Datafication, Teachers' Dispositions and English Language Teaching in Bangladesh: A Bourdieuian Analysis

AbstractThe use of (test) performance data for governing school and teachers' work, defined as datafication, has emerged as a global trend in education. However, how this trend plays out in relation to English language education in the local context, particularly in developing societies, has not received notable attention. Taking Bangladesh secondary education as a case, and drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's conceptual resources, this study highlights how datafication unfolds in schooling contexts and examines the “relations” between this trend and English language teachers' dispositions and pedagogical practices. The study employs a qualitative case study and draws on principal and teacher interviews, and classroom observation as data sources. Findings reveal that datafication has emerged as a practical logic of the schooling field, guiding schools and teachers' dispositions in specific ways, which contribute to reductive practices. Data also indicate teachers' capacity to mediate between competing logics and innovate practices, which are situated and “local.” Based on these findings, this article argues that understanding the interplay between the specific logics of schooling, language education policy and teachers' structuring dispositions is key not only to understanding the nature of pedagogical practices, but also to establishing meaningful “relations” between policy and schooling practices amid growing datafication.

Interventions for Inclusion in TVET through Private-Public Development Partnership in Ethiopia and Zambia

The study is about reconfiguring Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) through Private-Public Development Partnership (PPDP) for the inclusion of disadvantaged groups in Ethiopia and Zambia. A PPDP is a cooperation between national and foreign actors targeted at development activities and is a governmental strategy to increase the standard of TVET, including strategies to include disadvantaged learners. This article focuses on two PPDPs, one comprising a TVET college in Ethiopia and another in Zambia. The aim is to analyse and compare the curricular strategies of these two PPDPs to revamp TVET for the inclusion of disadvantaged learners. Data was generated through document analysis, interviews and focus groups. The findings indicate that both PPDPs served as an intervention to the TVET institutions, thereby including disadvantaged learners in contexts of huge inequality of opportunities. The article points to tensions relating to inclusion, particularly about how global educational policy trends contend with the realities in local labour markets and the needs of TVET graduates who will work therein.

It synthesized 22 qualitative research studies using the meta-ethnography method to trace, assess, and synthesize the findings in order to gain a better understanding of the diversity of teacher perceptions concerning ICT integration in the classroom. The outcomes were determined by the positive and negative attitudes teachers had toward ICT integration in the classroom. The synthesis revealed that local settings and global educational trends both influence teacher perceptions. It is stated how crucial teacher professional development programs are, and contextual elements influencing teacher perceptions about ICT integration into classroom are highlighted. Recommendations for further study are explored by integrating the review’s findings.

Teachers’ beliefs about the trends of current physical education

The purpose of this study was to investigate the beliefs among professionals in the field of physical education in elementary level, more specifically in the context of Thailand. The participants were five exemplary elementary PE teachers. All participants signed informed consent prior to data collection. We used semi-structured interviews in order to gather information of participants’ beliefs. Each interview lasted approximately 45 minutes. All interviews were audio recorded and later transcribed for analysis. Data collection occurred in two ways: (a) in-depth semi-structured interviews (b) semi-structured follow-up interviews. Data were analyzed using a thematic coding procedure in order to find the significant statements that related to research questions. Results showed three themes constructed from data analysis including trends: (1) to teach foundation of basic skills that moved beyond sport oriented PE, (2) to consider physical education for Health and the integrated physical education, and (3) to perceive limited time to deliver contemporary physical education. We conclude that the beliefs about the trends in physical education has been aligned with the global trends in physical education. These cover topic areas of skill development and health issues with strong emphasis on physical education that serves the best interests of the children. Relevant stakeholders should then ensure that physical education will be delivered according to the interest of today’s children. Future research should seriously focus on this specific area of study, encompassing policy, program, and practice of physical education.

Why Knowledge Infrastructure Capability Matters for Faculty Knowledge Management Engagement in Higher Education of Pakistan?

The study's purpose is to establish the impact of Knowledge Infrastructure Capability on Individual Knowledge Management Engagement in Pakistani institutions via Degree of Knowledge Base with Incentive System, with an emphasis on the university sector which is one of the world's most booming businesses. The study's major objectives are to look into faculty knowledge engagement in universities and the practices used by Pakistani businesses to increase staff knowledge engagement. It is undeniable that the Pakistani education industry is under pressure to engage its instructors to stay competitive. Approximately 210 university faculty members provided the study's main data. After data analysis our hypotheses are get accepted. The overall conclusion of the poll suggested that Pakistani institutions might grow by involving their employees and being more aware of global educational trends. Engagement in knowledge management is certainly crucial in the workplace of a university. This research has been shown to represent all of Pakistan's universities as well as other sectors, regardless of field. In a nutshell, knowledge infrastructure's capability is determined by three factors: technology, structure, and culture. All of these factors are centered on employee knowledge management participation at work and at home, which is derived from an employee's work ethic and environment.

The art of experiencing: reflective appreciative actor training towards well-being, artistry, and personal agency

This article draws on qualitative data gathered during research workshops exploring embodied learning through the Suzuki Method of Actor Training and Linklater Voice. In it, we propose forms of resistance to neoliberal educational trends by developing actors’ well-being and artistry through a methodology of Reflective Appreciative Education. Segmentation and commodification of student skills are part of a global trend in neoliberal education. In opposition to this trend, Bryon (2014 ) advocates for integrative models of actor training. Recent Australian studies have also recommended that actor training addresses psychological well-being in order to redress actors’ significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety and perfectionism. Analysis of participant data gathered during our study revealed a shift from what Mather and Hulme (2013) describe as a ‘Performance Model’ to a ‘Mastery Model.’ Participants also began to value and focus on their experiences within the exercises and draw insight from their own experiences. In addition to developing techniques for mental health and resilience, we found this shift to bring a sense of vulnerability and personal agency to heightened performance forms. This article will describe a working process in which actors’ mental health and well-being is developed alongside their artistry through focusing on ‘being present’ and ‘experiencing.’

ARTISTIC POTENTIAL IN FORMATION OF JUNIOR SCHOOLCHILDREN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

The article highlights the urgency of the problem of forming the emotional intelligence of junior school children in the context of global trends in education in the XXI century concerning paradigmatic changes in the goals and objectives of education, shifting the focus of priority from the field of subject knowledge to socialization and personal development of students, successful self-realization in society. The emphasis is placed on the fact that the current trend of world educational practice is the evidence of overcoming the technological educational paradigm and strengthening the principles of humanistic-oriented education, recognized as a priority vector for the development of national educational policy of Ukraine. It is emphasized that the state normative documents on the reform of the Ukrainian school use the concept of “emotional intelligence” in the sense of personal, socio-emotional skills required for successful entry, adaptation and self-realization in the society. The essence and key idea of the theory of emotional intelligence are revealed, the scientific preconditions of its creation are specified. It is emphasized that the establishment of humanistic-oriented education aimed at personal development of students, in particular, formation of emotional intelligence of junior school children, requires the search for new approaches to the methodological support of this process. In particular, the unique potential of musical art as a methodological tool for the formation of emotional intelligence of junior school children in the educational process is revealed by its unique nature, functional significance and strength of influence. The main shortcomings in teaching of music in a modern school are outlined. Methodical advice on the use of the potential of musical art in the formation of emotional intelligence of junior school children is formulated.

Genesis of basic definitions in the field of physical education in the scientific and reference literature of Romania

The genesis of professional terminology is carried out. The author singled out the work of Romanian researcher L. Macedon, who emphasizes that most of the terms of the late eighteenth - nineteenth centuries. was based on the gymnastic lexicon, and the first work of Romanian authorship was a monograph by Professor D. Ionescu "Terminology of exercises for order, free and with objects and on shells." In addition, the use of terms in different interpretations was witnessed: exercises or type of physical activity (used to define exercises in fencing, horseback riding, wrestling before the official appearance of the term "sport"); exercises for the body or "usual, necessary exercises for the rebirth of people", for the sake of "physical strength". It is determined that in the same period the concept of "physical education" and "school physical education" was finally formed, which, according to G. Mochan, included gymnastics, outdoor games, excursions and walks, winter activities in the daily routine of the educational institution. It is proved that the theory and practice of physical education of Romanian schoolchildren of the studied period, its basic terminology, have undergone significant changes depending on the specific historical and social conditions that reflect the interests of society. The genesis of professional definitions was influenced by global and local trends in physical education and its militarization, growing interest in physical education, the formation of scientific justification for the essence of exercise, differentiation of individual sports and the creation of organizational forms - schools and clubs, independent sports associations.

Young people\u2019s technological images of the future: implications for science and technology education

Modern technology has had and continues to have various impacts on societies and human life in general. While technology in some ways defines the ‘digital age’ of today, discourses of ‘technological progress’ may dominate discussions of tomorrow. Conceptions of technology and futures seem to be intertwined, as technology has been predicted by experts to lead us anywhere between utopia and extinction within as little as a century. Understandably, hopes and fears regarding technology may also dominate images of the future for our current generation of young people. Meanwhile, global trends in science and technology education have increasingly emphasised goals such as agency, anticipation and active citizenship. As one’s agency is connected to one’s future perceptions, young people’s views of technological change are highly relevant to these educational goals. However, students’ images of technological futures have not yet been used to inform the development of science and technology education. We set out to address this issue by investigating 58 secondary school students’ essays describing a typical day in 2035 or 2040, focusing on technological surroundings. Qualitative content analysis showed that students’ images of the future feature technological changes ranging from improved everyday devices to large-scale technologisation. A variety of effects was attributed to technology, relating to convenience, environment, employment, privacy, general societal progress and more. Technology was discussed both in positive and negative terms, as imagined technological futures were problematised to differing extents. We conclude by discussing the potential implications of the results for the development of future-oriented science and technology education.

The Funding Models and Efficiency Discourse in Higher Education

After 30 years of transformation, the government of Kazakhstan has created own higher education system shaped by various social-economic and political factors. Nowadays the higher education system operates with stable institutions despite its challenging environment. There is no doubt that global trends in education also have an impact on the country’s policies. At the same time, the public finance system of Kazakhstan had also faced several major reforms. For instance, the term “Public Sector Audit” or “State Audit” was introduced by the new Law in 2015 which completely changed the approach of the Public Sector Institutions. The focus has become so called “efficiency” instead of “financial control”. In this regard, this paper identifies critical dimensions of effectiveness in higher education of developed countries based on technical articles and empirical research. The article reveals the features of the education funding models in OECD countries and efficiency measuring grounds of higher education.

Philosophy’ Contribution to Human Capital Development of Researchers: Current State and Prospective Agenda

The article presents the results of the study of the role of philosophy in the training of scientific personnel. It is shown that adaptation to the challenges associated with changes in the do Russian education system and global educational trends is one of the main tasks modern Russian philosophy’s facing. The participation of philosophy in the preparation of future scientists has a special place among the problems arising in that connection. The problem originates from the ambiguous relations between philosophy and, first of all, natural sciences. Although in the Soviet system of higher education philosophy was one of the leading educational disciplines, its function with respect to science was to introduce disciplinary scientists to the only true – truly scientific – worldview; in other words, it was ideological and dogmatic in nature. This reinforced the positivism’ view on philosophy that was already formed in the scientific community in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. According to this philosophy is useless or harmful for science. It has been shown that the post-soviet period has required revision of the concept of philosophy as a scientific and university discipline, which has not been fully implemented. The paper outlines the main points that may serve as the foundation for this kind of concept, namely mutual cognitive goals, philosophy's solution of cognitive tasks assumed by the existence of science, development of cognitive skills necessary for scientists, and initiation of knowledge that forms the ground for the development of non-cognitive skills within the framework of the philosophical studies. Finally, it is shown that the professional philosophical community can influence the level of philosophical education of disciplinary scientists and their perception of philosophy as part of the scientific system within the existing basic and postgraduate training courses, even in the absence of an increase in lecture and seminar courses, which is, however, also worth pursuing.

GEOGRAPHICAL EDUCATION IN UKRAINE: QUO VADIS?

The purpose of this study is based on many years of experience in secondary and higher education to analyze the main problems that arise in the teaching of geographical disciplines in Ukraine, taking into account global trends in modern education and science. The materials of this article were obtained on the basis of a combination of the results of many years of field research of Ukrainian landscapes and empirical experience of teaching geography in leading secondary and higher education institutions of Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy regions. Identifying the main problems of teaching geography for schoolchildren and students is based on general scientific systematic, systematic and model paradigms. The main theoretical methods were traditional: analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparison. Among the main problems that hinder the effective teaching of geographical disciplines, the following are highlighted: the dialectic nature of classical concepts in geography, contradictory geographical terminology, disordered and outdated toponymy, onesided coverage of the differentiation of the earth's surface on a geographical map, the incorrectness of «geographical records», coverage of regional studies in Ukraine, excessive digitization of the educational process etc. The novelty of the study is that a comprehensive analysis of the main problems that arise in the teaching of geography in high school and in higher education. The practical value of the obtained results is that the ideas presented by the authors can be useful for representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and stakeholdersof educational programs to optimize the geographical education of Ukraine.

Теоретичні аспекти особливостей впливу батька й матері на формування особистості дошкільника

The article describes the theoretical aspects of the parents’ influence on the formation of the preschooler’s personality. It is noted that modernization and adaptation to nowadays realities of preschool education curriculum in Ukraine requires the introduction of clear methodological principles, which take into account current global and European trends in preschool education and, at the same time, are based on national heritage and Ukrainian culture. The research uses general scientific research methods i.e. theoretical analysis of psychological and pedagogical scientific literature, analysis of legislative documents and generalization of data, and specific scientific methods such as natural, open observations. It is theoretically grounded the importance of cooperation between the preschool institutions and preschoolers’ parents for the development of their physical, mental and moral health, their self-identification and self-awareness, for the development of their practical and soft skills, ethical orientations and emotional receptivity. The overall development of the child’s personality depends on the cooperation of the family and preschool teachers in the process of child’s socialization in preschool institutions. It is noted, that parental authority depends on the unity of both parents’ demands on the child and on the ability to successfully use their parental authority. Parental authority mirrors the attitude of preschoolers to their families in the future perspective, because they will project the same attitude on their children. It is generalized that family upbringing is manifested in constant actions and influence of mothers and fathers to achieve the proper education of their children. Raising a child should be an organized and purposeful process, consciously guided by the interaction of family members and teachers in preschool educational institutions, where socially necessary tasks of children and youth education are implemented. Keywords: childʼs personality, preschool education, upbringing, parents, psychological qualities.

A Critical Analysis of the Impact of Research in Education: A Systematic Review

Background: Many studies have demonstrated the impact of research in many spheres of life. With the scientific knowledge on the rise, we postulated that impact of research is evident in different scientific fields, which includes education. It is not easy to provide a scholarly definition of the term impact of research as it lacks a standard definition and has various applications. Its uses ranges measuring specific measures to measuring different phenomena. However, impact of research is a demonstrable contribution outside academia. It is a benefit that society gets because of research activities and one way of archiving this benefit can be through the addition of value and improvement of the quality of life as a consequence of research. From the education perspective, the meaning of the impact of research may include the development of skills, knowledge, values, and cultural norms of a people. It is equally alluded to the ability to transform the art of teaching, which might lead to useful lessons that explain the curriculum to the benefit of the students. The impact of research can also mean the ability to influence the modification of educational policies to align them with the global educational trends. This critical systematic review addresses the gap in knowledge about the impact of research in basic education. It further provides a broader understanding of how the research impact affects teaching approaches, education policy, and how it influences education management. Method: the authors carried out a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles about the impact of research. Results: it has been demonstrated from the reviewed literature that research has an impact on the teaching approaches, education policy, and education management. Keywords: research, impact, output, evidenced-based, teaching-approaches Paper type: A systematic literature review

The Economic Impact of Globalized Education in Nepal

The global trends in higher education highlight the growing popularity of international education shift towards innovation and better productivity that demand updated and high-quality human resources. And on the supply side, it creates pressure on families to send their children to educational institutions not only within the country but also abroad. In the context of Nepal, the trend of opening higher education institutions and students going abroad for study accelerated after 1990. Students enrolled in the country and abroad are establishing networks to work through the exchange of ideas and products in the global market. In this paper, I present the primary findings from my research on the economic impact of globalization on education in Nepal by using the supply side human resource data of student enrollment in higher education in the country and Nepali students abroad, and its impact on trade, migration, foreign direct investment and remittance to the national economy of Nepal. For this study, 20 years of secondary data of above mentioned variables have been analyzed with the help of the econometric method of causal relations. Results show a positive impact of globalization on the economy of Nepal. The findings will be useful for making policy recommendations to developing countries like Nepal to enhance education by grasping the opportunities globalization offers.

Computational thinking for teachers: Development of a localised E-learning system

Malaysia has introduced computational thinking skills as part of a curriculum integration update to meet the global trends in 21st-century education, focusing on empowering digital literacy. Nevertheless, a preliminary investigation revealed an apparent lack of understanding of computational thinking skills in general among teachers. The study explores the feasibility of developing a localized E-learning system to train computational thinking skills among teachers. An E-learning system, termed as myCTGWBL, was developed on the basis of a newly proposed conceptual framework to present computational thinking teaching–learning repertoire to the teachers. The hypothesis is that myCTGWBL would develop teachers' computational thinking and its position in teaching–learning understanding. myCTGWBL relevance was tested through DeLone and McLean's information system and Urbach's collaboration quality construct. To determine the success factors, partial least squares structural equation modeling was used. A total of 369 teachers participated in a two-stage survey. Participants' understanding of computational thinking and perceptions were recorded at the pre- and post-intervention phases. Open-ended questions of the surveys were analyzed using a simple text analysis technique. The closed-ended questions surveys were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 22.0. A significant improvement in teachers' computational thinking teaching–learning repertoire in a relatively short period has been recorded. Teachers also demonstrated increased confidence in the future delivering computational thinking-based lessons. The E-learning conceptual framework has illustrated the predictive power between user intent, user satisfaction, and Computational thinking (CT) knowledge benefits. Results demonstrate that myCTGWBL could be used to guide future planning when establishing CT knowledge acquisition initiatives, particularly among teachers.

THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER OF THE CONSTRUCTION INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN FORMATION OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY OF STUDENTS

Formulation of the problem. The relevance of the study of the role of teachers of technical institutions of higher education in the formation of academic integrity of students is determined by: global trends in education, which are aimed at raising the standards of academic culture; National Strategy for Education Development in Ukraine; a new educational paradigm, which is based on the introduction of personality-oriented and competency-based approaches to learning, as well as compliance by all participants in the educational process of the principles of academic and scientific integrity. The purpose of the article is to analyze the level of development of professional and pedagogical competence of teachers of modern institutions of higher technical education and determine the role of research and teaching staff in shaping the academic integrity of students to improve the pedagogical process in higher technical school of Ukraine. Conclusion. The principles of academic integrity should become the daily norm of corporate culture of the modern academic community. Despite the fact that higher education in Ukraine has many problems with integrity, as it has only recently embarked on the path of building a virtuous educational environment, it is the principled position of teaching staff can help successfully introduce the norms of academic and scientific integrity in everyday practice including at Prydniprovska State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture.
