Published: August 2020

The article presents studies on the new challenges posed to education, and it is essential to think about the evaluation model used by teachers today. Therefore, we sought to analyze the evaluation planning processes carried out in the initial grades of elementary school. The results were obtained through the use of the bibliographic research method of descriptive nature and qualitative approach, performing the analysis of contents of books and scientific articles that allowed connecting the studies and empirical perspectives of the researcher, guiding the construction of the results in three sections, which were described from this point on. In the development of the article, the evaluation of teaching and learning was analyzed, and the importance of self-assessment for the impartial educator was described; and, it was possible to understand, briefly, the adoption of participatory evaluation by objectives in the educational reality of elementary school. It was concluded that the problem of the article was answered, the general objective was reached and it was confirmed the hypothesis that any instrument used by teachers and the school to perform the evaluation, configures a way to establish levels of learning, recognize the best and the worst, and especially, adapt the teaching to the standards of excellence installed by the school. Standardized measures have diverted the democratic, critical, constructive and creative sense of evaluation, preventing the path of effective learning.

Актуальність проблеми визначається необхідністю модернізації системи освіти на засадах компетентнісного підходу, інноваційності, орієнтації на формування конкурентоздатного, активного й мобільного фахівця, здатного до саморозвитку і самовдосконалення.

Мета: уточнити зміст категорій «простір», «освітній простір», «віртуальний освітній простір» та охарактеризувати психолого-педагогічні критерії формування віртуального освітнього простору майбутніх менеджерів соціокультурної діяльності.

Методи: аналіз і синтез – з метою з’ясування стану та рівня розробленості досліджуваної проблеми; узагальнення – для формулювання висновків щодо формування віртуального освітнього простору майбутніх менеджерів соціокультурної діяльності в закладах вищої освіти.

Результати. Здійснено аналіз та уточнено зміст категорій «простір», «освітній простір», «віртуальний освітній простір». Поняття «простір» представлено як освоєне середовище, в якому відбуваються події, характерною особливістю якого є нерозривний зв'язок із часом. Поняття «освітній простір закладу вищої освіти» визначено як багаторівневу систему, що програмується по горизонталі, відображаючи всю складність взаємовідносин її суб’єктів, і по вертикалі, визначаючи динаміку її стратегічного розвитку. Під віртуальним освітнім простором розуміється весь комплекс контенту розміщених в Інтернеті (тобто створених за допомогою програмного забезпечення або комп’ютерних мереж) різноманітних матеріалів навчального характеру. На основі аналізу наукових праць з’ясовано три основні напрями побудови віртуального освітнього простору: дистанційної освіти, онлайн навчання і змішаного (blended) навчання.

Висновки: Визначено шість основних психолого-педагогічних критеріїв формування віртуального освітнього простору майбутніх менеджерів соціокультурної діяльності: мотиваційний (вмотивованість здобувачів вищої освіти до використання у навчанні сучасних технологій, а саме Інтернет, розширення знань про Інтернет та можливості його застосування в подальшій професійній діяльності; здатність до самореалізації власних можливостей; потреба у формуванні власного пізнавального інтересу); інтеграційний (знання іноземної мови на професійному рівні; вміння підібрати програмні засоби для застосування Інтернет-технологій у подальшій професійній діяльності); діяльнісний (формування здібностей ділитися набутими знаннями з іншими учасниками освітнього процесу; використання Інтернет-технологій в освітньому процесі на конференціях, семінарах тощо, публікації власних напрацювань у наукових та методичних виданнях, розроблення власних проектів та їх реалізація за допомогою сучасних комп’ютерних програм та просування їх у віртуальному просторі);

Good, Evil and Successful Recognition. A Processualist View on Recognitive Attitudes, Relations and Norms
Authors: Arvi-Antti Särkelä
Published: August 2020

In this paper I am proposing a “processual” account of struggles for recognition. I read Hegel in the section of “Evil and Its Forgiveness,” in his Phenomenology of Spirit, as arguing for a transition from basically action-theoretic, relational or institutional conceptions of recognition to a processual conception. Furthermore, I will be claiming that John Dewey’s experimentalist social philosophy can be understood as an attempt at working out the implications of this move in Hegel’s thought. Finally, I will try to indicate how to integrate central concepts of the recognition-theoretical vocabulary into such a processual account.
Philanthropy and Human Rights – The Genealogy of the Idea from Antiquity to Global Society
Authors: Larsen Øjvind
Published: August 2020

In the last couple of decades, philanthropy has become a concern which is taken seriously in the Western world. Normal people give donations and volunteer on a large scale within the institutions of civil society. This is the case for business corporations as well, who now have to act with a form of personal responsibility. Such a responsibility is institutionalized in the big global CSR movement, which has now been integrated in the UN Global Compact. Philanthropy has many dimensions; these include ethical, juridical, political, economic and cultural dimensions. In the last years, a lot has been written about philanthropy from a political, sociological, anthropological and managerial perspective. However, an essential question remains: what does philanthropy mean? In a Greek context, philanthropy is connected to a friendly act towards one’s owns close connections such as family or fellow citizens, and normally utilized to promote one’s own prestige in the city-state. In Roman context, universal humanism, humanitas, was invented. This universal perspective was also supported by Christianity. It is this universal concept of philanthropy which is the foundation for the different philanthropic traditions in Germany, England, France and USA. In each tradition is developed special features of the concept of philanthropy. The four traditions are summarized in the UN universal human rights, which has become the common normative reference for global philanthropy. In this way philanthropy has become, in a modern sense, a charitable act with the aim to promote human happiness independent of gender, class, race, etc. This is the genealogy of the modern understanding of philanthropy, which will be developed in this paper.

Two alternatives are under the focus; the apparent discrepancy which has been solved in some legal documents, and the state which is frequently not unambiguous in practice.
UPPER-SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ APPROACHES TO SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS IN AN EXAMINATION DRIVEN CURRICULUM CONTEXT
Authors: Chirikure Tamirirofa
Published: August 2020

This research explored upper-secondary school students’ approaches when they engage in planning and conducting science experiments. Approaches to science experiments are important because they provide insight into students’ scientific reasoning and their enactment of scientific methods. An explanatory mixed-methods design was employed to determine and explain students’ approaches to science experiments. Data were generated by administering a 15-item Approaches to Science Experiments Questionnaire (ASEQ) on 211 participants and interviewing a smaller sample of 33. The linear approach was predominant while the divergent approach was least adopted by the participants. The teaching-learning context, substantive and procedural knowledge lead to specific approaches and the emergence of subcategories of the three broad approaches. Capable students engaged in a self-directed iterative approach while external help resulted in an assisted iterative approach. Rigid and contrived linear approaches were a result of time constraints, substantive and procedural shortcomings. Scattergun and blanking divergent approaches emerged from extreme weaknesses in substantive and procedural knowledge. Assessing practical skills through long-term projects is recommended to focus more on developing students’ scientific reasoning and process skills. Research with the ASEQ in other teaching-learning cultures, observing students in action and analysing their write-ups could provide deeper insights into approaches to science experiments. Keywords: science experiments, divergent approach, iterative approach, linear approach, mixed methods.
THE INFLUENCE OF INTERACTION WITH NATURE IN CHILDHOOD ON FUTURE PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR
Authors: Křepelková Šárka Doležalová , Krajhanzl Jan , Kroufek Roman
Published: August 2020

Pro-environmental behavior is a key to environmental sustainability. It is important to know which variables influence the development of pro-environmental behavior and how important direct interaction with nature is for future environmental engagement. The aim of the research was to examine the correlation between childhood interaction with nature and pro-environmental behavior as an adult and the mediators influencing this correlation. The respondents (N = 370) were selected by the snowball method and completed an on-line questionnaire. Bivariate correlation and parallel mediation analysis were done. Previous research studies focused mainly on one type of influence, and this research brought a comparison of three mediators. The results confirmed that interaction with nature in childhood affects future pro-environmental behavior. The main mediator seems to be the affective mediator. The cognitive mediator and interaction with nature in adulthood had only a small mediation effect. Children’s emotional bonding with nature is the important element for the development of pro-environmental behavior. This appears to be a more effective way of ensuring stronger pro-environmental behavior in the future than building environmental knowledge or relying on sufficient interaction with nature in adulthood. Keywords: affective mediator, interaction with nature, mediation analysis, pro-environmental behavior.
TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF USING THE BLENDED LEARNING APPROACH FOR STEM-RELATED SUBJECTS WITHIN THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Authors: Naidoo Jayaluxmi , Singh-Pillay Asheena
Published: August 2020

Globally, as society enters the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we require a transformation in pedagogy. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related subjects are vital to succeeding within the Fourth Industrial Revolution. To provide quality STEM education, teachers’ perceptions related to the teaching and learning of STEM-related subjects is essential to understand. This qualitative research took place at one university in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and explored teachers’ perceptions of using blended learning for STEM-related subjects. Wenger’s Communities of Practice Theory framed this research. Data were generated from workshops and semi-structured interviews. The results of this research indicated that blended learning is impeded by the lack of technology-based tools; is hampered by teacher professional development; offered the use of virtual hours for consultation and feedback and increased engagement and collaboration within STEM-related milieus. These results provide a glimpse of what teachers perceive regarding the use of blended learning for secondary school mathematics and technology. Globally, these results have relevance when considering the importance of teachers’ perceptions of using blended learning for STEM-related subjects, as society embraces the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Keywords: blended learning, communities, practice, fourth industrial revolution, mathematics teaching, qualitative, STEM-related subjects, STEM teachers, technology teaching, technology-enabled learning.
THE IMPACT OF PHYSICAL MOLECULAR MODELS ON STUDENTS' VISUO-SEMIOTIC REASONING SKILLS RELATED TO THE LEWIS STRUCTURE AND BALL & STICK MODEL OF AMMONIA
Authors: Nkosi Thobile , Mnguni Lindelani
Published: August 2020

Visuo-semiotic models, such as Lewis structures and ball & stick models, are widely used to enhance students’ learning. However, there is limited research about the impact of these models on specific visuo-semiotic reasoning skills. In the current research, we aimed to determine the extent to which physical molecular models could enhance specific visuo-semiotic reasoning skills among students. The research question that we explored was, “what is the impact of physical molecular models on Grade 11 students’ visuo-semiotic reasoning skills related to Lewis structures and ball & stick models of ammonia?” In this mixed-methods research, we collected data from purposively selected Grade 11 chemistry students aged between 15 and 18 from an under-resourced school in South Africa. Through a quasi-experimental design, participants in the experimental group (n = 101) used physical molecular models to learn about Lewis structure and ball & stick models of ammonia while participants in the control group (n = 100) did not. We subsequently tested students' visuo-semiotic reasoning skills. Results show that using physical molecular models significantly improved students' visuo-semiotic reasoning skills and reduced associated learning difficulties. We, therefore, recommend that these models should be used as an instructional tool to enhance learning. Keywords: ball & stick models, Lewis structures, physical models, visuo-semiotic reasoning.

A diminuição da disponibilidade de recursos hídricos tem tornado muitas atividades inviáveis. Quando se consegue desenvolver uma atividade que possa suprir as necessidades sociais e gerar renda, com pouca tecnologia e utilizando o mínimo de água, podemos dizer que essa atividade se torna viável sustentável. A carcinicultura pode ser uma dessas atividades, se implementada de forma responsável. Esta atividade tem se mostrado uma forte alternativa na produção de alimentos, auxiliando a suprir a crescente demanda mundial. Dada esta importância o estudo teve por objetivo analisar e avaliar o nível da sustentabilidade da carcinicultura sob os aspectos sociais, tecnológicos, ambientais e econômicos, na comunidade de Cajueiro – Aracati- CE. Utilizando como metodologia para obtenção de dados e informações características da comunidade, a aplicação de questionários, visitas ao local e análise dos relatórios técnicos, para produtores familiares, no período de janeiro a abril de 2017. A sustentabilidade foi avaliada em etapas, utilizando indicadores para cada caso. Onde podemos concluir que: as famílias apresentaram nível crítico social, conseguiram produzir com pouco tecnologia, utilizando poucos recursos naturais e de forma correta, e conseguiram com que a atividade fosse economicamente viável.

Published: August 2020

This article is the editorial introduction to the Special Issue of Scottish Affairs on Scotland and Brexit: Citizenship, Identity and Belonging. Here we outline the key themes and concerns of the Special Issue and contextualise the various contributions that follow. In particular we focus on issues of rights, identity, representation and entitlement in the context of growing social divisions and shifting boundaries of citizenship. We consider, too, Scotland as a distinctive part of the Brexit discourse, and explore the past, present and future of Scotland in a changing UK and EU.
Applying for Settled Status: Ambivalent and reluctant compliance of EU citizens in post-Brexit Scotland
Authors: Botterill Kate , Bogacki Mariusz , Burrell Kathy , Hörschelmann Kathrin
Published: August 2020

This article contributes to scholarship concerning the effects of the UK Referendum on EU membership and Brexit on EU citizen rights in the UK (Botterill, McCollum and Tyrrell, 2018 ; Burrell and Schweyher, 2019 ; Gawlewicz and Sotkasiira, 2019 ; Huber, 2019 ). The paper focuses on applications for, and meanings of, ‘settled status’ among Polish nationals living in urban and rural Scotland. In particular we argue that the ‘simple’ act of application produces diverse responses among Polish nationals, characterised by ambivalent and reluctant compliance, with longer term implications for ontological security and sustainable communities. In the paper we present empirical data from the perspectives of three differently positioned individuals to illustrate the heterogenous experience of Polish nationals in Scotland and to demonstrate how pre-existing vulnerabilities and conditions are compounded by the EU settlement scheme. First, we highlight a view of citizenship as ‘social contract’ through the vignette of Marek who expresses ambivalence about Brexit and for whom the welfare system serves both as a safety net and a space of the undeserving. Second, we reflect on the complex bureaucratic process of gaining citizenship for a family, through the vignette of Monika. Finally, we consider how form filling is an anxious act of validating oneself and questioning one's belonging to place with longer term effects on ontological insecurity, through the vignette of Weronika. We conclude by offering a set of recommendations for Scottish policy on intercultural communication, integration and sustainable communities that, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, is ever more significant.

The Concept of Liberty in a World of Porous Borders
Authors: Christman John
Published: August 2020

In typical analyses of the concept of freedom (or liberty), it is assumed that this idea applies to stable political contexts, within which free persons enjoy publicly recognized citizenship. However, freedom as a fundamental political ideal ought also be understood as an aspiration for those who do not enjoy such status and may not seek it, as long as other provisions and protections can be afforded (refugees, migrant workers, etc.). This paper re-analyzes the concept as it might apply in such contexts and a model of basic positive liberty is proposed, one which attempts to capture the privileges of those already considered free as well as those aspiring to that status.
Exploiting Inter-Organizational Relationships in Health Care: A Bibliometric Analysis and Literature Review
Authors: Palumbo Rocco , Manesh Mohammad Fakhar , Pellegrini Massimiliano M. , Flamini Giulia
Published: August 2020

Inter-organizational relationships are high on the health policy agenda. Scholars and practitioners have provided heterogeneous views about the triggers of collaborative practices and the success factors that underpin the sustainability of inter-organizational relationships in the health care domain. The article proposes a literature review aimed at systematizing current scientific research that contextualizes inter-organizational relationships to health care. A mixed approach was undertaken, which consisted of a bibliometric analysis followed by a narrative literature review. A tailored search strategy on Elsevier’s Scopus yielded 411 relevant records, which were carefully screened for inclusion in this study. After screening, 105 papers were found to be consistent with the study purposes and included in this literature review. The findings emphasize that the establishment and implementation of inter-organizational relationships in health care are affected by several ambiguities, which concern both the governance and the structuring of collaborative relationships. The viability and the success of inter-organizational relationships depend on the ability of both central and peripheral partners to acknowledge and address such ambiguities. Failure to do so involves an opportunistic participation to inter-organizational relationships. This endangers conflicting behaviors rather than collaboration among partners.
Overview of Quantitative Methodologies to Understand Antimicrobial Resistance via Minimum Inhibitory Concentration
Authors: Michael Alec , Kelman Todd , Pitesky Maurice
Published: August 2020

The development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a significant threat to humans and food animals. The use of antimicrobials in human and veterinary medicine may select for resistant bacteria, resulting in increased levels of AMR in these populations. As the threat presented by AMR increases, it becomes critically important to find methods for effectively interpreting minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests. Currently, a wide array of techniques for analyzing these data can be found in the literature, but few guidelines for choosing among them exist. Here, we examine several quantitative techniques for analyzing the results of MIC tests and discuss and summarize various ways to model MIC data. The goal of this review is to propose important considerations for appropriate model selection given the purpose and context of the study. Approaches reviewed include mixture models, logistic regression, cumulative logistic regression, and accelerated failure time–frailty models. Important considerations in model selection include the objective of the study (e.g., modeling MIC creep vs. clinical resistance), degree of censoring in the data (e.g., heavily left/right censored vs. primarily interval censored), and consistency of testing parameters (e.g., same range of concentrations tested for a given antibiotic).
Economic Aspects of Driving Various Types of Vehicles in Intelligent Urban Transport Systems, Including Car-Sharing Services and Autonomous Vehicles
Authors: Turoń Katarzyna , Kubik Andrzej
Published: August 2020

Nowadays, the concept of new mobility solutions like shared mobility systems is becoming more and more popular in current transport systems. The next technological step will be the idea of replacing traditional vehicles with autonomous ones. Because autonomous vehicles are a new concept in the automotive market, we dedicated this article to the idea of using autonomous vehicles as a part of car-sharing systems in intelligent, urban transport systems. The research herein is focused on the economic aspects of using autonomous vehicles in comparison to the classic car fleet available in car-sharing systems and to vehicles that belong to individual owners. We present our method for appropriate fleet selection based on the Delphi method and the calculations made through a scientific experiment performed based on Hartley’s plan. The results indicate the relation of travel parameters (including vehicle type) to the total cost of travel in urban transport systems. We also present the main terms related to autonomous vehicles. This article provides support for people who want to deepen knowledge about autonomous vehicles and new mobility solutions used in urban transport systems.
Design of a Novel Magnetorheological Damper Adaptable to Low and High Stroke Velocity of Vehicle Suspension System

Published: August 2020

In this study, a new class of magnetorheological (MR) damper, which can realize desired damping force at both low and high speeds of vehicle suspension systems, is proposed and its salient characteristics are shown through computer simulations. Unlike conventional MR dampers, the proposed MR damper has a specific pole shape function and therefore the damping coefficient is changed by varying the effective area of the main orifice. In addition, by controlling the opening or closing the bypass orifice, the drastic change of the damping coefficient is realizable. After briefly describing the operating principle, a mathematical modeling is performed considering the pole shape function which is a key feature of the proposed MR damper. Then, the field-dependent damping force and piston velocity-dependent characteristics are presented followed by an example on how to achieve desired damping force characteristics by changing the damping coefficient and slope breaking point which represents the bilinear damping property.
