This descriptive case study explored the presence of a community of inquiry among 4492 secondary learners enrolled in four asynchronous online discussion forums over a full year. The forums (Ethics and Philosophy, Reading, Astronomy and Space, and General Debates, among others not studied) were external to the students' schools across England. The data had been archived by the sponsoring organisation. We coded 3,113 transcribed messages posted or read by students using Garrison's Community-of-Inquiry model and coding tools--addressing social, cognitive, and teaching presence within the interactions, plus 307 online questionnaire responses from a cross-section of participants about reasons for posting or not and overall participation plus representative quotes were also presented. Of the 4,492 enrollees, 1,523 (34%) posted messages, 1,748 (39%) only read or viewed posts, and 1,222 (27%) never logged in. This posting rate was almost quadruple the rate previously reported for online communities. Participation was also wider. The largest numbers of messages reflected community-of-inquiry social presence, especially following-up others' messages. Cognitive presence particularly reflected sharpening thinking skills and knowledge. Teaching presence included asking stimulating questions and providing encouragement. Students who only viewed others' messages logged in frequently, reported stimulation and strong benefits in learning skills, and only occasionally reported shyness or intimidation. Active student participation and engagement include more than posting messages; they also include reading or viewing others' posts. Community of inquiry was highly evident in the asynchronous, secondary, online setting. An asynchronous platform, with effective teaching presence, can support important qualities of a community of inquiry.

The objective of this research is to describe the perceptions of university teachers about their human, professional, and pedagogical dimensions. The study was framed in the analytical empirical paradigm based on the positivist vision, the descriptive quantitative approach and the non-experimental-transversal deductive method. The population consisted of 246 teachers from three faculties of a Colombian public university and the sample consisted of 180 individuals, to whom a Likert-type questionnaire was applied with 32 questions related to four variables: sociodemographic characteristics, being personal, being professional, and being pedagogical. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistical procedures. The results show that the participating subjects have developed their personal, professional, and pedagogical dimensions as part of their teaching identity. Although not all university professors have advanced studies in education or pedagogy, the culture of university life with all its logics, allows the socialization and circulation of educational, and pedagogical knowledge/practices--teaching experience/identity--that favor the praxis towards teaching, learning, didactics, and evaluation.

This paper presents an application of the Kalman filter in signal processing in instrumentation systems when the conditions of the environment generate a large amount of interference for the acquisition of signals from measurement systems. The unwanted interferences make important use of the instrumentation system resources and do not represent useful information under any aspect. A simulation is presented using the Matlab tool, which remarkably facilitates the information processing so that the corresponding actions are taken according to the information obtained, taking advantage of the current resources offered by the embedded systems and the required measurements are obtained with enough accuracy.

This research tries to investigate the importance of mobile translation apps when carrying out translation activities in the classroom. Specifically, this is a semester-long study which attempts to see how beneficial it is to allow translation students enrolled in the translation program at the Department of Languages and Translation at Birzeit University full freedom to use mobile translation apps when rendering in-class assignments from Arabic into English. To this end, two divisions of journalistic translation (334) were used as the subjects of the study, one serving as a control group and the other serving as an experimental group. Throughout the course, six assignments were given to both groups to translate from Arabic into English. The control group was given full freedom to use mobile translation apps like Google Translate, while the experimental group was not allowed to use mobile translation apps and was instead furnished with the needed glossary. The final assignment was administered to both groups under the same conditions: no mobiles were allowed and the needed glossary was supplied. Upon analysis of students' mistakes and averages in the final exam, it has become evident that an absolute reliance on mobile translation apps such as Google Translate inside the classroom has a detrimental impact on translation students' linguistic competence and thus their translation performance. Therefore, the researchers strongly recommend translation trainers at tertiary level to allow translation students a very limited use of mobile translation apps especially when students study English at an EFL setting like our case at Birzeit University.

Human development is a dimension that concretizes evidence adjusted to social demands from a framework of formation of individuals focused on constructing knowledge from different perspectives. In this sense, the formation of the university research student, the motivation for the exercise of science and innovation, and the pedagogical practices by teachers have presented different curricular problems, which are of the total interest in this research. Its general objective is to generate epistemological reflections that articulate the curriculum and processes of resignification of research training in the context of a university with social relevance. It is carried out under a historical hermeneutic paradigm of qualitative type, using the hermeneutic circle, interview and discussion groups as tools for collecting information with university students of the region evidencing and proposing more current pedagogical bets, the importance of research seedbeds and knowing the main obstacles presented in the research praxis.

Values education is an accepted field of study in the world today. The cultural ties that values education has due to its nature are also reflected in the studies carried out. Based on the necessity of determining the trend of values education studies in the world, this research aims to bring a bibliometric view to the field. For this purpose, 256 articles indexed in Web of Science from 2005 to 2021 were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the distribution of the articles by years and journals, the prominent articles, authors, institutions, and the links between them were mapped. It has been observed that the journal &quot;Educational Sciences in Theory and Practice&quot; stands out in terms of the number of documents in the journals, and the journal &quot;Teaching and Teacher Education&quot; ranks first in terms of the number of citations it receives. The most influential authors are Thornberg, R., Lovat, T., and Clement, N. Among the countries, it has been determined that Australia ranks first in terms of both the number of documents and the number of citations it receives. The expression &quot;values education&quot; is the most preferred keyword. It was followed by the words &quot;values&quot; and &quot;moral education&quot;. It has been observed that the cooperation networks between the authors, institutions and countries are weak.

Creativity is not only for gifted students, but also for regular ones. This case study was aimed to analyze the appropriateness of tasks and the elaboration of multiple solutions to occasion fourth-graders' mathematical creative thinking through a documentary multiple-solution counting task in a figurative setting. The data came from the written report of 48 fourth graders in two classes in Taiwan, China. The appropriateness of creativity was reflected in the appropriateness of tasks and solutions, particularly suitable for complex problem solving. Elaboration was detail-dependent, and visualization was beneficial to the analysis of elaboration. The regular students who had just entered the fourth grade could show their creative thinking through different angles (horizontally or vertically) and starting points (holistic or partial), but with slightly more partial and horizontal than holistic and longitudinal, more adaptation than transformation. These fourth-grade students have had the basic mathematical creative thinking capability of adaptation, combination, change, rearrangement, extension or going back by using counting, combining, adding and reducing, overlapping, moving, and diagonal division strategies.

The learning styles of students vary both among individuals and across different disciplines they choose to study. In higher education, academic discipline appears to be a key factor influencing students' distinctive learning styles. This study, which aims to determine the dominant learning styles and models of talented pre-service teachers, was designed with the survey model. The study group research consisted of 1019 volunteer pre-service teachers who continued their education in Physical Education and Sports, Music, and Arts &amp; Craft Teaching departments. In the study, the VARK Learning Style Inventory was used as a data collection tool; students were asked to answer questions in a digital environment through Google Forms. According to the research results, kinesthetic style is the dominant learning preference for preservice teachers in the visual arts and sports sciences, and both kinesthetic and aural styles are the dominant learning preferences for pre-service teachers in music education. Although talented pre-service teachers tend to learn predominantly kinesthetic and aural styles when evaluated, 61.2% of pre-service teachers prefer to learn with a Multiple Learning Model, which covers the entire instructional diversity, rather than sticking to just one learning style.

The Turkish educational system employs teachers in a variety of positions with varying levels of privileges but also with some shared traits. This study aims to ascertain contract teachers' and school administrators' perspectives on the contract teaching procedure from the standpoint of these distinctions. The focus group interview technique, which favors the phenomenology approach, a qualitative research method, was employed in the study. 15 educators and 6 administrators who are employed in the Türkiye for the 2022-2023 school year make up the two separate study groups. Additionally, a semi-structured observation form was utilized in the research as a method for gathering data. In the data analysis, the content analysis technique was used to examine the information gleaned from the open-ended questions asked in the semistructured interviews. As a result of the content analysis, the study findings were thoroughly assessed, and the data gathered within the confines of each sub-problem was coded. These codes were then collected under the appropriate themes. It was concluded that the contract teaching had a negative impact on school administrators, contract teachers, and the educational process.

Studies confirm that professional development at the school base through the teachers' collaboration is the most result-oriented outcome among the alternative ways of teachers' professional development. One of the declared goals of the centralized system of teachers' professional development and performance assessment operating in Georgia is to facilitate teachers' collaboration. However, the contribution of the mentioned system in strengthening the teachers' collaboration has not been studied so far. The purpose of the present research was to study the impact of the centralized system of teachers' professional development and performance assessment on teachers' collaboration at general educational institutions. The issue was studied using the qualitative methods -- focus group, interview, and content analysis of documents. Eight schools were selected for the study. Two focus groups were conducted with teachers and one interview was recorded with a school leader at each school. Furthermore, interviews with ten experts in the field were recorded. It was demonstrated that the centralized system of professional development and assessment focused on developmental assessment helps to strengthen the teachers' professional relations. Activities closely related to the teacher's work, the correct attitude of the school leaders, teachers' involvement in making decisions, the existence of preset goals, working schedule and space are important for collaborative relations. Existence of unified mechanisms for professional development, mistrust among colleagues, changes being constantly introduced to the education system, shortage of time were revealed as hindering factors for teacher collaboration.
