Authors: İSPİR Bünyamin , YILDIZ Ali
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of writing for learning and model-based learning activities on academic achievement in the "Simple Electrical Circuits" unit of the fourth-grade science course and the views of students and classroom teachers about these activities. In the quantitative part of the research, which has quantitative and qualitative designs, quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group and in the qualitative part, student and teacher opinion forms consisting of open-ended questions were used. Three experimental and one control group were selected among the fourth graders according to the simple random sampling method. The achievement test related to the "Simple Electrical Circuits" unit was applied to these groups as a pre-test, post-test and permanence test. In the study, writing for learning purposes in a randomly selected group, model-based learning in the other, and both writing for learning and model-based learning activities were carried out together in the third group. In the control group, the lessons were carried out according to the current method. ANOVA was used in the analysis of quantitative data, and content analysis was used in the analysis of qualitative data. Findings related to the post-test of the experimental groups and the control group showed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group students who performed the model-based learning activities. According to the permanence test, there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental groups and the control group, but the mean of the experimental groups was higher than the mean of the control group. According to the data obtained from the interviews with students and teachers, it can be stated that students and teachers exhibited a positive approach towards writing for learning and model-based learning activities. In addition, the experimental group students stated that they did the activities with fun, while the teachers stated that they believed in the benefits of the activities used, but it was difficult to implement them in the current system. Based on these results, new research can be carried out at the third-grade level, in different lessons or in different units of the same lesson.
The Impact of Economic Indicators on Education Level of Women in Developing Countries
Authors: KANDEMİR Orhan
Published: October 2022

Purpose: In the context of developing countries, it is to test the effect of economic factors such as per capita income, poverty level and income distribution unfairness on the education level of women.
Methodology: In the study; cross-section analysis was performed by establishing a multiple regression model within the context of 82 developing countries included in the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) 2019 Human Development Report. While the dependent variable in the model is the proportion of women population aged 25 and over with at least secondary education (%), the independent variables are composed of economic variables such as the multidimensional poverty index, the inequality in income (%) and the gross national income per capita. The data are taken from UNDP's Human Development Report 2019.
Findings: As expected as a result of the cross-section analysis, it was determined that as the income distribution unfairness and poverty increased, the proportion of women population aged 25 and over with at least secondary education (%) decreased, but as the level of gross national income per capita raised, the proportion of women population aged 25 and over with at least secondary education (%) also increased.
Highlights: In developing countries, if the income distribution injustice and poverty are effectively tackled, gender inequality in education can be reduced more easily.

Published: October 2022

This research was designed to determine the views of preservice middle school mathematics teachers on what mathematical understanding is and how to achieve it, as well as the reflections of these views in their teaching practices. The participants included six preservice teachers studying in the final year of the Middle School Mathematics Teaching Program at a state university in Turkey. The research was carried out during the Teaching Practice course. The data consisted of the lesson plans prepared by the preservice teachers, video recordings of the lessons in which they put those plans into practice, field notes taken during lesson observations, and transcripts of one-on-one interviews with the preservice teachers after the lessons. Participants related mathematical understanding to interpreting situations or problems encountered in daily life mathematically, representing mathematical ideas, answering every question related to the subject, and developing a positive attitude toward mathematics. They began their lessons with daily life examples and then reminded the students of their prior knowledge, presented definitions of concepts, and worked with students on sample exercises using different representations during the lessons. These views and practices are discussed in the context of preservice teachers’ designs of learning environments that promote mathematical understanding.

Abstract. The purpose of this preliminary study was to identify oral problems and promote a healthy lifestyle at gimnazial school pupils, from a Romanian disadvantaged area. We wanted to identify the progress made by pupils following theoretical or practical interventions. Thus, along with the theoretical notions transmitted, either in the optional course of Health Education, to 6th grade pupils, or in Biology lessons, to 7th grade pupils, the new factor brought was the reinventing of the visit method, by extending the documentary feature, with that of practical applicability, extremely useful for participants coming from rural environment. Theoretical elements have been presented to all pupils. Additionally, at the 5 th grade pupils, we added a practical intervention, respectively a dental control made during a visit to the dentist. Both through theoretical and practical methods, pupils have made progress concerning intellectual and practical skills in oral hygiene, which are essential to a healthy and responsible behavior. The visit at the dentist’s office, the identification of the oral diseases, the recommendation and the treatment offered contributed decisively awareness of the importance of oral disease prevention, but also to identifying concrete solutions, connected to food, regular visits and corect brushing. Key words: education, oral health, disadvantaged area, visit, dentist

"Abstract: In the first study we examined whether knowledge, social norms, value orientations and emotional affect about climate change (climate change) predict climate change risk perception among Transylvanian students. In the second study we examined whether climate change risk perception, psychological adaptation, mitigation beliefs and behavioral intention predict, both directly and indirectly, pro-environmental behavior (PEB). We also examined whether knowledge, deep engagement and affective involvement influence PEB. In the first study N = 84 (age M = 19.43, SD = 1.03), while in the second study N = 72 (M = 19.79, SD = 1.47), and N = 31 (M = 19.61, SD = 1.17) individuals participated. The participants filled the scales online. Internal consistency of the scales was found to be good. During the intervention the research group received brief synopses on climate change in writing, through e-mail, for five days. The results show that biosphere values and demographics significantly predict climate change risk perception. The intervention significantly increased PEB in the research group and this effect persisted for over a month."

Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the views of ninth grade students about 5E-based STEM learning strategies in the atomic and periodic system unit. The research was carried out with phenomenology which is one of the qualitative research designs. Purposive sampling was used and eight students participated in the study. The data was collected through a semi-structured interview at the end of the intervention and analyzed by content analysis. Based on findings, students emphasized that 5E-based STEM learning strategies promote their meaningful learning. Although the participants mentioned that 5E-based STEM learning strategies had advantages in terms of meaningful learning, they thought that this strategy could not be implemented efficiently due to the difficulties they experienced during the 5E-based STEM learning strategies as the incompatibility with the university entrance examination system. It was recommended that student-centered teaching methods should be utilized and students should be active in their learning process in order to overcome these difficulties.

Abstract: The geometric habits of mind are a process that enables the adoption of ways of thinking about the problems encountered and that works for filling the gap between the results and the thoughts behind these results. It is also important that which cerebral hemisphere activates the geometric habits of mind, so geometric habits of mind and hemispheric dominance of mathematics teachers were investigated in that regard. It was observed that most of the mathematics teachers dominantly used their left brain and some of them who used their right brain dominantly or who used their right and left brain equally. It was concluded that the geometric habits of mind of both the teachers who dominated the left brain and the right brain and used both sides equally were at the desired level and mathematics teachers who have different hemispheric dominance were sufficient in terms of characteristics of geometric habits of mind.

"Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of activity-based mathematics teaching on the attitudes of elementary school 4th graders towards mathematics activities and their beliefs about mathematics. The research is designed according to the quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The study group consisted of a total of 50 fourth graders, of which 25 were experimental groups, and 25 control groups. The Attitude Scale for Mathematics Activities and the Belief Scale for mathematics were used as pre-test and post-test tools for data collection. Additionally, the students’ views on this application were taken at the end of the application. In the analysis of the obtained data the Mann-Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test were used. Content analysis has been used to evaluate student opinions of the application, and comments of the students were quoted directly. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that students’ attitudes towards mathematics activities and their beliefs about mathematics had a significant variation in favor of the experimental group while there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test average scores in favor of the final test while the experimental group’s attitudes towards mathematics activities and their beliefs about mathematics. At the end of the study, it is found that the students of the experimental group have a positive opinion on these activities and also that the activities that the students intend to develop on the subject are similar to the studies activities. It is suggested that teaching with activities in which students are active is used more often in classrooms because of the positive impact on students’ attitudes to mathematics activities and their beliefs about mathematics.

"Abstract: This work presents a discussion about the Didactic Training Engineering (EDF) methodology, of French origin, emphasizing the role of the teacher, during his initial or continuous training, through the conception and structuring of a didactic situation, organized by such methodology and based on the Theory of Didactic Situations (TSD). Therefore, the objective of this work is to present a didactic situation, based on the research methodology of (EDF) and focused on the analysis of the teacher's role, through the application of the dialectical phases (action, formulation, validation and institutionalization) provided by the TSD. The mathematical problem chosen to compose such a situation, through preliminary and a priori analyzes by EDF, will be focused on Flat Geometry directed to the Permanent Evaluation System of Basic Education in Ceará (SPAECE). SPAECE (Brazil) is a large-scale assessment, held annually in the state of Ceará, Brazil, involving all elementary and high school students in public schools. In addition, the use of the GeoGebra software as a technological resource for carrying out a didactic transposition of the content covered in the proposed didactic situation stands out. For a better conduct of this teaching and learning process, it is suggested the adoption of a didactic contract between the characters involved and the consideration of possible epistemological obstacles and obstacles that may arise during this process."

Authors: ARYABKINA Irina , MEDVEDEVA Irina
Published: October 2022

The subject of this article is the methodological features of the cultural studies’ approach as the foundation, the basis of modern teacher education. The article deals with various types of culture; the need for understanding at a new historical stage characterized by global environmental and social challenges, the role of the teacher as a carrier of Culture in the modern school, the application of various aspects of the cultural studies’ approach to building individual cultural trajectories of students in the process of modern teacher education is noted. Based on the consideration of the views of scientists from various scientific schools regarding possible solutions to the above very complex and urgent tasks, the significance of art and creative activity in the professional and pedagogical development of a modern teacher is revealed.
The result of the theoretical and empirical study of this issue by the authors of the article was the development and implementation on the basis of pedagogical universities of the Russian Federation of a parametric model of professional and pedagogical training of future teachers for the organization of culturally appropriate pedagogical interaction with schoolchildren.

Digital Transformation of Education and Humanization of Relationships in the Educational Environment: Some Aspects of Relationship and Mutual Influence
Authors: SILIUTINA Iryna , MARIEIEV Dmytro , MARIEIEVA Tetiana , HATSENKO Halyna , SMOLINA Olha
Published: October 2022

The modern educational space is permeated with elements of digitalization. Innovation has always been a challenge for the education system, a traditionally conservative cluster of socio-cultural activity. The peculiarity of the digital transformation of modern education is the totality of this process, covering educational and methodological, organizational, and scientific components. Under such conditions, the formation of contradictions in education between scientific and technological and humanities-science dimensions is obvious. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to identify current educational strategies with a clear prediction of trends in the relationship between digitalization and humanization. Two models for the further development of the educational space are proposed - confrontation and interaction at the level: of human-technology. In this context, it is methodologically acceptable to use two scientific-philosophical methodologies: dialectics and synergetic. Consequently, modern education is at a kind of bifurcation point since the coexistence of innovative technologies with traditional humanistic principles is no longer possible in the existing worldview paradigm. It is only a matter of time before a new system of the reciprocal influence of digital technologies on humanistic principles emerges.

Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the existential, gnoseological, and axiological dimensions of philosophy and education in the socio-cultural space. Cultural phenomena are positioned in several key manifestations: cognitive (as a result of sense experience), value (as a unique phenomenon), and being (as an element of civilization existence). The tasks of the article are to highlight the key philosophical and educational constants in modern humanitarian-scientific discourse. To achieve the objectives of scientific exploration was used general scientific (analysis, induction, deduction, systematization) and philosophical (synergetics, dialectics, phenomenology) methodologies, through which the essence of the phenomenon of philosophy and education in the system of culture are revealed, and the development of these areas of social activity is analyzed. The study was conducted based on an analysis of modern philosophical, educational and cultural ideas and theories. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the attempt to reconcile philosophical and educational theoretical-methodological and practically oriented precepts in a unified socio-cultural space. Consequently, the most effective format of coexistence of philosophy and education in the system of culture is considered to be a synergetic model, which provides interaction of these fundamental spheres of social activity.

Published: October 2022

In recent decades, the education system has been influenced by digital technologies, changing it. These changes had certainly been studied long before the pandemic, but the full transition to online learning occurred precisely in 2021 during the lockdown. The article analyzes and describes the trends in higher education that have tangibly and significantly affected its effectiveness under the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic. The tendencies that have been discussed and predicted by the scientific community require a deeper understanding from the standpoint of real pedagogical practice in order to resolve the consequences of the global educational crisis. The authors are convinced that education will not be the same as it was before the pandemic. We should evaluate the forms of online education and explore the motivation for learning since the education of the future depends on the search for new forms.
Progressive Education: Views from John Dewey’s Education Philosophy
Authors: DO Trang
Published: October 2022

The study aims to clarify some actual contents that we think should be noted in the study of Dewey’s educational philosophy. The study begins with Dewey’s criticism of traditional education, which served as the basis for his progressive educational views. The article then analyzes the learner-centric educational process and teacher’s qualities from a progressive viewpoint. Progressive education’s ultimate aim is to achieve democracy in education. That, in our opinion, is the prominent reason that the influence of Dewey’s educational philosophy continues to have a bearing on the education systems of the United States, many European countries, and Asia. The article concludes with John Dewey’s contributions to educational development to demonstrate that his progressive educational views still have directional value and provide meaningful guidance for educational innovation in many countries.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this research is to explain the meaning of Fatwa and Qada, how are the similarities and differences between fatwa and qada and their implementation in Indonesia, and to explain how the wisdom of fatwa and qada is. This research is qualitative, the type of research is library research and uses phenomenological and normative approaches. The results showed that; 1) The word fatwa comes from Arabic, which means the answer to what is the problem of syarak or legislation. The word Qada comes from Arabic, which means law and determination. It can be understood that the meaning of a fatwa in the term is the answer to the explanation of the mufti regarding religious questions or problems asked by someone or mustafti. The meaning of Qada in terms is a legal decision from qadi regarding cases or events based on arguments and evidence through mechanisms, the scope of qada is limited and is binding and obligatory. 2) The brief similarity of both of them is both legal products and determined based on the Quran and Hadith. First, the fundamental difference between the two is that fatwas are not binding while qada is binding/force. Second, that the scope of coverage of fatwas is wider than qada. Fatwa application in Indonesia is more dominant than qada. 3) The honesty of Fatwa and Qada can be seen from the existence of the arguments which make it conducive, it is the arguments that position the fatwa and Qada as two legal matters as part of Islamic law, especially Islamic justice.
O estado de exceção como norma e a vida banida do ordenamento jurídico
Authors: Rocha Dilson Brito da
Published: October 2022

Neste ensaio temos o objetivo de examinar o modus operandi com o qual Giorgio Agamben (1942) enfrenta matérias atinentes ao estado de exceção. Em sua empresa intelectual, esta noção está imbricada com a ideia de biopolítica, o que as torna indissociáveis. Ocorre que, ao mesmo tempo em que o filósofo procura desenvolver pontos que giram em torno da biopolítica, cientifica-se de que a vida se tornou uma questão política, isto é, que a biologia se converteu em uma técnica de governo, com o problema estreitamente político da soberania. Ele considera que há um paradigma quanto ao estado de exceção, que diz respeito ao nomos. Em síntese, conforme Agamben, a biopolítica, com uma gama de dispositivos governamentais, condena a população a viver em estado perene de emergência e pânico, reduzida àquilo que ele alcunha de nuda vita.
Palavras-chave: Biopolítica. Estado de exceção. Soberania. Nuda vita.

Plan of Kalisz by Andrzej Politalski from 1785 – a source edition in the Polish Historic Towns Atlas
Authors: Panecki Tomasz
Published: October 2022

The plan of Kalisz by Andrzej Politalski is the oldest geometrically accurate depiction of the town. Compiled in 1785, it has survived to this day in a redrawing by Ottomar Wolle in 1878 at the scale of 1:3,000. The author discusses the process of developing the edition of Politalski’s plan for the “Kalisz” volume of the Historic Towns Atlas (HTA) and compares it with editions in other volumes. The most recent (2021) volumes developed in three different centres were chosen as comparative material: Biecz volume (Kraków); Fordon, 2nd edition (Toruń); and Racibórz (Wrocław). Each volume adopts different editorial rules, although, in general, they conform to the overarching principles of redrawing a map at the scale of 1:2,500. The differences touch on virtually all aspects (source material, scope of content, non-cartographic elements), but they are united by the aforementioned common scale and purpose. Developing the edition of Politalski’s plan was preceded by genetic analysis and the identification of filiation of its remaining copies. The original (1785) has not survived, nor has the first redrawing (1800). We only have a redrawing by Wolle (1878), which was the basis for the development of the plan for the HTA. In addition to this, we also have several other less significant versions. Politalski’s plan was georeferenced, its content was vectorised, and cartographical representation was created. The result has been put together with selected editions elaborated to date. A distinctive feature of the work on the “Kalisz” volume is the use of a redrawing of the original as a source plan, as it is – in fact – its historical edition. The author also draws attention to the issues of standardisation of data models and, consequently, of legends between particular volumes.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this research was to apply creative thinking to understand the role of procurement as a competitive advantage in the context of the circular economy. We expected to discover a number of broad competitive advantage elements arising from procurement actions in the context of the circular economy transition. Businesses should adjust their strategic emphasis and begin to introduce environmentally friendly goods into their product lines, according to the conclusions of our creative thinking approach employing the six thinking hats. Furthermore, when we transition to circular economy concepts, quality control procedures and manufacturing standards should be prioritized. Companies should collaborate with strategic suppliers to acquire old items from other industries that would otherwise be considered waste, as long as they can provide the necessary value.

The use of geomembrane plastic in salt production has been effectively used since 2012. Geomembrane plastic can increase the growth of salt production by almost 100%. Geomembrane plastic is a relatively thin, interconnected polymer sheet. Geomembrane plastic is used repeatedly for approximately two years and is exposed to sunlight. This research was conducted to determine the traces of geomembrane polymer components in salt dried in the sun using a geomembrane plastic drying mat. UV-Visible was used to detect the presence of traces of polymer components and determine the functional groups of polymer components using FTIR spectroscopy. The results of the UV-Visible identification of salt water and polluted distilled water showed the presence of two migrating chemical elements and the FTIR identification of the samples showed absorption peaks at 3874-3209 cm?¹ O-H, 3059-2782 cm?¹ C-H, 1709-1509 cm?¹ C=C, 1378 cm?¹ CH and 1224-1068 cm?¹ C-C. The geomembrane plastic molecules that are thought to migrate to the salt are the HDPE copolymer and the antioxidant additive Irganox 1330.

Wine is a drink made through the fermentation process of sugar in grapes which is then converted into alcohol. Apart from grapes there is another alternative for wine making, namely sorghum seeds. The starch content in sorghum seeds can be used in wine making. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of fermentation time on alcohol content and level of preference for sorghum wine. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Biological Education, Artha Wacana Christian University, Kupang, using the RAL experimental method with 4 treatments and 4 repetitions. Wine is made by mixing sorghum seed extract with yeast. The treatment of fermentation time in this study was P1 (7 days), P2 (14 days), P3 (21 days) and P0 / control (5 days). The resulting wine will be tested for alcohol content using an alcohol meter and an organoleptic test to determine the panelists' preference for sorghum wine. Data analysis using ANOVA and further Duncan / DMRT test. The results showed that the highest alcohol content was in the P3 treatment with an average of 8.75%. Overall, the parameters of taste, aroma and color have a significant effect. The data showed that the average panelists preferred the P3 treatment of taste (3,41), aroma (3,55), and color (3,38). Thus sorghum seeds can be an alternative ingredient in sorghum wine making.

The Graduate Student Conference held at York University’s Graduate Faculty of Education in April of 2022 afforded all four authors occasion to share the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on our doctoral research. Each of our projects involved face-to-face research and required significant methodological adjustments and changes to research design in order to continue amidst a worldwide pandemic. Through the application of social adaptation theory and the practice of auto-ethnography, our discussion panel examined the significance of requisite reconfiguring of our projects on our research relationships. This paper offers post-panel reflective thoughts on how the discussion that took place during the panel has inspired further thinking about our research with drama students, international students, Rohingya refugee families, and refugee children, as well as our development as researchers.
Reimagining home-based learning through comparisons of alternative schooling methods
Authors: Minhorst Melody
Published: October 2022

Moving forward into a post-pandemic world, we can reimagine institutional education systems by reflecting on the lived experiences of emergency home-based learning and exploring the alternative narratives of traditional homeschooling. Having worked in the educational sector of Ontario during the pandemic, I observed families transitioning their homes into blended learning spaces for emergency home-based learning and the challenges that came with this change. Parents found themselves trying to explain teaching materials with no previous training while teachers tried to enforce traditional classroom expectations in households where many children had no remote learning structures in place (Fontenelle-Tereshchuk, 2020; Orelien-Hernandez et al., 2021). In contrast, the growing homeschooling alternative, a blend of home and educational space, had established relational systems to support this kind of community-based pedagogy. This alleviated many of the challenges of multimodal learning and had shown promise in increasing student academic scores, creating alternatives to socioeconomic barriers found in institutional education, and fostering racial protectionism (Mazama & Lundy, 2012; Statistics Canada, 2021a; Van Pelt, 2015).  My paper introduces the preliminary questions and discussion of my proposed study for my master’s thesis using place-based pedagogy (Corbett, 2009; Ellsworth, 2005; Gruenewald, 2003; Illich, 1971) to open a conversation around homeschooling as a resource for post-pandemic pedagogical design and development.
