Contextual teaching and learning is a learning concept that can help teachers link the material taught with real-world situations and encourage students to make connections between their knowledge and application in life. Basically, contextual teaching and learning is a concept that aims to equip students with knowledge that can be applied flexibly from a problem or from another context so that students' understanding is expected through experience, not just memorizing a material. The research method used is qualitative research with primary and secondary sources, data collection techniques in research by means of observation methods, interview methods and documentation methods. Data analysis was carried out using qualitative data analysis. The results of this study show how the application of the contextual teaching and learning learning model in increasing interest in learning is to develop the idea that students will learn more interestingly when students learn in their own way and find ideas by constructing their own new knowledge and skills. create a learning society. The positive impact of implementing the contextual teaching and learning learning model in increasing interest in learning is that it can develop students' abilities in solving problems, can develop critical, logical and analytical thinking skills and the negative impact of implementing the contextual teaching and learning learning model is the lack of ability to reason

Blended learning comprises of teaching and learning formats that complement online technologies for both on-campus and off-campus students. The disposition of online learning requires the student to exercise autonomy, independence, and self-reliance, and the teacher to engage skills that facilitate, guide, and mentor students. These skills need to be developed through support systems that encourage both faculty and student participation. This chapter examines the concept of student support with the objective of providing a background and justification for its role in online learning. The chapter proposes that student support should be part of faculty training with a double-faceted benefit: 1) faculty will adopt the use of technology while learning online student support systems; 2) a well-designed support system will contribute to best practice through improved student retention and success.

This paper reports on a small, qualitative study undertaken by an early career researcher in an Australian university into the meanings which multilingual and bilingual pre-service teachers attach to their linguistic ‘funds of knowledge’ (Moll, Amanti, Neff and Gonzalez, 1992) in relation to their university studies, and to their emerging identities as teachers. Current pedagogical best practice in Australia indicates that drawing on students’ existing funds of knowledge in teaching and learning results in increased intellectual quality, such as higher order thinking skills, and higher academic outcomes. However, the participants in this study did not conceptualise their linguistic abilitiesas having any value in relation to their higher education. They also appeared to tacitly accept reported institutional and pedagogical practices,which marginalisedthese abilities both as tools for learning and for informing their developing identities as teachers.  On the basis of these findings, broad preliminary recommendations are made as to how the learning experiences of bilingual andmultilingual pre-service primary teachers, and of their monolingual peers, may be improved at this university.The study’s findings point to the need for a larger-scale research study into this under-investigated aspect of pre-service teacher education in Australia. Photo credit: By Fluss (Own work) [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC-BY-SA-3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

This paper discusses the challenges faced by rural learners in South Africa in the context of the world pandemic commonly known as COVID-19. Rural learners face unprecedented challenges in adjusting to a new mode of life and learning, the latter being characterised by the predominant use of online, learning management systems and low-tech applications. The paper is informed by critical emancipatory research, I used participatory action research. A total of 10 learners and five teachers participated via Whatsapp. The paper answers two questions: what are the learning challenges faced by rural learners in South Africa, and how can online learning be enhanced in the context of COVID-19? The findings suggest that, while the South African government is promoting online learning as the only alternative in the context of COVID-19, this mode excludes many rural learners from teaching and learning, due to a lack of resources to connect to the internet, the learning management system, and low-tech software. The paper argues that rural learners are critical stakeholders in education and in the fight against COVID-19, and they cannot be left behind in efforts to fight the pandemic.

A more systematic and better Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) approach would allow teachers to offer their best effort in order to produce students with higher-order thinking skills. Successful nurturing of HOTS requires the student’s initiative to change from normal thinking to a critical way of thinking. Educational transformation aimed at cultivating HOTS is in line with contemporary situations because teachers also encounter students who are far different today compared to a decade or so before. The implementation of HOTS among teachers should be intensive and continuous via various methods to ensure the teacher’s capability to teach and learn is always improving. Failure to implement a good HOTS would weaken the objective of the Malaysia Education Development Plan 2013-2025 (PPPM 2013-2025) aimed at producing students who are highly productive and skilled in using information technology and communication. Hence, this paper intended to comprehensively identify the criteria for best-practice for HOTS in the Design and Technology course as well as evaluate the criteria by using the Delphi Method. This method comprised three interview sessions with a panel of 15 experts whose function was to determine the criteria obtained from literature sources. These criteria were then used as components to develop an instrument to measure teachers’ experience when carrying out HOTS during the teaching and learning sessions.

This Chapter develops a bibliographic analysis that associates teaching methodologies with cognitive skills to create a structural map of teaching activities that guide the learning process in classroom, basing on student characteristics. Specifically in higher education, the academic formation within the major universities in the entire world goes through a particular problem: lack of effectiveness in the teaching-learning process. This Chapter starts from the premise that the learning management should be used as a strategy for planning the teaching-learning process. A specific theoretically grounded analysis is used to understood a series of learning activities appropriate to cognitive skills, so authors propose a functionalist model of teaching and learning that seeks greater usefulness in the transfer of knowledge in classroom. Thus, the Chapter covers issues such as: experiential learning for teaching questions, Kolb's theory of experiential learning, teaching-learning process, and applications of learning management.
