Objective: The major contributions of human factors to education are highlighted. Background: Over the past 50 years, the education of human factors specialists has evolved, as well as the application of human factors and ergonomic knowledge to education. Method: Human factors and ergonomics professional documentation and literature were reviewed to identify major events relevant to human factors education or the application of human factors to education. Results: Human factors education has evolved from training in experimental psychology to highly specialized accredited human factors programs and a number of undergraduate programs, leading to program accreditation and the certification of professionals. In addition, human factors specialists have applied their knowledge to human factors education and, more recently, to educational systems in general. The greatest focus has been on technology such as multimedia. Others have evaluated the design of the physical environment, focusing primarily on seating. The research also often targets undergraduate or graduate education. Therefore, it has been proposed that a greater focus is needed at the K—12 educational level, especially given the advancement and implementation of technology in the classroom. Conclusion: Human factors and ergonomic expertise can benefit the educational system. Yet, there is a need to constantly evaluate the benefits of new technology in the classroom as well as the environmental design aspects of the educational environment while considering learners of different age groups, ethnicities, and sexes. Application: Better application of human factors and ergonomics to the learning environment could enhance the educational experience for all learners.

Throughout his career as an art teacher, Josef Albers made clear his vision of a methodology of education that put the arts at its core, with the aim of teaching people to see and to understand the world through its visual and material aspects. He believed that experimentation and direct experience with reality would ultimately generate real knowledge and that it was only in this way that a conscious understanding of the world was possible: a requirement for the development of free and democratic people. This paper will analysehow Albers intertwined the ideas of art, education and democracy, and the how he understood these relations within his contemporary world. ; A lo largo de su carrera como profesor de arte, Josef Albers plasmó su visión sobre una metodología de la educación que ponía las artes en el centro de la misma, con el objetivo de enseñar a entender el mundo a través de sus aspectos visuales y materiales. Albers creía que la experimentación y la experiencia directa con la realidad eran la forma de generar un conocimiento real y que este era el único modo posible de acceder a un entendimiento consciente del mundo, un requisito indispensable para desarrollar personas libres y democráticas. Este artículo analiza cómo Albers conectó las ideas de arte, educación y democracia, y cómo él entendía estas relaciones en el contexto del mundo contemporáneo.

The catastrophic consequences on the civilization of covid-19 pandemic are obvious on all human endeavours, including information services of academic libraries.

The study concluded that awareness and education services for user-populace of academic libraries can be used for effective information management concerning covid-19 virus in Nigeria.

While many studies examine the effect of primary education quality on labor market outcomes in developing countries, little is known about the effects at higher levels. We exploit the quasi-experiment provided by a large-scale education reform launched in Senegal in 2000 to investigate how quality improvements at the university level affect employment. Our difference-in-difference estimates suggest that young high-skilled workers experienced a nine percentage-point employment gain relative to older workers. They are also more likely to have "better" jobs (in the service industry or government), suggesting a reduction in the mismatch between the quality of high-skilled labor demanded and supplied.

This dissertation examines the phenomenon of multiculturalism and investigates how religious pluralism can help to bring about a greater understanding of the problems on the island of Ireland. It is argued that religious differences constitute an essential element in the traditional quarrel between Gaelic Irish, Scotch Irish and Anglo-Irish. The research is concerned with the issue of religion and its impacts on other cultural and political issues within the society. If a vital ingredient of this ancient quarrel is religion, then the notions of church schooling, integrated education and ecumenical dialogue between the churches, require particular examination and assumes primary significance during the course of the study. ; TARA (Trinity's Access to Research Archive) has a robust takedown policy.

Equity-focused accountability has the potential to refocus our higher education system on its most important purpose: successful outcomes for all groups of students. Congress must build upon current policy to create an accountability system that pushes institutions to serve students especially low-income students and students of color well.
