Authors: Akram Muhammad , Mahmood Anser
Published: March 2021

A great deal of research is done on teacher training and teacher education worldwide, but a few studies appeared on teacher’s professional discerning and particularly on teachers’ critical thinking skills. Critical thinking, with regard to EFL teachers, has not been taken into consideration early on. This study explores the relationship between EFL teacher’s professional discerning and their critical thinking in Pakistani context. A quantitative paradigm has been adopted to find out if there is any relationship between EFL teachers’ professional discerning and their critical thinking. The participants consisted of 93 EFL teachers teaching English at the university level in Pakistan. The researcher utilized a professional discerning (identity) research tool taken from Sheybani and Miri (2019) and a derived Critical Thinking Inventory (DCT) designed by the researcher to collect data. To analyze the relationship between EFL teachers’s professional discerning and their critical thinking ability, the data were analyzed by R (statistical program). The results of correlation analysis unfolded that the sub-constructs of professional discerning questionnaire tools are predicted by critical thinking. A highly positive and statistically significant correlation was observed in the analysis. The study highlights the significance and important role of critical thinking in shaping EFL teachers’ professional discerning, particularly in their teaching context. The study proves the inventive conduct of EFL teachers in the present era of knowledge and learning. The study will positively contribute to language teaching and learning, and it would open up new vistas for EFL teachers, syllabus designers, and academia.

Authors: Alzieni Hussam
Published: March 2021

Mobile technologies are one of the fastest-growing technologies in education. They offer an appealing opportunity to access multiple sources of information anytime and anywhere. Students who join Dubai Men’s College in the Foundations program suffer from accumulative weakness in the language skills in general and in the listening skill in particular. The study aimed to confirm the positive impact of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) on English Listening Skills. It attempted to examine the effect of MALL on students’ acquisition of English language Listening Skill at Dubai Men’s College (DBM), the United Arab Emirates. The study also investigated teachers’ perspectives on the effect of MALL on the students’ listening skill. The research question was: To what extent students’ listening skills have in the experimental group developed through the use of MALL compared to the students in the control group? A mixed-method approach composed of qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis was used to answer this question. 66 students participated in a quasi-experiment of an experimental group, and a control group and 20 teachers participated. The findings indicated that there were statistically significant differences between both groups in favour of the experimental group. The research stressed the benefits of using MALL to improve the students’ listening skills, especially those who seem to be demotivated. Finally, some teachers showed a lot of support for the use of MALL. Additional empirical research should be conducted to increase the generalizability of the findings.
The Moroccan Bachelor New Reform: the Incorporation of Soft Skills through Project-Based Learning
Authors: Bakkali Abdelaaziz El
Published: March 2021

Recent debates about the bachelor in Morocco show that teaching learners to maintain positive attitudes and take over responsibilities for social and political processes is an essential educational asset of soft skills, mainly for schools that adopt project-based instructions. To engage students in this newest reform, significant preconditions of democratic school culture are set as effective outcomes to generate ethical behaviors. Today, social and political issues tend to provide meaningful opportunities to engage students in proper activities, specifically by using project-based learning. This paper aims at examining important venues that Moroccan school leaders, along with the bachelor outcomes, wish to implement to foster democratic participation within and outside school life by adopting project-based learning. It questions the challenges and perspectives of this implementation along with the progress of Moroccan educational institutions. Hence, the paper adheres to a meta-analysis technique, whereby a unique examination of the various already conducted studies came out with conclusions: perspectives and challenges. The typical meta-analysis method disengages readings of various scholarly academic sources related to school effectiveness concerning the implementation of project-based instruction, specifically after a long journey of debates about the bachelor. Because of its descriptive nature, this method allows the researcher to explore the wide-range of pitfalls that provide potential opportunities for alternative conclusions which are adopted in restructured and well-run approaches. The significant results and conclusions drawn from this paper are profoundly and qualitatively discussed and analyzed.
Language Policy and the Use of English as the Medium of Instruction in Pakistan
Authors: Mesti Saadia
Published: March 2021

Pakistan is linguistically a diverse country. The language policies of successive governments resemble a kind of educational apartheid, where local languages have continuously been neglected. The paper reviews the various language policies in Pakistan, and then, critically examines the existing language policy, and its implications on medium of instruction. The analysis suggests that linguistic cohesion with multi-linguistic policies are needed to adopt a multi-lingual approach in language planning policy in Pakistan. A more pluralist approach to language planning and policy (the mother tongue and regional language for local/regional communication, Urdu for national use, and English for national and international communication) may present a range of implementation challenges. The study is significant because it will shade light on the linguistic situation in Pakistan, and on the government language policy. It will also try to figure out how Pakistan can develop an ecologically valid model for bi/multiliteracy for such complex linguistic context.

Personality Traits as a Partial Explanation for Gender Wage Gaps and Glass Ceilings
Authors: Collischon Matthias
Published: March 2021

This paper investigates whether personality traits can explain glass ceilings (increasing gender wage gaps across the wage distribution). Using longitudinal survey data from Germany, I combine unconditional quantile regressions with wage gap decompositions to identify the effect of personality traits on gender gaps and investigate potential channels of the effect. The results suggest that the impact of personality traits on wage gaps increases across the wage distribution. Personality traits explain up to 14% of the overall gender wage gap at the top of the wage distribution and around 7-9% at the mean. The effect is mostly driven by direct wage effects (potentially through productivity or bargaining behavior) of certain traits that differ between men and women, while access to jobs and discrimination of women based on personality traits play a minor role.
Unlocking Technology for Language Learning: A Viability at the Time of Transition from Traditional to Online Teaching and Learning
Authors: Srivastava Reema
Published: March 2021

Online teaching and learning activities are no longer ‘a nice-to-have extracurricular facility’ but an answer to what, how, when people learn, and where they learn it from. Digitization of education helps us to find answers to how technology can enable teachers and students to access specialized materials outside the classroom, in various formats and ways that help to utilize both time and space. Educators all over the world are trying to overcome the limitations of being physically separated by moving onto online learning platforms. This paper attempts to find out the feasibility of using technology for teaching language to learners of English as a second language in the present-day context. The findings of this research are based on responses to a questionnaire answered by both the Language teachers and the Undergraduate students of Middle East College, Muscat and through literature review. Gen Z, the ‘digital natives’ do not want teachers to be replaced entirely by computers as they need motivation, inspiration, and emotional support. Virtual education is feasible, but its success depends upon the effective content generation, designing and planning for its delivery, and the effective use of teaching/learning tools that can supplement the efforts of the teachers. For online teaching and learning not only do the colleges and educational institutions need to be well-equipped, the learners also need to adapt to the changing scenario.

Authors: Malik Robin , Osre Anmol S Kalha , K. Chandna Anil , Puri Amrita , Chawla Riddhi
Published: March 2021

Introduction: To evaluate the surface changes on enamel structure after debonding of customized and conventional lingual brackets bonded using restorative dual cure bonding material and a chemically cured bonding material with and without sandblasting.

Materials and Method: The sample consisted of 40 premolar teeth extracted for the purpose of orthodontic treatment. Enamel surface changes, prior to bonding, were studied using a stereomicroscope (Olympus SZX7) and an optical microscope. 20 extracted premolars were arranged in 2 arch forms with 5 teeth in each quadrant, after which impression of the arches with rubber base impression material was made. These impressions were then sent to the laboratory for the fabrication of a customized lingual appliance. The remaining 20 premolars were divided into 2 arches, each arch having 10 extracted premolars divided into 4 sets, 1st to test customized brackets bonded with chemical cure resin without sandblasting, 2nd to test customized brackets with dual cure resin without sandblasting, 3rd to test conventional brackets with chemical sure resin with and without sandblasting and 4th to test conventional brackets bonded with dual cure resin with and without sandblasting. The post debonding photographs were analyzed using a standardized grid and Surface Roughness Index.

Result: Thus, enamel defects are likely to be caused post debonding despite of using any combination. However, the surface roughness index has been shown to be highest post debonding in cases where customized brackets have been bonded using dual cure resin along with sandblasting.

Conclusion: While a clinician may opt for a material like Rely X U200 to bond lingual appliances in order to have a better clinical management of the appliance, but he would have to keep the possibility of irreversible damage to enamel post debonding.

Published: March 2021

Referendum w Zjednoczonym Królestwie zorganizowane 23 czerwca 2016 roku, a następnie brexit formalnie przeprowadzony na początku 2020 roku i sfinalizowany po upłynięciu okresu przejściowego z początkiem 2021 roku wpływają znacząco na status granicy na wyspie Irlandia. Po opuszczeniu przez Zjednoczone Królestwo Unii Europejskiej granica oddzielająca Republikę Irlandii od Irlandii Północnej stała się także granicą Unii Europejskiej. Nawet jeśli z dnia na dzień  życie mieszkańców Irlandii korzystających z przejść granicznych nie zmieniło się diametralnie, to powolne, dalekosiężne zmiany zachodzą w samej świadomości Irlandczyków i Brytyjczyków, a także w uwarunkowaniach ekonomicznych i perspektywach społeczno-politycznych po obu stronach nowej/starej granicy. Spojrzenie na jej historię oraz kontekst kulturowy i geopolityczny, jaki proponuje niniejszy esej, opiera się na badaniach z obszaru border studies. Poszerzenie eseju o wybrane aspekty badań nad pamięcią kulturową pozwala na ukazanie interesów i aspiracji mieszkańców terenów przygranicznych, którzy oparcie znajdują we własnej tradycji kulturowej i dyskursach literackich. Celem tego artykułu jest ukazanie wielowymiarowości takiego pojęcia jak granica w okolicznościach zdefiniowanych przez wyniki brytyjskiego referendum z 2016 roku. Optyka i retoryka mocarstwowa, tak chętnie stosowania przez rządzących Zjednoczonym Królestwem konserwatystów, na czele z Borisem Johnsonem, nie uwzględnia wymiaru lokalnego, regionalnego i mniejszościowego. W przypadku najbardziej poszkodowanych mieszkańców Irlandii Północnej (obok Szkocji) status niepogodzonej z opuszczeniem Unii Europejskiej mniejszości paradoksalnie przysługuje 56% głosujących w referendum dorosłych obywateli tego regionu.

Model of Multi Product Classification with Regular Demand on Inventory System in a Raw Material Supply Company
Authors: Febrion Tri , Parung Joniarto
Published: March 2021

The right strategy in inventory is the main point in maintaining adequate and guaranteed supply continuity. Inventory strategies are becoming important but complex when the number of items that must be prepared is increasing. In this regard, it is necessary to analyze the product groupings in several classifications. Prioritized products receive special attention.The same problem is faced by PT PEKA, an import raw material distribution company that has nearly 2000 product items. Based on data demand is known, that the company's demand does not have a fixed pattern. Many products have regular and irregular demand, even the number of regular demand is very volatile. Companies often experience excess stock or vice versa due to lack of stock demand according to predictions, long lead times and product self-life that varies. Related to this, alternative product groupings or classifications are needed in accordance with company conditions. The company currently has frozen and unfrozen products, has items made from natural and non-natural raw materials and has a short and relatively long lead time.PT.
