Explores the role of mood and meaning in architectural experience via the German no-tion of stimmung, relating to the central questions of temperance and harmony in music and architecture. Motor resonance and attunement are under-acknowledged ways that architecture shapes experience. Pedagogical skills that acknowledge the complexity of an embodied and situated consciousness, emphasising qualitative, experiential and em-bodied approaches.

This chapter surveys some of the key issues in the study of embodiment in literary reading. Recent research in psycholinguistics has called attention to the role of motor resonance and experiential models in understanding language—two psychological mechanisms often brought together under the heading of “embodied simulation.” How does literary reading, and particularly reading literary narrative, leverage these embodied phenomena? Does embodiment always matter in reading or only in specific circumstances? Building on linguist David Ritchie’s scalar account of embodied simulation, and using Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho as a case study, this chapter distinguishes among various types of embodied involvement and shows how they shape the experience of reading Ellis’s novel. It also draws attention to the question of consciousness, calling for empirical research on the interplay between unconscious processes and lived experience (mental imagery, bodily feelings, etc.) in engaging with literary narrative.

Abstract Previous research has shown a link between eye contact and interpersonal motor resonance, indicating that the mirroring of observed movements is enhanced when accompanied with mutual eye contact between actor and observer. Here, we further explored the role of eye contact within a naturalistic two-person action context. Twenty-two participants observed simple hand movements combined with direct or averted gaze presented via a live model in a two-person setting or via video recordings, while transcranial magnetic stimulation was applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) to measure changes in M1 excitability. Skin conductance responses and gaze behavior were also measured to investigate the role of arousal and visual attention herein. Eye contact significantly enhanced excitability of the observer’s M1 during movement observation within a two-person setting. Notably, participants with higher social responsiveness (Social Communication subscale of the Social Responsiveness Scale) displayed a more pronounced modulation of M1 excitability by eye gaze. Gaze-related modulations in M1 excitability were, however, not associated with differences in visual attention or autonomic arousal. In summary, the current study highlights the effectiveness and feasibility of adopting paradigms with high ecological validity for studying the modulation of mirror system processes by subtle social cues, such as eye gaze.

University instructors' technological-pedagogical knowledge receives much attention in the current professional discourse. This chapter introduces a case study based on a workshop series organised by the members of the language pedagogy department of a Hungarian university for the technological-pedagogical development of the instructors owing to COVID-19-triggered emergency remote teaching. Ten participants took part in the workshops and the study, including the two researcher-participants. Through semi-structured interviews, triangulated with field notes and personal communication, it was found that the members of the department welcomed the workshop series, especially because it was tailored to their needs. The first remote teaching period posed many challenges, but because of the workshops, the instructors felt more secure to experiment with online teaching possibilities and were able to teach higher quality lessons. Participants also reported that the workshop series resulted in feeling a sense of community and that its affordances broadened their technological-pedagogical repertoire.

The concept of blended learning, a combination of online and face-to-face learning, has become popular in educational settings. Using qualitative methods, this study investigates the role of blended learning and in-service teachers’ perceptions. Blended learning was used for 19 in-service teachers during their summer degree program at a Chinese university. After the course, teachers were asked to write their reflections on blended learning, its role in diverse classrooms, and using it in their teaching career. The results showed that the teachers appreciated the use of blended learning for diversity, but they were against adopting it in their teaching due to limited pedagogical skills and the exam-oriented education system in China. Moreover, some teachers believed that traditional teaching is more effective for providing students with the necessary knowledge, while blended learning was viewed as difficult to manage. The study provides a better understanding of teachers’ perception of blended learning which contributes to global educational development.


This paper aims to explore the modern learning environment (MLE) which may emerge from the secondary education into the tertiary education. This integration usually derives from enhancing the pedagogical skill and adaptive technology to strengthen the teaching and learning process. Literature review from referred books and journals was conducted with thematic analysis. The investigation was employed in depth analysis from referred books, journals and conferences using the keywords of pedagogical skill and adaptive technology and modern learning environment. The multiple finding from met-synthesis was conducted by searching for the information which is organised using substantive keywords. The findings reveal that the role of MLE can be divided into attempting to perform learning quality, integrating the learning with continuous process, making easy in getting the sources, creating flexibility in learning. This study is expected to contribute the way of maintaining inside factor within the human being which is significantly necessary to make effort in assisting spirit performance in teaching process. To assist students across learning environment by pedagogical skills with encouraging higher teaching and learning, making convince into the pedagogy might be necessary a way to promote a range of pedagogical skills continuing integration with technological tools. In addition, using experience to boost the abstract ideas acquired in certain subjects as the source of knowledge itself can become a particular principle for the enhancement of learning in higher education.

Abstract. The article analyzes the use of innovative methods and technologies in the process of preparation of the future engineer-teacher and determines and substantiates the influence of the use of innovative methods and technologies on the development of pedagogical skills of future engineers-pedagogues - participants of innovative processes, improvement of qualitative indicators of teaching methods and use technologies for future professionals. The relevance of the use of methods and technologies in the teaching of economic disciplines in the process of professional training of future engineer-teacher, which are to teach the future specialist to independently acquire knowledge and apply them to solve new cognitive and practical problems; promote the development of communication skills; expand the circle of communication; to foster the ability to use research techniques: to collect and analyze information, to make hypotheses, to draw conclusions. The methods of interactive learning and their organizational and methodical forms are considered, which are the most optimal for the use of certain types of training in the preparation of specialists. The role of innovative methods and technologies in shaping future professionals' professional readiness, thinking and behavior has been clarified. The complex of professionally significant qualities of future engineers-educators necessary for successful professional activity is characterized and special attention is given to modern information technologies, their opportunities for improvement of professional skills. The conclusions are drawn and the prospects for further research within the given direction are indicated.
