Contemporary society is actively engaged into technology innovations due to their multi-purposeful usage for personal, professional and educational reasons. Many new terms defining information communication technologies appear but the paper focuses on the interactive media, which may be considered as an integral part of the phenomenon. It is aimed to analyze and discuss the possibilities of integration of interactive media into language learning process to support the efficiency of the study process taking into consideration the needs and achievements of students. The lectures organized with traditional teaching material are getting old-fashioned gradually; therefore, new trends appear in the education process and technologies have to be successfully integrated by the teachers working in higher education institutions. Currently life pace is extremely fast, and rapid changes influence the life of young people who want to be well-educated and prepared for the further professional career. The research was organized to investigate whether the students of higher education institution demonstrate willingness to integrate interactive media into language learning process, i.e. students do not have to be passive users but actively apply and use interactive media in the learning process. Consequently, the teachers have to be familiar with the opportunities provided by the interactive media and acknowledge the necessity of its integration, but still some considerations and uncertainty exist. The methods used for the research are as follows: analysis of the scientific literature sources, content analysis, and questionnaires. Findings of the research are formulated after analysis of the collected data and they revealed the capabilities of the students to use interactive media and perception of the importance and usefulness of such measures.Majority of teachers demonstrate conservative attitude towards innovations and implementation of modern teaching/learning methods, but the situation will be improved putting the efforts in order to seek positive learning outcomes and modernize the study process.

We analyse the importance of meaningful learning and the use of a formative assessment strategy, promoted by peer learning methods centred on the students, in a curricular unit (CU) pertaining to a degree in Exact Sciences, in a Higher Education Institution. Five students from the CU were questioned, through a focus group; the teacher was interviewed. Data of 12 hours of lessons was analysed and categorised using webQDA. We conclude that emphasising the students’ engagement in teaching, learning, and evaluation, has the power to drive the methodological teaching options to incline towards active methods that involve students in activities that foster meaningful learning. And the use of systematic formative assessments, integrated in the teaching-learning process, by using effective feedback, is most likely to make students and teachers responsible for an overall improvement in learning.

Religion assumes a conclusive role in vast parts of life, including creating inspiration and motivation in learning and constituting certain knowledge. Obviously, mathematics is a delicate subject for numerous students in any education level.

This study, utilizing library research method to exhibit relevant elements of religion, as inspiration and motivation, that can support the scholarly activities, particularly learning and developing mathematics idea in classroom. The notion of 'sacred science' from Seyyed Hossein Nasr was utilized to uncover the significant function of religion, particularly Islam, in looking for knowledge. Nasr considered that God, extraordinary preeminent entity, radiates in a profane world. Based on this idea, a motivation to embrace the ultimate reality and its numerical structure in nature is a type of intimacy to God. This writing demonstrates that religion still has its relevance in everyday scholastic exercises, including mathematics education. The teaching-learning process of mathematics will be increasingly meaningful for students by embeddings religion values as inspiration and motivation and considering its activities as a worship to .

Learner centred education through appropriate methodologies facilitates effective learning as teaching-learning modalities of higher education are considered to be relevant to the learner group. Curriculum delivery and pedagogy should incorporate multitude of learning experiences and innovative learning methodologies through adoption of technology. Plenty of resources external to the curriculum come into use, which offer valuable learning experiences. Augmentation of resources for teaching-learning process would enhance the quality of learning. The role of the institution is to identify and provide such experiences using these resources so as to improve their learning through the alround learning opportunities available to them. Institutional strategy to nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper among the students is to transform them into lifelong learners and innovators. Teaching-learning process should be mutually complementary where both the teacher and the taught gain as a result of the diversity of learning experiences. This paper discusses how technology adoption practices and augmentation of resources contribute to learning in a higher education institution.

This article aimed to present a review of the literature regarding the outsourcing and precarization of university professors’ work in Brazil. The practice of outsourcing in higher education had been carried out illegally in our country, however, this theme brings great political, social and educational repercussion after the approval of the bill, which authorizes outsourced work in all spheres, voted by the federal deputies in the March 22, 2017. Works over the last 10 years have been investigated in databases such as Scielo, Pepsic, LILACS. A total of 16 papers that dealt with the relationships between outsourcing and precariousness of the university professor have been selected. However, despite the scarce literature, the studies emphasized relevant aspects because they unanimously evidence that this practice promotes discouragement, demotivation, devaluation, accumulation of functions, and several factors which contribute to illness. Therefore, it is essential that this theme be carried forward in later studies which offer a better understanding of this type of contract model of teaching activities and their respective impairments in working relations and conditions, quality of life, mental health and in the teaching-learning process.

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between occupational stress and organisational commitment of employees at a higher education institution. A random sample (N=30) was chosen from academic staff within the university. The study used a quantitative design. The Organisational Stress Screening Tool (ASSET) and Allen and Meyer’s Organisational Commitment Tool (OCT) were administered. The study revealed that a statistical significant relationship exists between occupational stress and organizational commitment of employees. The study also showed that academic staff overall experienced average levels of occupational stress and organisational commitment. Job characteristics and work relationship were found to be the major sources of occupation stress.
