This paper responds directly to the question, how do we communicate our philosophy of art education? It does this by drawing upon previous research with House of Imagination,School Without Walls and doctoral research exploring children's learning identity as artists, to illuminate a philosophical approach to art education and its pedagogy that highlights both human and more‐than‐human dimensions of learning in communities of practice involving artists, researchers and educators working alongside children and young people where spaces of possibility for practice and innovation emerge. The paper focuses particularly on current and creative research in the Forest of Imagination, a long‐term participatory contemporary arts and architecture event in Bath, UK. Forest of Imagination offers an alternative, creative approach to learning, focusing on ecological imagination and nature connection. As a new aesthetic imaginary, the Forest of Imagination is a living, breathing art classroom, inspiring curiosity, imagination and a deeper connection with the natural world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Teaching and learning programming, and especially Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), is a complicated and challenging task. Students have to comprehend various OOP concepts and utilize them for designing object-oriented programs. Various types of educational programming environments, such as microworlds and educational games, have been devised for supporting novices mainly in comprehending OOP concepts. However, such environments do not usually support students in the conceptual design of object-oriented programs of a considerable length and complexity. In this paper, we focus on a systematic mapping study (SMS) of educational programming environments for enhancing the conceptual design in OOP, which relies on modularity, abstraction and encapsulation. The research questions investigate the intended learning outcomes, the empirical evidence on the effectiveness, and the teaching/learning technologies used by educational programming environments for enhancing the conceptual design in OOP. The findings can support instructors in selecting appropriate tools for their courses and researchers in the field of educational programming environments for OOP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The world never saw Covid-19 pandemic coming. It disrupted all human systems including education. This pandemic caused a shutdown of the popular face-to-face-teaching and learning with digital and online teaching as the only alternative. However, this, being the only solution further exposed the deep inequalities in South Africa education where not all learners and teachers had access to internet facilities, electronic devices, ICT gargets, and skills. These learners were disadvantaged even when schools returned to normalcy. With this, the aim of this paper is to explore the lesson from Covid with the purpose of suggesting sustainable ways in the face of future pandemic that may disrupt education system. The main question in this paper is: How can education in South Africa be reinvented to be sustainable, inclusive, and equitable in the face of unforeseen pandemics? This paper is under pinned by the Chaos theory and employs a systematic review of literature within qualitative methodology. The findings of this paper reveal the under-preparedness for Covid, its implication and disruption to teaching and learning, and the need for inclusive and sustainable education system that can withstand any futuristic pandemic in South Africa. It also advocates for an inclusive and equitable education system, which makes this paper relevant and significant for contemporary education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Immersive Virtual Reality (I-VR) is becoming increasingly prevalent in today's society and is a technology that is being used more and more in educational contexts and whose potential for learning has been widely discussed. Taking into account the latest research in neuroscience, we want to explore the potential of using immersive virtual environments to facilitate deep learning in educational contexts that invoke the value of experience, imitation and repetition. Neurodidactics seems to offer the most interesting insights into how participation in a virtual reality session can positively affect learning processes: this suggests that it is worth focusing on the learning processes that can be generated by this emerging technology. The paper concludes with some practical suggestions for design, addressing both the didactic experience and the learning objects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (GAI) have sparked debates and research on its transformative potential in education. This study explored how a specific group of educators partner with GAI tools, particularly ChatGPT, to complement and enhance their teaching. Within an interpretative paradigm, the study used an exploratory case study design to investigate how 13 educators enrolled as students in a structured master's programme at an open distance learning university in South Africa use GAI tools in their teaching. Their posts on a discussion forum were used to collect data. Findings reveal that they actively employ GAI to streamline their teaching practices, specifically to personalized tutors, simplifying English texts and translations, assessments, lesson planning, and critical thinking tasks. The study also highlights the need to understand the limitations and boundaries of GAI, including concerns about accuracy, biases and reliability. Importantly, the absence of institutional guidelines on GAI raises questions about the necessity for clear guidelines and policies to ensure responsible and ethical integration in educational contexts. The paper concludes by emphasizing the transformative potential of GAI and the fact that it will increasingly act as a partner in teaching and influence modern teaching practices. Ultimately, GAI's foothold in education is undeniable, challenging educators and policymakers to navigate its implications while maximizing its potential to support effective teaching.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, the pivotal axis around which transformation revolves is human-AI interaction. In this sense, this paper adopts a data mining and analytic approach to understand what the related literature tells us regarding the trends and patterns of generative AI research in educational praxis. Accordingly, this systematic exploration spotlights the following research themes: Interaction and communication with generative AI-powered chatbots; impact of the LLMs and generative AI on teaching and learning, conversational educational agents and their opportunities, challenges, and implications; leveraging Generative AI for enhancing social and cognitive learning processes; promoting AI literacy for unleashing future opportunities; harnessing Generative AI to expand academic capabilities, and lastly, augmenting educational experiences through human-AI interaction. Beyond the identified research themes and patterns, this paper argues that emotional intelligence, AI literacy, and prompt engineering are the trending research topics that require further exploration. Accordingly, it's in this praxis that emotional intelligence emerges as a pivotal attribute, as AI technologies often struggle to comprehend and respond to the nuanced emotional cues. Generative AI literacy then takes center stage, becoming an indispensable asset in an era permeated with AI technologies, equipping students with the tools to critically engage with AI systems, thereby ensuring they become active, discerning users of these powerful tools. Concurrently, prompt engineering, the art of crafting queries that yield precise and valuable responses from AI systems, empowers both educators and students to maximize the utility of AI-driven educational resources.

The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is frequently used to assess occupational burnout and the Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory (EPII) is a new tool for assessing pandemic impacts. This study's objective is to describe chiropractic faculty members' experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, their burnout as professional educators, and their strategies for coping with stress. A Qualtrics survey link was emailed to 73 current faculty and 10 previously employed faculty from 1 chiropractic school. The survey included 22 MBI, 31 EPII, and 2 questions about coping strategies. Faculty were given several weeks to complete the survey, were reminded via emails and meeting announcements, and were given paper surveys to increase participation. Responses were analyzed in STATA17. Forty-three faculty completed the survey (response rate = 52%). Of these, 25.8% reported testing positive for COVID-19, 30.23% reported difficulties transitioning to working from home, and 25.5% scored high on the MBI subscale for emotional exhaustion (EE) (mean 15.79, SD 13.68). Higher EE was associated with pandemic-related increases in mental health and sleep problems. Common coping strategies included self-care and social support. The majority of faculty reported neither contracting COVID-19 nor having difficulty transitioning to work from home. Average EE for participating faculty was lower than previous reports although a quarter scored high in EE, which may be associated with pandemic-related mental health and sleep problems. These results suggest chiropractic faculty might need support coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and indicate the need for future research on burnout among faculty from other chiropractic institutions.

This paper addresses Lukes' and Hayward's arguments that power should be conceived as agential versus structural. My fieldwork at Mitchell Primary School demonstrated that educators and students at Mitchell were structurally constrained and enabled but also exercised agency in navigating these institutional boundaries. Not only are both structural and agential conceptions of power valid, considering their interplay moves social analyses forward—at Mitchell, teachers' otherwise-frequent metacognitive talk evaporated when their inclusion-oriented practices were more distant from institutional norms. Understanding power requires including its sources (from the individual actor to social structure) as one key dimension. Using this understanding could help educators more intentionally make conscious choices about their inclusion practices as they navigate their school environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Modern world trends in education, in response to major socio - economic changes and rapid technical and technological development, have imposed the need for appropriate changes in the organizational setup of the classroom as the basic environment of organized learning. The purpose of these changes is to establish a process of continuous improvement of work in schools, which in turn will lead to quality assurance in education. In this paper, we will look at the classroom as a micro-environment of organized learning from which it is required to adapt and respond to the contemporary level of development, to provide a warm and nice atmosphere and to prepare students who can respond to all the challenges that brings with it new time.

The development of inclusive cultures and practices in academia can be substantiated not only in references to the two traditional missions of universities, namely Teaching and Research but can find a generative way through a third mission, namely that of "Third Mission and Social Impact". Italian universities assume this programmatic horizon to make available and accessible the social value of scientific research that is also carried out in synergy with territories, institutions, and communities. This paper intends to conduct an action of conceptualization and legitimization of the "Third Mission" in universities and, at the same time, to highlight the transformative practices and emancipatory processes underlying the strategic actions of the universities. In particular, starting from the analysis of the Strategic Plans of 88 Italian universities, this contribution delves into the pedagogical dimensions that characterize the "Third Mission" and, therefore, seeks to highlight the role of Special Pedagogy for the enhancement of knowledge and the creation of new connections of social impact.

This paper explores the identity notion in the context of the teacher-pupil relationship and its impact on professional development. The study draws on international comparative research focusing on Bulgarian teachers and an example of one lesson in the mother tongue (Bulgarian language). The concept of professional identity is examined, encompassing various components such as the profession's philosophy, skills, attitude toward work, and interactions with colleagues. It is argued that professional identity is tied to social dedication and cultural values closely. The relationship between teachers and pupils involves coordination, cooperation, and co-construction which are essential for creating an orderly learning environment. The teacher's identity, social interactions, and significant memories influence the pupil's identity formation. The connection between the body and identity is also explored, highlighting the nature of subjectivity and its cultural influences. The research emphasizes the need for a qualitative approach to understand how the body shapes the identities of both teachers and pupils and how environmental factors contribute to this process. Overall, this study contributes to our understanding of the complex nature of professional identity in the teaching profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite extensive research looking at the phenomenon of burnout, little is known about how individuals working in traditionally high-burnout occupations understand the term. Interviews were conducted with six teachers working in state schools in England centring on how the term burnout was understood and how it was used or encountered. Reflexive thematic analysis was employed from a critical realist perspective to analyse the data generated. All participants described burnout as a stress-related condition, yet for some participants the point at which stress became burnout was unclear leading to an understanding that burnout was the point at which one was unable to work. Many participants highlighted an individualistic understanding of burnout, perceiving it as representing an individual deficit rather than an organisational failing. This was often reinforced by where the term was encountered (at work or in the media) and was linked to the stigma many participants associated with burnout. This paper concludes that individualistic framings of burnout obscure its organisational determinants while reinforcing notions that mental well-being is something which should be personally – and privately – managed by individuals.

Purpose: Worldwide, schools implement social-emotional learning programs to enhance students' social-emotional skills. Although parents play an essential role in teaching these skills, knowledge about their perspectives on social-emotional learning is limited. In providing insight into the perspectives of parents from adolescent students this paper adds to this knowledge. Design/methodology/approach: An explorative qualitative study was conducted to gain insight into parents' perspectives (N = 32) on adolescent social-emotional learning. A broadly used professional framework for social emotional learning was used as a frame of reference in interviews with parents from diverse backgrounds. Within and across case analyses were applied to analyze the interviews. Findings: A conceptual model of four social-emotional skills constructs considered crucial learning by parents emerged from the data: respectful behavior, cooperation, self-knowledge and self-reliance. Parents' language, interpretations and orderings of skills indicate that the model underlying these constructs differs from skills embedded in the professional framework. Research limitations/implications: Participants were small in number and mainly female. Therefore, more research is necessary to test the model in other parent populations. Practical implications: The social-emotional skills students in prevocational secondary education learn at home differ from those targeted in SEL programs. Engaging students' parents in SEL program implementation is indicated to align the skills taught at home and school. Preparing teachers to implement such programs requires training them on engaging parents from diverse backgrounds. Originality/value: The study is one of the first providing insight into parents' perspectives on SEL, the social-emotional skills deemed crucial to master for adolescents, and the roles they view for themselves and school on teaching these skills.

The need to give basic economic information and teach economic concepts to children at an early age is the theoretical and practical basis of many international studies reflected in the works of many researchers; The paper examines regional and global studies on economic education and economic awareness in early education, particularly among preschool children; focuses on theoretical and legal approaches to the age classification of early childhood children based on national and international legislation; identifies the optimal age for the formation, development, and strengthening of economic awareness among preschoolers, and suggests the ways and appropriate educational materials to achieve this goal. The research is based on a complex, interdisciplinary methodology and includes document examination, comparison, classification and systematization, content analysis and data synthesis. In accordance with the objectives of the study we have reviewed works in the fields of economics and economic consciousness, pedagogy, psychology, early childhood education and education in general. Our research hypothesis is that economic education and building of economic awareness at an early age are essential for raising and shaping a successful citizen. The following conclusions were drawn from the research: * promoting the growth and enhancement of economic awareness and teaching basic economic concepts through simple language at an early age (4-6 years according to our classification) is the basis for creating a future successful citizen equipped with the essential life skills; * financial education is often equated with economic education, that we believe is not correct, since it is a narrower field based on specific financial concepts (e.g. money, loans, savings, etc.), while economic awareness and education encompass the fundamental concepts of relationships related to practical issues in the routine life. * the national and international scientific-legal basis of the child's age and development stages are in harmony with each other and completely correspond to the commonly accepted norms; * the review of scientific literature revealed that while diverse criteria are used to classify the stages of child development, the basic divisions include the child's physical, cognitive, speech/language, and social/emotional development. * Although scientific works from both Georgia and abroad extensively analyze the age division of young children according to their growth and capacities, no particular age group has been directly linked to the learning/teaching of economic concepts and economic awareness; * based on the works of Georgian and international scientists that have studied, we believe that the best age for children to promote fundamental economic education and develop economic awareness at an early age is between 4 and 6 years (inclusive), which is pre-school or early education age. * early development and reinforcement of economic awareness enhances students' readiness for a greater comprehension of social science fundamentals in general at later stages of education. * considering the vast number of studies on the value of early childhood education, we think it's important to study this issue in Georgia more thoroughly and broadly, as well as to cooperate with other researchers/experts in this field for creation of a methodological framework for the development of economic awareness in young children. * and finally, we believe that children's literature, particularly fairy tales, stories, and rhymes on socio-economic topics can indeed illustrate basic economic concepts and teaching them to children using the right approach directly ensures the achievement of the goal.

Sports, with their various social manifestations, exhibit racist structures and incidents. Physical education (PE) has the potential to serve as an environment to combat racism, but it can also perpetuate and (re)produce racist attitudes and behaviors. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of national (German) and international literature concerning racism and anti-racism within the context of PE specifically from a students' perspective. The research methodology followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standard and encompassed a four-step process: (1) searching 11 electronic databases using 70 keyword combinations in both German and English; (2) selecting studies based on five predetermined inclusion criteria; (3) evaluating the quality of selected studies using established appraisal tools; and (4) conducting descriptive and template analyses. Of 5,213 publications, 16 met the inclusion criteria, demonstrating diverse theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches. Five themes were constructed: "How racism is understood" (1); "What students experience," encompassing discriminatory incidents in PE, sports, and daily life classified as racial stereotypes, prejudices, and everyday racism (2); and "What physical education teachers (3)/Institutions (4)/researchers (5) can and should do." These themes provided recommendations for teachers, institutions, and researchers, including training and curriculum reforms. While valuable international literature was identified, no German PE specific publications were found emphasizing the necessity of a local (German) survey to comprehend students' experiences, knowledge, and potential for anti-racism efforts. Such insights are crucial for shaping teacherrelated training programs and policy demands in an informed and targeted manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We are living in a time of earth systems breakdown. Humankind and other life on our planet are on the brink, most likely the brink of collapse in some form. The task before us as educators is great since this is a time of multiple and complex crises. However, humanity seems paralysed, unable to face the immensity and urgency of the combined challenges before us. At its heart, this paper considers Simone Weil's proposals regarding rootlessness in light of the present global crises and seeks to address her assertion that education is part of the problem. A religious education which can be concerned not only with matters of the world, but with human connectedness in and to the world is sought. It is proposed that an approach to teaching drawn from Weil, might be able to bring something restorative to education in the public sphere for these times. A practical example of this is included in the closing section. This is one which brings children to attend to, and discern from, what it is to live a religious way of life conceptualised in relation to existence and not only as belief and practice, raising questions for future research consideration.

Current projections show that between 2000 and 2050, increasing proportions of older individuals will be cared for by a smaller number of healthcare workers, which will exacerbate the existing challenges faced by those who support this patient demographic. This review of a collection of Age and Ageing papers on the topic in the past 10 years explores (1) what best practice geriatrics education is and (2) how careers in geriatrics could be made more appealing to improve recruitment and retention. Based on these deeper understandings, we consider, as clinician educators, how to close the gap both pragmatically and theoretically. We point out paradigm shifting solutions that include innovations at the Undergraduate level, use of simulation, incorporation of learner and patient perspectives, upskilling professionals outside of Geriatrics and integration of practice across disciplines through Interprofessional Learning. We also identify an education research methodological gap. Specifically, there is an abundance of simple descriptive or justification studies but few clarification education studies; the latter are essential to develop fresh insights into how Undergraduate students can learn more effectively to meet the needs of the global ageing challenge. A case of improving understanding in delirium education is presented as an illustrative example of a new approach to exploring at greater depth education and outlines suggested directions for the future.

EDUCATION ,TEACHING ,MONEY - Abstract
In this paper, I argue against the prevailing view that Aristophanes in the Clouds characterizes Socrates as a "sophistic" teacher-for-pay. To do so, I reexamine the play's five potential references to teaching payments—Strepsiades' description of the Thinkery (98–99), his offer of a wage (245–249), the Clouds' exhortation to Socrates (804–812), a joke about Hyperbolus (874–876), and the "honor" that Socrates receives from Strepsiades (1146–1147)—within the framework of Aristophanes' comic technique. I demonstrate that Aristophanes, particularly in the sections of the play most significant for the characterization of Socrates (126–509 and 627–803), portrays Socrates not as a venal teacher looking to take advantage of his students but as an impractical intellectual who has no concern for money.

Enhancing course design and pedagogy to encourage engagement and creativity is fundamental in doctoral education. Using poetry is an innovative way to enrich nursing education through aesthetic knowing. The authors in this paper aim to describe an educational exercise utilizing the Cut-Up Method to create haiku poems. PhD nursing students used the Cut-Up Method to produce haiku poems describing the meaning of nursing science. Themes from the haiku poems include relationship building, caring and caring relationships, and the evolution of nursing. Learning activities promote aesthetic knowing to facilitate engagement, creativity, and collaboration. The Cut-Up Method and haikus are creative ways of developing aesthetic knowing.

TEACHING ,STUDENT teachers ,EDUCATION ,PROFESSIONAL identity ,LEARNING - Abstract
What happens when affection and the awareness of affectivity, in the sense of 'love' or 'tenderness', become the objects of training and evaluation in pre-service teacher education? Our theoretical framework describes the link between positive emotional arousal and learning, the role played by the emotional dimension in the construction of a professional teaching identity, and the relevance of a teacher's historical-emotional background for the cognitive construction of heuristics. We developed a teaching program designed to energize the experience of pre-service teachers in the university classroom. Through positive emotional arousal, we aimed to provoke a series of creative reflection processes regarding the teaching profession. Our research goal was to describe and interpret the program's potential effects on the learning process and the construction of these pre-service teachers' professional identity. The method applied in this paper was action-research carried out during three academic years of fieldwork with a total of 365 students. We coded the students' narratives regarding their learning process and teaching identity into several conceptual nodes representing their insights and feelings concerning those topics. Our results and discussion highlight the importance of affective teacher education as a means of enhancing pre-service teachers' learning, contributing toward the growth of their professional identity, and cultivating a culture of care and love in the classroom.

Despite the great importance attached to physics as a core science course that aids the learning of other subjects like mathematics, chemistry, agriculture, biology, computer, geography, and other vocational subjects in high schools to upgrade their knowledge on the physical world, some pre-service teachers still see physics as a very difficult subject that only exist in an abstract form. As a result of this, some pre-service physics teachers find it a challenge when offering or teaching physics as a course in colleges of education and high schools during their teaching practice. The reasons contributing to this is not far from; poor teaching and learning approach, lack of modern practical equipment, and incompetent lecturers among many others. As a result of this, this study finds it necessary to investigate the preserve teachers' perceptions about the difficult nature of physics as a field of study in a college of education. In achieving this, the study was conducted among some college of education students taking physics as a major or minor field of study in a college of education. And this study was carried out using a quantitative approach of data collection among the 46 students taking physics as a course in a college of education in Nigeria. The result of the finding confirmed that there is a high percentage of the participants taking physics who reported that the teaching process, adopted when learning it, lacks some vital resources, such as motivation, good practical tools, and competent lecturers among many other. As a result of this, some students have taken physics as a difficult subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Electrochemistry education of future researchers is crucial if we are to decarbonise economies and reach targets for net zero, and this arguably begins with education in electrochemistry within undergraduate degrees. This paper reviews the teaching of electrochemistry in UK universities at the undergraduate degree level. We review where and how electrochemical concepts are introduced into chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science programmes. We provide some motivation for this review, which was stimulated by discussions from a workshop on the 'Future of Fundamental Electrochemistry Research in the UK', held in 2022. We summarise briefly how consensus on UK degree programme course content has been reached and inconsistencies that remain. Electrochemistry curriculum content from a convenience sample of UK universities, and disciplines, has been collected and is summarised, with a reflection on some trends. Finally, we present some implications for policy. A roadmap is suggested to ensure that the teaching of electrochemical fundamentals is addressed in the curriculum at an appropriate level to underpin the many technically relevant applications of electrochemistry that graduates will encounter in their further education or employment.

Electrochemistry education of future researchers and citizens is crucial if we are to decarbonise economies and reach targets for net zero. In this paper, we take an overview of electrochemistry within school education. We used curriculum documents obtained from national and state education department websites and from local teachers, examples of assessments and insights from the chemistry education literature to evaluate the extent of electrochemistry education around the world. We found that there is a great deal of electrochemistry included in the intended curriculum for high schools although there is variability depending on how early students are able to specialise in a smaller number of subjects. A range of contexts are used to illustrate the key ideas including galvanic and electrolytic cells, electrolysis and analysis. There is generally constructive alignment between assessment items and the intended curriculum although in some cases assessment was more simplistic than the intended curriculum would suggest. The effectiveness of the taught curriculum is undermined by low teacher confidence in teaching electrochemistry especially more advanced concepts. Additionally, there are a number of misconceptions generated when students learn electrochemistry with some of these potentially arising from published resources such as textbooks.

NATIVE language ,ENGLISH language ,EDUCATIONAL objectives ,COMMUNICATIVE competence ,LINGUISTIC context - Abstract
The generally accepted objective of ELT is to get learners to achieve communicative competence, defined in reference to native speaker norms of usage. Success is then measured by how far learners conform to these norms. We argue that this is essentially a training activity which directs learners to satisfy a predictable goal specified in advance. But if ELT is to serve an educational purpose it needs to prepare learners to deal with the unpredictable communicative demands they will encounter when they become users of English ‘for real’ so to speak, beyond the end of their course and its assessment. It will need to educate them by investing in a capability to adapt to these demands. Such an educational perspective would involve integrating English with the learners’ previous language experience, thereby extending the range of their existing capability. English would then not be, as it currently tends to be, represented as dissociated from their familiar experience, but an additional linguistic resource which their capability can continue to exploit and develop as they learn by using language as a lingua franca in the communicative contexts of the real world.

Owing to the predominant role of Machine Learning(ML) across domains, it is being introduced at multiple levels of education, including K-12. Researchers have leveraged games, augmented reality and other ways to make learning ML concepts interesting. However, most of the existing games to teach ML concepts either focus on use-cases and applications of ML instead of core concepts or directly introduce ML terminologies, which might be overwhelming to school students. Hence, in this paper, we propose ML-Quest, a game to incrementally present a conceptual overview of three ML concepts: Supervised Learning, Gradient Descent and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) Classification. The game has been evaluated through a controlled experiment, for its usefulness and player experience using the TAM model, with 41 higher-secondary school students. Results show that students in the experimental group perform better in the test than students in the control group, with 5% of students in the experimental group scoring full marks. However, none of the students in the control group could score full marks. The survey results indicate that around 77% of the participants who played the game either agree or strongly agree that ML-Quest has made their learning interactive and is helpful in introducing them to ML concepts.

Gender perspectives and feminism are rarely considered legitimate in business school education. Existing research tells us that those who teach in business schools do so in conditions where feminist theories and pedagogy evoke resistance and where their work is paved with discomfort caused by tensions between feminist and neoliberal idea(l)s. We argue that for those challenging the status quo in the business school through teaching, the impact of the threat of resistance can be as "real" as that of realized resistance. In this paper, we engage with collaborative autoethnography and elucidate how our anticipation of resistance shapes the way we teach, even when resistance does not materialize in the classroom. Building on reflections of our shared experiences, we theorize anticipated resistance as productive in and of itself, challenging the conventional view of resistance as brought into being through resisting practices at a specific time and place.

In the current context of the undergraduate PR academic education in the United Kingdom degrees being shut down or merged with other communication disciplines, the present essay represents a timely reflection on the results and internal incoherence of PR education provision in the United Kingdom. Starting from the key idea that public relations is a mature occupation and academic social discipline, we developed a thorough analysis of PR fields, where we analysed the intra- and inter-dynamics between these various types of fields, aiming at identifying the main issues that impact the teaching of PR and its academic expressions. Drawn from the field analysis, we then focused on two key trends which currently shape the undergraduate PR education in the UK to recommend changes to the process of curriculum development that reconstructs the social value of Public Relations.

This research explores into the experiences of teachers in Department of Education public schools, focusing on their demonstration of "love for children" in the teaching environment. It employs an auto-ethnographic qualitative research design, involving three current Department of Education employees in SOCCSKSARGEN. Four themes emerged from the participants' shared experiences: service of love, presence, positive discipline, and belief in the young. The "service of love" theme highlights teachers' commitment to providing exceptional support and nurturing environments for children. "Presence" underscores the importance of teachers being fully engaged and emotionally invested, creating a valued and safe atmosphere. "Positive discipline" emphasizes constructive and empathetic methods to guide behavior, maintaining dignity and self-esteem. Lastly, "belief in the young" recognizes every child's potential, with teachers nurturing and encouraging it. This study offers profound insights into loving children in teaching, emphasizing love as service, being fully present, using positive discipline, and unwavering belief in every child's potential. These insights can enhance academic learning and holistic development, with implications for teaching philosophy and practice in public education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Basic life support (BLS) is a life-saving link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest chain of survival. Most members of the public are capable of providing BLS but are more likely to do so confidently and effectively if they undertake BLS training. Lay members of the public comprise diverse and specific populations and may benefit from tailored BLS training. Data on this topic are scarce, and it is completely unknown if there are any benefits arising from tailored courses or for whom course adaptations should be developed. Methods: The primary objective of this scoping review was to identify and describe differences in patient, clinical, and educational outcomes when comparing tailored versus standard BLS courses for specific layperson populations. This review was undertaken as part of the continuous evidence evaluation process of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. Results: A primary search identified 1307 studies and after title, abstract, and full-text screening, we included eight publications reporting on tailored courses for specific populations. There were no studies reporting direct comparisons between tailored and standardized training. Seven (88%) studies investigated courses tailored for individuals with a disability, and only one study covered another specific population group (refugees). Overall, the quality of evidence was low as the studies did not compare tailored vs. non-tailored approaches or consisted of observational or pre–post-designed investigations. Conclusions: Tailored BLS education for specific populations is likely feasible and can include such groups into the pool of potential bystander resuscitation providers. Research into comparing tailored vs. standard courses, their cost-to-benefit ratio, how to best adapt courses, and how to involve members of the respective communities should be conducted. Additionally, tailored courses for first responders with and without a duty to respond could be explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: One of the significant aspects of education is the teaching and learning process. In other words, all educational activities aim to create a suitable environment for the realization of this process. The goal of this study is to design a model of teaching-learning culture in schools. Methodology: From an objective standpoint, this research falls within the category of applied studies. It also follows a qualitative approach and utilizes ethnography as its methodology. The study population includes educational science professors, all administrators, and teachers in the city of Noor. For gathering information on theoretical foundations and literature, a review of books, journals, theses, and other documents available in specialized libraries was conducted. The research tools used were interviews and non-participant observation. Findings: The findings indicate that assessment in Noor's schools is of two types: continuous and final. In most of the public schools, teaching methods are traditional and teacher-centered, whereas in schools for gifted students, they are student-centered, with the teacher playing a supervisory role. The teaching and learning culture in these schools is considered weak. Loss of motivation is one of the influential factors in reducing the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process in Noor. Due to financial issues and resource limitations in schools, facilities are also inadequate. Conclusion: Overall, it can be inferred that current education is not aimed at lasting and standard learning but rather merely at achieving grades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To date, discussion regarding autism in education has been primarily concerned with autistic students, and research usually relates to pedagogical practices that can be implemented by neurotypical teachers to support them. Seldom does the conversation around autism in the classroom consider autistic teachers, which automatically negates lived experience which could provide critical insights into inclusive education. This review examines literature which is concerned with the lived experiences of autistic teachers in education settings from early childhood to high school, with the purpose of illuminating the understanding of autism in schools. This study finds that autistic teachers are more prevalent than traditional ideas about education have suggested, with many teachers deciding to hide their autism due to negative stereotypes and discriminatory behaviour. This study focuses on the range of strengths and challenges that autistic teachers experience and highlights a gap in the literature exploring lived experience of autistic teachers, conducted by autistic researchers. The study concludes that autistic voices are essential for addressing disconnects between inclusive education theory and practice; a disconnect which creates barriers to success for autistic people in society.

The paper deals with a problem of assessing of individual progress of students' cartographic skills. For teacher it is important to evaluate it not only in a form of tests and semester works, but also in a less formal, score-oriented manner. The author uses mental sketches to observe results of a teaching process. The research is based on previously described author's method with modification to trace individual, anonymized changes. The identical cartographic survey (map drawing task) was conducted and repeated among students five times during the entire study cycle. Results were analyzed with cartographic methodology in mind, to assess the skills of students, their progress and used methods of presentation. Students' approach to using point, line and areal features were tested as well as design abilities in case of symbols. Information on progress and skills were used not only to observe statistical changes. The outcomes were applied in a process of evaluating the teaching effectiveness. The survey was conducted in a relation to real courses, hence the results are of great value in increasing the quality of studies and teaching methods. Some of ideas have already been introduced in cartography and GIS classes taught by the author. Sketches allow assessing of different aspects of spatial knowledge and skills. Sketches could be applied as an element of knowledge evaluation and to trace individual progress in anonymous way without being oriented on students' grades. Proposed model gives a teacher information on quality and efficiency of teaching. It can be applied to update map-making courses content. The approach can be used in other, drawing-based, courses.

The skills and attitudes acquired in the classes allow the student to get to know and understand the world around him better, to learn more easily in the natural and social environment and to make decisions about personal prosperity. This research includes 300 students, emphasizes the issue of the quality of education in secondary schools, with a focus on the acquisition of knowledge through innovative methods, as well as the issue of the quality of students' acquired knowledge, the impact on student achievements. Interactions between students and lecturers. Quality knowledge belongs to the level of recognition and reproduction. However, the test results so far show serious deficiencies and failures in teaching in the Republic of Kosovo, indicating the necessity of applying modern techniques and methods of the teaching process in order to improve the quality of teaching, which, among other things, requires personal creativity and engagement of teachers. In order for the aforementioned methods and techniques of curriculum implementation to be applicable, teachers need to be additionally educated and provided with appropriate contemporary literature in these areas. The paper presents the results of the statistical software package SPSS version 25, about students' attitudes about developing the ability to use modern methods and techniques in teaching based on age, gender in relation to the program of attendance. Researchers suggest the use of innovative methods that have proven to be useful in the teaching and learning process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The increasing societal and linguistic diversity in schools challenge traditional teaching approaches and call for pedagogies that cater to the growing number of multilingual pupils. Translanguaging pedagogies can offer multilinguals a productive learning environment that helps them leverage their resources for learning. Translanguaging studies in early childhood education are still scant, especially those that involve emergent multilinguals, focus on adult–child and peer interactions, and examine children's agency. The present paper from multilingual Luxembourg examines the engagement of two three-year-olds in adult-led and child-led activities in two early childhood education settings as well the ways in which they creatively reproduced translingual activities and strategies in peer interactions. The data of the qualitative study stem from 128 excerpts, video-recorded over the course of a year. The findings show that the children's language use and active engagement depended on the pedagogy and the practitioners' language-supportive strategies. In peer interactions, they creatively reproduced routine activities, thereby transforming formulaic speech, as well as the practitioners' strategy use. The findings can guide curriculum developers and practitioners when implementing inclusive translanguaging practices in early childhood education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digitization of schools has increased significantly in recent years and is generating a massive innovation boost in education. This development is accompanied by an increased demand for new digital educational objects for schools. The resources required for creating such objects (expert knowledge from teaching contexts versus technological knowledge and infrastructures) are distributed among different groups of actors from digital economy and educational practice. Therefore, the production of such new objects requires new forms of cooperation in the education sector. This article discusses such a hybrid collaboration between a software developer and the teachers of two pilot schools for the creation of interactive learning software. We examine this collaborative relationship in light of different bodies of knowledge that both groups of actors bring to the relationship and that need to be reconciled. We also examine the ways in which the organizational boundaries between schools and companies are temporarily blurred, and the distribution of costs and benefits between the participating groups of actors. By looking at the various dimensions of the cooperative commercial production of these digital objects as well as their (prototypical) experimental stage, the paper analyses the digital transformation of teaching as an innovative social process, structured by economic and educational rationalities.

In contribution to a body of scholarship that examines teaching as a form of learning, the paper addresses a central question: What can be learnt from organised mobilisation to educate in communities eager to strengthen their unique biocultural heritage? The question is explored through an examination of two grassroots education projects in Latin American provincial locations rich in history. Studied ethnographically over a period of fifteen years from the point of view of the educators who run them, these two projects offer a unique opportunity to examine the formation and the mobilisation of value in education. I show how popular education and agroecology methods are used in both cases to face socio-ecological conflicts and refocus developmental tensions. I conclude with a short reflection on UNESCO's 2020 approach to education and its vital role in radically reconfiguring humanity's place and agency on planet Earth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
