Bu çalışma, altıncı sınıf fen bilimleri dersi yazılı sınav sorularının yeniden yapılandırılmış Bloom taksonomisine göre değerlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma desenlerinden durum çalışmasından yararlanılmıştır. Veri toplama yöntemi olarak doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, İç Anadolu bölgesinde yer alan küçük ölçekli bir ilin merkezinde görev yapan 13 fen bilimleri öğretmeni tarafından altıncı sınıfta öğrenim görmekte olan öğrenciler için hazırlanmış olan toplam 26 adet sınav kağıdı oluşturmaktadır. Birinci yazılı sınavında 278, ikinci yazlı sınavında 265 olmak üzere toplam 543 sınav sorusu incelenmiş olup, yeniden yapılandırılmış Bloom taksonomisine göre analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma verileri betimsel istatistiklerden faydalanarak hesaplanmış olup, elde edilen veriler tablo ve grafiklere aktarılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda yazılı sorularının çoğunun yenilenmiş Bloom taksonomisinin bilişsel süreç boyutu olan hatırlama ve anlama seviyesinde, bilgi boyutunda ise soruların çoğunlukla olgusal bilgi düzeyinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sorulan soruların genel anlamda çoktan seçmeli sınavlardan oluştuğu görülmektedir. Yazılı kağıtlarında öğrencilerin üst düzey becerilerini ortaya çıkaran açık uçlu soruların yetersizliği dikkat çekmektedir. Öğretmenlerin sıklıkla boşluk doldurma, eşleştirme ve doğru yanlış tipi sorulara sınavlarında yer verdikleri görülmüştür.

Türkçe günümüzde Türkiye’de ve dünyanın farklı yerlerinde, farklı özelliklere sahip hedef kitleler tarafından öğrenilmektedir. Bu kapsamda Suriyeliler de ülkelerinde başlayan iç savaştan kaçarak Türkiye’ye sığınmışlar ve Türkçe öğrenen hedef kitlelerden biri olmuşlardır. Türkiye’ye sığınan Suriyeli mültecilerin en yoğun olduğu iller ise sırası ile Kilis, Hatay, Gaziantep, Şanlıurfa ve Mersindir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı hem standart Türkçeden uzak yerel ağız özelliklerinin baskın olarak kullanıldığı hem de Suriyeli mültecilerin yoğun olarak yaşadığı illerde Türkçe öğrenen mültecilerin öğrenim süreçlerinde ve onlara Türkçe öğretiminde karşılaşılan durumları öğretmenlerin görüşleri çerçevesinde tespit ederek çözüm önerileri sunmaktır. Bu nedenle nitel bir araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan olgubilim ile desenlenmiş çalışmada, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler betimsel analiz yapılarak çözümlenmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerden hareketle sınıftaki bütün öğrencilerin Arapça bilmelerinin onlara Türkçe öğretimi sürecinde hem olumlu ve olumsuz yönlerinin olduğu, öğrencilerin yaşadıkları illerde halkın Arapça bilmesinin ve Suriyelilerin o bölgede yoğun olmalarının öğrencilerin derslerde öğrendiklerini dışarıda pratiğe dönüştürebilecek imkânların az olmasına neden olduğu, bu durumun da öğrencilerin Türkçe öğrenme sürecini olumsuz anlamda etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada ayrıca öğrencilerin yaşadıkları ile ait ağız özelliklerini Türkçe konuşmalarında yansıttıkları ve bunun da öğrencilerin Türkçe telaffuzlarına olumsuz etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Published: June 2020

Bu çalışmada fen bilimleri öğretmen adaylarının STEM alanlarına yönelik tutumları ile STEM öğretimine yönelik bakış açısı, özgüven ve amaçları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın örneklemi 2018-2019 bahar döneminde Ege Bölgesindeki devlet üniversitelerinin fen bilimleri eğitimi anabilim dalında eğitim gören 489 üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencileri rastgele seçilerek oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmada veri toplamak için daha önce yazarlar tarafından geliştirilen STEM alanlarına yönelik tutum ve STEM öğretimine yönelik tutum ölçekleri kullanılmıştır (Keleş, Kiremit ve Aktamış, 2017). Öğretmen adaylarının STEM’e yönelik tutumlarının STEM öğretimine yönelik tutumlarını nasıl etkilediğini belirlemek için LISREL 8.30 (Jöreskog ve Sörbom, 2006) programı SIMPLIS komut diliyle kullanılarak ve “en yüksek olabilirlik” metodu kullanılarak yol analizi yapılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, STEM öğretimine yönelik özgüven tutumlarının fene yönelik tutum, teknolojiye yönelik tutum, matematiğe yönelik tutum ve mühendisliğe yönelik tutum ile direkt olarak pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki gösterdiği bulunmuştur. STEM öğretimine yönelik bakış açısının ise fene yönelik tutum ve matematiğe yönelik tutum ile direkt olarak pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. STEM öğretimine yönelik amaçlarının STEM öğretimine yönelik özgüven tutum ve STEM öğretimine yönelik bakış açısı ile direkt olarak pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. STEM öğretimine yönelik amaçlarının fene yönelik tutum, teknolojiye yönelik tutum, matematiğe yönelik tutum ve mühendisliğe yönelik tutum ile dolaylı olarak pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. STEM eğitiminin sınıf içerisinde başarılı şekilde uygulanabilmesi, öğretmenlerin bu alanlara yönelik duyuşsal durumlarına da bağlıdır. Bu nedenle onların STEM öğretimine yönelik amaçlarını arttırmaya yönelik araştırmaların yapılması önemlidir.

A genre analysis of research article ‘findings and discussion’ sections written by Indonesian undergraduate EFL students
Authors: Suherdi Didi , Kurniawan Eri , Lubis Arif Husein
Published: June 2020

The quality of findings and discussion (FD) section in a research article is crucial to elucidate the results of a particular inquiry and to situate the significance of the results in the body of knowledge through publications in scientific journals. Previous academic genre analysis has generated several models to help novice writers develop the rhetorical moves of the FD sections across disciplines. However, the study on the quality of the rhetorical moves in the undergraduate EFL students’ research articles is still scarce. Hence, this study seeks to examine the manifestation of rhetorical moves in the findings and discussion sections written by Indonesian undergraduate EFL students. A total of 113 unpublished ELT research articles from a state educational university in Bandung was selected as the target corpus. AntMover 1.10 was employed as the analysis tool. The top-down approach was carried out to obtain the existing rhetorical structure using Ruiying and Allison’s (2003) framework as the guideline. The bottom-up approach was used to scrutinize the linguistic realizations of the rhetorical moves. The findings demonstrated that, in the move level, most of the students’ FD sections had manifested the four moves, i.e., providing background information, reporting results, summarizing results, and commenting on results. However, in the step level, a number of FD sections did not provide detailed information regarding the sequence of the findings presentation, the analysis procedure to obtain the findings, the explanation for the findings, and the highlight of the significance of the findings. The randomized rhetorical patterns were also dominant. It can downgrade the clarity and rigor of the FD sections. Despite that, the linguistic realizations of the moves, particularly the tense and sentence voice, mostly conformed to the norms. The findings may serve as a reference to develop the teaching materials of English for research publication purposes (ERPP).
A model of the factors predicting English language teacher immunity: A path analysis
Authors: Rahimpour Hadi , Amirian Seyed Mohammad Reza , Adel Seyed Mohammad Reza , Zareian Gholam Reza
Published: June 2020

Language teacher immunity, recently put forth by Hiver and Dornyei (2015), refers to “a robust armoring system that emerges in response to high-intensity threats and allows teachers to maintain professional equilibrium and instructional effectiveness” (Hiver, 2017, p. 669). Due to the pure novelty of this construct, its significance to the practice of teaching and rarity of research on it, the present study aimed to develop a model on the predictors of this newly-developed concept. Based on the theories in the related literature, a model was proposed in which four traits of six HEXACO personality traits, job insecurity, and reflective teaching were considered as predicting factors. Through running Path Analysis using AMOS with Maximum Likelihood Estimate on the quantitative data obtained from 483 English language teachers from Iran, a revised model was obtained in which agreeableness, extroversion and emotionality were proved to have effects on language teacher immunity indirectly through job insecurity and reflective teaching which had direct effects on it. The strongest paths were from Job Insecurity (JI) to Reflective Teaching (RT) and Language Teacher Immunity (LTI) with considerable negative regression weights meaning that JI can have negative effects on both of them. The findings of the current research provide implications for both teachers and teacher trainers, highlighting the predictors of teacher immunity.
A corpus-based lexical analysis of Indonesian English as a new variety
Authors: Endarto Ignatius Tri
Published: June 2020

The fact that English has been embraced globally by most countries as a second language has prompted its adoption in various media, such as television and newspaper. As a language is adopted by a community of non-native speakers, a new variety of it tends to emerge due to the influence of the linguistic features of those non-native speakers’ arterial language. In Indonesia, where English is spoken as a second or foreign language, there has been a growing number of newspapers published in it. Along with the trend of world Englishes, this raises a question about the possibility of a new variety called Indonesian English. Even though more and more Indonesian teachers start to realize that the goal of English language teaching is no longer to imitate native speakers’ variety, there is still little research done on the topic of Indonesian English. For that reason, by collecting online data from an English language newspaper published in the country, this research identified the lexical characteristics of English variety used by educated Indonesians. It is basically a corpus-based lexical study that employed Corpus Pattern Analysis (CPA) to describe contextualized data gathered from the online newspaper. The focuses of this study were contextual information about loanwords, word meanings, word forms, and collocations, which are pertinent to the Indonesian variety of English. The findings indicated that the lexical characteristics of Indonesian English could be categorized into roughly four groups, namely: Indonesian-origin loanwords, Indonesian English lexicon resulting from semantic shifts and those from morphological shifts, as well as Indonesian English collocations. By doing so, it is expected that this research can provide a theoretical basis for English teachers in Indonesia to embrace an English-as-a-lingua-franca approach in their instructions and anticipate a new variety that might exist in the future: Indonesian English.

Published: June 2020

This paper investigates the implementation of constructivist learning, as it was practiced by five EFL teachers at a vocational high school in Indonesia. We offer a ‘mentoring program’ for teachers to support each other and provide resources that are bottom-up, free, and relevant, conducted in a collegial atmosphere. We adopted a qualitative approach as it enabled us to understand and cultivate deeper the learning process that occurred in the classroom. Data were qualitatively collected and analyzed in two ways. First, it focused on the participants’ interview, observation, self-reflection and discussion on the variables in the mentoring program covering the need and expectation of EFL teachers in the formal pedagogical setting, sources of teachers’ resistance to participate in Teacher Professional Development (TPD) program, the impact of TPD program on the teacher pedagogical competence, and conditions contributing to sustainable development as a result in the TPD program. Second, it was to disclose the researchers’ viewpoints and reflections under variables, as stated in the earlier analysis. Our research findings suggested that constructivist-learning practices were proven to be successful in helping the teachers experienced promising mentoring progress of TPD. Teachers and students underwent a significant change as the learning activities became more engaging and fun. Teachers confessed to have their pedagogical knowledge and practice expanded while having their attitude and mindset shifted after going through a series of activities inside the mentoring program. The program was central in nurturing teachers’ self-identity and helping them overcome their internal blocks. In the longer-term, this program contributes to developing teacher professionalism as they started to see the potentials and positives impacts of TPD programs.
Malaysian high schoolers’ reading literacy performance: Trends and patterns across states

Published: June 2020

Reading literacy is often understood as a basic skill, and it is gaining recognition as the most functional means to educational attainment and individual development. It not only sets a benchmark but also reveals students’ strengths and weaknesses through performance measurement. This paper attempts to investigate sixteen-year-olds’ reading literacy proficiency using a performance band system in reporting their ‘can’s and ‘cant’s in reading. It drew insights from the Text-Task Respondent Theory of Functional Literacy (White, 2011) and the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (Anderson Krathwohl, 2001), where pertinent concepts were drawn to address students’ functional abilities. The study involved a total of 813 sixteen-year-old students representing the northern, southern, central, and east coast regions of Peninsular Malaysia (Penang, Perak, Perlis, Selangor, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Johor). A survey research method was employed to capture cognitive competencies that denoted students’ functional abilities when it came to reading literacy. The study measured the students’ reading literacy attainment based on a proficiency scale spanning on five-band levels. The findings of the present study revealed that the majority of the students attained Band 3, where they demonstrated a moderate understanding of texts and were able to integrate some part of texts to infer meaning. The study provides valuable insights to policymakers, educationists, employers in making data-driven decisions to improve educational outcomes. It also attempts to shed some light on the current pedagogical trends and provide suggestive practices in reading.
Phonetic realisations of Madurese vowels and their implications for the Madurese vowel system
Authors: Misnadin M.
Published: June 2020

It has been suggested that Madurese has eight surface vowels [a, ɛ, ə, ɔ, ɤ, i, ɨ, u], but there have been disagreements with regard to the number of its vowel phonemes. The disagreements arise partly because some scholars base their analyses of Madurese vowels on phonetic grounds while others base them on certain phonological analyses. Besides, some researchers do not consider native versus non-native Madurese words in their analyses. The paper addresses these problems by incorporating both phonetic and phonological analyses in order to provide a better description of Madurese vowels. To achieve this, we investigated the acoustic realisations of the eight surface vowels by looking at the first and second formant frequencies (F1 and F2) of the high and non-high vowel pairs (i ~ ɛ, ɨ ~ ə, ɤ ~ a, u ~ ɔ). Fifteen speakers of Madurese were recorded reading Madurese words put in a carrier phrase. All segmentations were done employing Praat, and F1 and F2 values were extracted using a Praat script. The data were assessed with a linear mixed-effects model accounting for variation due to both random and fixed factors. The results showed that all high and non-high vowel pairs significantly differed in their F1 values. However, the results for F2 values showed variations; only the pair [ɨ ~ ə] showed a significant difference at vowel onset and at vowel midpoint the pairs [i ~ ɛ] and [ɨ ~ ə] were significantly different. Furthermore, we also looked at the vowels [ɤ] and [ɨ] as well as [ɤ] and [ə] to see if they differed in their F1 and F2 values. Our results confirmed that at both vowel onset and midpoint, they were significantly different. The results were discussed employing phonological analysis and vowel dispersion theory. The result of the analyses suggests that Madurese should be best described as a language with a four-vowel system and further offers a solution to the disagreements on the number of vowel phonemes in Madurese
Problems following topic shift in interactions with repaired cleft children
Authors: Saad Mohammad Azannee , Jariah Mohd Jan , Wahid Ridwan
Published: June 2020

Children with a history of cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) can experience a range of difficulties such as sound articulation errors and reduced psychosocial functioning. This causes interaction with them to contain more frequent communication breakdowns than non-cleft children. The present study shows evidence of such breakdowns involving topic shifts in the interaction between parents and their repaired CL/P children. Interactional data were obtained through a series of recordings of three parent-child sets. The process is guided by the framework of Conversation Analysis (CA) while coding of topic shift adopts Crow’s typology (1983). Findings show that topic shift during interaction can indeed cause problems for children with a history of cleft, especially involving palatal cleft. Specifically, through the children’s repair initiations, the problems are manifest when a topic is introduced once the previous topic concludes, when a topic is extended and when a topic is revisited. This study shows that topic shift can potentially be a source of problems to CL/P children. Findings are useful for speech therapists, parents and teachers.
Addressing challenges in the practice of critical literacy in EFL classrooms: A new framework
Authors: Novianti Nita , Thomas Angela , To Vinh
Published: June 2020

The practice of critical literacy in EFL contexts answers the need for EFL pedagogy that considers the complex social and political dimensions of foreign language learning. Many teachers are still discouraged from practicing critical literacy due to the many challenges they encounter.  In this paper, we outline a practical framework that can help teachers navigate the complexity of practicing critical literacy in EFL contexts.  The framework consists of four resources of critical literacy practice, namely curriculum and standards, students’ experiences and background, local social issues, and text selection.  The classroom activities include text analysis and critique, bridging the word and the world, and social action. Particular issues in EFL pedagogy are addressed with implications for the practice of critical literacy.
“I start learning English through speaking”: Social agency demand and inter-school readiness for Indonesian young English learners
Authors: Setyarini Sri , Musthafa Bachrudin , Muslim Ahmad Bukhori
Published: June 2020

Preserving Indonesian as a national identity and institutional readiness to perform the national curriculum 2013 instruction has become a critical factor in the exclusion of English as a compulsory subject at the elementary school level. This leaves rooms for teachers’ confusion and creativity, leading to various practices at different school clusters, depending on parental demands and school readiness. This study thus tries to cast light on the social agency demand and inter-school readiness for young learners in the Indonesian EFL pedagogical contexts. This instrumental case study portrays the practices of English language teaching at three clusters of Indonesian primary schools; local, national, and independent, as well as responses of parents and students to these practices. Involving 4-6 grade students and English teachers of six primary schools, the data were garnered through classroom observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings revealed that although teaching English to young learners is somehow communicative and fun, it more emphasises  literacy skills (reading, writing, and grammar), particularly at local schools as the majority cluster across the country. Since English is a non-phonetic language, this literacy-focused practice is rather contradictory to what parents as social agencies expect, that is, to develop their children’s English oral proficiency. The study also offers ways by which teachers and schools can accommodate this social agency’s needs for speaking skills by focusing more on student-centred and oral English proficiency activities and assessment.
Indonesian students’ perceived benefits of the micro-teaching course to their teaching internship
Authors: Zulfikar Teuku , Nidawati N. , Khasinah Siti , Mayangsari Indah
Published: June 2020

This study aims to explore student-teachers’ perceptions of the benefits of micro-teaching class they have attended to their teaching internship. It also seeks to identify the most and the least likely aspects of teaching which have been sufficiently covered in the micro-teaching course. The participants of this study were ten senior EFL students at a State Islamic University in Indonesia who have taken a micro-teaching class and teaching internship program. The data from interviews and students’ written narratives reveal that these students perceive the micro-teaching class to be sufficiently helpful in their teaching internship phase. These students developed their basic pedagogical skills. They become more confident; develop communication skills, and most importantly, the micro-teaching class has helped them develop questioning skills. However, students’ interviews and written narratives also indicate that management skills, such as classroom and time management, and skills to write lesson plan are the least likely aspect of teaching covered during the micro-teaching class, which then become obstacles for them during their teaching internship.

Authors: Borja de Freitas George , Gomes de Morais Silva Pierre , Almeida dos Santos Jalber , Coutinho Manhães Júnior Luiz Roberto , Bernardon Paula
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Dental surgeries involving structures adjacent to the mandibular canal require greater knowledge of the intraosseous path, anatomical structure, and its variables, reducing the risk of injuries to this region. This research aimed to verify on the panoramic radiographs the anatomical characteristics of the mandibular canal, as well as to analyze and classify its pathways.Methods: The classification of anatomical variations of the mandibular canal was divided into four types: Class A (inferior direction); Class B (mesial direction); Class C (alveolar direction); and Class D (retromolar direction). The sample consisted of 500 exams, 207 (41.4%) males and 293 (58.6%) females, with a mean age of 29.51 years.Results: A prevalence of 30 anatomical variations of the mandibular canal was observed. The most prevalent classifications were Class B (43.6%) followed by Class C (23.1%) and D (33.3%). In no case was the presence of bifid canals classified as Class A. The anatomical variations of the mandibular canal appeared both unilaterally and bilaterally, in which unilaterally the prevalence was on the left side (50%), on the right side (20%), and bilaterally (30%).Conclusions: According to the results obtained in this study, a prevalence of 6% of bifid mandibular canals was found. The most prevalent types of the bifid canal were Class B and Class D, and the highest occurrence of bifid mandibular canals was left unilateral. It is concluded that the appearance of mandibular canal anatomical variations in panoramic radiographs is frequent and that additional care must be taken to approach the region.

Die zunehmende Verzahnung verschiedener Fachdisziplinen bei der Entwicklung von Produktionssystemen erfordert ein interdisziplinäres Datenformat, das einen konsistenten Informationsaustausch ermöglicht. Hierfür hat sich AutomationML als Datenaustauschformat etabliert, jedoch existieren derzeit kaum Import- und Exportschnittstellen in industriell eingesetzten MCAD-Werkzeugen. In diesem Beitrag wird eine prototypische Implementierung einer solchen Schnittstelle für Creo Parametric vorgestellt, die vor allem durch eine Reduzierung des Konstruktionsaufwands überzeugt.
Asperger's syndrome. Characteristics and educational factors
Authors: Zamora López Pilar
Published: June 2020

Asperger's syndrome is diagnosed according to several behavioral patterns grouped together as diagnostic criteria. Behind the peculiar nature of each individual are underlying fixed cognitive aspects. This reflection examines the different cognitive mechanisms that are part of the teaching and learning process, which may constitute the essential aspects of this disorder. It discusses how mind theory, empathy, cognitive functioning, and executive functions affect the teaching and learning process. It also discusses the role that the integration of these students within the classroom plays, as well as the role played by the teacher within it. Our goal will be to inform the different groups about this syndrome, in addition to raising awareness that it is not a disease but a condition of life, in order to enable these people to adapt and develop in today's world.
Diagnóstico sobre la Atención a la Diversidad Estudiantil en Danza en Educación Superior
Authors: Avila García Yeny , Herrera Meza Sergio Raúl
Published: June 2020

La inclusión en el ámbito educativo de la danza es un tema controversial y sensible que manifiesta lo complejo que resulta brindar atención a la diversidad en el ámbito dancístico. El objetivo fue realizar un diagnóstico de la percepción que tienen los estudiantes de danza sobre la diversidad para conocer qué tanta disposición existe hacia la diversidad. Participaron 453 estudiantes de danza procedentes de cuatro universidades de México. Se aplicó el Cuestionario para Evaluar la Atención a la Diversidad Estudiantil en Danza (CEADED), se comprobó su nivel de confiabilidad y consistencia interna, se llevó a cabo un análisis de las frecuencias y porcentajes, y se utilizó la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis. Los resultados muestran una fuerte tendencia a la confusión, la indecisión y el rechazo de la diversidad. En este sentido, se concluye que se requiere la disposición de todos los protagonistas del mundo dancístico, especialmente el sector más joven para empujar cambios desde abajo que permitan modificar la cultura de las universidades mexicanas hacia un desarrollo serio de las prácticas inclusivas. Además, sería interesante conocer la disposición que tiene la sociedad hacia la diversidad en danza.
A inclusão do processo de formação inicial docente em grupos sociais e relações interpessoais
Authors: Pereira Ramos Daniela Cristina
Published: June 2020

Neste trabalho, tratamos de conceitos aparentemente pouco problemáticos: os conceitos de grupos e relações interpessoais atrelados ao processo de formação docente inicial, portanto encontramos em diferentes autores dos campos da educação, ciências sociais e psicologia abordagens sociais e multiculturais consensuais sobre a formação e consolidação da docência no interior de grupos sociais. Dessa forma por meio das discussões realizadas evidencia-se que o processo de formação inicial docente ocorre em meio as relações interpessoais, estas constituídas no interior dos diversos grupos sociais como o familiar, religioso, institucional, político entre outros. Contudo, tendo enquanto base a reflexão efetivada conclui-se que o processo de formação docente objetiva formar-se tanto no interior das relações e grupos como também é constituído por relações interpessoais, refletir sobre essas relações são uma forma de contribuir para a construção de uma educação inclusiva, bem como a organização de práticas e processos já consolidados, pois tais atividades do exercício da docência apenas se consolidam de maneira positiva se houver o olhar para o “outro” demarcado por inclusões de alteridade, e acolhimento às diferenças em um processo de escuta de si.
Media Coverage and Perceived Policy Influence of Environmental Actors: Good Strategy or Pyrrhic Victory?
Authors: Howe Adam C. , Stoddart Mark C. J. , Tindall David B.
Published: June 2020

In this article we analyze how media coverage for environmental actors (individual environmental activists and environmental movement organizations) is associated with their perceived policy influence in Canadian climate change policy networks. We conceptualize media coverage as the total number of media mentions an actor received in Canada’s two main national newspapers—the Globe and Mail and National Post. We conceptualize perceived policy influence as the total number of times an actor was nominated by other actors in a policy network as being perceived to be influential in domestic climate change policy making in Canada. Literature from the field of social movements, agenda setting, and policy networks suggests that environmental actors who garner more media coverage should be perceived as more influential in policy networks than actors who garner less coverage. We assess support for this main hypothesis in two ways. First, we analyze how actor attributes (such as the type of actor) are associated with the amount of media coverage an actor receives. Second, we evaluate whether being an environmental actor shapes the association between media coverage and perceived policy influence. We find a negative association between media coverage and perceived policy influence for individual activists, but not for environmental movement organizations. This case raises fundamental theoretical questions about the nature of relations between media and policy spheres, and the efficacy of media for signaling and mobilizing policy influence.

Nationalist discourse has been identified as a driving factor in the causal chain linking democratization to the likelihood of ethnic conflicts, due to its nature of polarizing us against others along ethnic lines. However, we lack systematic knowledge of the structure and dynamics of this polarization. Adding to the established practices of analysing in-group/out-group divisions in ideological and political discourses, this article proposes an innovative way of measuring the divisiveness of nationalist discourse using social network analysis. Instead of looking at direct nationalist interaction between actors, deeper discursive structures are found by analysing indirect relationships across actors, based on their nationalist interaction with third parties. In this manner, it is possible to identify whether certain actors form structurally similar clusters, based on whom they direct their nationalist appeals to, how intense these appeals are towards specific actors, and what other groups they are targeted by themselves. By applying the measure of Structural Equivalence to the original data on nationalist appeals obtained from the quantitative content analysis of the Georgian print media across the 20 years of its democratization (1991–2012), this article shows that the actor structure of nationalist discourse conveys information on group polarization. Further, it demonstrates that the divisiveness of this discourse in Georgia became sharper during electoral periods, with the first two elections after independence being particularly dangerous in this regard.

Multiple crises in the EU have sparked a renaissance of the concept of solidarity. However, discursive approaches to solidarity and the public understanding of solidarity have hardly received scholarly attention. Empirical research on solidarity is rather centered on welfare institutions as well as on individual attitudes and behavior. To shed new light on solidarity in public discourse, we investigate in which policy fields the term is most often used, which actors refer to it and how different types of solidarity are covered in the German public discourse. We investigate the coverage of solidarity in four German newspapers (Die Welt, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Die Tageszeitung) from 2008 to 2017. By deploying the discourse network methodology with 306 claims in 230 news articles, we analyze the co-occurrence of actors and issues over time. Our results indicate a varying set of issues in which solidarity occurs, a rather stable actor visibility, across time and a context-dependent use of different types of solidarity. Government actors, civil society actors as well as citizens drive the solidarity discourse showing that institutional as well as non-institutional actors make use of solidarity in their public actions regarding political protest, financial issues and migration. The study provides novel insights into the interdependence of actor and issue visibility and sheds new light on solidarity in media discourses.
CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN THE MILIEU OF UKRAINIAN POST-WAR EMIGRATION: THE EXPERIENCE OF THE UKRAINIAN ART MOVEMENT (1945–1948)
Authors: Denysiuk Serhiy

The history of Ukraine has got many examples of how different personalities were able to unite and direct their efforts in meaningful way for higher purpose. One of such interesting pages is an activity of Ukrainian Art movement (UAM) –unification of Ukrainian writers in emigration, who after the end of World War II turned up in camps for displaced persons in Germany and Austria. The leadership of union helped to create such climate in the organization that would maximize imaginative work and minimize confrontational points among its members. The peculiar quality check of the organization and its ability to withstand the devastating tendencies was a debate in UAM about relevant problems of searching for ways of development Ukrainian culture in emigration conditions. Its starting point was Y. Shevelov`s report «The styles of contemporary Ukrainian literature in emigration» (1945), which he pronounced at the First congress of organization. The reviewer proclaimed the mission of new organization - to create a nationwide and a sub-region writing, which can reach worldwide recognition. The main direction of its development Y. Shevelov determined the creation of deeply peculiar Ukrainian literary style. The idea of national-organic style has caused mixed reactions and criticism in the Ukrainian emigration environment. The national-organic style does not anticipate a forced imposition on his writers. This style does not mean an isolation of narrow national limits and departure from European influences and traditions. It includes only blind copying borrowed samples. Supplemented the concept of Y. Shevelov with his ideas such persons as I. Bagryany, Y. Kosach, I.Kosteckii and other representatives of UAM`s, who defended national origin in literature. The most irreconcilable opponent of Y. Shevelov and his theory of national-organic style became a literary scholar, critic, translator V. Derzhavin. There were several reasons for the conflict between these creative personalities among which, in particular, differences between generations, to which they belong. In the modern scientific literature one can come across for approval that a deepening conflict between Y. Shevelov and V. Derzhavin led to the split and termination of the organization activity. Such an estimate is untrue, because the real reason for the termination of the organization was hold at the 1948 a monetary reform in Germany and mass departure of Ukrainian emigrants from displaced persons camps to the other countries of the world. Well, conflicts, which took place in the history of Ukrainian Art Movement, did not lead to the division of the organization into hostile camps, as its members were united by the common purpose of creating new Ukrainian literature, that would take a worthy place in the world culture.

In the proposed article, on the example of the revolutionary events of 1917-1921 in Kharkiv Government, the interconnection between internal political stability and the solution of the land issue is shown. The object of the study is agrarian question as a conflict factor, which made the relations between the authorities and the population of the region more complicated. Having gained the control over the region the opposing governments had to solve not only military but also economic questions. The most difficult problem was to address the agrarian issue, as well as to determine the governments’ share in the total volume of production grown by the peasantry. To solve these problems the political regimes combined repressive actions, methods of encouraging local people’s collaboration, and information warfare. Despite the lack of the Ukrainian national political regimes’ support the agrarian population of Kharkiv Government resisted the «White» and «Red» terror and policy of War Communism. The most common forms of resistance of the peasantry in Kharkiv region were: illegal active struggle (armed uprisings, creation of rebel forces, terrorist acts), illegal passive struggle (desertion, concealment of food, sabotage of duties), legal active struggle (village meetings, peasant conferences) and legal passive struggle (refusal to work in local authorities, unwillingness to join the political party). In summing up authors pointed out that the conflict factors in the region included: the frequent change of the military-political situation, lack of reliable information in the countryside, popularity of Utopian ideas among the masses, food confiscations, terror of the repressive bodies, and spontaneity of the peasant rebellion movement.
THE ORIGINS OF CORRUPTION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE SOVIET PAST (EXAMPLE OF BELARUS)
Authors: Pushkin Ihar
Published: June 2020

Using the example of the BSSR the article analyzes the historical background of corruption and abuse of power in modern society. Mistakes and shortcomings in the personnel policy of the party-state leadership of Soviet Belarus are shown. The failure of economic policy is stated to have been caused by a number of objective and subjective factors including imperfection of the personnel selection system, weakening of state and labor discipline, spread of drunkenness and alcoholism, theft of state and public property. It is noted that in the 1970-1980s the number of embezzlement and misappropriations, the facts of using one's official position for personal enrichment did not steadily decline but increased, which resulted in great material damage to the national economy. A feature of that period was the fact that the facts of organized and corrupt crime were revealed in the USSR and Belarus. The most notorious cases: the numeral facts of venality by the officials of housing-departments of the Minsk district executive committee (1970), larcenies and abuses in the consumer cooperation in BSSR, especially in Orsha, where the high-level heads of Vitebsk Regional executive committee and Orsha district executive committee as well as some other authority members were involved into official corruption (1973). The negative tendencies of abuse took place also among Party’s and Soviet leaders: in Vitebsk Region during 1975-1980 more than 100 authority members were penalized for different cases of abuse; in 1981 138 heads were brought to responsibility. All these facts caused social tension in the society, disaffection of the population with the activities of the authorities, government and militia of the republic. As a result, the party-state leadership lost its authority, which along with economic problems and contention in society led to the collapse of the USSR. It is concluded that numerous facts of upward distortions and fraud bring into question the reliability of reporting figures on the implementation of plans and programs for the economic development of the BSSR, and numerous modern conflicts in countries that formed the USSR arose in the Soviet past.
CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE BAPTIST MOVEMENT’S DIVISION IN UKRAINE
Authors: Vysoven Oksana
Published: June 2020

The article analyzes the causes and consequences of the split in the evangelical-Baptist environment in the 1960s; found that one of the main causes of the split in the bosom of evangelical Baptist Christians was the destructive influence of state authorities on religion in general, and Christian denominations in particular when initiated by state bodies of the union of Protestant religious communities under the auspices of the All-Union Baptist Council Church for organization under control of special services bodies; it has been proved that the conflicts between the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada and the Council of Churches were artificial. The confrontations among the believers were mainly provoked by SSC agents and secret services, and were only in the hands of the Communist Party regime, which helped him control events, pacify some and repress others; it is proved that under the influence of the movement for the independence of the church from the state headed by «initiators», the regime has been operating since the second half of the 1960s. gradually began to ease the pressure on officially registered communities of evangelical Baptist Christians. Prayer meetings began to be attended by teens, and ordinary members and members of other congregations were allowed to preach. As a result of these changes and some easing of tensions between the church and the government, many believers and congregations began to return to the official union governed by the ACEBC, without wishing further confrontation; it is shown that the internal church events of the 60's of the twentieth century, which were provoked by the SSC special services and led to the split of the EBC community, reflected on the position and activities of the EBC Church and in the period of independence of Ukraine, the higher leadership of the split community (the ACEBC and the Church Council) and could not reconcile and unite in a united union. This significantly weakens their spiritual position in today's globalized world, where cohesion and competitiveness play an important role.
