Abstract
This research, in which we used Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) applied to the field of Educational Sciences, was developed within the scope of the project of PhD in Education. We submit the question - what relations can be identified between opinion articles concerning Education published in two broadsheet newspapers and the values and aspirations defended by the new middle class?
A quantitative methodology was used, and the directors of the newspapers studied were interviewed, as well as parents and teachers. CDA was used on the 20 opinion articles chosen as corpus of this study.
It is our belief that it is essential to understand the intentions and the consequences of opinion articles related to the school.

In Germany, a much-cited concept in recent years has been that of lokale Bildungslandschaften [local educational landscapes]. In this article, we focus on socio-spatial educational landscapes in the arrangement of a campus, which links the actors of education and urban planning to a specific leitbild, meaning a guiding principle in physical form and programmatic action. Therefore, an educational space designated as a campus includes constitutive dimensions of educational practices and a spatial reorganization of educational conditions, which are still to be discovered and investigated. We center our analysis on the perspective of children and young people as the main target group of this leitbild, as well as the perspective of the professional actors. In the following article, we give a brief overview of the characteristics of socio-spatial educational landscapes. We focus on the appropriation and atmospheres of access points and transitions, as well as patterns of use and spatial perception. After analyzing the ongoing development processes of socio-spatial educational landscapes as a campus, we adopt an internationally comparative perspective to research them.

Qualitative research is a type of scientific research which includes document analysis, observation or interview. Qualitative research process describes the events in the natural environment realistically and holistically. Although quantitative research methods are mostly used in educational sciences, qualitative research methods are also used by the educational science researchers. An Introduction to Qualitative Research by Uwe Flick (2014) is an ideal guide for educational science researchers in regard to qualitative research methods and techniques.

The purpose of this article is to conduct a descriptive-interpretative analysis of the systematized and emerging theoretical assumptions in academic literature in initial teacher training, which show hints of a model based on professional performance as an alternative in contexts of social and cultural diversity. The article is based on an intercultural educational approach which has an indigenous perspective. This raises the urgency of rethinking teacher training processes in relation to indigenous and intercultural contexts based on appraisal and respect for indigenous children and young people's episteme, who hold cultural, ethnic, and linguistic differences. This article discusses the main limitations of the competency-based training model in educating teachers who take on inclusion and diversity of indigenous individuals as part of their professional performance. This research is qualitative and is grounded on content analysis of literature selected from internationally renowned databases. The literature review was organized around three areas of professional education: teaching, research, and practice. Results taken from this search were interpreted from the perspective of the educational model of the universities of the Araucanía region, Chile. An intercultural context that is characterized by a high enrollment of students from indigenous and rural communities. Results show associations among conceptual, attitudinal, procedural, and relational contents in professional training areas that might be subject of reconceptualization, this is, to enlarge the scope in the initial teacher training model by including intercultural professional performance in the context of social and cultural diversity. These areas fall into three categories: (a) development of intercultural critical thinking, (b) autonomous search of intercultural knowledge, and (c) intercultural communication, which are interpreted as useful for professional performance and are highly recommended in literature for their inclusion in educational sciences curricula.

'Die' Diskursanalyse hat sich in den letzten 20 Jahren fest in der Erziehungs- respektive den Sozialwissenschaften, insbesondere im Kontext der qualitativen Sozialforschung etabliert. Die von Beginn an diskutierten Interpretationen des vor allem auf Arbeiten Michel Foucaults rekurrierenden Verfahrens finden sich bis heute und bewegen sich weiterhin zwischen Methodisierungsambitionen und einer ablehnenden Haltung gegenüber diesen. Einerseits zeichnet sich im Sinne einer Entwicklung eine massive Rezeption und Kombination verschiedenster sozialwissenschaftlicher Methoden (und Theorien) ab, andererseits ist die Situation von hochgradiger Kontinuität der Positionen geprägt. Der inzwischen genutzte Begriff der Diskursforschung ist Ausdruck dieser Heterogenisierung. Methodologisch zeigt sich ein Konsens weiterhin primär im Dissens, der jedoch erfolgreich 'gemanagt' wird.

Inklusion wie Intersektionalität sind Konzepte, die sich in der Erziehungswissenschaft großer Beliebtheit erfreuen, ermöglichen sie es doch, den Blick auf komplexe soziale Phänomene zu richten. Folgt man dem Vorschlag von einem 'weiten', sozialwissenschaftlich informierten Verständnis von Inklusion, dann bietet es sich auf den ersten Blick an, die Gemeinsamkeiten beider Konzepte in den Blick zu nehmen. Beide Konzepte interessieren sich für das Zusammenspiel von sozialen Differenzkategorien mit Blick auf soziale Ungleichheit. Beide betonen den sozialen Konstruktionscharakter von Differenz. Gleichwohl scheinen einige eigentümliche Anschlussprobleme zu existieren, die den Gegenstand des Beitrags bilden.

"There is a link between learning theories and online education in the sense that the use of certain e-Tools available in educational platforms could be biased by the epistemological beliefs of the teachers. The complexity of the educational message, in relation to the biased e-Tools selection for the learning task, together with the information processing that derives from the learning activity contributes to the intrinsic cognitive load. In order to optimize this cognitive load that can reach a high and an undesirable level for learning, this article aims to bridge online learning with the main theories of learning and cognitive load theory. The triangulation of these data, based on several sources from the specialized literature, provides an extended picture of the dominant cognitive processes determined by the tools used in the online learning space. This article could represent a source for the theoretical foundation of an online learning instructional design and for placing the online education closer to methodology, rather than technology. Keywords: online learning, instructional design, cognitive load, information processing, learning theories"

The study aimed to identify the degree of possession of critical thinking skills among the students of the Department of Educational Sciences at Ajloun University College in Jordan and its relationship with gender variable. The descriptive method was used. The study sample consisted of 280 students representing all disciplines and levels of study. The results of the study showed that the degree of possession of critical thinking skills among the sample of the study was below the educational level, and the results of the study To study the existence of differences in the level of critical thinking skills according to gender and in favor of males.
