Authors: Ghasemzadeh Esmat , Keramati Mohammad Ali , Mehrinejad Safia , Mehrani Azadeh
Published: June 2024

Objective: The purpose of this research is to apply the meta-synthesis technique to identify optimization components of FinTech based on artificial intelligence (AI) indicators in the financial market. AI offers the financial industry a unique opportunity to reduce costs, improve customer experience, and increase operational efficiency, among other benefits. Financial companies can provide excellent financial services to their clients. Various features of AI are used by different FinTech companies worldwide to make operations safer and more efficient. Methodology: The researcher employed a systematic review and meta-synthesis approach to analyze the results and findings of previous researchers. By following the seven-step method of Sandelowski and Barroso, the researcher identified influential factors. Out of 198 articles, 35 were selected based on the CASP method. The validity of the analysis was confirmed using Holsti’s coefficient, Scott’s Pi coefficient, Cohen's kappa index, and Krippendorff's alpha. For reliability measurement and quality control, the transcription method was used, which was found to have an excellent agreement level for the identified indicators. The results from the data analysis, conducted using MAXQDA software, led to the identification of 21 initial codes in four categories. Findings: Based on the meta-synthesis method, 21 codes were identified in four categories. The validity and reliability of the research findings were confirmed. The identified categories include machine learning algorithms, text analysis and information extraction, portfolio optimization, and recommender systems. In FinTech optimization, one of the fundamental components is machine learning algorithms. Conclusion: The use of artificial neural networks for predicting market prices, detecting price patterns, and structuring an optimal investment portfolio has significantly improved the performance of capital management systems. Additionally, genetic and evolutionary algorithms have been effective in optimizing parameters and structures of financial models, aiding in achieving optimal investment solutions. However, it is essential to recognize that while AI indicators can enhance financial system performance, one must also be aware of the associated limitations and risks. These include issues such as model complexity, sensitivity to input data, and risks related to machine decision-making.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Neuregulin is activated by exercise and has been implicated as a mediator of the beneficial effects of exercise training on metabolism. The aim of this study was to effect of high-intensity interval training and high-fat diet on NRG-1 and PGC-1α in aging rats’ heart tissue. Materials and Methods: 20 male Wistar rats aged 48 to 52 weeks were purchased and kept inside standard cages at a temperature of 22±2 degrees Celsius. After one week of acclimatization to the laboratory environment, the animals were divided into four groups (normal diet, normal diet+training, high-fat diet, and high-fat diet+ training). According to the research design, the training group underwent 8 weeks of training. This was followed by high-intensity interval training at an intensity of 85% to 90% of VO2max. Two-way ANOVA (DIET×HIIT) were used to examine (P<0.05). Results: The findings indicated a High-fat diet had a significant and decreasing effect on NRG-1 (p=0.004, F=11.17). Exercise did not have a significant effect (p=0.039, F=5.04) on NRG-1, although it increased NRG-1 levels. The interactive effect of diet and exercise on NRG-1 was not statistically significant (p=0.93, F=0.008). The findings indicate that diet reduced and exercise increased NRG-1 levels. In fact, the effect of exercise in the high-fat diet group reduced the differences and led to non-significant results statistically. Conclusion: Eight weeks of HIIT training, along with a normal diet, led to an increase in the expression of neuregulin in the heart tissue of aged mice. The expression of PGC-1α also increased following the HIIT. This increase can be attributed to the increased neuregulin expression, leading to improved mitochondrial biogenesis.

Published: June 2024

Background: Maintaining an optimal weight is essential for wrestlers, given their competition in weight-classified categories. However, many wrestlers resort to unhealthy methods of rapid weight loss, such as drastic caloric restriction and dehydration, which can adversely affect their overall wellbeing. Objective: This study aimed to examine the impact of a two-week increase in exercise volume on weight loss, serum oxidative stress, and inflammation in young wrestlers. Methods and Materials: Twenty wrestlers (aged 15-19, weight 63.47 kg) participated in a 2-week exercise intervention in addition to their regular weekly wrestling drills. The intervention consisted of resistance training, high-intensity interval training, and speed training. Wrestlers weighed daily over 2-week span. The participants' superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured both before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test conducted through SPSS software, with a significant level set at p < 0.05. Results: The 2-week intervention resulted in significant weight loss (p<0.001). Within group comparisons found serum levels of IL-6, SOD, and TAC significantly increased from pre-to-post testing, but MDA did not change significantly. Conclusion: In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that a two-week increase in exercise volume can be an effective strategy for promoting weight loss and reducing oxidative stress in young wrestlers. The findings suggest that the improvement in antioxidant status is likely a result of the body's response to increased inflammation, as indicated by changes in inflammatory markers.

Published: June 2024

Objective: The emigration of elite athletes from Iran has adversely affected the nation's growth and development. This study seeks to identify the determinants influencing the migration of elite Iranian athletes. Methods and Materials: This research utilized a qualitative approach employing systematic grounded theory methodology. Participants were purposefully selected and included male and female national athletes who had changed citizenship and relocated abroad for athletic purposes. Data collection was conducted through 10 Persian and English articles and 16 interviews. Findings: The data analysis resulted in the identification of 136 initial codes. These codes were consolidated into 12 subcategories, which included personal reasons, sports growth and development, favorable conditions in the destination country, personal weaknesses and psychological elements, resources, facilities and infrastructure, economic problems in the country, financial issues for athletes, sports management weaknesses, political restrictions, cultural challenges, and social issues. Furthermore, these subcategories were organized into three main categories: intra-personal factors, economic factors, and extra-personal factors. Conclusion: The study suggests that senior officials should address discriminatory perspectives, ensure justice within the sports sector, provide equal opportunities, enhance management practices, offer economic support to athletes, combat discrimination, decouple politics from sports, and respect the privacy of athletes, particularly women.
It was Teacher Identities, Learning and Teaching Experience that Affected Teaching Practices
Authors:   Inha Technical College, Kim Jung-Hyun , Koo Soo-Hyun ,   Seoul National University
Published: June 2024

Teacher identity is complex, changeable over time, and a poly-component assembly like the social identity. Since there were some problems in analyzing teacher identity with the existing binary methods using NNEST (Non-Native English-Speaking Teacher) and NEST (Native English-Speaking Teacher), various analyzing methods were adopted in this study, such as investigating the linguistic identity of the participants. The primary purpose of the study was to investigate teacher identity of two female professors teaching English conversation in Korea and find out how their different teacher identities and learning and teaching experiences affected their teaching practices. Data collection consisted of six semi-structured interview sessions with two participants and one classroom observation for six months. To triangulate the data, the study analyzed the classroom observation field notes and background survey sheets along with the transcripts of the interviews. The present study discovered that the first participant (EB-elective bilingual) positioned herself as a NNEST and Korean who spent most of her lifetime practicing and teaching English in Korea with studying experience for about three and half years in the U.S. In the meantime, the second participant, a circumstantial bilingual, perceived herself as a NEST and Korean, who studied and practiced English in the U.S. and in some Asian countries but taught English language mostly in Korea. Even though both professors confessed that a well-prepared class was important, their different linguistic identities, learning and teaching experience caused the different teaching practices. In addition to such findings, the present study attempted to uncover the relationships between teachers’ NNEST identity and their actual teaching practices in the classroom. Hence, this study offers important implications for teaching English conversation in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) contexts.
Transnational English Teachers Negotiating Translanguaging In and Outside the Classroom
Authors: Núñez Asomoza Alejandra
Published: June 2024

Transnational youths develop complex linguistic repertoires because of their intricate mobility patterns and their exposure to multiple literacy and cultural frameworks. This leads them to develop malleable linguistic practices –defined as translanguaging– by means of creatively drawing on their linguistic resources to make sense of their worlds Building on their knowledge of English and their experiences abroad, Mexican transnational youths often find in language teaching an opportunity to start a professional career in Mexico. This article shows how these transnational English teachers negotiate their translanguaging practices in and outside of the language classroom. The analysis of semi-structured interviews and writing compositions reveal the tensions around prevailing monolingual ideologies inside EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms and the flexible languaging that the participants display in their everyday lives. The transnational teachers in this study also report on the use of translanguaging as an empowering strategy for their students and themselves.

Authors:   Walailak University, Apridayani Aisah
Published: June 2024

This study reported on the use of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies of Thailand EFL students, in relationship with students’ English proficiency in CEFR levels. It involved 152 second-year undergraduate non-English major students (19.7% male, 78.3% female) at a university in Thailand. First, the students took an English proficiency test assessing listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills framed by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for Languages; then, they completed a set of surveys focusing on the use of SRL strategies in English learning. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. The results revealed that the most-used strategy by A1, A2, B1, and B2 students was Goal Setting and Planning. A little significant difference in SRL strategies use between A1 and A2 students was observed. However, significant differences in the use of SRL strategies were observed between A1 and A2 groups and the B2 group. This study barely confirmed significant differences between the B1 group and the groups at A1, A2, and B2 levels in the use of SRL strategies. Lastly, a negative significant relationship was established between the use of students’ SRL strategies and their English proficiency. Some recommendations for future studies are suggested in this study

Multimetallic nanocatalysts have remarkably revealed activities in various catalytic applications. Herein, the ternary nanocatalysts based on palladium-vanadium-cobalt were successfully synthesized through the reduction of their salts with sodium borohydride including impregnating of activated carbon (AC) substrate with colloid solution of metallic nanoparticles (PdVCo/C). The immobile of trimetallic PdVCo on AC was evidenced by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-VIS spectroscopy. TEM imaging showed that the PdVCo particles size is about 7 nm. The trimetallic nanocatalysts were characterized in transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl substrates to alcohol product which was defined by GC (FID detector). The obtained result is that the conversion of the carbonyl substrates is over 73% in the case of PdVCo nano-catalyst in the presence of potassium hydroxide.

Published: June 2024

Small and medium-scale oxygen concentrators mostly use zeolite adsorbent materials and pressure swing adsorption cycle (PSA or O2-PSA). Oxygen concentrator materials are molecular sieve materials that can selectively adsorb nitrogen to produce concentrated oxygen from the air. In this study, we will manufacture granular adsorbent materials based on 13X zeolite synthesized from natural Vietnamese raw materials, using sol-silica, CMC, boehmite, and kaolinite as binders. The sample was tested for its ability to increase oxygen concentration from air on household oxygen concentrators. The results show that the sample is capable of increasing oxygen concentration to over 90 % by volume with a flow rate of 0.3 L/min.

Published: June 2024

CQDs, characteristically quasispheroidal carbon nanoparticles composed of amorphous to crystalline carbon base,  is a prospective semiconductor quantum dots owing to its excellent optical absorptivity, chemical stability, nontoxicity, and facile synthesis. In this study, we demonstrated the impregnation method to integrate CQDs, formed from chitosan with MIL-101(Cr) from terephthalic acid recycled by PET waste to synthesize CQDs/MIL-101(Cr) nanocomposite. After the hybridization of CQDs with MIL-101(Cr), the band gap energy of the 50% CQDs/MIL-101(Cr) has the lowest Eg (1.98 eV), allowing the demonstration of photocatalytic activity under high visible light. This material was tested in the photodegradation RR-195 dye and compared with the pristine components. The highest RR-195 degradation efficiency was recorded when using catalyst mass: 50 mg of 50% CQDs/MIL-101(Cr) catalyst samples, dye concentration: 50 ppm after 4 h under xenon lamp 300w was 96%. These results could promote a new material as a new semiconductor that can be used to protect water from further pollution.

Published: June 2024

Hydroxyapatite has a nanostructure with the chemical formula of Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. In this paper, hydroxyapatite is used to study the ability to adsorb Co2+ ions. The influence of some factors on Co2+ adsorption capacity and efficiency has been studied. Co2+ adsorption efficiency and capacity reached 85.08% and 6.38 mg/g under the suitable conditions: hydroxyapatite mass of 0.2 g/50 mL solution, 50 mg/L initial Co2+ concentration, pH 5.0, exposure time of 30 minutes at room temperature (25oC). The process of desorption of Co2+ from the loaded adsorbent and recovery of metallic Co was also studied. Cobalt recovery efficiency reached 94.58% under appropriate conditions: applied current 7.5 mA, electrolysis time of 10 hours, loaded hydroxyapatite mass of 0.1 g, temperature 60oC. After desorption process, the adsorbent was regenerated for further studies. The adsorption isotherm was studied based on two Langmuir and Freundlich models. The adsorption kinetics were examined using two pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models.

Authors: Herman Darmawan  , Nuril Huda  , Dina Hermina
Published: June 2024

There are two ways to process test results to determine graduation standards, namely Norm Referenced Test (NRT) and Criteria Referenced Test (CRT). However, they differ in data processing function, which affects the outcome of data processing. Because the author tends to process score results based on norms with the reasoning that there are no absolute provisions put forth by one party in one direction. Therefore, through this article, the author tries to explain in depth about this Norm Referenced Test along with examples of score processing. This study uses a literature review with a qualitative approach. The results of this study show that with Norm Referenced Test, students' graduation will be determined by summing up or finding the average score from the final learning outcomes, and that's how they will be declared as either passing or failing participants. Like the test results processing discussion, where out of 25 students, after calculating the average score it was found to be 67.92, therefore if a student's score does not meet this requirement, they will be declared as not passing. This means among the group table receiving scores below 65 will need remedial, while scores of 70 and above are declared passing..
Investigación e Intervención con Personas Adultos Mayores desde el Trabajo Social
Authors: Pérez Tovar Francisca Elizabeth
Published: June 2024

La situación del adulto mayor en México se caracteriza por ser heterogénea, ya que no se envejece bajo las mismas condiciones, personales, familiares, económicas y sociales; lo que genera profundas desigualdades sociales que se observan tanto en entornos rurales como urbanos. La Academia Nacional de Investigación en Trabajo Social tiene como objetivo fomentar la investigación social en México desde el enfoque disciplinar de Trabajo Social. En esta perspectiva la investigación disciplinar favorece la retroalimentación teórica/práctica y la construcción de metodologías que permitan generar respuestas a las problemáticas micro sociales de los grupos, las familias y las localidades con las que se interactúa. Este libro es producto de investigaciones que las y los trabajadores sociales centraron su estudio en el envejecimiento, en cuanto a las situaciones, estilos de vida y calidad de vida que presentan las personas adultas mayores, en nuestro país. La obra integra 5 capítulos, los cuales muestran la realidad social que viven las personas mayores en diferentes contextos del país, pero que se caracterizan por la coexistencia de diferentes factores que merman su calidad de vida. En este sentido radica la importancia de destacar y promover la intervención de Trabajo Social con las personas mayores, desde diferentes ámbitos y niveles de atención, como son: la prevención de aquellos aspectos que puedan llegar a afectar a la persona mayor; la atención a las situaciones-problema que presentan y atenuar en la medida de lo posible los efectos de esta problemática social.

RESUMO Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente o efeito da posição prona na intubação endotraqueal e na mortalidade em pacientes com COVID-19 não intubados com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo. Métodos: Registramos o protocolo (CRD42021286711) e pesquisamos quatro bancos de dados e literatura cinzenta desde o início até 31 de dezembro de 2022. Incluímos estudos observacionais e ensaios clínicos. Não houve limite de data ou idioma de publicação. Excluímos relatos de casos, séries de casos, estudos não disponíveis em texto completo e estudos que incluíram pacientes < 18 anos de idade. Resultados: Incluímos 10 estudos observacionais, 8 ensaios clínicos, 3.969 pacientes, 1.120 eventos de intubação endotraqueal e 843 mortes. Todos os estudos tinham baixo risco de viés (ferramentas Newcastle-Ottawa Scale e Risk of Bias 2). Observamos que a pronação consciente reduziu as chances de intubação endotraqueal em 44% (RC 0,56; IC95% 0,40 - 0,78) e a mortalidade em 43% (RC 0,57; IC95% 0,39 - 0,84) em pacientes com COVID-19 não intubados com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo. Esse efeito protetor sobre a intubação endotraqueal e a mortalidade foi mais robusto naqueles que passaram > 8 horas por dia na pronação consciente (RC 0,43; IC95% 0,26 - 0,72 e OR 0,38; IC95% 0,24 - 0,60, respectivamente). A certeza da evidência, de acordo com os critérios GRADE, foi moderada. Conclusão: A pronação consciente diminuiu as chances de intubação endotraqueal e mortalidade, especialmente quando os pacientes passaram > 8 horas por dia na pronação consciente e tratamento na unidade de terapia intensiva. Contudo, nossos resultados devem ser interpretados com cautela devido às limitações na avaliação de ensaios clínicos randomizados, ensaios clínicos não randomizados e estudos observacionais. Não obstante, apesar das revisões sistemáticas com metanálises de ensaios clínicos randomizados, devemos ter em mente que esses estudos permanecem heterogêneos do ponto de vista clínico e metodológico.

Abstract: This research deals lucidly and objectively with the possibility of applying the epistemological practice of transdisciplinarity to the science of law, as well as developing a transdisciplinary curriculum in law. To this end, it first presents some characteristics of transdisciplinary thinking, highlighting the complexity and development of transdisciplinary research (as compared to disciplinary, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research), which can be more easily addressed in law. It then presents Thomas Kuhn’s thoughts on the evolution of the sciences, highlighting scientific revolutions, the process by which one paradigm succeeds another ─ a model that inspires the idea of transdisciplinarity in law. All this is accompanied by numerous examples. He also analyzes some national regulations in Brazil and Romania, such as Resolution CNE/CES No. 5 and Resolution No. 75 of the National Council of Justice, identifying the forums of transdisciplinarity in the provisions of these documents (which set guidelines for law). Finally, it identifies legal positivism as a paradigm of legal science and presents some of its limitations in the face of transdisciplinarity and the evolution of social phenomena (characterising its crisis), giving the example of international law, in which context it is proposed to challenge the transdisciplinarity of law.
The HPTD-M Proposal for a TD Chair: A Paradigm Shift
Authors:   Independent transdisciplinary theorist and practitioner (HPTD-M), Brazil, COSTA Leonardo da Silva Guimarães Martins da
Published: June 2024

Abstract: The Modern Age has promoted advances in technoscience and material quality of life. However, a cycle has been created in which the hypertrophy of logic and analysis does not solve the complexity of human phenomena. This author’s HPTD-M theory (Holopraxis Transdisciplinary Management) emerged in this context. The objective of this article is to provoke a comprehensive discussion on the creation of a transdisciplinary chair (TD chair) in universities, including courses of short duration for public and private organizations, effective envisaging and dialectical problem solving for issues involving the complexity of human phenomena, when the mechanistic and the systemicbiological-environmental approach are not enough. transdisciplinary Thirty-five-year research and professional experience culminated in the HPTD-M theory and a 14-hour successful TD pilot course for mediating managers in March/2023. This author’s proposal for a paradigm shift and TD Chair involves 1) A transdisciplinary course in the first semester of university graduation; 2) Simplification and flexibility to start (concepts of technoscience and complementarity); 3) The mediating professor for learning to learn and understanding, not only knowing; 4) Creation of a TD kind of Ph.D. and M.Sc. focused on the dialogue between theory praxis and generalist specialist. An MBA with more theory could be a starting point; 5) The three types of logic as tools for problem solving in dialogue with new ideas that make sense, considering the level of complexity in each concrete case; and 6) The abstract-concrete complementarity in problem solving and the concept of quaternary complementarities for troubleshooting in practice.

Published: June 2024

Abstract: The Transdisciplinary Chair in the Context of Leadership in Organizations is an innovative academic position that promotes the integration of multiple disciplines to address the complex challenges of leadership in the modern organizational environment. This chair seeks to transcend traditional boundaries between fields of study, encouraging collaboration among experts in corporate management, psychology, sociology, information technology, and other relevant areas to develop leaders capable of navigating and thriving in an everevolving business landscape. AI has played a critical role in improving the operational efficiency of organizations. The future will see an even deeper integration of this technology into the leadership context. AI will not replace leaders, but will serve as a strategic enabler, empowering them with predictive analytics, enabling more informed and faster decision-making. The future of leadership in organizations is shaping up at a rapid pace, in line with the evolution of emerging technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI). The leadership of the future will be characterized by collaboration between humans and machines. The human skills of empathy, creativity and intuition, combined with the analytical precision and data processing capacity of AI, will create a hybrid leadership model. However, the best leaders cannot be replaced by AI, and the adversities that arise in the applicability of AI have the need to identify and improve leadership skills with a transdisciplinary approach eminent, in order to enhance and help leadership focus its cognitive energy, improve its collaborative and problem-solving skills.

Sustainable Reuse of Food Waste in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for Biocomposite Reinforcement
Authors: Diambu Alif Ngimbi , Çevik Mehmet
Published: June 2024

This study explores the innovative use of biocomposites as a sustainable solution to waste proliferation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the largest sub-Saharan African country by area. The DRC faces significant environmental challenges due to the high prevalence of organic waste (48% of total waste) and plastic waste (26%). Our research addresses critical waste management issues, contributing to economic growth and public health improvements by recycling and reusing these materials. This study is unique in its focus on using inedible food waste as reinforcement in biocomposites, highlighting the untapped potential for sustainable waste management and circular economy practices in the DRC.

Optimal performance of biocomposites requires extensive research into the thermogravimetric behavior of materials and their environmental interactions. Techniques such as Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) are essential for understanding the chemical properties and enhancing the interface between biocomposite components. The recyclability of biocomposites adds another layer of sustainability, allowing materials to be reprocessed for various applications. Our study also emphasizes the importance of public participation and the need for strategic international partnerships with organizations like the World Bank, UNDP, UNEP, and AfDB to enhance waste management capacity and infrastructure. By leveraging these innovative approaches and securing goodwill from governing bodies, the DRC can move towards a greener and more sustainable future, contributing to environmental quality, economic prosperity, and social equity.

Qëllimi i këtij hulumtimi është eksplorimi i qasjeve metodike të mësimdhënësve që ndihmojnë zhvillimin e shkathtësive të buta (komunikimit dhe mendimi kritik) të nxënësve nga mësimdhënësi gjatë shtjellimit të përmbajtjeve mësimore. Mësimdhënësit e vëzhguar kanë përfunduar trajnimin për zhvillimin e shkathtësive të buta të nxënësve.
Nëpërmjet vëzhgimit të mësimdhënies, analizës së materialeve mësimore-didaktike, janë hetuar praktikat, pyetjet, sfidat dhe mundësitë e zhvillimit të shkathtësive të nxënësve.
Qasja cilësore hulumtuese është zbatuar për mbledhjen e të dhënave. Të dhënat janë mbledhur me anë të vëzhgimit, si dhe materialeve nga përgatitjet e orës mësimore. Analiza e të dhënave cilësore bazohet në metodologjinë e Creswell (2007) dhe Richardson (2009).
Rëndësia e hulumtimit është praktike dhe teorike. Rezultatet e hulumtimit ofrojnë rekomandime dhe sugjerime për rolin domethënës të mësimdhënësit në zhvillimin e shkathtësive bazë të nxënësve, por edhe do të orientojë kahet për mundësinë e ndërtimit të një teorie në hulumtimet e ardhshme të kësaj natyre.
Mostrën hulumtuese e përbëjnë njëzet mësimdhënës/e, ndërsa përzgjedhja ishte e qëllimshme. Rezultatet kërkimore dëshmojnë se trajnimi i mësimdhënësve për zhvillimin e shkathtësive të buta të nxënësve nuk ka dhënë rezultate domethënëse.

Organet e shkollës dhe funksionimi i tyre
Authors: Shala Safete
Published: June 2024

S’ka dyshim se një rol të madh dhe shumë të rëndësishmin në funksionimin normal të shkollave e kanë edhe organet e brendshme të shkollave, organet qeverisëse dhe ato profesionale, siç janë drejtori, zëvendësdrejtori, Këshilli drejtues i shkollës, Këshilli i prindërve, Këshilli i nxënësve, Këshilli i arsimtarëve, si dhe Këshilli i klasave dhe aktivet profesionale. Prandaj, duke qenë të vetëdijshëm për rolin e padiskutueshëm të tyre, institucionet përkatëse të arsimit të Republikës së Kosovës e kanë rregulluar edhe me ligj funksionimin dhe fushëveprimtarinë e tyre nëpër shkolla. Funksionimi i tyre rregullohet me Ligjin për arsimin parauniversitar të Kosovës, nr. 04/L-032.
Nëse i referohemi Ligjit për arsimin parauniversitar të Republikës së Kosovës, ekzistimi i këtyre organeve udhëheqëse dhe themelimi i tyre ka për qëllim lehtësimin e funksionimit sa më efikas të punëve në shkolla, në mënyrë që qeverisja e institucioneve shkollore të realizohet sa më profesionalisht dhe në përputhje me kërkesat bashkëkohore të arsimit kombëtar. Edhe pse drejtori i çdo institucioni është bartës dhe udhëheqës i të gjitha aktiviteteve në shkollë, duhet t’i koordinojë aktivitetet e shkollës së bashku me organet e tjera, në mënyrë që të dëgjohen dhe të plotësohen edhe kërkesat e niveleve të tjera, siç janë mësimdhënësit, prindërit dhe nxënësit, si subjekte aktive dhe të domosdoshme në aktivitetin e shkollës.
Arsimi dual dhe mundësitë e zbatimit në shkollat profesionale në Kosovë
Authors: Bujari Agim , Azemi Bashkim
Published: June 2024

Arsimi dual është një modalitet i AAP-së, i cili ofrohet në shkollat profesionale në shumicën e shteteve evropiane dhe është treguar mjaft i suksesshëm, në bazë të praktikave evropiane. Meqenëse deri më tani nuk është bërë ndonjë hulumtim për këtë problematikë, mendojmë se ky hulumtim do të ndihmojë dhe do të qartësojë nevojën e zbatimit të arsimit dual në Kosovë. Me këtë hulumtim synojmë të paraqesim rezultatet preliminare mbi mundësinë e implementimit të arsimit dual në Kosovë. Në fokus të hulumtimit, siç nënkuptohet edhe nga pyetjet e pyetësorit, ishte zbatimi i arsimit dual në Kosovë, sipas përgjigjeve të mësimdhënësve të shkollave të mesme profesionale dhe përfaqësuesve të bizneseve në Kosovë, duke përdorur metodologjinë kualitative dhe kuantitative, gjegjësisht nëpërmjet teknikave dhe instrumenteve, mbi të cilat mund të nxjerrim konkluzionet përfundimtare. Qëllimi i këtij hulumtimi është konstatimi i nivelit të mundësisë së zbatimit të arsimit dual në Kosovë. Për realizimin e këtij studimi janë përdorur disa metoda, si: Metoda e analizës teorike, Metoda e analizës së dokumentacionit, Metoda përshkruese, Metoda e krahasimit, si dhe Metoda statistikore. Rezultatet e nxjerra do të ndihmojnë MASHT-in dhe shkollat profesionale në Kosovë lidhur me mundësinë e implementimit të arsimit dual në Kosovë.
