Evaluating didactic strategies for teaching mathematics: A Policy–Driven approach to gender equity in Panama’s education system

This article evaluates the Didactic Strategies for Teaching Mathematics (DSTM) program, designed to enhance the teaching of mathematical content in primary and secondary education in a hybrid modality. In alignment with SENACYT’s Gender-STEM-2040 Policy, which emphasizes gender equality as a foundational principle of education, this study aims to assess whether initial teacher training aligns with this policy through the use of mathematical strategies promoting gender equality. A descriptive-correlational approach was applied to a sample of 64 educators, selected based on their responses during the training, with the goal of improving teaching and data collection methodologies. Findings indicate that, although most teachers actively engage in training, an androcentric approach persists, with sexist language and a curriculum that renders girls invisible, hindering the fulfillment of the National Gender Equality Policy in Science, Technology, and Innovation of Panama (Gender-STEM Policy 2040). Additionally, through a serendipitous finding, a significant gap in student activity levels, especially in secondary school, was discovered. While in primary school, activity levels were similar between genders, a decline in active participation among girls in secondary school was observed. This discovery, not initially contemplated in the study’s objectives, provides valuable insights into gender differences in active participation, particularly in higher educational stages. The serendipity suggests the need for further exploration of social, environmental, and family factors that may influence this decrease in girls’ active participation. The article concludes with a preliminary diagnosis and a call to deepen gender equality training and the effective implementation of coeducation in Panama’s educational system.

Research of opportunities for the ecosystem approach to career planning by students at the State University of Management

The article presents the results of studying the possibilities of an ecosystem approach to career planning by students at the State University of Management (hereinafter referred to as SUM). At first, the gap between the level of practical training of graduates of Russian universities and the requirements of employers has been actualised. Then, the need for joint efforts of all interested labour market participants to create conditions for students’ conscious planning of career growth at all stages of education is emphasised. The experience of intra-university cooperation using the STC (student team consulting) method between the marketing department and practical training department in 2022–2023 has showed that solving this problem involves integrating, on an ecosystem basis, activities for the study of professional academic disciplines, project-based learning, practical training, and employment. As an experiment, 6 student consulting teams have solved a set of interrelated tasks, including the creation and ongoing maintenance of the Career Centre page in the VK social network, advertising campaigns and interviews at “Career Day in Transport and Logistics”, surveys on the employment of graduates and assessment of student satisfaction with practical training, analytical review of the labour market in Russia in 2020–2023 with a report at the All-Russian scientific and practical conference, examination of 5 ideas for marketing research projects in the field of career planning by students of the SUM with testing in social networks and assessments of the influence of actors in its ecosystem. In conclusion, based on the results of the research, the directions for the ecosystem approach to career planning by students at the SUM are formulated.

Implementation Methods of Social Emotional Learning: A Systematic Review

As adolescent mental health issues have received more and more attention in society, how to effectively implement social emotional learning (SEL) has become the focus of domestic and foreign educational researchers. Through a systematic literature review, this study summarizes the 6 research papers on SEL implementation methods from 2015 to 2024, and analyzes the characteristics, effects, challenges and deficiencies of previous studies. The results show that the implementation methods of social emotional learning can be mainly divided into three categories: independent courses, integration into daily teaching and whole-school methods, covering aspects such as emotion management, social skills training and responsible decision-making. However, existing research has certain deficiencies in the effectiveness of implementation methods, applicability at various educational stages, and long-term effect tracking. It is hoped that through the analysis of this article, it will provide valuable reference and reference for educational researchers in optimizing SEL implementation methods.

Impact of Augmented Reality-Based Learning on Preparing Children for Creative Reading Skills in Childhood Education Stage

This study investigated the impact of augmented reality (AR)-based learning on developing creative reading skills in early childhood education. Using validated instruments, including an AR-based learning guide, and a creative reading skills test, the study involved 254 primary school children from northern Jordan. The sample of the study was divided into an experimental group of 127 children who engaged with AR technology, and a control group of 127 children who received traditional teaching. Findings indicated that the experimental group scored significantly higher on the creative reading skills test than the control group. Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA confirmed these differences as significant, underscoring the effectiveness of AR-based learning in improving creative reading skills. These results suggest that AR technology holds potential to develop learning outcomes in early childhood settings. Based on these findings, it is recommended to integrate AR technology into early childhood curricula to better support children’s creative reading abilities. As an engaging and interactive tool, AR can nurture creative thinking and cognitive skills that go beyond traditional teaching. Additionally, AR transforms learning into a stimulating, multidimensional experience that enhances children’s motivation to engage actively in the educational process. By creating virtual environments with interactive elements, AR aligns learning closely with real-world contexts, promoting innovative approaches to reading skill development. Further research should explore AR applications in other early childhood education areas, and expand AR-based educational tools, with an emphasis on adapting content to local cultural contexts to achieve effective, impactful results in children’s skills development.

Development of digital literacy model for college students in Minzu colleges and universities in Southwest China

Constructing a digital literacy model for college students in Minzu Colleges and Universities in Southwest China is crucial for advancing the implementation of the "Action Plan for Improving National Digital Literacy and Skills" and effectively conducting digital literacy education. By researching digital literacy models from abroad and employing bibliometric methods, an initial conceptual framework for the digital literacy model for college students was developed. A mixed-methods research approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research, was used. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to test the validity and reliability of the initial model, which was then refined based on CFA results and expert feedback. In-depth interviews with experts were conducted to further optimize the model. The resulting digital literacy model for college students in Minzu Colleges and Universities in Southwest China not only holds significant implications for digital literacy education in this region but also provides a reference for constructing digital literacy models for other educational stages and in different regions. This model-building approach can serve as a valuable reference for similar research and practice.

Educational robotics for science and mathematics teaching: Analysis of pre-service teachers' perceptions and self-confidence

Educational Robotics has had an important impact in recent years as it offers a number of advantages for students. The inclusion of robotics in any educational stage requires teachers with adequate predisposition and training, making it necessary to know the opinions of pre-service teachers. The aim of our study is to analyze the perceptions and self-confidence of 109 pre-service primary education teachers before and after an intervention based on educational robotics and challenge-based learning to teach scientific and mathematical content, in their third academic year. A quasi-experimental design was used involving pretest and posttest, using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon U tests. The results showed a significant improvement in the overall mean self-confidence. In addition, the intervention led to a more positive perception of the benefits and possibilities of robotics for teaching of scientific and mathematical content, although it also increased the difficulties of implementation due to the lack of training in this digital resource. It is concluded that interventions are required based on educational robotics that allow pre-service teachers to gain the necessary self-confidence and perception to facilitate its introduction for the teaching of scientific and mathematical content.

Professional and personal development of newly-qualified teachers as a factor in sustainable development of the region

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of newly-qualified teachers’ professional development. The aim of the study is to identify the difficulties of novice teachers during their adaptation in educational settings of the region and to substantiate the ways to improve the quality of initial teacher education in the system of continuous teacher education. Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of the study consists of contextual biographical and cluster approaches. The contextual biographical approach involves studying teachers’ professional biographies in the system of continuing education, taking into account complex external conditions. The cluster approach defines the principles of interaction between various stakeholders within the regional community in order to ensure the sustainable development of the regional educational system. In order to achieve the research goal, the following methods were used: theoretical (analysis of scholarly literature, comparison, generalization) and empirical (online questionnaire, focus group method, method of independent expert assessments). Results. Based on the analysis of scholarly literature, the authors provide their definition of professional and personal teachers’ development as a basic component of their professional development during the period of initial teacher education and at the initial stage of professional development. The authors argued that the main difficulty of novice teachers during the adaptation period is their interaction with various subjects of the educational process at school - students and their parents. The article substantiates the necessity of creating a regional educational cluster as an effective mechanism for improving the quality of initial teacher education at different stages of continuous teacher education. Conclusions. Based on the authors’ idea about professional and personal development of teachers as a basic component of their professional development in the initial period of their working life, the study reveals the main difficulties of novice teachers during their adaptation in educational settings of the region, overcoming of which requires changes in the system of psychological, teacher and methods education at universities and colleges. As an effective mechanism for improving the quality of teacher education, the authors substantiated the idea of creating a pedagogical scientific and educational cluster in the region, which unites the participants of the territorial educational community interested in providing the regional education system with highly qualified teaching staff.

Education: A Personal Perspective and Reflections

As Charlotte Brontë wrote about her studying life in Brussels in a novel called The Professor, much of what she wrote there happens to many students, and the reasons vary and may be multiple. The origin of these reasons may be social, behavioral, religious, political, ideological, etc., and these factors are undeniable. Here, I will review some of the things that happened to me based on the reality that I lived as a student in various educational stages.

Belongingness:The Keystone of Student Development in Evolving Educational Environments

Based on the literature review and analysis of survey responses from Babson College students’ changing sense of belongingness before, after, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study investigates the influence of belongingness on students in educational environments. The findings reveal that, despite the barriers posed by remote learning, there are effective approaches to mitigate these impacts, such as shorter lectures, facilitated discussions, and maintaining a strong online presence. Moreover, the personal narratives from students during this unprecedented time offer perspectives on the varying degrees of belongingness experienced across different educational stages and modalities. This research underscores the nature of belongingness and its critical role in fostering an inclusive, supportive academic environment, highlighting the need for innovative teaching strategies to preserve student engagement and belonging. In the end, this paper calls for further research into pedagogical practices that can enhance a sense of belonging in both physical and virtual classrooms, which is always evolving.

The influence of educational transitions on loneliness and mental health from emerging adults’ perspectives

ABSTRACT Educational transitions can influence loneliness and increase mental health issues for young people transitioning between educational stages. The aim was to explore the link between educational transitions and emerging adults’ loneliness and mental health and how they perceive they can alleviate and/or improve these issues. Semi-structured qualitative interviews with a total of 12 emerging adults, 10 females and two males aged 18–29 (mean age, 22.91) were conducted. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Emerging adults’ loneliness and mental health across educational transitions could be influenced by changes to their sense of security, for example concurrent transitions, increased academic demands, changed social network, insufficient attachment, lack of community, or changed physical environment. Transitions can be associated with positive expectations and self-development but also worry, emotional turmoil, loneliness, and mental health issues. A better transition experience can be enabled by increasing resources and activities and promoting a secure environment.

These competencies require compliance with orthoepic-ortho¬graphic norms, along with other norms in the communication process. Therefore, starting from the first stages of education, the need for the formation of students' orthoepic-spelling skills is emphasized. The article examines the possibilities of a grade 1 textbook from the point of view of the problem, and also offers specific types of work to help primary school teachers in this area.

A (contra)reforma do ensino médio e o capitalismo histórico

The Brazilian high school, the last stage of basic education, is at an emblematic moment in its history. The law 13.415/2017 puts structural changes in this stage of education, such as changes in workload and inclusion of new curricular components, in line with a new national curriculum, the Common National Curricular Base. We seek to contribute to the understanding of the situation of the curricular component of Sociology (representing the Social Sciences) in this significant movement, specifying the case of the State of São Paulo, given that the component has a history of instability in school education, minimized with its inclusion as compulsory throughout the country in 2008. This contribution focuses on the relationships between the historical moment of changes in secondary education and the ruptures and continuities of the capitalist productive system, using the Systemic Cycles of Accumulation as a tool for analysis. The configuration of Sociology will be approached from the category of powerful knowledge, and how this knowledge is compromised in the current changes.

Financial education and responsible consumption in undergraduate management students

In recent years, many countries have implemented policies to promote Financial Education (FE) among citizens as a mechanism for boosting economic development and social prosperity. Since 2008, Spain has had a national FE strategy that primarily promotes basic FE among students in compulsory education. This study analyzes first-year university students’ perception of the FE acquired in earlier educational stages and its practical application in their personal lives through the acquisition of responsible consumption habits. A survey is carried out in which students are asked how certain basic financial attributes (savings, investment, budgeting, expenses, income and quality of life), translate into everyday life, and their relationship is analyzed with their perception of the importance of FE, and certain values such as honesty, responsibility and solidarity, by applying a PLS-SEM methodology. The results allow us to extract proposals for improving public policies on FE in university studies and in earlier stages.

Legal Terminology: The Meaning of Unification and the Relationship Between the Concept of Harmonization

The scientific article is devoted to the author's discussion of regulatory terminology: the meaning of unification and interrelation of the concepts of "harmonization" in a scientific context. The article also substantiates the need to unify scientific approaches to defining the concepts of harmonization, unification and standardization. The conclusion is made about the key importance of these processes in the context of the integration of the national legal system and international legal norms. The features of the processes of harmonization and unification at the stages of legal education and law enforcement are determined. Currently, there is no unified terminological apparatus in the field of improving terminology in general, including regulatory and legal ones. In the scientific literature, various terms are used to denote terms, including those related to the need to streamline regulatory legal acts, such as: unification, standardization, harmonization, etc.
