AN INVESTIGATION OF STUDENTS’ ALGEBRAIC PROFICIENCY FROM A STRUCTURE SENSE PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Jupri Al , Sispiyati Ririn , Chin Kin Eng 
Published: March 2021

Structure sense can be interpreted as an intuitive ability towards symbolic expressions, including skills to perceive, to interpret, and to manipulate symbols in different roles. This ability shows student algebraic proficiency in dealing with various symbolic expressions and is considered important to be mastered by secondary school students for advanced study or professional work. This study, therefore, aims to investigate students’ algebraic proficiency in terms of structure sense. To reach this aim, we set up a qualitative case study with the following three steps. First, after conducting a literature study, we designed structure sense tasks according to structure sense characteristics for the topic of equations. Second, we administered an individual written test involving 28 grade XI students (16-17 year-old). Third, we analyzed students’ written work using a structure sense perspective. The results showed that about two-thirds of the participated students lack of structure sense in which they tend to use more procedural strategies than structure sense strategies in solving equations. We conclude that the perspective of structure sense provides a fruitful lens for assessing students’ algebraic proficiency.
Inventar un pensamiento a la “altura del hombre”

«Que la ley no sea la misma en tiempos normales y en tiempos extraordinarios, cualquiera puede entenderlo. Que se transfieran algunas facultades al poder ejecutivo debido a que en periodos de crisis es preciso actuar con celeridad, también se entiende. Que a las libertades se les impongan algunas limitaciones que serían inadmisibles en tiempos normales, también podría llegar a entenderse. Sin embargo, a no ser que se direccione hacia un estado de seguridad, la legislación de un régimen de emergencia debe estar sujeta al respeto de la ley. Cuantos más poderes se concentren en las manos del Ejecutivo, más urgente se hace velar por el respeto a los derechos y libertades que constituyen, incluso en situaciones de crisis, el Estado de derecho; además, es cuando más activas deben permanecer las instituciones de control: obligatoriamente el Parlamento, desde luego la Justicia y por supuesto la prensa.»

La interrupción voluntaria del embarazo como derecho de acceso restringido en el marco de la COVID-19
Authors: Mondragón Duarte Sergio Luis , Parra Granados Lina María 
Published: March 2021

La interrupción voluntaria del embarazo en Colombia ha sido reconocida en tres casos excepcionales por la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional. Desde entonces se ha desarrollado un marco de protección que elimina los obstáculos en su ejercicio, sin embargo, aún son muchas las barreras que encuentran las mujeres para acceder a este derecho. Ahora bien, con el surgimiento de la crisis de salud pública a cuenta de la COVID-19, es pertinente hacer un diagnóstico del estado actual de este derecho. En este sentido, se desarrolló una investigación de tipo cualitativo basada en el método hermenéutico que condujo a la obtención de un resultado enmarcado en la aguda limitación para ejercer este derecho: en especial por parte de las mujeres que habitan en centros poblados rurales debido a la restricción de su locomoción, falta de acceso a internet y a servicios de salud idóneos, entre otros. Lo anterior permite concluir que las medidas adoptadas en el marco del estado de emergencia económica, social y ecológica para la protección de este derecho son nulas, ya que carecen de un enfoque socio demográfico efectivo que garantice la protección de la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo en esta época.
Sosiaalityön psykososiaalisen asiantuntijuuden hyödyntämiseen vaikuttavat tekijät nuorisopsykiatrian avohoidossa

Sosiaalityöntekijät toimivat nuorisopsykiatriassa erityistyöntekijän roolissa tuoden sosiaalista ja sosiaalityön näkökulmaa moniammatilliseen keskusteluun. Helsingin ja Uudenmaan sairaanhoitopirin (HUS) nuorisopsykiatriassa on viime vuosina siirrytty entistä fokusoidumpiin hoitomalleihin ja erityistyöntekijöiden työnkuvaa on pyritty jäsentämään uudelleen. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sitä, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat sosiaalityön psykososiaalisen asiantuntijuuden hyödyntämiseen moniammatillisessa poliklinikkatyössä ja mitkä psykososiaalisen työn osa-alueet rajataan sosiaalityöntekijän tehtävien ulkopuolelle. Tutkimuksen aineisto on kerätty kahdessa osassa nuorisopsykiatrian avohoidon työntekijöiltä e-kyselyllä ja fokusryhmähaastatteluilla.
Noin 60 prosenttia työntekijöistä oli sitä mieltä, että nuorisopsykiatrian sosiaalityöntekijää hyödynnetään sosiaalityötä vaativissa tehtävissä. Tehtävien jäsentämisessä oli vastausten perusteella eroavuuksia, esimerkiksi osa työntekijöistä koki, etteivät sosiaalityöntekijän tehtävät eroa hoidollista työtä tekevien ammattiryhmien tehtävistä. Noin 70 prosenttia vastaajista koki sosiaalityöntekijöiden tehtävien kuitenkin palvelevan potilaiden tarvetta. Sosiaalityön psykososiaalisen asiantuntijuuden hyödyntämiseen vaikuttivat poliklinikoiden hoitotyön tavoitteet ja tiimityöskentelyn rakenne, sosiaalityöntekijän oma ammatti-identiteetti, työtahdin kiristyminen ja moniammatillisen työkulttuurin muutokset.
Terveydenhuollossa jokaisella ammattilaisella on oma roolinsa ja yhteistyössä syntyy epävirallisia normeja siitä, mitkä ovat selkeästi jaettua aluetta ja missä tehtävissä rajaa ei ylitetä. Hoitotyön tavoitteet eivät saisi liikaa ohjata sosiaalityön jäsentymistä psykiatrisessa avohoidossa. Tämä edellyttää sosiaalityön vahvempaa tunnistamista ja samalla sosiaalityöntekijöiden aktiivisuutta sekä oman alansa asiantuntijuuden vahvistamista osaksi moniammatillista yhteistyötä ja tiimityöskentelyn rakenteita.
Mitä sairauspäivärahan enimmäisajan täytyttyä? Toimeentulon lähteet kahden vuoden seurannassa

Published: March 2021

Tutkittu tieto sairauspäivärahan enimmäisajan jälkeisestä toimeentulosta on puuttunut Suomessa. Tutkimme työkyvyttömyyseläkkeelle siirtymistä, ansiotyö- ja työttömyysjaksoja, ammatillista kuntoutusta sekä uusia sairauspäivärahakausia kahden vuoden seurannassa henkilöillä, joiden sairauspäivärahan enimmäisaika oli tullut täyteen 2012. Tarkastelimme myös, miten päivärahaa saaneiden tausta oli yhteydessä enimmäisajan jälkeisten työkyvyttömyyseläkehakemusten yleisyyteen.
Analysoimme kuvailevilla menetelmillä 70 prosentin edustavaa satunnaisotosta 18–60-vuotiaasta väestöstä hyödyntäen Eläketurvakeskuksen, Kelan ja Tilastokeskuksen rekisteritietoja. Tarkastelimme työkyvyttömyyseläkkeen hakemista ensisijaisena toimeentulolähteenä. Muita toimeentulon lähteitä tarkastelimme taustatekijöillä vakioituina prevalensseina käyttäen logistista regressioanalyysiä. Testasimme taustatekijöiden yhteyttä enimmäisajan jälkeisen 12 kuukauden aikaisen eläkehakemuksen todennäköisyyteen khiin neliö -testeillä.
Enimmäisaikaa seuraavan vuoden aikana 68 % siirtyi työkyvyttömyyseläkkeelle, 14 % ei hakenut työkyvyttömyyseläkettä ja 18 %:lle ei myönnetty työkyvyttömyyseläkettä. Taustatekijöistä muu kuin toimihenkilöasema ja ansiotyön puuttuminen työkyvyttömyyden alkaessa selittivät vahvimmin työkyvyttömyyseläkkeen hakemista. Eläkettä hakematta jättäneet olivat usein ansiotyössä ensimmäisen seurantavuoden aikana (69 %). Hylkäävän eläkepäätöksen saaneista valtaosa sai työttömyysetuutta ensimmäisen (80 %) tai toisen (72 %) seurantavuoden aikana. Vuoden työkykyisyysajan jälkeen uudet sairauspäivärahakaudet olivat yleisiä.
Sairauspäivärahan enimmäisajan täyttyminen merkitsee valtaosalla täyden työkyvyn menettämistä seuraaviksi vuosiksi riippumatta siitä, johtaako sairausjakso suoraan työkyvyttömyyseläkkeeseen. Pitkään sairauspäivärahalla olevien tilannetta pitäisi tukea tehokkaammin sairauspäivärahajaksojen aikana ja enimmäisajan lähestyessä. Erityisesti tämä koskee ansiotyön ulkopuolella olevia, joilta puuttuvat työterveyshuollon palvelut ja sairausvakuutuslain mukaiset, päivärahakauden sisäiset seurantapisteet.
Beyond Classroom English Activities to Generate Interest in English Among Tertiary Students
Authors: Shanti Alice , Jaafar Zuraidah 
Published: March 2021

In this article, we present a study aimed to explore the attitude, interest and perception of students learning English language beyond the classroom using a list of activities such as Readers Theatre, Storyboard, Academic Explorace, Spell it right and Melodies of Pilah. A survey was conducted involving 466 students from different faculties who were taking English proficiency courses at diploma and degree levels at a local university. The findings indicate that both male and female students had a positive degree of interest and attitude toward the English activities carried out beyond the classroom. The popular activities were Readers Theatre and Melodies of Pilah (group singing). The study also indicated that students preferred group activities compared to individual activities. Based on the findings, it is recommended that students should be allowed to explore English materials independently beyond classrooms where language learning takes place implicitly. The study found that the success of English learning activities carried out beyond the confines of the classroom can generate interest among students to learn the language. The success of English activities carried out beyond classrooms can be assessed by students’ ability to complete the task assigned (the end-product) rather than the processes involved in completing the task.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality design criteria for developing a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). Currently, there are limited studies that highlight the required design criteria for the MOOC programming courses. A descriptive analysis was conducted to examine the characteristics of the three important quality design criteria which are (i) Instructional Design Criteria involving Lecture Organization and Culture; (ii) Technical Criteria involving User Interface, Video Content, Learning and Social Tools, and Learning Analytics; and (iii) E-Assessment. The data were collected from 306 respondents, representing the UUM MOOC students of 2018 class, were further analyzed using the T-Test hypothesis testing to determine whether both the programming and non-programming students require the same quality design criteria. The questionnaire used in this study consists of 46 items related to the MOOC quality design criteria that were adapted from previous studies. The results indicate that out of the nine constructs, four have obtained significant differences in the mean scores, namely the Video Content, Instructional Design, Culture, and E-assessment. This signifies that different quality design criteria are needed for both the programming and non-programming students. The outcome of this study may assist the developers in designing the MOOC by providing the required criteria according to its importance.

Published: March 2021

Blended learning approach has gained popularity around the globe and blended English language teaching has become a matter of considerable interest. Many higher education institutions have adopted the approach, and this raised a question of readiness among the students involved. The study aimed at investigating the students’ readiness on English language blended learning. A total of 137 students of different courses from a public university in Melaka participated in the study. They were asked to answer a questionnaire which involved five aspects to measure the students’ readiness on English language blended learning such as technical abilities, technological accessibility, self-directed learning, attitude towards traditional classroom setting and attitude towards blended classroom setting. Six students were then selected to be involved in semi-structured interviews to identify students’ views on English language blended learning. The study found out that students have low levels of readiness on English language blended learning in which they scored 3.28 to 3.54 in attitude towards blended classroom settings compared to their scores in attitude towards traditional classroom settings which are all above 4.00. The interviews revealed the reasons behind the results obtained from the questionnaire and one of them is that they enjoy learning English in a traditional classroom since face to face communication with their instructors allows them to remember better as well as enables them to gain more in-depth understanding of a lesson.

Published: March 2021

In the 21st century, the School Resource Centre (SRC) is essential as an innovative educational practice that supports teaching-learning in the digital age. Previous studies have highlighted the beneficial roles of an SRC in terms of collections, SRC programs, and the provision of a conducive learning environment to school communities. However, due to the meaningful impact of technology, SRCs need to transform their traditional roles to more modern roles in the digital age in order to bring knowledge that is alive, interesting and relevant to meet users’ needs and demands, especially the millennials. The millennial generation is comprised of digital immigrants who are very competent in using technology devices but still lack information literacy skills and are marked by uncertainty because they face information overload due to the high dependency on the Internet and inability to solve real-life problems. In this study, the millennial generation was narrowed to secondary students aged between 13-17 years old. This paper aims to determine the type of activities held in SRCs that give impact on students’ civilization and support them in developing life-long learning habits which will enable them to be knowledgeable and responsible citizens in a civilized society. A survey was distributed to secondary students, and findings show that there is a positive indication with a 4.21 mean value (with Likert scale ranging between 1 to 5) on civilization for the use of SRCs. Education itself is evolving through changes in the curricula and use of enhanced technology which have changed the way students access information and interact with others in the civilized society. It is hoped that other than becoming information literate and knowledgeable persons, students can also show evidence of moral and intellectual advancement by being humane, ethical and reasonable as well as have the capabilities of leading an improved life and social wellbeing.

Przemiany struktur polskiego przemysłu cukrowniczego jako efekt procesu restrukturyzacji
Authors: Niemczak Marcin 
Published: March 2021

During the transformations of economic system, basic changes in various factors and conditions had a strong effect on the functioning of industrial enterprises, including the sugar industry. The transition from the centrally commanded economy to market economy considerably influenced the Polish sugar industry, with a very negative effect. In 1993 the whole branch showed negative net profitability index. Prospects for the Polish sugar industry appeared together with foreign investors (on from the UK and three from Germany), who took over nearly 65% of all sugar plants. Restructurisation activities raised the competitiveness of particular enterprises. Year 2002 brought the formation of a large stateowned manufacturer.The most characteristic feature of the Polish sugar industry is production potential surplus and a considerable dispersal of production. These factors largely contributed to the initiation of a production concentration process in 2001, which aimed at liquidating the unprofitable plants. The apogee of this process came in 2004, when 14 sugar plants were closed. In the current sugar campaign (2006/2007) 36 plants take part, out of 76 that existed in 2000. 40 were closed, which is 52.6% of all that existed. It must be pointed out that further reduction of the number of existing plants is possible, since the current level of sugar production is attainable with 20-25 functioning plants.

Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne Polski
Authors: Wieloński Andrzej , Machowski Janusz 
Published: March 2021

The energy security is the term for the most part identified with ensuring its availability to different energy carriers and taking care about the continuity of its delivery. According to the authors, for Poland it means – above all – the diversification of the geographical structure of supply sources of crude oil and natural gas.The first part of the paper shows Polish dependence on the import of Russian crude oil and the possible other sources of supply – by realization of the plans of constructing the Odessa-Brody oil pipeline to Płock or using „Naftoport” in Gdańsk for oil unloading. The next part presents problems of the diversification of supply sources of natural gas and propositions alternative to the import from Russia – the delivery of natural gas from Norway or using the supply of liquefied gas (LNG) by sea (which requires infrastructure). In the last part of the paper the main subject is the role of the Polish petrochemical concern, PKN ORLEN in the country’s energy security system.The biggest corporation of Central Europe gained its importance on its own and taken-over refineries in Poland, the Czech Republic and Lithuania, also taking over inefficient logistic infrastructure, storage depots, pipeline network and sea reloading possibilities in Poland and Lithuania. The company interpreted the delivery diversification as the increased number of the crude oil suppliers and limitation of the share of long-standing contracts in the structure of crude oil delivery and the development of its own extraction segment. The authors recapitulate by saying that the idea of energy security and diversification can have different rendition in enterprises and the government. The diversification of the deliveries is possible but can be expensive (more expensive fuels, higher costs of transport, changes in processing technology), which can be a problem to enterprises. Doubts can be raised on the direction of the country’s actions, and promoting companies creating their own fuel base (it is more expensive than other solutions); it cannot be forgotten that Polish refineries have a right to negotiate the prices of crude oil delivery, which can maximise the gain for share holders (including the Treasure Ministry). The best solution to the problem of the level of energy security would be (besides diversification of sources of supply) a constant increase in crude oil storage capacity and system storage of natural gas.
