Tertiary vocational programs offered in a small remote town in Aotearoa, New Zealand, were delivered in partnership with indigenous community organizations and other stakeholders to prepare people for future regional developments in primary industries. An evaluation investigated the impact of these programs on students, their families, and the community. Qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with staff, students, and community stakeholders. Student outcomes were high across all programs evaluated. Participants attributed the high success rate for students, the majority of whom were indigenous, to the strong relationships developed and fostered between community people, students, and teaching staff and to the relevance of the programs with clear links to the region's economic development goals. They emphasized the importance of educational pathways from school into tertiary education. Tertiary study impacted not only the students, many of whom were previously disengaged from education, but also their extended families. The evaluation confirmed the value of partnering with communities to deliver vocational education that meets their identified needs.

This piece draws on multiple voices to reflect on a collaborative project between university-based researchers and a local community organization devoted to Indigenous Blackfoot children and their families. The evolution of the project from one based on photo-elicitation to one devoted to building a digital storytelling library meant a methodological shift to acknowledge the role of translation in encounters between university researchers and community practitioners, between Elders and youth, and between settlers and Indigenous people. Our experience provides lessons on the importance of taking seriously the moments when difference is encountered and translated during the research and community-building process.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the South African government's response of a lockdown required the cessation of all clinical training. Virtual environments offered alternative methods of teaching and learning clinical skills in an attempt to mitigate the cancellation of first year students' clinical visits. The research question of how a simulated workplace environment could replace first year students' workplace visits was addressed. A case study at a University of Technology focusing on a radiation therapy program provided an opportunity for academic and clinical lecturers and first year students to consider the qualities of the Virtual Environment for Radiotherapy Training. Findings indicated that the environment could be incorporated into emergency remote teaching to enhance student learning as it provided an engaging, safe, and effective space in which to learn clinical skills. These findings have implications for the design of responsive curricula for the changing higher education and professional landscapes.

As the world reacts to the impact of COVID-19, work-integrated learning (WIL) programs globally are similarly affected. Across Canada and Australia, thousands of WIL students either shifted to working remotely or dismissed from their WIL experience. This disruption impacted student learning, program delivery, risk management, staff capability, and industry engagement, and posed significant challenges for institutions. This paper presents the responses to COVID-19 by the University of Waterloo, Canada, and RMIT University, Australia, each guided by quality WIL principles and different WIL organizational structures. This paper outlines how each institution: mobilized staff, introduced program changes while maintaining quality, engaged industry partners and presented WIL program-based solutions to COVID-19 challenges. The paper concludes with discussion on challenges and opportunities that events such as COVID-19 has upon WIL programs, implications for other institutions and student outcomes. Consideration is given to post-COVID scenarios, and how WIL might need to be re-imagined.

Social and economic transformation in modern society, the sophistication of world financial systems, and, as a result, changes in the hierarchy of human needs, conceptually new interests and requirements of the entire society have determined the relevance of the issue on the formation of financial literacy and financial capability of schoolchildren. Awareness of the necessity to address the issue leads to the creation of various strategies, projects, and curricula. The key methods of research include the following: analysis of academic literature that discloses the meaning of financial literacy as a multivariate concept; analysis of psychological-pedagogical literature and scientific research results of native and foreign authors in the field of improvement of the financial culture of children and youth; modeling of the conceptual model of financial literacy and financial capability formation of comprehensive schoolchildren in the course of mathematics. The authors have developed the conceptual model of the formation of financial literacy and financial capability of comprehensive schoolchildren in the course of mathematics. This model is based on interrelated scientific principles, unified as a single system, and integrated methodological approaches (system-activity, competence-based, synergetic, simulation, contextual, social, and cultural), has its own goal, objectives, means for achieving them, predicted outcome of the research. All the components of the model are considered as interdependent. The model is theoretically, methodologically and technically justified. Its quality is determined by its completeness, concreteness, tenability and feasibility, optimality of the mix of mathematical and economical components. The practical implementation of the authors' conceptual model could contribute to the mobilization of resources of schoolchildren's personal development and further efficient utilization of these resources in different fields of activity that is, therefore, could lead to the growth of the society's &quot;vital capacity&quot;. The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 19-413-480013.

Student success in nursing degree programs is contingent upon work-integrated learning (WIL) success, particularly given the mandated curriculum requirement for clinical hours in WIL environments. The impacts of COVID-19 disrupted study and resulted in anxiety for nursing students. For most first year nursing students this also included an interruption of their socialization to university, provoking uncertainty. This paper presents a case study of the development and implementation of a new virtual environment explorer tool for simulated learning at one multi-campus university in Australia (February-June 2020). COVID-19 illuminated the extended utility of this tool, for supporting ongoing nursing student orientation to the university environment and to the materiality of the simulated clinical setting. Educational theory is drawn upon to discuss the implementation and evaluation, of this tool, within the COVID-19 context. Findings suggest inclusive teaching practices underpin effective preparation for WIL, especially in uncertain times, and must be valued more highly.

This paper details a new dimension to an existing internship program developed in response to the effects of COVID-19 in a creative industries faculty at a large Australian university. Recent changes to workplace activities, as a result of the pandemic, have offered an opportunity to test a mode of internships in which students work and engage remotely, via on-line modes, with a workplace. Analysis of the offering is conducted using the Community of Inquiry framework. Outcomes confirm the concept of remote internships as appropriate strategies that can not only support improved student retention in the short term, but offer new opportunities for enriched, broadened and more equitable internship experiences. Workplace-based internships, while offering high impact and authentic experiences, are often difficult for many students who are unable to attend workplaces to complete the required hours due to a range of other work, study, and life factors. The new remote internship, seeks to overcome these barriers.

Intrinsic motivation has a crucial role in students' learning and should therefore be taken into consideration in educational activities. In this study, the short scale of intrinsic motivation scale developed by Wilde et al. in 2009 was adapted to Turkish Culture. This is an intrinsic motivation scale, which is an adapted, time-economic version of the &quot;Intrinsic Motivation Inventory&quot; introduced by Deci and Ryan. The short scale has four factors, namely interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, perceived choice and pressure/tension with three items each. Data were collected from 230 high school students in two public high schools in Northwestern Turkey in order to analyze the scale's factorial and construct validity. The linguistic equivalence step was carried out by consulting expert opinion because intrinsic motivation differs from one context to another. Results from a confirmatory factor analysis, construct validity and tests for reliability showed that its version adapted to Turkish is a good and time-saving assessment tool for measuring intrinsic motivation during lessons.
