The social, economic and technological changes of the 21st century have increased the awareness of teachers and educational researchers of the importance of a relevant and interesting learning environment, collaborative learning, personalization and values in education. However, most of the currently available programs focus on only one of these changes, making it difficult for the education system to implement all the changes together. In addition, the programs focus mainly on the pedagogical aspects and not on the constraints of the system. As a result, many of today's programs are pedagogically correct, but are very difficult to implement in educational systems. The EACH model is unique in that it focuses on the combination of the learning environment, collaborative learning, personalization and values in education, and is designed in a way that takes into account the constraints of the educational system. The assimilation of the model in Herzliya brought with it a reinforcement of pedagogical processes with an emphasis on the learning skills required of a scholar in the 21st century. Accordingly, the EACH model is an implementable program for every municipal education system. The model uses a city's resources to provide learners with a meaningful learning experience and provides them with tools and learning and thinking skills that are adapted to the complex reality of the 21st century. The EACH model is based on four principles: (1) education &amp; values, (2) academy, (3) community, and (4) research. The model has been successfully applied in the city of Herzliya, Israel, and is recommended for other cities around the world.

It is a fact that the world was caught unprepared for the COVID-19 outbreak. Especially when the epidemic broke out in many countries, educational activities were suspended for a while, and then distance education was started. Since this process is the result of a sudden transition, it has been seen that it brings with it many difficulties. Among these difficulties, perhaps the most prominent was the situation of students who need special education and special education teachers. In this direction, the aim of the study is to determine the difficulties experienced by students with special needs and special education teachers in this process. This research was carried out within the framework of the qualitative method. Within the scope of the research, 20 special education teachers were reached, and their opinions were taken with a semi-structured interview form. The responses received were divided into codes and categories, which were analyzed by content analysis, one of the qualitative analysis methods. According to the findings, special education teachers stated that they had the most difficulty in communicating with their students while negating the distance education process. Accessibility problem was also stated as an important problem and the problems caused by low parental technology literacy were emphasized. Although special education teachers find positive justifications for ensuring that education somehow continues in the distance education process, they make several valuable suggestions for structuring the system more inclusive and for all potential users. Platforms for students who need special education in the distance education process can be designed to support topics such as content, interaction, socialization. The family can take a more active role in this process as a stakeholder. For this, family members can be motivated with the necessary prior information and demands full of expectations.

This study aims to examine the benefits of incorporating online courses, MyELT, for General English (GE) curricula and to investigate the challenges that negatively affect the expediency of the courses in improving the students' English proficiency and digital literacy. 351 participants were randomly selected and responded to a questionnaire and out of which 15 were conveniently selected for a semi-structured interview. Qualitative data was also collected through personal journaling to record hidden challenges for the expediency of MyELT. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings correlated and revealed that MyELT courses were beneficial in their flexibility as they helped fulfilling GE courses' description and proportionately improved students' English proficiency and digital literacy. Neither students' perceptions nor teachers' roles and background were challenging factors. The expediency of MyELT was, thus, challenged by four factors namely: teachers' teaching practices, their inability to mentor students' performance which further instigated some students to do unethical practices, the company system of accessibility, and MyELT courses content.

The study was intended to model online learning engagement of international students studying in Indonesia to determine which factors affect learner engagement. A survey was conducted online, and 102 international students filled the questionnaire. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was used for data analysis. The results show that the variables: university support (T = 2.881, P&lt; 0.01), motivation (T = 3.411, P&lt; 0.01), and personal innovativeness (T = 2.426, P&lt; 0.05) were the significant predictors of international students' engagement in online learning. Other variables like instructor interactivity, student-material interaction, student-student interactions, and self-regulated learning didn't significantly affect learner engagement. The findings of this exploration can be used as empirical data for higher education institutions' managers when developing support programs for international students during their studies in a destination country. Other findings' implications and recommendations are discussed.

The purpose of the present study was to assess relationship between Grit and Academic Resilience among school students. The sample consisted of 120 school students with equal number of males and females (Male=60 &amp; Female=60) from various private schools of Chandigarh, Ludhiana and Phagwara. Short Grit Scale, Grit- S (Duckworth &amp; Quinn, 2009) and Motivation and Engagement Scale-High School (MES-HS) 12th edition (Martin, 2012) were used to gather data. It was hypothesized that there will be a positive correlation between self-belief, persistence and control components of Academic Resilience and Grit; and negative correlation between anxiety component of Academic Resilience and Grit. Males were hypothesized to score higher on Grit scale than females. Pearson Product Moment correlation was used to analyze the data and t-test was used to determine the gender differences. The results of the analysis showed a positive correlation between self-belief and persistence components of Academic Resilience and Grit and a negative correlation between control and anxiety components of Academic Resilience and Grit. T-test indicated no significant differences in Grit amongst male and female participants. The findings of the present study have very important implications for Indian education system. It paves a way for further exploration of Academic Resilience and Grit amongst school students and their contribution to student efficiency.

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries have had to review their education policies and make adjustments accordingly. In this regard, distance education has been adopted in universities in Turkiye, and each university has created its own distance education strategy. Distance education, once only a complementary to education, replaced traditional education when the pandemic turned out to be unlikely to end in the short run. Although some universities are experienced in distance education, this sudden pandemic has caused disruptions (digital inequality, technological infrastructure problems, etc.) and unprecedented situations catching most universities off-guard. One of these is the emergence or the change of alienation seen in academic staff due to distance education. The aim of the study is to identify the work alienation of academics during the COVID-19 pandemic and reveal the underlying reasons, with the help of semi-structured interview technique within the framework of the phenomenological approach, one of the qualitative research methods. For this purpose, interviews through the Google Meet application were held with 12 academics. Content analysis was applied to the data obtained from these interviews. As a result, it was found that the interviewed academics were adversely affected by the distance education method and they were not competent enough to use it. It was also revealed that they were unable to identify their demands regarding their economical and technical needs yet at the same time they were not satisfied with the support provided by their institutions.
