For Learning Analytics to Be Sustainable under GDPR—Consequences and Way Forward

Personalized learning is one of the main focuses in 21st-century education, and Learning Analytics (LA) has been recognized as a supportive tool for enhancing personalization. Meanwhile, the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), which concern the protection of personal data, came into effect in 2018. However, contemporary research lacks the essential knowledge of how and in which ways the presence of GDPR influence LA research and practices. Hence, this study intends to examine the requirements for sustaining LA under the light of GDPR. According to the study outcomes, the legal obligations for LA could be simplified to data anonymization with consequences of limitations to personalized interventions, one of the powers of LA. Explicit consent from the data subjects (students) prior to any data processing is mandatory under GDPR. The consent agreements must include the purpose, types of data, and how, when and where the data is processed. Moreover, transparency of the complete process of storing, retrieving, and analysing data as well as how the results are used should be explicitly documented in LA applications. The need for academic institutions to have specific regulations for supporting LA is emphasized. Regulations for sharing data with third parties is left as a further extension of this study.

What Is Social Inclusion? Insights From Interventions With Youth Across Migration Systems

Social inclusion is a goal of 21st-century education and social welfare, yet research with violently displaced youth leaves gaps in its meaning. Social inclusion, a societal aim, lacks the perspectives of youth at its center. Given the pressures and power relations involved in learning how young people think and feel about social injustices and the support they need, developmental researchers must find innovative ways to study youth experiences and intentions in relation to environments, especially environments that threaten young lives. Emerging research highlights how displaced youth, peers along their journeys, and adults guiding supportive interventions make audible the meaning of social inclusion. Policy paradigms would benefit from research on sense-making in interventions rather than from emphasizing behavioral assessments and assimilation to local norms, as implied by social inclusion.

Rethinking Teaching in the Third Millennium. Possible Suggestions for History Teachers

Our research starts from the idea that evaluating the quality of the educational process in history, in the conditions of the educational process in history, in the conditions of 21st century education, is an attempt as difficult as it is interesting and instructive. In recent years, Romanian educations has undergone numerous transformations, both in terms of curricular aspects, respectively the curriculum, study programs and textbooks, as well as those related to the managerial component. In this process, operations of request and response, analysis and synthesis, evaluation and application have intervened and continue to intervene, all built on the basis of strategies in which all educational factors are involved.

Inadequate Library Services: A Challenge to 21st Century Education in a Developing Economy

This paper examined inadequate library services as a challenge to 21st century education in a developing economy. The paper portrayed the library as a collection of books and other information materials in various formats, properly arranged for the promotion of human knowledge, stressing that the 21st century library, with the integration of ICT and as a custodian of both books and non-book materials in diverse formats, is expected to have quantum of information available to users at all times, in order to promote constructive education. The paper takes the position that for Nigeria’s educational system to impact the knowledge and skills desired for development that endures, adequate library services must be provided at all levels of education. The paper reviewed that most libraries in Nigeria are plagued with outdated materials and lack the required facilities and resources to satisfy users’ needs, which result in inadequate library services, poor academic performance in entrance examinations, and poor reading culture which negatively affects educational development. This paper presents the absence of technological literacy, inadequate workforce, scarcity of sufficient resources, poor funding and power outage as causes of inadequate library services. The paper therefore recommends that the library staff should be trained and retrained to initiate and manage technological tools. The library should be stocked with required materials. Inter-library services should be upheld and an alternative means of power should be provided to avoid power interruption and its associated consequences on library services for the proper functioning of 21st century education.

Developing 21st Century Education and Digital Literacy Skills through Intercultural City Stories Project

As a higher education institution that highlights the 21st education, Sampoerna University has encouraged the lecturers to do projects that give students opportunities to develop skills needed in Industry 4.0 so they can participate in global competition. Besides having the skills, the students must also have Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) to be able to participate in the competition and by knowing the importance of the skills and the competence, students of Sampoerna University participated in a collaborative project with students from Malmo University in Sweden. The project encouraged learners to develop their critical, creative and digital skills by collaboratively studying the city as text. The focus was on critical multiliteracy and the promotion of intercultural communicative competence through first-hand experiences of virtual exchange in cross-cultural groups. The objectives of this research are to find out how Intercultural City Stories project applies the elements of Intercultural Communicative Competence, to analyze how Intercultural Communicative Competence gives impacts for Cross Cultural Understanding, to observe how the digital outcome of multimodal narratives improves the understanding of Intercultural Communicative Competence and digital literacy and to identify the reasons why Intercultural Communicative Competence plays important roles in 21st century education and in literacy.

ANALYZING POTENTIAL OF THE ASSASSINS CREED GAME ON HISTORY LEARNING FOR MILLENIAL IN 21st CENTURY EDUCATION

History is a part of social science. In history, we can study the various events that occurred in the past that can determine what happened in the future. With this historical knowledge, we can find out the origin of these events in the past through various sources such as books, relics, etc. [R1] However, in the 21st-century history lessons are starting to be abandoned by the current generation because of the ongoing technological advances. Even though studying history is very important as a provision for carrying out life in the future. Therefore, by taking advantage of these technological advances, we can use the game Assassin's Creed which is booming lately as a way to increase interest in learning history. The purpose of writing this paper is to explain the benefits of the game Assassin's Creed as a medium to increase interest in learning history so that in this game the player not only knows the characters, the time, and the mission but also knows the storyline of this game because it is related to events that have already occurred. To achieve this goal, the article focuses on several questions about historical learning in the present and the use of one of the games to increase interest in learning. The research method used is a literature review that performs data processing and sorting according to the discussion topics discussed by the author. The data is in the form of 20 journal articles with a span of years from 2019-2021 and website 2 trusted sites. The results of this study are in the form of an explanation of historical learning in the 21st century and the game Assassin's Creed with several series that have different synopses but have links to historical events. Thus, technological advances need to be utilized positively through the use of games as a means of increasing interest in learning history.
