Published: June 2021

As one of the components of the national education system, teachers as the spearhead in achieving success in achieving national education goals play a very important role in the implementation of AKM. However, at the operational level of the policy, teachers do not fully understand and have sufficient competence regarding the implementation of AKM. Several problems as identified results show that the economy teachers in the district and city of Kediri: 1) do not understand the concept of AKM, both AKM AN and AKM Class; 2) does not have adequate skills in developing AKM which includes: literacy and numeracy AKM, character survey, and learning environment survey; and 3) do not have sufficient skills in developing HOTS questions for economic lessons. In order to improve the ability of teachers in AKM, training is carried out with the aim of increasing the ability of teachers to: 1) development of AKM materials; 2) development of Class AKM materials; 3) development of character survey instruments; 4) development of learning environment survey instruments; and 5) compilation of HOTS questions. The AKM training methods include: various tutorials / lectures, assignments, discussions, and evaluations. The results of the training show that teachers must have increased competency in the following aspects: AKM knowledge, literacy, numeracy, preparation of article-based AKM questions, and preparation of HOTS questions in economic subjects.

Authors: Nazarova Galyna , Demchenko Kateryna
Published: June 2021

The subject of research in the article is the theoretical foundations of the formation and development of the category of social security in the region. The purpose of the work is to analyze the preconditions for the formation of social security, to reveal the chronology of the formation of the concept of social security from the standpoint of international experience and to conduct an etymological, morphological analysis of the concept of social security. The article solves the following tasks: to investigate the theoretical aspects of the formation of the concept of social security, to determine the features and main directions of its development; to substantiate the expediency the approaches to social security; to conduct an etymological analysis of the concept of social security. The following methods are used: method of analysis and synthesis, classification-analytical method, abstract-logical method, historical-retrospective analysis and generalization. The following results were obtained: the definitions of foreign and Ukrainian scientists were systematized, morphological analysis was implemented, which made it possible to determine theoretical and methodological signs of this concept. The components of social security were justified: the macro level, the mesoroven and the micro level. The key ideas of the concept of social security, which are embedded in international and state normative legal acts, are identified. It has been proved that the reflection of the provisions of the concept of social security in international documents has influenced the practical implementation of developments in social policy around the world. The study of social security levels made it possible to distinguish the micro level, or personal level of human security. Based on the concept of social security, trends and results of social and economic processes are determined, while combining a system of goals, objectives, destabilizing and stabilizing factors of the external and internal environment. Conclusions: The analysis of social security has proved the need to focus the attention of the State on issues of social protection, namely interests, freedoms, preservation and development of human potential, ensuring a decent and high standard of living, regardless of age, gender, income level of the population. To assess the level and state of social security, it is proposed to use instrumental, situational, static, process, systemic and functional approaches. The concept of social security is complemented by modern studies of human capital, human development, and regional economy.

Published: June 2021

This study determined the effect of differentiated instruction on students’ achievement in geometry. Two research questions and two hypotheses tested at 0.05 alpha levels guided the study. The study employed pre-test post-test quasi-experimental research design. The population of the study consisted of 1603 Senior Secondary two (SSII) students in Onitsha North Local Government of Anambra State and a sample of 224 SSII students were randomly selected from two co-education secondary schools from the population. Geometry Achievement Test (GAT) which contained 30 items was face and content validated by three experts. Reliability of the instrument was estimated at 0.78 using split-half reliability method. Research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation, while the hypotheses were tested using z-test and t -test at 5% level of significance. The findings of the study showed that students that were taught geometry with differentiated instruction achieved better than those taught with conventional method. Both male and female students achieved high in geometry with the use of differentiated instruction. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean achievement scores of students taught geometry with differentiated instruction and those taught with conventional method. Again, there is no statistically significant difference between the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught geometry with differentiated instruction. It was recommended among others that Mathematics teachers and educators should adopt the use of differentiated instruction while teaching and learning mathematics. Also curriculum developers should incorporate the use of differentiated instruction in the mathematics curriculum.

The article purpose: to describe in specific terms and enrich the psychological structure of fugitive as a component of playfulness / ludic competence on the basis of theoretical, methodological and empirical research. The study results has allowed us to make the following conclusions: 1) based on the analysed using of the “fugue” word in the scientific discourses in different fields, we have assumed that “fugue” was used by the Japanese colleagues for one of the of playfulness scales as a paronym of “fugitive”; 2) by generalization of dictionary definitions, we have determined the need to replace the term “fugue” as a component of playfulness with “fugitive”; 3) the distinguished and described levels of playfulness in examined literature, video content and cases allowed us to rethink the content of fugitive and to articulate such a component as the ability to “acquire” a new identity through simulation of feigned states; 4) an “acquired” new identity determines the genre specification of “Holy Fool” ludic position: on the one hand, the variability of its cognitive, affective, behavioural manifestations (in general) and verbal and non-verbal characteristics (in particular), and on the other hand, the stereotyped behaviour imitating the “symptoms” of feigned states; 5) the criteria for the development of fugitive can be: a high level of playfulness, tolerance for uncertainty, openness to new experience, resistance to shame, creativity, the ability for self-observation, an aggressive style of humour. We define fugitive, a component of playfulness, as an ability to “acquire” a new identity through simulation of feigned states, for example, another intellectual level - genius / stupidity / insanity; another stage of moral development; altered states of consciousness - alcoholic (or narcotic) intoxication / trance / ecstasy; a state with a reduced / absent response to the world around us - sleep / fainting / death. At the same time, feigned behaviour reflected by a player him/herself and observed by Other is aimed at enhancing the sense of identity.

Published: June 2021

The article discusses approaches to the study of the “emotional burnout syndrome” in national and foreign literature and the specifics of current studies. The concept of “professional burnout of psychologists working online” has been clarified. The relevance and necessity of the proposed research because of transition of psychologists’ professional activities to the online space are determined. The article purpose is to empirically investigate the state of the problem, to determine the causes of its occurrence and possible resources for the psychological prophylaxis of professional burnout for psychologists working online. To determine the deepness of psychologists’ professional burnout, the method diagnosing a burnout syndrome in “person-to-person” professions and the author’s questionnaire were used. The experiment involved psychologists engaged in online professional activities (n = 72) with various experience of online working (from 1 to 10 years). The empirical data showed that 17% of psychologists use rarely the Internet for their professional activities, 22% use it at an average level, and 61% use it often. 33% of the surveyed psychologists confirmed that they experience professional exhaustion from activities in the Internet. It was found that 11% of psychologists showed high emotional exhaustion, 67% did an average exhaustion and 22% had low one. 6% of the specialists showed high depersonalization, 61% did average one and 23% showed low depersonalization. 1% of the psychologists showed strong reduction of professional achievements, 78% did average reduction and 6% showed low reduction.

Authors: Queiroz-Garcia Inês , Espirito Santo Helena , Pires Catarina
Published: June 2021

Objective: Psychometric properties of Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices in a Portuguese community sample were investigated. Method: The sample consists of 522 people (250 men and 272 women), aged between 12 and 95 years. All participants completed an informed consent form and a battery of neuropsychological tests, including Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM), Rey 15-Item Memory Test, Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and Rey Complex Figure Test. Results: The average in RSPM was 41.18 (SD = 12.03). The results showed that all sociodemographic variables (age, sex, education, profession, regions, and place of residence) significantly influenced RSPM scores. The reliability and temporal stability of RSPM were adequate. Conclusions: This study suggests that RSPM is an instrument with potential for use among the Portuguese population.

NILAI KESATUAN DALAM PEMBELAJARAN SEJARAH (pelaksanaannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari)
Authors: Yanti Nuur Kumala
Published: June 2021

Nilai-nilai Kesatuan dalam suatu negara tidak lepas dari dorongan apa yang sudah terjadi sebelumnya, peristiwa besejarah yang erat kaitannya dengan nilai kesatuan dan persatuan menjadi patokan dalam mencapai negara yang hebat. Arti pentingnya persatuan memang tidak lepas dari perjuangan kemerdekaan yang sudah berhasil bangsa Indonesia. Muatan peristiwa itu ada didalam pembelajaran sejarah dengan mengajarkan dan mengiring dasar sejarah penuh nilai kesatuan. Persatuan dan kesatuan merupakan senjata yang ampuh bangsa Indonesia baik dalam rangka merebut, mempertahankan kemerdekaan. Persatuan mengandung arti “bersatunya macam-macam corak yang beraneka ragam menjadi satu kebulatan yang utuh dan serasi.” Persatuan Indonesia berarti persatuan bangsa yang mendiami wilayah Indonesia. Pembelajaran sejarah banyak memuat peristiwa masa lalu yang menjunjung tinggi kesatuan, maka dari itu guru sejarah harus bisa memberikan pemahaman kesatuan terhadap padangan yang diranahkan pada pendidikan sejarah.
Preprint of "What predicts perceived economic inequality? The roles of actual inequality, system justification, and fairness considerations"
Authors: Du Hongfei , King Ronnel B.
Published: June 2021

Past studies have mostly focused on investigating actual economic inequality with less work devoted to understanding perceived economic inequality and its antecedents. However, numerous studies have shown that perceived inequality is a strong predictor of psychological, political, and social outcomes and hence is an important outcome in and of itself. This paper aims to identify the socioecological (i.e., actual inequality) and psychological (legitimation and fairness considerations) antecedents of perceived economic inequality. We hypothesized that individuals who legitimized income inequality would perceive less inequality, whereas individuals who experienced unfairness engendered by income inequality would perceive more inequality. We utilized a nationally representative sample in China (N = 33,600 respondents nested within 25 provinces) and conducted multilevel longitudinal analyses to test our hypotheses. In line with our predictions, we found that legitimation of inequality was associated with less perceived inequality six years later, whereas unfairness was associated with more perceived inequality six years later. In addition, we found that in more unequal areas, people perceived less income inequality. These longitudinal effects were robust when controlling for prior years of perceived inequality, economic development, and sociodemographic factors. Findings have implications for system justification and economic inequality theories.

Is this the possible explanation to the unpredictability of the direction of of gamma ray emission during electron-positron annihilation ?
Authors: as Jayaram
Published: June 2021

This paper shows the various parameters to be considered, duringelectron - positron annihilation. Many of the theories suggest that directionof gamma ray emission cannot be predicted. This is normally justifiedby using quantum mechanics. This paper gives an alternative explanation tounpredictability of gamma ray direction. This explanation does not require thelogic of quantum mechanics. It requires modification of classical mechanics toaccount of the forces between colliding particles.The logic of this paper is thatin case of pair production involving gamma ray and electron- positron pair, theclassical mechanics calculation itself shows perfect conservation of directionand magnitude of momentum. There, a little recoiling of the nucleus is observedfor conserving momentum. Hence it must be possible to use classicalmechanics for the process of electron- positron annihilation process also.

Published: June 2021

It is seen that the importance and need for Arabic have been increasing in Turkey in recent years, and the variety and number of programs for the Arabic language in higher education institutions are also increasing. It is noteworthy that the Arabic Language and Literature and Arabic Language Teaching departments, which have a long history, and the Arabic Translation and Interpretation departments, have been increasing in the state and private universities in recent years. In this study, the undergraduate programs of the Arabic translation and interpretation departments in the first three universities, which currently accept students from state universities, were examined from various perspectives. In these universities, the number of courses of Arabic Translation and Interpretation departments, the courses and the intensity of the translation field according to the semesters were evaluated. As a result of the study, it draws attention that there are differences between the programs. The differences observed in the undergraduate programs of these departments, which were opened for the same purpose, suggest that a common program should be created between the departments. In this context, some suggestions have been made regarding the current status of Arabic translation and interpretation undergraduate programs at universities.
