The first climate change conference was held in 1979 in Geneva and sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization. Since then there have been many other initiatives and accords along the way. Each report appears to present an evermore grim picture than the previous one. Cumulatively, we have had more than enough science to know what to do, and yet we still hurtle towards catastrophe. From an educational perspective, this paper explores two questions: What will it take to nurture healers and restorers of the earth? And what holds us back? These questions are examined, as they relate to teacher education, through the lens of &quot;wild pedagogies.&quot; Two new touchstones explicitly for teacher educators are developed in response.

While School Placement is long established as a central component of Initial Teacher Education programmes, there is an increasing awareness that these placement experiences should go beyond the practical activities most directly associated with teaching. This paper considers how engagement in a school placement period with a focus on non-teaching activities contributes to the professional and personal development of student-teachers, and to their sense of 'belonging' while on placement. Drawing primarily on the analysis of data obtained from online logs maintained by student-teachers during this predominantly non-teaching placement, it establishes the activities that they engaged in, and their reflections and opinions about the value of these experiences and this practicum placement. Findings include an increased sense of belonging to the school community, greater confidence and a stronger sense of identity as teacher.

This study aims to provide the correct behaviors towards listening to music and inform students about this topic attending primary and middle schools. For this purpose, 15 schools in the Giresun school district were determined through a random selection method and the students who were studying in these schools received training on listening to music. The educational curriculum is developed by expert opinions, which includes the following subjects: the difference between hearing and listening, the definition of music, concert and recital, the importance of going to a concert, the ways to be informed about concerts, rules to follow in a concert, and basic information regarding concert halls. The trainings were completed within 2 class hours in each school and supported by audiovisual materials within the school facilities. This study used a single group pretest-posttest experimental design, and a 15-question test was implemented to measure the achievement of students. The students answered this test before and after participating in the training process, and the results were analyzed using quantitative analysis methods. The dependent sample t-test was used for the significance of the difference between the pre and posttest scores. The results indicated that there was a significant difference in all schools between the pretest and posttest scores in favor of posttest. Based on this finding, it can be concluded that the listening education that was given to students was effective and had attained its intended purpose.

The &quot;Occupational Anxiety Scale&quot; was used to collect the data from the sample group in the study. The &quot;Independent Samples t-test&quot;, which is one of the parametric tests, was conducted to reveal the differences according to the gender variable while another parametric test, the &quot;One-way Variance Analysis&quot;. Furthermore, the &quot;Pearson Correlation Analysis&quot; was conducted to determine the nature and the level of correlation between dependent variables. In the study, statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in the subscale of &quot;occupational exam&quot; according to the gender variable. According to the variable of the grade level, significant differences were observed between the groups in the subscale of &quot;adaptation&quot;. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was observed that the subscales of &quot;occupation&quot; and &quot;job orientation&quot; were positively and very strongly correlated, which was also the strongest correlation in the analysis. On the other hand, the weakest correlation was determined to be between the subscales of &quot;occupational exam&quot; and &quot;colleagues and parents&quot;, which was a positive and weak correlation (p&lt;0.05). It was discovered that the occupational anxiety of prospective teachers was generally based on the occupational exam and adaptation.

As the world population increases, the issue of using freshwater resources efficiently becomes more important. Using water, which is an indispensable resource for life, consciously and sustainably, to be sensitive, in short, to be water literate is a necessity for all citizens of the world. Turkey is a country living water scarcity. Therefore, it is a country where water literacy studies should conduct. As it is the first comprehensive study of water literacy in Turkey, the present study becomes significant in the field. This study aims to determine the water literacy levels of high school students in Turkey. In the present study, Data was gathered through the Water Literacy Questionnaire. The Water Literacy Questionnaire was designed by Sözcü and Türker (2020) and consists of three sections. The questionnaire was applied to 3202 high school students living in different regions. As a result of the study, the water literacy of high school students was at 'Good Level' in general. When the sub-dimensions of water literacy were analyzed, high school students were very good at water-saving and good at water sensitivity, but remain at medium level in terms of water consciousness. In light of the results, some recommendations have been made to increase water literacy.

E-learning is becoming mainstream and novel driving force for the learning and training. Industry and educational institutions are investing heavily in this electronic mode of training and education because of its accessibility, ease of training, up-to-the-minute learning, effectiveness of cost and flexibility. Besides its advantages, low level of uptake in this mode of learning is perceived due to lower quality of these systems. Therefore, this work intends to gather the proposed Critical Success Factors (CSFs) from state-of-the-art literature regardless of the dimension and/or perspective in which these CSFs have been proposed. Moreover, this study scrutinizes the coverage and effect of CSFs on the quality of e-learning systems according to their severity and importance for higher education institutions. Intensive literature review has been done for identification and collection of CSFs regardless of their perspective. Empirical investigations were conducted to extract the CSFs influencing quality of e-learning systems. Cronbach's Alpha and factor analysis method has been utilized to ensure the reliability and ranking the identified factors.

Open and distance learning (ODL) system is unique, flexible, less costly and preferable mode of education across the world. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) concept, and its related laws and procedures particularly plagiarism are new in the education system of Pakistan. The objectives of the study were to find out the causes of infringement of intellectual property rights especially plagiarism and compare the opinions of faculty members and learners on implementation of plagiarism policy. The population of the study was all enrolled research students (Ph.D) of Education (2013-2014) and the faculty of Education, Allama Iqbal Open University. Sample consisted of all 35 scholars and 25 faculty members. Self-developed five-point Likert scale was used to collect data for the study. The research instrument was validated through expert opinion (face validity). The overall analysis of the first part of the questionnaire revealed about various causes of plagiarism including fear of failure to cope with others' intellectual work and poor time management skills of students. The results of the study recommended that a policy about using various sources may be included in the course syllabus. Plagiarism detection services may be used cautiously and, in case of violation of plagiarism policy, disciplinary actions may be taken against the involved learner and advisor.
