Research

Research has been conducted to collect data which has been pivotal to developing new pedagogical approaches towards learning.  The research carried out was very important as all of the available literature is either based on learning with specific digital tools or it is in totally different contexts. This research is the first of its kind as it has been done in a classroom environment to explore and analyze the following aspects:
Educators
– Perception of the Internet in education from the educators’ perspective
– The extent of the internet and digital tools in classroom environments
– The extent of understanding of characteristics of the millennials as learners
– Main challenges experienced by educators in the classroom environment

Learners
– The perception of learners of the methods of teaching which they experience
– The challenges which learners face during their lessons
– The level of engagement experienced by learners during their lessons.
– What changes they would like to increase their level of engagement and relevance
– The extent of awareness on Internet Safety, Media Literacy and soft skills

Through the above points we obtained a clear picture of the situation in the classroom from different perspectives. This data was collected through questionnaires and focus groups. The data will be collected through two
methods of inquiry; focus groups and questionnaires and provides recommendations on a new pedagogical approach that needs to be adopted by the educators to increase engagement of students.
