Published: January 2025

The study examined the effect of concept mapping instructional strategy on senior secondary school students’ scoring levels in biology in Kwara State. A quasi-experimental research design of pretest, posttest, and control group was used. The target population was 852 Secondary School Students (SSS II) from two selected public senior secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara State. The sample consisted of 80 Senior Secondary School II Biology students purposively selected from two Public Secondary Schools in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. The adapted Biology Concept Map Instructional Strategy for Teaching Cell Division (BCMISTCD) and Scores from the Biology Performance Test (BPT) were used for data collection. The instruments were duly validated by experts. The reliability of the Biology Performance Test (BPT) instrument was .83. Frequency count, percentage, mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions (1-2). Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and T-test were used to test the null hypotheses 1-2 at 0.05 level of significance. Results show that there is a significant difference in the scoring levels of Biology students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division (p.<0.05). The study also indicates that there is a significant difference in the male and female students scoring levels when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division (p.<0.05). Based on the results, the study concludes that there is a significant difference in the post-test and post-posttest scoring levels of the students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach them. The study also concludes that male students’ scoring level is higher than that of female students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division. The study recommends that Biology teachers should teach female students who have low-scoring levels in Biology by using concept concept-mapping instructional strategy. This would further improve the female students’ scoring levels in the Cell Division. The study recommends that Biology teachers should focus more on female students when concept mapping is used to teach Cell Division.

Authors: Echalar Adda Daniela Lima Figueiredo 
Published: January 2025

As discussões sobre as relações entre educação e tecnologia no contexto da sociedade do capital, com a especificidade da “inteligência artificial”, possui distintas possibilidades explicativas, já que a realidade se constitui por múltiplas determinações, que são orientadas por distintos interesses ideológicos. Os estudos do grupo de pesquisa Kadjót revelam que a produção acadêmica sobre o fenômeno, em grande medida, é tecnocentrada. Isso porque dicotomiza sujeitos sociais e os produtos e processos da vida humana em sociedade (técnica, tecnologia e ciência), ocultando o processo histórico e ontológico de se humanizar em sociedade. Superar os caminhos pelos quais o capital se mantém hegemônico no mundo, se efetiva com a mudança real das condições de vida do povo. Os e as convido para pensarmos a IA e demais tecnologias superando o simplismo que a compreende como ferramenta ou recurso, meio ou fim, com fetiche ou aversão, pois estes olhares expressam uma leitura parcial e limitada do fenômeno.
Entrepreneurship in performing arts: Towards new challenges in higher education
Authors: Hayashi Lucie , Šilerová Lucie Pešl , Žádná Ingeborg Radok 
Published: January 2025

There is a lack of suitable educational approach to Entrepreneurship in Performing Arts in the Czech Republic. In this paper, the authors describe the creation of a single-semester course in Performing Arts Management to target students at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, specifically non-management fields of study, musicians, dancers, artists, and film-makers who aim for an entrepreneurship career in the future.
Methods: Theoretical background was acquired by comparing similar curricula and modules of major European and American arts education institutions. The local empirical background was secured from alums (two world café sessions) and pre-graduate students (three “project bourses” and “speed dating” sessions). Feedback from pilot lectures and one-on-one coaching was thoroughly evaluated.
Results: Participating students identified and answered specific needs positively. Principles and professional fundraising and marketing methods were valued more than specific situation-solving. The theoretical background was reduced to the essentials. Nevertheless, the theories were implemented in practical task-solving, equivalent to music instrument routine rehearsals rather than music instrument theory. This approach enabled professionalization and successful implementation of individual projects with supervised coaching.
Conclusion: A new educational approach was theoretically prepared, applied, and evaluated within a four-year project, ready for application in other institutions educating arts professionals.

Its innovative approach bridges gaps in existing models, providing practical solutions for HEIs to create secure, equitable, and culturally responsive digital environments.
What Do Women (With Serious Knee Injury) Want to Know About Knee Health? Identifying Research Priorities With a Consumer Advisory Group
Authors: Haberfield Melissa J. , Crossley Kay M. , Patterson Brooke E. , Bruder Andrea M. 
Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVES: To (1) establish a women’s knee health consumer advisory group (CAG) via an evidence-informed process and (2) identify the CAG’s research priorities to inform future projects. DESIGN: Mixed-methods priority-setting study. METHODS: The CAG was established, grounded in a participatory action research approach and using the Patient Engagement in Research Framework, to inform a 4-phase process: (1) understand, (2) plan, (3) undertake, and (4) evaluate. We identified the CAG’s priorities for knee health research via a mixed-methods approach using the nominal group technique (NGT). We adopted a constructivist epistemology, using reflexive thematic analysis to construct codes and themes inductively. RESULTS: Six women (mean age of 35 years) joined the CAG, generating, reviewing, and discussing 70 ideas during NGT phases 1 to 3. We constructed 14 codes, grouped into 3 key themes: (1) best practice management and support for serious knee injury and rehabilitation, (2) social and gendered factors; and (3) physical, psychological, and personal factors. Voting and ranking (NGT phases 3-6) revealed the CAG’s highest priority for future research was “Knowledge of, and access to specialised knee rehabilitation and practitioners.” CONCLUSION: Establishing a CAG was an achievable and novel approach to identifying consumer priorities to enhance women’s knee health outcomes. Women wanted improved access to information and best-practice care via genuine therapeutic relationships with practitioners who understand the gendered-social rehabilitation environment.

Published: January 2025

Forest and land fires constitute a calamity influenced by actual evapotranspiration (act) derived from ERA5-land data, evaporation from open water (pev) derived from ERA5-Land data, and Penman-Monteith evaporation (et0). This study aims to scrutinize the characteristics, spatial and temporal aspects of these three variables, and assess the efficacy of pev and et0 in modeling forest fires through Ridge Regressions. Forest fire-related data, acquired via the Empirical Orthogonal Function method based on Singular Value Decomposition, will be employed. The analysis characteristic, temporal, spatial, and ridge regression assessments, with hotspot data serving as an indicator for forest and land fires. The findings reveal that the pev variable requires the fewest computation indicators. The characteristics of the act variable closely resemble those of the et0 variable. All three variables exhibit similar spatial and temporal patterns in forest fire-related data. The performance of the pev in modeling forest fires is better than the reference evapotranspiration variable in most local region analysis. This result highlights the potential applications of pev in modeling the general characteristics of fire events, making it robust across different regions. However, for modeling extreme events, et0 proves to be superior to other analyzed variables, particularly for events not included in the training data. Thus, et0 has higher potential performance in analysing and modeling future impact of climate changes related to fires risk rise due to more frequent drought condition.
