As the need for a quantum-ready workforce grows, educators in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) face the challenge of aligning their programs and courses with industry needs. Through a series of interviews with program directors and faculty across 15 different institutions, we identified the considerations that educators are currently addressing as they develop their various courses and programs. Grounded in a curriculum framework, we conducted a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis, which revealed shared challenges and opportunities about program context, curriculum development, collaboration, program data collection and evaluation, and connections across stakeholders in the quantum ecosystem that educators should consider when developing their QISE efforts. Our findings highlight five overreaching themes: (1) the strategic ways educators navigate institutional structures to support QISE initiatives, (2) the ongoing challenge of aligning QISE curricula with industry and institutional needs, (3) the importance of fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across departments and institutions in QISE, (4) the need for robust data collection and evaluation to inform QISE course and program development, and (5) the importance of strengthening industry-academia connections to prepare students for the quantum workforce. The details and interconnections in our findings illustrate the value of applying a structured approach to QISE course and program development with the goal of creating a more cohesive QISE education ecosystem.

Aggressive behavior is behavior that is manifested in the form of destroying objects or attacking other people verbally or non-verbally. This research tested the effectiveness of the Rational Emotive Behavior Education Model in reducing aggressive behavior in 36 class XI students at SMKN 2 Tasikmalaya. The selected students had high levels of aggressive behavior based on the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) scale. The experimental study with Time Series Design was conducted for 5 weeks, with one REBE intervention session per week for 40-60 minutes. The results showed a significant decrease in overall aggressive behavior scores from pre-intervention (M = 104.35) to post-intervention (M = 84.94). A significant decrease was also observed in the scores of each dimension of aggressive behavior, namely physical (29.93 to 24.42), verbal (17.68 to 14.24), anger (25.94 to 21.25), and hostility (30.49 to 24.64). These results indicate that REBE is effective in reducing aggressive behavior in students, helping them to think rationally, reducing emotional disturbances, increasing self-understanding, developing more adaptive coping strategies, and improving self-concept and sense of responsibility.

The problem of citizenship of the population has been one of the main problems of civilized countries for a number of centuries. In modern geopolitical conditions in the Russian Federation this problem has acquired a special scientific and pedagogical status, which is supported by a number of legislative and public initiatives. The implementation of the strategy outlined by the state for the formation of citizenship among the younger generation will be facilitated by a complex of pedagogical influences in different educational environments. This circumstance has made it possible to formulate a scientific problem, which consists in the need for a theoretical substantiation of the definition of «citizenship» as a pedagogical category. The purpose of the research is to theoretically substantiate the essence of the category «citizenship» as a subject of pedagogical discourse based on the ideas of humanitarian knowledge. To achieve this goal, the following methods have been used: analysis of scientific literature and regulatory documents, generalization, synthesis, logical modeling.The research results: scientific facts have been identified that reflect the features of approaches to substantiating the category of «citizenship»; the components of citizenship as a pedagogical category have been substantiated; the high significance of the pedagogical approach in comparison with existing approaches in the interpretation of the category under consideration has been proven.Key conclusions: «citizenship» has a diverse interpretation in modern humanitarian knowledge, most extrapolated in sociological and pedagogical research; the structural components of citizenship as a pedagogical category are cognitive, emotional, motivational-need, activity-based, and the result of its formation in young people is civic maturity. The system-forming factor in substantiating the concept of citizenship is the pedagogical approach, which forms the foundation of the substantiation, because lays down the vector and mechanisms for its formation in all institutions of socialization of the individual at all levels of education.

Trust plays a pivotal role in Lecturer-Student-Collaboration, encompassing teaching and research aspects. The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) in platforms like Open AI's ChatGPT, coupled with their cost-effectiveness and high-quality results, has led to their rapid adoption among university students. However, discerning genuine student input from LLM-generated output poses a challenge for lecturers. This dilemma jeopardizes the trust relationship between lecturers and students, potentially impacting university downstream activities, particularly collaborative research initiatives. Despite attempts to establish guidelines for student LLM use, a clear framework mutually beneficial for lecturers and students in higher education remains elusive. This study addresses the research question: How does the use of LLMs by students impact Informational and Procedural Justice, influencing Team Trust and Expected Team Performance? Methodically, we applied a quantitative construct-based survey, evaluated using techniques of Structural Equation Modelling (PLS- SEM) to examine potential relationships among these constructs. Our findings based on 23 valid respondents from Ndejje University indicate that lecturers are less concerned about the fairness of LLM use per se but are more focused on the transparency of student utilization, which significantly influences Team Trust positively. This research contributes to the global discourse on integrating and regulating LLMs and subsequent models in education. We propose that guidelines should support LLM use while enforcing transparency in Lecturer-Student- Collaboration to foster Team Trust and Performance. The study contributes valuable insights for shaping policies enabling ethical and transparent LLMs usage in education to ensure effectiveness of collaborative learning environments.

The term ‘digital resources’ is increasingly used in educational research to describe the specific knowledge and skills that constitute teachers’ professional digital competence. Educational policy documents, including the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu), deploy the term to reaffirm teachers’ need for special skills in using digital resources. However, educational research literature presents inconsistent views of the term, restricting its effective use in further research and the promotion of associated skills among pre-service and in-service teachers. To clarify the term ‘digital resources’ and support future research related to its application especially in empirical research on teachers’ professional digital competence, this systematic review aims to analyse the definitions of digital resources as a scientific term in 23 articles and to examine and compare the facets and aspects of digital resources. Finally, we derive a definition from the various perspectives and discuss the implications for the definition of digital resources as an aspect of teachers’ professional digital competence.

Este estudo teve objetivou analisar a produção acadêmica brasileira sobre a utilização das teorias de Norbert Elias no campo da formação docente, buscando compreender seus impactos e reverberações. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura nas bases: SciELO, Lilacs e Periódico Capes. Destaca-se que as produções que compuseram o estado da arte analisado são recentes, iniciando-se no ano de 2018 e incipientes, sendo encontrados oito estudos. Embora Norbert Elias não tenha analisado diretamente a formação docente, suas teorias imbricam-se às discussões educacionais, possibilitando reflexões sobre relações de interdependência entre futuros professores e docentes estabelecidos, compreendendo os tensionamentos inerentes ao campo da formação. Caso essa interdependência seja coercitiva, os futuros professores podem ter seu processo formativo impactado negativamente, como a inibição de sua autonomia e criatividade. Os mecanismos operacionais do campo educacional devem dirimir desequilíbrios coercitivos de poder, possibilitando ao futuro docente a vivência de diversas situações pedagógicas.

In this paper we provide an overview of the programmed instructions approach for the purpose of quantum software education. The article presents the programmed instructions method and recent successes in STEM fields before describing its operating mode. Elements tackled include the core components of programmed instructions, its behavioural roots and early use as well as adaptation to complex STEM material. In addition, we offer recommendations for its use in the specific context of quantum software education and provide one example of PI-based instruction for the notion of entanglement. The aim of this work is to provide high-level guidelines for incorporating programmed instructions in quantum education with the goal of disseminating quantum skills and notions more efficiently to a wider audience.

Nowadays interactive digital scientific environments have become an integral part of scientific computing in solving various scientific tasks in research, but also STEM education. We introduce SageMath or shortly Sage -- a free open Python-based alternative to the well-known commercial software -- in the frame of our course Methods of Physical Problems Solving for future scientists and science teachers. Particularly, in the 1st illustrative example from the Physics Olympiad, we present Sage as a scientific open data source, symbolic, numerical, and visualization tool. The 2nd example from the Young Physicists' Tournament shows Sage as a multimedia, modeling, and programming tool. By employing SageMath as an open digital environment for scientific computing in the education of all STEM disciplines, teachers and students are empowered not only with a universal educational tool, but a real research tool, enabling them to engage in interactive visualization, modeling, programming, and solving of authentic, complex interdisciplinary problems, thus naturally enhancing their motivation to pursue science in alignment with the core mission of STEM education.

Big science projects and facilities can move towards a less self-centered frame of reference as they strive to better identify and serve educational audiences. By doing this, their science education efforts will be more productive in general, and their service to local schools will be more effective. By developing an enlarged awareness of local educational needs, they will become better stewards and partners in their roles in the science education system. They will also become more valued and trustworthy neighbours to their local and cultural communities. We propose a practical way for large science organisations to organise their budgets and their allocation of staff time to greatly increase the effectiveness of their organisation in its contribution to local science education.

Data science education provides tremendous opportunities but remains inaccessible to many communities. Increasing the accessibility of data science to these communities not only benefits the individuals entering data science, but also increases the field's innovation and potential impact as a whole. Education is the most scalable solution to meet these needs, but many data science educators lack formal training in education. Our group has led education efforts for a variety of audiences: from professional scientists to high school students to lay audiences. These experiences have helped form our teaching philosophy which we have summarized into three main ideals: 1) motivation, 2) inclusivity, and 3) realism. To put these ideals better into practice, we also aim to iteratively update our teaching approaches and curriculum as we find ways to better reach these ideals. In this manuscript we discuss these ideals as well practical ideas for how to implement these philosophies in the classroom.

Education includes character education, which is a deliberate process to instill character in students. Character education is very important, because with character, humans will be noble and become special beings compared to other creatures and even fellow human beings. Because of the very importance of character education, the existence of a method to achieve it also becomes very important. This study aims to elaborate exemplary methods in character development. By using library research and reflection methods, this research found that modeling is the most important and most effective character education method provided that: it is comprehensively carried out by educators in each educational environment; conducted together with other educational methods; and shown in three aspects: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.

Um significativo número de pesquisas têm demonstrado a importância do uso de estratégias didáticas que oportunizem a aquisição e desenvolvimento das chamadas habilidades metacognitivas. Nesse sentido, é essencial discutir o assunto em cursos de formação de professores, dando-lhes boas oportunidades de vivenciar e aprender estratégias do tipo. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma investigação didática que teve como objetivo analisar eventuais benefícios instrucionais da utilização de tarefas de composição de infográficos como estratégia de aquisição e desenvolvimento de habilidades metacognitivas e aprendizagem de ideias pedagógicas em um curso de formação de professores. Depoimentos, questionamentos, produções escritas e comportamentos verbais e não verbais — de uma turma de 35 estudantes de um curso de formação inicial de docentes do primeiro e segundo ciclos do ensino fundamental — coletados, mediante observação participante, durante uma intervenção didática que envolveu a composição e apresentação de infográficos a respeito de diferentes teorias pedagógicas. A ocorrência de indícios de distintas habilidades metacognitivas, obtidos mediante interpretação dos dados qualitativos coletados, evidenciam que a utilização sistemática de uma tarefa de composição de infográfico parece estimular o emprego de distintas habilidades metacognitivas e oferecer circunstâncias favoráveis para adquiri-las, na medida em que oportuniza os estudantes a tomarem consciência de dificuldades, explorarem variadas estratégias para contorná-las, aperfeiçoar conhecimentos prévios, compreender melhor o assunto em questão e deixar fluir sua criatividade.

The paper deals with pedagogical heritage of A.V. Usova (1921-2014) that yields insights into problems of interdisciplinary relationship in the school science education system. Her fundamental works were used as teaching guides in the preparation of physics teachers of all pedagogical universities of the Soviet Union and Russia. In this study, professor Usova is not an interdisciplinary researcher; she is a researcher of interdisciplinarity. Here is provided a short and consistent description of her views on teaching physics as a foundation of educational interdisciplinarity. Usova elaborated educational functions, classifications, organizational levels, ways of instantiating, content-related foundations of interdisciplinary relations, recommendations for practical applying interdisciplinary relations. Besides, Usova suggested a unified approach to the study of knowledge and skills through the generalized plans. And we would like not simply clarify, retell or restate the very powerful didactic discoveries of Usova, but consider opportunities of teaching across boundaries for actual educational challenges. The future of the field of didactics, which deals with the study of interdisciplinarity, is very interesting and attractive. This problem will always excite scientists, educators and teachers, and the futurity of science education depends on the ways it is solved.
