Author(s): Maia Angelova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2022

The high-tech world of the 21st century places new demands on educational systems. Expectations for success in modern society are associated with the ability to find and process information, out-of-the-box thinking and creativity, the ability to independently acquire knowledge, problem-solving skills and finding solutions, teamwork and cooperation. This requires radically new educational models and necessitates changes in teaching methodology. Such a modern, innovative model of education, which changes the concept of teaching itself and introduces new ways of pedagogical guidance is project-based learning. In this publication, an exemplary version of the development of a project assignment in the conduct of project-based learning is proposed, with corresponding methodological guidelines.

Lessons Learned from Forced ERT (Emergency Remote Teaching) Caused by Covid-19: The Experience of Heads of Nursing Education Institutions

Author(s): Rachel Kemelman,Daniela Cojocaru / Language(s): English Issue: 78/2022

The aim of papers is to describe and discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the traditional approach in undergraduate nursing education in Israel. The lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced an abrupt transformation from the face-to-face educational approach to ERT (Emergency Remote Teaching) in tertiary education in general and in undergraduate nursing education in particular. The current research was part of a mixed-method doctoral study that explored the implementation of a new nursing core curriculum mirroring social change in Israel. This particular section was based on in-depth interviews of 14 heads of nursing schools and nursing departments in colleges and universities. The content data analysis was performed on in-depth interviews. The interviews were conducted between March 2019-January 2021, after the release of the draft version of the new nursing core curriculum. Half of the interviews were completed after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and so relevant to the current discussion. These interviews included additional questions about the transformation to ERT and adjustments for this made in nursing education institutions. The content analysis revealed the theme that exposed the different ways that nursing education programs in Israel were managed during the COVI-19 pandemic. Findings are presented and analyzed. The categories emerging from this theme related to different coping patterns with ERT, consequences, coping with clinical practice challenges and with online examinations and lessons learned. The paper discussed the impact and the perceived necessity of various online platforms. The findings demonstrate that Israeli nursing educators learned to overcome the main barriers to distance learning. This process was largely engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic that forced them to face and manage the situation. The lessons learned equipped them with valuable tools to adjust nursing education to 21st-century demands.

Factors Influencing the Teaching Beliefs of University Faculty Members during Covid-19 Pandemic

Author(s): Wan-Chen Hsu / Language(s): English Issue: 78/2022

Taiwanese university educators’ efficacy is traditionally associated with the belief in aligning teaching and learning outcomes. However, existing research on teacher efficacy involving modern university educators is limited. We bridge this gap by exploring university educators’ perceived efficacy and the factors that influence those perceptions. We surveyed teachers from a national university in southern Taiwan using the Teacher Efficacy Scale and interviews about the source of efficacy beliefs. We obtained 74 survey responses and descriptive statistics and analysis of variance were performed. During the interviews, four qualitative data sets were collected, and we analyzed the data using a continuous comparison analysis method. Generally, participants had medium- to high-levels of perceived efficacy; however, levels differed by gender. Efficacy scores were also higher in course design, technology usage, and classroom management, compared to instructional strategies and learning assessments. The main sources of efficacy perception included mastery experience, role models, student-teacher relationship, professional growth, and student support. Our findings suggest several strategies for follow-up research to promote university educators’ sense of efficacy.

THE USE OF CONTEMPORARY TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING LITERATURE: SHAKESPEARE ON A SMALL SCREEN

Author(s): Vesna Suljić / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2022

Due to the world health, social, economic and political crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic which started in 2020, continued into 2021 and will probably extend its effects into years to come, the educational sector has been affected in many ways – from students’ inability to attend classes in the classroom, to the sudden change of teaching methodology from traditional methods which used technology sparingly and occasionally to the new methods which require the teachers’ and students’ constant reliance on their computers, smart phones, different applications and communication platforms. Students needed to cover materials planned in the course outlines, meet learning outcomes, and on the top of that stay motivated and inspired to learn while the world around them did not know where it was going. This paper will present the delivery of the course on Shakespeare conducted in the Department of English Language and Literature at International University of Sarajevo – firstly in the classroom, then online. It will describe the teaching methods and changes to the previous course format necessitated by the move to online teaching; compare the new and previously used technology in the same course; describe the teacher’s and students’ involvement; and present the final result of the students’ project titled “The Reading Theatre”. The students’ achievements and their and the teacher’s evaluation of the course content will be outlined at the end of this paper.

Alternative Approaches to Vocational Education and Training – Part 2

Author(s): Phil Budgell / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2022

In this paper, the author continues the discussion he started in Budgell (2021): Alternative Approaches to Vocational Education and Training. A presentation of the basic ability distribution (as determined by the World Population Review (2020)) of the Bulgarian Population is followed by an analysis of the Programme for International Student Progress 2018. The author then goes on the analyse the efficiency of the Bulgarian Education System by analysing the school structure in one municipality. This is followed by an analysis of the effectiveness of the system which indicates that, even given the basic ability distribution, the pupils’ skills in reading, mathematics and science are below expectations. The data indicates that the problems with developing basic skills are concentrated in Vocational/Professional Schools. The author goes on the conclude that there should be a smaller number of larger schools (130 – 156 pupils in each grade) providing greater choice for the pupils. Furthermore, vocational training should commence in Grade 11 in larger Vocational Colleges that provide a wider range of career paths and enable pupils to postpone their career decision until they are at least 17 years old.

Author(s): Jan-Willem Noom / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2022
