POLÍTICAS CURRICULARES E SUAS ARTICULAÇÕES NA PERSPECTIVA DE UMA EDUCAÇÃO DEMOCRÁTICA
Authors: Fritsch Rosangela , Leite Carlinda , Lima Ruy D'Oliveira
Published: September 2021

O presente artigo, ao focar políticas curriculares para a educação básica, tem como objetivo trazer ao debate acadêmico questões relacionadas com a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e o Referencial Curricular Gaúcho (RCG) e suas influências no Documento Orientador Curricular de um Território Municipal ( DOCTM). Apoiado em uma abordagem qualitativa que utiliza o recurso metodológico de análise documental associado a Análise de Redes Sociais, o estudo realizado que a participação da sociedade civil e das comunidades escolares na produção das políticas curriculares é, em geral, restrita a algumas representações e consultas públicas . Os resultados indicaram também que a BNCC como estratégia macro se traduz em um documento excessivamente prescritivo e operacional e, assim,limitado quanto à explicitação e ao delineamento de diretrizes e orientações para seus desdobramentos em níveis estadual e municipal. Foi possível, na leitura do RCG, inferir ser uma proposta pedagógica centrada no desenvolvimento de competências, que tem maior expressão conceitual no BNCC do que no DOCTM. Identificaram-se, ainda, aspectos que não comungam com o regime de colaboração, pois a preparação ea produção dos textos evidenciam desarticulações entre o processo estadual e municipal, com destaque à participação de ambos os entes federativos e outros atores representativos da sociedade civil e das comunidades escolares. que tem maior expressão conceitual na BNCC do que no DOCTM.Identificaram-se, ainda, aspectos que não comungam com o regime de colaboração, pois a preparação ea produção dos textos evidenciam desarticulações entre o processo estadual e municipal, com destaque à participação de ambos os entes federativos e outros atores representativos da sociedade civil e das comunidades escolares. que tem maior expressão conceitual na BNCC do que no DOCTM.

Published: September 2021

The aim of this handbook is to support the further development of multilingual and multimodal approaches to academic study at JYU. This handbook has been developed within the Faculty of Education and Psychology as part of the Creating Space pedagogical development project during the 2019-2020 academic year, drawing on and developing existing study guides by JYU . We hope, however, that this handbook is useful beyond our Faculty and that it adds language and cultural considerations to the existing study guides. We have provided brief explanations of different types of assignments and academic activities that are part of academic study and relevant to teaching in higher education. We have also included ‘good to know’ pointers for students and teachers, as well as suggestions for how different languages can be used as resources in academic study, and highlighting ways in which cultural awareness can support academic participation. The call-out bubbles are quotations from students and teachers who have participated in the Creating Space events. We hope that this handbook helps to raise awareness regarding the value and role of different languages, cultures and modalities in academic study and provides useful pedagogical tools for students and teachers.

Authors: YELPAZE İsmail , DENİZ Mehmet Engin , SATICI Begüm
Published: September 2021

The researcher in this study examined psychological vulnerability as a mediator between social connectedness and well-being among university students in Turkey. Two hundred sixty-one students (138 females and 123 males, mean age = 20.95 ± 1.49) completed self-report questionnaires including the Social Connectedness Scale, the Subjective Vitality Scale, the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Flourishing Scale, and the Psychological Vulnerability Scale. The researcher explored a theoretical-conceptual model and tested it using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and bootstrapping. SEM results showed that social connectedness had a direct effect on well-being, partially mediated by psychological vulnerability. The results indicated an indirect yet significant effect of psychological vulnerability on the relationship between social connectedness and well-being. Theoretical implications and research limitations were discussed.

Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Jo Seong-Yeon
Published: September 2021

From the perspective of balanced communication in public sphere, this study analyzed the controversies among different stakeholders surrounding the revisions of 'the Special Act on Assistance to the Development of Abandoned Mine Areas' in 2011 and 2021. Using the collection tool of Textom 5.0 and analysis tool of UCINET 6.0 NetDraw, a semantic network analysis was performed to achieve the purpose of the study. Specifically, articles and news about the special act revisions, which appeared in twelve on-off line news papers in 2011 and 2021, were collected and analyzed. Results showed that the most highly mentioned keywords in the 2011 revision controversy were the justification for the casino and background for the special act, while those of the 2021 revision controversy were abolition of the statue of limitation of the special act and protest against governments. These imply that controversy surrounding revision in 2021 were more powerful and effective for the revision of the law compared to that of 2011. This study shows the importance of collecting data on the communication process among different stakeholders to develop better policy, which entails balanced communication in public sphere. Policy makers could use the results of this study for developing strategic measures for the balanced communication in tourism policy related public sphere.

Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Song HakJun , Kim Namhyun , Pyun Ju Hyun
Published: September 2021

As the world is struggling with the coronavirus (COVID-19), it is an important research task to understand the negative impact of the disease on the tourism industry with similar examples from the past and to prepare countermeasures for it. This study examines the effects of tourist attention to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) on international tourism demand for South Korea during 2009– 2016. Search volume indices for MERS in Google and Baidu were employed as a proxy for the tourist attention paid to MERS. Using a structural vector autoregression model with block exogeneity restrictions, we set up tourist attention to MERS as an exogenous variable and control for endogeneity between macroeconomic variables and tourist arrivals. Our results show that the tourist attention paid to MERS has detrimental effects on tourist arrivals and its effects are heterogeneous across visitor countries. While the negative effects of tourist attention to MERS on U.S. and European tourist arrivals were moderate, this negative information effect was more pronounced when the countries of visitors are closer to Korea, such as Japan and China. Future research directions and limitations of the study was discussed at the end of the study.
Psychology of Leisure Approach to Healing Tourism Experience: Applying Text Mining Techniques and Sentiment Analysis
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Hong Min-Jung
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study is to explore healing tourism experiences from the perspective of leisure psychology. Using the case of templestay expedience and through text mining on the big data of templestay experience, it investigates the dimensions of healing tourism. It also explored the emotions of templestay participants with sentiment analysis. Data were collected from SNS such as facebook, twitter and Youtube, and they were used after refinement. Analyses of data suggests two dimensions of the experiences of healing tourism: (a) environmental experience, which consists of special environment or places from templestay, and (b) healing experience, which is composed of different activities of healing. Results of sentiment analysis on the emotions of the templestay participants indicates that they experienced positive emotions such as good feelings, joy and interest. In addition, results showed that templestay participants’ experience of positive emotion could make an effect on their experience of happiness. However, surprisingly, results also showed that a few templestay participants experience negative feelings such as fear, anger, anxiety, which may be experienced as a part of healing. This study will be able to contribute to healing tourism by providing researchers with useful data of participants’ experience and by suggesting practitioners with healing tourism guidelines.
Image of the EAEU in the Leading U.S. News Media Outlets
Authors: Vikhrova Olga
Published: September 2021

At a time when representation in the digital and information environment becomes one of the most important factors in the development of the territories, as well as a full-fledged tool for achieving geopolitical and economic goals, the work on the formation of foreign policy images of the regions in foreign media space takes on special importance. In this article, based on the analysis of theoretical and methodological aspects of its use, the author distinguished between the concepts of "image" as a chaotically forming set of audience perceptions and "image" as a purposefully structured work on the formation of specific ideas about the territory. Taking into account that the measures stipulated by the Strategy for the Development of Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025 aimed at providing broad audience access to information about the Union are focused only on the population of the participating countries, and there is no purposeful work to form the image of the EAEU in foreign media, the author analyzed the image of the Eurasian Economic Union created in the leading American Internet media. The results of the frequency content analysis of the materials of the USA leading online news media, conducted within the study, as well as the emotional tone of these publications, demonstrate that the Eurasian Economic Union is in dire need of focused effort to create and consolidate a sustainable foreign policy image in the media space of the West. Already in 2017, the negative image of the integration association associated with Russia's aggression, actively formed by the leading US news media in 2014–2016, has lost relevance as uninteresting to the American audience and was deleted from the agenda.
Out of Compassion or Out of Rights? A Story about an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Human Clinical Trial
Authors: Eyal Hedva
Published: September 2021

This article examines the intersection of compassion and rights, and how the two concepts are constituted and wielded in the context of human clinical trials. Doron, an ALS patient who was recruited to a clinical trial, believed that he had the right to post-trial treatment according to the wording of an informed consent form he signed before joining the trial. However, the biotech company sponsoring the trial instead offered him ‘compassionate use’ access, i.e., access at its discretion rather than as a legal obligation on its part. I argue that under a ‘bioeconomy of value’, the human clinical trial regime has been subordinated to two competing discourses: that of compassion and that of patients’ rights. Both are interpreted and deployed differently by the different stakeholders, namely the patient, the biotech company, and the medical establishment. I argue that the adoption, by bioeconomy actors, of a social value discourse of compassion is designed to preserve a hierarchy that deprives the patient of their power and their rights. Simultaneously, this practice highlights the power of the biotech industry as a moral partner and ‘saviour’ in its relationship with patient organisations and its role as a medical–scientific actor in the Israeli healthcare system.

A model is proposed which explains the observed effect of gravity-wave influence of relativistic binaries to the Earth’s electric field vertical projection in the near-ground atmosphere layer. The considered mechanism is a perturbation of the Earth’s orbit by the gravity waves which leads to a small displacement between the Earth and the Earth’s atmosphere free electric charge. The proposed model give amplitude estimations of Ez components spectrally localized at the relativistic binaries gravity waves’ frequencies which do not contradict to the observations.

Measurements of the phonon spectrum of the LED heterostructure based on the In0.12Ga0.88N/GaN barrier showed the presence in it of four peaks of phonon radiation with energies of 0.193, 0.207, 0.353, and 0.356 eV. From a comparison of the results of the calculation of the energy spectrum of the electron and hole quantum wells with the obtained experimental data, it was assumed that these peaks can be interpreted as the energies of phonons generated during the capture of electrons from the barrier layer to the second level of dimensional quantization, as well as during the relaxation of electrons from the second level to the radiation level and trapping holes to the upper level of the quantum well.

Published: September 2021

A polarization-modulation method for simultaneous determination of the navigation parameters of the bearing and roll of an aircraft from orthogonally linearly polarized beacon signals is studied. Signals are emitted simultaneously from two spatially separated points in the horizontal plane with known coordinates. On Board the aircraft, the resulting vector signals are received by the onboard receiving antenna, in the path of which a polarizing modulator is installed. A rotating section of a circular waveguide with a quarter-wave phase plate embedded inside is used as a polarizing modulator. The bearing and roll of the aircraft are estimated at the output of a single-channel receiver, respectively, by the amplitudes and phases of the second and fourth harmonics of the polarization modulation frequency contained in the envelope spectrum of the received resulting vector signals.

As globalization continues, medical educators must acknowledge the increasing need to create safe spaces for students to incorporate global citizen competencies. Short international experiences are a way in which students can acquire these features. The study aimed to evaluate cultural competency learning during an international activity situated in a conflict zone environment that embraces health innovation. The method approach was an explanatory sequential mixed method design. The quantitative instrument was a survey (Cronbach alpha 0.74) with 27 items with 5 Likert scale from totally agree to totally disagree, addressing the four dimensions of cultural competence: conflict resolution, peace appreciation, multiculturalism, and health innovation. The qualitative phase was implemented with individual interviews with participants. A total of 19 medical students from Monterrey and Mexico City with an average age of 22.73 (±3.42) participated in an immersive program for observation, active listening, and analysis of Israeli and Palestine narratives. Descriptive analysis indicated that the most impacted areas were health innovation (4.83 ± 0.032, p<0.001) and multiculturalism (4.80 ± 0.02, p<0.001). Interviews mostly drew positive impressions regarding the development of health innovation and multiculturalism skills. The participation of students in a short trip to a conflict zone conflict inspired them with multicultural skills and a broader perspective regarding innovative problem-solving strategies in healthcare systems.

The international exchange for undergraduate students is a life-changing experience, an opportunity to interact with others and develop intercultural skills while learning. Nevertheless, the deficit in student participation in internationalization activities demands new formats that offer this academic practice in a virtual environment. Adjacent to this scenario, the greatest impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education was face-to-face exchanges. Therefore, academic programs as Global Classroom was the only way for an international exchange amid the pandemic. The objective of this study was to assess the perceptions of the students about an implementation of a virtual international exchange shared with students from Mexico and Ecuador, focused on this contribution as an educational innovation to promote learning in multicultural and interdisciplinary skills. The study considered a quantitative approach to analyze a student's perception of the experience, and the design was descriptive and cross-sectional. The sample were 44 students enrolled in the experience in the August-December semester in 2020, 22 from Mexico and 22 from Ecuador. The instrument was made of 5 items in which the participants shared their experience regarding the different tools and activities, and their contribution to the educational objectives. Results show that the students valued the intercultural experience positively and the contribution of the different free-access educational technology tools to develop synchronous and asynchronous activities. Other disciplines and institutions can learn from this implementation to design remote educational environments that offer this internationalization experience for learners even after the pandemic.

Teaching very young learners is one the most challenging, yet, most rewarding things in the field of TEFL. Teaching preschoolers and kindergarten students focuses on teaching the language by creating experiences. However, how feasible can this be at the time of the pandemic when classrooms turned into virtual classrooms and EFL teachers of very young learners had to face a new set of challenges? This paper is about teaching English to very young learners (4-6 years old) online. The paper explores some of the key characteristics, needs and strengths of the very young learners and the challenges of online education with those age groups, and then goes on to examine the practical implications as these relate to our planning and teaching methodologies. Finally, it focuses on how teaching very young learners means exposing students to the target language through messy play, CLIL, Art, storytelling and activities that place the child in the centre of the learning procedure, giving them reasons to use the language and engaging them meaningfully through fun and creative activities, even when lesson takes place online, in a Digital World.

Science literacy skills are needed in 21st century learning. As a developing country, schools in Indonesia should create learning that is able to practice these skills. The learning strategy that requires students to explore and use scientific knowledge to solve problems is collaborative learning. The collaborative learning model is suitable for learning that is closely related to environmental problems, one of which is biology. Therefore, this study aims to determine the level of understanding of students related to biology (ecosystem) material, to find out students' experiences related to-based textbooks collaborative learning, and to find out the conditions of biology learning that have been applied in schools. This type of research is descriptive quantitative. The research subjects were 30 students of SMAN 1 Ngunut. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, tests, and questionnaires. The sample of respondents was taken by purposive sampling on the advice of the Biology teacher. The results of this study are as follows: 1) In terms of the level of understanding related to biological material (ecosystem), it is classified as lacking. 2) Students' experiences in learning biology so far have never found the collaborative learning textbook. 3) Learning activities to practice scientific literacy skills are rarely carried out. After adding up the average percentage of each indicator, it is known that the students' understanding is still in the lacking category with a percentage of 44.8%, so that better knowledge and readiness are still needed so as to be able to achieve the 21st century learning goals. One of the steps to solve this problem is to use learning resources that train a lot of scientific literacy skills. The majority of teachers through the survey also agree that the limitations of learning media to train scientific literacy skills can be circumvented by developing textbook-based collaborative learning. Therefore, it can be concluded that textbooks based on collaborative learning model need to be developed. Keywords: textbook, collaborative learning, ecosystem, scientific literacy

One of the graduate competencies in electronics engineering degree programmes under scrutiny in recent years, and much appreciated by the industry, is the proficient use of electronics laboratory equipment. Some academic institutions conduct their assessment using the observation of student performance while they develop laboratory experiments, whereas other institutions base their assessment on simulators and environments that allow capturing the interaction of students with traditional electronic circuits running on a computer. In contrast, this paper presents a novel approach on assessing electronics laboratory competencies using a remote laboratory, virtual observation and faulty prototyped electronic circuits. The selection of faulty electronic circuits as the instrument for the assessment resulted from coincidences of the graduate competencies declared by the university the authors work for and a survey among company leaders and professionals. Virtual observation consists in gathering information as to how a student uses some software to solve a challenge in order to produce an assessment. Virtual observation has been reported to be successful in substituting physical observation, thus reducing the tedious and error-prone revision of laboratory reports. The use of a remote laboratory allows students to interact with a traditional laboratory at home, while facilitating virtual observation to take place. The paper discusses the competency selected to be assessed and the levels of competency a student can attain based on the performance results. The different candidate faulty circuits as well as the faults to be found by the students are reviewed. Finally, the characteristics, configuration and expected outcomes of the assessment are outlined, as the competency assessment is scheduled to take place during the spring term.

First aid training is a fundamental requirement for healthcare programs. For Tec21, there is a week dedicated to educating students in this topic. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the faculty team to redesign the First Aid Week from face-to-face training into a remote learning practice. The purpose was to assess the perceived value of competencies learning, considering first aid emergency skills and interprofessional working. The method was mixed: quantitative with pre-test and post-test (Cronbach alpha 0.93 and 0.97) and qualitative analysis. The difference between expectations (pre-test) vs. achievements(post-test) was analyzed with Expectation Confirmation Theory (Olivares et al., 2019), which classifies results as positive confirmation (+DC), confirmation (C), and negative confirmation (-DC). A total of 253 students participated from Physician and Surgeon, Nutrition and Wellness, Dentistry, Psychology, and Biosciences. Twelve items were related to accident preventive teaching, basic life support, psychological first aid, role designation, and teamwork communication. Day one was about introduction and prevention. On day two, students learned about triage and self-directed group simulation. Third day included a CPR practice (using a DIY mannequin). On day four, students had lectures on psychological first aid and a role-playing activity with peers and instructors. Results indicated +DC on both competencies. Knowledge in practice was 3.34 (±1.13) (pre-test) and 4.84 (±0.57) (post-test) with a p-value of <.0001. Ethical practice and reflection were 4.40 (±0.46) (pre-test) and 4.15 (±0.62) (post-test) with a p-value of 0.025. Interprofessional working was 4.53 (±0.52) (pre-test) and 4.77 (±0.49) (post-test) with a pvalue of <.0001. The most common feedback from students was that they learned how to respond in an emergency. Interprofessional Healthcare Education promotes collaboration to enhance the quality of patient care. The distance teaching format was not a barrier to learning. The lack of commercial mannequins was replaced with low-cost simulation activity from home. This innovative immersive week helped students learn about first aid and increase their ability to respond to basic emergencies.

This paper analyzes the Mexican Stock Market indicators and their relationships to study the ten most representative stocks in The Mexican Stock Market Index between 2011 to 2020, reflecting behavioral effects using the Mexican Volatility Index. A longitudinal research design of 119 observations sample size is modeled monthly; this sample was transformed into categorical variables to reflect emotional stages. The main objective was to analyze the stock market emotions applying a novel approach to create latent behavioral variables using current Mexican behavioral indicators as reflexive constructs. There is a lack of knowledge in using different techniques to model financial behavior in financial and economic modeling. The typical techniques employed to model market time series have been simple and multiple regression, broadly used in this science. Since behavioral science appliances, there is a need for evolution to modeling the complex nature of behavior. Partial Least Squares and Structural Equation Models (PLS-SEM) can manage different scales, complex relations, reflexive or formative models, non-normal data, and small samples. Possible because of the lack of knowledge al flexibility of PLSSEM models, there is an evident lack in the use of this methodology in modern research and financial teaching, so a new methodology for modeling financial data is exposed that can resolve problems in financial researching and teaching. It is relevant to show a way of modeling emotional financial markets; it is recommended the use of this modeling in different kind of data, different countries, characteristics, sectors, industries, or variables, or any possible application in different sciences with the same problems of assumptions like in economics sciences.

Clinical simulation is an engaging teaching strategy that has been used to develop disciplinary and soft skills in medical students through structured educational activities with assessment and feedback. COVID-19 has forced medical schools into redesigning many curricular activities, including these clinical simulations, which leveraged virtual technologies to continue the training amid the pandemic. The objective of this study was to assess the adaptation of clinical simulation to a virtual-based format to continue medical students' training. The sample of participants in this study was 34-thirdyear medical students. Simulation sessions were held through a synchronous videoconference platform where students used a monitor for vital signs, an actor simulated a patient, and the corresponding lab results and imaging studies were available upon students' request. Students provided care for the patient by teams; they interviewed and asked for physical exam findings from an actor representing a nurse. The simulation adapted to the team's performance, students were provided with the test results as they requested, and the patient's vital signs responded to the team's prescriptions. Following the simulation, they received feedback using the debriefing with a good-judgment framework which supports a reflection regarding their mental processes leading to decision-making. Adapting educational strategies using technology in remote teaching is essential for medical schools to continue their training. This curricular adaptation exemplifies a proficient way to carry out virtual simulation activities amid the pandemic, easily adapted to other disciplines and educational levels.

Entrance examinations for postgraduate students are used by institutions to value their capacity to perform during their studies and excel in professional practice. The medical field leverages this practice for postgraduate students to select the best candidates to enter a rigorous program where participants are responsible for patients outcomes. Therefore it is important to analyze the quality and predictability of those examinations. The objective of this study was to analyze the predictability of the medical residency entrance examination for academic performance. As part of the analysis, we correlated the academic performance of the 2018 generation of graduates in thirteen medical specialties at Tecnologico de Monterrey, with 64 students' test scores. Academic performance was divided into students who graduated with honors and excellence (scores ≥90) and without honors. The admission test score has an 800-points total and was classified as high (≥600) and standard(≥550). The results show that from the participants, 37 had high entrance scores, of those 92% graduated with honors and excellence, and from the other 27 graduates which had a standard entrance score, 78% graduated with honors and excellence. The predictive positive value was 92% and the negative predictive value was 22%, whereas sensibility and specificity were calculated as 62% and 66%, respectively. Tecnologico de Monterrey's admission test had a predictive value in medical specialties academic performance whereas not in negative predictive value, which could evidentiate that the formation in the academic program itself contributed to students' professional and personal development. Factors like this might affect the sensibility and specificity values, further students would integrate more elements of performance scores to have added specificity and sensibility to assess and document performance Keywords: Higher education, Educational innovation, Medical education, Academic Performance, Residency programs, Admission test
TRANSFORMATIONS OF MONA LISA: THE CASE OF A DISTANCE EDUCATION ART-ANDTECHNOLOGY PROJECT

Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci has been subject to numerous and various transformations in the form of (re)interpretations, reproductions, replicas, appropriations and parodies. Mona Lisa is far more than a mere Renaissance portrait or a symbol of its time. Instead Mona Lisa is radically connected with artistic movements and practices throughout the history of art as well as with the 20th and 21st century visual culture, visual commerce and social media imagery. This paper presents an activity in a higher education Department of Early Childhood where students experimented with digital tools and made a collective artwork of digital transformations of Mona Lisa. This digital experiment was a distance education project which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in Greece. At first, students were given examples of appropriations and parodies of Mona Lisa from the history of art as well as from the visual culture. Then students gave their own "responses" through making digitally transformed versions of Mona Lisa which they put together in a collective digital mosaic. Clones, distortions, semi-transparencies, repositions and other transformations within 75 Mona Lisa versions render this collective artwork a composition with reference to pixel structure. Students' collective artwork contributed to the deeper understanding of Da Vinci's masterpiece and increased their confidence and familiarity with Renaissance painting. The case of this activity proves that digital culture is a catalyst for art history learning and creativity in the classroom. Furthermore, this activity fosters collaborative learning through distance education and turns out to be a vehicle for empowering learners in a digital world, as well as for developing linguistic, numerical and multisensory skills through digital creativity.

The Google framework called TensorFlow has been widely used for decision making in several areas, including Education. Predicting student risk and optimizing a student’s learning path are, for example, two traditional educational problems that have been explored for years but there are a myriad of different data mining approaches involved. This paper’s goal is to illustrate the results of a systematic mapping process conducted on educational data mining studies using the TensorFlow framework. Furthermore, this paper will assist in illustrating what kind of problems to focus on (which can paradoxically be seen as opportunities), identify, demonstrate, and catalogue all the academic studies that have discussed it, and the approaches leveraged (neural network, decision tree, natural language processing, and so on). The mapping process followed five phases with rigor, returning a set of 32 relevant papers in the study area with detailed information related to the research questions. The outcome of this systematic study will be of benefit to academic managers, researchers, and students who use this framework as support to solve educational problems.
