Adaptation of the Russian education system to the changes forced by the COVID-19 pandemic was complicated by the sheer size of the country, which entails the differentiation of the regions in terms of the quality of education, access to knowledge networks, communication resources, and top universities. Amid the pandemic, the country’s education system experienced an initial shock after the introduction of distance learning in March 2020, attempted to return to classroom learning in September 2020, and introduced blended learning in October 2020. Each stage brought about changes in organization and management of teaching and learning processes, development of online learning platforms and courses, and technological improvements. A diversified teacher education system impeded these changes. In effect, only the largest among 300 education institutions that offer teacher education programs had the necessary resources to provide high-quality distance and blended learning. Their experience could form the basis for creating a standardized model of teacher training for the purposes of blended learning. This is most probable in the context of the tight control and the top–down approach typical of the Russian education system. The article, therefore, analyzes some examples regarding teacher training during the pandemic implemented at Russian universities. These cases have the potential to become major trends that would ensure consistency of the country’s education system in extreme situations that might recur in the future.

The online learning platform (OLS) is currently the new normal learning setting amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Teachers need to look on the other side of the traditional classroom-based learning mode to make teaching and learning in the new normal possible. It aimed to analyze the current state of the teacher education freshmen applicants concerning the new normal learning platforms. This study employed a descriptive method of research and considered a sample of 85 freshmen applicants in the College of Teacher Education in the academic year 2020-2021. The frequencies and percent value was used to analyze the data gathered. The following are the verdicts of the study, the bulk of the respondents belong to low-income families with farming as their family source of income. Most of the respondents have their mobile phones while the great majorities are using mobile data only. All of the respondents do not have any idea about the different platforms in online learning. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that the freshmen applicants in the College of Teacher Education cannot totally survive and are not yet ready to embrace the new normal learning platforms due to poverty and lack of resources. It is therefore recommended that the University administration needs to open other sources of learning platforms such as the use of printed learning materials of which will be delivered door-to-door to the students. Besides, the College of Teacher Education should plan and initiate on how to make learning flexible and more engaging.

This chapter describes an experience in teacher training for e-learning in the field of adult education. It takes into account the models offered by flexible lifelong learning as the proper way to develop training for teachers in service, considering the advantages of blended learning for the target audience. The chapter discusses the balance between mere ICT skills and pedagogical competences. In this context the learning design should always allow that the teachers in training integrate in their work ICT solutions that fit to the didactic objectives, renew teaching and learning methodology, facilitate communication, give place to creativity, and allow pupils to learn at their own pace. By doing so, they will be closer to the profile of a tutor online, as a practitioner who successfully takes advantages of the virtual environments for collaborative work and learning communication.

This chapter describes an investigation of strategies for fostering higher order cognition in a blended learning environment. The exploration, which utilised a qualitative case study approach, highlights the critical nature of effective instructional design. The study extends the educator’s understanding of the complexities of online and blended learning environments through an analysis of the discourse of computer-mediated communication in a first year teacher education course. The investigation resulted in the development of a pedagogical framework which outlines the relationship between pedagogies, technologies and their related learning outcomes. Critical indicators, which are potentially important as strategies and early warning signs of “students at risk”, become evident in the analysis. This research had led to notions of imprinting and cognitive tracks which can be used to inform strategies for teaching and learning using a blended approach.

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 has brought about many changes including the higher education system. The main problem is how the education system could adapt to change and promote social innovation. This paper aims to describe the necessary changes and adjustments made in the education system, thereby better meeting the requirements of Industry 4.0, and creating a competitive education system, contributing to socio-economic development. With the research method based on the synthesis of documents, the research results show that, in the context of Industry Revolution 4.0 and the complexity of globalization, the philosophy in educational innovation needs to be changed so that universities can contribute more to society and enhance academic liberalization. Students need to master the knowledge and skills such as critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration, creativity and innovation. In addition, literacy skills related to digital including information and communication knowledge are also important. Students should have access to knowledge based on diversity; and be ready to incorporate new knowledge that brings about positive changes, gradually fighting against injustice, lack of democracy and human rights, fostering an open society where voices are heard; and become responsible citizens. In addition, open learning platforms need to be considered by universities and teachers in deciding how to organize education and learning in the 4.0 Industrial Revolution era.

The study aims to answer the question: “Is it possible to benefit from education-themed films in teacher training policy?” For this purpose, students of the Faculty of Education were placed in film viewing/interpreting groups and were asked to determine the meanings conveyed in the following films: “Hababam Sınıfı,” “Sınav,” “Elephant,” and “Dead Poets Society.”  The findings obtained through content analysis were themed. Results showed that catchy/effective scenes and cues were grouped under the following main themes: Education, family, society, and adolescence. The most intensely-perceived main theme was the messages on the education system. The fact that education took first place and that this was followed by adolescence, society, and family-themed messages shows that the education phenomenon should be discussed with respect to these concepts.

Abstract: In this paper we examine the relationships established in the teaching and learning process. The main goals are to analyse the teacher’s role and the requirements that he or she should meet (teacher training, methodological knowledge, etc.), and also to study the student’s role and the problems related to this one caused by the current education system: overcrowding and absenteeism. These problems will disappear, in all likelihood, in the near future with the European guidelines on our education system.Resumen: En este trabajo se examinan las relaciones que se establecen en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Los objetivos que se persiguen son analizar el papel que desempeña el profesor y los requisitos que debe cumplir (práctica docente, conocimiento metodológico, etc.). También el papel que desempeña el estudiante y los problemas que se relacionan con él causados por el sistema actual de educación: masificación y absentismo. Problemas que probablemente desaparecerán con la Convergencia Europea.
