Researchers are continuously concerned about ways to intervene cognitive and communicative decline in older adults. In fact, many of the symptoms associated with aging seem to resemble early childhood development issues like limited mobility, and poor communication (Matteson, et al., 2007). With this in mind, there are a number of questions about the relationship between early development and later stages in the life span that merit consideration, such as what is the connection between these widely separated stages in life, and could it be possible to use these similarities and differences to raise awareness on the learning potential of older adults specifically? This study, therefore, emphasizes researching the effects of enhancing communicative and cognitive ability during later adulthood, as well as bringing awareness to families, staff, and administrators of elder care homes on methods that support older individuals. This idea gives rise to further queries, such as why the abilities of older adults fluctuate to varying degrees as they age. To answer these questions, a systematic review was conducted to explore the interplay between socio-emotional, environmental, physical health, and nutrition in the development and maintenance of language and cognitive skills. As such, the findings in this study indicated that learning in each of these developmental stages depends on many of the same characteristics. Awareness of these factors may help older adults address loneliness and social isolation in nursing and assisted living facilities. With the expanding focus on multigenerational learning, this work adds to a growing body of research that emphasizes learning across the life span","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75416829","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}

{"title":"WHAT INFLUENCE DID A DESIGN THINKING, CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING WORKSHOP HAVE ON BEGINNER STUDENT TEACHERS?","authors":"Karen McGivern","doi":"10.36315/2023v1end033","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2023v1end033","url":null,"abstract":"The marketisation of education, globalisation, and the requirement for continuous economic growth, have positioned creativity and innovation as essential components of 21st century education. Creative approaches to learning have been shown to support well-being and promote a culture of continuous improvement which in turn, support the development of prosperous and sustainable, digital economies (OECD, 2019). In terms of teacher education then, creativity and innovation are now regarded as core skills for all teachers (Henriksen et al., 2021). If these skills are seen as being fundamental to societal development, they must therefore be nurtured as a key component of professional learning for teachers. Using a mixed methods approach, this study aims to explore ways in which creative and innovative mindsets can be fostered in student teachers as part of their initial teacher education. Questionnaires and focus groups were used to collect data. Firstly, a first-year cohort of Primary and Post Primary student teachers (n= 118 ) attended an introduction to design thinking and creative problem-solving, 3-hour workshop with the objective of enhancing their creative problem-solving and innovative skills in preparation for school placement. Secondly, a collaborative podcast project with students and lecturers was developed to enhance students’ learning experiences and foster creativity. Thirdly, following their school placement, further data were collected to address the extent to which the participants implemented some of the workshop initiatives during their placement. Preliminary findings suggest that the revised approach to teaching and learning can encourage creative, critical thinking and increase student confidence as they develop their competence and practice as teachers. In addition, the data suggest that students favour the more andragogical approach employed in the workshops and podcast development as opposed to traditional, pedagogical modes of teaching and learning. The research provides a strong platform to embed a culture of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication, and in doing so, establish and build collaborative partnerships between education, business and community.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78998199","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}

According to the official data from the Ministry of Education in Croatia, there are 148,233 students in the first four classes, wherein 9,879 (6,7%) students in composite classrooms classes. In combined, i.e. split-year classes, students are heterogeneous with regard to their age and abilities. Due to the nature of instruction that is complex, teachers need to be creative in the teaching methodology as well as in organizing overall lessons. Artistic subjects (music and visual arts) represent specific educational fields, and they are taught by class teachers in the first four grades of primary school. The goal of this work was to examine how primary education teachers conduct combined instruction in the artistic fields of music and visual arts with regard to age-diverse class composition. Besides, the advantages and drawbacks of such work and challenges teachers are faced with were also investigated. The research was conducted in 2023. Teachers working in two-, three-and four-year combinations participated in the study. The qualitative research method was applied, i.e. participants were interviewed in order to gain specific information, that is, a more in-depth insight into the work in combined classrooms within artistic fields. In their interview, female teachers underlined the beauty and challenge of such work with regard to peer mentoring, tolerance and mutual appreciation. The drawbacks of working in combined classes are connected to the organisation of teaching (planned and effective time use).","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79433953","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}

Entrepreneurship is defined through the entrepreneurial process, which begins with the recognition and action of an entrepreneurial opportunity and ends with the implementation of a new idea. In the development of entrepreneurship competence, the assessment of the development of cognitive and social skills is difficult and novel in the field due to the abundance of entrepreneurship sub-competences and their different starting points. The purpose of the study is to create and validate a test to assess the knowledge and attitudes of basic school students about entrepreneurship. 19 Estonian basic schools of different locations and sizes participated in the test. The test was taken by 616 students who were divided into 3rd grade (N=326) and 6th grade (N=290) students. The test contains special types of tasks, e.g., multiple-choice tasks, each answer of which provides information about the learner's knowledge or attitude about at least one entrepreneurial sub-competency. There were three tasks in the test to measure each sub-competency. The tasks (N=34) were divided into multiple-choice situational tasks and self-directed tasks. The entrepreneurial sub-competences were: (1) self-efficacy, (2) motivation and risk-taking, (3) economic and financial literacy, (4) planning and management skills, (5) sustainable thinking, (6) community initiative, (7) environmental awareness and ethical thinking, (8) teamwork, (9) valuing ideas and opportunities, (10) vision and creativity. As a result, the tasks measuring sub-competences were divided into three categories: ideas and opportunities, resources and into action. As the main results of the study, the responses of the 3rd and 6th grade students differed, and it was found that the 3rd grade students achieved the best results on the tasks categorized according to the self-efficacy dimension and the lowest results in tasks measuring economic mindset competences. In contrast, 6th graders achieved the best results in tasks assessing ideas and opportunities and the worst results resources mobilization in tasks. As a result of the study, a test was prepared and validated, which enables the evaluation of sub-competences in entrepreneurship. As a result of the purposeful assessment of the sub-competences of entrepreneurial competence, there is an opportunity to develop entrepreneurial competence in the 3rd and 6th grades.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85707708","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 lesson plan maps out the route that the teacher intends to take in the classroom. At teacher education institutions, student teachers are capacitated to master the skills of lesson planning and the skill of lesson presentation. The aim of this study was to investigate why there is no synergy between the student teachers’ lesson plans and lesson presentations during teaching practice. Students map out their teaching on a lesson plan, but what they do in the classroom is not a reflection of the lesson plan itself. As a result, the researchers sought to investigate the reasons for this lack of synergy between the lesson plan and the actual lesson presentation. This qualitative research was conducted through semi-structured interviews. A sample of 20 B.Ed. degree student teachers who are in their third year of study were purposefully selected. The findings revealed that most students do not have high regard for lesson planning. The assessment rubric used to evaluate student teachers’ teaching competence during teaching practice does not point out any aspects of the lesson plan. Again, student teachers are unsure of how to implement some of the aspects of the lesson plan template, among others identification of prior learning, values, and attitudes, assessment strategies, and expanded opportunities. The study highlighted the need to put more emphasis on the importance of the lesson plan and implementation thereof. It was also recommended that more marks be allocated for the lesson plan on the assessment rubric.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82088694","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}

Despite a growing interest in inclusion in education, personality has been overlooked as a possible source of exclusion. In this study we identified children who self-reported low levels of extraversion and/or high levels of neuroticism (tendency to worry) as personality traits and then observed them working in small group collaborative learning situations. Using social network analysis (SNA) as a way of understanding the group interactions, we employed a novel measure of degree centrality (influence) and coupled this with a qualitative analysis of the nature of the group interactions, establishing a genuinely mixed methods social network analysis (Froehlich et al., 2020). Findings suggest that low levels of extraversion and/or high levels of neuroticism can be, but are not always associated with lower levels of participation and that a range of other factors, notably the personality traits of the other children, affect participation. These findings could be used to suggest ways that teachers could employ more personality-sensitive pedagogies.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87106659","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}
