This article presents findings from a recent study of academic perspectives towards employability in architecture. The aim of the study was to gauge the perceived impact of COVID-19 on employer values, and the degree to which these perceived changes were impacting teaching practices. Thematic analysis of data from semi-structured interviews with eight members of a postgraduate architecture community in Australia--including educators, practitioners, and students--revealed strong consensus. The relative value of skills such as teamwork and autonomy were deemed increasingly important following the widespread uptake of remote work. On the other hand, the value of competencies associated with the design process itself, as reflected in professional accreditation criteria, were perceived as stable. Most enlightening were participants' views on how they believe employability skills are encouraged, observed and judged in academic contexts. By reinforcing how employability skill development tends to rely on the discipline's tacit enculturation practices, this study raises critical questions about quality assurance and assessment practices within the architectural community. Embedded in these questions is the understanding that the challenge of employability skills assessment is entangled within the discipline's failure to address its ongoing challenges around diversity, equity and inclusion.

The aim of the current research is to present a case of a client experiencing fear of death based on five stages of online individual counseling. For this aim, this case was evaluated based on the individual counseling process defined by Hackney and Cormier (2008) as five stages. In this context, the 1st session was carried out as the phase of establishing the relationship with the client, the definition of the problem in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sessions, the 5th session goal setting phase, the 6th 7th and 8th session intervention phase, and the 9th session termination phase. In the current research, the client has produced some strategies to cope with the fear of death with the effect of the online individual counseling process. These; developing alternative thoughts instead of negative thoughts, becoming desensitized, confronting, getting support from religious and spiritual values, instilling a sense of hope, trying to manage negative emotions such as anxiety and fear in panic situations with breathing exercises and relaxation techniques, getting to know oneself better, feeling of self-confidence and courage.

The cottage food industry has become a significant part of the food supply in Minnesota, most likely as a result of the growing consumer demand for locally produced, minimally processed and value-added foods. Using post-training evaluations, we characterized the cottage food producers in Minnesota and assessed the impact of our food safety course. The results showed that the producers are mostly white women (71%), producing and selling a variety of products. The learners gained knowledge to safely produce and handle homemade food products for direct sale to consumers. Majority (80%) of the learners were satisfied with the course.

Whole grain foods have been associated with health benefits, yet they are under consumed by youth compared to recommendations. This study evaluated impacts of a school-based curriculum among children in grades 3-5 to address barriers to intake (2018-2019) (n = 1,748). Surveys before and after the program indicated youth were more willing to try and better able to identify whole grain foods. Open-ended responses confirmed findings regarding increased ability to identify whole grain foods, increased preferences, and perceptions of availability. Together, these impacts could increase the likelihood that youth can meet whole grain intake recommendations to improve diet quality and health.

Although research on cultural representation in textbooks has been widely discussed, little is known about the cultural representation in Arabic and English textbooks endorsed by the Indonesian government. This study investigates the cultural representation in the two textbooks to fill the lacuna. Nested in the conceptual framework of cultural representations of a social context that consists of (1) introduction, (2) time, (3) profession, (4) health, (5) story and (6) daily activities, the present study reports that the culture in the two textbooks is represented using the categories of person, product, perspective, and practice. Specifically, in the person category, Arabic textbooks display more Arabic names than local names and tend to be &quot;Linguicism.&quot; This case is contradictory to English textbooks which accommodate some familiar local words. In general, more cultural representations are presented in the forms of local culture than foreign cultures, although in some parts, English textbooks are different from Arabic textbooks. For example, Arabic textbooks provide more visual data and contrast with English books in local culture. Likewise, Arabic textbooks tend to present more verbal than visual data in foreign cultures, while English textbooks do not. Finally, this research has implications for the need for specific regulations from the Indonesian government to regulate the percentage of cultural values in Arabic and English textbooks so that they can stimulate the emergence of cross-cultural understanding, which is essential for multicultural education.

This study was conducted to help improve elementary school students' critical thinking skills by integrating student electronic worksheets (SEW) in distance or virtual learning. This research uses a mixed-method, combining quantitative and qualitative, with research instruments in the form of questionnaires, observations, and interviews, executed by the researchers with a sample of 108 students (56 male and 52 female) and six teachers at the State Elementary School 19 of Rambang Niru in Palembang revealed that: 1) teachers have not adopted technology-based learning aids such that the student worksheet is still in the form of sheets of paper; 2) most teachers lack experience in making SEW; 3) the questions given to students are not higher-order thinking skills (HOTS)-based. It is attributable to the fact that teachers still use classical media (WhatsApp) in virtual learning. Thus, the learning materials delivered by the teacher to students are less attractive. This condition lowers students' interest in learning and, in turn, makes it difficult for students to understand the lessons delivered by the teacher. The most noteworthy finding in this study is the teacher's activity in using SEW with HOTS-based questions. The researchers noted that integrating a SEW made by inserting lessons and explanations in the form of video and audio and adjusting the learning materials according to the students' grade level made the students more interested in learning and more confident in answering questions using electronic media.

Strategic choices are critical and are essential to the future success of any organization. Strategic decisions made by the leaders are significant because they contribute to the implementation of the programs of the madrasah. This study examines school-based management strategies related to decision-making policy, decision-making model, participatory decision-making practice, and decision-making policy implementation. This study recruited 32 participants to participate in this study. Using record analysis, observation and interview data were obtained. The results show (1) that the principal needs a school-based approach that emphasizes aspects of spirituality and religion and maintains the importance of peace to enhance the performance of the madrasah, (2) that the principal frequently monitors teaching staff in their daily work, and (3) that the principal should make decisions on the basis of the mutual decision-making process. Participatory democracy is emphasized by the strategic decision-making process, such that all members of society have a say in what decisions are made and how they are enforced.

The ideas of free markets and less government regulation were associated at the turn of the 20th Century with a more internationalist approach and, at times, even more openness to immigration. Some of these dynamics have shifted particularly with the rise of a more populist economic message with leaders like Donald Trump. This study examines the relationship between free markets and immigration as well as examining the role of nationalism in this relationship. The findings show that there is a negative relationship between more free-market ideas and more inclusive ideas towards immigration though the relationship was not statistically significant when controlling for other variables. The implications of this incongruence in beliefs about the idea of free markets and the role of government are discussed with particular attention to the changing political dynamics within the United States. Furthermore, attention is given to the implications of this relationship for social studies teachers as they discuss issues related to immigration.

This study investigated the role of cultural literacy and peace education in religious harmonization of different communities in &quot;Kepaksian Sekala Brak,&quot; an Islamic-style kingdom in the province of Lampung, Indonesia, that followed Hinduism from the third century until it adopted Islam in the 16th century. A qualitative research approach was used with an ethnographic approach to determine the socio-cultural meaning of a particular community group. Data collection techniques included observation methods, open interviews, and documentation studies. The findings revealed that traditional leaders play an important role in &quot;Sekala Brak&quot;'s cultural literacy and peace education. Indigenous leaders assist the state government system, build local politics, and harmonize religious communities, as evidenced by the concepts and objectives of the traditional leadership of &quot;Kepaksian Sekala Brak.&quot; Indigenous community &quot;Kepaksian Sekala Brak,&quot; Lampung, was formed from the concept of cultural acculturation, which gave rise to new cultural assimilation. This new culture, called &quot;muakhi&quot; culture, is a form of brotherhood. In the harmonization of religious communities, &quot;Suttan Saibatin&quot; instills the &quot;piil pesenggiri&quot; principle, which contains human values, including mutual cooperation, mutual friendship, openness to the environment, and acceptance of immigrants. In conclusion, culture and peace education in indigenous communities can facilitate harmonization of religious communities that do not highlight one of their religious values. The government must support cultural literacy and peace education for indigenous communities to enable harmonization of religious communities throughout the archipelago.

This qualitative case study aims to address the ways that pre-service mathematics teachers (PSTs) used a rope in a daylong research meeting for cognitive development of children's understanding of counting numbers in Tanzanian elementary schools. Three university mathematics pre-service teachers volunteered participating in this study. Collective notes were taken as data to present the ways that PSTs used a rope in the research meeting for children understanding of counting numbers. Data was analyzed using Bruner's (1966) work on cognitive development. The results show that using a rope, it was found that counting numbers (0, 1, 2, ….,9) were formed, represented visually and symbolically, and read. The finding has implications in teaching and learning counting numbers, including teachers can use a rope to teach the concept of counting numbers among children in elementary schools for a relational understanding of the concept.

The aim of this research is to examine the philanthropy tendencies of university students in terms of whether they have received sports education or not and some variables. Survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. SPSS 26 statistical program was used for the analysis of the data. Descriptive statistics of the obtained data were made, and z-test was applied to measure whether the data showed normal distribution. Independent samples T test from paired comparison tests, One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test from multiple comparison tests, Post Hoc (Tukey) test to determine from which group the results arise in case of difference between groups were applied to the groups that were found to have normal distribution. When the research findings are evaluated, according to the age of the university students, whether they have received sports education or not, success grade, class level, income level, membership in student societies, non-governmental organizations, taking part in social projects, taking community service practices, doing licensed sports, doing regular sports. It was seen that there was no significant difference in philanthropy tendencies in terms of the number of sports and sports days. On the other hand, it was determined that there was a significant difference in the variables of gender and father's education level. In this respect, it can be said that female university students have higher philanthropy tendencies than males, and university students with low father education level have higher philanthropy tendencies.

Learning in the COVID-19 pandemic era tends to apply online learning both Synchronous and Asynchronous. Method of asynchronous learning such as using Edmodo, students meet with educators in online classes, where they discuss and do assignments and meet educators indirectly. Learning according to the IQF curriculum in tertiary institutions is skills oriented. Learning is designed based on learning outcomes. However, the reality of the outcomes produced by students has not been able to achieve maximum competence and the development of the times in the industrial era 4.0. The development of information and communication technology in the educational environment is very fast. For this reason, a contextual-based curriculum design is needed. Curriculum development design in this study has ODDE stages namely Observation, Design, Development, Evaluation. This stage is the development and analysis result of the PCMIE development design, namely Planning, Content and Method, Implementation, and Evaluation. The reason why the analysis stage was changed to observation because education and learning are changing quite rapidly. And the reason why the implementation stage was abolished because the development stage, competencies, materials, materials, media, and learning plans have been validated first. The attendance rate in the formative evaluation of the attitude assessment carried out for 8 meetings obtained an average attendance rate of 7.2 in the good category, while the attendance rate for 12 meetings in the summative evaluation averaged 12.8 in the Good category. The results obtained by the average student get a score of 67 in the sufficient category on cognitive assessment. This research is oriented to creating a product in the form of animation, video, or other media. Furthermore, assessment for skill is used to measure students' skills in designing a contextual product which is the result of learning each.
