The article presents the results of a study of students' perceptions of the online courses' quality in response to the changes accompanying the COVID-19pandemic and the need to make the transition from face-to-face to distance learning in higher education. This article aims to survey the pedagogy students’ perceptions– these future pre-school and primary school teachers towards the quality of online courses “Didactics of human – society and human – nature”, “Inclusive education” and “Ecological education” during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey was conducted with 107 future teachers at Veliko Tarnovo University “St. St. Cyril and Methodius” – Vratsa Branch in June after the completion of the online courses in the summer semester during the academic year 2020/2021. The data collection tool is a structured questionnaire developed by A. Young and C. Norgard with closed ended items used in this survey in an adapted version and provided to respondents via an access link. In general, the results of the survey show that students have positive perceptions about the quality of online courses. However, they need to be encouraged to be active participants in each of the online courses, including by engaging in online discussions, other proactive interactions as well as performing a variety of assessment tasks, recognizing the importance of goals. Regardless of the outcome of the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts towards the quality of online courses and the corresponding perceptions of students will therefore continue to be the focus, as changes in the learning environment become more sustainable and the future of higher education should adapt to these changes.

Reflective thinking paradigm contains a set of trainings based on the pattern of mental tools and it helps its users to be able to present the educational materials in a framework that embraces the nature of thinking, various learning activities and the learning based on reflective, creative and critical forms of thinking. Reviewing of the related literature shows that most of the challenges are due to learning and learning-related factors. Accordingly, the present study examines the thinking level of senior postgraduate engineering students of Shahre-Rey University. For this purpose, the Reflective Thinking Questionnaire (RTQ)developed by Kember et al. (2000) was used. TOPSIS method was used to evaluate the thinking level of the subjects. The results showed that habitual action, which is one of the skills of reflective thinking, is ranked first and perception is ranked last, which means that the senior postgraduate engineering students learn superficially. It is suggested to ask professors and teachers to hold classes that train reflective thinking skills, so that they can be a good and appropriate model of using reflective thinking skills for their students. So that students can improve their thinking levels and succeed in their math problems solving and these learners have good academic progress.

Teaching military history disciplines have played a significant role in Estonian military education. Its foundations were established by Aleksei Baiov, a Russian émigré teacher and a former professor of the Russian General Staff Academy. It is also important to consider the changes proposed by Lieutenant General Nikolai Reek, an Estonian Chief of General Staff, pertaining to the teaching of military history. As a result of Reek’s activities, military history disciplines and their content were reshaped, military history assignments were established, and the relationship between military history and other branches of military science were clarified, subjecting military history to the needs of tactical training. When he was establishing the grounds of the Estonian military education system, Reek had no choice but to use Baiov and other Russian émigré teachers since there were not many ethnic Estonian specialists in this area. Despite the fact that Reek personally invited Baiov, a conflict quickly emerged between the two men. Although, in the military sphere, they had a different academic aptitude and calibre, their conflict is now part of the legacy of the Nicholas General Staff Academy. On the one hand, Baiov stood out in Estonia for his professionalism, but on the other hand, he represented the older generation of Russian military theorists. From a positive viewpoint, that generation valued systematic research and teaching of military history; from a negative viewpoint, it was hardly connected with modern warfare. It can even be said that Reek played the role of a progressive for the younger generation of Russian military theorists since he saw a fundamental need to modernise military history and its teaching. According to Reek, it should have focused more on studying and teaching modern armed conflicts since the earlier history of the art of war was merely necessary to establish a context for the knowledge. One of the progressive doings of Reek was modernising the teaching of military history through the use of active methods to engage with the audience more personally. He preferred an analysis of military history to mere factual knowledge. Still, military history continued to be taught in a lecture format until mid-1930s; students’ independent and group analysis was not highly appreciated. In addition, the teaching of military history depended on a lecturer’s ability to make the subject attractive to students.

In this study we present papers and theses of students submitted in church history, in response to teachers’ assignments at the Faculty of Theology in Kolozsvár/Cluj between 1898 and 1944. These works were closely related to the history teaching church history at the Faculty, being intended to promote independent scientific research and talent management. During the period analysed here, a total of twenty-six works in church history were completed as fulfilments of the thirty-four assigned topics. The number of works submitted and the number of topics assigned varied from period to period, but they are relevantly embedded in the framework of the institutional curriculum.

Starting from the historical realities that made possible the appearance of the Duchy of Bukovina on the map of the Habsburg Empire and considering as temporal limits the transformations caused by the new administration in 1775 and 1848, the author tries to present in this article some of the reforms generating new attitudes and mentalities in society, promoted by the Court of Vienna in the smallest province of the empire: links built over time between several cultural-creating institutions, such as school, press, literature; relations between these institutions and their beneficiaries; their importance in the emergence of national consciousness at first and, later, of aesthetic consciousness to writers who could assert themselves beyond the borders of Bukovina, in the wider Romanian space.

The Romanian and German school textbooks, especially those for primary education, edited during the Austrian and Romanian period and used in the Bukovinian schools, contain illustrations that played an important role in the learning of Romanian and German languages. By using intuitive materials, students were able to easily observe and understand the meaning of words and texts with educational-cognitive content, to acquire rich notions and vocabulary, to express what they see, feel and think through clear and correct speech, to learn through discovery and association. Observation of images of beings, animals, things, nature was aimed at developing the child’s ability to observe, think, describe and express the child, developing the students’ memory, imagination and creativity, as well as acquiring new knowledge from various fields (literature, history, geography, botany, anatomy, music, art, technique, and so on).

The paper presents the history of the development of language test- ing in the light of various, once prevailing theories about the nature, acquisition and use of language. The initial chapter is dedicated to the first, traditional or pre-scientific phase in the development of language testing, which is related to the end of the 19th century and the then dominant grammar-translation method. What follows is a presentation of the period of discrete point testing, resulting from a structuralist interpretation of language, as well as the attempt to overcome the shortcomings of this type of testing. The final chapters deal with the theory of communicative competence, which has led to an essential and final turning point in relation to traditional methods. We also paid attention to the new challenges that the language testing process faced in the conditions of a pandemic and a complete transition to online teaching, and the answers to the questions that were recognized as problematic could be given by some future research.

Various reforms were made in administrative and social areas in the Yuan Dynasty, or the Kublai Khanate, which ruled China for nearly a century. Thanks to the ethnic diversity that existed in China at the time, there was sufficient human capital to carry out scientific activities which enabled Kublai Khan to ensure the success of his reforms. Remarkable advances were thus made in the fields of education, culture, translation and science during the Kublai Khan period. Examples in this progressive period include the establishment of an observatory and two different astronomy offices run by Muslim and Chinese scientists in the capital, Khanbaliq. Kublai Khan's reforms and state-sponsored support for developments in the field of science and culture began to bear fruit in a short period of time. Therefore, this new innovative state structure of the Yuan Dynasty managed to be different from other Mongolian nations in different areas of Eurasia. From the perspective of Mongolian history, this study will throw light on the early innovations made and the scientific and cultural studies, which was done in the Yuan Dynasty during this period. In addition to this, the cultural interaction between the Iranian Mongols and the Chinese Mongols will be examined.

The article is related to the teaching of key concepts in civic communication. The aim is to propose an alternative approach for defining terms such as citizen, rights, person etc., which links the previous experience of the students with these words and their lexical definition. This approach is inspired by the ideas for applying the prototype theory and the study of metaphors in foreign language teaching. The hypothesis is that such methods can be successfully applied in the teaching of civic education, so that the training is related to practice. The article includes examples from civic education textbooks for 11th grade, which provide definitions inspired by these approaches. In addition, a comparison has been made between the linguistic intuitions of the students (shared in the generalized results of a survey) and the proposed definitions in the textbooks.

Coaches’ confidence in their own skills, their awareness of their emotions and the ability to control them, as well as their choice of behavior, according to a number of authors, influence their realization and the achieved sports results. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationships among Coaching Efficacy, Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Style of Bulgarian football coaches. The research was done not directly among 172 football coaches between 20and 56 years, with different level of qualifications (license), age group of the competitors, coaching experience, and experience as football players. In order to achieve the aim, we used: 1) Coaching Efficacy Scale (CES), (Feltz et al. 1999); 2) Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS), (Schutte et al. 1998); 3) Revised Leadership Scale for Sport (RLSS), (Zhang et al. 1997). The results reveal significant correlation interdependencies between the subscales of Coaching efficacy, Emotional Intelligence and part of the subscales of Leadership style, as well as between the subscales of Emotional intelligence and Leadership style. In this sense, our results confirm the data in the literature. There are significant differences among the coaches along all of the researched indexes. The results from the regression analysis reveal that Emotional intelligence serves as a predictor of Coaching efficacy and Leadership style. Coaching efficacy does not directly influence the subscales of Leadership style, which is different from the published data in the literature.

The Internet serves billions of users providing a variety of information resources whereby a lot of the information is presented in natural human language and needs an efficient approach to be processed. Natural language processing (NLP) refers to the ability of computers to analyze and understand the structure of human language. By utilizing NLP this linguistic knowledge is transformed into algorithms for solving specific problems. GATE is widely used, open-source software infrastructure that provides a framework and components for solving NLP tasks. The available GATE tools can be adapted to other languages and text processing tasks. This article will present an approach for converting numeric data, written as words in Bulgarian, into digit numbers. For this case, a relevant configuration file for Bulgarian has been integrated into the general tool set in the open source software for natural language processing GATE. The aim of this survey is to determine the exact numeric value of Bulgarian text numeric data, which can be used as a starting point for producing more complex annotations, such as monetary measurement units, etc.
