Inquiry-based learning: Emirati university students choose WhatsApp for collaboration
Authors: Albers Robyn , Davison Christina J. , Johnson Bradley
Published: January 2018

Considerable research has shown the value of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) regarding student engagement and motivation, depth of learning, and cognitive flexibility. Student collaboration is one component of this approach, since students must communicate and work together inside and outside of class time when engaging with an IBL project. Choosing a mobile learning tool can benefit student collaboration in so far as the tool enables anytime/anywhere collaborative learning. This study looked at how 118 Emirati undergraduate students in a government-sponsored university in the United Arab Emirates chose to collaborate in an IBL semester-long assignment. Unlike some approaches that dictate the technology selection to students (Barczyk & Duncan, 2013; Prescott, Wilson & Becket, 2013), in this project course instructors gave the students autonomy to choose the best mobile learning tools for their group. The study used a mixed-methods approach to collect data on which tools students perceived as best for IBL. Participants were surveyed three times about which tool they preferred for university work: a pre-project survey, a mid-project survey, and post-project survey. Results show that students changed their preferred tool to WhatsApp over the course of the semester. A focus group with each course section provided qualitative data as to why students preferred WhatsApp. The students also delivered poster presentations as to how WhatsApp helped them complete their community-based IBL projects. This study will show how WhatsApp can be a successful mobile learning tool for student collaboration in IBL.
The effects of language simplification and pictures on the ability of Emirati university students to comprehend and solve mathematics word problems
Authors: Causapin Mark , Groombridge Timothy
Published: January 2018

This paper presents a study of Emirati university students learning mathematics in a second language (English). The study focused on students' responses to mathematical word problems in different versions: simpler/more complex versions of the problem in English; an Arabic translation of the problem; and the addition of a picture to support the text of the problem. Our findings suggest that neither language simplification nor pictures significantly affect students' comprehension and performance on word problem assessments; the lexical and syntactic features of the word problems have little effect on their understanding and ability to answer the questions presented to them. In addition, evidence suggests that there is no first-language (Arabic) advantage when answering these assessments. These findings are in line with previous studies that found no evidence that simplifying the language of mathematics tests had a significant positive effect on student performance. Implications on the appropriate theoretical perspectives to use when studying the relationship of language and mathematics learning are discussed. In addition, practical recommendations are presented for instructors and professors in ‘globalist’ multilingual classrooms (Barwell, 2003).
A major choice: exploring the factors influencing undergraduate choices of Communication major
Authors: Mishra Naveen , Ismail Abduraoof Ahmed , Al Hadabi Sanaa Juma
Published: January 2018

This study explores the reasons behind the popularity of majoring in Public Relations as opposed to Journalism or Digital Media among mass communications undergraduates in Oman. It attempts to gain insight into the factors influencing students’ decision-making process in selecting their major. It explores factors such as choice of major and sources of information that shape students’ knowledge and perception of the majors, using variables such as knowledge of job market, knowledge of curriculum, information sources and personal influences shaping major choice and selection. The study confirms that perception of the job market is a crucial factor in the selection of the majors. It also reveals that family plays a crucial role in influencing students’ decision-making process while choosing a major. The study concludes that strengthening the role of the academic advisor and educating students on course content and learning outcomes can increase the acceptance of less popular majors among communication undergraduates. The study is relevant in the context that the falling numbers of student enrolments in some areas of media studies could lead to a decline in teaching and research activities in those areas, in addition to a possible shortfall of specific skilled professionals in the national labour market pool.
Project-based learning in higher education in the UAE: a case study of Arab students in Emirati Studies
Authors: Mohammed Noorah
Published: January 2018

Educational institutions in the Middle East are often criticized for using outdated teaching strategies such as lecturing that promote rote learning and memorization skills rather than life skills such as critical thinking, creativity and innovation which are important for students’ education and their future careers. This applied research paper presents an example of using Project-Based Learning (PBL) in Higher Education as a supplement to traditional lecturing and the benefits of using this approach for teaching and learning. A group of 62 female Arab students studying Emirati Studies at a federal higher institution in the UAE were involved in this classroom-based inquiry which took place over a 14-week semester. Data were collected using quantitative and qualitative methods to examine how effective the PBL approach was in engaging learners, in improving their skills and in helping them achieve the course learning outcomes. The results of the study showed that PBL was useful in helping students develop essential 21st century skills such as critical thinking, team work, problem solving, research skills, presentation skills, interpersonal communication skills, negotiation skills, creativity, and innovation. This research project helps to illustrate and provide evidence of how using PBL as a supplement to traditional lecturing can be a catalyst for an effective and efficient process-oriented quality education where students are active individuals managing their own learning and having fun in the process.

Authors: Alarima C. I.
Published: January 2018

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by Zika flavivirus. This study assessed the level of knowledge of Zika virus disease among pregnant rural women in Ogun State, Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 150 pregnant women. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that 96 percent of the pregnant women had acquired at least primary school education. Seventy four percent of them had a manageable household size of 1-3 persons. Family and friends (68.90%) were the main sources of information of Zika Virus. Awareness score ranged between 1 and 8 with mean score of 1.50. Majority of the respondents had scores less than the mean score indicating low awareness of Zika Virus. The study further revealed that the knowledge score ranged between 1 and 6 with mean score of 1.74. Majority of the respondents had scores less than the mean indicating low knowledge of Zika Virus. Age (β = 0.02,) Education (β = 2.10), awareness (β = 1.19) and information on Zika virus (β = 1.24) were significantly related to their knowledge of Zika Virus. The study concluded that pregnant women had low awareness and poor knowledge of Zika virus disease. The study recommended that government, health sector professionals/practitioners, rural/community leaders should carry a nationwide campaign about the disease and more effective education programmes among people especially in areas where the epidemic of mosquito-borne diseases prevail.

Authors: Dehbandi Ramin , Einifar Alireza , Cheragh makani Helaleh
Published: January 2018

In contemporary houses in Iran, because of changes in the methods of designing and building houses, importance of entrance reduced to such level that now in contemporary houses entrance is just a door. Entrance correlates indoor safe space of house and outdoors. It`s importance lays in controlling entry, exit, territory and hierarchy. Since house owners were satisfied with traditional form of entrance, it is a good idea to learn from them in designing new entrances. The purpose of this research is to find a way for designing appropriate entrances for Iranian contemporary houses. To do this at first 40 traditional houses and 40 contemporary houses in Isfahan and Kashan were selected. These two cities are from margin of desert and the origin of traditional houses of Iran. Analysis showed that blockage of visual and phonic relation, creating a space between outdoor public space and indoor private space, creating access patterns to internal spaces and traits that separate in and out were the most significant properties of traditional entrances. All these traits are ignored in contemporary entrances. Suggestions made for design include creating public meeting space in yard and creating a separate entrance space for each house in apartments.
Islam, Modern Society and Islamic Architecture: The Thoughts of Hijjas Kasturi
Authors: Rasdi Mohammad Tajuddin Mohd , Syazwan Nik
Published: January 2018

Hijjas Kasturi is probably the most well known Malay Muslim architect in Malaysia and in Asia. He  has been in practice for 50 years and is known for many of his iconic building designs throughout Malaysia and the Muslim world. This paper attempts to provide important insights into Hijjas’s ideas of Islam as a religion and its practice in the modern world. With this insight, we can better place his design approach in Islamic architecture as a product of both his modernist ideology bred from his education background and his rootedness into the Malay Muslim social and political contexts. Hijjas has been consistent in his design approach in that he had never given in to the client’s request for a more traditional approach which usually means the revivalistic or eclectic design direction. In an era when the Muslim world is struggling between the extremism of traditional Islam and modern life inn the social and political arena, it is important to look at design as part and parcel of not only an art of building but also a holistic product of the reinterpretation of the religion in a new and progressive light. This research provides Hijjas own thoughts through an interview of which excerpts from that session are used in this paper.

Gostou de algo? Vai curtir? Lá está o coração. Na sociedade da pós-verdade parece que há muitas pessoas cuidando de externalizar o amor, a dor, os medos, as emoções em formato de corações. Corações para além do biológico, que comungam sentimentos públicos, onde para além dos relacionamentos pessoais, compartilham a solidão, a ansiedade, o desamor e as potências do afeto que estão no mundo. Por que um ícone tão antigo está presente com tanta intensidade nos dias atuais? Estamos, ao mesmo tempo em que nos distanciamos de pessoas no segundo de um clique, encontrando outras maneiras materiais e virtuais de expressar as emoções que nos atravessam e que nos fazem humanos?
 
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Coração; redes sociais; afetos.

Did you like something? Will like? There will be the heart. In post-truth society there are people caring to externalize heart-shaped the love, the pain, fears and emotions. Hearts beyond the biological that share public feelings, where in addition to personal relationships, share the loneliness, anxiety, lack of love and the powers of affection that are in the world. Why an old icon is present with such intensity nowadays? Are we, at the same time that distancing ourselves from people in the second of a click, finding other material and virtual ways of expressing the emotions that cross our lives and make us human?

RESUMEN
Los corazones están en las calles, en las redes sociales, en el emoji e en GIFs, en los carteles, en el colectivo, en las producciones artísticas, las consignas de la publicidad y numerosos lugares en los que puede acceder el afecto como una forma de resistencia en tiempos netos. ¿Te ha gustado algo? Podrá disfrutar de? Ahí está el corazón. En la sociedad de la post-verdad parece que hay muchas personas que cuidan de exteriorizar el amor, el dolor, el miedo, las emociones en la forma de corazones. Corazones más allá de lo biológico, que comparten sentimientos públicos, que además de las relaciones personales, comparten la soledad, la ansiedad, la falta de amor y las potencias de afecto que están en el mundo. ¿Por qué un icono de edad está presente tan intensamente hoy? Somos, a la vez que nos alejamos de la gente en el segundo de un solo clic, la búsqueda de otros materiales y formas virtuales para expresar las emociones que se ejecutan a través de nosotros y nos hace humanos?

ESTRANHAMENTOS
Authors: Belinaso Leandro
Published: January 2018

O ensaio abre um conjunto de perguntas sobre a questão multicultural, a partir de alguns textos literários e de duas exposições de artes visuais realizadas no ano de 2016 em São Paulo e Florianópolis. Aborda-se, a partir de autores como Stuart Hall e Edward Said, o aspecto narrativo da questão multicultural, salientando os modos como os romances articulados ao ensaio contam a respeito dos encontros, repletos de estranhamentos, entre heterogeneidades. A partir das imagens artísticas visitadas nas exposições e comentadas no texto indaga-se sobre os estranhamentos que elas incitam. Por fim, defende-se uma pedagogia estranhável nas práticas educativas que se desejam abertas ao outro e provocadoras de rasuras nas presumidas identidades que se imagina habitar.
 
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Multiculturalismo; estudos culturais; pedagogias culturais.
 
 
ABSTRACT
The essay opens a set of questions about the multicultural theme, it uses some literary texts and two exhibitions of visual arts held in 2016, in São Paulo and Florianópolis. The narrative aspect of the multicultural theme is approached based on authors such as Stuart Hall and Edward Said, emphasizing the ways in which the novels, articulated to the essay, speak about the encounters, full of estrangement, between heterogeneities. Based on the artistic images that were visited at the exhibitions and also mentioned on the text, it investigates the estrangements that these provoke. Finally, a “pedagogy of strangeness” is defended in educational practices that wish to be open to others and are provocative of erasures in the apparent identities that is thought to inhabit.

MONALISA, MELHOR NÃO ESCREVER ISSO...: memes em (des)construções
Authors: Andrade Elenise
Published: January 2018

Instigada pela questão proposta pelo dossiê: “Não se trata da pós-construção de verdades objetivas ou subjetivas, formais ou ideológicas, mas de (pós)verdades lúdicas. Há, nas escritas, uma pós-verdade que não seja imediatamente mentira? O que pode a pós-verdade, as escritas e...?” Desescrever é não escrever? É apagar? É descrever? Planos-camadas. “Como é que é Edgar?”, “Tom, melhor não escrever isso”, “Sir Issac, gostaria de publicar essa afirmação?”. Fotografias, frases, pós-produção de sentidos. Monalisa, Monacrespa, Mona que desistiu do Louvre, Mona com um maço de folhas de Cannabis sativa. Dobras de pensamentos. Há algum lugar para uma suposta verdade? Edições ditam algo? Descontinuidade no gesto do ris(c)o. Rir e ar-riscar. Ar no sentido de que é preciso arejar corações e mentes e almas e cadernos e lousas e mídias. Ar que entra-sai e... Movimento rítmico. Gesto imperceptível. E... e... e...

ABSTRACT
I’ve been instigated by the issue proposed by the dossier: “This is not the post-construction of objective or subjective truths, formal or ideological, but of (post-) playful truths. Is there, in the writings, a post-truth that is not immediately a lie? What can the post-truth, the writings and ...?” Is non-writing to write? Is it erase? Is it to describe? Flat-layers. "How is Edgar?" "Tom, you better not write that," "Sir Issac, would you like to publish this statement?" Photographs, phrases, post-production of senses. Monalisa, Monacrespa, Mona who gave up the Louvre, Mona with a sheaf of Cannabis sativa leaves. Folds of thoughts. Is there somewhere for a supposed truth? Do they dictate anything? Discontinuity in the gesture of the risk? To risk in the sense that it is necessary to air hearts and minds and souls and notebooks and slates and media. Air that comes in comes out and ... Rhythmic movement. Imperceptible gesture. And ... and ... and ...

RESUMEN
Impulsada por la pregunta planteada por el dosier: “No se trata de las verdades a posteriori la construcción de objetivos o subjetivos, formales o ideológicas, sino de (post) verdades lúdicas. Hay, por escrito en un post-verdad que no se encuentran inmediatamente? Qué puede hacer el post-verdad, escrita y ...?” Des-escribir no es escribir? Está claro? Usted describe? Planes-capas. "¿Cómo es Edgar?" "Tom, mejor no escribir eso", "Sir Issac, le gustaría publicar esta declaración?". Fotos, frases, post-producción em los sentidos. Monalisa, Monacrespa, Mona dio el Louvre, Mona con un fajo de hojas de la cannabis sativa. Se pliega pensamientos. ¿Hay un lugar para una supuesta verdad? Problemas dictan algo? Discontinuidad en risa-riesco. Reír y aire rascado. El aire en el sentido de que es necesario airear los corazones y las mentes y las almas y los cuadernos y pizarras y medios de comunicación. El aire entra y sale ... movimiento rítmico. Imperceptiblemente. Y ... y ... y ...
