Research progress in the mining technology of the slowly inclined, thin to medium thick phosphate rock transition from open-pit to underground mine
Authors: Li Xiaoshuang , Wang Yunming , Yang Shun , Xiong Jun , Zhao Kui
Published: May 2021

This paper takes the deep ore body of Yunnan Phosphate Group Co. Ltd, the largest open-pit chemical mining enterprise in China, as the research background, and systematically introduces the technical problems recognised by many Chinese researchers in the past eight years on the open-pit to underground mining of gently inclined thin to medium-thick ore bodies with a soft interlayer. It shows that the mining of open-pit transferred to underground is a complex engineering system, and the underground stope surrounding rock and overlying strata present a nonlinear failure process. Through mining process innovation, mining method innovation and improvement, research was undertaken on new processes and technologies for phosphorus mining under complex conditions. The relevant research results not only have important economic value and academic significance for Yunnan Phosphate Group Co. Ltd. but also have important guidance and impetus to the exploitation of a large number of similar phosphate resources in China.

Authors: YUCA Nursevil , AŞUR Feran
Published: May 2021

Üniversite kampüsleri birer eğitim kurumu olmalarıyla birlikte önemli sosyal ve kültürel mekânlardır. Bu alanlar; farklı kültür, sosyal ve etnik yapılara sahip öğrencilerin eğitim süreçleri boyunca ders dışı zamanlarının büyük dilimini geçirdikleri mekânlar olup eğitimciler ve çalışanlar için de sosyal etkileşim açışından büyük önem taşımaktadırlar. Bu nedenle üniversite yerleşkelerinin planlamalarında birçok faktörü göz önünde bulundurmak gerekir. Peyzaj planlama, Avrupa Peyzaj Sözleşmesi tanımına göre; peyzajların geliştirilmesi, iyileştirilmesi ve oluşturulması amaçlı geleceğe yönelik güçlü eylemlerdir. Buna paralel olarak, çeşitli başlıklar altında peyzajların sürdürülebilir planlanmasının öneminden söz etmiştir. Bu çalışmada Van ilinde, Van Gölü’ne kıyısı olan Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi kampüs sınırlarında kıyı alanında seçilen bir alanın kıyı kullanım ilişkilerini inceleyerek peyzaj planı önerisinde bulunulmuştur. Bu anlamda kampüs alanının kullanım amaçları, kullanıcı beklentileri, kıyı kullanımına ilişkin olumlu-olumsuz faktörler gibi konular ele anılarak yapılan değerlendirmeler sonucu peyzaj planı geliştirilmiştir. Bu model kıyı peyzaj planlamasına yol gösterici birer araç olarak kullanılması düşünülmektedir.

La educación geográfica contemporánea, la geografía escolar tradicional y el pensamiento crítico
Authors: Santiago Rivera José Armando
Published: May 2021

El propósito es reflexionar sobre la educación geográfica contemporánea, la geografía escolar tradicional y el pensamiento crítico. Se trata de tres aspectos que facilitan entender las razones de mejorar su calidad formativa, en las condiciones del mundo contemporáneo. Eso supone explicar los fundamentos de la Educación Geográfica, el afecto a la transmisión de contenidos decimonónicos y el incentivo del pensamiento crítico. Metodológicamente se realizó una revisión documental para plantear el análisis sobre la situación de la Educación Geográfica contemporánea, la problemática característica de la geografía escolar tradicional y la necesidad de promover el pensamiento crítico como opción para superar el afecto a la memorización. Se concluye al subrayar la necesidad de superar las contradicciones derivadas de esa relación pedagógica, como impedimento que obstaculiza comprender la complejidad ambiental, geográfica y social globalizada y sus efectos en la calidad de vida de la colectividad mundial.

Vivienda gratuita ¿un regalo insostenible?
Authors: Mendoza Hernández Diana Carolina
Published: May 2021

Las políticas de vivienda social en Colombia han tenido cambios en su concepción hasta llegar al actual modelo de subsidio a la demanda en la construcción y financiación por parte de los privados. En este contexto surge la Política de Vivienda Integral (PVI) y uno de sus programas más controversiales es el Programa de Vivienda Gratuita (PVG). El artículo cuestiona el cumplimiento del programa habitacional 100.000 viviendas gratuitas como planificación de megaproyectos urbanos en un contexto de incertidumbre. Para ello se hace un análisis crítico del PVG y del Plan Nacional de Desarrollo del gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos del 2010 al 2014 y del 2014 al 2018, con ello se realiza la formulación de cinco supuestos que debe cumplir el programa: la vivienda como locomotora del progreso, la gratuidad como oportunidad para la población vulnerable, reducción de la pobreza multidimensional, 100.000 viviendas en dos años a nivel país y vivienda gratuita para el posconflicto. El análisis de cada supuesto arroja unas porosidades o fisuras no previstas en la planificación cuestionando la racionalidad de esta en la contingencia. El artículo concluye con una reflexión sobre la sostenibilidad del programa y puntos de vistas alternativos para su culminación.
Ni phrase ni période ? La séquentialité en question dans la diachronie du français
Authors:   Sorbonne Université (Francia), Siouffi Gilles
Published: May 2021

Este artículo plantea, en primer lugar, la pertinencia de las nociones de frase y período, para abordar la cuestión general de la secuencialidad discursiva. Confrontamos, para ello, diferentes modelos. A continuación, examinamos la variabilidad diacrónica de los usos, y presentamos los diferentes parámetros de orden externo que han de ser tenidos en cuenta para abordar la cuestión de la secuencialidad de un texto. Finalmente, ilustramos la problemática con tres ejemplos de los siglos XVII y XVIII. Concluimos sugiriendo que la modelización gramatical y las prácticas de puntuación son dos maneras «especificadoras» de ver una cuestión constantemente renovada por la diacronía de las prácticas de escritura.
Marqueurs d’oralité en diachronie : tentative de définition
Authors:   Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3 (Francia), Vermander Pierre
Published: May 2021

Este artículo tiene por objeto analizar cómo ha sido tratado el tema de las relaciones entre escritura y oralidad, así como comprender la génesis de los diferentes métodos para su estudio. Este rápido estado de la cuestión permitirá suscitar algunos problemas ligados a varias propiedades de los textos medievales, así como introducir la distancia que queremos adoptar respecto a aquellos métodos de estudio anteriores. Concedemos a la oposición tecnológica una importancia crucial y acudimos al imaginario de los sistemas como herramienta de análisis: ello nos permite llegar a una definición de los marcadores de oralidad como representaciones no equivalentes. Estos marcadores no representan la oralidad porque adopten las propiedades de esta, sino porque la inscriben gráficamente, en virtud de un imaginario de los sistemas de signos.

Les chansons de Boris Vian en bande dessinée
Authors:   Universitat de València (España), Cortijo Talavera Adela
Published: May 2021

Boris Vian se dedicó a la canción a partir de los años 50 para manifestar, con total libertad de expresión y siempre con un toque de humor desacralizante, su pasión por la música. El enfoque elegido para este estudio será el de considerar la adaptación al cómic de las letras de algunas canciones de Vian. Una labor de transposición inventiva realizada por autores reconocidos del noveno arte como Etienne Davodeau o David Prudhomme. Se trata de un estudio intermediático en el que la música se vincula al dibujo y se analizan los mecanismos elegidos de concordancia de estilos y tratamientos que unen el grafismo con el ritmo musical y el uso particular del lenguaje en las letras de Vian.

Yeast α-L-Rhamnosidase: Sources, Properties, and Industrial Applications
Authors: Singh Rajesh Kumar , Singh Pratiksha , Singh Mohini Prabha , Nikhanj Pooja , Sahota Param Pal , Fang Wenxia , Li Yang Rui
Published: May 2021

Yeasts have been used for the heterologous production of a range of enzymes. However, α-L-rhamnosidase production in yeasts as well as its vast potential for biotechnological processes is less reported. α-L-Rhamnosidase is one of the important biotechnologically attractive enzymes in several industrial and biotechnological processes. In food and agriculture industries, the enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of hesperidin to release L-rhamnose and hesperidin glucoside, industrial removal of bitterness from citrus juices caused by naringin, and enhancing aroma in grape juices and derived beverages. In pharmaceutical and chemical industries, this enzyme is used in the structural determination of polysaccharides, glycosides and glycolipids, metabolism of gellan, conversion of chloropolysporin B to chloropolysporin C, and production of prunin. Rhamnosidases are extensively distributed in fungi and bacteria while their production from yeast sources is less reported. Yeast rhamnosidase is very important as it is produced in short-duration fermentation, with enhanced shelf life, high thermal stability, capable of retaining juice flavor, and is non-toxic for human consumption. In this review, an attempt has been made to fill up this gap by focusing on production, purification, characterization, structural and molecular biological studies of yeast rhamnosidase and its potential biotechnological applications. Keywords: Industrial applications, Naringin, Rhamnosidase, Yeast
Acoustic Features of the Surgut Khanty Consonants
Authors: Timkin Timofei V.
Published: May 2021

This paper deals with the acoustic features of the Surgut Khanty consonants. The research is based on the data gathered during fieldwork in Kogalym town (2018) and the Ugut village (2019). The audio samples are provided by three native speakers of the Tromjegan, Malyi Yugan, and Bolshoi Yugan idioms. The total size of the sample database numbers more than six thousand isolated consonant pronouncements. The data for the research was obtained using oscillographic and spectrographic methods, formant locus analysis, spectral moment analysis. The analysis was performed via Praat and Emu-SDMS software. Oscillograghy and spectrography methods reveal that voiceless fricative phonemes may be voiced in intervocalic distribution. It is common for the sonants to become devoiced in the final and preconsonantal positions. Moreover, due to devoicing, different phonemes may acquire low-obstruent and obstruent consonant features. For the fricative, lateral-fricative consonants, affricates spectral moment analysis has been carried out. The spectral moments technique gives an opportunity to represent complex noise data as a relatively small set of numbers that can be processed statistically. According to the data on spectral moments, four types of noise have been defined: high-frequency low-dispersion noise resembling /s/, medium-frequency low-dispersion noise resembling /ʃ/, /tʃ/, /cc/, low-frequency medium-dispersed noise for phonemes /ɫ/, / /, low-frequency dispersed noise for phonemes /w/, /γ/. The forman analysis is used o es ima e onsonan resonan frequen ies. As shown by he formant locus analysis, the smallest values of the second formant locus are associated with the labial and velar phonemes. Larger values are associated with the coronal phonemes. The largest ones are specific to the palatal phonemes. At the same time, the acoustic features make it possible to stably distinguish the nasal /n/ - /ɲ/, wherein the opposition of the middle and fron lingual ar i ula ions is observed only in some speakers’ re ordings for the pairs /ɫ/ - / /, /tʃ/ - /cc/.
Cumulation of Calendars as a Component of Yakut Worldview (Based on the Novel “Iyeem Kepsiir” (“My Mother’s Telling”) by S. S. Maisov)
Authors: Nikolaeva Tatiana N.
Published: May 2021

The article considers the calculation of the narration time using the Russian Orthodox calendar as a regulator of the characters’ life cycle. The ideas of the Yakut people about time correlate with the traditional folk calendar and constitute a holistic cultural unit, which is reduced to regulating the course of life, mainly in accordance with the natural and economic cycle. Taking root in the first half of the ninetieth century, the Russian Orthodox calendar naturally fit into the traditional Yakut calendar, according to which the entire economic annual cycle was measured. This article makes a unique attempt to interpret the representation of time as understood by the Yakut people, indicated by the dates of the saints (or tanaralar) in the Orthodox calendar, coinciding not only with seasonal changes in the nature and agricultural work, but also with the events marked as conceptually important in the memories of the mother, on which the main storyline of the novel is built. It was shown that the calendar’s landmarks and the novel’s main reference points make an organizing axis calling for the author’s own chronotope. The temporal correlation with the depicted life situation of the characters is maintained within the framework of the traditional Yakut calendar, in accordance with the Christian calendar, or along the lines of the concurrency of both time locks. Thus, calendar traditions form an architectonic structure of this work. The novel mentions almost all the days of the saints of the Christian calendar. The author designates them as tanaralar (saints) and arranges the entire calendar following the natural cycle and the traditional economic activities of the Yakut people. However, the designation of the saints’ days (tanaralar) does not always mean one particular day, in other words, events may not be described within one specified day, but during a time cycle or a period before or after the onset of the holy day. Relevant examples were selected with the help of a continuous sampling method from three parts of the novel with a total volume of more than 1000 pages. From Yakut into Russian the examples were translated by the author of this article.
Alexander Shakhnarovich: A Genuine Scholar and a Wonderful Person
Authors: Palkin Alexei D.
Published: May 2021

This article dwells on a number of episodes related to the last years of Alexander Shakhnarovich, an outstanding Russian psycholinguist and a talented academic advisor. Alexander Shakhnarovich is known primarily for his research in child speech. The periodisation of speech development in early childhood he worked out is of particular interest. The article pinpoints that Shakhnarovich’s research was not related solely to speech development in ontogenesis, but elucidated a broader range of issues from those of general theory, like the structure of language consciousness, to those of special purposes, like linguistic expertise in forensics, dialectology, intonation and modality, peculiarities of text analysis, etc. It was Shakhnarovich’s great experience in analysing child speech that helped him to explore other psycholinguistic trends. The scientist proved to be an expert both in psycholinguistic issues that were intertwined with pure linguistics and in the psychology of speech. Alexander Shakhnarovich was a remarkable proponent of Lev Vygotsky’s scientific school whose theoretical insights made in the first half of the 20th century underlay Shakhnarovich’s findings. It is noteworthy that both Shakhnarovich and Vygotsky probed into child speech attempting to make conclusions on language capacity development as a whole and to tap into the fundamental through the applied.
Geographical Lexicon and Toponymy of Staroshentalinsky Dialect of the Erzya-Mordovian Language
Authors: Belenov Nikolai V.
Published: May 2021

This article analyzes the geographical lexicon circulating in the Staroshentalinsky dialect of the Erzya-Mordovian language and the toponymic nomenclature of the village of Staraya Shentala in the Shentala district of the Samara region and its surroundings. Staroshentalinsky dialect belongs to the group of Mordovian dialects of the Samara region, characterized by a significant number of lexical archaisms in particular in the geographical vocabulary. Thus, a number of geographical terms that remain to this day in the dialect of the Erzya-Mordovian population of Staraya Shentala are contained in the oldest known Mordovian lexicographic monuments - the “List of Mordovian words” from the work “Northern and Eastern Tartary” by the Dutch researcher N. Witsen, which dates back to the second half of the 17th century. Vocabulary of the Staroshentalinsky dialect of the Erzya-Mordvin language shows the greatest affinity with the dialects of Erzya and Chuvash Sura region that may indicate the historical territory of the settlement of the native Staroshentalinsky dialect speakers. The structural and comparative analysis carried out in this work has shown that, in general, the toponymic space of the village of Staraya Shentala has the most of the characteristics of the Erzya-Mordovian toponymic spaces. A number of common structural elements for the toponymic nomenclature existing in the dialect in question, with corresponding clusters in other Erzya dialects of the Samara Volga region and the Republic of Mordovia, have been identified. At the same time, a number of unique phenomena are recorded in this toponymic space: both for the Mordovian dialects of the Samara Volga region, and for the Mordovian toponymy as a whole. The deetymologized toponymic bases of the space under study probably go back to the Volga Turkic languages, some of them may be archaic Finno-Ugric toponyms.
Semantic Classification of Russian Alternative Place-Name Etymologies from Trediakovsky’s Three Discourses on Three Most Important Russian Antiquities
Authors: Kalashnikov Alexander V.
Published: May 2021

The research addresses the etymologies of 82 toponyms proposed by the Russian scholar V. Trediakovsky in the mid-1700s book Three Discourses on Three Most Important Russian Antiquities compared with 148 etymologies of the toponyms from The Etymological Dictionary of the Russian Language by M. Vasmer, where the etymologies had been identified under the modern etymological approach. The article argues that the alternative etymologies proposed by Trediakovsky and the toponymic etymologies having been established under linguistic principles possess similarities in terms of general semantic features. Identifying the semantic features of toponyms from the two selections required the classification based on etymological and semantic features, with the principal division into natural and cultural place-names. The research showed that 5 out of 7 semantic features: hydronym, choronym, people’s activity, ethnonym, and type of settlement, corresponded in both selections. The alternative etymologies from the discourses revealed more semantic features related to the climate and soil. The semantic features of flora and fauna, which are part of modern semantic classifications, were found in rare cases in both toponymicons. The research showed that although generally Trediakovsky’s etymologies seemed to contradict the existing linguistic principles, the semantic features remained comparable with those of the place-name etymologies that were compiled at the later stages of scientific thought.
Effects of Materialism on Well-Being: A Review
Authors: Harshmeet Kaur  , Ramanpreet Kaur
Published: May 2021

Materialism as a research topic has gained currency for over past two decades. Studies reveal that in consumer societies, people are trying to capture happiness and satisfaction in the form of possession of luxury goods. Materialism is characterized by a pursuit of wealth taking precedence over higher level needs. Well-being is a comprehensive term for the psychological, physical, social, or economic state of an individual or group. The researchers have found evidence to support the belief that materialism shares a negative relationship with wellbeing. Several researches have documented that materialistic lifestyle is allied with low subjective well-being. In light of past researches, this paper attempts to review the literature to trace this relationship between these two variables. The overall argument of the paper is that materialistic tendencies are detrimental to the well being of an individual. The paper concludes with the research directions to carry the research on materialism and well being forward.
Prosocial Behaviour- A Major Determinant of Helping People in Health Emergency
Authors: Sajithkumar P  , Dr. Ratna Prakash
Published: May 2021

Prosocial behaviour refers to the behaviours that benefit people (Penner, Dovidio, Piliavin, & Schroder, 2005). Prosocial behaviours are performed to benefit others, rather than to benefit the self. Typically, pro-social behaviors are an outgrowth of positive experiences and emotions (Aydinli et al, 2013). Feelings of empathy, compassion, and sympathy are also associated with helping, particularly when individuals recognize a moral obligation to care for others. According to World Health Organization, Pro-social behavior can emerge, however, from traumatic and painful experiences.

Cardiac arrest is a major public health issue, with more than 500000 deaths of children and adults per year even in developed countries. Despite significant scientific advances in care of cardiac arrest victims, there remain striking disparities in survival rates for both in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It is seen that survival can vary among geographic regions by as much as 6-fold for victims in pre-hospital setting. For out of hospital cardiac arrest victims, the key determinants of survival are the timely performance of first responder or bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation for those in ventricular fibrillation and pulse less ventricular tachycardia. Only a minority of cardiac arrest victims receive potentially lifesaving bystander CPR, thus indicating that there should be some hindrances for the first responders from the general public to perform this in the right time (Bhanji et al, 2015).

Stepping Ahead Towards Harmonious Passion: Mediating Role of Self-Compassion
Authors: M. Vinoth Kumar  , Vidhya Shree. S.V
Published: May 2021

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion. Passion is the strong emotion with inherent behavioural tendencies that can be positive as long as reason underlies the behaviour and this can be either harmonious or obsessive in nature. Thus, this view of passion suggests that adaptive benefits will accrue when individuals are in control of their passion (i.e. Harmonious passion). Moreover Self-compassion is found to elicit increased desirable and productive intrinsic motivation and helps individual perceive any activity as enjoyable or engaging. Thus, the present study adds on as a stepping stone which aims at studying the mediating role of Self-compassion in the relationship between Intrinsic motivation and Harmonious passion by incorporating Correlational research design and maximum variation sampling method (type of purposive sampling) in drawing 120 samples of working emerging adults (experience 0 – 3 years). Standardized tools; Global motivation scale (Guay et. al 2003), Self-compassion scale (Raes et. al 2010), Passion scale (Vallerand et. al. 2003) were used. Statistical measures Mean, S.D, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Meditational analysis was used in assessing the data and obtaining the results. And the findings showed that there was a direct effect of 0.192 between Intrinsic Motivation and Harmonious Passion and indirect effect of 0.2793 between the same in presence of the mediating variable Self-Compassion. Thus, it can be concluded that self-Compassion mediates the relationship between Intrinsic Motivation and Harmonious Passion. Self-Compassion training during the initial period of work or even further will help individuals to develop and experience Harmonious Passion attributing to various positive aspects of individual’s life.
A Comparative Study of Punishment in Buddhist and Western Educational Psychology
Authors: Wickrama Kankanamge Don Keerthirathne
Published: May 2021

This paper aims to offer a comparative examination of punishment methods in Buddhist and western education psychology. The Buddhist concept of punishment is more humanistic than punishment in criminology and in western educational psychology. Although the concept ‘punishment’ in western education psychology is somewhat similar to its Buddhist counterpart, I argue there are some lessons that can be taken from Buddhist psychology to direct punishment theories in western psychology towards a more humanistic approach. Most of mental punishments used in western psychology can identify in Buddhist psychology too. Therefore, it can be argued that some punitive methods in western psychology were not newly introduced by western psychologists. When conducting this research, it is expected to do it from critical and analytical perspectives in combination with descriptive and explanatory methods from the study of teachings in Sutta Pitaka and Vinaya pitaka. Furthermore, research works of previous scholars are examined as secondary sources to direct the research paper towards a more critical approach. This research would contribute to the enhancement of the knowledge of teachers, principals, curriculum developers, theory makers and psychologists, at both practical and theoretical level, to use punishment in a proper way and improve the quality of education while children receive and prevent them from dropping out of school.

Emotional Intelligence as Predictor of Mental Health among Chronic Disease Group
Authors: Manju
Published: May 2021

Health is considered a sense of wellbeing, inner happiness, and enthusiasm for living and harmony within self and with others, absence of disorders, conflicts, worries and anxieties. Emotional reactions and experiences affect both physical as well as psychological health. Negative emotional states are associated with unhealthy patterns of physiological functioning, whereas positive emotional states are associated with healthier patterns of responding in both cardiovascular activity and immune system. Taylor (2001) argues that emotionally intelligent people can cope better with life’s challenges and control their emotions more effectively, both of which contribute to good psychological and physical health. So the present study was designed to see the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental health and to see the role of emotional intelligence in mental health. Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Intelligence (MMEI by C. R. Darolia, 2003) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ by Goldberg & Williams, 1988) was used. Sample of the study comprised of 200 chronic patients. Data obtained was analyzed by using co-relation and regression analysis. Results revealed emotional intelligence is positively correlated with mental health and emerged as predictor of mental health.

Developing Effective English Language Teaching Strategies for Non-Native English Speaking Dyslexic Students
Authors: Dr. Rishi Mishra  , Dr. Mohammad Ashraf Shah
Published: May 2021

Dyslexia, or specific reading disability, is a disorder in which children with normal intelligence and sensory abilities show learning deficits for reading. The developments in reading lags behind other academic developments. Achieved reading skill is limited. Reading is slow and non-word reading is impaired. The educational system has difficulties in understanding dyslexia and an even harder time identifying children with dyslexia in order to provide the correct intervention for students who are non – native English speakers. When a school has the added challenge of identifying struggling English language learners (ELLs), the task becomes an even more complicated process, and often, these kids are completely missed. But that does not have to be the case. Children who are learning English are just as likely to have dyslexia as their native-English-speaking counterparts, and there is a way to identify dyslexia in these children. The difference is that dyslexia might appear in the native language quite as vividly as it will when they attempt to learn English. This research paper tries to analyze those teaching strategies which have been very effective in developing English language skills among the non native speakers. It reviews the body of research on difficulties faced by dyslexic students in educational setup and different teaching methods which played an effective role in enhancing the English language learning skills of the students. First, we explore the assessment of comprehension and reading difficulties of these students at initial stages. Next we discuss the methodology used in reviewing the literature on different instructional methods for the students with specific focus on dyslexic students.

Emotional intelligence has been defined as the ability to adaptively recognize, understand, manage, harness emotions both in self and others (Mayer & Salovey 1995; Schutte et al., 1998) and to use emotion to facilitate cognitive processing (Mayer et al., 1999). Emotional intelligence has been conceptualized in the literature both as a relatively enduring trait and as ability (Mayer et al., 2002; Petrides & Furnham, 2006; Schutte et al., 1998). Mayer et al. (2002) & Afolabi (2004) argue that emotional intelligence is not a single trait or ability rather; it is a composite of distinct emotion reasoning abilities. Perceiving emotions consist of recognizing and interpreting the meaning of various emotional states, as well as their relations to other sensory experiences. Understanding emotions involve understanding of how basic emotions are blended to form complex emotions. Regulating emotions encompasses the control of emotions in oneself and in others. An individual’s emotional intelligence is an indicator of how an individual perceives, understands and regulates emotions
Use of Scaffolds to Manage the Cognitive Load Experienced By Student Teachers in an Online Training Package on Problem Based Learning Strategy (PBLS)
Authors: Ms. Vaishali Manoj Sawant
Published: May 2021

Cognitive load refers to load imposed on the working memory while performing a particular task. The basic premise of cognitive load theory is that learners have a limited capacity when dealing with new information. Moreover cognitive load theory assumes that learners have “an effectively unlimited long term memory holding cognitive schemas that vary in their degree of complexity and automation”. Furthermore, when handling new information, working memory is severely limited in both capacity and duration. The educational implication of cognitive load theory hence focuses on reduction of work load on working memory so as to increase learning effectiveness. Because novices lack the schemas necessary to process complex material in working memory, scaffolding for these missing schemas, thereby promotes schema construction. In this study on 41 Student teachers undergoing the online training on Scaffolded Problem Based Learning (PBLS), Cognitive load is measured in terms of mental efforts and mental load experienced by the learners while working towards solutions to the problems. Findings indicate significant difference between the cognitive load felt before and after the training which is also supported by the  qualitative data indicating  reduction in  the cognitive load as the students move from Problem one to Problem ten.
