This study addressed several outcomes, implications, and possible future directions for blended learning (BL) in higher
education in a world where information communication technologies (ICTs) increasingly communicate with each other. In
considering effectiveness, the authors contend that BL coalesces around access, success, and students’ perception of their
learning environments. Success and withdrawal rates for face-to-face and online courses are compared to those for BL as
they interact with minority status. Investigation of student perception about course excellence revealed the existence of robust
if-then decision rules for determining how students evaluate their educational experiences. Those rules were independent of
course modality, perceived content relevance, and expected grade. The authors conclude that although blended learning
preceded modern instructional technologies, its evolution will be inextricably bound to contemporary information
communication technologies that are approximating some aspects of human thought processes.

2. Bowles, M.. (2020). New Normal Part 3 Why non-traditional education is part of the new normal.
10.13140/RG.2.2.19190.22084. This discussion paper explores the following fundamental systemic issue: COVID-19 has
amplified future work trends to a point where business change now occurs at a pace that demonstrably exceeds the rate at
which tertiary educational providers are responding. It is therefore imperative to look beyond traditional curriculum and to
find new paths that re-establish the relevance and value of vocational education. Exploring this approach further we examine
how higher education curriculum can be designed in a non-traditional format to open employment opportunities for people
looking to enter fast-growth, emerging digital roles that span disciplines and ignore the Industrial Age boundary between the
blue collar worker and the white collar professional.

Integrating computer science into the K-12 curriculum is not news, so why put it into the SIGCSE Bulletin? Since the big
educational movements in the 1970s and 80s that promoted BASIC and Logo, computing educators have attempted to get the
kind of integration into pre-college that other disciplines, like Biology and Chemistry, have. This has been a struggle, and in
recent years computing, and programming in particular, are marginalized in K-12 for a variety of reasons including teacher
preparedness, politics and what Peter Denning described as the "eating the seed corn problem." While grassroots and
academic efforts such as CS Unplugged, CS4HS, the Alice and Scratch communities and the Principles of Computing AP
movement are becoming "old news", the news of the day is that politicians are coming on board.

15. Ed, Robinson,. (1981). Research in Science Education: New Questions, New Directions. Presented is a compilation of papers
focusing on new questions and new directions for research in science education. Papers are grouped into one of three related
fields of research: (1) analysis of curriculum materials, especially science textbooks; (2) investigations of science
understandings of students and experts; and (3) investigations of the contextual factors of science classrooms. A general
introduction precedes each of these three sections and summarizes and compares papers. Individual papers describe a
particular problem related to one of the general areas, the theoretical base underlying the research and how the problem is
being investigated, and selected research findings. Topics include: (1) textbook assessment; (2) analysis of science textbooks;
(3) structure, strategies, and comprehension in learning; (4) concept of change in scientific reasoning; (5) understanding and
problem-solving in physics; (6) implications of classroom research for science and math instruction; (7) mathematics
classroom inquiry; and (8) the case for the participant/observer in mathematics classrooms. (DS)

describes the main approaches of the mechanisms of updating the Master's Degree programs in science education in the
pedagogical higher education institution. We consider the organizational-pedagogical conditions for the program updating.
We suggest functional and procedural approaches to solving this problem.
17. Murray, John. (2015). TITLE: A Vision for Science Education: New Evidence from a National Panel. Educational
leadership: journal of the Department of Supervision and Curriculum Development, N.E.A. John Murray holds a PhD in
science education and has been an educator in Manitoba for more than 25 years. He recently led a national-level study
focusing on the future of science education in Canada, the results of which form the essence of this article. John has a keen
interest in the history of science and mathematics in antiquity and is currently working on a new book which focuses on the
manner in which early Greek mathematical astrology influenced – and may have been critical to - the development of
Renaissance astronomy under the watchful eyes of Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler.

number of selected papers that were initially presented at the International Conference for the History of Science in Science
Education (ICHSSE). This particular meeting, being the ninth in this series, took place in Flensburg (Germany) in 2012 and
was devoted to discuss questions on enabling scientific understanding through historical instruments and experiments in
formal and non-formal learning environments. The entire conference series originated from collaboration between Arthur
Stinner (University of Manitoba) and Jürgen Teichmann (Deutsches Museum Munich). They established a series of meetings
that aimed at familiarizing science teachers with topics from the history of science. This collection of papers in these two
volumes are dedicated to the memory of Arthur Stinner, who unexpectedly died in 2014, and honour his large contribution to
our common interests as science educators.The Flensburg conference brought together science educ ...

disabilities in health science programs. A major report from the Association of American Medical Colleges, in partnership
with the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine examined the lived experiences of learners with
disabilities and offered considerations for improving policy and practice.
20. Maboloc, Christopher Ryan. (2020). Critical Pedagogy in the New Normal. Critical pedagogy is an educational approach that
challenges students to develop the ability to recognize and criticize dominating theories and evaluate them in their social
context. Teachers press students to recognize oppression and try to remedy oppression in their culture. Despite the lack of in-
person interaction between the teacher and the students, the effort to use innovative teaching techniques like critical
pedagogy should continue.
