Higher apprenticeship as educational strategy after the pandemic

This article analyzes strengths and weaknesses of the higher apprenticeship programme carried out by the University of Bergamo within the bachelor’s degree in educational sciences since the academic year 2017/2018. Starting from the voices of apprentices and tutors, a qualitative research tries to find out whether higher apprenticeship may be a good teaching strategy to enhance the principle of alternation between theory and practice in tertiary education. L’apprendistato di terzo livello come strategia formativa per le società dopo il Covid. L’articolo esplora punti di forza e criticità dei percorsi di apprendistato di terzo livello avviati dall’Università di Bergamo a partire dall’a.a. 2017/2018 nell’ambito del corso di laurea triennale in Scienze dell’educazione. La ricerca qualitativa consente, grazie alle testimonianze di apprendisti e tutor, di descrivere situazioni ed episodi di apprendimento e di mettere in evidenza come l’apprendistato di terzo livello, almeno potenzialmente, possa costituire un’ottima strategia didattica per realizzare il principio dell’alternanza formativa negli studi terziari.

The Algebraic Sets in the General Mathematics and Teaching Them

Most of the pictures in general mathematics are algebraic sets. Indeed, even the first figures taught in class 1 of elementary school are already algebraic sets or part of algebraic sets, such as lines and segments. Therefore, knowing with certainty the properties of algebraic sets is very important for good teaching of high school mathematics, and it is essential to teach them better. To give suggestions and help teachers teach mathematics more effectively, in this report, we will present the Zariski topology, some of their most important properties and the methods to teach algebraic sets.

And Then There Was COVID-19: Do the Benefits of Cooperative Learning Disappear When Switching to Online Education?

In the spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic induced a rapid shift to online education. University instructors promptly reinvented their teaching methods and developed digital lessons. Cooperative learning has been demonstrated to surpass lecture-based learning (LBL) regarding students’ learning processes; therefore, the question arises as to whether the perks of cooperative learning still hold when switching to online education. This study examines whether the benefits of team-based learning (TBL) regarding good teaching (i.e., perceived teaching quality), satisfaction, and performance persist when switching from face-to-face to online education. A quasi-experiment in an undergraduate advanced accounting course compared a non-COVID-19-affected semester to a COVID-19-affected semester. In both semesters, students could choose between a TBL and a LBL path for tutorial sessions. Quantitative survey data (N = 455) indicate TBL outperforms LBL, even when switching to online tools. Good teaching was perceived as even better in the COVID-19-affected semester, and even more so by students in the team-based setting, compared to the lecture-based setting. Students’ course satisfaction and performance were unaffected by the switch to online education. This paper shows that TBL still benefits students, even in a blended environment.

On the application of intelligent speech aids in English teaching under multimedia environment

In order to improve the effect of English Teaching in multimedia environment, this paper proposes an English teaching method based on intelligent language AIDS in multimedia environment. Firstly, an intelligent speech teaching assistant system is designed in the multimedia environment. The software mainly includes four modules: new words and sentences, Chinese and English reading, voice evaluation, tools and settings. Learners can learn independently through the software, and teachers can also use the software to make various audio teaching resources in the classroom. In addition, the system can promote vocabulary teaching and support sentence pattern teaching and situational teaching in English teaching. The experimental results show that the average score of class 3A is increased from 86.35 to 86.79, with an increase of 0.64, which proves that the application of this method can effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of students in learning English and achieve good teaching effect.

The Double Whammy of Pandemic and War: A Systematic Review of India’s Education Diplomacy to Address Educational Inequities in Afghanistan

Higher education is considered an important tool for the overall development of any country, and it holds true in the context of Afghanistan as well. At the same time, a good eco-environment in terms of political will, leaders’ farsighted vision, a fair budget, good infrastructure, and a good teaching community are some of the basic requirements for higher education to move in the direction of new and higher horizons. However, due to the ongoing war during the last couple of decades, the country’s education system has become out of reach for a substantial part of the population due to poverty, lack of infrastructure, refugees and internally displaced, digital division, etc., critically affecting the education equity. This systematic review examines India’s education diplomacy in addressing the inequities in Afghanistan’s education system and making them more equitable. Education was further dilapidated with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Afghanistan is caught between a war and a pandemic and suffers from a double whammy in losses. Subsequently, given their chilling effects, higher education becomes devoid of multiples equities, including education. However, because of their historical and geo-civilizational ties, India has focused on development diplomacy in general and education diplomacy (E.D) in particular to improve educational infrastructures.
