Currently, there are more technology related jobs then there are graduates in supply. The need to understand user acceptance of computing degrees is the first step in increasing enrollment in computing fields. Additionally, valid measurement scales for predicting user acceptance of Information Technology degree programs are required. The majority of existing research regarding methods for increasing enrollment focus on subjective measures that are often invalid or invalidated. This research study adapts a well-known, validated and established user acceptance of information technology model (TAM) developed by Davis in 1989. The TAM model was adapted to understand factors for the acceptance of information technology and was based on the long standing Theory of Reasoned Action from behavioral psychology. This work adapts TAM to explore factors that influence parents' decision to recommend Information Technology as a Major to their children. Since parents have a high degree of influence over the major selection of their children, determining factors for recommending IT as a major can assist IT programs in improved marketing to increase enrollment. In this work, we hypothesize that perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEoU) will impact a parent's likelihood of recommending IT as a major to their children. Results revealed parent's perception of the perceived usefulness of IT (PU) affected their willingness to recommend IT as a major to their children; conversely, parents were not concerned with the ease of use of IT (PEoU). Implications include improved marketing of IT programs to parents by focusing on the usefulness of IT as a discipline.

High emotional intelligence (&quot;EQ&quot;) is considered one of the greatest strengths of an alpha project manager, yet undergraduate project management students are not directly trained in EQ soft skills such as communication, politics and teamwork. This article describes examples of active learning exercises implemented in an undergraduate IT project management course to improve students' EQ skills in project management scenarios. Instruction emphasized the interplay of hard and soft skills in project management. In-class activities were designed to show students how to skillfully interact with peers and stakeholders on an IT project. This research provides examples of pedagogical interventions that involved students in their own learning and forced them to constructively engage with each other and with the material. This research contributes to the literature by demonstrating how to implement suggestions from research directly into pedagogy. Additionally, this research provides a set of activities that can be used to increase the EQ of students in a project management course. Based on the results from this study, the interventions worked as intended. Students reported higher EQ, critical thinking, and communication skills after completing the course.

A research on primary school education in the frame of education for sustainable development, as known as ESD, is important because the awareness of eco-friendly activities and environment empowerment cannot be developed in a short time. Meanwhile, human activities have caused significant environmental degradation. This is an exploratory study involving 240 participants from four primary schools in Semarang by applying stratified simple random sampling. The data were processed using a two-way test ANOVA and Partially Least Square. This study has found that primary school students in Semarang has a good understanding about the pillars of natural, social and ego in sustainable development. But, there are insignificant differences on the student understanding between class levels about eco-friendly issues. When the education level is higher, the students' understanding on eco-friendly education is not better. This research also has revealed that the school accreditation is insignificant to influence the students in understanding the ecofriendly issues. However, the knowledge stages in ESD innovation diffusion are applied. Therefore, the pattern of education which emphasized the students' knowledge on ESD is still relevant in building eco-friendly behavior.

The subject of astrology in the School of Eckankar has two main bases of Karma and reincarnation. Karma or the very law of action and reaction can be called the moral basis of the Eckankar. The totality of this law is accepted by the reason and tradition. But yet what casts doubt and therefore a serious damage to this law would be a tight connection between Karma and Incarnation in the School of Eckankar. This is because the ECK believes that Karma is incarnated through the transmigration, and moves from a birth to another one and this long way is continued up to the constellations. Therefore, in this writing and while explaining the Karma and accepting it in its totality, various types of incarnation are explained, and then it will be studied and criticized based on the teachings of Islam.

Due to its complex and microscopic nature, genetics is a difficult subject for many learners to conceptually grasp. Graphics, animation and video material can be extremely helpful to their understanding. A wealth of educational online content about genetics has been created over the past decade in the wake of the human genome being sequenced. However, these digital resources are distributed across disparate sites and it requires a high level of content and pedagogical knowledge to orchestrate the progression and choice of material available to the learner, as well as technical expertise to bundle the resources in a meaningful and accessible format. A contextualised learning sequence, called &quot;Gene Medicine&quot;, has been designed in LAMS by the author, a student teacher who has a doctorate in human genetics, and who has undertaken a career change to teach science to secondary students. This paper reflects an ongoing professional learning experience as the author integrates her high-content expertise and developing pedagogical knowledge within the LAMS digital environment.
