Comparing the roles of secondary schools and universities in the formation of British cabinet ministers, 1922–2022

AbstractThe role played by the education system in the creation and reproduction of governing elites, and its countervailing potential to create a more meritocratic and egalitarian society, has been a topic of enduring concern. However, these debates have been rendered opaque by an inability to directly compare elite formation systems both within and between countries. To resolve this problem, we employ elite formation quantitative indices to compare the roles of the secondary school and higher education systems, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in the formation of its political elite—cabinet ministers—between 1922 and 2022. Our findings show that the universities educating cabinet ministers have been more elite and influential than the secondary schools, but not more exclusive. Additionally, while only a small number of universities and schools supplied more than one cabinet minister over the century, a very small number of universities and schools supplied a great many.

I. I. von Felbiger and the creation of the European school education system

Introduction. One of the most important conditions for the success of any type of activity is its systematic nature. This statement fully applies to such an important area of the spiritual life of society as education. The creation of the educational system in Europe is associated with the name of the outstanding teacher-reformer Johann Ignaz von Felbiger (1724-1788), who vividly proved himself as a scientist, founder of educational institutions, author of important documents and textbooks that for many decades determined the content and nature of schooling in European countries and in Russia. Materials and methods. The author uses the following research methods: analysis of historical and pedagogical literature, biographical and historical methods, an axiological scientific approach to the study of the value content in the activities of I. I. von Felbiger. The work uses publications by foreign and Russian authors. Results. The period of I. I. von Felbiger's life and his organizational activities coincided with the age of Enlightenment, which led to an increase in interest among a significant part of the population of many European countries in science and its practical use in the interests of society, as well as to the problems of educational development. I. I. von Felbiger acted as the organizer of educational institutions designed for various groups the population and the levels of training of students. He substantiated the idea of the first public school system in history and partially implemented it into practice. Over time, this system, which in some countries was called Sagan, became generally accepted in Europe. His ideas were developed in the process of creating a school education system in the Russian Empire. Discussion. Von Felbiger's activities in the field of education were multifaceted. He carried out the practical management of the educational institution, was a teacher, the general commissioner for education of the whole country, and finally, he created valuable legislative acts that received approval from the monarchs and ordinary teachers. He also authored methodological and educational manuals for teachers that corresponded to the current needs of society. Conclusion. The famous educational reformer von Felbiger left a vivid mark on the history of European science and culture. He went down in the history of pedagogy as the creator of the Sagan school system. The history of his life and work, as well as the genesis of the first education system he created in Europe, deserve further comprehensive study.

Mediating Role of Aesthetic Experience between Environmentally Aesthetic and Sustainable Development in Primary School Education System

Researchers in Guangxi Province, China, are doing research on primary school teachers to investigate the relationship between environmental aesthetics, aesthetic experiences, and sustainable development. To conducting an analysis of the data collected from 435 elementary school teachers who participated in a structured survey, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SMART PLS software was utilized. According to the conclusions of the study, there is a large and beneficial association between environmental aesthetics, aesthetic experiences, and sustainable development. Based on the findings, it is possible that enhancing environmental aesthetics could result in an increase in the number of aesthetic experiences, which could be beneficial to educational sustainable development. The research is restricted to a narrow geographic area and relies on self-reported data, both of which may restrict its capacity to be generalized. The research demonstrates that environmental aesthetics influence the educational experiences of primary teachers, notwithstanding the constraints that have been mentioned. The knowledge of this fact may have an impact on educational practices and policies pertaining to sustainability. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-SIED1-013 Full Text: PDF

IMPLEMENTASI KONSEP MUROBBI DALAM BIMBINGAN KONSELING SANTRI DI PONDOK PESANTREN DARUL AMANAH BEDONO JAMBU KABUPATEN SEMARANG

Recently, the education system has transformed with the integration of Islamic boarding schools and formal education, known as the modern Islamic boarding school education system. Each institution has its own issues, but they prioritize Quran memorization, foreign languages, leadership, management, teaching materials, parenting, local culture, and religion. This study aims to examine the Murobbi superior program at Darul Amanah Bedono Islamic Boarding School in Semarang Regency. Quoting from Abdul Rahman's essay entitled "The Concept of Murabbi in the Qur'an" Ibnu Jauzī found that the importance of knowledge lies in the disclosure of a murabbī. The author uses a qualitative descriptive method in this study to collect secondary data from journals, books, theses, and websites, along with data and researcher triangulation. The results of this research are based on the theory of counseling guidance services through murobbi, from here the word "murobbi" becomes a new term used instead of the word "caregiving". From this, the Murobbi concept from the perspective of Islamic education which is applied in the education system at the Darul Amanah Bedono Islamic Boarding School institution is very effective and efficient, because it is not only the students who receive lessons, but the Murobbi also gain new experience and knowledge regarding, 1) how to educate , 2) fostering, 3) nurturing, and 4) supervising students. The results suggest that using the Murobbi concept in counseling is beneficial due to its positive impact on guiding, caring, educating, and learning.

The Belarusian Frontier of the 1920s: Did Belarusization Take Place in the Russian-Belarusian Border Area?

The paper analyzes the historical circumstances of the 1920s, under which in three regions of the Russian-Belarusian borderland – Pskov, Smolensk and Bryansk governorates – it was necessary to reach the objectives of ‘Belarusization’: the size of the Belarusian population, the state of the school network in the NEP era and staffing for the solution of the “Belarusian question.” Belarusization is regarded as an integral part of the new Soviet national policy based on the resolutions of the 10th and 12th Congresses of the RCP. The purpose of the study is to identify and characterize the basic conditions for carrying out Belarusization in Russian regions with compact residence of the Belarusian population. First, this concerns the size of the Belarusian population in these governorates at the beginning and during the process of Belarusization, and detection of the dynamics and reasons for its significant reduction, starting from the end of the 19th century. Secondly, special attention must be paid to the problems in the school education system during the NEP era (financial, material, personnel), the solution of which was of much higher priority for local authorities in comparison with the objectives of Belarusization. The results of the study show that the policy of Belarusization in the Russian border regions failed to receive the due support either from local authorities overloaded with many other urgent tasks, or from the residents of the above mentioned governorates, including Belarusians. The practice of “self-Russification” became a kind of hidden form of protest among the Belarusian part of the population of the Russian border regions. Conclusions: The policy of Belarusization in the Russian-Belarusian border regions was not carried out in full even in the “minor format” proposed by Moscow, largely due to its artificiality and implementation without taking into account the opinions of the majority of Russian Belarusians themselves. The study is intended for specialists in national and regional politics, and in Russian and Belarusian history.

Secondary School – Higher Education Institution Continuity on the Example of Teaching Computer Science and Information Technology

The problem of continuity at different levels of education is not new for pedagogy, teaching individual disciplines, including computer science and information technology. It is impossible not to take into account that information technologies are an independent discipline, a means through which the transformation of school and university education has been taking place in recent decades. The content of informatics at school and university should to a certain extent correspond to the level of science development and the requirements of society. The variety of digital tools and the ubiquitous availability of information create huge opportunities for their creative use within their discipline, related natural science subjects, and in various other spheres of human activity. Based on a comparative analysis, the article draws conclusions about the problems faced by both domestic and foreign specialists in the field of education. The article analyzes the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and problems of the school and university education systems in Russia and abroad, and considers their relationship. It is substantiated that the lack of consistency and discreteness in the process of teaching computer science and information technology at school lead to a discrepancy between the training of school graduates and the requirements for the basic knowledge of first-year university students. The article presents the results of the analysis of basic curricula at school (in the field of computer science) and curricula in the preparation of future computer science teachers at the university (using the Transbaikal State University as an example). The authors analyze the results of diagnostic testing, which was conducted with first-year students of the Transbaikal State University in September 2023/2024, in order to monitor their existing knowledge and skills in the field of computer science. The article suggests ways to solve the problem of secondary school – higher education institution continuity in the field of computer science. The results of the study can be used in the preparation of future computer science teachers in higher educational institutions. Keywords: continuity of education, lifelong education, computer science and educational technologies, information competence, computer literacy

ANALYSIS OF THE READINESS OF A SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR THE SYSTEMATIC APPLICATION OF A HUMOROUS APPROACH

Background. Pedagogical innovations aimed at the formation of a competitive national educational system require a primary analysis of the prevailing conditions "on the ground" for further successful practical implementation. The domestic general education school system is not flexible and adaptable to modern challenges and requirements, which forces teachers and practitioners to adapt any author's concepts and developments to existing realities and significantly affects the success of widespread application. Purpose. To determine the degree of readiness of the teaching staff and secondary school students to introduce humorous means and techniques into the educational process. Methods. The main method used is the analysis of the empirical data obtained during the diagnostic stage of experimental work at MBOU Gymnasium No. 123 in Barnaul. The processing and systematization of the information revealed during the survey and concretizing conversations made it possible to analyze the prevailing conditions for the use of humor in the middle and senior levels of a general education organization. Results. The results of diagnostics of the formed readiness of the teaching and student staff in the field of application of the humorous approach are presented and interpreted. The positive attitude of school students to the use of humor in the framework of pedagogical communication is determined. Insufficient awareness of teachers about the essence of the humorous approach and the possibilities of its application has been revealed. The willingness to master new pedagogical tools and techniques to reduce the distance in the «teacher-student» relationship has been demonstrated. Practical implications. They can be used to update the educational system, introduce new approaches to learning based on the active use of pedagogical communication.

Increase of movement opportunities and education of willpower qualities of 16-17 year old school students through martial arts

The article reveals the relationship between the motor and volitional indicators of high school students, defines the methodological features of the use of martial arts in order to improve the motor capabilities and volitional manifestations of high school students in the process of physical education. It is shown that an important task of the school education system in modern realities is to maintain the optimal level of physical, mental and emotional state in crisis, dangerous and non-standard situations. A prerequisite for this is a sufficient level of motor and volitional potential of schoolchildren, which can be ensured with the help of physical exercises. among schoolchildren of all age groups, high school students have the greatest functional and psychological capabilities to act in dangerous and crisis situations. One of their ways of increasing the effect of physical exercises in school conditions is the introduction of modern and affordable sports that arouse interest and have a high applied value. It was determined that martial arts classes arouse lively interest among schoolchildren and students, especially males, and it is recommended to introduce them in the process of physical education. Despite the high traumatic nature of martial arts as contact sports, the importance of martial arts can be justified by the possibilities of a combined effect on the motor capabilities and volitional sphere of those who practice. The psychological and biological prerequisites for the formation of the content of physical education of 16-17-year-old boys with the use of rational parameters of motor loads are presented. The importance of using martial arts in physical exercise classes in high school is substantiated.

The Role of Muslim Youth in Promotion Education in Cambodia

The Muslim community in Cambodia, generally known as “Cham”, descended from refugees from the ancient Kingdom of Champa who fled central Vietnam 500 years ago. The community has faced two main dramatic periods of persecution. The first began with the end of the Champa kingdom in the 16th century and the Khmer Rouge period lives on in the collective memory of Cambodians from 1975 to 1979, up to 2 million Cambodians were killed, with many more displaced and separated from their families. This study is to describe the situational context of the Cham Muslim minority setting in Cambodia as well as specific problems in the formal education using literature review and data analysis. On the way towards universal primary education, Cambodia has made good progress over the past fifteen years. In 2014, the net enrolment rate in primary school was 98.4 per cent, the primary school completion rate was 89.9 per cent and the literacy rate of people aged 15-24 years was 91 per cent. In Islamic education, MoEYS allocated 1,500 teaching positions with civil service status to the Islamic education school system. Of those, currently, 1,391 Islamic school teachers hold that title and receive their salaries from the RGC. Recruitment of the 1,391 Islamic school teachers to become civil service teachers was done by MoEYS, in collaboration with the Highest Council for Islamic Religious Affairs in Cambodia (referred to as Mufti), which has a leadership team appointed by the RGC. The qualitative data confirms that Islamic schools are not a monolithic entity. There are a variety of ways Islamic schools are administered, offering different curricula and serving diverse Muslim communities across Cambodia

Investigate the impact of different school education systems on adolescent mental health (depression and anxiety) in Beijing.

The purpose of the study was to explore the differences in students' mental health levels across different types of schooling systems. The current Chinese education system is basically divided into two categories. Chinese traditional education and international education system. Traditional education puts more emphasis on competition and scores, while international education emphasizes a holistic and diverse educational environment. In this study, depression anxiety will be the two criteria that I used to measure students' mental health problems. I have used A convergent parallel mixed-methods and semi-structured interview to conduct both both quantitative and qualitative research. The effect of different education system are described by three dimension, Teacher-student relationship, Peer-relation, Academic pressure. Studies have shown that public school students show higher mean scores on depression and anxiety scales compared to international school students, and qualitative research suggests that this may be due to differences in the educational environments provided by the two schools and in students' perceptions of stress.

John Adams – the American Cicero? From the Genealogy of Res Publica Americana

When creating a new republic, the Foundings Fathers deemed it necessary to become well versed in the lessons of history, in order to avoid the fates of previous republics. Above all other historical corollaries, Americans evoked the example of the republican Rome that had upheld a system of government that aspired to ordered liberty as supported by a mixture of public civic virtue and effective institutional design for nearly five centuries. The comparisons were possible because the American colonies had kept the grammar school system of education then common in England, giving all educated Americans a basic grasp of Cicero’s reputation and writings, who represented eloquence, moral virtue and hostility towards tyranny. He thus became a source of inspiration for the Founders, and John Adams directly considered himself an American Cicero. In the article, the authors try to answer the question about the legitimacy of such a position of the 2nd President of the US. To do this, they compare the basic political categories of Cicero and Adams, pointing out their similarities and differences. They also examine to what extent Cicero’s thought could be applied to the reality of the young American republic.

Design Of Digital Learning Media for Optimizing Automatic Control System Learning with PLTS Power Supply on Traffic Lights at Bali Land Transportation Polytechnic

Becoming an educator is more challenging than imagined because educators must be adept at managing the classroom to ensure that learning activities are not repetitive or similar. If an educator relies on just one or two teaching methods repeatedly, it can make learning monotonous. It is important to consider a variety of teaching methods, such as group discussions, project assignments, problem-solving, simulations, or the use of diverse learning media. The education system in state vocational schools under the Ministry of Transportation implements a boarding school education system. In the boarding school education system, where students, in this case, Taruna, are involved in activities throughout the day, the learning process inside the classroom becomes less effective. Therefore, it is crucial to introduce engaging and effective learning media. The use of digital learning media is an appropriate method to address this issue. By utilizing digital learning media, it can enhance students' interest, clarify learning materials, provide variation in teaching methods, and involve students in the learning process. This research aims to design effective learning media for the SKO course by utilizing PLTS technology as a power supply for APILL in the learning process at the Land Transportation Polytechnic. In this research, the main focus is on students, the development of digital learning media, and the implementation of automatic control systems.

Study of the Direction of Schooling under the Influence of ChatGPT

As the most widely used chatting tool, ChatGPT has attracted much attention in all walks of life, and its impact on education cannot be ignored. The article describes the basic meaning and positioning of ChatGPT, and argues that although ChatGPT promotes the emergence of a new ecosystem of school education, changes in the way of school education and teaching, and the development of teacher-student relationships in schools, it also brings challenges to the teaching morality and ethics, the realization of students' individual values, and changes in the evaluation system of teachers. In the future, it is necessary to establish a school education system that is compatible with the new AI, cultivate teachers with "unique values", and set educational goals focusing on students' comprehensive literacy, in order to promote the in-depth integration and common development of school education and AI.

Enhancing the agency of senior school leaders through professional learning: a qualitative study of Into Headship, the national headteacher preparation programme in Scotland

ABSTRACT This article presents the original and significant findings of a research project which used an ecological model of agency to explore the lived experiences of aspiring headteachers (school principals), undertaking masters level professional learning through the Into Headship programme in Scotland. Headteacher recruitment and retention problems exist internationally therefore understanding factors which can enhance or impinge on the agency of potential school leaders can help ensure that educational systems foster leadership aspirations in teachers and prepare and support them adequately in senior leadership roles. A qualitative approach was adopted which involved one national cohort of Into Headship participants from three different Scottish universities who undertook their studies during the COVID-19 crisis. The findings highlight a number of key themes in terms of developing professional identity and the effect of professional learning on the agency of school leaders in relation to their ability to lead school improvements. It is concluded that Into Headship impacted positively on the agency of participants in a range of ways and that these findings will be useful to those involved in school leadership preparation and educational system level strategic planning.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ МЕТОДА ПЕРЕВЕРНУТОГОКЛАССА В СРЕДНЕЙ ШКОЛЕ

For many years, the school education system represented alecture-explanatory method of teaching and learning, where the teacher had therole of only an informer and lecturer. But with the development of our society,the goals and requirements of the education system began to change. Timerequires the inclusion in the education system of active learning methods, andinnovative pedagogical interventions to contribute to the development ofcognitive and higher-order thinking skills, and thereby protect students frompassive, unmotivated behavior. This paper analyses the impact of the implementation of a flipped teaching methodology in the school educationsystem on the motivation of students studying mathematics in high school.

This article clearly shows thatthe techniques used in the flipped classroom have a beneficial effect on students'attitudes and motivation towards the subject.

Selection of a smart and secure education school system based on the internet of things using entropy and TOPSIS approaches

ContextThe Internet of Things (IoT) is playing an important role in the development of cars, smart homes and schools. Schools are using IoT technology to enhance student learning, digitize traditional learning and improve academic performance. IoT is rapidly replacing the traditional school system with a modern, smart and safe school system. Several modern education systems are presented in the literature. Problem statementThe difficulty of choosing a smart and safe school system while evaluating the respective merits of different school systems has long been a concern for educators. MethodIn this study we proposed a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM) to address the selection Problem. To rank the different smart school systems and evaluate the value of the required parameter, two MCDM-based methods are used: Entropy and TOPSIS (Technique for Preference Ordering by Similarity to an Ideal Solution). ResultsTwelve beneficial features were considered that represent the fundamental positive characteristics required to create an intelligent education system. Ten different educational systems are considered as alternatives in order to carry out an evaluation. Entropy is used to measure the importance of each criterion and TOPSIS is used to rank the school systems. In this paper, we propose how the concepts of Entropy and TOPSIS can be used to address the challenge of selecting a safe and smart school system based on IoT. Our investigation selected the IoT-based school system that was found to be the smartest and safest out of a set of schools. Finally, we discuss the evaluation of the proposed research.
