concept of ‘knowledge transfer’ that plays a key role in the knowledge management research area offers an obvious framework to the study of mutual learning. However, th...
