Perceptions of educational stakeholders on the introduction of entrepreneurship subjects at secondary schools in Zanzibar

This study aimed at examining the perceptions of educational stakeholders on the introduction of entrepreneurship subjects at secondary schools in Zanzibar and the challenges of its integration. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Questionnaires, focus group discussions, and interviews were used in data collection. A sample of 67 respondents, 30 students, 30 teachers, 6 headteachers, and 1 educational officer was used. The study employed stratified sampling and purposive sampling techniques in selecting the sample. Purposive sampling was used to select the teachers, headteachers, and the educational officer while stratified sampling was used to sample the students. Interviews were conducted with headteachers and educational officers whereas focus group discussions and questionnaires were administered to students and teachers respectively. The data collected through the questionnaires were analyzed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20, while data collected using interviews and focus group discussion was analyzed qualitatively.
 The results were unequivocal as about 89.6% of respondents accepted the idea of the introduction of entrepreneurship subjects at secondary schools. Meanwhile, the findings showed that the integration would be faced with a myriad of challenges such as a shortage of competent entrepreneurship subject teachers, a shortage of teaching and learning materials, and the use of traditional teaching methods. The study recommended that the entrepreneurship subject can be introduced at secondary schools in Zanzibar but the use of modern teaching methods, frequent training of entrepreneurship subject teachers, and teaching entrepreneurship subject in an appropriate environment must be respected for better performance.

This method facilitates the interaction between teachers and students, thereby greatly improving the utilization rate of digital information resources. The three-dimensional teaching of dance classroom is realized. Through the platform, a wealth of characteristic dance resource information can be collected from all over the world. Through the system’s reorganization of dance information, value-added services of characteristic dance resources are realized, making the dance material novel and professional. The system has strong operability and practicability to achieve the integration of teaching design and diversification of learning applications.

Application of online learning combined with case-based discussion in oral medicine education.

During the past decades, the rapid development of modern teaching tools and methods has been observed, and the new teaching module constructed through digitization or networking has been widely used in the field of medical education. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of the online learning combined with case-based discussion (CBD) approach in oral medicine education. Sixty senior students majoring in stomatology were randomly divided into two groups. One group (new module-based teaching group [NG], n=30) watched an online teaching video and discussed clinical cases in groups. The control group (traditional lecture-based group [TG], n=30) was assigned to the traditional lecture-based teaching. Subsequently, a theory assessment was conducted on the topics taught, and the scores of both groups were compared. Feedback about this teaching model was obtained from the NG. The results showed that students in the NG had significantly better performance in terms of mastering professional knowledge than did students in the TG. Moreover, most students in the NG had a high degree of satisfaction with this new teaching method, as they agreed that it can mobilize their learning enthusiasm and promote their engagement, interaction, and cooperation in the learning of oral medicine. Our findings indicate the effectiveness and high satisfaction of CBD combined with online learning in the teaching of oral medicine. This study is expected to provide new ideas for improving the dental teaching quality.

Holistic Module Learning: A Revolution in Classroom Teaching

Since Comenius invented the classroom teaching mode centuries ago, classroom learning has experienced a succession of dramatic modifications. China’s educational progress is influenced more by traditional classroom teaching methods. Modern teaching methods place a greater emphasis on the role of students, as well as their experiences and lives. The ultimate goal of holistic module learning is to develop students’ abilities to inquire and learn on their own, which necessitates a significant shift in teaching approaches. Teachers’ primary role is to use available resources, establish optimum learning settings, and provide pupils with a variety of exploratory possibilities.

THE EDUCATION POLICY AND THE ACTIVITY OF SOCIAL ECONOMY ENTITIES

The author presents the issue of the role of the social economy entities in education policy. He points at their growing activity in policy formulation and implementation. Their role allows them to influence – directly and indirectly – both of the policy levels as well as influence the market supply in the area of various market services. They play the supplementary role in both domains, but at the same time – what seems to be critical – increase the pace at which the education system adapts to changing reality to live up to the expectations as to educate and raise the creative younger generation. Evidence of this is the structure of their activity, including the diversity of programmes they carry out, which are designed to implement modern teaching methods, support open-mindedness, proper civic culture, etc.

Research Into improved Distance Learning Using VR Technology

Practical skill-based education requires exemplary face-to-face operational teaching, and VR can enhance online distance learning, facilitating an alternative form of “face-to-face” teaching, which results in better teacher–student communication and learner self-efficacy. It also constitutes as a useful substitute for in-person teaching, and it also has a positive impact on learning effectiveness. In this study, a mixed-method approach was used, which utilized the following methodologies: a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures, document collection, case and comparative analysis, and VR teaching that utilizes “You, Calligrapher” as a survey tool. Teachers and students of art were selected, who then used an educational VR-based calligraphy game application for teaching activities. We investigated the impact of virtual time, space, and technical availability on learners’ understanding, imagination, and interactivity in VR education, and then we evaluated the positive impact via learner feedback. Research tools that we utilized consist of comprehension, imagination, and how feedback motivation scales with effective learning; we have also used Chinese calligraphy performance tests. The SPSS statistical analysis software was used for related statistical processing, and α was set to 0.05. The results of this study indicated that Chinese calligraphy studies in VR time and space affect students’ understanding and imagination but not their operational abilities. According to our research, a fundamental difference between traditional and modern teaching methods is a shift toward the use of VR (and the internet) in education. Therefore, the focus of this study is on understanding the impact on practical skills during distance learning and investing the impacts in order to form an effective approach to the use of VR in education.

Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Global Education

Human existence, since time immemorial, has been plagued with epidemics and pandemics. These significant medical terminologies are often used interchangeably. However, they have distinct meanings. Many leaders of global countries welcomed the news of the exponential impact of COVID-19 on their respective economies, and on the entire world with disbelief. However, the stir caused and socio-economic impact of the pandemic on global education cannot be underestimated. The purpose of this research was to examine the disruptive effect of COVID-19 on educational programmes and activities in countries and territories across the globe. The quantitative approach to scientific inquiry was adapted and used in the study. Specifically, the research relied on cross-sectional design. This facilitated the collection of relevant research data over a specific period. Data required for the conduct of the research were obtained predominantly from secondary sources. These included text books, peer-reviewed articles published in journals, research papers, newspaper publications; Google Search Engine including worldometers.info, africanews.com, ghanahealthservice.org, who.int, and weforum.org; and electronic databases of international bodies such as UNESCO, among other significant sources. Respective data on pre-primary through secondary levels, and tertiary level of education for 108 countries across the globe; population data for each of these 108 countries; and available data on COVID-19 during the period were used in the study. Regression models and descriptive statistics were used to describe the research variables; and to evaluate their behaviour over the stated time frame on global education. Findings from the research revealed positive and significant relationship between total learners’ population(independent variable) and total national population(dependent variable) (p = 0.006, p < 0.05). The results suggested total learners’ population accounted for about 98.97% of the variation in total national population values, implying less than 2% of the outcome could be explained by external random factors. The research revealed strategies adapted to re-open schools in five major regions across the globe. The extent of influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable suggested continuous school openings during the COVID-19 outbreak; and re-openings after school closures occasioned by COVID-19 without recourse to efficient and effective implementation of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions and protocols could trigger further spread of the virus within and across borders. The magnitude and propensity of the COVID-19 outbreak on effective planning and co-ordination of academic programmes and activities in countries and territories across the globe were underestimated at the initial stages by many leaders, nationals, and non-nationals. The estimated total learners’ population (1.63 billion) affected by COVID-19 called for adaption and implementation of immediate, medium- and long-term measures at the national, sub-regional, regional, and global levels to prevent similar occurrence in future. Further, sustained educational programmes and activities throughout a given academic year are contingent on various leaders’ ability to control internal and external factors such as pandemic outbreaks that have the potential to wreak havoc and cause disruptions. During epidemic and pandemic outbreaks, decisions on school closures must be taken early to avert uncontrollable spread. COVID-19 affirmed inevitable role of the hybrid system in effective educational service delivery in current and future periods. Africa’s share of total consumption of international Internet bandwidth; and electricity generation and supply must increase significantly to reflect the continent’s commitment to improving on existing structures to assure efficiency and effectiveness in educational service delivery. There is an urgent need for classical instructors to evolve quickly to adapt modern teaching methods and practices, so they are not left behind in the dynamic and ever-changing global teaching and learning environment.

СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ ИНТЕРНЕТ-РЕСУРСЫ И МОБИЛЬНЫЕ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЯ КАК СРЕДСТВА МОТИВАЦИИ ОБУЧАЮЩИХСЯ ПРИ ИЗУЧЕНИИ КИТАЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА

Digitalization affects all sectors of human activity, and education is not left aside. Internet technologies influence the educational process, offering more efficient and modern methods of teaching than traditional ones. The traditional model of language learning needs to be updated in the context of digitalization. It is necessary to clearly understand how to use Internet resources in language learning to achieve high results. The purpose of our study was to consider the Internet resources and mobile applications for learning Chinese, which help to increase the motivation of students, offering them a variety of modern tasks, as well as immersion in the atmosphere of foreign language communication. Among the reviewed resources we have identified the most effective one’s: applications, cards, reference books, online dictionaries. Also, all the resources are systematized according to the type of speech activity. We have conducted a survey among the students of the Faculty of Philology, studying the language as a second foreign language. The students of the 2-4th year of education have selected the most effective, in their opinion, mobile applications that they use while studying Chinese: “Pleco”, “ChineseSkill”, “Quizlet”. We note that the students’ use of Internet resources contributes to its better assimilation and facilitates the process of memorization. Thus, the study shows that the positive effect of using the currently existing modern Internet resources and mobile applications for the study of the Chinese language is manifested in the high level of motivation of students to learn the language, as well as in the successful mastery of the language material.

Commentary The STEM/STEAM education from the theory to the practice applied in the general education today

On May 4th, 2017, the Prime Minister issued Directive No. 16/CT-TTg on enhancing the capacity of approaches to the fourth industrial revolution, which emphasized the implementation of the STEM education in the general education curriculum. In addition, the new general education curriculum implemented in the orientation of integrating subjects in order to develop students’ abilities has set a requirement for teachers to have the integrated teaching competence, including the STEM/STEAM education. With a desire to learn from the theory to the practice of the STEM/STEAM teaching application in the general education over the past time, in this study, we used the qualitative research method at five middle schools and five public high schools in Ho Chi Minh City. The interviewees included 10 administrators and teachers (one vice principal of training affairs and one teacher from each school). The type of interview used in this study is the semi-structured interview. The research results show that teachers themselves still lack interdisciplinary knowledge and have not been fully equipped with modern teaching methods and the number of lessons, duration of lessons, as well as facilities are still limited, which are one of the factors that make it difficult to implement the STEM/STEAM education in schools.
