The Impact

This paper aims to investigate the teachers’ and students' views on using technology and its effect oncommunication/interaction. As noteworthy results have been succeeded in educational technology in recent years,evaluating the effects of technology integration on communication is now possible. Moreover, the impact oftechnology on the teachers' and students' communication is considered important. The present study examines thefactors or the impact of using technology between teacher-student communication/interaction in Turkey. This paperproposes both innovation diffusion theory (IDT) and integrating technology acceptance model (TAM) fromeducational communication perspectives. The case study method was used in the research. Case study is one of thequalitative approaches and requires in-depth analysis of a case resulting in a narrative description of behaviour orexperience of a person or a group. The sample of this study consists of 95 participants (77 students and 18 teachers)from a secondary school in Bursa/Turkey. Semi-Structured interviews were carried out with the participants includingissues; "using education technology on teacher and student technologies, the effect of using education technology andto improve teacher-student communication should be used asolution proposals for technologies in classrooms".Maxqda 11 program was used for the analysis of the interviews. As a result of the interviews, participants have beensuggested to use tablets in classrooms, sound insulation, use of never ending pen and no ringtones. The findings showthat the choice of educational technology is related to teachers’ perception which is communication/interaction withthe student can be enhanced using technology. However, the opposite is true for students.

Positive Effect

Interest in offering Entrepreneurship Education (EE) to all kinds of university students is increasing. Therefore, universities are increasing the number of entrepreneurship courses intended for students from different fields of study and with different education levels. Through a single case study of the Contamination Lab of Turin (CLabTo), we suggest how EE may be taught to all kinds of university students. We have combined design methods with EE to create a practical-oriented entrepreneurship course which allows students to work in transdisciplinary teams through a learning-by-doing approach on real-life projects. Professors from different departments have been included to create a multidisciplinary environment. We have drawn on programme assessment data, including pre- and post-surveys. Overall, we have found a positive effect of the programme on the students’ entrepreneurial skills. However, when the data was broken down according to the students’ fields of study and education levels, mixed results emerged.

Competency Based

The development of the pharmaceutical industry is one of the priority tasks of our state, aimed at providing the population of the Russian Federation with modern safe and effective medicines. The solution to this problem is impossible without the formation of a highly qualified personnel potential that meets the demand and expectations of the pharmaceutical market and society as a whole. In this regard, in the system of training of pharmacists in recent years, quite dynamic and flexible transformations have been taking place, dictated by the urgent needs of domestic health care. It should be noted that in the process of implementing this educational standard, the competency-based approach to organizing the process of training modern pharmacists comes to the fore. One of the effective tools for the formation of professional competencies in various educational fields is the case study method. Case study is a training method based on the analysis of real situations from various areas of professional activity and contributing to the development of specialist competency. The competency-based orientation of the case study method is in line with modern ideas about the organization of the educational process for the training of pharmacists. The case study method is actively used in the process of teaching disciplines of the curriculum of the Federal State Budget Educational Establishment of Higher Education KubGMU of the Ministry of Health of Russia, specialty 33.05.01 Pharmacy. Examples of case study tasks as educational technology are presented in the work programs of the curriculum disciplines of the specialty 33.05.01 Pharmacy developed at the Department of Pharmacy. Depending on the content of the taught discipline, these tasks simulate a particular situation from the professional activities of pharmacists, offered to students for a comprehensive analysis and evaluation. The use of this educational technology contributes to the integration of knowledge, skills acquired in the learning process and their competency-based profiling in accordance with the current level of development of domestic health care.

AbstractThis paper addresses the issue of measuring tolerance, viewed as a multifaceted phenomenon involving several different social domains. We develop a multidimensional index for Likert-scale data, characterized by the following features: (i) it reflects the individual’s intensity of tolerant attitudes towards each social domain; (ii) the index can be broken down by dimension in order to determine the contribution of each dimension to overall tolerance; (iii) the index combines the different dimensions of tolerance using a weighted scheme that reflects the importance of each dimension in determining the overall level of tolerance. To show how this new measure of tolerance works in practice, we carry out a case study using an Italian recent survey asking the opinion of university students about different subjects, such as interreligious dialog, women/religion relationship, religion/death relationship, homosexuality, and multicultural society.
