Metacognition has been acknowledged as a key component of self-regulation and has also a multidimensional nature, with at least three components: (a) metacognition as theory of mind, (b) metacognition as epistemic thinking, and (c) metacognition as knowledge and regulation of our cognitive self. In an Erasmus+ collaborative project a multicomponent metacognitive training course for teachers was developed incorporating metacognitive knowledge and skills, adopting the principles of action research. The interventionв...

The present paper presents the results of an Erasmus+ project entitled ” Development of New Skills for Medical Students in Pandemic Context. For most of the medical universities digital readiness/capacity was found unprepared for the COVID induced changes toward on-line education. Now, after 2 years, on line education is not anymore a novelty in higher education. But, especially for medical students, the problem raised during COVID pandemics was to follow practical stages. Telemedicine is a solution adopted in m...

The purpose of the article is to study the role and place of modern information technologies in the formation of the project culture of future teachers. Scientific methods are applied: questionnaires and surveys (to collect data from respondents), descriptive (to characterize didactic categories), comparative (to compare methods of forming project culture), experimental (creating conditions for cause-and-effect relationships between objects), grapho-analytical (for graphical interpretation of results), mathematica...

The study examines the impact of innovative Project-based learning (PBL) on enhancing the graduate English language learning approach called „JobLab“ at the University of Zilina, Slovakia. The paper explores the efficacy of integrating JobLab’s project-based approach into the learning framework to enhance graduate students’ verbal creativity and presentation proficiency. Forty-four graduates were divided into an experimental group (N=22) with project-based training and a control group (N=22) with conventio...

Artificial intelligence (AI)’s emergence along with its progressively broader impact on different sectors needs assessment of all effects on achievement of each sustainable development goal (SDG). As AI technology turns to be more prominent in lives of individuals, increasing number of practitioners as well as researchers have underscored importance to integrate AI as one learning content. In spite of recent efforts to develop AI curricula along with guiding frameworks within AI education, every educational oppo...

New technologies have made it possible to eliminate geographical barriers, thereby changing the traditional learning model. ICTs support lifelong learning by providing tools that allow for the creation of virtual learning environments through online courses or more informal settings. The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical and practical aspects of information and communication technologies and the conditions for their use in education in the context of Industry 5.0. It is proved that the informatiza...

The purpose of the research is the improvement of the socio-perceptive skills of the teachers for the correlation of the study and understanding of students’ musical abilities. For the achievement of the set of goal, the general scientific methodological approaches (systemic, competent) and the research methods as abstract-logical, analysis and synthesis have been used to study, to generalize and to systematize the obtained information with the purpose of the comparison of the different views of the scientists o...

Several researchers have ...

Pedagogical science, through the materialist covering that is imposed on it lately, has distanced itself from the spiritual needs of man. Despite this fact, the influence and importance of Christian values remain eminently valid and current. Christianity and especially Orthodoxy, through their entire content based on the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ, the Pedagogue par excellence, continue to inspire educational ideas, mentality, and pedagogical thinking. Christian pedagogy imposes itself as a necessity in todayв...

This article explores the quality of life (QoL) among university students with disabilities through the lens of Bio-ecological Systems Theory and its Process-Person-Context-Time (PPCT) model. This approach integrates insights from biological, psychological, and social sciences to examine the complex interactions between students and their environments, from microsystems to macrosystems. We clarify how environmental elements and individual traits influence students’ experiences by concentrating on dynamic engagem...

Traditionally, engineering education teaches natural principles and technical procedures in order to yield reliable, predictable results. It is a highly cognitive activity. However, computer based technologies are reducing the need for engineers’ routine work on welldefined tasks and are shifting focus to creating completely new products and services and novel solutions for “unsolvable” challenges. To utilize full potential of their creativity engineers need to learn how to think outside of the box, break ru...

One of the motivations for selecting this issue was the ongoing development of the training approach, particularly at the technical-tactical component level, which was supported by the underwhelming results of the Romanian football teams abroad. In this way, by endorsing specific technical-tactical models that aid Romanian football teams in playing their games more effectively, our approach also serves to increase the value level. Exploratory research was used to support our examination of the technical-tactical b...
