Teacher Strategies for Providing Access to Learning for Students with Special Needs in Elementary Schools
Authors: Hermanto Hermanto , Pamungkas Bayu
Published: May 2023

The presence of children with special needs in society automatically requires service education that suits their needs so that they can develop their full potential. The teacher plays an important role in the learning component, as the teacher’s role is not only limited to teaching. The teacher is also a guide, developer, and manager of the learning activities and can thus facilitate student learning activities for the purpose of achieving the goals set. The purpose of this study was to investigate teacher strategies used as part of providing access to learning for students with special needs in 25 elementary schools that provide inclusive education in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Qualitative research methods were used in this study, including observations, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The informants in this study were 100 elementary school teachers providing inclusive education selected using purposive random sampling. The collected data were analyzed through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study show that there are various teacher strategies for providing access for students with special needs in inclusive elementary schools, including providing physical and non-physical access to learning based on the special needs of the students. Training in the context of increasing teacher competence and increasing the role of the parents means that experts from various related disciplines are expected to be able to support the implementation of inclusive education.

The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the psychosomatic symptoms associated with stress in Primary and Secondary Education teachers after returning to face-to-face classes. For that purpose, a quantitative approach was used; the design was non-experimental, and the type of research was cross-sectional descriptive. The sample consisted of 301 teachers who responded to the Psychosomatic Problems Questionnaire, an instrument with adequate levels of content validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed at both descriptive and inferential levels. The descriptive analysis was accomplished using the distribution of percentages. Inference analysis was developed using the Student's t-test, which made it possible to determine whether there were statistically significant differences in terms of the presence of psychosomatic symptoms associated with stress according to the sociodemographic variables. The results revealed that 45.2% of the teachers displayed psychosomatic symptoms associated with stress at a moderate level; 33.9% were at a low level; and 20.9% were at a high level. The most frequently reported symptoms were extreme tiredness, headaches, and a feeling of not wanting to get up in the morning. At the same time, it was determined that there were statistically significant differences regarding the presence of psychosomatic symptoms associated with stress related to the gender and employment status of the teachers. It was concluded that the teachers rated the psychosomatic symptoms associated with stress at a moderate level. The present investigation represents a contribution to the psychological health and emotional well-being of teachers, since it allows for the determination of psychosomatic symptoms associated with stress. Therefore, it is important that the relevant educational authorities provide services and strategies for the care, prevention, protection, approach and recovery of the mental health of teachers.

Published: May 2023

During the COVID-19 outbreak, online mode of education, schooling from home and the absence of any fully operational educational facilities became the new norm of the education sector, mainly when the pandemic reached its peak. The transition to online teaching for the K-12 teachers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was made seamless. The Ministry of Education (MoE) extended its full support to schools, nationwide. For the transition to be sustainably effective, there was the need to examine the professional development needs of the K-12 teachers and the possible challenges that they may confront. This study, therefore, explored the challenges of adopting online education and professional development (PD) needs of K-12 teachers in the UAE. The study employed a descriptive research design using a well-developed and validated survey to collect quantitative and qualitative data involving 1,110 teachers and focusing on their shared and subjective views. Data analyses were done using a variety of descriptive statistics for the closed-ended questions and thematic coding of the open-ended questions. The results reveal significant differences between the surveyed teachers’ as they recognized their needs, the application of emerging trends in online education, and perceived challenges due to the teacher’s grade levels (educational level). The study suggests the need to customize professional development training for K-12 teachers based on their grade levels, exposing them to cutting-edge technologies and other mentoring schemes, as a method of preparing them to combat the challenges.
‘Me, in my class’: Teacher candidates (self-)portraits of their presence in the classroom
Authors: Strumska-Cylwik Longina , Gazaille Mariane
Published: May 2023

Drawing on the international research program ‘Teacher presence. A Multicultural Comparison’, this paper tackles the issue of Polish teacher candidates’ representations of teacher presence in the classroom. The basis for the current study consists of drawings made by the participants in response to the task ‘Me, in my class’ and its accompanying question: What does this drawing tell me about you as an early childhood education teacher? Drawings done by the participants show not only the way in which the respondents perceive themselves and their roles as teachers but also the way in which they conceive the relationship with students in the classroom. The analysis of the collected material indicates strong institutional features embedded in the physical space of the school, where both the teacher and the students appear as typical products of the institution and where the relationship of power and subordination is still maintained. The classroom as an organized, didactic space and teacher-students relationships emerge as the two main components defi ning future teachers’ representation of teacher presence in the classroom.

O zjadaniu Innych
Authors: Szerszeń Tomasz
Published: May 2023

Anthropophagy returns in the works of the inter-war avant-gardes as an important and overdetermined metaphor which describes, e.g., the attitudes to tradition and otherness. The appropriation and devouring of the Other becomes not only a description of certain artistic and ethnographic practices, but perhaps also or even in the first place a hidden paradigm of our culture. The frame within which anthropophagic metaphors appeared at that time was the critique of capitalism and colonialism. The author considers that anthropophagic phantasy and its various – anthropological, literary, and political – contexts. His object of interest is the journal Documents (particularly photos by Jacques-Andre Boiffard and a text by Georges Bataille), Roger Caillois’s essay on the praying mantis, the key text of the Brazilian avant-garde, Anthropophagic Manifesto by Oswald de Andrade, and “The Street of Crocodiles” by Bruno Schulz.
Oddanie czci kurzowi. W. G. Sebald i czytanie w tropach
Authors: Pic Muriel
Published: May 2023

Few writers paid as much attention to dust as W. G. Sebald. The author of Austerlitz saw in it „the lowest sign of annihilation” and a “boundary between being and nothingness,” an elegiac way of making the dead present in the text. For Sebald, all the ways of reading the past were “reading (in) dust,” making this particular way close to prophesying. The author of the essay follows Sebald’s opinion, tracing various forms and manifestations of the “prophetic epistemological paradigm.” Reading the irregular, reading „what has never been written,” has also its political aspect of (re)thinking the past from the remains of destruction. This is how dust becomes critical and subversive matter.
Sygnatury tekstowe. Wokół niemieckojęzycznych opowiadań Brunona Schulza
Authors: Skrzypczyk Aleksandra
Published: May 2023

The author of the article searches for an answer to the question whether the stories might have been written by Bruno Schulz from Drogobych, the one who wrote The Cinnamon Shops. Given that the query has not yet been concluded beyond doubt, she tries to find alternative methods of analyzing these texts. She assumes that young Schulz’s style pattern should not be established by analyzing only his mature texts. Schulz wrote many short stories that could not be found, therefore, the question of his literary identity is still relevant. An account of his literary style can be found in the analysis carried out in the 1970s by Piotr Wróblewski. It allows for finding the most common features that distinguish Schulz from other writers. The distinction is crucial for either confirmation or rejection of authorship. The author conducts an experiment to evaluate the stylistic features in German stories and the result is surprising. In reference to The Cinnamon Shops as well as Schulz’s other well-known other works and his early story “Undula,” his authorship proves certain. However, in the German stories examination yields slightly more than half of the positive responses. The author assumes that in each text there are traces of someone’s individual, unique style, calling them metaphorically “text signatures,” the “fingerprints” of the text. In her research, she also uses methods such as forensic linguistics and stylometry. The author deals with the stereotype of Schulz’s literary debut facilitated by the support of Zofia Nałkowska. In the article, she tries to reconstruct Schulz’s first literary steps and wonders what he might have written between the publication of ”Undula” and “The Birds” (and later The Cinnamon Shops), and whether he included his first literary samples in letters to his friends or during the Kalleia’s meetings in Drogobych. The author lists his lost works and ends the article with the question of Schulz’s identity.

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality in India. The Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) is a robust public health system to deal with Tuberculosis (TB) in India. Unless the treated patient comes back to the system with signs and symptoms of TB due to relapse or reinfection, there is no mechanism of follow-up or any method to know the relapse rate in the population. This study aimed to analysed trends in relapse tuberculosis cases and describe their associations with socio-demographic and clinical factors.Subjects dan Method: In this prospective cohort study, 750 selected sample size who were declared “Cured” in four randomly selected TB units of Gwalior district were followed up for 1–5 years through home visits by trained staff with structured data collection forms. Data Collection was done between January 2022 to June 2022 and afterwards analyzed using Microsoft excel spreadsheet.Results: The mean age of the index cases was Mean= 30.53; SD= 14.24 years, and there were 39 females and 64 males. At early stage (1-to-2-year posttreatment follow-up of 248 index cases) 199 (80.2%) were healthy and working without any symptoms of TB. Symptoms of TB were present in 49 (19.8%) cases. The after 2-year posttreatment TB Symptoms were present in 54 (19.3%) cases.Conclusion: Long-term follow-up of cured, new smear-positive TB cases reinforce the effectiveness of anti-TB treatment under the RNTCP as assessed by improved health outcomes in more than two-thirds of cases and posttreatment survival of 80.72% of index cases. Further investigation needed to continue such follow-up for all TB cases treated under the RNTCP for effective end-TB strategy.

Authors: Rasheed Tajudeen Olusegun , Afolabi Wasiu Adebowale , Bilawu Yisa Abiodun , Zubairu Kabiru
Published: May 2023

Background: Nurses are at increased risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to response of the body and mind to a threatening working environment as they care for COVID-19 patients in isolation centres. This study determined the prevalence of PTSD and examined the associated factors among nurses working in COVID-19 isolation centres.Subjects dan Method: The study was a cross-sectional design. Purposive method was used to select two isolation centres, while 75 nurses who participated in the study were selected using total enumeration sampling technique. A structured questionnaire with validity and reliability established was used to collect data which were screened, collated and analyzed with SPSS 27. The Fisher’s Exact Test and Multivariate logistic regressions were the inferential statistics used to test the level of significant at p<0.050 and 95% confidence interval. The dependent variable of this study is posttraumatic stress disorder while the independent variables included socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, psychological and working conditions factors.Results: The mean age of the participants was (Mean=37.60; SD=10.20). Percentage of nurses having mild to severe PTSD was 27.8%. Duration stayed in COVID-19 isolation centres by nurses was significantly associated with the PTSD (p=0.003). The age, gender, marital status, and education level of the nurses were not statistically significant associated with the PTSD (p>0.05). Nurses who felt their life was under threat by working in COVID-19 isolation centres were 4.2 times more likely to develop PTSD compared to nurses who did not (OR=4.22, 95% CI=3.57 to 12.60, p=0.001).Conclusion: Nurses suffered PTSD due to psychological and physical exhaustion during the care of COVID-19 patients in isolation centres. Support program is recommended for the affected nurses to improve their quality of life.

Unterdrückung durch Beglückung. Eine liberale Revision der politischen Philosophie
Authors: Steinvorth Ulrich
Published: May 2023

Was ist eine Demokratie, und wann ist sie liberal? Ist Politik legitim, wenn sie der Volkssouveränität oder wenn sie den Menschenrechten entspricht? Was kann und was sollte man von der Politik erwarten, was ist überhaupt Politik? Ulrich Steinvorth sucht in diesem Buch neue Antworten auf diese in der gegenwärtigen politischen Lage brandaktuellen Fragen. Ausgehend von Aldous Huxleys Fabel »Brave New World«, die eine Gesellschaft beschreibt, in der eine Minderheit mit technischen Mitteln die Mehrheit so manipuliert, dass sie ihre Unterdrückung als Beglückung empfindet und selbst Menschenrechtsverletzungen hinnimmt, wirft Steinvorth die oft gestellte Grundsatzfrage auf, was überhaupt Politik oder das Politische ist. Er unterscheidet das (am Gesellschaftsvertrag und an Nutzenmaximierung orientierte) ökonomische vom (nicht an Nutzenmaximierung orientierten) politischen Modell als den beiden wichtigsten Theorieansätzen in der politischen Theorie und kritisiert das ökonomische Modell in seiner vermutlich stärksten Form, nämlich in der, die John Rawls ihm gegeben hat. Rawls verlangt von der Politik den Schutz der Selbstachtung aller, den nur eigengesetzliche Subgesellschaften geben können, wie Locke den Schutz der eigengesetzlichen Familie und Wirtschaft. Den Schutz eigengesetzlicher Gesellschaftssphären finden wir als Ziel der Politik auch bei Hegel und, in ausbaufähiger und auf gegebene politische Aufgaben anwendbarer Form, bei Max Weber. Dessen Wertsphären macht Steinvorths Buch, mit Anleihen bei so verschiedenen Autoren wie Aristoteles und Csikszentmihalyi, zur Grundlage seiner politischen Theorie.
Actitudes, motivación y estrategias de aprendizaje en estudiantes de terceras lenguas. Attitudes, motivation and learning strategies in students of third languages
Authors: Briones-Jurado Lilia E.
Published: May 2023

El presente estudio se centró en la motivación, las actitudes y uso de estrategias de aprendizaje por parte de estudiantes de niveles A1 y B1 de alemán, francés, italiano, japonés y portugués como terceras lenguas, con conocimiento de español como primera lengua e inglés como segunda lengua. En el Centro de Enseñanza de Lenguas Extranjeras Unidad Santo Tomás (CENLEX-UST) del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) 183 estudiantes contestaron un cuestionario basado en los instrumentos MAALE (Minera, 2010) y SILL (Oxford, 1989). Los resultados indican que los estudiantes cuentan con un alto grado de motivación, especialmente intrínseca, y una muy buena actitud hacia sí mismos como aprendientes y hacia las lenguas extranjeras, independientemente de su nivel de competencia. También se encontró un alto uso de estrategias de aprendizaje cognitivas, metacognitivas, afectivas y sociales, y un uso medio de las estrategias de memorización y compensatorias. Los resultados muestran que el uso de estrategias está motivado por las características de la lengua meta, las experiencias previas de aprendizaje de lenguas y el nivel de competencia de los alumnos. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para considerar las necesidades de enseñanza específicas de los estudiantes de terceras lenguas con miras a desarrollar habilidades plurilingües a largo plazo.
Films et séries, des outils à valoriser dans le processus enseignement apprentissage en classe de FLE
Authors: Marochian Marika I.
Published: May 2023

Une tendance internationale, relativement récente dans les nouvelles pratiques culturelles massives, est la prédominance et la démocratisation des plateformes de streaming audiovisuelles ou de vidéos à la demande. Par conséquent, un des défis actuels de l’enseignement est de nous rapprocher de ces nouveaux outils et contenus. Les séries ou les films sont des ressources pédagogiques actuelles accessibles à toutes et tous, de plus, elles peuvent s'intégrer facilement en classe de langue et donc également en classe de français langue étrangère (FLE). Sur n’importe quelle plateforme est disponible une grande variété de séries, de cinéma de fiction ou non-fiction francophones, en langue originale. Par conséquent, ces produits culturels audiovisuels deviennent des ressources pédagogiques attractives aux yeux des apprenant.e.s, qui nous permettent de leur présenter un document authentique en immersion culturelle et linguistique, en plus de sortir de l'apprentissage traditionnel mais aussi de développer des compétences culturelles et interculturelles. Par ailleurs, il paraît intéressant de proposer un apprentissage en relation directe avec la vie sociale et les loisirs. Ainsi, l’introduction et l’exploitation de ce type de contenus sert à augmenter la motivation intrinsèque et l’intérêt de la part des apprenant.e.s pour la langue. Le fait de s’appuyer sur du matériel proche de nos publics produit plus de liens avec elles/eux, et ces types de supports ancrent leur apprentissage dans la réalité quotidienne et impulsent également leur apprentissage autonome de la langue.
Language teachers’ knowledge and perceptions of the implementation of CLT in a Mexican language centre
Authors: Hernández Alvarado Martha Guadalupe , Bórquez Morales Lilia Sulema
Published: May 2023

This study explores the knowledge and perceptions that language teachers hold of the implementation of the communicative language teaching approach in their teaching context, a language centre of a public university in central Mexico. To collect data, a questionnaire was disseminated among teachers of different languages including Spanish, Nahuatl, Italian, German, French, and English. Data on teachers’ knowledge of the approach were included to discuss the reported use of CLT in their teaching activities. Then, inferences were made based on the contextual elements surrounding each language. The findings in this study provide evidence that there may be specific factors in each language that may foster or hinder the implementation of CLT principles.
Venturioscypha nigropila (Hyphodiscaceae, Helotiales) – a new genus and species from xeric Pinus bark
Authors: Baral Hans-Otto , Kosonen Timo , Polhorský Adam , Stöckli Elisabeth , Huhtinen Seppo , Hansen Karen
Published: May 2023

A new genus and species, Venturioscypha nigropila, is proposed for a minute inoperculate discomycete with long, cylindrical, partly flexuous, dark blackish-brown, smooth, finally thick-walled hairs. It has been collected repeatedly in Europe on dead, corticated branches of Pinus spp. attached to living or recently dead trees. At first glance the species resembles members of Pirottaea (Pyrenopezizaceae), but the relationship is shown by molecular phylogenetics to be close to Hyphodiscus, Hyphopeziza, Fuscolachnum, and Venturiocistella (Hyphodiscaceae). These genera differ in having hairs with more or less conspicuous warts, in Hyphopeziza also with glassy solidifications, and Venturiocistella in having in addition long, stiff, thick-walled, apically acute, dark brown hairs, which are warted in their lower part. The hair wall of Venturioscypha appears superficially smooth, but the surface is inconspicuously pitted as viewed under light microscopy. Venturioscypha is unique in Hyphodiscaceae by its peculiar hairs, inamyloid asci with a thin apical wall that ruptures irregularly by a terminal split at spore discharge, spores with a delicate sheath, and apothecial proliferation.

El cultivo de aguacate se ha visto afectado por diversas plagas y enfermedades lo que ha limitado su comercialización. A causa de ello se ha generado el uso indiscriminado de productos químicos por parte de los productores, lo que ha provocado gran contaminación ambiental, aumento en los costos de producción y la presencia de residuos de pesticidas en los frutos. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue desarrollar una aplicación móvil para determinar la distribución espacial de problemas fitosanitarios en el cultivo de aguacate. El desarrollo de la aplicación se realizó en 2020 y se basó en la metodología Rational Unified Process. Se incorporaron fórmulas y modelos matemáticos para obtener y ajustar el semivariograma. También se anexo la fórmula del método de krigeado ordinario, con la finalidad de obtener mapas de densidad de las poblaciones de problemas fitosanitarios del cultivo de aguacate. La aplicación App Ahuacatl se puede instalar en celulares móviles o tabletas con el sistema operativo Android como ios. El usuario puede obtener su ubicación geográfica sin la necesidad de estar conectado a una red de internet o los datos móviles del celular.

Los sistemas agroforestales y la diversificación productiva son alternativas sostenibles que revierten los daños y riesgos de la agricultura convencional. Existen pocos estudios de sostenibilidad que permitan incorporarlos a proyectos destinados a aumentar la rentabilidad y mejorar el bienestar de los productores, restaurando los servicios ecosistémicos. El objetivo fue evaluar la sustentabilidad de dos sistemas agroforestales tradicionales, diversificados con cacao y vainilla, en los estados de Veracruz y Oaxaca. Se promovieron técnicas agroecológicas y estrategias de desarrollo empresarial con las familias de ambos productores. La investigación se llevó a cabo durante el periodo: febrero 2012 a julio 2020, las parcelas están ubicadas en los municipios de San Pedro Ixcatlán, Oaxaca y Papantla, Veracruz. Se utilizó la metodología del marco de evaluación de sistemas de gestión de recursos naturales. Los resultados mostraron que los estados iniciales tenían un manejo poco intensivo, bajo uso de insumos, alta diversificación y orientado a la agricultura de subsistencia. Tras la diversificación, manejo agroecológico y desarrollo empresarial, los estados de transición han mejorado en la mayoría de los indicadores de sostenibilidad. En particular la rentabilidad (índice beneficio-costo), que alcanzó 1.2 para San Pedro y 2.6 para Papantla cuando se da valor agregado a la vainilla y el cacao. Es relevante la participación de las mujeres en actividades emergentes derivadas de la diversificación y el interés de los jóvenes por continuar con actividades de transformación de materias primas y la comercialización de productos de valor agregado.

Objetivou apresentar os procedimentos pedagógicos para o ensino dos esportes com raquetes pautando-se na família de jogos esportivos. Os resultados indicam que embora os jogos esportivos com raquetes apresentem características específicas e autoafirmativas que os constituem como únicos, elementos estruturais (regras, implemento, jogadores e alvo), elementos funcionais operacionais de ataque (lançar a bola/implemento para o espaço adversário com o objetivo de marcar pontos) e de defesa (controlar a bola devolvendo para o espaço adversário) e regras de ação de ataque (tentar marcar o ponto, tentar lançar a bola com maior nível de dificuldade e controlar a bola para devolver ao campo adversário) e defesa (antecipar a trajetória do ataque, persuadir o erro do adversário, impedir o ponto) são similares em todos, os integrando a família de jogos esportivos com raquetes. Foi possível explorar diferentes manifestações de jogos esportivos com raquetes, ampliando as possibilidades desta manifestação esportiva.

Os esportes de precisão abrangem um conjunto de modalidades esportivas cujo objetivo é acertar e/ou aproximar de um alvo específico, através do ato de arremessar\lançar um objeto. As situações de jogos imbricadas nessas práticas, remontam diversas brincadeiras presentes no cotidiano da criança, porém sua tematização ainda enfrenta alguns desafios para inserção no contexto das aulas de Educação Física. Logo, pensando na importância do desenvolvimento e vivência dessa prática corporal, de maneira a permitir a experimentação, fruição, uso e apropriação desses esportes por meio das aulas de Educação Física, este capítulo visa discutir e apresentar uma possibilidade de organização, sistematização e aplicação dos esportes de precisão a partir do princípio organizador da família de jogos. Para isso, organizamos a discussão em três momentos. Inicialmente conceituaremos o que compreendemos enquanto família de jogos. Seguindo, apontamos para as características da família dos jogos de precisão e, por fim, apresentamos uma possibilidade de tematização deste objeto de conhecimento nas aulas de Educação Física.

The role of reflection in enhancing teacher professional development and its impact on the quality of education is widely recognized. By reflecting on their teaching practices, teachers can make more informed decisions when planning, implementing, and evaluating their teaching activities. This study aims to identify the inhibitory factors that prevent EFL teachers from engaging in reflective teaching practices. The study utilized the Inhibitors to EFL Teachers' Reflective Teaching Questionnaire (IETRTQ) to gather data from 97 English teachers in junior high schools in East Manggarai regency, East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using SPSS software to assess the level of agreement among participants regarding the inhibiting elements of reflective teaching practices in their teaching activities. The findings suggest that the teachers had a moderate awareness of the inhibitory factors that hinder their reflective teaching practices, with 69 teachers (71.13%) acknowledging these barriers. The implications of these findings are discussed, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to help teachers overcome these inhibitory factors and enhance their professional development.Bagian Atas Formulir
Classroom-Based Assessment Practices during the COVID-19 Outbreak in Indonesia: EFL Students’ Perceptions and Challenges
Authors: Laily Farida Nur , Suparno Suparno , Ngadiso Ngadiso
Published: May 2023

The perceptions of Indonesian EFL students on classroom-based assessment practices during the COVID-19 outbreak and the challenges they faced have received little attention. This phenomenon is the basis for why this research was conducted. To collect the data, questionnaires and interviews were applied to 20 senior high school students from grades eleventh and twelfth in Indonesia. Using a mixed-method design, this study declared that most students preferred classroom-based assessment during the COVID-19 outbreak, which was conducted online rather than traditional assessment before the outbreak. Classroom-based assessment practices during COVID-19 are considered more convenient and flexible, feel relaxed and less anxious, and improve their self-regulated learning. Moreover, Indonesian EFL students also revealed the challenges they faced in completing the assessment, such as internet network problems when the weather was terrible, the data package they used during the learning and assessment process being extravagant, and the lack of physical interaction with teachers and classmates. Further discussion about classroom-based assessment practices during the COVID-19 outbreak is necessary for more effective implementation and to positively affect EFL students and teachers.
