The aim of the study was to identify and substantiate the psychological and pedagogic conditions for the prevention of violence in school educational environment based on analysis of regional specificities. Studying the characteristics of bullying in Kostroma schools using the Smob questionnaire and comparing with the results of Austrian and Moscow scholars showed that there are both universal tendencies in the manifestation of bullying, independent of gender, age, ethnicity, place of residence, and specific features characteristic of provincial region. As a result of the study, it was proved that the system of psychological and pedagogic conditions for the prevention of violence in school educational environment, on the one hand, is determined by the universal characteristics of the manifestation of violence and bullying, and on the other hand, should be aligned with regional specificities. The violence prevention programme in school e educational environment should be aimed at developing pupils' skills of constructive aggression management and is based on the principles of systematic diagnostic, correctional, preventive and developmental tasks; taking into account age-psychological and individual characteristics of pupils; the complexity of the methods of civilised psychological impact; active involvement of the nearest social environment; reliance on the events of school life.

This research method uses a quantitative approach and a descriptive evaluative method. A quantitative approach is used in collecting information and data needed in research. Then, the research findings are described and interpreted using a descriptive evaluative method. The results showed that the reaction aspect (level 1) of the training participants to the materials, facilities, and infrastructure of the education and training organizers, and Widyaiswara was included in the good category. However, there are still some improvements related to the level of difficulty of the training material, learning support media, and variations in the use of models and learning approach according to the characteristics of the material and problems. The learning aspect (level 2) based on the learning outcomes of the pre-test and post-test scores showed an increase in understanding of the material for the acquisition of an N-gain score of 0.51 in the medium category, while the skills and attitudes of the training participants during the training were in a good category. Potential aspects of behavior change (level 3) related to teacher performance in pedagogic, professional, personality, and social aspects were obtained in a category. However, the results of this study also show that there is still a low level of confidence in several indicators such as the indicator of utilizing ICT for the benefit of PAI learning development and taking reflective action to improve the quality of learning, developing and creatively guided learning materials and sustainably developing professionalism. through reflective action. The low behavior change in these indicators is due to the low understanding and skills of using ICT because they are not accustomed to using it, and the heavy workload of teachers is the reason for not having time to make self-development efforts.

<p class="apa">Lecturers are professional educators and scientists whose main job is to transform, develop, and disseminate knowledge, technology, and art through education, research and community services. As professionals, in Indonesia, lecturers are expected to possess pedagogic, personal, social, and professional competences. However, in reality, the professional competences of private university lecturers are still low. It has been established that the masterly of learning materials, the understanding of the pedagogic content and substance, and the use of appropriate teaching and learning methodologies are still low. Thus, the present study aimed to reveal, explain, and find a model of management which can better improve services in the private universities across Indonesia, especially, the improvement of lecturers’ professional competences. The research employed a descriptive-analytic method, which aimed to reveal current events that impact positively on the improvement of private university lecturers’ professional competences. This research, has revealed that the policies of lecturer planning and preparation by teacher training institutions are still weak and less concerned with the aspect of needs assessment or mapping; lecturer competence development has not been handled sufficiently thus, ignoring the stduents needs; the management strategy of lecturers’ competence improvement has not been well-coordinated; the management aspect as well as lecturer continuous professional development has failed to consider reward and punishment, hence affecting lecturer competences. In the effort for further clarification, SWOT analysis was applied which also revealed that among the factors supporting lecturer development was the high motivation and othe inner personal factors. This means there should be special strategies of management development that positively influence lecturer professional competences and quality.</p>

The article deals with the issue of aesthetic and cultural education in the age of multiculturalism, which is relevant for modern pedagogy. The connections between culture and education, the growth of the role of aesthetic and cultural education and the training of a future specialist are considered, according to which the emphasis is shifted from traditional pedagogy to the development of aesthetic and cultural education of a comprehensively developed personality. It is noted that modern pedagogy considers culture and aesthetics as an auxiliary means of influencing the student, as well as the formation of his aesthetic and cultural instructions. In the article, based on the study of aesthetic and cultural education of the individual in the modern age, it is carried out in the context of multiculturalism and the synthesis of approaches from the point of view of socialization and the transition of society from traditional to modern in the conditions of globalization/polyconfessionality/transformation and the peculiarities of education in conditions of war and in the period of aggravation of social confrontations - from the standpoint of resistance to attempts to change the world order by force in the conditions of the clash of barbarism and civilization. Aesthetic and cultural education in the age of multiculturalism can serve as an example of social and cultural support for the development of individual skills and competencies. Aesthetic education has been known since ancient times. Support for aesthetic development can be based on a system of activities aimed at the activity mediation of knowledge, which opens up the possibility of their transformation into skills, creating favorable conditions for the formation of relevant competencies. In the age of multiculturalism and globalization, values are changing in favor of world/ western/modern ones, which are based on the observance of laws as the basis of the social order and educate socially mature, morally prepared and patriotic members of society. It is summarized that numerous definitions of the concept of “multiculturalism” can be classified into: historical and social, which shows the presence of ethnic and religious diversification in society; culturally diverse – the presence of cultural and spiritual understanding of the individual; political and economic – as a dependence on the economic and social situation; pedagogic-social-state – as a program of education in the state; globalist – as interconnected with modern processes of societies and civilizations.

The complex nature of the language communication is largely manifested in language disabilities, this resulting in the necessity of multi-aspect research on the condition of individuals with language disabilities which, in turn, belongs to the field of logopaedics. It applies especially to surdologopaedics. The object of this subdiscipline is initiating or improvement of language development in people with hearing deficiencies. Use of the interdisciplinary procedure of cochlear implantation enables the individuals who suffer from major hearing impairments to develop their hearing and language skills. For this treatment to be effective, the current stereotype, in which individuals with hearing disability are considered deaf-mute, must be abandoned. It is also applies both to the theoretical perspective, which combines the philosophical, biological, psychological and social aspects of the issue of deafness, and to the practical perspective, which covers diagnosing and implanting hearing organs, as well as pedagogic and surdologopaedic methods.

This chapter presents a qualitative analysis of the beliefs and practices of three language teachers in Thailand vis-à-vis their integration of technology in the classroom as well as their views regarding social networking site participation as a facilitative tool for instruction. The study brings together research on the identity development work of teachers and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Through the analysis of extensive teacher interview data and classroom observations, the study demonstrates how these teachers self-identify as users of technology, and how this sense of self interacts with and shapes various aspects of their teaching practice. The three teachers in this study represent a range of divergent viewpoints related to technology use and integration in the classroom, and the analysis of these viewpoints helps to illustrate the specific factors underlying how and why they choose to make pedagogic use of technology.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In today's world, integrating electronic devices into education is essential for improving learning. Extending the digital world in education has the wonderful ability to continue teaching and learning despite unforeseen setbacks. Digital utilization and the massive exchange of data spread to every industry globally. A qualified educator is willing to acquire new skills necessary for their line of work[3]. Digital technologies are widely used in every aspect of education for a variety of reasons, [1]. The requirements for instructors with regard to technological teaching and learning are evolving in a number of ways. The use of digital tools by educators to promote novel methods of instruction and learning is first and foremost required (Drent & Meelissen, 2008).In addition to trying to adequately prepare their students for employment, involvement with the subject matter, and raising the standard of instruction and educational opportunities in twenty-first-century society, teachers are also expected to help learners become more technologically literate (International Society for Technology in Education [ISTE], 2008; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation [UNESCO], 2011; Voogt & Pareja Roblin, 2010). Many efforts have demonstrated the importance of employing electronic mediums in teaching and convincing students of the need of developing a thorough grasp of a subject. This relevance extends beyond its practical use in instructional practices as well as its justification and logic.Furthermore, to function as educators, act as models for their pupils by promoting technical literacy among them and using technology in the classroom. Effective educators must thus be able to use ICT for educational purposes as well as to encourage learners' and educators' proficiency in technology. They instruct future instructors. According to Lunenberg et al. (2007) and Wright & Wilson (2007), teachers should demonstrate pedagogic behavior consistent with the pedagogical behavior they aim to encourage in their learners as said before. Using of digital skills, academic abilities, notions regarding education and instruction, and abilities in instructional design are all required for career success. Teacher trainers are crucial in helping new educators incorporate innovation into their teaching settings.

"Sustainability is not just about energy efficiency, but rather a complex and overarching multidisciplinary field that requires appropriate expertise, as well as a moral obligation and an opportunity for inspired architecture." (Almonte (ed).2012:17) Cities are collectives of buildings that "are complex socio-technical entities, embedded in a social–cultural–economic–climatic context" (Passe 2020:566). The design and development of cities and hence the quality of lives of resident communities are directly impacted by the practices of the architectural profession.Our aim with this chapter is to explore the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within architectural education with specific attention given to the architectural studio. Although there have been many actions taken and attempts made to include sustainability in architectural curricula and guidelines provided for the inclusion of the SDGs there is limited research that provides a perspective of sustainability in architectural schools globally. Our perspective is from the position of the Radically Inclusive Studio (Gorman et al.2021) which we conceptualise as part of the cities and communities and ultimately the world that we live in. The Radically Inclusive Studio is not an isolated space, but forms part of an ecosystem, defined as "a system of people, content, technology, culture, and strategy, existing both within and outside … which has an impact on both … formal and informal learning" (Eudy 2018:3), in which it supports and is simultaneously supported. We present the Radically Inclusive Studio and its structuring 6S Conceptual Framework of Inclusive Contexts (Gorman et al. in-press) as a theoretical framework for conceptually (re)organising the SDGs and for exploring the Radically Inclusive Studio principles that could serve as guidelines for sustainable development in architectural and other education. We use an integrative literature review to investigate articles, books, and other published texts with the "aim to assess, critique, and synthesize the literature ... in a way that enables new theoretical frameworks and perspectives to emerge" (Snyder 2019:335). We include sustainable architectural solutions from both practice and education to present an overview of how architectural projects address the SDGs. As authors we present aspects of our own work and we propose that the pedagogic principles of the Radically Inclusive Studio could serve as a guideline for sustainable development education.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In the contemporary society worldwide, with a dramatic change of mentality among the young generations, particularly starting from the so-called Millennials, amendments to the traditional approaches and new innovative forms of education to be designed and implemented stand as the real challenge for the teachers of any discipline, in order to provide solid support to the learners, thus contributing to their courses efficiency and to the trainees' learning success. At the trainer's disposal there are today a plethora of e-learning means, with proven impact in augmenting effectiveness of the instructional process at all levels. Therefore, in the educational setting presented here, viz. engineering students reading Computer Science at bachelor level, with English as the medium of tuition, within the English for Science and Technology - EST course, the foreign language teacher, in search for variety, novelty and successful exploitation of humour and creativity in the language class, on the basis of some new and quite popular IT 'tools', has designed and taught a cycle of activities focusing on image macros, more generically labelled as memes. Thus, the paper is meant as a strong plea for encouraging learning by setting creativity, fun and avoidance of monotony elements in the lesson. Moreover, the linguistic aspects, as well as those culture-related, are also of significance, since, in order to create memes, besides the technical skills which are compulsory, one really needs a substantial array of softer skills, such as good command of the target language, sensitivity regarding cultural differences and, last but certainly not least, a great sense of humour. Hence, the approach proposed here hypothesises that, by embedding a cycle of tasks focused on designing and discussing about such a new and popular form of social media, having multiple functions and often becoming a viral vehicle for communication, of the marketing type for instance, or for spreading opinions among the masses, the repertory of (transferable) hard and soft skills alike of the students/would-be engineers will develop, together with their chances of employability on an ever more demanding job market (inter)nationally. Consequently, the aim of the paper is a multiple one, i.e. to: (i) encourage the students to make use of their technical skills in IT, but in an original manner - by creating memes, necessarily combining them with the linguistic and even creative writing skills, which could turn into a real asset for them as future specialists, required to advertise for the products they manufacture or to socialize in professional environments; (ii) design authentic tasks that are different from the usual, sometimes repetitive, ones the learners are used to, as such activities are based, apart from the learners' technical knowledge, on the intelligent thought-provoking and laughter-generating use of the foreign language. The eclectic, communicative core approach task package is described, and the pedagogic rationale is given for the manner of sequencing them.
