In the last sixty years the literacy environment based on alphabetic technology has almost completely transcended into the electronic environment based on digital technology. The traditional literacy-based classrooms and school libraries as centres of knowledge and education may have still retained their physical existence but have lost their foundation and purpose. The changes brought about by the digital environment have forced the traditional classroom and its literate environment emphasizing the importance of speaking, reading and writing to search for new meaning. While most educators are still clutching to the straw of the traditional literacy-based...

The topic of webinars is not entirely new, but it represents an attractive educational area that is not yet clearly captured in terms of teaching, research or theory. Therefore, in the following review, I will try to illustrate their presentation in the articles that have the highest number of references in the SCOPUS database (between 24 and 10). In this way, I will try to analyze texts that can be perceived as the most influential in a given topic. In this review, we also analyse new research and papers to describe the research and application possibilities of webinars.

Through a case comparison of the third grade schedule Chinese and Czech rural primary schools, it was found that there is a significant gap between compulsory education in China compared to the Czech Republic in terms of school work, pupils' free time, extracurricular activities, the rationality of scheduling or timetabling arrangements, inclusive education, etc. This suggests that schooling should start with fewer courses and lessons to reduce the academic burden; cultivate morality education from daily activities; ability training could reform university education resource utilization, and improve the convenience of education service; it should actively...

Nomadic education for national integration in Nigeria

Dominic E. Wonah, Anthony G. Bullem

e-Pedagogium 2019, 19(4):51-57 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2019.032  

The need for the education of the nomads cannot be over-emphasized. Nigeria's population is characterized with many occupations and methods of farming. A feature of the nomads is movement from place to place in a quest for pasture, fertile soil, fishing ponds or rivers and hunting grounds. Importantly, they roam about, and that is why they are called nomads. This group of farmers needs education. Since education has been described as an "instrument for national development and change" by Federal Policy on Education NPE (2010), it is necessary for the migrating farmers to be given an education. This article is therefore investigating how the migrating...

Research on workplace bullying in Western academic circles has formed a relatively complete academic system which in China is particularly insufficient. However, "coercion", a specific phenomenon of workplace bullying, still exists in many forms and in many aspects of Chinese school management. From the perspective of the historical context of Chinese traditional culture, it contains some basic elements such as the intimidators, the coerced persons, the specific content, the methods and the environment. These factors and their interactions are important clues to the analyses of their mechanisms. From the perspective of "the flow and distribution of...
