“…Modern learning becomes fragmented, more focused and cheaper, not losing the quality using online platforms (Condruz Bacescu, 2018). Online Learning may maximize university resources and increase university reach and accessibility without decreasing the quality of education; focus on participants' perception (Ramirez II et al, 2021). According to previous findings on providing similar courses, several pieces of advice were introduced.…”

The aim of the study was to explore social measurements and COVID-19 -related behavioral choices from a network structure perspective. We tested network models by comparing network structures in 46 countries by cultural dimensions (Hofstede et al., 2010). The pre-registered hypothesis was that the network structure of variables predicting COVID-19-related behavioral choices will be robust across countries, regardless of the mean differences of these variables between countries characterized by high vs low culture dimension indices. Behavioural choices toward COVID-19 situation were: physical hygiene, policy support, and physical contact. In network analysis we used several social/psychological constructs: social belonging, trait optimism, collective narcissism, moral identity, self-esteem, national identification, trait self-control, morality as cooperation, conspiracy beliefs, political ideology, and narcissism. We analysed twelve conditions based on dichotomized culture dimensions (high vs. low Power distance, Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty avoidance, Long-term orientation, and Indulgence) across demographics (e.g., age, gender). We conducted network structure analysis using high-dimensional undirected graph estimation with glasso procedure splitting the data by culture dimensions in total with N = 40 795 individuals. The study findings indicated that the network models were fairly consistent across cultures with different scores on each of Hofstede's six cultural dimensions. This similarity reflects the previous studies in terms of the stability of associations between variables regardless of sex, age, and political beliefs.

“…This technique has been used in introductory soil science classes with results reported in the soil education literature (Long et al, 2016;Ramirez et al, 2021). Student response to the flipped soil science classroom has typically been positive (Long et al, 2016;Ramirez et al, 2021) with measures of learning performance similar to traditional classes (Ramirez et al, 2021). Jelinski et al (2019) reported that ∼4% of classroom hours in introductory soil science classes taught in the United States were delivered using flipped classroom techniques.…”

Soil knowledge is essential to address modern global challenges. Soil science education began with soil survey and agricultural activities, with a focus on the traditional subdisciplines of soil chemistry, soil physics, pedology, soil mineralogy, and soil biology. Soil education has evolved to address the needs of an increasing variety of fields and increasingly complex issues, as seen through the move to teach soil content in programs such as biological and ecological sciences, environmental science, and geosciences. A wide range of approaches have been used to teach soil topics in the modern classroom, including not only traditional lecture and laboratory techniques but also soil judging, online tools, computer graphics, animations, and game‐based learning, mobile apps, industry partners, open‐access materials, and flipped classrooms. The modern soil curriculum needs to acknowledge the multifunctionality of soils and provide a suite of conduits that connect its traditional subdisciplines with other cognate areas. One way to accomplish this may be to shift from the traditional subdiscipline‐based approach to soil science education to a soil functions approach. Strategies to engage the public include incorporating soil topics into primary and secondary school curricula, engaging the public through museums and citizen science projects, and explaining the significance of soil to humanity. Soil education has many challenges and opportunities in the years ahead.

“…e result shows that the challenges of using educational content are the nonavailability of materials, lack of motivation of the educators, lack of skill and strategies, nancial constraints, lack of appropriate materials in the textbook, time constraints, lack of support from power, and lack of geographical learning materials. Student performance may be improved by using online learning and a split classroom, which can maximize university resources and people [2]. In the study, students who had greater starting levels of individual moral disengagement or who were in classes with higher initial levels of collective moral disengagement reported more o ine and online in the split classroom [3].…”

E ective classrooms(EC) encourage students to participate in conversations, investigations, and experiments that help them learn and grow. Even in small groups, students are responsible for much of their learning. Split classrooms are ones where pupils from two or more grade levels are placed in the same classroom. Values taught in the classroom may aid students in distinguishing between right and wrong, in uencing their attitudes and behaviours as adults. Some of the problems are students' lack of cooperation, empathy, and support for one another, insu cient nancing for classroom resources and equipment, and students' unable to keep up with education because teachers are held more responsible than they should be to increase meaningful academic learning and facilitate social and emotional growth. Video editing programs provide a more satisfying sensory experience than just reading from printed information. Deep learning (DL) allows pupils to think critically and successfully collaborate with others in all academic areas. Deep learning is a strategy and attitude to learning using complex mental talents such as the ability to analyze, create, solve issues, and think the state of play to build long-term comprehension. Using this method, EC-DL decent employment is becoming more cognitively demanding, and advanced skills are essential for students to cope with this reality. Due to this programmer, students become interested, autonomous learners, and active citizens in a democratic society. Classrooms were successful because they incorporated exploratory learning through guided inquiry-based activities, which increased students' curiosity and encouraged them to develop higher-order thinking skills. In-class learning activities must be purposefully designed. According to one study, classes positively in uenced student learning and success.
