Abstract This paper is built around two central axes: rhizomatic learning and the post-digital era. Rhizomatic learning bases its principles on the construction of knowledge based on the contributions of students in real time, with the aim of understanding the community as a curriculum. For its part, the post-digital era is understood as the situation in which digital technology is an imposed social necessity. Since education, despite being public, is not free, digitisation increases the socio-economic gap between students with access to digital tools and those who do not. Thus, the possibility of counter-digitisation is proposed: using digital technology as another emancipatory tool. That is, when it is possible, use it competently and equitably; however, when this situation cannot be achieved, we must have a post-digital praxis that understands the world-system with the same or similar possibilities. To this end, rhizomatic learning and post-digital era will be presented as inherent parts for the production of the upcoming pedagogical proposal: the possibility of establishing a post-digital pedagogy. To provide philosophical grounding, a literature review of the two aforementioned axes is presented from the work of Deleuze and Guattari, exposing a distant and rupturist approach to the digitalist positions of current techno-capitalist education.

Resumen El presente trabajo se construye alrededor de dos ejes centrales: el aprendizaje rizomático y la era posdigital. El aprendizaje rizomático asienta sus principios en la construcción del conocimiento a partir de las aportaciones del alumnado en tiempo real, con la finalidad de entender la comunidad como currículo. Por su parte, la era posdigital se entiende como la coyuntura en que la tecnología digital es una necesidad social impuesta. Partiendo de que la educación, pese a ser pública, no es gratuita, la digitalización aumenta la brecha socioeconómica entre el alumnado con acceso a herramientas digitales y el que no. Así, se propone la posibilidad de contradigitalización: usar la tecnología digital como una herramienta emancipadora más. Esto es, cuando sea posible, utilizarla de manera competente y equitativa. Ahora bien, cuando esta situación no pueda darse debemos contar con una práctica posdigital que comprenda el sistema-mundo con las mismas o similares posibilidades. Para ello, aprendizaje rizomático y era posdigital serán presentados como núcleos inherentes a la producción de la propuesta pedagógica viniente: la posibilidad de establecimiento de una pedagogía posdigital. Como sustento filosófico se presenta una revisión de literatura de los dos ejes mencionados desde la obra de Deleuze y Guattari, exponiéndose un acercamiento rupturista con las posiciones digitalistas de la educación tecnocapitalista actual.

The teaching of English First Additional Language (EFAL) in South Africa is gradually changing from the traditional style because of the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts are being made to stimulate learners' interest in learning which include using information communication technology (ICT) in the form of e-learning to enhance understanding. The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was a major challenge as it compelled teachers to engage in online teaching - even those who were never trained in the use of technology. A qualitative research method in the form of semi-structured interviews was used to collect data from 15 EFAL teachers who were purposefully selected on the basis that they used e-learning to supplement their face-to-face teaching. I found that the integration of e-learning to the traditional physical contact style was essential in improving the teaching of EFAL. The majority of participants, however, highlighted that they still encountered challenges related to heavy workload and efforts to complete items listed in the work programme. Inadequate training of teachers on e-learning, a lack of resources and poor connectivity also acted as barriers to the full implementation of blended learning, which considerably improves learners' performance.

Resumo Uma narrativa imersiva deve prover a imersão do público-alvo considerando três dimensões de imersão narrativa: temporal, espacial e emocional. Apresentamos e exemplificamos o uso de um método que avalia e classifica estas dimensões em narrativas, apoiando reflexões para a sua alteração, de acordo com os objetivos pedagógicos almejados pelo docente. O método foi desenvolvido enquanto artefacto de Design Science Research (DSR). Foi aplicado empiricamente numa unidade curricular do ensino superior português em regime de e-learning assíncrono na Universidade Aberta, que utiliza narrativas para imersão narrativa e promover a autorregulação e corregulação das aprendizagens: Laboratório de Desenvolvimento de Software. Os resultados indicam que o método permite detectar diferenças de nível de recurso às várias dimensões de imersão narrativa, como ocorreu no caso apresentado. Esta análise, além de permitir esta avaliação e classificação em narrativas, dá aos seus criadores (e.g., professores e profissionais não especialistas) consciência destas situações ao longo da narrativa. Possibilita, desta forma, uma visão global e uma reflexão fundamentada, que pode inspirar intervenções para reformular as dimensões de imersão narrativa a proporcionar ao público-alvo.

Abstract An immersive narrative means to promote immersion of its target audience, considering three dimensions of narrative immersion: temporal, spatial and emotional. We present and demonstrate the use of a method for evaluating and classifying these dimensions in narratives, enabling reflections for their reformulation according to the pedagogical objectives of the teacher. The method was developed as an artifact of Design Science Research (DSR). It was applied empirically in Portuguese higher education, on an asynchronous e-learning course at Universidade Aberta, which uses narratives for narrative immersion and promoting self-regulation and co-regulation of learning: Software Development Laboratory. The results show that the method enables detection of differences in the level of use of the various dimensions of narrative immersion, as shown for a sample case. This analysis, beyond its usefulness for this evaluation and classification upon narratives, enables their creators (e.g. teachers and non-specialist professionals) to become aware of these situations. Therefore, it provides an overview and supports grounded reflection, inspiring interventions to reformulate the dimensions of narrative immersion that one wants to provide to the target audience.

Resumen: La declaración del estado de alarma en España, aprobada para gestionar la pandemia por COVID-19, supuso el confinamiento domiciliario de la población. Como consecuencia, la docencia de todas las titulaciones que se imparten en la Universitat Politècnica de Valencia (UPV) se trasladó a modalidad “a distancia”. El objetivo de este estudio consiste en comprobar la afección del cambio metodológico sobre los indicadores más importantes de las titulaciones, como las tasas de éxito y de satisfacción. En el caso de la educación en la facultad de arquitectura se analizarán las consecuencias de la pérdida de la presencialidad sobre los distintos tipos de asignaturas, como las gráficas, que salieron perjudicadas, o las tuteladas, que salieron beneficiadas al encontrarse los estudiantes con un tiempo inesperado. Se mostrará, también, el efecto del cambio del modelo de evaluación, que tuvo que realizarse a distancia, conduciendo a tasas de éxito históricas en algunas asignaturas técnicas.

Abstract: The declaration of the alarm state in Spain approved to manage the COVID-19 pandemic, led to the population’s home lockdown. As consequence, the teaching of all the degrees taught at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) was transferred to a remote online modality. The aim of this study is to verify the effect of the methodological change on the most important indicators of the degrees, such as success and satisfaction rates. In the case of education in the Faculty of Architecture, the consequences of the loss of face-to-face attendance on the different types of subjects will be analyzed: for example, the graphic subjects, which were harmed, or the guided subjects that benefited due to students getting an unexpected time. It will also show the effect of the change in the evaluation model, which had to be carried out remotely, leading to historical success rates in some technical subjects.

Abstract: Facing a scenario of unavoidable changes and a society that promotes the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the hybrid modality seeks to optimize traditional and virtual education. Therefore, the objective of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid classes for the development of competencies in the subject of Quality Control in agro-industrial engineering students at a public university in Peru. Seventeen students enrolled in the 2022-I academic semester participated, who attended the hybrid classes through rotating and simultaneous classes, using synchronous technology (videoconference system with Zoom Rooms software) and asynchronous technology (Microsoft Teams). The instrument used was a 40-question Pedagogical Test of the Quality Control subject, divided into four dimensions that assess capabilities and was applied before and after the study. The results showed noticeable values, reaching learning levels of expected (47.1%), process (41.2%), expected (35.3%) and outstanding (47.1%) for the first, second, third and fourth ability, respectively. It is concluded that the hybrid classes were effective for the development of subject competencies with a p<0.05, which evidenced a significant difference between pretest and posttest. Likewise, 35.3% of students were in process and expected learning levels and 11.8% remained in beginning learning levels. Thus, there is a need for improvement in ICT access to continue strengthening the application of the hybrid modality.

Resumen: El interés e involucramiento de los estudiantes por su propio aprendizaje en virtualidad durante la pandemia por la COVID-19 ha sido una realidad poco estudiada. La manifestación del involucramiento cognitivo, afectivo y conductual ha sido particularmente diferente durante los últimos años, por lo que contar con instrumentos de medición es necesario para la investigación en la educación. Por ello, se buscó adaptar y validar un instrumento de engagement que permita medir el involucramiento de los estudiantes durante la pandemia. Para ello, se aplicó un cuestionario de engagement a 297 estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados indican que la estructura factorial original del modelo se mantiene al adaptarse a la educación en contexto virtual. Asimismo, se pudo identificar que no existen diferencias en el modelo según el sexo del participante, lo que corrobora invarianza factorial. Se ha podido adaptar y validar un instrumento psicométrico que mide el engagement de los estudiantes en virtualidad.

Abstract: Students’ interest and involvement of students in their e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a little-studied reality. The manifestation of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral involvement has been particularly different in recent years, so having instruments that allow it to be done is necessary for educational research. Therefore, it was sought to adapt and validate an engagement instrument that allows measuring the involvement of students during the pandemic. For this, an engagement questionnaire was applied to 297 university students. The results indicate that the original factorial structure of the model is maintained when adapting to education in a virtual context. Likewise, it was possible to identify that there were no differences in the model according to the gender of the participant, which corroborates a factorial invariance of the model. That is, it has been possible to adapt and validate a psychometric instrument that measures the engagement of students online.

Resumo: O interesse e o envolvimento dos estudantes no seu próprio aprendizado virtual durante a pandemia do covid-19 tem sido uma realidade pouco estudada. A manifestação de envolvimento cognitivo, afetivo e comportamental tem sido particularmente diferente nos últimos anos, por isso contar com instrumentos de mensuração é necessário para a pesquisa em educação. Por conseguinte, procurou-se adaptar e validar um instrumento de engagement que permita medir o envolvimento dos estudantes durante a pandemia. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário de engagement a 297 estudantes universitários. Os resultados indicam que a estrutura fatorial original do modelo é mantida quando adaptada à educação num contexto virtual. Também foi possível identificar que não havia diferenças no modelo segundo o sexo do participante, o que corrobora a invariância fatorial. Foi possível adaptar e validar um instrumento psicométrico que mede o engagement dos estudantes no contexto virtual.

The study focused on the implementation of supplementary instruction as a suitable and effective pedagogical intervention for assisting at-risk students enrolled in an Advanced Research Methodology core course in one of the South African higher education institutions (HEIs). Supplementary instruction (SI) has been purported to be an effective technique for assisting at-risk students undertaking high-risk core modules. The educational challenge of at-risk students in higher education has been worsened by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic where high-risk core modules implementing e-learning posed serious challenges for at-risk students thereby negatively affecting pass rates and throughput. The design-based research (DBR) approach was used to guide the design of the intervention and research its effectiveness. The article reports on the design principles that yielded these results. After one cycle of DBR, it was established that SI had a positive impact on the pass rates of this particular course. The article argues that the use of the proposed designed principles in SI interventions has the potential to increase higher mean grades, lower failure and withdrawal rates, and higher retention rates of students. However, this study recommends that further iterations must be undertaken to refine design principles for an SI programme of this nature. The pedagogical significance of the current study in the prevailing circumstances and post COVID-19 pandemic is implementing a robust SI intervention in all core modules at the University of Technology.

If virtual assessment lies at the heart of the open, distance and e-learning experience, then information about student responses to the assessment is vital. Feedback is generally thought of as being conveyed by the e-tutor to the student; however, the feedback mechanisms ecosystem demonstrates that student-to-lecturer and student-to-institution are also vital types of feedback. The study followed the mixed method approach to investigate the perceptions of 148 students in the Department of Educational Management universities in South Africa. Of the participants, 143 responded to questionnaires, and the remaining 5 were interviewed by means of a semi-structured interview schedule. The findings indicate that e-tutors did provide feedback to their students, and also that the efficient provision of effective feedback is essential to student learning and continues to be a key concern for many higher education institutions. However, the study also revealed that e-tutors provided conventional, one-dimensional assessment feedback, with negative consequences for teaching and learning. It is recommended that e-tutors should give feedback that encourages students rather than expressing criticism.

This descriptive case study explores the support that supervisors in the College of Education (CEDU) at the University of South Africa (UNISA) give to Ethiopian doctoral students. It is important to inquire into supervisors' views about the support that they give to students as part of their supervision especially in the open distance and e-learning (ODeL) higher education context. Twelve supervisors who are or have supervised Ethiopian doctoral students were selected by convenience sampling and interviewed individually to gather their views about the support they give (or have given) to their students. Supervisors' views were augmented by other key stakeholders' views to deepen the understanding of support. The findings reveal that supervisors, though faced with unique challenges, made efforts to support students emotionally, academically, and by being the extended hand of UNISA when students could not access certain services or resources. Doctoral students who are faced with contextual challenges can succeed if they are given proper support which is motivated by mutual respect between the supervisor and student. The study can also benefit supervisors in African universities to reflect on the support that they give to their students, especially in the situations that are posed by the students' circumstances.

ABSTRACT The management of virtual education was a strategy to give continuity to the academic demand; however, this situation generated problems in the mental health of all educational agents. The objective of the study was to identify the management of virtual education and mental health in times of pandemic. The method used was the systematic review of research on the subject. Regarding the selection criteria, 11 articles from the ProQuest databases from the years 2020 to 2022 were analyzed. The conclusion was that the contributions found indicate that the pandemic had an abrupt impact on virtual education and mental health of students, teachers and parents who expressed stress, anxiety and helplessness for different reasons, so it was important to provide socio-affective and cognitive support in education through workshops and psychological training.

The Covid-19 pandemic brought the world to a grinding halt, adversely affecting almost every sector including the post school education and training (PSET) sector. The South African PSET sector is no exception. The academic enterprise was abruptly disrupted and led to a serious loss of teaching and learning time as the government passed new regulations discouraging movement and physical meetings of people. The state of disaster regulations and lockdown directives pronounced during March 2020 by the South African government presented an unprecedented way of operating since the formation of many higher education institutions (HEIs). This study assesses the state of e-learning before and after the first six weeks of lockdown regulations in two HEIs, using a theoretical framework of e-learning system readiness assessment and a participatory research approach. The study reveals a state of under-preparedness by HEIs to operate under the lockdown regulations, due to the adopted blended learning policy implementation gap. Based on these findings, the study concludes with an argument that the Covid-19 pandemic presented a great opportunity for HEIs not only to adopt e-learning at the policy level but also to adapt to the new e-learning methods and practices and thus prepare universities for times of uncertainty.
