However, there are few studies that treat the subject of how online schooling has affected students. The main objective of this research is to compare the manner in which the teaching-learning-evaluation process has been carried out for both gymnasium students and highschoolers during the pre-pandemic, pandemic and post-pandemic period and to analyze how this process has changed for the students and how digital technologies are useful. The used research method is the focus-group in a private high school from a large Romanian City, Bucharest, the Capital City of Romania. During the group interview, a structured interview with three essential parts has been used. The present research is structured into four sections. The first section presented the context in which digital technology has entered students lives and how they have adapted to the changes, the second section presents a list of good practices used by teachers and the third section contains the results of the focus-group. The last section is composed of conclusions and recommendations over the main results. The results of this study show that students appreciate the use of new digital technologies in the teaching-learning-evaluation process, and even if they returned to physical classes, teachers must continue to integrate digital resources and tools into their activities. Since all the participating students to the focus-group come from a private high-school, carrying out a similar study on a public school group, there could be major differences in the results obtained. The implications of this study are useful to both teachers, that may pick up examples of good practices, and students. In conclusion, the present study presents the lives of students during the pre-pandemic, pandemic and post-pandemic period and highlights the changes they have been trough and how the technology helped.","PeriodicalId":132012,"journal":{"name":"Education and New Developments 2023 – Volume 2","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130052591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Verticalization refers to teaching at two levels on the courses that encompasses technical professional teaching at secondary level and higher education, according to the demands of each region. Considering the character of this new structure, this research aimed at examining the working conditions of teachers, and the processes of professionalization, as well as different configurations of the teaching career and professionality that result from the reorganization of the federal institutions of professional education. A qualitative methodological approach was employed, involving extensive gathering of document data and empirical research with the application of questionnaires and interviews with teachers from two campuses, one in the state of Bahia, and one from São Paulo. The theoretical concepts were taken from classic and contemporary authors of the areas of sociology and education. The analyses of the verticalization of teaching promoted by the Federal Institutes allowed us to identify three simultaneous and dialectic movements. One of professionalization, which takes place through the structuring of the career and increase in professional recognition; one of deprofessionalization, characterized by the intensification of work and destabilizing of identitarian references; and other of reprofessionalization, issuing from the peculiarities of the career and from the creation of new structures of teaching work at the two levels of teaching. This context of changes has engendered dialectically a process of reprofessionalization, in the sense of developing a new professionality of teaching.","PeriodicalId":132012,"journal":{"name":"Education and New Developments 2023 – Volume 2","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132873463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aims to highlight the importance of the educational project both in the initiation of students into the secrets of the Romanian language, at which point the 60 students grouped in 6 teams will have to draw up lists of the most common words they need both in the academic environment and in the socio-cultural one. The lists will be exchanged between the teams, and at the end of the two months of the project, they will create a dictionary of the foreign student in Romania. In the second semester, the same teams will create, based on the dictionary created as an educational project in the first semester, a guide for adapting to a foreign country for students everywhere.

The fact that different states ruled in the island throughout its history has left a variety of traces in social, cultural, economic and political life. Due to the background of Cyprus, which goes deep into history, it is possible to see the different characteristics of the powers that ruled there, especially the traces of the education policies formulated by the British, who held the administration of the island in the 19th and 20th centuries, among the islanders today. Cyprus, one of the former British colonies with prolonged conflicts resulting in geopolitical division, has unique cultural characteristics compared to other British colonies (in Africa and Asia). In addition, it is seen as a place where different colonial policies were applied, since the political structure greatly influenced the educational structures and practices after the British period. The education system in Cyprus has always been intertwined with changing political developments both at home and abroad. In this island with two different ethnic groups which is governed from outside, education system inevitably became the reflection of debates and disagreements. As a result, in addition to being an effective institution where political outlooks and interests are reflected, education should be considered as one of the mechanisms through which governments can be successful in the post-conflict period. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explain the importance of peace education in a post-conflict environment, in the light of the foreign language education policies pursued in Cyprus from past to present, and to define a few strategies that post-conflict societies can implement. This study is based on the qualitative analysis of governmental archives and empirical studies taking into consideration political developments at the focus of foreign language education policy. As a result, education in conflict-affected situations is more than providing services to the community. Because it is a means of socialization and identity development through transmitting knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes across generations. Education can hence be both a driver of conflict and a way to contribute to conflict transformation and peacebuilding.","PeriodicalId":132012,"journal":{"name":"Education and New Developments 2023 – Volume 2","volume":"PP 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126420813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Economic competitiveness is generally seen as a valid index to judge a country’s economic prosperity level. Several studies emphasize that, against the backdrop of a growing and highly globalized and competitive world economy, a competitiveness strategy oriented towards technological science and innovation is critical for increasing the competitiveness of countries and achieving long-term sustainable growth [Chankseliani & McCowan, 2021); (Doğan, 2016)]. Thus, one of the most important and differentiating indicators of a nation’s success is the qualification of its population, which is reflected in the degree of sophistication, decision-making ability, and strategic vision of its leaders and elites. Education, skills, labour efficiency and technological innovation are key aspects of economic development, leading to greater competitiveness and better capacity to create wealth in the economy and higher income levels. Based on the Global Competitiveness Index developed by the World Economic Forum, focusing on the evolutionary behaviour of a group of 40 countries (top 20 most competitive and the European Union countries), between 2008 and 2017, this paper aims to determine whether a correlation can be established between the competitiveness of countries and the education and training indicators of societies. The results reveal that, to different degrees, there is a quantifiable relationship between education and training (during the active life) of the labour factor and the competitiveness of economies, which will be reflected in the level of development of nations, the creation of wealth, and the establishment of high and sustainable levels of social welfare.","PeriodicalId":132012,"journal":{"name":"Education and New Developments 2023 – Volume 2","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116683298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is widespread agreement that regions and countries that are better endowed in terms of human capital tend to grow more and be more resilient. This paper aims to analyse the pivotal role that education will play in the growth and development of Ukraine in the post-conflict period. The accumulated learning losses caused by the pandemic have been greatly exacerbated by the current conflict, with persistent effects on learning. Following Ukraine's application for membership in the European Union, a reflection is required on the level of education in the country and the need to converge with European averages once the conflict is over. The methodology used is the analysis of the main education indicators used by the World Bank, OECD, and the European Union, as well as the latest PISA Report, to assess the relationship between quality in education and economic growth. The comparison of statistical data with the European Union shows the shortcomings of an education system that will have to be strengthened.
