Designing and coordinating a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) within the framework of ENLIGHT and based on the Challenge Based Education (CBE) pedagogical model - where students face challenges in collaboration with social agents - is a big challenge that requires a large dose of creativity, the same that is asked of students.

In this presentation we want to share the experience of the ENLIGHT BIP “Connecting Cultures: Sustainability, Travel, Translation and Migration”, whose first edition was organized in spring 2024 and whose on-site week took place at the University of the Basque Country. We will have a look behind the scenes, at the black box: How did it come about and get started? How did it develop? What impact did it have on the students' learning process and on the teachers' teaching experience?

In the context of a rapidly changing world, higher education institutions are pivotal in fostering creativity and innovation among students. Our presentation focuses on a BIP that integrates challenge-based learning with intercultural collaboration, aimed at promoting sustainable development through cultural transfer. Understanding the ways in which cultures interact, influence and transform one another is crucial for fostering sustainable and inclusive societies. By examining the processes of travel, translation, and migration, this BIP gives students the opportunity to gain insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by cultural encounters and exchanges. It provides them a framework for analyzing the complexities of cultural interactions and their implications for sustainable development.

About thirty master's and doctoral students, from the universities of Galway, Tartu, Uppsala, Gent, Bratislava, Groningen and the Basque Country participated in the course, representing an impressive linguistic and cultural diversity. They engaged in critical discussions, case studies, and collaborative projects to deepen their understanding of the complex relationships between travel, translation, migration and sustainable development. During the on-site week, students applied the acquired knowledge through a challenge-based learning process focusing on cultural transfers linked to SDG achievements. The challenges were linked to the research interests of the participants and were formulated in collaboration with different socio-cultural agents. At the end of the on-site week, a two-day research seminar was organized and became the setting where the students of the course presented the actions they had designed and discussed their proposals with the agents, the teaching staff and several international experts.

After a short presentation of this particular BIP, the audience will be taken through an interactive debate, to discuss the ways in which teachers, agents and students have tried to resolve the obstacles and difficulties, the ways in which they have tried to solve the challenges they faced at the level of organization, coordination, pedagogical design, multilingual interaction, etc. The ultimate objective, however, is not so much to analyze this specific case in depth, but rather to explore other alternatives together. It is about promoting a learning community around CBE-based BIPs within the framework of ENLIGHT.

In fact, the presentation will also be a strategic occasion to present the University of the Basque Country’s Living Lab CBE i3lab that wants to identify and bring together around the laboratory people and research and innovation groups that experiment or research around CBE. The debate that will be generated around the presentation is intended to be a kind of springboard that allows progress towards that objective.

In the research, we focus on the issue of creativity in school classrooms, especially on the connection between creativity in students and their teachers. The work aims to find whether there is a statistically significant connection between the variables or if the variables are related. The Torrance Figural Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and its subtest - Repeated Figures - are used to measure creativity. The research sample in our research consists of 104 students from the ages of 10 to 12 and 11 teachers. In the results, we found that the relationship between students' creativity and the creativity of their teachers is not statistically significant.

Konference Média a vzdělávání byla zorganizována letos již podruhé. Můžeme proto do určité míry posoudit, zda je o ní zájem ze strany organizátorů, vědeckých garantů a hlavně účastníků.

Esta proposta de comunicação oral busca retomar os relatos publicados em dois artigos, em que se descrevem duas experiências de observação de práticas de ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa no contexto de educação básica na Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo. No primeiro artigo, intitulado “Gêneros do telejornalismo escolar: práticas de ensino-aprendizagem com produções multimodais no ensino remoto” (Silva Rocha, 2022), descreve-se uma experiência de observação de prática didático-pedagógica por meio da produção colaborativa de textos multimodais em meio virtual. No segundo artigo, intitulado “Multiliteracies and Theatrical Education: experience with English as an Additional Language Teaching at a Public School” (Silva Rocha, 2024), descreve-se uma experiência de observação de prática didático-pedagógica por meio da produção colaborativa de um texto multimodal em meio físico. A partir de uma aproximação comparativa das experiências relatadas nas referidas publicações, procura-se estabelecer as especificidades para cada um dos contextos de atendimento aos estudantes da referida rede de ensino: práticas didático-pedagógicas, gêneros textuais e seus respectivos suportes e materiais, bem como formato de comunicação com os alunos em meio virtual e no atendimento presencial. Conclui-se, a partir dessas observações, que, no intuito de tornar o ensino-aprendizagem de línguas mais significativo, tanto em uma modalidade de atendimento escolar como em outra, o relator dessas experiências buscou, por meio da pedagogia de projetos (Bender, 2014; Jordão, 2014), do ensino da multimodalidade (New London Group, 1996; Cope & Kalantzis, 2022) e da definição de uma audiência para essas produções textuais colaborativas, exercitar uma educação linguística que compreendesse a comunicação enquanto prática social.

Η ανάπτυξη διαδικτυακών ψηφιακών εργαλείων στην εκπαίδευση από το 2019 εξαιτίας της πανδημίας του COVID-19 έδωσε το έναυσμα για την καθιέρωση της παιχνιδοποίησης (gamification) ως μέσο για την καλύτερη και αποδοτικότερη κατανόηση της διδαχθείσας ύλης. Σ’ αυτό το πλαίσιο αναπτύχθηκαν με πιο έντονο ρυθμό τα ψηφιακά δωμάτια απόδρασης. Στην παρούσα εργασία θα εξετάσουμε τι είναι ένα δωμάτιο απόδρασης, αλλά και τι είναι ένα ψηφιακό δωμάτιο απόδρασης, θα μελετήσουμε το θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο πίσω από την κατασκευή και δημιουργία αυτών των δωματίων, θα παρουσιάσουμε πως κατασκευάστηκαν τρία ψηφιακά δωμάτια απόδρασης για το μάθημα των Θρησκευτικών και εν συνεχεία θα προβάλλουμε τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνάς μας στους μαθητές που εφαρμόστηκε αυτή η τεχνική αξιολόγησης. Η έρευνα που πραγματοποιήθηκε μεταξύ των μαθητών όλων των τάξεων και τμημάτων του Γυμνασίου Σορωνής Ρόδου θα καταδείξει ότι τα ψηφιακά δωμάτια απόδρασης μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν ως εναλλακτικά μέσα αξιολόγησης των μαθημάτων και βελτιώνουν σημαντικά τόσο το κλίμα της τάξης όσο και το ενδιαφέρον των μαθητών για το μάθημα.

One of the key components of effective Science education is the conduct of inquiry-based laboratory activities which support and reinforce concepts, theories and laws learned in the classroom. This descriptive-correlational study aimed to describe the Science laboratory interest and preferences of teacher education students and their implications to Science teaching via a questionnaire. Data gathered were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted means and t-test for correlated samples. Results showed that students have very high interest in laboratory activities. They revealed in the interview that doing laboratory activities make them work and discover things on their own, enhance their skills, don’t limit their explorations, make them feel excited and very eager, let them discover a lot about things, and create in them a deeper sense of learning whenever they perform. Students generally prefer structured (steps are given) and actual (handson) lab activities using commercial ...

Academic writing has been a widely substantial course in higher education as it plays a vital role in cultivating students’ academic writing skills. Drawing on qualitative descriptive study, this study aims to explore the fundamental requirements for academic writing to base the creation of an effective learning framework. Data consisted of teaching materials, semester learning plan (SLP), assessment tools, and guidelines for academic writing from three universities in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. Findings reveal that learning materials and the SLP have both strengths and weaknesses. Despite these, there is diversity in learning and assessment methods. Adopted teaching methods encompass project-based learning, problem solving, and lectures, while learning assessment includes portfolio techniques, project assessment, and written exams. These findings provide insight into the imperative of academic writing in the academic setting. This serves as a basis for the development of more effective learning methods. Thus, the proposed model for academic writing adopts a project-based approach to improve students’ writing by integrating indigenous wisdom to promote students' character development.

The current study aimed to investigate the effect of the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) strategy on developing thinking skills among seventh-grade students in the science subject, unit (motion and force). To achieve this goal, the experimental method with a pre-post design for one group was used. The study sample consisted of 32 students. The research tools were a thinking skills scale in the following dimensions: flexible thinking, thinking about thinking, thinking and communicating clearly). The research found the following results: that the use of the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving strategy led to an improvement and enhancement of thinking skills among seventh-grade students in the science subject, as shown by the statistically significant tests. However, the Black's modified gain percentage indicates that the level of improvement did not reach the minimum acceptable level (1.2) according to Black's standard. In light of the results, the research presented several recommendations and suggestions, including: using technological tools to support the implementation of the TAPPS strategy, creating a classroom environment that encourages free and critical thinking, and conducting more studies on the effect of the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) strategy on different variables other than those included in the current study.

A focus on language based on empirical research and field practices in management and organizational research has already been advocated (Alvesson & Karreman, 2000). However, only a handful of management and organizational studies have demonstrated reflective ways to investigate language usage in day-to-day managerial interaction. Accessibility to empirical business interaction data limits opportunities for researchers to explore any detailed examination of language and management. This article suggests simulated discussion as a way to overcome these limitations. It shows an example of a linguistic research approach using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to understand one aspect of managerial behavior leadership in simulated decisionmaking interaction.

El dibujo es una forma de comunicación no verbal que constituye la principal vía de transmisión de las ideas de los arquitectos a la sociedad.

Μέσα στο αδιάκοπα εναλλασσόμενο τοπίο της διαγλωσσικής επικοινωνίας, η ορολογία και η διαχείρισή της συνεχίζουν να κατέχουν κεντρική θέση. Συγκεκριμένα, η αύξηση του όγκου των ψηφιακών ορολογικών δεδομένων και η ανάγκη για ορθή χρήση, ταξινόμηση και επαναχρησιμοποίησή τους, καθιστά τη διαχείριση ορολογίας αναπόσπαστη συνιστώσα κάθε μεταφραστικού έργου, εκχωρώντας στον επαγγελματία μεταφραστή αρμοδιότητες ορολόγου.
Στόχος του παρόντος πονήματος είναι να παρουσιάσει τη διαχείριση της ορολογίας στο εσωτερικό της επαγγελματικής μετάφρασης, υπό το πρίσμα της εκπαίδευσης των μελλοντικών μεταφραστών. Για το σκοπό αυτό, αναπτύσσονται ισομερώς θεωρητικά και πρακτικά ζητήματα που άπτονται της διαχείρισης ορολογίας ενώ προτείνεται μια σύγχρονη εκπαιδευτική προσέγγιση του συγκεκριμένου γνωστικού αντικειμένου σε ακαδημαϊκά περιβάλλοντα.
Υπό αυτή την έννοια, το βιβλίο απευθύνεται τόσο στους επαγγελματίες της διαγλωσσικής επικοινωνίας, όσο και στους ερευνητές στα πεδία των επιστημών της μεταφρασεολογίας, της ορολογίας αλλά και της γλωσσολογίας. Θα μπορούσε επίσης να φανεί χρήσιμο σε εκπαιδευτές μεταφραστών και διερμηνέων, οι οποίοι θα βρουν σε αυτό μεθοδολογικές αρχές και πρακτικές εφαρμογές, εύκολα μεταθέσιμες σε διαφορετικά εκπαιδευτικά περιβάλλοντα. Κυρίως όμως απευθύνεται στις φοιτήτριες και τους φοιτητές των τμημάτων Ξένων Γλωσσών και Φιλολογιών, Διαπολιτισμικής Επικοινωνίας ή Μετάφρασης, καθώς παρουσιάζει με τρόπο αναλυτικό και συστηματικό μια μεθοδολογία διαχείρισης της ορολογίας, η οποία μπορεί να αξιοποιηθεί κατά τη μεταφραστική πρακτική σε ποικίλα θεματικά πεδία.

This study investigates sustainable project management practices in Kenyan secondary schools, aiming to assess awareness, implementation, and perceived impact among educators, administrators, and students. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research involved quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, achieving a response rate of 97% from 60 participants across six schools. The findings revealed a high level of awareness of sustainability practices (83.3%), with waste management and energy conservation as the most commonly implemented initiatives. Correlation and regression analyses indicated significant relationships between awareness, stakeholder involvement, and perceived impact, suggesting that increased awareness can enhance the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives. Qualitative data highlighted the challenges faced, including limited resources and insufficient community engagement, while also emphasizing the positive influence of sustainability practices on student behavior and school culture. The study concludes that while there is a strong commitment to sustainability in Kenyan secondary schools, further training for teachers and greater community involvement are necessary for sustained success. Recommendations include enhancing professional development, promoting student leadership in sustainability efforts, and securing funding for projects. The findings contribute valuable insights into the current state of sustainability initiatives in education, providing a foundation for future research and practice.

Sekolah Alam Purwakarta (SAP) is a school that integrates the pillars of faith, knowledge, leadership, and entrepreneurship. In the teaching and learning process, SAP not only emphasizes the achievement of academic goals but also on the development of life skills. In addition, SAP uses a national curriculum which is developed so that the universe and local potentials become learning resources, learning media, and classrooms. During the Covid-19 pandemic, almost all pre-school level student learning was carried out at home with guidance in the form of assignments prepared by the facilitator. Each task given aims to develop students' cognitive, motoric, or affective. In order to achieve this goal, each given task needs to be accompanied by a good explanation. This explanation can be presented using video. In addition, every task that has been done must be submitted by the parents to the facilitator as a daily assessment. To get good documentation, parents can use photos or videos ...

Dictation has long been seen as an effective tool by generations of teachers for years, and with the use of web-based platforms, this technique can be well supported, generating further improvement for students' listening comprehension. However, recent studies only cover part of the area, spanning from its dictation's benefits to its drawbacks, whereas there is still limited focus on the intervention of web-based platforms in this technique. Therefore, this paper aims to explore whether technological intervention, aiding dictation techniques, can have an impact on the understanding of students while listening. This research is conducted with the involvement of 60 third-year undergraduates at an intermediate English level, randomly chosen from 150 students at a university in Ho Chi Minh city, Viet Nam. Also, the study is quantitatively implemented, including pre-tests and post-tests, to gather and analyze data. Their purpose is to help researchers find out how students perform dictation activities on specialized web-based dictation websites, and examine their comprehension levels later on.

The education system in Burkina Faso has been reformed many times, but the latest system performance evaluations showed that those reforms did not yield the expected results. These reforms purported to provide appropriate training which content and methods align with the economic, technological, social, and cultural development, and value systems in Burkina Faso, Africa, and the world. Years later, the evaluation of the reform shows that education and vocational training decreased in quality and performance and they hardly adapt to the needs of the country. Informal economy employs many people, and research and innovation are still lagging and hardly contribute to people's well-being. Therefore, this research paper aims at exploring ways to go about educational policies and curriculum reforms which consider the cultural components, available technologies to meet the needs of the country in comparison to the Japanese educational system. It strives to find what Burkina Faso can learn from the educational system of Japan to meet the demands of the community, reach the goal of educational policies. This research did a literature review of the educational system, policies, and curriculum practices of Burkina Faso and Japan and found that Burkina Faso can learn from the way Japan develop the national curriculum, how its culture remains rooted in its school curriculum, and the progressive move to internationalize their educational system. Therefore, Burkina Faso can adapt and integrate its curriculum for the benefits of the learners and the community to boost socioeconomic development.

Operating in an environment of rapid technological changes, project-based organizations need to stay continuously updated and, therefore, must develop absorptive capacity. This research introduces an innovative theoretical framework for the development of absorptive capacity within project-based organizations. However, this capability is often developed in an unplanned manner, as it is stimulated by what the literature calls activation triggers. By analyzing 54 significant automation projects across seven epochs, this study spans 25 years of a project-based organization. It reveals four knowledge sources of absorptive capacity and its activation triggers, classified into six groups. The framework underscores the strategic importance of activation triggers and offers valuable insights into the dynamics of absorptive capacity, emphasizing the significance of relationships with clients, technology partners, and strategic business partners, as well as the role of project-based learning. These findings provide practical implications for enhancing innovation and achieving sustainable success in project-based organizations.

This study examines the strategic adoption of green innovation strategies in project management within Mombasa County, Kenya.

A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating quantitative data from structured questionnaires and qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. A total of 118 responses were analyzed, achieving an 89% response rate. The study investigated factors such as awareness of green innovations, availability of green technologies, and financial support, assessing their impact on the effectiveness of green adoption strategies.

This research aims to comprehensively understand the discourse surrounding 21st-century skills. Such knowledge is a fundamental paradigm for educators to develop students equipped with the necessary skills for their era. However, educators often resist fully utilizing technology, which is readily available to both educators and students, possibly due to technophobia, skepticism, or other reasons. This qualitative research emphasizes descriptive data analysis. The collected data will be analyzed using a descriptive analysis method, focusing on data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing through a systematic approach. The findings suggest that digital competence is essential for educators to present new content in 21st-century learning. Digital competence includes mastering information, communication, educational content creation, and problemsolving in education.
