Answer 1

1.

Since the ecosystem approach to education is still in its infancy, there is no agreement on what constitutes a “educational ecosystem.” Simultaneously, practicing leaders intuitively recognize the distinction between “ecosystem” and “non-ecosystem” management methods. According to a survey of respondents, the key characteristics of educational ecosystems include versatility, co-creation, and purposefulness more frequently than others. Educational ecosystems are defined as networks of interconnected and diverse actors involved in the lifelong learning/upbringing/development process. Educational ecosystems bring together learners and communities to maximize their individual and collective potential. They are diverse, dynamic, and ever-changing. Education ecosystems' (sole) goal is to create a prosperous future for people, communities, and the planet.
