Strong performers and successful reformers - lessons from PISA for TurkeyEduSkills OECD
The document provides an overview of results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Key points:
- PISA assesses over 500,000 15-year-olds in 65 countries on mathematics, reading and science literacy every 3 years. It examines real-world problem solving abilities rather than just knowledge reproduction.
- Top-performing education systems have equitable access to learning opportunities regardless of socioeconomic background and students have strong self-beliefs in their abilities.
- High-performing countries emphasize developing students' metacognitive skills and see all students as capable of high achievement given the right support and instruction.
- Teaching is an attractive profession in high-performing systems which invest in ongoing teacher
Men from Judea came to Antioch teaching that Gentiles must be circumcised according to Mosaic law to be saved, causing dissension. Paul, Barnabas, and others were sent to Jerusalem to meet with apostles and elders. They reported how Gentiles had converted and been filled with the Holy Spirit without circumcision. After debate, the assembly agreed that Gentiles did not need to follow Mosaic law, bringing encouragement, strength and peace to the congregation.

The document describes Paul preaching boldly for three months in a synagogue about the kingdom of God. When some became stubborn and spoke evil against his teachings, Paul withdrew and taught daily in the hall of Tyrannus for two years, so that all residents of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord. It then describes extraordinary miracles done through Paul, and how seven sons of a Jewish high priest failed in their attempt to invoke the name of Jesus in exorcisms but were overpowered by an evil spirit. Many believers subsequently confessed and divulged their practices, and some who had practiced magic burned expensive books of magic in front of all. The word of the Lord continued to increase

The Journey From Victim To Victor Slides, 3/17/13CLADSM
The document discusses the journey from victim to victor through biblical stories of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Rahab. It provides two reasons for being able to be victorious: 1) "there is a God in heaven" who reveals mysteries, as seen in Daniel's ability to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar's dream; and 2) one's God "is able to deliver", as demonstrated when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were delivered from the fiery furnace after refusing to worship the king's idol. The document extracts lessons from these biblical narratives about having faith in God during times of difficulty or persecution.
Academic perspectives on internationalisation - Rebecca HughesEduSkills OECD
The document discusses internationalization in higher education from the perspective of academics. It explores academics' experiences with internationalization through their cultural experiences, challenges working in a second language, and feelings of being foreign. Motivations for mobility centered on relationships and intellectual interests rather than rankings. Language emerged as a powerful factor impacting communication, identity, and inclusion. Highly international environments may be less problematic than those with one dominant language/culture. More research is needed to understand these dynamics and barriers to internationalization.

This document summarizes research on leading sustainable schools. It finds that successful sustainable school leaders view sustainability holistically and ensure it is embedded throughout the school. These leaders foster community involvement, improve environmental impacts, and use sustainability to enhance learning and attainment. Distributed leadership allows many in the school community to participate. Moving sustainability forward will require addressing barriers like lack of priority and support, and developing leadership skills like outward orientation.
Development and embedding of the Horizontal Learning System into the Hungaria...László Horváth
This document discusses the development and integration of a horizontal learning system into Hungary's institutional system of pedagogical services. It describes a research project that developed a professional learning community (PLC) model and validated it through workshops. The model was used to diagnose PLC capacities at 11 institutions. Reference institutions were defined as having certain defining characteristics like exemplary leadership, mentoring, and collaboration. Workshops helped institutions develop their PLC capacities using 78 methodological tools. The overall aim is to integrate this horizontal learning network into the system of pedagogical services in Hungary.
Supporting integration through incidental learningAndrew Brasher
The Maseltov project (“Mobile Assistance for Social Inclusion and Empowerment of Immigrants with Persuasive Learning Technologies and Social Network Services”, http://www.maseltov.eu/ ) project recognises major risks for social exclusion of immigrants and identifies the potential of mobile services for promoting integration and cultural diversity in Europe.
The project intends to exploit the potential of mobile services for promoting integration and cultural diversity in Europe, and is focusing on support for immigrants with particular needs e.g. those who have not learned foreign languages, and who have a cultural background that contrasts with that of their host country.
We will present the first iteration of an incidental learning framework developed within the Maseltov project. This framework is intended to facilitate the coordination of existing technologies, content, pedagogies, processes and practices into learning services that can be used effectively by immigrants, their networks and mentors so as to increase immigrants’ ability to function in an unfamiliar society. When fully developed, the framework is intended to support the design of learning experiences which show
(i) how incremental, opportunistic, social and game-based learning can be applied to immigrants problems, (ii) which content areas can be offered and combined (from among language, culture, information access, mobility, health care, etc.), and (iii) which technologies are best suited for each type of content and interaction.
A full description of the Incidental Learning Framework is provided by Brasher et al (2012).

It describes using apps and collaborative tools to measure motivation and foster epistemic agency among students.
Sharing Knowledge: Human Variome Project initiatives in education and skills ...Human Variome Project
Sharing Knowledge is one of the four key themes underlying Project Roadmap 2012-2016, the Human Variome Project’s strategic plan for the next five years and a focus for this meeting. This session built on the outcome of the Project’s Education Satellite meeting, held in November of 2010 and sought to clarify and expand the Human Variome Project’s precise role in education and skills development initiatives. Specifically, it discussed: the global importance of learning and development, including the inclusion of young and early-career clinicians and researchers; existing national and international resources and initiatives that can be leveraged; the role of assessment, evaluation and accreditation of curriculum at the national level; and the Project’s role in medical education, post-grad training, professional development and continuing education for clinicians, diagnosticians, counsellors etc.
The document summarizes research on dimensions of quality in e-learning from various approaches and models. It outlines 19 different frameworks that identify key quality factors in areas such as institutional support, course development, teaching and learning, student support, and evaluation. The frameworks were developed between 1999-2008 and include factors such as learning effectiveness, accessibility, instructor and technical support, pedagogy, and student and faculty satisfaction.
CHALLENGES OF ENGAGING STUDENTS THROUGH VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. A NEW ...Andy Lima
Presentation given for the 13th Conference on Social Science at University of Vienna, October 6th/7th.
Paper published on the EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES EDUCATION AND RESEARCH September-December 2017, Volume 11, Nr. 2, pg 39-51
“Many Universities manage billions in research funding, but there is usually no R&D budget for their own product, namely delivering education to willing buyers” (Michael Stanton, 2014) Education are missing on an explosive growth sector: Their Own. (Harvard Business Review)
Education has undoubtedly been commoditised and as a good. As suggested by American entrepreneur Peter Theil (Cited in Hellweg, 2013), it may function as both learning and insurance access platform.
Another aspect of HE is that, in contrast to most other industries that have faced disruption, the top 10 providers are still the same for the last 40 decades or so. The question is how much longer will they be there? Not even Coursera’s founder Daphne Koller could anticipate the scale and impact of the MOOCs.
Udacity, Coursera and edX, aka ‘The Big Three’ have crossed the barrier of 40 million active students. What does it mean for traditional universities? MIT’s president Raphael Reif struggles to see how his institution can carry on justifying charging $50,0000 for tuition much longer and that is a big problem not only for them for many other universities that are starting to see their numbers dwindling.
This paper is the first in a series of five papers looking at the future of higher education and learning

Faculty Adoption of Virtual Worlds, Nov 2012susandass
Faculty adoption of virtual worlds remains low. Understanding the barriers, constraints, and motivations of existing adopters as well as non-adopters may help explain and provide guidance on how to improve faculty consideration and adoption of virtual worlds as a learning environment. Six virtual world adopters and two non-adopters were interviewed individually to answer the question: how do faculty and staff come to adopt or not adopt virtual worlds as a learning environment. An analysis using the transcriptions, the developed narrative stories, and the supporting field notes, found six recurring themes: personal relevance of the technology, cost is an issue but not a showstopper, learning is not alone, sound pedagogical integration is a must, adopter commitment, and adopter characteristics. The adoption process found in this study is compared to Roger’s Innovation Decision Process. Follow-on research efforts are also presented. This was presented at the 2012 Association for Educational Communications and Technology annual convention.

This document summarizes key findings from the TALIS Starting Strong 2018 survey on diversity and quality in early childhood education. It finds that socioeconomic gaps in child development emerge early. While early childhood education can help disadvantaged children, quality varies between more and less diverse centers. More diverse centers often face greater shortages and lower parental involvement, though staff may have more diversity training and use adaptive practices. Ensuring resources for diverse centers, reducing diversity concentrations, and supporting family engagement could help reduce inequalities.

- PISA 2022 assessed the math performance of nearly 690,000 15-year-old students across 81 countries. It found the average math performance dropped by almost 15 score points across OECD countries since 2018, a larger decline than ever seen before.
- Factors like insufficient education resources, a shortage of qualified teachers, and more time spent on digital devices for leisure rather than learning were linked to lower math scores. However, stronger teacher support during remote learning and feeling prepared for independent learning were associated with higher performance and confidence.

12. SOME PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS
• Qualitative, descriptive and explorative studies are predominating
• Ethnography, views studies, document studies and case oriented studies focused
on micro-processes.
• Few comparative and intervention studies.
• Main focus on teaching and learning, assessment, equal opportunities and
curriculum.
• Little focus on political, social cultural and economical frames and their
implications for the practical work.
• Surprisingly little focus on children.
• Inquiries aiming at the family’s social background, economical situation and its
implications for the work in preschool institutions are rather rare.
• The caring dimension of the pedagogical work is only examined in a few studies
(few studies of the youngest children).
13. NORDIC BASE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION AND CARE (ECEC-NB)
ECEC-NB gathers new, quality-assured Scandinavian research
on 0-6 year-old children in early childhood education and
care.
This database is for all who are interested in pedagogy and in
the development of the daycare area, such as teachers,
students, researchers, educational managers, consultants or
politicians, who want to stay informed or who need qualified
input in connection with their work or studies.
The database will be updated annually at the beginning of the
year.
