Authors:   Korean Society for Educational Evaluation, Park Hee Joo , Ryoo Ji Hoon
Published: July 2023

Exploring a growth model in a longitudinal study is as important as verifying the effectiveness of variables related to growth. In this study, in identifying the growth model, the analysis was conducted using the generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) and the piecewise growth model (PGM) in longitudinal study. For empirical data, GAMM and PGM were used for identifying changes in students' academic achievement in mathematics through the Korean Education Longitudinal Study (KELS-2013) data. As a result, the exponent of the growth model function optimized in GAMM was calculated as 2.98, confirming that the growth model was most suitable for a cubic function. In addition, as a result of verifying the random effect by applying GAMM, a growth of 198.73 points was confirmed in the first year, the starting point of the survey, and it was confirmed that female students showed 2.97 points higher growth than male students in terms of growth in students' math achievement. On the other hand, as a result of applying PGM, the turning point appeared at 2.54, and it was confirmed that the greatest change was shown at the time of school grade change from elementary school to middle school. Such results as in this study show different approaches through GAMM and PGM to explore data-based growth models, and these results can be greatly expanded to analyze growth models such as data-based machine learning methods.
IRT Linking and Standard Errors of Linking Coefficients Under the Reparameterized Nominal Response Model
Authors:   Korean Society for Educational Evaluation, Kim Seonghoon
Published: July 2023

Under item response theory (IRT), common-item linking methods are used to develop a common ability scale between two test forms administered to examinee groups from different populations. The nominal response (NR) model, proposed first by Bock, was reparameterized by Thissen and his colleagues. This paper presents three types of IRT linking methods, the direct least squares (DLS), mean/least squares (MLS), and item category response function (ICRF) methods, for the reparameterized NR model and investigates their performance through computer simulations. The presentation assumes that the highest response categories are specified for all linking items. This paper also presents analytic formulas for computing the asymptotic standard errors (SEs) of linking coefficient estimates for the three methods. Important findings were obtained from a simulation study. Overall, the ICRF method outperformed the DLS and MLS methods in linking accuracy, and the DLS and MLS methods performed almost equally. The linking coefficients for the DLS and MLS methods should be estimated using item parameter estimates only for the highest response categories whereas those for the ICRF method should be estimated by the criterion function that is defined using all ICRFs across linking items. The analytic formulas for the asymptotic SEs worked properly for the three linking methods, and the SEs were, approximately, inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size.

Published: July 2023

This study was conducted to classify novice middle and high school teachers into subgroups based on their adaptation, and to verify individual and school-related factors influencing group classification. To this end, the study was conducted on 611 teachers with less than 5 years of teaching experience in middle and high schools using data from the 1st year of the Seoul Educational Longitudinal Study of Teacher. The results of the latent profile analysis, using functional aspects (curriculum, guidance and counseling, career guidance, classroom management, academic administration) and psychological aspects (passion/morale, burnout) as indicators, are as follows. The adaptation of new secondary school teachers was divided into 4 groups (‘High’ (9.1%), ‘High-Middle’ (28.1%), ‘Middle’ (42.0%), ‘Low’ (20.8%)) depending on the level of the indicators. As for the individual factors influencing the classification of new teachers’ professional adaptation, it was found that motivation for choosing the teaching profession (intrinsic motivation, altruistic motivation, and extrinsic motivation), sense of belonging, and non-regular teaching experience were significant. Among the school factors, the principal’s visionary leadership showed significance. Based on the results of this study, educational implications for the professional adaptation of novice teachers were proposed.

Generic Masculine Role Nouns Interfere With the Neural Processing of Female Referents: Evidence From the P600
Authors: Glim Sarah , Körner Anita , Rummer Ralf
Published: July 2023

The masculine form in German and other grammatically gendered languages can be used to refer either to male people specifically or to people of any gender generically. While decades of behavioral research have demonstrated that this dual function leads to male-biased responses, the neural underpinnings of this male bias are still underexplored. In the present EEG study, we investigated how the presentation of generically intended masculine role nouns (vs. role nouns in the feminine–masculine and the masculine–feminine pair form) affected the neural processing of subsequently presented anaphoric references to men and to women. The data showed that referring to women after generic masculine role nouns induced processing difficulties not only during early perceptual processing but, crucially, also during high-level reference resolution, as indicated by an enhanced P600 ERP amplitude. In contrast, no significant processing conflicts were observed in any of the analyzed time windows after the pair form. The present results shed light on the online processing of referent gender information in the human brain and support the notion that the generic masculine does not represent men and women equally well.
Integrating heuristic and simulation-based reasoning in intuitive physics
Authors: Smith Kevin , Battaglia Peter , Tenenbaum Joshua
Published: July 2023

The ability to predict, reason about, and act in the physical world is crucial for human survival, but the cognitive systems that underlie these capabilities have been the subject of intense debate. Some theories posit that reasoning about physical events is based on dynamic mental models that approximately simulate underlying physical mechanisms (e.g., the forces incident on objects that cause them to move); others argue for simpler heuristics that predict key physical outcomes (e.g.,“objects fall straight down when dropped”). We argue that general physical reasoning requires both simulation and rules, and propose a modeling framework for understanding the interactions and trade-offs between these cognitive systems as resource-rational computations to efficiently solve problems. We study these trade-offs using predictions about stability: judging whether a balance beam will fall, and if so how. While prior research suggests that people often use rules when solving balance beam tasks, these tasks are similar to others that have been found to rely on mental simulation. Across five experiments, participants’ predictions cannot be explained with simulation or rules alone, but we find evidence that individuals rely on both capacities. The mixture of strategies that people use to solve these stability problems is consistent with a resource-rational trade-off that accounts for the costs and benefits of using those strategies. Finally, we find that participants can rationally adapt this mixture of strategies to perform more efficiently given the distribution of task instances they encounter, demonstrating the flexible and online nature of the computational trade-offs in intuitive physics.
Non-instrumental information-seeking is resistant to acute stress

Published: July 2023

Previous research has shown that people intrinsically value non-instrumental information, which cannot be used to change the outcome of events, but only provides an early resolution of uncertainty. This is true even for information about rather inconsequential events, such as the outcomes of small lotteries. Here we investigated whether participants’ willingness to pay for non-instrumental information about the outcome of simple coin-flip lotteries with guaranteed winnings was modulated by acute stress. Stress was induced using the Socially Evaluated Cold Pressor Test (SECPT), and information-seeking choices were compared to a warm water control group. Our results neither support the hypothesis that stress decreases information-seeking by directing cognitive resources away from the relevance of the lotteries, nor the opposite hypothesis that stress increases information-seeking by driving anxiety levels up. Instead, we found that despite successful stress induction, as evidenced by increased saliva cortisol levels in the SECPT group, information valuation was remarkably stable. This finding is in line with recent findings that experimentally increased state anxiety did not modulate non-instrumental information seeking. Together, these results suggest that the aversiveness of “not knowing” is a stable cognitive state and not easily modulated by situational context, such as acute stress.
Mixture Multigroup Structural Equation Modeling: A Novel Method for Comparing Structural Relations Across Many Groups
Authors: Perez Alonso Andres Felipe , Rosseel Yves , Vermunt Jeroen , De Roover Kim
Published: July 2023

Behavioral scientists often examine the relations between two or more latent variables (e.g., how emotions relate to life satisfaction) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is the state-of-the-art for doing so. When comparing these 'structural relations' among many groups, they likely differ across the groups. However, it is equally likely that some groups share the same relations so that clusters of groups emerge. Latent variables are measured indirectly by questionnaires and, for validly comparing their relations among groups, the measurement of the latent variables should be invariant across the groups (i.e., measurement invariance). However, across many groups, often at least some measurement parameters differ. Restricting these measurement parameters to be invariant, when they are not, causes the structural relations to be estimated incorrectly and invalidates their comparison. We propose Mixture Multigroup SEM (MMG-SEM) to gather groups with equivalent structural relations in clusters while accounting for the reality of measurement non-invariance. Specifically, MMG-SEM obtains a clustering of groups focused on the structural relations by making them cluster-specific, while capturing measurement non-invariances with group-specific measurement parameters. In this way, MMG-SEM ensures that the clustering is valid and unaffected by differences in measurement. This paper proposes an estimation procedure built around the R package 'lavaan' and evaluates MMG-SEM's performance through two simulation studies. The results demonstrate that MMG-SEM successfully recovers the group-clustering as well as the cluster-specific relations and the partially group-specific measurement parameters. To illustrate its empirical value, we apply MMG-SEM to cross-cultural data on the relations between experienced emotions and life satisfaction.
Different Strokes For Different Folks: Comparing U.S. Groups' Openness To Pro-Animal Actions
Authors: Faunalytics
Published: July 2023

With this survey of thousands of U.S. residents, we add much-needed data on the various segments of the U.S. population to animal advocates’ tool belts. Our results show how likely different segments of the U.S. public would be to take 18 different pro-animal actions, from adopting a vegan diet to writing a member of Congress about farmed animal welfare. These results also allow advocates to compare subgroup differences across approximately 20 different characteristics: for example, people with children in the home, people in rural areas, or people who are concerned about climate change. Advocates working with a particular group can compare which asks are most likely to appeal to them, while those working on particular asks can see which segments of the population may be the most likely to support their campaigns.
Modular Morals: The Genetic Architecture of Morality as Cooperation
Authors: Zakharin Michael , Curry Oliver Scott , Lewis Gary , Bates Timothy Charles
Published: July 2023

Is morality the product of multiple domain-specific psychological mechanisms or one domain-general mechanism? Recent research suggests that morality consists of a range of solutions to the problems of cooperation that are recurrent in human social life. According to the theory of Morality as Cooperation (MAC), this involves at least seven types of cooperation, giving rise to seven types of morality: Family, Group, Reciprocity, Heroism, Deference, Fairness and Property Rights. However, how genes and environments influence these morals is unclear. Here we use multivariate analysis of a large twin sample (N = 1,066 pairs) to determine the genetic and environmental structure of moral values as measured by the Morality as Cooperation Questionnaire, contrasting models in which these morals are the product of either 1) multiple domain-specific psychological mechanisms versus 2) a single domain-general mechanism implementing all forms of cooperation. The results supported multiple heritable moral mechanisms, and models with fewer than the predicted seven factors fit poorly. A domain-general mechanism was also needed, though this showed non-significant heritability and may reflect response bias. We discuss the current study's limitations and suggest future research on the nature, structure, and content of morality.
A Teacher Training Platform of Content and Language Integrated Learning for Elementary English Education in China
Authors: Zhang Xiaohui , Deris Farhana Diana
Published: July 2023

Despite a plethora of studies on practice of Content and Language Integrated Learning in most European countries, few have examined Content and Language Integrated Learning teacher training in China. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a Content and Language Integrated Learning teacher training platform for elementary English education in China. It sought to answer the following main research questions: What are the contents differences in Content and Language Integrated Learning teacher training in China? What are in-service English teachers’ perceptions of Content and Language Integrated Learning after the training? And What are the factors which affect the training effect? The qualitative evidence showed that the training content of the teacher platform in China has been flexibly designed following the Chinese elementary English education context, but it also reflected the lack of consideration of teachers’ individual needs in the design of the platform’s training content and the lack of practical sessions and the long-term follow-up support. The statistical evidence showed that teaching experience significantly determines Content and Language Integrated Learning efficacy, and the educational background has little bearing on Content and Language Integrated Learning perceptions. Furthermore, all teachers from different educational backgrounds had a positive perception of their Content and Language Integrated Learning competence. However, Participants believed that their theoretical knowledge and teaching abilities are not equal, which suggests that instructors in this field urgently need help. Further research examining the cultivation of pre-service Content and Language Integrated Learning teachers would be worthy of investigation.

Published: July 2023

Teachers as well as pupils may experience stress during the process of teaching and learning a second language in a classroom setting. Mindfulness-Based Interventions are an effective way to manage stress issues in language classrooms. This study aimed to explore the perception of selected English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers on implementing MBIs during their online lessons regarding their understanding of and challenges in its execution. The perceptions of Malaysian English language teachers of this intervention have not been adequately evaluated, despite being one of the most important stakeholders in academia. Seventeen English language instructors from two secondary schools in Perak were interviewed using a semi-structured format. The subjects were chosen using a convenient sampling method. The goal was to determine what the teachers thought about the intervention in general. In addition, their readiness and acceptance of the method are also investigated. The interview was also conducted to elicit their thoughts on the potential inhibitors and facilitators to the introduction of MBIs in their lessons. The findings indicate that the idea of mindfulness is still new to the teachers since they do not understand it collectively. The challenges associated with executing the plan are also emphasized, along with recommendations for mitigating them. Despite possible obstacles, the teachers exhibit a generally positive attitude and a strong desire to implement Mindfulness-based Interventions in their classrooms.

Authors: Ameen Rizgar M.
Published: July 2023

This research paper investigates the students’ attitudes toward learning English grammar and the possible factors that may affect the learning process. The significance of the study is revealing the attitudes of the English department students of Raparin University towards English Grammar. For this, some questions were raised to identify the students’ perspectives, methods, and techniques used by the instructors. The research was carried out at the English language department in the College of Basic Education at the University of Raparin. The study involved 40 second and third-year EFL learners who participated in an online questionnaire that included 20 items and the mixed method used to gather the data. The results present that while students recognize the importance of grammar in language learning, they find it challenging to learn. Also, the researcher discovered that the technique instructors use to teach grammar is unsuitable, and students find grammar complex because of its numerous rules. Finally, the study illustrates the significance of encouraging and nurturing positive attitudes among learners toward learning the language’s grammar to enhance teaching effectiveness.
Transportable Identities in Conversational Interaction among Batna 2 University Students of English
Authors: GUERZA Radia
Published: July 2023

The relationship between language and identity was an issue of huge debate over the last few years. It is observed, mainly in educational institutions, that the interrelation between identity and language does exist in various conversational interactions to portray modes of thinking and venues of interacting with knowledge. This issue has gained momentum among researchers and experts. This paper endeavors to shed light on the feasibility of transportable identities that engage and motivate learners of English. It aims to showcase how transportable identities can generate genuine discourse in classroom settings. The current study might enrich the existing literature, especially in the Algerian context, knowing that transportable identities were not addressed before in Algeria. The data gathered will provide empirical evidence of the viable impact of transportable identities within conversational interaction. Hence, this study is a reasonable attempt to improve the quality of both English as a Foreign Language learning and teaching. To equate with research objectives, an exploratory study was conducted to address the following research question: “To what extent can English as a Foreign Language conversational interaction, supported by transportable identities, generate authentic classroom discourse and, by extension, enhance learning?” Research findings obtained confirmed that conversational interaction that engages learners’ transportable identities engendered genuine discourses and impacted their proficiency positively.
Multilayer Analysis Approach in Tourism Administration in Nepal
Authors: Gautam Sahadev
Published: July 2023

The notion of tourism administration encompasses more than just the functional links between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. Studies of modern tourism are collections of institutional and informal entities. As a result, both laterally and vertically, the nature of tourism administration is broad and profound. Tourism administration includes social phenomena, travel locations, travel products, and authenticity. Let's suppose that social governance is administered through the process of tourism administration. The fundamental requirement for the tourism industry, which serves as the principal environment for tourism management, is social democracy. The essay emphasizes the interdependence between important components of tourism research in Nepal based on a meta-analysis.

Scenario of Work-Life Balance Among Employed Women in the Public Sector of Lalitpur District
Authors: Shahi Hari Bhakta
Published: July 2023

The Constitution of Nepal 2072 emphasizes women's employment particularly the quota system developed for women in the public sector. This is an opportunity for women on one side and on the other side they are facing pressure due to their double roles and function. Nepali society is adopting both traditional and modern theories. Traditionally women are engaged in household activities. But in modern society, women are engaged in various activities including office work out of their house. Nepali-employed women are suffering from dual roles and functions. Nepali women especially those engaged in public sector offices are busy in various service delivery offices. In the public sector of Nepal, Nepali-employed women are highly criticized due to their low performance. This is due to their dual role. Women are responsible for their household activities such as; cooking, lodging, care of children as well as senior citizens, cleaning, guest management, clothing, waste management, and so on. Due to these household chores, women are busy in the house. On the other hand, public sector employed women have to be involved in various activities in the office such as service delivery, meeting, day-to-day activities, training, and so on. Therefore, public sector-employed women are facing a high level of pressure and cannot work well in the office.  Developed countries run their administrative activities by the system. Public sector-employed women are successful in these countries. Women who are busy in the public sector manage their children, some senior citizens in the care center. Similarly cleaning, and washing, are also managed by the private sector in developed countries. So, urban areas like Lalitpur, Kathmandu, and Biratnagar should follow foreign trends. The government of Nepal should also develop a system for public sector-employed women.
Gorkha Soldiers and Ex-rebels in Paintings: a Study of the Aesthetics of Human Agency
Authors: Parajuli Bishwo Raj
Published: July 2023

When the socio-economic forces (basically those serving the capitalist mode of production) rule human beings, common people lose their agency, or the people in the upper strata tend to overlook, suppress and even suspend the agencies of people at the bottom level. We have evidences of the mockery of the writers and composers towards the soldiers and rebels deprived of their agencies. On the other hand, the aesthetics of human agency in subjugated people like soldiers and rebels is a relevant area of study. How do the contemporary Nepali paintings depict such theme is still a researchable gap. This paper investigates how contemporary paintings by some Nepali artists deal with the suspension of agency, subaltern consciousness and dissolution of humanity with regards to the lives of rebels (the ex-fighters of Maoist Peoples War in Nepal) and soldiers (British Gorkha soldiers). The discussion predominantly builds on the paintings ‘Gurkhas: Decoratively Tightened for Last 200 Years’ and ‘Bravery in the Box’ by Sunil Sigdel followed by ‘A Rebel Turned Gulf Migrant’ by Hitman Gurung, though not limited to these works. The discussion largely incorporates theoretical and conceptual implements from relevant literature on agency theories, resistance and body aesthetics, such as the ideas of Michael Garnett, Kasper Masse, Margaret S. Archer and others. The method of discussion is predominantly critical analysis of the selected paintings, personal interviews with the artists, and socio-political reverberations these works have created as reflected in some secondary texts like show feedback in visitor’s book, reviews in published in media, preface articles in exhibition brochures, etc. The findings of the discussion suggest absence and inhuman suspension of agencies in Gorkha Soldiers and Ex-Rebels. The paper concludes affirming the scope and nature of the aesthetics of human agency, especially focusing on the practice of deep agency.

Papeles y cuadernos de la cárcel: editar la escritura en el encierro
Authors: Rubin María José
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las particularidades de la práctica editorial en contextos de encierro en Argentina mediante la sistematización y el análisis de cinco publicaciones, ya editadas o en proceso de edición, que fueron formuladas durante las prácticas pedagógico-políticas del Programa de Extensión en Cárceles de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. En estos cinco casos se observan los sentidos que guían los procesos editoriales a través de las marcas que imprime en ellos la especificidad de la escritura que los convoca y el territorio en los que se inscriben. La edición en el contexto de un proyecto pedagógico desarrollado por la universidad configura territorios colectivos donde la escritura y las publicaciones pueden desplegar y portar voces plurales, que se fortalecen en esa pluralidad forjada al calor de procesos de subjetivación individuales y colectivos posibilitados por la educación y la escritura. La práctica editorial se trama de manera indisociable con acciones orientadas a la defensa de derechos, la narración de experiencias vividas y la construcción de una historia colectiva que hacen parte de los deseos y expectativas en torno a la edición de publicaciones.

Çalışan güvenliğini sağlamanın amacı, çalışanları iş kazalarından ve meslek hastalıklarından korumak, beden ve ruh sağlığını sağlamaktır. Okullar; öğretmenlerin, öğrencilerin, okul yöneticilerinin, hizmetlilerin, velilerin ve paydaşların fiilen bir araya geldiği yerlerdir. Paydaşlar okuldayken kendilerini fiziksel ve zihinsel olarak güvende ve sağlıklı bir ortamda hissetmek isterler. Okulların hem çalışanları hem de öğrencileri için sağlıklı ve güvenli bir çalışma ortamına sahip olması gerekir. Bu durum insanları yangın, vandalizm, yaralanma ve hastalık gibi potansiyel tehlikelerden koruyarak sağlanabilir. Okulda iş sağlığı ve güvenliği yönetimi, okulun her alanında çalışanların sosyal ve ekonomik refahını korur. Okullarda iş verenler ve iş sağlığı ve güvenliği araştırmalarının yapılmasından sorumlu olanlar okul müdürleri ve idarecileridir. Okul müdürleri ve yöneticileri, yasal düzenlemeler çerçevesinde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği mevzuatına uygun olarak öngörülen önleyici faaliyetleri yürütmekle yükümlüdür. İş sağlığı ve güvenliği ile ilgili faaliyetlerin yürütülmesinden okul yöneticileri sorumlu olduğundan, İl Millî Eğitim Bürosu yetkili personeli düzenli olarak risk analizi yapmakta, okulun acil eylem planını incelemekte, değerlendirme yapmakta ve daha sonra teslim etmektedir. Okul yönetimine okul bölgesi vatandaşları eğitimleri için ihtiyaç duydukları bilgileri sağlar. Bu araştırmanın amacı okullara yönelik iş sağlığı ve güvenliği uygulamalarını değerlendirmektir. Araştırma okullarda yürütülen iş sağlığı ve güvenliği uygulamalarının ortaya konulması ve paydaşlara fikir beya etmesi açısından önemli görülmektedir. Araştırmanın verileri alanyazın taraması yapılarak derlenmiştir.

A review of works devoted to the University automation problems or Gale-Shapley algorithm using is carried out. The paper analyzes the organizational, information and communication components of the scientific director electing process. The drawbacks of the students distribution existing algorithms are highlighted, namely: a student is left without a scientific director; distribution blocking due to a teacher or student fault; teachers' quotas dynamic change during distribution. The following subsystem users groups (roles) are distinguished: student, graduate student, departments teachers, department head, laboratory assistant, dean, deputy dean, dean's office methodologist, rector, specialist of the general department. A modified scientific director election process (algorithm) is proposed. A mathematical model for these processes is described. An algorithm that allows automatically set priorities in questionnaires that are not completed by students / teachers has been developed. The Gale-Shapley algorithm is used for automatic pairing < scientific director; student>. In this case, the following conditions are met for the obtained set of pairs: each student must be assigned a scientific director; for scientific director, selected students number should be according to the workload. To test the approach proposed in the work, a corresponding subsystem consisting of a relational database and a web application was implemented. When creating a web application, the following were used: Spring Framework, Vaadin, Hibernate, RabbitMQ message broker, PostgreSQL DBMS, REST.

The new physically correct reflectance model based on angle calculation between vectors is proposed in this article. The main bidirectional reflectance distribution functions groups characteristics are analyzed. The models based on angle calculations allow to approximate the etalon Blinn model with low degree function. The approximated Blinn model was modified with correction coefficient in order to increase the realism level of the epicenter zone glow formation. The computer program for the modified model correction coefficient calculation was developed. The modified model normalizing coefficient for the energy conservation law adherence was proposed. The dataset for the coefficient formula selection using TuringBot software was created. The normalizing coefficient formula was selected from calculated variants. The absolute error value between 1 and hemispherical integral reflectivity value is not bigger than 210^(-2). The developed physically correct reflectance model can be used in high realism level computer graphics systems.

The article is devoted to the creation, justification and verification of a mathematical model for forecasting time labor costs for solving typical problems of a software development project. Forecasting is carried out on the basis of information about the duration of each typical task by an individual employee from the development team. The constructed model takes into account information about the time frame for the employee to complete the task with a certain number of repetitions of its implementation. The work was done using the cftool service tools of the MatLab package. The adequacy of the parameters of the mathematical model was checked experimentally, a comparative assessment of the results obtained with the indicators calculated by the theoretical method was carried out.

Computer division of integers is given by polynomial transformation of complementary codes. The positive property of the mathematical model of these polynomials is characterized by the formation of polynomials of positive and negative integers with an equivalent expression. Іn the general form, the dependence of the function domain of the number’s representation in the two’s complementary code and the polynomial capacity is established. Adequate polynomial bit capacity of the complementary code dividend for defined formats of the divisor and the quotient is determined. The algorithm for determining the special polynomial of the quotient for all combinations of the operands sign polarity is formed. It is shown that the content of the quotient polynomial is determined by the partial remainder’s polarity of the dividend, which are determined by adding the transformed or untransformed complementary code of the divisor to the doubled code of the previous partial remainder complementary code. It is proved that increasing the value of the complementary code of the dividend partial remainder is reduced to a modified left shift of the dividend remainder complementary code with the loss of the sign bit. Logical expressions for fixing the overflow of the quotient are synthesized, the determination of which is combined with the calculation of the highest bit of the quotient polynomial. A reasonable algorithm for converting the calculated polynomial of the quotient into the resulting complementary code of the quotient during dividing operands with the same and different signs. For the mathematical description of the complementary code of integers, a special form of the shortened modulo-shifted code is introduced. The task of dividing integers is reduced to the operation of dividing complementary codes polynomials. In the system of complementary codes, an algorithm for determining the quotient polynomial, which is invariant to the signs of the operands, is proposed. The algorithm for calculating the correct complementary code of the dividend remainder for all combinations of the sign bits of the operands is indicated.
