On the status of the Nogai Horde in the system of post-Horde states
Authors:   Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Belyakov Andrey V.
Published: June 2023

Research objectives: To establish the degree of equivalence for the status of the Nogai Horde in comparison with the Tatar khanates that arose after the collapse of the Golden Horde. Research materials: Russian-Nogai embassy books and documents about those living in Russia in the 16th–17th centuries, writings pertaining to noble people from the East. Results and scientific novelty of the study: The Nogai Horde, until the last third of the 16th century, retained the institution of nominal khans chosen from the numerous descen­dants of Chingis Khan. These latter figures were needed to proclaim the next biy as a beklerbek and issue a charter with a golden seal. That was the only way to legitimize power in the Horde in the eyes of the neighbors and, most crucially, the Nogai themselves. Thus, the Nogai Horde could not get rid of the idea of its subordinate position in relation to the states ruled by the Chingisids. However, from the middle of the 16th century. the traditional place of the Tatar tsars and princes begins to be occupied by the Russian tsar.

Published: June 2023

Research objectives: The Kazakh sultan Uraz-Muhammad, who happened to find himself in the territory of the Moscow Tsardom in 1588, was elevated to the throne of the declining Kasimov Khanate in 1600. His arrival in this Turkic enclave yurt, which had been ruled by the Greater Horde dynasty (Sheikh-Avliyar, Shah-Ali, Sain-Bulat, Mustafa-Ali) for a considerable period since 1516, was a political innovation by the Kazakh sultan that remains not fully explained. At that time, representatives of other branches of the Chingisids, such as the significant group of Kuchumoviches (Shibanids), who were likely no less prominent than the Kazakh khans tracing their lineage to the Ordaids or Tukay-Timurids (more recently, primarily to the former), existed in the Moscow Tsardom. The general assessment expressed in the literature that Uraz-Muhammad’s enthronement in Kasimov was an action related to “the further implementation of the eastern policy of the Moscow Tsardom,” according to A.V. Belyakov’s words, lacks sufficient specificity. Therefore, the authors of this article considered it necessary to conduct a more detailed analysis of this issue. Research materials: The authors examined the historiography of the issue of Uraz-Muhammad’s appearance in the Moscow Tsardom, as well as the political situation at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries in both the state and the Kazakh Khanate. Sources such as Kadyr Ali-bek’s “Jami al-tawarikh,” Siberian chronicles, as well as folk legends and traditions found in G.F. Miller’s work “History of Siberia” and Siberian Tatar local history writings were utilized. Results and novelty of the research: The conducted research allowed us to conclude that Moscow’s choice of a candidate like the Kazakh sultan Uraz-Muhammad for the Kasimov throne in 1600 was dictated by the politico-ideological considerations of the ruling elite of the Moscow Tsardom. These considerations were explained by the new challenges in the field of eastern policy that emerged on the eve of the 16th and 17th centuries, which were of great importance to the Moscow Tsardom.
The history of the khan’s capital of Kasimov before the seventeenth century (based on materials from archaeological research)
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology named after A.Kh. Khalikov of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Akhmetgalin Farid A.
Published: June 2023

Research objectives: The aim of the study is to analyze the history of the city of Kasimov, show its development, and explore the issues of chronology and localization of individual urban areas. Research materials: Archaeological research data, written and cartographic sources, previously published works on this issue. Results and scientific novelty: This article deals with the history of the medieval city of Kasimov. This was the capital of the Kasimov Khanate from the middle of the 15th to the end of the 17th centuries. The study is based on the results of archaeological excavations and extensive historical data. It provides a detailed analysis of the development of a medieval city from the pre-Mongolian center on the Volga-Oka trade route to the capital of the Kasimov Khanate. The author highlighted the areas that arose at different times. The Kasimov archaeological complex is historically associated with the pre-Mongol period in the city’s history. At the end of the 13th century, the city was moved to the area of the Old Posad. In historical sources, it was called Gorodets Meshchersky (13th – the first half of the 16th centuries). Kasimov of the Khan’s time (middle of the 15th – middle of the 16th century) was located in the same place. In historical sources, it was known as Tsarevichev Gorodok. Settlement in the area of Tatarskaya Gora and Tatarskaya Sloboda began later than the middle of the 16th century. The Khan’s mosque bilding was also built at the same time. The territory of the modern city center with the Kasimov Kremlin was being developed at the end of the 16th – beginning of the 17th century. The author has traced the continuity of the development of medieval settlements from the Kasimov archaeological complex (the ancient settlement of Zemlyanoy Strug, the settlement of Dorofeevo Pole of the 9th – 13th centuries) to the Gorodets Meshchersky (13th – the first half of the 15th century) and to the capital of the Kasimov Khanate and the modern city. The article establishes the time of formation of the historical core of the medieval city and the stages of development of territories on the basis of archaeological research.

Published: June 2023

Research objectives: New publications on the medieval period led to a favorable development in the historiography of the Kasimov Tatars. The authors aims to analyze the factors and trends in the study of Kasimov Tatars history in the Soviet era, collecting and systematizing information about the Kasimov Museum of Local Lore’s formation in the 1920s of collections on the history of the Tatars of the Kasimov district of the Ryazan province as a material component of collective memory. Another aim is to show the interest of the Tatar public in the first Soviet years in preserving their historical and cultural heritage. Research materials: This article is based on the analysis of archival sources, funds of the Kasimov Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve, and materials of the district newspaper «Krasny Voskhod». Novelty of the research: Scientific novelty emerges from a comprehensive study of the formation in the first decade of Soviet power of a museum’s ethnographic collection about the lives and way of life of the Kasimov Tatars and its popularization among the Kasimov people. Results of the research: As a result of the analysis of archival sources, periodical press materials, and collections from the funds of the Kasimov Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve, the formation of the Muslim (Tatar) department of the Museum of Local Lore is shown and conclusions are drawn about the origin of commemoration among the Kasimov Tatars as an important means of preserving and transmitting historical memory.

Authors:   G. Ibragimov Institute of Language, Literature and Art of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Akhunov Azat M.
Published: June 2023

Research objectives: This article is about the study of the Tatar archaeographer G. Rakhim which was dedicated to “Jami‘ al-tawarikh” by Kadyr Ali-bek, and which was published as a separate chapter in the third part of the “History of Tatar Literature”. This work, published in 1922–1923 in Kazan in the Tatar Arabic script, for various reasons was out of the field of view of researchers and until recently inaccessible to a wide range of scientists. Research materials: The scientific work of G. Rakhim, an example of one of the first studies of the Modern period written in the traditions of European historiography, is distinguished by an original approach and depth of study to the undertaken subject. In this text, G. Rakhim analyzes the “Jami al-tawarikh” of Kadyr Ali-bek and makes a number of important conclusions. In general, G. Rakhim’s work has independent significance as an important source for Tatar historiography. Results and novelty of the research: This publication provides a brief overview of G. Rakhim’s research, and also introduces the text of the work itself into scientific circulation for the first time via its translation into Russian.

Authors:   Ростовский государственный экономический университет (РИНХ), Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Роман Андреевич Стыценко
Published: June 2023

The launch of the digital ruble by the Bank of Russia is a distant prospect or a new reality, time will tell. The first priority for the implementation of the project is the creation of a regulatory frame-work. The article analyzes the proposed bills regulating the introduction of the digital ruble into circulation, focuses on the existing individual shortcomings. The author draws attention to the current problem of understanding non-cash money in general, which is not resolved, and with the advent of a new form of the ruble, it only gets worse. The legal nature of the planned introduction of the digital ruble is ambiguous and uncertain, as well as the purpose of justifying its implementation. The author made suggestions regarding possible options for the legal regulation of the digital ruble and the corresponding conclusions.
RESOURCES OF NEOTRADITIONALISM IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL PROCESSES IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
Authors:   Киргизско-Российский славянский университет, Бишкек, Киргизская Республика, Лариса Львовна Хопёрская
Published: June 2023

The article substantiates the thesis that the classical constitutional and legal analysis does not allow to satisfactorily explain the legal and political processes taking place in the post-Soviet period in the Kyrgyz Republic. Their comprehension is carried out within the framework of the political-anthropological approach. The review of numerous editions of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic shows the formation of a conceptual and regulatory framework for neotraditionalization, within which national traditions are considered as the basis for the development of the state. The process of institutionalization of relations built on the principles of traditional values through the inclusion of the People's Kurultai and kurultais of local communities in the political system of the Kyrgyz Republic is characterized. The conclusion is substantiated that in the presence of a tendency to introduce a pro-Western model of democratization, attempts to maintain a pro-Russian orientation, there is a strengthening of the ideology and practice of neotraditionalism. This suggests that further constitutional and legal processes in the Kyrgyz Republic will develop along their own trajectory.
The Effect of Parametric Design on the Reconstruction of Cultures within the Context of Jakobson's Communication Model
Authors: MENDİLCİOĞLU Rıza Fatih
Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of parametric design on cultural architectural works within the framework of Roman Jakobson's model of communication. The study will focus on how the use of parametric design is handled as a source of form in contemporary architecture, how it affects the way cultural buildings are perceived and how they communicate their cultural significance. In addition, the other aim of the research is to examine how social culture and architecture, which are both means of communication, can be re-established in a contemporary way through parametric design.
Within the framework of Jakobson's communication model, the relationship between the five functions of communication and architecture will be analysed, and then the relation between this relationship and parametric design will be established. In this context, the cultural impact of parametric design will also be examined around four of the five basic functions of Jakobson's communication model, and how parametric design contributes to the process of cultural communication and message creation will be discussed.
The research methodology includes a literature review on parametric design, cultural constructs and Jakobson's communication model. In addition, a case study approach will be used to examine the impact of parametric design on the cultural architectures of societies. In this context, "Sunac Guangzhou Theatre" from China, which reconsiders its ancient culture shaped by geography with western culture through contemporary architecture, will be taken as a sample building. The use of parametric design tools will be analysed in the creation of the design concept and cultural quality of the building.
In the conclusion and evaluation section, the evaluation of the cultural impact of parametric design through Jakobson's communication model will be evaluated through a table, and the positive contributions of parametric design to the cultural visions of societies in contemporary form will be summarised.

Authors: Dien Rizqiana Zulfanita
Published: June 2023

Poverty is a problem that continues to be faced, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Poverty is included in one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) programs, which is related to hunger and health. The time series data can be clustered based on the characteristics of the time series data and adjusted to the time series pattern. The choice of distance and method used must be adjusted to the dynamic structure of time series data. The purpose of this research is to cluster districts/cities in Central Java Province based on the poverty depth index value from 2017 to 2022. The variable that used in this research is the Poverty Depth Index of 35 districts in Central Java Province from 2017 to 2022. This research used cluster time series with DTW similarity measurment. Based on theDTW and  cophenetic  coefficient correlation value using three linkage methods, the average linkage method has the highest cophenetic  coefficient correlation value of 0.8017988. Testing the quality of clusters using the silhouette coefficient using DTW distance and average linkage method and 2 clusters are included in the good cluster category with a silhouette coefficient value of 0.60. The resulting clusters using the DTW distance and average linkage method are cluster 1 consisting of 25 districts / cities and cluster 2 consisting of 10 districts.

Transformative learning via integrated projects with Sustainable Development Goals and innovations.
Authors: Yeung Shirley Mo Ching
Published: June 2023

In recent years, the popularization of integrated learning and digital transformation in curriculum design has brought great discussion to our knowledge-based society. It is beneficial to promote the use of digitally integrated project learning in higher education. This paper aims to explore the key elements of disruptive learning with impacts. Through qualitative analysis of factors potentially related to transformative education with selected eight articles published from 2021 to 2022, the factors for transformative education have been identified: real-time assignment, new ways to sustain, and disruptive learning which are well supported by two case studies related to Web 3.0. It is believed that part of the future of education is to integrate Web 3.0 technology into the process of content creation and preservation with values for sustainable development for social responsibility. We need to think about the triangulation among assignment/activity/event design, use of technology for impacts and quality of story conveyed for disruptions in learning. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Web 3.0 technology are recommended to integrate into SDGs-related projects for creating value in learning for responsible businesses. However, this kind of disruptive mindset in curriculum design with digital transformation and innovations needs to have good practices to support the findings mentioned in this paper.

Published: June 2023

This journal researched Postmodernism from 101 Dalmatian movies and Cruella movies. The researchers are interested in evaluating the differences between 101 Dalmatians, produced in 1961, and Cruella, directed in 2021. The popularity of character transformation and the diverse eras introduced by these two films is the cause why these movies must be studied. The study's goal was to examine Cruella's transformation in both films. The researchers used the descriptive comparative approach to perform the research. The note-taking approach was employed in conjunction with Linda Hutcheon's postmodernism theory. The researchers found that the differences lay in historical representation, including their nature, relationship, and goal in the movies.
Keywords: Cruella, Character, Alteration, Historical Representation.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the frequency of dosing
inconsistencies in prescription data and the effect of four dosing
assumption strategies on adherence estimates for antipsychotic
treatment. Methods: A retrospective cohort, which linked prescription
and dispensing data of adult patients with ≥ 1 antipsychotic
prescription between 2015-2016 and followed up until 2019, in Catalonia
(Spain). Four strategies were proposed for selecting the recommended
dosing in overlapping prescription periods for the same patient and
antipsychotic drug: 1) the minimum dosing prescribed; 2) the dose
corresponding to the latest prescription issued, 3) the highest dosing
prescribed, and 4) all doses included in the overlapped period. For each
strategy, one treatment episode per patient was selected and the
Continuous Medication Availability measure was used to assess adherence.
Descriptive statistics were used to describe results by strategy.
Results: Of 277,324 prescriptions included, 76% overlapped with other
prescriptions (40% with different recommended dosing instructions). The
number and characteristics of patients and treatment episodes (18,292,
18,303, 18,339, and 18,536, respectively per strategy) were similar
across strategies. Mean adherence was similar between strategies,
ranging from 57-60%. However, the proportion of patients with adherence
≥ 90% was lower when selecting all doses (28%) compared to the other
strategies (35%). Conclusions: Despite the high prevalence of
overlapping prescriptions, the strategies proposed did not show a major
effect on the adherence estimates for antipsychotic treatment. Taking
into consideration the particularities of antipsychotic prescription
practices, selecting the highest dose in the overlapped period provided
a more accurate adherence estimate.
A Systematic Review of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in People Living with Cystic Fibrosis
Authors: Power Hilary , Shivak Shelby , Kim Jinsoo , Wright Kristi
Published: June 2023

Background: There is a lack of research that has focused on
ADHD in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Given ADHD is associated
with executive functioning impairments, exploring ADHD in the context of
living with CF is of great importance. The purpose of the current
systematic review was to examine ADHD in pwCF across the lifespan in
terms of its prevalence, its impact on various health outcomes, and
treatments for managing ADHD. Methods: This systematic review
followed the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Articles reporting
studies of any design that focused on ADHD in pwCF were included.
Studies were excluded if they did not meet this criterion and if they
were written in languages other than English. PsycINFO, MEDLINE, EMBASE,
and CINAHL databases were searched. Search items were based on three
concepts: 1) terms related to CF, 2) terms related to ADHD, and 3) terms
related to age. Results: Ten studies were included in this
systematic review. Reported prevalence rates of ADHD in people with CF
ranged from 5.26% to 21.9%. The reported relationships between ADHD in
pwCF and other health outcomes is also inconsistent. In terms of
treatment considerations, pharmacological interventions and behavioural
strategies for managing ADHD in the context of living with CF have been
reported as being successful. Conclusions: The presence of ADHD
in pwCF should be evaluated when symptoms are impacting treatment
adherence and health outcomes. Additional research is needed to further
explore ADHD in the CF population and health variables that may be
associated with CF prognosis.

Published: June 2023

Enabling multiband systems with per-band in-band full duplexing (IBFD)
opens avenues for multiband instantaneous feedback sensing and
streaming. This letter adopts fractal antenna arrays to achieve
multiband-IBFD (MIBFD) antenna subsystems using hexagonal star array
(HSA) geometry as a generating subarray. Characterised by concentric
recurring frequency-independent multiband self-interference cancellation
(MB-SIC), the HSA enables a frontier MIBFD stage at the antenna domain.
Simulation results confirm this hypothesis using three separately fed
4.9, 5.0 and 5.1 GHz signals as test pilots, which achieved -35.5, -42
and -37 dB SIC respectively and simultaneously. The integrated SIC
bandwidth within the band is extended to 4.45 <->
5.85 GHz below −35.5 dB.
Microscopy and spectroscopy approaches to study GPCR structure and function
Authors: Fessl Tomas , Majellaro Maria , Bondar Alexey
Published: June 2023

The GPCR signalling cascade is a key pathway responsible for the signal
transduction of a multitude of physical and chemical stimuli, including
light, odorants, neurotransmitters, and hormones. Understanding the
structural and functional properties of the GPCR cascade requires direct
observation of signalling processes in high spatial and temporal
resolution with minimal perturbation to endogenous systems. Optical
microscopy and spectroscopy techniques are uniquely suited to this
purpose because they excel at multiple spatial and temporal scales and
can be used in living objects. Here, we review recent developments in
microscopy and spectroscopy technologies which enable new insights into
GPCR signalling. We focus on advanced techniques with high spatial and
temporal resolution, single-molecule methods, labelling strategies, and
approaches suitable for endogenous systems and large living objects.
This review aims to assist researchers in choosing appropriate
microscopy and spectroscopy approaches for a variety of applications in
the study of cellular signalling.
Increasing prey availability reduces early intraguild predation and improves biological control
Authors: Leote Pedro Branco , Rubbmark Oskar Rennstam , Traugott Michael
Published: June 2023

Intraguild predation is an extreme form of competition, that depends on
resource availability, niche overlap, behaviour and diversity. However,
despite modelling and mesocosm experiments, field studies are scarce,
and we know nothing of its temporal dynamics within real-world food
webs, particularly in the context of biological control. To address
this, we manipulated decomposer prey by adding manure to cereal fields,
and analysed the diet of over 6000 predators over the entire cropping
season during two years. Our results show that manure increased
alternative prey, reduced intraguild predation and pest spreading in the
first half of the season, without changing predator communities’
diversity or evenness across treatments. We hypothesize the mechanism
responsible for the observed effects are changes in predator behaviour.
Our insights were possible due the high temporal resolution of our data,
hence we recommend it as a way to address knowledge gaps in food webs,
competition and biological control.

Authors: Sáez-Delgado Fabiola , Mella-Norambuena Javier , López-Angulo Yaranay , León-Ron Verónica , Contreras-Saavedra Carolina
Published: June 2023

Teacher self-regulation is of great importance because it allows an organized and structured professional exercise, it also facilitates a successful performance of the teaching and learning process, allowing the teacher to monitor the effectiveness of their pedagogical practices and modeling of self-regulatory skills in students. The objective of this study was to adapt and validate scales to measure teaching self-regulation processes in Spanish and with evidence of its functionality by application of technological tools. The study was quantitative, with an instrumental design. The sample consisted of 204 secondary school teachers in Chile. The scales were adapted from the Teacher Self-regulation Scale and underwent back-translation procedures, cognitive interviews, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability analyses. The results showed adequate validity and reliability estimators for seven scales corresponding to goal setting, intrinsic interest, performance goal orientation, goal mastery orientation, self-instruction, emotional control, and self-evaluation. In conclusion, the scales allow valid and reliable measurement of teaching self-regulatory processes.

Assessment of diagnostic value of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 typing and anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies as an alternative to duodenal biopsy in pediatric celiac disease
Authors: Prokic Dragan , Djuricic Slavisa , Kitic Ivana , Kocic Marija , Pasic Srdjan , Vuletic Biljana
Published: June 2023

Introduction/Objective. The objective of the paper is to assess the applicability of serum anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies IgA and IgG concentration and HLA-DQ2/DQ8 typing as a non-invasive alternative to duodenal biopsy in diagnosing celiac disease (CD) in pediatric population. Methods. A prospective cohort study included a total of 179 pediatric patients aged 1?18 years. Determination of tTG IgA and tTG IgG antibodies and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DQ2/DQ8 typing was performed for all patients. Histology of duodenal biopsies was interpreted by the modified Marsh scoring system. Results. The diagnosis of CD was confirmed in 101 (56%) patients of the studied population. In cases of CD, HLA-DQ2/DQ8 was positive in 100 patients (99%). The tTG IgA antibodies in concentration higher than 100 U/ml were detected in 77 (76.2%) of the CD patients and in significantly smaller number for tTG IgG [29 (28.7%)] (p < 0.001). Statistically highly significant association of duodenal lesions Marsh grade 3 with concentration of tTG IgA 10-fold higher than the upper level of normal (ULN) was established (p < 0.001) Conclusion. Concentration of tTG IgA 10-fold higher than ULN is significantly positively correlated with Marsh grade 3 histopathology findings.

Published: July 2023

The current study explored the war experience from the victims? narrative by
interviewing 15 displaced Ukrainians hosted in Greece. Concretely, it
examined their experiences and emotions from the beginning of the war, the
conditions under which they lived until they fled Ukraine, and their
reception in Greece. To better analyse the data, the researchers followed a
thematic analysis and divided the participants into three groups based on
similar characteristics: mothers, teenagers, and children. Major
psychological trauma and financial and integration difficulties were evident
in all participants. Moreover, several challenges were reported regarding
the policies and practices of reception, especially in the educational
field. Last, despite the limitation of the small sample and no male
participants, this study opens the way for further investigation of the
long-lasting effects of war traumatisation and the challenges host countries
face in supporting refugees.
Does Auditor Resilience Mitigate the Effects of Multiple Team Memberships on Quality Threatening Behaviors?
Authors: Zhang D. James , Veltrop Dennis B. , Hooghiemstra Reggy B. H. , Rink Floor
Published: June 2023

Audit firms rely on audit teams where memberships are frequently shared, shifted, and dissolved. In practice, this means that many auditors are part of multiple engagement teams for a given period of time. This paper examines why and when such multiple team memberships (MTMs) may lead auditors to engage in audit quality-threatening behaviors. We analyze data from a survey of 202 auditors—ranging from assistants to partners—working at Dutch audit firms. Our findings demonstrate that serving on MTMs can undermine auditor learning and in so doing leads auditors to engage in audit quality-threatening behaviors. Analyses show that less resilient auditors—those who are less able to bounce back from experienced difficulties—appear most susceptible to these deleterious effects. In addition, exploratory analyses suggest that the negative effect of serving on many MTMs appears to be more pronounced for field-level auditors than for management-level auditors.
More than Making Copies: Survey Evidence on the Work of Novice Auditors

Published: June 2023

The auditing landscape has changed dramatically in the last 20 years due to new standards, improved technology, internal shared services centers, and more. These institutional advances have altered the responsibilities of novice auditors. However, our knowledge of novice auditor task responsibilities and experiences has not been systematically updated in the 21st century. This study provides empirical evidence on the tasks and experiences of novice auditors by reporting survey responses from 104 audit interns, more than 30 intern supervisors, and 89 staff auditors. Our results shed light on the evolution of the roles of novice auditors by documenting the significant number and variety of tasks that they perform, as well as the interpersonal interactions, formal training, and other activities they commonly experience.

Suboptimal glycemic control among women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes before conception and during the early part of pregnancy is a powerful risk factor for fetal anomalies, macrosomia, and stillbirth. Major congenital anomalies occur in up to 25–30% of infants of women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes (1). Hyperglycemia during fetal organogenesis (5–8 weeks after the last menstrual period) is a considerable teratogen, and, consequentially, the risk of fetal anomalies related to preexisting maternal diabetes can be reduced to background risk when glycemic control is at goal.

Published: July 2023

Covid-19 has brought comprehensive changes in the field of education such as conducting learning with a distance learning system. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the teacher's view of learning needs and explore the factors that become obstacles in online thematic learning in elementary schools. This type of research is a mixed methods research, namely qualitative and quantitative research designs. The subject of this research is to take a sample of teachers in 20 elementary schools with a population of 200 teachers with a sample of 20 teachers. The sampling method used simple random sampling. Quantitative data in the form of samples based on questionnaire scores from 5th grade teachers with a sample of 20 teachers from 20 elementary schools. Data analysis is used to draw final conclusions on the results of the data, both from interviews, observations, and documents using interactive analysis techniques, namely data collection, data condensation, data display (data display) and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the thematic learning system had not been maximally implemented in schools; it is necessary to get used to implementing an android-based system which includes zoom for face-to-face online meetings, learning materials and evaluation of learning, so that teachers can explore the learning system used during the Covid-19 pandemic. In conclusion, the learning system in thematic learning during the Covid-19 pandemic still needs to be developed and explored because there are obstacles in the implementation of the learning process.

Entre la evaluación y los significados sociales de los docentes de educación física: una experiencia simbólica
Authors: Nava Ramírez Norma , Murrieta Ortega Raymundo , Aguilar Zaldívar María Anabell , Gutiérrez Damián Mónica , Huesca Nava Francisco Javier
Published: June 2023

Los significados sociales se construyen mediante la interacción de los individuos a través de las actividades que realizan; es decir, las personas tienen que señalarse a sí mismas los objetos que tienen significado. La presente investigación tuvo por objetivo analizar los significados sociales que los docentes de educación física construyeron, a partir de la evaluación a la que fueron objeto, atendiendo las directrices de la Reforma Educativa de 2013. El método de investigación se ajusta al paradigma cualitativo, en el que se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a una muestra de seis docentes en el estado de Puebla, y se usó como referente analítico el interaccionismo simbólico. Los resultados demostraron las inquietudes de los docentes, sus inconformidades y las áreas de oportunidad para mejorar sus condiciones laborales. Al mismo tiempo, identificaron beneficios de la evaluación que se les realizó, como tener claridad en algunas necesidades de su preparación y, en consecuencia, la posibilidad de atenderlas, lo que implicaría conseguir, en algunos casos, mejoras económicas. También experimentaron sentimientos de frustración, enojo, desinterés y temor ante lo que opinan que la sociedad piensa de ellos, e incertidumbre por las consecuencias de los resultados de su evaluación. El interaccionismo simbólico resultó ser un recurso metodológico útil para objetivar los significados sociales que los docentes en cuestión construyeron.
