Pertinent Information

ABSTRACT In this paper I will explore the Case Studies of three American students who spent time studying abroad during their undergraduate education. Through personal, one-on-one, interviews, I explore each individual's specific program, educational experience, and lasting personal impressions. I have compiled these findings and presented them in conjunction with pertinent information on Study Abroad in the United States today. This review includes present day models used in the Study Abroad industry, barriers to entry facing students, as well as the benefits and concerns related to foreign study. By placing these experiences in the context and perspective of domestic curriculums, I will emphasize the need to integrate globally- focused education further into undergraduate learning. In conclusion, I touch on possible solutions to obstacles preventing students from spending time studying internationally.

At Home

The sudden shift to distance learning caused by the COVID-19 virus emergency has posed a serious challenge to schools. This article presents a successful model for applying the STEM approach in science education at the Alexander Georgiev-Kodzhakafaliyata Primary School in Burgas. In the conditions of synchronous distance learning in MS Teams environment, students conduct experiments with handy tools and materials at home, during online classes or as homework assignments, then describe the experiments in presentations and share them with their classmates during the project week ( April holidays and at the end of the year). The application of STEM home laboratory combines knowledge from different disciplines, diversifies and facilitates learning, enables learning by doing things, which most stimulates the curiosity of students. Thus, they casually acquire skills for planning and conducting a scientific experiment, generating hypotheses and reasoning, measuring results and formulating conclusions. At the same time, soft skills for teamwork, creative and critical thinking, presentation skills are formed and upgraded.
