The purpose of this self-directed learning (SDL) project for my doctoral level &quot;Adult Learning in Social Contexts&quot; class in the fall of 2018 was to develop an idea to use photography, music, and writing to tell a person's trauma story. Memory Narratives (MN) as a creative method for women survivors of abuse returning to college (WSARC) to choose how to talk about a painful passage in their educational and life journeys can be an effective arts-based and narrative approach in adult education. I was able to explore from both an emic and etic perspective my own positionality and subjectivity as a qualitative researcher in relationship to future research interests with both educational and therapeutic implications.

As our society becomes more globalized and interconnected, technology adoption to support lifelong learning presents a continuous challenge for immigrants who need to acquire, update or adjust their learning and skills to the requirements of the host country. Consequently, technology adoption has become an important factor for immigrants to fulfill their specific educational needs with mobile devices allowing ubiquitous access to knowledge at anytime and anywhere. Besides the technical characteristics required for new services that challenge current network architectures, COVID-19 has become an accelerator to immigrants' technology adoption. Social distancing regulations have added pressure to technology adoption for educational purposes. In this paper, we explore how 5G technologies meet these requirements establishing a benchmark for immigrant's mobile learning strategy. Our descriptive framework aims to contribute to the understanding of educational uses of mobile technologies by migrants and the technical requirements to be provided by 5G technologies that will enhance the use of technology for educational purposes. Some 5G applications will be discussed emphasizing their contribution to the learning of immigrants and the actual distance regulations. [For the full proceedings, see ED613257.]

This qualitative, phenomenological research study was designed to study the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on teacher interactions with students with special needs during the mandatory school closures that took place during March of 2020. This study consisted of seven interviews with special education teachers, from three different districts, located in Menominee and Delta counties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Participant responses to interview questions (See Appendix C), revealed six common themes: 1. Inability to consistently connect with students and a lack of participation amongst students. 2. Lack of training and no prior online teaching experience. 3. Lack of available technology and connectivity available for all students. 4. Lack of ordinary routine and direct instruction. 5. Academic and emotional regressions in students. 6. Having resources that align with the online platforms that districts are using With the findings of this study, school leaders may be able to develop policies that will better serve students with special needs in the event of future long-term school closures.

Spring 2020 marked the onset of one of the most tumultuous eras in recent memory. The rapid spread of COVID-19 wreaked havoc on communities across the globe, and in the U.S., the epicenter of the outbreak was located in Washington State. Beyond the immediate concerns around personal health and safety, COVID-19 produced a host of other issues that caused significant disruption in all areas of life. States shut down their economies to curb the spread of the disease, booting millions of Americans from the labor force and onto unemployment insurance. This abrupt and comprehensive shutdown differed from any event in recent history, leaving many unknowns as we look towards recovery. How well this crisis is responded to hinges on the ability to anticipate the impact, mitigate the negative consequences, and bolster areas that will aid in recovery. One way to do that is to learn from history. Using a prior significant economic downturn, the Great Recession, as an example, the authors will examine the effects of the great recession on higher education and the labor market, drawing lessons about resilience and recovery. This report will begin by examining the effects of the 2008 Great Recession on higher education and the labor market and the ensuing economic recovery. The authors then present observations from the growing body of evidence around student and workers' experiences during the current crisis, highlighting COVID-19's disproportionate impact on marginalized populations. Finally, the authors discuss priority areas for addressing educational inequities and economic challenges exacerbated by the pandemic. Ultimately, it is the hope that this report serves as a guide to policymakers and leaders in higher education in determining strategic priorities and paths towards recovery during these unprecedented times.

Career guidance plays an important role in helping product markets work and education systems to meet their goals. Because the choice of a career is undeniably one of the most crucial decisions one makes in life. The irony is that such an important decision is often made quite early in the life of an individual and is sometimes made without giving much thought to it. A career should be chosen with utmost care, thought, and planning. Individual have different innate capacities and abilities and hence aptitudes for different kind of work. The purpose of Career Guidance is to match the individuals and the occupation optimally for mutual benefits. It also promotes equity. Recent evidence suggests that social mobility relies on wider acquisition not just of knowledge and skills, but also understanding how to use them. In this context, the mission of career guidance is very vast, to become part of lifelong learning. In this paper, we become to know about the needs and importance of Career Guidance and its proper implementation. And we know how to improve CG for making children's beautiful life as well as for all of us. But today in some places of our country this service is already started and adapted, departing from a traditional model of occupational interviewing students about to leave school.

In response to concerns expressed by educational professionals, the researchers developed a quantitative Likert-scale survey to examine the relationships between academic performance (defined as final marks) and recreational video gaming and texting. Questions about video gaming and texting were included with other questions about social relations, extra-curricular activities, and leisure-time activities. The focus for inquiry was a Pakistan International School in Saudi Arabia. Complete data sets were obtained for 36 grade 9 students, based on anonymized school records and questionnaire responses. The researchers determined Spearman rho correlations with calculations of two-tailed probability of error. Non-educational video gaming correlated with self-concept, school experiences, relationships with peers, and other non-academic activities. Recreational texting also correlated with self-concept, school experiences, relationships with peers, and other non-academic activities. In this report, the results are collated into 17 tables that reveal coefficients ranging from moderate to perfect, based on correlating 142 pairs of variables concerning the following factors separated by gender: video games, texting, school, self-concept, peers, parents, and non-academic activities other than playing video games and texting. In consideration of their findings, the researchers recommend that school professionals advise parents and students of the negative effects of playing video games and texting excessively.

The COVID-19 crisis has upended life in the United States, extending well beyond health and safety concerns. Millions of Americans have faced financial instability as states have shut down their economies to curb the spread of the virus. As the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold, drawing lessons from history on resilience and recovery can inform a proactive response that improves the economic future and wellbeing of all people in Washington State. While this crisis is not the first one encountered, the nature and magnitude differ from the most recent precedent, the 2008 Great Recession. In previous recessions, the economy's downturn led to surges in higher education enrollment as people looked to improve their prospects for the future. But the COVID-19 crisis is different from past recessions. The massive shift to online learning in the spring left many students dissatisfied, and uncertainty around campus operations for the coming academic year may deter students from continuing their education. Many families are facing immense financial strain that may limit their ability to afford college. The pandemic also has the potential to exacerbate inequities in higher education enrollment, persistence, and completion, as students of color endure disproportionate health, financial, and academic hardships caused by COVID-19. Strengthening the higher education system and ensuring accessibility and effectiveness for all Washington residents is key to a strong recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. This executive summary presents a brief overview of priorities and promising practices, described in further detail in the full report (Kwakye and Kibort-Crocker, 2020).

Students at the College of Languages and Translation (COLT) take an Islamic Translation course in which they practice translating different kinds of Islamic texts (genres) including excerpts from the Holy Quran and the Prophet's Sayings. The aims of the present article are to introduce the students to the history of the translation of the Holy Quran. The Quran was translated by Arabists, non-Arab and Arab Muslims. Consequently, English translations vary in style and accuracy. Some translators preferred archaic English words and structures; some used simple modern English; others added commentary. Some translated the meanings of the Quranic verses; others gave a word-for-word translation. There are occasional misinterpretations, mistranslations, and even distortions. Translating the meanings of the Holy Quran has always been challenging for translators, as the Quran has an exoteric and an esoteric meaning. The Quranic style is characterized by &quot;rhyming prose&quot; and its message is conveyed through various literary styles and devices. In addition, a Quranic lexical item may have multiple versatile meanings, making an accurate translation even more difficult to produce as there is no on-to-one correspondence between the Arabic lexical items in the Quran and target language equivalents. The article proposes examples of activities in which translation students can engage in based on the English Quran translations, gives some resources and defines the role of the instructor.

Registered Apprenticeship for young people is an earn-and-learn program for women and men in their late teens and early twenties. It combines academics with paid work experience across many sectors. An essential part of the apprenticeship experience is to be paired with a mentor, who supports, advises, and instructs an apprentice(s) on the job. The quality of mentoring is critical to apprentices' learning and persistence in the program and is a major factor in program delivery success. This first edition of the Urban Institute's mentor guide has been developed for experienced workers who teach and advise youth apprentices at work. It provides a variety of tips for mentors, guidance on common mentoring topics, frequently asked questions, and links to resources. As a tool, it acts as a handy reference guide and is intended to be paired with other learning and/or preparation for mentors in executing effective apprenticeship programs.

California faces a shortfall of over two million degrees and certificates to meet employers' needs and promote economic mobility for its residents, but an impending wave of prospective students may satisfy this demand. This report describes the 5.1 million California adults ages 25 and older, representing nearly a fifth of the adult population, who plan to enroll in higher education in the next two years. The findings are based on a new and unique dataset that uses machine learning to combine survey results with a consumer database to catalog adults' interest in higher education. Interest in pursuing higher education is relatively higher among women, Latinx (Hispanic) Californians, adults ages 25-34, and those with household incomes of $35,000-$74,999. With a few exceptions, there are only minor differences in which type of institutions prospective students are interested in attending. Fifteen percent of California adults (3.9 million) intend to enroll in higher education and are interested in exclusively online instruction, an important fact given the limited capacity at the state's public universities. Men and Californians ages 55 and older are proportionally less interested in online instruction than other groups. The report concludes with policy recommendations for employers, postsecondary institutions, and policymakers. It encourages employers to offer employee tuition remission, build and maintain relationships with local postsecondary institutions, and offer meaningful work-based learning opportunities. It recommends institutional policies for adult learners, such as awarding credit for prior learning, offering programs with shorter terms and more frequent start dates, and improving online instruction and online provision of other services. It urges policymakers to continue efforts toward creating a comprehensive longitudinal data system, to reestablish a higher education coordinating entity, and to further expand the reach of broadband internet access.

In 1997, the Industrial Technology Education Association of Taiwan (ITEA-Taiwan) hosted the 1997 International Conference on Technology Education in the Asia-Pacific Region (ICTE) in Taipei. The ICTE constitution was signed and the Association to Association mode was formed at that conference. This mode has provided the technology educators in the Asia-Pacific region with a good platform for idea sharing and collaboration. In 2021, the ITEA-Taiwan hosted ICTE in Taipei for its third time. In order to enable technology educators and the ICTE participants in ICTE 2021 to better understand technology teacher education in the Asia-Pacific region, the Ministry of Education's K-12 Education Administration in Taiwan subsidized the Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology to edit and publish this book in 2020. The editors-in-chief planned manuscript guidelines, then invited authors from ICTE's 7 members and 1 observer to write country-specific chapters. A cross-country comparison was made in the 9th chapter. That is, this book complies articles about the technology education and technology teacher education from eight countries/areas in the Asia-Pacific region, specifically Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan and the United States. Technology education in this book refers to the technological literacy education as a realm of general education in primary and secondary schools. It includes both Design and Technology (D&amp;T)/Technology and Engineering (T&amp;E) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Book chapter authors are listed in this book.

The purpose of the pilot project was to investigate the benefits of an Educational Service District (ESD) Behavioral Health System Navigator to coordinate between the behavioral health and K-12 education systems to develop strategies to engage in regional partnerships to increase access to care for students who are eligible for Medicaid. The Navigator's work was built upon four core elements: (1) Coordination of Medicaid billing for schools and school districts in the educational service district (ESD) region; (2) Facilitation of partnerships across systems (state-ESD-district-regional partners); (3) Integration of service models to ensure the adequacy of system level supports for students in need of behavioral healthcare; and (4) Collaboration among the two pilots, Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), and other stakeholders. The report outlines the results of the 2-year pilot project (July 2017-June 2019). It begins with an analysis of the systems-level implementation of the pilot activities at both the state and regional levels. Details include the noteworthy impacts related to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction's improved knowledge and understanding of healthcare transformation, as well as its increased capacity to partner with the Health Care Authority (HCA) and to engage with other stakeholders to increase understanding of the publicly-funded behavioral health delivery system. It also includes a case study of each ESD's implementation of the project, viewed through the lens of the initial assumptions that predicated this work. In addition, the report summarizes the successes and challenges of the pilot sites' ability to increase access to care by exploring school-based Medicaid service delivery in K-12 settings. The report ends with a review of lessons learned and a set of recommendations to the Legislature.
