AI is rapidly entering classrooms worldwide, but current education governance models are not designed to manage its systemic impact. A new study argues that AI should be understood not merely as a teaching tool, but as a governance actor that reshapes authority, accountability, and professional autonomy in education systems. The article proposes a reconfigured hybrid governance framework to help education systems harness AI’s benefits while protecting democratic values, learner autonomy, and professional judgment.
The School Digital Renewal Process (SDRP) has evolved from infrastructure-focused adoption to deep pedagogical transformation centered on personalized, competence-based learning. Traditional indicators—such as device availability or connectivity—lose relevance at advanced SDRP stages. This article proposes a novel, evidence-based approach to constructing indicators that capture shifts in learning content and organization through automated analysis of schools’ digital footprints (publicly available digital materials) using AI tools. Drawing on Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy and empirical data from international schools, we demonstrate the feasibility of tracking second-order educational change without relying on teacher surveys. The framework supports comparative monitoring of digital transformation aligned with the demands of the AI era. The article introduces a groundbreaking innovation: the use of AI tools for gathering and analyzing indicators from publicly available digital sources in education institutions. This approach offers a scalable and cost-efficient way to track and evaluate SDRP at later stages of its development.
Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial microorganisms that colonize plant root zones. They promote plant growth and enhance resistance to abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity by producing hormones, solubilizing nutrients, and other mechanisms.
Plant immune inducers are crucial tools for the green management of crop diseases. As an environmentally friendly biological inducer, oligochitosan (COS) can activate plant defense mechanisms to resist pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses.
Against the backdrop of continuous global population growth and changes in dietary structures, aquaculture has emerged as one of the fastest-growing food production sectors. However, as its scale expands, concerns about its environmental impacts, particularly greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, have grown. Have you ever wondered how much GHG is emitted during the production of the fish, shrimp, and shellfish on your plate? Where do these emissions come from, and how can they be reduced?
Professor Apala Majumdar, Professor of Applied Mathematics at The University of Manchester, has been elected a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales (LSW).
Seoul, South Korea — Researchers at Seoul National University have developed a new class of ultralight structural materials that combine the load-bearing strength of engineering materials with the weight of foam. Using a method called 3D node winding, the team created mesoscale carbon fiber lattices that achieve aluminum-level performance on a strength-to-weight basis while weighing as little as 1/100 the weight of aluminum. The findings, published in Nature Communications, demonstrate a new way to build strong, lightweight structures without the need for joints or layered assembly.
