Abstract

A Review of Screen Capture Technology Feedback Research. Screen capture technology (SCT) is one of the most widely used technologies in teaching and learning. SCT allows the user to record the screen of their computer as if a video camera was pointed at it. Anything the user does on the screen is recorded as a video and their voice is also recorded. It is principally used to create learning assets. For example, a teacher can record themselves talking over a PowerPoint presentation or a graph and then share the resulting video with students. However, the same technology can be used to provide feedback on student’s written work. It is possible, for example, for a teacher to open a student’s written work onto the screen of their computer, mark the errors and problems with the work, turn on the SCT and record themselves working through the student’s work and providing feedback. The resulting video can then be sent to the student. The students can play back the video and see their teacher correcting their paper and they can also hear their teacher’s commentary. This idea has been quite extensively researched and has been enthusiastically received by both students and teachers. This paper attempts to summarise some of the findings from the growing body of research, much of which have been connected to the topic of English Language Learning. It also suggests possible directions for future research.

REZUMAT. O trecere în revistă a cercetării asupra feedbackului din perspective tehnologiei de tip „screen capture”. Tehnologia de tip „screen capture” (TSC) este intens utilizată în procesul de predare-învățare. TSC îi permite utilizatorului să își înregistreze ecranul calculatorului ca și cum ar avea o cameră video îndreptată spre acesta. Toate activitățile redate pe ecran sunt înregistrate, acest lucru fiind posibil inclusiv la nivelul materialelor audio. Este un tip de tehnologie folosit pentru crearea resurselor de învățare. De exemplu, un cadru didactic își poate înregistra materialul PowerPoint sau un grafic descrise oral și apoi împărtășite studenților în format video. De asemenea, TSC funcționează și în cazul în care profesorul dorește să ofere studenților feedback cu privire la sarcinile scrise ale acestora. Acest lucru este posibil prin deschiderea fișierului, marcarea greșelilor prin corecturi vizibile pe ecran și explicate verbal prin înregistarea comentariilor din partea cadrului didactic. Materialul video rezultat de aici este, după aceea, trimis studentului în cauză. Acesta din urmă vizualizează materialul, având posibilitatea de a vedea și auzi feedbackul legate de sarcina sa. Această inovație educațională a fost dezbătută și receptată cu entuaziasm atât de către profesori, cât și de către studenți. Scopul lucrării de față este să redea o sinteză a celor mai relevante discuții în jurul TSC, în strânsă legătură cu cercetările în vigoare dedicate învățării și predării limbii engleze. Ba mai mult, lucrarea merge până în punctul în care indică posibile direcții de cercetare în domeniu.

Cuvinte-cheie: feedback, reflecție, feedback dialogic, ciclul feedbackului, feedback audio, participare activă, abilități pentru secolul al XXI-lea.
