  This paper provided an overview of the types of interactions in the distance learning environment mentioned in the literature, which are represented in the interaction of the learner with the content, the interaction of the learner with the teacher, the interaction of the learner with the learners, the interaction of the learner with the technological system and the interaction of the learner with the graphical interface. It added a sixth type related to the interaction of the learner with the employees of the university units and departments, such as the Admission and Registration Unit, the Academic Advising Unit and others. This type of interaction, we refer to, plays an important role in the distance learning process and when it occurs, it will likely help learners to cope with the technical and psychological problems they face and will drive their spiritual، social and physical growth, in addition to cognitive growth, that is through technical support services and curricular and extracurricular activities which provided by university's units and administrations. This paper also revealed the relationship between the different types of interaction, how they are affected by each other, and the dependence of some on each other, and it proposed a model that demonstrates this.

The article discusses current issues of inclusion of project activities in the educational process of a higher education institution, the need to form competencies of innovative project activities among students as a mechanism for the formation of social creativity of a future professional. The essence of the concept of «social creativity» is revealed, a model of the relationship of its components with the stages of project activity is proposed. The paper presents a study among students aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the formation of social creativity of a person through the inclusion of students in project activities. Methodological tools of the ascertaining stage of the experimental work are presented, designed to determine the level of students’ communicative and social creativity. The study established the relationship between the level of social creativity of students and the communicative difficulties that arise in their interaction – the higher the level of social creativity, the less communicative difficulties a student experiences. As part of the formative part of the experimental work, two ways to include students in project activities in the educational environment of the university are described: as the implementation of one of the disciplines of the educational programme and as part of extracurricular activities.

The article considers the typology of forms of envy, its functions, analyzes the ratio of types of envy with different types of protective and coping behavior in students of different training profiles. The study involved 50 students from 19 to 22 years old studying in different specialties of the university. Student age is a period of development of mature mechanisms of protection, constructive coping and envy as a personality trait. The authors started from the assumption that different types of envy are related to different types of protective and coping behavior and their difference among students of different learning profiles. The results of the study prove there is a relationship and interdependence of types of envy with strategies of coping and psychological protection. It was revealed — there is a close relationship between types of envy and coping strategies. It is established that different types of envy are characteristic of students of different profiles of study. Envy-dislike is more pronounced in students of a technical orientation, envy-despondency is the dominant type of envy in humanitarian students. It is proved that avisity-dislike has a positive close relationship with maladaptive confrontational coping in humanitarian students. Planning a solution to the problem and positive reassessment are interdependent and interrelated with envy-hostility among students-technical profile of training. Substitution and hypercompensation are positively interrelated with envy-hostility among humanitarians. Students of the technical profile of education revealed an inverse relationship of envy-despondency with projection and a direct connection with displacement. Envy-dislike is interrelated and interdependent with rationalization. The author plans to associate further research with the development of diagnostic tools and measures to prevent and correct feelings of envy.

AbstractThis research investigated the impact of academic advising on student retention in distance learning at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. Explanatory sequential mixed methods design was adopted for the study. The multistage sampling technique was used to sample 727 student participants from a sampling frame of 8731. Four academic advisors and three counsellors at the College of Distance were purposively selected for the study. Further, 16 students who had dropped out from the college were sampled using the snowball sampling technique. A researcher-self constructed questionnaire and a semi-structured interview guide were used to collect data. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Analyses of qualitative data were done using Merriam analytical coding process. At an alpha level of .05 academic advising made a non-significant contribution to prediction (p = .10) which implies that academic advising is not a significant predictor of student retention in distance learning. The study concluded by recommending that academic advisory services should be provided in a practical manner to address the specific needs of students at the College of Distance Education of the University of Cape Coast.

This study aims to understand the kind of relationship that students from two Portuguese higher education institutions – the Portalegre School of Health Sciences (ESSP) and the University of the Azores (UAC) – have with hazing and whether there are profiles of students associated with different types of relationship with hazing. Data were collected through the scale ‘Evaluation of Bullying Situations in Higher Education Hazing’. The findings obtained using appropriate statistical techniques, exhibit significant differences between the ESSP and the UAC, with students from the ESSP displaying a better relationship with hazing. They also showcase appreciable differences in the relationship with hazing between the ESSP and the UAC depending on personal, academic and behavioral variables. The findings finally indicate that, at each institution, the profile of students who express a better relationship with hazing differs from those who distance themselves from this ritual in terms of personal, academic and behavioral variables.

O texto apresenta uma análise do trabalho do tutor nas universidades públicas Educação a Distância (EaD). Como pressuposto metodológico, foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica calcada no conceito de ser-humano-genérico de Alves (2013), além de observações empíricas como tutor a distância do curso de Licenciatura em Música da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) através da Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB). O foco dado ao trabalho é o da precarização do trabalho docente e modos de intensificação do trabalho. O referencial teórico apresentado é o da problematização da nova morfologia do trabalho?, precarizada através de otimização dos lucros inserida na docência através de tutoria remunerada através de bolsas de estudos. A relação de trabalho de tutor e a precarização do trabalho vivenciada empiricamente na UAB é comparada com os relatos sobre o CEDERJ. Concluímos que com a falta de regulação e sindicalização do trabalho docente a distância aliado a fragilidade do financiamento da UAB, tal forma de oferta de cursos a distância em instituições públicas pode acarretar em uma súbita interrupção desses serviços se não houver uma política pública de longo prazo capaz de regular e estabilizar tal oferta, sendo fundamental igualar as condições de trabalho docente dos cursos a distância com cursos presenciais.Palavras-chave: Educação a distância, Precarização do trabalho, Trabalho docente, Formação humana.The Precariousness of the Work of the Distance Tutor in the Open University of Brazil: Reports of a Distance Tutor AbstractThis paper presents an analysis of the work of the tutor in public universities Distance Learning (DL). As methodological fundamentals, a bibliographical research based on the concept of human-generic of Alves (2013), as well as empirical observations as a distance tutor of the undergraduate course in Music of the University of Brasília (UnB) through Open University of Brasil (UAB). The focus of taken in this paper is the casualization of the teaching profession and ways of intensification of work. The presented theoretical framework is that of theproblematization the "new morphology of work" precarious through optimization of profits inserted in teaching through tutoring remunerated through scholarships. The relationship of the tutor's work and the precariousness of the work empirically experienced at the UAB is compared with the reports about CEDERJ. We conclude that in the absence of regulation and unionization of the teaching work distance allied with the fragility of the UAB financing, such as offering distance learning courses in public institutions may imply a sudden interruption of these services if there is no long-term public policy able to regulate and stabilize such offer, being fundamental to match the working conditions of teachers of distance learning courses with classroom courses.Keywords: Distance Learning, Precariousness work, Professor work, Human formation.

Extroversion and introversion are two of the personality variables mentioned in the context of learning and achievements. The present article examines the performance of students in a distance learning environment, focusing on the issue of the distinct effect of specific personality attributes (in this case, extroversion and introversion). The study included 171 respondents divided into three research groups. Each group received a different form of feedback – content feedback, effort feedback and ability feedback. Significant differences were found between the groups that received ability or effort feedback and the group that received only content feedback. Relationships were found between extroversion-introversion and the changes that occurred in motivation and achievements. It seems that extroverts benefited considerably from ability and effort feedback rather than content feedback.

This work, situated in the Greek sociocultural context, attempts to analyze the time spent by primary school students on digital and traditional extracurricular activities and the impact of these activities on the educational outcome. The first objective was to determine, by means of a quantitative survey, if the children as “digital natives” replace traditional entertainment activities with new digital technologies or if, on the contrary, they supplement them with the novel forms of entertainment. A second objective was to examine the impact of the frequency of extracurricular activities with and without screens on the school performance. Our final objective was to explore the existence of distinct user profiles based on the extracurricular activities with and without screens and to identify the relationship between different types of extracurricular activities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has surfaced educational inequities that pose unprecedented challenges for teaching and learning. Scott Sikkema, Jenny Lee, and Joseph Spilberg of Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE) and Maggie Dahn, Nickolina Yankova, and Kylie Peppler of the University of California, Irvine, explain how the arts, which are often relegated to the margins of the curriculum, can help transform disruptions like those brought about by the shift to distance learning into unique opportunities to create more open and equitable learning models. They describe how CAPE’s open and inquiry-oriented approach to arts-based pedagogy enabled them to rethink teaching and learning in ways that changed the relationship between teachers and students and gave students more ownership of their learning.
