The Prior work of the upskilling survey serves the aspect that society is becoming more individualistic and less predictable in terms of educational opportunities. It is the biggest challenge in the organization of continuing education for adults to achieve their interest and benefits for larger target groups by taking into account their individual situations. The approach of the panel study series, which has been published annually since 2019, is based in its 2021 edition on a partially standardized questionnaire of 2000 participants, in which 10 countries were represented. Each European, African, Asian, or South American country participated with 200 respondents each. The results show that digitization is playing an increasing role in the acceptance of continuing education because nowadays teaching with flexible teaching via online teaching is the clear preference. The implications of this upskilling study are that a large proportion of respondents are looking for personal fulfillment as a basis for professional change. Not the primary perspective on job openings is relevant in education because skills and individualistic preferences lead to a change of sectors or a higher position being achieved. The value of the paper lies in the proof of the connection that remote-controlled and flexible continuing education courses are an opportunity to integrate personal and professional development into the everyday life of modern and individual society.","PeriodicalId":359774,"journal":{"name":"– The IAFOR Conference on Educational Research and Innovation: 2022 Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125211645","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}

Integrating educational robotics into the classroom has been shown to increase student perceptions of STEM topics while also having many other positive learning benefits such as increased mastery of STEM concepts and STEM degree achievement. Furthermore, research on mindset in school-aged children found that students who held growth mindset beliefs had higher learning outcomes, persistence, and self-esteem compared to students who held fixed mindset beliefs. In this observational study, an educational robotics curriculum was implemented across grades 3–8 in an urban private school consisting primarily of underserved, minority students. The same robotics kit was used across all ages with differentiation in the STEM labs taught to different ages. The technology teacher—the principal investigator for this study—recorded results from a growth mindset survey and journaled about student reactions to the robotics curriculum as the school year progressed. Observations about student prior experience, attitudes, self-beliefs, and mastery are used to draw insights on the effects of educational robotics for underserved student populations. As the body of research on STEM learning through educational robotics expands and robotics increasingly becomes considered a standard in primary and secondary education, it is critical to consider the needs of students encountering robotics for the first time and how to support and grow their attitudes and mindsets. experience with robotics. Through observation and journaling, patterns emerged related to student mindset on ability. This study aims to provide initial findings on mindsets of traditionally underserved students through a brief survey as well as an analysis of the teacher’s observations. As studies have found that mindsets are meaningful for minority and low-income students (Aronson et al., 2002; Claro et al., 2016), investigating how the students at STBCA perceive their ability when introduced to educational robotics can provide insights into future practices to benefit students.","PeriodicalId":359774,"journal":{"name":"– The IAFOR Conference on Educational Research and Innovation: 2022 Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122402845","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}

However, with the development of global Internet technology, people read newspapers and magazines less than before. Therefore, the value of print ads declined significantly after 2008. On the other hand, in 2016, the proportion of watching videos online surpassed that of watching TV in Taiwan for the first time, and mobile Internet has become the most common media for Taiwanese consumers. To let the new generation pay continuous attention to social issue advertisements, new technologies must be combined to enhance the value content of advertisements. This study is based on the fact that the population of some animals in Taiwan is decreasing, and they are even on the verge of extinction. Therefore, it is necessary to promote ecological conservation. The experiment process includes literature discussion, case studies on the ecological conservation poster works of the World Wide Fund for Nature, and the illustration works of three ukiyo-e-style artists. Finally, combine AR technology to design an AR advertisement for Taiwan's conservation animals. The results of this study show that the advertising environment evolves with the development of MarTech’s thinking and model, and advertising is everywhere. AR advertising with interactivity and immersion is gradually gaining consumers popularity. Social issue AR advertising uses text, images, and space to connect with the real world and it creates value to attract consumers willing to participate. It is effective in promoting the importance of ecological conservation and arousing people's awareness of ecological conservation. : This method causes an image to distort and transform under specific conditions, thereby creating a visual illusion.

Teachers from different cultural experiences, states, and countries communicate and reflect on educational topics. The purpose of this study was to explore how nine K-12 teachers’ levels of participation on Twitter influenced their reflection on pedagogical practices. The conceptual framework was based on a depth of reflection model and Fischer’s richer ecologies of participation model. The data were collected from interviews, reflective journals, and teachers' Tweets. Then, two levels of coding (a priori coding and emergent codes) were applied to analyze the data collected. The results showed how teachers participated on Twitter and the different levels of participation. The levels of participation included the following teachers’ roles: lurkers, contributors, consumers, curators, meta-designers, or moderators. The teachers' Tweets about building professional identity, exchanging ideas, learning new skills, and professional connectedness were also described and analyzed. Teachers’ connectedness on Twitter showed a depth of reflection among the following levels: critical reflection, reflection, understanding, and non-reflective/ descriptive. The study can help districts and school administrators to evaluate the power of teachers' tweets on social media as a tool for personal growth, professional engagement, and learning.","PeriodicalId":359774,"journal":{"name":"– The IAFOR Conference on Educational Research and Innovation: 2022 Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124169818","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}

Are the same populations considered disabled in each system? Which, if any, disabled people receive special education services? American culture veers sharply towards individualism and in the classroom emphasis is often placed on preparing for standardized assessments of academic achievement. In contrast, Japanese public education focuses initially on developing the classroom as a unit and creating a strong community in which children are not othered for their differences, positive or negative, before the more competitive academic years begin. Particular attention is paid to the Japanese phenomenon of hikikomori, teenagers and young adults who have undergone voluntary withdrawal from society, as well as the increased diagnosis rate of ADHD in the US, two circumstances that appear to be highly culturally specific.","PeriodicalId":359774,"journal":{"name":"– The IAFOR Conference on Educational Research and Innovation: 2022 Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128955808","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}

Frequently, faculty have limited time to engage in research activities, and one of the strategies is to integrate empirical research into the teaching component. The purpose of this two-fold qualitative study was to generate creative learning environment characteristics and an adaptable prototype while engaging students in undergraduate research. The study took place at CIDA accredited interior design department, at American University in Dubai in the United Arabs Emirates. Two sections of twenty-two undergraduate Interior Design students in junior level studio voluntarily participated in the study led by two course instructors. The first step was to introduce the project and its relevance, and to provide background knowledge. Herman Miller Research Center contributed with contents and resources. Students participated in a variety of data gathering. Based on the analysis of the data, spatial layouts were elaborated, facilitating the faculty’s definition of creative learning environment characteristics and adaptable prototypes, shaped as regular modular forms allowing further module addition as the learning identity and its needs grow. As a creative learning environment needs to accommodate a variety of learners and adapt to different learning topologies (Hoy, 2013), three major characteristics were identified: flexibility; comfort and wellbeing; and technology.

We see examples from empirical literature of how cycling supports female health and empowerment, how cycling improves quality of life for people with cognitive and physical disabilities, how cycling increases health equality among people of color, and how cycling can combat ageism. Overall, a cycle of health, body autonomy, quality of life, and education work together to support equality in minority groups. . A prime example of this is seen in the history of the bicycle. Not only is this tool for exercise used for promoting positive physical and mental health outcomes, but also in increasing the quality of life. This quality of life does not only refer to the improvement of physiological and psychological outcomes but also changes in the ability of the individual to participate equally in society as their counterparts (i.e., men, people without disabilities). This is seen with the suffragettes riding bicycles to promote the right for women to vote or individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders utilizing cycling as a life-long leisure skill. This paper argues that through utilizing means of accessible physical activity (i.e., the bicycle) minority populations are able to find more equality within society through transportation, physical and mental health, and education.","PeriodicalId":359774,"journal":{"name":"– The IAFOR Conference on Educational Research and Innovation: 2022 Official Conference Proceedings","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123592335","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}

Thematic analysis was used to process data gathered from the interviews. Key results were help-seeking can come from both informal (family and friends) and professional help (counselors, psychologists), one’s outlook towards help-seeking can be connected to the individual’s decision to seek help and quality of support system is evident in the process of help-seeking, from problem recognition to decision to seek help. Hence, help-seeking behavior is an important psychological process to understand to effectively deliver counseling services and advocate progressive mental health programs in our universities and counseling centers.

Data analysis revealed that neoliberal principles inform the teaching of economics and that on their own, these principles are sound. Accordingly, this ideology should not be criticised for causing economic and social hardships because the real danger to society is inequality and unemployment , these are the defining economic challenges faced by many societies today.
