Theoretical Background for a Strategy of Development of Cultural Literacy in Schools
Authors: Kobakhidze Giorgi
Published: June 2021

Aim. Based on the analysis of two social-cultural cases (Lithuania and Georgia), the aim of the research is to reveal the necessity to create a strategy for the development of cultural literacy in schools; to examine the corpus of theory that deals with the concept of cultural literacy and based on the analysis of the latter to suggest a hypothesis for the development of cultural literacy.
Methods. The theoretical literature review (i.e., its relevance in academic discourse and international organisations as well as individual countries) has helped to establish the already existing definitions of the concept of cultural literacy, their interaction and to develop a new hypothesis to be tested for the development of cultural literacy in schools.
Results and conclusion. The literature review has shown that representatives of different theories offer different definitions of cultural literacy, although there is a common theoretical line on the basis of which I offer to the reader my own structure of cultural literacy development strategy. The analysis of historical and geographical contexts of Lithuania and Georgia has revealed that nowadays even small countries’ society, with a dominant single nation, in some ways can be considered as a multicultural society. Schools in the said countries have become an intercultural place of learning, where reemigrants, migrants, ethnical minorities and locals are brought together. The analysis has led to the conclusion that taking into account modern challenges, the importance of the development of cultural literacy in schools is growing both for international organisations and for individual countries. The concept of cultural literacy is considered value-based knowledge, which comes as a response to the requirements of society’s sustainable coexistence.

Authors: Liu Xiaojing , Li Yulong
Published: June 2021

Aim. The number of kindergartens is swelling in China, and that of private kindergartens in particular. The quality of teaching in the latter is positively linked to the levels of teachers’ professional competence. Thus, to enhance the teaching quality in private kindergartens, strengthening teacher’s professional competence is one of the vital approaches. Teacher’s professional competence can be enhanced via effective CPD activities. Therefore, this study aims to explore the types and content of CPD activities for Chinese private kindergarten teachers.
Methods. A qualitative approach was adopted in this research. 18 kindergarten teachers were selected as participants from three private kindergartens in Shenzhen. Data was collected by semi-structured interview from 18 teachers.
Results and conclusion. The findings showed that the school-based CPD activities are valued by most private kindergarten teachers. Furthermore, this study found that CPD activities can help private kindergarten teachers to be more inclusive and positive in teaching. They enabled teachers to acquire knowledge and skills that are relevant to child care and development, teaching, as well as cooperation with colleagues and children’s parents.
Practical application. The research findings presented herein have significant implications for the knowledge base of private kindergarten teachers’ CPD in China. It also has implications for the practice that is relevant to private kindergarten teachers, principals and policy makers.
Importance and method of teaching biblical Hebrew and aramaic in religious education of children and adults
Authors: Roubalová Marie , Kralik Roman , Kondrla Peter
Published: June 2021

Aim. The aim of this paper is to show and explain the meaning and the importance teaching biblical Hebrew and Aramic in religious education.  
Method. The paper presents a descriptive study of philosophy of teaching Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic as an integral part of religious education, and at the same time it points out  the main problems of this education which are connected with the fact that the original language of the Tanakh (one of the basic textbooks for religious education) is not the native language of the students being taught  (even Israelis whose native language is Hebrew do not speak Biblical Hebrew) and studying it demands knowledge of Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic.
Results. However, as the ideal method for teaching a foreign language does not exist, the choice of teaching methods must be based on the fact that each student or teacher prefers different method of work.
The value-target factors of future journalists’ life- creation
Authors: Karpenko Zinoviia , Karpenko Yevhen
Published: June 2021

Aim. The study purpose is to explain the value-targeted predictors of future journalists’ life-creation as an indicator of their readiness for professional growth and fulfilment of their humanitarian mission. 
Methods. The study used the methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis and modelling of the process of personality realization. The empirical study on the value-target factors of future journalists’ life-creation consisted of two stages: 1) the selection of relevant psychological examining techniques in order to explain the value-target factors as a complex independent variable, on the one hand, and the corresponding features of the life implementation process as characteristics (partial and generalized) of a dependent variable, on the other hand (a total of 12 psychodiagnostic techniques were used); 2) the correlation and factor analyses of the obtained empirical data.
Results. The performed factor analysis revealed several factors related to particular modes of life implementation, an individual’s certain subjective position in this mode or on the way to it, psychological mechanisms and predictors of becoming an Insider, Expert or Author in personal life, some of their important attributes that generally confirm the triangulation model of an individual’s life implementation. The first one, “An Author – a life-creating agent in the integrative mode of life implementation”, is the most informative and the most loaded by the following indicators: life meaningfulness and purpose in life, psychological well-being, existential fullness with life meaning, self-control and self-acceptance, activity, locus of control-life, etc.  
Conclusions. The article presents the verification of the triangulation psychological-hermeneutic model of a life-implementation process, which is formed by orthogonal vectors: one of them is intuitive-sensory comprehension and designing and the second is discursive-logical goal-setting and achievement of life aspirations by an individual. The performed factor analysis of the value-target factors of future journalists’ life-creation revealed the relevant predictors of life implementation. They concerned such concepts as an individual’s life position (a Reader and an Author, an Observer and an Insider, an Epigone and an Expert); the trajectory of their life, for example, from an Insider to an Author, or from an Epigone to en Expert; and psychological mechanisms of life implementation (reflection, intuition, anticipation, empathy, facilitation, etc.) in certain life-implementation modes (internal, external and integrative).
Divided mind – divided brain. The neurobiology of dissociative identity disorder from the perspective of dynamical systems theory
Authors: Skałbania Jakub , Polewik Karolina , Pietkiewicz Igor J. , Tomalski Radosław
Published: June 2021

Explaining the biology of dissociative identity disorder and its clinical aspects is one of the major challenges in modern neuroscience. The complexity and the unique nature of this disorder, coupled with insufficient biopsychological models needed for creating universal therapeutic procedures, make the treatment difficult. The vast majority of neuroimaging studies in dissociative identity disorder patients proved to be inconclusive. Abnormalities of particular brain structures do not explain the wide range of symptoms in dissociative identity disorder. Moreover, the findings are partly contradictory. Collecting adequate representative study samples is difficult and most reports are in fact single case studies. On top of that, meta-analyses show that patients with dissociative identity disorder usually present with additional mental problems, which makes interpretation of neuroimaging data extremely difficult. Nowadays, scientific research on dissociative identity disorder focuses on child trauma and its influence on the development of the central nervous system. This article is an overview of recent research on the neurobiology of dissociative identity disorder, with particular emphasis on the impact of childhood trauma on the development of the central nervous system. It focuses on hypotheses attempting to capture the specific dynamics of neural activity leading to neural network fragmentation, and uses the dynamical systems theory to describe this phenomenon.

Published: June 2021

Statins drugs are thought to be among the most prescribed drugs worldwide for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia. A simple and reliable RP-HPLC method has been successfully employed for simultaneously separating and qualifying three statin drugs including atorvastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin in pharmaceutical tablets. The optimal conditions were mobile phase 50:50 (v/v) (formic acid pH 2.50: ETOH), column temperature 40.00 °C, detection wavelength 238.00 nm, and flow rate 1.00 mL/min. The proposed method has been validated based on the ICH guidelines in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, and limit of detection and limit of quantification. The linear range investigated 2.0–80.0, 4.0–100.00, and 12.00–120.00 µg/mL for rosuvastatin, atorvastatin and simvastatin respectively with coefficients of determination (R2) within the range of 0.9993–0.9995. The LOD and LOQ for rosuvastatin, atorvastatin and simvastatin were (1.57, 4.76 µg/mL), (1.87, 5.66 µg/mL), (3.46, 10.49 µg/mL) respectively. In addition, in order to evaluate the feasibility of the method developed, it was employed towards the quantification of the pharmaceutical tablets for the analytes investigated and excellent recovery was obtained.

Published: June 2021

A new, sensitive, stability-indicating reversed-phase HPLC method was validated and applied for the simultaneous quantitation of sodium valproate and two paraben preservatives; methylparaben, and propylparaben in the liquid dosage form. Stability tests were carried out through exposure of the analyte's solution to stress conditions. Separation of the analytes was achieved on (waters) C18 Column (150 mm × 3.9 mm, 5 μm). A mixture of 0.05 M monobasic potassium phosphate pH 3.5 and acetonitrile (50:50; v/v) was applied at 1.5 ml/min flow rate and UV detection wavelength at 210 nm. The degradation products and the analytes were completely separated. The linearity was performed in the range of 50–150 % from a target concentration of 10 μg/ml propylparaben, 90 μg/ml methylparaben, and 2.88 mg/ml sodium valproate with a coefficient correlation (R2) 1.0 for methylparaben, propylparaben and sodium valproate. The validation results of the suggested method were in a good agreement with ICH guidelines. Application of the proposed method for analysis of liquid dosage forms was successfully carried out in the routine quality control process.

Published: June 2021

Quality and safe food products are the basic right of every consumer, including food products produced by small and medium industries. Good food production is an important factor in meeting quality standards or food safety licensing requirements. In setting standards, the government also plays an important role in providing direction and assistance to small and medium industries on achieving the specified quality standards. During this time the process is still carried out in a conventional manner directly to the industry. This conventional process is still considered ineffective by seeing the low level of business actorsâ€™ knowledge of the standards for Good Food Production Practice (GFPP). So, with this lack of knowledge, business actorsâ€™ interest in making food licensing is low. This study designed the application of an expert system that stimulates and provides an illustration for a standards assessment of Good Food Production methods. This research was conducted using Object Oriented Programming (OOP) engineering method for program development and using forward chaining for reasoning methods. This research proved that the application of an expert system for licensing due diligence can function in accordance with standards set by the government.

Los fundamentos políticos de la Restauración en Benito Pérez Galdós
Authors: Villa-García Roberto
Published: June 2021

Este artículo analiza las convenciones constitucionales del régimen de la Restauración en la obra de Benito Pérez Galdós. Se hace a través de dos de sus escritos fundamentales: la última novela de la quinta serie de los Episodios Nacionales, titulada Cánovas, y las crónicas parlamentarias que Galdós envió a La Prensa de Buenos Aires. Se trata la evolución doctrinal del autor desde el liberalismo constitucional al republicanismo regeneracionista a través de la plasmación galdosiana de aquel sistema político, y se muestra el valor desigual como fuente histórica de su obra periodística y literaria, a favor de la primera. Sin embargo, la mayor difusión de esta última contribuyó a reforzar una visión distorsionada de la Restauración que sirvió para legitimar la crítica republicana durante la última década de la monarquía liberal, y que se proyectaría después de 1923 en los movimientos políticos que afirmaron su legitimidad en la descalificación del liberalismo.
Cuba, Galdós y la crisis del 98
Authors: Uría Ignacio
Published: June 2021

Este artículo analiza el influjo de Cuba en la vida y en la obra de Benito Pérez Galdós, ya sea en su producción periodística o literaria. La emigración española al Caribe, las guerras de Cuba y, en particular, la derrota de 1898, son asuntos recurrentes en su obra, así como el papel jugado por Estados Unidos en la desaparición de las últimas posesiones ultramarinas españolas o la amenaza del imperialismo norteamericano para la cultura hispánica de América. En Galdós, por tanto, convivieron la importancia de la Isla para España en el siglo XIX, el impacto de su pérdida y la simpatía por el proyecto político cubano (liberal, laico y reformista).
Los conflictos jurisdiccionales entre la justicia real y el Santo Oficio en la Castilla del siglo XVII: las «Juntas de Competencias» y la circulación de alegaciones jurídicas
Authors: Gómez-González Inés
Published: June 2021

En Castilla, como en otros territorios de la monarquía, los conflictos de competencias entre la justicia real y el Santo Oficio fueron constantes a lo largo del Antiguo Régimen, a pesar de que en 1553 se había firmado una concordia en la que se delimitaba el ámbito de actuación de ambas jurisdicciones. Estos enfrentamientos tuvieron un amplio eco en la sociedad y propiciaron la circulación de numerosísimas alegaciones jurídicas, cuyo análisis nos permitirá arrojar alguna luz sobre las Juntas de Competencias creadas para solucionar estas desavenencias.
Palencia se transforma para recibir a Fernando VII (1828). Ceremonial y propaganda de la monarquía en el tránsito a la contemporaneidad
Authors: Quijada-Álamo Diego
Published: June 2021

Las visitas reales son, sin duda, las celebraciones públicas que mayor impacto tuvieron en los territorios de la Monarquía, pues la presencia física de los monarcas en las ciudades más alejadas de la corte era poco frecuente. Palencia contó con la visita de Fernando VII en 1828, la primera y única realizada por un titular de la dinastía Borbón en el Antiguo Régimen. Estos acontecimientos eran instrumentos propagandísticos al servicio de la realeza que se empleaban para fortalecer su vínculo con los súbditos, pero también para que las oligarquías urbanas (concejo y cabildo de la catedral) demostraran su lealtad a la Corona. La compleja organización y minuciosa puesta en escena del ceremonial y los festejos ofrece una idea del enorme despliegue de medios humanos y técnicos llevados a cabo por las autoridades, teniendo en cuenta el desembolso económico, cuyo dispendio repercutía negativamente en el erario público.

Published: June 2021

Abstract Amazonian livelihoods are largely dependent on rivers, with local protein consumption mainly relying on several species of fish. The UJER (Upper Juruá Extractive Reserve - Reserva Extrativista do Alto Juruá) is located in the state of Acre, bordering Peru and several indigenous areas. Here we summarize the data we collected in 1993/1994 on the population living along the banks of the Juruá, Tejo, Bagé, Igarapé São João and Breu rivers on crop cultivation, animal husbandry, and use of game and fish resources. We interviewed 133 individuals (94 on the Juruá and Tejo, 16 on Bagé, 16 on Igarapé São João and 7 on Breu rivers). Our results include a comprehensive description on local livelihoods, including the most important fish species for local subsistence considering gender and seasonality, the main husbandry and game species, and the items cultivated on the local agriculture. Whenever more recent information was available in the literature, we compared changes in livelihoods over time in the same region and also with the recent patterns observed in the Lower and in the Middle Juruá River. We hope to provide useful information to understand temporal changes in local livelihoods, which can help adapt and shape the ecological management in the region.

Published: June 2021

Abstract The evolution of beauty market and personal care is constant in Brazil as well in the rest of the world. Technological advances have brought up nanotechnology to the cosmetological field, employing active principles at atoms enveloped by vesicles, in order to take the active principle precisely to the target tissue to optimize the results achieved because of the considerable ease to cross skin barriers. Manufacturing of nanotechnology cosmetics is confronted with low absorption capacity. One of the many active principle found in cosmetic industry is caffeine, a pseudoalkaloid from the xanthine group used as a stimulant with the mechanism of the lipolytic action. This active is widely used in a esthetics and cosmetics field in treatments involving dysfunctions such as localized fat and fibroedema geloid. To work out perfectly, the principle active need to interact and create a set of factors that includes lipolysis intensification. The caffeine encapsulation in gel-based nanocosmetics has the purpose of taking this active up to the adipocyte, the target cell, for mentioned dysfunctions treatment. Thus, we aim to present a review of how has been, the use of caffeine in the production of cosmetics.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT Microhabitat factors associated with the habitat of barking deer (Muntiacus vaginalis) were examined and compared between summer and winter seasons. Habitat characteristics and preferred habitat were measured by locating direct and indirect signs. To quantify the habitat utilization of barking deer, each selected study site was sampled for floral diversity from 2015 to 2017. Quadrats were deployed along transect lines to determine seasonal distribution. Barking deer were not evenly distributed across vegetation types in the study area; they occurred more often in the broad-leaved forest than in Chir pine forest, at an elevational range of 550-850 m, in thick vegetation on steep slopes. The most preferred habitat included trees and shrubs with 30% and 69% cover, respectively. Barking deer avoided thicker tree cover, possibly as it hinders movement and escape from predators. No significant difference (χ2 = 6.37, df = 3, p = 0.19) in seasonal vegetation cover was recorded.
Population attributes of Littoraria angulifera (Gastropoda: Littorinidae) in mangroves in Bahia State, northeastern Brazil
Authors: Boehs G. , Freitas L. A. de
Published: June 2021

Abstract Littoraria angulifera (Lamarck, 1822) is an estuarine gastropod of tropical occurrence, which lives mainly on trunks of mangrove tree species. This study aimed to evaluate the population attributes of this species, such as abundance, space-time distribution, sex ratio and recruitment in mangroves in Bahia State, northeastern Brazil. The specimens were collected monthly throughout 2018, on trunks of the red mangrove Rhizophora mangle L. at two heights and on two horizontal levels. Specimens that were on the marine grass Spartina alterniflora Loisel were also collected. After counting, biometrics and sexing, the specimens were returned alive to the environment. The average size and weight of L. angulifera was higher (p<0.05) in places with taller and less sparse trees and the vertical distribution on the trunks showed a preference for strata close to the soil. Both results are related to shading and protection against desiccation. Females were more abundant than males, at an approximate sex ratio F: M of 1.4: 1. Recruits were observed throughout the period, showing continuous reproduction of the species with a recruitment peak in spring (September to November). The study revealed the importance of keep the mangroves intact to allow the maintenance of the natural stocks of the species.

Published: June 2021

Abstract The yellow clam is a sand-burrowing bivalve that inhabits the dissipative beaches from southern Brazil to the north coast of Argentina. In the last decades, populations of this species have been impacted by mass mortality events, overfishing and other anthropogenic activities. The production of juveniles in captivity would allow feasibility studies to be carried out to restore the natural stock as well as the production in aquaculture systems. Given the scarcity of studies on the maintenance of this species in captivity, a culture system and a management protocol were developed and tested. Wild-caught clams (total length ≥50 mm) were used in a series of 14 day-long trials. Survival was higher in clams that were allowed to bury into the sand. A permanent ink marker covered with a thin layer of a quick-hardening adhesive proved to be a reliable method to tag clams. The maintenance of yellow clams in this system resulted in high survival and growth, increases in the condition factor and oocyte diameter, and a relative advancement of gonadal development.

The results showed that the highest percentage of saturated fatty acids (SFA) was in Holothuria nobilis and the lowest percentage was recorded in Holothuria scabra. The highest percentage of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) was recorded in Pearsonothuria graeffei while the lowest percentage was recorded in Holothuria atra. The highest percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) was recorded in Holothuria nobilis and the lowest percentage was recorded in Holothuria atra. The highest percentage of omega-3 fatty acids was recorded in Stichopus hermanni however, the lowest percentage was recorded in Diadema setosum. The highest percentage of omega-6 fatty acids was recorded in Bohadschia vitiensis where, the lowest percentage was recorded in Holothuria atra. In addition, nonessential amino acid (NEAA) glycine were the highest in all species and serine was the lowest while Essential amino acid (EAA) arginine was the highest and cysteine was the lowest. All of the NEAA recorded highest concentrations in S. hermanni except proline. The recorded essential amino acids were histidine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, and leucine. The latter was high in Pearsonothuria graeffei. Tyrosine, valine, threonine, and arginine were high in Stichopus hermanni. The present study proved that sea cucumbers has great nutritional value.

Abstract: Introduction: Considering the high prevalence of mental health problems among medical students, medical schools should be ethically committed to promote student’s mental health, offering health services and prevention strategies. Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to identify scientific publications on mental health services offered by Brazilian universities to medical students, as well as the professionals involved and the types of interventions most often offered. Method: Systematic literature review, following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). The Scielo, PubMed/Medline, Lilacs, ERIC, The Cochrane Library and CAPES databases were searched for studies published until August 2020, as well as theses and dissertations. The studies were screened, selected, analyzed and relevant data were extracted by two independent reviewers. Results: 16 studies were included. The identified mental health services resort to different strategies towards a common goal of promoting medical students’ mental health. The interventions most frequently found in these services are brief psychotherapy, psychiatric care, psychological-educational guidance and mentoring programs. Most services were created to attend medical students and some of these have been extended to other undergraduate students. In the analyzed services, there is a predominance of multidisciplinary teams, which differ regarding the number and categories of professionals involved. Conclusion: Mental health support services for medical students in Brazil differ both in terms of how they work within the institutions and in terms of the involved professionals. It was observed that publications on these services are scarce when compared to the number of institutions that offer the undergraduate medical course in Brazil. Aiming to expand and consolidate actions aimed at promoting medical students’ mental health in Brazilian higher education institutions, further research on this topic is required.
Struggling for new narratives in slums and peripheries: complex citizenships amid material and cultural activisms
Authors: Comelli Thaisa Cristina
Published: June 2021

Resumo O presente artigo tem como objetivo debater e explorar os novos ativismos em favelas, cujo foco se posiciona na história, na cultura e na identidade desses territórios. Argumentamos aqui que, diferentemente do tradicional ativismo urbano comumente abordado na literatura (focado em demandas de natureza material), os novos ativismos buscam adicionar, a essas lutas, uma disputa pela narrativa sobre o território. Exploramos essas manifestações à luz de debates sobre a transição conceitual da cidadania e sobre identidades interseccionais. Especialmente, questionamos a existência de uma suposta identidade de favelado na qual os discursos e narrativas hegemônicas sobre a cidade, ora podem ser reproduzidos, ora podem ser subvertidos e utilizados na construção de lutas e ativismos urbanos insurgentes.

This paper overviews the fabrication, microstructural characteristics, mechanical properties and tribological behaviour of B4C reinforced aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs). The stir casting procedure and parameters used to fabricate the Al-B4C composites are discussed. The influence of physical parameters such as applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance on tribological behaviour is analysed. The role of the mechanically mixed layer (MML) and wear mechanisms on the wear behaviour and friction coefficient are emphasised. The overview of tribological behaviour revealed that the Al-B4C composites possess excellent abrasion resistance and the ability to operate over a wide range of physical parameters. The Al-B4C composites exhibited better tribological behaviour when compared with the composites reinforced with conventional reinforcement particles (SiC).
The Reliance on Lifestyle Audits for Public Officials to Curb Corruption and Tax Evasion in Nigeria

Widespread corruption in the Nigerian public service is having a far-reaching detrimental effect on the economy. Public officers and other policy makers that formulate socio-economic policies are the main perpetrators of corruption in Nigeria. This article focusses on the viability of lifestyle audits for public officials as a strategy for combating such corruption, the proceeds of which are usually laundered and warehoused either offshore or in Nigeria with the assistance of professionals such as bankers and lawyers. If such warehoused wealth is discovered it is usually forfeited to the treasury of the government of Nigeria, after the trial of the offenders. This article interrogates the adequacy of the relevant legislation and the efficacy of the statutory bodies responsible for lifestyle audits in Nigeria, such as the Code of Conduct Bureau, which is discussed, as are the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, 2010, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act, 2004, and the income tax reporting framework administered by the Federal Inland Revenue Service. It appears that the provisions relating to lifestyle audits under the Nigerian statutes are not robust enough to curb corruption and tax evasion. In addition, the enforcement of such lifestyle audits is hindered by the immunity granted to certain Nigerian public officers and jurisdictional conflicts in prosecuting corruption cases.

Los insectos son los organismos más exitosos sobre la tierra, constituyen más de las tres cuartas partes de la vida conocida en el planeta (Wolff, 2006). En Colombia se han descrito más de 15 000 especies, equivalentes al 10 % de las que en realidad se cree que existen (Global Biodiversity Information Facility [GBIF] (citado en Sistema Integrado de Biodiversidad Colombia [SIB Colombia], 2016)). Su abundancia, diversidad y distribución se atribuyen no solo a su morfología, que ha tenido grandes adaptaciones, sino también, a las relaciones tan estrechas que han establecido con otros organismos. Prácticamente no existe un solo organismo en la tierra, sésil o no, que no posea un insecto como asociado histórico (Wolff, 2006), lo que los ha convertido en importantes agentes polinizadores, controladores biológicos, recicladores de nutrientes, entre otros (Blas y Del Hoyo, 2013)

Bu araştırma ile psikolojik danışmanların yas danışmanlığına yönelik algılarını, deneyimlerini ve Türkiye’deki uygulamalara ilişkin değerlendirmelerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma deseninde yer alan fenomenolojik yöntem kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunda, ölçüt örnekleme yöntemine göre belirlenen, İstanbul’da ikamet eden 10 psikolojik danışman yer almıştır. Veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği ile yöneltilen sorular yoluyla elde edilip, betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, katılımcılar yas ile çalışmayı mesleki süreçte her an karşılarına çıkabilecek bir durum olarak gördüklerini; yasın sadece ölümle ilişkilendirilmediğini; yas danışmanlığı kavramının profesyonel yardım sürecini sınırlandırdığını; özel olarak, yas danışmanlığı yardım talebiyle gelinmese bile çalışılan konuların altında gecikmiş, ertelenmiş yasın çıkabildiğini ve kendilerine yakın buldukları kuramsal yaklaşım ve teknikleri kullanmayı tercih ettiklerini belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca, kişisel deneyimleri, yetkinlikleri ve değerlendirmeleri üzerinden yas danışmanlığına ilişkin varoluşsal açıklama getirdikleri; yas sürecini kültürel ve toplumsal faktörlerle nitelendirdikleri; mesleki açıdan aldıkları eğitimi yasla çalışmak için yeterli bulmadıklarını; kuramsal ve uygulamalı derslere ve eğitimlere ağırlık verilmesi gerekliliğini vurguladıkları ortaya konmuştur.
SOSYAL BİLGİLER DERSİNDE OKUL DIŞI ÖĞRENME VE ÖĞRETİM ORTAMI OLARAK ADALET SARAYLARININ KULLANIMINA YÖNELİK ÖĞRETMEN ADAYI GÖRÜŞLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Araştırmanın temel amacı sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının sosyal bilgiler derslerinde okul dışı öğrenme ve öğretim ortamı olarak adalet saraylarının kullanımına yönelik görüşlerini ortaya çıkarmak ve bu doğrultuda bir değerlendirme yapmaktır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomenoloji kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu daha önceden öğrenme ve öğretim ortamı olarak adalet sarayında gerçekleştirilen örnek bir süreç deneyimi yaşamış toplam 33 sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada elde verilerin toplanmasında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu, verilerin çözümlenmesinde ise içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının okul dışı öğrenme ve öğretim ortamı olarak adalet saraylarının sosyal bilgiler dersinde hem öğretim hem de öğrenme ortamı olarak yasama, yürütme ve yargı, hukuk okuryazarlığı, adalet gibi içerikleri aktarmada kullanılabileceği görüşüne sahip oldukları bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Öğretmen adayları, buna ek olarak sosyal bilgiler dersi kapsamında adalet saraylarından çeşitli kavram ve değerlerin (yargı, hak) öğrenilebileceğini, adalet sarayı kullanımının içeriğin kalıcılığını sağlaması açısından faydalı olduğunu, ancak kullanım öncesinde (izin, ulaşım) ve sırasında (süreç kontrolü) çeşitli sorunlar yaşanabileceğini ileri sürmüşlerdir. Bu bağlamda birtakım önlemler alınarak adalet saraylarının sosyal bilgiler dersinde hem öğrenme hem de öğretim ortamı olarak kullanılması önerilebilir.

Authors: BAHAR Mehmet , YILMAZ Mustafa
Published: June 2021

Her bireyin sağlıklı şekilde yaşamını idame ettirebilmesi için yeterli ve dengeli beslenmesi oldukça önemlidir. Bireyin yeterli ve dengeli beslenebilmesi için kendi beslenme sürecini nitelikli şekilde yönetmesi gerekmektedir. Bu durum gıda okuryazarı olabilmekle mümkündür. Bireyin vücudunun ihtiyaç duyduğu besin ögeleri ve enerji miktarına uygun şekilde beslenebilmesi için sahip olması gereken, gıda okuryazarlığına ilişkin bilgi, beceri, tutum, davranış ve değerler nitelikli bir eğitimle sağlanabilir. Erken yaş dönemlerinden itibaren gıda okuryazarlığına ilişkin nitelikli eğitimle kazanılacak beceriler, davranışa dönüştürülerek yaşam boyu sürdürülebilir olmalıdır. Bu bağlamda öğretim sürecinde gıda okuryazarı birey yetiştirmeye yönelik verilecek eğitimler önem arz etmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, gıda okuryazarlığı bileşenlerinin öğretim programlarında yer alma durumunun belirlenmesidir. Araştırmada açıklayıcı sıralı karma desen benimsenmiştir. Araştırmanın veri toplama aracını Okul Öncesi, Hayat Bilgisi, Fen Bilimleri, Beden Eğitimi ve Oyun, Beden Eğitimi ve Spor, Biyoloji dersleri öğretim programlarıyla Bahar ve Yılmaz (2020) tarafından belirlenen, gıda okuryazarlığının bileşenleri listesi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, incelenen her bir alandan iki uzman olmak üzere toplam 10 akademisyen oluşturmaktadır. İçerik analizi sonuçları, Hayat Bilgisi Öğretim Programı’nın gıda okuryazarlığının boyutları ve bileşenleri bağlamında diğerlerine kıyasla daha kapsamlı olduğunu göstermiştir. Ancak genel sonuçlar itibariyle öğretim programlarının gıda okuryazarı birey yetiştirmeye yönelik bileşenleri yeterince içermediği ifade edilebilir. Elde edilen sonuçlar ve ilgili literatür tartışılarak öğretim programlarının gıda okuryazarlığının bileşenleri doğrultusunda yeniden revize edilebileceği önerisinde bulunulmuştur.
