This study reports on the results of students' perceptions of Digital Storytelling (DS) in online classes enhanced with synchronous Zoom meetings. Two main problems were identified with remote English as a Foreign Language (EFL) courses conducted primarily as asynchronous classes in spring 2020. Firstly, seven of the 64 participating students (10.9%) found the DS assignment very difficult. Secondly, there should be more opportunities for students to learn from others. In order to solve these problems, the courses in spring 2021 were enhanced with synchronous (90-minute) Zoom meetings held approximately every two weeks to increase interaction and support in the classes. The analysis of the post-questionnaires showed that there was a slight improvement, with only five out of 77 students (6.5%) reporting that they found the DS assignment very difficult; most students (92.2%) rated the difficulty level of the assignment as appropriate. Regarding learning from others, there were more positive responses from students in 2021.[For the complete volume, &quot;Intelligent CALL, Granular Systems and Learner Data: Short Papers from EUROCALL 2022 (30th, Reykjavik, Iceland, August 17-19, 2022),&quot; see ED624779.]

Although some research has been conducted on the importance of mediation in language learning and teaching (Dendrinos, 2006; González-Davies, 2020; Piccardo, 2012, 2020; Scarino, 2016), there is still scarce research on the integration of plurilingualism, mediation, and technology. Through qualitative and quantitative methodology, this paper investigates teachers' abilities in Italy and Spain to integrate plurilingualism, mediation, and technology. A survey has been distributed in order to explore teachers' attitudes towards the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their awareness of the definition and importance of mediation. Furthermore, some mediation tasks performed by teachers in which they had to integrate mediation, plurilingualism, and technology were analysed.

This paper examines the impact of self-directed pronunciation practice using &quot;Google Translate&quot; (GT) on the acquisition of French liaison (the production of latent consonants when they appear in consonant-vowel contexts across words: /z/ in le/za/mis 'the friends'). Second-language (L2) French learners completed homework activities on GT to practice pronunciation, utilizing the tool's Text-To-Speech (TTS) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) capabilities. Using a pretest/posttest design, the acquisition of liaison was assessed in terms of phonological awareness, perception, and production. The results indicated that while the L2 French learners significantly improved in their ability to &quot;produce&quot; liaison, their awareness and perception were not affected due to ceiling effects. Overall, learners reported positive views of their GT-based, self-directed learning experience.

When the developments in the field of contemporary Turkish art after 1950 are evaluated in terms of both substance and form, it is seen that the production techniques of works of art have undergone a lot of change. It is possible to say that innovative and experimental works, especially in the field of painting and sculpture, are developing rapidly. In these years, when the use of traditional materials began to change, different kinds of objects and materials began to be used frequently to create sculpture forms. Starting from the 1980s and 1990s, this change and innovative approach in Azade Köker's sculptures also occupy a very unique place in Turkish art. The use of different materials that stand out in Köker's recent sculpture works were evaluated as plastic in the research and analyzed by comparing them with traditional sculpture production materials. Examples of her works, which she exhibited especially in biennial and contemporary art meetings, were selected and evaluated within the scope of the research.

Up to now, social construction is still held by patriarchal views that result in the emergence of male domination in all fields, including in elementary education. Although the government has tried to suppress this bias, some practices still make one gender appears inferior. This study aims to determine if there is gender bias in elementary school students' thematic book questions. This research is a qualitative research in descriptive form. The research method used is the study of document content or content analysis, inferential type. The data source of this research is a document in the form of the 2013 Curriculum Second Grade Student Book. Based on the results of this study, researchers found that there is still gender bias in terms of the number of illustrations, professions, interests, and domestication of roles in one gender. Some suggestions were submitted to book authors as well as illustrators based on the findings of the study.

The three-dimensional design and production technologies are today widely used in many fields. Automotive, health, art and education, and especially architecture and engineering are among the prominent examples. The three-dimensional design technology can be categorized into two dimensions: design and production. The first of these dimensions, three-dimensional design applications and software, is software that can practically transform ideas into realistic and three-dimensional models. The production part, which is the second dimension, covers the processes of physicalizing the designed model with various 3D printers. To this end, this research examines and provides information about three-dimensional design applications and software that can be used in STEM education. In this context, five different basic, intermediate, and advanced applications and software that do not have access problems are included in the research. The examined applications and software are analyzed from various aspects such as ease of use, file format, operating environment, language and platform support, and supported operating system.

The need for neighbourness and Intercultural competences in Higher Education Institutions is ascending. This is because in recent times, there has been an increase in multicultural classrooms driven by globalization and the growth in global Internet connectivity. Globalization has enabled increased human mobility across physical national and cultural boundaries; while Internet connectivity has enabled virtual contact, interactions, and collaborations between persons from different cultures. Physical mobility, specifically for study abroad, results in physical multicultural classrooms. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview into the relevance of neighbourness in a multicultural classroom and challenges in a classroom that denotes the absence of neighbourness. The challenges are inspired and extracted from one-on-one Interviews with Higher Education Institution (HEI) teachers and foreign students from Finland, Italy, Denmark, Germany, Latvia and Turkey. Twenty people were interviewed. In the multicultural classrooms, six different challenges were identified as a result of analyzing the interview data. Those are language barriers, misunderstanding of cultural dispositions towards others, asymmetric communication, differences in cultural behavioral norms governing interactions, different styles of learning and problem with the familiarization with technology.

There is a growing body of research on using learning analytics in an online constructivist learning environment to improve students' engagement and self-regulation. However, little is known to what extent female and male students differ in their engagement and self-regulation in an online Constructivist Learning Design and Learning Analytics (CLDLA) environment. This study was conducted to explore gender differences in engagement and self-regulation in a constructivist learning design and learning analytics environment. To do this, 50 female and male graduate students from Allameh Tabataba'i University participated in a Moodle course called &quot;Teaching skills&quot; and they were asked to fill out Agentic Engagement Scale and Self-Regulation Questionnaires in two phases as pre-test and post-test. The findings showed that female students received a higher score for engagement and self-regulation scale compared to male students from pre-test to post-test. These findings suggest that female students found the online CLDLA environment more engaging and self-regulative than male students. Based on the results, recommendations for future research and educational practice are presented.

Cyberloafing is one of the phenomena that negatively affect the efficiency of learning and teaching activities in educational settings. Learners' increased access to information and communications technologies as well as to personal mobile devices in recent years has led to various forms of cyberloafing behaviors among learners. In this context, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the cyberloafing levels of high school students according to gender, the daily usage of social networking sites, the duration of membership to social networking sites and the number of friends on social networking sites. A total of 452 high school students, 219 male and 233 females, participated on a voluntary basis in the study, which was conducted in the descriptive survey model. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA test were used in the analysis of the research data. The findings obtained as a result of the analyses indicate that there are statistically significant differences between groups in the high school students' cyberloafing levels in terms of gender, daily usage of social networking sites, duration of membership to social networking sites and number of friends on social networking sites.

In the historical process, archaeological finds of past ages are objects that show aesthetic features of that day. Although these products, which are used to sustain daily life, are not called art objects, each tool played a role at the beginning of the ages. There is no record of life to be watched again. However, by following the traces of the produced objects, traces of the past can be made. Art products are, in a sense, the product of the cultural geography in which they emerged. It can be seen that there is not much difference between today's art and the artist's understanding of production, with the effort of human beings to beautify and the understanding of production adapted to life in the past. The research consists of application examples of seeing the aesthetic trace of the horn shape in archaeological finds hidden in the details of life forms and how the artist interprets it in his or her own contemporary applications.

Lecturer-student interaction is important for practical classes in Engineering Graphics that have specific features, e.g., working with graphical documents and individual assignments. Learning Management Systems (LMS) commonly do not offer appropriate tools for related tasks. As a result, students have to process their assignments outside the LMS, which reduces the effectiveness of the provided communication channels. Use of LMS usually assumes the student as the one who should initiate the communication. This way of working does not allow the lecturer to effectively motivate students and they is not able to track the whole process and offer timely guidance. This can be achieved through development of dedicated tools that address the specific tasks and provide a real time interaction lecturer-student. In order to check the conclusions made, a dedicated tool has been contrived allowing students to create the bill of materials of assemblies. This tool allows the lecturer to have real-time access to any students' work in its current state. The mentioned tool was tested during actual distance learning. The outcome shows greater motivation and better students' results. This confirms that implementation of dedicated tools with real-time interaction lecturer-student significantly improves distance learning and bring it closer to the classroom-based.

An important issue in the discussion on the quality of legal education is the interdisciplinary character of legal studies. The main problem is how much the interdisciplinarity is demanded and needed by the consumers of the legal education market. It is believed that bringing interdisciplinary elements into law studies curricula, contributes to enhancing knowledge, skills, competence, and qualities that are necessary in modern times, sometimes much more than just dry legal knowledge. Lawyers who have sound knowledge of economy, finance, sociology, or psychology may provide better services tailored to their clients' needs. The major question remains--what makes a good lawyer--technical legal skills and fluent knowledge of legal provisions, statutes, case-law, or ability to listen, to understand the social processes or economic mechanisms better, having a better methodological apparatus, familiarised with a richer range of points of reference useful in creating solutions in their respective fields--having learned them from other disciplines of knowledge. The goal is to analyse the content of the Polish legal studies and reflect on how higher education institutions may address the issue of interdisciplinarity, in the context of the growing pressure to have highly skilled lawyers who can adapt to the fast-progressing socio-economic environment.

There is a long-standing interrelationship between the military and medical spheres in society. Military actions rely on medical services to tend to casualties, and medical advances often come from the pressure of military campaigns that generate large numbers of patients. That interrelationship is a linear one of simple paired interaction. However, there is a deeper and more subtle relationship that influences military and medical theory. Both disciplines are schools of applied philosophy; real world result is required for the philosophical principles and theoretical approaches to be validated and maintained. Ornate intellectual edifice, which cannot produce a quantifiable result, is unacceptable in both these disciplines. As such there is a cognate type of intellectual discourse that involves observation, supposition, abstraction to principle, manipulation of principle, application, and evaluation of result. This process differs from abstract philosophy wherein the application, efficacy and assessment are often couched in qualitative and unclear parameters, which belie an accurate summation of result. This paper seeks to explore the relationship of the military and medical traditions of China, through a structured comparison of the intellectual framework of these two systems of applied philosophy. By exploring the medical and military conceptualizations of space and boundary, and the cognate vocabulary used in these two traditions, a better understanding of the deep structure of the core rubrics within the systems can be derived. Further, through comparative evaluation of source texts I will examine the parallelisms and dissonances of the views of space, boundary, power, and strategy.
