In the digitized era, life has become simpler with the increased information technology. The Education Department in the whole world is facing a tremendous revolution with the development. The traditional classroom study is converted to a modernized and digitized classroom with visualization. This modernization has increased the learning capability of the students with an increase in student and teacher interaction. From this teaching and learning process, most colleges and universities have improved performance in preparing course materials, effective teaching, and independent learning among the students in the theoretical courses. Ideological and political education (IPE) is a theoretical subject that is taught and understood at higher education institutions, such as colleges and universities. A hybrid hierarchical K -means clustering for optimizing clustering with unsupervised machine learning is proposed to analyze the student performance and concluded that the proposed algorithm shows improved performance than the K -means algorithm.

Challenging Deficit Thinking in Our Schools

Deficit thinking by educators is a barrier to student success. To effectively meet the needs of all students, future teachers need to be able to identify and challenge deficit thinking when they encounter it. Educator preparation programs are well positioned to assist with the rejection of deficit thinking in favor of strengths-based approaches in the classroom through intentionally designed courses and required field experiences. This chapter explores deficit thinking in special education, highlights components of teacher training that have been demonstrated to address issues of equity and combat deficit thinking, and shares one education department's efforts to ensure deficit thinking is adequately addressed in their coursework and fieldwork. Other educator preparation programs may benefit from the exploration of inclusive and equity-focused program components, as well as the auditing process conducted by this education department.

Opinions about the content of the anatomy course of future physical education teachers and their ability to apply what they have learned in professional activities

The behaviours gained in graduate education should be used in their professional life. As a result of the literature review, it is concluded that physical education teachers have problems in transferring knowledge in their professional competence. The opinions of physical education teachers about the education they received at the university are important in terms of investigating the source of this problem. Anatomy is about the body. The achievements of the anatomy course and the applicability of these gains are very important. This research was conducted with last year students studying at the physical education department at the university. 48 pre-service teachers who took the Anatomy course, studying in the physical education department, participated in the research. Researchers were selected based on volunteerism. The qualitative research method was used in the research and the findings were supported by content analysis. 4 open-ended questions prepared by the researcher were prepared by taking expert opinions. The results obtained from the research show that the anatomy course is important for physical education, and the behaviours to be gained in this course will have to be used frequently in professional life. Again, it was concluded that explaining the anatomy course content as applied while preparing it will facilitate their learning. As a result of the results obtained from this research, the anatomy course taught in universities is an important course for the physical education profession. The method applied for the problems experienced in this course can be changed technically. In the anatomy course, which includes theory and practice, practice can eliminate the problems experienced.
