Authors: Hamsir . , Nurlaelah . , Jayadi Ahkam , Fuady Muhammad Ikram Nur 
Published: November 2022

Advocates are one of the elements of law enforcement that are crucially needed by justice seekers; hence, a good legal education is needed. Then, how is the advocate education process during the COVID-19 pandemic? This study will reveal the perspectives of prospective advocates in participating in the Special Advocate Profession Education (PKPA) during a pandemic about how their motivations, reasons, and experiences continue to follow the education process under the shadow of the coronavirus that still exists. This qualitative research was conducted on 40 prospective advocates who participated in the 12th PKPA Batch in 2021. The data were obtained by conducting in-depth interviews with each PKPA participant and recording them. Furthermore, audio analysis was conducted to maintain the validity of the data. The findings showed that a strong passion for becoming an advocate is their ambition, and the legality of PKPA organizers and the application of health protocols are the reasons for prospective advocates to continue their education during a pandemic. Another finding was the experience of PKPA participants who considered that new adaptations were needed, and feelings of limited and technical obstacles were barriers that had to be further corrected in the implementation of advocate education. The implications of this research are to provide constructive advice for advocate education providers in implementing PKPA well during the pandemic and provide more attractiveness to prospective participants to participate in PKPA comfortably and safely.

E-government improves efficiency and increases user-friendliness and accessibility. It also helps promote ethical practices and reduce the risks of corruption in the public sector. Effective e government is so critical in public administration today because majority of the people are using technology to access some of the services, although the poor are still struggling.

The attitude towards scientific research is an indicator of educational quality in university education, being fundamental to consolidate every profession as a science. The objective of this study was to describe the attitudes towards scientific research of Peruvian students of the professional career of education. The research approach was a basic, quantitative, non-experimental design. The sample consisted of 494 university students. A sociodemographic form and the Research Attitude Index were used as instruments. The results show that students have a low attitude towards research. Likewise, they have a low level of self-evaluation; teaching influence and institutional influence of research capabilities, and students do not know if the university promotes the development of scientific production and do not know if the scientific training in their academic program is adequate. It is concluded that it is essential to promote greater visibility of the instances that develop research, also, teachers should have the pertinence of knowledge and experience to motivate a favorable attitude towards research.

Sustainable Development Goal 4: An Education Goal to Achieve Equitable Quality Education
Authors: Adipat Surattana , Chotikapanich Rattanawadee 
Published: November 2022

The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda is intended to leave no one behind; many people see it as an all-encompassing, global, and interdependent concept. High-quality education will contribute to the development of more stable and long-lasting communities by broadening access to opportunities and fostering greater tolerance within society. Education reforms guaranteeing access to quality primary education rank highly among the Millennium Development Goals. Goal 4 of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda emphasizes education’s transformative power for the sake of the world at large. Public schools are responsible for delivering a high-quality education to all students, and businesses and philanthropists may help to make this a reality. The Higher Education Sustainability Initiative and the UNICEF Global Action Plan both have the same overarching goal of assisting educational institutions in developing community-wide strategies for environmental sustainability. In 2018, 20% of the world’s children were not enrolled in schools, and, of those that were, over half had low literacy and numeracy skills. All young people across the world should be able to demonstrate proficiency in numeracy and functional reading by 2030. In this context, this article aims to discuss the connections between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4) and education, research studies from many countries, their significance to education, and future expectations.

Authors: Chauke Thulani Andrew 
Published: November 2022

The Electoral Commission of SA shows that only over eight million out of more than 26.2-million registered voters voted in the 2021 local government elections. This is a cause for concern when this figure is compared with other elections, which amounted to a preliminary turnout of about 30.5% by Monday 01 November 2021 at 21h00. Thus, the lower voter turnout is arguably a true reflection of the citizens frustration with and distrust of politicians. This study aims to explore the socio-economic factors that contributed to young people’s apathy towards politics and discouraged them to engage in voting during COVID-19 and to suggest both short- and long-term solutions to address the youth political disengagement in South Africa. The qualitative approach was adopted in this study, followed by a convenient sample of 20 youths. Individual interviews was used to collect data. The collected data was anlysed through thematic analysis. The finding revealed that socio-economic factors such as nation-wide lockdown COVID-19 restrictions, youth unemployment, electoral system, poverty prevented young people from participating to political engagement. Accordingly, this study recommends for multifaceted electoral reforms in South Africa that will give voters the power to hold elected representatives accountable and provide clear details of who should hold a representative office.

This is a documentary study corresponding to the qualitative paradigmatic modality, descriptive in scope and ethnographic design where the analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive-historical-logical and legal interpretation methods were used. Data from the 2019 elections corresponding to multi-personal positions such as mayors, prefects, urban and rural councilors and unipersonal positions corresponding to president, vice-president and national, provincial and foreign assembly members elected in the 2021 elections are analyzed. The findings show that women in Ecuadorian politics have difficulties in being elected and achieving parity, identifying a gender gap at all levels that is due to multidimensional factors explained in this study. It was determined that despite the existence of different regulations that promote gender equality and women's representation in the political world in Ecuador, these have not been able to materialize due to criteria related to the deep and marked social stereotypes that are maintained in the country.

Effects of Critical Thinking Implementation on Enhancing of Teaching Quality
Authors: Kadrija Ruzhdi , Gashi Shatri Zamira , Vala Këndusi Venera 
Published: November 2022

Critical thinking is a training program for teachers in order to improve teaching and the educational approach to students. The aim of this research is to address the implementation of this training program from the viewpoint of students and teachers. In this paper, we investigated the effects of the application of critical thinking in raising the quality of teaching in 9-year schools in Kosovo. But this paper initially treats from the theoretical aspect, which as a training program is based on the constructive and progressive approach. This philosophy of education sees the student as a subject engaged in the acquisition of knowledge and positive school experiences. While for a more complete illumination of the research, we received the opinions of 517 students from schools where the philosophy of critical thinking is applied and from schools that still work according to traditional educational practices. Here we compare the opinions of students about the quality of teaching of teachers who have been trained with critical thinking techniques and strategies and of other students whose teachers have not yet received the aforementioned professional training. Regarding the effects of the application of critical thinking in improving teaching, through questionnaires we also received the opinions of 234 teachers trained in critical thinking and teachers who have not yet been trained in the approach and teaching strategies according to critical thinking. The use of critical thinking techniques and strategies has raised the teaching quality and mobilizes students in the active acquisition of knowledge, creating a positivist spirit and a stimulating learning environment. Also, students engage with awareness and full will towards achieving their successes. Through this new philosophical approach, educators have also contributed to improving the quality of students' learning and raising their learning results. At the same time, playing the role of instructor in the classroom, they initiate learning debates on environmental and social topics. This approach prepares students for lifelong learning by creating work habits and creative skills found for work and being active in their social environments.

The study adopted secondary data analysis design and thematic approach to address the pertinent issues raised in the discourse. The overwhelmingly imperativeness to evolve new models, indicators and measures with broader views and coverage around long–term, sustainable socioeconomic and environmental development issues after about 87 years of inaccurately applying the GDP to measure what it cannot measure; The work demonstrated that there should be a preferred substitute of the Social Progress Index (SPI) to the GDP because of its inability to measure national well-being and development. It strengthens the call for Policy Makers, Public Financial and Economic Institutions Managers, and Development Partners to de-emphasise the use of GDP as the determinant for all socio-economic and development policy decisions as it was not designed to do that. The study recommends that a new formula, SPI be adopted for measuring economic growth and national well-being, one which makes for the shortcomings and limitations of the GDP be adopted: EP&NW = GDP (C + I + G + XN) + SPI (B + F + O).

Co-Housing as a Strategy to Combat Relational Poverty of Older People
Authors: Carrera Letizia 
Published: November 2022

The pandemic experience from Covid-19 has heightened the awareness of the impact that relational poverty has on the quality of life, especially of older people’s lives. The obligation to stay inside their homes to protect them from the risk of infection has had the indirect effect of precipitating many elderly people into a state of solitude from which, at least in part, the city had been protecting them until then. The pandemic has shown how older citizens live the shortage of relationships and the solitude of housing as factors that can heavily affect the quality of their lives. But this difficult historical moment has been an opportunity to implement a series of projects dedicated to over 65 people so that they could be guaranteed a fullness of possibilities. Within them there is “CondiViviamo” activated in Bari (Italy) and focused on the possibility of realizing an experience of cohousing as an instrument to contrast the economic uneasiness and, above all, the relational poverty. The starting assumption is both to guarantee older people a better existential condition, and to make them protagonists of this process. The project, carried out in a multifactorial perspective, is initially aimed at a limited number of elderly subjects, but it has the secondary purpose of defining a model exportable to other cities in the same territory of Apulian region and even at national level. The analysis of the outcomes of the project will also be functional to the definition of future operational guidelines for public social policies.

A Systematic Analysis of Malawi's Girl-Centred Education Programming
Authors: Moyo John Foster Jill 
Published: November 2022

The aim of the systematic review was to compile and synthesise evidence on the contributions and implications of girl-centric policies and specialised interventions for girls' education in terms of access and participation. The results of the review confirm that girls' education programmes designed and implemented in a gender-based framework are effective in increasing girls' access to education. The results support the hypothesis that gender-centric policies and affirmative action interventions are sincere attempts to improve equity within education systems in Malawi. Despite these findings, the article argues that gender-centric policies and programmes can be replete with unfounded and contradicting assumptions about the nature of gender and egalitarian programming, which may negate the agenda on gender equality. The article also contends that even though great progress has been made in developing and adopting gender-sensitive education policies, feminist approaches have complicated implementation of the resulting gender-sensitive educational interventions. One of the main challenges in implementing feminist frameworks is in resolving the unquestioned and inconsistent assumptions about gender and egalitarian programming that have led to replication of affirmative action programmes that are only marginally effective. From the emanating perspectives, the article opiniates that general restorative interventions can be better approaches for overcoming gender inequality, and thus argues that girl-centric frameworks are unsustainable and must be supplanted with gender-as-equity paradigms.

Parler des bébés aux adolescents : une prévention de la violence
Authors: Golse Bernard 
Published: November 2022

L’auteur relate tout d’abord l’expérience qu’il mène dans un lycée à Romilly-sur-Seine en compagnie d’une enseignante (Marie Biot) et qui consiste à aller parler des bébés aux adolescents (en classe de seconde ou de première). Cette action amène les adolescents à repenser aux bébés qu’ils furent et vise à les aider à mieux accueillir les bébés qu’ils auront peut-être un jour. Il y a donc une visée d’accompagnement des adolescents vers la parentalité mais il s’agit aussi de les aider à respecter la vie psychique sous toutes ses formes d’où une visée de prévention plus large de l’intolérance et de la violence en général. Tout ceci n’est possible qu’en raison de la grande sensibilité des adolescents à l’égard des bébés et l’auteur évoque alors un certain nombre de convergences entre le fonctionnement psychique des uns et des autres. Certaines de ces convergences sont connues de longue date, d’autres sont de connaissance plus récente dans la mesure où l’essor de la psychiatrie du bébé nous permet désormais de revisiter quelque peu cette période de l’adolescence. Toutes ces réflexions s’inscrivent sur le fond de la dynamique de l’après-coup.
