Computer-assisted language learning in the context of digital skills of older adults
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022-12) Czopek, Karolina
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a situation where older adults, the group most at risk of contracting the virus and at the same time the most digitally excluded in society, had to either give up all activity or make a greater effort to engage in various activities online. This was the case of learning a foreign language, which is one of the most popular educational activities chosen by this age group. The article analyses the potential of remote language learning with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the context of challenges that older adults face in the digital world. Through the analysis of ten criteria for technology adoption, the study shows that the main obstacles preventing older adults from learning a foreign language online can be eliminated if third parties (family, peers, web developers, course organizers) engage in promoting and facilitating online learning experience.
Developing digital skills in Economy 4.0
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Ziomek, Agnieszka
The aim of the paper is to evaluate digital competence among employees working with high-tech devices and identify their level of compliance with the requirements set out in EU documents. The article contains an analysis of the literature on the subject, EU documents and survey results. A comparative analysis of the opinions of employees, managers and trade union representatives is carried out based on the results of a survey in an industrial company where stationary work is required. The results show that in the Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) region of Poland, the level of employee qualifications is average. People employed for a period of five years or less positively assessed their level of competence and were positive about the challenges ahead; they also expressed a high degree of motivation to learn in the future. The positions of the managers and the union representatives were similar. The main implications include the fact that the level of digital skills found may form the basis for necessary steps to be taken by companies and public institutions to upgrade employees’ skills. The article assesses the current level of digital competence of employees and the extent to which they adhere to the requirements of the literature, EU documents and national surveys.
Fostering digital business transformation and digital skill development for economic growth and social inclusion in Poland: a preliminary study
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Olszewska, Karolina
The digital transformation of an enterprise is an extremely complex issue, which involves modification of the traditional model and business processes through the use of ICT solutions. The transfer of operational activities from the analog to the digital sphere enables new production and distribution methods, better interactions with the customer and the production of digital goods and services. Therefore, digital transformation, as a key issue for enterprises, should play a central role in their development strategy. In the world of artificial intelligence, based on self-learning algorithms and global data flows, appropriate workforce skills are necessary for the effective implementation of a digital strategy. The skill gap, resulting from a lack of proper vision, knowledge, skills and experience, is the main reason for the lack of success in the process of the digital transformation of SMEs. It is also significant with respect to ensuring faster economic growth and the process of social inclusion. The purpose of the study is to outline the importance of the issue of reducing the digital gap, which is one of the important competence gaps for conducting effective digital business transformation at the threshold of the third decade of the 21st century, and to present solutions of systemic support for the development of digital skills in Polish enterprises. The findings of the analysis are as follows: in order to reduce the gap in digital skills, it is necessary to strengthen extensive cooperation within the triple helix, to include public-private partnerships based on coordinated actions undertaken jointly by enterprises, science, and public administration. Science and technology parks (STPs) should play a special role in this respect. However, for this assistance to be effective, it is necessary to prepare the managerial staff for the construction and, above all, implementation of an appropriate support strategy related to STPs for the digital transformation of their tenants.
The Escol@s Digitais Project. An experience of working with technologies in Primary Education in Portugal
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2024-10) Albuquerque Costa, Fernando; Cruz, Elisabete; Fradão, Sandra; Sousa, Emily
The Escol@s Digitais Project is an action-research project that was born on the initiative of the Municipality of Amadora (Portugal) and has been under development by a research team of the Institute of Education of the University of Lisbon. As part of the Education XXI line of research, it aims to support the ongoing digital transformation in all public schools of Primary Education in the municipality to enhance the quality of processes, performances, and results of learning. Seeking to deepen and consolidate existing knowledge and practices, the Project defines four objectives to be pursued intentionally throughout its term: i) valuing the work carried out within schools in the digital transition, distinguishing and promoting successful practices; ii) reinforcing the sustained integration of teaching and learning dynamics with digital, in the classroom and in other local contexts; iii) recognizing and assessing students' digital skills, bearing in mind the Portuguese Profile of Students Leaving Compulsory Schooling; iv) monitoring project activities and understand their impact on teachers and students. In this article, we present the main starting questions and the conceptual foundations and premises that underpin the intervention plan's design. Although the plan involved other dimensions, particularly related to school management, here we will emphasize the assumption of digital technologies that we assumed and how we worked with the teachers. We conclude with the presentation of the Project's assumptions and work axes.
