AbstractGiven the need to understand the current approaches to Environmental Education (EE) in the world, we answer the following questions: (i) Have the studies directed to EE received attention from the scientific community? (ii) what are the trends in EE publications? In the past years, there has been an increase in the number of publications on EE. Brazil stood out in the number of publications, reflecting the concern of Brazilian researchers to promote sustainability and biodiversity maintenance. As for the approaches, the studies are broad, ranging from the influence of policies on environmental protection to the importance of reflection at a global level, proposing international agreements. However, regarding the EE application, given the multiple existing currents, it is worth emphasizing the importance of the teaching-learning process to take place critically so that there is no favoring of the contents promoted and supported by a hegemonic class.

Resumo: O Cerrado é reconhecido como a savana mais rica do mundo em biodiversidade, assim o seu estudo no ensino se reveste de grande importância no sentido de fortalecer a formação dos alunos para conhecer e praticar a preservação ambiental deste bioma. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o processo de aprendizagem sobre o bioma cerrado pela interação dos alunos em uma aula diferenciada, utilizando os cinco sentidos (tato, olfato, paladar, audição e visão). O método fundamenta-se fato de tentar reaproximar as pessoas da natureza temporariamente, despertando para o uso dos sentidos na exploração de “trilhas sensitivas”. Os resultados demonstraram que o uso da trilha sensitiva mostrou-se satisfatório no aumento do interesse dos alunos e no desenvolvimento do aprendizado sobre o cerrado. Abstract The Brazilian’s Cerrado is recognized as the richest in biodiversity savanna in the world, with the presence of several ecosystems. Therefore, their study in education has great importance in strengthening the training of students to learn and practice environmental conservation of this biome. The objective of this study was to assess the process of learning about the cerrado by the interaction of students in a differentiated class, using the five senses (touch, smell, taste, hearing and vision). The methodology is based on the fact of trying to reconnecting people of temporary nature without the use of vision, awakening to the use of other senses in the exploration of "sensory trails." The results demonstrated that the use of sensory trail was satisfactory in increasing student interest and learning about the development of the cerrado. Key words: Environmental education. Sensory trail. Science. Teaching-learning process.

Over the past few decades, the adoption of an inclusive approach to education has stimulated a reflection on the educational value of body and movement within teaching-learning process in order to break down all barriers to learning and promote the full participation of young people to school activities. Indeed,body and movement represent an important didactic "medium" for developing individualized and personalized learning paths that take into account the specific needs and characteristics of students thus contributing to their global and harmonious development.

Due to this, some student will get good outcomes in minimum time and some will not get expected outcomes even when they were tried a lot. The examination methods have a large impact on how and when student study and what they learn. The examination should not only be used as a control that a student is qualified, but also as an educational tool to influence the learning process. Over a long period of time, students were thinking that exam would the way where we will express our knowledge. But according to some student will be not.

The future of India will be formed in the lecture hall. Whereas India has made great steps in refining the education system but much still remains to be complete. If you see the current situation then you will find that there is a torrent of advanced technology all over the world but our education system is not helping due to the absence of information and information of teachers, students, and the organization. The students have their own limitations, teachers have their owned and the organization is also confessing the fact that the education system is really in a poor form today. The aim of this paper is to skeleton how information technology can help to make an education system that is based on the ideologies of helping teachers, students, and management to be effective in what they do, improving the superiority and significance of teaching-learning process.

ICT has greatly influenced the way institutions operate in reaching and providing services to their clients. Many educational institutions have adapted their situations to meet the work demands and changing trends in education by adopting e-learning as a mechanism to reach the students who may have no time to sit in class due to their nature of work. TVET systems in Africa are slowly and steadily also starting to move towards implementing e-learning in their teaching learning process. This paper gives insight into the potential and situation of e-learning in TVET institutions in developing countries in Africa and points out major recommendations on how to improve in order to inform policy makers and other stakeholders in the TVET sector.</em></p></div>

Abstract: Education is a process to humanize human beings. Therefore, the methods employed by the teacher should provide valuable characters since students make the teacher as the central figure in the process of learning. Moreover, the world’ figures that serve valuable morals for students are currently in crisis. In this void, therefore, the field of education should be triggered by improving the quality of teacher’s performance,especially for the religious teacher. The religious teacher is highly demanded to give valuable characters in all aspects of life. Hence, the educational process is not only to transfer knowledge but also to build moral values   to students. Teacher’s modelingplays a vital role in the teaching-learning process. In accordance to this, the religious teacher also functions as a spiritual father for students who provides knowledge, moral values, and justification. In this case, the teacher requires not only to have adequate pedagogical skills, but also to be able educate students well. This is due to the fact that education is aimed not only to transfer knowledge, but also to build valuable character,that is the teacher’s ability to provide model of valuable attitude and positive values to students.

Starting from 2011, year of the publication in Italy of Alain Berthoz's book on simplexity, an articulated theoretical reflection involved part of the Italian scientific community stimulating an inter-transdisciplinary debate that has generated "non-linear" trajectories of research within the educational field. In particular, the transposition of the theory of simplexity in the teaching-learning process, by postulating an idea of teaching based on a metacognitive approach, has led to the hypothesis of a teacher training model able to promote the exercise of "non-linearity" within the didactic field through the use of simplex properties and principles. In the wake of these reflections, the work presented below describes the results of a study aimed at assessing the reliability of an instrument for measuring the construct of simplexity within the didactic field starting from a specific research experience carried out during training courses for support teachers which were held at the University of Bergamo in 2017
