Pre Service Teacher

Inquiry has been the framework for guiding reform-based science instruction. All too often, the role of technology is treated tacitly without contributions to this framework. This case study examines a collection of pre-service teachers enrolling in two educational technology courses and the role these experiences play in promoting inquiry teaching. Interviews, field notes, surveys, reflective digital narratives and student-generated exhibits served as the data informing the analysis of inquiry experiences which shaped the enacted lessons of science teachers. Implications for research and practices are discussed.Keywords: teacher reflection; science education; technologyCitation: Research in Learning Technology 2014, 22: 21691 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v22.21691

Use Of Technology

In discourses of 21st century learning, there is an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary learning. In this chapter, the author first looks at previous research on interdisciplinary teaching and learning. Next, the concept of scientific literacy and how this is related to language will be discussed. The intersections between the teaching of science literacy and language teaching and learning will also be explored. This is followed by research on the use of technology in science education and how technology can enhance science literacy.

Intellectual Abilities

STEM technology is an innovative educational technology. It refers to development of the students’ intellectual abilities, to constructive and cognitive-researching activity and to technical work. There are presented basic didactic aspects, connected with the applying of the STEM technology in Science education. The emphasis is put on practical tasks with problematic character. They allow 21st century competencies to be formed, such as creativity, communication skills, teamwork and critical thinking. Organization of the educational process, educational work forms and teacher’s new pedagogical role are also presented. Educational simulations and robots are looked at as didactic means of putting the STEM technology into practice while studying Science, in particular Physics.

The Impact

This paper intends to highlight the trends in technology over several years and contrast the differences in adoption and implementation between the field of education and the rest of the world. Education has been slow to adopt new practices and continues to remain less technologically advanced than the society it aims to educate. The focus of this review is to call attention to the impact on science education using journal articles and reports in the fields of education, educational technology, and learning and behavioral sciences. By being reluctant to incorporate technology, science educators miss out on the opportunity to enhance the learning of their students using strategies such as blended learning. Blended learning can be a tool that aids in the development and strengthening of the 21st century skills needed by students to think critically, apply learning, and solve real-world problems in the classroom, in the workforce, in higher education, and most importantly, in their daily lives. Blended learning is a strategy made possible by ICT implementation. Successful implementation requires clear vision, detailed and intentional planning, training, monitoring, and adjustment. Leaders should look to the experiences of others to plan for success and avoid pitfalls. Well-planned and poorly-planned technology projects are documented in the literature that can be used as learning examples.

Obesity has become one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century with morbid obesity affecting 5% of the country's population. In Ayurveda the signs and symptoms of obesity can be co-related with Sthaulya. In Samhitas, Sthaulya is mentioned under ‘Santarpan-janya Vyadhi’ and ‘Kaphaj Nanatmaj Vikar’. As Sthaulya is not only a cosmetic concern but also has adverse effect on body and may lead to diseases like diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, osteoporosis etc it is need of time to have an effective treatment for it. Panchakarma proves to be very effective in treating Sthaulya, especially the local therapies like Udwartana are very easy and cost effective. Though a proper diet and regular exercise is a key for Obesity, it is necessary to have supportive therapies. As Sthaulya itself is a Santarpan janya Vyadhi, with the Samanya-Vishesh Siddhanta Apatarpan therapy is strongly recommended in Sthaulya.This paper highlights the role of Ruksha Udwartana with Triphala,Musta and Daruharidra Dravyas in Sthaulya.

Online Conversations

Educators in the 21st century need to be globally competent to help students understand the complexity and interdependence of global issues or forces to meet the diverse needs of students from diverse sociocultural, linguistic, and ethnic backgrounds; to effectively integrate educational technology in practices; and to foster active and responsible citizenship for both local and global communities. This chapter discusses the considerations of using critical online conversations as an authentic adult education strategy to develop educators' global perspectives and competences. Informed by the critical global citizenship education, critical online conversations can be a cost-effective approach for creating an open and safe virtual global learning community for educators. Assessing participation in critical online conversations is also discussed as an engagement and evaluation strategy.

Role Of Religion

In the article the authors note that since the 1970s, with the rise of the Islamic movement and the Islamic revolution in Iran, philosophers and political scientists started to talk about religious renaissance in many regions of the world. In addition, the point at issue is the growing role of religion in society, including European countries that have long ago gone through the process of secularization. The reasons for this phenomenon, regardless of its name, are diverse, but understandable: secular ideologies of the last century failed to explain the existing social problems and give them a rational alternative.
