In order to raise and harmonize the quality standards of pharmaceutical studies at the national level of Bosnia and Herzegovina and thus get closer to the implementation and quality assurance of study programs of EU countries, a team of professors from the University of Sarajevo-Faculty of Pharmacy prepared and was awarded the Erasmus+ project IQPharm. IQPharm (Innovating quality assessment tools for pharmacy studies in Bosnia and Herzegovina) aims at capacity building of quality management, and aims to introduce new tools for quality improvement, digitization and modernization of pharmacy studies at public universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including strengthening semi-structured experiential education in line with EU standards and higher education regulations for regulated professions. The introduction of new tools for the assessment of the quality of study programs (KREF) enables the development of evidence-based recommendations for change, modification and innovation of existing methods of knowledge transfer, didactic approaches and curricula. The introduction of a new system of proficiency testing through experiential education (OSCE) sets equal standards at the national level for the learning outcomes of graduate pharmacists. The development of E-platform ensures the digitization and modernization of experiential education management. Experiential education at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be significantly improved through the introduction of the E-platform, by raising the standards of the practice itself and facilitating its implementation by student services, students and their mentors. A special part of this project is the development of free modules, which are extracurricular subjects intended to enrich the knowledge of students and graduates of pharmacy, They should track the labor market trends, and thus make higher education more agile and attractive.

Author(s): Safae ANFOUD,Lalla Fatima Zohra ALAMI TALBI / Language(s): English,French Issue: 2, Suppl./2023

After the COVID-19 pandemic, the world massively embraced the transition to a digital environment, generating significant repercussions in various sectors, including education. The revolutionary technological development that has given rise to the so-called 5.0 industry represents a turning point that calls for a revision of the global economic development model, basing it henceforth on knowledge instead of industry. The concept of Education 5.0 has emerged in this context to offer a humanized education centered on the learner, fostering his or her social and emotional development, and based on the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). This educational model, recommended by organizations such as UNESCO and UNICEF, promotes a holistic, multidimensional approach to learning, aimed at training responsible citizens and workers. This study examines the adoption of Education 5.0 in the context of a developed country, Japan, and a developing country, Zimbabwe, using a comparative approach. This is based on an analytical grid assessing learning performance, learner well-being and the acquisition of work values. By analyzing feedback from these two countries, this study aims to better understand how Education 5.0 can be adapted to different contexts to meet the needs of the knowledge economy and society.

Author(s): Nabawiya Khamis Al Masuudi,Haslinda Sutan Ahmad Nawi,Salyani Osman,Hilal Ali Al- Maqbali / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

Advances in digital technology have been changing the way educators approach education in terms of resources and delivery of instruction through technology. Technology integration in the classroom is thought to be a successful way to motivate students. Due to benefits including portability, ease of use, and storage capacity, e-textbooks are displacing printed books as a preferred method of instruction in many nations. Research has shown that despite its many benefits, students find it challenging to adopt. This study's goal is to discover what obstacles ninth- and tenth-grade public school students in the Sultanate of Oman faced when using electronic textbooks during the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 429 students completed the survey. The data were analysed statistically, and the research revealed that students’ attitudes toward e-textbooks were poor. Addressing barriers to the adoption of e-textbooks among school students requires a holistic approach that considers ergonomic design, technological infrastructure, and user experience. By prioritizing these aspects, among educators, publishers, and developers is crucial for creating an engaging and effective digital learning environment with e-textbooks.

Teachers’ Competencies in Developing Digital Educational Escape Rooms

Author(s): Hakshurian Yael / Language(s): English Issue: 25/2023

The development of digital educational escape rooms (DEERs) by teachers presents many advantages for student learning and engagement. By developing DEERs, teachers have the opportunity to customize the learning experience and align it with specific curricular goals and with the students’ needs. Teachers can select the content that is relevant to the subject matter, and ensure that the puzzles and challenges within the DEERs promote the desired learning outcomes. Furthermore, a digital platform of DEERs enables a large group of students to play simultaneously, or to access the game remotely, and by this allows adjusting diverse learning environments to students’ needs. For these reasons, it is crucial to understand the necessary competencies teachers need to possess to develop a successful DEER. This paper highlights these competencies, in order to promote dedicated training programs for teachers and encourage the adoption of the DEER educational approach in teaching.

INQUIRY AS A NATURAL PART OF OUTDOOR TEACHING: INSIGHT FROM MOTIVATED EDUCATORS USING ONLINE COURSE AND RESOURCES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Author(s): Kateřina Čiháková / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2024

Scientific literacy is decreasing in the Czech Republic and inquiry-based science education (IBSE), believed to enhance it, is used rarely. Meanwhile, outdoor teaching is on the rise, but it is unclear if it could help promote inquiry. This study examines the frequencies of outdoor teaching and IBSE and their relationship in self-reported practice among motivated educators. Two questionnaires were filled out by educators who downloaded teaching resources in 2019 (N = 796) and those who enrolled in an online course in 2020 (N = 745). A high proportion of educators used some form of IBSE. Many of them unexpectedly often involved students in research design as part of IBSE. The frequency of student-designed investigation was correlated with the frequency of outdoor teaching in both samples. Both frequencies increased after the online course. This indicates that involving students in research design can be supported indirectly and that new professional development courses could use the attractiveness of outdoor education. Two groups of active teachers were identified, one focused on inquiry in their own class and the other motivating colleagues to teach outdoors. As they were represented more among primary school teachers, establishing learning communities consisting of both primary and lower-secondary science teachers could bring change to science education.

Author(s): Mirjana Kocaleva Vitanova,Elena Karamazova Gelova,Zoran Zlatev,Biljana Zlatanovska / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

In this paper, the attitude of the students towards learning of fundamentals of electrical engineering and their professor is considered. For this purpose, a survey of first-year students studying this subject was conducted. The survey was conducted on two generations of students from the academic year 2020/2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic and 2022/2023 generation after the pandemic. Our goal is to see students’ opinion about the teaching process and the professor and determine if there is a difference in the students' opinion. It should be noted that during the COVID-19 the teaching took place online, and after the COVID-19 with physical presence. Students during the COVID-19 period gave lower ratings for their professors and found the colloquiums more difficult, expressing less satisfaction with the lectures and exercises. Their colloquium results were also worse. Additionally, final exam results showed that a higher percentage of students from academic years with physical presence passed the exams.

Synchronous Virtual Learning in Ubiquitous Learning Paradigm and Effective Mathematics Teaching

Author(s): Sabainah Oyebola Akinoso / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2024

Learning generally has taken a new dimension in this present era. Virtual learning has become increasingly popular recently due to technological advancement. Learning has moved from didactic pedagogy characterized by a teacher-centered approach where knowledge is transmitted from the instructor to the learner to a virtual, mobile, blended/ hybrid, e-learning mode of instruction. Learning is now a form of a Transformative approach to teaching and learning that goes beyond acquiring knowledge and skills only to create profound changes in individuals' beliefs, attitudes, values, and behavior. To obtain the necessary skills required for learning, the learners should have access to learning, and learning should be flexible and occur anywhere anytime through virtual instruction. The study emphasizes the ubiquitous (u-learning) paradigm, synchronous virtual learning in particular, and teachers' role in mathematics teaching and learning. This research has contributed valuable insights into how synchronous virtual learning can improve mathematics teaching and learning, support diverse learners, and inform instructional practices in digital environments. The implication of using synchronous virtual learning is to promote active engagement, social interaction, and peer collaboration, enhancing student comprehension and problem-solving skills. Since learning cannot be limited to didactic instruction, virtual learning should be considered for effective mathematics learning.

Learning in the Online Environment - Student Perceptions and Predictions

Author(s): Ion Albulescu,Adriana Denisa Manea,Cristian Stan / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2024

The solution provided by information and communication technology to the educational challenges that the education system has faced as a result of the pandemic situation due to the COVID-19 virus has been generally agreed upon and accepted on a planetary scale by the entire academic community. For an important period of time (approximately 1.5 years), the didactic activity took place mainly asynchronously. The implications of this fact on academic performances, the quality of the didactic act, and the well-being of students are addressed in many studies in order to find out answers considered as predictions of future instructive-educational actions. The present study is also included in the same dimension. The results recorded or highlighted the fact that learning in the online system presents both advantages (maximizing the use of time due to the elimination of losses due to travel, domestic comfort, and the exclusive decision to interact) and disadvantages (deficient feedback, investment of intellectual effort to obtain a positive relational agreement); motivation was slightly higher, assessment anxiety and learning efficiency were lower, while comfort and satisfaction with learning did not register significant changes. The preference that students emphasized for the way the didactic activity should be carried out aims at an alternation of synchronous and asynchronous activities in the mixed system, doubled by learning in the online system.

The Relationship Teachers have with Technology, Implications of the T.A.M. Model

Author(s): Roxana Maier / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2024

Mobile applications and the relationship with online platforms became more important for all of us with the pandemic. The way teachers managed to transition online during the pandemic led to the speed with which they could adapt to the new conditions of lockdown, and the teaching-learning processes. The relationship that teachers managed to develop with the use of technology resulted in its continued use (or not) in education after the pandemic, contributing to the narrowing (or, conversely, widening) of the disparities between digital natives - the students, and digital immigrants - their teachers. The study utilizes the TAM model to capture how teachers interacted with technology at different points in time (during the pandemic and two years after its start) and how they might continue or not to use it in the future. The obtained results emphasize which categories of teachers accepted more easily the modification of the teaching-learning process, thus ranking in the area of being an indicator of change in education. Compared to these first results, it is highlighted that age is an indicator in the acceptance of technology. The other results aim to identify the factors that could determine the change in attitude towards the use of devices.

Percepcija verbalne i neverbalne komunikacije u online nastavi studenata žurnalistike/komunikologije u Bosni i Hercegovini

Author(s): Zarfa Hrnjić Kuduzović,Amela Delić Aščić,Tahani Komarica / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 25/2024

The interaction between students and lecturers in online classes has changed significantly compared to the interaction in conventional classroom classes. Physical distancing harmed cognitive and social presence in classes due to reduced opportunities for interaction, immediate feedback, and the use of non-verbal communication tools to encourage students to participate in class. The study aims to determine how journalism/communication students in B&H perceive interaction with lecturers in online classes, which is an important element of their cognitive and social presence. A face-to-face survey questionnaire showed that students prefer classroom teaching and that they consider the impossibility of face-to-face communication to be one of the key disadvantages of online teaching. Students are not willing to engage more significantly in online classes, and virtual classrooms they prefer written to oral communication. In online classes, students perceive lecturers as less real. Elements that improve the realization of cognitive and social presence in online classes are an intensification of verbal and non-verbal elements of communication, the use of emoticons, appropriate humor, and personal experiences that contribute to better interaction, a more pleasant teaching atmosphere, and greater concentration on work.
