Oromo Folklore Manifested through Features of the Northern Ground-Hornbill in Ethiopia
Authors: Addisu Asefa  , Habte Jebessa Debella
Published: January 2025

Human cultures are co-evolved in association with attributes of biodiversity. This suggests that loss of a given species results in corresponding loss of cultural practices associated with that species. Consequently, it has been advocated for inclusion of cultural dimension of biodiversity to biodiversity conservation initiatives. However, studies investigating such human-animal interactions have been scanty. The objective of this article was to identify and interpret Oromo society’s oral folklore manifested through various features of the Northern Ground-Hornbill (NGH; Bucorvus abyssinicus) in Ethiopia. Data were obtained from social media text posts on a Facebook community page in response to a post of questions asking the name and cultural values of the NGH. A qualitative, thematic content analysis approach was used for data analysis. Three main themes (oral folklore genres) were emerged from the data that elucidated the uses of NGH in oral literature: poetry, fable story and children word game. A total of 12 oral folklore taxonomies (7 poems, 4 stories, and 1 children word game) were identified and described. The results showed that Oromo people use oral poetry related to the birds in their day-to-day life activities to express their beliefs, attitudes, feelings and other communal affairs. Oromo people also deliver, through fable stories, important lessons about life, nature, love, friendship, heroism, and morality. These findings demonstrate that NGH has significant cultural values to the Oromo society.
Special Economic Zones as Instruments of Industrial Policy: The Ethiopian Experience
Authors: Amanuel Tesfaye
Published: January 2025

Ethiopia has integrated Special Economic Zones (SEZs), named Industrial Parks, as the central element of its industrial policy over the past decade. This study investigates the Ethiopian experience with SEZs with a focus on the interaction of state actors with non -state actors including investors and labours in the development of its industrial parks. The central objective of the paper is to investigate how state actors and institutions evolved to shape and structure the deployment of Industrial Parks as an instrument of industrial policy in Ethiopia. The research is qualitative and based on secondary data and documentary evidence including published literature, government policy documents, legislations, regulations, and openly accessible information from local and international organizations. Process tracing is employed to systematically trace the evolution of policy, institutional, and regulatory frameworks. The primary finding of the study is that while the Ethiopian state has demonstrated considerable learning in the development of its industrial parks and managed to integrate the strategy well into its industrial policy, it lacks leverage over transnational capital to enforce technology transfer and create linkages within the local economy. This is compounded by a weak domestic private sector and disillusioned labour, which complicates efforts to improve productivity and foster local ownership. These two challenges might derail the effort to leverage industrial parks for broad-based transformation.

Male Seasonal Migration and Left-Behind Women: The Case of Guagusa Shekudad Woreda, Ethiopia
Authors: Zemenu Temesgen  , Getachew Senishaw  , Guday Emirie
Published: January 2025

This study was aimed at analysing the consequences of men’s seasonal labour migration on left-behind women in Guagusa Shekudad Woreda, Awi Zone, Amhara Region of Ethiopia. The study employed primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were collected through a combination of qualitative- ethnographic research methods involving in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and informal conversation. The ethnographic data were thematically organised and analysed by triangulating the various data sources to maintain the reliability and validity of the study findings. The study's findings showed that husbands' seasonal labour migration has empowering effects on the left-behind wives, leading to enhanced decision-making authority and improved socio-economic standing. Furthermore, the study indicated that husbands' seasonal migration influences the customary gender based division of labour  within migratory households.  In this particular context, the agricultural activities performed by the wives left behind expand to include tasks typically associated with men in society. This, in turn, generates a multitude of responsibilities and stress for the wives who are left behind. Overall, the study indicates that men's seasonal labour migration has both beneficial and detrimental effects on the women they leave behind. Nevertheless, the positive outcomes of men's seasonal work surpass the negative outcomes.

Random Deterministic Automata With One Added Transition
Authors: Carayol Arnaud , Duchon Philippe , Koechlin Florent , Nicaud Cyril
Published: January 2025

Every language recognized by a non-deterministic finite automaton can be recognized by a deterministic automaton, at the cost of a potential increase of the number of states, which in the worst case can go from $n$ states to $2^n$ states. In this article, we investigate this classical result in a probabilistic setting where we take a deterministic automaton with $n$ states uniformly at random and add just one random transition. These automata are almost deterministic in the sense that only one state has a non-deterministic choice when reading an input letter. In our model, each state has a fixed probability to be final. We prove that for any $d\geq 1$, with non-negligible probability the minimal (deterministic) automaton of the language recognized by such an automaton has more than $n^d$ states; as a byproduct, the expected size of its minimal automaton grows faster than any polynomial. Our result also holds when each state is final with some probability that depends on $n$, as long as it is not too close to $0$ and $1$, at distance at least $\Omega(\frac1{\sqrt{n}})$ to be precise, therefore allowing models with a sublinear number of final states in expectation.
Eğirdir Gölü’nün düdenleri: Göl çukurluğu bir polye mi?
Authors: Doğan Uğur , Şimşek Mesut , Akçay İbrahim , Koçyiğit Ali
Published: January 2025

Batı Toroslar’da, Göller Yöresi’nde yer alan göllerin bir kısmı tektono-karstik kökenli çukurluklar içerisinde oluşmuştur. Bu göllerin en büyüklerinden biri de Eğirdir Gölü’dür. Bu gölde son yıllarda meydana gelen seviye alçalması dikkat çekici boyutlara ulaşmıştır. Şimdiye kadar yapılan çalışmalarda da gölün batı kıyısında yer alan düdenler dikkati çekmemiş veya önemli ölçüde göz ardı edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ise Eğirdir Gölü’nün batı kıyısında 2024 yılı Eylül ayında ortaya çıkan Süpürge düdeninin jeomorfolojik-hidrolojik özelliklerini ortaya koymak ve Eğirdir Gölü çanağının göl suları altında kalmış eski bir polye olup olmadığını tartışmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tartışmada Göller Yöresi’ndeki polyelerin önemli bir kısmı da ele alınmıştır. Saha çalışmasına ek olarak, uydu ve drone görüntülerinden de faydalanılmıştır. Eğirdir Gölü’nün batı kenarında kireçtaşında gelişmiş yeraltı karst sistemleriyle ilişkili olarak gelişmiş olan düdenlerin faylar üzerinde sıralandığı belirlenmiştir. Göl seviyesinin alçalması sonucunda suların kıyıdaki göl çamurları içerisinde kaybolduğu Süpürge düdenin de bunlardan biri olduğu görülmüştür. Göl çanağının ise eski bir neotektonik-taban seviyesi polyesi olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

XX əsrin sonu və XXI əsrin başlanğıcında baş verən dəyişiklik və yeniləşmə prosesləri media aləmində daha çox hiss olundu. Jurnalistika, KİV sistemi yeni dövrə, yeni eraya keçdi. Məqalədə yeni əsrdə elektron jurnalistikanın yeni inkişaf dalğasına, elektron informasiya vasitələrinin digitallaşma prosesinə nəzər salınmışdır. Araşdırmada medianın yaradıcılıq xarakteri də dəyişilməsi, «məhəlli» jurnalistikada Qərb standartlarının formalaşması və tətbiq olunması təhlil edilmişdir. Beynəlxalq aləmdə transnasional mətbuatın, transnasional telesetlərin xarakterinə, onların hansı prinsiplərlə fəaliyyət göstərdiyi təhlilə cəlb etmək edilmişdir. Transnasional – qlobal telekanalların tipoloji xarakterinə və bu xarakteri formalaşdıran faktorlara diqqət edilmişdir. Çünki bu faktorların öyrənilməsi onların tətbiqinə və milli, məhəlli telekanalların beynəlxalq arenaya çıxmasına zəmin yarada bilər. Nəticə olaraq dünyanın informasiyaya möhtac olduğu dövrdə dünyanı məşğul edən, beynəlxalq mühitin maraq dairəsində olan informasiyaların əldə olunmasında və peşəkarlıqla ötürülməsində transmilli TV kanallarının çox ciddi yanaşdıqları bir fəaliyyət prinsipi olduğu qənaətinə gəlinmişdir.

Published: January 2025

Müasir dünya mediasında universallaşma, eyniləşmə prosesi getdikcə dərinləşir. Bu meyillər ilk növbədə beynəlxalq təşkilatların KİV və bütövlükdə informasiya sahəsində həyata keçirdikləri fəaliyyətlə bağlıdır. BMT, Avropa Şurası, ATƏT və digər dövlətlərarası təşkilatlar sistemli və məqsədyönlü şəkildə çoxsaylı media norma və prinsiplər hazırlayırlayıb dünya birliyinə təqdim edirlər və onların reallaşmasına çalışırlar. Qeyd etmək lazımdır ki, beynəlxalq təşkilatların müzakirəyə çıxarıb qəbul etdiyi ortaq dəyərlər özü-özlüyündə bir ideya xəzinəsidir və ondan yararlanmaq cəmiyyətin müasir inkişafına təkan verir. Ölkələr üçün tövsiyə və mütləq xarakterli olan qətnamə və qərarlar ümumbəşəri ideyaları özündə əks etdirməklə bərabər milli dəyərlərin qorunub saxlanmasını vacib hesab edir və bu prosesi dəstəkləyir. BMT və YUNESKO öz strukturlarında informasiya ilə iş üzrə çoxsaylı qurumlar yaratmışlar ki, bunlar bilavasitə KİV-in fəaliyyətini tənzimləyir və istiqamətləndirir. Bu baxımdan BMT-nin Düşüncə və İfadə azadlığı üzrə Xüsusi Məruzəçisi institutunun fəaliyyəti böyük əhəmiyyət kəsb edir. Hazırki dövrdə beynəlxalq təşkilatların əsas diqqəti media sahəsinə qair qəbul etdikləri qərarların dünyanın bütün bölgələrində reallaşmasına yönəlib.

Criminological and Linguistic Characteristics of the Slang of Convicts
Authors: Mirić Filip
Published: January 2025

Convict slang is a non-standard variety of language. As a kind of "language within a language", its main features are the incomprehensibility of the formal system in prisons and the creation of conditions for unhindered communication between convicts. The subject of the work is the analysis
of the linguistic and criminological characteristics of convict slang. During this analysis, the convict slang shall be observed in the context of the resistance that the convict community, as an informal system, provides to the formal prison system and its representatives. Since convict slang cannot be viewed in isolation from the informal code of convicts, the paper also presents its basic characteristics. The subject of the work defined in this way clearly explains its objective. Studying the slang of convicts can contribute to a better understanding of the convict community, its penological characteristics, as well as criminogenesis within the prisons themselves, which is a prerequisite for improving treatment while serving a prison sentence.
Impact of the Prison Environment on the Process of Criminal Recruitment within Prisons
Authors: Herman Boris B
Published: January 2025

Criminal recruitment within prison institutions represents a serious security and social problem. Prisons often become fertile ground for the expansion of criminal networks due to social isolation, lack of institutional support, and the presence of criminal leaders. The aim of this paper is to analyse the key factors contributing to criminal recruitment within prisons, with a particular focus on the role of social networks, hierarchical relationships, and prison conditions. This research uses a qualitative approach, with in-depth interviews with former convicts as the main data collection method. Six participants, who had served prison sentences in various institutions in Serbia and Croatia, were interviewed. Six respondents (five men and one woman) between the ages of
42 and 50 participated in the research. The data were analysed using thematic analysis in order to identify key patterns of criminal recruitment. The research results reveal that prison hierarchies and social networks play a crucial role in the process of recruiting new members into criminal groups. Prisoners without external support often become targets for criminal leaders, who exploit social isolation and the lack of resources in prisons as a means to recruit new members. Criminal recruitment in prisons can be reduced through reforms to prison policies, which include strengthening institutional support, improving prison conditions, and implementing specific rehabilitation programmes. This research emphasises the importance of preventing criminal networks within prisons by means of strengthening of institutional measures. Further research is recommended to analyse the role of social networks and hierarchical relationships among prisoners to identify key recruitment mechanisms. Additionally, it would be useful to examine the effectiveness of various
interventions in different prison systems, as well as the long-term effects of support and rehabilitation programmes on reducing criminal networks within prisons.
Life Imprisonment and the Special Prison Regime (art. 41 bis Penitentiary Order) in Italy
Authors: Caterini Mario , Gallo Morena
Published: January 2025

The essay deals with two issues debated in criminal doctrine and jurisprudence in Italy: life imprisonment without review and the special prison regime, institutions united by the fact that in most cases they are applied to people convicted of organised crime offences, in particular mafia crimes. The work studies their historical genesis, their regulation, their apparent purposes and those that in practice these institutions have taken on, also scrutinising the jurisprudence of the Italian Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights. The conclusions highlight
the fact that the real objective of life imprisonment and ‘hard prison’ in Italy is probably not so much and only that of preventing the offender from resuming or continuing relations with criminal organisations, but that of attempting to force the prisoner to cooperate with justice, which however
poses problems of compatibility with many principles of the Italian Constitution and the ECHR.

Green Hospital Management and Survival to Age 65: Towards Sustainable Health
Authors: Supriadi Bambang
Published: January 2025

The objective of this research is to ascertain how CO2 emissions, the safety of drinking water, and the availability of hospitals affect Indonesians' quality of life, as measured by their survival rate up to the age of 65. The World Bank provided the data, which spans the observational period from 1990 to 2022. Autoregressive Distributed Lag is the technique employed. The findings of the study demonstrate that CO2 emissions have a detrimental effect on human health and are a significant cause of climate change. One's odds of living to be 65 years old decrease with increasing CO2 emissions. Ensuring the safety of drinking water is crucial for preserving public health. Survival rates will be impacted throughout time by changes in the safety of drinking water. The accessibility of hospitals also influences the likelihood of living at a particular age. People's chances of surviving are higher in areas with more conveniently accessible hospitals. Making sure hospitals run sustainably and ecologically friendly helps boost healthcare availability and accessibility when it comes to green hospital management. Through a deeper comprehension of the connection between CO2 emissions, the quality of drinking water, and the accessibility of hospitals, we can advance the transition to a sustainable health system and ensure that individuals live to be 65 years old.

Knowledge and Perception of Liver Cancer in Rural and Peri-Urban Areas of Vehari District
Authors: Naseer Muzammil , Tee Mcxin , Lu Liangyan , You Li
Published: January 2025

Objectives: This study aims to empirically analyze the knowledge and perception of liver cancer in rural and peri-urban areas of Vehari district. It seeks to examine how various factors, such as knowledge about Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), age, education level (above matriculation), and efforts to improve health, influence awareness about liver cancer.
 
Methods: The study employs SPSS to perform a comparative analysis of rural and peri-urban areas in the Vehari district. Binary logistic regression is used to estimate the relationship between the dependent variable—knowledge about liver cancer (measured as a categorical or binary variable)—and the explanatory variables, including knowledge about HCV and HBV, age, education level, and health improvement.
 
Results: The findings reveal that age has a negative impact on knowledge about liver cancer, indicating that younger individuals are more likely to have greater awareness. Knowledge about HCV and HBV has a positive and significant influence on awareness of liver cancer. Additionally, while education above matriculation shows a positive trend, its impact on liver cancer knowledge is statistically insignificant.
 
Conclusion: The study concludes that knowledge about HCV and HBV plays a critical role in enhancing awareness of liver cancer, while age negatively affects this awareness. The insignificant impact of higher education levels highlights the need for focused awareness campaigns to improve understanding of liver cancer in rural and peri-urban areas.
Performance and Equity in the 100-Meter Sprint: Contributions to Healthy and Inclusive Athletic Development
Authors: Valunpion Athiti , Rangubhet K. Ravivuth
Published: January 2025

Objectives: This research aims to analyze and compare the running patterns and performance dynamics of athletes in six major international competitions, focusing on biomechanical and statistical aspects of the 100-meter sprint to enhance inclusivity and equity in athletics.
 
Theoretical Framework: Grounded in principles of biomechanics and sports science, this study investigates the role of body posture, step frequency, and arm swing in sprint performance, linking them to sustainable development in sports.
 
Method: Data were collected from six competitions, including the Olympic Athletics (2012, 2016, 2020) and World Championship Athletics (2015, 2017, 2019). Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests, were employed to identify significant differences in sprinting techniques.
 
Results and Discussion: Key findings reveal a preference for the Banzai starting technique (37.8%) in Olympic events, with specific biomechanical patterns such as dominant hand positioning equal to shoulder width (51.1%) and hip elevation above shoulder level (64.4%). Sprinting dynamics vary significantly, with body posture transitioning from forward inclination at 30m (57.8%) to upright at 60m (77.8%) and back to forward inclination at 100m (80%). The fastest segment, 30-60m, exhibits the least frequent steps (12.73±0.81) and arm swings (12.82±0.09), with significant differences observed between Olympic and World Championship settings.
 
Research Implications: These findings provide actionable insights for coaches and athletes to refine sprinting strategies, emphasizing the importance of biomechanics in optimizing performance and fostering equitable opportunities in athletics.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to sustainable sports development by integrating evidence-based biomechanical practices with a focus on inclusivity, equity, and performance optimization in elite sprinting competitions.

Unlocking Emotions in Action for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Teacher Education: EFL Teacher Candidates’ Practicum Stories
Authors: Öz Gülşah
Published: January 2025

Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the emotional experiences of EFL teacher candidates during practicum, as well as the factors that influence their positive and negative feelings and the coping strategies within the concern of sustainable development goals (SDGs).
 
Theoretical Framework: Teachers’ emotions can be uncovered through a variety of theoretical perspectives. In this study, positive psychology was adopted as a theoretical lens for understanding and analyzing emotional experiences and emotions of teacher candidates.
 
Method: The present study, which intends to investigate EFL teacher candidates’ emotional experiences during practicum in addition to uncovering the factors affecting their positive and negative emotions and coping strategies that they utilize in the face of any adverse or unpleasant situations while practicing their teaching, adopted a qualitative research study as the research design. To achieve the purpose of the study, data were collected through open-ended interview forms and reflection papers.
 
Results and Discussion: Research findings reveal that participating teacher candidates experienced both positive and negative emotions during their teaching practices. Such emotions were mostly triggered by teacher candidates’ lack of practices, their dilemmas, teaching context, supervisor, and mentor roles. Moreover, findings indicate that teacher candidates employ several strategies to regulate their emotions during practicum. In this sense, teacher candidates’ emotional stories and coping strategies that they applied in the face of negative experiences are crucial on their wellbeing and problem-solving skills as well as identity construction, which in turn ensures sustainability in teacher education.
 
Research Implications: Teacher educators as supervisors and mentor teachers at practicum schools need to consider that teacher candidates experience emotional ups and downs, and such emotional experiences affect their teaching performances as well as their teacher identity construction.

Published: January 2025

Objective: Academic dishonesty is a prevalent issue within educational institutions, often driven by both internal and external factors. This study aims to analyze the impact of self-efficacy and economic literacy on academic dishonesty among students, with academic procrastination as a mediating variable. The research focuses on students from the Economics Education Department at Universitas Negeri Surabaya.
 
Theoretical Framework: procrastination is identified as a strong predictor of academic dishonesty, highlighting that students who delay academic tasks are more prone to dishonest actions as deadlines approach.
 
Method: The study employs a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) to analyze the relationships between latent variables. Data were collected from a sample of 181 students, selected through random sampling from a total population of 339 students.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that self-efficacy has a significant negative effect on academic dishonesty, while economic literacy does not directly influence academic dishonesty. However, academic procrastination significantly mediates the relationship between economic literacy and academic dishonesty, but it does not mediate the relationship between self-efficacy and academic dishonesty.
 
Research Implications: The study concludes that self-efficacy plays a crucial role in reducing academic dishonesty, whereas economic literacy indirectly impacts academic dishonesty through academic procrastination. This highlights the importance of addressing both self-efficacy and procrastination in educational strategies to combat academic dishonesty.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing novel insights  into  the  role  of efforts to combat academic dishonesty should focus not only on enhancing students' confidence in their abilities but also on addressing procrastination tendencies through targeted interventions as a pathway to achieving SDG 4 goals.

Authors: Arm Karen
Published: January 2025

Solent Student Partner Programme is a cross-institutional, third-space project led by the central Education Office at Southampton Solent University in the UK. This case study discusses how we have used kinaesthetic play to support our Student Partners to articulate and negotiate the challenges of third-space partnerships. It starts by outlining our Student Partner Programme in the context of the third-space partnership literature. Then it describes the Play-Doh method that we used to support students to reflect on their identity and experiences as third-space partners. The case study concludes by arguing that play provides an empowering tool for students (and staff) to mould third-space partnerships together.

Metodologia Ativa de Ensino Instrução por Pares
Authors: Da Silva Santos Dalte , Noel dos Santos Franklin
Published: January 2025

As contribuições teórico-metodológicas encontradas nas obras e estudos de Vygotsky à Educação e à pratica docente têm fomentado, entre outras, a implementação de metodologias ativas de ensino na educação escolar. Essas metodologias, diferentemente das metodologias tracionais de ensino, buscam colocar o aluno no centro do processo educativo e tornar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem mais significativo para este. O presente artigo objetivou analisar o papel desempenhado pela educação escolar no processo de formação dos educandos sob a ótica “vygotskyana” e apresentar uma análise da metodologia ativa de ensino Instrução por Pares (IpP), destacando as suas principais características e potenciais contribuições dadas à prática docente. Os principais aspectos e características da metodologia IpP foram analisados sob a perspectiva “vygotskyana”, onde destacou-se como estes dialogam de forma acentuada com teoria de desenvolvimento e aprendizado relacionados aos conceitos de Mediação Semiótica e da Zona de Desenvolvimento Proximal ou Potencial propostos por Vygotsky. Essa análise corrobora a metodologia IpP, tendo em vista que esta possui aporte teórico-metodológico alinhado aos preceitos fundamentados nas teorias de Vygotsky para os processos de desenvolvimento e aprendizado. Essa análise demostra que a referida metodologia tem potencial na promoção da interação social entre os alunos, na centralização do educando no processo de ensino-aprendizagem e no estímulo ao desenvolvimento de hábitos autônomos de estudos e na resolução de problemas. Portanto, essa análise demostra que a metodologia IpP pode trazer contribuições relevantes à prática docente quando implementada em sala de aula.

Authors: Coitim Esthefany Guedes , Farias Sidilene
Published: January 2025

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a contextualização do conteúdo Eletroquímica nos livros didáticos de Química, aprovados no Programa Nacional do Livro Didático em 2018 (PNLD/2018). Adotou-se a Pesquisa Qualitativa na análise dos livros didáticos de seis coleções aprovadas no PNLD/2018, sendo elaborados dois protocolos: (1) caracterização geral; e (2) contextualização dos conteúdos de Eletroquímica. Na organização e análise dos dados utilizou-se o método de Análise de Conteúdo. Observou-se que os Livros Didáticos de Química (LDQs) são organizados em unidades e/ou capítulos, tendo na apresentação inicial do conteúdo Eletroquímica, alguns elementos como: temáticas iniciais; ilustrações e questionamentos; objetivos da aprendizagem. Em relação a contextualização, os resultados mostraram que todos os LDQs apresentaram temáticas relacionadas a diversos contextos, como ambiental, social, político e econômico, porém apenas três LDQs retomam essas temáticas no decorrer da unidade e/ou capítulo, sendo estas problematizadas. Uma categoria adotada em apenas dois LDQs foi a contextualização histórica. Diante disso, dos seis LDQs somente três apresentam-se contextualizados, visto que alguns LDQs não retomam a temática inicial, utilizam vários temas como exemplos, ou somente retomam a temática no fim dos capítulos não relacionando-a com os conceitos químicos, que prejudica a significação dos conteúdos.

Diante das dificuldades de compreensão do conteúdo de concentração das soluções, com o intuito de auxiliar no processo de ensino aprendizagem, tem-se como objetivo a elaboração, implementação e avaliação de uma sequência didática (SD) com o tema: Poluição das Águas. A sequência didática foi aplicada com 39 alunos de uma turma do segundo ano do ensino médio de uma escola pública do interior do Paraná. A SD compreendeu 8 aulas divididas em seis etapas. Os alunos responderam a questionários no decorrer das aulas e a partir das análises dos mesmos emergiram três focos, a saber: conceito de soluções, perspectiva ambiental e conceito de concentração. Com base nos resultados inferimos que a SD tem potencialidade de contribuir para a compreensão dos educandos sobre os aspectos discutidos.
Explorando a importância da linguagem no processo de aprendizagem:
Authors: Crivellaro Renan Elvis , Santos Franklin Noel dos
Published: January 2025

Paulo Freire e Lev Vygotsky são destacados teóricos da educação cujas abordagens convergem na ideia de que a aprendizagem é um processo social influenciado pelo contexto histórico e cultural. Embora suas abordagens sejam distintas, ambos compartilham a visão de que a aprendizagem é um processo social e que o contexto social desempenha um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento cognitivo dos indivíduos. Ambos ressaltam o papel crucial da linguagem no processo de aprendizagem e na transformação da sociedade. Uma das funções da linguagem é estabelecer conexão entre o autor e o leitor, dando significado ao que foi escrito e está sendo lido, possibilitando o leitor imaginar-se no contexto abordado pelo autor, facilitando ainda mais a compreensão pelo leitor. Este artigo explora através, de uma releitura, a contribuição de Freire e Vygotsky para a compreensão da relação entre linguagem e aprendizado, destacando sua relevância na prática educacional e na produção. Baseando-se em  Paulo Freire e Vygotsky, podemos dizer que uma das funções da linguagem é estabelecer conexão entre o autor e o leitor, dando significado ao que foi escrito e está sendo lido, possibilitando o leitor imaginar-se no contexto abordado pelo autor, facilitando ainda mais a compreensão pelo leitor.
