COVID-19 has impacted the majority of the world's sectors. In most places throughout the world, education is the only industry that has entirely transitioned to an online method. During the pandemic, online learning was the ideal choice for continuing education, particularly in tertiary education. The purpose of this study is to identify the issues and hurdles that English language learners (EFL) have when transitioning to online learning in the second semester of 2020 because to the COVID-19 epidemic. This study's contribution is to analyse learners' new experiences in online education and to examine the practicality of virtual ways of learning. The study discovered that the primary issues influencing and impacting online EFL learning during COVID-19 are technological, academic, and communication concerns. This study focuses on the obstacles and variables that influence the acceptability and usage of E-Learning as a teaching tool in higher education. As a result, it will aid in the development of a strategic plan for the effective implementation of e-learning, as well as the acceptance of technology as a good step toward evolution and transformation.
Inquiry-Based Learning in Primary Education

Different methodologies have arisen in the last century, and all of them advocate for a change of the traditional method. In this paper, Inquiry-Based Learning is introduced in an experimental group (17 students) to see the different results of children following this innovative method as compared to the control group (16 students) that followed the traditional method. The participants of the study are doing the third year of Primary Education in Spain. The assessment results showed that although just after the post-test both groups did not have significant differences, they became more prominent when the test was repeated in a couple of weeks. This suggests that inquiry-based learning is a better methodology to teach Science due to the students' significant learning, their interest and motivation, and the academic results achieved. The biggest problem we are concerned with is if children acquire the knowledge or it is just because they study to pass the exams.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the digital knowledge emerged in the context of the information society and that has introduced new cultural profiles in young people, called digital natives by the academic literature. It is approached according to hermeneutic theoretical and methodological principles where, through the analysis and reflection of different research experiences, it was possible to unveil these digital knowledges in the teacher training processes to respond to the learning styles of contemporary student profiles. The study allows to conclude that there is a great opportunity for the construction of contemporary cultural profiles, both of university teachers and students, as well as of the university community itself, with an impact on the educational processes when making decisions, in their training from the appropriation of a culture and the good use of information and communication technologies and experiences that have left the pandemic by the COVID-19. This adaptation and innovation have allowed to create and recreate family, academic and work life, looking for alternatives of constant change and where this stage of emergency has been an opportunity for growth in knowledge in science and technology, together with public policies as part of the training processes.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the right to education of people in the context of confinement within the framework of the National Constitution of Paraguay. Education is a fundamental right of every person, guaranteed and recognized in national and international instruments. The problem is generated with the vulnerable social sector, such as people in confinement who are more prone to exclusion. It is based on the premise of the constitutional principle of the right to education, without discrimination, although it is the State that must regulate and protect compliance with this principle, since one of the main objectives of the sentence is the readaptation of the convicted person, and what better way to do this than through education. The present research was of a bibliographic, qualitative type that integrated relevant theoretical events with the purpose of knowing and analyzing the perception and the social reality studied, through exhaustive reading in diverse sources and compilation of official materials of the different institutions in charge, yielding the following results: The distribution of the population, according to the judicial district, indicates that most of the persons deprived of liberty settle their cases in the Central Department, 31%; and in the Capital, 24.2%. Out of a total of 11,852 valid cases obtained for this variable, 70.8% of the population studied is in pretrial detention, and 29.2% is under sentence. A total of 86.8% of the population studied belonged to the young (18 to 29 years) and young adult (30 to 45 years) age groups. The most frequent crimes attributed to men were: aggravated robbery (23.50%); intentional homicide (16.05%); violation of the drug law (15.52%) and aggravated robbery (9.36). Also noteworthy are: sexual abuse of children (7.11%); and domestic violence (6.72%). Persons deprived of liberty beneficiaries of the reinsertion programs period 2016 -2019 amount to 4,152 (four thousand one hundred and fifty-two), which represents approximately 26.4% of 15,739 as of May 2019, i.e., it is a tiny amount compared to the total population. Then it can be concluded that evidently the state policies of education for persons deprived of liberty are insufficient and limited, there is a failure to comply with the law. Although progress has been made in the area of education in prisons, it is necessary to consider the reconstruction of a comprehensive program that can cover all levels through partnerships between public and private institutions in order to effectively achieve accessibility to education for people in prison.
Deconstructing the Art of Grantsmanship: The Roles of the Storyteller, Grant Writer, Typesetter, Proofreader, Accountant and Reviewer

Background: The content presents a conceptually powerful and attractive framework for understanding the proposal development process to capture the complexity of the steps that contribute to successful grant writing. Based on experiences from 15 years in research administration and using real-life examples, the author juxtaposes the diverse roles required of grants professionals in creating a competitive grant application. In the context of increasing university emphasis on attracting extramural grant funding, this timely article focuses on proposal development skills using a step-by-step process including a sixpart analysis of each role within the framework, dividing the role into primary subtopics all highly relevant to each specific role. By deconstructing the art of grantsmanship, the whole suite of proposal development processes is considered with this approach with the intention that research development professionals will have solid actionable guidance in a cohesively planned delivery to capture the intricate mechanisms that translate to successful grantsmanship and acquire a set of tools to use to train grant seekers.
He-ART-istic Journeys: Transformative Experiential Learning through Applied Theatre

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Transformative Learning,Experiential Learning,Theater Arts,Diseases

Employing applied theatre techniques of playbuilding, research-grounded scene development, and facilitated workshops has the potential to provide transformative learning. The He-ART-istic Journeys-Heart DIS-ease play is one example that invites learners to experience (living with heart disease). This aesthetic encounter creates a reflective space that embraces the uncertainty of (un)knowing-necessary to participate in relearning. Engaging in Mirror Theatre's method of dialogic exploration, we share two scenes that demonstrate the pedagogical potential and creative process for transformative teaching purposes.

Subjects: Integrated Curriculum,STEM Education,Content Analysis,Periodicals,Educational Research,Interdisciplinary Approach

In this content analysis, the authors examined articles from three international STEM journals to highlight and indicate if there were any trends for iSTEM research from 2013 to 2018. Of the 296 articles analyzed in this content analysis, 41 investigated the integration of STEM disciplines. Findings revealed that integrated STEM (iSTEM) education research is often qualitative and occurs in the United States. This study also indicates an upward trend in the percentage of iSTEM education research from 2013 to 2018, and many of the articles focused on middle school students. A closer examination of the introductions, backgrounds, and literature reviews of the 41 articles revealed four explicit definitions for iSTEM education. Furthermore, STEM and Education were the most frequently used author keywords and ERIC descriptors.

International research administration continues to draw significant interest in its practice. As projects and associated problems become more global, collaboration between teams in different countries also will grow in size and in complexity. This study set out to understand the challenges of such collaborative efforts by research administrators within international research teams. The result was an identification of characteristics that members of multi-national teams possess. The study found that training is critical to collaborative teams, cultural communication (or lack thereof) remains a significant barrier, and formal and defined roles and responsibilities for team members supports good governance. These observations beget best practices that can be used by research administrators and managers who participate in international team projects. It is recommended that a training and compliance mechanism be developed and customized per project. These mechanisms would discuss potential cultural differences, provide communication guidance, and specify roles and responsibilities for each team member so as not to duplicate efforts and to produce high levels of organization and coordination.

Podcasting as a platform has broadly progressed into a popular resource for communication, including advancing knowledge, science, and medicine through research dissemination. First, there is evidence to indicate that podcasting has evolved into a &quot;second wave&quot; as an effective tool to be used in academia and that it can help disseminate research findings to reach other scholars in the field. However, there is also a growing body of literature to indicate it is being used more frequently to communicate, tapping into information that is primarily generated through scholarly work to reach a broader and more general audience. The purpose of this paper is to examine the following research question: How effective is the use of podcast technology for academic research dissemination, research communication, and promotion? This paper also took into account some podcasts representing research, notably VIEW to the U produced by the Office of the Vice-Principal, Research at University of Toronto Mississauga. This research also considered gaps in the current literature related to the effectiveness of audio outputs in research.
The R&amp;D Canvas: A Design Thinking Tool for the Management of R&amp;D Projects

Research and Development (R&amp;D) projects are inherently ambitious, complex, uncertain, and risky. On the one hand, they increasingly involve diversified groups of people and entities that gather around common goals, with different objectives for each one. On the other hand, science and technology policies promoted and implemented by public entities are gaining momentum, translating into more R&amp;D funding opportunities but also into more competition and accountability for the use of public funds. Research managers and administrators are, therefore, faced with growing challenges when coping with all these aspects and leading teams of scientists, companies, users, and other stakeholders towards successful projects. Traditional project management frameworks have been used and adapted to help the R&amp;D project manager. However, the potential of design thinking principles and practices in this context has yet to achieve its full potential. This is quite surprising bearing in mind that both R&amp;D projects and design thinking share a central characteristic: the key role of creativity and co-creation in assuring successful initiatives. In this paper, the rationale for a new tool for R&amp;D management based on design thinking principles is presented. The relevant literature is reviewed, and the concepts that previous researchers have suggested are analyzed. The interplay between classical project management approaches and the creativity-driven nature of every R&amp;D initiative is rationalized. The findings are used to develop a conceptual framework for a tool which can help research managers and administrators in facilitating the successful development of R&amp;D initiatives. The usefulness of the R&amp;D Canvas to the research management and administration profession is centered on its multi-purpose usability as an effective planning and communication tool that facilitates the incorporation of creativity and co-development practices in the highly heterogeneous contexts characteristic of contemporary R&amp;D endeavors.

Faculty Research Development (FRD) in higher education institutions (HEI) is often implemented haphazardly and rarely evaluated. In this paper, we introduce a robust assessment framework (CERTi) that utilizes an overarching (Macro-level) adult-learner faculty-centric theoretical framework which incorporates using qualitative, quantitative, and economic evaluations (Micro-Level) to assess FRD efforts at HEI conjointly. The framework's cyclical approach begins by assessing FRD program effectiveness, followed by an in-depth examination of implementation practices to assess FRD program efficacy, then measures program return-on-investment (ROI), ultimately repeating the process for continuous improvement.

While it has been established that participation in interdisciplinary teams is likely to have a positive impact on researchers' careers, it has been questioned whether these researchers were already destined for success. If high-achieving faculty members are simply taking advantage of the availability of internal funds to boost their already high rates of productivity, internal programs designed to support the formation of novel teams and to enhance the impact of an institution's research portfolio may not be advancing their objectives. In this study, we examine whether applicants to an interdisciplinary funding program are already more productive than other faculty members, including those who apply for traditional (non-interdisciplinary) internal funding support. Data were drawn from several sources: Academic Analytics, which provides productivity data that allows for comparisons of faculty members within fields; the Office of the Vice Provost for Research's data on internal funding program applications; the Office of Research Administration's data on external grant proposal submissions; data from an internal survey on perceptions of the university's research climate; and Scopus, which provides individual faculty members' h-indices and lists of publications and citations. Results indicate that faculty members who join interdisciplinary research teams and are awarded internal funding are not more or less likely to be &quot;superstars.&quot; This not only provides support for assertions that interdisciplinary programs can lead to team innovation and professional growth of individual faculty members, but also provides a blueprint for the establishment of baseline measures that can be used to help evaluate the impact of internal funding programs.
