Nogales-Delgado, Sergio; Román Suero, Silvia; Martín, José María Encinar – Education Sciences, 2020
Apart from the evident tragedy that the COVID-19 outbreak has meant regarding both personal and economic costs, the normal functioning of the academic year has been drastically altered at all educational levels. Regarding Spain, the state of alert implemented by the government from mid-March to June has affected traditional face-to-face sessions…

Lomicka, Lara – Foreign Language Annals, 2020
During Covid-19, educators have been forced to quickly and creatively rethink teaching practices and the education of future generations. Community is a key consideration in reconceptualizing how the traditional classroom might function successfully in an online space. How does the virtual community of language learners interact with each other…

Wiseman, Rosalind; Fisher, Douglas; Frey, Nancy; Hattie, John – Corwin, 2020
Parent involvement has always been a vital part of any child's education, but the pandemic and resulting remote instruction require that parents and educators partner at a deeper level. Following the tremendous success of "The Distance Learning Playbook, K-12," education authorities Doug Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Hattie have teamed up…

Golubeva, Irina; Guntersdorfer, Ivett – Research-publishing.net, 2020
Empathy is widely perceived and understood as an unquestioned component of Intercultural Competence (IC). The authors see the ability to empathise with others and to see their point of view as an important condition for developing an ethnorelative viewpoint, and therefore consider it important to incorporate activities into the intercultural…

Boast, Lyria; Clifford, Beth; Doyle, Daniela – Public Impact, 2020
Almost immediately after schools closed due to the coronavirus outbreak in spring 2020, we began to see anecdotal evidence that charter schools were reacting quickly and serving students well. This paper offers evidence that smaller networks and schools that represent over 65% of the charter school landscape were able to respond quickly and take…

Vasmatzoglou, Areti; Ní Chiaráin, Neasa – Research-publishing.net, 2020
Virtual simulation training has gained in usage in various educational fields and offers the potential to support and reinforce learning goals when practical experience is not possible. Teaching practice experience in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom is critical, yet frequently unobtainable for students in Teaching English to…

M. David Burghardt; Deborah Hecht – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2020
This paper examines the differences and challenges encountered when trying to create informal blended (virtual and hands-on) engineering design STEM activities. It contrasts the creation of STEM activities for formal and informal learning environments, stressing that the differences extend far beyond the length of the activity or depth of any…

Cassandra M. D. Hart; Robert Linden; Brian A. Jacob; Susanna Loeb – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2020
A common rationale for offering online courses in K-12 schools is that they allow students to take courses not offered at their schools; however, there has been little research on how online courses are used to expand curricular options when operating at scale. We assess the extent to which students and schools use online courses for this purpose…

Toppin, Ian N.; Toppin, Sheila M. – Education and Information Technologies, 2016
Virtual schools are a growing phenomenon in k-12 education. School systems in almost every state in the United States offer some version of fully online or blended education. It is no longer far-fetched to conclude that if the current trend continues, virtual school enrollments will eclipse those of traditional brick-and-mortar k-12 institutions…

Nespor, Jan – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2019
Full-time virtual schools problematize what it means to 'attend' school. Is it the length of time a child is logged on to the school's software system (regardless of the amount of work done), or the amount of work submitted (regardless of the log-on time)? How should one figure the amount of work teachers are doing when students work by themselves…

Richter, Rachael A. – Journal of Teaching in Social Work, 2019
Research in distance education has investigated student satisfaction and learning outcomes, comparing face-to-face with online delivery formats, and tested various technological tools, but has yet to consider alternative pedagogies. Liberatory pedagogy facilitates critical thinking, awareness, reflection and social action around constructs such as…
