Purpose. To analyze the current state of development of gastronomic tourism in Lviv region, in particular, the area related to the activities of dairy farms engaged in cheese making and presenting their products and services in the tourist market of the region; to systematize data on key areas of their work, to reflect the specifics of the formation of the tourist offer; describe the main tourist services; cartographically visualize the location of tourist-oriented cheese factories within the region. Method. The study used the method of scientific systematization of information to identify those farms in Lviv region that specialize in cheesemaking and work in parallel in the tourism market; methods of field research and surveys revealed the specifics of individual farms, key areas of their work, problems and prospects for tourism development; with the help of a cartographic method the location of the studied farms within the region is visualized.. Results. The study characterizes the main products produced by the studied farms, and also highlights and systematizes the range of tourist services that the owners of farms and cheese factories offer to their visitors. In particular, all studied farms actively combine farming and tourism activities, but differ in their approaches to farming, the presence or absence of their own farm, and the scale of production. However, everyone is engaged in cheese making, which is the basis of the development of gastronomic tourism. The location of these farms within the region is shown on the map, which allows to visualize the studied farms within the region, as well as the proximity or distance from the main tourist centers of the region. The activities of farms that plan to occupy the niche of tourism-oriented cheese factories in the region are studied. The key problems and prospects for the development of cheese factories in the tourism market of the region are summarized. The scientific novelty of the obtained results consists in the generalization of information about the active cheese factories of the Lviv region, the analysis of their offer on the tourist market and the prospects for further use. The practical significance lies in the systematization of information about the current state of development of cheese factories in the Lviv region. The obtained scientific results can be used in the process of forming tours of Lviv Oblast, as well as in the educational process of training future specialists in the specialty «Tourism». In addition, the findings can be useful for state authorities for the formation and implementation of state and regional programs for the development of tourism, and the formation of strategies for the near future.

Published: October 2022

Location evaluation applications are one of the most imperative services in GPS position applications. The Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a versatile and legacy technology has been providing a reliable and accurate position of objects on Earth. The uncertain GPS position is considered an initialization parameter for many inherent systems in today’s world. This initialization position estimate has a wide variety of applications such as Coast line maps, understanding the geo-dynamical phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and subsequent originating source mechanisms, Mean Sea level estimation for contours of land surfaces, Oceanic en-route as well as in mobile and Vehicular technologies etc. The validation and reliability of the results of all those applications is dependent on the accuracy of the position estimate given by GPS. In this work an attempt is made to retrieve accurate and reliable position parameters from GPS by correcting the measurement errors for all the visible satellites at every epoch. The maximum and minimum pseudo ranges in L2 signal observed are 2437404.2 meters and -76295.22 meters.

Authors: Chudakov Alexandr Y. , Bozhchenko Alexandr P. , Khrustaleva Yulia A. , Tolmachev Igor A.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Cold trauma is one of the leading causes of violent death in the Russian Federation due to the peculiarities of its geographical location. The pathophysiological processes occurring in the human body during hypothermia remain insufficiently studied despite a large number of studies, and quantitative characteristics of diagnostic signs most often used in expert practice are not precise.
AIMS: To clarify and supplement the complex characteristic and pathognomonic macro- and microscopic signs of fatal acute general cold injury
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Morphological signs of death from general hypothermia were analyzed based on the materials of forensic medical examinations concerning 460 corpses of people who died from hypothermia in the air using descriptive statistics, content-, and formal-logical methods.
RESULTS: The macro- and microscopic signs of cold injury have been clarified, supplemented, and systematized. A quantitative assessment of the frequency of occurrence (detectability) of diagnostically significant signs, most often used in expert practice, is given. The main signs of death from general hypothermia include ischemia of the shell in combination with fullness and edema of the core of the body, blood thickening with coagulations, micro- and macrothrombosis with hemorrhages into internal organs (brain, brain membranes, heart, lungs, kidneys, stomach, etc.), spasm (rigor mortis) of various muscle groups, and trophic and necrotic changes in internal organs.
CONCLUSION: The revealed signs of death from general acute deep hypothermia in the air expand the existing ideas about the complex characters and pathognomonic signs in this type of injury and allows reliable differential diagnosis of the cause of death during the forensic examination of a corpse.
Transformation and Reconstruction of Historical Narratives: Analysis of Narrations About Otto II’s Battle in Calabria
Authors:   The Korean Society For German History, Lee Hye-Min
Published: October 2022

In Sigebert of Gembloux’s Chronica, the record of the year 982 is not a mere compilation of an episcopal biography written by Alpert of Metz, to whom the author refers as his source. In this short chapter, Sigebert not only recounts “the flight and escape of the emperor (die Flucht und Rettung des Kaisers)” during Otto II’s battle in Calabria, but he also implies a political interpretation, as Alpert did before him, by highlighting the anti-Byzantine episode in which Theophano frivolously insults the Ottonian troops.
However, the same historical event of 982 has different implications when specific historical contexts and intentions of two authors’ writings are taken into account: Alpert intended to advocate for the bishop Dietrich of Metz who supported Henry II against the young emperor Otto III and his mother Theophano. On the other hand, Sigebert’s writing can be read under the perspective of the Two Emperors’ Problem (Zweikaiserproblem). Even though the context of the Crusade can also be discerned in this passage, Sigebert presents the principal agents of conflicts as the Ottonians and the Byzantines, assigning the Saracens to a supporting role. Other slight variations are also found in Sigebert’s narration when compared to the text written by Alpert such as in the case of the reason of Otto II’s campaign in Southern Italy, the existence of the Slav “merchant”, and the second flight of Otto II from the Byzantine ship. Sigebert’s writing is not so much a faithful summary of Alpert’s text as it is a meticulous reconstruction of a historical narrative within the framework of his Universal history which seeks to uncover the historical meaning and role of the Medieval German Empire.
The ‘Influenza of 1918’ and World War I: Focusing on the response and influence of the German army
Authors:   The Korean Society For German History, KIM Geonwoo
Published: October 2022

The most fundamental starting point of this study is to discover cases of infectious diseases in the past in the process of entering a new era due to the COVID-19 pandemic that mankind is experiencing, to find historical lessons, and to find ways to prevent and overcome the pandemic that may come again.
The place where the ‘influenza’ began is still uncertain in detail, and the first appearance in the German military was on the Western Front against France. And it suffered the most during the first pandemic. When the first pandemic spread to the military, specific, systematic, and medical responses to the epidemic were not implemented within the German military, and countermeasures were not properly implemented. Due to the first pandemic, the German general offensive on the Western Front in 1918 had to disrupt the mobilization of soldiers. Along with various other events, it appears as the cause of failure. However, it is difficult to say that the ‘1918 influenza’ had a decisive impact on the end of the war.
Notes for the Rural Criminologist: Conducting Field Research with Rural Law Enforcement
Authors: Peterson Jessica Rene
Published: October 2022

Drawing primarily on research with law enforcement officers in rural East Texas, this research note explores the practical challenges of conducting qualitative research with rural police and provides tips for successfully overcoming the barriers that arise. Conducting qualitative research in a rural setting, especially with rural law enforcement agencies and officers, presents unique challenges. As with all rural investigations, defining ‘rural’ and identifying a target space to study is the first substantial hurdle. Once a rural community has been identified, the researcher will face issues related to the geographic distance or isolation of their chosen community that can affect their physical access to the research site and data. Traveling to and navigating rural spaces requires extensive preparation that may be easily overlooked if the researcher is accustomed to collecting data in and from urban cities and agencies. Additionally, and perhaps more significantly, challenges involving sociocultural access accompany rural research projects. Regarding law enforcement specifically, the intersection of the rural community’s culture, dense social networks, and an often-distinct occupational police subculture can either be advantageous, or present obstacles, to successful completion of research. Furthermore, the rural researcher must consider their physical and emotional safety when interviewing, engaging, or participating with first responders. Backup may be delayed due to the geographic expansiveness of an agency’s jurisdiction and the fact that few officers are patrolling at a given time, and treatment in the event of a tragic encounter may be limited due to the lack – sometimes simultaneously in quantity and quality – of healthcare facilities and providers.
‘Facebook is the Devil’: Exploring Officer Perceptions of Cyber-based Harms Facing Youth in Rural and Remote Communities
Authors: Adorjan Michael , Ricciardelli Rosemary , Huey Laura
Published: October 2022

Policing research, still largely concentrated on urban contexts, is increasingly recognizing the unique features of police work in rural regions. Beyond notable differences such as lower overall levels crime and fewer (though more sporadically distributed) people, little is also known regarding rural police understandings and responses to online mediated harms, including relatively serious forms of cyberbullying, non-consensual ‘sexting’, and other forms of crime mediated online. Interviews with police officers (N = 42) here focus on their views regarding police work in response to cyber-mediated harm facing youth in rural and remote Atlantic Canada. Responses center on how rural regions play a role in mediating the nature of online conflict and police respond to such conflict. Officers highlight several related challenges, such as lack of parental support, and how some youth ‘define deviancy down’, referring to a lack of recognition regarding the harm caused by cyberbullying and non-consensual sexting (including issues related to the distribution of child pornography). Implications are discussed for research on rural policing where evidence-based practices remain lacking.
The Value Basis of the Society of Symbolic Consumption
Authors:   Saratov State University, Kim M.A.
Published: October 2022

The article is dedicated to consideration of values in a society of symbolic consumption. Changes in all spheres of society forces people to think about the value basis of their own life. The ethics of hoarding is replaced by the ethics of squandering, and it happens because of the spread of symbolic consumption. Symbolic consumption interacts with the moral sphere of social consciousness, creating new value structure. Therefore we must search personal identity in the space of a society.

Representación de la identidad del individuo en el diseño de identidad visual del producto
Authors: MARTÍN-FRANCÉS AGUSTÍN
Published: October 2022

La extendida estrategia de ofrecer los productos de consumo masivo en grandes hipermercados, donde la interacción entre vendedor y comprador ha desaparecido, ha llevado a considerar el packaging como algo imprescindible para conectar con el consumidor. En este contexto, el producto debe destacar entre la competencia del lineal mediante su aspecto, tanto por su forma como por su gráfica. Precisa, por tanto, de una fuerte identidad para ser el elegido y acabar en el carrito. Su diseño gráfico no consistirá únicamente en dotar de un estilo atractivo a la información de su contenido. Deberá emplear elementos gráficos que doten de personalidad al producto, que comuniquen de una manera directa lo que tienen de especial. La identidad del producto no se resuelve con la marca del fabricante, sino que necesita más recursos gráficos, principalmente emocionales. En ocasiones se recurre a retratos de individuos que respaldan su identidad.

Reescrituras de la proximidad
Authors: DI CAMPLI ANTONIO
Published: October 2022

La pandemia es una experiencia significativa, que impone una discontinuidad conceptual en nuestras formas de pensar, sobre todo en torno al sentido de urbanidad tal y como se ha definido en tanto en America Latina como en Occidente en los dos últimos siglos. Es necesario inventar nuevas relaciones, economías y formas de vida, especialmente en la escala de la proximidad. El discurso en torno al proyecto de la mixité socioespacial podría perder fuerza y ​​probablemente habrá una tendencia a redefinir nuestros sistemas de espacios públicos como infraestructuras de seguridad. El término infraestructura indica todo lo que permite la acumulación y redistribución de la riqueza, incluidos tanto los sistemas físicos como los dispositivos para sustentar las relaciones sociales. La infraestructura, en su declive marxista, es un sistema socio-técnico denso y un dispositivo de figuración socio-espacial. A través de ella se expresan relaciones de poder, se identifican condiciones de privilegio y vulnerabilidad.

Descolonizando la música: la creación de la primera Licenciatura en Música Autóctona, Clásica y Popular de América
Authors: IGLESIAS ROSSI ALEJANDRO
Published: October 2022

Las creaciones musicales autóctonas, clásicas y populares en América han generado a través de los siglos un corpus geocultural per se. Sin embargo, esa extraordinaria riqueza no se ha visto reflejada en una teoría y praxis alternativa a aquella heredada de los estudios académicos de la tradición musical europea.

En el mundo actual, en el que la genuina creatividad cultural se encuentra amenazada de desintegración por la globalización, la creación, interpretación, investigación y enseñanza musical en nuestro continente se hallan en una encrucijada: la de desarrollar, a través de una verdadera epistemología de descolonización, un entramado simbólico endógeno que la ubique en su propia singularidad.

En este contexto, el presente artículo desarrollará el marco conceptual artístico-académico que permitió la creación de la Licenciatura en Música Autóctona, Clásica y Popular de América en la Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero.

Examining the Interplay between Self-regulated Learning Activities and Types of Knowledge within a Computer-simulated Environment
Authors: Li Shan , Huang Xiaoshan , Wang Tingting , Pan Zexuan , Lajoie Susanne P.
Published: October 2022

This study examined the temporal co-occurrences of self-regulated learning (SRL) activities and three types of knowledge (i.e., task information, domain knowledge, and metacognitive knowledge) of 34 medical students who solved two tasks of varying complexity in a computer-simulated environment. Specifically, we explored the effects of task complexity on SRL activities, types of knowledge, and their interplay using epistemic network analysis (ENA). We also compared the differences between high and low performers. The results showed that the use of SRL activities, especially the planning and monitoring activities, was more intensive in a difficult task compared to an easy task. Students also used more domain knowledge to solve the difficult task. For both tasks, domain knowledge and metacognitive knowledge co-occurred most frequently, followed by the co-occurrence of domain knowledge and planning. Nevertheless, the interplay of SRL activities and types of knowledge is generally different between the two tasks. Moreover, we found that high performers used significantly more metacognitive knowledge than low performers in the easy task. However, no significant differences were found in the use of SRL activities between high and low performers in both tasks. This study makes theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions to the area of SRL in clinical reasoning.
The Life Significance of an Outward Bound Expedition: A Retrospective Study Up to 50 Years Later
Authors: Daniel Brad , Bobilya Andrew J. , Faircloth W. Brad
Published: October 2022

This cross-sectional retrospective study examined the life significance of participation in an Outward Bound (OB) course up to 50 years later to discover what participants learned, if their opinion had changed, whether it played a significant role in their lives subsequently, and its relative importance in comparison to other life experiences. Respondents (n = 180) from 1967-2017 represented 46 of the 50 years. Over 90% indicated that their OB course(s) had made a positive difference in their lives. Emergent themes indicated that their OB course: a) promoted greater confidence and courage, b) provided lessons and skills that were transferred to other life contexts, c) increased their self and social awareness, d) helped them develop teamwork skills. These findings enhance our understanding of the long-term impact of OB and OB-type expeditions and support the notion that significant experiences are often used as reference points in a person's life story.

Authors: AYDIN Özlem , DÖKMECİ GÜNEY Damla , EMECEN Ahmet Naci , ERGEN Pinar , AYHAN İhsan , AYAZ Reyhan
Published: October 2022

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the resistance to asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) between term and preterm pregnancies.
Material and Methods: Pregnant women aged 17-41 years who were followed up in the obstetrics department of our hospital and whose urine cultures were sent to the laboratory for analysis and reported as ABU were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to gestational weeks as preterm (<37 weeks) and term (≥37 weeks). The results were compared between the two groups.
Results: From among a total of 123 pregnant women, 29 (23.6%) delivered at preterm and 94 (76.4%) at term. The most frequently identified pathogen throughout the study group was 52.0% (n=64) Escherichia coli (E. coli), followed by 16.3% (n=20) Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae). There was no statistically significant difference in terms of the distribution of E. coli and S. agalactiae between the term and preterm groups (p=0.698 and p=0.930). E. coli was resistant to ampicillin 56.3% (n=36), to cefuroxime 40.6% (n=26). While fosfomycin resistance was 1.6% (n=1), nitrofurantoin resistance was not found. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase positivity was 23.4% (n=15) in E. coli strains. No statistically significant difference was found in antibiotic resistance rates of E. coli strains between the term and preterm groups.
Conclusion: The most commonly isolated pathogen was E. coli which was highly resistant to beta-lactams. Screening of pregnant women for ABU and treatment with appropriate antibiotics; is the most effective way to prevent both maternal and fetal complications and antimicrobial resistance.
Who am i? Taylor’s selfhood and the transcendental condition of conversation
Authors: Chrzanowska Klementyna
Published: October 2022

Through a close reading of a small section of Sources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity, this paper aims to highlight what is, in the author’s view, a particularly significant aspect of Charles Taylor’s conception of the constitution of selfhood. Namely, its entanglement in speech. “We don’t have selves in the way we have hearts and livers”, Taylor argues. We ‘have selves’ through the constant effort of articulation, which we are only capable of because we learned it from and with others in what Taylor calls the original situation of conversation. If the human ability to speak is the underlying feature behind self-interpretation, morality, and community – all important components of identity in Taylor’s view – then the very way we ‘have language’ will strongly impact the way we ‘have selves’. Language theory must thus become an important element of considerations on human identity and selfhood.

The impact of school on career choice among secondary school students
Authors: Mtemeri Jeofrey
Published: October 2022

Many factors affect how people make career choices. The study sought to investigate school influence on career pathways among secondary school students in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. The investigation serves as a springboard to establishing a career guidance model that would assist career guidance teachers in high schools in their endeavours to help students make career choices from a well-informed perspective. A self-designed questionnaire was used in collecting data from the participants. One thousand and ten high school students and 20 career guidance teachers participated in the study. Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 19 was used to calculate the percentages that were used to analyse the data. The study revealed that schools had an impact on secondary school students’ choice of careers. The geographical location of schools was cited as quite influential in the choices of careers by students and career guidance teachers are allowed to teach career guidance.

Assessment of the role of demographic variables in students' performance in economics
Authors: Bichi Ado Abdu , Bako Hindatu A.
Published: October 2022

Economics as a subject is regarded as the bedrock of all management and social science-based disciplines. The persistently low level of students’ achievement in economics in senior secondary school examinations has become a thing of great concern to all stakeholders. This study examined students’ performance in the Senior Secondary School economics qualifying examination in Kano State and the influence of sex and schools' nature on their performances in economics. An ex-post facto design of descriptive research was adopted for the study. A proforma was used to collect data from a sample of 300 students, selected using a stratified random sampling procedure from the secondary schools in Kano State, Nigeria. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent-sample t-test to test the hypotheses. Overall results showed that students performed above average and a significant gender difference exists in economics performance. Similarly, there is no significant difference in students’ performance with respect to the schools' nature (boarding and day schools).

Understanding biological processes in soil
Authors:   Oregon State University, USA, O’Kelley Regina , Myrold David D. ,   Oregon State University, USA
Published: October 2022

Soil health fundamentally reflects biological processes in the soil ecosystem. The development of soil health frameworks and associated indicators have increasingly prioritized biologically relevant characteristics of soil. Some of these properties, like soil organic carbon, reflect resources available for microbes. Others, like community composition, indicate the functional potential of the microbiome to participate in soil processes. The synergistic effect of resources and functional potential are manifested in indicators, such as carbon mineralization, that measure microbial activity. To better interrogate the variable states of soil health, underlying influences on biological indicators should inform both selection of indicators to study and interpretation of results. In this chapter we discuss the historical methodology that eventually led to soil health research, current efforts to refine biological indicators, and more advanced techniques that might eventually be integrated into soil health frameworks.

Modern agriculture relies on the extensive use of chemicals to combat plant diseases and increase agricultural productivity which leads to health and environmental hazards. In the recent past, soil microorganisms, such as the plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) or rhizobacteria (PGPR), have emerged as a promising tool for eco-friendly alternatives to reduce or replace the application of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides for a more sustainable crop production. PGPB/PGPR are involved in several mechanisms including nutrient cycling, alleviation of biotic/abiotic stress, hormone synthesis and soil bioremediation. In this chapter, an overview on the PGPB/PGPR roles is reported, with special focus on the mechanisms involved in PGRB/PGPR-mediated mitigation of abiotic and biotic stress in plants and their interaction with other components of the rhizosphere, i.e., the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF).

Soil acidity is a threat to a healthy soil with far-reaching consequences, both direct and indirect, on soil chemical and physical properties, impacting the growth, health and composition of organisms growing in a soil and with potential for negative off-site impacts. All agricultural production systems are acidifying meaning that the amelioration of acidity is essential in maintaining and improving the health of agricultural soils. The application of finely-ground limestone (CaCO3) remains the most efficient means of ameliorating low soil pH due to its high neutralizing value. However, the sparingly soluble nature of lime increases the time it takes to react with the soil volume. The mixing of lime through cultivation goes some way to overcoming this barrier but is only effective to the depth of incorporation in the short term. Lime movement below the depth of incorporation is very slow. As a consequence, acidic subsurface soils are common and lime can have limited effect on the amelioration of subsurface acidity in the short term. Liming, therefore, needs to be a pro-active, long-term strategy, aiming to avoid degradation of the soil resource by minimizing the inevitable acidification of subsurface depths.

Soil health is one of the most popular research agendas in current agriculture science. It has been addressed to some extent for centuries, but today we have the scientific tools to examine and quantify chemical, physical and biological aspects of soil. The link of soil health to human and animal health and the environment may seem obvious, but considerable debate still ensues both about ways to define soil health and how far particular soil management practices promote healthy soils. This chapter provides an overview of these debates. Better links to crop physiological outcomes and yield, and links to human and animal nutrition, are still required to better define soil health. Overall, the science of soil health is an exciting field of research required to ensure health and productive food and fiber systems that will benefit human and animal health, functioning ecosystems, and environmental integrity.

Objective: Malnutrition is a risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and early nutritional risk assessment should be performed consistently and promptly to determine the proper nutritional therapy and lead to a good prognosis. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in determining the severity of hospitalized COVID-19 patients.Methods: In this retrospective single-center research, a total of 686 hospitalized adult patients with COVID19 between April 2020-June 2020 were analyzed. Demographic, clinical, radiological and laboratory data were registered from patient files. Nutritional status was evaluated using the BMI and PNI. Patients were divided into three groups according to PNI values: severe (PNI ≤ 35), moderate (35(PNI≥38).Results: The study group's average PNI score was 35.56 ± 4.58.PNI values were found to be normal in 37.3 percent (N: 256) of the patients, moderate in 28.3 percent (N: 194), and severe in 34.4 percent (N: 236). Male patients, those over the age of 65, referred patients, intubated patients, and those who died were at a higher risk of severe PNI. Patients with normal computed tomography scans were found to have a higher incidence in the normal PNI. The length of hospitalization increased in proportion to the severity of PNI. As the severity of the PNI category increased, so did albumin, C reactive protein, D-dimer, ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase, and neutrophil levels. The total protein value decreased, as the severity of the PNI category increased.Conclusion: PNI can be determined easily and quickly using routine blood tests and it can be useful for early detection of potentially fatal illnesses, giving medical care and improving prognosis.

Considering that human beings go through many emotional states under uncertain conditions, how people deal with these emotions arouses curiosity. Although it has also positive effects, uncertainty, which usually has negative connotations and may create feelings such as stress, anxiety and despair, appears as an issue that should be put excessive emphasis on. For this very reason, in this study, strategic readiness is discussed as one of the accepted methods to deal with uncertainty itself. Strategic readiness is defined as a planned readiness in the presence of change and unpredictable processes. From this point of view it becomes clear that it is important to make a conscious preparation for all situations that develops or may develop due to uncertainty. This study reveals the teachers' states of being ready and their opinions on how they behave under uncertainty. In this regard, the nine teachers’ opinions were sought by the method of case study. Based on the maximum diversity sample, data were collected from teachers working at primary, secondary and high schools via video calls; and the data were described by content analysis method. According to the research findings, the uncertainty especially during the pandemic created a great need for teachers to make a planned self-regulation. As a matter of fact, the uncertainties experienced left the teachers with feelings such as defenseless, anxious, stressed, pessimistic, fearful and hopeless at first, and made them feel inadequate about what kind of attitude and behavior to improve. Later, these feelings were replaced by some feelings such as indifference, acceptance, ignorance and tides. As a result, the importance of readiness both psychologically and organizationally became prominent, although it is difficult to act in accordance with the rapid changing conditions. It is recommended that school principals keep in communication with teachers; so by this way, It is observed that the intense interaction can minimize the destructive effects created by uncertainty. There is a need for teachers to be guided and support.

Authors: KILIÇOĞLU Gökçe , AYDEMİR Arcan
Published: October 2022

The main aim of the research is to explore the views of social studies educator academics, social studies teachers, and social studies novice teachers regarding the Social Studies Curriculum (SSC) published in Turkey between 2005 and 2018 in the light of SWOT analysis dimensions. Thus, the views on the programmes are discussed in the context of their strengths, weaknesses, the opportunities that they offer, and the concerns that they may raise. In the study, which was based on the qualitative approach, the phenomenology model was used. The sampling group of the research consists of 36 participants, who were determined on a voluntary basis from social studies educator academics, social studies teachers, and social studies novice teachers. A data collection tool was prepared in line with expert opinion in order to receive participants’ views, taking into account the four dimensions of the SWOT analysis. The data was analysed through content analysis. As a result of the research, it was concluded that while the participants expressed such views as more detailed explanations about the strengths of 2005 SSC, its student-centeredness, and the adoption of a constructivist approach, their views for the 2018 SSC were about its strengths such as the increase of numbers in values and skills and the inclusion of active citizenship. In addition, they expressed that the weakness of the 2005 SSC was that it had a complex structure and the lack of skill value diversity, whilst for the 2018 SSC it was that it did not include examples of activities for teachers. Participants, who stated that both 2005 and 2018 SSCs offered opportunities for students, teachers, and parents, also claimed that SSCs might cause some concerns such as the inability to complete the curriculum preparation timely, the inability to teach concepts and skills effectively, and the lack of understanding of the content.
