Abstract Carl F. H. Henry serves as a fruitful resource for the integration of faith and learning. The central issue in Christian scholarship is to properly associate the revelation of God with the knowledge of God’s world across all academic disciplines. The particular effort of this article is to demonstrate the clarity Henry provides as it relates to general revelation, special revelation, and knowledge explored in a comprehensive university setting. Building on Henry’s clarity, an orientation of knowledge to Jesus Christ, a proposal for the resulting vision for Christian scholarship, and habits of Christian educational institutions follows.

Social networking environments have become a ubiquitous part of the university experience. Accordingly, postsecondary institutions have started to consider the role that social networking can play in teaching and learning across academic disciplines. This case study documents findings from a 2012-2013 mixed-methods data collection in six graduate and undergraduate Digital Literacies and New Media Literacies courses at a major Canadian comprehensive university. It examines the pedagogical implications of adapting the Facebook platform for online collaboration and multimedia learning in blended courses, and offers a model of Facebook implementation for engineering and architecture education. Questions guiding the research ask: What is gained pedagogically through the use of Facebook in higher education courses? What are the pedagogical challenges encountered, and how might these be addressed? Suggestions based on observed trends are offered for the effective inclusion of Facebook as a beneficial pedagogical component in the design of e-learning platforms for higher education.

Development Of Students

The chapter contains the results of the research dedicated to the topic that has not been given much attention so far in the professional literature – discovering effective ways of developing students' programming abilities with the means of non-programming disciplines and activities. The authors argue that the process of forming capacities of students in programming becomes effective if students participate not only in programming lessons themselves but also dedicate a significant amount of time to other academic disciplines and extracurricular activities such as solving number-theoretic and chess endgame problems. The authors find that these disciplines and activities provide efficient means for developing programming capacities and therefore, their methods are the essential prerequisites for programming course. The significance of the obtained results is that they provide an effective alternative approach to organization of programming teaching process in those educational institutions where the traditional methodology does not bring the desired pedagogical effect.

Insight Into

Entrepreneurship and more, particularly ecopreneurship, are essential to drive the sustainable transitions needed in food supply chains. Existing pedagogic frameworks should address these academic disciplines and they should be embedded in the educational curricula. Even when ideas are formed that can drive sustainable change, the process from ideation to commercialization can be difficult: the so-called “valley of death.” This aim of this conceptual paper is to consider pedagogic and program design and the mechanisms required to enaction of a body of practice around entrepreneurship and, more specifically, ecopreneurship, within academic curricula and associated business incubators. This makes this paper of particular interest for academia, policy makers and industry support sectors alike. An existing university that has both a student enterprise and ecopreneurship program and an established agri-technology business incubator and accelerator is used as a case study to provide insight into how progress from ideation to commercialization can be more readily supported in a university setting. From a pedagogical perspective, it is incumbent to develop new conceptual, methodological and theoretically underpinned spiral pedagogies to teach and support future generations of learners at agricultural and land-based colleges and universities as to how to exploit and take advantage of entrepreneurial and ecopreneurial business opportunities. Productization, too, needs to be embedded into the ecopreneurial pedagogy and also consideration of how businesses and their associated ecopreneurs navigate from ideation to successful product/service commercialization.

Background of the study: The requirement of Archivists (archivist and records manager) in Indonesia is not equal to the quantity of graduates produced by educational institutions. In addition 4.0 with the educational requirements and the needs of stakeholders who want graduates from the archival field at the highest level should be accommodated. Therefore, educational institutions are forefront in developing archival science.Purpose: This study aims to find out how the responsibility of educational institutions in developing the knowledge of the field of archives in Indonesia in the era of information technologyMethod: This study uses descriptive qualitative, interviews, and literature studies.Findings: This study discusses the Efforts of educational institutions to improve the archival science by establishing a higher education program through the mindset of building and synergy with other elements. In addition, educational institution has responsibility in the archival field in Realizing the archival sense.Conclusion: Archival science more interpreted in a theoretical structure that supports the activities of archival practical, rather than academic disciplines. If the method is applied science, the science of archives will tend to be highly empirical making it a descriptive science. This tendency will make archival science seeks only to gather facts and less attention to the development of the concept as well as demanded by the development of science through a study. To develop scientific archives in Indonesia, the necessary synergy between archival institutions, archival professional associations, educational institutions allied, as well as among students in educational institutions. This must be done with the agreement in the field of archives that apply universally to realize the creation of the organization of archives in Indonesia better.

The reasons for the need for training highly qualified personnel in the world are identified. The role of science and pedagogy in the preparation of highly qualified specialists implementing technological processes. The main issues and suggestions for their solution are proposed in the article. Skilled professionals with skills of the 21st century and their training in the modern conditions of existence of some countries. Skills of the XXI century: digital, communicative competence, creativity and high productivity of activity and their formation in the modern educational process. STEMeducation is one of the approaches that allows you to prepare children for the actively progressing development of technology and not only. The introduction of the main directions of STEM-education in Malaysia, Indonesia, the United States of America, and Ukraine is highlighted. Countries have different levels of economic development and different potentials for the development of education. But each of the certain states embodies approaches consistent with the principle of STEM-education. Examples of the implementation of STEM-education in the form of the implementation of STEM-projects in the above states are given. In Malaysia, the stage of introducing STEM-education through the implementation of integrated learning in educational institutions of the country. Indonesia introduces STEMeducation through the implementation of STEM-projects in which the integration of individual branches of science and technology is implemented. The United States is introducing targeted STEM-projects that attract professionals, teachers, and children. Ukraine introduces STEM-education through the implementation of STEM training projects or research projects that integrate several academic disciplines. The article presents, as an example, an educational STEM-project for sixth graders “Mini Weather Station”. The purpose of which is to impoverish knowledge from several academic disciplines than to show the integration of knowledge as a whole. This STEM-project allows us to identify in children a tendency to design, invent, protect nature, organizational abilities and others.

The emergent situation brought about by COVID 19 has led to an unprecedented change in the educational sector worldwide, including the Sultanate of Oman. Most of the educational institutions here have responded swiftly to fulfill the requirements of academia by switching to an online emergency remote teaching mode overnight. To get adjusted to the ‘new normal,’ teachers across all academic disciplines, including the English language, have had to adapt to new teaching approaches and learn new skills and competencies to confront this challenge. This empirical cross-sectional research study explores the teacher technology self-efficacy, the challenges faced, and the innovative practices adopted by the EFL teachers during the crisis. A mixed-methods approach was used here, including an online survey and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with six teachers. The survey was administered to 100 EFL teachers from fourteen higher-education institutions, whereas the interviews were held with six survey participants. The study found that majority of the teachers had a strong sense of self-efficacy in using technology as well as considerably positive learning experiences and novel innovations, which all resulted in the various ways they faced pandemic-related challenges. The paper gives, in particular, an account of the innovative techniques adopted by the interviewed teachers during the Pandemic crisis. This investigation hopefully adds to the field of knowledge by sharing effective, innovative techniques that have relevance to EFL teaching in Oman and beyond.
