The Mediating Role of Organizational Identification between Leadership and Job Security: A case of Teachers in Private institutions of Punjab-Pakistan
Authors: Ali Haider , Hussain Fawad , Khan Anyl
Published: February 2021

In the business environment today job security is an important and primary requirement of the employees as the employees’ turnover rate is haphazardly increasing in different industrial sectors. This study determines the impact of leadership and organizational identification on the job security of teachers in the private institutions Punjab, Pakistan and the mediation of organizational identification is also tested. Data is analyzed by using Smart partial least squares structural equation modeling (Smart-PLS-SEM). Many teachers suffer from low job security that not only affect them internally but also affect their work performance. Therefore the main objective of our research is to determine the responsible factors which affect the job security of teachers working in the private educational institutions operationalized under BISE Punjab. In this paper, the parameters used for determining the job security of teachers are; Leadership, and organizational identification and mediating role of organizational identification between leadership and job security is also tested. During this study, 150 teachers from different private institutions operational in Punjab were asked to fill up the questionnaires containing a total of 32 items including different numbers of questions related to each determinant. The results showed that the determinants can explain the job security of the teachers up to a significant level. However, regression analysis and validity analysis proves that they are good predictors of job security of the employees (teachers). Beside these conclusions, this paper introduced other scientific queries and issues regarding the different types of relations or connections among the determinants and hence gives probable pathways to explain or interpret the relations.

Published: February 2021

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of transformational leadership and corporate reputation on employer branding by testing a hypothesized model. This study employed a quantitative online survey technique. The researcher distributed 350 questionnaires through purposive sampling out of which 132 questionnaires received back for data analysis. Regression analysis was selected to analyze the collected data to test the hypothesis developed from past literature. Results validate that transformational leadership has an impact on employer branding and employer branding has a direct impact on corporate reputation but correlation amid transformational leadership and business reputation goes insignificant when added employer branding showing full mediation of this variable. The present study backs the writings of business reputation that can be developed through transformational leadership and employer branding. The findings would be helpful for organizational leaders in developing strategies to create a corporate reputation.

Transfer, Transformation, Transition: What the School Librarian can do in Transliteracy, the French context
Authors: Lehmans Anne , Mazurier Valentine
Published: February 2021

With the emergence of digital information, the school library as a physical location still exists but its spaces and boundaries are reshuffled. This major change encourages us to study the new distribution of spaces in school libraries, the relationships between different types of spaces (physical and digital, individual and social, private and public) and the way pupils move from one to the other. Information transliteracy is the topic of a research project led in France. Our research points out the transformation of learning strategies in collaborative situations, transfers between informal personal digital abilities and formal academic skills and between experts and novices, transition from learning to creating, cognitive redistribution between spaces. We explore and try to explain some of these processes which seem to us encouraging for the future of school libraries and signs of a renewal of the task of librarians, implying new modes of action which we will describe: mediation, creation, education.

Literature in Digital Environments: Changes and Emerging Trends in Australian School Libraries
Authors: O’Connell Judy , Bales Jenni , Mitchell Pru
Published: February 2021

Igniting a passion for reading and research is core business for school libraries, inevitably placing the library at the center of the 21st century reading and learning experience. It is in this context that digital literature creates some challenging questions for teachers and librarians in schools, while the emergence of digital technology and/or device options also offers a great many opportunities. Collection development in school libraries encompasses an understanding of the need to contextualize these e-literature needs within the learning and teaching experiences in the school. The Australian Library and Information Association’s 2013 statement Future of collections 50:50 predicted that library print and ebook collections in libraries would establish a 50:50 equilibrium by 2020 and that this balance would be maintained for the foreseeable future. This statement from the Australian professional body raised the need to know more about e-collections in school libraries. For teacher librarians in Australian schools, the nature of online collections, and the integration of ebooks into the evolving reading culture is influenced by the range and diversity of texts, interfaces, devices, and experiences available to complement existing print and media collections or services. Management and budget constraints also influence e-collections. By undertaking a review of the literature, a discussion of the education context, and a critical analysis of the trends evidenced by national survey data, this paper presents an overview of the changes and emerging trends in digital literature and ebook collections in school library services in Australia today.
The School Library as a Bridge to Literacy: A Garden of Words
Authors: Perriel Yvonne
Published: February 2021

Administrators and teachers have the expertise to utilize theoretical and practical experiences in dealing with students but are unaware of the vital role of parental involvement in students’ academic achievement. The purpose of this research was to explore whether the impact of the implementation of a literacy garden could improve reading level of fourth grade boys at Northside All Age School. Data was obtained using the quasi experimental design. Fifty-three students from two classes grade four at Northside All Age were used. The study was done after a survey was conducted among children in grade four. Data were analyzed using charts and descriptive statistics. . Some of the findings revealed that the implementation of literacy garden has a positive effect of literacy at grade four. The reading level of the boys increases as their self-esteem increases. It was recommended, based on the findings that parents should be more involved in their child’s life at school. That both teachers and parents should motivate slow readers and also that teachers use teaching strategies that will help children who are slow readers.
Using Your Outside Voice: Action Research Speaks for the School Librarian
Authors: Robins Jennifer
Published: February 2021

Successful school library programs occur through careful planning and reflection. School librarians who are reflective practitioners observe how learning occurs in the library and the classroom and consider ways to improve it. They consult research and collaborate with teachers so students are more successful. This reflective process is improved when it is applied in a systematic way, through action research. With action research, reflection is based on evidence, using data collected by the practitioner.This study presents cumulative outcomes from 156 action research projects conducted by 39 school librarians. It also includes results from a follow-up survey completed by 19 of the 39 school librarians that demonstrates how conducting action research affects their sense of professional efficacy.
Motivation to transfer learning to multiple contexts
Authors: Testers Laurent , Gegenfurtner Andreas , Brand-Gruwel Saskia
Published: February 2021

To stay up-to-date in contemporary information intensive societies it is important to be able to effectively and efficiently find, evaluate, process and present required information. In educational contexts training in these so-called information literacy competences is mainly the domain of institutional libraries. Essential to education is the long-term transfer of learning, that is the application of newly acquired competencies also outside the training environment. Research learns that this often takes place sparsely, leading to what is called a Transfer Paradox. The aim of this study is to develop a practical instrument for instructional designers to measure the influence of a set of key variables on the learner's motivation to transfer learning to the wider educational and the work context. Two hundred and thirty-four students of the Open University of the Netherlands doing an information literacy course filled out a questionnaire before entering the course. Data was analyzed using factor analyses and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results show that the opportunity to apply new learning and sanctions from supervisors are two important factors that influence the learner's motivation to transfer learning in both the study and the work context already before the course has started.
College-Level Information Literacy Framework
Authors: Farmer Lesley
Published: February 2021

U.S. K12 education increasingly emphasizes the need for students to be college and career ready; nevertheless, too many student come unprepared to learn effectively. This paper discusses the roles that teacher librarians can play in facilitating such readiness, especially in light of information and digital literacy. First, the American Association of School Librarians standards for 21st century learners and the Association of College and Research Libraries new Information Literacy Framework are detailed, noting implications for education and librarians. Next, models of effective articulation do exist, and strategies for optimizing articulation should be considered. Teacher librarians should collaborate with their post-secondary librarian counterparts; by articulating curriculum either to identify equivalencies or to build upon prior learning, librarians can promote seamless transfer from one level to another – including to the workplace.

Published: February 2021

Urbanization is the main issue that altered the environmental condition nowadays. Urbanization means that there are changes in suburban areas to fulfill the function needed in the urban area. Nowadays, urbanization occurred due to the high demand of housing area with lower budget and comfortable environment of living condition. This condition was presented in the Bogor city case. Bogor is one of the oldest cities in Indonesia which is located in the southern part of Jakarta. Due to the increase of population in the capital city and increased of the higher price of housing, people started to looked for place to stay outside the city. Bogor located in the strategic location just close enough for people to commute to Jakarta. The transit city transform into commuting city. People works in Jakarta wanted to live in a more comfortable place of living and cheaper in price than the capital city started to see Bogor as an opportunity. Based on the data obtained by the Central Bureau of Statistics Jakarta in 2015, there are 187.777 total people commuted daily from Bogor to Jakarta. This condition also triggered by the better quality of access in and out Bogor. Mass rapid transportation and highway toll gate create more land cover changes potential to fulfill the high demand of housing. Thus, this research aimed to see the effect of highway toll gate in the land use cover change in Bogor city. Landsat Images was used using the time-series method started since 1978 (the official year of Jagorawi Toll gate operation) with the 10 years interval time, 1989, 1999, 2009 and 2016. In determining the land use cover change, NDVI method was used which has been widely applied in detecting the greeneries. The result then evaluated using the supervised classification and validated using the Kappa Accuracy test. The result of this research shows that land use cover change corresponded with the total population in the citizenship census 2009. Total built area in 2009 is 36.20% which increased by 8.46% since 1999, this result suitable with the total population 949.000 in 2009 Citizenship census which increased by 364.000 since 1999. The highest built area detected is 42.15% in 2016 with total of 1.030.720 population and three active Highway toll gate operated.

Green open spaces can be potential habitats for birds in urban landscapes. Due to high number of land development, the green open spaces in urban landscapes tend to be small and scattered. Indeed, analysis about effectivity of green open spaces as bird habitats in Bogor City and its surroundings is needed. We investigated bird habitat patches on 14 locations in Bogor City and its surroundings. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of bird habitat patches for bird species richness using two variables (size and complexity). The data were analyzed using the Pearson Correlation and multiple linear regression. The results showed that there were no significant differences between bird species richness and size of patches. Conversely, there were significant differences between bird species richness and complexity of patches. The Pearson Correlation revealed that there were high correlation between bird species richness and complexity of patches. Finally, we propose three recommendations of green open spaces as bird habitat patches in Bogor City and its surroundings, such as protecting and managing both small and large bird habitat patches, increasing number of vegetation strata and number of vegetation in some strata in small bird habitat patches, and increasing number of vegetation in some strata in large bird habitat patch with low bird speciess richness.
INTERTWINED ROLES OF THE POLITICS OF BELONGING AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION IN THE MODERN POLITICAL PROJECTS
Authors: TAŞKESEN Suat
Published: February 2021

This study intends to make a comprehensive analysis of the intertwined roles of the politics of belonging and political socialization in the modern political world. In this sense, basic hypothesis behind this study is that while mankind’s need to belong is regarded as among the innate traits, the politics of belonging, on the other hand, is a modern phenomenon like the nation is. In simple terms, transition from pre-modernity to the modernity basically refers to emergence of subjective rights in favour of the individual who became right-bearer entity. That also means transformation of the legal ground in which any individual could have multiple social positions in a non-stratified societal construction instead strictly depending on only one lifetime fixed social position a peculiar social layer or hierarchy as apparently seen in the pre-modernity. Therefore, the emergence of the politics of belonging is strictly associated with that of the modernity, because of the fact that the main subject of the politics of belonging is basically the modern right-bearer individual whose political preferences are formed by his/her political socialization processes. Apparently, studying the politics of belonging in the context of the modernity and taking into account its intertwined relations with the political socialization eventually makes us rethink all the modern political conceptions like nation(alism), ethnicity, gender, terrorism, religious fundamentalism, migration and refugee issues and so on.

14 Mayıs 2017 tarihinde resmen Fransa Cumhurbaşkanı olan Emmanuel Macron gerek Fransa tarihinin gerekse de Avrupa Birliği politikasının en genç siyasi aktörlerinden birisi olmuştur. Seçimin ikinci turunda Macron’un Marine Le Pen karşısındaki zaferi aynı zamanda Avrupa’da yükseliş eğilimi içerisinde olan aşırı sağcı görüşler bağlamında da yeni bir boyutu ifade etmiştir. Macron Cumhurbaşkanlığı sürecinin başlangıcından itibaren kısa sürede iç politikada ve dış politikada gündem teşkil eden bir isim olmuş ve birtakım krizlerle karşı karşıya kalmıştır. İç politika açısından “Sarı Yelekliler Hareketi” bu açıdan önemli bir süreci beraberinde getirmiştir. Dış politika açısından bakıldığında ise Macron’un Avrupa Birliği ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ile olan ilişkilerdeki yeni söylemleri dikkat çekmiştir. Aynı zamanda Doğu Akdeniz ve İslamofobia ekseninde Türkiye özelindeki ilişkiler de kriz olarak değerlendirilebilecek boyutlara ulaşmıştır. Macron’un Cumhurbaşkanlığı süresinin ilk yarısını (2017-2020) ele alan bu çalışma bu ilişkilere dair Fransa özelindeki değişimin ve sürekliliğin analiz edilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Fransa’nın özellikle dış politika alanında göstermiş olduğu reaksiyonların/reflekslerin bazı noktalarda değişim bazı noktalarda ise süreklilik arz ettiği müşahede edilmiştir.
YEREL KATILIM AÇISINDAN KENT VE KENTLİ KİMLİĞİ, KENTSEL AİDİYET VE KENTSEL FARKINDALIK DÜZEYİ: BATMAN ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: BİMAY Muzaffer
Published: February 2021

Kentin ortaya çıkışı milattan öncesine dayanmasına rağmen kent ve kentli kimliğinin oluşturulması ve kentsel aidiyet ilişkisinin kurulması, kentsel katılım mekanizmalarının hayata geçirildiği 19. yüzyıla dayanmaktadır. Bu dönem, modern anlamda kentin tanımlandığı, kentin kentliler tarafından sahiplendiği, demokratik yerel yönetim ve katılım mekanizmalarının ortaya çıktığı, yerel kimliklerin farkına varıldığı sanayileşme sonrası dönemdir. Ancak sanayileşme sonrası kentlerin, sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel olanakları sayesinde maruz kaldığı yoğun nüfus hareketleri nedeniyle kent ve kentli kimliğini korumak, yerel halkın kentsel aidiyet ve farkındalık düzeylerini diri tutmak gittikçe güçleşmiştir. Bu nedenle kentte yaşayanların, kentli hakları açısından, kentsel aidiyet duygusunu ve kentsel farkındalık düzeyini geliştirilebilmeleri için kente özgü davranış biçimlerini benimsemeleri ve yerel yönetim mekanizmalarında katılım olanağı bulmaları gerekir. Buradan hareketle yapılan bu çalışmanın amacı, son yüzyılda hızlı bir kentleşme süreci geçiren Batman’da, kentte yaşayan bireylerin yerel katılım ve kentsel hakları kullanmaları açısından kentsel aidiyet duygularını ve farkındalık düzeylerini incelemektir. Bu bağlamda yapılan saha araştırmasında nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak araştırmanın hedef evrenini oluşturan ve Batman kentinde yaşayan kişiler içinden 18 yaşından büyük 238 katılımcı ile anket yapılmıştır. Anketler 2020 yılı içerisinde uygulamalı bir alan araştırması şeklinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan katılımcıların çoğunun çocukluk veya gençlik yıllarını geçirdikleri Batman’da, kentsel haklar bağlamında kentlilik bilincine sahip oldukları ve kentsel hakların farkında oldukları, ancak yerel katılım mekanizmalarının işlevsizliğinden kaynaklanan yetersiz katılım olanakları nedeniyle bu hakları kullanmada sorun yaşadıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Dolayısıyla kent ve kentli kimliği açısından çoğu katılımcının kentsel aidiyet duygularının gelişmediği de söylenebilir. Çalışmada ayrıca kentsel bilinç düzeyinin geliştirilmesi için kentsel hakların kullanılmasına yönelik katılım olanaklarının genişletilmesi gerektiği de vurgulanmıştır.

“ÖTEKİ AMERİKA”NIN SESİ: HOWARD FAST’İN SUÇSUZLAR ADLI ROMANINDA YERLEŞİKLER VE GÖÇMENLER
Authors: ERDEM Murat
Published: February 2021

Bu çalışmada Amerikalı yazar Howard Fast’in Suçsuzlar (1953) adlı romanı üzerinden 1920’lerin Amerika’sına yönelik kültürel incelemeler gerçekleştirilerek, toplumda ön plana çıkmış siyasal, sosyal ve tarihsel olgulara yönelik çözümlemelerin yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. Roman, kurgu olarak ABD tarihinde önemli bir yere sahip olan ve Boston’da gerçekleşen bir soygun ve iki güvenlik görevlisinin cinayete uğramasıyla ilgili suçlu bulunan iki İtalyan göçmeni Nicola Sacco ve Bartolomeo Vanzetti’nin adil bir yargılama geçirmeden ölüm cezasına çarptırılma sürecini ele almaktadır. Bununla birlikte romanın esas olarak üzerinde durduğu konu göçmen ve anarşist olan bu iki İtalyanın kimliklerinden dolayı Amerikan toplumuna ve yerleşik düzene tehlike oluşturmalarıydı. Çalışmamızda yöntem olarak edebiyat/tarih kesişmesinin oluşturduğu zemin üzerinden hareket ederek “Öteki Amerika” olarak tanımlayabileceğimiz toplumsal yapı içinde yok sayılan, ötekileştirilen ve haksızlığa uğrayan kesimlerin yerleşik düzene karşı var olma ve kendilerini ifade edebilme mücadelesini ortaya koymaya çalışılacaktır. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızda, öncelikli olarak edebiyat ve tarih üzerine birkaç tartışma ele alınacak, ardından romanda ön plana çıkan kavramların siyasi ve kültürel boyutlarına yönelik nitel çözümlemeler ve çıkarımlar yapılacaktır. 1920’lerin karanlık atmosferi içinde ötekileşen kesimler olarak göçmenleri, işçileri, radikalleri, anarşistleri, sosyalistleri ve komünistler ile birlikte bu düşünceleri savunan insanları değerlendirmek mümkündür. Bunların karşısında ise yerleşikler olarak tanımlayabileceğimiz muhafazakâr kesimlerin ırkçı, önyargılı ve yabancı düşmanı tutumları ile birlikte “kızıl korku” atmosferi içinde kurulu düzeni korumak adına adalet sistemi ve akademinin uygulamalarını görmekteyiz. Böylece edebiyat ve tarihin kesiştiği noktadan hareket ederek bir taraftan yerleşikler ve göçmenler arasındaki karşıtlığı incelerken diğer taraftan müesses nizamın devlet aygıtlarını nasıl kullandığını görmüş olacağız. İlginç olan bir nokta ise gerek Howard Fast, gerekse Türkçeye de çevrilmiş olan romanıyla ilgili olarak ülkemizde neredeyse hiç bir akademik çalışmanın yapılmamış olmasıdır. Zaten çıkış noktalarımızdan bir tanesi de bu olmuştur zira böylesi üretken bir yazarın ve eserinin tanınması araştırmacıların ve öğrencilerin ilgisini çekebilir.

Esta investigación-acción presentó a un grupo de estudiantes de una escuela pública chilena, una secuencia didáctica enfocada en desarrollar la fluidez oral del inglés a través de la grabación de videos situacionales en los cuales los estudiantes pudiesen observarse a sí mismos hablando inglés y expresar sus percepciones sobre sus habilidades. Para esto los estudiantes respondieron una escala de percepciones sobre la fluidez oral del inglés al inicio de la secuencia didáctica, en la mitad y al final de esta, con el objetivo de explorar la trayectoria de las percepciones de los estudiantes. Mediante el uso de estadística descriptiva, este estudio demostró que la creación de videos tuvo un efecto positivo en los estudiantes, especialmente en el mejoramiento de sus actitudes hacia el idioma inglés.
Public managers’ valuation of secondary policy objectives in public procurement – results from a discrete choice experiment
Authors: Lerusse Amandine , Van de Walle Steven
Published: February 2021

Governments are increasingly linking public procurement contracts to the attainment of secondary policy objectives. While not challenging the continuing dominance of price, this changes how service providers are selected. This study examines how public managers value environmental, innovative, and social goals against price in the public procurement of waste collection at the municipal level in Belgium. Using a discrete choice experiment, we study public managers’ valuation of secondary policy objectives. Additionally, to extend the external validity of our findings to different administrative structures, the same study has been replicated in three other countries (Norway, Germany, and Estonia). Although price remains crucial, we observe that public managers appear to be willing to pay more to increase the environmental, innovative, and social standards of public services.

It then describes the EVAL-IC project, an example of a tool for the assessment of plurilingual competencies in intercomprehension, and shows the results of a preliminary analysis of some data from the EVAL-IC test. This proposal for plurilingual assessment represents an important step towards the integration of plurilingual education, inclusion and assessment.
Corpo, Cervello e Linguaggio: una prospettiva neuroscientifica
Authors: Gallese Vittorio
Published: February 2021

Throughout evolution, the human motor system has acquired progressively more complex properties concerning motor learning, the hierarchical control of serial behaviour and the fluidity of motor output, despite a slow transmission system connected to the body periphery. Since evolution tends to be conservative, it would not be surprising if many of these solutions had been exploited in another area, as the development of a very sophisticated communication system, such as language was at first. The implications of this hypothesis for a renewed neuro-scientific understanding of the human language will be discussed in this paper.

Come superare il Deficit comunicativo extra- e paralinguistico
Authors: Santipolo Matteo
Published: February 2021

This contribution deals with the necessity to include in the teaching syllabus aspects which are still generally little present or not present at all. The reference is to sociolinguistic and pragmatic norms (which in a broader interpretation may fall under the categories of extra- and paralinguistic competence) and behaviours, which most language teachers are hardly aware of or for which they have no proper teaching preparation. After an introduction that illustrates the negative communicative consequences of such a lack, and after analysing the main factors that lie at the onset of the so-called Extra- and Paralinguistic Communicative Deficit, that relates to the Sociocultural Distance between the learner’s L1 and the target language, a theoretical and methodological model is suggested on how to include such historically missing aspects.

Uno strumento per comprendere le difficoltà di apprendimento degli alunni stranieri
Authors: Graziano Elvira , Romito Luciano
Published: February 2021

The growing presence of students from migrant cultural backgrounds in Italian schools has changed classrooms, giving them a multicultural and intercultural aspect. This could mean a challenge for the concept of inclusion in educational contexts. This situation, very heterogeneous due to the various native places of foreign students, is often associated with the presence of learning difficulties. Recognising a possible learning disorder (Law no. 170/2010) in students from migrant cultural backgrounds is made more difficult by the lack of specific screening measures. This paper aims to present a preliminary report of a tool tested on a sample of Italian and foreign primary school children in order to evaluate their reading ability, regardless of the language they have as mother tongue. The tool is conceived as a preliminary screening in schools to understand if the difficulties of the students are related to the low L2 language proficiency or if they are the manifestation of other problems to be investigated through medical-diagnostic tests.
