Designing Environment for Research and Learning in Secondary SchoolContemporary pedagogy searches for the ways to reorient teachers' and students' activity towards the aim of sustainable development. The teacher becomes involved both in teaching/learning activities and in researching the environment of his own activities in order to design the environment favourable for students' development. The article presents the analysis of research and learning environment and activities that promote the development of students' research skills in one of Latvia's secondary schools. It displays the research methods and means identified in students' research works, and evaluates the research environment in the school. Several types of environment were identified, which teachers can purposefully use to develop the research skills of their students. The results of analysis can be implemented by educational institutions, which organise students' research activities. The described methods and means can be used in learning environment with no supplementary material resources required and involving teachers in research of school environment therefore re-orientating their professional frames of reference to address sustainable development.

Teaching-learning process is in the transition phase due to the rapidly changing global scenario where Information Technology (ICT) is playing a very important role.Presently our class rooms are not simply designed to feed the brains of the students, these are designed and equipped with higher level technology. Like other aspects of life, the teaching- learning environment among the educational institutions also came under the influence of highly digitalized techniques of ICT. It is generally believed that ICTs can empower the teachers as well as the learners to contribute their best in sustainable development of the nations. Its effective use can bring efficiency in teaching-learning process and also make excellent contributions towards the achievement of educational targets. This paper aims to identify the effective roles and uses of ICTs in teaching-learning process and also discusses the challenges and limitations that are imposed by the increasing use of ICTs.

This paper intends to analyze perceptions of students and teachers towards the semester system of Tribhuvan University (TU). The result of the study is based on the data collected through survey questionnaire from 40 university teachers and 194 master level students. The perception is discussed in terms of learning environment, resources, use of ICT tools, contents and activities. The findings show that the perception of teachers and students towards curriculum, teaching/learning environment, and regularity of classes and viability of semester system are in positive direction. However, the availability of learning resources and use of ICT tools in day to day teaching/learning are not in satisfactory way in the perception of the participants. Their perceptions also reveal that facilities of extra-curricular activities, play grounds and canteen are inadequate. Similarly, the teachers and students perceive that availability of both human and academic resources is inadequate. The students experience show that there is teacher domination in selection of teaching methods; less use of ICT materials to promote learning; difficulty in completing courses in the stipulated time and not timely declaring exam result. However, this system has encouraged and empowered creativity among students for learning.

In today’s complex world, the acquisition of research skills is considered an important goal in (upper secondary) education. Consequently, there is a growing body of literature that recognises the value of well-designed (online) learning environments for effectively supporting the development of this complex set of skills. However, a clear consensus on how these research skills can be facilitated is currently lacking. Furthermore, interventions aiming to foster these skills are often implemented in specific domains, mostly in physics, biology and chemistry. In addition, current approaches to facilitation often refer to only a few epistemic activities related to research skills. Because of the broad and (mainly) domain-specific character of research skills, the purpose of this paper is to articulate the instructional design considerations for an online learning environment for upper secondary school students’ (broad set of) research skills in a(n) (underrepresented) behavioural sciences context.

Abstract The crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic led most people all over the world to deal with a change in their perception and organization of time. This happened also, and mainly, within the educational institutions, where students and teachers had to rearrange their teaching/learning dynamics because of the forced education at a distance. In this paper, we present an exploratory qualitative study with secondary school students aimed to investigate how they were experiencing their learning during lockdown and how, in particular, learning of science contributed to rearranging their daily lifetime rituals. In order to design and carry out our investigation, we borrowed constructs coming from a research field rather unusual for science education: the field of sociology of time. The main result concerns the discovery of the potential of the dichotomy between alienation from time and time re-appropriation. The former is a construct elaborated by the sociologist Hartmut Rosa to describe the society of acceleration in the “era of future shock”. The latter represents an elaboration of the construct of appropriation that the authors had operationally defined, starting from Bakhtin’s original idea, to describe the nexus between physics learning and identity. Thanks to the elaboration of the notion of time re-appropriation as feature of the “era of present shock”, the study unveils how school science, instead of preparing the young to navigate our fast-changing and complex society, tends to create “bubbles of rituals” that detach learning from societal concern.

With other countries of the world, India has passed through unrivalled difficult times due to the pandemic of COVID-19. The national lockdown was started on 25 March, 2020. In fact, the economy of India has largely been disordered due to that lockdown. All Higher Educational Institutions had also been completely closed from 16 March, to 10 June, 2020, without taking any bold strategy for immediate future education. Hence, the teaching-learning process, including research activities of all higher educational institutions, had been hampered with uncertainty at that time. Under that situation, students had also compelled to stay at home and had continued their academic works from/at home with or without digital accessibilities. Co-curricular activities, direct face-to-face interactions with teachers and friends had been stopped totally due to sudden lockdown. In reality, they had anxieties about their syllabus, examinations, results, and future. Under that sudden lockdown situation due to pandemic, the study wanted to address students’ opinion to run their college/university, to measure the anxiety level regarding their syllabus, examinations & results, and placements, and finally to find out a suitable way to run the academic activities under the situation.

Educating and preparing young graduates with an actionoriented education program is the prime requirement for any country. Therefore, the Sustainability course is designed to develop resource persons to fulfill the immediate country’s demand for adequate ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) skilled graduates. Currently Bangladesh is thriving for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by implementing the sustainability practices into the educational institutions. However, IUBAT is the pioneer for setting the sustainability course in undergraduate studies for any disciplines. Since today more than 10,000 undergrad students of the different disciplines have been taught the sustainability course where they engaged and practiced for any environmental degradation and resource conservation. Moreover, these students also spreading their sustainability knowledge and practices going to secondary and higher secondary school and colleges as a part of course assignments. Meanwhile IUBAT is a Green Campus, therefore students can practice for ESD with the appropriate green facilities. The aim of this paper is to disseminate the knowledge sharing that IUBAT leads introducing sustainability education at undergraduate level. This also highlights how IUBAT students are dedicated to participate and practicing for sustainable education for their lifelong learning which ultimately supports a nation’s dream of achieving SDGs by 2030.

Absztrakt Ismeretes tény, hogy napjainkban elterjedtek a különféle digitális eszközök, egy okostelefon általában a szerényebb anyagi helyzetben élő családokban is megtalálható. Hallhatjuk, hogy a mai gyermekek digitális bennszülöttek, ez a környezet természetes számukra.Ennek ellenére nem terjedt el a köznevelésben az e-learning, a digitális oktatás vagy a multimédián alapuló tanítás. Mit jelent a digitális oktatás és az elektronikus eszközök használata a tanulás szempontjából? Jelen írásomban igyekszem feltárni ennek okait. Elsőként a tanítási-tanulási folyamatról szóló néhány fontos elméletet tekintek át, majd az elektronikus tanulási környezet jellemzőit veszem sorra. Foglalkozom a pedagógusok és a diákok kompetenciáival, felkészültségével. Megítélésem szerint, a hiányosságok forrásainak megnevezése erről való gondolkodás elengedhetetlen a fejlesztés szempontjából. Kulcsszavak: digitális oktatás, média, elektronikus tanulási környezet THE CHALLENGES OF THE DIGITAL AGE AND THE PRESENCE OF VISUAL MEDIA IN PUBLIC EDUCATION Abstract It is a known fact that various digital devices are prevalent nowadays, a smartphone is usually found in families living in a more modest financial situation. We can hear that today’s children are digital natives, this environment is natural to them.Nevertheless, e-learning, digital education, or multimedia-based education are not widespread in public education. What does digital education and the use of electronic tools for learning mean? In this writing, I try to explore the reasons for this. I first review some important theories about the teaching-learning process and then list the characteristics of an e-learning environment. I deal with the competencies and readiness of teachers and students. In my view, naming the sources of deficiencies and thinking about it is essential for development. Keywords: e-learning, digital education, media, e-learning environment
