PREPARING STUDENT TEACHERS TO TEACH: A TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED, REFLECTIVE, AND COLLABORATIVE MODEL
Authors: Kara Selma 
Published: April 2024

In language teacher education programs, to train learners to become effective and qualified teachers, theories of learning and teaching are taught. In the methodology courses, learners experience teaching to their peers as a link between theory and practice. To improve teaching experiences, the current study focuses on a special methodology course, Teaching English to Young Learners, by implementing technology, reflective feedback, and collaborative learning, and it presents a model that is grounded within the social constructivist theory. Sixty-two learners participated in the study. Two groups were randomly assigned to the Technology Enhanced Group and Control Group to investigate the effectiveness of the technology-enhanced, reflective, and collaborative model; and to explore the learners’ perceptions. The qualitative data was analyzed using feedback, reflections, and learner interviews. The technology-enhanced, reflective, and collaborative model of teaching how to teach to young learners proved to be effective. Participants noticed the pedagogical aspects of the teaching model presented to them and their perceptions were positive. It is concluded that it is crucial to search for ways to help learners learn the theory and prepare future teachers for their actual classroom experience in language teacher education programs.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu/0108/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ENHANCING L2 LEARNERS' WRITING: IMPACT OF PRODUCT AND PROCESS APPROACHES
Authors: El Ouidani Youssef , Madaoui Redouane 
Published: April 2024

This study investigated the effects of two approaches to teaching writing (product and process) on the development of writing skills of Moroccan EFL high-school students. Two intact classes of 86 third-year high-school students participated in the present study. A pre-test was administered to all participants to measure their writing competence in expository essay writing. Each group was then subjected to a specific treatment. The experimental group was instructed to use a process-based syllabus, while the control group followed the original product-based syllabus. In the process-oriented syllabus, students were guided through various stages of the writing process via activities like brainstorming, collaborative problem-solving, free writing, multiple drafting, structured peer feedback, and teacher-student conferences. Conversely, the product-oriented syllabus focused on teaching writing through model analysis, writing exercises, and structured feedback sessions with teachers. Following the instructional period, participants underwent a post-test to assess the impact of each approach on their writing proficiency. Statistical analyses, including Paired Samples T-test and Independent Samples T-test, demonstrated that both approaches led to improvements in students' writing performance, with the process-based approach being more effective. Participant feedback on the questionnaire also supported these findings. The study concludes by outlining implications for the teaching of writing in second language (L2) contexts.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0757/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
OPPORTUNITIES AND BARRIERS TO LEADERSHIP FOR FEMALE FINANCE LEADERS IN THE UK
Authors: Babafemi Olufunmilayo Elizabeth 
Published: April 2024

Despite legal and societal advancements that have increased the presence of women in the finance sector, the representation of women in finance director roles remains limited. In FTSE 100 companies, men still hold finance director positions at a rate seven times higher than women, a trend reflective of the broader industry. This qualitative inquiry delves into the factors contributing to the success factors and obstacles to leadership faced by female finance directors in the United Kingdom. By conducting interviews with accomplished female finance directors, the study aims to identify the factors that prevent and enable females to become leaders in the finance industry. Notably, this research identifies enduring social and cultural hurdles obstructing female progress, and how they can be supported as they progress their career. A significant finding emerges: many interviewed women endorse individuals who align with their assertive work values, which often align with masculine traits. Females have to conform to a working environment and practices, and this impacts negatively on their social life, job satisfaction and identity. Given the target-driven nature of finance, the prospect of a radical top-down transformation is generally seen as unlikely. Consequently, female leaders face limitations in their capacity to serve as "gatekeepers" for advancing the careers of fellow women. Recommendations include a departure from the performance-centric approach entrenched in finance.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0387/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

INFLUENCE OF TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF LEARNERS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES IN NAIROBI COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Akinyi Melvine Elizabeth , Muthee Jessina , Nzoka Stephen 
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to examine the influence of teacher-student relationships on the academic performance of learners with learning disabilities in Nairobi County. Systems theory and Social Cognitive theories were adopted. A descriptive correlational research design was employed using a mixed research approach. The target population comprised 4 head teachers, 62 teachers, and 1,923 learners with learning disabilities from 4 regular primary schools in Nairobi City County. Stratified random sampling and simple random sampling were applied to select the four schools and respondents from each school respectively. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to choose the head teachers and teachers from each school. Questionnaires, focus group discussions, interview guides, and screening tools were used to gather data. Quantitative data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques, whereas qualitative was transcribed and qualitatively analyzed in a thematic approach. A correlation test was done on the hypotheses to ascertain the relation between independent variables and dependent variables at a statistical significance of p≤0.05 (p=5%) using Chi-square. Pearson product-moment correlation was computed to measure the strength of the association between predictors and children’s academic performance variables. Qualitative data analysis involved transcription and analysis of open-ended questions from research tools using thematic analysis. Findings showed that all proxies for the teacher-student relationship except dependency level had a significant p-value (p&lt;0.05) at 95% Confidential Interval. Statistical statistics from chi-square the correlation between teacher-student relationships and learners’ academic performance was statistically significant the null hypothesis was rejected. The study concluded that teacher-student relationships result in improvement in learners’ academic performance. School policies have no significant relationship with learners’ academic performance in primary school schools in Nairobi City County. The study recommended that teachers should deliberately express concerns both about students’ academic and non-academic life, as this makes the learners with learning disabilities feel accepted and motivated to improve their academic work.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0788/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: April 2024

Vaccine effectiveness and safety concerns can prevent people from receiving their first Covid-19 vaccines or boosters. Understanding the vaccine mechanism may lead people to perceive vaccine effectiveness appropriately. This study tested whether helping people understand the vaccine’s mechanism could improve their perceived vaccine safety and effectiveness. In a preregistered study, N = 1,548 unvaccinated or non-boosted participants were randomly presented with one of three communication formats: a fact box (a benefit-risk profile in tabular format; control condition), an expository text (i.e., a purely factual explanation) plus fact box, or an analogy plus fact box. Participants rated the vaccine’s effectiveness in preventing a Covid-19 disease, their perceived risk of getting vaccinated, and their intention to get vaccinated or boosted (depending on their vaccination status). Reading either additional text about the vaccines’ mechanism increased participants’ effectiveness ratings for the vaccine to prevent Covid-19 but did not affect risk ratings or vaccination intentions. The participants’ vaccine-related perceptions and intentions did not differ between the two text types. Elaborating on the vaccine’s mechanism of protection, in addition to presenting the benefit-risk profile of a vaccine, can lead people to perceive the vaccine effectiveness as slightly higher, yet it is insufficient to increase vaccination intentions.
Las medidas de protección del informante: la base de la funcionalidad del sistema
Authors: QUESADA LUMBRERAS JAVIER EDUARDO 
Published: April 2024

La construcción de un sistema de protección del denunciante eficaz
exige establecer un marco jurídico previo que genere confianza y seguridad
jurídica a los informantes de las irregularidades. El objetivo a batir, en consecuencia,
es el miedo a las represalias que, junto a la transcendencia de la denuncia, se
constituyen en los factores principales de los que se hace depender la funcionalidad
de todo el sistema. El análisis de estas medidas en el sistema español de protección
del informante será, precisamente, el centro de atención de nuestro trabajo
para poder comprobar así la viabilidad del sistema diseñado.

The construction of an effective whistleblower protection system
requires the establishment of a prior legal framework that generates trust and
legal certainty for whistleblowers. The target to beat, therefore, is the fear of
reprisals, which, together with the importance of whistleblowing, are the main
factors on which the functionality of the whole system depends. The analysis of
these measures in the Spanish whistleblower protection system will be, precisely,
the focus of our work in order to verify the viability of the system designed.
La contratación pública: evolución europea de una estrategia
Authors: MÉNDEZ NÚÑEZ MARÍA ISABEL 
Published: April 2024

La perspectiva estratégica de la contratación pública obliga a un
cambio de paradigma que pone los contratos al servicio de la consecución de
otros objetivos de política pública. Esta nueva visión no es reciente, sino que se
ha ido gestando en el marco de una Unión Europea que pugna por conjugar las
aspiraciones del mercado común con los objetivos de una Europa social y sostenible.
Así, paso a paso, las cláusulas medioambientales y sociales se han hecho
hueco en los contratos públicos; primero, de manera esporádica y puntual; en un
segundo momento, mediante un esfuerzo sistemático de análisis de su encaje en
las distintas fases del procedimiento de licitación; y finalmente, a través de una
propuesta clara en favor de una contratación pública estratégica. En este trabajo
nos acercamos, desde una perspectiva histórica y en el ámbito de la Unión, a la
construcción y caracteres de la contratación pública estratégica.
Kontratazio publikoaren ikuspegi estrategikoak paradigma aldatzera
behartzen du, eta horrek kontratuak politika publikoko beste helburu batzuk
lortzearen zerbitzura jartzen ditu. Ikuspegi berri hori ez da duela gutxikoa; aitzitik,
poliki sortu da merkatu bateratuaren nahiak Europa sozial eta iraunkorraren helburuekin
uztartzeko lehian diharduen Europar Batasunaren esparruan. Horrela,
urratsez urrats, ingurumen- eta gizarte-klausulek lekua egin dute kontratu publikoetan;
lehenik, noizbehinka eta puntualki; bigarrenik, lizitazio-prozeduraren fase
ezberdinetan nola sartu behar diren aztertzeko ahalegin sistematikoaren bidez; eta,
azkenik, kontratazio publiko estrategiko baten alde egindako proposamen argi bat
eginez. Lan honetan, ikuspegi historiko batetik eta Batasunaren esparruan, kontratazio
publiko estrategikoaren eraikuntzara eta ezaugarrietara hurbiltzen gara.
The strategic perspective of public procurement requires a paradigm
shift that puts procurement at the service of other public policy objectives. This new
vision is not a recent development, but has been taking shape within the framework
of a European Union that is striving to combine the aspirations of the common
market with the objectives of a social and sustainable Europe. Thus, step by step,
environmental and social clauses have made their way into public contracts; firstly,
sporadically and promptly; secondly, through a systematic effort to analyse how
they fit into the different phases of the tendering procedure; and finally, through a
clear proposal in favour of strategic public procurement. In this paper we approach,
from a historical perspective and within the scope of the Union, the construction and
characteristics of strategic public procurement.
Frontex, solidaridad y derechos fundamentales. Reflexiones libres sobre una Agencia siempre en la tormenta
Authors: BACHOUÉ PEDROUZO GÉRALDINE 
Published: April 2024

La Agencia Europea Frontex, creada en 2004, y cuyo mandato fue
reformado un par de veces, en particular tras las crisis migratorias, dispone desde
2019 de competencias operativas y de un contingente permanente. Las operaciones
llevadas a cabo en el marco de sus nuevas operaciones de vigilancia de las
fronteras externas han puesto de manifiesto violaciones de los derechos humanos.
El objetivo de estas reflexiones no es ofrecer una crítica partidista o reivindicativa
de la posición de la Agencia, sino una crítica basada en elementos objetivos
y concretos. Frontex se ha convertido en el emblema del dilema de la gestión europea
de las fronteras exteriores, cristalizando todos los temores. Sin embargo, se
esperan cambios de Frontex, que se supone encarna la solidaridad y la unificación
de la política europea de migración.
Europako Frontex agentzia 2004an sortu zuten, eta, migraziokrisien
ondoren batez ere, pare bat aldiz aldatu diote agintea; izan ere, 2019tik, eskumen
operatiboak eta kontingente iraunkor bat dauzka. Kanpo-mugak zaintzeko
operazio berrien esparruan egin dituen operazioek agerian jarri dituzte giza eskubideen
urraketak. Hausnarketa hauen helburua ez da agentziaren jarreraren kritika
alderdikoi edo aldarrikatzaile bat egitea, elementu objektibo eta zehatzetan oinarritutako
kritika bat egitea baizik. Europako kanpo-mugen kudeaketaren inguruan
sortu den dilemaren ikur bihurtu da Frontex, eta beldur guztiak aireratu ditu. Halere,
Frontex agentzian aldaketak egitea espero da, Europako migrazio-politikaren
elkartasuna eta batasuna irudikatzen dituela suposatzen baita.
The European agency Frontex, created in 2004 and whose
mandate has been reformed a couple of times, in particular after the migration
crises, has had operational powers and a permanent contingent since 2019. The
operations carried out in the framework of its new external border surveillance
operations have revealed human rights violations. The aim of these reflections is
not to offer a partisan or vindictive critique of the Agency¿s position, but rather
a critique based on objective and concrete elements. Frontex has become the
emblem of the dilemma of European external border management, crystallising
all fears. However, changes are expected from Frontex, which is supposed to
embody solidarity and unification of European migration policy.
