Bulgarians between the Orient and Europe is an interdisciplinary practice lesson in VII class, which combines the Bulgarian language, literature, history, music, arts and uses resources from the information technologies. It’s like a journey into the time of post-liberation reality, where the revival ideas and moral values were forgotten. The goal of this lesson is on basis of historical documents and Aleko’s literary works „To Chicago and Back“ and „Bay Ganyo“ students to discover the new aspirations of the Bulgarian person, his new place in the Bulgarian society and in the European space. Through the very useful for the students comparison between historical text sources and literature pieces, seventh graders perceive and comment on the authenticity of the facts and the role of literature’s figures of speech and the viewpoint and imagination of the author. In the suite „Bay Ganyo“ from Veselin Stoyanov, students discover literary images embedded in music. With cartoons, created by the seventh-graders the main character is presented in the fine arts. Role-playing games recreate the spirit of the era and students fall into the atmosphere of the late 19th century. The lesson relies on teamwork and research, on the analysis and interpretation of specific features of literary characters and their comparison with historical figures and events.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Noh Jeong , Hwa Kyeong
Published: November 2022

In this study, we investigated the semiotic mediation process in an online class using both Zoom, a video conferencing system (VCS), and GeoGebra, a dynamic geometry software (DGS). We focused on the process by which students produced and shared their personal signs in various modalities and the instructional interventions in which the teacher used technologies to facilitate students’ semiotic activities. The findings show that teachers’ orchestration of a VCS and DGS support the distance mathematical communication of students through the production and sharing of multimodal semiotic resources. Students engaged in embodied interaction by sharing use not only verbal language but also non-verbal signs, such as dragging objects and mouse gestures. The collective production of multimodal semiotic bundles and the silent participation exclusively through gestures and diagramming without verbal utterances were also observed. Our case study provides examples of ways to tackle the rapidly changing mathematics education environment through distance semiotic mediation by orchestrating multiple technologies.
Teaching and Learning Proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem during Distance Learning and in the Flipped
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Rothe Jennifer
Published: November 2022

This paper presents the findings of two design research cycles on learning and teaching different proofs of the Pythagorean theorem in German secondary schools during distance learning in the first research cycle and a flipped classroom in the second research cycle. The study explores students’ difficulties when learning proofs in the different scenarios by analyzing students’ proof schemes, occurring error patterns, the students’ descriptions of their proof comprehension, and evaluations of the learning scenarios. The findings indicate that typical difficulties occur less in the flipped setting, especially for students with a low or average level of prior knowledge. Further analysis of the evaluation of the learning activities suggests that this can be attributed to the implemented adaptations of the learning scenario when changing it from a distance learning setting to a flipped learning setting, in particular, the opportunity to work collaboratively and direct support the teacher. These results have implications regarding the potential of the flipped classroom as a way for educators to integrate instructional approaches they developed during the COVID-19 pandemic into their in-person teaching in the future.
Analysis of the Elements of Synchronous Online Learning in Mathematics Classroom Discourse: Based on the Lens of Authority
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Jun Hye-Jin , Lee Kyeong-Hwa
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to explore how the elements of synchronous online learning emerge in mathematics classroom discourse through an authority lens. To this end, we analyzed synchronous online learning classes for 5th to 6th graders. Elements of synchronous online learning were divided into delivery system, interaction, content, and learners; and data modeling tasks were implemented. Findings indicate that the delivery system has both potential and risk for sharing authority in mathematics classroom discourses, and four types of interactions are formed (or not formed) in a differentiated manner, respectively. In addition, mathematics classroom discourses, such as providing teacher feedback and encouraging students supported students’ shared authority. Further, the content element combined with other elements, was found to influence sharing authority. These findings reveal some aspects that teachers should consider in designing and implementing synchronous online learning for shared authority.

Aim. To explore the peculiarities of work with a person's name as an important component of self-identity in the context of readjustment of the Ukrainians who fled to other countries and/or are staying in Ukraine. Methods. The Lemak and Petryshche Social Adaptability Questionnaire, a personal characteristics questionnaire and The Name as a Component of Self-Identity questionnaire (S. Arefniya), as well as the art therapy exercise called "The Power of the Name". Results. It was shown that a person's name and work with it is an effective means of supporting Ukrainian war refugees' self-identification. Almost every second war refugee had a low level of adjustment. The name-mediated identity was perceived by the displaced from the time perspective, i.e. they remembered the past and identified themselves with it, being aware of the present and the future. The refugees' space integration was done through the restoration of their integrity, which improved the refugees' emotional state and self-awareness through their self-identification and acceptance of themselves in the place where they are. Conclusions. The person's name and work with it is an effective means of supporting personal self-identification during the Ukrainian war refugees' adjustment to a new country and during a personal identity crisis.

Aim. Based on the literature analysis, to determine the components of the psychologist's professional brand in peacetime and during war, as well as to reveal the role of social networks in the formation of the psychologist's professional brand. Results. The analysis of the relevant psychological literature allowed determining the components of the professional image of a psychologist at the stage of formation of a psychologist's personal brand and to build the main models of the psychologist's professional brand formation. It was found that professional, psychological, organizational, marketing, and communication components of the psychologist's professional brand were important in peacetime. In the conditions of war, psychologist's hardiness (as the ability to preserve personal internal energy potential) is and additional and mandatory component of the psychologist's professional brand. Social networks were shown to be an effective channel of interaction with the audience, which helped to form the professional brand of a psychologist. Conclusions. Despite unstable living conditions and uncertain future, psychologists' professional activity and self-actualization contribute to the formation of their professional brand. A properly formed professional brand of a psychologist will allow people in need of psychological help to find their counselors and therapists.

Given the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the promotion of mental health and subjective well-being of the population has become an important task of psychological services in Ukraine. This requires the use of adequate diagnostic methods and instruments, in particular, those that have proven themselves in foreign practice. For this purpose, they should be adapted and standardized on the Ukrainian sample. Aim: to adapt The Modified BBC Subjective Well-being Scale (BBC-SWB) and The Positive Mental Health Scale (PMH-scale) on the Ukrainian sample. Methods. The Modified BBC Subjective Well-being Scale (BBC-SWB) and the Positive Mental Health Scale (PMH-scale). In order to adapt and standardize these scales, a study was conducted on a sample of 502 respondents from the central regions of Ukraine. The sample included 69.7% of women and 30.3% of men aged 18 through 75 belonging to various social strata. Results. 1) The adaptation of The Modified BBC Subjective Well-being Scale (BBC-SWB) and The Positive Mental Health Scale (PMH-scale) made it possible to bring them into line with Ukrainian realities; 2) the Scales' standardization allows using them for the analysis of the general indicator and individual subscales of subjective well-being as well as for the analysis of mental health of representatives of different population groups in Ukraine; 3) The obtained data demonstrated the Scales' high reliability and validity. Conclusions. The adapted Scales can be used by psychological centers and services for diagnosing mental health and well-being of Ukrainian population.
Sur l’iconologie warburgienne et la conversion à soi de Marie-Madeleine

Published: November 2022

In this study, we propose to analyze the migratory character of ideas evoked by Arthur Lovejoy and the evolution of the image of Mary Magdalene in the light of two fundamental theories of intellectual history: the Warburgian iconology and the concept of “care of self” theorized by Michel Foucault in The History of Sexuality. Although these two notions are different by the nature of their horizon of study, they are similar by the importance given to historical heritage in the redefinition of a cultural identity (individual or collective) and by the anthropological exhumation of ancient references which survive and are transmitted in social memory, thus allowing the reinterpretation of certain motifs and symbols of the Christian religion. Inseparable from the image of the Greek goddess Aphrodite of which she is the Christian counterpart, and also the concrete representation bringing together all the ancient attributes unearthed along a vast iconographic history, Mary Magdalene goes beyond “primary opacity to oneself” which characterized her before the encounter with Jesus to respond to the double structure of questioning which governs its emergence. Indeed, its image is shaped both by the reactivation of latent potentialities bogged down in the ritual action of the “intermediate forms” that come under iconology, and by access to a form of truth made possible by the exchange with divinity.

Sexual wellbeing is an important aspect of population health and addressing it as a distinct issue requires a validated measure. Our previous conceptual work identified seven domains of sexual wellbeing: security; respect; self-esteem; resilience; forgiveness; self-determination; and comfort. Here we describe the development and validation of a measure capturing these domains. We build on analysis of 40 semi-structured interviews (reported elsewhere). We operationalised domains into items, and refined them via seven cognitive interviews, workshops and expert review. We then tested the items via two web-based surveys (n=590; n=814). Using data from the first survey we did exploratory factor analysis to assess and eliminate poor performing items. Using data from the second we did confirmatory factor analysis to examine model fit and associations between the item reduced measure and external variables hypothesised to correlate with sexual wellbeing (external validity). A sub-sample (n=113) repeated the second survey after two weeks to evaluate test-retest reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a ‘general specific model’ had best fit (RMSEA: 0.064; CFI: 0.975, TLI: 0.962), and functioned equivalently across age groups, genders, sexual orientations and relationship statuses. The final measure comprised 13 items (from an initial set of 25). It was associated with external variables in the directions hypothesised (all p<0.001), including mental wellbeing (0.454), self-esteem (0.564), body image (0.232), depression (-0.384), anxiety (-0.340), sexual satisfaction (0.680) and sexual distress (-0.615) and demonstrated good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.78). Our 13-item measure enables sexual wellbeing to be quantified and understood within and across populations.
A Novel Approach to Measuring the Developmental Interactions Between Working Memory and Inhibitory Control in Young Children

Published: November 2022

This large-scale pre-registered study examined the development of working memory and inhibitory control in a sample of 144 children aged between 3 and 6 years. Two paradigms – one a version of a spatial conflict task, the other a combined continuous performance test and go/no-go task – were adapted to allow the orthogonal manipulation of working memory and inhibitory demands. This allowed for the simultaneous measurement of these functions within each paradigm, removing concerns of task-specific variance and testing an interactive model of executive function that assumes that working memory and inhibition compete for a shared pool of executive resources. In addition, latent working memory and inhibition variables extracted from the tasks were correlated with parental reports of participants’ temperament, including effortful control. The novel experimental tasks successfully and reliably captured developmental and individual differences in working memory and inhibitory control. However, these factors did not interact with one another in an over-additive fashion or correlate meaningfully with parental ratings of effortful control. These findings support the separability of executive functions in this age range while raising important questions about how best to measure the development of executive control among young children.
The effect of cognitive load on preference and intensity processing of sweet taste in the brain

Distracted eating can cause overconsumption. Whereas previous work has shown that cognitive load leads to lower subjective taste intensity and increased subsequent consumption, the mechanism behind distraction-induced overconsumption remains unclear. To elucidate this, we performed two event-related fMRI experiments that examined how cognitive load affects neural responses and subjective ratings in terms of intensity and preference, respectively, to solutions varying in intensity. In Experiment 1 (N=24), participants tasted weak sweet and strong sweet glucose solutions and rated their intensity while we concurrently varied cognitive load using a digit-span task. In Experiment 2 (N=22), participants tasted five different glucose concentrations under varying cognitive load and then indicated their preferences for these concentrations. Participants in Experiment 1 rated strong sweet solutions as less sweet under high compared to low cognitive load, which was accompanied by attenuated activation under high cognitive load in the right middle insula and bilateral DLPFC while tasting the strong vs. weak sweet solutions. Psychophysiological interaction analyses showed that cognitive load also altered connectivity between middle insula and nucleus accumbens and DLPFC and middle insula for the strong sweet solution. In Experiment 2, cognitive load did not affect participants’ preferences for the varying concentrations. fMRI results revealed that cognitive load attenuated DLPFC activation for the strongest sweet solutions in the study.In conclusion, our behavioral and neuroimaging results suggest that cognitive load dampens the sensory and preference processing of strong sweet solutions in particular, which may indicate higher competition for attentional resources for strong sweet than weak sweet solutions under high cognitive load. Implications for future research are discussed.
