There has been comparable neglect of safety aspects and impacts in science and engineering curriculum design and development. It should become an integral part of the higher science education ecosystem. The academic scenario will be much greener if laboratory safety learning content is prescribed at college levels. It should address a multitude of laboratory safety issues in academic institutions, from laboratory design to technology, from conducting an academic audit to developing a sustainable safety culture. The right steps, such as proper coordination, monitoring by conducting inspections at regular intervals, and a robust accountability mechanism in implementing a safety training program, will ensure progress with favorable results. Developing the safety culture and focusing more on a deeper understanding of the risks is essential for efficient safety management. A practical and meaningful laboratory safety course in educational planning and management, promoted by proper motivation, academic guidance, and administrative support, is crucial. Commitment to safety and proper safety precautions based on knowledge, skill, and attitude would have a substantial impact on preventing many unnecessary accidental injuries due to carelessness or oversight. This article looks at the multiple perspectives on academic lab safety in a changing world.

It is a fact, undoubtedly, that the students of today are the bearers of a new culture – the virtual one. The virtual culture is easily accessible and it has a whole new world to offer. This is a global world with no boundaries, but at the same time, the culture of reading more and more becomes a remnant of the past. The main reason for this claim is that now one can find almost everything online, philosophy included. This is what causes the main issue philosophy, as a school subject, faces- it has to prove that adolescents need it. Beyond any doubt, philosophy is helps in the search for a meaning in life and can be helpful in the students’ world, but not as a list of eternal questions and a system of eternal truth but rather as an irreplaceable culture of questions and answers, of dialogue and discussion. The competences that Philosophy creates in students are related to their skills to participate in discussions and debate, to development of the way of thinking and also to the skills and techniques to analyze and write, comment on case studies and role-play, presentations and projects. Philosophy, however, most certainly has to cooperate with modern technologies. Should it stay beyond the present-day circumstances and back in time, philosophy would be inadequate and impossible to understand. The main goal of this expose is to prove that students can make the inter-subject relation between philosophy and information technology themselves and also to propose an unorthodox way of teaching philosophy. The introduction and use of innovative teaching methods can significantly improve and facilitate the acquisition of key competences, namely – digital competences, learning skills, pro-activeness, cultural awareness and skills for expressing through creativity. This could also give students the opportunity to develop different applications and this way – to continuously enrich their knowledge. This is the global goal of “The World of Emotions” website, presented as a successful educational project. The development of such interactive applications and their introduction as a method in the process of education would be a tool for significant increase of students’ interest in philosophy as a science.

Formation of notion is a fundamental process in education, and for that reason it is excessively studied in both psychology and pedagogy. The application of the pedagogical techniques has a key role in education in informatics (Asenova,1990) and has significantly improved the results in introduction of complex notions in our practice. Such complex notion is abstract data type (ADT) which is a key concept in computer programming for developing data structures, data types, and have vast influence on the algorithms applied on them. In order to introduce the notion ADT we adopt a system of tasks that develop the needed knowledge through the important data structures of linked lists, queues and stacks.

Disability studies is deeply connected with the disability rights movement, and some of the pioneers of the movement were disabled academics. It is an area of study that draws from different disciplines, especially the social sciences and the humanities, while having its own unique character. The insights gained from disability studies are embedded in the direct experiences of disabled people and their family members and are based on an understanding of disability as arising from the interaction between people with impairments and socially created material and cultural barriers. This understanding enables the study of disability through the different disciplines within the humanities, such as philosophy, history and literary studies. Disability studies unveils the complex nature of disability and the multifarious factors that create it and that impinge on the lived experience of disabled people. It also testifies to the many ways in which disabled people negotiate their lives and identities as disabled people. For this reason, disability studies has much to reveal about the human condition and can contribute to current and future developments in the humanities.

Even at the apex of its hype cycle in the 2010s, game studies scholars and designers derided gamification. This article first explores why gamification inspired such vitriol. It finds the incursion of non-game corporations and entities into the field was a threat to those who fought so ardently to legitimize the profession and promote a more playful or ludic 21st century. The article then delves deeper into the literature of play to redefine what occurs when a player engages with a gamified app, such as the social media application Foursquare. It rescripts their activity as ‘punctuated play’, or when the competition, conflict, glory, and other aspects of traditional play pierce a moment but do not necessarily define it.

Modern social development poses new tasks and challenges to education in order to achieve full adaptation of young people in the conditions of accelerated development of electronic technologies and communications. In previous years, innovation was sought primarily by teachers for whom the traditional system did not meet their expectations and attitudes. In pedagogy, there are different classifications of teaching methods, but we are interested in those aimed at active participation of the learner in the learning process and related to creative tasks and active dialogue between student and teacher. The use of ICT achieves in-depth understanding of historical processes and events, increasing motivation by building your own learning strategy, new levels of acquisition of competencies, differentiated learning. This case demonstrates the possibilities for implementing innovative training in history and civilizations using the cloud application for collaboration Google Drive, as well as some of the integrated direct applications in the cloud: Google Slides, Google My Maps, Google Jamboard, which are particularly suitable for assigning practical tasks.

The purpose of this article is to reveal the role of binary lessons to deepen the knowledge and increase the skills and competencies of students in different subjects. The realization of interdisciplinary connections in the learning process increases the ability for acquiring key competences that are necessary in achieving high educational results in future as well as using this competencies in a certain professional role. Binary lessons are applied less in the pedagogical practice, as their implementation is more difficult both in terms of planning and in organizational point of view. The article presents a good pedagogical practice, in which a binary lesson demonstrates the direct connection between history and law, which students would find difficult to understand in different way. The emphasis is on the activities of students and their work with historical and contemporary legal documents.
