Online and hybrid courses on IT-related topics have been increasing in demand and interest for decades, but the recent pandemic situation has made them critical. This article presents the results of a survey related to online/hybrid learning among engineering students in Bulgarian universities. The results reveal some of the problems and attitudes towards programming education, as well as some challenges and expectations of students regarding online programming courses according to recent educational requirements. Some popular gamification, PBL and GBL strategies were used in the online learning process. Some elements of gamification were introduced into the learning process. At the end of the training, a survey was conducted to assess the opinions of the students regarding the introduction of these elements and their impact on increasing the quality of training. Some of the results are shown in the article.

This paper attempts to identify appropriate methods of teaching entrepreneurship in schools. The key to successful entrepreneurship education is finding the most effective way to manage learner skills and identifying the best match between student needs and teaching techniques. As entrepreneurship education includes all activities aimed at fostering entrepreneurial mindsets, attitudes, and skills, as well as aspects such as idea generation and innovation, experiential learning is an appropriate approach. For this purpose, a small experiment was conducted within the „Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship“ classes and an online survey among students, the results of which are presented in the paper. The target audience for this closed poll is teenagers who are around 15 to 16 years old. In this case, the survey was administered among students from Profiled High School for Romance Languages „G. S. Rakovski“ in Burgas, focusing on entrepreneurship with Spanish and entrepreneurship with French. The findings of the study revealed that there are many prevalent obstacles to effective entrepreneurial education (EE), concerning resource availability, standardized curriculum issues, and training opportunities for educators. Moreover, the findings of the research indicate both the impact of formal evaluation, its systematic approach to assessing students‘ knowledge and abilities, and informal evaluation approaches, as well as their alignment with the entrepreneurial mindset.

The article comments on two scientific directions related to modern pedagogy. These could reasonably be called innovative, key to the effectiveness of the teacher‘s work. They are based on the requirements in the „pedagogy of the XXI century“ for competitiveness, competence approach, to stimulate personal expression and critical thinking in children and teachers. Both neuropedagogy and artpedaoggy have their specifics that, balanced in togetherness, can optimize the processes of learning and teaching and achieve the desired interest in learning.

The rapid development and implementation of digital technologies in education and the forced shift to fully distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has exacerbated the existing problems and challenges of access to higher education for disadvantaged students, have brought to the fore the need for systemic change, aimed at building crisis-resilient university ecosystems where inclusive education and digital transformation are considered in their interconnectedness to provide appropriate infrastructures and technologies for inclusive digital learning. Designing such systems requires applying an interdisciplinary design approach with careful consideration of the needs and wants of all user groups and especially those vulnerable to exclusion. The article presents the methodology and results of a study aimed at identifying the needs, barriers and issues faced by students of low socio-economic status, which is part of a wider international initiative to develop university ecosystems for inclusive digital learning, in in which universities from six countries of the European Union participate.

The text presents various aspects of the contemporary discussion of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Explanatory hypotheses other than cognitive-behavioral and neurobiological models have been proposed, which allow the symptom to be thought through its place in the mental structure and functioning of the child. The monitoring criteria that have been proposed can guide inclusive education teams when preparing assessments and individual work plans. They can serve for a more complete professional dialogue between the pedagogical specialists in the team, as well as for building an effective therapeutic alliance with the parents

STEM-based education, in parallel with its indisputable merits, poses a number of challenges to pedagogical specialists. One of them is related to the individual evaluation of students when performing group tasks. The article presents a diagnostic tool, through which, in an objective way, the individual contribution of each of the students who worked on a given group task can be established. This allows the assessment of the final group product to be transferred proportionally to each student according to their contribution. The presented tool was developed on the basis of Jacob Moreno‘s sociometrics and it is based on a rotating group assessment that students perform on their own. Thus, both the teacher and the students participate in the formation of the final individual assessment. The tool is intended for students in grades 8-12. The presented version of the tool is a prototype. Data on its construct and content validity were obtained through expert evaluation.

Interest in the topic of educational transformations has increased many times and has become the subject of a number of studies under the influence of various factors, one of which is the crisis caused by COVID-19. Education in the XXI century is changing dynamically and the factors that influence educational processes are globalization, the development of technologies and transformations both in the learning environment and in the approaches, methods and means of learning. Due to the multidirectional nature of these changes, the need for continuous monitoring, research and analysis is also required. One of the aspects of research interests is the topic of educational transformations and that after COVID-19. Why is this so? Because the crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a change in the educational space and has shown that the use of distance learning and distance learning in an electronic environment is important to ensure continuity in the provision of quality and education.
