‘Shameful histories’ – shame and sex perceived by secondary school students in history education

A challenge for history education in Sweden involves integrating questions regarding relationships and sex education. The purpose of this article is to explore how students and teachers relate historical narratives about women’s sexuality between the past and present, with a particular focus on students’ discussion of shame. To analyse shame as something beyond the individual, we focus on the interrelationship of gender, sexuality and shame. The study builds on a poststructural understanding of gender, norms, sexuality and subjectification. The data comprise video-recorded classroom observations, focus group interviews with 16–19-year-old students, and interviews with their teachers. The findings are structured into two themes: shame as regulating women’s sexuality, and sexualised shame as a historical continuity. We conclude that it is highly challenging for a history teacher to construe a classroom environment that breaks with traditional historiography without resorting to a fragmentation of history into isolated case studies of the spectacular.

ECOLOGICAL ELECTRIC CAR USABLE IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

Growing concern of carbon dioxide emissions, greenhouse effects and rapid depletion of fossil fuels raise the necessity to produce and adopt new eco-friendly sustainable alternatives to the internal combustion engine driven vehicles. For this reason, in the last decade, electric vehicles have become in some way widespread, principally because of their negligible flue gas emissions and lesser reliance on oil. Although electric cars were introduced many years ago, agriculture electric vehicles have recently gained attention. The world of agriculture has changed, small-specialized farm utility vehicles are now used for a specific purpose, and in several cases, they have an electric engine. In our research, we focused on the design and preparation of a prototype the variable, multifunctional ecological electric loader, which would be dimensionally adapted to the needs of use in greenhouse, interior growing halls, as a result of research by students of innovative dual technical education with effective support of their teachers.

Gender equality in education: an analysis of entrepreneurial behavior in technological colleges in a developing country

ABSTRACT The article analysed the differences in the influence of entrepreneurial characteristics on entrepreneurial intention according to gender in technological higher education education in a developing country. The methodology used was quantitative, with multivariate data analysis through structural equation modelling. The sample consisted of 604 students of technological higher education from the São Paulo State Technological Colleges. The results proved that the female gender had a more intense influence on self-efficacy and persistence influence on entrepreneurial intention. The male gender had a more significant influence on the relationship between sociability and entrepreneurial intention. For technological higher education institutions to implement an effective entrepreneurial education, it is fundamental to encourage entrepreneurial characteristics differently between genders. Developing and fostering entrepreneurship among women in higher technological education requires a deeper understanding of the female entrepreneurial profile.

Determinants of Humanities and Social Sciences Students’ Intentions to Use Artificial Intelligence Applications for Academic Purposes

Recent research emphasizes the importance of Artificial Intelligence applications as supporting tools for students in higher education. Simultaneously, an intensive exchange of views has started in the public debate in the international educational community. However, for a more proper use of these applications, it is necessary to investigate the factors that explain their intention and actual use in the future. With the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model, this work analyses the factors influencing students’ use and intention to use Artificial Intelligence technology. For this purpose, a sample of 197 Greek students at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences from the University of Patras participated in a survey. The findings highlight that expected performance, habit, and enjoyment of these Artificial Intelligence applications are key determinants influencing teachers’ intentions to use them. Moreover, behavioural intention, habit, and facilitating conditions explain the usage of these Artificial Intelligence applications. This study did not reveal any moderating effects. The limitations, practical implications, and proposed directions for future research based on these results are discussed.

Optimising Educational Outcomes: Data and Process Analysis Approaches with Attention to Self-Directed Learning

The swift advancements in technology and the corresponding job market impose increasingly challenging and dynamic requirements on workers. This is a significant obstacle for higher education institutions in adequately preparing their students for contemporary expectations and equipping them to tackle future difficulties. Today's students are "digital natives", and they distinctly absorb knowledge and employ new strategies to learn compared to earlier generations. Hence, it is of utmost significance for higher education institutions to comprehend the student learning process. Learning management systems (LMS) can offer substantial assistance in this endeavor, as they facilitate comprehension of students' learning process, while log files also offer unbiased insights into individual adaptation. This study aims to investigate the learning mechanisms of Business Informatics students at Corvinus University of Budapest by analyzing Moodle's educational data. The objective of the study was to acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the learning patterns exhibited by students in higher education through the utilization of an extensive collection of log files. The central idea revolved around examining the behavioral, motivational, and interest-related dimensions of learning as indicators of self-directed learning. These were examined using two primary methodologies: data analysis and process analysis. The findings indicate that distinct learning patterns exist regarding data and learning processes. Additionally, there are variations in time management and information consumption habits. The results of this study have practical implications for identifying learning patterns and developing tailored interventions to enhance educational achievements.

Exploring the experiences of Muslim doctoral students in UK higher education: challenges, implications, and pathways to inclusivity

ABSTRACT This study provides a much needed insight into Muslim doctoral students’ perceptions of UK higher education and their experiences through their doctoral study. The research is based on interviews with fourteen Muslim doctoral students from a range of academic disciplines and provides a qualitative snapshot of the challenges faced by Muslim doctoral candidates. These challenges encompass a complex interplay of personal, economic, and social factors, including Islamophobia, overt and covert racism, and marginalisation. This, alongside a number of themes including the representation of the racialised Muslim as a doctoral student, feelings of disillusionment and fatigue, and the presence of gatekeeping practices within higher education. From this study, it has been concluded that there is an urgent need for a critical examination of the existing systems and spaces in which doctoral education operates. An essential aspect of this is recognising and understanding how anti-Muslim sentiments within the Academy can profoundly impact the experiences of doctoral education and beyond. The study advocates for enhanced Muslim visibility, better representation, and improved mentoring support within doctoral education. Additionally, the paper calls for stronger measures and punishments against higher education institutions that fail to address prejudices and neglect to provide inclusive spaces for their students.
