A key goal of education for any country is to make sure that every pupil has a chance to excel, both in school and life. Increasingly, a child’s success in school will determine his success as an adult; will determine whether he/she goes to college, what profession that he/she enters and how much they are paid. Kenya’s education system has laid emphasis on a cluster of science subjects that must be passed for one to be placed in a meaningful course at tertiary level, university and finally employment. The Visually impaired child has been disadvantaged and this study therefore tried to investigate why there are more street beggars who are Visually impaired as compared to other persons with disabilities in the Kenyan major towns. The study was conducted in the three towns within Kenya, namely: Kisumu, Nakuru and Nairobi. The study population was 145, and a purposive sampling was used to select the 60 respondents. The study found that the Visually impaired persons who were beggars on the street had basic education at primary level and some had form four certificate, however they had failed to gain any meaningful employment due to the growing need of technology in the work place and the increasing interest in the role of information and communication technologies for one to be employed. The study also found that as much as there is an increasing effort by the Government to have computer studies for all schools in Kenya. The Jaw’s programme is lacking in those computers and therefore the visually impaired learners have not had an access to computer education and hence the mass influx of beggars. The study recommends that of the schools where the Visually impaired learners are in inclusive education, there should be at least two computers with a Jaw programme to help the Visually impaired have an access in computer literacy and hence employment opportunity. The study also recommends that the street beggars with form four educations should be given vocational training with information technology so as to empower them with the current basic skills to compete favourable with other job seekers.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate computer literacy competencies among rural and urban students in India and its prime objectives are to find out: how rural and urban students use computers, what is the purpose of computers for these students and what problems have the students encountered while using computers. Design/methodology/approach – Scheduled interviews were conducted to collect necessary data from rural and urban students. The interview schedules consisted of various questions designed to elicit details about the students’ use of computers. A total of 600 interview schedules were collected and data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for windows to test the formulated hypothesis. Findings – The findings of the study indicate that the infrastructural facilities varied among rural and urban schools. Another notable finding of the study was that majority (91.33 percent) of urban students used computers compared to a significantly less percentage of rural students (32.33 percent). Most rural students have not used computers mainly because they do not know how to (49.75 percent) followed by lack of support from teachers (48.76 percent) and non-availability of computers in their schools (48.27 percent). Electrical power failure was another major problem faced by both urban students (31.75 percent) and rural students (40.20 percent). Originality/value – This study attempted to learn about the computer literacy competencies among the students and the digital divide in Indian schools. On the basis of the findings, the study has recommended guidelines to bridge the digital gap. These findings and recommendations will potentially be helpful to school authorities and the government in order to take the necessary measurements to bridge the digital gap between the rural and urban students.

In the world of education in Indonesia, computers have been introduced and used in schools ranging from basic education to tertiary institutions. Computers make it easy to find and provide learning materials can also be obtained, for example by the concept of electronic libraries (e-libraries) or electronic books (e-books).
MA Muhammadiyah I Malang is a school that is equivalent to a high school (SMA) that has used a computer as a tool for the process of teaching and learning activities, finance, administration and so forth. Computers are tools that help humans in making reports or in producing information that can be achieved as a basis for decision making and can contribute more to data storage and data retrieval processes. Currently in the financial section for the processing of teaching fees and employee honorariums still use Microsoft Excel. Separate financial data in several sheets that require separate data input for each sheet so that financial calculations and reporting are less efficient and fast.
The bookkeeping process is sometimes very difficult, complicated or even troublesome for some people. But today's computer technology has been able to change this process to be easier, simpler, faster and more efficientPayroll system is a computer application created to make it easier for employees in the financial department to make, calculate, report and analyze school financial turnover so that the application can provide optimal services to teachers and employees as a support for timely decision making.

This paper sought to determine economic factors that influence access to secondary educational opportunities in Narok County, Kenya and to suggest strategies to help raise the transition rates of learners from primary to secondary schools. The study employed descriptive survey research design involving both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Study participants comprised head teachers, teachers and students in both primary and secondary schools. Stratified sampling technique was used to select twenty-four (24) primary school head teachers, forty-eight (48) primary school teachers and eight (8) secondary school principals. A total of 68 class eight pupils and 44 form one students were selected using simple random sampling from the sampled schools. Data were collected using questionnaires and an interview schedule. Pilot testing was done with questionnaires to test reliability and validity. To obtain the reliability the test-retest method was employed. Pearson Product Moment was employed to compute the correlation coefficient. A correlation co-efficient of 0.77 was obtained. Qualitative data were analysed inductively through content analysis while SPSS was used to analyse quantitative data. Results were presented in form of tables, figures, frequencies and percentages. It was established that household poverty and opportunity costs of education have influences on completion rates and lead to dropouts from basic schooling. The study recommends the need for the government and private sector employing a long term strategy in expanding secondary education in Kenya. This could include poverty mitigation and reduction in cost of secondary schooling and improvement of basic infrastructure, improvement of the quality of education in the country in order to reduce the opportunity costs and also through provision of more subsidies to improve the level of enrollment in basic education.

This article examines the current trends in the development and use of computer technology in special education, as well as provides the basic characteristics of the classification of TME. Technical meansoccupy a special positionin the system of education, as their use increases the effectiveness of education. The article states that teaching geography is impossible without the use of visual aids, as most of the objects and natural phenomena presented in the school course can not be observed in nature, and, in this sense, the study of geography requires students to have an advanced imagination and distraction techniques . The use of computer technologies in teaching geography to children with hearing impairment is difficult due to the lack of specially designed electronic aids, particularly taking into account the age and mental development of children in this category and guidelines for working with modern technical means of education. Using TME in a special (remedial) school is of great importance for the overall development of students with reduced motivation to learn. It should be noted that, over time, a number of technical means of educationin special remedial schools is becoming less relevantand is being replaced by modern technical devices, computer technology, for which the methods of operation are not well developedat the moment. The use of technical means opens up new opportunities for extra-curricular and leisure activities of environmental study nature with hearing-impaired students. The intensive nature of introducing computer technology in the educational process of remedial schools and the lack of special modern technical means of teaching geography to children with hearing impairmentare indicative of the need to establish the scientific concept of developing methodological support of technical means of education. The authors highlight the significant role of TME in the formation of knowledge on geographic objects and phenomena in students with hearing impairment.

Full textAbstract:
To address the shortfall of the outcome system of education (8-4-4) that is currently underway and to improve quality of education by making it more relevant to the need of the society, the Kenyan government embarked on yet another educational reform. This was the implementation of the competence-based curriculum which was rolled out in January, 2019 in pre- primary and lower primary levels of basic education. The purpose of this study was to assess the capacity to implement competence-based-curriculum by Isiolo County Primary Schools. Descriptive research design was employed. The study sample comprised of 48 head teachers, 48 pre-school teachers, 13 parents with children in lower primary who were picked using snowballing, and 2 Ministry of education and County education officials who were picked using convenient sampling. Questionnaire and interview were the main tool used for data collection. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis for qualitative data. The findings of the study revealed that the teaching and learning materials are not adequate, the learning environment is not appropriate, inadequate teachers for competence-based curriculum delivery. Whilst most of the schools are connected to electricity, the schools had no computer labs, computers or libraries, which are key resource in the delivery of the competence-based curriculum. The study further revealed that the pre-school teachers are still ill-equipped to implement the new curriculum despite being trained and lacked computer skills. Majority of parents are also not sensitized on the content and their role in competence-based curriculum implementation hence not able to contribute positively. The study recommends provision of adequate learning and teaching materials, improvement of learning infrastructure, recruitment of additional teachers, enhancement of capacity of pre-school teachers through further training on CBC as well as computer skills, sensitization of parents as well as provision of additional finances to schools to ensure successful implementation of competence-based-curriculum.

Programming control in industrial design is by its nature expert upon an example being Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Such programmes are unsuitable for children or novices as they cannot understand how to use the programme. This research seeks to present tangible programming for a basic control system in new frameworks in engineering education for children. Such programmes could be for use in kindergartens, primary schools or general teaching where knowledge about basic control is required. Normally open-loop and closed-loop control system programming is taught at university and college level. This may be late as far as acquiring knowledge of basic control systems is concerned. Using tangible programming without a computer but instructions and interface, relay and motor could result in children in kindergartens and primary schools being able to programme open-looped control systems which mix chemicals or closed-loop control systems which control conveyor belts. However, the children would not be able to undertake programming using programmable control in a similar scenario.

Informatics or computer science is an important subject for school education today. Informatics can be presented as a scientific discipline to understand technology in a way that is more deeply behind computer programs. With the introduction of informatics to schools is to prepare young people to become creators of information technology not just users of information technology. To achieve this, informatics concepts need to be introduced from basic education, high school, and high school. On the other hand, we need to help people solve problems by using technology and developing computational thinking in various fields. This paper presents the role of Indonesia specifically through universities in Indonesia in introducing computational thinking through Bebras Computational Thinking.

Technical education and Computer science education is easier to understand and more meaningful to learn using new teaching materials. This paper describes the use of miniature Micro: bit computers, developed by the British company BBC, in cooperation with several technology companies, with a purpose to increase the number of technologically educated people. Paper presents possible use of Micro: bit in teaching technical and informatics education and its impact on the development of digital competence. Micro: bit is already used in schools in the UK and part of teachers in Serbia had the opportunity to get acquainted with characteristics of this device. It is shown how students can try out the programming in the Microsoft Block Editor. Another benefit of this mini-computer is getting to know the basics of robotics. The curriculum in primary education enables the use of such tools in teaching process. Use of this tool and others, similar to it, in work with students, creates the atmosphere in school that is oriented towards new technologies. The simplicity of this mini-computer allows the student to become familiar with different professional challenges that can help them with choosing a future profession.

Full textAbstract:
Simulation-based communication education has improved nursing students’ communication knowledge and skills. However, communication patterns that students commonly exhibit in simulated situations and students’ responses to specific clinical situations have not been systematically examined. The specific aims of the present study were (1) to identify non-therapeutic communication patterns that nursing students exhibit in simulated situations in the computer simulation-based education (ComEd) program, and (2) explore students’ responses to challenging clinical situations. This study used a mixed-method research design and a convenience sampling method to recruit participants. Frequency analysis and a conventional content analysis method were used to analyze answers provided by participants. A total of 66 students from four Korean nursing schools participated in the study. “False reassurance” was found to be the most common non-therapeutic communication pattern used by nursing students. Nursing students had difficulty in clinical situations such as reporting a patient’s condition to a doctor, communicating with a patient and perform basic nursing skills at the same time, and managing conflicts between patients. Technology-based communication simulation programs, which reflect various clinical situations, are considered a new alternative that can supplement the limitations of clinical practicum and improve the quality of nursing education.

The study presents the results of a project in which tablets and a ready-made application were used for teaching basic programming concepts to young primary school students (ages 7-9). A total of 135 students participated in the study, attending primary schools in Athens, Greece, divided into three groups. The first was taught conventionally. The second was taught using a board game, while the third was taught using tablets and an application. Students' performance was assessed using evaluation sheets. Data analyses revealed that students in the tablets/application group outperformed students in the other two groups in three out of four tests. No age differences were noted. Students' views regarding the application were highly positive. The learning outcomes can be attributed to the combination of the application's game-like features and to the tablets' ease of use. On the basis of the results, educators, as well as policy makers, can consider the use of tablets and mobile applications for teaching basic programming concepts to young primary school students.

This study aimed to estimate students’ internal efficiency in Public Day Schools implementing Nine Year Basic Education (9YBE)[1] policy in Ngoma Sector, Huye District of Rwanda. Since the Government of Rwanda embarked on the implementation of 9YBE policy, the remarkable increase has been achieved in students’ enrolments at both primary and secondary education levels. But, little is known about the extent to which the policy has improved the indicators of internal efficiency such as duration of studies, years-input per graduate, survival and wastage rate. Through a descriptive design, data on students’ enrolments and graduation at lower secondary education for the cohort 2013/14 and 2017/18 were gathered from all 2 public day schools in Ngoma Sector by use of a statistical survey questionnaire. A reconstructed cohort analysis of 1000 students for both cohorts was computed and compared. The findings provided evidence that during the school years 2013/2017 there had been an increase in indicators students’ internal efficiency. Nevertheless, dropouts and stagnation have continued to be hindrances to high school internal efficiency at this level of education. The findings suggest further investigation of the causes of students' stagnation and dropout and workable interventions that consider the context of 9YBE policy. [1] 9YBE is an acronym given to Nine-Year Basic Education. According to the Ministry of Education, it is defined as " all children to be able to get an education in nine years, this is made up of six years of primary education and three years of the general cycle of secondary education without paying school fees."

Full textAbstract:
In the scorching and sultry heat of a Mumbai summer Prem Yadav, the Director of Pratham Info Tech Foundation (referred to as the Foundation), Mumbai, India and his team were busy teaching basic computer skills to students attending a school for children raised in poor households. These children were stumbling at every stage. Classrooms were very small and congested. Electricity supply was erratic. Software products were available only in English and were not compatible with the hardware. Schools and teachers were unenthusiastic if not wary of the additional burden put on them. This was the situation in spite of the fact that for four years since 1998, Prem and his team had tried everything to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in 54 Municipal Corporation schools, (schools run by the civic body that governs the city) started mainly for unprivileged children. The team enjoyed moderate success, but the overall impact was small. Uses of ICT in education were perceived to be an add-on support, rather than an effective toolbox to bring consistency and equality in providing quality education and empowerment to underprivileged children. Information technology had led to decisive and sweeping changes in other fields like healthcare, e-governance, logistics, and manufacturing. Yet so far ICT had very limited success in the field of education especially at pre-primary and secondary school levels (i.e., from standard 1st to 8th). On the one hand, India was emerging as a knowledge based economy by exporting IT and IT based services to the world, and, on the other hand, most of the population belonging to the low income group did not have any access to learn basic knowledge and skills related to IT. Prem was convinced that this digital gap needed to be closed as early as possible; otherwise India would risk leaving a large section of the population far behind. He knew that it was not the technology per se, but the implementation of the technology at the grass roots level that was more important.

With the advancement of society and the increase of computer, network and digital media technology, big data technology has become an indispensable part of modern service industry. Big data technology has been developed in all aspects of the education industry, and the value of products and services created has gradually increased. Big data plays an important role in technology in computer education and other aspects. This article mainly introduces the teaching method research of computer education under the background of big data. This article uses the research of the teaching method of computer education under the background of big data, starting from the two aspects of computer education and basic courses, rationally analyzing the feasibility of the teaching method of computer education. From the labor market in our country, the demand for computer talents is concentrated on application-oriented talents, but the purpose of computer education in many schools mostly stays in traditional research-based teaching, resulting in a decline in the quality of education, and it is difficult to meet the market’s demand for computer application-oriented talents. It is the main body that determines the course content and teaching mode. The experimental results of this paper show that the research on the teaching methods of computer education under the background of big data has increased the efficiency of computer education by 18%. The limitations of the research on the teaching methods of computer education under the background of big data are analyzed, and the methods and ways of computer ability training are analyzed. Discuss and summarize, so as to enrich the academic research results.

GDE has introduced an information and communication technology (ICT) project through which schools are provided with LTSM in electronic format (e-LTSM). The first phase entailed the provision of smart-boards, laptops and tablets to grade 12 teachers and learners. This article addresses the research question on the envisaged advantages and disadvantages of electronic textbooks. A mixed method approach was utilised where 356 schools were selected to be given questionnaires and 35 schools would be interviewed. The theoretical framework applied was the technology acceptance model (TAM), with the focus on the perceived usefulness variable. The data analysis shows that the majority of schools regard the use of electronic textbooks as useful.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to identify the teaching competencies and job satisfaction among basic education teachers.To achieve the objectives of the study, two study tools, teaching competencies questionnaire and job satisfaction scale, were applied. The study followed a descriptive methodology; its sample consisted of (65) male and female teachers from public schools at Al-jam'a directorate of education in Amman, for the spring semester of the academic year 2014/2015; the participants were chosen randomly. For the purpose of statistical analysis, means and standard deviations were computed. However, the validity and reliability tests were conducted for the study tools. Thus, Cronbach alpha coefficient were applied to measure the reliability of first tool and second tool of the study, which were (0.869 and 0.857) respectively.
The results of the study revealed that the level of the teaching competencies possessed by physical education teachers on the total score was high, and the level of job satisfaction possessioned by physical education teachers on the total score was moderate. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) in the three domains of teaching competencies (planning competencies, implementation competencies, and evaluation competencies).
In the light of the results of the study, the study concluded a number of recommendations including: inclusion the teaching competencies to be met by physical education teachers in preparation and teacher training programs; and pay attention to the moral, economic, and social aspects of physical education teachers.

Full textAbstract:
By its nature, the learning of certain complex contents has always been a focus of attention and a challenge in the study of mathematics. This fact acquires greater importance if it is about the learning of children, because the psycho-cognitive skills of this type of user, especially when they attend the first levels of Basic General Education are not yet mature. As a result, children are unable to assimilate correctly and easily certain content of an abstract nature during the early stages of mathematics learning. This study presents the results of the application of a computer system called “Kinect based Augmented Reality Math Learning System - KARMLS”, whose design and development uses the Augmented Reality technology and the motion sensor implemented in MS-Kinect camera. The developed application covers elementary math topics corresponding to the Basic General Education curriculum of the Republic of Ecuador. The study used an experimental quantitative approach, involving 29 third-grade children (13 girls and 16 boys), who attend to 2 Basic General Education schools in Riobamba city, Ecuador. The results that allowed to evaluate the prototype proposed in the study were obtained by means of a pretest and a posttest, which were contrasted with the students’ t-test for paired samples. Through the analysis of data obtained and the discussion, it is concluded that the applied computer system had a positive effect for the learning when used as a supplementary tool in the classroom and that it was more effective in children who previously had low performance than with those of high performance. Also, the children were motivated and with positive attitudes regarding the use of the analyzed software.

The article reviews the use of computer technologies at different stages of the lesson and its combination with other techniques and methods of educational activity, as well as observations of practical activity of teachers in special (remedial) schools. The article also evaluates the potential of geography as an academic subject in a special (remedial) school. A lesson of geography in a special school meaningfully integrates the knowledge of nature, society and humans, through which systematization and expansion of understanding objects and phenomena of the surrounding environment is exercised in the students. Geography as a subject of natural science curriculum offers significant opportunities for the development of elementary knowledge on objects and phenomena of animate and inanimate nature, the relationship and interdependence of humans and nature in students with hearing impairment; enriching personal experience of children as a result of systematic observations; the development of required practical skills in the students.The researchers note the significant role of geography lessons in remediating mental and psychological deficiencies in students from special (remedial) institutions. Geography as a subject in a special (remedial) school has an exceptional importance for the overall development of the students.The use of computer technologies in teaching geography to children with hearing impairment is difficult due to the lack of specially designed electronic aids, particularly taking into account the age and mental development of children in this category and guidelines for working with modern TME.The researchers emphasize the significance of visualization in the process of teaching geography to students with hearing impairment as well as note the need for a reasonable combination of verbal, visual and practical methods.This article presents the results of ascertaining experiment and the results of a survey among teachers. Observations of the educational process and surveying the teachers of special (remedial) schools at the stage of the ascertaining experiment revealed the basic forms, tools, techniques and methods of teaching geography to students with hearing impairment.

The role of both higher and secondary education at the present stage of development of the Republic of Azerbaijan is mainly measured by the tasks set for it, its transition to a democratic and rule-of-law state, to a market economy, the need to overcome the danger of the country lagging behind the world trends of economic and social development. The main goal of the modernization of education is to create a mechanism for the sustainable development of the education system. To achieve this goal, such important tasks as ensuring State guarantees of accessibility and equal opportunities for obtaining a full-fledged education and achieving a new modern quality of preschool, general and vocational education should be solved as a priority, among others. Within the framework of solving these tasks, the concept of modernization of Russian education at the senior level of general education provides for specialized training and the development of distance education. The model of a general education institution with specialized training at the senior level provides for the possibility of various combinations of academic subjects, which will provide a flexible system of specialized training. This system includes the following types of academic subjects: basic general education, specialized and elective. Elective courses are implemented at the expense of the school component of the curriculum and provide “support” for the study of the main profile subjects, as well as serve for intra-profile specialization of training and the construction of individual educational trajectories. Schools are faced with the task of developing elective courses. On the one hand, solving this problem requires highly qualified specialists, which is extremely difficult to provide, especially in rural areas. On the other hand, today schools, including rural ones, get access to high-speed Internet, therefore, we can say that there is a sufficient technical base for the development of distance learning, which will also solve the problems of specialized training.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore upper secondary school students’ voices on how information and communication technology (ICT) could structure and support their everyday activities and time at school. Design/methodology/approach In all, 11 group interviews were conducted with a total of 46 students from three upper secondary schools. NVivo PRO 11 was used for a qualitative content analysis. Findings The results show that ICT plays a central role in the students’ schooling, not in terms of “state-of-the-art” technology, but rather as “state-of-the-actual”, by for example supporting the writing process and for peer support, digital documentation and storage. Research limitations/implications A relatively small number of students in three schools and three specific programmes make generalisations difficult. Practical implications Students’ perspectives on the “state-of-the-actual” could influence teachers’ use of ICT in education, their professional development activities and the development of an in-school ICT infrastructure. Social implications The study could lead to a better understanding of students’ expectations and use of ICT at school and in everyday life. Originality/value The originality of this paper is the focus on students’ voices about how the basic use and functionality of ICT could structure and support their everyday activities at school.

Purpose of research. Today, the informatization of school education has reached a qualitatively new level, schools now have access to fast Internet, modern computer equipment, etc. However, the quality of independent written work of students may significally fall, due to open and free access to fabricated texts (essays, reports, essays), as well as the lack of basic skills of independent work and curiosity among the younger generation. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to pose the problem of formation and evaluation of skills for independent preparation of written work in General education, to consider the current state of affairs in this area of primary education, to develop proposals and solutions to this problem.Materials and methods. To solve this problem, the authors of the article have analyzed the works of Russian and foreign authors in the field of pedagogy, as well as works on the digital generation and the information society formation in the Russian Federation and legislative acts (Federal law «on education in the Russian Federation» dated 29.12.2012 N 273-FZ, national project «Education», order of the Ministry of education and science of the Russian Federation dated December 17, 2010 No. 1897 «on approval of the Federal state educational standard of basic General education», The procedure for admitting citizens to study in educational programs of primary General, basic General and secondary General education, approved by order of the Ministry of education and science of the Russian Federation of January 22, 2014, No. 32, etc.).Results. The study has revealed the current situation in teaching and explaining the basic skills of independent and creative work of students: the lack of methodological foundations and practice of teaching the basics of academic ethics and academic writing, the lack of automated means of monitoring the independent performance of written works.Conclusion. In the article, the authors provide basic recommendations and suggestions for improving the current situation, such as the introduction of elements of informing the school system about the requirements for independence in the performance of educational work as part of academic ethics, elements of independence control (systems for detecting borrowings in written works), the development of programs for teachers to master the means of controlling the independence of students’ written work.

Introduction. In recent years, the structure and content of training of specialists of further education have significantly improved. The increased popularity of the secondary vocational education system is evidenced by the fact that more than half of the Russian teenagers after graduating from the main stage of secondary school become applicants of technical schools and colleges. In order to manage students’ education more effectively, among other measures, it is necessary to diagnose the motivation of enrolled students at the stage of admission to the educational institution and to identify the degree of awareness of their future career choice, as these factors directly depend on the success of educational programmes.The aim of the article was to reveal the trends of influence of students’ results at the Basic State Exam (OGE – the exam, which is taken when finishing education in the 9th (final) form of comprehensive school) on the level of knowledge of Computer Science in colleges and to find out the subjective reasons of students’ preferences for the secondary vocational education system to continue studies and to enter a profession.Methodology and research methods. In the course of the study, a review and generalisation of the content of scientific sources related to the problems of professional choice and training motivation were used. Diagnostics of motivation of college students in Moscow, Moscow region and the regions of Russia was conducted through the methods of testing, surveys and anonymous questioning. Processing of the obtained data was carried out by the methods of correlation, variance and regression analysis; the degree of statistical reliability of the results was evaluated by calculating the Student’s t-test and the Fisher’s F-test.Results and scientific novelty. The authors have calculated the numerical indicators of relationship between students’ academic performance in computer science and the Basic State Exam taking, the reasons for choosing the secondary vocational education and the specialty. Constructed graphs and approximating curves prove the fact that the success degree when learning the certain discipline in college results from the assessment within the discipline taken at the Basic State Exam in school. In the regions of Russia, this factor guarantees a higher level of knowledge on Computer Science – by about 20%, and in the Moscow region – by 10%. The statistics on respondents’ professional orientation were collected. A regression model, demonstrating the impact of students’ motivational attitudes on their training in the subject discipline, is presented. It was found out that the motives “subsequent admission to a specialised university”, “obtaining a profession”, “business attitude to a profession” and “prestige of a profession” have the most positive influence in this context. The variance analysis confirmed the determinism of the learning outcomes by the reasons for the choice of secondary vocational education and profession. It is concluded that the reasons for the low or medium students’ performance include not only their weak motivation for education, but also the state of the entire education system, including the institutions of the Basic State Exam (OGE) and the Unified State Exam (EGE – high school final and university entrance exam taken upon completion of the 11th form), as well as the lack of clear criteria for the admission of applicants to the institutions of secondary vocational education. To get a specific specialty, the desire to study, its informed choice and prestige of profession positively affect students’ learning outcomes in Computer Science education.Practical significance. The research materials can be useful for teachers of secondary vocational education and for specialists involved in career guidance.

Full textAbstract:
School learners are attractive candidates for cyber-safety attacks. Advances in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) devices, and the surge in Internet usage, poses significant risks to users with poor cyber-safety awareness and security practices. An example of such users are school learners. Therefore, school learners should be made aware of cyber-safety or safe Internet usage, through awareness programmes as early as possible. Applying the classical Theory of Planned Behaviour in a survey of 109 schoolteachers across 18 schools in 2 districts, the results of a multiple regression analysis unveil that: 1) attitude does not predict the schoolteachers’ intention to raise cyber-safety awareness at their schools in the next 12 months, nor does it predict the schoolteachers’ behaviour of raising cyber-safety awareness in their teaching; and 2) subjective norms and perceived behavioural control predict the schoolteachers’ intention and behaviour. In light of this, the South African Department of Basic Education (DBE) is encouraged to identify influential schoolteachers (i.e. phase heads, sports and cultural coordinators, principals and their deputies, etc.), and to groom them into cyber-safety awareness advocates, for the purposes of influencing other teachers or their peers. Also, the DBE should provide teachers with the requisite resources, opportunities, and support which facilitates cyber-safety awareness in schools, to empower teachers to adopt this highly desired behaviour.

The concepts, students gained at school level assist in considering advance form of these conceptions at higher education level. Pakistan being a developing country suffering from low quality at school levels. There are many factors responsible for this condition. Teachers’ proficiency, basic facilities and curriculum are the basic elements of quality education. In Pakistan all these elements are criticized on different forums. Though Pakistan Government is struggling to get rid of these problems to ensure quality in educational system. To meet this objective, and to exploit internal and external resources?different initiatives are taken by government of Pakistan. Currently, Quality education is dire demand of the day. Advancement is contingent to educational quality. Only means of the existence in globalization is quality education. Yet quality cannot be shown to someone as concrete object. It can only be achieved by providing proper facilities, well trained teachers and comprehensive learning materials. In the dearth of one of these facilities, quality education is not possible. That is why, Pakistan Government is ensuring for the provision of quality standards. For this purpose government is consuming not only all internal (local) and external (international) means and human resources also. But some problems slow down this development process and these are hurdles in this way. To remove these barriers Government of Pakistan has fixed some priorities i.e. enhancement of budget to facilitate the schools, revision of curriculum, teachers professional development and allocation of more funds for the development of needy students. In spite of these efforts many more are to be required yet. Some considerable steps are:- (i) Professional elaboration of organizers, principals and other staff members(ii) Formation of Evaluation Committee through associating incentives and grants(iii) District wise planning and application of plans(iv) increase in salaries on teachers(v) provision of science and computer labs.

As a unique form of assessment, authentic assessment tends to focus on contextualised tasks that enable learners to exhibit their proficiency in a more realistic setting. The study was aimed at exploring teachers perceptions and practices of authentic (performance-based) assessment at the basic school level in Ghana. A descriptive survey design was adopted with an accessible population estimated at 1,000. However, 286 respondents were sampled for data collection using the purposive and accidental sampling technique. A 10-item questionnaire with r = .90 was used to collect data which were analysed using mean and standard deviation. The findings of the study revealed that most teachers at the basic school level have positive perceptions about authentic assessment. Also, it was revealed that most teachers practise authentic (performance-based) assessments at the basic school level. The researchers recommended that the education agencies and heads of schools should periodically organise in-service training, workshops, and seminars to equip teachers with contemporary issues on an authentic assessment like computer-assisted programs. Again the government should liaise with other stakeholders to make available adequate funds and instructional time for teachers to facilitate the smooth practice of authentic assessment in schools.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of home computer ownership and use on achievement. Ninety-six second graders and seventy-nine fifth graders were taught BASIC programming with homework for three marking periods, and Logo programming without homework for one marking period. Pretests were given in both BASIC and Logo. Posttests were administered at the end of BASIC and Logo instruction. Questionnaires were issued to assess computer use in homework completion. Students were grouped by ability, sex, and computer ownership. Posttest scores for BASIC and Logo and BASIC homework score averages were analyzed using ANOVA and ANCOVA (with pretest scores as the covariate). Fifth grade computer owners had significantly ( p = .02) higher mean homework scores than nonowners. Among high ability fifth graders, owners outperformed the nonowners on both BASIC and Logo posttest scores. Computer use in homework assignments was not as important to achievement as ownership.

Moral education is one of the forms of moral inheritance in society. In the perception of modern society moral is a synonym of ethics. Thus, the term «moral education» means the process of the purposeful forming of child moral values and reinforcement the habit complex which is proper to the norms and moral accepted in a society. Nowadays, when the standards of legal cruelty are widely presented in mass media, entertaining programs and computer games which children are involved in since their preschool age, moral education of young people claims special attention. In the present paper the problem of schoolchildren moral development and socialization is considered. Taking into account current pedagogical conditions various approaches to the issue particularly the ways of the modern youth psychological impact efficiency improvement have been analyzed. The results of the conducted research show the need for higher school children socialization level since it’s the basis of the personality development. The importance of innovative pedagogical achievements use in the course of young people moral education is stressed. Moral education is one of the forms of inheritance of morality in society. A moral is in understanding of modern society, is the synonym of ethics. Thus, under moral education it is possible to understand the process of the purposeful forming for the child of the moral settings, and also fixing of habits of conduct, proper to the norms and moral, accepted in society. Presently, when the standards of legal cruelty with people are widely presented in mass medias, entertaining transmissions and films, and also in computer games which children master from preschool age, moral education of children must spare the special attention.

This article raises questions about three features of musical education that have been explored in the pages of the British Journal of Music Education (BJME) over the last 25 years: the assessment of creative work; the nurturing of an elite among young musicians; the uses of electronics in music classrooms. The article suggests that teacher-based assessments of pupils' compositional work rarely promote deeper understanding because pupils learn better by considering the extent to which they have fulfilled their own musical intentions. The dilemma of serving the needs of all pupils while attending to the musical needs of the most gifted musically is explored, and it is suggested that, inter alia, pupils aged 12 should have a strong voice in their choices within arts education. Electronic keyboards have become sufficiently embedded in schools for broad judgements to be made. There are few signs that basic electronic keyboards offer expressive opportunities of value whereas the use of computers in support of composition have led to results of quality that merit close attention.

There is a lack of concluding evidence among epidemiologists and public health specialists about how school closures reduce the spread of COVID-19. Herein, we attend to the generalization of this action throughout the world, specifically in its quest to reduce mortality and avoid infections. Considering the impact on the right to education from a global perspective, this article discusses how COVID-19 has exacerbated inequalities and pre-existing problems in education systems around the world. Therefore, the institutional responses to guaranteeing remote continuity of the teaching–learning process during this educational crisis was compared regionally through international databases. Three categories of analysis were established: infrastructure and equipment, both basic and computer-based, as well as internet access of schools; preparation and means of teachers to develop distance learning; and implemented measures and resources to continue educational processes. The results showed an uneven capacity in terms of response and preparation to face the learning losses derived from school closure, both in low-income regions and within middle- and high-income countries. We concluded that it is essential to articulate inclusive educational policies that support strengthening the government response capacity, especially in low-income countries, to address the sustainability of education.

Full textAbstract:
Energy access is critical for health, education and social welfare improvements. In countries like Ethiopia, with a low electrification rate and with the majority of the population located in rural areas, about 76% of primary schools do not have access to electricity. This limits the hours of classes and does not allow the use of basic or modern teaching resources. Off-grid solutions have emerged as potential cost-effective alternatives to electrify rural areas and schools, but the availability of off-grid appliances and the size of the system can lead to different solutions. Therefore, this study proposes a DC microgrid system to supply the electricity demand of a rural school located in Ethiopia, considering load estimation scenarios with standard and high-efficiency appliances. The simulation results show that the designed DC microgrid is a valid option to electrify the rural school under each load and generation scenarios. The system costs were also evaluated, and the high-efficiency appliances option has a 51% lower cost. The study also applies to other sub-Saharan countries in the region with very low energy access rates and abundant solar energy, thus giving a large contribution to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Education Goal 4 (SDG 4).

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of safety and security risks is a huge threat to the implementation of sustainability; therefore, safety and security education allows one to detect the symptoms of emerging crises, helps in the appropriate response to that and helps in a quick return to the path of sustainability after crisis conditions would disappear. The development of the concept of safety and security education in the context of sustainability is very important from both a scientific and practical point of view due to the fact that schools play a key role in society constituting the basic source of education for future generations of citizens, shaping awareness, competence and skills of future generations and thus creating a society that is able to analyse the opportunities and threats arising from the changing economic, social, environmental, technological, political and legal environment. The aim of the paper is to indicate the key factors for improving the security and safety education in the context of sustainability and to prepare the recommendations for preparing the security and safety courses. To complete that objective studies, Computer-Assisted Web Interview either with students or with security and safety experts were used in the study. The survey was conducted among two representative samples of high school students in Poland—one sample 418 high school students from regular high schools, and 100 from solitaire classes. The results from the CAWI were discussed with 20 security and safety experts to indicate the learning methods and tools to improve safety and security education. The main finding from the study was that safety and security education must be improved because respondents saw gaps in their knowledge on several issues in the area of safety and security. Modern training methods should be included in safety education, e.g., e-learning platforms, Serious games, social media, virtual worlds, simulators, integrated systems using e.g., kinect, VR goggles, accessories, mobile technologies.

Full textAbstract:
Collaboration between teachers constitutes an important predictor for the successful implementation of digital media in schools and teaching. The present contribution examines the supporting conditions of ICT (information and communications technology)-related teacher collaboration as a feature of school quality in six selected European educational systems on the basis of the instruments and data administered by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement’s study of ICILS 2013 (International Computer and Information Literacy Study 2013). Along the ICILS 2013 theoretical framework, predictors on the level of the school and classroom, antecedents regarding teachers’ attitudes and competencies, variables concerning processes at school and in class, as well as teachers’ background variables, are analysed. The regression analysis shows no consistent differences regarding the coefficients of different predictors with respect to ICT-related collaboration in the countries where teachers have expressed a high, medium or low rate of agreement with ICT-related collaboration.

The purpose of the article is to carry out theoretical analysis and synthesis of prospects for the development of distance learning in Ukraine, to consider the main current problems of distance education in Ukraine, to analyze the main factors hindering the introduction of distance learning, to draw attention to the need for computer literacy distance learning methodologies, in particular a unified, systematic, nationwide approach to organization, coordination and control in this area. The research methodology consists in analytical method, method of structural-functional analysis, phenomenological method, method of content analysis, method of general philosophical reflection, basic sociological methods (questionnaires, interviews). The scientific novelty of the research lies in clarifying the current state of integration of distance learning in Ukrainian schools and clarifying the features of the process of introducing distance learning in general. The article also analyzed the works of foreign fundamentalist scientists in the field of distance learning and partially substantiated the feasibility of their implementation in the domestic system of distance learning. Based on the study, innovative hypotheses have been put forward regarding the factors (individual, collective and social) that inhibit the introduction of distance learning and often lead to its inefficiency and formalization, which in the future can be a reference point for future scientific research.
