<p>This paper presents, for further discussion, a review of the scientific literature produced internationally on the use of Social Network Sites (SNS) in different levels of education and settings. A total of 62 articles published in international scientific journals with peer review have been analysed. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the most recurrent lines of research since the emergence of these tools in education. The level of education in which research is carried out is also analysed, as well as the paradigms and methods used for data collection. The analysis leads to the conclusion that most of the studies analysed have been carried out in higher education, from a quantitative paradigm, focusing on the use of SNS as educational tools. This article shows that research into SNS in education is at an early stage of development, and it demonstrates the need to widen lines of research on SNS in media education to include as yet unexplored dimensions.</p><p> </p>

Resumen:En este artículo se presenta un análisis de la literatura científica publicada entre los años 2008 y 2013 a nivel nacional e internacional sobre la utilización de los sistemas de redes sociales (Social Network Sites) en educación. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue conocer cómo se estaba llevando a cabo la investigación sobre este tópico en revistas científicas editadas en inglés y en español para identificar variables como el nivel educativo en el que se desarrolla, los paradigmas epistemológicos empleados o las líneas de investigación más recurrentes. Se realizó un análisis de contenido de un total de 105 artículos difundidos en revistas científicas con revisión por pares (62 del ámbito internacional y 43 del nacional). El trabajo evidencia, entre otras cuestiones, que se trata de un tópico recurrente en la comunidad científica, que se están empleando una gran variedad de enfoques epistemológicos y que son dominantes aquellos estudios en las que se analiza el uso de estas herramientas como medios educativos. Si bien existen algunas diferencias entre los trabajos, las publicaciones nacionales siguen la misma línea identificada a nivel internacional. Abstract:This paper shows an analysis of the national and international scientific literature published on the use of social networking systems in education (Social Network Sites) between 2008 and 2013. The main objective of this work was to know how the research on this topic was being conducted in scientific journals, published in English or Spanish, in order to identify variables such as the educational level at which it is developed, the epistemological paradigms used or the most recurrent research topics. An analysis of the content from a total of 105 articles in scientific journals with peer review, was performed (62 international papers and 43 from the national context). This work evidences that it is a recurring topic in the research community, that a diversity of epistemological approaches are being used to conduct these kind of researches and those which analyzes the use of SNS as educational tools are the dominant ones. While there are some differences between the papers published in international and national journals, papers in our context are in line with those published in the international scientific community.

Hybrid exoskeletons are a recent development, combining electrically controlled actuation with functional electrical stimulation, which potentially offers great benefits for muscular rehabilitation. This chapter presents a review on the state of the art of upper-limb hybrid exoskeletons with a particular focus on stroke rehabilitation. The current needs of the stroke rehabilitation field are discussed and the ability of hybrid exoskeletons to provide a solution to some of the gaps in this field is explored. Due to the early stage of development which most hybrid exoskeletons are in, little research has yet been done in control methods used for them. In particular, more investigation is needed with regards to the potential benefit of hybrid exoskeletons as a patient-monitoring and rehabilitation assist-as-need tool.

The Status

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the developmental level of entrepreneurship education within the context of Jordanian higher education. The level of development in such education is investigated based on two areas: the educational courses and programs themselves and the formal structures within which they are embedded. Design/methodology/approach The quantitative approach is based on a survey scan of all 29 Jordanian universities, including their course plans, educational programs, departments and centers. A list of entrepreneurship centers, programs and course subjects is provided and analyzed. Findings The main findings of study are: in Jordan, entrepreneurship education is still at an early stage of development, and its offerings are limited to a few courses covering some introductory subjects in small business and entrepreneurship courses. Of the Jordanian universities, one university offers a major educational graduate program in entrepreneurship and 27.5 percent have centers for innovation and entrepreneurship, but lack any entrepreneurship departments. Entrepreneurship education is new in Jordan: the first provided course was a small business management; the first center was established in 2004 and later in 2012, it offered the first educational programs in entrepreneurship. Research implications This paper assists all stakeholders in higher education to build an understanding of the nature of entrepreneurship education in Jordan and supports the design of appropriate strategies for encouraging entrepreneurial subjects to be incorporated into the country’s universities educational programs. Originality/value The value of this study stems from its aim to provide an overview of the status of entrepreneurship education in Jordanian universities. It also makes a contribution to knowledge as the first nationwide study in this context.

The objective of this paper is to discuss results obtained from a structured survey on MScs in railway transport and logistics, which has been conducted within the RiFLE project. RiFLE stands for Rail Freight and Logistics Curriculum Development and was funded by the Erasmus (LLL) programme of the European Commission. The aim of RiFLE was to develop master courses to be delivered in English language by the participating institutions as separate but shared programmes in their universities. The approach was to analyse, enhance and adapt existing courses already offered by the participating institutions within a modern rail freight and logistics environment. Therefore, the goal of the survey was to define the state of the art of the current offer of MSc ‘railway transport and logistics’ related courses across the European and non-European countries. For the collection of data, a questionnaire has been developed. ‘SuperSurvey’ was used to approach intended respondents. SuperSurvey is a user-friendly online platform for collecting information using questionnaires. The target group included professors, lecturers and masters programmes managers in transport and logistics. Existing relevant programmes from European and other universities and institutions for higher education have been collected and analysed. Information collected helped to define a comprehensive framework of transport and logistics curricula, courses and programmes and to understand different levels of learning and structures of higher education such as single modules, bachelor courses, master courses, as well as mobility programmes and patterns. Keywords: Rail freight and logistics, higher education, innovation, survey, state of the art.

The paper hypothesizes that the quality of education in the country is decreasing, the existing education management system is not effective, and contributes to a decrease in the quality of education. To assess the hypotheses, the profitability of human capital formed in education systems according to Rosstat data on the amount of remuneration of workers with different levels of education was considered. It was found that in 2009-2013, an increase in the level of education ensured an increase in the level of remuneration - receiving a bonus for the years of study, but during this period the premium over the years of study steadily decreased. In 2015-2019, the premium for obtaining all types of education, except for higher education, was completely lost. The higher education award has dropped significantly. These phenomena indicate a drop in the quality of education. They are due to the low level of funding for education and the archaic command and control system of education management, based on the administrative and control style of management, the instruments of which are orders, binding standards and control.

The qualifications system reform in Serbia began in 2001, influenced primarily by the establishment of the European Higher Education Area, which created the preconditions for the development of a general framework for higher education qualifications. The reform of the existing qualifications system in Serbia required a response to the needs of the labor market, which was developing under new socio-economic circumstances. Since the beginning of the process, the development of a new system of qualifications has been implemented through two separate activities - the development of qualifications frameworks for secondary and higher education which remained non-harmonized. Although the development of individual qualifications frameworks for different levels of education is necessary for the development of a national qualifications framework, we argue that the separate frameworks remain incoherent to this day, that they do not precisely define the qualifications required to move from one level of education to another, when it comes to sociology as a subject, and that this situation affects the profiling of future sociologists. In this paper, we intend to problematize such an approach to the development of a general qualifications framework through the analysis of the contents of a domestic normative framework related to the general learning outcomes of teaching sociology at secondary and tertiary levels of education.

Given the fact that education represent a (sub) system of society, the digitalization of society consequently results in the digitalization of education as well. Starting from the premise that the pedagogical implications of digitalization are numerous and that there are significant differences at different levels of education, the aim of the paper is to consider the pedagogical implications of digitalization when it comes to higher education. The objective is concretized within the following tasks: (a) the importance of researching the relationship between education and society; (b) presenting the differences between digital and analogue generation with implications for education, (c) pointing out to the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation within higher education. In conclusion, it is pointed out that the digitalization of education is a controversial topic with numerous implications that are significantly conditioned by the level of education to which they relate. Also, polarization in attitudes about digitalization as an exclusively positive or negative phenomenon in the educational process represents two extremes in approaches, and the potential solution lies in finding a balance.

Methodological Rigor

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine how qualitative case research (QCR) has been conducted in the field of international entrepreneurship (IE) in terms of onto-epistemology and methodology. QCR can serve as an umbrella approach for contextualizing and capturing the complexity of IE opportunities, events, conditions and relationships, and to illuminate and enrich the understanding of related IE processes.Design/methodology/approachA thorough literature review was conducted of IE journal articles published between 1989 and mid-2017. This paper identified and analyzed 292 journal articles in terms of theoretical purpose and research design.FindingsThe findings suggest that the “positivistic” QCR is the customary convention of QCR in IE. “Exploratory” and “theory building” are the two most commonly pursued objectives. There have also been atypical practices and increased methodological rigor in recent years. Alternative paradigmatic QCRs that depart from positivistic assumptions are in an early stage of development in IE.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research examining QCR onto-epistemology and methodology approaches in IE, providing a useful state of the art that has been hitherto lacking in the literature. Based on this paper’s findings, the authors suggest that the IE field would benefit from greater methodological transparency in the reporting and writing of QCR. Also, the breadth of knowledge and legitimacy of the IE area would be enhanced through more studies involving unconventional (beyond positivistic) QCR.
