Sistema de Seleção Unificada: O que a pós-graduação stricto sensu tem pesquisado?
Authors: Campos Isabella Araújo , Emmendoerfer Magnus Luiz
Published: July 2020

Este artigo analisou a política de acesso ao ensino superior do Sistema de Seleção Unificada (SiSU) idealizada e implementada no Brasil. A escolha deste tema refere-se à importância política, econômica e social do acesso da população a esse nível de ensino. Para tanto, em termos metodológicos, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática no banco de teses e dissertações sobre o tema da CAPES, cuja escolha foi motivada pela centralidade da CAPES como principal agência de fomento à pós-graduação no Brasil, bem como devido a incipiência das publicações científicas sobre o tema. A partir dos resultados, verificou-se que, apesar de ter diminuído o número de dissertações defendidas em 2015 e em 2017, não se pode afirmar que as discussões sobre o assunto esteja se esgotando, já que são poucas as Instituições envolvidas. Por meio da análise temática, pode-se inferir, que o SiSU não trouxe consequências positivas para o preenchimento das vagas, entretanto nas demais análises, os resultados foram divergentes, por isso serão necessárias mais pesquisas na área para que se possa fazer inferências mais precisas. Os resultados desta pesquisa visam contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento do debate sobre políticas públicas de acesso ao ensino superior em países emergentes e em desenvolvimento no hemisfério sul.
An examination of the bidirectional relationship between federal civil rights guidance and research
Authors: Lewis Maria M. , Kern Sarah
Published: July 2020

As the primary agency responsible for enforcing federal civil rights laws in the educational context, the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issues policy guidance to help ensure that school districts and universities understand their legal obligations. These policy guidance documents have direct connections to topics studied by educational researchers (e.g., disproportionality in special education, race conscious admissions policies in higher education, transgender student inclusion, etc.). However, we do not have an empirical understanding of how this guidance is used by the research community. Nor do we have a strong grasp on the extent to which this guidance is explicitly informed by research. It is important to acquire an empirical understanding of the bidirectional relationship between research and educational policy in the context of civil rights enforcement in order to determine areas of strength and those in need of improvement. Specifically, this study poses the following research questions: 1) How often and in what ways do scholars explicitly use OCR policy guidance to inform their research? What are the characteristics of this research? 2) Conversely, how often and in what ways does OCR explicitly use research to inform policy guidance? What are the characteristics of research cited in OCR guidance?

Authors: Gomonwattanapanich O. , Pannucharoenwong N. , Rattanadecho P. , Echaroj S. , Hemathulin S.
Published: July 2020

In this paper, the ride performance of a vehicle with active suspension and Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller has been studied and is compared to the performances of a traditional passive suspension system. The study includes variables that are related to a passenger’s comfort: vertical position, vertical velocity, pitch angle, pitch velocity, roll angle, and roll velocity. The performances of the two systems are evaluated by maximum values and root mean square (RMS) of the variables when riding on a sinusoidal road profile. The simulation results show that the vehicle with active suspension and LQG controller performs better than passive suspension system where the maximum values decrease by 85.77%, 92.73%, 50.31% 86.83%, 89.41%, 43.28%, and RMS values decrease by 88.59%, 92.36%, 42.99%, 87.61%, 90.85%, and 42.79% for vertical position, vertical velocity, pitch angle, pitch velocity, roll angle, and roll velocity, respectively.

Evolución de la pandemia COVID19 en las regiones andinas del Perú
Authors: Tello-Ayllón Carlos Alberto
Published: July 2020

La pandemia COVID19 en el Perú, según el Comunicado N°79 del Ministerio de Salud de fecha 27 de abril del año 2020, reportó 28 699 casos y 782 fallecidos, siendo las regiones de Lima, Lambayeque, Loreto y Piura, las que presentaron una mayor dificultad de manejo de esta enfermedad. Sin embargo, esto no sucede en las regiones andinas del sur de nuestro país, en el cual las cifras señalan un porcentaje alto de personas asintomáticas o que han evolucionado de manera favorable a la enfermedad. El ejemplo más resaltante es Puno en donde, según los comunicados del Ministerio de Salud, desde su primer caso identificado el 7 de abril del 2020 ha mantenido un crecimiento exponencial en su tasa de contagios; sin embargo, todos sus casos fueron asintomáticos. En el Cusco, la Sala de Situación COVID-19 de la Dirección Regional de Salud reportó que existieron 195 casos confirmados y solo 3 personas hospitalizadas en sala COVID y 1 en UCI COVID, registrando 4 fallecidos, de los cuales 3 fueron de nacionalidad extranjera. En Ayacucho, se tiene referencia que todas las personas afectadas por COVID19 se encuentran estables o con una evolución favorable de esta enfermedad. Existe evidencia que en otras regiones como el Tibet en China y en Bolivia, que tienen similares características geográficas, también existió una evolución favorable de la pandemia.

Actuaciones del profesorado ante el bullying en contextos con y sin Equipos de Ayuda. Estudio en España y Brasil
Authors: Avilés Martínez José María , Paulino Tognetta Luciene R. , Petta Daud Rafael
Published: July 2020

La prevención del acoso en la escuela supone implicar a quienes conviven juntos en ella en actuaciones para erradicarlo. La posición moral del profesorado ante el fenómeno aun siendo decisiva no es suficiente ya que se le hace imprescindible una actuación coherente y una gestión de los casos apropiada, donde además se implique al alumnado como protagonista en la resolución mediante la colaboración en la mejora del clima de convivencia y en la prestación de ayuda a quienes son maltratados por sus iguales. Esta investigación compara respuestas de profesorado (721) y alumnado (1.068) de España y Brasil de centros con y sin estructuras de apoyo entre iguales (Equipos de Ayuda). El profesorado responde ante un instrumento que mide su posición moral ante el bullying y el alumnado revela las actuaciones de su profesorado ante el acoso a partir del instrumento Insebull. Se observa entre el profesorado una mayor adhesión a posiciones morales ante el bullying en contextos en que funcionan estructuras de apoyo entre iguales que en los que no tienen. El alumnado percibe una mayor intervención del profesorado sobre el acoso entre el profesorado español que entre el brasileño donde actúan otras figuras. En conclusión se hace necesario implementar entre el profesorado una mayor concienciación sobre la importancia de su papel en la prevención y resolución del bullying y desarrollar y generalizar estructuras de apoyo entre iguales como los Equipos de Ayuda en los centros educativos, como medida preventiva del acoso y para la mejora del clima escolar entre estudiantes.
Estereotipos sobre el envejecimiento, temores y percepción sobre la felicidad: un análisis sociodemográfico
Authors: López Fernández Verónica , Salessi Solana , González Restrepo Karen Johana
Published: July 2020

La presente investigación se orientó a explorar las vinculaciones entre los estereotipos negativos sobre el envejecimiento, los temores respecto a la vejez, la satisfacción con la vida y ciertas características sociodemográficas. Con tal propósito, se diseñó un estudio empírico cuantitativo transversal, de alcance descriptivo-correlacional. Se conformó una muestra de 314 españoles (74% mujeres; Medad= 38 años), seleccionados según un muestreo por disponibilidad. Los participantes respondieron una selección de instrumentos para medir los constructos bajo estudio. Sobre los datos reunidos se ejecutaron análisis descriptivos y correlacionales. Los resultados muestran que no hay diferencias en ninguna de las variables estudiadas en función del sexo, pero sí se observan mayores estereotipos negativos entre quienes conviven con adultos mayores. La edad se asocia negativamente tanto a los estereotipos y temores como a la satisfacción con la vida. Finalmente, los estereotipos negativos sobre el envejecimiento se vinculan con menores niveles de satisfacción vital proyectada a cinco años. Se discuten los hallazgos y señalan direcciones para futuros estudios en el área.

Contenidos de enseñanza de fracciones en 6to de primaria, México: Un análisis interconductual
Authors: Hernández-Rodríguez César , Bazán-Ramírez Aldo
Published: July 2020

El presente trabajo tuvo por objetivo analizar desde la taxonomía de Ribes y López (1985), los contenidos de la enseñanza de fracciones matemáticas en sexto grado de primaria. A partir de los aprendizajes esperados propuestos en los planes y programas para trabajar fracciones, además de realizar una revisión del libro de desafíos matemáticos 6to grado, se identificaron los ejercicios que los estudiantes tienen que realizar al trabajar con el tema de fracciones. Posterior a la revisión, se clasificaron los contenidos de acuerdo con la taxonomía funcional. Partiendo de la idea que las matemáticas se deberían trabajar desde niveles sustitutivos, al contar con su propio medio de contacto convencional, se pretendía encontrar actividades que promovieran dicho nivel de desligamiento funcional. Como principales resultados se encontraron: 1. Las actividades que promueven los libros no están de acuerdo con los aprendizajes esperados planteados en los planes y programas, 2. Las actividades en el libro de texto, así como los aprendizajes esperados resaltados en el plan y programa de estudios, corresponden a actividades de enseñanza y de aprendizaje de niveles más simples de desligamiento funcional de acuerdo con la taxonomía funcional asumida. Estas actividades en su mayoría de tipo procedimental, correspondería a un nivel de desligamiento de tipo suplementario.

Tourism geography: functional structure and role in tourismology
Authors: Bordun Oresta Y. , Romaniv Pavlo V. , Monasryrskyy Wolodymyr R.
Published: July 2020

The objective basis of tourism as a phenomenon of social life makes it a complex, multi-faceted object of scientific knowledge. Geography was one of the sciences that has studied tourism since it became a phenomenon of human existence and has initiated an innovatory scientific direction, that is tourism geography. We researched the theoretical approaches to the definition of the notion tourism geography, tourism studies and tourismology as integral notions in the scientific discourse regarding the study and research on tourism. We determined the main legal, organizational, natural, socio-economic, humanitarian and other basics of the geography of tourism which are orientated at provision of dynamic development in the sphere in general. Modern traditions and tendencies of the European school of tourism studies, novel scientific orientations in the block of adjacent disciplines were evaluated and the authors` interpretation of the functional structure of the direction “Tourism geography” are presented. We determined the integral character of the theory of tourism geography with its characteristic structural changes due to the multi-functionality of scientific directions, because tourism geography is a complex naturalecological-socio-economic system which covers geographical, ecological, socio-cultural, economic, political, organization-legal and other aspects, processes and phenomena is related to comfortable and safe recreation. The position of tourism geography in the system of sciences and scientific disciplines with updated notion-category apparatus were characterized. We determined the peculiarities of the structural-functional scheme of the touristic sphere (use of the natural and cultural-historical resources – providing touristic services – obtaining economic profits). We should note the increasing attention to the ecological problems of tourism geography, balance of the social, ecological, economic components at different levels of territorial organization of the touristic process.
Military landscapes of the Pryvododilni Gorgany as a premise for increasing tourist attractiveness of the area (the case of the Chorna Klyva mountain)
Authors: Halahan Oleksandr O. , Kovtoniuk Olha V. , Korohoda Natalia P. , Braychevskyy Yulian S.
Published: July 2020

The article examines the potential of military landscapes for promoting environmentally sustainable forms of active tourism (aimed at both natural sightseeing and military history of the area) in the Ukrainian Carpathians region focusing on the case of military landscapes of the mountain Chorna Klyva (the Bratkivskyi Ridge of the Pryvododilni Gorgany). The line of fortifications, which constitute their basis, used to belong to the so called “St. Laslo Line” built in 1939-1943 on the remains of the World War I fortifications. These fortifications (the system of trenches) were built in the upper parts of the mountain slopes allowing ideal observation of the lower areas and ensuring fire superiority along the border (at the time it was a border between Czechoslovakia and Poland. These trenches were designed in a way to organically use natural landscape features for both engineering and tactical purposes. Absence of intensive fighting as well as slow speed of natural recovery in that particular area contributed to a good state of their preservation often noted by occasional trail hikers. The goal of this article is to analyze both historical and natural conditions in which those landscapes have evolved as well as assess their current state. We discuss the prospects of promoting those landscapes as tourist attractions combining elements of natural scenery and sites of historical interest. The analysis is based upon historical geographic approach coupled with the original field observations. The article examines the most important features of those military landscapes, which can be used for tourism promotion in the area. An overview of comparable international experience in promoting military landscapes as tourist attractions is given to emphasize the potential of the area in question, which so far has been neglected by local communities and tourism businesses alike. We point out the factors limiting tourist flows, yet, at the same time, we argue that promotion of military landscapes will boost the number of visitors in the area generating demand for tourist services, hence promoting small business development. We argue that boosting such forms of tourism can bring positive effect to local communities and promote the area between Svydovets and Pryvododilni Gorgany ranges in the Chorna Tysa river basin for better preservation of the unique natural and historical sights. For the first time, a comprehensive study of historical events and natural landscapes in a specific area at the Chorna Klyva mountain has been performed with the focus on how human activities have conjoined with the natural landscape processes resulting in what we now call military landscapes. The obtained results prove that these military landscapes are of significant natural and historical value and can be successfully promoted as tourist attractions.
Hercynian folded structures in the valley of the Mokra Volnovaha River as the basis of a Geological park at the border of the Donbas and the Ukrainian Shield
Authors: Manyuk Volodymyr V.
Published: July 2020

The basin of the Mokra Volnovaha River, from the Mykolaivka village to the place where it flows into the Kalmius River, exposes an extremely informative geological cross-section of the conjunction of the Pryazov block of the Ukrainian Shield (US) with the complexly located Donetsk Hercynian structure. The results of the survey of this area are presented and the perspectives for creation of the MafHaia Geological Park named after the important paleo-volcanic structure are substantiated. The most significant events related to the geological studies of the regions from the academic expeditions of Pierre Guillaume Frédéric Le Play, P. S. Pallas to nowadays are considered in historic sequence. The structural-tectonic position of the territories, mineral-petrographic peculiarities of the rocks of the prospective geopark were studied and great geodiversity important for the development of the geotourism as an important component of functioning of geopark was determined. We followed sequential change in the geological cross-section from the association of Maksymivski granodiorites of the Middle Archean East-Pryazovska StructuralFormation Zones of the Ukrainian Shield in Mykolaivka village, terrigenous and volcanic formations of the Devonian system which are embedded on them and belong to the Eifelian, Givetian, Frasnian and Famennian stages, to terrigenous carbon-bearing deposits of Carboniferous system which form large rock outcrops on the Left Bank of the Styla water reservoir and outcrops in the quarries for extraction of flux limes and dolomites. It is proposed to consider as highly relevant the principally new “Balanced structural-geologic map of the Southern Donbass” proposed by V. V. Yudin, based on fracture-block tectonics, thrust faults which caused pre-fault mélanges and duplexes. The most characteristic peculiarities of the geological structure of the Rozdolne Geological Reserve as the main location of the future geopark were determined. As the one of the main attractions of geotourism itineraries, we evaluated the unique Devonian flora of global significance in the Velyka Karakuba (Rozdolne) village, particularly Archaeopteris archaetypus Schm., Archaeopteris fissilis Schm., Lepidodendron karakubense Schm., Demeripteris fasciculate Schm. and others, first in history discovered in 1894 by I. O. Shmal’gauzen. An important peculiarity of the zone of the junction of the US and the folded Donbas is its attractiveness for collecting minerals, including crystals and druse amethyst, smoky quartz, druses of pyrite, pseudomorph on corals, chalcedony, pseudo stalactites with marcasite, small agates, pink quartz, sanjuanite, fulgurite and others.
Assessments of national tourism development in terms of sustainability and inclusiveness
Authors: Popova Olga L. , Koval Viktor V. , Mikhno Inesa S. , Haltsova Olga L. , Asaulenko Natalya V.
Published: July 2020

The increase in global population movement and the development of tourism are connected with the development of transport and other infrastructures. Therefore, funds flow and capital migration increase, while it is possible to accumulate funds with the help of tourism, as well as to increase the GDP of countries, infrastructure and climate of which are attractive for tourists. Two hypotheses about the impact of tourisms on the environment are confirmed: positive and negative effects. A new approach of a “solidarity tourism” as a specific type of inclusive tourism, which is a process of cooperation between various participants of a tourism industry, is proposed. Solidarity tourism means that rural households, which are not fully involved in tourism services once get the opportunity to intensify their activities in this industry by focusing their service on people with special needs. In this case, a “double benefit” in a context of inclusiveness is achieved: on the one hand, an employment and income from tourism are provided in the rural households as a continuation and diversification of agricultural activity, and, on the other hand, quality tourism services are provided for those with special needs. The inclusiveness of tourism services in Ukraine is more connected with the inclusion of a wide range of rural households in the tourism field than with an accessibility of such services for those with special needs and disabilities. Institutional household sector exceeded the non –financial corporation sector in temporary accommodation and catering provision. Rural tourism becomes more widespread as a kind of economic activity mostly for households, located in environmentally friendly areas. However, Ukraine is among outsiders in terms of tourism due to a range of recent events that creates not very attractive image of the country, imperfection of legislation, the lack of effective actions of the government and insufficient desire to invest in tourism development. This article analyzes macroeconomic performances of rural tourism in the country, the level of the interest of population and communities in creation of a favorable tourism atmosphere. Several recreation points are estimated according to the proposed indicator of the investment attractiveness for tourism and the relevant conclusions are grounded. It was found that there is an ecological depletion of natural resources in Ukraine and no proper funds are invested in their recovery. This situation threatens the ecosystem, preservation of ethno cultural values and the development of tourism potential. At the same time, the meaning of environmental protection and the creation of environmentally friendly places for tourism become more important in the developed countries. There is no government support for the environmentally friendly tourism in Ukraine. Rural households provide hospitality services and improve environmental quality of them by investing their own funds.
Geospatial distribution of gas storage facilities within the East European gas hub
Authors: Rovenchak Ivan I. , Yaroshevych Mariia A.
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this article is to elucidate the existing surplus of underground gas storage facilities of the Western region of Ukraine and to substantiate the possibilities of using gas storages not only for the state domestic needs but also for the needs of foreign importers. The gas storage system of the Western region of Ukraine consists of five gas storage facilities and is the basis for forming the future Eastern European gas hub. To better understand the impact of the geographical factor on the formation of the hub, a mapping method is used, which not only depicts the primary information on the position of the main gas storages but also provides an opportunity to analyze the effect of the location of an individual gas storage as it is used during a particular gas year. In order to evaluate the occupation degree of gas storage facilities, as well as to evaluate the possibilities of maximal use, the article analyzes each gas storage facility separately. There were used such methods as the comparative-geographical method, the idealization method, and the principle of causality in this article. The last is an important tool in the study because it allows the cause-and-effect relationship to be traced between the position of the gas storage and its fullness. Using the comparative-geographical method, two principles are taken into account: the similarity principle and the distinction principle. Using the principle of similarity, the article reveals similar characteristics of individual gas storage facilities, and using the distinction principle - on the contrary, highlights the differences. The core of the gas storage system of the Western region is the Bilche-Volyzko-Uherske gas storage facility - the largest gas storage with the total capacity of 17.050 million m³. It should be the core of the future Eastern European gas hub, as its capacity allows to pump the largest volumes of imported gas. The region’s second-largest gas storage facility, Bohorodchanske, at the time of peak gas pumping for the past gas year, was filled by 65% of its total capacity. The third-largest gas storage facility – Dashawske had the highest percentage of usage for the last gas year. If necessary, this gas storage could be filled up by another 207 million m³ (about 10% of the total capacity) according to the conditions of the previous gas year. Oparske and Uherske gas storage facilities were hardly used for the domestic needs of the previous gas year. The total capacity of these gas storage facilities amounted to 2857 million m³ (1710 million m³ Uherske and 1117 million m³ Oparske) in the past gas year.

Provisional selves, revolving teams & temporary workspaces
Authors: Dunston Emelia
Published: July 2020

When you look at the division of staff responsibilities among student affairs units at most midsize to large institutions, you will see that many professionals have adopted a specialist persona.  This is a common outcome found with the organizational structures used within student affairs. The overlap of roles and responsibilities does not occur, leading to silos.  Silos perpetuate isolation, discourage collaboration, and make advancement difficult for professionals.  To help our field combat this problem, we need to structure our units to develop professionals into generalists.  Blending concepts developed by Ancona & Bresman (2007) and Petriglieri, Petriglieri & Wood (2017), this paper proposes a new workplace model for student affairs professionals that encourages the formation of provisional selves, revolving teams and temporary workspaces.
Tennessee Education Savings Account: Tipping the Scales From Equity to Choice
Authors: Curtin Erin
Published: July 2020

This article provides an analysis of Tennessee’s newly signed Education Savings Account policy, a school choice initiative. The policy provides vouchers, in the form of a debit card, to students in grades K-12 who are at or below 200% of the federal poverty line and are zoned to attend a Nashville, Shelby County, or Achievement School District school. Using the Policy Window Framework the author uncovers that the policy was created in a federal and state-level political convergence, which attempted to place equity at the forefront of the issue. However, using Levin's Comprehensive Education Privatization Framework, we can see that neoliberal ideals of choice and efficiency conquer equity in the finalized policy. The author predicts the outcomes of this new policy using this framework in tandem with 3 case studies: Louisiana Scholarship Program, DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, and Tennessee’s Individualized Education Accounts.
Sexual Violence and Crisis Communication in Higher Education
Authors: Paleka Alexandra Shea
Published: July 2020

In the modern landscape of higher education, Title IX and sexual violence prevention and response are increasingly important to universities. Unfortunately, too often university leaders respond retroactively and poorly to sexual violence on their campuses. Harris (2019) utilizes a unique approach to organizational communication theory to argue that institutions create a rape culture in a society that blames individuals, rather than organizations, for sexual misconduct. Bataille and Cordova (2014) complement this research with a collection of essays advising university leaders how to practice effective crisis communication. Together, these books create discourse around how sexual violence and communication are related to the responses of university leadership and the system of shared governance within higher education. University leaders need to confront their institutions’ participation in producing rape culture and educate themselves on how to perform effective crisis communication around sexual violence.
Culturally Responsive Pedagogy in Mathematics
Authors: Nagasawa Kenta
Published: July 2020

Purpose: This paper is a thematic literature review to examine the current state of research about Culturally Responsive Pedagogy in mathematics. The main themes are students’ perception, teacher education for pre-service teacher and professional development for teachers.

Research methods/ approach: Literature was collected from Eric, which is a research engine of the education field. Also, Google Scholar is used to find articles of major scholars introduced by Dr. Rich Milner, who is the instructor of this course.

Findings: Students faced microaggressions in mathematics class, which discouraged them to learn mathematics. The effect of teacher education was inconsistent in terms of the awareness of culturally responsive pedagogy and lesson plans. Research of professional development mentioned that mathematics was cultural.

Implications for research and practice: It is more interesting to conduct long term or follow-up research to find the teacher’s practice after a taking professional development program. Also, it is critical to expand research scope besides African American and Latino students. Finally, evidence-based research is needed to change the political situation.

Keywords: culturally responsive teaching, mathematics, teacher education, professional development, student’s perception
Analyzing Patterns of Qualified Teachers and the Impact of Teacher Education Requirements in Small Island Developing States
Authors: Jurewicz Nicole , Yeldell Jasmyne
Published: July 2020

This paper analyzes existing patterns in the percentage of qualified teachers in primary school in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) as well as patterns in the current required minimum level of education to teach primary school in those countries. Sustainable Development Goal Target 4.C aims to substantially increase the supply of qualified teachers by 2030, including through international cooperation for teacher training in developing countries, especially least developed countries and Small Island Developing States. Using data from the World Policy Centre and the World Bank, this study finds that in a sample of Small Island Developing States (N = 23) the percentage of teachers who are qualified is lower than the global average (78.1 percent compared to 85.6 percent). When looking at minimum teacher educational requirements for primary education, only 29.2 percent of countries require a Bachelor's degree with training (compared to 48.8 percent globally). This study further aimed to determine whether stricter educational requirements for primary school teachers in SIDS is related to higher literacy rates of ages 15-24 and GDP per capita. No significant relationship between educational requirements and either measure was found using a Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient. However, in a global sample (N = 168), a significant positive correlation between teacher educational requirements and GDP was found. In addition, a marginally significant positive correlation between educational requirements and literacy rate ages 15-24 was found. The results suggest that having qualified teachers and stricter educational requirements may lead to economic and educational benefits, though the results from SIDS-only analyses were inconclusive. This paper also recommends for changes in policy in order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4.C, including the development of a clearer universal definition of qualified teacher and the development of programs to help individuals attain teaching credentials and higher education.
Supporting Non-traditional Students in Online Environments
Authors: Afzal Madison M
Published: July 2020

In ever-evolving electronic learning environments, course retention of students in online courses is significantly lower than those studying in traditional classroom contexts. Through a research synthesis, three major factors seem to impact online course retention: levels of student engagement, the student's ability to self-regulate, and quality teacher interaction and feedback. If any of these factors are missing from the student's online learning experience, it will be more difficult to keep the student engaged in the material, stay motivated, and feel connected to the teacher and other classmates.
World Policy Analysis on Gender Inequality in the Workplace
Authors: Yoo Sora , Liu Yiting
Published: July 2020

Gender inequality is a significant issue in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the national policies affect practice regarding gender equality in the workplace in Eastern Asia. The primary policy-level datasets used in this study are from the World Policy Analysis Center. We examined five variables regarding pay, promotion/demotion, and parental leave by gender. In comparing policies and practices, we found that women are still unequally treated in pay, promotion, and unpaid childcare responsibilities, even with policies intended to positively affect practices in China, South Korea, and Japan. Practices are far behind in achieving gender equality in the workplace.
Revisiting a Long-Lasting Legacy
Authors: Zhang Shiqing
Published: July 2020

This review of literature will address the influences of knowledge of Chinese characters on the reading development of English. This question stems from an increasing number of children of Chinese heritage enrolling in school in the U.S. who wish to gain biliteracy in English and Chinese. On the one hand, bilingualism is acknowledged to be beneficial to young readers’ language and cognitive development. However, on the other hand, the logographic nature of Mandarin Chinese makes it difficult for many educators in the country who only know alphabetic languages like English and Spanish to understand how Chinese-English bilingual readers reconcile two different systems and envision what support they may need.

This review will primarily focus on the basics of Mandarin Chinese and developmental models of the two languages to examine how proficiency in Chinese can transfer to and facilitate the reading development of English. Departing from the comparison and contrast between linguistic features and developmental models of the two languages, this review will investigate contributions of Chinee characters to English word reading at the levels of cognition, morphology, and phonology. While Chinese characters as logograms demand predominantly morphological knowledge than phonological awareness from readers, it is phonological awareness that contributes most to reading English words among beginning readers in kindergarten and first grade.
