This chapter describes the process of validation of a generic educational game shell (GEGS) with the target users for whom it was created, based on the trial method known as Learner Verification and Revision (LVR). It describes the validation objectives and evaluation criteria (pedagogic and ergonomic) used to develop the measurement instruments. It also describes the methodology for a trial conducted with nine pre-service (student) teachers, finishing with the validation results and resulting revisions to the GEGS.

The gender differences have long been an issue in computer games, but there is very little empirical research on the behavior and performance of females and males when playing computer games. This chapter discusses an exploratory study that aimed to examine the gender differences between female and male student teachers who played an educational game to learn programming concepts. This study we adopted a self-made educational game called “Game”. Fifteen males and eighteen females finished playing a level of the Game. Female participants spent more time in the Game but their scores were lower. Female and male students also employed different strategies when playing the Game. The findings call for larger and longer research studies and perhaps a re-design of the Game to make it more appealing to females, in order to have a thorough examination on the gender differences when using an educational game to learn.

The clinical dimensions of the supervisory process have at times been neglected. In this article, we explain the various stages of Goldhammer's clinical supervision model and then describe specific procedures for supervisors in the public schools to use with student teachers. This easily applied methodology lends clarity to the task and helps the student assimilate concrete data which may have previously been relegated to subjective impressions of the supervisor.

One of the measures to eliminate the consequences of the Chernobyl accident was the exclusion of highly contaminated land from agricultural use. Due to the positive dynamics of the radiation situation, the issue of land return becomes relevant. However, in the period of exclusion of these lands the land clearance degradation processes were developing. The second part of the article is devoted to the issue of economic evaluation of the expediency of land return and the mutual coordination of the results of separate stages of complex ecological and economic evaluation. The research was carried out in Mogilev branch Institute of radiology (Republic of Belarus).

This is about the pedagogical experience ahead of or beyond any pedagogical activity or action. It is therefore about perfectibility and/or dealing with something both theoretically and existentially. It is about inclusion and dialogue, but in an indirect manner, and school as a low threshold institution: heterogeneity, pluralism and multiculturalism as the primary characteristics of a modern school in a modern society. This makes school an institution important to life and knowledge. The need for a pedagogy created through a strong scientific orientation through practice or as I prefer; realism, urgent: Pedagogy framed by a good, relevant and strong understanding of context. This makes demands on teachers' competence. It demands more than possessing pedagogical scientific competence. A certain extent of double(d) competence and more is demanded both about what happens in science and about what happens in society and openness always through language and critical thinking or philosophy. This is about becoming teacher in/and for the fractured future and about what we might “give” (student) teachers in addition.
