Few teachers are remembered beyond the lifetime of their students, and fewer still when their specialty is the history of education. But one exception to this rule is Dr Josep Estalella (1879–1938), whose lifelong involvement with active learning resulted in enduring contributions to teaching methodology and teaching resources. Estalella’s commitment and leadership as director of the “Institut-Escola”, the Government of Catalonia’s progressive secondary school of the 1930s, made pedagogical change possible in Catalan secondary education. One hundred years after it was originally published, Estalella’s Ciència Recreativa (Recreational Science) is still considered to be a valuable teaching resource for helping children develop intellectually through play.

The point of this study is to cover the issue of history of women’s secondary education in Katerynoslavprovince in the 2nd half of the XIX – early XX centuries. Patriarchal judgments and views on the women’srole have been characteristic of the society of the Russian Empire for centuries. It has been found out thatthe democratic reforms of the 60-70s of the XIX century marked the beginning of the changes towardswomanhood. The historical premises for the formation of the women’s education system are covered. Itis established that the creation of women’s educational institutions of all classes in terms of legislativeframework begins in the 1950’s. Women’s educational institutions were subordinate to different institutionsand had different organizational and educational backgrounds. Thus, the Ministry of Public Education hadthe most rights and opportunities in the sphere of education. In addition to state schools, there were privateand public schools. It is established that the new system of educational sector management is claimed asstate-public. The main types of general secondary schools in Katerynoslav province in the II half of theXIX – early XX centuries were gymnasiums, progymnasiums, parochial secondary school for girls. Thefeatures of the financial situation of the gymnasiums on the example of certain educational institutions arerevealed. Thus, a large number of women’s gymnasiums and progymnasiums and their popularity withthe population were directly related to the rapid economic development of the region and the vigorousactivity of local self-government bodies. The content of education of those secondary schools is defined.The popularity of gymnasiums with the population comes from their class-inclusive nature. The range ofwomen’s gymnasiums in the early XX century is distinguished on grounds of division into classes andreligion. Education for daughters of clergymen was of a limited nature compared to the gymnasiums. As aresult, women’s religious secondary education evolved less dynamically. It is established that the religiousaffairs authority opened professional secondary educational institutions – parochial secondary school forgirls – primarily for the daughters of clergymen. There was only one such school in Katerynoslav province– in the principal town of the province. The content of the education of parochial secondary school forgirls is described. The proportion of disciplines of the humanities and mathematical and natural sciences iscompared. The article states that the end of the XIX - early XX centuries was marked by the decline in thesystem of parochial secondary school for girls, and defines the content of the reforms of the religious affairsauthority. The sources of funding of Katerynoslav parochial secondary school for girls and gymnasiums arecompared.

Whatever we determine a good education to be, and a well-educated person to be, our teachers should be that and no less—not because they are teachers but because they are persons.“This is what college is supposed to be like!” That is what I thought before I was too far along in my EPS 201 course, “Social Foundations of American Education,” at the University of Illinois. I was a transfer student, and it was my first semester at the university. The professor was Paul Violas and my teaching assistant (TA) was Steve Tozer; the course was a survey of the history of education in the United States. I recall one day we had a guest lecture by Professor James Anderson, who drew material from a new book he was working on. What we learned in EPS 201 was substantial. It was, far and away, the most meaningful course in my undergraduate education. It was, also, the most significant preparation I had as a secondary school mathematics teacher.

Resumo A história da educação no Brasil é marcada pela dualidade, entre o ensino técnico para os pobres e o propedêutico para os ricos. O ensino médio técnico integrado é uma modalidade de ensino que coaduna a formação básica à técnica, rompendo a dualidade histórica registrada na educação profissional brasileira, fomentando, ao mesmo tempo, o ensino da cultura geral e da formação profissional. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar uma breve descrição e discussão das bases históricas do ensino médio técnico integrado no Brasil. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados foram de pesquisa qualitativa de natureza descritiva e explicativa. Na década de 80, houve discussões sobre a criação de um projeto de ensino médio comprometido com as classes trabalhadoras, sendo a principal proposta delineada por Demerval Saviani, com a ênfase de oportunizar a formação profissional integrada à formação geral nos seus múltiplos aspectos humanísticos e científico-tecnológicos. As bases, fundamentavam-se na concepção do ensino médio integrado, norteado pelos conceitos de politecnia, educação unitária e omnilateralidade. As discussões avançaram somente em 2003 e com o Decreto no 5.154/2004 passou a admitir a integração entre a educação profissional e o ensino médio, contudo, apenas nas modalidades concomitante e subsequente. A partir de 2008 essa modalidade de ensino avançou significativamente, com a Lei no 11.892 que criou os Institutos Federais e estabelecendo uma reserva de no mínimo 50% de suas vagas para a oferta de cursos técnicos integrados ao ensino médio. Palavras-chave: Dualidade Educacional; Educação Politécnica; Institutos Federais Abstract (Brazilian history of education was marked by duality between technical education for the poor and propaedeutic for the rich. The integrated technical high school is a education modality that coadunes the basic training to the technical, breaking the historical duality registered in Brazil, while fostering the teaching of general culture and professional training. The objective of the present research was to make a brief description and discussion of the historical base of the technical secondary education integrated in Brazil. The methodological procedures adopted were qualitative research of a descriptive and explanatory nature. In the 80s, there were discussions about the creation of a secondary education project committed to the working class, the main proposal was outlined by Demerval Saviani, with the emphasis on providing professional training integrated with general training in its multiple humanistic and scientific aspects -technological. The bases were based on the conception of integrated secondary education, guided by the concepts of polytechnics, unitary education and omnilaterality. The discussions only advanced in 2003 and with the Decree 5,154 / 2004 it started to admit the integration between vocational and secondary education, however, only in the concomitant and subsequent modalities. As of 2008 this modality of education advanced significantly, with the Law No. 11,892 created the Federal Institutes and established a reserve of at least 50% of their places for the provision of technical courses integrated with secondary education Keywords: Educational Duality; Polytechnic Education; Federal Institutes

ABSTRACT Education is the most important instrument in human life because education can increase human dignity. In addition, education can also be a benchmark for human quality and an example of the progress of a nation. The history of education in Indonesia has evolved from the colonial era to the digital era. These developments have influenced government policies in every era. In the 21st century, the development of education in Indonesia is starting to show progress. This is because it is supported by the rapid growth of information and technology. This research article aims to analyze the educational policies carried out by the government from the colonial era to the digital era to be used as evaluation material at this time so that in the future education in Indonesia is even better. To achieve this goal, this research focuses on the question of how is the transformation of education in Indonesia from the colonial era to the digital era? and what is the paradigm of education in Indonesia when viewed from a historical perspective?. The research method used is the Literature Review method from 27 sources in journal articles, websites, and data reports for 2019-2021. The results of this study found that changes in the Indonesian education system from time to time have a positive influence on the progress of the Indonesian nation. The development of education in Indonesia also has an impact on increasing the Human Development Index (HDI). This shows that the quality of Indonesian society is increasing. Based on the results obtained, it is hoped that it can provide information about the transformation of education in Indonesia from the colonial era to the digital era from a historical perspective. This article is suitable as a reference source for education observers in Indonesia to know the history of education and its policies from the colonial era to the digital era and useful for academics to know the history of education in Indonesia. This research has limitations, namely this research is only limited to the development of education in Indonesia from the colonial era to the digital era and the paradigm of education development in Indonesia from a historical perspective.

Friends African Mission (FAM) set forth an education department to train corps of African teachers- evangelists. The pioneer teacher-evangelists formed the basis of a new Luhyia elite that helped transform Luhyia society. And as education became more relevant in the emerging colonial structure, African Christians began to demand for more schools, learning in English and higher education, at a pace that neither the government nor the missionaries could match. Consequently, African Christians began thinking of establishing government and missionary supported independent schools. The case of the proposed Mbale School and the successive establishment of Chavakali day secondary school illustrate this point. The influence of the Chavakali experiment on secondary education in Kenya was deep and lasting, because it revealed what local self-help could achieve.

A study based on a survey questionnaire was conducted with 91 teachers across multiple high schools in the United States to understand their perceptions about the usefulness of using neurorobots to teach neuroscience. In this paper, neurorobot refers to a combination of robotics, active learning, and neuroscience. To situate teachers with an example of how robots can be used to teach neuroscience, we describe an educational tool called the SpikerBot. Our preliminary results indicate that there is an opportunity for neuroscience-oriented robots in secondary education, provided sufficient on-boarding and training videos.
