Authors: Endarti Esa Wahyu
Published: November 2024

This study evaluates the implementation of the Open Defecation Free (ODF) Program in Tambak Osowilangun Village, Surabaya City using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation. The findings of the study show that the program has been successful in increasing access to proper sanitation facilities and reducing the incidence of sanitation-related diseases such as diarrhea. Significant challenges still exist, especially related to uneven changes in community behavior and suboptimal maintenance of sanitation facilities. The success of the program is supported by the active involvement of local communities and policy support from local governments, but is hampered by factors such as limited infrastructure in remote areas and cultural resistance to changes in sanitation practices. The limitations of this study include geographic coverage limited to a single village and a qualitative approach that may not cover the variation of experiences across the regions affected by the ODF program.
Assessing Household Financial Behavior During COVID-19: A Focus on Expenditure and Savings
Authors: Efriyani Sumastuti
Published: November 2024

This study aims to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on household expenditure, savings, and financial behavior in low- to middle-income households in Indonesia. The research analyzes how the pandemic influenced household financial management, particularly in terms of spending reductions and shifts in saving behaviors. Data were collected from 100 households through structured surveys, and the analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The methodology allowed for both direct and indirect relationships between household expenditure, savings, and the economic shock of COVID-19 to be explored. The results indicate a positive correlation between household expenditure and savings, where higher-income households were able to save more despite greater spending. However, the pandemic negatively impacted both expenditure and savings, with households reducing non-essential spending and relying on their savings due to income uncertainty. Additionally, the pandemic indirectly influenced savings by affecting household expenditure. These findings highlight the financial vulnerability of lower-income households during economic disruptions and underscore the importance of enhancing financial resilience. Policy recommendations include promoting financial literacy, expanding access to financial resources, and providing targeted support to help households navigate future economic crises.

El presente texto pretende mostrar la historia y evolución del currículo, evidenciando datos relevantes y dicientes, abarcando los acontecimientos más importantes del modernismo y la contemporaneidad como espacios de tiempo en los que surgen diversas dinámicas sociales que permean todos los campos y evidentemente la educación. A través de este escrito, presentamos las características del currículo en tres etapas, de manera clara, siguiendo un hilo conductor, el cual nos permite entender cómo su historia, planteamientos y evolución han plasmado en la escuela y la sociedad pensamientos ortodoxos, poco críticos y reproduccionistas, enmarcados en las necesidades y deseos de los entes globales, dejando entrever con claridad que el currículo como se plantea, dista mucho de conducir hacia unos intereses reales del individuo, sino por el contrario, lo condiciona a un modelo materialista y vano que cada vez encierra ese ser ávido de libertad. Así mismo se plantea una propuesta de currículo, pedagogía y educación pensada e inspirada en las bases filosóficas de autores como Warner Jaeger y Enrique Pestalozzi. Estas teorías puestas en práctica dan respuesta a muchas de las necesidades educativas actuales, pero han sido sometidas a numerosos cambios hasta desdibujarse y perder su esencia por acción de élites de poder (iglesia, industria, organismos gubernamentales) que fueron cambiando con el paso del tiempo, imprimiendo cada cual sus intereses particulares.

Authors:   Universidad Santiago de Cali, Toledo Cubillos Efraín , Cano Quintero María Constanza ,   Universidad Santiago de Cali
Published: November 2024

En el presente texto se exponen ideas de enfoques diversos sobre los Entornos Inteligentes de Aprendizaje (EIA), orientados a la enseñanza de la programación informática para niños que se desarrollan en un ecosistema socio-técnico-cultural, con relaciones complejas entre sujetos a través de transmediaciones y convergencias de múltiples medios de comunicación en el marco de la interacción de la vida cotidiana y las aplicaciones de la Web 4.0. Por ser un campo reciente en el contexto local, no se han encontrado muchos estudios y se hace necesario realizar investigaciones experimentales y observación metódica de diferentes variables como el logro de aprendizaje o las percepciones de los estudiantes en el uso de la Inteligencia Artificial en su formación. Se entiende que los EIA permiten a los estudiantes acceder a los recursos digitales, interactuar con los sistemas de aprendizaje, proporcionar activamente la orientación, sugerencias, herramientas de apoyo en el lugar, momento y forma correcta, teniendo presentes las características, contextos, estilos cognitivos y estilos de aprendizaje. La propuesta metodológica se ha planteado como una investigación tipo mixta con un estudio cuasi-experimental con control de variables dependientes como el logro de aprendizaje y la percepción de los estudiantes sobre el EIA; se prevé el diseño de triangulación entre métodos como estrategia para el análisis de los resultados. Se han tenido en cuenta las dificultades y posibilidades de implementar entornos inteligentes de aprendizaje en el contexto colombiano con las singularidades culturales y los avances tecnológicos.

Fundamentos para una metaevaluación desde las representaciones sociales y la complejidad
Authors:   Universidad Santiago de Cali, Ávila Vanegas Claudia
Published: November 2024

La evaluación es un eje fundamental en la garantía de la calidad de la educación y de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje que se visionan como pertinentes y significativos. Para ello, desde marcos referenciales internacionales, como los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible años 2015 al 2030 y las políticas nacionales de evaluación que se viabilizan en los planes de gobierno, se aboga por unos procesos de evaluación formativa que supere las prácticas tradicionales, especialmente en atención al antagonismo que se presenta, entre los discursos para una implementación de la evaluación formativa y su reconocimiento práctico en acciones evaluativas tradicionales. Se considera pertinente hacer una lectura de la evaluación de los aprendizajes como un fenómeno complejo, donde las relaciones entre los sujetos estudiante-docente, están integradas por diversos elementos pedagógicos, sociales, culturales, políticos y económicos, así como por un conjunto de subjetividades que se concretan en representaciones sociales. Ante este escenario enriquecido de tensiones que se ponen de manifiesto en los niveles del macrocurrículo, mesocurrículo y microcurrículo, es necesario adentrarse en la dinámica no lineal y compleja del proceso de evaluación de los aprendizajes, identificando las representaciones sociales que se han configurado para generar una propuesta de metaevaluación reflexiva que incida en una educación de calidad.

Esta investigación se ocupó de generar ambientes de aprendizaje en el preescolar, direccionados hacia la influencia que tienen los libros álbumes en el proceso de lectura crítica, en las niñas y niños de preescolar, en la que se ven implicados los conocimientos previos del lector y los objetivos con los que se enfrenta. Conforme a lo anterior, el libro álbum se conoce como una obra literaria infan-til que favorece el desarrollo de las competencias literarias y nutre la experiencia de la lectura inicial. Un libro álbum es una perfecta con-junción entre palabras e ilustraciones. Ambos lenguajes son códigos independientes que se complementan de manera poética para crear nuevos sentidos más allá de lo textual y lo visual. Por tal razón, se ha diseñado esta estrategia didáctica, tendiente a promover la lectu-ra crítica a edad temprana en niños y niñas. El diseño metodológi-co de esta investigación es de enfoque cualitativo y descriptivo, que concibe la interpretación y el análisis sobre el abordaje del libro álbum, utilizando la interrogación textual como estrategia. Esto per-mite la participación activa de los preescolares en su incorporación al mundo letrado y logra enfrentar los desafíos que ésta le impone en el proceso de escolarización. Con el propósito de obtener los resultados esperados, se implementaron las actividades diseñadas para la estra-tegia de manera virtual, comprobándose que se promovió la lectura crítica, cuando los participantes lograron darle diferentes sentidos a las páginas de los libros álbumes.

Authors: Das Nilanjana , Sunny Neethu , Panda Prasan Kumar
Published: November 2024

HIV/AIDS is a global health issue with a signicant impact on morbidity and mortality worldwide. Opportunistic infections are a major cause of
morbidity and mortality in HIV/AIDS patients particularly those not who are not receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). The presence of multiple
opportunistic infections in an individual is not uncommon, and these infections may often have a symbiotic relationship, where the presence of one
infection can lead to the development of another, leading to a more severe disease course. We present a case of a 31-year-old female, recently
diagnosed with HIV/AIDS not on ARTwho's diagnosis was complicated by the existence of multiple opportunistic infections including pulmonary
tuberculosis, pneumocystis pneumonia, herpes genitalis and vulvovaginal candidiasis. This case report highlights the importance of early
diagnosis and prompt management of these infections in HIV/AIDS patients to improve their overall outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach is
necessary to manage patients with multiple opportunistic co infections, which requires close collaboration between different medical specialities.
This case report also emphasises the need for a high index of suspicion for opportunistic infections in patients with HIV/AIDS, especially in
resource limited settings, where the burden of opportunistic infections is high.

Published: November 2024

The Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Copper T is used by more than 150 million women around the world, making it the most widely used
reversible method of contraception. Copper T a very safe contraceptive method can be used for 10 years. Missing Copper T thread is a common
complaint when it may be curled in or the Copper T might have expelled or migrated. Methods: It was cross sectional study collecting the data
between June 2020 to December 2020. Data was collected from OPD, OT register and Inpatient registers. The objective was to ascertain the
symptoms, insertion methods, investigations done and mode of retrieving missed Copper T. Results: There were 63 cases of missing Copper T
thread, out of which, 33 patients were asymptomatic, Irregular vaginal bleeding in (19 patients) was commonest complaint, followed by abdominal
pain in (10 patients). Pregnancy was detected in one patient. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) detected intrauterine location of Copper T in 60
cases. X-ray abdomen erect was needed in 3 cases, out of which 2 cases detected myometrial impingement and piercing of Copper T with broken T
limb and in 1 case Copper T was expelled. In 31 patients, Copper T was removed by artery forceps in OPD. In 17 cases, hysteroscopic Copper T
removal was needed. Two cases with migrated Copper T underwent laparoscopy for retrieval of Copper T. One patient had to be converted to
laparotomy for piercing of myometrium. Conclusion: Copper T thread can be missing most commonly with postpartum IUCD. Transvaginal
ultrasound is first done in missing Copper T thread. When not visualized we go for an X-ray abdomen and pelvis. Hysteroscopic retrieval was
attempted under anaesthesia in patients where Copper Tcould not be retrieved with artery forceps. Laparoscopy and laparotomy may be required as
last attempt in migrated Copper Tcases.

La vittimizzazione sessuale online tra pari
Authors: Franceschi Angela
Published: November 2024

Sexual violence can happen in person or through technology, like when someone shares or posts private images online without the victim's consent. There is still disagreement over the definition and description of online sexual harassment despite the large number of studies conducted on this topic. The research has really long ignored the interactions between peers and instead concentrated on the ways that adolescents are victimized by adults, strangers, or romantic partners. With a definition of the construct from a theoretical and measurement perspective as well as a description of its features, this work seeks to advance understanding of the phenomena of online sexual harassment among peers. Additionally, the prevalence of the phenomena of online sexual harassment among peers in the Italian setting was examined in comparison to the more extensively researched problem of cybervictimization. The two behaviors, although very similar, seem to be associated with different risk factors.
Comprendere un testo su carta o su schermo: il ruolo delle Funzioni Esecutive in età scolare
Authors: Ruffini Costanza
Published: November 2024

The literature indicates a disadvantage of reading comprehension in digital mode compared to reading comprehension in print mode. The shallowing hypothesis explains this disadvantage by suggesting that on digital, readers adopt a superficial reading mode that is not conducive to deep comprehension of what they read. At the same time, the cognitive load theory argues that digital carries a greater cognitive load than paper, which affects the effectiveness of understanding what is read. Existing studies showing the disadvantage of digital over paper focus mainly on adults, neglecting school-age, a crucial period for the development of reading comprehension. Executive Functions, crucial for reading comprehension, reach a peak in development during school age, influencing the effect of the medium (paper or screen) on performance on reading comprehension tasks. This contribution aims to fill some of the gaps in the literature by exploring the differences in digital and paper-based reading comprehension in school-age children and investigating the role of Executive Functions in supporting reading comprehension in both modalities.
Modelli pedagogici nell’esperienza artistica
Authors: Belisario Maria Laura
Published: November 2024

What does an artistic production today tell about the socio-cultural environment of those who create and act on it? What pedagogical models emerge and what educational and training needs do they refer to? These are the questions that are guiding the research work I’m carrying out during my doctoral career. A work that hypothesizes that art could be the privileged way to access pedagogical models, as representations of the world transmitted from generation to generation within the educational and training contexts of which each individual is an integral part. What, in particular, is presented in these pages is a case study which, as an art form, takes into consideration music, an element present in the daily life of every human being. This is the laboratory of sound expression with natural objects called "Orchestra della Natura”, by Daniele Delfino. The study takes into consideration 135 subjects from childhood to adulthood and, through an integrated approach that sees the intertwining of the phenomenological-hermeneutic approach and Narrative Inquiry, aims to investigate not only the way in which art reveals representations of the world, but also promotes their transformation. The investigation also concerns the identification of the educational and training needs to which the models identified refer, in order to organize pedagogical interventions that can respond to these needs.
La relazione tra la Connessione con la Natura e i Comportamenti Pro-Ambientali: una revisione sistematica PRISMA
Authors: Fiorenza Maria Martina
Published: November 2024

This systematic literature review examines the relationship between Connectedness to Nature (CN) and Pro-Environmental Behaviors (PEB). Considering the worsening climate change and the current climate emergency, pro-environmental behavior has gained significant attention in the literature. PEBs aim to minimize negative impacts and maximize positive impacts on the environment. Researchers have focused on connectedness to nature as a potential driver of pro-environmental behavior. However, there is no universally agreed definition of this construct, which can be understood as a profound connection with nature.
The review of the literature was carried out by the PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis). To access the literature we consulted Google Scholar, PubMed, Sociological Abstracts, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, Science Direct, and Academic Search Complete databases, inserting as keywords: "connectedness to nature" and "pro-environmental behavior". The search returned 2,280 results after duplicate removal. Of these 2,280 total results only 29 articles were selected based on the following inclusion criteria: (1) indexed articles on the selected databases (2) publication date until July 2022, (3) empirical study, (4) published in journals, conference proceedings, or as a Master’s degree or Doctoral thesis, (5) written in English or Italian, (6) Two keywords had to be present in the abstract: "connectedness to nature" and "pro-environmental behavior", (7) the studies had to evaluate the relationship between connectedness to nature and pro-environmental behavior.
The reported results have clearly shown the presence of a significant and positive relationship between CN and PEB, however with great variability. On average, individual PEBs were more strongly associated with CN than activism PEBs.

Authors: Proli Maria Grazia
Published: November 2024

The paper presents a scoping review conducted to refine the design of the research in progress, focusing on the theme of lifelong educational and training processes as a prompt for urban and social regeneration from below. Starting with a broad review question to explore European research contexts over the last two decades, the aim is to draw an overview of pedagogical, educational and formative, and interdisciplinary studies on urban regeneration from below in Europe. The aim is to focus on the most widely used methodologies and tools; to highlight the educational and training strategies implemented to foster the re-appropriation of urban public spaces by the subjects, groups and communities involved, with particular attention to young people.
L’adolescente in relazione all’ecosistema ipertecnologico e lo sviluppo di nuovi modelli pedagogici per il XXI secolo
Authors: Lavanga Francesco
Published: November 2024

We live at the dawn of the hyper-technological era. Digital innovation is becoming increasingly intertwined with the biological dimension, influencing our languages, emotions and thoughts. The transformations of the relationship between human being and machine are triggering scientific-humanistic reflections useful for developing new paradigms of interpretation of an extended reality that overlaps the physical and virtual worlds. The human being is projected into an onlife dimension, where ICTs increasingly influence who we are, how we socialise, how we conceive reality and how we interact with it. Four major transformations emerge as a result: the blurring of the distinction between reality and virtuality; the blurring of the distinction between human being, machine and nature; the inversion from scarcity to abundance of information; and the shift from the primacy of things, properties and binary relationships in their own right, to the primacy of interactions, processes and networks (Floridi, 2014). Pedagogy of adolescence, in particular, has the mandate to provide specific studies and research to learn more about the human beings transformations and learning processes in the age of development by taking an interdisciplinary look at the fluctuations of a liquid society.
Indici predittivi delle abilità di lettura e scrittura. Una revisione sistematica PRISMA
Authors: Mercugliano Alice
Published: November 2024

Understanding the learning process of reading and writing requires an in-depth analysis of the predictive indices that determine their development. Their study is fundamental to both research and clinical practice, enabling the implementation of targeted educational techniques and the early identification of children at risk of learning disorders. This study explores the relationship between these indices and reading and writing skills through a systematic PRISMA review. Through a comprehensive search of various databases, 102 articles were identified that met the inclusion criteria. The results reveal considerable interest in the scientific community in this topic, underlining the multi-componential nature of learning processes. However, while the main focus has been on reading, there is a dearth of studies on writing ability, just as in the face of a greater study of the proximal stages to school age, there is a dearth of studies with an assessment during early childhood. Furthermore, the review showed a limited focus of the literature on predictors of specific learning disorders, and an exclusive emphasis on certain types of predictive indices, leaving out others of equal importance. There is therefore a need for further research into this topic, encouraging research aimed at overcoming the limitations currently encountered.
Intelligenza Artificiale in Higher Education: applicazioni, sfide e rischi
Authors: Schachter Christel
Published: November 2024

This contribution represents a synthesis of the literature review conducted on the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Higher Education, with particular attention to orientation and human learning processes. The analysis has identified two main macro-themes. The first focuses on the current state of the art and future prospects of AI usage in Higher Education, distinguishing between technical and technological approaches and those more pedagogical in nature. Possible benefits emerge - such as increased personalization of orientation, teaching, and learning - although widespread adoption is still hindered by factors including limited resource availability and ethical and legal concerns. The second macro-theme identifies six educational challenges related to AI that require an interdisciplinary approach, particularly to address issues related to literacy in the use of new technologies, ethics, privacy, and data security. The conclusions emphasize that AI could widen the gap between technological advancement and its integration in Higher Education, highlighting the urgency of a deeper understanding of the implications and necessary adaptation by Universities and society in general, in order to ensure that educational processes are increasingly equitable and inclusive.

The study focused on assessment of socioeconomic determinants of maize production among smallholder farmers in Nasarawa State. A multistage sampling technique was used for the selection of 171 small holder farmers for the study. A well-structured questionnaire containing both open and closed ended questions was used to collect the data for the study descriptive statistics such as percentage and frequencies and multiple regression analysis were used to achieve the objectives of the study. The socioeconomic result of the smallholder maize farmers in showed that the majority (36.3%) of the farmers were within the age range of 31-40 years of age and were mostly 76.6%) male farmers with the majority married and literate. Also, a greater number (66.1%) were members of association, 71.3% had farming experience between the range of 16-20 years with household size of 4-6, cultivating average farm size of 2-3 acres, had good contact with extension agents though only 4.1% had access to credit facility. The result of the multiple regression analysis showed that farm size, educational status and household size have positive significant effect on the output of maize at 1% and 10% level of significance respectively. The maize production technologies adopted by the majority (88.4%) of the farmers were herbicides and improved variety while the major constraints were high cost of labour, high cost of inputs and poor credit facility. The federal Government should create an enabling environment that guarantees available farmland to farmers since farm size is a critical determinant to maize production.
Agronomic and Economic Evaluation of Common Bean-Tef in Double Cropping System
Authors: Mola Hailu Garkebo
Published: November 2024

Double-cropping of cereals with legumes is a usual practice by small-holder farmers in southern parts of Ethiopia but crop compatibility and sequencing are the major problems for their soil fertility as well as profitability. Thus, it was important to conduct research on double cropping systems that can make the farmers more profitable on small land to reduce crop failure with current climate change. Thus, an experiment was done to evaluate the effects of these crops as double cropping on the productivity of tef and to evaluate the agronomic and economic value of common bean-tef in double cropping system for an improved production system at Shashemene district during the cropping season of 2022 and 2023 using RCBD design. The experiment consisting of twelve treatments including one common bean and three N rate with three tef varieties was sowed as the preceding and succeeding crop respectively and three sole tef varieties used as a control. The preceding crop the Hawassa dume common bean variety had 8 ton/ha dry biomass and 35 Qt/ha grain yield. The variance analysis showed that all the growth and yield parameters of tef except harvest index were significant such as Plant Height, Panicle Length, Straw Yield, Biomass yield, Grain Yield (p<0.05).
