The work CREATIVITY, STIMULATION VECTORS AND PLASTIC EDUCATION aims to investigate from multiple points of view the issue of the creative act in relation to education, the environment, the enabling factors that can influence creativity. The environment that stimulates and valorizes creativity is vital for the field of plastic creation, but especially for the environment in which plastic education activities are carried out; thus, a critical environment, which does not offer the framework of an emulation, a place to exhibit artistic productions, or a forum for fertile discussions, in the absence of an enthusiasm that the individual who takes part in these educational activities, does not show (regardless of whether it is in the role of the educator or the educated), they will not increase fluency, originality, the flow of new ideas, but they will increase the critical spirit in excess, which is often harmful to the imposition of new ideas. In conclusion, in order to have all the necessary conditions for the manifestation of creativity, an environment that stimulates and appreciates creative ideas is needed; with all the internal resources necessary for creative thinking, the intrinsic motivation of the creator, and a personality predisposed to interact flexibly and persistently with the field of knowledge in which it operates.

Present study aims at determining the relationship between the needs of parents whose children are attending inclusion classes in the TRNC and their burnout levels. This study encompasses 150 parents in total. The scale used within the scope of the research was applied to the parents of children with special needs (150 participants), who attend the general education class affiliated to the TRNC &quot;Ministry of National Education and Culture Primary Education Department&quot; in the 2019-2020 academic year, via Google Forms. In this regard, scanning model was utilized in the present research. In the study, the &quot;Scale of Identifying the Needs of Parents whose Children Attend Inclusive Education&quot; was utilized to determine the desires of the parents and the &quot;Maslach Burnout Scale-Parent Form&quot; was employed by researchers to reveal the burnout levels of the parents. Based on the relational results between the scale of determining the needs of the families of the students receiving inclusive education and the &quot;Maslach Burnout Scale&quot;, it has been determined that there are statistically significant and positive correlations between the scores that the parents got from the scale of determining the needs of the families of the students receiving inclusive education, from the sub-dimensions of the scale, from the overall &quot;Maslach Burnout Scale&quot; and from the sub-dimension of emotional burnout in the scale.

The purpose of this study is to examine the views of parents with special needs children regarding their children's sex education. Convergent parallel design, one of the mixed research methods, has been used in the study. Quantitative data were obtained from 200 parents and qualitative data from 15 parents from the same sample group who volunteered to do face-to-face interviews. Descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test have been used for analyzing the quantitative data. In the analysis of the parents' views on the necessity of sex education, it was found that 94.5% of parents consider sex education necessary. In the qualitative analysis, 13 parents stated that they consider sex education necessary, while two stated that they do not consider it necessary. When the parents' views regarding by whom/at what age sex-related information should be provided, both quantitative and qualitative findings revealed that they think parents should provide sex-related information, and teachers and doctors took the second place in this sense. Quantitative analysis of parents' views on the content of sex-related information revealed that they think sexual organs, changes in the body, and sexual abuse should be the main topics included in sex education. Both quantitative and qualitative findings have shown that there is a lack of information in parents. In line with research findings, it is recommended to prepare qualified programs and carry out awareness-raising activities for sex education of children with special needs.

Among all the factors that create the school environment and influence the creation of a favorable atmosphere for more healthy development and education of students, the role of teachers stands out as crucial. Classroom management can be seen as the next important factor that stimulates the learning and teaching process and as a tool to create an environment in which the educational process would take place smoothly and develop a healthy and positive relationship between students and between teachers and students. The main goal was to examine whether there is a connection between teachers' characteristics and the dominant classroom management style. The self-assessment teaching style inventory (Ðigic, Stjoljkovic, Janjic, 2011), including an interactionist, intervening, and non-intervening management style was applied to a sample of 300 respondents, as well as a questionnaire on teachers' characteristics constructed for this research. The results confirmed the connection between the style that dominates the classroom management of teachers and certain personal characteristics, such as gender, desire to have their child in education, attendance at education and the reason for choosing a profession.

The purpose of this research is to explore the views of pupils of primary (6th grade) and secondary education (3rd grade of Gymnasium &amp; 3rd grade of lyceum) of the Ionian Islands, about renewable sources and energy saving. In Greece, significant research has been carried out on renewable sources and energy saving. Their findings showed that the public as a whole has a positive attitude to energy saving and the utilization of renewable energy sources. At the same time, the contribution of RES to economic growth and society is recorded. In addition, it has been shown that the change of human behavior is considered a sufficient and necessary condition to solve the important environmental problems of our everyday life and makes students behavior; knowledge and perceptions on environment and it's problems, an act of major importance.

Enrollment in American graduate degree programs is increasing, even as undergraduate enrollment declines continue in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. With rising numbers of graduate awards, there has been increased attention on understanding the value of these degrees, especially master's degrees. With more workers attaining higher credentials, the value of this credential could be diluted, causing the typical worker to earn less than they did a decade ago. This brief examines graduate degree attainment and workers' earnings over the past 30 years using data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the American Community Survey (ACS), and student survey data from the National Center for Education Statistics. Findings show that the earnings of graduate degree recipients rose, in inflation-adjusted dollars, until around 2000 and have stayed steady since. Although typical earnings for graduate degree recipients have remained level, the cost of a graduate degree, particularly in the form of student debt, has risen sharply, biting into the overall return on investment for graduate education.

Universal screening and progress monitoring measures are increasingly of interest to early interventionists who make decisions about the services provided to young children. A measure of infant-toddlers' growth in early movement, the &quot;Early Movement Indicator (EMI),&quot; was reported in 2002. However, the EMI has remained an experimental measure based on a small sample and not used broadly by practitioners in real-world programs. We addressed this limitation by advancing knowledge the EMIs scalability through a website and improved psychometrics in a large sample. Results indicated that the EMI was (a) scalable evidenced by a large volume of early childhood staff users in programs in five states with 628 children and 2,258 individual EMI assessments, (b) sensitive to growth over time, (c) comprised of a complex continuum of skill development, and (d) influenced by moderators (i.e., home language, Individual Family Service Plan [IFSP] status). Implications for research and practice are discussed. [This article was published in &quot;Topics in Early Childhood Special Education&quot; (EJ1185519).]

In this paper, we provide an introduction to the factored regression framework. This modeling framework applies the rules of probability to break up or &quot;factor&quot; a complex joint distribution into a product of conditional regression models. Using this framework, we can easily specify the complex multivariate models that missing data modeling requires. The article provides a brief conceptual overview of factored regression and describes the functional notation used to conceptualize the models. Furthermore, we present a conceptual overview of how the models are estimated and imputations are obtained. Finally, we discuss how users can use the free software package, Blimp, to estimate the models in the context of a mediation example.

Students in a gateway college science course were assigned to two instructional conditions: explanation-only or augmented instruction. In the explanation-only condition, students wrote explanations for six excerpts from their textbook. The augmented-instruction condition wrote explanations on only four of the excerpts, with the other two serving as examples for a lesson about the rhetorical structure of the texts and how to integrate multiple text ideas to answer inference test questions. Both conditions showed pre-post gains in students' metacomprehension skills. In the explanation-only condition, students at-risk for failure (first-generation college, ESL, low income, low ACT) performed significantly worse than other students on course exams, but this difference was reduced by half with the lessons included in the augmented condition.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has forced schools and universities to close. Globally, education systems face unprecedented challenges, and learning management systems (LMS) are the only solution. The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a Blackboard collaborative breakout group on the cognitive achievement of physical education teaching styles. The quasi-experimental method involved creating two groups: one experimental and one control, with the experimental group using Blackboard collaborative breakout groups and the control group relying exclusively on online lectures and continuing with the same method without breakout groups. The study sample consisted of 40 students who were randomly assigned and divided equally into the two groups. Based on the research sample, homogeneity within the group and equivalence between groups in terms of age, Grade Point Average (GPA), and high intelligence test (IQ) were evaluated. The results showed that the experimental group's cognitive achievement was superior to that of the control group. Therefore, the design of the learning process enhances student collaboration, participation, and reinforcement. Additionally, the experimental group retained the learning outcomes for a month after the cessation of all teaching and learning processes. To conclude, giving a lecture using webinar tools such as Blackboard Collaborate Ultra does not necessarily mean achieving the intended educational goals. As a result, it is necessary to look for ways to integrate active learning strategies, such as collaborative learning, to enhance student involvement in distance learning.

Fidelity is defined as doing what is intended. The purpose of measuring fidelity is to assist with supporting implementation. Collecting fidelity data provides an opportunity to problem-solve throughout the process versus waiting for outcome data. More often than not, purchased programs and curriculum materials are missing a research-validated measurement to ensure it is implemented as intended. Educational institutions may be measuring fidelity through the use of a walkthrough tool or teacher self-report, but are the tools aligned with what they want to measure (Hill &amp; Erickson, 2019). This brief examines the concept and provides real-world examples from the Florida Department of Education, the Kentucky Department of Education, and the Minnesota Department of Education.

Online learning gained significant traction during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, it continues to be a viable learning method following the reopening of the world. The researcher identified the need to determine the value of online learning after the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training announced in 2021 an allowance of 30% online teaching for Vietnamese universities. Hence, the researcher aimed to discover the perceptions of the benefits and challenges of online English learning among university students in Hanoi. The study collected quantitative data through an online questionnaire from 100 first-year undergraduate students from various universities in Hanoi. The descriptively analyzed data revealed that the students considered the organization of online lessons and courses to be most beneficial, followed by the convenience of online learning. Students felt strongly that teachers clearly communicate lesson contents, that they can study flexibly online, that online class activities are explained well, and that their performances are evaluated fairly by their teachers. In terms of challenges, the students indicated that they mainly experience social issues. In particular, students expressed that they experience isolation from their peers and teachers and that they receive feedback in an untimely manner from their teachers. Surprisingly, most students indicated that they rarely if ever experience technical issues when learning online.
