Adults from deprived backgrounds face daunting barriers when it comes to the discovery of intrinsically motivating aspirations and the discovery and development of talents consistent with those aspirations. In contrast, privileged young people enjoy ideal conditions for establishing productive, purposeful life trajectories spiraling up toward long-term self-fulfillment. The barriers faced by the deprived are becoming even more formidable in today's highly complex, globalized, artificially social Darwinian socioeconomic system. Meanwhile, conditions in the 21st century are requiring a complex, difficult to acquire set of knowledge, skills, and dispositions, which include creative and critical thinking, interdisciplinary thinking, leadership, and purposeful self-development, among other abilities. Unfortunately, as with K-12 education, adult education programs are being forced to ignore the development of these 21st century capacities in favor of superficial, narrow, standardized, highly mechanistic knowledge and algorithmic skills. This article is intended to build awareness of the nature and demands of the 21st-century socioeconomic context, the dynamics of aspiration discovery and talent development, and the ways in which dogmatic ideology is pressuring education systems to ignore the needs of the deprived just when they require more instructional scaffolding than ever before to succeed in a highly complex, uncertain world.

Teaching introductory computer programming and choosing the proper tools and programming languages are challenging tasks. Most of the existing tools are not fully integrated into systems to support the teaching-learning processes. The present paper describes the usability evaluation of the Virtual Programming Lab module for Moodle (VPL-Moodle) based on a satisfaction questionnaire answered by 37 undergraduate students enrolled in CS1 and CS2 courses and 7 lecturers. Moreover, a heuristic evaluation performed by two specialists is also presented. Results of the descriptive and inferential analysis revealed mainly two things: (a) the VPL-Moodle has a low level of usability in all five aspects analyzed by the students: satisfaction, efficiency, learnability, helpfulness, and environment control; and (b) lecturers found some difficulties using the VPL-Moodle. A number of suggestions for the improvement of the VPL-Moodle interface are provided based on the findings of the paper.

This paper consists of a selective, critical literature review of research dealing with the potential relationship between bullying and the characteristics associated with potential status as creative, gifted, and talented. While no clear and direct indication exists that gifted or talented status produces risk for victimization, indirect evidence for such a relationship may be associated with three sets of mediating variables. First, we noted a more direct association between bullying and the intellectual and social climate within schools. Second, some bullying is probably motivated by the nature of gendered expectations, differentially impacting boys in literacy and fine arts and girls in mathematics and science. Finally, the individual level of social and linguistic skills appears to be associated with victimization. We propose a model for exploring bullying as a mediating variable between school climate issues and gifted-talented status and for investigating gender differences in manifestations of creativity and intellectual giftedness. In the proposed model, bullying serves as a mediating variable when considering the climate of the school and gender expectations on students' academic achievement as well as on the Creative, Gifted, and Talented (CGT) status and the quality of school life for these individuals.

The aim of this article is to dominate the educational aspects of historical level by examining the relationship between Rome and the Etruscan cities of Veii and Caere. Rome and Veii fought constant wars for control of the trade routes passing through the Tiber and its tributaries, which was necessary for the development of both states. In this struggle, Rome and Veii sought allies for themselves both among the Etruscans and among the Latins. Ultimately, Rome won over the Veii in 396 BC, thus the Roman tribes were founded on the land of the Veii, and the city fell into desolation. The relations with Caere developed in a different way, since there were no economic contradictions between the Romans and the Caerites. The relations were built on a peaceful basis, and Caere even helped the Romans during the Gallic invasion at the beginning of the 4th century BC: they received part of the population who fled from Rome, and their shrine, which was most important for the Romans. At the same time, Roman expansion at the end of the 5th-4th centuries BC. Led to the war between Rome and Caere, after which the Etruscan city was subordinated to Rome. The results of such research, above all, highlight the need to increase the level of educational knowledge in the field of history.

The article highlights the history and features of parliamentarism development in the Latin America countries. In addition, the need for training on the subject and the effect of increasing students and educators' awareness in this field is examined. This process was lengthy, replete with the examples of various social groups, political trends and parties struggle intensity increase. Since the beginning of the 19th century, there have been almost no favorable conditions for the practical implementation of democratic government in the countries of Latin America, and the institutionalization of the party system has not taken place yet. However, there have been exceptions to the general rule in the history of Latin America. Chile and Argentina were such an example. The success of democratic transformations in the countries of the region depended on various reasons: (a) whether the country had a democratic experience in its past; (b) the conditions for the political and economic development of this country to develop representative institutions in the future; (c) the importance of the parties in the political course development and the adoption of state decisions. The results of democracy and parliamentarism development in the states of Latin America are rather complicated by the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. On the one hand, the last decades of the XX-th century and the beginning of this century was marked by the democratization of political life, reforms, and the replacement of military regimes with civilian governments. Since the beginning of the 60-ies, they started the process of democratization and formation of independent island states in the Caribbean and Central America. Despite the successful development of the economy, culture, education, the presence of a large middle class in Argentina, the military governments overcame civilian ones in the 30-70-ies. Therefore, it is needed to consider this aspect as a part of education system to improve the educators' level.

Throughout the process of child development, emotions evidence a vital role. This conceptual analysis focuses on the significant position of emotional intelligence and children with disabilities and other special needs. Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a concept that describes the ability to recognize personal emotions and how emotions trigger behaviors. Many educational settings, including kindergarten through 8th grade and post-secondary institutions, and health care facilities remain as the forerunners of 1) providing age-appropriate learning, highlighting child development, 2) training the next generation of professionals to work with individuals with disabilities, and 3) promoting continuity of care in facilities tailored to guide and promote effective growth and development for persons with disabilities. Many post-secondary academic programs involve foundational EI techniques that focus on quality-based service delivery and preparing graduates for practice in diverse settings. In addition, an increasing number of graduates advance into alternative therapies such as physical or occupational therapy, speech therapy, and respiratory therapy to implement their acquired skillset to further support persons with disabilities. This premise assumes that a degree from a program that places emphasis on the foundations of EI instills graduates with an increased capacity for empathic relationships, a broad spectrum of understanding mental connections to physical conditions, and an insightful understanding of the world and how significant issues may be affecting individuals through an EI lens.

In this paper, early childhood teacher educators describe their work to provide opportunities for pre-service teacher candidates to engage in specific practices that facilitate reflection and planning related to enhancing toddlers' engagement during free play. The practices targeted were structured by the instructor and supported by the mentor teacher and included observation; guided written reflection; collective discussion and reflection; and intentional planning. Each practice and how it was implemented and completed by the instructor and students are discussed. As a result of participating in the practices, teacher candidates identified several factors they believed impacted toddlers' engagement during free play. They included location of centers, materials, and other people, variety of materials, adult interaction, and children's interests, all of which aligned with prior research. Implications for practice for pre-service teacher preparation programs and practicing teachers are provided.
