Arduino as an Educational Tool for Exploring Medical Signals
Bianca-Alexandra Zîrnă; Denis Mihailovschi12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchThese days, gadgets of various kinds are an essential aspect of everyone's life. All these smart devices, whether they are watches, phones, rings, or wristbands, are built on basic sensors that allow us to continuously monitor our body temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, or sleep quality. There are numerous accessible, simple alternatives to these sensors, such as Arduino-compatible modules, which, configured properly, can build effective continuous monitoring systems. Students in the Faculty of Medical Engineering learn the fundamentals of medical electronics, which they can use in the class projects, bachelor's thesis, or at work. Since signal processing is the foundation of most applications and devices for monitoring vital parameters, this study proposes including a medical signal acquisition laboratory in the Arduino classes. In the theoretical section, students interactively discover medical signals, and then, in the practical section, they acquire, visualize, and measure them. To ensure the accuracy of the obtained signals, an advanced medical signal acquisition system, Biopac, is also used, and the outcomes are compared both visually and numerically. -

Directions and Emerging Trends in Teacher-Led Research on the Development of Communication Competences in Early Childhood and Primary Education
Oana Stoican12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchFor teachers in pre-university education, the teaching career includes professional development stages marked by teaching degrees: second degree and first degree. The first degree certifies the practice of teaching at an advanced level, on a consistent basis, including teaching based on the exchange of good practices, reflection, and creativity, as well as showing interest in certain aspects of school practice which, through authentic and detailed understanding, can be improved. Thus, educational and psychological research provides the framework for the scientific investigation of educational phenomena. This study highlights the topics of interest addressed by primary and preschool teachers in the methodological-scientific papers prepared for obtaining the first degree, with a focus on the formation and development of communication competences in children and pupils. In the early cycles of education (preschool and primary), the development of communication competences represents a major goal of the educational process, in accordance with the National Curriculum. Oral and written expression skills, active listening, dialogue, the use of nonverbal language, and the development of digital communication are key benchmarks for the harmonious development of the child. The sample of our investigation consists of 149 papers written by preschool and primary school teachers during the period 2017-2025, in which we identified the main areas of interest, the most frequently used methodologies, strengths and thematic gaps, and proposed priority directions for future research. The research objectives were: 1. to identify the main themes addressed in studies on communication carried out by primary and preschool teachers. 2. to analyze the research methods and instruments used in these works. 3. to determine the frequency and thematic trends depending on the level of education (primary vs. preschool). 4. to formulate recommendations for applying research results in educational practice. The content analysis was carried out using a grid that included the following indicators: research theme, research objectives, methodology used, targeted level of education (primary/preschool), and results/recommendations formulated. The formation of communication competences in preschool and primary school children represents the foundation of the educational process, serving as the basis for all other areas of learning. Research conducted by teachers in their first degree papers demonstrates an increasing interest in the linguistic, socio-emotional, and digital dimensions of communication. However, there remains a need for more rigorous studies and an expansion into new themes. -
Developing Research Skills of Students
The study aimed to understand FPSE students’ perceptions of their own research skills, areas of interest, and difficulties encountered in educational research, as well as to identify opportunities for capitalizing on the results of the research conducted during university studies. Using a questionnaire with closed items, the investigation included 300 undergraduate (second year) and master's students (first and second years), who reported participating in educational research primarily within the Research Methodology course (75.6%), addressing topics such as curriculum, instruction and assessment theory, the education of children with SEN, and other areas, generally without further valorization of their work. The findings show that 75.6% of students capitalized on their research results exclusively within the Research Methodology course, while only 12.2% presented their results within methodological committees in schools or at conferences (4.9%). The main benefit perceived was preparation for the completion of bachelor’s or dissertation theses (63.4%), followed by the consolidation of theoretical training (14.6%) and, to a lesser extent (9.8%), the identification of scientific solutions to professional problems. The major difficulties reported included balancing work responsibilities with research activities (61%) and challenges in identifying research participants (24%). -
Optimizing EFL Listening Proficiency Through Technology-Mediated Instruction
Daniela Duralia12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchListening comprehension remains a persistent challenge for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, often hindered by complex phonological features, unfamiliar vocabulary, varied speech rates, and diverse accents. This study investigates the effectiveness of technology-enhanced instructional approaches in improving listening skills among university-level EFL students. Two primary strategies were examined: (1) the use of authentic listening materials integrated with communicative tasks, and (2) the implementation of technology-assisted tools, including language learning applications, podcasts, and multimedia resources. Employing an experimental design with control and treatment groups, data were collected via pre- and post-tests, learner questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. Results indicate significant improvements in listening comprehension across both interventions. Authentic materials foster contextual and cultural awareness, while communicative activities promote engagement and active listening. Technology-supported tools enable flexible, self-paced practice and increased exposure to diverse spoken input. The study highlights the pedagogical value of integrating context-rich, learner-centered, and technology-mediated strategies in EFL listening instruction. -
Online Teaching Strategies for Nursing Students: Challenges and Opportunities
Hong Nga Thi Nguyen12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchThe COVID-19 pandemic has transformed global education systems, with nursing education being among the most affected disciplines due to its dual reliance on theoretical instruction and clinical practice. This study examines the challenges and opportunities associated with the accelerated adoption of online teaching for nursing students. Through a mixed-methods literature review published between 2020 and 2025, the paper highlights both the potential and the limitations of e-learning in nursing. Key advantages of e-learning include accessibility, flexibility, and innovation which enable continuity of learning regardless of geographical location or time constraints. The integration of digital tools, such as virtual patient simulations and online case studies, has provided innovative opportunities to strengthen both theoretical and clinical knowledge. Nevertheless, there’re significant reductions in opportunities for direct clinical practice, unequal access to digital resources, and diminished interpersonal interaction. The findings suggest that blended learning an-approach combining online education with supervised, clinical training-offers the most effective and sustainable model for nursing education in the post-pandemic era. Recommendations include expanding investment in digital infrastructure, incorporating high-quality simulation technologies into nursing curricula, and ensuring comprehensive faculty development in e-learning pedagogies. Ultimately, online learning should be regarded not as a replacement but as a complementary strategy that enhances traditional nursing education. -
Perceived Stress, Basic Psychological Needs, and Quality of Life among Romanian School Counselors: A Mixed-Methods Study
Alina Mihaela Șeitan12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchSchool counselors face daily complex situations, such as abuse, trauma, and the emotional and relational difficulties of students, as well as pressures from other educational actors (parents, teachers, and the wider school community). These factors can generate high levels of stre The present study investigates the relationship between perceived stress, the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and quality of life among school counselors. A mixed-methods design was employed. The quantitative, correlational component included 43 school counselors from several counties, recruited through the Regional Centers for Resources and Educational Assistance. The qualitative component consisted of semi-structured interviews with three school counselors. Perceived stress was negatively associated with quality of life (r = -0.36, p < .05) and positively associated with frustration of psychological needs (r = 0.39, p < .001). Satisfaction of psychological needs showed a strong positive association with quality of life (r = 0.85, p < .001), explaining 73% of its variance. School counselors exhibit high levels of stress that significantly impact their quality of life. The satisfaction of basic psychological needs is an essential factor for maintaining well-being and professional balance. Study limitations include the small sample size and the subjective nature of self-report measures. -
Communication Barriers in Technical Faculties
Mihaela Andrei; Ana-Maria Grigoras (Oanca)12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchEffective communication is a fundamental skill in all sectors and is very important for academic and professional success. In higher education, especially in technical fields, it faces unique challenges. This paper investigates and analyzes the main communication barriers experienced by students from a technical faculty, both in their interactions with teachers and with their colleagues. A custom-designed questionnaire was applied to 125 students from different domains from a technical faculty. Beyond general comfort and frequency of communication, the instrument included questions to identify their problems from multiple categories: linguistic barriers, environmental barriers, perceptual/positional barriers (fear of judgment, status differences), and conceptual barriers (preconceptions, misinterpretation of messages). These options were based on classic models of communication breakdown and adapted to the academic context. The analysis revealed that many students do not feel fully comfortable engaging in dialogue with their teachers and there are many barriers in this process. In contrast, in the case of their colleagues, communication is much easier and more relaxed, with fewer obstacles. This paper highlights the importance of addressing communication barriers not only as interpersonal issues but as structural challenges in the educational process. These not only affect the quality of academic performance and collaboration but also influence students' confidence and motivation to participate actively in learning experience. -

Mapping TikTok Adoption in Romanian Universities: A Comparative Analysis of Social Media Communication Strategies Across Public and Private Universities
Lucian Barbacaru; Alina-Maria Băsu12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchThis study analyses the adoption of TikTok as a communication tool among Romanian universities, addressing a gap in understanding how Romanian universities use the social media platform preferred by Z Generation for institutional communication and student engagement. We conducted a systematic review of a total of 85 accredited higher education institutions (52 public and 33 private), aiming to map TikTok adoption rates, identify content strategies, and evaluate engagement metrics across different institutional types. Our analysis targeted official university TikTok accounts, where we categorized content types and we measured engagement indicators including views, likes, and comments. We further compared engagement levels between public and private institutions to highlight differences in visibility and communication style. Our findings reveal that while TikTok adoption remains uneven, institutions that adapt to platform culture (e.g., use of trending audio, short storytelling, or humorous formats) achieve higher engagement. The results underline TikTok’s growing role in higher education branding, recruitment, and digital visibility, while also revealing opportunities for more structured strategies in Romanian academia. Findings provide practical insights for university administrators developing social media strategies and theoretical implications for understanding institutional communication in the digital age. -
Increasing the Level of Education of the Younger Generation through Theatre
Georgiana Ene12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchTheatre is an integrative art form, with the capacity to support human development and the process of building skills for personal fulfilment and growth. The provision of theatrical education has been demonstrated to facilitate social integration and active participation in society. Furthermore, it has been shown to promote the formation of a concept of life based on humanistic and scientific values, national and universal culture, and the stimulation of intercultural dialogue, respect for dignity, tolerance, and fundamental human rights and freedoms. Theatre has been demonstrated to engender sensitivity to human issues, moral and civic values, and the promotion of sustainability and respect for the natural, social, and cultural environment. In the contemporary educational landscape, the integration of theatre in education has emerged as a compelling strategy to cultivate a well-rounded, dynamic learning environment. Theatre, with its rich tapestry of creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, offers unique opportunities to enhance traditional educational methodologies. The integration of theatrical practices into the curriculum has been demonstrated to enhance the learning experience and address the holistic development of students, preparing them for the complexities of modern life. The initiative to educate young people through theatre is a welcome one. It is aimed both at universities and faculties that offer programmes in theatre and the performing arts in Romania, as well as theatres that may have educational programmes dedicated to teenagers. The recent introduction of theatre education in high schools, in conjunction with music and visual education, will facilitate the employment of graduates from relevant faculties in pre-university education. Furthermore, the enhancement in the level of education of adolescents will be evident through their engagement with theatre. The present paper sets out the hypothesis that an increase in the level of education of the younger generation is to be achieved through the medium of theatre. -
Innovative Approaches in Medical Education for Family Medicine: Trends, Challenges, and Perspectives in Romania
Felicia Andrei; Daniela Gurguş; Roxana Folescu12-13/10/2025Education; ResearchFamily Medicine represents a cornerstone of healthcare delivery, requiring a solid educational foundation that integrates clinical knowledge, communication, prevention, and continuity of care. In Romania, the continuous evolution of academic requirements and healthcare needs has stimulated a reassessment of medical education approaches, particularly in the context of European integration and global health challenges. This study evaluates current trends in Family Medicine education in Romania, with a focus on competency-based curricula, digital platforms, and interprofessional training, aiming to identify innovative directions and existing challenges. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, consisting of a review of national curricula and policy documents, analysis of European recommendations, and a cross-sectional survey involving 126 family medicine residents and 42 academic trainers from five Romanian medical universities. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively, while qualitative responses underwent thematic coding to identify recurrent patterns. The results highlight a gradual but steady transition towards competency-based training, with an increasing emphasis on clinical reasoning, patient-centered care, and preventive strategies. E-learning platforms and case-based simulations were perceived as valuable, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents stressed the necessity of integrating telemedicine, health promotion, and communication skills into teaching. However, significant barriers were noted, such as uneven access to digital infrastructure, limited simulation resources, and insufficiently structured mentorship programmes. Family Medicine education in Romania is currently aligning with European standards while addressing local healthcare realities. To enhance the preparedness of future physicians, investment in digital competencies, interprofessional learning, structured mentorship, and continuous assessment tools is essential. By bridging these gaps, Family Medicine can remain a dynamic discipline, capable of responding effectively to the evolving health needs of patients and communities. -

Perceived Social Support through Students’ Drawings in the Fundamental Learning Stage
This study explores how students in the early years of primary education (preparatory class, first grade, and second grade) understand and perceive social support in the school environment through the analysis of their drawings and verbal explanations. Students were asked to draw “a day at school when someone helped them,” and the analysis focused on the content of the drawings, the use of symbols, colours, emotions, and depicted relationships, as well as the students’ verbal presentations. The results revealed that students perceive social support as largely provided by peers and teachers, in the form of concrete assistance (such as lending a pen, sharing a snack) and emotional encouragement. A positive perception of their social environment was reflected through symbols (hearts, stars, the sun, and butterflies) and warm colours (red, yellow, and pink). The larger drawings of certain figures indicate their emotional significance. This study highlights that drawing is a highly useful tool for teachers, allowing them to identify students’ emotional and social needs, particularly among young children, and providing a natural means of expression. Drawing can be used both individually and in group settings to observe the dynamics of relationships, but it is important that interpretations are approached with caution and with careful respect for the child’s privacy. -

This article explores the contribution of early childhood education services in supporting the work-life balance and highlights the essential benefits they offer. Additionally, it emphasizes how these services generate flexibility for parents, reduce stress, and facilitate the integration of professional and family responsibilities. Public policies and adequate funding for early childhood education are also analyzed as vital for promoting a more balanced future for families. The findings underscore the necessity for authorities to focus more on structural changes and the development of accessible early childhood education and care services, as well as expanding these services both in rural and urban areas. The article concludes with case studies and concrete examples of best practices, illustrating the importance of early childhood education within the context of work-family balance. -
Exploring Risk Factors of Early School Leaving in the Republic of Moldova
This study explores the determinants of early school leaving in the Republic of Moldova, with a focus on individual-level and contextual risk factors that shape young people's educational trajectories. Based on data from the 2020 Generations and Gender Survey and using binary logistic regression, the analysis identifies key predictors associated with increased likelihood of educational discontinuation among youth. The results highlight the significant impact of parental education, with youth whose parents have completed only lower secondary education being more likely to leave school early. Rural residence also emerges as a strong predictor, reflecting disparities in access to educational and transport infrastructure, as well as broader socio-economic disadvantages in non-urban areas. Gender differences are evident, with boys more likely to disengage from education, pointing to the influence of gendered socialization patterns. Additionally, early parenthood (before the age of 19) and growing up in larger families (three or more children) are significantly associated with higher odds of early school leaving. These findings emphasize the need for targeted, inclusive, and context-sensitive educational policies that address both structural inequalities and individual-level vulnerabilities. -
The Efficiency of Teamwork in Medical Electronics Laboratories
Bianca-Alexandra Zîrnă; Denis Mihailovschi05/06/202510.63467/alls15.proceedingsEducation; ResearchWith so many teaching strategies available today that enhance students' learning, it might be difficult to decide which one to implement in electronics laboratories at a faculty. Is the most effective method still the straightforward, traditional, team-based work, or are the new methods—flipped classroom, role play, gamification, etc.—suitable for students? Do students perform better working individually or in a team of people that share the same interests? The participants of this study are second-year students who worked either in free-chosen teams of two to three people or in pre established teams of three to four people in the medical electronics laboratories of the Faculty of Medical Engineering over the course of a year. The goal of this paper is to answer these questions regarding the optimal teaching and learning strategy for university students by using a form with different questions about their perspective on teamwork. -

Enhancing Learning Objectives in Legal Education: Comparing Smart and ABCD Strategies
The process of training future specialists of legal professions in higher education institutions of any country, today is subject to teaching traditions that have been strongly imprinted by the culture of that geographical space. The culture of teaching legal subjects is dictated by the particularities of the great legal systems. Although national legal systems differ significantly—even within the "major legal families"—we find it appropriate, within the present investigation, to identify the "ideology" of an effective and efficient methodology for training law students. In essence, the "legal education architecture" will strictly respect learning objectives. By analyzing teaching traditions, curriculum frameworks, perspectives of labor market representatives, and the views of legal education beneficiaries, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of the SMART methodology—defined by its focus on specificity, measurability, achievability, relevance, and time-boundedness—and the ABCD model, which emphasizes audience, behavior, condition, and degree, in defining the learning objectives within the field of legal sciences. The analysis aims to demonstrate how the pedagogical principles advanced by Malcolm Knowles and Benjamin Bloom can be implemented in a harmonious way and integrative manner, enabling universities not only to impart knowledge and develop professional competencies, but also to foster and reinforce fundamental human values among future legal professionals. However, in this research, based on the role of the jurist in contemporary society, we intend to formulate strategies for defining learning objectives in the context of new challenges to legal education: artificial intelligence, pandemic, economic security, migration, armed conflicts, environmental protection giving rise, already at university level, to scenarios that future legal professionals must not only reflect upon, but also address and respond to promptly. In the paper, in order to demonstrate the theses formulated at the outset, we have employed theoretical research methods: analysis and synthesis. We employed deductive reasoning whenever necessary, as it is central to legal argumentation and, by extension, to legal activity. This emphasis on deduction does not diminish the importance of its counterpart, induction, nor does it reduce the relevance of combining analysis with synthesis and applying other complementary methods. Certainly, in order to substantiate the research results, we resorted to empirical methods such as observation, verification, and testing. Empirical methods specifically allowed us to identify qualitative indicators of learning objectives formulation strategies. Learning from experience and through experience is the key to the success of training valuable professionals in the field of legal sciences. In this regard, contemporary methodologies abound in methods and techniques of experiential learning. Therefore, in the proposed study, we will identify to what extent experiential learning fits into the strategies for formulating SMART and ABCD learning objectives. In the ideal version, a curricular standard at the law faculties will be thoroughly thought out by calibrating the learning objectives with the teaching techniques and methods that allow the most successful achievement of the training goals. -
Medical Education in the Digital Age - Benefits and Risks
Curis Cecilia; Curis Sebastian-Marius05/06/202510.63467/alls15.proceedingsEducation; ResearchThe prophylactic and curative programs aim to use digital literacy as a tool to promote health education and to increase the accessibility and quality of health services. What is called "e-health" has become an important component of connecting health systems around the world. Variables such as cost, time, availability can be improved through the mechanism of digitization. Despite the benefits, there are a number of barriers, among which we mention the lack of digital literacy, reduced access to devices, user reluctance, and the danger of accessing scientifically unvalidated databases. Also an important risk factor is the vulnerability per se of these types of systems, which contain sensitive data about large categories of individuals. Apart from the risks and imperfections of actual digital health networks, the overall benefits of digital health networks cannot be minimized. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the literacy level of the population, in line with the current policies to be implemented by 2030. The aim of the study is to raise awareness among policy-makers and patients about the need for digital literacy. Through the current research we conducted an analysis of a total of 182 studies that we have identified in the PubMed database for the period 2005-2024. Data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel.The findings of the study point to the need for digital literacy of the population with the -
Enhance on Clinical Education for Nursing Students with Videos: A Review of the Literature
Clinical education is the cornerstone of nursing education, essential to equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required for professional practice. However, challenges such as limited clinical placement opportunities, varying levels of instructor support, and increasing student enrollment have necessitated the consideration of alternative or complementary teaching methods. One such method that is gaining prominence is video-based learning. The review synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed studies published for ten years (2015-2025), highlighting the diverse ways in which videos have been employed-including procedural demonstrations, scenario-based simulations, and reflective learning modules. Evidence suggests that video-based instruction enhances learning outcomes development, emotional-interpersonal development, and technological integration-accessibility. Moreover, video tools offer flexible, repeatable, standardized learning opportunities that accommodate various learning styles. Despite the numerous advantages, the literature also identifies challenges such as the need for high-quality, evidence-based video content, technological barriers, and the importance of integrating video resources with active learning strategies and instructor guidance.

A Comparative Analysis of Autonomous versus Guided Task-Based Approaches for Enhancing Speaking Proficiency among EFL University Learners
This article explores the relative effectiveness of two teaching methods applied in a unit on Artificial Intelligence for two English as a Foreign Language (EFL) groups of students at the same language proficiency level. The instructor applied different strategies to the two 15 student groups: Autonomous Active Learning (AAL) and Guided Task-Based Learning (TBL). Both methods are acknowledged for their potential to improve speaking proficiency among university-level EFL learners. Although both approaches are based on communicative language teaching and task-based instruction, they should be used according to students' needs, depending on learner autonomy and teacher involvement. Through a review of related literature, an analysis of empirical studies, and a theoretical discussion, this research seeks to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The results suggest that students flourish in active learning settings where they are highly engaged and interact directly with English speakers. While guided TBL provides chances for memorization and practice, it may restrict vocabulary growth and learning new terms due to insufficient exposure to authentic texts and real-life conversations. By the end of the study, students in the AAL group showed increased confidence in presenting their projects, whereas those in the TBL group displayed more hesitance. -
Education in the Imperative of Sustainability. A Step towards the Impact of Science and Technology
Sustainable Development (SD) heterogeneity outlines the diverse challenges of achieving economic growth. The strategy for the SD is framed within the broader framework of biodiversity ecosystems. This roadmap enhances resource management and education, both fundamental for achieving social progress and ensuring performance. Education in the SD strategy represents a significant challenge to the status quo in the domain of complementary education studies, with implications for employment in science and technology. According to Eurostat, the Human Resources in Science and Technology (HRST) index reported that in 2023, 71.8 million people were employed in science and technology within the European Union (EU). Researchers in this domain signal limitations on the education sector’s ability to plan for the future, particularly regarding the constraints imposed by resource scarcity and economic growth. Highlighting the challenges of inquiry, this paper explores more specifically the key factors that shape HRST potential, considering the common context of all economies, the natural environment, which substantiates the performance equation that entails household economic growth and investments. Therefore, to grasp the trends of HRST, an analysis of Eurostat indicators was performed. The paper's result was regressed in the landscape of statistical information ranging between 2014 and 2023. To properly manage the performance context that biases science and technology, attention was focused on the primary keys of ecosystems, such as environmental protection actions, forestry, construction, and agricultural land. Moreover, the construction investment parameters imprint a significant behavior on science and technology, even if environmental protection activities dont have yet a corresponding impact in statistics, as Türkiye case, unlike Western Europe, which creates an influence between environmental protection activities and science and technology. This framework aims to delineate the scientific and technological potential in achieving sustainable development goals, considering that innovation, science and technology are an imperative for society that connects the educational environment to economic performance. -
