“…The 21st century is known as the era of vast knowledge, and it is a season that gives more attention to students ability to think critically and relate factual knowledge to the real world experience. To meet up with these standards, appropriate channels must be in place, and one of such is the electronic book [9].Information technology is useful in our everyday life. Hence it is a great tool to solve the problems of the 21st century.…”

The objective of this research is to create an interactive math e-book that can be used as learning material for middle school students. The development procedure used is ADDIE(Analysis, Implementation, Development, Evaluation, and Design) model. The instruments used were expert validation questionnaires, student response questionnaires, and learning outcomes tests. This study involved three content experts, three media experts, and60 students. The results showed that achievement scores obtained from content experts 87.50%, media experts 90%, student responses 88.57%, and student learning outcomes 84.33%. These achievement score shows that the math e-book is eligible and can be used in the learning process. Other findings are known that the achievement score of urban student learning outcomes is significantly better than other students. It can be concluded that the math e-book is more suitable as learning resource for urban students.

“…Additionally, the projects all seek real-world solutionsenhanced environmental understanding and stewardship. Real-world learning resonates with approaches such as inquiry learning and project-based learning (Maher & Yoo, 2017;Wang, Lavonen, & Tirri, 2018). These approaches are learner-centred (Moursund, 1998) providing students and the broader community with opportunities to participate collaboratively in real-life situations where they co-construct learning with personal significance and relevance (Smith, diSessa, & Roschelle, 1993).…”

As demands on the environment continue to intensify, it becomes increasingly urgent to act sustainably, responsibly and respectfully, to protect and restore environments. Digital technologies, including videoconferencing, mobile apps and virtual and augmented realities, can provide new ways of engaging students in environmental stewardship. Such technologies can pique student interest, while enabling them to capture experiences of local and distal environments, to collect data and share their findings with broader audiences. This article critically explores innovative, formal and informal learning practices in experiential environmental education approaches among schools, families and communities, such as citizen science projects. It draws on qualitative case study vignettes, as well as the authors' previous work and broader literature, to consider the potential and limitations of such technologies and approaches. The key question concerns how existing and emerging technologies might serve as bridges or barriers to apprenticing young people into globally-minded, environmentally responsible and respectful behaviours.

“…Teachers should also be able to prepare their students for the future by teaching them the twenty-first century skills. These skills can be defined as an integration of the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that all young people of our time are required to have [14].…”

In this chapter, a purposeful teacher is introduced as a goal in teacher education for the twenty-first century. Purposeful teacher is defined as a teacher with moral purposes. Purposeful teachers are ethical professionals who have both freedom and responsibility to make pedagogical decisions in the best interest of their students. Purposeful teaching is discussed in the Finnish context with some examples of the current educational challenges. The purpose profiles of Finnish student teachers are presented to inform the needs for purpose education for future teachers. Different approaches to teach purpose in the teacher education and in schools are introduced with examples from different countries. The didactic approach used in moral education is presented as a case-example to teach purpose in teacher education. The aims of twenty-first century learning call for purposeful teachers who actualize and model lifelong learning in their profession. A growth mindset in learning and ethical skills is introduced as important assets in the professional growth toward purposeful teaching.
