This article examines the educational and teacher-related policies in the Sahel region countries over the past decade and highlights main issues that hinder their ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The discrepancy between the current situation and the desired pace of change can be attributed to the lack of prioritization…

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is rapidly becoming ubiquitous in many contexts. There is limited scholarship, however, in the fields of Developmental Psychology and Early Childhood Education exploring the implications of generative AI for babies and young children. In this Perspectives piece, we discuss potential use cases,…

The long-term success for educational innovation in the health professions is not just the responsibility of the educator. It requires a synergy and collaboration among multiple factors that contribute to the process. This chapter examines these factors through a framework for holistic support of innovative educators.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent to which the concept of learning organization can support the embedding of responsible innovation (RI) in organizations.

This qualitative, self-reflection study was conducted by three instructors who had recently participated in a workshop on Principled Innovation, a character development framework designed in their college of education. They were confident about how they integrated PI into their courses but saw potential for further improvement. Drawing on…

There is an increasing call to include Artificial Intelligence (AI) competencies in academic disciplines such as Public Administration, which are not obviously related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). However, the literature on the integration of AI in non-STEM curricula in South African higher education institutions…

Universities occupy a contested space regarding their responses to the climate and nature emergencies. They are criticised for their neoliberalism, marketisation and corporatism yet they provide education to the leaders of tomorrow who are essential for the transition to a sustainable world.

While an increasing number of studies postulate that vocational education and training (VET) activities have a positive impact on the innovative capacity of training companies, empirical evidence on the topic remains contradictory. This study exploits establishment data from a representative survey of German companies to estimate the relationship…

A concept-heavy engineering module was offered to introduce the experience of solving full-scale real-world energy-related engineering problems within a classroom environment and prepare students to be professionally ready for the industry. The widely practiced hybrid problem-based learning (h-PBL) pedagogical approach was adopted for the first 2…

With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED), ensuring that ethical principles are fully respected and implemented as AI technology drives educational innovation has become a pressing issue. Educators are actively exploring and establishing ethical guidelines for AIED, but the fragmented nature of existing research…

The primary focus of this research is to analyze university students' perceptions of the blended learning method, particularly within the context of artificial intelligence and the post-covid learning environment.
