“…The various indices used to establish the exact goodness of fit, such as the RMSEA, CFI and NFI, showed favorable results. The results of the SEM model allowed us to conclude that the model's estimate is good, since it demonstrated the validity of the construct of the Smart City questionnaire, promoting the constant improvement of information and communication technologies, their more frequent use, and their adaptation to the demands of society so that these technologies can provide an excellent environment for the dissemination of information [87][88][89].…”

The objective of this research was to design and validate a questionnaire for teachers on the knowledge and use of smart city concepts and their usefulness in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic based on a sustainable approach at different educational levels. It is important to analyze the use of online education based on the construction of intelligent learning environments, which favor the interaction between the environment and the student. With a quasi-experimental methodology, the psychometric properties of the questionnaire were analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM), and the model was adjusted through a multivariate regression analysis to relate response patterns to a set of latent factors that cannot be directly observed, but exist in continuous dimensions of the people evaluated, and to create a valid and reliable instrument as a measurement tool using a sample of n = 973 subjects. The sample distribution consisted of 22.36% primary school teachers, 59.01% high school teachers, and 18.56% university teachers. The results showed a high reliability and construct validity through two models, and adjustment of the original model produced better goodness-of-fit parameters. We conclude that the designed questionnaire is a useful and valid tool for understanding how teachers have approached online teaching during the pandemic and their knowledge and use of Smart City concepts.

“…International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education (IRGEE) looks forward to more research that will help us better understand the issues in curriculum and instruction for hazard and crisis education. It is a great challenge for geography and environmental education to develop and contribute to enhancing social media use awareness by taking into account the aforementioned aspects (Kidman & Chang, 2020).…”

The study observed on how COVID-19 disturbed the universe, its detrimental factors to detriment the constituents in particular to educational endeavor, the outcomes to teachers and to the learners. Yet, on the contrary this is also an opportune to extend teaching stratification whom a concluding scenarios that sometimes attending classes in the classrooms were insignificant not unless for formative assessment, 21st pedagogues more probably applicable whereby lectures can be done thru social media (blogs, group chats, emails). The study conveyed also that research-output-based teaching methods are more desirable as if students would be taught on how to be a writer and a researcher. However, this COVID-19 reciprocally demean traditional maneuvers hence attendance literally are not necessary, this is a resolution of vanishing the old methods of teaching but on the other hand modular concept has led to resolve the issue. This COVID-19 definitely an uprising of a new beginning onward to educational teaching stratification but subsequently this is also threatening students of which their only avenue to attain the learning process is going to internet café where they are exposed, and prohibited for safety precautions. This disease skeptically made excuses for those who were non-focus, malingered individual either to their studies or duty, this even defying one’s authority for a reason of security, a banishment of those known with infected disease, and economically the Local Government Unit (LGU) were suppressive.

“…As this article was being written, education systems and environmental educators were being challenged -as they often are during times of crisis (Kidman & Chang, 2020) -by the lockdowns and uncertainty that have thus far stemmed from the COVID-19 pandemic. The upheaval that was caused to education systems by the sharp transition to distance learning has necessitated a rapid response.…”

“…The second objective of the study is to examine the ways in which environmental educators have chosen to empower the location of nature as part of their educational conception, in an attempt to find ways to bring people closer to nature while locked down in their homes. This is a topic that has not been addressed extensively by the literature (Kidman & Chang, 2020). To investigate it further, we asked the following two questions: (1) How can we characterise the teaching methods that were employed by environmental educators during the COVID-19 lockdown?…”

Education systems and environmental education professionals have been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic and the sharp transition to distance learning that has necessitated a rapid response. Environmental education as part of a social-ecological system is dependent on the adaptability and the scope of the change with which the system responds to crisis. It is therefore important to explore the ways in which environmental educators choose to increase students' proximity to nature under conditions of lockdown. The aim of this study, therefore, was to examine environmental educators' perspective on and teaching methods for implementing environmental education under distance learning conditions. To this end, we conducted 16 interviews and analysed teaching methods (e.g. videos, lesson plans and written assignments) that were used by Israeli environmental educators in March-April 2020. The findings highlight the creativity of the educators who used a variety of teaching methods, involving active/ passive learning and the direct/indirect experience of nature, using nature for observation, investigation and in-depth personal, social and environmental learning. The study's contribution stems from its exploration of the crisis from the perspective of environmental education in the context of social-ecological systems. Key findings present challenges (e.g. lack of direct outdoor interaction and feedback) and opportunities (e.g. public access to online lectures and the nationwide sharing of teaching materials) that were faced by environmental educators in Israel and that led to the development of diverse teaching methods for contending with the crisis. The study recommends incorporating diverse activities in nature, implementing outdoor teacher training for all teachers and creating professional teacher networks.
