Authors: Paumar Angeline , Villanueva Francine Faith , Romero Thea Angela , Bagaporo Evelyn
Published: November 2024

Capitalization, the process of sharing positive events to savor and relive positive moments, brings intrapersonal and interpersonal benefits to the sharer. In students' academic lives, academic achievements represent significant positive events that offer opportunities for capitalization. With the rise of social media, capitalizing on academic achievements has transitioned from traditional face-to-face interactions to digital platforms, where students increasingly share and celebrate their achievements. Given the significance of capitalization for well-being and the scarcity of research in this area, this study seeks to advance the understanding of the significance of capitalization within the context of a student's academic achievements and social media. Specifically, it aims to explore the practice of academic achievement capitalization on social media by examining the reasons for using these platforms, the motivations driving this practice, and the associated outcomes. Utilizing a qualitative exploratory research design, one-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten college students who frequently capitalize on their academic achievements. Content analysis of the interviews revealed that social media features are instrumental in facilitating the capitalization of academic achievements. Moreover, the study identified five key motivations driving this behavior: seeking validation, self-presentation, inspiring others, seeking support, and emotional expression. Consistent with existing research on capitalization, students experience predominantly positive outcomes, both interpersonal and intrapersonal, from sharing their academic achievements on social media, highlighting how digital platforms and capitalization help maximize the positive impact of these experiences. The findings provide an understanding of how and why students celebrate and showcase their academic achievements on social media, emphasizing how the capitalization of these achievements and the social media responses they receive influence their personal and social well-being

Losing Your Best: How Poor Leadership Can Drive Top Talent Away
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: November 2024

This article discusses how leadership behaviors can inadvertently undermine employee engagement and drive top performers to seek new opportunities. It identifies five areas where leaders commonly fall short: lack of recognition and praise for good work, insufficient meaningful feedback, unclear career growth opportunities, poor work-life balance expectations, and deficient company-wide communication. For each area, research is presented on its importance for retention followed by an illustrative example of an employee who departed due to that specific deficiency. The article advocates for leaders to adopt strategies like regular praise, ongoing development-focused feedback, transparent career roadmaps, flexibility that respects personal well-being, and consistent messaging. When leaders make intentional efforts to strengthen these human aspects of work, it nurtures an environment where high-performing talent is motivated to stay committed to the organization long-term.

Authors: Nwosu Kingsley Chinaza , Nwune Emmanuel Chibuike , Anidi Charles Amaechi , Oguezue Nnaemeka Kenechi
Published: November 2024

Divergent perspectives on extra lessons for pupils have dominated current discourse on instructional support. Debates regarding the benefits of extra lessons have been on the increase. A number of experts are of the view that primary school curriculum is overloaded. Often, there is no empirical data for evidence-based policies regarding this. We designed this pilot study to explore students’ extra lessons experiences in order to inform policies. We used a cross-sectional survey design to sample 261 students (male = 54%; female = 46%; mean age = 10.51±1.41) from six intact classes in two primary schools owned and operated by two tertiary institutions in Anambra State. We developed a questionnaire consisting of 9 items to gather students’ views on their extra lessons activities. Part A of the questionnaire comprises the participants’ demographic information while the part B consists of 9 items eliciting the experiences of the participants in extra lessons activities. Major findings demonstrated that the majority of students engaged in extra lessons were satisfied with the lessons, experienced little stress during extra lessons, and learned a lot from them. Furthermore, a higher proportion of male students were more dissatisfied with extra lessons than their female counterparts; and more students reported being dissatisfied with the extra lessons when they lasted longer than two hours per day. The implications of the findings were highlighted, and it was concluded that, while extra lessons may benefit primary school pupils, if not properly implemented, they may be detrimental to students’ mental health and learning outcomes.

Authors: Manokore Kudakwashe , Sibanda Lwazi
Published: November 2024

Throughout the world, nations are busy investing in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to prepare innovative minds that can spearhead the development and sustainable growth of their economies. Zimbabwe’s participation in the global economy is premised on the preference for STEM education system. The introduction of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Zimbabwe meant a shift in the general aims and objectives of the education system. The transformation meant a move from an academic oriented and content-focused curriculum to one that is skills-based, giving prominence to continuous assessment over final examinations. To explore classroom practitioners’ perceptions of the first cycle of the CBC, 20 purposively selected STEM teachers participated in the study. A qualitative research approach and case study design were adopted as study methodology. Thematically analysed data were collected through focus group interviews with participants. The study focused on support systems available for STEM education in secondary schools and how the absence of the national framework affects its implementation. The study found that there were limited support systems for STEM education as some schools did not have adequate facilities and equipment such as science laboratories, apparatus, science consumables, computer laboratories, computer hardware and software among others. It came out from the study that the absence of national framework had negative effect on the implementation of STEM education in secondary schools. The study concluded that though the secondary schools experienced constraints in implementing STEM education there were noticeable pockets of good practices in some schools, for example, learners graduating with competences for life skills. The study recommended that the schools should engage stakeholders for support in provision of required resources. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should expedite the development of a national framework for the effective implementation of STEM education.

An Analysis of the Modi Government's "Global South" Strategy
Authors: Zhang Siqin
Published: November 2024

Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Modi government has continually increased its focus and investment in the "Global South," driven by considerations of changes in the international landscape, India's role as a major power, national security concerns, and domestic factors for economic and social development. The Modi administration has ramped up strategic investments in countries within the "Global South," enhancing cooperation and promoting development among these nations, while also advocating for reforms in international multilateral cooperation institutions. This has elevated India's international influence and improved its diplomatic environment. However, India's hegemonic tendencies toward its neighbors are apparent, which may constrain China's proactive activities within the "Global South." As a natural member of the "Global South," China should maintain strategic stability and collaborate with India to safeguard the common interests of this group.

The Study of Transformational Leadership Emergence in a Faith-based School
Authors: Dr. Ambar A Qaiyum  , Swetha Rao
Published: November 2024

Transformational Leadership (TL) – often termed as ‘Moral Leadership’ or ‘Authentic Leadership’ – has emerged as an innovative, novel and captivating concept surrounding the various theories dominating Leadership Styles today. It alludes to a leadership style where the interaction between the leaders and followers raises both sides, not only to higher levels of motivation and morality, but also the concern for the achievement, self-actualization and well-being of the other, of the organization and of society in general. Studies suggest that the field of training and educating adult leaders for TL as being not very successful and, in practice, a tedious task. With the current state of de-motivated, unfocused youth on the one hand and a materialistic, individualistic, competitive society, on the other, the responsibility of schools and educators to map transformational leadership programmes in school curriculum is now more critical and decisive than was ever before. Extant literature on transformational leadership reveals a close connection between TL, spirituality, faith and care reasoning. Quite unfortunately, however, Muslim institutions today are the centre of controversy and debate, misconceptions and stereotyping for many reasons, one being, religion is, today, quite unfairly, accepted as the reason for social instability, chaos and disunity, and the other, more importantly, being the inability of the product of these institutions to contribute to mainstream society. The moot question, especially in the context of the Muslim world, is whether the current faith-school systems, potentially equipped by way of their higher order thinking curriculum and pedagogy, are able to create an environment that will achieve the authentic vision of Islamic education: nurturing transformational leadership. This study is a small step in a colossal task. It focuses mainly on identifying the emergence traits of TL in adolescents in the given faith-based environment, an IGCSE school in the Indian city of Bangalore. The pedagogy proposed is antithetical to the current Muslim educational pedagogy and, yet, paradoxically, in line with Islamic prophetic pedagogy, alluding to Stakes’ explanation of a case-study model having a complex broader implication than what is apparent. The hypothetical assumptions of the study, if validated by qualitative research, are poised to provide significant performance indicators for analyzing efficacy of Muslim institutions and laying the ground for further quantitative research to derive, evaluate and triangulate educational, pedagogical, policies and standards for the deeper underlying critical issues facing the Muslim educational world.

Education is a fundamental human right. The UN has also made it as one of the eight Millennium Development Goals. Before the leading nations in the world today have drafted the laws and international treaties on the compulsion for governments to give access to education to every child Islam has already instructed mankind to seek for knowledge. Despite these divine and human encouragements, unfortunately, the world is still habouring about 57 million out-of-school children who are denied access to education due to factor mainly depending on lack of adequate funding. UNESCO’s statistics show that in the world’s total number of out-of-school children the Sub-Saharan Africa is home to the most alarming number, accounting for about 50% of them, a problem mainly attributed to low funding. Therefore alternative source of funding is inevitable. It is to this reason this paper aims at exploring waqf as a viable source of funding for education in the sub-Saharan Africa. This will be modeled on some selected universities like Al-Azhar and certain Malaysian universities.

Artiste contemporain disparu il y a deux ans, il a déployé tout au long de sa vie une oeuvre puissante qui s’attache aux sentiments et aux émotions humaines et les fouille. Avec son oeuvre universelle et paradoxale, il a su créer des dispositifs divers pour allier des thématiques esthétiques comme la présence et l’absence, la joie et la tristesse, la vie et la mort. Le dispositif artistique est au coeur de son action esthétique, et ses choix plastiques visent à émouvoir le visiteur avec une bienveillance toujours revendiquée. Pas de violence, pas d’images insoutenables. Boltanski, grâce aux trois oeuvres qui soutiennent cet écrit, nous amène avec lui vers notre propre intériorité faite de déchirures, mais aussi de jeux.
Mémoire et narration de la mort dans le cinéma espagnol du 21e siècle
Authors: Grillo Sabrina
Published: November 2024

Le retour de mémoire auquel nous assistons dans l’Espagne du 21e siècle répond à une demande sociale accompagnée d’une évolution politique et législative qui a mené à la récente Loi de mémoire démocratique du 14 juillet 2022. Cet article veut cerner le rôle du cinéma dans la construction de la mémoire des victimes du franquisme pour la sortir de l’ombre, resignifier le passé et contribuer à une meilleure compréhension du temps présent. Trois films récents nous servent d’exemples : un documentaire, un drame et un film d’horreur. L’analyse s’appuie sur la théorie de l’interprétation des films pour examiner le traitement de l’objet mémoriel et montrer comment une esthétique filmique reflétant le dépassement de l’impasse mémorielle que représentent les corps sans tombe permet d’en arriver à un renouvellement de l’image de la mort sociale, physique ou culturelle. La figure de l’enfermement est interprétée comme étant le révélateur d’une altération de l’identité nationale. Les récits mis en images se recoupent pour proposer un discours de l’entre-deux qui favorise un retour de mémoire sur la scène publique.
Cartographie de la notion de distance en traductologie, et enjeux méthodologiques de la démarche
Authors: Lehoux-Jobin Etienne
Published: November 2024

Bien que la notion de distance, notamment linguistique, culturelle et temporelle, émaille le discours traductologique, elle n’y a jamais été considérée comme il se doit et elle y demeure donc en filigrane. Afin de combler cette lacune, nous proposons dans cet article une cartographie de la notion de distance en traductologie, c’est-à-dire un examen multidimensionnel de la notion, enrichie d’un plaidoyer pour sa pertinence. Cette démarche de cartographie d’une notion précise à partir de la littérature savante soulève toutefois certains enjeux méthodologiques. À ce propos, force est de constater que, contrairement à d’autres disciplines, l’offre méthodologique en matière de recherche théorique (ou conceptuelle) et « métadisciplinaire » s’avère quasi inexistante en traductologie. Par conséquent, ce texte a comme objectif primaire de cartographier la notion de distance telle qu’elle se trouve en traductologie et comme objectif subsidiaire de présenter des approches pour effectuer cette cartographie. Pour composer notre méthode multidimensionnelle, nous explorons diverses avenues, dont l’analyse (philosophique) de concept, la revue de la littérature et la bibliométrie. En substance, il s’agit de problématiser la méthodologie de la recherche sur les notions traductologiques de même que la notion de distance en traduction.
Atemnot (Souffle court), de Marina Skalova : le territoire du seuil
Authors: Vischer Mathilde
Published: November 2024

Cet article propose une étude sur le recueil de poèmes en deux langues Atemnot (Souffle court) (2016) de Marina Skalova, auteure trilingue née en 1988 à Moscou. Si cette auteure écrit surtout en français, son plurilinguisme s’inscrit dans toute son oeuvre, qui offre une matière féconde à qui s’intéresse aux questions que posent l’écriture bilingue et l’autotraduction. Cette étude prend pour point de départ l’interrogation sur ce qu’instaure le rapport entre les poèmes en allemand et en français de Atemnot (Souffle court) et aborde les poèmes en deux langues comme des « seuils réciproques ». L’article met en évidence la façon dont les poèmes de Atemnot (Souffle court) travaillent cette question et entrent en résonance avec deux oeuvres plus récentes de l’auteure, Exploration du flux et Silences d’exils.
Defense of Integrative Pluralism in the Cognitive Sciences
Authors: Sushchin Mikhail Aleksandrovich
Published: November 2024

This article considers the opposition between the pluralist and unificationist stances in the philosophy of cognitive sciences. The choice between pluralism and unificationism is important both in terms of discussing the current methodological practices and with respect to the debates about the future of the cognitive studies. As a starting point, the author takes his own idea of theoretical complexes. One of its most significant normative consequences is theoretical pluralism. There have been a number of skeptical arguments against pluralism, including the fear of generating many useless theories and dissipating of efforts, as well as the doubts about the differences between pluralism and relativism. One of the most recent objections states that integrative pluralism implies a tension, an instability, if one prioritizes the epistemic quality of explanatory depth. The author addresses each of these objections in turn. The constructive variety of pluralism is distinguished from unbridled pluralism and relativism by its commitment to the idea of improving explanatory, predictive, and other characteristics of a theory through the presence of alternatives and their collisions, mutual criticisms. Integrative pluralism does not entail instability, since the values of unification and explanatory depth cannot be prescribed to the cognitive sciences ex cathedra, without taking into account the character of the cognitive process revealed in empirical studies. The pluralist stance appears to be incompatible with radical projects of unification of the cognitive studies, though there are many opportunities for more moderate integrative initiatives. One such initiative is the recent idea of integrative experiment design, which involves constructing a space of experiments for a particular problem. Testing theories by selectively sampling points in this space and then updating them accordingly may be a key to the integration of experimental observations.
