For this, it is necessary to use both international and Korean experience in General Education.

School education in the Republic of Korea is transforming and adapting to changes in the political, economic and social spheres. 2.

New Vision

Reforming the teacher education system has been a key government policy towards improving school education in India. While recent curriculum and governance reforms articulate a new vision of teacher education that underscores a symbiotic relationship between teacher education and school education, it fails to engage enough with the most important participant of the teacher education system—the teacher educator. Changes to curriculum and governance process in the absence of a pro-active engagement of teacher educators with the reforms can do little to influence the teacher education processes and outcomes. The work of pre-service teacher educators is complex because their responsibilities relate to both school and higher education. The distinctiveness of their work, identity and professional development has always been marginalized in educational discourse. This article analyses select educational documents to examine the construction of work and identity of higher education-based teacher educators. It proposes the development of a professional framework of practice through a collective process, which would help understand the work of teacher educators and offer various possibilities for their professional development.

Reading literacy, consisting of prose and document literacy, is an integral part of functional literacy that has become one of the key goals and success criteria of contemporary educational systems around the world. Lower level of functional literacy limits not only the opportunities of an individual, but also the development and successful functioning of the whole society. This paper analyzes the average degree of prose and document literacy of the third grade secondary school students (N=703) in Novi Sad who are nearing the end of their secondary education. Their literacy rate is therefore likely to determine their forthcoming chances related to academic education or success in the labor market. The instrument employed in this research was a questionnaire consisting of 20 extracts from a variety of texts, 10 of which were related to prose and 10 to document literacy. The analysis of the results focused on average achievements in different types of schools as well as on specific problems observed in text processing and potential solutions. The findings indicate that the level of reading literacy of an average third grade student is relatively low, which might lead to their limited professional opportunities in the future. The analysis of the results also shows that students have serious difficulties in processing prose and scientific texts, particularly if the information is not displayed explicitly. Skills that were found to be insufficiently developed involve comparing, integrating or synthesizing information.

the basic principles of Islamic boarding school education, namely; Al Muhafadhah ala al-qadim al shalih wa al akhdzu bi al jadid al ashlah. This principle has encouraged pesantren to maintain good old Islamic values without denying better changes. This paper intends to explore two sides of the coin for Pondok Persantren where one side is a distinct advantage for but can be a boomerang that hinders the progress of Islamic education based on understanding the basic elements and values of Islamic boarding schools and, then contributing thoughts in building a holistic Islamic boarding school education so that can follow the development of science without losing the obligation to maintain basic values. Holistic pesantren education can only be achieved if it is reaffirmed that the elements of the boarding school education system are not oriented towards learning religious knowledge but how kyai, teachers / ustaz and santri can learn to live in religion.

Role Of Parents

Choosing an educational system for a disabled child already at the stage of pre-school education is a difficult and stressful experience for parents, which regardless of the final decision, raises many doubts. Certain questions arise: ‘where there is a place in the education system for the child with a disability certificate?’, ‘where the child can develop best?’, but also ‘where the child simply feels happy and does not experience exclusion?’. Many things depend on the level of the child’s disability, on key choices made by parents, and on the quality of cooperation, both in the three-way parent-therapist-child relationship, but also in the two-way parent-child and therapist-child relationships. Parents more and more often make decisions about inclusive education, where a child can develop amongst non-disabled peers. This article focuses primarily on the role of parents and therapists in the process of including a disabled child in the education system, the potential of cooperation, but also the fears, difficulties and expectations accompanying both sides.
