The article describes the technology of developing pedagogical content tasks in research methods training of future vocational teachers. The implementation of the technology is considered by the authors as a sequence of three stages. The first one is the modelling of the structure of the research activity of vocational teachers and identifying its components. For this, the authors used a scientific approach based on the principles of building a polyisomorphic model. On this basis, the informational-analytical, model-drafting, experimental-measuring, and evaluation-reflective components have been defined and their content has been structured. The second stage is the formation of the subject field of research activity of vocational teachers. For this purpose, it has been proposed to use the structure of the pedagogical system (as a model of the educational process) and its functional shells (as characteristics of the elements of the pedagogical system in action). The authors have described the structure of the subject field of the research activity of a vocational teacher. On these grounds, the provisions of the conceptual system for the development of pedagogical content tasks in research methods training have been formed. The third stage of the technology is the development of a factor-criterion model for evaluating the quality of task performance, which is built on the basis of qualimetry. This approach makes it possible to prepare vocational teachers for the implementation of research work of the entire range of subjects of educational theory and practice, to objectively assess the level of training for the implementation of such activities. Certain results of empirical research have been presented, that make it possible to conclude on the effectiveness of using pedagogical content tasks.

The green transition increases the demand for STEM graduates, but high dropout rates and challenges for visually impaired students in laboratory courses hinder their participation. Haptic virtual reality (VR) labs, using haptic data gloves, offer an accessible alternative. Limited research exists on their structure, design, and integration, as well as their impact on learning outcomes. The "CrossLab" project aims to develop digital laboratories combining resources from multiple universities. Virtual labs for fluid dynamics are being developed in Unreal Engine 5.0, linked to haptic VR gloves. Surveys, experiments, and evaluations will assess the experiences and knowledge acquisition of visually impaired and non-impaired students. Preliminary findings suggest haptic VR labs compensate for impairments and improve learning outcomes. While they cannot replace all learning objectives, they allow impaired students to participate and gain expertise. The integration of haptic VR labs enhances learning in STEM subjects and improves accessibility. With multisensory experiences, students comprehend complex concepts and processes. The multisensory learning theory supports this approach, indicating that the brain develops optimally in such environments. Haptic VR labs create a realistic and immersive learning environment for impaired and non-visually impaired students, by combining visual, auditory, and haptic information. By fostering a comprehensive understanding, students enhance their abilities to tackle engineering challenges. This technology enriches and expands laboratory training in STEM subjects for all students. Future research will develop and utilize VR and haptic VR labs for various practicals, further improving learning outcomes and accessibility.

The purpose of this research study is to assess the possibilities of augmented reality (AR) technologies at secondary technical colleges. The main focus is the evaluation of students thoughts and willingness to implement AR into their education process. Evaluation was done with a pre- and post-activity survey. In between those surveys, the students were given a short introduction about AR and afterwards explored AR by themselves by creating an experience, which included creating and publishing an AR project. The seven assumptions made were all supported by the survey results. The survey was conducted and analyzed by students.

Designing effective human-computer interfaces comes with significant challenges and this applies to interfaces used in e-learning as well. One way to design effective interfaces is by studying human reactions at the level of psychophysiological processes. This enables the analysis of system components' impact on cognitive and emotional human functions. The aim of this publication is to present a methodological approach for designing useful e-learning materials based on the measurement and analysis of eye movement activity and facial expression. The research results and conclusions are both methodological and applied in nature.

Transportation is crucial in supporting production processes and distributing products. In this context, B2B logistics, which refers to the movement of goods from one business to another, is no longer a passive function but a transformative force driving business success. The proposed approach to choosing a strategy for servicing cargo owners assumes that regional delivery chains can utilize various alternative distribution channel structures. This approach considers the organization of cargo flows and the number of intermediaries (warehouses, distributors, retailers, etc.). The developed mathematical model allows for simultaneously considering a set of interrelationships of internal and external factors and choosing the best service strategy based on the efficiency criteria of minimum total costs. As a result of experimental studies the areas of effective use of alternative strategies and the structure of distribution channels by the requirements of cargo owners regarding the quality and cost of services were determined.

In a predominantly technological environment, higher education institutions have chosen to move from faculty traditional training to comprehensive online training programs. A transition of this magnitude requires a careful implementation and assessment process. This study describes the process of design, validation, production, implementation, and assessment of the online training developed by Universidad Tecnologica Centroamericana (Unitec), in Honduras, in alliance with Coursera. This study is motivated by the need to understand how effective an online training program can be following participant's perception and big data analysis. This paper systematizes all the stages developed to design and implement the faculty development program through Coursera, including all the resources and templates used. For the assessment stage, a quantitative approach was used, analyzing the statistics provided by Coursera and the information collected through the self-perception survey completed for 110 professors involved in the training experience. From the survey results, participants highlighted three positive aspects: quality of the contents, flexibility of schedules and the possibility to interact with peers. They also stated that it would be important to have an induction session to recognize the virtual environment and to explore the methodology program. Based on the participants perception, the online training program offers multiple advantages: self-regulation, flexibility, and collaborative work. This online training experience represented an opportunity for faculty members to connect with the problems and challenges that students face on virtual environments.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are thriving in the Internet of Things (IoT) era. IoT can enable businesses to discover new opportunities and create IoT-based solutions or services. The IoT is a major technological transformation impacting various domains, such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture. The IoT is a fast-growing field with many job prospects. Therefore, it is essential to integrate IoT technologies and their industrial applications into the Higher Vocational Education curriculum, as the graduates will be the future workforce. In Austria, some departments of Higher Vocational Colleges have introduced IoT technologies. To ensure practical implementation, seminars were developed to provide lecturers with comprehensive knowledge and training materials. The main goal of this study is to examine the students' perception of IoT education. To collect empirical data a questionnaire was developed based on hypotheses to gather empirical data, which will be analyzed using statistical methods. According to the findings, IoT is generally well-received by students as a component of their vocational education. The analysis highlighted the positive attitude of students from various departments regarding IoT education. Students also expressed some interest in pursuing their diploma thesis in this domain. But it is necessary to conduct a more extensive examination of the variations between departments. The insights gained from this research can then be utilized to tailor and enhance the work of lecturers, curriculum, and instructional resources.

The members of national minorities and ethnic groups should be guaranteed the right to learn the state language. The educational process in schools with the language of instruction of nationalities is carried out in accordance with the instrument of ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. The importance of being able to speak the majority language by members of minorities is supported by a number of European recommendations. The paper deals with the introduction of quality management in the teaching process, since one way of improving the quality of education is to build a quality management system at primary schools, focusing exclusively on schools with Hungarian language of instruction. The paper also includes the Analysis of the current state of teaching Slovak language and Slovak literature in schools with Hungarian language of instruction. When teaching this subject at the primary level of education, attention has to be paid to the fact that pupils in the first year of primary school with Hungarian language of instruction come with different linguistic and speech competences.

Classroom questioning can promote students' learning to happen and is an important means of classroom teaching. In order to analyze the target direction of questions raised by teachers in current classroom teaching, clarify the difference between questions on different topics, and discover the problems of classroom teaching, the article takes the mathematics discipline competence as the direction of classroom questions, constructs a question coding framework based on the analysis of the connotation and behavioral performance of mathematics discipline competence, and analyzes the 20 examples of elementary school mathematics classroom teaching in collaboration with generative artificial intelligence. The results of the study found that the current classroom teaching questions are focused on learning comprehension and application practice, and less on creative transfer. The teaching questions of different teaching topics vary, with the teaching questions of number and algebra, graphing and geometry focusing on generalization and comprehension, and illustration and argumentation, and the questions of probability and statistics focusing on speculation and explanation. Finally, the article suggests that the design of questions should take into account the teaching objectives, teaching content, higher-order cognitive questions, and scientific expression of teaching questions based on the idea of cue engineering.

This paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the Italian school curriculum. It proposes an activity to introduce students to the mechanisms behind AI with a special emphasis on Machine Learning (ML) and its integration with a simple robotic DIY artifact, with a maker-oriented approach. The activity aims to encourage the development of problem-solving abilities and cross-cutting skills in an inclusive framework that aligns with European key competencies. The paper also discusses the use of various reference documents, ranging from the White Paper on AI to the Ethical Guidelines for Educators on the use of AI and data. The project uses machine learning and robotics to create an intelligent waste bin to identify and sort waste. This is a way to promote awareness of the European Agenda 2030, which is an essential component of the curriculum, and encourage responsible conduct that emphasizes sustainability and environmental conservation. Future research could focus on the impact of the activity on students' curriculum-based learning and how it influences their approach to Artificial Intelligence.
