Social Maturity as a Factor in the Professional Self-Determination of an Adolescent Person
Authors: Huliaieva Olena , Poltavska Kateryna
Published: November 2024

The article presents the results of an empirical study focused on the relationship between social maturity and professional self-determination in early adolescents. Theoretical criteria of social maturity—reflection, autonomy, and environmental management—are discussed as crucial aspects of personal development. The activity of a mature personality manifests in active creativity through processes of cognition, activity, and communication. Personal reflection involves self-awareness, self-discovery abilities, and self-directedness in interpersonal relations. Autonomy refers to the capability to resist majority opinions and to make conscious and independent decisions. The total sample of respondents aged 17-18 years was divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 32 graduates of the 11th grade; the second group consisted of 30 first-year university students. The results of the empirical study showed that graduates of the 11th grade who are in a crisis of professional development tend to rely on the opinion of society and build their lives according to the accepted standards. Those who have determined their professional direction demonstrate interest to self-knowledge but are characterised by passive social behaviour. First-year students, facing a crisis of choice, try to maintain their autonomy and uniqueness. Students with an established professional position try to be useful to society while remaining true to their values. A statistically significant difference was found in the level of development of reflexivity in adolescents. It was found that students are characterised by a higher level of self-acceptance, a higher level of self-esteem, etc. It has been established that reflexivity is an important quality that influences successful professional self-determination.

Authors: Virdaus Varia Virdania , Rahmasari Annisa , Rifa’i Saiful
Published: November 2024

This study examined the effectiveness of using YouTube as a media tool in conjunction with Vlog Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to improve high school students' speaking abilities. This study used a quasi-experimental desing. While the control group adhered to a traditional curriculum that excluded vlogs and digital media, the experimental group actively participated in Vlog TBLT sessions, where students produced, edited, and engaged with YouTube video content. The findings showed that students' speaking skills significantly improved after being exposed to the Vlog TBLT technique.  Compared to the passive learning seen in traditional approaches, the active participation demanded by vlog-based assignments allowed for a more deep and engaged learning experience, producing better results. Additionally, the findings implied that using YouTube vlogs in language instruction not only improved speaking ability but also fostered higher levels of student interest and involvement. This study had important ramifications for teachers looking to integrate digital media into their lesson plans. This study offered a viable substitute for conventional educational approaches that might not be able to satisfy the demands of today's students by demonstrating that Vlog TBLT with YouTube could be a potent instrument in contemporary language instruction. In the end, this study promoted a change to more creative and captivating teaching methods that used technology to improve language learning results.
The Effect of Spontaneous Group Discussion in Speaking Skill to Senior High School Students
Authors: Wiratno Wiratno , Huda M. Alimul
Published: November 2024

This article discusses the impact of implementing Spontaneous Group Discussion (SGD) in a senior high school experimental class. Challenges during speaking practice in the classroom lead to the students having reduced motivation to speak English. SGD is suggested as a way to address this issue by evaluating its efficacy in comparison to a traditional approach. This research employs a quasi-experimental design with pretest and post-test assessments. The analysis showed the result of this research that F (2,85) = 26.591, P 0.000 < 0.05. From the result a notable difference emerged between the experimental and control groups, resulting in the dismissal of the null hypothesis which posited that both strategies (SGD technique and GTM) are identical. Research findings indicate that SGD is more efficient for learning speech, allowing students to rapidly grasp important lessons related to the teacher's chosen topic. Hence, teachers may find value in using the findings of this research when instructing students on English speaking skills.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: The Covid-19 pandemic has become a challenging time for education worldwide.
Though different modes of distant learning have already become widely used at many of Higher
Education Institutions (HEIs) long before the pandemic, the lockdowns involved total
migration of teaching on various platforms of learning content management despite a level of
available technological support and skills of teachers. These forced innovations have had
a significant impact on the quality of teaching which has not yet been fully assessed in research.
Student perception of the change learning environment and their assessment of the quality of
the education they received are one of the little-studied problems. The paper presents the study
results on how students are satisfied with the teaching quality ensured by different modes of
instruction.
Design/methodology/approach: The University of Information Technology and Management
has implemented the Course Experience Questionnaire which is a standard tool for semester
assessing the quality of courses. For this research in total 40,734 surveys were collected.
The study covers the 4 years 2019-2022.
Findings: The statistical analysis of research shows the instruction mode itself does not have
a noticeable effect on the acquired knowledge and skills. The technological maturity of the
teaching staff these days is a necessity.
Practical implications: What outcomes and implications for practice, applications and
consequences are identified? How will the research impact upon the business or enterprise?
What changes to practice should be made as a result of this research? What is the commercial
or economic impact? Not all papers will have practical implications.
Originality/value: The results of the research and observations show that timely intervention
of IT experts and high-performance infrastructure are the pre-requisites needed to teach with
ease in traditional, hybrid and online forms.
Keywords: student satisfaction, teaching quality, online education, hybrid education.

competition of other (interchangeable) technologies, as well as the simultaneous justification
of production capacity and supply volumes to specific sales markets.
Findings: The location factors for producing goods using 3D printing technologies are
relatively low prices for electricity and 3D printing materials, as well as a short distance to the
sales markets and a developed transport infrastructure between the potential places of
production 3D printing and potential sales markets. All locations from the space of possible
placement that are characterized by at least one placement factor can be considered attractive
locations for the production of benefits using 3D printing technologies, but the locations with
the key placement factors for the production of benefits using 3D printing technologies - a short
distance to sales markets - are of particular importance.
Practical implications: Use of the materials of the research conducted in the article can be of
significant practical importance, since the correct substantiation of the optimal location of
production using 3D printing technologies will allow to fully utilize the potential efficiency of
these perspective technologies, which are promising in terms of increasing the economic
security of individual firms, countries and the European Union as a whole.
Originality/value: The article identifies the factors of the production location using 3D printing
technologies, develops a categorization of attractive places for the production location using
3D printing technologies, and proposes a methodology for determining the pointwise, locally

Authors: Bekpenbetova Sandugash , Kulnazarova Gulbakhram , Sartayeva Karlygash , Sartayeva Zhuldyz , Seyitova Bagdagul
Published: November 2024

This study’s main aim is to examine the ethno-cultural empathy levels of philology students and how they perceive the heroes in literary works in terms of values and their tendency to adopt these heroes as role models. This study employed a descriptive relational survey, with participants comprising philology students from two state universities in Kazakhstan. Using the snowball sampling method, 285 voluntary students were included. The Scale of Ethno-cultural Empathy and the Role-Modeling Scale of Intertextual Heroes in Literary Works in Terms of Values were used to collect data. The findings showed that philology students exhibited high ethno-cultural empathy, with mean scores of 3.57 in Empathic Feeling and Expression, 3.32 in Empathic Perspective Taking and Acceptance of Cultural Differences, and 3.45 in Empathic Awareness. Their mean score on the Role-Modelling of Heroes scale was 3.28, indicating a limited tendency to adopt literary heroes as personal role models. Gender analysis revealed significantly higher empathic tendencies among female students, though no significant gender difference was found for role-modeling heroes. Third- and fourth-year students demonstrated greater empathy than first- and second-year students. Multiple regression analysis indicated that students’ role-modeling perceptions significantly predicted their ethno-cultural empathy levels, suggesting a positive contribution to empathy development. The study recommends enhancing ethno-cultural empathy and hero role modeling among philology students by selecting culturally diverse literature, planning character analysis activities, strengthening empathy programs, creating ethics-focused materials, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, organizing reading groups, and using interactive digital platforms.

Interpretation of the etymon “kir-” in the word “kirije” ‘name’ and the specifics of naming in the Wadul language
Authors: Kurilova Ladina Gavrilovna
Published: November 2024

The research aims to obtain an interpretation of the origin of the noun “kirije” ‘name’ turning to etymologization of lexemes of the Wadul language (Tundra Yukaghir). The article describes the etymological reconstruction of the lexeme “kirije” ‘name’, made within the vocabulary of the Wadul language, which is one of the most studied Yukaghir languages with a more complete recording of the lexical stock. Along with the interpretation of the word “kirije” ‘name’, onomastic aspects in the Wadul language were considered, apotropaic names were characterized: zoo-anthroponyms, personal names and nicknames. Scientific novelty consists in obtaining new information on the etymology and onomastics of the Wadul language, morphological and word-formation features of its lexical units. As a result of the research, the verbal stem “kirchi-” was revealed as a phonetic variant of the stem “kischi-”, which encodes the semantics of partial execution of an action. In the etymological study of the Yukaghir vocabulary, the etymon “kir- (~kis-)” ‘partially, briefly show’ was determined. The origin of the lexeme “kirije” ‘name’ was interpreted: ‘that which is partially (secretly) shown’. The specificity of naming, associated with the cultural traditions and views of the Yukaghirs, was revealed.
Poetics of the “gothic” short story by V. Brusov
Authors: Osmukhina Olga Yurievna , Trushkina Aliona Petrovna
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of V. Brusov’s short prose in a comparative aspect with the short stories of Western writers of the 19th and early 20th century in order to demonstrate the specificity of Brusov’s neo-gothic short story, as well as to point out its fundamental differences from foreign short stories of the same period, developing the theme of the “terrible” and “horrible”. The authors of the article, relying on the literary tradition, summarize the key properties of the “gothic” novel. Scientific novelty consists in the fact that for the first time, firstly, the specificity of the existence of “gothic” motifs and images in the texts of V. Brusov is revealed; secondly, their embodiment is compared with the plots of Western contemporaries – the creators of the “gothic” canon. The study was undertaken to identify the peculiarities of the refraction of the “gothic” tradition in the short story by V. Brusov. As a result, it has been established that the Russian “gothic” novel is renewed thanks: firstly, to the key motifs of dream/hallucination, madness, duality/mirroring; secondly, the emphasis on the physiological nature of phenomena that cause not fear, but disgust; thirdly, the construction of the manor chronotope, known from classical literature, but which is now not a place for the development of love intrigue, but a space in which the violence, secrets and sins of the characters inhabiting it are hidden.
Condolence in German culture: Etymological and historical aspects
Authors: Loginova Aleksandra Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2024

The study aims to identify the extralinguistic factors shaping condolence traditions in the German-speaking world within the frameworks of oral condolences, the epistolary genre of condolence, the speech genre of the obituary, and modern internet genres of condolence. Previously, the speech act of condolence was considered by linguists only from the perspective of pragmatic conditions of realization and selection of speech means. The study is novel in that it is the first one to identify and describe the main stages in the formation of condolence speech genres in German viewed through the lens of the dialectical development of extra-linguistic social reality. The results showed that the following circumstances (extralinguistic factors) had a significant influence on the traditions of expressing sympathy and condolences: the mythological consciousness of the Germanic peoples; the synthesis of pagan and Christian ideas about mercy towards disadvantaged groups of the population; the ritual nature of Catholic burial; and the pragmatic relations in medieval Western European society, which formed a specific etiquette-pragmatic potential of the speech act of condolence represented in various speech genres. Historical and axiological factors in the development of the notions of compassion and condolence are reflected at the language level, as demonstrated in the etymological analysis of related notions: ‘Mitgefühl’ (sympathy), ‘Mitleid’ (compassion), ‘Beileid’ and ‘Kondolenz’ (condolence), which form the semantic field of condolence in the German language.

Authors: Çetin Selçuk
Published: November 2024

Byung-Chul Han, son yılların en dikkat çeken kültür kuramcılarından birisidir. Felsefe ve teoloji eğitimi alan Han, yeni medya sosyolojisi ile de ilgilenmiştir. Eserleri dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de yakından takip edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Han’ın yeni medya sosyolojisine getirdiği kuramsal perspektifi tespit etmektir. Bu bağlamda yazarın kaleme aldığı kitaplardan yola çıkarak yeni medya ile ilgili tezleri ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Yazdığı kitaplardan on dört tanesinde yeni medya sosyolojisine dair bağlamlar, bir nitel araştırma olan doküman incelemesi ile ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamlar, üç tema hâline getirilerek analitik bir çerçevede yorumlanmıştır. Yazarın eleştirel perspektifinin temel noktası neoliberalizm ekseninde yoğunlaşmaktadır. Bu açıdan çalışmada tespit edilen üç tema; veri ve algoritma yoluyla üretkenlik rejimi, siyasetin dijital dönüşümü ve çöküşü, dijital benliğin ve bireyciliğin psikolojisi şeklindedir. Yazar, eleştirel yeni medya çalışmalarına özgün açılımlar getirmektedir. Han, büyük veriye egemen olan güçlerin insanları nasıl gözetlediğini ve metalaştırdığını ortaya koymuştur. Siyasetin kamusal bir özelliğinin kalmadığını, rasyonel bir tartışma imkanının yok olduğunu, insanların dijital mahalleleri içerisinde kendilerini ötekine kapattıklarını tespit etmiştir. Buna göre, özellikle sosyal medya ortamları, akıldan çok duyguların ön planda olduğu bir yerdir ve buradan kamusal bir tartışma da gelişemeyecektir. Han, aynı zamanda aydınlanmış bireyin sonunu da işaret eder. Son olarak Han, dijital ortamların; bireyciliği ürettiğini, kitle değil sürü yarattığını, beğeni kültürüne bağımlı kıldığını düşünmektedir. Ayrıca, sosyal medya fenomenleri ya da influencerlar yoluyla narsistleşmiş öznenin ruhu sisteme sunulmaktadır.

Adaptive Learning, Instruction, and Teaching in Schools: Unraveling Context, Sources, Implementation, and Goals in a Systematic Review

Adaptivity allows for meeting diverse students’ needs. Building on the Ada-LIT framework, this review systematically investigates 1) in which contexts, 2) based on which source and type of assessment, 3) by whom, 4) how, and 5) to what end adaptations are made in schools. We identified 69 publications through double-screening 555 empirical research articles from 2018-2022. Most research was conducted in elementary schools, particularly in math, and adaptivity was mainly delivered by systems. Performance was the most frequent source and targeted outcome, with less emphasis on emotions or demographic characteristics. Assessment of the adaptive source relied primarily on trace data. Operationalizations were mainly on a micro-level, specifically adaptive navigation, task difficulty, and support. Studies typically do not report on all six components of adaptivity as outlined in the framework. The Ada-LIT framework can guide rigorous designs and reporting of studies investigating adaptivity in schools. The results highlight research potential.
Understanding family dynamics through a neurocognitive lens
Authors: Held Ronja Fiona , Lorusso Aline Moore , Hogenhuis Ann , Kluwer Esther , Hortensius Ruud

Individual family members impact each other and the family system at the physiological, brain, behavioral, phenomenological, and social level. Previous research used established methods, such as self-report and behavioral observation, to provide thorough insights into family dynamics. Here, we aim to complement existing methods and argue for a neurocognitive approach in family research. Neurocognitive tools can provide detailed and nuanced insights into complex family dynamics by capturing behavioral and brain processes at the individual and family level. By measuring neural activity and the alignment of brain activity between family members we can uncover complex recurrent and situation-dependent interactions that so far have remained hidden. Using this approach, we can increase the scope of family research, especially when measuring family members across generations with different levels of verbal ability. It allows to study emotionally interconnected family members across multiple generations. Measuring behavior and brain activity of multiple family members simultaneously is therefore a promising method to reveal additional factors contributing to family well-being and inform theory and practice. As mobile neuroimaging advances, studying family interactions in natural settings, such as the family home, becomes more feasible. This opens new possibilities for family research while simultaneously increasing ecological validity. The neurocognitive approach allows us to understand known and unknown factors contributing to family dynamics and brings a mechanistic understanding closer to “home”.
Wildlife Perceptions in an Urban Jungle: A Comparison between Otters, Monitor Lizards, Macaques and Pythons
Authors: Saigal Manisha , JOHNS Philip
Published: November 2024

Understanding human-wildlife interactions is crucial for effective urban wildlife management and conservation. This study compared Singapore residents' perceptions and awareness of scenario-based etiquette towards four prominent urban wildlife species: smooth‐coated otters (Lutrogale perspicillata), long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis), Malayan water monitor lizards (Varanus salvator) and reticulated pythons (Malayopython reticulatus). Using online surveys (n=399), we investigated how demographic factors and exposure to each species influence perceptions. Our results show significant differences in perceptions and etiquette responses towards each species. Respondents had the highest affinity towards otters, perceived greater property damage from mammals than reptiles, and feared terrestrial more than semi-aquatic species. Respondents’ age, parental status, frequency of park visits, involvement in wildlife programs and frequency of seeing each species significantly influenced perceptions, suggesting a need to engage older people and parents more to improve wildlife perceptions. Notably, the frequency of direct encounters with wildlife only explained 1% of variation in perceptions, suggesting that exposure or familiarity alone do not ensure coexistence with wildlife. Our findings emphasise the need for more public education on wildlife etiquette, especially regarding macaques. We found that wildlife education lowered perceptions of property damage but not fear, suggesting that addressing misconceptions and negative perceptions requires fostering positive emotional connections with wildlife. Our analysis highlights the interplay between urban aesthetics, cultural perceptions, wildlife education, and human and animal behaviour in shaping human-wildlife interactions. Most saliently, our study demonstrates the importance of species-specific approaches to improve relationships between humans and wildlife.
