The Existence of Emperor Hongwu's Royal Edict of King Gongmin's Cefeng(冊封) to King of Goryeo
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, Kwon Yong-Cheol
Published: December 2023

This paper start with the record of the arrival of Ming's envoy in May of the 19th year of King Gongmin(1370) to officially appoint King Gongmin as the King of Goryeo, and try to find and give meaning to the record of the cefeng(冊封) of King Gongmin while keeping in mind the situation of the early formation of the Goryeo-Ming relationship. In the Goryeo history, only the existence of gaoming(誥命) appears as a document delivered when King Gongmin was appointed as King of Goryeo by Emperor Hongwu(洪武). And in the records of the Ming side, the same content of gaoming is transmitted in almost the same form of Goryeo history with only some characters changed. The problem is that the Ming records are subtly different. While Veritable Record of Ming Taizu records both the royal edict(詔書) and the gaoming to appoint King Gongmin, the actual content of the royal edict was identical to the edict to appoint King Wu of Goryeo. In other words, the royal edict sent to appoint King Wu was mistakenly recorded as the edict sent to appoint King Gongmin. As a result, it is difficult to determine with certainty whether Emperor Hongwu sent only the seal and the gaoming, or both the edict and the gaoming, when he appointed King Gongmin.
However, this paper have found that there is a royal edict of Emperor Hongwu that is similar in overall content to the gaoming but different in text, and this paper assumes that it is the royal edict that was issued at the time of the King Gongmin's appointment. This document, which was included in the collection of Wanghui(王褘), a literary bureaucrat who served under Emperor Hongwu from the late 1350s, can be used as evidence to support the existence of a document for the cefeng of King Gongmin apart from the gaoming for the appointment of King Gongmin. In the end, it can be assumed that Emperor Hongwu sent the royal edict, gold seal, and gaoming together when he appointed King Gongmin as King of Goryeo as recorded in the Veritable Record of Ming Taizu.
However, it is unclear why this document is only found in the collection of Wanghui and not at all in records compiled by the state, such as the Goryeo History or Veritable Record of Ming Taizu. Whether this was an intentional omission or a mistake on both sides, or whether the document was only recorded in a collection of documents and never actually delivered to Goryeo, remains to be seen. It is hoped that future advances in the study of Goryeo-Ming relations and further research will shed light on many of these questions.
The Concept Discernment of “Witch Doctor” in Song Dynasty
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, YANG Jiahao , TANG Ye
Published: December 2023

As an ancient profession, witches have experienced the transformation from officials to civilians, from “god” to “devil” with the development of time. By the Song Dynasty, the derogatory meaning contained in the word “witch” was already very strong. At the same time, under the influence of the appellation, spells, clothing and other factors of witches in the Song Dynasty, Song people often referred to other similar occupations and liars as witches—especially in the context of medical treatment. Therefore, from the perspective of the Song dynasty, the term “witch doctor” primarily referred to a group of witches specializing in witchcraft, which also included other masters and some false practitioners claiming to have similar abilities. As a result, the negative reputation garnered by disgusting conduct of fraudsters and other unscrupulous individuals within the group was unfairly attributed to witches.
Bernard Lewis’e Göre Doğu-Batı Kutuplaşmasının Düşünsel Temelleri ve İslam
Authors: ALİMOĞLU SÜRMELİ Zeynep
Published: December 2023

Yirmi birinci yüzyılın önde gelen oryantalistlerinden biri olan Bernard Lewis, araştırmalarını Ortadoğu ve İslam konularına hasretmiş bir akademisyendir. Bir dönem, George Walker Bush’un danışmanlığını yapan Lewis’e yönelik toplumumuzdaki genel algı, araştırmalarını, akademik merakın ötesinde ABD’nin Ortadoğu politikalarını şekillendirmek ve coğrafyayı yeniden düzenlemek için devletine istihbarat sağlamak gayesi ile yaptığı yönündedir. Akademik çevreleri istisna edersek Lewis’e ve çalışmalarına yönelik toplumumuzdaki genel algı olumsuzdur. Eserlerinin pek çoğu Türkçe’ye de tercüme edilmiş olan ve ülkemizde çok okunan Bernard Lewis, Türkiye’yi Ortadoğu ülkelerinden ayrı bir yere koymaktadır. Türkiye’nin demokrasi serüvenini göklere çıkarması nedeniyle bazı akademik çevrelerde yüceltilen Lewis’in İslam’a yönelik eleştirilerinin, eleştirilerinde kullandığı dilin ve daha da önemlisi Lewis’in objektifliğine dair araştırmaların ihmal edildiği dikkatimizi çekmiştir. Etkili bir akademisyen olması nedeniyle Lewis’in fikirlerine yönelik çalışmalar önem arz etmektedir. Doğu-Batı kutuplaşmasının en temel nedeninin din olduğunu düşünen Lewis’e göre kısa vadede söz konusu iki medeniyetin birbirine müsamaha ile yaklaşması imkân dahilinde değildir. Bunun nedeni ise İslam’ın vazettiği öğretiler ve dini düşüncede yenilenmeye dair herhangi bir çabanın olmayışıdır. Bu araştırmada Lewis’in konu ile ilgili fikirleri ele alınarak bir düşünürün aidiyetlerinden mutlak mânâda soyutlanarak ötekine tarafsız bir gözle bakışının imkânı Bernard Lewis özelinde tartışılacaktır.
Hâricîliğin Doğuşuna Etki Eden İktisadî Arka Plan
Authors: ÇAVUŞLU Kerem
Published: December 2023

Hâricîliğin doğuşu ve teşekkül sürecine ilişkin yapılan çalışmalarda siyasî, sosyal, dinî ve kültürel etkenler üzerinde yeterince durulmuş, ancak iktisadî etkenlere ise gerektiği kadar yer verilmemiştir. Hâricîlik İslâm öncesi dönemde başlayan ve İslâm sonrasında yaşanan siyasal, sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel değişim ve dönüşümün bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan dinî ve siyasî bir harekettir. İlk dört halife döneminde yaşanan siyasî, sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik değişim ve dönüşüm sonucu Müslümanlar arasında birtakım ihtilafalar yaşanmıştır. Hz. Osman döneminde ortaya çıkan kitlesel isyan hareketi onun katliyle sonuçlandı. Hz. Ali’nin halife seçilmesi sorunları çözmedi. Aksine yeni sorunları da beraberinde getirdi. Bu dönemde yaşanan Cemel ve Sıffîn ile tahkim meselesi Hz. Ali’nin ordusunda siyasî ve dinî bir gruplaşmaya neden oldu. Sıffîn’de ortaya atılan hakem fikri bu ayrışmanın tek sebebi değildi. Bu ayrışma, Kureyş kabilesi ile diğer Arap kabileleri arasında İslâm öncesi dönemde başlayan ve Hz. Peygamber sonrasında devam eden siyasî ve iktisadî çatışmanın bir sonucuydu.

RUSLARIN TÜRKİSTAN İŞGALLERİNİ MEŞRULAŞTIRMA ÇABALARI: PROPAGANDA
Authors: KARATAŞ Ömer
Published: December 2023

18. yüzyılda Rus Devleti’nde tahta çıkan I. Petro (1682-1725) yaptığı reformlarla Çarlık Rusya’sını İmparatorluk statüsüne çıkarmıştı. Böylece Çar I. Petro saltanatıyla başlayan ardından Rus tahtına çıkan tüm temsilciler tarafından yürütülen yayılmacı siyaset, Rus Devleti’nin resmi programı olmuştu. Neticede Rus İmparatorluk yetkilileri bu siyasete bağlı kalarak kendilerine ait olmayan ülkeleri işgal etmişlerdi. Türkistan, Rusların işgaline uğrayan ülkelerden sadece biriydi (19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonra). Uçsuz bucaksız arazilere sahip olan Türkistan, Ruslar tarafından kademeli ve sistemli olarak işgal edilmiştir. Rus İmparatorluğu, Türkistan coğrafyasında işgal ettiği toprakları kendi bünyesine entegre etmek için işgal sahasında Çar II. Aleksandr (1855-1881) döneminde, Türkistan Genel Valiliği’ni teşkil etmiş (1867) ve General Konstantin Petroviç von Kaufman’ı ilk genel vali olarak atamıştır. Ardından Türkistan bölgesinde Ruslar, işgalleriyle eş zamanlı olarak bölgede kalıcı olmak adına propaganda faaliyetlerine girişmişlerdi. Bu faaliyetlerin amacı, ulusal ve uluslararası kamuoyunu ikna etmek ve işgalleri meşrulaştırmaktı. Bu süre zarfında yürütülen Rus propagandası çalışmanın konusudur. Çalışmanın kaynakları, Türkistan Vedomosti Gazetesi, Türkistan Sbornik (külliyat), Rus sanatçıların tabloları ve Türkistan Albümüdür.
Physical modeling in water treatment technologies
Authors: Gerasymov O. I. , Kuriatnykov V. V.
Published: December 2023

In most cases, water pollution is associated with the presence in it of a dispersed phase of various substances, which, depending on its physical state, forms various polydisperse heterogeneous aggregate-unstable systems: suspensions, emulsions, and foams.
The paper analyzes the application of physical models for the description of complex dispersed systems, analyzes the possibilities of classic modeling methods and the limits of the application of the considered models.
The paper studies the influence of temperature changes (of seasonal or climatic origin) on the kinetics of gravitational sedimentation in wastewater treatment technologies.
Considered models of physical processes accompanying the gravitational deposition of dispersed particles in hydromechanical sedimentation tanks, which take into account the Brownian motion of these particles, capable, as it turns out, of causing coagulation. And coagulation makes it possible to transfer pollutants into a state of dispersed phase with a larger particle size.
Within the framework of the considered model, it was established that the time and speed of particle sedimentation in gravity sedimentation systems may change significantly with external temperature changes. Accordingly, the quality of cleaning in a sedimentation plant, which works on the principle of gravity, can significantly increase (when heated from the outside) or decrease (when cooled).
Thus, the need to take into account temperature changes in the processes of gravitational sedimentation of particles in treatment facilities is an urgent task.
The paper concluded that in order to improve the existing technologies of water purification in the conditions of a change in external conditions (temperature), combinations of purification methods are appropriate for better water purification. In particular, the method of gravity sedimentation and the method of electrochemical or electrophoretic purification, gradual or simultaneous processes of hydromechanical sedimentation of pollutants, filtering or flotation processes.
The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that it concerns the search for ways to improve the existing technological processes of water purification and increase its quality.
Moda, Magreza e Empoderamento Feminino:
Authors: Aires Aliana
Published: December 2023

Nosso objetivo é verificar a atuação da comunicação publicitária como uma convocação biopolítica para a magreza corporal, e para um estilo de vida que associa magreza, moda e empoderamento feminino por meio do consumo de cigarros, entre as décadas de 1920 a 1990 nos Estados Unidos. Para isso, analisamos um material empírico composto por anúncios de cigarros voltados para mulheres de três marcas estadunidenses (Lucky Strike, Max e Virgínia Slims), veiculados em dois períodos (1920-1930 e 1970-1990). Como procedimento teórico-metodológico, nos guiaremos pelas reflexões sobre biopolítica (FOUCAULT, 2001, 2009), convocações biopolíticas (PRADO, 2013), corpo feminino, beleza e pressão estética (BORDO, 1993; FEATHERSTONE, 1991), e estigma ao corpo gordo (FARREL, 2011; FRASER, 2009). Esses anúncios evidenciam uma biopolítica que atua sobre o corpo da população feminina em dois momentos, primeiro para o corpo magro, na década de 1920, e depois, nas décadas de 1980 e 1990, para o estilo de vida moderno. Também evidenciam um paradoxo em "escolher" engajar-se em práticas que, em última instância, reforçam as normas do corpo, indo contra a liberdade e igualdade de direitos que as mulheres haviam conquistado até então.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Yönetim ve Organizasyon (YO) disiplininin oluşum sürecinde geçirdiği aşamaları incelemektir. Nitel bir araştırma yaklaşımı ve belge çözümleme deseninin kullanıldığı bu çalışma, disiplinin biçimsel, kavramsal ve kurumsal oluşumunu incelemektedir. Bu yolla, akademik faaliyetlere ve kurumsal gelişmelere dayalı olarak disiplinin bir soyağacı oluşturulmuştur. 1920'lerin sonlarından itibaren üç farklı düzeydeki gelişmelerin disiplinin oluşumunda etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Makro düzeyde Türk alfabe ve dil devrimleri, Darülfünunun kapatılması ve üniversitelerin kurulması söz konusudur. Meso düzeydeki önemli değişiklikler arasında Fransız, ardından Alman ve nihayet Amerikan eğitim yaklaşımının benimsenmesi, İstanbul ve Ankara dışındaki üniversitelerin büyümesi ve UAK'ın (Üniversitelerarası Kurul) oluşturulması yer almaktadır. İşletme bölümlerinin iktisat bölümlerinden ayrılması, işletme bölümlerinin ana bilim dallarının ortaya çıkması, yönetim ve organizasyonla ilgili ders kitaplarının artması, dergilerin yayınlanması, konferans ve kongrelerin düzenlenmesi YO disiplinini biçimlendiren mikro düzeydeki önemli gelişmelerdir.

Apontamentos sobre a musealidade nos espaços domésticos: analisando o museal no projeto de ambientação da casa da arquiteta Janete Costa (RJ)
Authors: OLIVEIRA MARIA DE LOURDES F. C. DE , MENEZES NETO HUGO
Published: December 2023

Tomando como ponto de partida o conceito de musealidade, central para Zbyněk Zbyslav Stránský (1926-2016), que excede a ideia de museus mostrando-se útil para pensar a relação entre humanidade-objetos-espaço, este artigo apresenta um estudo de caso do projeto de ambientação concebido pela arquiteta pernambucana Janete Costa (1932-2008), elaborado na década de 1980 para a residência da sua família na cidade do Rio de Janeiro-RJ. Analisamos, portanto, a musealidade em um ambiente residencial emblemático para observar a relação entre os conceitos de casa e de museu, suas fronteiras e conexões. Na interface entre a antropologia do imaginário, a história da arquitetura e a museologia, analisamos as imagens disponíveis da residência de Janete Costa, considerando as contribuições filosóficas deixadas por Bachelard (1993) ao iluminar a poética do espaço da casa, atentando para a produção de ressonâncias naquilo que se encontra na nossa memória, nos arquétipos construídos, e no imaginário coletivo sobre dois universos simbólicos construídos a partir das experiências coletivas.

Truizmy Jenny Holzer jako kontrhegemoniczna praktyka artystyczna
Authors: Adamska-Kijko Magdalena
Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu jest interpretacja strategii artystycznych wykorzystanych przez amerykańską artystkę neokonceptualną Jenny Holzer w pracy Truizmy w kontekście agonistycznej koncepcji polityki Chantal Mouffe. Powstały pod koniec lat 70. XX wieku ciąg wzajemnie wykluczających się znaczeniowo jednowersówek, pozbawionych autora, multiplikowany w różnorodnych formach i obszarach życia codziennego – od przedmiotów jednorazowego użytku, takich jak długopisy czy prezerwatywy, aż po tablice świetlne na Times Square – staje się doskonałą metonimią tego, co można nazwać wiedzą potoczną. Powielając pracę w różnorodnych formach i kontekstach od końcówki lat 70. XX wieku aż do dziś, Holzer obnaża sposoby uprawomocniania się przestrzeni dyskursywnych, próbując włączyć do niej swój własny język.

Published: December 2023

Relevance. The need to study contribution of biogenic factors to migration of elements and response of ecological and geochemical system to natural and technogenic situation, which makes it possible to identify the presence of biogeochemical anomalies. Aim. To determine ecological and geochemical features of mercury load in the south of Western Siberia (Tomsk region, Kemerovo region, Altai Territory) according to research (leaves of aspen (Populus tremula L., family Salicaceae)). Objects. Aspen leaves, widely used to analyze the biogeochemical cycle of chemical elements and their migration in the "soil–plant" system, reflect the elemental composition of growing environment and can act as a biogeoindicator for biogeochemical studies. Methods. Sampling of aspen leaves, drying at room temperature, grinding, atomic absorption analysis of mercury on an RA-915M analyzer with the PIRO-915+ attachment (pyrolysis method). The application program STATISTICA 12 was used to process the data analysis and calculate eco-geochemical indicators: concentration factor, enrichment factor, bioaccumulation factor, concentration clarke. Results. The article presents original data on Hg gross concentration in aspen leaves in Tomsk, Kemerovo regions and Altai Territory. The authors have revealed the features of pollutant accumulation depending on the area of growth, geography and orography of the territory, geochemical features of the study areas, and the influence of anthropogenic factors. Calculations of the main geo-environmental indicators of the mercury load were made. The calculation results indicate that the concentrations are higher than the background, the Clarke of the noosphere, and the average for the dry matter of terrestrial plants. The presence of the element in the form available to plants was revealed in the substrate, as evidenced by the results of calculating the bioaccumulation coefficient. Geographically, Hg accumulation in aspen leaves in the south of Western Siberia is associated with the prevailing wind direction and the impact of anthropogenic sources.

Judicial Mediation: Is Reconciliation Impossible in Divorce Cases?
Authors: Sabarudin Ahmad
Published: December 2023

Judicial mediation attempts to realize the principle of peace in civil cases, however, in its implementation in religious courts there is still minimal success in producing peace agreements, especially in divorce cases. This research aims to analyze whether it is impossible to reconcile the parties in a divorce case through judicial mediation. This research is empirical legal research with a case approach. The data collection methods involve observation, interviews, and documentation. These data are then validated using the triangulation method.  After data validation, the next step is to analyze using an analytical method using the theory of legal objectives. Research findings show that successful mediation in divorce cases is not impossible, it's just that divorce cases are very difficult to reconcile, because the parties who submit divorce cases to court usually have reached the climax of domestic problems, and some have not lived together for a long time.
Some details of the structure of the northern centricline of the Kos’yu-Un’ya syncline (Ilych River, Northern Urals)
Authors: Shmeleva Lyubov' , Ponomarenko E
Published: December 2023

The latest most detailed geological map of the Upper Pechora transverse subsidence, compiled by V. V. Yudin, shows an undisturbed western wing passing into the centricline of the Kosyu-Un’ya syncline, composed of Middle Ordovician and Silurian deposits falling to the southeast in the area of the middle course of the Ilych River (from the mouth of the Shezhimyu River to Anna-Di Island). Detailed studies of the sections uncovered in this area, as well as analysis of the literary and field materials of the predecessors, allowed updating ideas about the stratigraphic confinement of some strata and the structure of the area as in general. According to our data, deposits from the Middle Ordovician to the Ludlov unit of the Silurian are revealed within the northern centricline of the Kos’yu-Un’ya syncline, which are divided into three block scales (Shezhimdisk, Mikolael and Ust’Bol’shekosyu), bounded by faults with a plane of incidence inclined to the east-southeast at angles of 30–40°. Tectonic confinement of the complexly dislocated Lower Devonian sediments of the Valgan formation observed at the northern centricline of the fold to the east of the mouth of the Kos’yu River and previously referred to the eastern wing of the Kos’yu-Un’ya syncline, is currently being discussed. According to their lithological composition, they belong to the Shantym facies complex and are probably already part of another tectonic structure — the Valgan «monocline» of the eastern subzone of the Upper Pechora transverse subsidence.

Published: December 2023

The foundations of writing, one of the four basic language skills, are laid in the primary school years and this skill is formally acquired during the first literacy teaching process in the 1st grade of primary school. Analyzing the writing skills of primary school students is essential for detecting weaknesses in their writing abilities, preventing potential writing difficulties in subsequent years, and designing intervention programs to enhance their writing competencies. In this context, this study aimed to examine the writing skills of primary school 1st through 4th grade students in terms of mechanics. The students’ notebook writings were assessed based on the following criteria: the size and shape of the letters, the alignment and order of the writing, the spacing between words and letters, the layout and neatness of the paper, the quantity and quality of the writing on the page and in the notebook, and the expression and meaningful coherence of the writing. The sample of the study, which was conducted with a descriptive survey using quantitative methods, consisted of a total of 807 primary school students studying in districts of different socioeconomic levels in Istanbul and the students’ writing notebooks. The “Writing Achievement Assessment Form,” which was prepared by the researchers and revised following the opinion of a classroom education specialist, was used as a data collection tool in the study. As a result of the study, it was determined that the writing skills of primary school students were at different levels in terms of mechanics. In addition, it was observed that the deficiencies in students’ mechanical writing skills were included in different criteria items. Based on the results obtained, the researchers have made suggestions to contribute to the field.

This study aims to explore English language teachers’ and English department heads’ perspectives on the benefits and challenges of designing and delivering units using Understanding by Design (UbD) framework to teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL). UbD is a unit and curriculum design framework which aims for student understanding and its transfer into real life context through three stages: identifying the desired results, determining the assessment evidence, and planning learning activities. Data was collected through open-ended questionnaires from 39 English language teachers and five department heads, and semi-structured focus group interviews with seven teachers. The content and thematic analysis of the qualitative data revealed that the teachers who implemented UbD within the context of their school perceived it as a design process with benefits on students’ academic achievement and English language skills through its focus on the development of understandings and transfer. The findings also uncovered perceived challenges caused by institutional, instructional, teacher related and learner related factors. Teachers also found UbD implementations challenging due to the characteristics of online education during the global pandemic. These findings suggest that although UbD is not commonly used at schools in the Turkish EFL context, it can be offered as an alternative unit design practice if teachers’ professional knowledge of its underlying principles is increased with regular in-service trainings on its proper implementation.
A Teacher Training Program for Learning and Teaching about Scientific Reasoning Skills
Authors: KOCAGÜL Merve , ÜNAL ÇOBAN Gül
Published: December 2023

This study aims to improve science teachers' scientific reasoning skills (SRS) in using and teaching these skills through a professional development program, Scientific Reasoning Skills Teacher Training Program (SRSTP). Forty-five middle school science teachers participated in the study, which was on convergent parallel design. "Scientific Reasoning Skills Assessment Form (SRSAF)" and "Scientific Reasoning Skills Test for In-service and Pre-service Science Teachers (SRSTIPST)" were used to determine the improvement in teachers' use of scientific reasoning skills. Besides, "Self-efficacy Perceptions towards Teaching Scientific Reasoning Skills Assessment Form (SEPSRSAF)" and "Self-efficacy Perceptions towards Teaching Scientific Reasoning Skills Scale (SEPSRS)" were used to determine teachers' self-efficacy perceptions towards teaching them. Findings from SRSAF and SRSTIPST pointed out that teachers' scores in using specific scientific reasoning skills and their ways of making claims, presenting evidence, and reasoning differed significantly after SRSTP. Findings from SEPSRS showed that teachers got significantly higher scores in creating SRS based learning environment, academic proficiency, using SRS in the classroom, assessment of SRS, and instructional ways for teaching SRS after the professional development program. SEPSRSAF supported these findings by revealing that SRSTP allowed teachers to change their efficacy sources from indirect experience to active experiences and improve personal characteristics such as showing empathy. It was also found that teachers' perceptions of teaching SRS shifted towards teacher-related factors after SRSTP. These findings were discussed, and the contribution of the results was explained.
Researching groupwork
Authors: McDermott Fiona
Published: December 2023

The focus of this paper is on providing a frame for developing research designs for groupwork practice. Two designs are described – one referring to the researcher who adopts an ‘outside’ location, and the other for an ‘insider’ or researcher-group-work-practitioner. Issues of epistemology, methodology, ethics and methods are raised, as are considerations of existing gaps in research knowledge. Practitioners and researchers are encouraged to think more creatively about the kinds of methods which could be used when approaching such a dynamic, complex and fascinating subject as the workings and benefits of group participation.
CHALLENGING FAMILIAR ASSUMPTIONS Preparing for and initiating a self-directed group
Authors: Mullender Audrey , Ward David
Published: December 2023

The self-directed groupwork approach aims to empower group members to set their own goals for external change. The membership of self-directed groups is often, voluntary and non-selected. In this paper, the preliminary stages of the approach are examined in detail and are contrasted with more conventional groupwork methods. A key feature of self-directed groupwork is that workers must begin by thrashing out an agreed and explicit value position from which their practice will flow. They then embark upon a process of ‘open planning’ in which, rather than making all the initial decisions for the group, they hand over as much responsibility as possible to the members. Neither the length of the group nor the frequency of meetings is pre-determined; members themselves decide on the timing and location of meetings. The conduct of the group is also negotiated by workers and members together. The message to be conveyed is that the group belongs to its members right from the start.Publisher’s note: We are now putting all back issues of Groupwork on line.

Practice education and the pandemic
Authors: Short Christopher
Published: December 2023

The corona virus pandemic presented a significant disruption to social work education (Wolf et al, 2020; McLaughlin et al, 2020). Research that emerged from the pandemic offers valuable insight into the possibilities for students and the efficacy of new virtual teaching methods. Yet our current understanding lacks the perspective of the practice educator, tasked with navigating students through placement. This article outlines the findings of a practitioner research project that sought to understand the experiences of practice educators within one Teaching Partnerships of the south eastern region of England during the pandemic, and the role technology played in delivering social work education virtually. Within this qualitative study data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with four independent practice educators. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Practice educators encountered phenomena on placement that generated considerable uncertainty and disruption. Educators then sought to ‘make sense’ of the interaction between these phenomena and the emotional experiences they evoked. As physical access to the practice learning context was prohibited, practice educators also found themselves engaged in finding creative means to becoming digitally present.
Constructing and scaffolding intuition for students entering the People Professions.
Authors: Sturman-Coombs Robin
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Intuition is a regarded as a below awareness method of reasoning information which, then brought to the consciousness, allows for rapid judgements (Cook, 2014; Fook, 2012) Intuitive reasoning is a profound aspect of decision making in the People Professions, professionals who are at the forefront of working with children, young people and families where there is often high stress, risk and profound vulnerabilities. More recently, the work of these professionals has attracted a significant amount of attention, emphasised by tragic high-profile cases. This research explores how academics construct and teach intuition to students entering the People Professions. This research presents an eclectic and generalised set of ideas of how academics construct intuition, what impacts this and some emerging approaches to teaching intuition (Sipman et al, 2019).  

 

Methodology: This research focuses on a pilot study whereby data was collected through a focus group of academics (n=5) who all teach students entering the People Professions. The focus group has been transcribed and analysed by way of Critical Discourse Analysis.

 

Conclusion: Initial suppositions suggest multiple inter-connected factors influencing the construction and teaching of intuition by academics, with bias and reflexivity being dominant themes. These are critically analysed in detail throughout this paper.
Health professional graduate perspectives of practice education during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Thomas Yvonne , Frank Helen , Grant Terri , Lees Rebecca , Neil Lotoya
Published: December 2023

Introduction: COVID-19 created a need to rapidly adapt practice education placements to minimise the impact on students’ progression to graduation. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy students at one university completed their final practice education placement between April and May 2020, during the period when health care was urgently adapting to the developing pandemic.  

Aim: This study explored the impact of this final placement on new graduates, following their employment. 

Method: 10 students took part in 3 online focus groups to share their experiences and perceptions of the impact on their preparedness for professional practice  

Results: Four themes emerged from the analysis of transcripts including: 1. Coping with uncertainty, 2. Rising to the challenge, 3. Developing skills and competence and 4. Readiness for employment in the “new world” of practice. Overall, the study demonstrates the resilience of students in response to these unusual circumstances. Strategies including peer support, demonstration of learning, and client-centredness increased confidence and the development of professional identity. 

Conclusion: Graduates identified both positive and negative experiences of placement during COVID-19, but overall felt proud that they had demonstrated resilience and developed skills relevant to their current employment as professionals.
Going soft on soft skills
Authors: Martin Priya , Argus Geoff , Kondalsamy-Chennakesavan Srinivas , Kumar Saravana
Published: December 2023

Much has been documented about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on hard skill development (i.e., skills and knowledge) during clinical placements. Little is known, especially from a student supervisor perspective, on the impacts of the pandemic on soft skills (e.g., communication, teamwork) during student clinical placements. A mixed methods online survey was administered to healthcare workers in 2021. The survey collected textual data from 216 respondents through 22 questions. Using a hybrid content analysis approach, data were analysed deductively using the Canadian Interprofessional Competency Framework domains, and inductively. Three categories were developed namely reduced access impairing soft skill development, adjusted learning experiences strengthening soft skills, and telehealth being a barrier to soft skills. Student supervisors, healthcare organisations, and policy makers can use this information to guide new graduate support plans, additional learning strategies, appropriate telehealth infrastructure, and staff training to promote soft skills. Collectively, these measures can be useful in ensuring future pandemic preparedness.
Exploring workforce retention in child and family social work
Authors: Houston Stan , Knox Stephen
Published: December 2023

Child and family social work in the United Kingdom is facing a staff recruitment and retention crisis in many areas. Occupational stress, burnout, heavy workloads and insufficient resources combine to make the social work role highly demanding and unattractive to prospective recruits. This paper explores one approach to the problem which synthesises Giddens’ philosophical ideas on discursive consciousness, Habermas’ precepts on moral discourse, Boal’s use of empowering theatre and Lewin’s rendition of the action research cycle. These theoretical, philosophical and methodological components, when combined, offer a radically different approach to staff retention strategies within child welfare organisations by centring on the transformative power of human agency. It is concluded that the approach described can be extrapolated to the management of other human service professions experiencing similar recruitment and retention difficulties.
The Lambeth Wellbeing and Happiness Programme
Authors: Smith Lucy F. , Corlett Sarah K
Published: December 2023

Understanding of what promotes mental health and wellbeing and its importance for educational attainment, productivity, reducing crime, positive health behaviours and quality of life is improving (Foresight, 2008; HM Government, 2010a). Individuals can act on their own account (Aked et al, 2008), but public sector organisations could take more advantage of the ‘feel good – do well’ dynamic, not only as employers but as policy makers, commissioners and service providers. Building on the capabilities and resources of individuals and communities also offers institutions an opportunity to mitigate financial and policy constraints. This paper describes an approach to public mental health in an inner London borough and the opportunities for, and barriers to, strategic change. Results are encouraging but emphasise the importance of taking a long view, senior leadership, dedicated capacity for cross-sector coordination, evidence and measurement, dogged persistence, and a balance of vision and opportunism.
After you’d gone
Authors: Jacobsen Pamela , Hopkinson Patrick , McIvor Ronan , Carson Jerome
Published: December 2023

Mental health professionals often move across services in the National Health Service (NHS) as a result of organizational change. However, little is known about the impact this has on people who are in receipt of psychiatric services (service users). We conducted an exploratory qualitative study into the experiences of service users under a community mental health team following a service restructure. Nine service users took part in face-to-face interviews, which were subsequently analysed following the principles of Grounded Theory. We found that service users were affected by their consultant leaving in a variety of ways, ranging from grief reactions to improved self-efficacy. We concluded that service users can be significantly affected by their consultant leaving, and this should be taken into account when planning restructures of mental health services.
