Abstract: This article presents a comparative international and cross-cultural study about aesthetics in in early childhood education in forest kindergarten education in Germany and Korea. It deals with differences in the understanding of education and the (educational) goals of the forest kindergarten pedagogy. In addition, the educational area of aesthetics in forest kindergartens in both countries is examined. This article presents the current state of research on aesthetic education in early childhood education in forest kindergartens. This is the first study that focuses on forest kindergartens and aesthetic education in an international and cross-cultural context. A written survey with mostly quantitative questions and some qualitative parts is conducted, in which both the parents (314) and the education experts (84) in Germany and South Korea were interviewed. The frequencies of the different statements were determined and presented graphically with Word clouds. The main result of this study is that the forest kindergarten pedagogy in Germany and Korea, despite different educational understandings and different cultures, has a lot in common, because the Koreans have taken over many aspects and attitudes from Germany. The educational field of aesthetics is explicitly more relevant in Germany, but the Korean experts are presenting many projects that have a close connection to the aesthetic education sector, without assigning them to this field. This includes especially traditional offers such as masquerade and calligraphy. The concluding consideration critically discusses the results and places them in the discourse of forest kindergarten pedagogy.

Abstract: During two years of analysis of thesis projects for the graduation of bachelor’s degree in spanish language, deficiencies have been found in the students of the Spanish faculty of Hebei International Studies University, China, to assume and reproduce the idea of Spanish America as a heterogeneous conglomerate, therefore it was determined to study the idea of cultural diversity disseminated by the books for the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language in China. In this case, the Español Moderno 1 Student's Book and the Español Moderno 1 Reading Books were selected because they are the most widely used in universities and constitute the first learning section. Software-assisted qualitative analysis was used, establishing a coding system for the cultural information that made it possible to identify the cultural information with which the idea of the Hispanic American subject and society is constructed. Together with the ethnographic work with the students, it was concluded that the cultural information is dispersed, incoherent and superficial. It offers a vision of Hispanic America equated to Spain, understanding this as a region of Christian society, Spanish-speaking population and Latin culture with peculiar details and touristic landscapes. The book offers an inconsistent cultural education environment, which puts students at risk of making cultural mistakes during immersion in any Spanish-speaking cultural context. The Hispanic American cultural reality needs to be presented in a respectful and accurate manner. This implies decolonizing the perception and understanding Hispanic America from Hispanic America and not through colonial filters that seek to perpetuate a constricted vision, fertilized by ethnocentric analysis and denial of reality.

Abstract: Education of all people is very important in order to upgrade a nation's human resources for the best possible utilisation of their full potential throughout life. The process of effective teaching, learning, and skill development equips them for fulfilling lives. Even if it is not a "basic right" of the individual, government and society still value higher education for the population's prosperity and well-being. The government has developed a multitude of plans, laws, and programmes over time to make access to education easier. The action plan includes gender sensitization to reduce the gender gap in educational achievement and to narrow the rural-urban divide over time. This was done with the assistance of governmental, private, and joint venture entities (Public Private together). The inequalities between rural and urban areas and gender inequality in educational attainment, however, are almost ubiquitous. The focus of the current study is higher education. Based on data from the 2011 Indian Census, it is a micro level analysis. In order to analyse the distribution of men and women with higher education throughout all districts in Haryana, both urban and rural, maps are created using the Q. GIS software. The maps reveal a significant disparity between the male and female populations as well as between rural and urban areas.
