Critical Adult Education: A Response to Contemporary Social Crisis
Authors: Little David
Published: July 2024

Many adult educators currently are looking to critical theories of
society as a foundation for reconceptualizing the relationship between
theory and practice in the four sites of adult education: program
administration, instruction, policy development and educational
research. In this article, relationships between dialectics, critical
theory, and critical social science are described, with particular
emphasis on the role of unquestioned vital cultural tradition in
perpetuating existing patterns of social reproduction. Implications are
drawn for their use in the reconceptualization of the social role of
adult education, with the intent to provide a conceptual framework for
adult educators who are interested in but relatively uninformed about
the concept of critical adult education.

Résumé

Présentement, les forraateurs et les formatrices d'adultes considèrent
les théories de la critique sociale comme le fondement d'une
reconceptualisation du rapport entre la théorie et la pratique à travers
quatre champs en éducation des adultes: l'administration de
programmes, l'enseignement, le développement de politiques et la
recherche en éducation.

Dans cet article, les liens entre la dialectique, la théorie critique et la
science sociale critique sont décrits; l'accent est mis sur le rôle que la
tradition, dans ce qu'elle renferme de vital et d'incontesté, peut jouer
dans la perpétuation de modèles de reproduction sociale. Des
implications sont dégagées en tenant compte de l'utilisation qui
pourrait en être faite en vue d'une reconceptualisation du rôle social
de l'éducation des adultes. L'article fournit un cadre conceptuel aux
formateurs et aux formatrices qui bien qu'intéressés à la question sont
relativement peu informés du concept d'éducation critique de l'adulte.
Création et adaptation: Intégration dans le développement vocationnel de l'adulte
Authors: Riverin-Simard Danielle
Published: July 2024

Résumé

Après avoir identifié deux fonctions centrales à la vie occupationnelle de 1'adulte,
soit les "créatives" et les "adaptatives", le présent article pose, en première
partie, les questions suivantes. Est-ce que les formulations de certaines théories
de la psychologic et de l'éducation des adultes privilégient l'une ou l'autre de ces
deux fonctions à titre de conditions basales au développement? Si oui,
l'aspiration à se développer sur un plan vocationnel est-elle accessible à toutes
les classes de travailleurs? Suite à ces interrogations, le présent article propose,
en seconde partie, certains éléments d'une conception intégratrice du
développement vocationnel de 1'adulte; ces derniers visent à accorder une
importance sensiblement égale à ces deux fonctions créatives et adaptatives.
Enfin, certaines applications pratiques sont suggérées.

After having identified two functions, creative and adaptative, that are central
to adult work life, this article asks, in first part, the following questions. Do
formulations of certain theories of psychology and adult education favour one or
another of these two functions by virtue of basal conditions of development? If
yes, is the aspiration of vocational development accessible to all social classes
of workers? As a follow up to this questioning, this article proposes, in the
second part, certain elements of an integrated conception of adult vocational
development; the latter aim to accord an essentially equal importance to these
two creative and adaptative functions. Finally, certain practical applications are
suggested.
Problematizing Adult Education: A Feminist Perspective
Authors: Burstow Bonnie
Published: July 2024

This article explores androcentrism in the adult education field generally, with a
particular focus on North American adult education training. Adult education
historicism and enrolments are discussed, though it is the dominant adult education
philosophies and approaches that are highlighted—Tough's and Knowles' especially.
The emphasis in androgogy on the neutrality of goals, highly intentional learning,
individualism, the cognitive, and measurement is critiqued. Promising shifts
identified include: the development of a feminist critique, the hiring of feminist
faculty, and the creation of explicitly feminist courses. The author discusses backlash,
lack of awareness, and lack of integration as problems which both limit and threaten
the feminist changes made to date.

Résumé

Dans cet article, l'auteure démontre le fait de l'androcentrisme au sein de l'éducation
des adultes en genéral, au sein de la formation des formateurs en Amérique du Nord
en particulier. L'auteure y discute la façon de présenter l'histoire de l'éducation des
adultes en regard des faits concernant les clienèeles d'adultes. Elle examine surtout
les approches de Tough et Knowles. Elle critique l'importance que l'andragogie attache
à la neutralité des objectifs, a l'enseignement intentionel, à l'individualisme, au
domains, cognitif. Parmi les changements prometteurs que l'auteure retient, il y a le
développement de la critique féministe, le recrutement de professeures féministes et la
création de cours résolument féministes. Par ailleurs, on doit tenir compte des
difficultés qui menacent et entravent les initiatives féministes déjà en place: ce sont
les chocs en retour qu'elles provoquent, le manque de sensibilisation à leur égard et
l'insuffisance de leur intégration.
Autoformation Féministe
Authors: Solar Claudie
Published: July 2024

Résumé

L'autoformation féministe réfere ici à la démarche féministe, c'est-à-dire la
démarche éducative autonome de femmes en vue d'acquérir une compréhension du
monde dans une perspective féministe. Les parcours de dix militantes féministes
illustrent cette démarche modélisée en trois temps: celui de la prise de conscience,
celui de l'acquisition de connaissances et celui de l'action ou de la réinsertion
sociale. Ces parcours d'autoformation se vivent à l'âge adulte car les savoirs sur
les femmes sont occultés dans les parcours scolaires. Il peut toutefois en être
autrement. Dans cet article, les données de la recherche sur la démarche féministe
de militantes sont d'abord décrites. Elles sont ensuite interprétées et mises en
perspective dans le champ de l'éducation des adultes et de l'enseignement.

Feminist self-directed learning refers to the feminist transformation; that is, the
autonomous educational path followed by women in order to gain a feminist frame
of reference and knowledge. The feminist transformation often feminist activists
provides an illustration of this process which includes three stages: consciousness
raising, acquisition of knowledge, and social action or reintegration. This
transformation occurs during adulthood since feminist knowledge is not included
in the schooling process. However, it could be otherwise. In this article, the data
provided by the study of feminist activists' transformations is first presented. It is
followed by an interpretation of the data in the field of adult education and its use
in teaching.
Tele-Distance Education in Women's Studies: Issues for Feminist Pedagogy
Authors: Smith Edith , Norlen Valerie
Published: July 2024

in this mode are a fairly recent phenomena. This article explores the pedagogical and
administrative issues which arise when trying to team-teach Women's Studies through
distance education, as well as the experiential components of this process. The links
between these issues and the context within which they are occurring are also addressed.
The case study the authors report on follows, from beginning to end, the intersecting
challenges of planning and implementing a feminist pedagogy, through an audio mode
of instruction, during the first tele-conferenced "Introduction to Women's Studies" course
offered in the Ottawa area.

Résumé

Malgré l'histoire prolongée de la formation à distance au Canada, l'enseignement des
cours des "Etudes de femmes" dans cette manière est un phénomène récent. Cet article
traitera des questions pédagogiques et administratives, qui se présentent grace aux
tentatives d'enseignement de l'équipe de formation à distance, ainsi que le processus
composé d'expérience. Les liens entre ces questions et le contexte dans lequel ils se
produisent seront aussi traités. L'étude de cas qui est rapportée par les auteurs suivra
du debut à la fin les défis entrecroisés de la planification et l'exécution de la pédagogie
feministe enseignée de façon audiologique, qui se sont présentés au cours de la première

Adult Education Research in Saskatchewan
Authors: Blunt Adrian
Published: July 2024

Sites of adult education research in Saskatchewan were surveyed to identify the
origins, goals and methodologies of recent research and factors which influenced its
production. Research was found to be produced by a broad range of institutions and
The University of Saskatchewan was the major site of research activities. Two
research traditions existed at the two university sites surveyed; adult education for
social change and adult education to meet multifunctional, including technical-rational
societal goals. Human resource development and economic adjustment were
not the focus of the majority of studies conducted. The possibilities for a future narrow
economic agenda to dominate adult education research was recognized.

Résumé

Une enquête a été menée dans divers lieux de recherche en Saskatchewan afin
d'identifier les origines, les buts, les méthode utilisées dans les recherches récentes en
éducation des adultes et les facteurs qui ont influencé leur production. Les recherches
inventoriées ont été produites dans un large éventail d'institutions toutefois,
l'Université de la Saskatchewan est le site majeur des activités de recherche. Deux
traditions de recherche se côtoient dans les deux universités qui ont été examinées: une
première qui découle d'une vision de l'éducation des adultes comme instrument du
changement social, et une deuxième qui s'inspire d'une conception multifonctionnelle
de l'éducation des adultes, incluant des aspects techno-rationnels et sociaux. Le
développement des ressources humaines et les ajustements économiques ne sont pas
le focus de la majorité des recherches recensées. Par ailleurs, on reconnaît que des
visées plus étroitement économiques puissent éventuellement dominer la recherche en
éducation des adultes.

A Factor Structure of Professionals' Attitude towards Continuing Education and its Relationship to Participation
Authors: Yang Baiyin
Published: July 2024

This article investigates the structure of professionals' attitude towards a
continuing education program. Data for the article was obtained from 323
veterinary practitioners in the province of Alberta. An exploratory factor analysis
led to the identification of three dimensions of attitude towards a continuing
professional education (CPE) program: relevance, benefit, and accessibility. The
relationship between the professionals' attitude with their previous and future
participation behaviors in CPE programs was also examined. The findings suggest
that a multidimensional structure of attitude offers a more meaningful
understanding of perceptions about the information provided by organizers of CPE
programs than a unidimensional conceptualization of attitude. Implications for
future research and continuing education practice are discussed.

Résumé

The aim of this paper is to identify translation strategies applied by the translator in transferring an English children book to Indonesian. Proper names have a cultural connotation and should be translated using appropriate techniques whether they relate to people, locations, or other fictional characters, they usually have important language or cultural quirks that make translation challenging. The examination is carried out on the case of the translation of English novel entitled Jo’s Boys and How They Turned Out which written by Louisa May Alcott in 1886 and its translation entitled Jo’s Boys - Sepuluh Tahun Kemudian, translated by Djokolelono. The paper analyzes how proper names alluding to living animals, topographical or geological names were interpreted. The writer uses a qualitative descriptive method and will analyzed descriptively in the form of documents. The writer is comparing the proper name translation in source text and target text, and then categorize them into types of the proper name using theory from Anastasia Parianou (2007). Then, those categories are described and classified using theoy from Eirlys E. Davies (2003) to detect what translation strategies used by the translator. The result shows that from 189 data collected, there are 7 categories of proper names and 7 translation strategies detected. They are Personal names and personifications (65%), Geographical names (16%), Names of unique events (7%), Names of unique objects and works of art (6%), Names of institutions and facilities (4%), and Trademark names (2%). The translation strategies used by the translator are Preservation (93%), Localization (45%), Addition (33%), Transformation (9%), Creation (5%), Globalization (2%), and Omission (2%).

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia, caused by defects in the secretion or action of insulin. DM is subdivided into two types, type 1 DM is directly linked to genetic factors, so its occurrence is very common during childhood, on the other hand, type 2 DM has a higher occurrence in adults, since it is related to environmental factors, such as obesity, generating insulin insufficiency. Nowadays, from the implementation of fast foods and the sedentary lifestyle, caused by technologies, the number of cases of childhood obesity has had a significant increase, thus, as a result of these acts, the occurrence of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus has increased among children. Objective: This article aims to carry out a literature analysis on the influence of childhood obesity on the development of Diabetes Mellitus. Methodology: this is an integrative literature review, carried out in the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Web of Science and National Library of Medicine (PubMed/Medline), Google Scholar and Virtual Health Library (VHL). A total of 30 publications were identified, and 6 bibliographic references from the last 10 years were used. The exclusion criteria were non-pertinence to the theme, and articles prior to this period. The articles analyzed were selected according to the following descriptors: child, obesity, diabetes mellitus and hyperglycemia. Results: considering the significant increase in cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus in childhood, measures are necessary to avoid this condition, for this, it is of paramount importance to make changes in children's lifestyle habits based on a healthy diet and physical activity.

Introduction: As it is the largest organ in the body, the skin is more exposed to solar radiation, body changes as well as genetics. The skin covers the body and acts as a physical barrier between the body and the outside environment and represents about 16% of body weight. Because the skin is an organ with numerous functions, it is exposed to structural changes that are easily perceived by the naked eye, including stretch marks. For a better understanding, we need to understand that the elastic fibers of the skin are the starting point for the formation of stretch marks. Methodology: This is a scoping review where descriptors in Health Sciences - DeCS were used. The descriptors of interest and Boolean operators were: "Therapeutic AND "Skin Lesions (stretch marks)". The search was carried out in the PubMed, Scielo and Bireme databases by these databases provide a broad search combining information from other platforms, using 19 relevant articles. Results: There are treatments that can treat and reduce this problem and include micropuncture, microdermabrasion, microneedling, carboxytherapy as well as the combination of treatments, which must be performed by trained professionals due to their specificities. Final considerations: Stretch marks are acquired integumentary lesions and, like any scar, can be considered a difficult treatment. However, with the current advancement of techniques, there are several aesthetic treatments that are performed, however, there is no scientific proof of their effectiveness for the total disappearance of stretch marks and, as it is a genetic predisposition, prevention includes both the maintenance of the ideal weight and good skin hydration

Economic viability of computerized campimetry equipment and procedure costs
Authors: Pereira Alicia D.
Published: July 2024

This article describes a case study on the economic feasibility and acquisition of a Computerized Campimetry device in a private eye health facility. Healthcare costs have increased significantly and good planning should involve analyzing these costs, using current information and making adequate forecasts for the future. Computerized campimetry is used for the diagnosis and monitoring of several eye diseases, especially those that affect peripheral vision, such as glaucoma. The research resulted in a new device, with significant innovations in relation to the main devices available on the market and at a lower cost. The objective is to evaluate the economic feasibility and calculate the costs of the visual field procedure, using a methodology to improve pricing. It is understood that economic feasibility and pricing are related to the structural decentralization of the hospital organization. In addition, it is important to highlight the engagement of all employees and doctors in carrying out the medical procedure. Considering the spread of fixed costs in view of the diversity of services provided, the data used were collected through analysis of management financial reports and interviews with employees. The proposed cost model methods identified a cost-benefit relationship. However, it was found that pricing is satisfactory and emphasizes the importance of monitoring and controlling fixed and variable costs within the institution. The results of the application of the proposed costing system are feasible and the institution considered to be the largest showed to have the best cost-benefit ratio, considering the spread of fixed costs in view of the diversity of services provided. Regarding the cost versus price ratio, profitable procedures were found, while others generated poor results or losses, emphasizing the need for cost control to evaluate services, to be used as a price guide in negotiations with health plans. The conclusion of the proposed model is applicable with advantages. As it contributes to the dissemination and use of cost information, it supports operational management and control and generates preponderant information in negotiations with service recipients.

A Case Against Trophy Hunting Through Utilitarianism Lens: Evidence from Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania
Authors: Kalokola Ritha , Chegere Martin , Mabhuye Edmund
Published: July 2024

The paper delves into the debate on trophy hunting as a conservation tool, examining it from a utilitarian perspective. It financially analyzes the costs and benefits of trophy hunting using a simplified cost-benefit analysis. The study employs a mixed methods design, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods by gathering data from Selous Game Reserve (SGR) and its adjacent villages through interviews with 108 respondents. The findings indicate that trophy hunting in SGR generates positive net benefits of 310,438 USD, making it financially viable. However, the study also reveals that conservation and local community development are not prioritized in its expenditures. Moreover, the negative social and ecological impacts of trophy hunting mean it does not provide the greatest benefit to the greatest number, as Utilitarian theory requires. Therefore, the study concludes that trophy hunting is unethical and recommends against it. Thus, sustainable wildlife conservation and income generation options such as ecotourism may be tested and considered in Tanzania.

Publije Ovidije Nazon (Publius Ovidius Naso 43. god. p. n. e. — 17/18. god. n. e.), posljednji predstavnik ≪zlatnog doba≪ rimskog pjesništva jeste i jedini iz reda slavnih pjesnika augustovskog razdoblja koji se u zapaženijoj mjeri osvrnuo na dešavanja koja su direktno bila povezana s tadašnjom provincijom Ilirikom (Illyricum') i balkanskim svijetom. Taj njegov izražajniji odnos bio je nesumnjivo uvjetovan sa svim onim što se zbivalo s Rimskom Državom u cjelini i sa samim Ovidijem u posljednjoj deceniji augustovskog razdoblja. Radi toga su i Ovidijeve izdašnije reference na Ilirik i balkanski prostor sadržane u njegovim poznim djelima Tuga (Tristia) i Pisma sa Ponta (Epistulae ex Pontd).

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is the leading cause for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. HTN is considered as a hidden epidemic in middle and low income countries like Sudan and has huge burden on the health system. Knowledge is an important prerequisite for an individual to implement behavioural changes towards the control of HTN and prevention of its complications. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of populations in a rural area in Sudan towards HTN. Materials and Methods This was a community–based cross-sectional study, conducted in February -March 2023 among the population of a rural area in Gezira state in central part of Sudan. A structured interviewer-administered; questionnaire was used for data collection, it included demographic data, and relevant clinical data was collected. The total number of participants in this study was 130 both hypertensive and non-hypertensive individuals. Operational definitions and Likert scale was used to compare the variables. Results: 63.0% of participants have good basic knowledge of hypertension, 89.4 % of them have good attitude towards HTN and 80.4% of the study participants have good practices towards control of hypertension. There was significant association between being hypertensive and level of knowledge regarding: causes, symptoms, risk factors, P-value, 0.005, 0.05, 0.01 respectively. Conclusion The results stated that there was adequate knowledge ab There was significant association between being hypertensive and level of knowledge regarding: causes, symptoms, risk factors, P-value, 0.005, 0.05, 0.01 respectively. out hypertension, as well as attitude and self-care practice towards control of hypertension among the participants. These findings suggest that there is a high level of awareness and proper management practices among the community, although there is still room for improvement, particularly in understanding the role of smoking as a risk factor for hypertension and the need for proper follow-up and adherence to medication even in the presence of side effects.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computational paradigm that facilitates the interconnection of intelligent objects to the Internet, enabling interaction, operational efficiency, and communication. Moreover, it allows the collection of various environmental data, which can be processed to develop applications for diverse uses, such as e-health and smart agriculture. Therefore, due to the significant technological advancements and their continuous development and improvement, it is crucial to utilize alternative platforms for teaching and learning these technologies. These platforms should aim to enhance understanding and facilitate application development within these ecosystems. Utilizing tools for simulating or emulating IoT environments can facilitate practice, provide hands-on experience, reduce costs, and enhance agility in creating teaching proposals. This paper analyzes tools and platforms that aid in learning and developing IoT concepts and networks. Specifically, it discusses Internet of Things concepts and tools for simulating or emulating widely used environments.

Published: July 2024

O Pensamento Computacional (PC) tem ganhado cada vez mais destaque em pesquisas nacionais. Embora a BNCC preconize prioritariamente o desenvolvimento das habilidades do PC no contexto da área da Matemática e suas Tecnologias, a resolução de problemas é sugerida como habilidade essencial nas diferentes áreas de conhecimento, incluindo a Física. Nesse contexto, este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL) que teve como objetivo identificar como o PC tem sido abordado no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de conceitos da Física em pesquisas nacionais. Os resultados encontrados apontam para uma baixa incidência de experiências envolvendo as habilidades do PC e o conhecimento Físico.
“Eu posso aprender tudo online”: Uma Análise das Notional Machines do TikTok para Aprender Programação

Published: July 2024

Não é surpreendente que muitos instrutores e estudantes recorram a espaços educacionais não-formais, especialmente redes sociais baseadas em vídeo como o TikTok, quando têm a tarefa de aprender a programar, particularmente quando o treinamento formal é raramente fornecido. No entanto, é incerto que tipo de conteúdo educacional tais plataformas fornecem aos professores e a qualidade desse conteúdo. Neste trabalho, visamos diminuir essa lacuna investigando vídeos de programação no TikTok, extraindo explicações – as Notional Machines – usadas pelos apresentadores. Analisamos 300 vídeos dessa plataforma para classificar as Notional Machines usadas para explicar tópicos como variáveis, loops, condicionais e funções. Nossos resultados mostram que, em geral, a maioria dos vídeos não oferece uma definição explícita dos conceitos, ou usam explicações superficiais ou ”de livro didático”, incluindo algumas consideradas perigosas na literatura. Infelizmente, não conseguimos encontrar uma nova terminologia ou linguagem que permitisse aos educadores se comunicar com sucesso com alunos dos níveis primário e secundário. Embora mais trabalho seja necessário para analisar um corpus maior de vídeos, oferecemos um alerta sobre o uso de conteúdo não verificado como substituto para materiais de aprendizagem bem preparados.

The study compared blended learning with technological support to traditional face-to-face teaching in the learning of science, culture, and computational thinking. The null hypothesis suggested that there would be no performance difference between groups GA and GB, while the alternative hypothesis proposed an advantage for blended learning. However, the statistical analysis found no significant differences in the performance means of the groups (x̄GA = 7.73, x̄GB = 8.46), indicating equivalence in teaching methods. The results suggest that both methods are equally effective in promoting learning. The study highlights the importance of rigorous assessments in understanding the impact of blended learning on student learning.

Brazilian public universities have several high-level and traditional Bachelor courses in Computer Science (BCS), of which quality is largely recognized in society. However, informal talks with students from these courses reveal a recurrent concern with the content taught and their readiness for the industry. In this study, we investigate the relationship between the students’ social identity with their BCS and their perceptions about the content taught. For this purpose, we conducted an opinion survey with students from a traditional BCS course. The study findings reveal that the students tend to feel they belong to their BCS, recognizing its distinctive view in the industry. However, we found that the students with higher identification with the course also tend to be more critical about the content taught.
