Communication of generations: Types of discourses and their essential features
Authors: Sadovskaya Ye. Y.
Published: January 2024

The article concentrates on the communication of generations. It also seeks to identify and differentiate specific features of discourses related to and connected with the interactions of generations. These discourses include the discourse about generations, generational, intragenerational and intergenerational discourses. The main differentiating criterion is the verbalized generational identity of one or more participants of the communication process. Addressing generational issues in the process of communication without actualizing the generational identity of the communicants and the accentuation of the thematic choice is a criterion for distinguishing the discourse about the generation as a separate subspecies. The coinciding or differing generational affiliation of communicants acts as a differentiating feature of generational, intergenerational and intragenerational discourses. The verbalized generational belonging of the addresser is the marker of a generational discourse. It usually has no designated addressee. If the generational identity of both the addresser and the addressee is revealed, the generational discourse is divided into intragenerational and intergenerational. If communicants belong to the same generation, the discourse is intragenerational. If communicants belong to different generations, the discourse becomes intergenerational. The concept of “generation” can be considered from a biological and social point of view. If communicants belong to different generations and are relatives, the subspecies of the discourse is the intrafamilial discourse (personality-oriented). If the communicants belong to different generations but they are not relatives, the interfamilial discourse subspecies is distinguished, which can be both personalityoriented and institutional in nature (if the communicants emphasize the function of the generation as a social institution).
The article function of the demonstrative pronoun totъ in South Russian documents of the 17th century
Authors: Skripka V. К.
Published: January 2024

The paper considers one of the functions of the demonstrative pronoun-attribute тотъ (tot) in the South Russian documents of the 17th century. Researchers have repeatedly noted the similarity of this pronoun in some contexts with the definite article in languages where the expression of the definiteness category is mandatory. The purpose of this work is to examine the features and the consistency of the тотъ (tot) use in this function.

It was determined that, despite a large number of uses of the demonstrative group with тотъ (tot) to denote the objects already mentioned, in some cases the pronoun is omitted systematically (in the construction “цѣна (tsěna) + Dat.” ; when voivodes or geographical objects are repeatedly mentioned) or unsystematically. Considering that demonstrative nominal groups in their standard function should not be used as a means of naming an already mentioned object, as they distinguish a particular object from the class of similar ones, we may postulate the article function of the demonstrative pronoun-attribute тотъ (tot). However, the inconsistency of its use as a means of expressing definiteness denies the possibility of its grammaticalization and the nascence of a definite article on the basis of тотъ (tot).
Functions of one-time occurrence verbs in I. Bunin’s short stories “Dark Alleys”
Authors: Fattakhova N. N. , Ping Lu
Published: January 2024

The article presents the results of the study of modern Russian verbs with the person subject based on the cycle of stories “Dark Alleys” by I. Bunin. The purpose of the article is a one-time occurrence verbs’ multi–level analysis taking into account several aspects, lexico-semantic and grammatical ones, through the prism of functional grammar. This analysis will reveal the features of the use of verbs with the meaning of one-time occurrence in I. Bunin’s idiostyle, and their role in revealing the main conceptual space of the author’s stories. The novelty of our research is the fact that we have taken into account the morphological and syntactic characteristics of the verbs, their features of compatibility with the circumstances of time, mode of action, measure and degree. We have established that the category of one-time occurrence functions in two groups (marked and unmarked one-time use), which have their own specific morphological characteristics, however, they are characterized by the fact that, as a rule, they are combined with time constants. The most frequent group of one-act verbs has been identified, namely: verbs with the suffix – nu (ну) -. This interpretation has made it possible to analyze in more detail the linguistic phenomenon of I. Bunin, to reveal the author’s individual picture of the world. The analysis of the linguistic material allowed us to conclude that the functioning of the verbs with the meaning of one-time occurrence in fictional discourse helps to identify the author’s perception of reality based on the unity of rational and emotional elements.
Specific features of the plot construction in V. Kataev’s stories “The Lonely Sail Is White” and “The Son of the Regiment”
Authors: Breeva Т. N.
Published: January 2024

The article examines different options for the interaction of children’s literature and the literature of the large canon plot models in the works of Valentin Kataev. The object of the study is two of his stories: the first part of the tetralogy “Waves of the Black Sea” – “The Lonely Sail Is White” and “The Son of the Regiment”.

The first story is distinguished by a fairly obvious orientation towards the model of the Revolution conceptualization that developed at the turn of the 1910s and 1920s. The mystery model determines the nature of the plot construction, forming a certain internal plot, presented by the mythologemes of “Red Easter”/ “Working Easter” and “sails”. The mythologems are built along two storylines in the parallel development, at the end of the story they charge the ideological load of the traditional romantic image with a mysterious meaning.

The second story is characterized by its inclusion into the mythology of the “big family” being constructed at this stage. This is associated with a shift in a psychologically grounded plot action towards epicization, which is embodied in the accentuated archetypal component. The mythologeme of the “big family” is presented in the work in the context of ideological connotations common to the given time and is realized at all levels of the text: its plot, characters, images and chronotops. As a result, the nature of temporal conceptualization changes: the mysterious processuality of time gives way to temporal circularity.

Let a von Neumann algebra M of operators act on a Hilbert space H, I be the unit of M, τ be a faithful semifinite normal trace on M. Let S(M, τ ) be the ∗-algebra of all τ -measurable operators and L1(M, τ ) be the Banach space of all τ -integrable operators, P, Q ∈ S(M, τ ) be idempotents. If P − Q ∈ L1(M, τ ) then τ (P − Q) ∈ R. In particular, if A  = A3  ∈ L1(M, τ ), then τ (A) ∈ R. If P −Q ∈ L1(M, τ ) and PQ ∈ M, then for all n ∈ N we have (P −Q)2n+1 ∈ L1(M, τ ) and τ ((P − Q)2n+1) = τ (P − Q) ∈ R. If A ∈ L2(M, τ ) and U ∈ M is an isometry, then ∥UA − A∥22 ≤ 2∥(I − U )AA∗∥1.
Foundation phase teachers’ enactment of curriculum differentiation in a full-service school in the Zululand District.
Authors:   , Mngomezulu Thandeka Faith
Published: January 2024

The study presents a qualitative action research exploring teachers’ enactment of CAPS curriculum differentiation in one of the full-service schools in Paulpietersburg under Zululand District, KwaZulu-Natal. The main objective of the study was to explore foundation phase teachers’ enactments of curriculum differentiation in a full-service school in the Zululand District. As such, why do foundation phase teachers enact the curriculum differentiation in particular ways in a full-service school in the Zululand District? Also, how do the teachers enact curriculum differentiation in a full-service school in the Zululand District? The study employed emancipatory action research to draw on pragmatic philosophy, which led to new practical knowledge, and new abilities that created knowledge within a pragmatic context. Six teachers were purposefully sampled for the research data collection. Data was generated using focus-group meetings, observations, reflective activities, and semi-structured interviews. The thematic analysis was applied to analyse data using the inductive process to organise data according to the conceptual framework: curriculum content, teacher’s use of CAPS, lesson objectives, enactment methods, teaching strategies, teachers’ role, learning and teaching support material (LTSM), lesson duration, teaching and learning environment, assessment tasks, as well as reflection and enrichment on activities. Literature explored three types of curriculum enactment influenced by a performance (content-based) curriculum, a competence (social-based) curriculum, and a differentiated (personal-based) curriculum. The research study findings on the teachers’ curriculum enactment revealed that teachers’ enactment of the curriculum was dominated by performance curriculum principles. As such, teachers and learners were frustrated by the level of underachievement in the prescribed objectives due to a lack of understanding and knowledge of the curriculum differentiation implementation. However, the teacher’s enactment of the differentiated curriculum was improved during the second phase of the action research. Additionally, the teachers were able to trust and apply their differentiation strategies to achieve the CAPS-prescribed objectives. Nevertheless, the quality and volume of content achieved within the stipulated time raised concerns. The different enactment methods also postulated doubts in terms of meeting each learner at the point of their educational needs, taking into consideration the size of the classrooms. The study recommends that teachers be more developed in curriculum differentiation enactment to interconnect the performance curriculum with a competence-based curriculum, thereby designing and applying the differentiated curriculum in class. The study further encouraged teachers to use different strategies to foster the curriculum without tampering with the prescribed content and skills.
Dynamics of implementing mainstream english curriculum at a school for the deaf in Eswatini.

It is essential to explore the dynamics of implementing the mainstream English curriculum at a school for the deaf. This assists teachers to reflect and critique their practices and experiences with the aim of improving their classroom actions. It also helps to raise awareness of the natural identity of both teachers and learners at the school, with the hope of meeting individual needs and ultimately, the teaching and learning goals. This qualitative study employed the pragmatic paradigm and action research design. Seven teachers purposively sampled participated in the study six teachers of English and the school principal. The study was guided by three research questions: 1) What are the dynamics of implementing the mainstream English curriculum at the school for the deaf in Eswatini? (descriptive); 2) How do the dynamics of the mainstream English curriculum influence its implementation in the school for the deaf? (Operational); and 3) why are the dynamics of implementing the mainstream English curriculum at the school for the deaf the way they are? (philosophical). Five data-generation instruments were used namely: documents review, reflective activity, video observation, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The Natural Identity Framework guided this study leading to the generation of three categories: the top-down, bottom-up, and individual dynamics. Findings revealed that there is tension between the top-down (professional) and bottom-up (societal/school) dynamics, which affects curriculum implementation at the school. This begged for the recognition of individual dynamics which seek to understand the personal “who” questions. Such dynamics are neutral; and they harmonise the tension of the two giants by combining their strengths. The individual dynamics are realised after reflecting and critiquing current practices and experiences. Such help to meet individual needs and to improve practice. Consequently, the study recommends that teachers should always reflect and critique their practices in order to identify what works in their respective school contexts. As a contribution to the body of knowledge, this study proposes the innate dynamics implementation model which recognises the natural and inborn identity of both teachers and learners as the key driver of a successful curriculum implementation.
A Study on the Growth Conditions of the Green Party in South Korea: Focusing on political opportunity structures and party leadership
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Park Je min , Lee Hyeonwoo
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the emergence and development of green parties around the world to identify general conditions for their growth and to see if the findings can be applied to the Korean Green Party. In doing so, it explores the requirements of a political party based on the experience of the Korean Green Party.
The empirical analysis shows that in terms of political opportunity structure, green parties around the world grow into parties that influence the political system when elections are highly proportional and the proportional representation rate is above 40%. However, in the case of the Korean Green Party, the limitations of the quasi-connected proportional representation system with a ‘cap’ clause and the emergence of satellite parties in the 2020 general election resulted in lower electoral proportionality than before, and the proportional representation rate was only 15.67%, which did not have favorable conditions for growth.
Next, in terms of party leadership, global green parties have observed that green parties grow when they maintain intra-party unity and pursue coalition politics in elections. However, the Korean Green Party failed to create a growth engine during the 2020 general election, as it failed to maintain intra-party unity and pursue coalition politics.
Based on this analysis, in order for the Korean Green Party to grow in the future, the party leadership should focus its efforts on introducing a more proportional electoral system and expanding the number of seats for proportional representation, while maintaining intra-party unity and pursuing coalition politics.
“It Was a Real Eye-Opener”
Authors: Shephard Monique , Garrison Kasey
Published: January 2024

The school environment can be challenging for young people experiencing mental health concerns to express their individuality and feel accepted. There has been an increased focus on wellbeing in school-aged children, with programs targeted to building resilience and promoting inclusion.  However, peer stigmatization lowers personal wellbeing by limiting social belongingness in young people with mental health concerns and this is often exacerbated by poor mental health literacy. This paper is based on a doctoral study that used a grounded theory methodology to explore adolescent responses to a novel featuring mental health concerns as a class text. This research showed that students prefer contemporary young adult novels in the English classroom to support mental health literacy due to its contemporaneity and relatability. This paper links these benefits with the role of teacher librarians in recommending young adult literature featuring mental health concerns for use in the English curriculum.
Date Fruit Classification using K-Nearest Neighbor with Principal Component Analysis and Binary Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: Wikky Fawwaz Al Maki  , Khaidir Mauladan  , Indra Bayu Muktyas
Published: January 2024

Various cultivars of date fruits distributed throughout exhibit diverse complexity and unique attributes, including color, flavor, shape, and texture. These distinctive characteristics and appearance occasionally lack variability in date fruits, since various kinds of date fruit may have subtle differences in color, shape, and texture. To overcome the difficulty of sorting and classifying multiple types of date fruit, a classification model was developed to categorize date fruit according to their visual appearances and digital characteristics. This study proposes a classification system that categorizes date fruit into five distinct types. The system achieves this by extracting features related to date fruit images' color, shape, and texture. Specifically, color moments,  HOG descriptors, and circularity are used for feature extraction. The resulting high-quality training data is then used to train a K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN) classifier. Considering the parameters applied to develop the proposed classification model is essential. Therefore, the proposed KNN model will be optimized by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO). PCA is employed for dimensionality reduction, whereas BPSO is implemented to discover the optimal neighbors. The experimental results demonstrated that the classification model achieved an accuracy of 93.85%, a considerable improvement of 12% over barebone KNN.

Published: January 2024

Social networks have proven to be an essential marketing tool for the success of any product, service, or business. User participation affects the increase in revenue gain and creates long-term profit. The User Engagement Scale (UES) is one of the tools developed to measure user engagement and has been used in various digital domains. The UES intends to compute six dimensions of engagement: aesthetic appeal, perceived usability, focused attention, novelty, felt involvement, and endurability. This study investigates and verifies the three-factor structure of the UES. We used PCA to perform the analysis. The original data will be reanalyzed using UES, which consists of 220 valid responses. The result shows that the UES examination indicates good reliability in three factors. Factor 1 encompasses the feeling of involvement (FI), aesthetic appeal (AE), novelty (NO), and endurability (EN). Factor 2 aggregates the perceived usability (PU) elements. Factor 3 pertains to focused attention (FA) items. Our findings indicate that the User Engagement Scale is a valuable and suitable measurement tool for assessing user engagement in the context of social media within small and medium enterprises.

Pap smear is a digital image generated from the recording of cervical cancer cell preparation. Images generated are susceptible to errors due to relatively small cell sizes and overlapping cell nuclei. Therefore, an accurate analysis of the Pap smear image is essential to obtain the right information. This research compares nucleus segmentation and detection using gray-level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM) features in two methods: Otsu and polynomial. The data tested consisted of 400 images sourced from RepoMedUNM, a publicly accessible repository containing 2,346 images. Both methods were compared and evaluated to obtain the most accurate characteristics. The research results showed that the average distance of the Otsu method was 6.6457, which was superior to the polynomial method with a value of 6.6215. Distance refers to the distance between the nucleus detected by the Otsu and the Polynomial method. Distance is an important measure to assess how closely the detection results align with the actual nucleus positions. It indicates that the polynomial method produces nucleus detections that are on average closer to the actual nucleus positions compared to the Otsu method.  Consequently, this research can serve as a reference for future studies in developing new methods to enhance identification accuracy.

Published: January 2024

Travel reviews offer insights into users' experiences at places they have visited, including hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions. Reviews are a type of multidocument, where one place has several reviews from different users. Automatic summarization can help users get the main information in multi-document. Automatic summarization consists of abstractive and extractive approaches. The abstractive approach has the advantage of producing coherent and concise sentences, while the extractive approach has the advantage of producing an informative summary. However, there are weaknesses in the abstractive approach, which results in inaccurate and less information. On the other hand, the extractive approach produces longer sentences compared to the abstractive approach. Based on the characteristics of both approaches, we combine abstractive and extractive methods to produce a more concise and informative summary than can be achieved using either approach alone. To assess the effectiveness of abstractive and extractive, we use ROUGE based on lexical overlaps and BERTScore based on contextual embeddings which it be compared with a partial approach (abstractive only or extractive only). The experimental results demonstrate that the combination of abstractive and extractive approaches, namely BERT-EXT, leads to improved performance. The ROUGE-1 (unigram), ROUGE-2 (bigram), ROUGE-L (longest subsequence), and BERTScore values are 29.48%, 5.76%, 33.59%, and 54.38%, respectively. Combining abstractive and extractive approach yields higher performance than the partial approach.

Published: January 2024

Malnutrition is one of the problems that occurs in children due to a lack of nutritional intake. Indonesia contributed 36%, making it the fifth country with the largest cases of malnutrition in the world. On this basis, a solution is needed to reduce the growth rate of malnutrition cases. This research aims to carry out classification analysis to determine nutritional status by optimizing machine learning (ML) performance. The ML classification analysis process will later utilize the performance of the artificial neural network (ANN) method with the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) algorithm. ML performance can be optimized using the Pearson’s correlation (PC) method to produce optimal classification analysis patterns. This research data set uses child nutrition case data from 576 patients sourced from the M. Djamil Padang Province Regional General Hospital (RSUP). The data set is divided into 417 training data and 159 test data. On the basis of the tests that have been carried out, the performance of the PC method can provide precise and accurate analysis patterns. This analysis pattern has also been able to provide a fairly good level of accuracy, namely 95%. Not only that, this research is also able to present analysis patterns with the best ANN architectural model in classifying nutritional status. Based on the overall results, this research can be used as an alternative solution to the treatment of nutritional problems in children.

Writing Mandarin characters is considered the most challenging component for beginners due to the rules and character formations. This paper explores the potential of a machine learning-based digital learning tool to write Mandarin characters. It also conducts a comparative study between MobileNetV2 and MobileNetV3, exploring different configurations. The research follows the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method to create both application and machine learning models. Participants from higher education institutions that offer Mandarin courses in Batam, Indonesia, participated in a User Acceptance Test (UAT). Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the System Usability Scale (SUS) methods. The results show positive user acceptance, with an SUS score of 77.92%, indicating a high level of acceptability. MobileNetV3Small was also preferred for recognizing user handwriting, due to comparable accuracy size, rapid inference time and smallest model size. Although the application was well received, several participants provided constructive feedback, suggesting potential improvements.

Published: January 2024

Clustering algorithms and Recency-Frequency-Money (RFM) models are widely implemented in various sectors of e-commerce, banking, telecommunications and other industries to obtain customer segmentation. The RFM model will assess a line of data which includes the recency and frequency of data appearance, as well as the monetary value of a transaction made by a customer. Choosing the right RFM model also influences the analysis of cluster results, the output of cluster results is more compact for the same clusters (inter-cluster) and separate for other clusters (intra-cluster). Through an experimental approach, this research aims to find the best data set transformation model between actual RFM values and RFM scores. The method used is to compare the actual RFM value model and the RFM score and use the silhouette score value as an indicator to obtain the best clustering results using the K-Means algorithm. The subject of this research is a stall-based e-Commerce application, where data was taken in the Wiradesa area, Central Java. The resulting data set consisted of 273,454 rows with 18 attributes from January 2022 to December 2022 by collecting historical data from shopping outlets to wholesalers. The analysis of the data set was carried out by transforming the data set using the RFM method into actual values and score values; then the dataset was used to obtain the best cluster data. The results of this research show that transaction data based on time (time series) can be transformed into data in the RFM model where the actual value is better than the RFM score model with a silhouette score = 0.624646 and the number of clusters (K) =3. The results of the clustering process also form a series of data with a cluster label, thus forming supervised learning data.

Published: January 2024

The balance between blood demand and supply at the Indonesian Red Cross Blood Transfusion Unit (UTD-PMI) is crucial. This condition must be maintained to reduce unused or expired blood supplies. Despite the situation in UTD-PMI, where the blood supply exceeds demand, there is still a shortage of blood when needed by patients. This research aims to model the prediction of blood demand and supply for each blood type using the Back Propagation artificial neural network approach. Data from the last 3 years, from 2020 to 2022, were utilized in this research process. There are three stages in this research process. The first stage involves the training process, using data from January 2020 to December 2021. The testing process utilizes data from January 2021 to December 2022. The prediction process involves displaying the forecasted data for the next 12 months from January to December 2023. The accuracy of the calculations is assessed using the mean square error (MSE). Ultimately, the research results present the prediction model for the four types of blood with respect to the demand and supply. These findings can serve as a reference to regulate future blood donation activities carried out by the UTD-PMI.

Published: January 2024

The research aims to analyze the map of students' digital literacy capabilities as opportunities and challenges in implementing hybrid learning. The research uses a survey method with descriptive analysis. The sample was 35 Mathematics Education students, FMIPA, Indraprasta PGRI University, taken using a purposive sampling technique. The research results showed 82.83% digital literacy skills, with the largest percentage being the ability to use technology, namely 30.0% and information and data literacy skills at 21.83%, communication skills at 12.68%, critical thinking at 12.20%, and digital security (e-safety) capabilities of 11.74%. These results show that students' digital literacy skills are still not evenly distributed in every dimension, where the ability to use technology and information and data literacy is quite good, while communication, critical thinking and digital security skills are still lacking. The implementation of hybrid learning is still in the transition stage, namely the ability to utilize technology, literacy and data information. Thus, based on the map of students' digital literacy abilities, it can be concluded that students' digital literacy abilities need to be improved to answer the opportunities and challenges of implementing hybrid learning.

This study aims to determine the effect of mulch type and bulb weight on the growth and yield of onion production (Allium ascalonicum L.). In detail, this study aims to (1). Know the type of mulch that is most suitable for the growth and production of onion plants. (2). Knowing the weight of bulbs is best for the growth and production of onion plants. (3). Know the interaction between the type of mulch and the weight of bulbs used for the growth and production of onion plants. This study used Group Randomized Design (RAK) with 2 treatments, namely Factor I: three types of Mulch use (M): M0 = No Mulch; M1= Silver black plastic mulch (0.35 cm thick); M2= Mulch rice straw (1.5 cm thick). Factor II: three tuber weight intervals, namely: B0= 0 - 1.4 g (Small Tuber); B1= 1.5 – 1.8 g (Medium Tuber); B2 = > 1.8 g (Large Tubers). The results showed that the treatment of several types of mulch had a significant effect on plant height, weight of fresh tubers per clump, number of fresh tubers per clump, weight of fresh tubers per plot and number of fresh tubers per plot. M1 silver black plastic mulch treatment resulted in the highest plant height. weight of fresh tubers per clump (148.22 g), number of fresh tubers per clump, weight of fresh tubers per plot. Tuber weight treatment has a noticeable effect on plant height, number of leaves, weight of fresh tubers per clump, number of fresh tubers per clump, weight of fresh tubers per plot and number of fresh tubers per plot. B2 treatment yields the highest crop, number of leaves), weight of fresh tubers per clump, number of fresh tubers per clump, weight of fresh tubers per plot. The interaction of the use of several types of mulch and various tuber weights has a noticeable effect on plant height, number of leaves, weight of fresh tubers per clump, number of fresh tubers per clump, weight of fresh tubers per plot and number of fresh tubers per plot.

Aceh Tamiang Regency, located in the northern part of Sumatra Island with an area of 1.957.02 km², is part of the Leuser Ecosystem, famously known as the Gunung Leuser National Park-TNGL. The remarkable biodiversity in TNGL has earned it recognition as a national park and wildlife sanctuary. Threats to this biodiversity include illegal logging, land conversion, hunting, and wildlife trafficking. This study aimed to identify the diversity of edible fruit species in the Aceh Tamiang region of TNGL as an initial step in conservation and utilization efforts for fruit biodiversity. The genetic resources of edible fruit plants in this area hold significant potential for enhancing the quality and quantity of fruits in Indonesia. Hence, conservation and sustainable management are crucial for fruit plant development. The research was conducted in Bandar Pusaka, Tamiang Hulu, and Tenggulun. The exploration discovered 81 species of edible fruits from 27 families. Tenggulun had the highest number of species (61 species), followed by Bandar Pusaka (53 species) and Tamiang Hulu (44 species). Species like Mangifera odorata Griff., Garcinia mangostana L., Pometia pinnata J.R. Forst. & G. Forst., and others were found in all locations. The highest diversity index was in Tenggulun (HI 3.31), followed by Bandar Pusaka (2.88), and the lowest in Tamiang Hulu (2.39). Species evenness ranged from 0.63 to 0.81, indicating moderate and stable evenness levels. Species dominance was low, with values ranging from 0.007-0.009.

Published: January 2024

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a utilização dos memes como potencialidades do ensino de História, numa perspectiva de estratégia de aprendizagem, bem como os desafios e dificuldades de integrar memes sobre o estudo dos conteúdos históricos ao contexto da sala de aula. Pois, a escola atua como um reflexo da sociedade, porém também trabalha para diminuir as desigualdades sociais que nela se apresenta. Como reflexo da sociedade, espera-se que a escola também se modifique e se modernize de acordo com as modernidades da sociedade. A sociedade, atualmente está numa era marcada pela modernidade. Nossas crianças e jovens, estão, cada vez mais conectados ao mundo digital, tendo contato com os dispositivos moveis tecnológicos e a internet. De tal forma, a escola precisa se modernizar e acompanhar as transformações e evolução tecnológica que estamos vivendo, inserindo no seu contexto educacional recursos didáticos tecnológicos que possibilitam e potencializam a aprendizagem. Recursos esses que estejam mais próximos da realidade dos jovens, e que fazem parte do seu cotidiano. Certamente, os jovens cotidianamente, mantem contato com memes. Uma alternativa para melhorar e acelerar o processo de ensino aprendizagem, seria utilizar os memes como recursos didáticos elaborados e produzidos para o ensino de História no ensino fundamental. Acreditamos que a partir da mediação pedagógica do professor, o meme possa se tornar uma estratégia didática útil nas aulas de História, sendo utilizado para mobilizar e propor reflexões contemporâneas vinculadas a acontecimentos do passado em conexão com os tempos atuais.
