EDUSMART (No. 1 / 2025)
About
The International Conference on Education, Science and Modern Approaches in Research & Teaching (EDUSMART) has been conceived as an academic platform to bring together educators, researchers, and professionals from various disciplines and educational levels—from early childhood to higher education. The conference seeks to promote dialogue, share innovative practices, and explore emerging methodologies that integrate science, technology, and education in addressing the challenges of contemporary learning and teaching. Initiated by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, this event reflects a strong institutional commitment to advancing educational innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
This proceedings volume compiles the peer-reviewed papers presented at EDUSMART 2025, held on 22–24 July 2025 at the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, Romania. The special theme of this edition, “Generation for Innovation, Resilience, Leadership and Sustainability (GIRLS),” highlights the transformative power of education and science in cultivating creativity, adaptability, leadership, and sustainable development.
The contributions collected in this volume address a wide range of topics, including innovative teaching and learning methodologies, technology-enhanced education, digital and AI-driven pedagogical tools, interdisciplinary and inclusive approaches, as well as case studies on service-learning and project-based learning. The papers also emphasize international cooperation and best practices that bridge education, research, and community engagement.
This volume is intended for educators, researchers, practitioners, and students who seek to advance education through science, technology, and modern pedagogical models that prepare future generations to meet global challenges with innovation, resilience, leadership, and sustainability.
