ArtSteps is an immersive virtual exhibit tool that is attractive and versatile; the user can present objects, artefacts, and art, whether it is work they have created or found in public resources. This paper presents an exploratory study on digital teacher empowerment using ArtSteps to promote innovative pedagogical methodologies involving Virtual and Immersive Learning Environments. The study involved thirty-five professors from different subject areas. The study was a qualitative and quantitative investigation aimed at understanding how virtual and immersive learning environments such as ArtSteps can promote teachers' engagement and whether teachers are receptive to using virtual environments and immersive environments in their professional practice with students. Findings suggest that teachers are receptive to introducing virtual learning and immersive environments in their teaching practice with students. Teachers' exploration of ArtSteps involved them in a virtual and immersive learning experience that motivated them to experiment with their students. A didactic proposal promotes an immersive gallery experience where different types of work can be showcased and viewed using curriculum content. [For the full proceedings, see ED639633.]

Introducing national and universal values via works of Turkish and international culture and art is one of the goals of teaching Turkish. Texts from different cultures are used in mother tongue education to compare students to works of art and culture that are universally recognized. People learn about national and universal ideals in this way by consuming works of international culture and art. Knowing the best pieces of international literature would not only broaden one's horizons but also enable one to comprehend and assess the sociology of many countries. By reviewing the content of postgraduate theses on international literature authored in our country, this study seeks to understand the literature and future research on the subject. In this study, fourteen master's and doctoral theses with the subject "world literature" were analyzed. Access to the database of the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education was granted for this investigation. The university from which the postgraduate theses were created, the department, the year of publishing, the type of publication, the institute, and the method were all examined. Utilizing the document review technique, data were gathered. The content analysis technique was used to interpret the data that was obtained. The investigation revealed that Osman Gazi University was the site of the majority of studies. The majority of the research was done at the graduate level and in a social sciences institute. It has been determined that the Comparative Literature Department produced graduate theses. The majority of studies in the area of international literature were completed between 2022 and 2019. Eleven studies did not specify their approach, however, it was determined that the other three studies used a qualitative research paradigm. [For the full proceedings, see ED656038.]

This study explored a place-based summer enrichment offering for gifted rural students through the lens of a critical pedagogy of place (Greenwood, 2003). To ameliorate well-documented opportunity gaps for rural students, we established a residential camp on our university's campus where middle school students engaged in STEM and humanities enrichment courses. Inductive analysis of students' culminating projects revealed two salient themes: (a) students thought critically about environmental and social issues specific to their rural communities, and (b) students expressed strong connections to place through artistic projects. This study suggests a need to honor rural students' funds of knowledge (Moll et al., 1992) and sense of place when designing and implementing enrichment activities geared toward increasing equity for rural gifted students.
