The fact that the violin is a fretless instrument brings along intonation problems both in its performance and in its education. The introduction of technology into educational environments day by day, has led to the need to try different methods besides the traditional methods for solving intonation problems. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of computer-based visual feedback on the student's intonation on the violin. For this purpose, an 8-week experimental process was carried out with 8 violin students studying in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of the music teaching undergraduate program in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the quantitative dimension of the research, which was designed with mixed method design, a pretest -- post-test single-group experimental design was used. The quantitative data were collected with the intonation evaluation form and the qualitative data were collected with diaries and a semi-structured interview form. The dependent samples t-test was used in the analysis of the quantitative data, and descriptive analysis technique was used in the analysis of the qualitative data. In the implementation process of the study, students were given visual feedback only with Cubase VariAudio software. At the end of the study, it was seen that computer-based visual feedback contributed positively to the intonation skills of the students. The students stated that the study made an abstract situation concrete, offered an opportunity to make self-evaluation, contributed positively to the motivation and limited class hours, and that they wanted to use it while practicing on their own.

MoLam is a cultural performance art in northeast Thailand. MoLam is a profession that requires the high art of singing and relies on literary aesthetics and elaborate melodies to attract listeners. The objectives of this study were to: 1) research and collect information about Isan MoLam's performing arts, 2) explore the current conditions and problems affecting MoLam's performing arts literacy inheritance, and 3) investigate the process of transmission literacy to inherit MoLam's performing arts literacy. Descriptive analysis was used to examine and data from documents and fieldwork. The results of this study are as follows: (1) According to MoLam research, when the colonial country invaded this region, the Thai-Lao ethnic culture in northeastern Thailand and Lao PDR was split. On the Thai side, individuals flocked to the center area to meet with Siam. MoLam in the Northeast has steadily developed since then, and it may be classified into four types: (i) non-dramatic MoLam, (ii) dramatic MoLam, (iii) ritual MoLam, and (iv) miscellaneous MoLam. (2) As Thai society enters the internet era, there are numerous popular entertainment mediums, leading people's morals to shift and lowering people's interest in viewing MoLam performances and roles. The goal is to find a way to pass down this performance art to future generations. (3) Literacy transmission: After synthesizing the material to be taught, the students are separated into two groups: (i) MoLam singing has been practiced by a group of elementary and high school students; (ii) MoLam singing, and music have been practiced by a group of students at higher education institutions. Under the established parameters, both groups have extra talents. In conclusion, this study may be utilized as a model for conveying local wisdom information.

This research was prompted by a perceived lack of meaningful interaction between home and international students in one UK university that has a long history of internationalisation. The study sits within an interpretative paradigm, and it explores the perceptions and experiences of academics and home students. Five focus groups were held with undergraduate home students, and 19 interviews were carried out with academics, 10 interviews with home students and 2 with recent graduates. Home students report feeling that international students have a group identity from which they are excluded. This sense of exclusion and their perceptions of being marginalised in comparison to their international peers appear to lie at the heart of a lack of mixing on campus. These findings imply that academics and institutions can only bring about meaningful intercultural interaction when the different groups of students come to realise that they have shared goals and equal status, with a learning environment that embraces who they are and who they are becoming.

Artificial intelligence and technologies have started to directly affect and steer humanity with the developments in science and technology in recent years. Artificial intelligence is like a living organism that thinks, decides and remembers for humans. The effects and consequences of this situation on individuals and societies are explicitly predicted and observed. However, how these results will affect our future in the long term remains a big question mark. It seems likely that countries will add artificial intelligence and coding literacy skills to their curricula in order to raise awareness of their citizens in the face of these possible questions and problems in the coming years. Nowadays, understanding artificial intelligence is key to using technology effectively. Students' perceptions of this concept is crucial because of this. This present study aimed to determine the metaphorical perceptions of middle school students about the concept of artificial intelligence. Also, it is a qualitative study with phenomenological design principles. The study group consisted of 86 students studying in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades of a private school affiliated to the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) of the Republic of Turkey. The students were asked to complete the sentence &quot;Artificial intelligence is like... because...&quot;. The data obtained from the research were analyzed by content analysis method. As a result of the research, it was determined that middle school students developed 51 different metaphors about the concept of artificial intelligence. It was found that these metaphors developed by the students were diverse and creative. The most frequently used metaphors are human (10), brain (8), robot (4), technology (3) and scientist (3). The metaphors developed by the students about the concept of artificial intelligence were separated in 4 different categories. These categories are technical/ object, human/subject, nature-related and interesting/other. Middle school students perceived the concept of artificial intelligence mostly through human subjective elements. In addition, it was observed that students perceived the concept of artificial intelligence in a very broad perspective.

The dominant analytical and programmatic frameworks used when writing about conflict-affected contexts such as Libya in Global Northern academia belong to the interdisciplinary field of peace and conflict studies (PACS). Within this, education is increasingly gaining attention as a tool for building peace and developing social justice. This article is a cautious conceptual exploration of how pragmatism might be a timely intervention in the fields of PACS and peacebuilding education. In particular, the article takes a deeper look at the American philosopher John Dewey's pragmatist approach to politics and education, and his conceptualisations of a context-specific 'public', teachers and enquiry for peaceful and democratic living. Throughout, I argue that a pragmatist philosophy is a worthwhile pedagogical project in a challenging context such as Libya, as it is an internal and ground-up discourse, compared to the often externally initiated and top-down discourses of peacebuilding. I speak as an adjacent and connected critic, because I am both a Libyan and a German researching a problem in my country to which I hope to find possible solutions by engaging with discourses and practices in an academic institution in the Global North.
