This book examines and illustrates the potential of narrative technology, the integration and synthesis of storytelling and digital media in education. Storytelling is a foundational and powerful process in all learning and teaching, and technology is becoming ever more ubiquitous and sophisticated, particularly in its capabilities to mediate and augment creative storytelling. The book begins with a foundational analysis of narrative use in education today, and provides a history of the emergence of narrative technology. It explores how the convergence of high-potential computing and storytelling practices and techniques can be used to enhance education, in particular the design of bespoke, interactive physical learning environments. The contemporary importance of educational design is highlighted throughout the book, which concludes with the SCâEAL design-based research framework as a proposed systematic approach to the design of narrative technology in education. The book will be a valuable resource for educational designers, technologists, teachers and policymakers, especially those with an interest in the design and use of narrative technology in education. -- Back cover.

Digital technologies have transformed business models quickly, making sustainable, inventive performance essential for the survival of businesses, particularly in emerging markets. However, a lot of English educational institutions struggle to make use of digital platform capability (DPC) due to a lack of funding, resources, and experience that stifles prospects for advanced innovation. After the COVID-19 pandemic, this study suggests a framework to investigate how English educational institutions might improve their innovation performance using DPC. The study examines the relationship between digital innovation (DI) and innovation performance (IP), as well as the moderating effects of digital technology (DT). This study uses a quantitative methodology and questionnaire survey with 435 respondents from institutions that support DPC. The analysis examines the hypotheses using correlations, regression analyses, and 5000 bootstraps. The results demonstrate a positive relationship between DPC and IP, with DI acting as a mediator. Additionally, the outcomes show that the development of digital technology strengthens the positive influence of DPC on innovation performance. Through filling research gaps, this study adds to the body of knowledge. It also has significant management implications for English educational institutions looking to improve their innovation performance by fostering digital platform ability and digital innovation.

This book explores emerging practices in distance education that have been facilitated by the development of educational technology. The volume examines core themes in distance education including online education at scale, embodiment in online environments, connectivity in online education and the personalisation of learning experiences within online education. The first section of the book examines online teaching tools, and explores how they are being used to enhance and promote student learning. The second looks at some of the broader challenges encountered by online teachers and those responsible for designing online learning material. While this volume will be of significant interest to distance learning universities and colleges, it will also be a valuable resource to traditional Higher Education Institutions, who are increasingly searching for innovative ways to reach and teach their students. This edited collection will be of value to scholars of online education as well as practitioners and policy makers looking to enrich their notions of online pedagogy.

This study highlights the importance of entrepreneurial culture in educational institutions as an organization. This study emphasizes the relationship between entrepreneurial culture, entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurial intention as study variables. This study highlights several aspects: the relationship between variables, study trend, contextual aspect like (country or educational institutions), population, publication type, and study design. A scoping review method is considered for this study based on both Scopus and Web of Science databases. The covered publications in the analyses were for the last 20 years ranging from the year 2003 till August 2021, with no limits on languages. After filtration, the eligible number of studies was (n = 94) out of 180 from both databases. The methodology part contains several sections based on the PRISM-ScR checklist. The findings show a significant relationship among the three variables with the possibility of entrepreneurial culture being a mediator between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention for future studies, which has not been tested yet. The highest publications werein 2015, especially by European Union countries, as studies in developed countries were more than developing and economies in transition countries. Quantitative studies were more than qualitative and mixed methods, as studies considered HEIs more than schools focusing on students and then teachers. To conclude, policymakers are encouraged to follow policies to improve entrepreneurial culture growth by promoting strategic cooperation among stakeholders and educational institutions implementing several concepts to enhance entrepreneurial culture. Future studies should validate and test these variables' relationships through a standard and accurate instrument.

\"Education systems in Europe have been undergoing profound changes within the last few years. New actors, procedures, and arenas of policymaking have emerged which strongly affect today's education systems. Although traditionally assumed to be a genuinely 'national' policy field, international initiatives and programmes - among the most prominent ones being the PISA study for secondary education and the Bologna Process for higher education - have triggered fundamental reforms in many countries. This book focuses on educational outcomes and actors' reactions on internationalization. Including quantitative evaluation of a large set of OECD countries as well as seven qualitative case studies (Germany, France, England, Spain, Switzerland, USA, and China), Internationalization of Education Policy provides timely insights into a dynamic and highly contested policy field\"-- Provided by publisher.

Ukraine’s integration into global and European educational space, efficient implementation of educational reforms in this direction, the improvement of the quality of children and young people education is impossible without proper development of fundamental principles of marketing and management of educational innovations, first of all, among the Heads of New Ukrainian School. However, the absence of efficient mechanisms in Ukraine for training the above-mentioned Heads on marketing and management of educational innovations in New Ukrainian School negatively affects the quality of education therein and undermines the State education system in general. Therefore, the pressing issue at the current stage of education development in Ukraine is to determine the modalities and resources for the development of entrepreneurial and managerial competencies among the Heads of general secondary education institutions in the context of the power decentralization and establishment of consolidated territorial communities. With due regard for priority and pendency of the above-mentioned issue, its incomplete study, the principal objective of this study is to determine the key stages and describe the process of developing fundamental principles of marketing and management of educational innovations among the Heads of New Ukrainian School and measures for their efficient implementation. After performing analysis we have found that marketing and management of educational innovations of the Head of New Ukrainian School is his/her integrated, consistent and purposeful activity along with analysis and satisfaction of fundamentally new types of demand for educational services in the context of taking unconventional managerial decisions at his/her institution during such process.  Moreover, with due regard to the aforementioned approach, we outlined the key stages of the fundamental principles development of marketing and management of educational innovations among the Heads of New Ukrainian School. So they include: the formation and control of specialists team towards development and implementation of educational innovations; determination of educational services market segment, demand for which needs to be satisfied; definition of criteria and conditions towards formation and satisfaction of demand for providing certain types of educational services etc. It is established that there are problems in the process of implementation of all above-mentioned stages, namely: absence of financial independence of educational institutions; the desire of the Heads of educational institutions to have legal and financial independence; positive managerial experience of the Heads of educational institutions regarding development and implementation of educational innovations etc. In order to avoid all above-mentioned problems, we have determined measures for the efficient implementation of marketing and management of educational innovations by the Heads of New Ukrainian School. They include: providing financial autonomy to educational institutions; performing professional training of the Heads of educational institutions, their deputies and teaching staff in general; forming new and improving the existing material and technical resources of educational institutions; implementing professionally oriented staff policy by the Heads of educational institutions in order to attract the most promising and young professionals to work as teachers etc. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is to determine, substantiate and analyze the key stages of fundamental principles development of marketing and management of educational innovations by the Heads of New Ukrainian School in the context of transformation of regulatory system and scientific and pedagogical approaches to children and young people education (shift in priorities and components of the development in this area of social activity). The obtained results of the research is the ground for studying and providing a practical solution of the problem regarding the formation of high-quality staffing and provision of fundamentally new educational services at educational institutions.

\"This book explores the role of education in the formation of the Singapore developmental state, through a study of education for citizenship in Singapore from 1955 to present day. The book provides a historical study of citizenship education in Singapore, whereby a comparative study of history, civics and social studies curricula, and the politics and policies that underpin them are examined. The book demonstrates how the state maintained its hegemony and legitimacy through the culture of crisis management through education. It is essentially the history of how Singapore's developmental state managed crises (imagined, real or engineered), and how changes in history, civics and social studies curricula, served to legitimize the state, through educating and moulding the desired 'good citizen' in the interest of nation building. Underpinning these changes has been the state's use of cultural constructs such as Confucianism and Asian values to shore up its legitimacy\"-- Provided by publisher.

Thе paper investigates the influence of a set of twelve various nature knowledge sharing barriers (shortly, KSBs) on the knowledge sharing speed and quality in the administrative subdivisions of six leading Russian universities. The respondents have been answering the questionnaire including questions regarding the KSBs’ perceived strength from the knowledge requester and knowledge holder positions, thus creating four models tested via the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 package as linear regression equations. The testing results are showing statistically significant influence of several KSBs on the knowledge sharing speed and quality. The methodology and results of the study have both practical applicability and theoretical value, as administrative subdivisions are considerably unpopular objects of knowledge sharing research in higher educational institutions, in contrast to the research and teaching subdivisions. Several further research development directions are suggested, considering both the sample extension and changes in the research methodology.
