The shifting landscape of entrepreneurship education and research indicate that it is important to create a transition and adapt in order to continue offering impactful enterprising education for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Most current classroom practices, models, suppositions about learning and ways to deal with learning and educating by and large uncover that they can't prepare people for these new and sudden difficulties since they are solely founded on a universe of yesterday. The globe needs more imaginative and inventive people who can find answers for both present and future worries in each area of the community they live in. How might this vision be cultivated? Who can carry this vision to materialize? This paper features the significance of executing an enterprising education implemented by those who are enterprising themselves in order to cultivate the desired mindset to establish an an enterprising and imaginative educational ecocommunity for a just, better and harmonious world.

This study aimed to test the relationship between school culture (SC), professional learning communities (PLCs), and school effectiveness (SE) in the correlational research model through structural equation modeling. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 358 teachers working at public schools in various provinces of Turkey. Thus, data from a total of 355 teachers were analyzed. In the analysis of the data, the mediator and direct role of the variables were examined through path analysis. Finally, the fourth study hypothesis examined the relationship between these three variables and teacher characteristics. In general, the study results revealed that a supportive, achievement-oriented, and task-oriented SC was important for SE and the exhibiting of PLCs behaviors. In this context, it can be argued that paying attention to these cultural components and applications, which turn teachers into a PLCs, is of significance in making schools effective.

The extent to which teachers’ level of efficacy and quality of instructional performance changed after they receive a professional development workshop on instructional alignment is currently unknown in a school district in Florida. As such, the researcher investigated how professional development on standards and assessment alignment impacts teachers’ self-efficacy level in writing lesson plans. Results indicated that teachers' level of efficacy and quality of instructional performance, measured as their beliefs on how alignment can benefit their students and improve how they write lesson plans, overall improved after the professional development they underwent. The findings can be used to initiate positive social change, starting with the field of education. The results benefit not only the students but also the teachers themselves, as well as the administrators and school districts. State and federal policymakers can also benefit with better evidence of how professional development could work to improve instructional alignment.

This article aims to examine the implicit and explicit motivations behind the compulsory schooling reform in England as well as its unintended and long–term effects by analysing publicly available policy documents and key scholarly literature. The analysis indicates that even though the 19th century’s schooling project appeared to focus on pursuing some explicit goals, such as creating more qualified and educated labour force and citizens with religious and moral values, in reality it hides several implicit targets, such as controlling the working–class and maintaining the class segregation. Moreover, this article points out the unintended effects of the compulsory schooling reform, including low attendance in schools, low quality of education, increasing demand for higher education and Church resistance, as well as its long–term effects existing in today’s English education system, namely the continuing class segregation and evolving state and Church partnership.

The aim to refine education often leads to changes to curriculums, and the planning and implementation of educational changes can be approached in methodological and process-oriented ways. This study investigated how Bologna process requirements and local needs were considered when courses were planned for the Department of Military Technology at the NDU. The data was gathered from three courses related to science and technology, and a design-based research (DBR) concept guided the project. Specifically, work from 2007 to 2017 was examined, including preplanning and educational DBR cycles used to plan six courses, and team of different disciplines worked on the project. The purpose of planning courses was to construct a new science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education program for officers’ education; the aim was to offer officers adjustable but well planned, student centred, and interactive instruction. In principle, course planners were aware of the generic skill profile of the officer profession. Knowledge of STEM education from an earlier curriculum was provided to the officers by regular teachers. The use of a modern learning material portal (LMP) was considered for a student-centric teaching approach. Moodle was utilised, and a systematic student evaluation of teaching (SET) was conducted to assess the success of implementing the planned courses. DBR-framed approach gave useful guidance for the project. In the course development feedback from students offers necessary evidence but requires support from other sources for genuine and innovative educational re-engineering .

It ’ s been over 60 years since the very beginning of European integration when European Coal and Steel Community was established in 1951. In terms of developmental stage, European integration has already passed economic integration and political integration. Profound educational integration is the next development goal of European community. As the spill-over effect of European economic and political integration, Bologna Process proposed a promising solution to establishing a European Higher Education Area in the hopes of strengthening integration of higher education across Europe. As stated in the Prague Communique, ministers reaffirmed that efforts to promote mobility must be continued to enable students, teachers, researchers and administrative staff to benefit from the richness of the European Higher Education Area including its democratic values, diversity of cultures and languages and the diversity of the higher education system (Prague Communique, 2002, p. 1). In the last two decades, it has witnessed that academic exchanges across Europe has increased a lot. Italy, as one of the most developed western European members, is among the first which implemented two-cycle system. Czech Republic, as an emerging member in the Eastern Europe, has also been very supportive of Bologna Process. One of the major targets of Bologna Process is to facilitate students ’ mobility. This project studies how much effect has Bologna Process exerted on students mobility in the two countries ’ higher education, and find out the limitation to students mobility that Bologna Process has not solved yet, and then compare the situations of students mobility between the two countries, one representing the west of Europe, the other the east.
