{"title":"LIFELONG GUIDANCE AS A TOPICALITY FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE LIFELONG AND LIFEWIDE MULTIDIMENSIONAL CAREER DEVELOPMENT NOWADAYS","authors":"I. Katane, Edgars Katans","doi":"10.17770/eid2023.2.7354","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17770/eid2023.2.7354","url":null,"abstract":"With the development of society and the liberalisation of the labour market, a new paradigm of lifelong guidance has entered the social sciences. Nowadays public demand for lifelong guidance services outstrips availability. The aim of the study: to substantiate the lifelong guidance nowadays, highlighting the multidimensional meaning of the concept of career, including meaning of lifelong and lifewide career. Research methods: studying, analysing and evaluating scientific literature and various types of documents; reflection on experience. The research findings allow for a conclusion to be made that the paradigm of lifelong guidance is considered a new paradigm that has gained its rapid development, popularity and relevance in the 21st century . The aim of lifelong guidance is to provide career support to people of all ages at all stages of their career development in a lifelong and continuous process. Moreover, career support is necessary on a continuous basis: in moments of career success and in moments of crisis. Provision of lifelong education is the spotlight of lifelong guidance, as it is key to successful career development and a guarantee of employment. Cooperation networks of all kinds, at both interpersonal and inter-institutional level, have an important place in the lifelong guidance system, where different types of organisations and individual support providers play their part in the overarching lifelong guidance system. The wide range of functions of a lifelong guidance system goes beyond the scope of a single career counsellor or career support specialist, emphasising collaboration between different types of professionals and different organisations as providers of career support. Lifelong guidance is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary process. The offer and provision of lifelong guidance, including lifelong education, take the central place in career management nowadays. In a lifelong guidance system, providers and implementers of education of all kinds are therefore seen as important parts of the system. Today, formal and non-formal education is offered by a variety of providers: different types of educational institutions (pre-schools, schools, universities, adult learning centres), non-governmental organisations, learning organisations with a high level of knowledge management, etc. Within the framework of the new lifelong guidance paradigm, it is important to respect the multidimensional meaning of the concept of career. Drawing parallels with the explanations of lifelong education and lifewide education in the social sciences, including the educational sciences, two main trends can be identified and distinguished in the explanation of the new concepts of career and in the justification of career development in the context of contemporary society: lifelong career development and lifewide career development. There may also be a third path, a combination of the both: a lifelong and lifewide career that develops throughout","PeriodicalId":405281,"journal":{"name":"Education. Innovation.

The development of such a strategy in the majority of cases is different for every school, as evaluating several factors is required, e.g., the age of students, interests, learning needs and progress, the location and specialization of the school, etc. However, students` awareness of the necessity for individual recess strategy gains importance as well. The research aim is to investigate and clarify the possibilities and necessity of recess breaks in primary school. There are theoretical research methods and empirical research methods (students’, teachers’ and parents’ surveys), data processing and analysis methods (quantitative, graphical representation of data, data analysis using IBM SPSS v.22 predictive analytics and statistical analysis software package) used in the research. The analysis of students’ survey emphasized that students more often prefer listening to music or socializing during breaks. While parents’ questionnaire highlighted the necessity for their offsprings to spend more time outside in fresh air. They mean it would help their children to better concentrate in lessons. While teachers` survey analysis revealed that students concentration is better if students are more interested in a particular subject.","PeriodicalId":405281,"journal":{"name":"Education.

Katane","doi":"10.17770/eid2023.2.7357","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17770/eid2023.2.7357","url":null,"abstract":"We live in a changing and complex world open for potential personal development. At the same time, the Earth is moving to a new level, from a 3-dimensional to a 5-dimensional level. This process is called the quantum transition.  Nowadays career management theories are developing and changing under the influence of the quantum transition paradigm, thus the perception of career and the understanding of career have also changed. A career covers the whole life of a person and is individually driven. So, we can speak of a self-directed personal career, which is connected with finding one’s mission in life, one’s vocation. So, moving into the fourth and fifth dimensions opens up more possibilities for finding your purpose: 1) motivated individual choice; 2) career management based on that choice; 3) transition from survival to mission; 4) access to the information field of the Universe; 5) discovery of new abilities – telekinesis, teleportation, clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc. The article considers the notion of the quantum transition, career, career management and the characteristics of the Generation Z from the perspective of various authors. The analysis is carried out by assessing the data acquired on the specific features of the existent career management and the possibilities which provides the current situation for the engineers-to-be. The research aim is to study the specific features of the career management of the prospective engineers in the perspective of the quantum transition. The obtained high-level results testify that engineering students have sufficient employability potential, which largely indicates their competitiveness. The obtained low-level results indicate that the students are not yet ready to lifelong learn and develop professionally throughout his life, is not ready for changes in his chosen career, which indicates a certain inflexibility in thinking and acting. It is precisely these qualities that are very necessary in self-management of a sustainable career. This means that career support services should continue to be offered to promote career self-development and self-management under changing conditions (closely related to quantum transition theory). During the formative (pedagogical) experiment, significant and very significant changes occurred in students' self-assessments according to the following criteria: students' internal and external resources, competitiveness in the chosen profession (p value = 0.005 ... 0.018). This means that during the survey, the self-assessment of internal resources according to these indicators was influenced by the information obtained during the survey from the content of the questionnaire, which allowed for a more adequate self-assessment at the end of the experiment.","PeriodicalId":405281,"journal":{"name":"Education.

However, the role of school principal as a change leader gets increasingly emphasized as opposed to traditional principal's role of administrator or manager. \u0000This study focuses on the personal experience of school principals and interpretation of their experience, reflecting the principals' understanding of the role, nature and essence of leadership as an aspect of school management. This is a phenomenological research study. Research sample: the principals of general education schools (N=9). The aim of the study is to explore principals' understanding of what it means to be a change leader in a school, what leadership functions are prioritized, and how school principals balance their leadership functions with those of administration and management.  \u0000The data have been gathered using semi-structured interviews. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of school principal’s role as a change leader is facilitated by: 1) awareness of one's personal qualities; 2) delegation of responsibilities; 3) strengthening of the school culture and its values; 4) implementation of a personalized approach highlighting the individual abilities of each teacher in the organization; 5) strengthening of the school as a “learning organization”.","PeriodicalId":405281,"journal":{"name":"Education.

However, there is a gap in research on challenges in the implementation of online learning in institutions of higher learning. Lecturers and students' readiness for this shift from classroom-based to online learning is pivotal. The implementation of online learning strategies demands lecturers’ skills on integrating technology with content. This study examines the perceptions of lecturers as they transit from face-to-face to online learning in an institution of higher learning in one developing country. The study is framed theoretically by Suzuki and Keller's Five-E Model for selecting the right model and techniques for appropriate purposes in online design. It used a qualitative research methodology and employed a convenient sampling technique to select three lecturers from each of the three institutions of interest. An open-ended questionnaire was used to collect data and follow up interviews were made. The study used a thematic approach to analyse data. The findings reveal that the lecturers embrace online learning mostly because they are aware that students enjoy learning technology and thus enhance understanding. The challenge raised is the shortage of gadgets which are needed by lecturers to support blended learning. Also, some of the students do not have access to the internet due to socio-economic challenges.","PeriodicalId":405281,"journal":{"name":"Education. Innovation.

The type of research used in this research is library research. The data in this research is in the form of previous research reports published in journals. This research uses national or international journal articles with publication years in the last 5 years (2017-2023). Overall, there were 14 journal articles studied that were relevant to the research topic. Among the 14 journal articles obtained, there were 10 journal articles indexed by Scopus. The results of the research show that (1) the application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in higher education is by applying the 3 principles of UDL, namely: (a) application of the principle of representation through face-to-face learning, online learning, teaching using lecture methods, discussions, sheets work, delivering material using graphics, video, text, or images, as well as using e-books, (b) applying the principles of action and expression by giving students the freedom to choose how to express their understanding, either verbally, written, hardcopy, or softcopy, (c ) application of the principle of involvement by creating a comfortable learning environment, frequently interacting with students, carrying out group discussions, and using assistive applications (mind tap, clicker, moodle), (2) the obstacle faced by universities in implementing UDL is the large number of students in classes, lack of knowledge and awareness about UDL among teachers and school officials, and lack of time for teachers to apply UDL in learning, lack of interest and motivation in learning. Applying and studying UDL, (3) the solution to overcome the obstacles faced by universities in implementing UDL is to hold training on UDL for teachers and school officials, this training can be in the form of an orientation program or workshop, another solution to overcome the problem of lack of motivation for teachers To adopt and learn UDL is to provide motivation in the form of rewards to teachers who are interested in learning more about UDL.","PeriodicalId":405281,"journal":{"name":"Education.

The study aims to determine the public’s proficiency or competence in the Latvian sign language. The research revealed people’s basic knowledge of Latvian sign language grammar, their ability to communicate and understand deaf people, their attitudes and opinions about the process, and the necessity of learning sign language. Information was studied in four blocks of questions: society’s attitude towards deaf sign language, society’s knowledge of deaf sign language, communication skills with a deaf person, and opinion on the development of deaf sign language and its necessity. The sample of the study is 500 respondents, who represent the opinion of the population between the ages of 16 and 60, observing the socio-demographic parameters of the target group of the study. An empirical research method was used in the study; to collect data, an electronic survey was conducted. In general, the study confirms that society shows a positive attitude towards Latvian sign language as a means of communication for deaf people. At the same time, the data reveal poor knowledge of sign language and its grammar. It was concluded that not only sociological research is needed on public perceptions of deaf sign language, but also various educational events for the rest of society should be promoted, including seminars, courses, and conferences.","PeriodicalId":405281,"journal":{"name":"Education.
