PROSES METAKOGNITIF SISWA DALAM PEMECAHAN MASALAH MATEMATIKA BERDASARKAN GAYA KOGNITIF FIELD DEPENDENT DAN FIELD INDEPENDENT

The purpose of this research is to describe the students' metacognition process in solving mathematical problems based on field dependent and field independent cognitive styles. Therefore the type of this research is descriptive research with qualitative approach. This research was carried out in one of the junior high schools in Kab. Malang. The location of the study was chosen because this school was a school whose learning had arrived at the material used in the research instrument. In addition, there is no research on student metacognition in the selected school so that the authenticity of the results obtained is better. The research subjects were 4 class VII students each of 2 subjects representing each cognitive style group based on GEFT questionnaire analysis. The researcher took 2 subjects in each group of cognitive styles to compare students' metacognitive processes in solving problems in terms of different cognitive styles. The results showed that at the stage of plan development, the field dependent metacognition process of students in the field dependent cognitive style was aware of its existence in the problem solving process, specific knowledge about the problems faced, but lacking in knowledge of strategies to solve problems. then at the stage of implementation of the plan, field dependent students are aware of their knowledge in monitoring the strategies needed, how, and when to use them in solving problems. in the final stage, namely the stage of evaluating the results. Field dependent students turn out to be aware of their thinking processes and thinking capacity but not on the results of their thinking. On the other hand, the metacognition process of field independent students at an early stage is the development of a conscious plan about its existence in the process of solving problems, specific knowledge of the problems faced, and knowledge of strategies to solve problems. The next stage, namely the implementation stage of the plan. At this stage, students field independent students aware of their knowledge in monitoring the strategies needed, how, and when to use them in solving problems. then in the final stage of evaluating the results, field independent students realize the importance of implementing this stage as a tool to ensure the correctness of completion and it appears that field independent students are aware of the processes and results of thinking, thinking capacity, and self limitations when solving problems.
A Commentary on Mental Health Research in Elite Sport

Elite athletes may be as likely as members of the general population to experience mental disorders, and there has recently been a surge of research examining mental health among athletes. This paper provides an overview and commentary of the literature on the mental health of elite athletes and explores how trends within and beyond the field of sport psychology have impacted this literature. Reviewing the contextual influences on this field, namely disorder prevalence, barriers to support seeking, mental toughness, and psychiatric epidemiology, are important to understand the broader picture of mental health research and to further strengthen work undertaken in sport psychology. In addition, appreciating the influence of various contextual factors on athlete mental health research can help to highlight where sport psychology practitioners may focus their attention in order to advance research and applied practice with elite athletes experiencing poor mental health. It is important that researchers consider how they measure mental health, how studies on the mental health of elite athletes are designed, implemented, and evaluated, and how both researchers and practitioners may help to combat athletes’ perceptions of stigma surrounding mental health. Considering topics such as these may lead to a deeper understanding of athlete mental health, which may in turn help to inform sport specific policies, applied practice guidelines, and interventions designed to enhance athlete mental health. Lay Summary: Recently, there has been an expansion of research on the mental health of elite athletes. We discuss some factors that have influenced the study of elite athlete mental health and how these factors continue to shape the field. We propose ways that researchers and practitioners may advance work in this area.
Refugees: Post Traumatic Stress, and Crime Experiences from Germany

The immigration of refugees since 2014, especially from North African Countries has the last year an increasing critical political discussion in the population, also in Germany, the goal of many migrants. While on the background of political signals at the beginning of the movement refugees were welcome by the majority of the population, meanwhile criticism is more and more expressed in the media and political discussion. In many European Countries right wing parties were established, also in Germany (Alternative für Deutschland – AfD). The last vote for the European Parliament shows for Germany an increasing acceptance of this party, especially in Eastern Germany, the former German Democratic Republic. Very often the public is not very well informed by the media. On one side there are reports of an increasing crime rate, without differenciating the background of, on the other side the German industry needs the immigrants, there are many open positions for workers. The chapter gives a short overview about the discussion about the topic in Germany.
Best practices for effective implementation of project strategy

This graduation research is carried out to investigate the problem of effective implementation of project strategy. The problem description is the following: Companies executing EPC projects in energy and chemicals industry encounter bottlenecks in effectively implementing project strategy. Based on this a research question is formulated: How can best practices related to strategy improve project strategy implementation in an EPC company? The main research objective is to explore the best practices to improve project strategy implementation within EPC projects. This research is divided into three phases. In the first phase, literature review is conducted to a) gain insight and understanding into the practices of implementation of project strategy, b) to understand the impact of the main aspects on project strategy and its implementation and c) provide a guideline for protocols for interviews in the second phase. The following ten aspects as influential in implementation of project strategy have been determined: communication, tools a methods, resources, recognition, benefits, structure, culture, leadership, decisions and actions. In the second phase, 7 project managers and project directors of Fluor Corporation, all subject-matter experts in project execution in the EPC industry, were interviewed. The interviews have been performed to understand the practice of implementing project strategy in an EPC project, resulting in the following list of main issues with implementation of project strategy; global office communication, shared understanding, strategy-operation alignment, and bottom-up ownership. In the ultimate phase (third) suitable best practices (tools and techniques) were selected to counter the main 4 issues based on an extensive literature study. These are as follows: planned communication, scrum, gamification, dialogue-mapping, balanced scorecard, informal leadership, and client-centric team development.
Towards Neuroadaptive Personal Learning Environments: Using fNIRS to Detect Changes in Attentional State

Current ubiquity of online learning tools has led to an increased interest in developing neuroadaptive personalized learning environments using non-invasive brain imaging tools (Anderson et al., 2009; Heraz and Frasson, 2009; Keating et al., 2016; Liu, Walker, Solovey, 2017). Detecting mind wandering (MW) is one target for assessing the state of a learner. Mind wandering can be detrimental to student learning, where instead of processing external task-related information, students engage in internal non-task thoughts (Smallwood, Fishman, & Schooler, 2007; Mills et al., 2013). Examining direct brain activity during non-response periods can help disentangle focused from mind-wandering states.
Distrust persists after subverting atheist stereotypes

Antiatheist prejudice appears to be common. This prejudice may stem from distrust. However, the factors influencing distrust are not fully understood. The current research identified common stereotypes about atheists, tested the intuitiveness of those stereotypes, and determined whether distrust toward atheists depends more on the label “atheist” or the attributes atheists are thought to possess. Study 1 (N = 100) and Study 2 (N = 149) identified several attributes thought to be most characteristic of atheists and least characteristic of Christians (or vice versa). Study 3 (N = 219) demonstrated that atheists and Christians are intuitively associated with the respective traits identified in Studies 1 and 2. Study 4 (N = 274) and Study 5 (N = 259) used fake social media profiles to manipulate target religious identification (atheist, Christian, or unspecified) and attributes (stereotypically atheist or stereotypically Christian) to determine the effect on trust ratings. Overall, the results of these studies indicate that atheists and Christians are explicitly and implicitly associated with different attributes and that, even when atheists possess stereotypically Christian attributes, Christians trust atheists significantly less than other Christians. These findings suggest that antiatheist prejudice is relatively insensitive to individual differences of the target.
Preregistration in Single-Case Design Research

To draw informed conclusions from research studies, research consumers need full and accurate descriptions of study methods and procedures. Preregistration has been proposed as a means to clarify reporting of research methods and procedures, with the goal of reducing bias in research. However, preregistration has been applied primarily to research studies utilizing group designs. In this article, we discuss general issues in preregistration and consider the use of preregistration in single-case design research, particularly as it relates to differing applications of this methodology. We then provide a rationale and make specific recommendations for preregistering single-case design research, including guidelines for preregistering basic descriptive information, research questions, participant characteristics, baseline conditions, independent and dependent variables, hypotheses, and phase-change decisions.
Concordancia en la percepción de conductas violentas en parejas adolescentes

Violence between adolescent couples is a topic of social relevance, highlighted by its prevalence rates and its serious consequences. As an objective, it is proposed to check the levels of prevalence of violent events in adolescent and young couples and to determine the levels of concordance in the occurrence of violence during courtship based on the information provided by both members of the same couple. The sample consists of 106 couples with an age range between 18 and 30 years, to who was applied independently the questionnaire of violence between dating, in its version for couples (CUVINO-VA). The results reflected a high prevalence of violence in their dating relationships and high discrepancies in their perception, statistically significant, in both men and women in both the roles of aggression and victimization.
How to promote chemical literacy? On-line question posing and communicating with scientists

Facilitating students' chemical literacy is a focal point of current science education. This study examines views of chemists and chemistry teachers on chemical literacy and, more broadly, on scientific literacy of four kinds of stakeholders: scientists, teachers, STEM students, and the educated public. We explored the views of 347 participants, representing the four stakeholder groups with diversified scientific literacy, and an Ask-a-Scientist public website as a communication channel for facilitating chemical literacy through posing questions. Research tools included interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and questions retrieved from the website. We found that the questions posed on the website expressed a range of levels of chemical literacy that the students had constructed. The stakeholder groups expressed diverse perspectives of their experiences using various types of communication channels, arguing for the need to encourage students to pose questions and receive scientists' responses. Our study is placed in the larger context of scientific literacy and communication channels, as it takes the example of chemical literacy, with a focus on communications among scientists and chemistry teachers in the context of an Ask-a-Scientist website. It has established a link between responses of various stakeholders and the literature definitions regarding scientific literacy with focus on chemical literacy. From a practical viewpoint, the study presents a productive communication channel for posing questions in the context of chemistry and other sciences. Methodologically, this study includes the design of tools for analyzing both the views of different stakeholders and for evaluating the complexity level of chemistry questions, which might serve chemistry educators.
Multitasking of Teachers in the Contemporary Settings: Boon or Bane?

The purpose of this undertaking was to describe the multitasking of teachers in the workplace. Employing phenomenological approach with 15 teachers, in-depth interviews and focus group discussion were conducted which revealed that multitasking of teachers in the workplace is prevalent. Three major themes of multitasking of teachers as experienced emerged, such as self-sacrifice, personal and career challenge and personal growth and development. Multitasking of teachers in the workplace affected all facets of the teachers’ lives, their time management, prioritizing task and multitasking being the emergent themes as consequences of teachers multitasking in the workplace. The participants of the study had different approaches in coping with the experience, through strengths and perseverance, industry, faith in oneself and faith in God. Based on the results of the study, it came out that most of the teachers doing multitasking in the workplace enjoyed and continued the work flow that comes from switching one tasks to another and considered it as the most productive way when stimulated with a variety of task. In view of the above, school heads hold a unique position in our society and have a special obligation to foster cognitive and non-cognitive activities which inspire the multitasking teachers to continue to refuel their experiences to become more productive and successful in their fields of endeavours, and to widen their insights on how to conquer the task and responsibilities assigned to them as they go along the journey of their professional careers.
Perceptions, Evaluations, and Effects of Resource and Demand Inequality in the Workplace

PERCEPTIONS, EVALUATIONS, AND EFFECTS OF RESOURCE AND DEMAND INEQUALITY IN THE WORKPLACE Vishi Gnanakumaran Advisor: Dr. Leanne Son Hing University of Guelph, 2019 Inequality in our society has been shown to have a negative effect on social, health and well-being outcomes, but inequality in the workplace is much less understood (Magee & Galinsky, 2008). Although perfect equality of distributions in the workplace is neither practical nor desirable, too much inequality of job resources (aspects of work that are needed to do one’s job or contribute to personal development) and job demands (aspects of work that require sustained effort) can lead to negative outcomes for both employees and organizations. The main purpose of this dissertation is to build a theory of workplace inequality, identify factors that feed into it, and explore what its consequences are. To explore how employees understand and make sense of the inequality they perceive in the workplace, I conducted qualitative interviews with 30 medical faculty at a pediatric health sciences centre. The purpose of the interviews was to determine which resource and demand inequalities are most important in the workplace, how employees judge the legitimacy of the inequality they perceive, and the valence of their attitudes towards it. In order to draw more general conclusions beyond individual participants’ experiences, I conducted a thematic analysis of the data. I supplemented this analysis with a matrix analysis to determine whether those higher in the hierarchy perceived or reacted to workplace inequality differently than those lower in the hierarchy. There were several resource inequalities that participants were particularly sensitive to, including research and clinical equipment, administrative support, training opportunities, formal recognition, and the leadership of division heads. On the demand inequalities side, participants were sensitive to scheduling flexibility, clinical workload, conflict climate, and the pressure to perform academically. The matrix analysis showed that even though participants at all levels felt affected by inequality, those at the bottom of the hierarchy perceived more inequality and were more negative towards it than those at the top. Participants also reacted more negatively towards inequality among individuals compared to inequality among divisions, and resource inequality compared with demand inequality. Implications of these findings for theory, practice, and future research are discussed.
Improving Postgraduates’ Academic Writing Skills with Summarizing Strategy

Writing is one of the essential poles of language learning, and should be one of the senior interest, and concern to teachers, students, and researchers. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of using the summarizing strategy on postgraduates 'learners. To develop the summary writing skills, two months implementation is applied to twenty Iraqi postgraduates 'learners, who are studying English as a foreign language (EFL) . The participants were from two departments in the college of political sciences at A-Nahrain University, Iraq, during the academic year 2018-2019. It was carried out in a single-group pre-post-test model only. A pre-test on summary writing conducted to participants a week before the summarizing strategy applied. The experimental process of the study lasted eight weeks, where the participants received 16 treatment sessions. Five different passages choose from their textbook (Headway for Academic Skills Level3), which was recommended by the university. The selected written passage for post-test was "globalization. " The participants asked to summarize the passage within 45 minutes according to the new strategy. Data of the summary written test collected, and scored according to the five criteria such as; (grammar, vocabulary, organizing, content, and coherence). The findings of the study indicated that the summarizing strategy has a significant effect on postgraduates' learners in academic writing skills, so it is recommended that this strategy be applied in the curriculum of our schools and universities.
Saward’s Concept of the Representative Claim Revisited: An Empirical Perspective

Representation is a process of making, accepting, or rejecting representative claims (Disch, 2015; Saward, 2014). This groundbreaking insight challenged the standard assumption that representative democracy can be reduced to elections and activities of elected representatives (Pitkin, 1967). It broadened the scope of representative democracy to encompass representation activities beyond those authorized by elections, transformed our thinking and provided a new perspective, putting claims and their reception into the center. This paradigm shift erased the distinction between elected and non-elected representatives and disclosed the potential of non-elected actors’ claims to represent (Andeweg, 2003; Kuyper, 2016; Rosanvallon & Goldhammer, 2008; Saward, 2006, 2009; Van Biezen & Saward, 2008). In spite of this lively debate, we identify an important gap in the literature: while this paradigmatic shift inspired many authors, conceptual frameworks that can be applied for systematic empirical analysis of real-life cases are missing. In this article, we fill this gap and propose frameworks for assessing and validating a variety of real-life claims. Our study provides empirical substance to the ongoing theoretical debates, helping to translate the mainly theoretical ‘claim approach’ into empirical research tools. It helps to transform the conventional wisdom about what representation can (not) be and shines a new light on the potential future of (claims on) representation.
Job Training Satisfaction: Exploring the Role of Attitudes and Expectations in the Saudi Context

A mixed methods strategy in this study explored the influence of trainees’ attitudes and expectations on training satisfaction in a case of job training in the public sector in Saudi Arabia. These relationships were mediated by the influence of the cultural impact of religion, social, employment, education, and economy. Employees from a specific public organisation were the participants of this study after finishing a training course in an external academic training department. The results showed the importance of trainees’ attitudes toward job commitment, work support, self-efficacy, and learning motivation in training satisfaction. Trainees’ expectations about job training also played a significant role in training satisfaction.
A descriptive study to assess the knowledge and attitude of primary school teachers regarding learning disabilities among children in selected schools of district Pulwama Kashmir

Introduction: In India, around 13-14% of all school children suffer from learning disorders. Unfortunately, most schools fail to lend a sympathetic ear to their problems. As a result, these children are branded as failures. The study was conducted with the aim to identify and analyse the knowledge and attitude of primary school teachers regarding learning disabilities among children in selected schools of district Pulwama Kashmir. Identifying the knowledge and attitude of school teachers will help to assess degree of awareness about learning disability among primary school teachers and the attitude they show towards learning disabled children so that recommendation can be made to arrange a special training programme to educate the teachers regarding identification and management of learning disabilities. Materials and Methods: Quantitative descriptive design was used to assess the knowledge and attitude of primary school teachers regarding learning disabilities among children in selected schools of district Pulwama. Convienient sampling technique was used to collect data from teachers who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data was collected using self-administered Structured knowledge questionnaire and Attitude scale. The tool was validated by 11 experts. Reliability of the tool was established by using karl pearson’s correlation coefficient (“ r” = 0.83). Pilot study was conducted on 6 teachers in government boys primary school, poochal pulwama. The main study was conducted on 60 primary school teachers from 8 selected schools at district pulwam from 16-11-15 to 05-12-15. Ethical clearance was obtained and study was found ethically exempted. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The result of the study revealed that majority of teachers 73.3% had moderate knowledge on learning disability, 20.0% had inadequate knowledge regarding learning disability and only 6.7% teachers had adequate knowledge on the subject. Also, majorit
