Challenge Based Learning: Innovative Pedagogy for Sustainability through e-L...May Portuguez
Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) is an innovative teaching methodology that engages students to resolve real-world challenges while applying the knowledge they acquired during their professional training. This article describes the results of the implementation of an online course on entrepreneurship that utilized CBL with a group of 20 undergraduate students from various disciplines in a university in Mexico. During the course, challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations were presented to the participants, making it possible to observe the students’ interest in resolving these problems. This research uses a case study methodology and seeks to determine the CBL elements in the e-learning modality. The results showed that the participants generated sustainable business ideas aimed to resolve local, national, and global problems. The recommendations are to continue the formation of the businesses proposed in the project. These ideas can become real ventures that connect various actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and will continue to strengthen transversal skills such as teamwork and communication.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. Aims, roles, characteristics and challenges of Secondary education in the 21st
century
Have you ever questioned the approach to learning implemented in high schools
today? What is the true role they play in society? What are the goals for education and
learning? What is established in the curricular design of each province? These questions and
many others can arise if we stop to think about the educational quality that students receive
today and the reality that both students and teachers face in the classroom.
According to the Curricular Design of Rio Negro (2017), someof the aims of secondary
education are: to offer students opportunities to develop a personal growth, to form students
capable of transforming and understanding the social, economic, cultural and environmental
context in which they are living, to implement novel learning processes and approaches in a
contextualized way, among others. Likewise, some pillars of the Curricular Design of Entre
Ríos (2010), are: to train students to exercise a participatory, critical, informed and committed
citizenship, to develop autonomy in learning, to involve learners in vocational orientation
processes,and to facilitate knowledge acquisition and skills vital for their future integration into
the productive and economical systems, among other goals. However, and unfortunately,
these aims are not being completely reflected in today's classrooms.
According to James, J. (2020), nowadays, education at the secondary level and to
some extent at the higher level works as a system that filters students, on the idea that good
grades equal good jobs. In other words, he argues that students are considered as merely
statistical numbers and those who achieve a high score are valued as good learners.
In this sense, the different skills, intelligences and passions of each student are not
taken into account. That is to say, secondary education, instead of harbouring students'
passions and developing their intelligences and skills according to their interests, states the
same rhythm of learning for everyone in a homogenous way. This means that each student
has to fit in the system and cope with the objective of each learning stage in order to graduate.
At today's secondary education, it doesn't seem to matter the great effort that students
make in order to understand concepts or contents, what really seems to be relevant is
accomplishing the objective of “acquiring knowledge” by memorizing, passing exams and
being prepared to be inserted as simple employees in the world of work. As a consequence
of this educational practice, students do not focus on achieving personal growth, instead, they
study with the purpose of getting a job in the future.
If we want young people to be future entrepreneurs and to progress in the world of
work, the development of different skills must be something primordial, as well as the foment
of critical thinking; necessary to involve effectively in social issues discussions, with their own
opinions and notions. To this aim, we need our learning system to accompany those changes
by giving the necessary spaces, tools and knowledge to the teachers and students. In doing
so, a high quality education will be given to equip the students with the skills they need to
reach their personal goals and face the challenges that the current world presents to them.
In the frame of this global educational crisis we are going through, the so-called "New
Pedagogies for Deep Learning" project arises as a proposal that attempts to make a change
in the action plan carried out by current education. It seeks to renew the goals for education
4. and learning and promote skills that prepare students to be responsible, persevering, honest
and empathic citizens. Moreover, skills to become citizens capable of communicating
effectively, using critical thinking to solve problems, making appropriate decisions, and
employing tools and digital resources that are significant in the present. Additionally, as Fullan
& Langworthy (2013) establish in their paper, the main factor to reach and accelerate these
aims is the application of technology to education, with emphasis in its multiple roles.
Furthermore, in the “New Pedagogies for Deep Learning”, the teacher's role is of
utmost importance and it presents the changes that we need in today's education. One of the
new roles is of the teacher as a designer of powerful learning experiences. She/he will adapt
the curricular learning goals according to the contents, personalities and learning modalities
of the students, with relevant, engaging and compelling learning experiences for them.
Another role is the teacher as a source of human, social and decisional capital, as their
continuous learning, relation with students, peers and community,enables them to make good
judgments and decisions when needed. And finally, the teacher as a partner in learning with
students, establishing a supportive relationship where technology and digital resources are
used to enable and accelerate the learning of each student.
In connection with the previous theoretical developments, other important contributions
are those made by Gardner (2007), cited in Velázquez, A. (2021), and by Maggio M. (2018).
These authors describe characteristics and skills that students need to develop in order to be
prepared for nowadays world´s demands. Specifically, Gardner describes five personal
characteristics that he considers fundamental to be cultivated through Education. These
involve the following: developing a disciplined mind (to think like experts in different areas),
the ability to organize and select significant contextual information, thinking creatively, being
respectful with others and valuing diversity, and finally, being ethical and responsible.
Moreover, he explains that world conditions are in continuous change and students and
teachers' minds have to be prepared to adapt to new educational aims, practices and never
stop learning.
Similar to Gardner's ideas, Maggio (2018) refers to the so-called "21st century skills".
In her work, she refers to the Cognitive Revolution of the early 1960s, which implied a change
in the understanding of how students learn. These studies remark aspects of thinking such as:
the ability to solve problems, creativity, metacognitive skills, and inductive and deductive
reasoning and inference. Quoting De Bono, she reveals the special importance of "lateral
thinking" as a complement to "logical thinking." In particular, De Bono indicates that traditional
teaching has given central importance to the second one, being that the former is essential to
restructure concepts, models and create new ones (creativity).
In conclusion, the changes that the world has undergone cannot be ignored and
education must adapt its practices in order to prepare students to insert successfully in it. In
this sense, Secondary school teachers have the responsibility to approach teaching with a
critical mind, inquiring about what is being done and what should be done. This way, it will be
possible to assure students through education the development of the skills and
characteristics they need for the present and future world.
