Education is a process that endures in the lives of human beings from cradle to grave. However, conventional educational methods do not provide enough real- life experiences. Therefore, the significance of the educational approach of the famous American pedagogue John Dewey is increasing. A vocational school is a type of school that provides practical education rather than theory. In this context, the purpose of this chapter is to raise social awareness among students by allowing them to participate in social life. Students employed this project under the umbrella of improving their feelings of moral and cultural values. The study is qualitative, longitudinal, and comparatively validates students’ attitudes towards their vocational education. Data analysis was collected through observation, student interviews, and the researcher’s diary. The findings of the study indicated that students applied what they found out about their profession by rehearsing their future professional lives outside the classroom walls in an attempt to shed some light on their learning process. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

ChatGPT has emerged as a topic of considerable discourse within management education in recent weeks, owing to its profound transformative potential in reshaping the paradigms of assessment methodology and evaluation. Unlike conventional educational technologies, which typically leave discernible traces of usage, ChatGPT boasts an unparalleled capacity for evading detection during its application. This characteristic engenders a multifaceted quandary for educators in the field of management education, who aspire to harness this technology to remain pertinent in the evolving educational landscape while preserving the principles of authentic and meaningful learning experiences. Management educators' expeditious formulation and implementation of policies integrating ChatGPT and its succeeding iterations of generative artificial intelligence has become an imperative task. The accessibility and cost- effectiveness inherent to these technologies further accentuate the urgency of such policy development. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.

The rapid and profound permeation of generative AI technology into all aspects of modern society also changes the landscape of higher education and thus leads to a compelling call to harness the power of AI for transforming higher education. One of the most significant areas of opportunity offered by generative AI is in the assessment of learning. The goal of assessment is to foster learning especially essential for success beyond the classroom, and this can only be possible with well-designed assessments that have the potential for determining whether students have learned the content. By harnessing generative AI, assessments can be designed that have the potential to support inquiry-based learning and foster creativity, all essential for the development of a deeper conceptual understanding of content. Educational Assessments in the Age of Generative AI contributes to the effort to bring generative AI to the forefront of assessing students’ learning by exploring how the use of generative AI tools and applications can transform and revolutionize assessment practices. Furthermore, it is devoted to exploring the use of AI in assessments to measure knowledge, skills and students’ abilities in order to prepare them for careers in the 21st century. Covering topic including academic integrity, higher education, and mathematics education, this book is an excellent resource for educators, higher education administrators, policymakers, information technology support professionals, tests and assessment developers, researchers, scholars, academicians, professionals, and more. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

The field of education for sustainable development advocates for new teaching methods that offer hands-on, engaging, and transformative learning experiences that encourage critical and systemic thinking within the framework of sustainable development. Higher education institutions strive to support the attainment of SDG 4 by promoting inclusive, fair, and high-quality education. Service-learning in higher education is in tune with the educational principles of critical and transformative pedagogy and facilitated through implementation of innovative pedagogical approaches in training professionals that will be socially critical and committed to social transformation, with the goal of achieving a larger social justice. Consequently, one of the major challenges attributed to the lack of social practice and community service in the learning environment leads to the detachment of students to the community, as well as the low social responsibility among the undergraduates. The study aimed to fill the research gap in the literature on the impact of service-learning pedagogies among students based on knowledge, attitude, and spirit and how it is correlated with professional development, personal development, social transactions. Furthermore, this study highlights how civic engagement and sustainable community development, the integral components of service-learning, contribute to and align with the principles of sustainable tourism. By connecting these elements, the research emphasizes the multifaceted benefits of service-learning in shaping socially responsible professionals and fostering sustainable tourism. © 2024 Felismonte et al.

The global higher education landscape is fast evolving, demanding that universities equip students with critical knowledge and 21st-century skills. Daystar University (DU) 's switch from teacher-centered models to Problem-Based learning (PBL) reflects this shift. PBL stresses critical thinking and real-world problem-solving, essential for today’s interconnected world. The chapter examined the challenges and advancements of PBL implementation at DU using qualitative methods involving interviews with 30 selected informants and document analysis. Findings show that while PBL has been integrated across various programs, challenges like resistance to change, insufficient faculty training, and resource limitations persist. However, significant progress has been made, including adopting technology-enhanced tools, increased faculty collaboration, and a growing culture of innovation among students. The study recommends targeted faculty development, improved infrastructure, and stronger support systems to enhance PBL’s effectiveness in fostering more profound learning experiences. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
