At least in the economic arena, by this time the norm should have been green microeconomics and green macroeconomy since 2012 Rio +20 as the tools to be taught to deal with the environmental crisis as consensus on paradigm change to green market, green growth, and green economies was reached/RIO +20 Conference/UNCSD 2012, but traditional economic thinking and traditional macroeconomic thinking is still the norm, which means that universities knowingly or not are normalizing paradigm shift avoidance, and blocking the growth of knowledge a la Thomas Kuhn; and this raises the question: Paradigm shift avoidance and universities, do they have a duty to science based paradigm evolution of knowledge?
what do you think?
Simply state Yes and give your opinion on why you think Yes or say No, and state your opinion on why you think No.

Answer
Alexander, thank you for taking the time to comment.
David did not answer the question directly, yet I politely still reply to him as he at least express his opinion.
The question is about green market paradigm shift avoidance since 2012 Rio +20 and university duties to the growth of science based knowledge that leaves traditional economic thinking behind, and you have not tried to answer the question at had here, which is: Paradigm shift avoidance and universities, do they have a duty to science based paradigm evolution of knowledge?
What is your opinion, Yes and why you think so or No and why you think so.
Then we go from there.

One impactful example of AI in higher education is the use of AI-powered virtual assistants to support students in their academic journey. These virtual assistants can provide 24/7 support for common inquiries, such as course registration, assignment deadlines, and campus resources.
For instance, at a university implementing such a system, students reported feeling more supported and empowered to navigate their academic responsibilities effectively. The virtual assistant not only reduced the burden on administrative staff but also improved student satisfaction and retention rates.
Moreover, by analysing student interactions with the virtual assistant, institutions can gain valuable insights into students' needs and pain points, allowing them to make data-driven decisions to enhance the overall learning experience.
This example illustrates how AI can have a tangible impact on higher education by improving student support services, fostering student success, and optimizing institutional resources.

I have come across some ideas which I hope will be pursued by academics in the associated disciplines:
1) Topics Broadly outlined in the following articles
Fathabadi OS (2022) Voluntary Selection; Bringing Evolution at the Service of Humanity. Scientific J Genet Gene Ther 8(1): 009-015.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17352/sjggt.000021
Fathabadi OS (2023) The way of future through voluntary selection. Glob J Ecol 8(1): 034-041. DOI: 10.17352/gje.000079
2) Explanation of how violence is the link between evolution and society. What is not clear in the articles above is that just as a disease shows symptoms such as fever in its early stages, violence that is caused by the lack of evolutionary order in society also shows itself in the form of problems like bullying, harassment, discrimination, passive aggression, coercive control, etc and then It may appear in the form of an increase in the rate of crimes and social riots and finally in the form of naked violence, civil wars, genocides and foreign wars. The purpose of the topics raised in both articles is to realize the evolutionary order through the methods proposed in control engineering and by achieving the desired statistical goals, not only to prevent violence, but also to spread satisfaction in the society and to provide internal and external security.
3) Interpretation of historical events including genocides and world wars through the lens of insights provided above for example how passive aggression became widespread prior to such events.
4) The articles above argue that Control Theory, in conjunction with data science, can help establish and maintain democracies with an unprecedented level of stability and provide optimal levels of living standards by regulating evolutionary health of societies and the relationships between them. This goal however, requires interpretation of the theory widely used in engineering, for application in Humanities. Control Engineering remains a rather challenging field to learn and its theoreticians and practitioners are mostly active in areas other than humanities - most critically politics - and even despite the large number of engineering graduates receiving education in Systems and Control Theory as part of their curriculum, the specific practical pathway for application of the theory for solving problems in Humanities remains rather unclear; let alone the inaccessibility of the field to the practitioners of humanities even to the extent necessary to allow them to express the problems in terms approachable by control engineering experts. Projects should therefore be defined to develop highly targeted educational materials and tools which provide a shortcut to applying the theory in solving practical problems in humanities. It is particularly important to understand that the type of Control Theory applicable to Humanities would be "Non-Linear Time-Varying Control" which is an extension of control Theory as relevant to most engineering problems and as such, the specific theory will need to be developed specifically beyond what a classically educated expert in Control Engineering would be comfortably equipped with even if educated with a PhD. For example the types of time constants and uncertainties relevant in Humanities and the types of irregularities which can be created by collective mis-intentions of social groups as well as moral aspects of implications of such techniques on human population will extend to matters associated in politics, biology, culture, education, and media. Actually it is important to understand that the knowledge and tools, will not act as a pill to fix problems but through insights, they provide directions and "Decision Support Systems" with local applicability and temporal relevance which despite their limitations, will provide unprecedented powers for providing better living standards for all populations and individuals. Such tools need to be maintained in order to remain relevant to the changes in the system under control and time. The developed materials will help students, researchers and practitioners get started and up to speed with the expertise through minimal training or self-study and the impact I believe would be revolutionary. In addition to Systems and Control Theory, the mentioned books/educational materials/tools may also cover topics such as Programming, Differential Equations, Numerical Optimisation, System Identification, Artificial Intelligence and to some extent Statistics. The set of these topic may one day help establish an independent field of study namely "Humanities Engineering".
5) Applications of the theory, educational materials, and tools mentioned above, to solve practical problems associated in sociology, psychology, politics and other fields of humanities is the ultimate goal and such projects make great topics for research in universities, Think tanks, and governments. It is important to mention that using the mean-values and standard deviations defining phenotypic profiles of populations is a way of taking into account the differences of different populations in achieving desirable results within them and in regulating the relationship between them.
6) It is also possible to characterise discourses, and broadcasted contents by defining relevant indices that quantify various aspects of them and then model and predict their relationship with the outcomes in society. These models can then act as decision support systems to identify and implement adjustments for achieving the desired social outcomes. If sufficiently predictive, they can also be used in combination with other models or in isolation as part of the control loops associated in Control Theory in order to achieve the desired outcomes in terms of sustainability, social stability, freedoms, economic welfare, health, national security, psychological security, gender equality, and optimal levels of happiness in all individuals and social groups, etc.
7) It is possible to compile a set of contents including matters mentioned in the articles above, to act as a mental anchorage for people. Something that is scientifically proven, convincing and understandable by those who put in the effort and allows them to remain motivated, morally directed, socially responsible and supported and mentally healthy. I believe adding a content starting from Genetics explaining how "Life is a complex Product of Nature" and how "Survival and Reproduction are Complex Interpretations of Laws of Nature" is necessary. Topics such as cosmology and Quantum Physics can also be included.
8) It is possible to define a project on optimal forms of democracy for different populations with emphasis on the fact that peoples' choices represent their interests as they understand them as individuals while much of what comprises our existing living standards or is necessary for achieving higher standards of living are a result of societies and mechanisms maintaining them. Societies were formed by cultures/religions as an aftermath of painful evolutionary events which occurred when people pursued their personal interests and emerged as optimal ways of achieving a better average standard of living for larger numbers of individuals over a larger proportion of their lives. In other words, many aspects of our existing living standards are by-products of societies and could not be achieved or maintained only pursuing our individual choices which is what a democracy guarantees. Democracies should be pursued for optimum living standards and preventing abuse however, it is necessary to have democracies in place to guarantee the maintenance of society itself (what you can call an evolutionary order) and realise/maintain its desired levels of standards of living and this should not be compromised by the choice of individuals.
9) Ethics of Voluntary Selection and application of methods concerned in Control Theory and AI in solving problems in Humanities specially to prevent abuse of individuals, and minorities under the flag of interests of society and to prevent creating senseless scientific approvals for imposing disadvantage on individuals and social groups. It is also necessary to minimise pain imposed on individuals and social groups in transitions as a result of adjustments.
10) While the first article introduces the concept of "Voluntary Selection" and a methodology to use it in a calculated way, it only acts as a beginning and if it is going to be implemented, a huge methodological and experimental effort is needed for identifying relevant phenotypes, developing phenotypic maps for distinct populations, identifying the results when choosing donor and receiver populations, and developing tools to predict and monitor the progress of such programs besides studying the implications for society, economy and beyond. Research can also dig deeper and take into account genotype-phenotype relationships in achieving the desired results.

How to use artificial intelligence technology and Big Data to help develop critical thinking in young people and the goal of reducing disinformation that targets children and young people through online social media?
Disinformation is currently the most frequently cited problem occurring in social media from which children and young people gain knowledge. Companies engage advertising companies that specialize in running online advertising campaigns, in which advertising spots, videos and banners informing people about promotional offers for products and services sold are posted on social media. The aforementioned online social media are also viewed by children and teenagers. For some of these social media, the primary audiences for profiled information and marketing messages are mainly school-aged youth. Children and adolescents are particularly susceptible to the influence of information transferred through the aforementioned online media. Advertisements are thematically profiled to correlate with issues that are in the field of the main interests of children and adolescents. Unfortunately, many offers of various products and services promoted through online advertising campaigns are not suitable for children and adolescents and/or generate a lot of negative effects. Nowadays, applications based on generative artificial intelligence technology, intelligent chatbots, are increasingly used to generate banners, graphics, photos, videos, animations, advertising spots. With the help of these tools, which are available on the Internet, it is possible to create a photo, graphic or video on the basis of a written command, i.e. a kind of digitally generated works of such high graphic quality that it is very difficult to determine whether they are, for example, authentic photos taken with a camera or smartphone or are supposedly photos generated by an intelligent chatbot. It is especially difficult to resolve this kind of issue for children and young people who view these kinds of artificial intelligence technology-generated "works" used in banners or advertising videos. It is necessary, therefore, that education should develop in children the ability to think critically, to ask questions, to question the veracity of the content of advertisements, not to accept uncritically everything found in online social media. It is essential to add the issue of learning critical thinking to the process of educating children and young people. The goal of such education should be, among other things, to develop in children and young people the ability to identify disinformation, including the increasingly common factoids, deepfakes, etc. in online social media. In connection with the fact that in the creation of disinformation occurring mainly in the aforementioned social media are involved applications based on artificial intelligence, so children and adolescents should, within the framework of education, learn about the applications available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence technology, through which it is possible to generate texts, graphics, photos, drawings, animations and videos in a partially automated manner according to a given verbal command. This is how the applications available on the Internet based on the new technologies of Industry 4.0/5.0, including generative artificial intelligence and Big Data technologies, should be used to help develop critical thinking and a kind of resistance to misinformation in young people. During school lessons, students should learn about the capabilities of AI-based applications available on the Internet and use them creatively to develop critical thinking skills. In this way, it is possible to reduce disinformation directed through online social media towards children and young people.
I described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT
I described the applications of Big Data technologies in sentiment analysis, business analytics and risk management in my co-authored article:
APPLICATION OF DATA BASE SYSTEMS BIG DATA AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE IN INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATION
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How to use artificial intelligence and Big Data technologies to help develop critical thinking in young people and the goal of reducing misinformation that targets children and young people through online social media?
How can artificial intelligence technology be used to help educate youth in critical thinking and the ability to identify disinformation?

I will be teaching Critical Thinking as a stand-alone full semester course in a BSc in the Fall. I've incorporated AI by requiring learners to evaluate the AI information comparatively to information that is available in other formats (most prominently research and scientific consensus information) for specific topics, including the topic of CT, which is based primarily in self-evaluation of own thinking processes. AI cannot, as far as I know, mimic CT because it requires personal insight. For now this makes AI another thought process challenge for the critical-thinking learner. They are not expected to rely on any information provided to them by AI, as they are not expected to rely on any information provided to them in other formats, until they've evaluated both the information and their thought processes in relation to that information and come to a logical and justifiable position.

I would be interested in your opinions and own experiences on Jaron Lanier and Tristan Harris' case on how social platforms and the modern age of (monetized) big data manipulate behavior and deteriorate the ability to think critically in an individual.
I don't mean how sophisticated algorithms suggest the best-placed advertisings, that's a commonly known fact and everybody is aware of that nowadays.
What I mean is the perceived "stupification" of younger generations, fueled by overuse of technology in general, and social platforms in particular. The sophisticated tailoring of those platforms to the short attention spans, the mainly senseless content, the biased bubbles and so on, to me, appear to lessen the critical thinking abilities (and -willingness), paired with the Dunning-Kruger-Effect, that those who are the least informed have overwhelming confidence in their ill-informed opinions.
I have a very strong opinion on this, but it may also be biased by experiences I have made throughout the past years as an educator, and deterred by the sort of students I have worked with. I would like to see a bigger picture, not research trends.
So, what are your subjective impressions on the phone- and social platform addicted young generation and their cognitive abilities, their willingness to achieve excellence, and the influence new media has on them?

Dear Prof. Gross!
You made a crucial point. The phenomenon you talk about has been registered in the non-academic world:
Verma, S. (2019). Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy. Vikalpa, 44(2), 97-98. https://doi.org/10.1177/0256090919853933, Quoting: "The author has christened these mathematical models and algorithms “weapons of math destruction” (WMD) because of their attributes: opacity, scale and damage......In the case of a human decision maker, there is a feedback loop which allows for correction of errors in judgement. According to the author, this critical feedback loop is missing in the case of WMDs as they seek to create their own version of reality which in turn lends further evidence in favour of their judgements." Open access:
>>"Social media platforms are using AI to automatically rank posts, which enables the mass de-prioritization of legitimate news outlets in favor of fake, spammy, or manipulative user-uploaded content" in Caitlin Chin-Rothmann 2023. Navigating the Risks of Artificial Intelligence on the Digital News Landscape, ©2024 Center for Strategic & International Studies, Available at: https://www.csis.org/analysis/navigating-risks-artificial-intelligence-digital-news-landscape
I would say the above scenario can be seen to come true easily on social media - platforms where people with similar mindsets, and ideologies yet with different cultural backgrounds can come up with crazy ideas to attack humanity. E.g. a person who kills himself/herself and many others in a crowded place in a city in the name of "Allah"

I completed my PhD last year and am currently not affiliated with or employed by a university. I continue to utilize my previous affiliation for manuscripts resulting from the projects I undertook during my PhD. However, I am involved in other collaborative projects. I am curious about the possibility of obtaining an honorary status from a university or research institute for the purpose of publication, allowing me to use their affiliation until I secure a post-doc or research position in a university or institution. Is this feasible?
Relevant answer
Answer
Securing an honorary affiliation for post-PhD publications is possible in some cases, but it ultimately depends on the policies and guidelines of the institution or organization you are seeking affiliation with. Here are some points to consider:
  1. Benefits of Honorary Affiliation: Honorary affiliation can provide credibility and recognition for your research work, especially if you are not currently affiliated with a formal institution. It can also help in building professional networks and collaborations.
  2. Considerations for Honorary Affiliation:Research Collaboration: Institutions may be more willing to provide honorary affiliation if you are collaborating on research projects with their faculty members or researchers. Publication Contribution: If your post-PhD publications are significant and contribute to the field, institutions may consider offering honorary affiliation. Professional Standing: Your professional standing, experience, and expertise in the field may also play a role in securing honorary affiliation.
  3. Approaching Institutions:Contacting the Institution: Reach out to the institution or department where you wish to seek honorary affiliation. Explain your research interests, publications, and how your work aligns with their research focus. Proposal: Provide a proposal outlining the benefits of honorary affiliation for both parties, such as potential collaborations, knowledge exchange, and research impact.
  4. Negotiating Terms:Publication Acknowledgment: Institutions may require acknowledgment of their affiliation in your publications. Duration: Clarify the duration of the honorary affiliation and any specific terms or conditions associated with it. Expectations: Understand the expectations from both parties regarding research involvement, contributions, and use of institutional resources.
  5. Alternative Options:Research Networks: Joining research networks, associations, or societies related to your field can also provide opportunities for collaboration and recognition. Collaborative Research Centers: Consider collaborating with research centers or institutes that offer opportunities for affiliated researchers.
It's important to approach institutions with a clear proposal and demonstrate the value of your research contributions. While securing honorary affiliation may not always be guaranteed, it is worth exploring as it can enhance your research profile and opportunities for collaboration.

The real University, he said, has no specific location. It owns no property, pays no salaries and receives no material dues. The real University is a state of mind. It is that great heritage of rational thought that has been brought down to us through the centuries and which does not exist at any specific location. It's a state of mind which is regenerated throughout the centuries by a body of people who traditionally carry the title of professor, but even that title is not part of the real University. The real University is nothing less than the continuing body of reason itself. In addition to this state of mind, 'reason,' there's a legal entity which is unfortunately called by the same name but which is quite another thing. This is a nonprofit corporation, a branch of the state with a specific address. It owns property, is capable of paying salaries, of receiving money and of responding to legislative pressures in the process. But this second university, the legal corporation, cannot teach, does not generate new knowledge or evaluate ideas. It is not the real University at all. It is just a church building, the setting, the location at which conditions have been made favorable for the real church to exist.

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear all, I'd like to contribute to the discussion here.
Anthony Rausch : I understand your concerns and fully concur with you on the necessity to frame language learning as primarily human-to-human interaction. However, I'm afraid AI is here and it is going nowhere. As such, I believe it is our duty to equip learners and those who might teach them with the skills to make the most of AI and other media. In Dutch, we have a nice word for that: mediawijsheid (you probably recognize the WISE in WIJS). You can translate it as "media literacy" and the term refers to the knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable people to take active part in a complexifying world where media (including AI) take center stage. For instance, it has become necessary to rethink writing assignments as most chatbots can produce high quality texts in a matter of seconds. It follows that the 5-paragraph essay is a pedagogical deadend, and teachers need to start thinking differently about how they approach writing tasks. I am a proponent of the process rather than product approach. AI-generated texts can be a good starting point to discuss fact-checking (as AI is known for making things up), post-editing (an AI-generated text usually requires thorough editing to make it more human-like), etc.

Taking into account the available technological solutions and applications offered by ICT service providers, as well as the growing scale of psychological problems of children using smartphones and online social media, the following question arises that is relevant today: How to effectively organize parental control of what a child does in the aforementioned social media?
Children and adolescents represent the youngest generations using online social media. The youth currently attending schools and studying in universities are mainly the so-called Generation Z, who grew up with smartphones equipped with Internet access, including online social media. Today, the children and young people of Generation Z are thus at the greatest risk of being negatively influenced by online social media, including various types of misinformation, fake news, misleading unreliable offers of advertised products and services, influencers and youtubers promoting themselves, etc., which are increasingly appearing in them. In addition, there are many untrustworthy offers of products and services in social media, offers presented by influencers and youtubers, offers presented as part of advertising campaigns conducted in these media, offers promoted through spots, animations and advertising videos, in which generative artificial intelligence technology is increasingly used. It is increasingly common for advertising companies to create AI-generated influencer avatars based on intelligent chatbots for their online advertising campaigns. AI-generated fictional influencer personas look, speak and behave like real people in videos posted on social media. Internet users watching these digital influencers often don't realize that they are watching not real people but digitally generated non-sisterly real characters. In addition, in recent years there has been a growing scale of hate speech most often generated by peers from class, school. The developing hejt was the reason for the increasing scale of child and adolescent suicides in some countries in recent years. In addition, many people, especially young girls, have psychological problems due to a sense of low self-worth and self-esteem which is related to spending a lot of time on online social media and watching influencers promoting certain sublime standards, what is in a certain subculture of youth recognized and promoted as informal canons of beauty, attitudes, possession of certain material goods, etc. In addition, such psychological problems were exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was associated with locdowns imposed in some countries on selected sectors of the economy, bans on being in certain types of public places, periodically introduced national quarantines and education conducted remotely in the form of e-learning. In some countries, the scale of such bans and restrictions, which were intended to slow down the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus, was exceptionally large. This was the case, for example, in the country where I operate. Unfortunately, the mortality rate of citizens during the Covid-19 pandemic in Poland, despite the large-scale introduction of the aforementioned anti-pandemic bans and restrictions, was exceptionally high. Besides, the mentioned anti-pandemic bans and restrictions were introduced without adequate public consultation, on the basis of special legal regulations in the form of laws and ordinances, with the bases of prior research and analysis of the potential negative effects of such controversial measures. At present, in 2024, it is known that in the country in which I operate the negative effects of the aforementioned introduced on a record large scale so-called anti-pandemic measures, including bans, lockdown-type restrictions, periods of national quarantine were much more in comparison with the expected but not realized positive effects. In view of the above, taking into account the available technological solutions and applications offered by ICT service providers, as well as the growing scale of psychological problems of children using smartphones and online social media, it is necessary to improve the computerized systems and applications running on smartphones that enable effectively conducted parental control of what a child does on the aforementioned social media. On the other hand, citizens should influence politicians, and politicians should influence the technology companies that run online social media, so that these companies also take much greater care of the safety of children and young people using these media. The aforementioned technology companies should not treat children and young people merely as potential customers for product and service offers presented during advertising campaigns conducted on social media. The technology companies running these media should not create algorithms that promote posts, posts, comments, banners, animations, videos, etc. that contain negative and socially harmful content. That this is how this kind of media works was proven during the Senate committee hearings of former managers who previously worked at Meta, for example, and developed certain solutions within Facebook and Instagram. TokTok has also grown rapidly in recent years, which also features many examples of disinformation, factoids, posts, memes, entries, banners, videos, etc., containing unreliable and factually incorrect content, as well as many advertisements presenting various product and service offers aimed mainly at children and young people.
I have described the key issues of the determinants of the development of social media with attention to the issue of cyber security and the technologies used Industry 4.0 in my article below:

Are people more likely to mix up words if they are fluent in more languages? How? Why?
Relevant answer
Answer
Certainly! A person who is eloquent in more than one language is more likely to code-switch and mix up words from different languages within her L1. Language users be it consciously or unconsciously, seek facilitating things for themselves. Reasons for this interference vary:
1/ Similarities in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary among languages systems like French, English, Spanish do play an important role in a multilingual society. The fact of knowing more than one language because of historical reasons, mixing up words become crucial when people communicate with others from different languages. A person who is fluent in French may easily mix up words when using English. The same thing happens to learners who mix up words from French when writing in or speaking English.
2/Language dominance: A bilingual speaker who uses the second language the whole day at work and with colleagues may not prevent herself from mixing up words when using her mother tongue at home.
3/ Prestige is another reason why people mix up words. For example, in Algeria people who uses French (a second language) words or sentences with Arabic is considered intellectual.
3/Actually languages interferences and code-witching occur even in the same language. For instance, a person who lives or works in an area which is far from home may be noticed since she uses different vocabulary and body language. The same thing happens to the same language user when words are mixed up using her own language at home.

How can we ensure that current STEM pedagogy will prepare children for their future in an ever changing technological world?
Does current 'teacher training' provide aspiring teachers with the adequate skills necessary for successful STEM pedagogy?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear friend Jarlath Canney
Hey there! I am here to tackle those burning questions with unbridled opinions.
Firstly, does current STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) pedagogy prepare learners for the future? Well, let me tell you Jarlath Canney, it's a mixed bag. Some aspects of STEM education are on point, but there's room for improvement. It needs a shake-up to better align with the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Now, ensuring that current STEM pedagogy prepares children for their future? It's about adaptability, my friend Jarlath Canney. We need a curriculum that fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Let's ditch the memorization-heavy approach and focus on hands-on, experiential learning. Kids need to be tech-savvy, but they also need to understand the human side of technology.
And what about 'teacher training'? Are we arming our educators with the skills needed for successful STEM pedagogy? Well, my opinion is that we're getting there, but it's a journey. Teachers need ongoing professional development, exposure to real-world STEM applications, and support networks. It's not just about knowing the subject matter; it's about instilling curiosity and a love for learning.
In a nutshell, we're on the right path, but there's always room to kick it up a notch. Let's create an educational landscape that nurtures the next generation of innovators, critical thinkers, and problem solvers. Now, let's dive into this discussion—what's your take on the matter?

Role of educational technology in enhancing SEL programs and providing resources for students and educators is still elaborated. Do share some needful researches for the same.
Relevant answer
Answer
Indeed: the role of educational technology in enhancing social and emotional learning (SEL) programs and providing resources for students and educators is still evolving. However, especially in the context of SEL, it seems decidedly important to me not to conceptualize educational technology in reductionist terms and not to rely on an instrumental and/or instructional conceptualization and programming.
Essential impulses could be taken from models and practices of cooperative or collaborative learning. In contrast to many traditional ideas of knowledge transfer and acquisition or teaching and learning, the goals of cooperative knowledge communication and sharing are creatively productive and oriented. Even if the group works together to achieve results, the activities ultimately serve the learning and knowledge of the individual. The jointly generated product is a means to the end of learning and knowledge.
A well-known concept of function orientation in groups is the TIP theory by Joseph E. McGrath. The abbreviation stands for 'Time', 'Interaction' and 'Performance'. The TIP theory states that group relationships or group members are integrated into social and organizational systems at the same time. According to McGrath's approach, group processes and dynamics only emerge against the common contextual background. Due to their location in a shared socio-organizational context, group members perform three functions simultaneously during a learning or work process.
These functions are:
- Production function: this refers to contributions to the organization in which the group members are involved
- Group Well-being function: means effects on the group as such by ensuring an intact and sustainable and worthy social structure
- Member support function: aims to strengthen the individual group members.
According to TIP theory, groups can be engaged in four different modes within the above functions or, more precisely, in performing them. These are: Inception, Technical or Operational Problem Solving, Psychosocial Conflict Resolution, and Execution.

Relevant answer
Answer
Developing and empirically testing a cybersecurity training framework is essential to ensuring the curriculum accomplishes its goals and addresses the skills gap. A methodical strategy to scientifically validating your cybersecurity training framework:
Effectiveness Verification Steps:
1. Establish Clear Learning Objectives: - Define the training program's learning objectives. Effectiveness will be measured against this.
2. Develop Assessment Tools: - Create pre- and post-training evaluations to evaluate knowledge and skills. Your assessments should match your learning objectives.
3. Implement Training: - Conduct training according to proposed curriculum. This could be workshops, online courses, hands-on sessions, etc.
4. Conduct Pre- and Post-Training Assessments: - Evaluate participant knowledge and skill improvement before and after training.
5. Collect input: - Collect participant input on training relevance, engagement, and applicability.
6. Statistical Analysis: Assess results using statistical approaches. Compare post-training results to pre-training scores for substantial gains.
7. Conduct a longitudinal study to evaluate the long-term influence of training on participants' performance in real-world circumstances.
8. Revise and Improve: - Adjust curriculum based on findings to address gaps or areas for improvement.
Scientific validation methods:
Controlled Experimental Design: Consider using a controls group (who don't receive training) and a treatment group (who do) for more rigorous scientific validation.
Quantitative and qualitative analysis: A complete study requires quantitative (test scores, performance indicators) and qualitative (participant feedback, interviews) data.
Links to More Reading:
1. "Designing and Developing Training Programmes: Pfeiffer Essential Guides to Training Basics" by Janis Fisher Chan discusses training programme design and evaluation.
2. "Evaluating Training Programmes: The Four Levels" by Donald L. and James D. Kirkpatrick is a popular methodology for evaluating training programmes.
3. "The Science of Training and Development in Organisations: What Matters in Practise" by Eduardo Salas, Scott Tannenbaum, Kurt Kraiger, and Kimberly A. Smith-Jentsch.**- This Psychological Science in the Public Interest study examines training effectiveness scientifically.
4. "Cybersecurity Education for Awareness and Compliance" by I. Arpaci et al. discusses cybersecurity education and compliance strategies.
You may boost the credibility and efficacy of your cybersecurity training framework by following these steps and using scientific validation methodologies. Remember to match training to real-world cybersecurity challenges and change the curriculum depending on feedback and performance metrics.

How should artificial intelligence technologies be implemented in education, so as not to deprive students of development and critical thinking in this way, so as to continue to develop critical thinking in students in the new realities of the technological revolution, to develop education with the support of modern technology?
The development of artificial intelligence, like any new technology, is associated with various applications of this technology in companies, enterprises operating in various sectors of the economy, and financial and public institutions. These applications generate an increase in the efficiency of the implementation of various processes, including an increase in human productivity. On the other hand, artificial intelligence technologies are also finding negative applications that generate certain risks such as the rise of disinformation in online social media. The increasing number of applications based on artificial intelligence technology available on the Internet are also being used as technical teaching aids in the education process implemented in schools and universities. On the other hand, these applications are also used by pupils and students, who use these tools as a means of facilitating homework, the development of credit papers, the completion of project work, various studies, and so on. Thus, on the one hand, the positive aspects of the applications of artificial intelligence technologies in education are recognized as well. However, on the other hand, serious risks are also recognized for students, for people who, increasingly using various applications based on artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence in facilitating the completion of certain various works, may cause a reduction in the scope of students' use of critical thinking. The potential dangers of depriving students of development and critical thinking are considered. The development of artificial intelligence technology is currently progressing rapidly. Various applications based on constantly improved generative artificial intelligence subjected to learning processes are being developed, machine learning solutions are being created, artificial intelligence is being subjected to processes of teaching the implementation of various activities that have been previously performed by humans. In deep learning processes, generative artificial intelligence equipped with artificial neural networks is taught to carry out complex, multifaceted processes and activities on the basis of large data sets collected in database systems and processed using Big Data Analytics technology. Since the processing of large data sets is carried out by current information systems equipped with computers of high computing power and with artificial intelligence technologies many times faster and more efficiently than the human mind, so already some research centers conducting research in this field are working on an attempt to create a highly advanced generative artificial intelligence, which will realize a kind of artificial thought processes, however, much faster and more efficiently than it happens in the human brain. However, even if someday artificial consciousness technology could be created that would imitate the functioning of human consciousness, humans should not be deprived of critical thinking. Above all, students in schools should not be deprived of artificial thinking in view of the growing scale of applications based on artificial intelligence in education. The aim should be that the artificial intelligence-based applications available on the Internet used in the education process should support the education process without depriving students of critical thinking. However, the question arises, how should this be done?
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How should artificial intelligence technologies be implemented in education, so as not to deprive students of development and critical thinking in this way, so as to continue to develop critical thinking in students in the new realities of the technological revolution, to develop education with the support of modern technology?
How should artificial intelligence technologies be implemented in education to continue to develop critical thinking in students?

Answer
While AI has the potential to enhance learning experiences, there is a concern that it may hinder the development of critical thinking skills in students. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully implement AI technologies in education to ensure they continue to foster critical thinking.
One way AI can be integrated into education without compromising critical thinking is by using it as a tool for personalized learning. AI algorithms can analyze students' strengths and weaknesses, tailoring educational content and activities accordingly. This approach encourages students to think critically about their own learning process and identify areas where they need improvement. By providing individualized guidance, AI technology promotes self-reflection and metacognition – key components of critical thinking.
Moreover, AI can facilitate collaborative learning experiences that promote critical thinking skills. Virtual classrooms equipped with AI-powered chatbots or virtual tutors can encourage students to engage in discussions and debates with their peers. These interactions require students to analyze different perspectives, evaluate evidence, and construct well-reasoned arguments – all essential elements of critical thinking.
Additionally, incorporating ethical considerations into the design of AI technologies used in education is crucial for fostering critical thinking skills. Students should be encouraged to question the biases embedded within these systems and critically evaluate the information provided by them. By promoting awareness of ethical issues surrounding AI technologies, educators can empower students to think critically about how these tools are shaping their educational experiences.
However, it is important not to rely solely on AI technologies for teaching core subjects such as mathematics or language arts. Critical thinking involves actively engaging with complex problems and developing analytical reasoning skills – tasks that cannot be fully replaced by machines. Teachers should continue playing a central role in guiding students' development of critical thinking abilities through open-ended discussions, challenging assignments, and hands-on activities.
In conclusion, implementing artificial intelligence technologies in education must be done thoughtfully so as not to hinder the development of critical thinking skills in students. By using AI as a tool for personalized learning, promoting collaborative experiences, incorporating ethical considerations, and maintaining the central role of teachers, we can harness the potential of AI while ensuring that critical thinking remains at the forefront of education.

How can artificial intelligence technologies be used effectively in universities so that the development of artificial intelligence technologies exemplified by ChatGPT does not pose a threat to universities but rather is an increase in the possibilities for the development of universities, the development of scientific research, including the improvement of the efficiency of conducted research, analytical, teaching, scientific processes using large amounts of multi-criteria data processed on computerised Big Data Analytics platforms?
The development of artificial intelligence applications today is almost limitless. Artificial intelligence technologies have been developed for many years, but it is in the last few years that this development has significantly accelerated. On the other hand, thanks to the artificial intelligence system made available on the Internet, which is the ChatGPT language model, the topic of artificial intelligence has, since the end of 2022, become one of the main topics of discussion in various fields of knowledge and in the context of different scientific disciplines, business applications, etc. ChatGPT has also become one of the most popular online platforms rapidly gaining new users at a rate comparable to the most popular and fastest growing social media sites. However, the currently developing applications of ChatGPT's intelligent language model have also started to generate negative effects and have overtaken the process of adapting systemic solutions and regulations to the situation. There has emerged a serious risk of the rapid development of disinformation in online social media, with images, videos and texts generated by various artificial intelligence solutions that present what can be described as 'fictitious facts', which present something that is difficult to distinguish from real facts, real events taking place and to diagnose who or rather what created them. There is a serious risk of non-compliance with copyright in the creation of certain types of 'works' created by artificial intelligence. This also raises the question of the ethics of the creation of new works, works in which a reliably realised creativity is or should be included. Newly created works, such as photographs, films, textual studies, literary works, paintings, graphics, sculptures, architectural designs, technical and other innovations, computer programmes, patents, etc., contain the element of new solutions, concepts, innovation, etc., which are the result of human creativity. However, in the context of thousands of years of evolution of human abilities and creativity, it is only relatively recently that man has begun to assist himself in the processes of creative creation of something new, innovative solutions, new concepts, artistic works, etc., assisted by advanced technology that does this in principle for man, but according to assumptions and rules that man determines. In recent years, the aforementioned processes of using artificial intelligence in the creation of a kind of "works" created with the application of more and more data and information and within the framework of processes that are becoming more and more automated have been taking place at an increasingly rapid pace. The development of the ChatGPT intelligent language model technology, which is available on the Internet, shows how dynamically the use of new technology is taking place in order to, as it were, cede creative work that requires multi-criteria processing of large amounts of data and in increasingly automated processes. Since, for example, ChatGPT-created texts often lack full descriptions of data sources, source publications, bibliographic descriptions and lack information on the extent of possible plagiarism, the scale of possibilities for copyright infringement is large. Therefore, in the context of thesis texts written by students, essays for course credit at university, the use of a tool such as ChatGPT for this purpose generates serious risks of unreliability of writing this type of work. Therefore, it is necessary to create a system of digital marking of various types of "works" created by various artificial intelligence solutions, i.e. in addition to texts created by artificial intelligence, also the creation of photographs, films, innovations, patents, computer software, new drugs, technical projects, artistic works, etc. Such a system of digital marking of various types of "works" created by various artificial intelligence solutions will be helpful in the matter of distinguishing the effects of human work from the increasingly highly substitutable effects of advanced data processing carried out by artificial intelligence. In addition to this, computerised anti-plagiarism platforms and programmes should be improved in such a way that they diagnose the borrowing of text fragments, sentences, paragraphs, phrases from other texts, publications, articles, books, etc., and unattributed sources of data, information, formulas, formulas, models, definitions of new concepts, new concepts, projects, innovative solutions, etc., unattributed bibliographies. Therefore, the currently developed artificial intelligence solutions, such as ChatGPT and similar solutions, should be improved both from the technical and procedural side, as well as from the formal and legal side, thanks to which the scale of improper use of such tools, generating negative effects, will be significantly reduced, including, among others, the scale of unreliable writing of texts of journal and other articles, theses, descriptions of conducted research, results of conducted analyses, etc. In this way, by significantly reducing the scale of negative effects of the developed artificial intelligence applications, the possibilities of practical application of artificial intelligence in the scope of improving the performance of research, analytical and development works, research and development works, as well as the results of conducted analyses, etc., will be limited. In this way, significantly reducing the scale of negative effects of developed applications of artificial intelligence, also developed in universities, the possibilities of practical applications of artificial intelligence in improving the implementation of research, analytical, research and development work, descriptions of results of conducted research will be able to be developed in the future. In this way, effectively, artificial intelligence technologies can be used in universities so that the development of artificial intelligence technologies, of which ChatGPT is an example, does not pose a threat to universities, but rather that it is an increase in opportunities for the development of universities, the development of scientific research, including the improvement of the efficiency of conducted research and analytical processes with the use of large amounts of data processed multi-criteria on computerised Big Data Analytics platforms.

I blend visuals like slides and videos to explain complex stuff and love throwing in interactive activities – like group discussions or hands-on experiments – to make concepts stick. Real-life examples are my go-to for showing how chemistry is everywhere, from the lab to daily life. Oh, and questions are like my favorite seasoning – I sprinkle them everywhere to keep discussions flowing.
Cheers,

We are assessing content for originality, as lecturers reading assignments or as reviewers or editors assessing papers. What are the tools you use to detect AI content, which is the new challenge on originality?
I recently found https://contentdetector.ai/ works decently with undergrad student frauds, yet I really am curious whether there are other tools or procedures you recommend.
Relevant answer
Answer
hai there, there are many AI detection tools out there to detect AI written text, but nothing beats the "best" AI detection tools in the world so called, and it's ORIGINALITY.AI, and it's so powerful nothing can leak. but, I have the expensive ORIGINALTY.AI and I have tested it. I cut and past the US Constitution that was written hundreds of years ago and it detected the possibility of 68% written by an AI, I pasted part of the holy Quran which is God's words for thousands of years and it gave about 33% AI written text. So, it depends on what your end game is. If your end game is to CATCH everyone and that satisfies you, then go for ORIGINALY.AI but you also have to live with your guilt when it detects HOLY scriptures and hundred years constitution were written by robots back then... so it is up to you.

While it is common practice in the health field to use validated descriptors available in thesauri or glossaries, in other fields it is apparent that researchers use the terms they feel are most appropriate. By ignoring accepted terminology, their work may fall off the radar of database searches. An example of this is the choice of keywords that are not associated with validated descriptors. As a direct consequence, literature reviews in some areas, particularly in the social sciences, may produce results with increasing levels of error. I believe that this issue should be the subject of further reflection and debate.
Relevant answer
Answer
Your observation raises an important point about the use of validated descriptors and terminology in research across different fields. While it is true that in the health field, using established descriptors from thesauri or glossaries is common practice, it may not be the case in other disciplines.
In some fields, researchers may choose to use their own terminology or terms they feel are most appropriate for their study. This can be due to various reasons such as the emergence of new concepts, evolving terminology, or the unique characteristics of a particular context being studied. However, as you rightly mentioned, there can be consequences for not using accepted terminology.
Importance of Validated Descriptors
Using validated descriptors has several advantages. Firstly, it enhances the findability of research. Validated descriptors are often linked to standardized vocabularies and indexing systems used in databases, making it easier for researchers to locate relevant studies in literature searches. This improves the chances of their work being discovered by other researchers and contributes to the overall visibility of their research within the academic community.
Secondly, using established terminology facilitates effective communication and understanding among researchers. When researchers adhere to a common terminology, it becomes easier to build upon existing knowledge, compare findings, and establish connections between different studies. This promotes collaboration and the advancement of knowledge in the field.
Individual Context and Flexibility
However, it is also important to acknowledge that research is a dynamic process that evolves with the changing needs of different disciplines. Some fields, such as the social sciences, may have more diverse and context-specific research topics that require flexibility in terminology selection. Researchers in these fields often draw from different theoretical frameworks and conceptual perspectives, which can lead to the use of non-standardized keywords and terms.
It is crucial to strike a balance between adhering to established terminology and allowing for flexibility in research. While embracing new terminology is valuable in advancing knowledge, it is also important for researchers to be mindful of the potential consequences, such as reduced discoverability of their work.
Reflection and Debate
The issue you raised regarding the potential impact of not using validated descriptors in literature reviews should indeed be a subject of further reflection and debate within the research community. There needs to be ongoing discussions about the trade-offs between using established terminology and the flexibility required in certain fields. Researchers, professional societies, and database creators can collaborate to find ways to bridge this gap and explore innovative solutions.
Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that research remains accessible, discoverable, and robust, while also accommodating the evolving nature of knowledge production across various disciplines.

Dear colleagues and friends,
On July 20, within the OECD Forum Series 2023, the debate "How AI Might Change Our Jobs & What We Can do About It" was organized, and which had the following topic:
”The 2023 edition of the OECD Employment Outlook has a special focus on the impact of AI on the labour market. Progress in AI has been such that, in some areas, its output has become indistinguishable from that of humans. These rapid developments, combined with the falling costs of producing and adopting these new technologies, suggest that OECD economies may be on the cusp of an AI revolution which could fundamentally change the workplace. While there are many potential benefits from AI, there are also significant risks that need to be urgently addressed. Policies and social dialogue can play a key role in mitigating these risks while not stifling the benefits. However, this requires better evidence, and the 2023 edition of the OECD Employment Outlook contributes to this goal. This session will discuss the following issues:
Job quality: AI can reduce tedious and dangerous tasks, but could also lead to more intense, higher paced work environments, with more intrusive processes of monitoring and managing workers.
Bias: impact on hiring & jobs for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Changing skills needs: what will be the role of employers, but also formal education to ensure that employees have the right skills?
Legislation: if & how existing legislation on discrimination, data protection and workers’ rights applies & what additional measures might be needed.
Social Dialogue: how to keep up with the speed of AI application & changes for workers” ( OECD, 2023)
Therefore, my question is addressed to the academic community, starting from this debate, as well as following the current global context of the penetration of AI in all fields of activity and especially in that of education and finance.

What, in your view, are the best ways to apply cognitive research to HE/university teaching? Bearing in mind the age of the students, and the fact that they are not novices. Are there certain things that lecturers, tutors, seminar leaders, supervisors etc should be doing more (or less)?
Relevant answer
Answer
Representations are the less explored area in Cognitive Science considering restoring and recalling the process. We remember much better when we know where to use the restored knowledge. Going one step further, 9or inner) we remember better if we understand the content of our restored information in memory. A second idea "is incubation". How much energy do we save for the process of incubation before resolving a problem? A third idea is an "insight" considering the process of learning a problem. And finally, cognitive/mental barriers, mental consolidation, and functional habits prevent new knowledge or the transformation of previous knowledge. All the above ideas are based on representations and how they are categorized or organized as verbal, pictorial, or abstract information.

The Berlin Model is an instructional design model that consists of four phases: analysis, design, development, and implementation. The ADDIE model is another instructional design model that consists of five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation.
Technology has impacted the factors of the instructional process by providing new tools and methods for teaching and learning. For example, technology has made it possible to deliver instruction online through e-learning platforms. Technology has also made it possible to create interactive learning experiences through simulations and games.
In addition to these benefits, technology has also made it possible to personalize instruction by providing adaptive learning experiences that are tailored to individual learners.

How have you been able to help these students in your classes? What tips do you have regarding them?
If you have been an ELL yourself, what has helped you and/or what do you wish would have been done instead with you?
Relevant answer
Answer
Please find some literacy strategies that may be useful for English Language Learners (ELLs) in non-ELA classes. Here are some tips and strategies:
Provide visuals to support language comprehension: Students who are not proficient in English may have difficulty understanding complex vocabulary and concepts. Providing visuals such as diagrams, charts, and graphs can help students understand the material better.
Pre-teach key vocabulary: Pre-teaching key vocabulary words before a lesson can help ELLs better understand new concepts. This can be done through word walls, flashcards, or pre-teaching activities.
Use graphic organizers: Graphic organizers, such as KWL charts or concept maps, can help ELLs organize their thoughts and understand new concepts visually.
Incorporate peer-to-peer learning opportunities: Pairing ELLs with native English speaking peers can provide students with opportunities to practice their language skills and learn from each other.
Encourage the use of bilingual resources: When available, bilingual materials, such as textbooks and dictionaries, can help ELLs bridge the gap between their first language and English.
Create a welcoming classroom environment: Creating a welcoming classroom environment can help ELLs feel more comfortable and confident in their language abilities. This can be done through positive reinforcement, cultural awareness, and support from the teacher.
Provide extra support: Providing ELLs with extra support, such as after-school tutoring or additional resources, can help them succeed in classes where they may struggle.
Overall, incorporating these strategies can help ELLs succeed in non-ELA classes and feel more confident in their language abilities. It is important to also be patient and understanding of ELLs as they navigate a new language and culture.

What child social development support programmes, child psychological support programmes are being developed in relation to the increasing scale of psychological problems in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic?
At the beginning of May 2023, the World Health Organisation lifted the state of global epidemiological emergency associated with Covid-19. In Poland, the state of heightened epidemiological emergency associated with Covid-19 is not due to be lifted until the end of June 2023. This is likely to increase the scale of ongoing research into the various secondary effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, both the post-pandemic, post-vaccine health effects, then also the social and economic effects, including, for example, on the issue of rising inflation from 2021 generated by the introduction of a large amount of additional money into the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was mainly intended to limit the scale of the increase in unemployment caused by the introduced lockdowns. In Poland, the PIS government is mainly responsible for the deterioration of children's mental state, which unreflectively and without applied research and public consultation introduced large-scale lockdowns imposed on selected sectors of the economy, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc. ... and even a ban on entering forests during part of the period of wave 1 of the pandemic.
From mid-2022 onwards, more and more comparative studies began to appear, which compared internationally the question of the correlation between the rate of development of the pandemic, the number of deaths categorised as caused by the severe Covid-19 disease state and the occurrence of co-morbidities, usually in more than 90 per cent of cases, and the so-called 'anti-pandemic safety instruments' introduced to varying degrees in individual countries. The results of the study did not confirm the findings of the study, which was based on the results of the research carried out by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The results of the research carried out did not support the thesis regarding the validity of the
of the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic as an instrument to significantly reduce the level of mortality caused solely by the severe Covid-19 condition, exclusively, i.e. by subtracting the factor of co-morbidities. In some countries, the generating factors of specific comorbidities were key influential determinants shaping mortality levels. For example, in Poland, where, due to the government's neglect and deliberate slowing down and blocking of the development of renewable energy sources in recent years, more than three quarters of energy is still produced by the technologically backward dirty power industry based on burning hard coal and lignite, which generates the worst air quality in cities during heating periods compared to Europe and the world. This poor air quality, determined by high levels of particulate matter (PM 2.5, PM 10, etc.), is the source of premature deaths, estimated at around 50 000 people, i.e. deaths caused by respiratory and other diseases resulting from high levels of air pollution. Such diseases are examples of diseases coexisting with Covid-19, which were compounding factors in the level of mortality qualified as caused by these diseases in combination with Covid-19 during the pandemic. In the government-led pandemic risk management process, different structures were adopted to prioritise safety on the one hand for health and on the other hand also for socio-economic safety. Different solutions were adopted in the countries in terms of the applied anti-pandemic safety and anti-crisis instruments with regard to the economy. Consequently, the effects of these measures were also not the same. The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) and the applied anti-pandemic instruments also varied significantly between the various different industries and sectors of the economy.
These systemic anti-pandemic measures mainly benefited the technology sectors, companies operating on the Internet, businesses developing e-commerce, courier companies, state-owned companies receiving additional government contracts for the production of anti-pandemic assortments, e.g. hand disinfectant fluids, production of protective masks, etc. On the other hand, there were many more companies and enterprises, mainly operating in the service sectors, which were subject to lockdowns and suffered severe financial losses, some going out of business because of them, which in macroeconomic terms generated a deep recession of the economy during the 1st wave of the pandemic. However, as it later turned out, there were many more problems caused by such anti-pandemic socio-economic policies. Among these various secondary effects of the negative and particularly socially significant problems generated by the misguided antipandemic socio-economic policy, one stands out the increasing scale of psychological problems in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., and have been exacerbated by the controversial pseudo-reforms applied to the education system over the past few years. In Poland, this problem is very serious. This is confirmed, inter alia, by the data on the growing scale of child suicides in the period from 2020 to 2022. Lockdowns, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., introduced and applied on a large scale during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic in Poland, have caused disorders in the social development of children and adolescents. In view of this, it is essential to create and develop programmes to support the social development of children, programmes of psychological assistance for children, which should prevent the growing scale of psychological problems in children.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the Honourable Community of scientists and researchers:
What programmes of support for children's social development, programmes of psychological assistance for children are being developed in connection with the increasing scale of problems of a psychological nature in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc.?
What child development support programmes, child welfare programmes are being developed in relation to the increasing scale of mental health problems in children?

Do academic hiring committees consider book reviews?
I enjoy doing book reviews because I get free books, small publications, and it allows me to stay up to date on recent scholarship in my field. While I do not put all my publishing eggs in the book review basket, I generally always have at least one book review in progress on the backburner.
However, is it worth it for me as a PhD candidate to do book reviews if I want to apply for assistant professor positions? Are book reviews worthless in hiring decisions, even if they are in reputable journals in my fields of interest? One of my book reviews was peer-reviewed, does that make a difference? If I keep reviewing academic books, will it benefit my academic career?
I have heard mixed perspectives from academics. Some encourage students to publish book reviews since it's better than no publications at all and is perhaps a stepping stone to larger publications down the road, and others have said to just focus on publishing a few articles in top-tier journals.

Can ChatGPT be used in educational processes in schools and universities, but in such a way that this is ethical and compatible with the principles of respect for copyright and the educational and other goals of the educational system institutions?
The development of artificial intelligence, including considering one of the many manifestations of its applications made available on the Internet such as ChatGPT, is both interpreted as a developmental opportunity and also as threats and new risks in the context of education more broadly. Already, data are emerging confirming that ChatGPT can help pass university examinations within specific courses and written examination formulas. ChatGPT writes creative essays for pupils and students, helps with book writing to generate summaries of various studies and a wide variety of texts. Consequently, ChatGPT is a major challenge in the education system. A particularly important issue is the possibility of using this tool for the automated process of generating the texts of theses with which students will pass their subjects as part of their course of study, and for generating the texts of theses 'written' by students as part of their final theses. A particularly key issue is the possible ignoring of the issue of reliable demonstration of source publications in credit and degree theses. This is because the ChatGPT also does not provide a complete list of all sources, including scientific publications, journal articles, books, etc., from which it has used, from which it has taken a certain amount of content, from which it has been inspired, from which it has taken data, etc. In addition, a particularly important challenge for education at the level of studies is the issue of the currently limited possibilities of verification by anti-plagiarism programmes of the aforementioned issue of verification of reliable use of sources, other publications and source materials by a student while writing his/her diploma thesis, including his/her bachelor's, master's, doctoral or habilitation thesis. It is therefore necessary to improve computerised platforms and anti-plagiarism programmes so that they are capable of verifying the reliability of a student's writing of a specific thesis. Within the scope of the examined reliability mentioned above, the issues of proper use of publications and source materials, proper use, i.e. without the use of plagiarism and with full indication of texts, publications and source materials in footnotes, are important. In this connection it is also necessary to appropriately update the procedures for verification of diploma theses by supervisors, i.e. research and teaching staff supervising the process of writing a diploma thesis by a student. The said appropriate updating of procedures should in particular take into account the issue of ethics of conducting research and writing the diploma thesis by the student, but also ethics in the context of the process of supervising by scientific and didactic employees the issue of writing the diploma thesis by the student. In this connection it is also necessary to carry out an appropriate update of normative provisions, including both the legal regulations functioning at the national level and also in the scope of internal, functioning in individual universities and schools regulatory normative provisions, regulations defining principles and standards of reliable writing of credit and diploma theses by students and the process of control and supervision of the issue of writing the diploma thesis by scientific and didactic employees.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Can ChatGPT be used in educational processes in schools and universities, but in such a way that this is ethical and compatible with the principles of respect for copyright and the educational and other goals of the educational system institutions?

What, in your opinion, are the negative effects of the low level of economic knowledge of society and what can the low level of economic knowledge of a significant part of citizens in society lead to?
A recent survey shows that only 60 per cent of the public in Poland knows what inflation is, including the awareness that a drop in inflation from a high level means that prices are still rising but more slowly. In Poland, in February 2023, the government-controlled Central Statistical Office showed consumer inflation at 18.4 per cent. Since March, disinflation has been realised. In April 2023, shown by the Central Statistical Office, consumer inflation stood at 14.7 per cent. the most optimistic forecasts of the central bank cooperating informally with the government, i.e. the National Bank of Poland, suggest that Poland's falling inflation may only fall to single-digit levels in December. After deducting international factors, i.e. the prices of energy raw materials, energy and foodstuffs, core inflation, i.e. that determined by internal factors in Poland, still stands at around 12 per cent. The drop in inflation since March has been largely determined by a reduction in the high, until recently excessively high margins and prices of motor fuels by the government-controlled, monopolistically operating, state-owned gas and fuel concern, which holds over 90 per cent of domestic production and sales of motor fuels. These reductions are the result of criticism in the independent media that this government-controlled concern is acting anti-socially, making excessive profits by maintaining increased margins and not reducing the price of motor fuels until early 2023, despite the fact that the prices of energy raw materials, including oil and natural gas, have already fallen to pre-war levels in Ukraine. Citizens can only find out from the government-independent media what is really happening in the economy. Consequently, in the government-controlled meanstream media, including, among others, the government-controlled so-called public television, other media, including independent media, are constantly criticised and informationally harassed. But back to the issue of economic knowledge of the public. Taking into account the media in Poland, it is the media independent from the PIS government that play an important role in increasing economic awareness and knowledge, including objective presentation of events in the economy, objective and consistent with the fundamentals of economics explanation of how economic processes work. The aforementioned research shows that as many as 40 per cent of citizens in Poland still do not know what inflation is, do not fully understand what the successive decrease in inflation consists in. Some of these 40 per cent of the public assume that a fall in inflation, even from a high level, i.e. the disinflation currently taking place, means that the prices of purchased products and services are supposedly falling. The level of economic knowledge is therefore still low and various dishonest economic actors and institutions take advantage of this. The low level of economic knowledge among the public has often been exploited by para-financial companies, which, in their advertising campaigns and in the presentation of their image as banks, have created financial pyramids that have taken money from the public for unreliable deposits. Many citizens lost their life savings in this way. In Poland, this was the case when the authorities overseeing the financial system inadequately informed citizens about the high risk of losing the money they deposited with such para-banking companies and pseudo-investment companies as Kasa Grobelnego and AmberGold. In addition, the low level of economic knowledge in society also makes it easier for unreliable political options to find support among a significant proportion of citizens in society for populist pseudo-economic policy programmes and, on that basis, also to win parliamentary elections, and to conduct economic policy in a way that leads to financial or economic crises after a few years. It is therefore necessary to develop a system of economic education from primary school onwards, but also in the so-called Universities of the Third Age, which are mainly used by senior citizens. This is important because it is seniors who are most exposed to unreliable, misleading publicity campaigns run by money laundering companies. Thanks to the low level of economic knowledge, the government in Poland, through the medium of the controlled meanstream media, persuades a significant part of the population to support a real anti-social, anti-environmental, anti-climatic, financially unsustainable pseudo economic policy, which leads to high indebtedness of the state financial system, to the continuation of financial and economic crises.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What, in your opinion, are the negative consequences of the low level of economic knowledge of society and what can the low level of economic knowledge of a significant part of citizens in society lead to?

Hello, I am currently working on a research in teaching English as a Foreign Language. It focuses on the effect of deductive and inductive approach in enhancing pragmatic competence, namely using polite requests in English. I would like to use pre-test and post-test design. However, I struggle with finding sources to figure out how long there should be between conducting a pre-test and a post-test when the content of the intervention is "just" polite requesting.
Thank you for any answers and have a nice day!
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Colleague,
This is a good question!
Since the test is about teaching English as a Foreign Language with the content of the intervention is "just" polite requesting. Attention should be attached to the following two aspects:
(1) Test items type: Is it a test of multiple choice questions or short answer questions? If it is an objective test of 20 or 30 multiple choice questions, the interval may be longer, say, two weeks or so. If it is a test of short answer questions or an essay question, the interval may be shortened to one week;
(2) Test effect
If test effect is put into consideration, the time interval btw pre- and post-test should be no more than 3 days. The reason is simple: during those three days, the general proficiency of the students, statistically, will not have significant changes.

What should regulations for the ethical and good practice use of ChatGPT-type technology in the context of the use of this technology in schools, colleges and universities contain?
One technology company in late 2022 launched in open access the possibility to use ChatGPT technology which is a kind of next-generation artificial intelligence enabling automated text generation based on a database of publications, texts, information, data, etc. taken from multiple websites in 2021. Arguably, other leading technology companies that operate primarily on and through the Internet are creating, developing similar technological solutions based on a specific generation of artificial intelligence and preparing for their implementation in specific applications. New applications for such Internet-accessible technological solutions based on a specific generation and successively improved artificial intelligence are emerging and will also continue to emerge in the years to come. The very availability of such technological solutions in open access on the Internet is a revolution of sorts, in fact it is the beginning of a new revolution in terms of the online information services offered to citizens and improved through the implementation of artificial intelligence. Accordingly, heated discussions are currently developing on the issue of compliant ethics and good practice in the use of ChatGPT-type technology in the context of the use of this technology in schools, colleges and universities. It is imperative that clearly defined ethics and good practices for the use of this technology in institutions of the education system, including schools, colleges and universities, be added to the rules and regulations of schools, colleges and universities.

Dear Prof. Prokopowicz!
You raised a very important issue. May I argue, this process is a case - and context-dependent one. There has to be a critical mass of universities, colleges, and schools in a country before user experience can be investigated. This knowledge has to be evaluated in the context of the institutional setting of that country. Open science - practices and the FAIR - principle should be at the front. At a certain stage, an international policy committee (including research teams) could collect the experiences from different countries (institutions) and propose a way to mitigate the existing and emerging ethical problems:

What role do schools, colleges, universities, research institutions and other institutions in the education, research and science sector play in the green economy transformation process?
The green transformation of the economy has finally begun. The aim of realising the green transformation of the economy, i.e. to carry out a pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the classic growth, brown, linear economy of excess to a sustainable, green, zero-carbon zero-growth and closed-loop economy, is to protect the planet's climate, biosphere and biodiversity from a global climate catastrophe, which may already occur at the end of this 21st century. The key issue of the green economy transition is to achieve a zero-carbon economy as soon as possible in order to slow down the accelerating process of global warming. The green transformation of the economy consists of such major transformation segments as the green transformation of the energy sector, including the development of renewable and zero-emission energy sources, the development of electromobility, green sustainable energy-efficient construction, the development of sustainable agriculture with green crops, the improvement of waste separation techniques and the increase in recycling development, the creation and implementation of new green technologies and eco-innovations in various sectors and industries, etc. However, this transformation is progressing too slowly. Research institutions, research institutes, universities, schools and other institutions in the education, research and science sector can play an important role in the aforementioned green transformation of the economy and in speeding it up as necessary.

In most of the land grant universities in the United States, landscape architecture began in the Colleges of Agriculture. Landscape design and planning dates back to 19th century, when courses incorporating principles of ornamental planting and the art of laying out gardens and pleasure grounds were offered in different horticulture programs.
Nowadays the profile of the most faculties/colleges that offer landscape architecture degree is related with two fields; agriculture and architecture. In Europe there is almost equilibrium between these two fields, while in USA there is a clear supremacy of architectural schools. Does it mean that there is a trend to move from faculties/colleges of agriculture to architecture?
According to a recent definition of IFLA “Landscape Architects plan, design and manage natural, rural, and built environments, applying aesthetic and scientific principles to address the sustainability, quality and health of landscapes, collective memory, heritage and culture, and territorial justice. By leading and coordinating other disciplines, landscape architects deal with the interactions between natural and cultural ecosystems, such as adaptation and mitigation related to climate change and the stability of ecosystems, socioeconomic improvements, and community health and welfare to create places that anticipate social and economic well-being”
Does the increased interest on the sustainability, quality and health of landscapes, interactions between natural and cultural ecosystems, climate change and the stability of ecosystems make agriculture faculties/colleges a better option for landscape architecture education?
Relevant answer
Answer
Landscape architecture is a multidisciplinary discipline. Therefore there are many subjects to cover during the studies, in social sciences and humanities, in the sciences and in the arts. This has all to be studied, independent from the question whether the discipline is attached to a planning faculty, an agricultural one or a science one.
Where landscape architecture was and is positioned happened and happens by chance, depending from where the founders saw an opening or what their personal preferences were.
In the first years students should learn about all the different ways to work as a landscape architect. Be it in creating public or private green spaces or in large scale landscape planning or promoting and protecting biodiversity you need knowledge in all three areas, only with different depths.
Three years is not enough to learn all that is necessary for a successful career, therefore further education in a master study is recommended (and also often a condition to become a member of the chamber of architects in Germany). But also in every profession there is a process of lifelong learning.
Of course the discipline has developed very much during the about a hundred years of university education. The knowledge of urban ecology has advanced quite a lot, also the knowledge of the requirements of citizens.
While as in former times good landscape architects knew things by intuition (these are the parks etc. we still admire) this is not enough in our complicated societies where you have to convince and supply for many people with different requirements. It is not enough to convince only a king and his adviser.
Also we have changed the natural environment so much that we have to really know about it to make the necessary repairs.
So the more landscape architects as a discipline know the better. Of course no individual can be proficient in all the necessary subjects but they should know what is required and be able to build (and lead) a team which can deal with all the problems in a given project.
Landscape architects are not gardeners. That is a profession in its own right, with an educational process of its own.
Many professions which are nowadays study programmes at universities
started as a craft. Take medical doctors: I think nobody would want them to work at the base of knowledge they had in medieval times or even in the 19th century.

Thus, the remembrance expressed about a "biographical event" is also a signification of episodic memory. Can we state that contextual models evidence the meaning of memory in discourse?
Relevant answer
Answer
episodic memory associations can be encoded and retrieved in a context-sensitive way; thus it can be evidenced.

Lockdowns due to the COVID pandemic in last three years (2020-22) has played a significant role in the widespread of online based classrooms using applications like Zoom, MS teams, Webex and Google Meet. While substantial amount of the students were happy to complete their semester classes in due time without getting hampered by the lockdowns, thanks to the online based classrooms, there are also notable amount of students and parents who were complained regarding the online based classrooms that they have drastically distracted the academic performance of students.
Overall, I would like to leave it as an open-ended question. Dear researchers, what you think regarding the online based classroom? Is it an advantage for students or a disadvantage?
Relevant answer
Answer
Online-based classrooms are necessary for circumstances where the learners and teachers feel that the knowledge can be catered to without meeting in person. It is an opportunity for learners to learn at their doorsteps. Nonetheless, online classes are not as effective as offline classes for many learners who take education as a social process where peer learning, group dynamics, and interpersonal relationship are of high importance. Online class doesn't provide the experience of personal interaction while learning.

Answer
Violence towards children never lead to good results
Adults who suffered violence in childhood usually abuse others around them
Talking and explaining and discussing a bad behavior and explaining serious consequences would be much better understood and internalized much more than an aggressive approach.
Also violence infront of other poeple will definitely be modelled by the abused child with peer groups or as an adult.

Hello everyone,
Recently, the Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions published one of our studies.
In this study, we investigated how certain physician characteristics influence Covid treatment approaches.
Their preferences were determined by a number of factors, including the gender of the physicians and the differences in specializations.
We have discovered that all physicians, regardless of specialty, will require additional pandemic education throughout their academic and professional careers. For instance, we discovered that female physicians were more comply with the guidelines.
What are your thoughts regarding this?
I am fascinated about your insightful ideas and remarks.
Thank you.

Our scape is currently overwhelmed with physical structures that act as obstructive forces towards humanity-oriented progress. The globalised format of our cities has dominated its roots on other aspects of architecture, including education. Hence, in some schools, architectural education follows this emerging imagery of the market, and not the other way around. This has led to a critical phenomenon of poor development of architectural pedagogy, i.e. lack of individual and collective creativity.
Do you think that architectural schools should shift its methodology towards not building anymore? Should they focus more on creating open spaces and flexible structures?

The type of University would hardly matter if your Ph.D. topic is unique and work is free from any synonym of copy and you have followed the standard norms like publishing min three papers in Scopus Indexed journals and patenting your work etc. Ultimately the doctorate person will be judged not on his face vale but on the basis of his knowledge and work.

Although this is not a new theme, the phenomena of "memory manipulation" and "politics of memory" always seem current to us. Even though they are different terms, they are close from a semantic point of view. Memory policies resort to manipulating memory using conditioning actions that, in some aspects, recall Skinner's reinforcement schemes. Authoritarian and totalitarian regimes have adopted this strategy in the iconography of classrooms and the contents of school textbooks. Thus, we can point to the school as a space where the propaganda of non-democratic political regimes intensified their politics of memory? Can the same phenomenon also be observed in democratic regimes?

I'm very curious about which courses did or did not stop insect collection for education purposes. And if so, what alternative methods are used now to teach taxonomy, biodiversity monitoring or insect morphology?
Because of the increasing moral concern about collecting and killing insects for the sole purpose of educating insect identification or monitoring techniques, exploration of alternatives are needed. This can be challenging.
If still traditional methods are used (i.e. collecting, killing, preserving insects) for teaching, is there a discussion about ethical arguments?
Relevant answer
Answer
It depends on students' major, but ... How about concentrating on agricultural pests, those which will be controlled by pesticides anyway? They must cover enough diversity of insects for education purpose.

What are your thoughts on the growing popularity of online degrees, such as online MBA and online DBA? Do you think there is an increasing trend of online degrees? Is it a good or bad idea to take an online degree program? Please explain.
Relevant answer
Answer
From my point of view, e-learning alone ( i.e. distance learning) will not succeed without traditional face-to-face learning. Because e-learning hasn't achieved the desired aims or results, traditional learning is better. At least, the hybrid learning (i.e. blended learning) of both of them is better than the traditional one. This is especially true for the developing countries.
To diminish cheating, exams must be inside the scientific institutes like universities.

Memory policies promote places, monuments and even objects as memorial records of a past that should be remembered and celebrated as registers of a culture and identity. Through activities framed in pedagogies of memory, schools insert in their didactic activities the visit to places of memory. But is the pedagogy of memory dependent on memory policies established in educational policies or encouraged by national educational strategies? Can we say that memory policies pave the way to the establishment of memory pedagogy in school activities?
Relevant answer
Answer
Schools operate in highly-regulated, often non-marketized, environments that are rigidly defined by and measured through external inspection, including examination-based student learning improvement performance targets. Schools are required to meet government, local authority, and other performance measures. In the Foucauldian sense, therefore, it ought not surprise that the pedagogy of memory should be driven via school activities by memory policies that are rooted in national educational strategies.

When I search for articles and understandings around decolonizing education, I find a lot of resources related to decolonizing the curriculum in general terms, decolonizing specific areas within higher education (e.g. history, art, politics, etc.). I find articles on understanding the theories and possible practices and praxes around what decolonization can look like.
However, what I do not seem to be able to find is this: how do we undertake decolonization of the teaching of education?
More specifically, reading lists and course content on introductory education courses, such as those on Year 1 education courses at university-level courses within the UK context, often start with content that reaches back to Ancient Greece, Aristotle and so on before jumping ahead to John Dewey and others. In this sense, the curriculum of education is overtly Eurocentric and white in nature.
Is there literature that addresses this particular area? I have read literature by Anibal Quijano, Maria Lugones, Lewis Gordon, Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Ramon Grosfoguel and many others... yet I'm still left wondering about this question. How do we undertake a decolonization of the very basis of education itself especially for prospective teacher-educators, those who study master's and doctorates of education who will likely be (re)introduced to Aristotle's philosophy of education (among others) that will not contextualize his role historically?

For starters, let's call social justice what it really is: activism. Activism should never be the goal of a university. Now, that is not to say that activism has no place in the academic community, but it should never be the goal of a university.
The primary reason social justice should not be the goal of a university is because it is motivated by ideology, not understanding. The moment an educational institution shifts it's focus from truth to ideology, we've effectively transitioned from education to indoctrination.
