The article deals with a topical issue of designing electronic educational resources (EER) as an interdisciplinary study in paradigms of Philosophy, Systems Engineering, and Pedagogy at the intersection of humanitarian and technical knowledge. The need for quality EERs has increased tremendously in circumstances of the pandemic. The aim of the research is to determine the general structural and procedural characteristics of EER design based on a systemic approach. Most systems design research is based on a strong Western scientific tradition. Recognizing this contribution, nevertheless, we want to present a new perspective on the problem, generalize and systematize the local experience of modern Slavic scholars on EER design. The objectives and general focus of the paper led to the choice a complex of research methods: analysis of scientific literature to study the state of the problem and clarify the conceptual apparatus of the study, system analysis to determine the characteristics of design, generalizing and systematizing scientific experience. This makes it possible to consider EER as a complex system that is separated from the environment but interacts with it, has an integral structure, which is a set of relations between the elements in their interaction and the composition of these elements with their specific functions.

THE CONTRAST OF EDUCATIONAL POVERTY BETWEEN MEDIA STRATEGIES AND PUBLIC POLICIES

Author(s): CAMILLA RUMI / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The article starts from a reflection on the social, cultural and ethical implications relating the complex relationship that minors entertain with the media system through the perspective of educational co-responsibility. This perspective becomes even more necessary following the pandemic crisis which, among its many effects, has led to an accentuation of inequalities, especially with respect to the category of minors. Hence the need for new community educational pacts capable of involving all actors responsible for the growth of minors and the enhancement of formal and informal learning places. This also through the incentive for a conscious and responsible use of the media among the new generations to encourage the development of their skills and abilities, helping to counter the relevant issue of educational poverty, also in its digital declination.

PLAGIARISM IN THE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT

Author(s): Alexandru Gabriel Negoiță,SIMONA-ELENA NEGOIȚĂ / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

Plagiarism is becoming recurrent in several fields of activity, and higher education is no exception. Plagiarism is a violation of the quality of teaching, research and university degrees. Thus, in Romanian Universities, professors-researchers are prohibited from any activity related to this institution for acts of plagiarism. The objective of this research is to analyze the knowledge of the students of the University of Bucharest regarding the digital economy of knowledge, the standards of bibliographic references and the concept of plagiarism. To do this, we interviewed 128 volunteer students enrolled in a bachelor's program in all fields at the University of Bucharest. The results show that the majority of students use technology as part of their studies, with over 87.5% reporting that they have taken courses in scientific writing methodology and academic ethics. Students know the definition of plagiarism and the risks involved when engaging in this practice. Lack of knowledge of research methodology, poor personal ethics, lack of documentation, pressure from professors to finish work quickly are among the causes of plagiarism cited. To fight against plagiarism, they suggest the purchase of anti-plagiarism software, the availability of books, the introduction of undergraduate methodology courses and information on plagiarism penalties.

ACTIVE LEARNING AND A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH STUDENTS – THE FOUNDATIONS OF FACILITATING LEARNING

Author(s): Monica Licu,SORIN PĂUN,CLAUDIU GABRIEL IONESCU / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The article’s aim is to review the main factors which contribute to an optimal teacher-student relationship using active learning. We overview how the effectiveness of a teacher is not his personality structure, but the relationship he establishes with students, as well as the pedagogical methods used. The teacher-student relationship is one of the most important factors for learning. The learning facilitator teacher, as opposed to the one who only transmits information, helps students to learn skills by themselves and to develop critical thinking by involving them in a personal process outside the course when they process texts related to the course. To counteract the progressive deterioration of students' attention, the effective teacher will introduce something original every 15 minutes. Basically, instead of a 50-minute lecture, he will introduce 3 mini-lessons of 15 minutes integrated by a pedagogical activity that changes the rhythm of the presentation. Working in a team, framing clinical contexts, theatre techniques and problem- and project-solving learning are reviewed from several studies examined. The students are as often as possible in the role of actors involved in the educational process, thus favouring active learning, which involves more than just listening and gives them the opportunity to explore their own ideas, attitudes, beliefs related to the topic studied. In conclusion, while revisiting the limits of active learning we emphasize that a relationships based on honesty, mutual respect and emotional involvement between teachers and students is essential to the effectiveness of education with clearly defining of learning objectives the success of active learning and its benefits mentioned above could be easily achieved.

MULTILINGUALISM: STUDYING FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN POSTMODERNITY

Author(s): Cristina Nicolaescu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Knowing and using two or more languages has obvious benefits - personal and social - in an increasingly globalized world. The phenomenon of multilingualism has been much studied in the last decades, due to its importance in social life. Besides the obvious and immediate advantages of multicultural communication or interaction, the research in the field of neuroscience and psychology has revealed the fact that bi- and multilingualism are fundamental factors that influence cognitive abilities. With the extension of intercultural and international dialogue, multilingualism should therefore be seen as one common phenomenon rather than an exception. This paper attempts to give prominence to the positive effects of multilingualism for higher awareness.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: A CASE STUDY INDONESIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Author(s): YUNIDAR NUR,Muhammad Yunus,ULINSA ULINSA / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

One of the most controversial issues in applied linguistics concerns the role of conscious and unconscious processes in second language acquisition. Some scholars believe learners must consciously understand the language system to develop and apply the proper forms. Behaviourists, who want to exclude consciousness from psychological explanation, argue against consciousness' significance in behaviour and learning. The debates between both adherents of conscious and unconscious processes in second language learning still linger. The English language is one of the most commonly used language all over the world. Learning English gives students access to more information and research. English is interlinked with most third-world countries' social, economic, and educational development. However, the English language is a second language in Indonesia. A substantial amount of research has examined the influence of characteristics including age, gender, and cognitive aptitude on second language learning. However, psychological factors should also be given equal importance. Thus, this research exposes the psychological factors involved in learning as a second language in the Indonesian educational system. This research shows the influence of sociocultural variables on second language acquisition. This work will review the Neuro-Linguistic Programming skills, strategies, and techniques to overcome mental difficulties with learning English as a second language in Indonesia.

Author(s): Daniela-Felicia Roman / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

“The concern for increasing the number of women in military missions is intense and meaningful. We have talked about the importance of the presence of women in the army and it has been demonstrated by numerous articles and research. In my research I wanted to analyze the pool of women's recruitment in the military field. Isn't there a connection between the way women are educated and the desire to join the Army? How are they taught to socialize? Does the education system offer them the same values and training as boys? In the textbook analysis process we used both quantitative data (frequency of images with girls / women; number of images with girls / women, boys / men and mixed from the total images) as well as qualitative data (content and context aspects).”

EDUCATION IN ROMANIA, BETWEEN POLITICS AND POLITICIES

Author(s): Gabriela Pohoață,MIHAELA MOCANU / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

"Education is everything you see and hear" said Nicolae Iorga. We regard education as a strategic development factor since an economy cannot be competitive unless its workforce is well-trained. On the other hand, education is what differentiates us as individuals, as peoples. The topic of the current research is based on the analysis of educational policies developed in Romania during the transition and posttransition period. Public policies are not identified with politics, even if they are related to the political system. The political interference in education has generated the fragmentation of the reform, legislative instability, the incoherence of educational policies. The consequences of this undesirable interference are reflected, today, in the paideutic deadlock in which the Romanian school finds itself. Starting from this reality, we appreciate that a rethinking of educational policies is required, aimed at a new axiological education, a "re-evaluation of all values" in the context of Europeanization and globalization.

Author(s): Laima Bulotaitė,Irena Žukauskaitė,Rūta Sargautytė,Dalia Bagdžiūnienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 53/2024

Student dropout is a pressing issue demanding immediate attention from most universities. It profoundly affects the psychological well-being of students, their financial status, career path, relationship with others while also raising concerns within the university about the quality of studies, study programs, academic personnel, resource reallocation or reputation management. Furthermore, dropout can impact the students’ close relatives and even society at large, which may face a shortage of skilled professionals in the future. Our study aims to uncover the relationship between the study environment and psychological factors, and university students’ dropout intentions with the potential to provide valuable insights which would enable the development of effective preventive measures and programs. 350 university students (of whom, 20% males and 80% females) participated in the study. The participants filled out a questionnaire measuring Study engagement (Schaufeli et al., 2019), Academic resilience (Martin & Marsh, 2006), Study satisfaction (Schmitt et al., 2008), Study environment characteristics (autonomy, feedback, support from teachers and students, and opportunities for development) (Bakker, 2014), Study-related stress, Intention to drop out, along with questions on sociodemographic data. The results show that study engagement is predicted by academic resilience, satisfaction with studies, and study environment factors. Study-related factors, student engagement, and stress predict the dropout intention. Moreover, it was discovered that study engagement mediates the effect of academic resilience, student satisfaction and study environment factors on dropout intention. Study-related stress has a direct positive effect on the intention to drop out. The results of the study confirmed that study environment factors (autonomy, feedback, teacher and student support, and development opportunities) together with psychological characteristics (student engagement, academic resilience, study satisfaction and study-related stress) are important predictors of students’ intention to drop out. These aspects are important to consider when developing and implementing preventive programs and measures to manage students’ dropout from universities.

The Youth Not in Education, Employment, or Training in Romania: A Structural Analysis

Author(s): Horia Mihai,Ana Niţu / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2024

This article examines the NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) youth in Romania, employing the secondary analysis of quantitative data and focusing on the socio-economic, cultural and systemic factors contributing to this phenomenon. The analysis highlights how economic instability, poverty and limited access to education exacerbate the challenges faced by this demographic group. Gender disparities, driven by traditional roles and labour market discrimination, further limit opportunities for young women. Additionally, structural deficiencies in the labour market, such as job shortages and mismatches between skills and demand, hinder employment prospects. Cultural expectations and societal norms also play a significant role in influencing youth participation in education and employment. Young citizens of Romania, particularly women and members of the Roma community, face significant barriers to employment, with low wages, poor working conditions and inadequate investment in education and vocational training contributing to high NEET youth rates. Patriarchal norms, especially within the Roma community, further exacerbate cycles of poverty and marginalisation by limiting educational and economic opportunities.
