Abstract:

Based on theoretical and experimental research on the problems of education reform in the context of humanitarization of education, the authors elaborate and present a model of educational technology used to reform the activities in humanitarization of educational process, to create a flexible effective system at secondary school with the focus on teaching natural science disciplines. The theoretical study shows that humanization and humanitarization of education as a holistic system does not have a mechanism to implement social and pedagogical technologies and does not have a driver to realize this educational concept. This fact led to the development of educational technology aimed to form the basics of social worldview. The authors offer possible solutions for the problem by uncovering the pedagogic potential of natural sciences’ disciplines in forming the basic social determinants, namely, social competence and social intelligence of the students of secondary school. The main methods used are: the method of philosophical and subject expansion of natural sciences’ disciplines as a resource to form and develop social intelligence in the context of humanitarization of natural sciences, and statistical analysis to process the quantitative results of the pedagogical experiment. The development of a model of the author's technology is based on ecological approach to the research and design of educational environments. The methods of organizing educational technology that form the foundations of social worldview and paradigm of social thinking in modern conditions of scientific and technical progress are presented. The experimental data show that the organization of educational process of the secondary school students (7–11 forms) according to the model of social and pedagogical technology provides the increase of the level of quality of educational activity that satisfies the educational demand and meets the requirements of Federal Educational Standards of Russian Federation are present in the work. The authors considered the achievements of natural sciences from the point of view of the search for a public ideal. They made recommendations on the application of new scientific approaches, on the introduction of new interpretations, concepts of physical and natural-scientific outlooks. The developed educational technology contributes to the change of thinking paradigm, addressing the problem of authentic understanding of the world. This socio-pedagogical technology contributes to the creation of interdisciplinary interaction and interpenetration of the scientific and humanitarian understanding of the world within the framework of the modern concept of natural sciences.

Abstract:

Technological progress, globalization and demographic changes have brought about transformations that have increased economic and social inequalities. A structural transformation in education could support economic growth and sustainability and could also be associated with common actions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, together with social sciences, to mitigate the impact of these megatrends on inequalities. This research explores the effects of a technologically conceptualized transdisciplinary educational approach. A sample of 242 lower secondary school students was selected and a pre- and post-test research design was used to ascertain whether a two-level transdisciplinary educational approach used by technology teachers affected the development of students’ technological literacy (TL). The task design included several real-life technological contexts and concepts wherein knowledge of other disciplines was needed to solve problems, create new knowledge and acquire higher-order skills while developing positive attitudes towards sustainable technology. A two-way analysis of variance indicated several significant effects of transdisciplinary education on the development of students’ TL. These findings provide valuable insights into the nature of TL acquisition as a basis for curriculum design and the implementation of transdisciplinary technology education in the lower secondary school. Keywords: technology education, transdisciplinary educational approach, real-life problems, technological literacy.

Abstract:

Connecting science, technology and the society is one of the important principles of contemporary education. The foundation of this principle is the idea that scientific and technological achievements should be useful and applicable in everyday life of an individual. The paper presents the main determinants of the STS project (Science, Technology and Society Project) which deals with studying the influence of scientific research and technological development on social, political and cultural values. The basic goal of education within the STS Project is to enable the students to understand and learn to incorporate the achievements of scientific and technological development in their own cultural, ecological, economic, political and social contexts. In addition to this, the paper presents the role of sciences in connecting science, technology and the society and describes the possibilities of incorporating a similar project in chemistry instruction in our school. Pilot study which was conducted refers to the proposal for applying the principles on which the STS project is based in chemistry instruction in our country. This pilot study can present the basis for future research and the guideline that can be used for promoting the process of education in primary and secondary school.

Abstract:

The general education program designing and licensing trends in Latvia in the period from 2010 to 2014 are analyzed in the article. Based on the general education program licensing data, it found that there isn’t a trend to license author’s program in primary education, while the secondary level of education author's programs are designed and licensed more often. The fact that primary education is more licensed programs in mathematics, science and technology, but in general secondary education – the humanitarian and social direction of the program suggest a possible gap in primary and secondary education. At the same time it found that a quarter of all licensed educational programs is not implemented, which could be result of socio-economic and political change in society.

Abstract:

The most important instrument of social advancement and economic development is the education system. The educational qualification of the population of Hajdú-Bihar county is continuously improving, however the census data of the year 2001 show that the educational qualification of the population of the county did not reach the national average. The educational qualification of the county’s population is higher at the county seat and in other cities and lower in small municipalities. The county’s ratio is strongly influenced by the data of the county seat Debrecen and that of Hajdúszoboszló sub region. The unfavorable educational level of the region is related to the migration tendencies and the brain-draining trends of the past decades, as a consequence of which the population of the less developed eastern regions has moved either to the capital, or to the county seats, or larger cities of the region. The young are increasingly affected by the process. The number of kindergartens in the county corresponds to the national average, therefore taking into consideration the regional demographic characteristics the aim should be the equalization of regional disproportions. The number of students per 1000 resident within the Northern Great Plain Region and in the county significantly exceeds the national average. The secondary school network of the county consists of 38 secondary grammar- and 51 secondary vocational schools. The secondary schools of Debrecen have considerable impact on the county’s secondary education. The vocational training network of Hajdú-Bihar county is a large, in its conditions highly differentiated institutional network in which all types of secondary vocational institutions are present with secondary technical-, vocational-, accredited higher vocational-, specialized or preparatory vocational-, and special skill enhancement programmes. The majority of the secondary institutions have regional, rarely national enrollment. Students who have the intention to continue their studies in higher education within the county can study in Debrecen or Hajdúböszörmény. The integrated University of Debrecen has the highest student number within the country and it offers the widest range of academic programmes in Hungarian higher education. The University of Debrecen with the wide range of graduate and postgraduate educational programmes, unified academic qualification system, English language programmes is a European standard scientific centre of the Trans-Tisza Region. The county’s higher education takes exceeding share beyond its weight in the education of Natural Sciences (Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics), Health- and Social Sciences, Agricultural- and Environmental Sciences and Information Technology, which positively influences its educational structure. The county’s share in the education of Humanities (Hungarian Language, Foreign Languages, History, Archeology, Philosophy) is also significant. 6.3% of the country’s scientific researchers work in the county. In 2010 7.0% of the country’s R+D expenditure was spent here. 3/4 of the region’s research capacity is in Hajdú-Bihar county employed either by the University of Debrecen or by the research teams of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Abstract:

The implementation of educational reforms in Ukraine requires the modernization of teacher training. The imbalance between the social demand for highly qualified pedagogical staff and the outdated teacher training system stimulates the development of innovative educational environments, which should ensure the formation of high-level professional competence of university students. The article describes the experience of modeling an innovative environment by means of a student-centered training and practice center, which performs educational activities based on competency and STEM approaches. The conceptual basis of the technology is the guiding principles of partnership pedagogy, STEM education, competency and transdisciplinary approaches, technologies of student-centered teaching. The content component of the technology is modeling of natural science and mathematical education on the basis of current educational standards for institutions of higher and secondary education. The procedural component of the technology is the set of innovative forms and methods of educational activity that are integrated into long-term socio-scientific projects. Modeling of innovative educational environment by means of STEM and Art education provided an opportunity to introduce social and scientific projects satellites: children and youth experimentarium "Time Line", "Bank of Science", "Interesting Science in the City Streets" and others. The results of the work of the educational scientific laboratory are the development and implementation of innovative forms of educational activity in the system of training of future teachers. Innovative technology of transdisciplinary approach in education can be implemented by means of STEM platforms. The Center's Scientific and Methodological Laboratory investigates the process of introducing higher education technologies, develops a network of interactive playgrounds based on the STEM approach and approves innovative forms of educational activity. The Elements of the developed innovative scientific infrastructure were introduced at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of the V.O. Sukhomlynskyi Mykolayiv National University and in the educational institutions that are partners of the project.

Abstract:

A problem of the notion natural science education (NSE) exists (English Science; Russian Естествознание /Естественнонаучное образование/, природоведение, окружающий мир, latvian Dabaszinatniskâ izglitiba/Dabas maciba, German Naturwissenschaft, French Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre, Norwegian Naturvitenskap/naturfag etc.). The concept is not properly and appropriately defined and this is a future task of didactics. On the other hand, in discussion on primary school this concept is not very suitable. Therefore, less complicated concepts basically defining natural science education such as The World Science, Me and the World, Nature and Human Being, Environment Study, We and the World, etc. are frequently applied. The most frequent and widely used term in Lithuania is natural science education. In the Lithuanian language – gamta (nature) + mokslas (science) + ugdymas (education) make one compound „gamtamokslinis“ and together with a term „ugdymas“ – „gamtamokslinis ugdymas“. Analogically the term is built in the Latvian language – daba (nature) + zinâtne (science) + izglitiba (education) – „dabaszinatniskâ izglitiba“. It should be emphasized that the present day educational terminology holds many obscurities. It is difficult to precisely choose an equivalent of the term in English. Researchers are expected to work hard as adjusting terminology is a very complex job in this field. I suppose that the explanation of the concept of natural sciences in a broad sense is logical. The concept „natural science education“ is the most appropriate in this context. The present natural science knowledge is related to the processes taking place in technical and social life, in the fields of ecology, health service, hygiene, demography, natural resources, etc. From this point of view, a term „natural science and technology education“ /NSTE/ seems to be reasoned today. The researchers’ communities have even certain problems in the field (for example, they have different attitudes towards natural science education and its place in the system of general education). In our opinion, natural science education is a field of social sciences (primarily educology). Public society approach to natural science education (general needs, general level of culture, traditions in the light of interaction with nature, the need to have society and the young generation of a privileged natural science background, etc.), its optimal conditions of implementation (the standards of natural science education and material, human, etc. resources undertaking their success), the development of the needs and motivation of nature study (in a broad sense) (improving the need to perceive nature throughout all studies in comprehensive school, enhancing cognitive relation with nature, etc.), natural science results: knowledge, abilities, relations (studying natural sciences, etc.) are the crucial components of natural science education. Secondary comprehensive education is the only stage for the young generation creating an opportunity to receive fundamental systemic natural science-technological education. Received NSTE (natural science-technological education) for the majority will be the only form to acknowledge this field as they will not have such a possibility for many reasons in the future. Having assessed the produced and expected changes of the educational system it is essential to stress that natural science education feels a lack of attention in the structure of the educational system (formal, informal). Key words: science education, concept, structure, technology education.

Abstract:

Studies have shown that various factors (the role of formal education, informal education, and community) contribute to the lack of participation in STEM and STEM careers. This research aimed to understand the multi pathways of factors contributing to the interest in STEM careers (STEM careers in physical sciences and STEM careers in life sciences). This research was a survey research which administered a questionnaire randomly to 1485 secondary school students (14 years of age). Data analysis was based on the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) to test the hypothesized model. A model containing five constructs, namely environmental factors (learning experiences, media, social influences), self-efficacy in science, technology, engineering and mathematics respectively, perceptions of STEM careers and interest in physical sciences and life sciences STEM careers was proposed in this research. The results show that students’ interest in life sciences based careers is influence by their self-efficacy and perceptions of the career. Meanwhile, students’ interest in physical sciences based careers is influence only by their self-efficacy and not influence by their perceptions of the career. The need to improve students’ self-efficacy through STEM learning experiences is imperative to ensure continued interest in STEM careers. Key words: environmental factors, life sciences STEM careers, perceptions of STEM careers, physical sciences STEM careers, self-efficacy, social cognitive career theory.

Abstract:

Global informatization is one of the dominant trends in contemporary social reality. Digital information and communication technologies have enormous innovation potential for the overall modernization and transformation of education and the enrichment of pedagogical sciences. Realizing this potential requires technologies to be fully integrated into educational practice. A high degree of integration is a prerequisite for the implementation of constructivism, increasing autonomy, personal responsibility of learners and the opportunity for personalized learning. Digital technological integration is a progressive change of education to a degree of transformation. In the process of gradual merging of information and communication and pedagogical technologies, innovative pedagogical practices are created, and they cannot be realized without modern technological means. The characteristics of the methods of teaching and learning with digital technologies determine different degrees of integration which are entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation. The current features of the applied methods for using Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the Bulgarian secondary education in technology, and entrepreneurship (grades 5-7) were studied by surveying 127 pedagogues teaching this subject. A questionnaire is attached examining the goals, frequency use of digital tools in the educational process, and the applied management decisions for choosing the digital tools and working with them. The analysis of the obtained data showed that ICT was used, but the degree of integration was low and corresponded to the initial levels of entry and initial adoption of the integration process. In isolated cases, lessons were held according to how students performed in activities specific to their level of adaptation.

Abstract:

This paper examines the school-wide introduction of the tablet computer as a mobile learning tool in a secondary school in Belgium. Drawing upon the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior, we question during three waves of data collection which factors influence teachers' and students' acceptance and use of these devices for educational purposes. The first wave indicated that attitudes towards the rollout are generally positive. Teachers and students are intrinsically motivated, welcoming it as an instrumental, and for students enjoyable, learning tool. However students do report feelings of social pressure. While after three months, the prior expectations hold up for both stakeholders, results of the third wave show a different pattern. Teachers' acceptance seems to be related to attaining a positive attitude, social influence and the sense to master the new technology while regarding students' results; only behavioral control remains significant. These results challenge teaching practices and invite manifold areas for further research.

Abstract:

AbstractAfter 1990, the Slovak Republic saw an emergence of a negative attitude towards technical education at primary schools. However, since the beginning of the 21st century the Government has been aware of the unfavourable development of technical education in Slovakia, and according to its autumn 2012 policy statement, it considered “education, science, research and innovation, information and digitization to be essential pillars of the knowledge-based society and economy”. This statement also indicated support for strengthening of education focused on natural sciences and engineering. One of its main preconditions would be innovation of educational programs at different levels of the educational system in accordance with the requirements of pedagogical practice and in line with current needs of the labour market. Therefore, it will support the education leading to the development of job skills of primary school pupils to ensure professional orientation of students, particularly at secondary vocational schools.The importance of technical education for the overall development of children is discussed in relation to the preparation of students to study at secondary vocational schools. A successful completion of topics in the subject of Technology at primary schools (PS) is a prerequisite for an easier transition of pupils to secondary vocational schools.

Abstract:

The goal of the study is to contribute to the problem in hand regarding the insufficiently developed digital competencies of teachers of social scientific subjects within the secondary education. The solution to it is based on a precondition that if the teachers will not be digitally competent they will not be able to develop the digital competence of students. This fact can negatively affect their ability to find employment at the labour market of the 21st century, preparedness to further professional education and ability to participate at the lifelong learning. The text at issue solves the problem of digital technology integration into teaching of social sciences, emphasizes multidisciplinary approach to the humanities, social and technological sciences, presents the need of development of teachers´ technical thinking relating to social scientific subjects and specifies common features and differences of the pedagogical and technological sciences. The study is the actual output of the project TAČR (PID: TL 01000192, in the period 02/2018 – 02/2021). It is based on the sub-chapter ”Integration of the digital technology into teaching of social sciences” that will be embodied in the currently prepared monograph “Development of teachers´ digital competencies relating to social scientific subjects at vocational schools”.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the problem of improvement of methodological competence of music teachers in general secondary educational institutions through a well-thought-out system of school methodical work. The definition ofsuchconceptsas“professionalcompetenceofamusicteacher” and“methodicalcompetenceofamusicteacher” is proposed. Under the professional competence of a music teacher we understand the holistic characteristics of the personality of the specialist with the already-formed set of competencies that allow him to perform his professional functions effectively, to update and enrich his knowledge constantly, to develop new skills according to the level of science and technology, to be ready for social changes, to enjoy his professional activities. In its turn, the methodical competence of the teacher-musician is interpreted as an integral characteristic of personality, which determines the ability to solve professional problems in situations of real practical musical-educational activities, corresponds to the main types of methodical activities of music teachers and is a set of components such as orientational (professional orientation), cognitive (methodical knowledge), operational-active (methodical skills), personal (professionally significant personal qualities) and social-behavioral (experience). The functions of methodical work in the institution of general secondary education (planning, organizational, diagnostic, prognostic, modeling, corrective functions) and criteria of optimality of results of teacher’s methodical work (criterion of efficiency, criterion of rational spending time and economy, satisfaction of the teacher with the work, criterion of effective methodical work) are studied out. The characteristics of traditional and innovative methods, forms and technologies of improving the methodological competence of music teachers in general secondary education are given, which include concilium, round table, methodical ring, auction of pedagogical ideas, business game, week of pedagogical sciences, pedagogical workshop, master classes , pedagogical mosaic, creative laboratory, discussion-aquarium, debates, information and communication technologies, etc.

Abstract:

PurposeGender inequalities in higher education have attracted interest in the academic literature. The paper aims to discuss this issue.Design/methodology/approachThe author uses standardized high school final exam results and probit regression analysis to contribute to this highly important discussion.FindingsBased on secondary, non-survey data, female students tend to outperform males in subjects requiring creativity. Consistent with this comparative advantage, female students also tend to be more affected by their abilities in choosing and preferring the related field of humanities as a higher education. In line with female students’ choices, the results presented in the paper confirm that men are more inclined toward exact and natural sciences, even though they do not prove to have stronger abilities in related subjects. In addition, men are also more influenced by their abilities in obtaining a professional higher education. The choice of social sciences is quite similarly affected by the academic abilities of men and women. The paper also provides evidence that, on average, individuals choose their field of study according to their academic abilities.Originality/valueFor evidence, a data set that makes it possible to relate quantitative measures of very different academic abilities to all major academic disciplines is used in the paper. This unique approach has so far been lacking in the literature due to data limitations. In other words, instead of concentrating on a specific area, such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), the author takes a broader view.

Abstract:

Educational robotics (ER) is increasingly present in secondary education classrooms and has acquired greater projection, especially with the appearance of championships, such as FIRST® LEGO® League. These competitions are based on a globalizing focus of the different areas of the curriculum, therefore, we consider that it directly links with the achievement of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) skills. We present a research study that provides objective data based on the opinions of teachers and students that participated in this championship during the course 2017/2018 about its impact in the learning process. To this end, Spanish students and teachers answered questionnaires to collect their perceptions and assessments just after their participation. The results obtained allow us to conclude that both teachers and students believe this project promotes interest and scientific curiosity, as well as social skills through teamwork.

Abstract:

In general, considering a reasonable and relative periodicity, the school curriculum has to pass a process of updating and/or reform - in many cases, in strong connection to the nature and extent of the changes that occurred in each educational system, but also linked with what is happening in the society. Nowadays, many opportunities for getting knowledge and developing personal and social affirmation of each individual are related to the spectacular advancement of science and technology. In the actual context, significant changes are noticed in the labor market, pushing the educational systems to anticipate the needs of the near-future society, not just to react to technological developments. In this respect, creativity, entrepreneurial and managerial skills, responsible use of technology, responsible research and innovation, are already present in the education of the 21st century. In this respect, nano-education has been introduced and developed in Romania, and recording an entire process of consolidation, especially at the level of higher education - promoting nano-area as one of the most dynamic big domains in the world of research since the beginning of the century. However, in secondary education, the preoccupations remain sporadic, several positive aspects being recorded especially in non-formal education. This paper tries to offer an answer related to how important nano-education is for the actual generation of youngers, and what are the main problems that teachers face when trying to promote aspects linked with the nano-world.

Abstract:

The Post World War II years witnessed increasing involvement of international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the social and economic transfiguration of the Third World nations. Nigeria as a developing economy did attract the attention of the Ford Foundation to the development of her social sector particularly. The paper examined the Ford Foundation engagements in all facets of the Nigerian educational system, namely, primary, secondary and tertiary levels. The resultant findings revealed that despite its constraints, the huge investments of the Ford Foundation in the areas of comprehensive high school education, teaching and research as well as information and communication technology, no doubt, helped in identifying and nurturing the potentials of Nigerian students for academic, technical or general education. The paper concluded that the involvement of the Ford Foundation in Nigerian educational development helped, in no small way, in re-directing the course of Nigeria’s educational system. It recommended that Nigeria government should redouble its efforts towards providing an enabling environment that will attract more credible NGOs like Ford Foundation and encourage them to play effective role not only within the educational sector but also in other key sectors such as agriculture, health, science and technology to assist the country achieve the much touted Millennium Development Goals.

Abstract:

This article outlines their impact on China's technological innovation capabilities from nine aspects including primary and secondary education to university education, the shortcomings of scientific research evaluation system, the forward-looking of educational investment and the rationality of research funding, the negative feedback of the employment market on innovative research, intellectual property protection and incentive mechanism, The basic social system and its incentive mechanism combined with learning and research, the incentive mechanism and cultural atmosphere of enterprises and administrative institutions, and the origin of China's modern education model. The comprehensive analysis shows that changing the status quo of China's lack of innovation is a systematic project. A single ministry cannot complete many specific measures of reform, and must have a national-level top-level design. Through reform, the education and scientific research system has reasonable design and strong self-repairing ability. It is the need of innovation to promote industrial upgrading. Its effectiveness directly determines whether China can cross the middle income trap and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Abstract:

The article considers the problem of pedagogical integration as a phenomenon that is ambiguously perceived in the educational circle. The processes of formation of the phenomenon of integration in the historical review, its manifestations and evaluation in the educational process, transformation in modern conditions has been studied in the article. The reasons for the negative attitude to integration in Natural Science and ways to eliminate them have been clarified. The advantages of applying integration to the processes of constructing the content of Natural Science Education and teaching Natural Science Subjects in institutions of general secondary education have been revealed. There are three levels of application of integration in teaching Natural Subjects: integrated Natural Science Course, intersubject integration of Natural Science Subjects, and intersectoral integration of Natural Science Subjects in the school education system. Models of integrated teaching of Natural Science Subjects in institutions of general secondary education have been substantiated. In the model of training in integrated Natural Science Courses, training has been carried out according to one program, which lays down mechanisms for organizing the content and process of mastering ordered Natural Science knowledge. In the integrative Natural Science model, training has been carried out according to a set of educational programs in individual Natural Science subjects, in which the content and methods of teaching are based on the general apparatus of Natural Sciences, the expected learning results are aimed at forming a key competence in the field of Natural Sciences, Engineering and Technology. The integrating cross-industry model lays the foundations for the formation of cross-cutting skills and flexible skills. All three models complement each other and ensure the continuity and integrity of Natural Science Education. The pros and cons of integrating school Natural Science Education that we have reviewed allow us to draw the following conclusions. At present stage the problem of pedagogical integration is being updated, which requires a detailed study of the existing experience in implementing an integrated approach to teaching Natural Science Subjects. The phenomenon of pedagogical integration is not well-established and unambiguous. The taxonomy of pedagogical integration is determined by conditions, factors, objects and processes, which determines the various levels and degrees of manifestation and application of integration, its forms, types and functions. The application of an integrated approach in the study of both integrated Natural Science courses and in the case of studying individual Natural Science Subjects is a mandatory and crucial condition for building a natural education system.

The information and communication technology (ICT) become paramount in the contemporary whereas the society and other educational partners would not be far away from uses of this developmental technology. This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of teachers on applying ICT in public secondary schools in Zanzibar. The survey questionnaires deployed as the instrument tool for the data collection in six public secondary schools in Zanzibar. Data analysed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21, and the results revealed that the teachers’ have the positive perceptions towards the adoption of ICT use in an education setting. Consequently, the utilisation of technology encourages teaching and learning. Indeed, the teachers showed to be ready to incorporate the ICT use in the teaching process. However, lack of enough time and cost of the ICT services contributed factors that impediment the teachers to embrace ICT use. Moreover, the results demonstrate some teachers’ ignorance in insensitive of ICT skills.

Starting from secondary and higher education, there is practically no difference in the ratio of enrollment of students between men and women. However, historically, especially at the beginning of the formation of the modern education system, the opportunities for girls to get education were less favorable than for boys. Even in the compulsory primary school, the frequency of girls attending educational institutions was very low. Access to secondary education for girls was also limited. The situation began to change at the turn of the 19–20 centuries. In Japan, a number of laws were passed that opened the doors of educational institutions for girls. In September 1872, the Law on Education was passed, which introduced compulsory primary education for all. Representatives of all social groups, as well as women received the right to education. According to this law, by 1880, 25,000 primary schools should be created in the country. It is important to remember that then almost all children began to attend school. At that time, foreign specialists are actively involved, who help to adapt to the new system, and teach in schools. Education along with military service and the taxes payment became the third important duty of the Japanese. Japan has achieved gender equality in education, at least provided equal opportunities for access to every level of education. There was an imbalance in the gender distribution of students at some faculties and departments in higher education institutions. Thus, for example, women were prevailing in the field of education, literature, nursing, men were prevailing in science and technology. However, thereafter, the number of female students specializing in science and technology substantially increased. Today, many girls are studying at the National Defense Academy and the University of Marine Science and Technology. All this became possible thanks to the reforms that the Japanese educational system began in the early twentieth century

Abstract:

The article deals with the problems of designing and updating study programmes during the integration process of the Lithuanian education system into the European education space. After the substantial change of general programmes of Basic education(2008) and Secondary education (2011) and seeking to fully involve self-development of general cultural, subject specific, generic and specific competencies which are necessary for teachers, it is important to update the study programmes.The problem of the research: what content of technology teacher training programme should be from the innovations point of view in order to meet the expectations of the changing society.The object of the research: the innovative content of the technology teacher training programme.The aim of the research: to highlight the innovative aspects of the content of technology teacher training programmes, having performed content analysis of technology teacher training programmes of the universities of Lithuania and some European countries.Research methods:analysis of scientific literature, analysis of the programmes of universities of some European countries which provide training for technology teachers as well as the analysis of the legal acts and strategic education policy documents of the European Union and the Republic of Lithuania.Updating of the study programme of technological education is a permanent process, which is conditioned by the following factors: market economy and the needs of information society, the fact that higher education is becoming mass, penetration of humanistic ideas into the content of education as well as the valid unified study quality assessment policy in the European Union.Taking into account the recommendations of the international experts’ group and considering international changes of analogous study programmes, the Committee of Technology Pedagogics Study Programmes of Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences in cooperation with the social partners carried out a research of opinions of students, graduates, university lecturers and employers on the study quality.They also performed a comprehensive analysis of the Bachelor’s degree study programmes of some Western European universities. The analysis revealed that theoretical models of study programmes design of different European universities have similarities and differences, which are determined by the philosophical aspect, humanistic ideas and the context of the national education policy. In the research the experience of five universities from the innovations point of view was used: the University of Helsinki (Finland), Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh (Great Britain), the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (Portugal), and the University of Iceland.The following elective subjects have been included in the study programme of technology pedagogics: pedagogical ethics, sustainable development and social welfare, educational creative projects, family health education, health promoting nutrition education, visualization of technology education, eco creations, national and global food culture, interior design, technology education for special needs students, art therapy, development of leadership competencies, formation of study archives. The hidden curriculum of the study programme of technology pedagogics is ethnic culture, ecology, project activities.

Abstract:

Botswana through its two educational reform philosophies of 1977 and 1994 envisioned a developing education system that is on par with international standards. According to Tabulawa (2009), the education system was developed to produce critical thinkers, problem solvers, and innovative learners. The system was designed to provide opportunities for all students by providing access to all, improve the standards of education, emancipate Batswana from illiteracy, and develop their capabilities to create a social transformation in their lives. Education was to be a vehicle for continuous positive change that would ultimately enable people to build a better world. However, the system is wanting since most students drop out of school, fail the national examinations, or are unemployable graduates. Research shows that the standard and quality of education is deteriorating as evidenced by high rates of failure at primary and secondary schools. This paper established the reasons for deteriorating standards and failure of students; and whether this was a result of the difficulty, the country finds itself in attempting to re-think and change its educational system to improve the standards or any other factors. This paper reviewed the obstacles leading to high failure rate in one primary school and the need to overhaul, rethink, reform and transform the country’s education system. This study was carried out at the Ministry of Education and Skills Development, which is presently divided into two sub departments; the Ministry of Basic Education and Tertiary Education, Research, Science and Technology and one (1) primary school in Gaborone through the use of qualitative method.

The development of private videodisc programs for elementary and secondary schools is also discussed. While the author feels that this is a promising technology, he considers it as still in an experimental stage. The Videodisc Interactive Microcomputer (VIM) project supported by the Center for Libraries and Educational Improvement included forty-five elementary schools in seventeen states. The best liked of the forty-five discs supplied to the schools was the “WHALES” disc developed by the National Geographic Society and the University of Nebraska. Developments in both hardware and software make it possible for the average school to purchase off-shelf operating educational programs. Pioneers in the commercial field have been Video Discovery and their bio-science discs, and Video Vision with their space discs. System Impact Incorporated of Washington, D.C. has just introduced a new comprehensive basic mathematics series, and the Society for Visual Education of Chicago, Illinois has introduced a social studies series. Videodisc technology holds great promise for educators at all levels.

Abstract:

The article reveals the essence and significance of project technology in the teaching of natural sciences in the New Ukrainian school, actualizes the problem of training future teachers to use project technology in the teaching of natural sciences. It is determined that the project method is a learning technology focused not on the integration of factual knowledge, but on their use and acquisition of new knowledge and skills (sometimes through self-education) in the process of performing practical tasks. The article describes the features of projects and their types. Emphasis is placed on educational projects provided by the school curriculum in natural subjects (physics, chemistry, biology). It has been found that the features of project technology are action-oriented, teamwork, self-organization of students, situational orientation, correlation with real life, reliance on previous achievements of each student, their existing experience, interdisciplinary, integrity, focus on the finished product, and a certain result. The main stages of project implementation in general secondary education institutions are analyzed (initiation, work planning, project implementation, project presentation, project reflection, evaluation of results). The advantages of project technology are established: stimulation of students’ independent activity, improvement of information retrieval skills, intensification of research and creative activity of schoolchildren, provision of students’ need for self-realization and self-development, the practical significance of work results, a real result. Sciences allow them not only to acquire new knowledge, to understand the interdisciplinary links in science education, to improve design skills, but also to learn to methodically organize the project activities of pupils and perform interdisciplinary learning projects. That is, the preparation of future science teachers for the application of project technology in professional activities is a mandatory component of their professional training in a higher education institution.

Abstract:

Wider knowledge update is always a big challenge for schools. In the event of changes in the curriculum, a question naturally arises: where teachers and students will get new teaching materials. It is necessary to renew textbooks and other teaching tools and to help teachers learn how to work with new knowledge. Natural science laboratory material base in secondary schools has been renewed by implementation of the project "Infrastructure of technology arts and natural sciences”. However, to achieve the desired result, it is necessary to find out whether there is sufficient infrastructure, whether new equipment conforms to expectations of the teacher, whether teachers are able to learn independently and appropriately use new laboratory equipment and modern tools. All this added together can require a systematic teacher training. The paper presents research connected with the new equipment and teaching tools received by Lithuanian secondary schools under the project "Infrastructure of technology arts and natural sciences” and their potential application in teaching physics. Information gathering and data processing unit Xplorer (GLX), Science Learning Systems (Nova and Spark) with sensors are analyzed. Questionnaire survey results of the teachers having this equipment are presented. Key words: Science learning System, teaching physics, educational equipment, teachers’ opinion.

Abstract:

Sometimes we may ask ourselves how can astronomy, a science with apparently few points of contact with technology or industrial production, help the economic development of people?My paper is an account of an experiment undertaken in Uruguay on the teaching of astronomy in secondary schools. We seek to show how astronomy may contribute to the development of nations that, like Uruguay, need to create their own technologies to overcome their economic backwardness.Though the introduction of astronomy in the secondary education curriculum in Uruguay dates back to 1889, in 1986 the Educational Supervisory Office made a radically different proposal for the methodological and programmatic orientation of astronomy teaching. The proposed goal is clear: the teaching of astronomy in secondary education should be geared not to train technicians but to create a scientific-minded youth. It is not important if later, in their university studies, these young people go into medicine, engineering, or economics; the important thing is a reevaluation of sciences in the eyes of adolescents, who often slide along the comfortable slope of certain humanistic areas, in which they wind up by the process of elimination. (One often hears the argument, “I’m studying law because it doesn’t have mathematics.”) Further, above all those considerations, the most important thing is to create thinking minds, the minds of free people.

Abstract:

The research problem is the development of the personal self-determination of secondary school students in the process of learning based on the humanitarization of education. The research has been underpinned by the humanitarian paradigm of education, which is the result of the development of pedagogical methodology. In the 21st century, pedagogy is viewed as a social-humanitarian science with the predominance of the humanitarian component. We regard humanitarization as a contemporary technology of the educational process. The aims of the study are to analyse the characteristics of the personal self-determination of adolescents, identify the structure of the personal self-determination of secondary school students and determine conditions for the development of the personal self-determination of secondary school students in the process of learning. The research methods include observation, survey, conversation, an establishing experiment, mathematical statistics. The research results:1. there was determined the structure of personal self-determination of secondary school students as the system of inter-connected components;2. it was established that the humanitarization of the educational process is the key precondition for the development of the personal self-determination of secondary school students both regarding the logic of the subject and the logic of the process of learning (changing the style of relationships), as well as the logic of education (understanding culture as the world of human attitudes and meanings);3. the key values of secondary school students were identified, which were mainly pragmatic values.

Abstract:

The discussion about the use of digital technologies in education is not new. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the total closure of schools around the world, that forced millions of students to attend their classes from home, has demonstrated the importance of this discussion. It has highlighted the need to revisit debates about the interactions between technology and education, and the added value of digital resources to enhance the educational process. This article, based on an exploratory analysis, aims to understand how the transition from face-to-face to digital was accomplished in Portuguese primary and secondary education, namely regarding teacher training and the difficulties experienced during the emergency remote education period. The data analysed in this article were collected through an online questionnaire, disseminated through online social networks, and answered by 136 Portuguese primary and secondary education teachers. The questions focused on this article were open-ended, and the information collected was analysed using content analysis methodology. The results show how teachers have been forced to modify their pedagogical work, the importance of training, and the inherent challenges and critical reflections associated with the process, as well as the opportunities presented in a post-pandemic educational reality.

Abstract:

This research will review about nationalism in university. The first part of this research will introduce the meaning of nationalism and relation with civic education in university. Nationalism is defined as a love of their country and most citizens feel a sense of nationalism. Civic education in the university is required to strengthen the students in shaping the attitude of nationalism. Students are spearheading the future of a country that they have to love their country because the science which is accepted must be applied in their social life. The main mission of civic education is to help students establish the values of their personality, in order to be able to realize the basic values of Pancasila consistently, also their sense of nationalism in developing science, technology and art with morality. The obstacle of applying nationalism in Civic Education is because of too theoretical and not oriented to the practice of students in community.

Abstract:

COVID-19 has changed the field of education. This paper aimed to re-envision the post-pandemic higher education landscape in Saudi Arabia. This study employed descriptive-qualitative research design. Twenty postgraduates completed a journal task at a public university in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The responses revealed their first-hand experience of multi-sectorial communities caused by the COVID-19 lockdown, including students, parents and teachers. Results showed that there are seven positive and eight negative impacts of emergency distance education caused by the pandemic lockdown and various themes have emerged, including Social and Educational. To succeed in the post-pandemic era, teachers need to acquire online pedagogical content knowledge and teaching strategies, conduct effective student evaluation and engage students in both virtual and in-person labs and classrooms. This study contributes to quality access of students toward online learning in countries, where distance education is still in its infant stage, such as Saudi Arabia.

Abstract:

The article aims at identifying current problems of the commodity experts training, their demand in the labor market and determining ways to solve these problems. A man analyzed 3-5-year data on the admission, graduation and employment of bachelor graduates in the field of commodity science in three universities: the Russian University of Economics named after Georgiy V. Plekhanov (RUE, Moscow), Ural State University of Economics (USUE, Ekaterinburg), Oryol State University named after Ivan S. Turgenev (OSU, Oryol). As a result, there is a tendency to the student number reduction in the Commodity Science training program. The authors determined the reasons for this fall. The actual modern problems of commodity training program development are: 1) low demand on the commodity experts in the labor market despite the increase in the share of counterfeit, including low quality, and fake goods in trade; 2) discrepancy of the training program 38.03.07 “Сommodity Science”, included in the extended group of economic sciences, to the technological features run by commodity experts, and expert expertise functions of the expert organizations; 3) incompliance of the higher-educational training program “Commodity Science” to the entitle of science degree 05.18.15 “Technology and Commodity Science of Food Products of Functional and Specialized Purpose and Public Catering”; 4) difference between the entitle of higher-educational training program 38.03.07 “Commodity Science” and secondary-educational training program 38.02.05 “Commodity Science and Quality Expertise of Consumer Goods” that does not meet the requ§irements the higher education and secondary vocational education, and also violates the principle of education continuity during the transition from the lowest education level to the highest; 5) absence of a science degree on commodity non-food products that may soon lead to the shortage of lecturer with advanced degrees in this specialty; 6) decline in the classroom share, including laboratory and practical classes, which shortage cannot be filled by self-study of educational and scientific literature; 7) failure of innovative approaches introduction o the modernization of the educational information content in the commodity research cycle disciplines, as well as related disciplines and methods of teaching; 8) lack of professional standards in the specialty “Сommodity Science.” The researchers outlined and justified ways of solving these problems.

Abstract:

This article examines the extent to which science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subject choice in upper secondary education explains gender differences in STEM enrollment in higher education. We adopt a cross-country approach using Germany, Ireland, and Scotland as three case studies. These countries differ in terms of both the degree of subject choice offered in upper secondary education and the relevance for higher education admission of having studied specific school subjects. Using datasets of young people from all three countries, our results indicate a stronger mediation of school subjects for Scotland than in Germany and Ireland and a remarkable gender gap in STEM enrollment in all three countries. We conclude that females studying science subjects within upper secondary education appears to be a necessary but not a sufficient condition to ensure gender equality in progression to STEM fields.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

The study aims to present the development of education in North Macedonia from the country’s independence to the present day, as documented in several national reports and other official documents. The focus is on development and changes in chemistry education throughout the years of primary, secondary and higher education. Particular attention is devoted to the introduction of the new curricula of natural sciences courses in primary education, which is an adapted curricula of the Cambridge International Examinations, and the use of information and communication technology in increasing the efficiency of the education system. Despite numerous reforms over the years, the country is still faced with various challenges and issues regarding chemistry teaching. Investment in education is constantly decreasing and no notable improvements in conditions for teaching chemistry are being made. Recommendations are made regarding the need for appropriately educated, qualified and motivated teaching staff, well-equipped laboratories and teaching resources, continuous professional development of teachers, mutual cooperation of all stakeholders in the educational process, and continuous support from the authorities and policy makers for gifted pupils and chemistry teachers at all levels.

Abstract:

This article describes a project intended to promote access to electroacoustic music for children and teenagers aged 6 to 15 years in a socially and educationally disadvantaged rural community in Michoacán, Mexico. It explores an educational model of teaching, learning and creation of electroacoustic music through the use of music technology and pedagogy based on constructivism and Paulo Freire’s ideas on education as a practice of freedom. It provides a pedagogical reflection on the processes of learning and appreciation of this new music. The project includes the use of an interactive music system – implemented in MaxMSP using a mobile phone OSC app to control space and its interaction with timbre, pitch and duration – as an aid in the classroom and its implementation in an educational programme with a social impact. The research covered in this article could be taken into account to deliver new music education in rural communities with similar socioeconomic circumstances.

Abstract:

The research is devoted to the scientific substantiation and practical approbation of the use of information and communication technologies in the development of economic competence of the heads of secondary education institutions. This study is due to the new economic conditions that are emerging in Ukraine, where special importance is given to knowledge of the principles and patterns of economic development of society, economic education. One of the priorities of the State Program of Economic and Social Development of Ukraine for 2020 is to provide state support for the training of specialists in areas that stimulate the development of priority basic sectors of the economy in the format of "science-education-technology". It is possible to improve the economic competence of heads of secondary education institutions in the system of open postgraduate education in full-time and distance form of advanced training with the use of information and communication technologies, which should play a leading role in distance learning. In our study, distance learning is characterized by the presence of information learning environment or means by which there is indirect communication between teachers and students, and the information learning environment of distance learning we mean a set of systematically organized, distributed data transmission, information resources, interaction protocols, hardware-programmed and organizational-methodical support, focused on meeting the educational needs of users. The scientific novelty and theoretical significance of the research results lie in the fact that for the first time the technology of development of economic competence of heads of secondary education institutions (MES) by means of information and communication technologies in the system of advanced training is theoretically substantiated and developed; the content of the concept of "professional competence" and its structural components are specified; the content of economic competence of the head of ZSO is selected and structured, the model of development of economic competence of the head of ZSO is improved; the organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development of economic competence of the head of ZSO in the system of advanced training are determined; Theoretical views on the process of development of professional competence of the leaders of ZSO and the use of information and communication technologies, their means in the system of open postgraduate education have been further developed. Scientific substantiation and practical testing of the use of information and communication technologies in open postgraduate education institutions allowed to distinguish a modern system of distance learning for heads of secondary education institutions, which contains the following components: system environment of distance learning; electronic database of educational materials; virtual laboratories, objects and subjects of distance learning systems, which are postgraduate education institutions.

Purpose This paper is the actualization of a researcher’s attempt to engage, both conceptually and methodologically, with the dynamic and ever-creative connections and forces associated with the schooling experiences of immigrant students. The research reported that in this paper comprises part of a three-year research project funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and focuses on the interrelationships between immigration, technology and pop culture in a Canadian French-language secondary school. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Drawing from new materialist thought, the experience of one immigrant student is put to work with(in) the Deleuzo–Guattarian concepts of agencement, machines, language and power (pouvoir, puissance) with(in) the rhizoanalysis of a short video clip provided by the student. Findings With(in) the rhizoanalysis, the publication machine emerges as a force that could potentially affect the expression of one’s becoming citizen, and hacking emerges as a force that could contribute to the destabilization of the publication machine’s power (pouvoir). Originality/value The originality of this paper is that readers are also invited to contribute to this experimentation in contact with the real.

Abstract:

Information and communication technology (ICT) in education has currently become an unavoidable pedagogical tool in any educational system of high standards. Its integration signifies a change in the learning processes and knowledge transmission and acquisition. In this article, we present the results of an exploratory research that we led with engineering science teachers of the Mechanical Science and Technology stream in high schools belonging to two regional Moroccan academies (Grand Casablanca, Settat and the Oriental). Our study focuses on the identification of the unknown current state of affairs and related to the integration of ICT in this subject of secondary education of the Mechanical Science and Technology stream in Moroccan high schools. The results have shown that 95% of the interrogated teachers displayed a big interest towards the usage of ICT in their teaching practices whilst only 22.5% of them already integrate it regularly in the classroom. This paradox is chiefly due to a shortage of equipment within the institution, the lack of software and applications suitable for E.S as well as teachers’ qualification and training. We also estimate that this research’s results could prove useful to other streams while the integration of ICT in the training of future teachers and in the practices of the classroom still remains problematic.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine English teaching practices through distance education based on the experiences of English teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research is a case study designed according to the qualitative research model. The study group of the research, which were determined through easily accessible case sampling, consists of 13 English teachers employed in public and private lower secondary schools. The data of the study were collected through a semi-structured interview form. Content analysis method was used to analyze the data. The main results of the research can be listed as follows: For most teachers, the course preparation process in distance education is more comprehensive and time-consuming than face-to-face education. However, there are also teachers who do not try too much to plan the process and stay away from technology. The positive reflections of the preparation process on the teaching process, such as providing a variety of methods, techniques, materials, activities and employing technology more, were observed. Teachers evaluate more on homework, student participation and effort. The majority of teachers find distance language teaching sustainable within the framework of their own experience. When the findings of the research are evaluated together, distance language teaching seems to have the potential to be an educational opportunity when it is carried out under appropriate conditions.
