Education Reform in the Aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic by Ariyo, Oluwunmi,Reams-Johnson, Ansa Pdf

The COVID-19 pandemic caused institutions to rethink traditional practices and consider new ways of learning and approaching students, faculty, and staff. Though not always embraced in the past, colleges and universities turned to online education in order to keep students enrolled as the health of students had to be prioritized. For institutions that may not have had health services on campus, such as community colleges, these needs called for more planning and options for referral of services. Education Reform in the Aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic educates individuals regarding the impact of COVID-19 on higher education institutions internally and externally and considers the lessons learned as well as what could be next. The book also presents solutions to the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic wrought on universities and colleges and looks toward using those solutions for future applications. Covering a range of topics such as student engagement, enrollment, and virtual spaces, it is an ideal resource for administrators, educators, mental health professionals, faculty, universities, and students.

Advancing Self-Directed Learning in Higher Education by Mncube, Dumsani Wilfred,Maphalala, Mncedisi Christian Pdf

Self-directed learning (SDL) is considered a core concept in problem-based learning (PBL) and student-centered learning. More importantly, the current face-to-face model of curriculum implementation faces many challenges that seem to question its dominance over other models. The violent nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has again vindicated SDL practitioners and research enthusiasts to continue seeking solutions that will enhance skills to cope in a rapidly changing technological, globalized world. However, the higher education sector is challenged when promoting SDL due to a slow pace of digital integration since the education system is not fully transformed. This has necessitated an urgent need for global discourse on how universities globally are implementing SDL strategies to enhance the quality of curriculum delivery. Advancing Self-Directed Learning in Higher Education provides insight into various strategic approaches that could be adopted for the successful implementation of SDL in higher education. It is written for professionals who want to improve their understanding of how to improve student teaching and learning and the quality of curriculum implementation in higher education. In this realm, this book provides ideas to its readers about the approaches pertaining to strategy and innovative measures, practical implementations, and tools in the field of curriculum and SDL. Covering topics such as educational technology, intentional education practice theory, and student experience, this premier reference source is an essential resource for teachers, policymakers, lecturers, research scholars, students of higher education, administrators, librarians, academicians, and researchers.

Primary and Secondary Education During Covid-19 by Fernando M. Reimers Pdf

This open access edited volume is a comparative effort to discern the short-term educational impact of the covid-19 pandemic on students, teachers and systems in Brazil, Chile, Finland, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the first academic comparative studies of the educational impact of the pandemic, the book explains how the interruption of in person instruction and the variable efficacy of alternative forms of education caused learning loss and disengagement with learning, especially for disadvantaged students. Other direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic diminished the ability of families to support children and youth in their education. For students, as well as for teachers and school staff, these included the economic shocks experienced by families, in some cases leading to food insecurity and in many more causing stress and anxiety and impacting mental health. Opportunity to learn was also diminished by the shocks and trauma experienced by those with a close relative infected by the virus, and by the constrains on learning resulting from students having to learn at home, where the demands of schoolwork had to be negotiated with other family necessities, often sharing limited space. Furthermore, the prolonged stress caused by the uncertainty over the resolution of the pandemic and resulting from the knowledge that anyone could be infected and potentially lose their lives, created a traumatic context for many that undermined the necessary focus and dedication to schoolwork. These individual effects were reinforced by community effects, particularly for students and teachers living in communities where the multifaceted negative impacts resulting from the pandemic were pervasive. This is an open access book.

Inequalities, Youth, Democracy and the Pandemic by Simone Maddanu,Emanuele Toscano Pdf

This book brings together studies from various locations to examine the growing social problems that have been brought to the fore by the COVID-19 outbreak. Employing both qualitative, theoretical and quantitative methods, it presents the impact of the pandemic in different settings, shedding light on political and cultural realities around the world. With attention to inequalities rooted in race and ethnicity, economic conditions, gender, disability, and age, it considers different forms of marginalization and examines the ongoing disjunctions that increasingly characterize contemporary democracies from a multilevel perspective. The book addresses original analyses and approaches from a global perspective on the COVID-19 pandemic, its governance, and its effects in different geographies. These analyses are organized around three main axes: 1) how COVID-19 pandemic worsened social, racial/ethnic, and economic inequalities, including variables such as migration status, gender, and disability; 2) how the pandemic impacted youth and how younger generations cope with public health alarms, and containment measures; 3) how the pandemic posed a challenge to democracy, reshaped the political agenda, and the debate in the public sphere. Contributions from around the world show how local and national issues may overlap on a global scale, laying the foundation for connected sociologies. Based on qualitative as well as quantitative empirical analysis on various categories of individuals and groups, this edited volume reflects on the sociological aspects of current planetary crises which will continue to be at the core of our societies. A wide-ranging, international volume that focuses on both unexpected social changes and new forms of agency in response to a period of crisis, Inequalities, Youth, Democracy and the Pandemic will appeal to scholars with interests in the sociology of health, social problems and inequalities.
