The current paper attempted to perform an action research to measure the effects of using project-based learning (PBL) on students’ writing performance and their perceptions towards the use of PBL in writing lessons. In response to research aims, objectives, and questions, the researcher adopted mixed methods with the use of quantitative and qualitative approaches. While pre-test and post-test were adopted to collect quantitative data to measure whether the use of PBL promoted students’ performance after action research interventions, student questionnaires and teacher interviews were respectively used to collect quantitative and qualitative data of students’ perceptions of using PBL to promote their writing performance. One hundred Grade 9 and four in-charge English students were selected as research samples. Overall, the analysis of research data reveals the following findings: 1) Descriptive statistics and results of sample t-test of test scores indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in writing test scores of students, implying that the use of project-based learning generated positive impacts on students’ improvement in writing proficiency; 2) Data collected from the questionnaire indicated that students expressed their positive perceptions towards the adoption of project-based learning to promote students’ writing competence owing to the enhancement of learning environment, improvement in learning motivation and the positive impacts of PBL on students’ writing skills; and 3) Data collected from teacher interview also support findings from the questionnaire concerning students’ perceptions of benefits of PBL, leading to their students’ positive perception towards the use of project-based learning. Based on the research findings, the implications for the use of PBL in writing teaching and learning in an effective manner are proposed.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0095/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

<p>Everybody working seriously to implement Lean Accounting concept in their company eventually bumps up against their accounting systems. It soon becomes clear that traditional accounting systems are actively anti-lean. Lean accounting refers to the concepts designed to better reflect the financial performance of a company that has implemented lean service processes. These may include organizing costs by value stream, changing inventory valuation techniques and modifying financial statements to include nonfinancial information (Alves, Vieira Neto, de Mattos Nascimento, de Andrade, Tortorella, &amp; Garza-Reyes, 2022). The study sought to establish whether Lean Accounting influences the financial performance of Commercial Banks in Kenya. The study was guided by the Lean Philosophy model. The study used a cross-sectional research design and targeted employees working in all t8 commercial banks in Eldoret town, Kenya. A census of the study population was conducted. Questionnaires were used as data collection instruments. The data was analyzed using both inferential (multiple regression and correlation) and descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation) and was presented by the use of tables and charts. The study findings indicated that the study variables Lean Accounting β = 0.209, p &lt; 0.05 were significant to financial performance. The results showed that Lean Accounting was a positive and significant predictor of financial performance with (t = 3.250; ρ &lt; 0.05). The study recommended that the management of commercial banks in Kenya should strive to maintain the current lean accounting practices and further increase or improve them in order to enhance the banks’ value. They should also train staff on the use of Lean Accounting techniques in order to be able to improve their performance. </p><p><strong>JEL</strong>: G20; G21; M40</p>

The aim of this study is to determine the use of metacognitive listening strategies by EFL (English as a foreign language) learners in the Republic of North Macedonia. The participants in the study were two groups of EFL learners at two stages of language development: intermediate and advanced, in order to determine if the use of listening strategies changes with the development of language proficiency. The instrument used in the study is the MALQ questionnaire that investigates five groups of strategies: problem-solving, planning and evaluation, mental translation, person knowledge and directed attention. The results of the study showed that the students reported having a moderate amount of metacognition with an overall mean of 4.18 for high school students and 4.26 for university students. The Directed Attention, Person knowledge and Problem-solving strategies had higher scores and indicated a high level of awareness of these strategies for both groups, while Mental translation and Planning and evaluation showed an average level of awareness. The results provide valuable information to language teachers about the types of metacognitive listening strategies used by language learners so that they can make the necessary adjustments in their teaching methodology and strategy training of their students.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0225/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Coscos Ginalyn P. , Buenaventura Viola P. 
Published: March 2023

This study determined which domain, the teacher communication behavior, and the classroom environment, best influences the culinary competence of senior high school students for the year 2020 to 2021 in five (5) selected public secondary schools in the Province of Davao Occidental, Region XI, Philippines using a non-experimental quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. In analysing the data, weighted mean, standard deviation, Pearson r, and Spearman Rho coefficient were utilized. Findings show the levels of teacher communication behavior (TCB), classroom environment (CE) and culinary competence (CC) are “High”, and a significant relationship between TCB and CC, between CE and CC existed. None of the indicators would best influence culinary competence. It suggested that a conducive learning and working environment may have a significant relationship with the acquisition, development, and improvement of culinary competence but teachers will not have to make up for poor-quality materials with wrong or out-of-date information or methods that do not work.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0095/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study adopted three practical teaching strategies intended to positively affect learners’ writing skill while neutralising negative factors affecting their writing competence. To achieve the study objective which aimed at the assessment of the best teaching strategy to enhance learners’ writing proficiency, a comparative study of three teaching methods (namely communicative, eclectic and task-based methods) was used over a 6-week period as a treatment on three experimental groups A, B, C respectively and a control group (D) was taught using the conventional method. A pre-test was administered on two hundred (200) freshmen/subjects purposively selected from different Departments at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO). A post-test was used to ascertain the outcome of the six weeks period of treatment on their essay writing. Results varied according to groups but, most importantly, Group B showed very significant improvement and control group D showed no significant improvement at all in the post-test assessment while groups A and C’s writing ability improved just marginally at best post-test. Our findings suggest the need to pay attention to eclectic teaching techniques as a crucial element in enhancing writing proficiency among learners. The implications and limitations of this research in addition to guidelines for future research are discussed.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0022/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
HEROISM IN ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S SHORT STORIES
Authors: Nguyen Vuong Chan , Tuyet Nguyen Thi Nguyen 
Published: March 2023

Ernest Hemingway, a distinguished writer, is well-known for his writing theory called the “Iceberg Principle.” This theory is used to introduce the concept of Heroism, which depicts the images of heroes differently from the traditional stereotype. His novels and collections of short stories were written permeating the Iceberg Principle. Among them, In Another Country, Old Man at the Bridge, and The Old Man and the Sea characterized the heroes with their unique characteristics which readers needed to dig out to get a deeper insight into man’s fate with emotional overtones. The current study, with a qualitative and descriptive approach, illuminates Heroism in these short stories. The results show that there are five aspects that Hemingway applied to reflect his Heroism including age, life tragedies, isolation, persistence, and stoicism. Besides, throughout the three stories, one can see the development of Hemingway's heroes as they strive to reach perfection during his literary career.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0025/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

<p>Il ressort de nombreux travaux, que des élèves et étudiants font du « par cœur », qui a l’inconvénient de saturer l’espace de travail de la mémoire et de ne pas être mobilisable. L’objectif de ce travail était d’identifier les types de problèmes utilisés par des enseignants de physique-chimie de lycée d’enseignement secondaire général lors des évaluations formatives et sommatives, dans le cas du mouvement d’un projectile. Les résultats de nos entretiens avec cinq enseignants de physique-chimie montrent, qu’ils ne font pas recours au problème ouvert. Ils ont reconnu l’impact positif du problème ouvert proposé, sur la mémoire à long terme, pour un meilleur apprentissage, contrairement au problème fermé. Les enseignants doivent, eux-mêmes, être formés à l’enseignement par problème ouvert, dont la résolution se fait par modélisation. Cette double dimension (épistémologique et didactique) favorise les apprentissages dans le contexte de l’approche par compétences (APC).</p><p> </p>Many studies have shown that pupils and students use « rote learning », which saturates their working memory space and is not mobilizable. The objective of this work was to identify the types of problems used by high school physics-chemistry teachers during formative and summative evaluations, in the case of projectile motion. The results of our interviews with five physics-chemistry teachers show that they do not use open-ended problems. They recognized the positive impact of open-ended problems on long-term memory for better learning, unlike closed-ended problems. Teachers themselves must be trained in open-ended problem-based teaching, whose resolution is done through modeling. This dual epistemological and didactic dimension promotes learning in the context of the competency-based approach (CA).<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0028/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: March 2023

Teacher leadership has become an important aspect of the modern education system. Teacher leadership involves teachers assuming leadership roles and responsibilities, with the aim to drive improvement and positively impact student’s learning outcomes. Effective teacher leaders possess a combination of instructional expertise, collaboration skills, vision and initiative, communication ability, adaptability, advocacy, and ethical and professional dispositions. This qualitative study aims at examining teachers’ trainees’ perspective on teacher leadership. The study employed online semi-structured interviews of 37 teacher trainees from three teacher colleges in Morocco. The findings indicated that though most participants could not define teacher leadership in a broader manner, they are still super-conscious that teacher attitude is the most influential factor in teacher leadership practice. Regardless of those lopsided findings, there is a need for further investment in this field as teacher leadership is becoming increasingly important for teachers to contribute to driving change and making a positive impact on the education system as a whole.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0059/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The article describes possible explanations for the relative decline in teacher salaries during recent decades. The article focuses on the Norwegian case, but the situation regarding teacher salaries in Norway is equivalent in many other countries across the globe. Based on comparisons with other professions, three contributing explanations are proposed. All of these contributing explanations relate to a common theme of flexibility. The first proposed explanation is flexibility in certification, while the second and third have to do with flexibility in hiring.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0250/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
