LECTURERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND THEIR ROLE IN SUPPORTING IT
Authors: Montenegro Aida 
Published: May 2022

<p>A positive relationship between emotional engagement and teaching support was reported in a previous quantitative study on students’ perceptions of student engagement in four introductory lecture-based courses at four different German universities. The present qualitative research was designed to collect data from the four German male lecturers who participated in the previous study to explore their perceptions of student engagement and their role in supporting it. The lecturers of varying degrees of experience were observed while lecturing and subsequently interviewed to analyze their motivating teaching behavior. The analysis highlighted that lecturers (1) positioned themselves as committed professionals with a sense of ownership, (2) attributed positioning to students as social scientists, and (3) communicated messages characterized by supporting autonomous motivation. The lecturers implemented motivation strategies to engage their students who exhibited a preference for intentional silence. Certain characteristics of the students attending introductory level courses in Germany, such as having gained self-regulation skills at upper secondary school, highlight the importance of establishing specific goals before attending higher education courses.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0933/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

<p>Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) can be defined as a unit of professional practice that can be entrusted to a trainee after they have obtained adequate competency. EPAs integrate multiple competencies from several domains and are very useful in designing competency-based curricula. Using EPAs to design medical curricula has been widely described, but their application to curriculum design of other health-related undergraduate programs is scarce. This manuscript critically assesses an educational planning experience of using EPAs to simultaneously design three healthcare undergraduate programs (nursing, biomedicine and psychology) at Faculdade Santa Casa BH, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We present the EPAs for each program, curricula frameworks, educational strategies, and assessment methods. Expert groups of professors and educational specialists defined the core professional activities that would be directly assessed and entrusted to trainees from the three different programs. The expert group then defined the required knowledge, skills, and attitudes for each EPA and selected the appropriate assessment tools to be used in entrustment decisions. The expected entrustment level for each training phase guided the course’s distribution of core and elective courses.<strong> </strong>The experience of designing a curriculum using EPAs was successful and helped focus on the core activities of each profession. It also provided an opportunity to reflect upon formative and summative assessments throughout the course bringing the challenge of reorienting our teaching practices and assessment approaches. Designing undergraduate curricula of health-related professions using EPAs is feasible and might help operationalize competency-based curricula.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0939/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Obafemi Deborah. T. A. , Iruloh Betty-Ruth Ngozi 
Published: May 2022

<p>This study investigated the presence, causes and effects of Physicsphobia among Senior Secondary School physics students in Rivers State. The study had a descriptive survey design. Three research questions guided the study. Purposive random sampling technique was used to select 500 Senior Secondary 1 and 2 (SS1 and SS2) Physics students from forty-four (44) schools in three Local Government Areas of Rivers State, which are Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, Port Harcourt Local Government Area and Gokana Local Government Area. The research instrument was a validated researcher-developed questionnaire titled ‘Students’ Physicsphobia Questionnaire’ with a reliability coefficient of 0.79 obtained using the Cronbach alpha formula. The findings of this study showed that Physicsphobia exists in students. The study further revealed some of the causes of Physicsphobia to be rumors and misleading information about Physics, teaching method, the uninteresting nature of physics lessons, as well as abstract, difficult and mathematical nature of Physics. The study also revealed some of the effects of Physicsphobia in students to be anxiety, rapid heartbeat, frustration, depression and a feeling of leaving Physics class. It was then recommended that conscious effort should be made to paint a better picture of physics, especially for students who are about to start the study of Physics.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0939/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Riga Vassiliki 
Published: May 2022

<p>The DESECE Children’s Festival was launched in 2010 at the Department of Educational Sciences and Early Childhood Education (DESECE) of the University of Patras. It is organised annually by the DESECE students in collaboration with their professors and comprises a variety of educational and creative workshops for children of a preschool age. To date, it has hosted over 10,000 children, and 300 institutions and schools, and has expanded its activities into other areas as well, such as teacher training. In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in order to support the children, parents and teachers, the Children’s Festival sought alternative ways of carrying out the event, creating online activities and a thirty-hour virtual festival over five days. This unprecedented experience offered great satisfaction to the Festival’s Organising Committee, which managed the crisis, and to the volunteer students, who improved their digital skills and gained experience in e‑learning. At the same time, it offered the possibility to people, both in Greece and abroad, to participate in the event, which until then had been limited to local society.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0958/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
CRITICAL EDUCATION AND INTERCULTURALISM IN THE TEACHING OF CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION: THE CASE OF GREEK PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATION
Authors: Vavitsas Theodoros 
Published: May 2022

The present research aims to investigate Interculturalism and the Emancipatory Interest in the textbooks of Citizenship Education in the Greek Primary School. Applying Habermas’ theory of Emancipatory Knowledge Interest as a theoretical framework, the research methodology used is interpretive content analysis. The results of the research showed that Intercultural Education is promoted by the textbooks of Citizenship Education in the Greek Primary School, mainly by the one taught in the 6th class, while the Emancipatory Interest is, also, reflected in many cases. The perspective of valorizing the Emancipatory Knowledge Interest derives not only from the textbook of the 6th grade itself, but also from the teacher's contribution, which is to be evaluated as equally crucial. Finally, although the subject of Citizenship Education contributes, clearly, to the reproduction of the dominant ideology, it seems that if we study the content of the textbooks in-depth and, in particular, the concepts it discusses, namely, freedom, justice, equality or solidarity, we can, definitely, identify opportunities for emancipation.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Yanar Berna Saygıner , Şahinkayası Hamide 
Published: May 2022

Due to Covid-19 pandemic precautions, the 2020-2021 academic year was a radical shift from face to face education to online at all levels throughout the world. Students who were newly enrolled to their university from different regions of Turkey started their lessons as EFL Prep-class students without meeting their classmates, feeling isolated. In order to make them feel in a classroom, create their sense of belonging and the rate of participation in lessons during emergency remote teaching, online group video tasks were designed for an EFL prep class. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of the effects of online collaborative group video tasks on their English and some 21st-century skills. It has a sequential explanatory design that is a type of mixed-method research. The students were given three group video tasks during the semester. After they finished the tasks, a 4-point Likert-type scale questionnaire was administered to the whole class, groups’ videos were analysed, and in order to get students’ perceptions in-depth, semi-structured online interviews were held with six voluntary students. It was found out that group video tasks through online collaboration were beneficial for the development of the use of English, writing, pronunciation and speaking skills, helped students develop a sense of belonging to their class. These tasks made students learn how to make a presentation, helped them gain some digital skills such as using video-maker programs, as well. It was also found out that Microsoft Teams was a student-friendly platform for online classes.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0936/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Canli Umut , Kurt Cem 
Published: May 2022

In this study, we aimed to analyze whether a relationship between anthropometric and physical performance characteristics and ball velocity in different throwing techniques of well-trained female handball players exists. Twelve well-trained female handball players (age, 22.47±4.57 years; body mass, 66.70±11.05 kg; height, 167.33±7.41 cm; handball experience, 9.91±3.47 years) from a local team that participated in Turkey’s First Women’s Handball League were recruited in this study. Anthropometric measurements, body indexes, physical performance, and ball velocity were evaluated in all subjects. A positive relationship was found between ball velocity in 9-m throw after three steps a jump and arm span, bi-iliac breadth, and bi-acromial breadth (r2=0.49; p=0.03, r2=0.50; p=0.03 and r2=0.57; p=0.02, respectively) as well as between ball velocity in 9-m throw after three steps and a jump and Monourier index (r2=0.52; p&lt;0.04). Ball velocity in 9-m throw after three steps and a jump was negatively related to Cormic index (r2=-0.52; p&lt;0.04). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that all performance parameters affect neither the 7-m throw (R=0.85, R2=0.73; F(4-7)=1.61; p&gt;0.33) nor the 9-m throw three steps after and a jump (R=0.88, R2=0.77; F(4-7)=1.96; p&gt;0.26). However, a moderate positive relationship between 9-m throw after three steps and a jump and grip strength (r=0.54; p=0.03) and vertical jump height (r=0.53; p=0.03) was noted. Neither 7-m standing throw nor 9-m throw after three steps and a jump correlated with other variables. Arm span, bi-iliac breadth, bi-acromial breadth, Monourier index score, Cormic index score, vertical jump height, and grip strength may have a positive or negative effect on 9-m throw after three steps and a jump in well-trained female handball players. The results of this study may be useful in the identification of handball skills.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0761/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Sarratt Carla 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT
From its inception in 1869, Cleveland Public Library (CPL) solidified its mark in library history with the development of resources and practices that have been implemented by other library systems throughout the world. In 1940, when Louise Cornelia Ferguson Bolden made front-page news in the Cleveland Call and Post, the tide shifted for Black librarianship in Cleveland, Ohio. Her historic forty-six-year career in library science includes being the first Black student to graduate from Case Western Reserve University Library Science School and the first Black librarian at CPL. The Cleveland Call and Post, her personnel file, and annual reports provide a treasure trove of information about Bolden’s career as well as the state of the library and the city of Cleveland. Her career as a librarian not only expands the history of the library, but also tells the history and anthropology of the people in the community.
