- Abstract
Across the nation, states and school districts face a persistent shortage of educators with expertise in promoting both the English proficiency and academic achievement of English learner (EL) students. To help improve educators' qualifications and classroom instruction for ELs, the National Professional Development (NPD) program has awarded grants for EL-focused educator professional development projects since 2002. This U.S. Department of Education-funded program allows grantees to serve the varied types of educators who work with ELs, including those preparing to join the educator workforce, and encourages grantees to focus on professional development topics and approaches supported by rigorous research evidence. In addition, the NPD program encourages grantees to engage in evaluation activities, including performance measurement and rigorous evaluations of project effectiveness, that may inform project improvement and contribute to evidence building. This study examines the extent to which NPD grantees implemented their projects in ways aligned with these program objectives, drawing primarily on a 2021 survey of all 2016 and 2017 NPD grantees.

5. AI in the Discourse of the Relationships between Technology and Education
- Author
-
José Luis Rodríguez Illera
- Abstract
The article reviews some of the relationships between AI and education, emphasizing the metaphors used, the difficulties in finding points of agreement, as well as aspects of the social criticism that is made of AI (e.g. considering that it can be a form of unwanted deviation). AI appears as one more case of technology that comes to improve education, as happened in the past with other less "intelligent" technologies, although now with more arguments in its favor. Secondly, it explores the logical mechanisms (abduction) that are widely used in human reasoning but also in AI, showing how their uncontrolled use can lead to certain conversation algorithms being able to lie, something that teachers would not do. An ethical rather than logical question is raised that deserves to be explored later.

- Abstract
We utilize a difference-in-difference design to examine the effect of adopting a statewide promise program on the enrollment of community college students across socio-economic status. Limited by a small sample size for treated units, we find inferential evidence that the adoption of a state-wide, last-dollar promise program for community colleges with no merit-based or need-based criteria raised the enrollment of in-state first-time-in-college, full-time students in their first year of college from families that earned between $0 and $75,000 in adjusted gross income. Effect sizes were largest for students from the lowest SES group ($0 to $30,000) approximately 168 additional students enrolled per 2-year institution per year following Tennessee Promise program adoption. Findings controlled for year-to-year variations in unemployment and state price parities. We discuss benefits and concerns regarding scholarships such as the Tennessee Promise that increase enrollment for lower-income students but do not affect the amount of financial aid included in their award packages in practice.

Rima Al-Tawil and Debra Hoven
- Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the significance of re-humanizing education and educational research within an AI-dominated era. We also suggest that tactile learning, often overlooked in educational research and digital pedagogies, cultivates unique ways of multi-sensory knowing and encourages holistic understanding, complementing intellectual learning and enriching research processes. Using the metaphors and practices of weaving, knitting, and crocheting, we argue that tactile experiences, especially those involving fiber crafts, create a fabric of interconnections, fostering growth and intellectual expansion. Exploring the applicability of tactile learning in the educational landscape, we examine a number of scholarly works that demonstrate the benefits of integrating fiber craft activities in educational settings across various learning levels. We also delve into the role of researchers as makers and weavers, arguing that the tangible act of textile creation, namely tapestry-making and knitting, encourages reflexivity and allows for revisiting assumptions, refining and deepening meaning-making. We further emphasize the potential of tactile learning as a tool for fostering inclusivity in education and accessibility in the dissemination of research findings. Recognizing the need for academic work to be comprehensible beyond the confines of academia, we suggest the use of tactile representations, such as a woven tapestry, as non-traditional, creative ways to share research outcomes with a wider and more diversified audience. In essence, this paper underscores the potential of a combination of tactile learning and reflexivity in inspiring new insights and threading humanity back into education and educational research.

K. Bret Staudt Willet and Hunhui Na
- Abstract
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has ignited debates regarding its potential benefits and detriments for education. Despite widespread discussions, insights into GenAI's impact on education have been limited because early studies have often been narrow in scope and focused on specific contexts. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the volume, engagement, and content of initial reactions to one leading GenAI tool, ChatGPT. Specifically, we collected and analyzed public online discussions of ChatGPT in the first four months following the tool's release. We collected 345 posts and 6,463 comments about ChatGPT from 25 education-focused subreddits. We analyzed the volume, engagement, and content of ChatGPT discussions through descriptive statistics and natural language processing techniques. Findings show relatively low volume of ChatGPT discussions, unevenly spread across education-related subreddits--with the majority of the discussions occurring in two subreddits, while six subreddits did not have any discussions. Despite this, the level of engagement within ChatGPT posts was substantial; for instance, a ChatGPT post hosted a median of 15 comments, and these comments were lengthy, indicating rich engagement rather than superficial. The content of ChatGPT discussions across the six largest education-related subreddits differed in the degree of analytical thinking and emotional tone even while sharing a predominant focus on students and AI. Diverse reactions to and perspectives on GenAI--observed from varied levels of volume, engagement, and content of ChatGPT across educational-related subreddits--highlights how diverse educational stakeholders reacted to GenAI differently, offering insights into how to explore, analyze, and comprehend the spread and adoption of technological innovation in education.

9. Challenge-Based Learning for Competency Development in Engineering Education, a Prisma-Based Systematic Literature Review
- Author
-
Andreia Leles, Luciana Zaina, and Jose Roberto Cardoso
- Abstract
The teaching-learning process in engineering aims to meet current societal demands and address real challenges faced by businesses and the job market. Challenge-based learning (CBL) has gained traction as an active and innovative approach in engineering education, introducing real challenges and open questions to the classroom regarding environmental sustainability and issues faced by Industry 4.0. These challenges require resources and technology that turn the teaching-learning process into an open system, demanding partnerships beyond academia for validating deliverables and projects. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study aimed to systematically analyze the implementation and implications of CBL for competencies development. Following the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the PRISMA method, 62 articles were used for abstract analyses to identify methods, workload, resources, structure, technology, and stakeholder integration, as well as to answer the research questions. The studies were categorized into three types of applied challenges: 1) social and environmental sustainability; 2) Industry 4.0; and 3) those related to Educational Institutions. A total of 46 articles were analyzed in their entirety, and summarized in three tables. All analyzed studies showed that CBL is effective according to summative and formative assessments, leading to sociotechnical competencies development through experience with real-world challenges, teamwork, and interaction with external partners. As most studies are qualitative, there is room for quantitative investigations to better justify the relevance of CBL, especially in terms of adaptive and personalized learning. Moreover, the workload and complexity imposed by CBL, particularly on teachers, warrant further study to facilitate implementation and engagement.

- Author
-
Data Quality Campaign (DQC)
- Abstract
Each year, state legislators introduce hundreds of bills that generate new data collections, analyses, and resources, playing a crucial role in how people access and use data. Notably, in 2023 legislators introduced and enacted bills governing cross-agency data systems--the most important step that states must take to make robust access to data possible. Legislation also addressed funding state data systems, centering privacy, and ensuring greater access to data for decision-making. This resource spotlights the bills introduced and laws enacted in 2023 addressing data governance, as well as other Data Quality Campaign (DQC) recommendations for states to support data access through improved statewide longitudinal data systems (SLDSs). It also examines some bills that demonstrate how states found "lighter touch" ways to increase transparency and access to data.

Knowles, Ryan T., Camicia, Steven, and Nelson, Lorissa
- Abstract
Social media has provided challenges and opportunities for education for democracy. There have always been structural elements of communication that are hidden and perpetuate inequalities. Social media has accelerated and empowered these hidden structures through algorithms. In this argumentative essay, we examine how critical media literacy can uncover hidden power structures and support education for democracy. Critical media literacy can help students identify exclusionary, inaccurate, missing, and polarizing elements of social media while examining and discussing issues and events. Seen through this lens, social media provides opportunities for education for democracy. Critical media literacy and education for democracy provide opportunities for increasing civic engagement and renewal.

Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics
- Abstract
"America's Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2023," is a compendium of indicators about the Nation's young people. The report, the 25th produced by the Forum, presents 41 key indicators on important aspects of children's lives. These indicators are drawn from reliable Federal statistics, are easily understood by broad audiences, are objectively based on substantial research, are balanced so that no single area of children's lives dominates the report, are measured often to show trends over time, and are representative of large segments of the population rather than one particular group. The report continues to present key indicators in seven domains: family and social environment, economic circumstances, health care, physical environment and safety, behavior, education, and health. To ensure that the information stays relevant, the Forum periodically revises indicators, data sources, and features to maintain the relevance of the report.

Mehmet Sabir Çevik
- Abstract
This research aims to determine the overall effect size of gender and marital status on the perception of paternalistic leadership. In line with the research objective, studies on the perception of paternalistic leadership carried out between 2005 and 2022 in Türkiye were analysed with the meta-analysis method. Meta-analysis covered 22 studies on gender (n [subscript Gender]=9569) and 10 studies on marital status (n [subscript Marital Status]=6397) on the perception of paternalistic leadership. In this meta-analysis study utilising the random effects model, the Hedges' g value determining the standardised mean difference between the groups was used to calculate the effect sizes, and the origin of the heterogeneity in the research was tried to be determined by the moderator (sub-group) analyses. Research results revealed that the overall effect size of gender on the perception of paternalistic leadership was at a low level, with a value of 0.170, while the effect size of marital status was at a mean level, with a value of -0.523. However, it was determined in the moderator (sub-group) analyses that the effect size led to a statistically significant difference just in terms of sample groups in both gender and marital status variables.

Sinan Semiler and Nariman Saygili
- Abstract
Media literacy is an essential area of discussion with its digital competencies and skills, the online opportunities it provides, and the risks it carries. The mobilization of today's media tools, the ability to connect to the network through smartphones regardless of time and place, and easy accessibility have brought new media tools to the centre of our lives. The speed and change in new communication technologies present new opportunities and risks, especially for children and young people. Today, the new media environment and tools have a social role in determining, transforming, shaping and giving new forms to social relations. Communication relationships, online behaviours and attitudes realized by technology are the subjects of many studies. Being constantly networked or connected is essential in young people's social identity construction and carries many risks. The individual who needs to be media literate in the face of traditional media has to be much more conscious and educated in the face of multi-media channels and productions that are renewed and changed with today's digital developments. In this context, structural changes and transformations in information and communication technologies have made it necessary to discuss new media literacy and new literacy skills, online opportunities and risks. As a result of the conceptual discussion, it has been revealed that individuals who have the digital competencies and skills of the 21st century, who can use online opportunities at the maximum level, who are aware of online risks and can minimize them, should be trained with new media literacy education.

- Abstract
With the development of communication and information technologies, communication tools in the field of promotion and marketing have shifted from the traditional environment to the digital environment. In this context, the increase in Internet usage and the developing social media channels have started reaching much wider audiences. This situation has also led to transferring advertising and marketing activities to social media environments. Today, a new dimension has been added to the field of advertising, especially the environment prepared for viral ads to become influential on the masses. Viral ads, which are the subject of research, are spread by Internet users by filtering messages by people, transmitting them to another interested person and potentially transmitting and sharing the content of the message to those interested. The influence of social values on advertising, the harmony of the prepared advertisement with society and, in particular, the topics and content of the viral ads have also been affected. In this study, the analysis of the campaign of the "Ice Bucket Challenge" advertisement is included. This ad, an example of a viral ad, has been analyzed in the context of technological, corporate/brand, supporting factors, statistical success, using celebrities and opinion leaders, and its impact on education. In particular, information, awareness and awareness formation appear as essential features that attract attention within the scope of the study.

Luis Antonio Andrade Rosas and Perla Lomelí
- Abstract
When workers hear about a possible promotion, it is common for them to get training, and they can do so through education. However, there is the possibility that the worker needs to receive a salary according to the knowledge acquired in such training. In this study, considering a population of employed workers with incomplete secondary school, we apply game theory concepts to explore whether workers can train through study. If so, the model shows the percentage of the salary the worker is willing to invest in his education. Furthermore, the cost of studying implicitly involves an opportunity cost, deduced quantitatively in the model. In conclusion, our article defines specific thresholds to decide if the worker should study, the economic investment, and the time he would spend on it, depending on how strict the company is in auditing. The analysis does not define a Nash equilibrium since the company's reaction is not considered.

The development of conversational artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about new opportunities for improving the learning experience in education. ChatGPT, a large language model trained on a vast corpus of text, has the potential to revolutionize education by enhancing learning through personalized and interactive conversations. This paper explores the benefits of integrating ChatGPT in education in Thailand. The research strategy employed in this study was qualitative, utilizing in-depth interviews with eight key informants who were selected using purposive sampling. The collected data was analyzed using content analysis and the software NVivo. The study's results indicated that ChatGPT can provide personalized learning experiences by adapting to individual student needs and preferences. Its ability to understand natural language and context can also facilitate more meaningful interactions between students and the system. Additionally, ChatGPT can assist with administrative tasks such as grading and feedback, allowing educators to focus on more personalized and meaningful interactions with students. Furthermore, ChatGPT can serve as a valuable tool for remote learning, providing students with the ability to access educational resources and support outside of traditional classroom settings. The paper also discusses potential ethical considerations in utilizing AI in education, such as data privacy and bias. Overall, this paper argues that the integration of ChatGPT in education has the potential to enhance the learning experience for students by providing personalized, interactive, and efficient support.

Vladimir Gu?u
- Abstract
In adult learning and education the need is defined as the discrepancy between the current stage of development of professional competences, as well as those of general culture, and the desired (possible to be achieved) stage. The need reflects the existence of a problem that requires intervention, a problem that needs to be dealt with, but also a motivational drive for lifelong learning. As a rule, the learning and education needs of adults are determined from the perspective of the appearance of some changes, the dynamics of developing the areas of adults' interest. In the given study we will try to establish the learning and education needs of adults from the perspective of internal and external factors: a) pandemics, conflicts and violence, polarization and division of society, economic inequality, misinformation and propaganda; b) psychological, social and andragogic. The focus is on the systemic analysis of the learning and education needs of adults, which is followed by several further processes: data collection using methods and tools; identifying priorities and establishing mechanisms for solving problems; needs satisfaction actions; establishing needs assessment criteria and tools. Identifying the learning and education needs of adults is a two-dimensional process: assessment of needs by service providers and assessment/self-assessment of needs by adult learners. Each of the above-mentioned factors generates different needs for learning and formal, non-formal or informal education of adults, including on the professional, social and individual dimensions. Addressing complex factors from the perspective of adult learning and education will essentially contribute to their more efficient integration into society, but will also contribute to reducing the influence of these factors by meeting the learning and education needs of adults.

26. The Importance of Education for Democracy
- Author

Ferit Baça
- Abstract
A democratic government, whose power belongs to the people, serves all its citizens equally and protects their natural rights. Its highest priority is to treat and serve its citizens properly and fulfill their interests. In democratic regimes, conflicts and other social issues can be resolved through dialogue, compromise, and consensus between the government and people of a given country to have a better future. In a democratic society, civic education plays an important role in shaping people's values and behaviors, and it cannot be achieved without a stable and developed economy. However, the interest of the human society in education dates back to the dawn of civilization in ancient Greece, when Plato spoke about the importance of education in the development of the state. And, based on his initiative, he wrote at the entrance of the Academy, "Do not go inside unless you are a geometer." Plato's concept of geometry is used to understand a man with a high cultural and scientific level. Thus, the European Enlightenment based on Platonic concepts of education gave it the role and place it deserves among all the professions that develop and civilize people. In ancient Greece, education was not valued as a luxury for a small number of people in the society, but as a right of all citizens. However, in order to achieve the practical goals of education, human society needs to regard it as the most important tool for its development. Therefore, this paper discusses the significance of education in the development of society by enriching it with modern philosophical concepts. The following issues will be addressed: The philosophical essence of education, Education for democracy as a social requirement, The importance of intercultural and multicultural education.

- Abstract
The Education drives the Future of Humanity. The Wishes and Visions of Humankind have to drive the Education. What is the final goal of Education? To bring up a healthy, emotionally mature, wise, knowledgable nourisher of life, who understands and feels the reality, based on ethics, humanism and compassion, as essential characteristics of a human being, and who is ready to act according to these values. How to achieve that goal? Due to the inevitable development of technology it is necessary to develop a new paradigm of the future principles of educational systems. There are two possible approaches: The Naturo-Humanistic and the Technological, driven by Machine Intelligence, the greatest temporary achievement. In the Technological sense, things are happening at an unbelievable speed, and the human being as an individual, and their collective, has no time to adjust to those changes. There are no clear visions of human society development, despite the informational connectedness and globalisation. In the Naturo-Humanistic sense, it has to be very clear whom we are educating, what we like to achieve with the education, and what is the framework, i.e. the educational environment (social, economical etc.). Due to unconscious, unconscientious and harmful behaviour of people towards the Nature, the ecological consciousness of the interconnectedness of all and everything in the Earth's ecosystem is what has to be thought to children from earliest age. Education must strive towards Wisdom, as knowledge is the knowledge of information, and Wisdom is the know-how of applying knowledge to any problem solving. Knowledge wants to be "used", but only Wisdom is aware of possible future consequences of the application of knowledge. [For the full proceedings, see ED654100.]

Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research and McDonald, Kerry
- Abstract
JEM Learning is a new microschool community that provides families with a child-centered alternative to both traditional public and private schools. Microschools like JEM Learning are small, multi-age learning communities with paid educators that are reminiscent of the one-room schoolhouse model. They were gaining traction prior to 2020, but their popularity has soared amidst the education disruption of the past few years. In Massachusetts, numerous microschool collaboratives have sprouted, offering more individualized learning options and paving a pathway for a more bottom-up, decentralized education model. This policy brief urges Massachusetts policymakers to encourage the proliferation and progress of non-traditional models that offer families creative, flexible, personalized and low-cost private education options.

Alena Höfrová, Venera Balidemaj, and Mark A. Small
- Abstract
Generation Alpha are the first to grow up immersed in digital technology and presumed to be wired differently than previous generations. This systematic review synthesizes the research literature on what has been learned so far and broadly answers the following question: What is happening in the education and training of Generation Alpha? The literature review was conducted based on guidelines outlined by The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Titles of 2,093 studies, abstracts of 603 studies, and 335 full-text studies were evaluated for inclusion criteria. A total of 83 studies were included into the literature review. The studies were sorted into four major categories: (1) the role of teachers, (2) the role of new approaches to education, (3) the role of teaching tools, and (4) the role of blended/online learning. Despite frequent use of the term "Generation Alpha" in the research literature, relatively few studies report generational differences that reveal how children of this generation are characteristically different from previous generations. There is simply a strong assumption that Generation Alpha is different. A major concern is that the use of technology by Generation Alpha has decreased opportunities for social-emotional development and increased mental health problems. There are digital educational tools and online strategies being developed and tested but none have emerged to be dominant.

31. Surprisingly Low Results from Studies on Cognitive Ability in Developing Countries: Are the Results Credible?

Heiner Rindermann
- Abstract
Developing countries achieve surprisingly weak results in international cognitive competence studies. The results are about one to two standard deviations below the average norm-values obtained in Western countries. The results are so low that they are sometimes difficult to believe. For example, in the World Bank collection, Nigeria scored 262 student assessment points (SASQ, about two and a half standard deviations below the norm 500, equivalent in the IQ-scale to 64 points); in the Lim et al. collection, Yemen scored 336 SASQ (equivalent to IQ 75). These results have triggered opposition, factual-scientific criticism, but also ethical debates and political-ideological objections. We crosscheck the values here by comparing different sources of information, statistical analysis, and on-site reports. Results of the different test paradigms seem to be similar for country groups. However, there are sometimes major differences for individual countries. The same is true for comparing different test collections: results of grouped countries are similar, but single countries differ. Using education, GDP per capita and politics to predict test scores shows somewhat higher results for the Global South (5 IQ points), especially for Latin America (rising from 78 to 86 points in an IQ metric). Finally, observational studies of schools and every day life in several countries of the Global South point to problems in the scope and quality of instruction as well as of thinking. To improve outcomes and competences, it is recommended to expand education (e.g., kindergarten, extension of schooling) and better train teachers. Where there are large discrepancies between predictions and test results, the potential seems to be large.

Department of Education (ED), Office of Educational Technology
- Abstract
In spring 2022, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology (OET) committed to advancing digital equity through the Digital Equity Education Roundtables (DEER) Initiative. Through DEER, OET hosted a series of national conversations with leaders from community-based organizations, as well as families and learners furthest from digital opportunities. The "Advancing Digital Equity All" resource illuminates insights from these conversation to highlight the barriers faced by learner communities and promising solutions for increasing access to technology for learning. The historic federal investments authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act offer critical opportunities for broadband planning that can identify and equitably address the various availability, affordability, and adoption challenges described. Using this guidance resource as a starting point, it is essential that leaders collaborate with those most impacted by the digital divide to develop comprehensive digital equity plans that outline strategies to meet the needs of learners, their families/caregivers, and communities effectively and sustainably.

- Abstract
Education, science, and technology disciplines are closely and extensively connected in all formats and levels. The outbreak of COVID-19 has further squeezed this interconnection where the delivery of education in different scientific fields of studies at all education levels is almost impossible without the presence of technology. Today, there is a need more than ever to explore the intersection of education, science, and technology at both administrative and classroom levels. Educational leaders and policymakers should be aware of the requirements (e.g., role of culture, educational governance) for effective teaching and learning in the post-COVID-19 era. Teachers, instructors, and researchers need to be proficient in the way to convey knowledge with effective and innovative adoption of technology (e.g., online peer feedback) to the young generation as they are called "digital natives". This book focuses on addressing and exploring these needs and recommends solutions from multiple perspectives. The book is divided into three sections related to studies on education, science, and technology. While each of the fist two sections includes five chapters, the last section involves four chapters. The chapters' contributors are from the following countries: Albania, Australia, Azad Kashmir, Ghana, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Philippines, Singapore, the Netherlands, the USA, Tunisia, and Turkey. The diversity of the chapters from 14 different countries brings an international perspective to the book. [For the 2021 edition, see ED617831.]

- Abstract
Poverty & Race Research Action Council's (PRRAC's) March 2021 policy brief, "Mixed income neighborhoods and integrated schools: Linking HUD's Choice Neighborhoods Initiative with the Department of Education's Magnet Schools Assistance Program" (ED611507), highlighted an important opportunity for interagency collaboration, encouraging an explicit connection between HUD's Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) and the Department of Education's Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP). As the authors advocated with both agencies, if funding connecting MSAP and public housing redevelopment were incentivized by both HUD and the Department of Education, applicants could create plans for their communities that include a vision for safe, accessible housing, as well as neighborhoods and schools with diversity of race and income. The purpose of this update is to determine: (1) whether HUD and the Department of Education incorporated any of these recommendations to encourage the connection of MSAP and CNI or other public housing redevelopment projects; and (2) whether applicants responded to such encouragement.

Avcu, Yunus Emre and Yaman, Yavuz
- Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the efficiency of the differentiated instructional design for value education of gifted. This research was based according to the embedded experimental design of a mixed research method. The study group consisted of 25 gifted students (13 girls, 12 boys) at the 6th-grade level. Digital differentiation strategy was employed in instructional design. Students were asked to reflect their learning about Turkish talented people on cartoons containing both visual and auditory elements. The activities in the differentiated instructional design were applied to the students online for 8 weeks, 2 hours per week. Quantitative data were collected with the Target Behaviour Development Scale (Kanger, 2007). Quantitative data were analyzed with a dependent samples t-test. The Cohen d effect size was also calculated. In the qualitative part of this research, the views of gifted students, their products, the observations of researchers were evaluated. Qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. As a result of the research, the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the target behavior development levels of the gifted students regarding values was found to be statistically significant. This difference was in favor of the post-test and the effect size was high (d=1.047, p<0.05). In other words, the differentiated instructional design for value education increased the values development of gifted students. Gifted students expressed their views on the differentiated instructional design the most frequently with the words "fun, instructive, and the values". The students were successful in writing cartoon scripts, turning the scripts into a cartoon, and indicated that they had some technical difficulties. Students were happy both to learn of the values and to produce technology-supported products. Comparative studies can be done by establishing experimental and control groups for different grade-level gifted students.

Konstantinou, Charalambos and Konstantinou, Ioannis
- Abstract
The main issue of this article is "education" as a meaning "process" and as the requested point (desideratum) in accordance with its role in educational and social reality. More specifically, by illustrating the aspects of this relation, we seek to give prominence to the role of education at an ethical and practical level, concerning not only citizens' social behavior but educational institutions and wider society, as well. It is our primary intention to highlight education's relationship with social learning and its effect on students' social behavior, within the family and school environment. At his point, the practices that the child becomes familiar with within the family, school, and social environment in general and which eventually, play a decisive role in the development of personality and more specific in a person's behavior, will be discussed. In addition, specific samples of young individuals' and adults' social behavior, which reveal the deficiency of "education" and at the same time concerning prevailing culture and its causes, will be determined. The article is concluded with the final observations, findings, and pedagogical suggestions.

Pesta, Bryan J.
- Abstract
At the level of the 50 U.S. states, an interconnected nexus of well-being variables exists. These variables strongly correlate with estimates of state IQ in interesting ways. However, the state IQ estimates are now more than 16 years old, and the state well-being estimates are over 12 years old. Updated state IQ and well-being estimates are therefore needed. Thus, I first created new state IQ estimates by analyzing scores from both the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competency (for adults), and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (for fourth and eighth grade children) exams. I also created new global well-being scores by analyzing state variables from the following four well-being subdomains: crime, income, health, and education. When validating the nexus, several interesting correlations existed among the variables. For example, state IQ most strongly predicted FICO credit scores, alcohol consumption (directly), income inequality, and state temperature. Interestingly, state IQ derived here also correlated 0.58 with state IQ estimates from over 100 years ago. Global well-being likewise correlated with many old and new variables in the nexus, including a correlation of 0.80 with IQ. In sum, at the level of the U.S. state, a nexus of important, strongly correlated variables exists. These variables comprise well-being, and state IQ is a central node in this network.

Afacan, Ersin and Afacan, Meltem Isik
- Abstract
What is life? Life is the process between birth and death. This process, which is also accepted as the state of being alive, contains many parts. These parts are called life. Life encompasses one's experiences of the conditions that one encounters. These lives are interrelated. The longer and more harmonious these relationships are, the higher and more balanced the person's quality of life will be. For this, education and learning methods with scientific and philosophical foundations should be used. One of the parts of life in life is sports. Therefore, in this study, the subjects of morality, right, mistake, education, professionalism, health, mentality and economy in life will be associated with sports. Because sports is a human right that emerged from basic needs, it is associated with many areas of life. For this reason, some concepts that express our lives and the conditions we live in will be tried to be associated with sports. In this descriptive study, document analysis was carried out. The collected data were blended from sources in different fields such as education, sociology, psychology, education and philosophy. It is thought that this study, which is one of the rare studies on the subject, will be an example for similar studies to be done in the future.

Richardson, Robin
- Abstract
This article recalls the key concept of due regard in the Equality Act 2010 and outlines how it was increasingly ignored by the Department for Education (DfE) in England in the following decade. Further, it speculates that if the concept of due regard had been observed more rigorously across all government departments, the COVID-19 pandemic would have been less tragic and traumatising in its effects, and less responsible for deepening inequalities throughout British society. It concludes that the Act should be revisited, revised and re-emphasised.

Hawkins-Pokabla, Julia, Brzuz, Amy, and Prier, David
- Abstract
Minimal research exists investigating the effect short-term international allied health internships have on subsequent higher-level internships. In occupational therapy, these internships are called fieldwork. Researchers completed a retrospective data analysis of the Level II Fieldwork evaluation scores of 274 occupational therapy students attending a Master of Science program. Final Level II Fieldwork performance evaluation scores were compared between one group of 212 students who completed a domestic Level I Fieldwork and 62 students who completed a faculty-led international Level I Fieldwork. An independent t-test comparing all areas of Level II Fieldwork performance revealed that students who attended an international Level I experience scored statistically higher in the Fieldwork II evaluation sections of basic tenets and intervention skills on their second Level II Fieldwork. The corresponding p-value for the basic tenets section was 0.020. Similarly, the average score for intervention skills was significantly higher in the international cohort with a p-value of 0.012. Results show statistical significance in two of the seven evaluation sections for students who completed a faculty-led international Level I Fieldwork supporting the active learning pedagogy that was applied during Level I Fieldwork. Findings provide evidence to support the hypothesis that international fieldwork experiences have a positive effect on student outcomes. Study results can be considered across professional disciplines.

- Abstract
Education, science, and technology disciplines at all levels have never been more important, more exciting, or more crucial for its broader impacts on human society. The need for advanced technical skills is increasingly pressing to address climate change, combat COVID and other diseases, enhance the infrastructural built environment, grow food sources to feed an expanding planetary population, make new scientific discoveries, and interface synergistically with the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Teachers/instructors/mentors/professors need to be proficient in the best ways to convey knowledge and motivate the next generations of productive and engaged citizens of an increasingly diverse planet on which its human inhabitants must learn to confront and surmount increasingly difficult challenges to survival and prosperity. Students need to be focused on honing their learning skills and adapting to an ever-evolving global economy demanding always higher levels of technical proficiency. Students also need to be free to pursue any and all areas of interest without interference from cultural, political, ideological, or faith-imposed limitations. Policymakers need to provide the financial and human resources to fuel the engine of education, and they must create the maximum possible latitude for both those who teach and those who learn to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to their limits. This book contributes to addressing these needs and to suggesting potential solutions from multiple global perspectives. Adaptability of instructional methods, relevance of instructional content to students' lived experiences, and sensitivity to the mental and physical demands imposed on students must be hallmarks of education. The book is divided into three sections related to studies on education, science, and technology. Each section includes three chapters. The chapter's contributors are from the following countries: the United States, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Malaysia. This diversity brings an international perspective to the book.

- Abstract
This study aimed to develop a web-based Pedagogia Dictionary application, which is a special dictionary in the field of education and learning. This research was conducted using the D & D (Design and Development) approach or development research that produces a product. This study adopted the stages of the Ellis & Levy (2010) development model consisting of: a) identification of the problem; b) explain the purpose; c) design and develop artifacts; d) testing artifacts; e) evaluating test results; and f) communicating test results. The information system modeling used a system through diagrams consisting of flowcharts, data flow diagrams, and entity relationship diagrams. In this study, the questionnaire was used to collect data related to the product that had been designed. The web based Pedagogia Dictionary application is expected to improve the quality of learning at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. In further development studies, the Pedagogia Dictionary application can be developed using mobile-based web technology. The findings have implications for the availability of a web-based dictionary as a reference source on the concept content in the fields of education and learning. The development of this application is in accordance with the development of the water fall model system. The usability testing results are a series of product trial results showing that there are several recommendations from respondents. So it can be concluded that the product is good to be an information search system in the form of a pedagogical dictionary dictionary.

- Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed severe challenges to health systems and economies around the world. While Australia has fared better than many countries in limiting collective and individual hardship, the impact of personal losses and lockdowns, along with a drastically changed global environment, has had a toll on young Australians especially. As with all economic downturns, young people have been particularly exposed to unemployment, lost earnings and reduced opportunities for education and social wellbeing. Using data from the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY), this report examines the lived experiences of Australians aged about 20 years in 2020, during the peak and aftermath of the second wave of infections. Notwithstanding the variations between states and territories, which are likely to be obscured by reporting on Australia-wide trends, the LSAY data for 2020 are well positioned to capture the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Australian youth (also noting that, at the time of writing, the pandemic is ongoing and additional waves of infections occurred in Australia during 2021 and 2022). This report summarises the key events, relevant policy announcements and the extant literature on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people in Australia. The various sub-sections have been organised according to the topic areas covered by the LSAY questionnaire, the data for which are explored in the sections that follow.
