ABSTRACTThis paper aims to characterize current public policies and educational practice perspectives, which principles are based on the logic of global education economy, aiming to reflect on possible impacts on processes of teaching and learning within the local educational contexts. This model reflects the neoliberal political influence and economic logic, which features a context governed by the laws of the market and the democratic Social Welfare State mischaracterization; that is, state reduction and “market and quasi-market” enhancement. Example of this is what is happening in Brazil with the expansion of educational services and outsourced products. This idea has been applied by Basic Education responsibility decentralization for the municipalities. Thus, the budget for the services, products and continuing education is being transferred to specialized national and multinational enterprises, often under the label of nonprofits entities (new philanthropies, associated companies, that is, the third sector). Therefore, the Brazilian education has been suffering state denationalization impact, which is causing profound changes in how educational public policies are being practiced within each Brazilian municipality. Consequently, Brazilian education is being conceived as commodity.RESUMOEste trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar as atuais políticas públicas e perspectivas de práticas educacionais, cujos princípios fundamentam-se na lógica da economia de educação global, visando refletir sobre possíveis impactos nos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem no âmbito dos contextos educacionais locais. Esse modelo reflete a influência da lógica política e econômica neoliberal, o qual caracteriza um contexto governado pelas leis de mercado e pela descaracterização do Estado de Bem-estar Social democrático; ou seja, a redução do Estado e a valorização do “mercado e quase-mercado”. Exemplo disso é o que está acontecendo no Brasil com a expansão dos serviços e dos produtos educacionais terceirizados. Essa idéia vem sendo aplicada pela descentralização da responsabilidade da Educação Básica para os municípios brasileiros. Dessa forma, o orçamento para os serviços, os produtos e a formação continuada está sendo transferido para empresas nacionais e multinacionais especializadas, muitas vezes sob o rótulo de entidades sem fins lucrativos (novas filantropias; empresas associadas; ou seja, a terceira via). Assim sendo, a educação brasileira vem sofrendo o impacto da desnacionalização do Estado, o que está provocando profundas mudanças em como as políticas públicas educacionais vêm sendo praticadas no âmbito de cada município brasileiro. Consequentemente, a educação brasileira está sendo concebida como um comodity.

ABSTRACTThis paper aims to identify the Communication course curricular trajectory in Brazil, in order to reflect on possible impacts on teaching and learning processes within the local educational contexts of undergraduate Social Communication courses. The discourses present in curricular public policies towards this area of knowledge have been shaped by neoliberal logic, which features a context governed by the laws of the market and the democratic Social Welfare State mischaracterization, that is, the State reduction and “market and quasi-market” appreciation. The current recommendations of the Brazilian national curricular frameworks for Social Communication exemplify the management of private interests, of large enterprises in the Multinational Educational and Telecommunications area, through the expansion of outsourced educational services and products. The disentanglement of qualifications weakens the area and isolates the knowledge in related areas, massing a speech in favor of the market. Thus, the Brazilian higher education has been suffering the impact of denationalization of the state, which is causing profound changes in how curriculum public policies are being implemented.RESUMOEste trabalho tem como objetivo identificar a trajetória curricular dos cursos de Comunicação no Brasil, visando refletir sobre possíveis impactos nos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem no âmbito dos contextos educacionais locais dos cursos de graduação de Comunicação social. Os discursos presentes nas políticas públicas curriculares dirigidas a esse campo do conhecimento vêm sendo modelados pela lógica neoliberal, a qual caracteriza um contexto governado pelas leis de mercado e pela descaracterização do Estado de Bem-estar Social democrático, ou seja, a redução do Estado e a valorização do “mercado e quase-mercado”. As atuais recomendações dos referenciais curriculares nacionais brasileiros para a Comunicação Social exemplificam a gerência de interesses privados, de grandes empresas do ramo Educacional Multinacional e de Telecomunicações, pela expansão dos serviços e dos produtos educacionais terceirizados. A desarticulação das habilitações enfraquece a área e isola o conhecimento em áreas afins, massificando um discurso que vem para favorecer o mercado. Assim sendo, a educação superior brasileira vem sofrendo o impacto da desnacionalização do Estado, o que está provocando profundas mudanças em como as políticas públicas de currículo vêm sendo implementadas.

Indonesia began to be affected by Covid-19 in early 2020, of course, this will give changes to all sectors of life. One sector that has also felt the impact is the education sector. On March 24, 2020, the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia issued a government circular number 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Education Policy in an Emergency for the Spread of COVID, by stipulating the provisions of the teaching and learning process starting from tertiary to basic education levels to be carried out online or learning at home. This distance learning course provides new challenges for teachers, students, and parents, in its implementation. This research aims to find out more clearly how the distance learning process and what obstacles are faced by teachers, students, and parents at SDN 3 Banjar Sari during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The method used in this research is qualitative research methods. This type of research uses a multi-case study design. Research results: the teacher has tried to do several learning methods, but until now there is no method that is considered the most effective in the teaching and learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic. Each method used by the teacher does not escape from various obstacles and shortcomings. Even so, teachers still try their best to carry out their duties in order to realize the goals of education

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant disruption to teaching and learning activities at all levels. Faculty, students, institutions, and parents have had to rapidly adapt and adopt measures to make the best use of available resources, tools and teaching strategies. While much of the online teaching pedagogies have been theoretically and practically explored to a limited extent, the scale at which these were deployed was unprecedented. This has led a large number of researchers to share challenges, solutions and knowledge gleaned during this period. The main aim of this work was to thematically model the literature related to teaching and learning during, and about, COVID-19. Abstracts and metadata of literature were extracted from Scopus, and topic modeling was used to identify the key research themes. The research encompassed diverse scientific disciplines, including social sciences, computer science, and life sciences, as well as learnings in support systems, including libraries, information technology, and mental health. The following six key themes were identified: (i) the impact of COVID-19 on higher education institutions, and challenges faced by these institutions; (ii) the use of various tools and teaching strategies employed by these institutions; (iii) the teaching and learning experience of schools and school teachers; (iv) the impact of COVID-19 on the training of healthcare workers; (v) the learnings about COVID-19, and treatment strategies from patients; and (vi) the mental health of students as a result of COVID-19 and e-learning. Regardless of the key themes, what stood out was the inequities in education as a result of the digital divide. This has had a huge impact not only in middle- and low-income nations, but also in several parts of the developed world. Several important lessons have been learned, which, no doubt, will be actively incorporated into teaching and learning practices and teacher training. Nonetheless, the full effect of these unprecedented educational adaptions on basic education, expert training, and mental health of all stakeholders is yet to be fully fathomed.

Researchers have now acquired so much information about how the brain learns that a new academic discipline has been born, called "educational neuroscience" or "mind, brain, and education science." This field explores how research findings from neuroscience, education, and psychology can inform our understandings about teaching and learning, and whether they have implications for educational practice. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that recommendations for applying these findings to instructional practices have a foundation in solid scientific research. It also ensures that teachers are working smarter, not harder. This article discusses some of those exciting applications.

The study examined the impact of the school feeding programme on access to basic education in the South Tongu district in the Volta Region, Ghana. A convergent parallel mixed method research design was employed to conduct the study. Stratified random sampling and purposive sampling procedures were used to select 213 respondents for the study. Questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussion were used to collect the data for the study. Data gathered through questionnaires was analysed using descriptive statistics such as percentages and frequencies while interview data analysis was done using the thematic approach. The results of the study showed that the school feeding programme has a significant impact on increased enrolment, attendance and retention of pupils in the South Tongu district. However, the implementation of the programme has put pressure on teaching and learning materials as well as increased teacher-pupil ratio. The study recommended that plans and measures should be put in place by the government, implementation ministries and agencies on how to increase existing human, physical and financial resources for the school feeding programme to be sustained.

The reality that is happening in the world globally today is experiencing turbulence, so the impact is that many things are changing rapidly (volatality), uncertainty (uncertainty), complex (complexity) and often confusing (ambiguity). Today we see the emergence of strange phenomena that we never imagined would be present before, namely changes that are visible and very significant affect the way of life and the mindset of humans as a whole. The current global education world is facing the so-called technology and information gap between digital immigrants (old teachers who learn technology) and digital natives (students who enjoy and use technology), while there are still teachers who are currently quite stuttering in dealing with students or students who speak technology. These old teachers often find it difficult to change the teaching and learning paradigm, find it difficult to adjust to the latest trends in teaching and digital-based learning media that are developing fast, feel threatened by technology, and feel confused to change. Ideally, teachers should be willing and able to change their mindset, they are old and will soon retire. Teachers must be willing to be open to changing times because teachers are real lifelong learners. Teachers are role models and agents of life change. Keywords: Globalization, Teacher, Volatality, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity

One of the most significant developments in international business in recent years is the dramatic expansion of Chinese – often state-led or state-supported – investment in Africa. While we know something of Chinese multinational enterprises’ strategies, we know comparatively little about their work and employment practices and even less about their influence on other MNEs. We examine these important issues by looking at the practices of a major Chinese MNE alongside those of a French MNE and a US MNE in Cameroon’s oil industry. We find that while the French and American MNEs were successful in importing their preferred practices and in evading host-country regulations for many years, this was challenged upon the arrival of the Chinese MNE. We query why and by what means did the entrance of a major MNE lead to significant changes in the behaviours of long-resident MNEs. The translation of the identified effects is explained by drawing on different levels of analysis that include an appreciation of the location of the MNE and the state within the international political economy of capitalism, attendant shifts in the frontiers of political influence, isomorphic institutional influences, actors’ postures within and beyond the MNE, and their relational interplay.

The BRICS countries have a historical aspiration for global leadership, especially Russia and China, and other countries trying to have a position in the pyramid of international powers in the twenty-first century, especially Brazil, India and South Africa, they worked to unify their efforts, in order to achieve integration in the strategic action, activate its role in International affairs, ending American domination , and restructuring an international system that have an active role in its interactions.       The research hypothesis is based on the idea that the BRICS group, despite the nature of its economic composition and its long-term goals, but its political influence as a bloc, is greater than the proportion of its economic influence in restructuring the new international order. The BRICS group has the capabilities to reshape the international order, but disputes among some of its members represent a challenge to its future work. Its goals will not be achieved without teamwork. Third world countries, especially those that reject unipolarism, have regarded one of the pillars supporting multi-polarity, aiming of giving them freedom of movement in international relations. The ultimate goal of the BRICS is a political nature, as economic mechanisms are used to achieve political goals.

The article review of ‘The Impact of Fun and Enjoyment on Adult Learning’ (Lucardie, 2014) opens doors to the kaleidoscope of fun and enjoyment amongst adult learners. The essence of this review is an informative snapshot on the critical issues of how fun and joy have impacted adult learning through a qualitative research drawing upon traditions of phenomenology. It aims to explore the affective experiences of fun and enjoyment. This article review attempts to highlight an insightful assessment of the ideas and the arguments that are being discussed by the author. The different interpretation of this concept draws out contrasting elements between learners and teachers’ beliefs. A twist to this review is a reflective stance procured to address central issues emerging in the article related to the Malaysian context. It is through the lens of the reader, Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI):4R is proposed. This refers to the process of continuously improving the quality of teaching and learning of an educational programme. This review concludes with the framing of CQI:4R to illustrate reflect, revisit, realign and reconstruct processes that could possibly navigate the architectural landscape of the Malaysian Teacher Education.
