Research on the Teaching Reform of Environmental Art Design Course under the 1+X Certificate System

The "1+X" certificate system, namely the "diploma certificate + several vocational skill level certificates" system, is an important reform task proposed in the "National Vocational Education Reform Implementation Plan". This system aims to strengthen the integration of 1+X certificate pilot and professional construction, curriculum construction, teacher team construction, etc. through the combination of academic certificates and vocational skill level certificates, in order to improve the quality of vocational education and students' employment ability.

The second generation of intellectuals in the educational modernization of the city of Santos (1908-1930)

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the city of Santos, located on the coast of São Paulo, emerged as an important urban center influenced by the ideals of progress and modernity that accompanied the recent Proclamation of the Republic in Brazil.

Comparing stakeholders’ perceptions of the implementation of ‘learner-centred’ pedagogy: the case of Rwanda

ABSTRACT A successful implementation of educational reform relies not only on teachers, but also systemic support for them, and crucial involvement of multiple stakeholders. This qualitative study explores the implementation of ‘learner-centred’ pedagogy (LCP) in Rwanda. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three stakeholder groups comprising government officials, teacher trainers and teachers from four ‘schools of excellence’ in Kigali City to understand their perceived enablers and challenges of LCP. While findings around the challenges of LCP implementation echoed the experiences of other low-resource contexts, differences were additionally identified within and/or across stakeholder groups on specific issues. The study argues that if reform visions are to be realised then policymakers need to go beyond addressing internationally known challenges; but also consider the diverse needs and perspectives of all stakeholders.

It was revealed that over the years of implementation of the administrative reform in the communities, the experience of effective management of education has been gained; a new methodical service system was created; there was an understanding of the need to discuss the issue of the quality of education with parents, teachers, and the public. After all, the issues of the quality of education remain relevant even in such a difficult period that Ukraine is currently experiencing. It was found that the education quality system is impossible without a modern, comprehensive system of assessment of both the quality of education as a whole and all its components separately. The vision of the future of education and science of Ukraine, as one of the strategic goals, defines the obligation for children to acquire quality education in accordance with the principles and approaches of the National Academy of Sciences. It was determined that the problems of assessing the quality of school education are discussed by practitioners of school management, who state that there are two directions of assessing the quality of school education. One is related to the development of quantitative analysis based on statistical observation data, external evaluation of educational achievements, the second - to the shift of priorities in evaluating the quality of school education from the process to the result. Also, in school education, there is a lack of development of an effective mechanism for measuring and evaluating the quality of elements of the educational process. The factors that, according to experts, principals, teachers and parents, have the greatest influence on the quality of education have been identified: cooperation between participants in the educational process; safe environment for children; sufficient qualification of teaching staff. It is justified that it is possible to assess the quality of education using monitoring procedures, the purpose of which is to forecast and plan the development of education; determination of the effectiveness of the use of community funds and resources; comparison of educational institutions of the same community. It was concluded that monitoring should be based on the principles of systematicity, expediency, transparency of monitoring procedures, responsible attitude to their activities of the subjects participating in the preparation and monitoring.

EDUCATIONAL PRACTITIONERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS CHANGE: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPLEMENTING THE MODEL “SCHOOL AS A LEARNING ORGANISATION” IN GENERAL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN LATVIA

In contemporary society, constant dynamic change presents a challenge that should be perceived as a determinant factor leading to progress. The aim of this study was to explore the extent to which educational practitioners in general education institutions in Latvia are prepared for change. Additionally, the study seeks to identify the main enabling factors and obstacles in implementing the “School as a Learning Organisation” (SLO) model in general education in Latvia. That was achieved through quantitative data analysis from various perspectives, such as comparing data based on the type and size of educational institutions, as well as the positions and seniority of employees. Research data were collected using a web-based survey designed and maintained through QuestionPro. The final analytic sample comprised 671 respondents from 62 general education institutions in Latvia. The research results revealed that educational practitioners in Latvia, including leading, teaching, and supporting staff from general education institutions, are open to changes, new practices, and innovations. However, there were exceptions influenced by the educational practitioners' seniority and position, institution size, and type. These factors could both positively and negatively predict employees' attitudes towards change. A positive attitude towards change among teaching staff is a crucial element for the successful implementation of educational reforms in Latvia, such as the adoption of the SLO model. To foster a positive organizational culture, school leaders must provide supportive and transformative leadership, which is crucial for employees' positive attitude towards change. Keywords: attitude towards change, influencing factors, general education, innovations in education, school as a learning organisation
