International student mobility (study abroad) as a method to enhance students’ education, cultural awareness, and competency has gained support from numerous national governments and higher education institutions. The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize the evidence on the experiences of international healthcare postgraduate students who study abroad. A systematic search of five databases using a pre-defined search strategy was conducted on published research with no time restrictions, up to December 31st, 2023. Following data extraction, the review utilised a deductive thematic analysis approach, guided by pre-defined research questions, including identifying perceived advantages and disadvantages of international programs, challenges faced by students and educational providers, the experiences of postgraduate healthcare students traveling with families, and any additional emerging themes. Search yielded 1500 records and 22 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included. Sixteen studies used qualitative methods, four used mixed methods, one was a quantitative nonexperimental exploratory study,and for one study the research design was unclear. Two studies were excluded at quality appraisal stage. The findings identified benefits from the perspectives of postgraduate students, such as improved language skills, cultural awareness, and professional development. Common challenges included language barriers, academic difficulties, and cultural adaptation. One study highlighted the unique experiences of students with families, emphasizing a need for opportunities for social integration and support networks. The research suggests a mix of benefits and challenges among postgraduate healthcare students studying abroad. Further research is needed to better understand the experiences of students who are accompanied by their families in studying abroad.

国际学生流动（出国留学）作为一种提高学生教育、文化意识和能力的方法，得到了许多国家政府和高等教育机构的支持。本系统综述的目的是综合有关国际卫生保健研究生出国留学经历的证据。采用预定义的检索策略对5个数据库进行系统检索，检索时间截止至2023年12月31日。在数据提取之后，在预先定义的研究问题的指导下，该综述采用了演绎主题分析方法，包括确定国际项目的感知优势和劣势、学生和教育提供者面临的挑战、研究生医疗保健学生与家人一起旅行的经历，以及任何其他新兴主题。检索得到1500条记录，22篇文章符合纳入标准并被纳入。16项研究使用定性方法，4项使用混合方法，1项是定量的非实验性探索性研究，还有一项研究的研究设计不明确。两项研究在质量评价阶段被排除。研究发现，从研究生的角度来看，这些好处包括提高语言技能、文化意识和专业发展。常见的挑战包括语言障碍、学习困难和文化适应。一项研究强调了有家庭的学生的独特经历，强调需要有机会融入社会和支持网络。研究表明，医疗保健专业的研究生出国留学既有好处，也有挑战。为了更好地了解随家人一起出国留学的学生的经历，需要进一步的研究。

This paper aims to investigate person-to-person interactions in a hybrid classroom setting from a Community of Inquiry perspective. A typology of person-to-person interaction in hybrid learning environment is proposed. Hybrid mode seems to be the most convenient setting in terms of flexibility. In the hybrid classroom setting, teachers multi-task to take care of both onsite and online students at the same time. Students need to simultaneously communicate with the teacher in the lecture theatre and with their peers both in the classroom and online. In-depth interviews with university students and teachers were conducted in Hong Kong to investigate the challenges and the coping strategies of student-to-teacher interaction and student-to-student interaction in hybrid mode. Three distinct themes are generated: proximity; location and flexibility. The themes proximity and location contribute to the challenges. In short, challenges to student-to-teacher interactions include (1) the difficulty in accommodating the needs of online and in-class students at the same time, and (2) some online students are being ignored by the teachers. Challenges to student-to-student interactions include communication among online and onsite students; the Social Presence is found to be affected negatively by the hybrid approach. To alleviate such situations, solutions to challenges in student-to-student interactions are (1) more teamwork among students from online and in-class; and (2) encouraging learning from peers. We contribute to the literature on how to conduct hybrid teaching with greater efficiency by a new perspective to improve person-to-person interaction. The success factors of the hybrid mode are well-planned lessons, established familiarity, knowledge check, and adequate teaching equipment available.

本文旨在从探究社区的角度研究混合课堂环境中的人际互动。提出了一种混合学习环境下的人际互动类型。就灵活性而言，混合模式似乎是最方便的设置。在混合课堂环境中，教师要同时照顾现场和在线学生。学生需要同时在课堂上与老师交流，同时在课堂上和网上与同龄人交流。本研究对香港的大学生和教师进行了深度访谈，探讨了学生与教师互动和学生与学生互动混合模式的挑战和应对策略。产生了三个不同的主题：邻近性；位置和灵活性。主题的邻近性和地理位置都带来了挑战。简而言之，师生互动面临的挑战包括：(1)难以同时满足在线和课堂学生的需求；(2)一些在线学生被教师忽视。学生与学生互动的挑战包括在线和现场学生之间的沟通；发现混合方法对社会存在产生负面影响。为了缓解这种情况，解决学生与学生之间的互动挑战的方法是：(1)更多的学生之间的团队合作，从网上和课堂；(2)鼓励向同伴学习。我们对如何以新的视角提高混合教学效率的文献进行了贡献，以改善人与人之间的互动。混合模式的成功因素是精心策划的课程，建立熟悉度，知识检查和充足的教学设备。

Educational inequality can persist when students face low academic expectations, often shaped by teachers’ implicit biases related to their socioeconomic status or ethnic background, regardless of intent. Professional development (PD) interventions targeting teacher expectations and differential behavior can support educational equality. This systematic review, using the I/M/T/P framework, provides an overview of 59 recent PD intervention studies. Results indicate the effectivity of various PD interventions including varying mechanisms on teacher expectations, differential behavior, and students’ cognitive outcomes. This underscores the necessity for further research to identify the most impactful (combination of) mechanisms. Additionally, incorporating awareness besides the I/M/T/P mechanisms is recommended for future PD interventions to enhance their effectiveness.

当学生面临较低的学业期望时，教育不平等可能会持续存在，而这种期望往往是由教师与他们的社会经济地位或种族背景相关的内隐偏见所塑造的，而不管他们的意图如何。针对教师期望和差异行为的专业发展干预可以促进教育公平。本系统综述采用I/M/T/P框架，概述了最近59项PD干预研究。结果表明，各种PD干预措施的有效性，包括对教师期望、差异行为和学生认知结果的不同机制。这强调了进一步研究以确定最有效的机制（组合）的必要性。此外，除了I/M/T/P机制外，建议在未来的PD干预措施中纳入意识，以提高其有效性。

The interdisciplinary concept of liberal arts education, rooted in Western traditions, has been widely studied, yet its global shifts remain underexplored. This systematic scoping review was conducted through six databases for search up to May 2023. Out of 11,193 screened articles, a total of 295 studies were included to explore the global evolution of liberal arts education, focusing on its adaptive responses to political, social, and economic shifts. Three distinct phases in the evolution of liberal arts education have been identified: its philosophical foundations, the shift toward professional and market-driven demands, and a recent resurgence integrating traditional values with contemporary skills. Highlighting a shift towards a hybrid model, the study identifies a growing emphasis in recent literature on integrating diverse cultural perspectives, particularly from non-Western contexts, as a means to cultivate critical thinkers with multidisciplinary skills for navigating global challenges. This research fills a gap in understanding liberal arts’ global adaptability, offering strategic insights into its role in addressing future educational needs.

植根于西方传统的文科教育跨学科概念已被广泛研究，但其全球变化仍未得到充分探讨。到2023年5月，通过六个数据库进行了系统的范围审查。在11193篇被筛选的文章中，共有295篇研究被纳入其中，以探讨文科教育的全球演变，重点关注其对政治、社会和经济变化的适应性反应。在文科教育的演变过程中，有三个不同的阶段：哲学基础，向专业和市场驱动需求的转变，以及最近将传统价值观与当代技能结合起来的复兴。该研究强调了向混合模式的转变，指出最近的文献越来越强调整合不同的文化视角，特别是来自非西方背景的文化视角，作为培养具有多学科技能的批判性思想家以应对全球挑战的一种手段。这项研究填补了理解文科全球适应性的空白，为其在解决未来教育需求方面的作用提供了战略见解。

The inadequate access to technologies in schools in African countries including Mozambique limits teachers from successfully implementing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning. To respond to this situation, the present study explores strategies for empowering Mozambican educators, to use accessible technologies to implement STEAM learning in mathematics-related subjects successfully. The study adopted qualitative research methods and the principles of Participatory Action Research. The study involved 22 teachers representing four diverse institutions in Maputo. Data were collected through Semi-structured interviews, observation and reflective journals. The findings reveal the usefulness of various strategies that support teachers in addressing challenges related to technological resources and STEAM education-related pedagogy’s. The study calls for a comprehensive framework to sustain teacher-training strategies by improving infrastructure to accommodate accessible technologies such as smartphones and GeoGebra.

This study aimed to evaluate via teacher and parent perceptions the impact of the Superpowers Program, designed to enhance social-emotional learning (SEL) and digital literacy among kindergarten children in the Philippines. Limited research has been conducted on young children’s online exposure in less-developed countries. The program focused on developing 12 character strengths that every child needs to navigate their online and offline lives. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study utilized a single-group pre-post design to evaluate teachers’ and parents’ perceived impact of the program on the development of four selected character strengths (resilience, emotional regulation, kindness and critical thinking), based on quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were collected through self-reported teacher observations using the Character Strengths Survey, while qualitative data were gathered from Focus Group Discussions. Rasch analysis confirmed satisfactory psychometric properties of the survey instrument. Latent regression analysis revealed significant improvements across all character strength scales post-intervention, with qualitative findings corroborating results. Linear regression analyses highlighted significant perceived impacts of children’s pre-intervention abilities, teacher implementation practices, and teacher-parent interactions in the observed positive outcomes of the intervention. These findings suggest that structured SEL and digital literacy programs can effectively promote character strengths crucial for navigating the digital age among young children in developing countries. However, limitations including the small sample size, single-group design and self-report measures necessitate cautious interpretation. The study underscores the potential of integrated SEL and digital literacy programs in early childhood education, while emphasizing the need for cultural adaptation and strong home-school partnerships in their implementation.

本研究旨在通过教师和家长的看法来评估超级大国计划的影响，该计划旨在提高菲律宾幼儿园儿童的社会情感学习（SEL）和数字素养。在欠发达国家，对幼儿的网络接触进行了有限的研究。该项目侧重于培养12种性格优势，每个孩子都需要这些优势来驾驭他们的线上和线下生活。本研究采用混合方法，采用单组岗前设计，基于定量和定性数据，评估教师和家长对该计划对四种选定性格优势（弹性、情绪调节、善良和批判性思维）发展的感知影响。定量数据是通过教师自我报告的性格优势调查收集的，而定性数据是通过焦点小组讨论收集的。拉什分析证实了该测量仪器具有令人满意的心理测量特性。潜在回归分析显示，干预后所有性格强度量表均有显著改善，定性研究结果证实了这一结果。线性回归分析强调了儿童干预前能力、教师实施实践和教师与家长互动对观察到的积极干预结果的显著感知影响。这些发现表明，结构化的SEL和数字扫盲项目可以有效地提高发展中国家幼儿的性格优势，这对他们在数字时代的发展至关重要。然而，样本量小、单组设计和自我报告测量等局限性需要谨慎解释。该研究强调了综合SEL和数字扫盲计划在幼儿教育中的潜力，同时强调了在实施过程中需要文化适应和强有力的家庭-学校伙伴关系。

This study examines the evolution of the representation of bilateral symmetries in the spontaneous drawings of children throughout the stages of early childhood education and the first years of primary education. Although previous research has demonstrated that children already draw symmetrical patterns before formal schooling, the progression of this representation over time has not yet been analysed. This research focuses on how the frequency and complexity of pictorial motifs with bilateral symmetries vary between two school years. A total of 132 drawings made by 34 boys and 32 girls are analysed in two pictorial activities separated by an interval of 24 months. Three independent variables are involved: the period of pictorial activity, gender and educational level. The results indicate that bilateral symmetry is present in a large proportion of the drawings, showing a significant increase both in the frequency of its appearance and in the complexity of the motifs between the two activities. Similarly, compared with boys, girls use symmetry in their drawings earlier, and their symmetric representations are more elaborate.

本研究考察了儿童在幼儿教育阶段和小学教育第一年自发绘画中双边对称表现的演变。虽然之前的研究表明，儿童在正式上学之前就已经画出了对称的图案，但这种表现随着时间的推移而发展的过程尚未得到分析。本研究的重点是如何频率和复杂的图案图案与双边对称在两个学年之间的变化。共有34名男孩和32名女孩绘制的132幅画被分析在两个绘画活动中，间隔24个月。涉及三个自变量：绘画活动的时间、性别和教育水平。结果表明，双边对称存在于很大比例的图纸中，显示出其出现的频率和两种活动之间图案的复杂性都显着增加。同样，与男孩相比，女孩在绘画中更早地使用对称，而且她们的对称表现更精细。

This study examines university teachers’ self-efficacy and readiness for online teaching in relation to their advice seeking networks at work. A survey conducted among health sciences faculty teachers (n = 69) at a large urban university assessed teachers’ self-efficacy, readiness for online teaching, their teaching experience and institutional support for online education. Participants were also asked to name colleagues they asked for advice about online teaching, based on which their advice networks were constructed. Results indicate that high self-efficacy and prior online teaching experience are the strongest predictors of readiness for online teaching. Analysis of teachers’ advice networks showed that their educational advice networks are less developed than their general advice networks. Teachers who consulted colleagues for pedagogical advice had higher self-efficacy scores, emphasizing the importance of pedagogical discussions. No significant relations were found between perceived institutional support and self-efficacy or readiness. We conclude that teachers’ ability to ask colleagues for advice at work as well as their prior online teaching experience are important factors for teachers’ self-efficacy and readiness to adopt online teaching methods.

本研究考察了大学教师的自我效能感和在线教学的准备程度与他们在工作中寻求建议的网络的关系。一项针对一所大型城市大学的健康科学教师（n = 69）进行的调查评估了教师的自我效能感、在线教学准备情况、教学经验和机构对在线教育的支持。参与者还被要求说出他们就在线教学征求意见的同事的名字，并以此为基础构建他们的咨询网络。结果表明，高自我效能感和先前的在线教学经验是在线教学准备的最强预测因子。对教师咨询网络的分析表明，教师的教育咨询网络不如一般咨询网络发达。向同事咨询教学建议的教师自我效能感得分较高，强调了教学讨论的重要性。在机构支持感知和自我效能感或准备度之间没有发现显著关系。我们得出结论，教师在工作中向同事寻求建议的能力以及他们之前的在线教学经验是教师自我效能感和采用在线教学方法的准备程度的重要因素。

This conceptual paper articulates a new strategic framework for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) education in Europe to respond to the challenges facing educators, researchers, students and policy makers. It draws on conceptualisations developed within the EU-funded Road-STEAMer project which is creating a STEAM education roadmap for policymakers at the secondary/ tertiary intersection, particularly in projects that feature open science/schooling and/or responses to ‘grand challenges’. Grounded in the complexity of the current STEAM education landscape, the paper articulates the characteristics of effective STEAM education developed through the Road-STEAMer project, in order to demonstrate how the benefits of STEAM can be catalysed. The paper explains the Road-STEAMer characteristics (equity, disciplinary inter-relationship, collaboration, real-world connections, thinking-making-doing, creativity and inclusion/ empowerment/ personalisation) which were developed from a focused literature review and then considers them in relation to two case studies addressing the post sustainability agenda: Ocean Connections and SciCultureD. Both projects are critically discussed using the Road-STEAMer characteristics to demonstrate the use of modern educational tools in STEAM, alongside how STEAM can contribute to empowering the next generation. The paper concludes by drawing together insights into the significance of the Road-STEAMer characteristics as a strategic framing for catalysing the benefits of STEAM, emphasising the importance of collaboration between researchers and practitioners to achieve this.

本概念性文件阐明了欧洲STEAM（科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学）教育的新战略框架，以应对教育工作者、研究人员、学生和政策制定者面临的挑战。它借鉴了欧盟资助的Road-STEAMer项目中开发的概念，该项目正在为中学/大学交叉路口的政策制定者创建一个STEAM教育路线图，特别是在以开放科学/学校教育和/或应对“重大挑战”为特色的项目中。基于当前STEAM教育格局的复杂性，本文阐述了通过Road-STEAMer项目开发的有效STEAM教育的特点，以展示如何促进STEAM的好处。本文解释了Road-STEAMer的特征（公平性、学科间的相互关系、协作、现实世界的联系、思考-创造-行动、创造力和包容性/赋权/个性化），这些特征是从一篇重点文献综述中发展出来的，然后将它们与两个解决后可持续发展议程的案例研究相关联：海洋联系和科学文化。这两个项目都使用Road-STEAMer的特点进行了批判性的讨论，以展示在STEAM中使用现代教育工具，以及STEAM如何为下一代提供帮助。论文最后总结了Road-STEAMer特征作为促进STEAM效益的战略框架的重要性，强调了研究人员和从业者之间合作实现这一目标的重要性。

This research embarks on an illuminating journey into the often-overlooked world of the schooling experiences of children born into the lives of sex workers in Bangladesh, with a particular emphasis on the Daulatdia brothel village in the Rajbari district, renowned as one of the largest brothels worldwide. Anchored within Bronfenbrenner's ecological system theory, and social exclusion theory this narrative qualitative study diligently strives to amplify the voices and emotions of these resilient children. Methodologically, it employs semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) with 35 participants, including 20 students, 10 teachers, and 5 dedicated NGO officials affiliated with the school in Daulatdia. An innovative ice-breaking activity was introduced, wherein children artfully depicted their daily activity clocks, revealing profound insights into their intricate daily lives.

这项研究开始了一段启发性的旅程，深入到孟加拉国性工作者家庭中出生的孩子的教育经历这个经常被忽视的世界，特别强调了Rajbari地区的Daulatdia妓院村，这里以世界上最大的妓院之一而闻名。在布朗芬布伦纳的生态系统理论和社会排斥理论的基础上，这项叙事定性研究努力放大这些适龄儿童的声音和情感。在方法上，它采用半结构化访谈和焦点小组讨论（FGD），共有35名参与者，其中包括20名学生、10名教师和5名隶属于Daulatdia学校的专门非政府组织官员。一项创新的破冰活动，孩子们巧妙地描绘他们的日常活动时钟，深刻地洞察他们错综复杂的日常生活。
