Opinions and Attitudes of Secondary School Mathematics Teachers Towards Technology
Authors: ARDIÇ Mehmet Alper
Published: March 2021

The literature on the barriers encountered in the use of technology in education indicates that the internal barriers have a deterministic effect within this process. Therefore, it is important to determine the way teachers use technology as well as their opinions and attitudes towards technology in order to ensure effective use of technology in mathematics education. This study aims to determine the opinions and attitudes of secondary school mathematics teachers towards using technology in mathematics education. The convergent parallel design of a mixed methods study was used. The study included the participation of 57 teachers, who were determined on a voluntary basis using the convenience sampling method, from 22 different high schools in Turkey. A written opinion form and The Scale of Attitudes Towards Technology were used as data collection tools. The qualitative data obtained were analysed using descriptive and content analysis methods; quantitative data were analysed using multivariate analysis of variance. It was understood that the participants often used only smartboards in their lessons and they preferred teacher-centred classroom applications, which did not involve the hardware and software that allowed student interaction. It was found that the attitudes of mathematics teachers towards technology were “positive” which had a positive effect on using technology in lessons. It was observed that the attitudes of teachers towards technology did not change according to the training they received on using technology in lessons. It was concluded that the attitudes of teachers differed significantly across the scale or in various factors according to their age, the frequency of technology use in their lessons, the variety of hardware and software they use, and their opinions about the use of technology by the students. It can be argued that the positive attitudes of teachers towards technology had a positive effect on using technology in lessons.

Authors: CARVALHO Marisa , CABRAL Ilídia , VERDASCA José , ALVES José
Published: March 2021

Schools in various parts of the world adopt plans or projects to improve the quality of school processes and students’ learning. Therefore, it is important to understand the processes of strategic planning such as teachers’ participation on decision making related to school plans. Apparently a limited number of studies have hitherto been conducted on teachers’ participation in strategic planning. The purpose of this paper is to examine teachers’ participation in decision making and strategic action planning in Portuguese schools. A survey employing self-administered scales was taken. Teachers' participation, other stakeholders’ participation, planning, and decision making, professional development, plans’ importance and validation, and ownership were the dimensions considered. Data were collected from 804 Portuguese teachers. Participants reported moderate to high levels of participation in strategic action plans, but they also reported moderate to low levels of participation in overall school decisions, plans’ importance and validation, sense of ownership and recognition of relevant opportunities for professional development. These results indicate that participation and collaboration are essential determinants of plan and action success in educational contexts. The participative nature of decision making and strategic planning seems to underscore the relevance, value and adequacy of schools’ plans from the perspective of teachers. However, differences in these dimensions related to teachers’ experience and professional roles also point to lower levels of participation from some teachers, which may hinder their involvement in school actions and improvement. This study suggests the need to explore the dominant types of participation and collaboration in Portuguese schools and to analyse the importance of other variables.

Counter-Guarantee: Reasons for Emerging, the Essence and Legal Regulation
Authors: Yatsenko E. V.
Published: March 2021

The paper defines the reasons for the emergence of such a method of ensuring obligations as a counterguarantee. The author highlights five factors that influence the choice of this instrument. The author draws conclusions that the counter-guarantee emerged as a result of globalization of the economy and development of international trade. This effective and convenient instrument allows the creditor to obtain a guarantee of an acceptable bank and minimize the creditor’s costs and risks in international transactions. The author argues that the core of the counter-guarantee is formed by the unilateral obligation of the counter-guarantee bank encouraging the issuing bank to issue a direct guarantee, which is the purpose of the counter-guarantee. The paper examines the features of the legal regulation of the counter-guarantee in Russia and abroad, including a retrospective analysis of the problems of the legal regulation of a counter-guarantee in Russia. In particular, the author highlights the difficulty of issuing a counter-guarantee under Russian law before 2015 due to the lack of regulation of this instrument in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and mismatch of the design of the bank guarantee and counter-guarantee in the old version of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation The paper analyzes judicial and banking practices in the field of counter-guarantee provision.
The Problem of Freedom of Association: A Comparative Legal Study of Provisions of Laws on Trade Unions of the States of the Eurasian Economic Union, Taking into Account International Labor Standards
Authors: Ramankulov К. S.
Published: March 2021

The paper investigates the norms of laws on trade unions of the states of the Eurasian Economic Union, with respect to international labor standards, in the context of the problems of freedom of association in a comparative legal aspect. In this regard, trade union monopolies (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan) are challenging the provision of the independence of trade unions in a number of countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. The paper concludes that there is a significant inconsistency, in particular, Art. 11-15 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 211-V "On Trade Unions" and Art. 7-12 of a new Law (draft) of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Trade Unions" to the principles of Art. 2 and 11 of the ILO Convention No. 87. The paper examines the trends associated with the expansion of some trade union rights in terms of their relationship with civil rights and freedoms and international labor standards. On this basis, it is concluded that in international legal acts, trade union rights are considered as a complex legal institution containing norms related to civil and political rights, to economic, social and cultural rights.

Published: March 2021

Intracellular signaling mediated by the HMGB1 protein, an agonist of TLRs, is considered as a possible target for the correction of pathologies of the neuroimmune system, however, the expression level of the Hmgb1 gene has not been previously studied in various brain structures of rats exposed to prolonged alcoholization followed by ethanol withdrawal. The study showed that long-term use of ethanol caused to an increase in the level of Hmgb1 mRNA in the striatum of rat brain. Alcohol withdrawal changed the level Hmgb1 mRNA in the striatum and amygdala on the 1st and 14th day. The data obtained may indicate that in different structures of the brain there are multidirectional changes in the molecular mechanisms of the neuroimmune response with prolonged use of ethanol and its withdrawal.

Authors: Santos-Pastor María Luisa , Martínez-Muñoz L. Fernando , Garoz-Puerta Ignacio , García-Rico Luis
Published: March 2021

Este artículo analiza los procesos reflexivos que tiene el alumnado en el diseño, desarrollo y evaluación de proyectos de Aprendizaje-Servicio Universitario. Estos procesos incrementan el aprendizaje y las competencias del alumnado, se logran mejores niveles de éxito, así como un cambio de mirada hacia la comunidad y hacia los colectivos receptores que presentan situaciones de desventaja social. El estudio que se presenta utiliza como técnica de investigación el análisis de contenido. La información se recoge mediante cuestionarios reflexivos empleados en la evaluación formativa de los proyectos Aprendizaje-Servicio en Actividad Física y el Deporte de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Los resultados muestran evidencias claras sobre la utilidad de los procesos reflexivos para hacer consciente al estudiante de lo que aprende y lo que necesita para aprender, a partir de la revisión crítica y consciente de lo que hace y aporta a la comunidad. El ámbito de la formación, la adquisición de competencias específicas y transversales son las dimensiones que más protagonismo tienen para el alumnado, mientras que las vinculadas con el escenario profesional son escasas. El estudio presenta limitaciones porque las reflexiones se extraen de un solo instrumento, pudiendo complementar los hallazgos con otras técnicas (diarios, informes de aprendizajes, etc.).

PERFORMANCE OF RECTANGULAR PIN-FIN HEAT SINK SUBJECT TO AN IMPINGING AIR FLOW
Authors: MOHAMMED Adil Abbas , RAZUQİ Saad Abdulwahab
Published: March 2021

The heat sink is used to enhance heat rejection from heated surface to air. The seize and the geometry of
the heat sink with the shape of the extended surfaces have a great influence on the heat transfer coefficient. The
first step to get the optimal design is to predict the heat transfer by conduction in solid walls of heat sink and then
by convection between the solid and air flow. The purpose of the present study is to predict the effectiveness of
closely spaced parallel rectangular fin array arrangement. The electronic processor was represented by the copper
heat sink base with thermal conductivity of 401 W/m.K. The 72 fins with the geometry above mentioned were
exposed to heat transfer with conduction and convection along all the boundaries except the bottom from which
heat flow toward air flow domain. Mesh generation at a specific cells, number of element and number of nodes
were taken under temperature difference validation. The experiments were done under impinging air flow rate
with Reynolds number ranged between 4000-16000. The flow was turbulent so the k-Ԑ turbulence model needed
to simulate mean flow characteristics. Constant heat fluxes boundary conditions were proposed with range between
10000-70000 kW/m2. The Results of temperature contour lines depicted a heat trend from the hot base through the
extended surfaces to the fin tips. The fins were aligned in the core of heat sink showed higher temperature gradient
compared with the fins existed in lines surrounded the core. The thermal resistance decreased as the Reynolds
number increased and the Nusselt number increased as the Reynolds number increased and also when the heat flux
increased. The Reynolds number depicted increasing as the Nusselt number increased and so the heat rejected
from the heat sink base increased. There is a good agreement between the experimental and simulating results at
error percentage not exceed 2%.

Published: March 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os indicadores de matrículas do Público-Alvo da Educação Especial no estado de São Paulo no período de 2007 a 2015. Para tanto, utilizamos como fonte de informações os microdados dos censos escolares do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira dos anos de 2007, 2011 e 2015, bem como as principais legislações e normas orientadoras de políticas nacionais e do estado de São Paulo no período analisado. Os dados demonstram que, se por um lado tem crescido o acesso do Público-Alvo da Educação Especial na rede estadual de ensino de São Paulo, por outro lado há, internamente, processos marcadamente excludentes, segundo os dados de fluxo escolar. Com efeito, desenvolvemos algumas hipóteses interpretativas para essa realidade educacional e concluímos que são muitos os desafios e barreiras que inviabilizam a efetivação da educação como direito social ao Público-Alvo da Educação Especial na rede estadual de ensino de São Paulo.
Evidências empíricas do impacto da alfabetização sobre o crescimento econômico
Authors: Firme Vinícius de Azevedo Couto
Published: March 2021

Esta pesquisa usou uma versão espacial do modelo proposto por Mankiw, Romer e Weil [MRW (1992)] para avaliar o impacto da alfabetização sobre a renda per capita dos municípios brasileiros no período de 1980 a 2010. Os resultados indicam que o efeito da alfabetização é maior em regiões mais homogêneas e transborda para a vizinhança. Em média, um crescimento de 1% na taxa de alfabetização faria a renda crescer 1,684%. Portanto, o produto interno bruto (PIB) brasileiro poderia ser 15,91% maior caso o Brasil atingisse a taxa de alfabetização europeia. Alternativamente, Alagoas, Piauí, Paraíba e Maranhão (e outros dez estados) poderiam aumentar suas respectivas rendas em 32,77%, 29,09%, 26,53% e 23,97%, caso atingissem a média nacional de alfabetização.

YouTube, Learning, and Transformative Critical Pedagogy
Authors: Tohe Achmad
Published: March 2021

Fundamental changes that have taken place in the realm of information technology— particularly with the emergence of the Internet—have altered significantly ways by which people communicate, interact and exchange information. Similarly, in the realm of education, the same events have changed the ways by which teaching and learning were conducted. Indeed, the integration of technology into learning has made the learning process more interactive, collaborative and experiential. However, any innovation in education, as a result of advances in technology, is not an end in itself, but one that must be based on scientific research. This study was a library research, seeking to evaluate some of the existing efforts in integrating YouTube into learning and review a series of critical examination of such practices from the perspective of transformative critical pedagogy. The study showed that the majority of learning that has made use of YouTube demonstrated high access to the material, a more successful learning, and increased motivation of students to learn even further by searching more relevant videos. Nonetheless, for YouTube’s integration into learning to be transformative, it needs clear philosophical and pedagogical foundations. Otherwise, it may serve as the fulfilment of capitalist consumerism.

Published: March 2021

Peace-loving-themed short stories have some potential to reconstruct national characters. Such characters are paramount in response to the lack of tolerance during the millennial era. Such short stories can be implemented through various modes, one of them being short-story appreciation. When the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia, the government suggested shifting schools to online learning. One of the online learning platforms used in Indonesia is the Learning Management System (LMS). The purpose of the current research is to develop via LMS instructional materials for short-stories appreciation using peace-loving-themed short stories that aim at strengthening national characters. This study used the research and development design proposed by Borg and Gall. The instructional materials developed are in the form of e-learning website which consists of formulated tasks of short stories appreciation. The validation test shows that this type of learning material is valid and applicable to be used. The instructional material includes contents focusing on the theme of peace-loving stories. Moreover, the aspects of national characters boosted by this type of material includes tolerance, equality, altruism (caring for others), empathy, and sympathy, which are depicted through the characters in the stories. The forms of tasks are also designed in a way to expose the national characters conveyed in the stories.

Implementing Task-based Learning (TBL) for Learning German in Indonesia
Authors: Ardiyani Dewi Kartika
Published: March 2021

An effective approach is needed to implement life-based learning and improve students’ capability in mastering and using the German language. A task-based approach is one such method that supports learning that prioritizes life-based learning. Gradually arranged assignments and exercises are expected to help develop the learner’s German language competence. Appropriate tasks and exercises should be selected so that learning objectives could be achieved optimally. Therefore, this research is expected to optimize the quality of learning through a task-based learning approach in accordance with modern learning guidelines that prioritize the improvement of German language teachers’ capabilities in Indonesia. The current study used a qualitative research design to see the effectiveness of the task-based learning approach with the Rückwärtsplanung planning model for learning German in Indonesia. Data were taken from 30 German-language teachers from all over Indonesia who took part in the e-workshop task-based learning with the researchers themselves and other collaborators. The data used is a lesson-plan document prepared by the teachers to study the outcomes of lesson plans that were created with a task-based learning approach. The results of the study showed that most of the lesson plans prepared by the teachers had not yet fully adapted the task-based learning approach of the Rückwärtsplanung planning model. Teachers had difficulty determining the right exercises for the assigned task, so the exercises do not support the achievement of learning goals.

Using Communicative Approach in Teaching Speaking Competence of Young Learners through Home-based Learning
Authors: Maria C.R Irene
Published: March 2021

This study aims to probe into the use of communicative approach in teaching speaking competence of young learners through a Home-based Learning approach. To master a language, the learner should sharpen their speaking skills/competences. In Indonesia, English is taught as a foreign/second language to young learners. Developing speaking competence will teach young learners English beyond grammar and word function, so that they could freely express their opinions. Being able to express themselves, young learners will have good self-esteem which would, in turn, help them in learning new things and other languages. However, the COVID-19 pandemic urged teachers to alter their method of teaching speaking to young learners as they learn from home and meet their teachers online through a virtual meeting platform. This study found that the materials designed by the teacher do impact in stimulating young language learners to improve their communication skills in English.

Published: March 2021

With the advancement of the 21st century, Indonesia, like other countries, is also facing challenges in education, particularly for primary and secondary school students. Undoubtedly, literacy is one of the crucial skills in 21st-century education, which encompasses critical thinking and critical reading skills. In an effort to maximize students’ critical reading skills, the researchers conducted virtual conferences and workshops for the teachers of English in primary and secondary schools on the practice of Literature Circle Strategy (LCS) to maximize students’ skills in critical reading. In total, 25 teachers from Malang City and 183 teachers from the Kediri area were included in the study. In Kediri, a one-day conference was held that focussed on the concepts and rules of practicing the LCS in online classes. In Malang, a virtual conference was held on the first day followed by a workshop on the second. While the first day was spent explaining the LCS to the participants, on the second day, they practiced the strategy, in offline sessions. At the end of the workshop, the participants shared their perceptions on this strategy by filling in a questionnaire, stating what they thought would be the process of practicing this strategy both in online and face-to-face classes. This study therefore reports the results of the analysis on their perceptions.

Online Learning Platforms for Teaching Indonesian to Foreign Speakers
Authors: Muzdalifah . , Herningtias Editia
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on various areas of life, one of them being education. The enactment of regional restrictions made BIPA teachers in Indonesia shift from normal classroom teaching to virtual online classes. BIPA teachers now use different learning platforms to convey study materials or learning objectives to their students. Thus, technology has become a bridge between students and teachers not just in Indonesia but also for those from different parts of the world who are interested in learning Indonesian. One of the proficiency classes that require alternative learning platforms is the speaking proficiency class. In learning speaking skills, texts are not only presented in audio form but also as videos. Both forms require variations in the learning platform. Therefore, this research was conducted to describe the online learning platforms utilized by BIPA teachers, especially concerning their speaking skills where audio and video texts are included. Technology integration from various BIPA learning platforms is carried out based on the considerations concerning the heutagogical approach by treating BIPA students as adults who have autonomy in language learning.

Poetry is a critical element of literature which must be studied. The language in poetry is a parable language and difficult to understand because the language is rarely used in everyday life. Similarly, classical Chinese poetry preserves ancient Mandarin （文言文） [Wén yán wén] which was used in the past in China. This study is based on the findings of students’ difficulties in understanding the meaning of classical Chinese poetry. The research aimed to develop a learning medium in the form of a famous Chinese classical poetry learning module during the Tang Dynasty. There are three classical Chinese poems in this module, namely, the 静夜思 [ Jìngyè sī] by 李白 [Li Bai]; 春晓 [Chūnxiao] by ̌ 孟浩然 [Meng Haoran]; and 春夜 喜雨 [Chūnyè x ̌iyu] by ̌ 杜甫 [Du Fu], which are accompanied with an explanation of the poetry, learning activities, formative assignments, and evaluation. This study uses the Five Phases of Instructional Design Model developed by Cennamo and Kalk (2005). The results of this study indicate that the module is excellent and suitable for learning.

Authors: Ainin Moh.
Published: March 2021

One of the teachers’ responsibilities in the teaching and learning process is to conduct assessments. The main purpose of assessment is to understand students’ learning outcomes. Based on the outcomes, teachers can give feedback to improve the planning and the implementation of the teaching process and to determine the quality of the assessment instrument. The Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based assessment is urgently needed in schools to produce competitive graduates who have the critical thinking, communicative, collaborative, and creative skills. However, there are some challenges in the implementation of HOTS-based assessment, such as students’ low motivation and Arabic competence, ambiguous definitions of basic competencies in the curriculum, and lack of HOTS materials in textbooks. These challenges can be solved by making an acquisition-based learning of Arabic, reconstructing the descriptions of basic competence, and adapting HOTS-based assessment which is in line with the students’ ability.
