However, education sector cannot be excluded from this debate. Since, the pandemic mostly most economies have utilized digital transformation in different aspects of life, but digital education becomes more prominent. Therefore, this empirical research focuses on digital writing specifically to English education in G-7 economies between the time frame spanning from January 2000 to April 2022. This study considers urbanization, income, renewable energy, information & communication technology, renewable energy, English education, and pandemic as the key environmental determinants. To address the challenges posed by panel data, this study utilized an advanced set of estimators such as AMG stands for Augmented Mean Group. The estimate of urbanization and income per capita is positively significant, confirming that urbanization and economic development cannot protect the green economy by minimizing environmental pollution. Likewise, the estimated coefficient of English Education and internet use is negative and significant, implying that English Education and ICT can protect the green economy by reducing emissions. Conversely, renewable energy consumption (REC) is an element that can increase economic activity and therefore decline the environmental damages to secure a green economy. Likewise, the growth in cases of Covid-19 also reduces the usage of resources like land, water, and forests and subsequently decreases carbon emissions, promoting the green economy. The results also indicate that interaction term of English Education and ICT have adverse impact on Carbon emission (CO2). The outcomes suggest that internet usage (ICT) in English Education (EE) can deal efficiently with environmental issues for the green economy; therefore, EE and ICT should be part of green policies across the international level.

Turbulence throughout teacher education: a case study of negotiating teacher identity

ABSTRACT Becoming a teacher is a tricky road paved with struggles. The purpose of this reconstructive educational case study is to exemplify the complex construction of teacher identity by following the five-year journey of one student teacher in the process of qualifying as a primary schoolteacher in Finland. With the heuristic analysis of longitudinal thematic narrative interviews in the frame of Dialogical Self Theory (DST), the key results of the study make a substantial contribution by illustrating how struggles are entrenched in various I-positions of teacher identity. According to our results, we conclude that four I-positions should be carefully supported in teacher education: I as a person, I as a foreigner, I as an academic student and I as a teacher. The role of teacher education in supporting student teachers in this respect is discussed in light of the results.

Enhancing social work education: a praxis-based teaching case study on integrating simulation through experiential learning theory

ABSTRACT This teaching case study takes the reader through a Master in Social Work (MSW) practice course in a northeast city during the 2022–2023 academic year. With the receipt of a small teaching grant, virtual simulation activities were embedded into the course using Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory and the 2022 Educational Accreditation and Policy Standards (EPAS), which assess anti-racist social work practice. Process recordings allowed for reflective practice, and multiple opportunities for debriefing and feedback were embedded throughout the semester. As the social work profession contends with a changing field education environment post-Coronavirus-19, we must find pedagogical strategies to support skill development in the classroom. This paper recommends using Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) as a blueprint for integrating simulation into the practice curriculum to prepare students for praxis.

Theoretical Evaluation and Application of Case Law Teaching in General Principles of Commercial Law

The General Principles of Commercial Law is a general summary and abstraction of the normative system of commercial law, which is of great guiding significance for the rules of adjudication of disputes in commercial practice in reality, and the lack of general commercial law norms makes the research and teaching of the General Theory of Commercial Law particularly important. The study of general commercial law is undoubtedly of more fundamental significance than the study of specific areas of commercial law. With the development of social economy, commercial law embodies more and more technical and practical, and the cultivation of commercial legal talents is more and more oriented to the employment demand, case study teaching has advantages in the teaching of general commercial law and should be emphasized. In the case teaching of general commercial law, the irrevocability of securities trading results can clearly reflect the style of commercial law to protect the security of transactions. The proportion and priority of case teaching in the teaching of general commercial law should be emphasized.

Learning sustainability at the Barefoot College: local and global community values in action

This article investigates learning sustainability at the Barefoot College, identifying potential replicability and relevance for other contexts.BackgroundGovernment statistics in India, suggest that some 32 million children have no access to education, especially in rural areas. Despite initiatives, 80% mainly from lower castes and deprived backgrounds, have never attended school. Operating across many villages, the ‘Barefoot College’ (BFC) is a mature non-government organisation (NGO) centred on Tilonia, in Northern Rajasthan. Here, poverty is so extreme that children can be sold into textile factories because parents cannot afford to feed them. However, skills learned at BFC such as conserving fossil fuels and water, how to vote, literacy and health practices, improve local lives immeasurably and benefit the planet. The research question (RQ) examines the key characteristics and impact of learning sustainability in this environment. The lead author was astonished by the depth and beauty of how teachings of semi-literate women, teachers and children have generated a living, breathing sustainable community.MethodThis research used an education case study methodology comprising multiple nested cases. Narratives of three key BFC project cases, the solar panel mamas, the Barefoot health and social workers and the children’s Night Schools, contextualise participant interviews that enable individual voices and experiences to emerge. Strategies aligned with a feminist standpoint approach enhance rigour and trustworthiness, systematically comparing qualitative data initiated in 2012 across semi-structured interviews, observations, and photographs. We found two key themes: dealing with on-the-ground inequality and practices of teaching and learning, together with five subthemes. These are in turn examined within a global sustainability-based framework to evaluate and characterise of BFC learning sustainability and sustainable leadership.ResultsThe research finds that learning sustainability at BFC contains novel key elements that are scalable and transferable. Meticulous joined-up-thinking underpins the BFC projects. Participants’ words confirm local and global relevance. Mapping learning sustainability in practice confirms individual self-actualisation and community agency through transformative education with impact. Individual and organisational adaptability are evidenced through individuals’ transformation into community leaders.ConclusionThe Global North has a lot to learn from the BFC, where learning sustainability is deeply embedded in belonging to the community. Bottom-up leadership through active participation and democracy empowers all community members, instilling pride in the Barefoot ethos. In this difficult environment, locally rooted projects nurture the ecological commons including rainwater harvesting and reducing fossil fuels. Projects enable traditions and clean technologies to flourish, whilst strengthening individual and community belonging and identity.

Enhancing complex bioprocess learning through simulation technology and hybrid teaching: A case study in university education.

The utilization of computer simulators in university education is progressively being embraced to offer students a practical exposure to industrial bioprocesses. Bioreactor computer simulators hold various advantages over conventional laboratory experiments, such as cost-effectiveness and enhanced safety. The research objective is to assess the effectiveness of integrating bioreactor computer simulators into hybrid teaching to promote active and collaborative learning experiences and evaluate their impact on student participation and understanding. A hybrid strategy combining synchronous, face-to-face, and online teaching has been implemented to enhance the teaching-learning processes in the Industrial Bioprocesses course for Biochemistry students. The simulation software BIOSTAT®T Yeast was used. This software models the production of ethanol with Saccharomyces cerevisiae through batch cultivation and the determination of the kLa value of a bioreactor. In the first simulation activity, students analyzed the software response based on parameter values input by the instructor, while in the second simulation activity, students autonomously used the computer simulator under the primary oversight of the instructor. The survey results indicate that the pedagogical innovation was positively received and significantly motivating for the students. Comparing student satisfaction surveys between the two simulation activities suggests that fostering student autonomy and engagement through simulation technology can improve satisfaction and learning outcomes in bioprocess education.
