Authors: Siahaan Leroy Holman , Rahmat Aceng , Nuruddin Nuruddin
Published: June 2023

The use of collaborative tactics based on Moodle is quite effective in assisting students in improving their reading comprehension. Moodle is an online education platform that creates a unique learning environment for students to learn in. Students are split into two groups based on their attitudes toward information from outside sources: field-independent learners and field-dependent learners. The Independent Learner has a self-sufficient mentality and is not depending on others. The dependent learner, on the other hand, is a student who is completely reliant on the people or her immediate surroundings. The goal of this research is to see how collaborative techniques based on Moodle and Cognitive Styles affect students' reading comprehension. It divides the participants into two groups at random: an experimental group that received CSR through Moodle, and a control group that received CSR without Moodle. The GEFT (Group Embedded Figures Test) is used to see if the participants' cognitive styles are field-independent or field-dependent. Furthermore, a two-way ANOVA and descriptive test are used to analyze the data. The results of ANOVA test revealed that the learners' reading comprehension was influenced by CSR and cognitive styles. This study suggests that English teachers use Moodle for CSR with cognitive types to help students improve their reading comprehension. Finally, the descriptive test's average differences revealed that CSR with Moodle is better for learners with independent cognitive styles than for those with dependent ones. CSR without Moodle, on the other hand, is best for dependent learners.

Authors: Suherman Andri
Published: June 2023

The present study aims at examining EFL teachers’ perceptions of Language Assessment Literacy (hereafter LAL) in the context of Indonesian higher education. To this aim, purposive sampling technique was employed to select sixteen EFL university teachers to participate in an online questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The finding showed that the participants had applied six types of LAL in their teaching practices with formative assessment methods and test validity and reliability being the two most applied (more than 80%) by the participants. Following this, between 75% and 80% participants had applied two other types of LAL, linguistics competence and test results. The last two types of LAL, digital literacy and grading criteria, were applied by less than 70% participants. Another finding from qualitative data revealed that the majority of participants (over 70%) ranked their level of LAL knowledge and skills as low. Despite some limitations, the present study provides some implications including the necessity for the EFL teachers to be equipped with relevant knowledge and skills to make the way for quality assessment. It is therefore university authorities should organize professional development programs with the purpose to help teachers improve their assessment literacy. In addition, all educational parties should collaborate to consistently conduct literacy assessment projects throughout teachers’ professional career. Some suggestions for future research in the field of language assessment are also presented.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo propor uma leitura de Hedda Gabler, peça de Henrik Ibsen, a partir da filosofia de Jacques Rancière. Para isso, consolida-se mediante o adensamento reflexivo em três pontos principais de sua filosofia: o caráter ausente da paternidade da letra órfã, a tirania da intriga como uma questão familiar e o teatro dos pensamentos. Depois, a reflexão parte para aspectos da peça relacionados à masculinidade, à paternidade, à maternidade e ao terceiro silêncio de Hedda, analisado por Toril Moi. Pretende-se, por fim, enredar as dimensões da obra e da filosofia de Rancière, de modo que seja possível concluir se a filosofia de Rancière resiste a uma análise que busca se aproximar de outras formas de produção de conhecimento acerca da peça, para que seja viável extrair delas inspiração no que diz respeito ao engendramento de uma forma filosófica de ler obras de arte.
análise do conceito de ousia em Aristóteles
Authors: Leite de Moraes Gerson
Published: June 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever e analisar o conceito de ousia na Metafísica de Aristóteles. Para realizar o exercício reflexivo mencionado, o trabalho em pauta procura mostrar como a ousia aparece na obra do Estagirita, privilegiando inicialmente uma análise a partir dos livros VII, VIII e IX (respectivamente, Dzeta (Ζ), Eta (Η), Teta (Θ)), pois é nesta tríade que Aristóteles se esforça para determinar as causas primeiras, ou seja, os princípios. A ciência do ser enquanto ser, típica ciência dos filósofos, que trata de uma certa universalidade, fato que a distingue das ciências particulares, possibilitará a Aristóteles se distinguir de toda uma tradição filosófica, dialogando com a mesma, mas superando-a através de uma investigação profunda a partir da noção de ousia (substância). Na sequência, o esforço reflexivo recairá sobre o livro XII (Lambda (Ʌ)), que pode ser descrito como um tratado teórico sobre a ousia, pois busca os princípios e as causas das ousiai. Neste sentido, através de um recorte epistemológico e metodológico, almeja-se evidenciar de maneira sucinta, a exposição aristotélica sobre a substância sensível e a substância suprassensível.
relação entre fé e finitude em Lutero e Kierkegaard
Authors: Schmaelter Matheus Maia
Published: June 2023

O presente artigo visa, sob uma perspectiva existencial e fundamentada na tradição cristã, refletir a respeito da problemática relação entre a fé e a finitude, de modo a apontar que a primeira só encontra-se plena na experiência da finitude, no que denominamos no título de retomada do mundo. Para isso, primeiramente analisamos a chamada theologia crucis, de Lutero, apresentada no Debate de Heidelberg, em que o reformador alemão defende, em posição crítica à escolástica, que o conhecimento de Deus só é possível naquilo que é visível, a saber, o Cristo crucificado. Em seguida, vemos como Kierkegaard, através do pseudônimo Johannes de Silentio em Temor e tremor, descreve a experiência da fé como um duplo movimento de resignação e retomada, caracterizando a fé no interior de uma experiência existencial paradoxal, que vive na tensão entre a finitude e a infinitude.

Background:

Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults. Extracranial metastases are very rare, been described in the lungs, soft tissue, or the intraspinal space.

Case Description:

Through a PubMed-based bibliographic search, the authors reviewed the cases reported in the literature to date, emphasizing the epidemiology and pathophysiology of this rare condition. A clinical case of a 46-year-old man with an initial diagnosis of gliosarcoma, who received complete surgical and adjuvant treatment and later recurred as GB with incidental finding of a lung tumor, whose pathology reported metastasis of the primary, is illustrated.

Conclusion:

Understanding the pathophysiology, it is likely that the incidence of extraneural metastases may continue to increase. Considering improvements in diagnostic techniques that allow early diagnosis, as well as advances in neurosurgical therapy and multimodal management with the aim of improving patient survival, the period in which malignant cells can spread and form extracranial metastases could increase. When screening should be performed to detect metastases in these patients is still not clear. The neuro-oncologists should pay attention to the systematic survey for extraneural metastasis of the GB. Timely detection and early treatment improve overall quality of patients’ life.
PSYCHOLOGICAL METHODOLOGY OF PERFORMANCE IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Karpovets Maksym
Published: June 2023

The article substantiates the nature and perspective of performance theory in psychology within the educational process of a higher school, which assumes the presence of three aspects: performance as an existential situation of trust, performance as an active and dynamic interaction between participants, and performance as a common field for creating values and meanings. The author states that the application of performance theory in psychology changes not only the course of education in higher education, but also provides an opportunity to turn the educational process into an experience necessary for further professional and individual socialization. Also, looking at learning as a performance opens up psychological possibilities for a special kind of therapy, when participants together invent new roles and scenarios, going beyond the boundaries of trauma and disorders. The article shows that performance as an existential situation of trust is a necessary step in creating a comfortable environment for further interaction between students (group) and teacher (moderator). The concept of mimetic inversion is proposed as a bodily-emotional imitation of role models for the purpose of reproducing certain scenarios. The next step is an active and dynamic interaction between the participants of performance, which involves a special kind of thinking and physical activity. Demonstration and ritualization of performative actions is fundamental in the performative activity between the participants of the educational process. The third component involves the performative assimilation of both professional and life values and meanings, bringing the educational process as close as possible to life. The main conclusions of the article are that the psychological methodology of performance not only changes the type of activity, but also the nature of thinking and understanding. The educational process as a performance completely changes the approach to learning and the role of participants, where the main thing is how knowledge is invented and transmitted. The performative role of the teacher is to dialectically (experimentally and normatively) involve students in a special type of performative activity that imitates life experience through imitation and repetition. A promising direction of research is the implementation of the psychological methodology of performance in the processes of understanding, in particular at the cognitive, metacognitive level and the «moderator-group-process» and «moderator-personality-process» systems.
