Understanding Technology-Integrated Work Through the HRD-Care Model: Evidence from a Multigenerational Caregiver Qualitative Study

Abstract:

Digital technologies are now central to how learning facilitators coordinate work, sustain participation, and demonstrate reliability in technology-integrated environments. For those with multigenerational caregiving responsibilities, technology simultaneously enables continuity and intensifies coordination demands. Guided by the HRD-CARE model—which conceptualizes caregiving through care-role complexity, temporal–emotional load, and the employment interface—this qualitative study examines how learning facilitators use digital tools to sustain full-time employment while navigating competing caregiving obligations. Findings show that technology functions as continuity infrastructure, supports boundary work through digital coordination, and contributes to developmental trade-offs when time and energy are constrained. Although technology expands feasible participation, it does not eliminate role collision and may increase the visibility of caregiving-driven variability at key developmental gateways. The study advances HRD scholarship by demonstrating how caregiving conditions shape participation, development, and access to opportunities in technology-integrated work

Sam M Dakka Department of Engineering & Math, Sheffield Hallam University, Howard Street, Sheffield S1 1WB,United Kingdom  ABSTRACT Learning and teaching experiment was designed to incorporate SRS-Student Response System to measure and assess student engagement in higher education for level 5 engineering students. The SRS system was based on getting an immediate student feedback to short quizzes lasting 10 to 15 minutes using Socrative software. The structure of the questions was a blend of true/false, multiple choice and short answer questions. The experiment was conducted through semester 2 of yearlong engineering module. The outcome of the experiment was analyzed quantitatively based on student performance and qualitatively through student questionnaire. The results indicate that using student paced assessments method using Socrative enhanced student’s performance. The results showed that 53% of the students improved their performance while 23% neither improved...

Using Socrative and Smartphones for the support of collaborative learning

Image
International Journal on Integrating Technology in Education  (IJITE) ISSN : 2320 - 1886(Online; 2320 - 3935(Print)  http://airccse.org/journal/ijite/home.html Abstract The integration of new technologies in the classrooms opens new possibilities for the teaching and learning process. Technologies such as student response system (e.g. Clicker) are getting popularity among teachers due to its effects on student learning performance. In this study, our primary objective is to investigate the effect of Socrative with combination of smartphones on student learning performance. We also observed the benefits of interactivity between the teacher and the students and among classmates, which positively influences collaborative learning and engagement of students in the class. We test these relationships experimentally in a community college class environment using data from a survey answered by students in information technology associate degree. The results of our st...

Technology-Driven Education: Insights from Collegiate Esports

 Paper Title:  Technology-Driven Education: Insights from Collegiate Esports Authors:  Rochell McWhorter, Julie Delello and Rob E. Carpenter, University of Texas at Tyler, USA Abstract: This case study investigated how collegiate eSports players navigate the physical, mental, social, and academic challenges associated with competitive gaming, with a focus on its implications for adult education. Through in-depth interviews, the study explored players' diverse gaming routines, perceptions of excessive gaming, and strategies for balancing competing demands. While eSports participation fosters cognitive skills, social bonding, and career opportunities, it also presents risks such as physical inactivity, poor dietary habits, stress, and exposure to toxic gaming behaviors. A key finding is that the eleven students independently developed strategies to address these challenges, emphasizing the importance of integrating comprehensive support systems—such as physical activity ini...
