<p>The interest in and research on blended learning have increased and developed in the last two decades. This study addresses the topic of blended learning particularly exploring the different definitions of blended learning and the views of teachers on blended learning courses. By locating papers on blended learning using specific databases, this systematic study appraises peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2019. After examining the full papers, 32 studies are then selected as they meet all inclusion criteria and answer the research questions. The findings of this study indicate that blended learning is not a homogenous concept since it means different thing to different people. Besides, teachers in the blended courses experience several challenges, hence constant supports and persistent effort from all the components including the related institution should be given to achieve the potential benefits of this learning mode.</p><p class="Default">Keywords:</p><p><em>Blended learning, higher education, teacher perception</em></p>

The article deals with the problems of higher education in the conditions of digitalization of the country's economy. Examples of the formation and development of SMART learning, as well as the creation of virtual departments, as a necessary condition for creating new specialties related to the digitalization of education are shown. The experience of creating a virtual Department and SMART training in MUIT is described. It is shown that the formation of SMART education leads to the cooperation of several universities in training personnel in accordance with the requirements of the digital society. Shown the possibility of creating new specialties corresponding to the digital society, such as "Computer science and the organization of digitalization of education" (Teacher of digitalization of education and the creation of digital educational resources), "Bioinformatics", "Digital agrosystems and complexes". The possibility of cooperation not only with universities, but also with research institutes for training personnel in new specialties, which will be in demand now. All these require from universities to rethink about educational programs and create virtual chairs.

This chapter aims to identify certain interaction dynamics between pedagogical decisions and students' epistemic practices (EPs) that occur during science and technology lessons conducted by teachers at two different teaching levels. A content analysis was undertaken of multimodal narratives (MNs) of lessons based on two case studies of secondary and higher education teachers. MN excerpts are used to illustrate the interaction dynamics between pedagogical decisions and students' EPs for each teacher. Results show that the secondary education teacher makes more pedagogical decisions than the higher education teacher and that the secondary school students engage in fewer EPs than the higher education students. The results also show that it is possible to use MNs as an instrument to develop research on teachers' pedagogical decisions. Teachers' pedagogical decisions are an important asset for teacher professional development as they have an impact on students' epistemic work in the physical science classroom.

The current investigation surveyed 83 preservice teacher education candidates enrolled in institutions of higher education (IHEs) to pursue licensure in special education. The purpose of the investigation was to determine why these candidates were pursuing a career as a special education teacher, when they decided, and where they saw themselves teaching in the near future. The survey yielded implications for potential K-12 and IHE initiatives to promote careers in the field of special education to individuals.

A presente pesquisa versa sobre a constituição da identidade profissional dos professores formadores dos cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática. Indaga-se: quais fatores foram e/ou são indispensáveis à construção da identidade desse profissional? O sujeito se forma professor vivenciando e interiorizando diferentes aprendizados em ambientes e momentos distintos. Em busca de resposta ao questionamento ora apresentado, analisam-se os processos de socialização vivenciados por professores formadores de um Curso de Licenciatura em Matemática. Para a realização dessa análise, entrevistam-se cinco docentes, utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa. Constatou-se que a identidade profissional dos professores em pauta se constitui de questões familiares e de experiências que se sucedem durante a educação básica, ensino superior, no campo profissional, entre outros níveis de ensino. As we studied how trainers in Mathematics Degree courses constitute their own professional identity, we faced another question: what factors were / are essential to the construction of the professional identity of teacher educators in Mathematics Degree courses? The subject is formed a professor by experiencing and internalizing different learning, in different environments and different times. Thus, we analyzed socialization processes experienced by teacher trainers from a Mathematics Degree course. Five teachers were interviewed through a qualitative approach. We noted that such a professional is formed through family issues, experiences that took place during elementary education, higher education, in the professional field, among others.
