THE EXPLORATION AND PRACTICE OF INTEGRATING "FOUR SELF-CONFIDENCES" INTO IDEOLOGICAL AND POLITICAL EDUCATION OF COLLEGE ENGLISH CURRICULUM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19
Authors: Feng Yang , Wang Xiya 
Published: January 2023

Patriotic education for college students is an important task in the education of various countries. This study conducted a 16-week patriotic and ideal education for college students in the context of Covid-19 prevention and control, and an exploration of the education model by integrating big data comparison of Chinese and foreign prevention and control in college English courses. Students in the experimental group were introduced to short videos related to Chinese and foreign news reports on the prevention and treatment of Covid-19 in the course, and carried out in-class thoughtful discussions and post-class sharing and discussions; students in the control group maintained their original study and life status. Post-test questionnaires and interviews revealed that most of the students in the experimental group realized that the necessity and success of China's epidemic prevention and control stemmed from the Chinese government's people-oriented approach and the advantages of the Chinese system and Chinese culture, which enhanced their self-confidence and pride in being Chinese and strengthened their "four self-confidences" in socialism with Chinese characteristics. More students combined their career aspirations with the modernization of China, significantly changed their learning attitudes and improved their motivation and academic performance. In contrast, students in the control group had no significant changes in the relevant post-test indicators compared with the pre-test because they maintained their original study and life status.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0920/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Okafor S. , Akpochafo G. O. 
Published: January 2023

This study investigated the moderating impact of age and gender on the relationship between self-esteem and career decision-making difficulties among secondary school students. Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a correlational research design. The population included 16,473 Senior Secondary two (SS 2) students from public secondary schools in Delta North Senatorial District. The sample size comprised 378 senior secondary school students. The students were sampled using a multistage sampling procedure. A questionnaire was used to gather data in this study. Expert judgment was used to determine the instrument's face validity, while factor analysis using the Principal Component Analysis method was used to determine the content and construct validity. Cronbach’s alpha reliability index was used to determine the internal consistency of the items in the instrument. Self-Esteem Rating Scale = 0.71, and Career Decision-Making Difficulties Rating Scale = 0.82 are the reliability coefficients found. The hypotheses were tested and answered using regression statistics of F-ratio at 0.05 level of significance, while the research questions were answered using Pearson’s coefficient of determination. The findings of the study revealed that there is no significant relationship between self-esteem and career decision-making difficulties among secondary school students; that there is no significant moderating impact of age and gender in the relationship between self-esteem and career decision-making difficulties among secondary school students. The study recommended that more studies should be carried out to explore the reason why no significant relationship was found between self-esteem and career decision-making difficulties among secondary school students in Delta North Senatorial District.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0600/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
FORMATION PROFESSIONNELLE DU PERSONNEL DE L’OFFICE CONGOLAIS DE CONTROLE A L’INSTITUT NATIONAL DE PREPARATION PROFESSIONNELLE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF PERSONNEL OF THE CONGOLESE CONTROL OFFICE AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION
Authors: Mobuli Nicolas Akpanza 
Published: January 2023

<p>L’Office Congolais de Contrôle (OCC) est l’une des entreprises publiques qui contribue financièrement au fonctionnement de l’Institut National de Préparation Professionnelle (INPP) et en contrepartie, ce dernier assure la formation du personnel de celui-ci. L’enquête par questionnaire administré à un échantillon occasionnel de 45 agents a permis la collecte des données. Après l’analyse statistique et de contenu des données, les résultats ont montré que l’OCC accorde peu d’importance à la formation professionnelle. Les agents considèrent la contribution financière de leur entreprise au fonctionnement de l’INPP comme un fond perdu car ils n’ont jamais été envoyés en formation à l’INPP et que les agents ne sont pas envoyés à l’INPP pour être formé ou recyclé. Aussi, suggèrent-ils qu’une commission soit mise sur pied pour étudier le dossier. Cette proposition nous semble valable car cela pourra éviter à l’entreprise de gaspillage inutile de fonds.</p><p> </p><p>The Congolese Control Office (OCC) is one of the public companies that contributes financially to the operation of the National Institute for Professional Preparation (INPP) and in return, the latter provides training for its staff.

UNDERGRADUATES’ CONCEPTIONS OF ONLINE EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL MEDIATION
Authors: Bildik Cüneyt , Altun Sertel 
Published: January 2023

In the process of learning, the learner and the environment have a mutualistic relationship as a change in one affects the other. Inevitably, the increasing digitalization of the educational environment in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the way learners learn. Understanding this change through learners’ eyes is crucial for questioning the educational value behind this transformation. Adopting this student-centered stance and using the notion of technological mediation, the present study aimed to investigate the various ways students conceptualize online education and discuss technology mediation accordingly from the perspective of sociocultural learning theory. Designed as a phenomenographic study, it was carried out with fifteen undergraduates undertaking online courses during the fall semester of the 2021-22 academic year at a state university in Turkey. The data gathered through face-to-face interviews was analyzed using phenomenographic data analysis. The results showed that the students experienced online education in four distinctive ways as (a) a way of displaying information; (b) a way of acquiring information; (c) a way of exchanging information; (d) a way of enhancing self-learning, with each affecting technology mediation in particular ways. As a result, it was concluded that students’ perceptions of online education and the way technology mediate their learning are strongly related, and for technology to mediate students’ learning as intended, it might be necessary to develop students’ conceptions first.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0467/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: İlk Çağrı 
Published: January 2023

This study examined the relationship between football fans’ fanaticism levels and their psychological commitments. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 429 volunteer participants in Istanbul, Turkey; 11.7% female and 88.3% male, selected by convenience sampling method. Shapiro – Wilk normality test was applied to test the normality of the study data. Since the data had a normal distribution, descriptive statistics were used for the analysis in addition to independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA tests. Besides, the Pearson correlation test was performed to check the relationship between the scales. The results revealed significant differences in gender, age, marital status, educational status, and favorite football team/club between the sub-scales. The differences were found to be more significant, especially in age and football team variables. It can be said that as the level of fanaticism increases, the psychological commitment of the fans may also increase.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0269/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

WINNING IT BOTH: STORIES OF SECONDARY ACADEMIC ACHIEVER STUDENT-ATHLETES
Authors: Escoto Donald G. , Alfarero Joel A. 
Published: January 2023

Learners’ experiences at school should not only be limited to performing academic tasks, but should also focus on physical activities since the main goal of education is to develop a child holistically. The study explored the experiences of academic achiever student-athletes and how they excelled in academics and sports fields. Qualitative research using multiple case studies was used as its design. Eight key informants who were academic achiever student-athletes from five secondary schools in the division of Eastern Samar were purposively selected as study key informants. Results of the study revealed that in order to cope with the pressure brought about by being an academic achiever and an athlete at the same time, the student-athlete should manage well his/her time spent studying and training. Also, goal setting was the key to all their sports and academic-related tasks. Further, social media applications were used by student-athletes in catching up with their missed lessons while in training. Parents’ involvement was also identified as another factor in achieving both academics and sports. It is recommended that a strong support system from the school and parents be in place.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0452/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
REVIEWING THE KENYAN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM THROUGH A DE-COLONIZATION EFFORT
Authors: Muindi Daniel 
Published: January 2023

Physical education is an educational process that uses physical activity as a means to help individuals acquire skills, fitness, knowledge, and attitudes that contribute to their optimal development and well-being. The history of PE in Africa dates back to pre-colonial times. In the pre-colonial period, traditional African physical activities and recreation were characterized by being local and community-based. The recreational and physical activities reflected the lifestyle of the said community paying attention to the specific needs of that particular community. People engaged in traditional games and sports activities such as wrestling, racing exercises, stick fights, hunting with the use of spears and arrows, board games, bullfights, dances, and rustling among others. These activities were mainly driven by the need for survival and prestige. At the advent of colonization, the Europeans introduced western and European education systems in Africa and most of their colonies. Western-oriented physical education was also introduced and this opened the door to European games and competitive and team sports. This was propagated at the expense of local and traditional African physical activities which were perceived as barbaric. Consequently, physical education as a subject attracted a cold reception right from the onset. However, even though viewed negatively, the same aspects of physical education aspects introduced by the colonialists have persisted in post-colonial Africa. Very little has changed in terms of the content as well as the approach to teaching. This has seen the subject relegated to the periphery in favor of what is considered academic subjects. In addition to its being viewed as being too much western-oriented, physical education has also been criticized for having been introduced to achieve other non-educational objectives such as military training, training of lower-rank civil servants, the transmission of middle-class values of conformity and also for deferred gratification, and social control. Consequently, to date despite numerous studies linking physical education participation and cognitive development, it has been difficult to show that link in Africa. The emphasis on competitive team sports that were introduced by the colonialists has also seen the subject being viewed as of no value beyond the school, especially for those with no interest in sports. This paper argues that for physical education to play its rightful role within the education sector, there is a need to decolonize the teaching of the same. Teachers need to contextualize the games and sports so as to make them more relevant to the participants. They also need to emphasize how the skills learned and knowledge gained can be useful beyond school life and this will make the subject more meaningful for the participants.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0261/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
