Cooperative learning is a mode and strategy based on collective learning, which has high value in modern classroom teaching. At present, the most creative and practical teaching mode adopted by most countries in the world is cooperative learning. Cooperative learning has been widely used in the classroom teaching mode. Recently, it is also more and more used in the biology classroom of junior high school, and gradually shows the benefits and advantages that the traditional classroom mode can not bring. The cooperative learning strategy is helpful to improve the students’ interest in learning, enhance the students’ collective consciousness and achieve the teaching goal. Therefore, this paper reviews the development of cooperative learning, summarizes the types of cooperative learning, and finds that cooperative learning can enrich biological classroom teaching activities and improve the quality of biological teaching. At last, it analyzes the strategy of cooperative learning in biology classroom, which has important theoretical significance and application value for the continuous improvement of biology education quality.

In recent years, there seems to be a sharp shift towards the concept of creativity in education. Given that many theorists and researchers find it difficult to define the concept of creativity itself, this paper will attempt to investigate a) the conceptions about creativity in teaching of 5 teachers of humanistic subjects (Modern Greek Language, Ancient Greek Language, History, Greek Literature) in Greek secondary education b) how these specific conceptions are reflected in their teaching practices and c) the degree to which certain teaching strategies that seem to better facilitate creativity in teaching. The research data were collected from five (5) interviews, transcripts and worksheets of ten (10) teachings and including field notes. Data were analyzed by the method of grounded theory. Data analysis showed that the emphasis is placed on "creative teaching" rather than on "teaching in order to develop student’s creativity", as distinguished by Jeffrey and Craft. The most important finding of the research is that despite their good intentions or stated open perceptions, the research subjects do not systematically promote students’ creativity unless they abandon their regulatory role and leave a genuine space of self-efficacy to their students. The authors conclude that further research is needed to answer the following questions: why is the model of creative teacher dominant and not that of the teaching that promotes students’ creativity and in what extent and in which ways is creativity defined by specific cognitive subjects.

COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of social and economic life, including the educational sector. While each level of education faces its unique challenges, for the Higher Education the pandemic may act as the catalyst triggering a learning revolution. In the current study, which took place in April-May 2020, in the middle of lockdown in Greece, students from two regional Universities in Greece who participated pointed out that the Covid-19 pandemic disturbed their studies, even though their institutions managed to turn very quickly and successfully to distance learning. Despite the fact they are both old enough to handle the online work and technologically savvy enough to navigate new, digital tools and methods, a lot of anxiety, doubts and concerns arose. The main finding is that Greek students found it difficult to handle the lack of the everyday campus life and interaction with their fellow students and teachers, a lesson learnt for faculty to add pedagogically interactive tools, experiences, and ideas to stimulate students’ learning engagement.

Postgraduate education is the highest level of higher education and the cradle of training high-level professionals in China. The quality of postgraduate training is the lifeline of postgraduate education, which determines the potential of the country’s future economic and social development and the competitiveness of talents. With the continuous expansion of the national graduate enrollment scale, it is of great theoretical and practical significance for local normal universities to cultivate biological professionals to adapt to the development of life science and social needs, and to explore a new model for the cultivation of biological postgraduate professionals. In the past 14 years, the College of Life Sciences of Xinyang Normal University has been focusing on the construction of "Supervisor-Team-Discipline", focusing on improving the theoretical quality and practical ability of postgraduate students, that is, "One center, Two improvements" of the new model of training biological postgraduate students, which has important theoretical significance and potential application value for the continuous improvement of teaching quality of biological postgraduate in education.

Most universities in Vietnam, especially local schools, are struggling to implement the annual enrollment plan because their enrollment plans have not completed recently. What are the important factors affecting admissions results for local universities? On the basis of the theoretical model, the research has proposed, designed and tested the scale of factors affecting the decision to choose a local university in Vietnam. Through a survey of 412 students at local universities, the regression model showed that six groups of proposed factors influence the decision on loal university choice in Vietnam in descending order of impact as follows: Study Costs, Majors, Influence Group, Quality and Reputation, Facilities, Advertising and Operations. The research model explains 62.4% for the overall relationship of the above 6 groups of factors with the dependent variable, which is Decision of choosing local university in Vietnam.

The modern teaching / pedagogy requires techniques and proposals which correspond to the students’ needs, who will be educated and prepare themselves for their future life. This procedure takes place through the teaching of intellectual, social, moral, and sentimental values that will form active citizens, who will shape a better society. The utilization of the current educational materials which our education employs, in connection to the Drama in Education can play a crucial role towards this direction. Additionally, the students’ works of the semiotics analysis help us pinpoint the extent to which they correspond to the educational goals as far as the teaching of values is concerned. The aim of this study is to highlight the social values through the educational drama technique using ancient dramatic texts from pedagogical resources that have already been used in the Secondary Education.

This study investigated the various paradigms of stress based on demographic variables and the attendant coping mechanisms employed by the secondary school teachers in Mbale Municipality. Descriptive survey research design was used, the total samples used for the study was 196. A well validated questionnaire was used to collect data from the teachers. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, means and standard deviations were used to analyse the data on the research questions. Inferential statistics of t-test for independent samples was also used to analyse the data at 0.05 level of significance. Specifically the result showed that male teachers have slightly high level of stress than female teachers which might be premised on various paradigms such as unstandardized class size, students’ indiscipline and poor working environments with low salaries among secondary school teachers. However, the teachers cope with their stress using mechanisms such as critical analysis of problem for better appraisal, clubbing, watching Television, films and video, avoiding unnecessary thinking. Thus the following recommendations were made, teachers’ salary should be increased to meet the demand of the teachers and should be paid promptly, incentives to be given to them, class size to be standardized, and counselling service should be stepped up in secondary schools in Mbale Municipality.

Faculty teaching both onsite and online courses have unique insights into how each modality can be implemented to be most effective for student learning. In their online classes where students might be more likely to struggle, these faculty are continually looking for methods and strategies to help their students learn the material more effectively. A survey was conducted with 174 faculty that teach both onsite and online to gather ideas on why online courses often have lower success than onsite courses. While overall results of this survey are provided in “Faculty Perspectives on Narrowing the Success Gap Between Online and Onsite Learning” (Cherif et al., 2019), this study leverages the free responses provided in the survey where faculty provided details on their specific strategies to help their online students. These strategies touched on nearly every aspect of online instruction, including course design, resources for students, student characteristics, teaching strategies, student engagement, and assessments. By sharing these strategies, other faculty can consider what might be impactful for their online classes and students, study the impact and continue to improve online education worldwide.

This paper studies the pattern of students’ movement within and around the various classes of degrees in Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola, Nigeria. In this paper, a transition matrix was developed for the five classes of degrees using movement patterns in ten consecutive semesters (2011 – 2016). The probabilities of moving across the five different classes was obtained. Furthermore, a fundamental matrix was obtained to determine the expected number of students who stay within each particular class (stayers).
