Innovation is defined as renewal in the face of change or improvement. Change is a shift in position or situation that is likely to result in a significant increase. Practical The curriculum is changed due to several factors, for example the development of science and technology. There is a possibility that the benefits of a predetermined or expected curriculum change could go wrong. Changing the curriculum in a very short period of time is considered a failure in certain cases, but is also believed to be an attempt to achieve improvement. Curriculum reform involves several components or several factors. Curriculum change cannot be successful without being complemented by those who are supported by component systems. Changes that are partial in nature will automatically waste energy, time, funds, and energy. In addition, changes to the curriculum are more focused on the curriculum itself and ignore other aspects; such as teachers / lecturers, students, methods, media funds, etc. will potentially fail. Therefore it needs serious consideration and reasonable reasons with the desire and total involvement of the components of the education system, so as to increase competence.

This Special Edition of JUTLP is unique in that it examines a single university's approach to curriculum reform, providing insights from many of the people who were engaged in the process. At La Trobe University in Australia the mechanism for engaging in discussions at a university level has been encapsulated in an institutional strategy known as Design for Learning (DfL) (La Trobe University 2009). From 2007, former Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Belinda Probert and former Pro ViceChancellor (Curriculum and Academic Planning) Tom Angelo, led an exciting and edgy curriculum change initiative intended to build on La Trobe’s learning and teaching strengths, while simultaneously building a systems focus for ensuring curriculum quality and renewal. The blueprint for the DfL described its principles thus: “ … highlight[ing] breadth of choice, equity, flexibility (options), learning centred-ness, research and evidence based decision making, a systems focus (rather than making individuals responsible for things they do not control), and support (resources)” (La Trobe University 2009, p. 7). With goodwill, energy and a profound sense that ‘something needed to be done’, in the early years of the DfL, the university was alive with fresh talk of curriculum, teaching and student learning galvanised by new leadership, a commitment to evidence-based change, resources to fund curriculum innovation, together with the promise of reward and recognition. Imagine the scene: committees and communities spring up to think together about complex pedagogical issues, spirited discussion takes place, departments and faculties share resources and good practices, new staff are brought on board with responsibility to make things happen. The 7 papers represented here describe both large and small curriculum change initiatives – some funded by the university and others done out of love, curiosity and interest.

The paper presents a microstructure analysis of the crash of the Russian ruble in mid-December 2014. The author shows that the market break probably happened due to the execution of a large order that converted Russian rubles into U.S. dollars over a short period of a few days. Expirations of futures and options as well as possible front-running could have exacerbated the collapse of the Russian currency. The paper discusses measures taken by the Moscow Exchange and Bank of Russia during the episode and makes several recommendations to prevent a repetition of the similar events and provide an effective response in the face of future market breaks.

AbstractEye movements toward sequentially presented face images with or without gaze cues were recorded to investigate whether those with ASD, in comparison to their typically developing (TD) peers, could prospectively perform the task according to gaze cues. Line-drawn face images were sequentially presented for one second each on a laptop PC display, and the face images shifted from side-to-side and up-and-down. In the gaze cue condition, the gaze of the face image was directed to the position where the next face would be presented. Although the participants with ASD looked less at the eye area of the face image than their TD peers, they could perform comparable smooth gaze shift to the gaze cue of the face image in the gaze cue condition. This appropriate gaze shift in the ASD group was more evident in the second half of trials in than in the first half, as revealed by the mean proportion of fixation time in the eye area to valid gaze data in the early phase (during face image presentation) and the time to first fixation on the eye area. These results suggest that individuals with ASD may benefit from the short-period trial experiment by enhancing the usage of gaze cue.

Most organisms are exposed to bouts of warm temperatures during development, yet we know little about how variation in the timing and continuity of heat exposure influences biological processes. If heat waves increase in frequency and duration as predicted, it is necessary to understand how these bouts could affect thermally sensitive species, including reptiles with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). In a multi-year study using fluctuating temperatures, we exposed Trachemys scripta embryos to cooler, male-producing temperatures interspersed with warmer, female-producing temperatures (heat waves) that varied in either timing during development or continuity and then analysed resulting sex ratios. We also quantified the expression of genes involved in testis differentiation ( Dmrt1 ) and ovary differentiation ( Cyp19A1 ) to determine how heat wave continuity affects the expression of genes involved in sexual differentiation. Heat waves applied during the middle of development produced significantly more females compared to heat waves that occurred just 7 days before or after this window, and even short gaps in the continuity of a heat wave decreased the production of females. Continuous heat exposure resulted in increased Cyp19A1 expression while discontinuous heat exposure failed to increase expression in either gene over a similar time course. We report that even small differences in the timing and continuity of heat waves can result in drastically different phenotypic outcomes. This strong effect of temperature occurred despite the fact that embryos were exposed to the same number of warm days during a short period of time, which highlights the need to study temperature effects under more ecologically relevant conditions where temperatures may be elevated for only a few days at a time. In the face of a changing climate, the finding that subtle shifts in temperature exposure result in substantial effects on embryonic development becomes even more critical.

Abstract: Curriculum is a component that takes an important role in the education system. Curriculum is formulated as the objectives that must be achieved so that the educational programs are able to run clearly and effectively. In addition, thecurriculum provides an understanding of learning that ought to be owned by each student. The development of Arabic curriculum is an ongoing process that should always be conducted continuously. If it is not, the curriculum has become obsoleteor outdated. Nevertheless, the curriculum development cannot be done with minimal effort or carelessly. The Arabic curriculum cannot be developed carelessly or improperly. In order toproduce a qualified Arabic curriculum, it requires some substantial foundations, for instance the religious foundation, in which the purposes of Arabic education cannot be separated from the goal of understanding the study of Islam with its various science, philosophical, juridical, or linguistics; the differences laid on the way or technique in teaching the language influenced by different views on seeing the nature of language, analyzing and describing the language, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and the foundation of science and technology. Hence, the curriculum should be able to accommodate and anticipate the pace of developments in science and technology.

The perspectives of the improvement of natural science and technology education remains actual at all levels of an education system. Rapid development of science and technologies creates new challenges for an education system. Undoubtedly, natural science and technology education is a major factor of economic development of society. Deep concern is created by that fact that in some countries the tendency of decrease in the interest of youth to science in general is observed. It is obvious that it is necessary to reconsider the existing strategies of natural science and technology education. In this regard it is important to develop qualitatively new strategies and techniques of teaching and learning. A key task, there is a development of professional competences of science teachers, systemic improvement of teacher education in universities. Two important events are briefly presented in this editorial. The first Baltic Symposium on science and technology education was organized in Lithuania in June 2015. During the symposium participants shared experience, presented the latest scientific researches, and also examined some perspectives of natural science and technology education in the Baltic States. The second event is scientific methodical conference “Natural Science Education in a Comprehensive School” which is focused on school practice. It was organized in the Veisiejai gymnasium in April 2015. The presented scientific events undoubtedly have an influence on a development of science and technology education in general. Key words: science and technology education, scientific conference, school practice.

From as far back as the 1980s, many researchers have cited the importance of critical thinking in the citizens of modern societies. Given this importance, the merits of including critical thinking as a major objective at various levels of the education system and in different subject areas of the school curriculum have been extensively argued. This chapter focuses on science and technology curricula and rationalizes the need for changes both in the development as well as the implementation of the curriculum to facilitate the promotion of critical thinking skills in students. There is also an extensive discussion of particular instructional approaches and strategies needed to facilitate this.

The education community, accustomed to the face-to-face education system, had to switch to the distance education system with the COVID-19 pandemic. It was inevitable for educators who had not experienced distance education to prepare themselves in a short time and to complete the process with the least damage. Of course, there were many negativities during distance education and the whole world gained certain experiences during this time. In this study, the problems experienced by the academic staff using distance education applications, their approaches to distance education, how much they have improved themselves in other possible problems in the future, and what they expect from distance education have been examined. Thematic analysis was used as a research design; articles, theses, books, reports of official institutions and organizations were examined; and the concepts that emerged during distance education applications were divided according to categories by using descriptive and thematic analysis.
