Abstract: Digital equity, grounded in principles of equity and the ethics of care, is essential for ensuring quality higher education. It facilitates access, supports sustainability, and promotes inclusive education by addressing the technological dimensions of education. This study explores the relationship between digital equity and sustainability in higher education. A total of 167 students enrolled in initial teacher education programs at the University of Primorska, Faculty of Education, completed a questionnaire featuring the Digital Equity in Higher Education Scale and the Sustainability in Higher Education Scale. To achieve this study’s objectives, a principal factor analysis was conducted to validate the scales, and a multiple linear regression was employed to develop a predictive model. The findings revealed that digital equity in higher education comprises five dimensions as follows: (i) access to teachers who support the use of digital technology; (ii) access to digital technology and opportunities for its use; (iii) access to digital resources; (iv) access to culturally relevant software and applications; and (v) access to open-access resources. Sustainability in higher education encompasses two dimensions as follows: (i) collaborative problem solving and (ii) socioemotional aspects of sustainability. These dimensions interact in a complex manner. Key predictors of digital equity and sustainability included access to and use of digital technology, as well as collaborative problem solving. Importantly, this study highlighted the critical role of skilled teachers in facilitating the effective use of digital technology.

Abstract: The new dimension of a stimulating, open and innovative learning environment in education is recognised in the integrative collaboration of all those involved in the educational process. Such an environment provides children with a variety of contextual experiences to enter the symbolic world of culture and art. Collaboration between artists and teachers has been identified as an essential approach to improving the quality of planned arts practice in kindergartens and schools. In order to improve collaborative teaching between teachers and artists in Slovenian preschools and primary schools, a design-based research methodology was used. The paper presents a snapshot of the pre-intervention situation and the impact of interventions that involved teachers in collaborative work with artists and children’s participation in the educational process. The study involved 116 preschool teachers and 148 primary school teachers. The results showed the importance of involving artists in the educational process. By involving artists in the pedagogical process, teachers can gain information about how children can participate experientially and expressively in artistic experiences, which 1) relieves the burden of predetermined and overstructured curricular practices, 2) enables pupils to participate experientially and expressively in artistic experiences, 3) provides teachers with insight into children’s experiential and expressive capacities/ competences, and 4) provides artists with insight into the possibilities of integrating authentic artistic experiences into education.

Abstract: Participacija otrok pri odločanju v zanje pomembnih zadevah je v zadnjih desetletjih postala ena izmed osrednjih tem pedagoških razprav tudi na področju predšolske vzgoje. Čeprav Konvencija o otrokovih pravicah (1989) obvezuje države podpisnice, da zagotovijo otroku možnost svobodnega izražanja mnenj o vseh zadevah v zvezi z njim, je interpretacija otrokovih mnenj že v konvenciji prejudicirana z upoštevanjem otrokove starosti in zrelosti. V prispevku predstavljamo rezultate raziskave, v kateri smo proučevali povezanost stališč vzgojiteljic do participacije otrok z načini participacije otrok pri načrtovanju dejavnosti v vrtcih ter preverjali vključenost otrok v načrtovanje glede na prvo in drugo starostno obdobje, delovno dobo vzgojiteljic, njihovo usposabljanje ter lastno proučevanje participacije otrok. Rezultati kažejo, da se participacija otrok pri načrtovanju v predšolski vzgoji povezuje s stališči vzgojiteljic do participacije otrok, delovno dobo vzgojiteljic, starostjo otrok in predvsem s samoiniciativnim pridobivanjem znanja na področju participacije otrok v vrtcu.
