Talk incessantly about how education can change society.

The study highlights the role teachers can have as agents of social change. Drawing on their special place in the community, educators can affect their students’ lives—and that of the broader society. These findings emphasise the urgent need to equip teachers with the skills, resources, and support needed to take on this role and drive positive social change in our communities.

Teachers are a force for good and facilitation, and in this post-COVID world we must embrace that.” It includes not only their pedagogical knowledge but also their leadership knowledge and their knowledge of their social context. And this way, we will be able to have the much more dynamic and responsive education system that will be in active motion, working with the real-life challenges that the society has and working in building a much more equitable and inclusive world.

To be clear what these metrics are:

Temporal trends: Monitor metrics that develop over time.

Comparative analysis: Compare metrics to similar articles in Pandora

Geographical distribution: Check the place in which the article is retrieved.

Analytics across platforms: track analytical data on different academic portals

Moreover, article access statistics provide valuable supportive feedback for identifying the most impactful publications across various research fields to help authors (Burkey and Reiter, 2015; National et al., 2015). Such metrics are commonly employed in both measures of research impact (for institutions) and for institutional decision-making (for funding bodies).

Centred on developers of article scopes, creators can receive full information about how their occupations and jobs impact—and possibly just how to enhance or collaborate. Moving ahead, we need to be mindful of the ways in which these metrics will carve paths through our academic ecosystem.
