Title: Clinical legal education in India through disruptive technology: the changing contours
Abstract:
Clinical legal education (CLE) has always been an integral part of legal education in India, and this study provides a quantitative assessment of the existing clinical legal education programs. The global spread of the idea is also accelerating. The paper also argues that CLE should bridge academic research and actual legal practice. India has made many attempts to establish a high-quality CLE system. However, this was all in vain, as the authorities failed to plan. The important period of meeting CLE and integrating technology into legal education is the focus of this study. As CLE concepts gain academic support, questions about legal education concepts and the form CLE should take have become increasingly important. More debate revolves around technology's place in the classrooms of aspiring lawyers. Nonetheless, the resulting logical concerns are not trivial. Technology may simply be seen as a tool to complement more traditional forms of legal guidance. This study aims to find out how CLE has changed in India and what new initiatives and practises are being used in this field.

Title: Enhancing speaking fluency in English through the use of open educational resources among secondary school students in Kazakhstan
Abstract:
This study examines Kazakhstani intermediate students' perspectives on using self-developed open educational resources (OER) to enhance their speaking skills in English as a foreign language (EFL). The survey analysis also aims to reveal whether there are differences based on participants' gender. Using a purposive sampling technique, data was collected through Google forms from 302 students. The practical outcome has displayed that the self-developed OER, including an electronic textbook and a YouTube channel, has been warmly accepted by most participants. Due to OERs' real-life context, simpler language, and entertaining features based on the essential elements of the language, participants' fluency and confidence in speaking English enhanced, and its persistent use enabled students to become more independent learners in EFL, taking on the responsibility for their learning. Moreover, EFL learners' motivation to learn the language has significantly increased due to the proposed OER entertaining content identified as the most appealing feature among EFL students.

Title: Artificial intelligence: a support system in inclusive education
Abstract:
Education develops and moulds humans into resourceful human capital. The use of artificial intelligence in education can fix some of the field's most pressing problems to speed up the achievement of SDG 4. Alongside benefits are several issues that have thus far outrun policy discussions, regulatory structures, and implementation. UNESCO is dedicated to helping member states use artificial intelligence to advance the Education 2030 Agenda and uphold universally accepted standards of fairness and inclusiveness. Over the last few years, artificial intelligence tools have been devised, modified, and used accordingly to bring new approaches to education. The disabled community, who were the most neglected, is now educated in an inclusive setup, though divergent, an innovative pattern. This article delves into the application of artificial intelligence in inclusive education, how inclusive education can be shaped in the future through assistive artificial intelligence techniques, and by assessing its legal personality in today's world.

Title: What shapes online mode of teaching impact on hospitality students' academic achievement? An empirical assessment during COVID-19
Abstract:
The COVID-19 has posed a challenge on hospitality education; nevertheless, the online mode of teaching came as the survival tool and it has provided an ideal platform for the continuance of educational services. As student engagement was the key aspect to be tackled by the online tool, specifically focussed on the impact of student-to-student, student-to-teacher, and student-to-content interaction on the student engagement. Further, the study has explored the dynamics between student engagement, student satisfaction, and student achievement during the COVID-19 situation. Six hypotheses were postulated based on the earlier studies on the antecedents of academic achievement of the students and they were tested empirically through the data collected (n = 207 through extrapolation) in higher educational institutions. Student-teacher interaction, student engagement, student satisfaction and student achievement are having significant positive association. The practical implications would help the education providers to fine-tune the online mode of teaching to deal with future eventualities.

Title: Developing agricultural literacy through USR and blockchain
Abstract:
This study proposed a concept of university social responsibility (USR) to develop agriculture literacy by involving students in actual procedure of agricultural production and sales. Through this study, students, teachers, and farmers' associations were connected in a course. Blockchain technology was used for a complete and accurate record. This study was held at National Chung Hsing University Taiwan during the first semester of the 2019 academic year. Questionnaires were given to students to analyse their agricultural literacy. Descriptive analysis showed that the mean of students' agricultural cognition, agricultural attitude, and agricultural behaviour were 3.3737, 3.7495, and 3.3912, respectively. The semantic analysis showed that students understood that they had cooperation and knowledge exchange with farmers' association by the blockchain technology. It was concluded that the students tended to have a better agricultural attitude after participating in the course and this USR concept had a subtle effect on developing students' agricultural literacy.

Title: Demystifying design thinking: insights from a systematic literature review
Abstract:
'Design thinking' (DT) becomes a recognised terminology in management nowadays. The concept of DT is predominantly framed as an approach to innovation and creative problem-solving methods on designers' processes and practices. It is considered that DT can comprehend customer needs, can shape a firm's value creation processes, and contribute to the formalisation of the design task. Considering the importance of DT in a current business and social scenario, the objective of this research is to review past performance and the intellectual structure of DT. To do so, this study has done a comprehensive and systematic review of 124 A* and A category ABDC indexed articles from 2007 Scopus indexed articles based on the PRISMA framework. A systematic literature review reveals the performance, themes, and sub-themes in the intellectual structure and identifies five different future research directions with 20 different theories, which have contributed to DT research.

Title: Virtual learning styles based on learning style detection
Abstract:
Online learning spaces are virtual learning environments that have evolved alongside breakthroughs in information technology and the continual growth of educational ideals. Physical classes are always difficult for any instructor, and online classes have added to the burden by requiring teachers to consider the ethics, values, and viewpoints of students towards online learning. While distance learning has been viewed as useful for learners who cannot afford physical learning owing to a variety of causes, it has progressed in such a way that student viewpoints have reached a point where ethics are not considered. This paper attempts to find out the learning styles of students in the context of online classrooms and the data are collected using a questionnaire. The study was done with 322 students who belong to first year engineering stream and their perspectives based on their answers are analysed. The central tenet of behaviourism is that all actions are acquired through interactions with the environment. According to this learning theory, environmental circumstances have a much greater impact on behaviour than innate or inherited traits.

Title: Legal study on the role and importance of technology in education for children with disabilities
Abstract:
Education at all levels is becoming more dependent on technology. To provide universal access to technology, educational institutions must make sure that the employed technology is available to all people, including those with disabilities also. Technology offers a lot of untapped promise for supporting inclusive education. Universal learning design coupled with technology-supported learning has much potential, but the gap lies in accessibility and lack of resources. This paper examines inclusive education technology use, access, and need. The Information Technology Act of 2000 legalises electronic communication and commerce. Education for children with special needs (CWSN) is dealt with under the Right of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016. Coalescing these enactments is a boon to the education system as it helps target CWSN who are diverse. The study is purely doctrinal and refers to the Indian context. Indian education lacks technical and legal infrastructure, according to research. Technology will change special education. New technology and instructional methods improve special education.

Title: Comparative analysis of the impact of urban music on students of state, private and parochial educational institutions
Abstract:
Urban music has become a cultural phenomenon of a worldwide scale that invades social spaces and can determine the lifestyle of many teenagers. Likewise, music plays a very important role in the academic formation of students. The present study aims to determine urban music's influence on students' behaviour in their final year of secondary education at 'state, parochial, and private' institutions. To this end, exploratory research was conducted to identify behavioural patterns and their influence on their learning achievement. Moreover, a quantitative methodology was utilised through the literature review method to establish a foundation in previous works and enable the creation and implementation of instruments based on these indexed articles. The preliminary results obtained from applying the questionnaire and interview to students in their final year of secondary education demonstrate that socio-economic status, the ethnic origin of students, and the social spaces where these adolescents frequent all influence the choice of preferred musical genre and shape their social behaviour.

Title: Why do people disclose themselves on social networking sites? Evidence from Vietnamese Facebook users
Abstract:
Based on the theory of personal needs, this study aimed to understand how individual self-presentation and interpersonal needs formed by social networking sites (SNSs) influence self-disclosure to friends. Besides, the study would like to examine whether there are differences in personal self-disclosure due to personality traits. Specifically, the research model used two personality traits (extraversion and narcissism) as moderators. Furthermore, we conducted a questionnaire survey with 532 Facebook users. All the hypotheses are tested using SPSS and Smart PLS. The findings showed that: 1) self-presentation, expressed inclusion, wanted affection, and express affection positively influence self-disclosure; 2) wanted inclusion negatively influences self-disclosure; 3) personality traits with high and low extroversion and narcissism also have different effects on users' self-disclosure. Finally, the study provides SNS operators with information to improve user interaction quality and enrich social networking sites' content.

Title: Inspiring future entrepreneurs: an investigation into the green entrepreneurial behaviours of students
Abstract:
Many higher education institutions worldwide have implemented courses focusing on entrepreneurship for students. However, green entrepreneurship and green entrepreneurial behaviours are the crucial aspects often overlooked. This research endeavours to examine the determinants influencing students' green entrepreneurial behaviours. A survey was distributed to students at a Vietnamese university, who had completed courses related to entrepreneurship. A research framework is proposed to explore the factors shaping green entrepreneurial behaviours among undergraduates. After analysing, the factors that positively and significantly influence students' green entrepreneurial behaviours are investigated, and future research directions are also proposed based on the findings. The findings of this research contribute to the literature reviews concerned with green entrepreneurial behaviours by proposing a research framework. Additionally, the practitioners and scholars could apply the results of this study to make the decisions or do further research on green entrepreneurial development in higher education.

Title: COVID-19 and the new situation in higher education
Abstract:
The appearance of the coronavirus disease 2019 has had effects on different levels. Many people were forced to confine themselves to their homes and the suspension of classroom teaching involved the transformation of higher education. Professors had to adapt to the new situation, make use of certain virtual teaching tools, resort to certain remote assessment systems and carry out their teaching work together with their family and domestic responsibilities, which were enhanced by the pandemic. However, the use of new technologies was not homogeneous for different social groups because certain sectors of the population did not have the appropriate tools (information technology and techniques), in addition to the fact that they did not have suitable housing or residential spaces. This scenario has provided an opportunity to reduce inequalities with respect to digital skills.

Title: Financial stability towards instructional behaviour and work fulfilment of teachers in the Philippines
Abstract:
In the Philippines, a significant problem has been the lack of financial security for educators. It is common knowledge that having a secure financial situation is an essential component of successful work behaviour and attitudes, both of which can lead to feeling fulfilled in one's work. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not there is a correlation between teachers' stable financial situations and their levels of work fulfilment and instructional behaviour. The data and findings were obtained by sending out questionnaires in the form of a survey to a total of 100 elementary school teachers working in public schools in the Philippines. According to the results of the study, teachers, on the whole, have favourable financial stability, positive instructional behaviour, and a sense of professional fulfilment in their employment. In the meantime, research has shown that the instructional practices of teachers are linked to their financial security. It was also found that the instructional behaviour of teachers is what determines how much they feel like they have accomplished with their work.

Title: Project-based learning to enrich the impact of machine learning algorithms for medical data analysis in engineering education
Abstract:
Many higher education institutions (HEI) are implementing project-based learning (PBL) as innovative pedagogy in their curriculum for effective teaching learning. PBL engages students with various phases such as identifying a problem statement, providing a solution to that problem, designing or implementation of that solution with best accuracy. This paper presents the effective methodology for teaching learning process in higher education using PBL to study the impact of machine learning (ML) algorithms for the analysis of medical data for diseases classification. The methodology is supported by hands on workshop conducted for a final year engineering students with feedback and impact analysis, followed by project implementation for five case studies on medical data. To assess the impact of PBL, report submission on these case studies was carried out with rubrics and assessment tools.

Title: Understanding the effect of system characteristics on e-learning adoption and usage during the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract:
E-learning in higher education and the professional workforce has surged in recent years. However, the influence of system characteristics on adoption factors of e-learning systems has not been extensively studied. This study aims to understand how system characteristics affect user expectancies and e-learning system adoption factors. The study employed the 'unified theory of acceptance and use of technology' (UTAUT2) and included five system characteristic variables to expand the model. The results demonstrated that the characteristics of e-learning systems influenced users' expectancies and highlighted the most crucial system characteristics. It was also exhibited that user expectancies, hedonic motivation, and habit affected users' intention to use e-learning platforms. Findings provide directions for educational institutes and organisations to improve the design and use intention of e-learning systems.

Title: Investigating green transformational leadership behaviour through digital information literacy (meta-analysis approach)
Abstract:
With the growing concerns of environmental issues, researchers and academician tries to introduce the concept of green transformational leadership in various organisations setup. Still the concept of green transformational leadership (GTRFL) is in nascent stage and need to be defined in its true spectrum from various perspective. The current study investigated in detail about the use of GTRFL in various organisation setups since its emergence (2013). For this purpose, meta-analysis approach was applied to investigate the highest cited article, university of affiliation and the use of GTRFL in Higher education. Results depict that only one study (Odugbesan et al., 2022) investigate GTRFL in HEI sector while the highest citation for (Singh et al., 2020) are more than 1,129. Based on the findings it is concluded that the importance of GTRFL is totally neglected in HEI sector, while most of the graduate students that may join corporate sector need to be well informed about the active role in shaping and promoting green organisation culture.

Title: Effectiveness of hospitality education curriculum: a systematic and critical review of literature
Abstract:
The Indian hospitality and tourism sector has grown tremendously in recent years. The curriculum evaluation process plays a major role not only in keeping the system up to date but also in directing the students toward their goals. The curriculum development process must be structured in a way that students can easily pursue their desired field of study without any barriers (Hussain et al., 2011). The pandemic has badly affected the education system across the globe as such traditional face-to-face learning was temporarily terminated by governments across the globe. The paradigm shift from offline to online education disrupted the education system (Chandler et al., 2020). This article reviewed the literature of 71 articles on hospitality and tourism employability skills, academic delivery, hospitality curriculum and paradigm shift in hospitality education. The paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of hospitality education curricula through a systematic and critical literature review.

Title: The impact of organisational learning capability on organisational innovation in the Jordanian pharmaceutical firms the mediating role of job satisfaction
Abstract:
This study examines the effect of organisational learning capability on organisational innovation through the mediating role of job satisfaction in the pharmaceutical firms operating in Jordan. Data were collected from 14 pharmaceutical firms through a survey among employees, supervisors, and managers. 361 valid questionnaires were returned and analysed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and the analysis of moment structure (AMOS). The findings revealed that organisational learning capability has a significant influence on job satisfaction and organisational innovation, namely, experimentation, interaction with the external environment, and risk have a significant effect on organisational innovation, whereas dialogue had no contribution. Job satisfaction has a positive contribution to organisational innovation. Furthermore, job satisfaction exerted a partially mediating role in the relationship between organisational learning capabilities on organisational innovation. This study demonstrates that being a learning organisation while also improving employee job satisfaction will facilitate organisational innovation.

Title: Potential influence of performance management on knowledge management in the light of organisational learning - an empirical study in Indian software industry
Abstract:
Almost all kinds of industries accepted and adopted organisational learning to improve the performance of individual employees, groups of employees (teams) and the organisation as a whole. Knowledge acquired through observation, learning and experience can contribute to gain skills required to perform a given job or task. Knowledge management can optimise the collection, retrieval and application of useful knowledge. Organisational learning represents learning at three levels - individual, group and organisation. It is composed of several components like collaboration and team learning and performance management. This paper is intended to examine the organisational learning happening and the knowledge management procedures being adopted and their relationship in software firms in India. The research used a questionnaire adopted from DLOQ and KM tool and collected data from the employees working at different levels in various software companies, especially in South India. The results derived from structural equation modelling, suggest that performance management, followed by collaboration and team learning, contributes well to knowledge management, by ruling out the contribution of other components of organisation learning.

Title: Technopedagogy in teacher education: exploring challenges and possibilities
Abstract:
Digital technologies allowed teachers to overcome spatial and temporal limitations in education, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic-imposed restrictions. While access to technological resources proved beneficial, teachers faced initial challenges. It is crucial to address the significance of digital education training in teacher education institutions, particularly in implementing the Integrated Teacher Education Programme based on the National Education Policy 2020 in India. This study explores approaches to techno-pedagogical skills in teacher education in Kerala, India, and the potential solutions to bridge the digital gap between training and teaching in the classroom. The researchers have used qualitative methods to gather and analyse data, including archival research and interviews with teacher educators and student teachers in the Bachelor of Education Programme. The findings indicate an urgent need for infrastructural upgrades and continuous professional development practices.

Title: Development and validation of Urdu reading screening test for the children at risk of dyslexia
Abstract:
This study focused on the development of Urdu reading test (URT) for screening out at risk dyslexic children and it consisted of two phases. In phase one, psychometric properties were established on a sample of 268 primary school (grade 2 to grade 5) students. Content validity ratio was calculated. After item analysis, 45 items were retained. Structural validity was established through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and four factors were generated which were later confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Internal consistency of the test for all four grades varied from good to excellent. In phase two, grade wise norms were developed on a sample of 304 students. The URT can be considered as an appropriate tool for screening of at risk dyslexic children thus it will play a significant role in devising the instructional strategies, educational plans and policies for them.

Title: The chained evolution of science and technology in the pharmaceutical industry
Abstract:
In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe physical and economic damage. How did we humans overcome these various crises and raise our economic and welfare standards? Technological advances such as the development of drugs have played a major role in these processes, but scientific advances such as clarifying the components of such drugs and the mechanisms of the human body have also had a major influence. This paper focuses on the pharmaceutical industry, which has experienced rapid growth in recent years and plays an important role in combating COVID-19. The characteristics of this paper are to endogenise the progress of science, which has made important contributions to economic development, to elucidate the chained evolution in which science and technology influence each other, and to clarify the evolution of the technological paradigm not only after its emergence but also until it emerges. In addition to understanding such evolution hierarchically and systematically, we also examine the organisational and theoretic characteristics of the emergence of technological paradigms.

Title: The business orientation, knowledge creation, and performance: the mediating role of product innovation capability in sport companies
Abstract:
Leveraging product innovation capability (PIC) provides companies with a competitive edge in the marketplace. In addition, attention to business orientation (BO) and knowledge creation (KC) plays a critical role in organisational development. This study explores a conceptual model in which BO and KC act as antecedents of PIC, and subsequently evaluates the impact of PIC on the performance of sport companies. A 20-item questionnaire was administered to a sample of 58 sport companies operating in Iran. The findings reveal that both business orientation and knowledge creation significantly contribute to product innovation. Furthermore, BO, KC, and PIC were found to have a notable influence on the overall performance of sport companies. Given the growing intensity of competition within the sports industry, prioritising business orientation, fostering knowledge creation, and enhancing innovation capabilities are crucial strategic concerns for sport company managers. As existing research on these interrelated factors remains limited, the present study offers valuable insights for scholars and practitioners aiming to improve performance outcomes in the sports sector.
