La méconnaissance du cadre professionnel chez des enseignantes débutantes devant un problème éthique à l’école
Authors: St.Vincent Lise-Anne
Published: November 2023

Cette recherche vise à mettre en évidence certaines dimensions que des enseignantes débutantes en adaptation scolaire examinent devant un problème d’ordre éthique rencontré à l’école. Quatre dimensions éthiques dans un problème de ce type sont considérées : les personnes impliquées, les valeurs en jeu, les principes de conduite professionnelle et le cadre professionnel. Cette recherche s’insère dans une approche qualitative. Par le moyen d’entrevues individuelles semi-dirigées, les dimensions qui ressortaient dans la réflexion de onze participantes devant un problème éthique ont été analysées. Les résultats obtenus dans cette recherche ont permis de faire ressortir que la dimension du cadre professionnel est très peu abordée par les enseignantes participantes. Les lois, les normes de la commission scolaire et de l’école ainsi que la convention collective semblent méconnues. À la lumière de ces résultats, des pistes pour la formation initiale et la période d’insertion professionnelle sont proposées. Ces pistes visent l’amélioration des connaissances qui s’avèrent fondamentales de ce système de régulation, et ce, dès l’entrée en pratique.
Homi Bhabha and Canadian Curriculum Studies: Beyond the Comforts of the Dialectic
Authors: Johnston Ingrid , Richardson George
Published: November 2023

In this article we consider the potential for the work of the postcolonial theorist, Homi Bhabha, to engage us in important reflections on Canadian curriculum studies. Drawing on Bhabha’s writings and interviews, we offer possibilities for ways in which his concepts of cultural difference, hybridity, and the third space, could influence English language art education, social studies education and teacher education.

Book Reivew: Despite This Loss
Complicating the Curricular Conversation with Antonin Artaud and Maxine Greene
Authors: Carter Mindy Roberta
Published: November 2023

…if I and other teachers truly want to provoke our students to break through the limits of the conventional and taken for granted, we ourselves have to experience breaks with what has been established in our own lives; we have to keep arousing ourselves to begin again. (Greene, 1995, p. 109)

One purpose of a/r/tography is to open up conversations and relationships instead of informing others about what has been learned. Another purpose is to open up possibilities for a/r/tographers as they give their attention to what is seen and known and what is not seen and not known. Openings are not necessarily passive holes through which one can see easily. Openings are often like cuts, tears, ruptures or cracks that resist predictability, comfort and safety (Springgay, Irwin, Leggo & Gouzouasis, 2008).

For the past few months I have been ruminating deeply on the ideas Maxine Greene discusses in the above quotation while simultaneously giving myself multiple excuses for resisting acknowledging the ways that the breaks she describes haunt me. I perceive myself as living in contradiction because I appear to myself to embrace the purposes and renderings of a/r/tography, all the while wishing for comfort and safety and to some extent predictability. A/r/tography is an arts based research method in which ones identity and work as an artist, teacher and researcher impact and inform one another in multiple and emergent ways (Carter, 2012; Carter, 2013; Carter, Beare, Belliveau & Irwin, 2011). Part of the nature of living and working a/r/tographically is to embrace the uncertainty of the in between and so the conundrum is thus: How can I encourage my arts education students to dwell with/in ambiguity, represent their thoughts in multiple kinds of texts and feel their worlds in body, mind and spirit, if I am hesitant to be seen living these ways by them and by myself? The short answer to this question is that I can’t.

And so, as a way to arouse myself to begin again I have chosen to discuss some of Antonin Artaud’s key theoretical concepts alongside selected curriculum theories as a way of tuning into and articulating what curricular openings are and might mean.
Awakeness, complexity and emergence: Learning through curriculum theory in teacher education
Authors: Richardson Pamela , Cherkowski Sabre , Schnellert Leyton
Published: November 2023

In this self-study research, we explore how the work of significant and diverse curriculum scholars informed the learning of teacher candidates within an intensive summer semester that serves as the foundation for a Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) at a Canadian university. Questions that guided our inquiry include: How did teacher candidates take up and negotiate theory as part of their emerging professional identities? How did teacher candidates understand the relationship between pedagogy and their learning of/through curriculum theory? How did teacher candidates embody diverse theories and how did they understand the significance of this within and beyond this foundational semester? And finally, as teacher educators, how are our beliefs, understandings and practices developing through this self-study? We employed a qualitative, grounded theory approach and engaged in iterative cycles of analysis with learning artifacts and interview transcripts from 26 teacher candidates. We identified the rich and layered themes of emergence, complexity, and awakeness, which revealed shifts in teacher candidates’ awareness in relation to their evolving identities. We discuss these themes in relation to the above questions and locate the influences of the selected theorists. This research contributes to the field of curriculum studies through offering a living case that explores how taking up diverse and contemporary curriculum theorists has potential to both support teacher candidates to experience praxis and shift the ground of teacher education.
The Old Durham Road Black Pioneer Settlement: Contested Place as an Invitation to Curriculum
Authors: Norquay Naomi , Garramone Pariss
Published: November 2023

Using Lippard’s (1997) conceptual framings of place (the physical, ideological and imaginary), we consider how the dominant White Pioneer Narrative shapes stories told about a historic Black pioneer settlement in Grey County, Ontario. The contested history of this community demonstrates the importance of place to people’s stories and it also points to new imaginings that might restore this forgotten community to its rightful place in local history. An oral history project with community elders and an engagement with children in the local school are used to explore the tensions and a hopeful way forward.

Book Review: Inspiration and Innovation in Teaching and Teacher Education
Authors: Brenna Beverley Anne
Published: November 2023

Inspiration and Innovation in Teaching and Teacher Education is an edited book by Karen Goodnough, Gerald Galway, Cecile Badenhorst, and Rob Kelly (2013) presenting a collection of 13 chapters, with three overview chapters in sections titled: “The Essence of Teacher Education”, “Innovative Practices in Teacher Education”, and “Emerging Issues in Teacher Education”. The book serves to remind readers of the history of teacher education as a landscape for new and future endeavors in the field, and it offers current research to address provocative questions related to a profession whose first responsibilities are presented as both political, in terms of the future of democracy, and personal, in terms of students who demonstrate particular values such as a sense of responsibility for themselves, others and the land through sustainability, as well as the skills to live those values. This text is a comprehensive and contemporary read and, as such, is highly recommended for Canadian curriculum scholars and students as well as others interested in the field of Education.
A Tale of Two Schools: A Practitioner’s Use of Bourdieu’s Theory to Understand Academic Underachievement Among Students at His Inner-City School
Authors: Brar Victor S
Published: November 2023

This paper describes my journey, as a teacher at a Canadian inner-city elementary school, toward conceptually understanding why many children at my current school repeatedly academically underachieve. I have utilized Bourdieu’s theory of practice as a heuristic to examine how social reproduction operates differently for school children from different social classes and leads to differences in achievement. The first component of this paper establishes a crucial theoretical base for practitioners by describing theory of practice and its key concepts of cultural capital, habitus, field, and symbolic violence, to explicate how social reproduction functions in education, highlighting the roles of institutions and professionals, and the transformative and generative potentials of Bourdieu’s theory. The second component provides important epistemological and methodological considerations regarding how practitioners might conduct successful empirical studies while avoiding the problems that are prevalent in existing empirical literature.

Book Review: Educational Experience as Lived: Knowledge, History, Alterity: The Selected Works of William F. Pinar
Authors: Jung Jung-Hoon
Published: November 2023

In the book Educational Experience as Lived: Knowledge, History and Alterity, William F. Pinar enacts his intellectual history of curriculum studies, intersecting knowledge, history, and alterity. He explores eighteen concepts of education that characterize his life works. The main argument of this volume is the centrality of subjective reconstruction through studying educational experience. What makes experience educational is one’s study, informed by historical knowledge and one’s engagement with others and the world. This book gives no practical strategies to solve educational problems, but instead provides us with insights to understand them, with which we might see what we experience clearly and differently. In this era of standardization, globalization, and cybertization of education, this book tells us how we have come to today, and questions what thoughts or actions would I, and you, take.
Epiphany in Waiting
Authors: Rajabali Anar
Published: November 2023

Rumi writes “Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to. Don’t try to see through the distances . . . move within” (Barks, 1997, p. 278). In this lyrical essay, I begin by enacting a walk I took with my mother along the ocean. I poetically dwell in a sensual phenomenological inquiry where I attune to the experience of this walk as it is unfolding: the images, the colours, the gestures, the scents, the sounds and the silences. Through the (re)telling of this pivotal event, I am then transported to the past, where I (re)enter a painful moment in a classroom. As in the line of the altering hues of the horizon that we walk alongside of, I relinquish to this line of inquiry. As I theorize this space in between the present and the past, I am brought to an epiphany and transcend both experiences into a renewed understanding of my pedagogical self. Here, I learn how the body holds the words; and in poetry as a physical, emotional, and spiritual walking through, I then enter into a place of light. The keen lessons of an encountering give in healing and meaning, illuminating the future with promise and with purpose.

Book Review: Canadian Curriculum Studies: A Métissage of Inspiration/Imagination/Interconnection
Authors: Downey Adrian
Published: November 2023

This text comprises a book review of Canadian Curriculum Studies: A Métissage of Inspiration/Imagination/Interconnection, edited by Erika Hasebe-Ludt and Carl Leggo (2018) and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. In this text, I first summarize the main themes and trends of the volume through reference to specific, illustrative contributions. I also highlight the rather distinct structure of the volume. In my discussion of the volume, I articulate its usefulness to emerging curriculum scholars as well as those teaching graduate courses in curriculum studies. I also make reference to several questions I have after reading the book as a whole. Finally, I end this essay by pointing to the intimate and welcoming atmosphere of the volume and of Canadian curriculum studies more generally.
Book Review: Pedagogies of Re-Imagination and Unlearning: Decolonial Cracks Within/Against Settler Colonial Canada
Authors: Charlebois Brooke , Ewing Megan , Davies Adam , Rajavel Mithila , Wrestch Adam , Sykes Heather
Published: November 2023

This book review is a close reading of three book-length works by key, contemporary scholars in the field of settler colonial studies: Walter Mignolo and Catherine Walsh's On Decoloniality; Adam Dahl's The Empire of the People; and Emma Battell Lowman and Adam Barker's Settler: Identity and Colonialism in 21st Century Canada. This review provides a critical account of the significance of navigating the complexities of modern settler colonial practices and frameworks within Western settler societies to better inform and navigate our own decolonizing processes. We identify settler logics, perspectives and foundational frameworks as key factors in our current educative practices. Through this, we debate the significance of unsettling our/selves to consider extensions of our identities through a decolonial lens and how we, as a society, contribute to ongoing colonial processes. The review also provides approaches to how these resources may be used to deepen our anti-colonial lens by considering these texts as an underlying basis to reflect upon current educative curricula.
Understanding the Use of Academic Research in Science Education Practitioner Journals
Authors: Bowen Michael , Taylor Joseph , Patrick Patricia , Summers Ryan , Kubsch Marcus , Warfa Abdirizak , Sezen-Barrie Asli , Guzey Selcen , Lachapelle Cathy
Published: November 2023

This bibliometric study investigated the extent to which science education practitioner journals (SEPJs) cite science education research journals and other resources, and in what proportions. The study found that articles in SEPJs rarely cite the leading science education research journals; the average citation rate per article is well below one. This result was not affected by article type and remains stable across 2013 to 2017. While results indicate the article purpose in the SEPJs affected the proportion of science education research journal citations, the proportion remains low with—in the best case—about 8% of all citations in The Science Teacher from 2013 to 2017. The presentation discusses the role of SEPJ authors of different roles/backgrounds in science education and their use of references. Implications for pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) development and the translation of research to practice are described.
Effective or Not? Building Discussions on Dilemmas and Refusals Into Research Practices: Perspectives From Participants
Authors: Toomey Nisha
Published: November 2023

Within the academy, pedagogical practice includes how we teach about, design and conduct research. Too often, research has been carried out, in extractive ways, “on” Black, Indigenous, racialized and marginalized communities, rather than alongside them. Much of the research conducted in these communities centers on damage (Tuck, 2009) and operates on a faulty theory of change that imagines policymakers will adjust their systems just because scholars report on damage (Tuck & Yang, 2014). Using results from my dissertation field research, which built questions about the research process itself into my 32 qualitative interviews, this paper presents the perspectives of community members living and working along the Thailand-Myanmar border. It spotlights the usefulness of research and its potential to make change. I propose that to approach research in a more ethical and transformative way, academic researchers must include questions about the research itself into their fieldwork. Also, researchers should approach the work with healthy skepticism about why they are doing it at all, whether it’s already been done, and whether it could be done better by someone else. Participants offered concrete steps for how to make research more useful, involving as many community members/organizations as possible from the outset. They discussed only doing research based on long-term trusting relationships formed with communities; understanding cultural context; making consent forms easy to read, culturally appropriate and clear; sharing and collaborating on results with communities; making sure that publications and writing would be accessible; and using the research as a tool for advocacy or political activism outside the academy.
Creating Love Letters to Nature: A Case Study of Children’s Multimodal Literacy Practices
Authors: Du Xiaoxiao , Kuan Kaiqi
Published: November 2023

Canada welcomes large numbers of immigrants each year, including children. It is certainly important to understand immigrant children’s educational experience beyond standardized tests in reading and math. This paper draws on a sociocultural approach by situating language and literacy learning in social and cultural contexts and by emphasizing the active role of learners in different contexts. Specifically, the multiliteracies framework (The New London Group, 1996) is used to understand how culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) children choose to use different literacies and modes to make sense of their surroundings and to create artistic texts to express their understandings of nature, such as water and forests. A qualitative case study was conducted to understand five CLD children’s meaning-making process in a community setting. Data was collected through observations, informal conversations, semi-structured interviews and artifacts. The initial findings of the study indicate that CLD children are active and creative meaning-makers who select different linguistic, cultural and artistic resources as well as various modalities to effectively express their ideas and perspectives according to audience, purpose and context. The presentation discusses two nature projects and shares the artwork of the participating children to highlight a range of multilingual, multicultural and multimodal literacy practices.
Examining How Expectancies and Values Can Overcome the Costs of Innovation: A Systematic Review of Environments and Approaches
Authors: Soleas Eleftherios K.
Published: November 2023

Making innovation more likely is a common goal of numerous educational initiatives ranging from the makerspace movement to high-skills majors and innovation incubators popping up across Canada. However, there has been limited cross-pollination across different disciplines towards a truly interdisciplinary understanding of what makes innovation more likely. This systematic review study examines the expectancies, values and costs that have been found to be involved in approaches and environments that promote the act of innovating. A systematic approach integrating an all-databases search in EBSCOhost (n=375 databases) yielded 115 full-text papers for data extraction. A majority of papers were found to be from business settings and predominantly using a survey methodology. There were limited considerations for implementation in schooling and education more broadly. Persistent trends for building expectancy tend to be supportive environments or approaches that make it safer for the aspiring innovators to practice and develop self-efficacy. Aspiring innovators tended to find intrinsic and utility value rather than attainment value as their principal task values, which suggests possibilities for maximizing their effect. Costs of innovation followed a similar pattern to costs as noted in other expectancy-value theory (EVT) studies. These findings point to a need for those interested in promoting innovation, especially educators, to focus their energies on creating a supportive environment and a needs-supportive approach.
The Heartbeat of Na’a: Documenting One School’s Blackfoot Cultural Learning Journey
Authors: Bartlett Stephanie , (Randy Bottle) Elder Saa'kokoto , White Cindy
Published: November 2023

In June 2019, students at an elementary school presented a Blackfoot/English opera and also wrote, illustrated and published Blackfoot/English books to showcase their 18-month-long Blackfoot learning journey. This collaborative story cannot be told in isolation by the researcher/designer alone. Together with the Elder who guided the work and the school principal, we will share the heart of this journey and the impact that this has had on pedagogy, school culture and relationships. Findings from this ethnographic study (Lassiter, 2005; Rappaport, 2008) within an Indigenous research paradigm (Chilisa, 2012; Donald, 2016; Wilson, 2008) highlight how wisdom and stories that are part of the land and how intentional and nurtured relationships with an Elder, with each other and with the animals led to a deeper appreciation of local place. It also created a stronger sense of engagement and belonging within the school for teachers and students. Within the conventional, privileged space of an opera, we created an open, ethical space that invited all students to thrive and participate (Ermine, 2007). Findings point to increased engagement by marginalized students in the land-based experiences, in the preparations for the opera and the book writing, and also in the opera performance itself. With video clips of the opera and samples of the books to lift our stories, this presentation aims to inspire action in the collective work of education for reconciliation. We see this journey as a gift to share with the world so that educators and leaders can create their own meaningful action across different contexts.
Exploring Language Learning Experiences of Kurdish and Turkish Asylum Claimants in Canada Through Arts-Informed Research
Authors: Palta Zehra Melike
Published: November 2023

According to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the highest level of displacement on record was reached in 2019 with 79.5 million people being forced to migrate (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 2020). Although there is a significant influx of asylum seekers arriving in Canada from Turkey, there have been no studies completed in Canada that focus on the experiences of Kurdish and Turkish refugee claimants. Asylum seekers’ lived experiences need to be further investigated because their precarious legal status together with changing governmental policies may limit their access to language education and resettlement programs. Grounded in the arts, this paper analyzes the role of languages and language-learning experiences on Turkish and Kurdish asylum seekers and their integration into Canadian life. Participants were given the opportunity to document their challenges, needs, concerns and successes related to their integration and language-learning experiences by creating different art forms. Analysis of the data is made through the lens of Cooper’s (2011) Bridging Multiple Worlds Theory and Freire’s (1972) concept of critical consciousness. This research will be informative for educators and policy makers involved in the education of young adults from refugee backgrounds.
An Inquiry Into Personal Pedagogical Content Knowledge of Science Teachers: Stories of Teaching Electricity
Authors: Azam Saiqa
Published: November 2023

This research studied the experiences of science teachers to expose their personal pedagogical content knowledge (pPCK) of teaching electricity. Three secondary and two elementary teachers participated in this research. A narrative inquiry approach was used to study their experiences of planning and teaching an electricity unit. Oral and written narrative data were collected from multiple sources before, during and after implementing the electricity unit. Data were analyzed using topic-specific PCK (TSPCK) as a conceptual framework and narrative analysis as a technique. Meaningful and coherent stories of teaching electricity were developed to gain access to participants’ pCPCK. These stories revealed many constituent elements of pPCK in the form of events, incidents or stories of teaching electricity, exposing the narrative nature of pPCK. The study further explored the similarities and differences between secondary and elementary teachers’ pPCK of teaching electricity. The study has implications for pre-service science teacher education.
Making Space in the Academy for the Curriculum of Belonging: Exploration of Indigenous Self, Coloniality and Relationships to Land
Authors: Scott Michelle Elizabeth
Published: November 2023

What does it mean to reconcile our relationships with the Land, the assimilative and violent policies of the settler colonial project that is now Canada? How can we begin to understand our own responsibilities as we relate to this Land and all our relations? How do we untangle our familial curriculum of dislocation, as we unravel the stories of the wounds and bloodlines that make up our physical, social and spiritual DNA? Taking up these questions alongside Simpson’s (2014) wholistic definition of theory as “generated and regenerated continually through embodied practice and with each family, community and generation of people” (p. 7), I began my journey from the fractures of my familial wounds, the wounds of my Mi’kmaq ancestors and their ignored relationships to the Land in Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland). Through journal entries, poetry and photographs, I documented my journey to familial sites in Ontario and Newfoundland with my teenage sons in the summer of 2019 as my own emerging curriculum of belonging. As educators, it is incumbent upon us to allow similar epistemic spaces for all learners to interrogate their own complex histories as they relate to the Land, coloniality and to the thousands-year-old relationships Indigenous peoples of North America have had with the Land. We must make spaces for them to invite the embodied, familial, personal stories to take form so that they can begin to enter their own curriculum of belonging (and responsibility) with this Land, wherever they are.
Challenging Modernism through Hyperreality in Mosquitoes Play Script
Authors: Wardhany Ragita Salma
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this research is to challenge the modernism view and principles by revealing the negative issues and impacts of technology as portrayed in Mosquitoes (2017) play script written by Lucy Kirkwood. The research uses a qualitative method in showing and elaborating the findings. To challenge the modernism view, the research undertaken uses postmodernism lens with Jean Baudrillardâ€™s theory of simulation, simulacra, and hyperreality in analyzing situation and forms of those concepts which are hidden in the text. This research discovers that the advancement of technology makes the characters very dependent on technology itself, especially on computers, mobile phones, and the internet. However, this technological dependence is not accompanied by significant benefits as modernists assert, but rather tends to produce detrimental effects for the characters. The detrimental effect of using technology is that the characters are trapped in a world of hyperreality manifested in the form of fake news and cybercrimes, causing some serious problems that must be dealt with by them since the boundaries between real and fake have collapsed. This cause-effect regarding technology and hyperreality emphasizes a paradox that technology which is supposed to be controlled by humans yet control humans themselves because technology takes a role in shaping the way humans think and behave. In essence, the findings of this research reinforce that the positive view of modernism on advancement in human civilization is not fully materialized.

Cinematizing the Victorian Novel to Cinema "Pride and Prejudice"
Authors: Rahmah Nurul Aulia , Iman Diah Tyahaya
Published: November 2023

Jane Austen's novels and clever heroines and romantic interests have been adapted into movies and television shows for decades. This study explores a literary adaptation of Jane Austen's novel entitled Pride and Prejudice, published in1813. It was adapted to the screen by Joe Wright in 2005 and written by Deborah Moggach. We shall discuss how Joe Wright interpreted the setting and conflict. This research was conducted using the adaptation theory proposed by Linda Hutcheon. We argue that the movie interestingly altered the setting to show the characters' romantic scenes and the major characters' social economy level. The movie provides its audience transposition of major external and internal conflicts among the major characters. The movie has minimized the issues of social condition status and women's roles in the Victorian era. Moreover, the film focuses on finding true love, the power of love, and the romantic scene. Joe Wright realistically maintains the struggle of romantic relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth and the beautiful landscape setting makes the audience feel it.

Published: November 2023

This research studies rural life as the setting in Mark Twainâ€™s masterpiece, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This research investigates rural life employed by Mark Twain as the setting in the novel. Besides, it highlights the kinds of rural settings intertwined in the story. Finally, this research also investigates how far the settings function to deliver the theme of the novel. In analyzing the work, the study applies a formalist approach that focuses on the textâ€™s intrinsic elements, in this case, the settings. It also utilizes the qualitative method and library research as the method of the study. Finally, it is found that the settings of place are the most dominant setting that carries the novelâ€™s rural aspect compared to the time and social settings. Mississippi River and the villages as the settings of place also play an essential role in delivering one of the storyâ€™s themes, the conflict between natural life and civilized life.

Code-switching in Bilingual Classroom in Sri Lanka: Differing Perception of Teacher and Students
Authors: Abeywickrama Rohan
Published: November 2023

Code-switching occurs in multilingual cultures where citizens have the right and ability to speak two or more languages. This phenomenon can frequently be seen in the English Medium classrooms in the Sri Lankan state school where English and Sinhala are used interchangeably for classroom practices. This article aims to examine subject teachers’ and students’ perspectives towards the use of English and Sinhala for instruction and learning in English medium classrooms in state schools in Sri Lanka, thus identifying how code-switching impacts on students’ performance. The study used mixed method for data collection. Five English medium teachers of three schools in the Hambantota district in Sri Lanka were interviewed and forty students who are learning the subjects in English medium in five schools were distributed questionnaires. The study used random sampling method for selecting the participants and Thematic Analysis (TA) for identifying, organizing, and interpreting data. One key finding of this study is that most teachers employ code-switching in bilingual classrooms in order to make the students familiarize with the subject matter. Although the majority of students are willing to speak English, as a medium of instruction in bilingual classrooms, students need their teachers to explain the lessons in both media. Although code-switching can enhance a student’s knowledge of a specific subject it does not make the student a better speaker or a writer. The current study has implications for bilingual teachers, students, syllabus, and material designers.
Reflection of Faith in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code Novel (2003): New Criticism
Authors: Tridiarto Agitya Agung , Nurhidayat Nurhidayat
Published: November 2023

The Da Vinci Code Novel is one of the famous works from Dan Brown, it narrates about the conflict between Priory of Sion and the church a long time ago. The novel would show us the sacred of Holy Grail which has been covered and the mystery of the codes. The conflict of faith is something that makes the novel complicated and more interesting to read. a faith is also important in determining people’s life because it is an attitude even though it is not always true, thus it cannot become a standard of truth. The writer uses New Criticism approach to find the main problem and conflicts related to research question. The writer also uses a qualitative method to describe the finding. In the end of the study, the writer finds that The Da Vinci Code novel have several faiths reflected, namely; (1) the last supper painting that breaks people’s faith, (2) holy grail and the secret of Christianity’s faith, (3) the priory of sion as the guardian, and (4) the truth of faith. At the same time, the main problem in the novel is a different perspective on the Holy Grail due to the lack of relevant information and their long-established faith, thus they assume that it is true. We cannot claim either of them was wrong because it refers to their own needs. In fact, there is no absolute truth for human being, it is because the truth we have is only own perspective and it does not apply for everyone.
The Image of Children in Roald Dahl's Matilda
Authors: Faradilla Aina Noor Ade , Hakim Arief Rahman
Published: November 2023

his research aims to explore the image of the children as it is constructed by the educational institution particularly by the teachers in the novel Matilda. This research is a descriptive qualitative study with applies the theory of imagology by Milan Kundera and the image of the child by Loris Malaguzzi. This research used the close textual analysis method to describe and analyze the meaning, structure, and function contained in the text. The result of this research shows that the different images of the children constructed by two teacher characters of the novel. The image of the children constructed by Miss Honey is that the children are innocent, potential, and dependent. While the image of the children constructed by Mrs. Trunchbull is that children are a source of trouble, disgusting, disturbing, and should not exist in the world. Based on the image of the children constructed by Miss Honey and Mrs. Trunchbull, these two teacher figures show different behaviors when they interact with children. Miss Honey tends to pay special attention to children, teach them new things in a fun way, and be open to children. While Mrs. Trunchbull shows abusive behavior in children such as shouting, cursing, and giving harsh punishments to children. Therefore, based on the results of research conducted, it can be concluded that the image of children is not always the same in the eyes of everyone and the image they construct in children affects the way they treat children.

Meaningful Life Orientations in the Prevention of Mental Health of Medical Workers, in Connection with the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Authors: Papko Elena Vladimirovna
Published: November 2023

The article highlights the features of life-meaning orientations of medical workers during the spread of COVID-19. The possibilities of prevention of psychological health as a way to reduce maladaptation and psychological problems among doctors and nursing staff are considered. The purpose of the article is to identify possible strategies of an individual approach within the framework of updating the life-meaning orientations of medical workers to reduce the impact of distress. In the theoretical part of the article, the experience of studying the characteristics of the emotional and personal sphere of medical workers is considered. The results of a study of 84 medical workers with more than 3 years of experience directly involved in working with patients with COVID-19 are described. Achieving life goals and paying attention to the process of life is significant for medical personnel, which indicates a commitment to future orientation, building plans and projects, perceiving the process of life as interesting and rich. Doctors pay significantly more attention to the development and construction of a picture of the future compared to the average medical staff, thus they are more focused on the future, development and achievements that will occur over time. The doctors had statistically more pronounced results, allowing them to note the orientation towards goals in life, while the average medical staff is distinguished by the orientation towards the result of life, a sense of how productive and meaningful the part of it was lived. The model of psychological prevention is based on the actualization of life-meaning orientations that allow to maintain balance and search for personal resources. The prevention program focused on teaching self-regulation methods and conducting group psychotherapy.

Objetivo: Estabelecer o perfil para mortalidade neonatal no estado de Minas Gerais, entre 2011 e 2021 Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico, retrospectivo, longitudinal e quantitativo, com coleta de dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) entre os anos de 2011 a 2021. Resultados: Com base nos dados encontrados, a taxa de mortalidade neonatal diminuiu consideravelmente nos últimos anos. A taxa média de mortalidade neonatal no período analisado foi de 8,28 óbitos a cada mil nascidos vivos.  Além disso, a maior concentração é no componente neonatal precoce, principalmente nas primeiras 24 horas de vida. Foram encontradas variáveis que podem contribuir para a mortalidade nos primeiros 27 dias de vida, entre elas: sexo masculino, etnia indígena, parto vaginal, baixo peso ao nascer, prematuridade, mãe nos extremos de idade e com baixo grau de escolaridade. Conclusão: Apesar das limitações encontradas em relação a divergência de informações entre o Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e o Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC), foi possível elaborar um perfil para os óbitos neonatais que ocorrem no estado.

A 27-year-old lady presented with watering, redness, blurring of vision and foreign body sensation in right eye since 3 days. On slit lamp examination, there was conjunctival follicular reaction and two pin head sized subepithelial infiltrates (SEI) suggestive of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis. Patient was started with ganciclovir 0.15% ointment along with fluorometholone-tobramycin drops with which patient relieved off her symptoms in 1 week and then discontinued herself but recurred with the same symptoms in 1 month. Initial two SEIs were progressed to six which all were disappeared after restarting fluorometholone-tobramycin drops. Presences of SEIs require prompt management with topical steroid and adequate treatment is needed till it resolved completely thereby permanent scarring of the cornea can be avoided.

Purpose. Morphological assessment of fibrearchtechtonics of dispersed allografts made of cadaveric fascia lata. Material and methods. The morphological study of cadaveric fascia lata, made of its whole spirits-preserved and crushed grafts (10 samples each) was carried out. Light microscopy of collagen fibers (thickness of fiber bundles and gaps between them) in glycosaminoglycans (Hale's hystochemical reaction) was performed. Results. Studies of fascia lata samples which underwent technological processing showed that the tissue structure and its glycosaminoglycans are preserved; there was only a slight defibration of collagen fiber bundles. At the same time cellullar elements undergo complete destruction which reduces the immugenicity of allograft. It has been established that, in general, dispersed allografts have the same properties as native and preserved ones. Conclusion. Physicochemical processing of donor tissues, its crushing, fractioning and radiant sterilization allow to keep fibrearchtechtonics of fascia lata when making dispersed allografts, what is important for regenerative processes in ophthalmic surgery. Key words: morphological study, fibrearchtechtonics, fascia lata, structure, grafts, injectable biomaterials
