Reducing Mass Incarceration Through Trauma-Informed Pedagogy

This chapter outlines strategies and practices that align with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's trauma-informed approach applied to school pedagogy in the United States to minimize or prevent trauma, especially for students referred to the school-to-prison pipeline, consequently reducing mass incarceration. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the United States' health crisis exposed a vulnerability for people of color, poorer communities, and those incarcerated, stressing a need to respond expediently to address trauma in marginalized communities. The Adverse Childhood Experiences Connection referred to childhood trauma as “America's hidden health crisis.” Focusing on trauma for school-aged youth offers a path to preventing or minimizing trauma. Research suggests that more robust, multidisciplinary research, with an intentional purpose to transform teacher practices and responses to disciplinary conduct, is needed.

INNOVATIVE FORMS OF SEMINAR LESSONS IN THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL GROWTH OF MASTERS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM "PEDAGOGY OF HIGHER SCHOOL"

The essence of innovative forms of organization of seminars in the process of professional growth of undergraduates of the educational program "Pedagogy of higher school" in the field of knowledge 01 Education / Pedagogy of specialty 011 Educational, pedagogical sciences is analyzed in the work. The following forms of innovative seminars that will promote the professional growth of undergraduates while studying in higher education are characterized: seminar-extended conversation, seminar-report (message), discussion of abstracts and creative works, annotated reading, seminar-problem solving, in the form of a TV program, seminar-debate (discussion), seminar-conference, seminar-press conference, problem seminar, seminar-auction, seminar-quiz, seminar-competition (tournament), webinar. Analysis of the most popular types of seminars allows us to talk about the crucial role of the teacher's creative approach to the process of their implementation. Such creative seminars are received with interest by masters of the educational program "Higher School Pedagogy", because they, as future teachers of free economic education, professional higher education will introduce the same organizational forms of learning in future professional activities.

Play for Change: Primary School for Children with Impairments

<p>Within the architecture of education, there is a lack of attention to the needs of children with disability. Globally, one in every ten children have a disability and there are approximately 90,000 aged 0-14 children living in households who have at least one disability in New Zealand. The cohort is one of the most marginalised and excluded group from the society, resulting in an inability to participate in classes leading to fewer opportunities to develop skills, experience and confidence. School designs are designed for children without disability, and many children with disabilities find that classrooms and outdoor environments are ill-suited for their health needs, resulting in low attendance rates, poor peer engagement and limited educational success. This thesis explores the role of architecture in facilitating the education of children with disabilities. Working from research-led design through to design-led research, it examines architecture as an educational tool. Examining classroom spaces, outdoor play and outdoor learning environment for children with disabilities, it questions the purpose of education. In addition, the research aims to desensitise the perceived architectural barriers within primary school that restricts participation for children with disabilities. The architectural design knowledge aims to improve design approaches for inclusivity in school, pedagogy and outdoor play environments. By addressing this issue, it could potentially create more positive and optimistic views and from the wider community, greater disability awareness.</p>

Investigating Effects of Self-Efficacy and Infrastructure on Teachers' ICT Use, an Extension of UTAUT

The purpose of this empirical study was to investigate the effect of two important factors, self-efficacy and ICT infrastructure, on the teachers’ ability of ICT use in school pedagogy. The study employed a descriptive survey method within an ex-post-facto research design taking 400 teachers as samples from hundred purposively selected Indian secondary schools. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results revealed that perception of self-efficacy and infrastructure were significant predictors of the teachers’ ability of ICT use. The two independent variables were found to have a high collective prediction on the teachers’ ability. Though, separate analyses revealed that self-efficacy having a deeper prediction on the teachers’ ICT ability than the infrastructure. The findings support the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model (an extension of TAM) and made a further extension with two selected factors, one included in the facilitating conditions and the other in the users’ behavioral intention in the original UTAUT model.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE CHOICE OF THE SOCIAL PROFESSION 'TEACHER'

This article is aimed at revealing the specifics of the professional choice made by students-future teachers. The increased interest in recent years of young people in studying pedagogical specialties provoked our research attention towards differentiating the factors influencing their professional choices. This article presents the results of a study conducted with students majoring in "Primary school pedagogy with a foreign language" who study at the Faculty of Education at Trakia University, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria. The results of the study indicate that in their professional choices, students are influenced by a wide range of social and personal factors. The most important social factors are: proximity of the university to the place where the student resides, the high social assessment of the quality of education at the university/faculty, and the prestige of the teaching profession in society. Among the personal factors for choosing the profession of pedagogue, students rank in leading positions their desire to work with children and their love for the teaching profession, formed under the influence of the high professionalism of their good teachers.

Problems of Higher School Didactics: Uncut Pages

Higher education today is not going through the best of times: decisions taken in the educational process at various levels (Federal Laws “On Education in the Russian Federation” of 29.12.2012 No 273-FZ and “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” on the education of students” of 31.07.2020 No 304-FZ, Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education, etc.), related to global changes taking place in society and in the world in recent decades, were made without careful didactic study. This cannot help to improve the quality of specialist training. Teachers are forced to work “by trial and error”, producing countless didactic documents. At present, identification of didactic problems in the educational process of higher educational institutions is extremely relevant due to the expansion of the field of didactic research in higher school pedagogy.The aim of the authors was to analyze some of the most relevant didactic phenomena in the digital reality that have not yet received proper understanding. As a result of the analysis, some important didactic problems of higher education are identified, concerning goal-setting, compliance of teaching with classical didactic principles, organization of distance learning in electronic informational and educational environment, mixed and project-based learning. The article also dwells on psychological problems of Internet content assimilation and “non-contact” interaction between the subjects of the educational process, etc. The most promising areas of didactic research in higher education, including the development of interdisciplinary contacts, are highlighted.

INFLUENCE OF THE MEDIA ON THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN MALI: LESSONS FOR EXTRACURRICULAR PEDAGOGY AND INFORMAL EDUCATION

This work focuses on the influence of the media on the education of young people in Mali. The emphasis is on the out-of-school pedagogy and informal education lessons that emerge. The objective is to emphasize the educational interests linked to the media in the education of the youth in Mali. To do this, we used the qualitative method through semi-structured interviews and documentary research. It results from the investigations that the media cannot act as educators because of their reification and because education must be interactive and retroactive. This lack of dialogue between the learner and the media concerned relegates the latter to a secondary level. In the context of out-of-school pedagogy and informal education, the media can still play a major role due to their preponderance in social processes, including education and learning. This requires an organization of media productions and a strong involvement of institutions (families, schools, etc.) for objective framing.
