Due to the necessity of English knowledge for international education, business, and travel, students, parents, and educators have made English language learning a priority from an early age. However, traditional English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms are no longer the only option. Types of classes which integrate language learning and course subject material are becoming more common throughout Europe and worldwide. This study aims to investigate the relationship between students' participation in nonlanguage (e.g., math, science, history) classes taught fully or partly in English and their use of English during free time activities. Data collected from a large-scale survey of 1,403 Czech lower secondary students from different types of schools is examined. About half of the students in the sample came from public or private multi-year grammar schools, which are generally prestigious and selective institutions. The other half of the students came from public or private basic schools. Findings suggest that students who participate in Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) and English as a medium of instruction (EMI) classes are overall more likely to engage in English-related free time activities and are significantly more likely to participate in activities that require active communication with other English speakers. Thus, these CLIL and EMI students use English in free time activities more often, which further supports their English knowledge and skills. These students also are more likely to hold a certificate in English and more likely to use English for active communication. In future research, the role that socio-economic status (SES) plays in free time activities and CLIL and EMI participation is examined, as it is possible that both activities are supported by highly-educated, high SES parents.

This paper reports initial results from a usability study conducted in the formative and user-centered design phase of a larger project to translate an existing, science-focused educational technology for neurotypical middle school students into a new, social-reasoning-focused educational technology for students on the autism spectrum. Participants in our study included both adolescents on the autism spectrum and typically developing adolescents, who were asked to complete the Betty's Brain educational-technology-based science activity as well as a social-reasoning movie question-answering activity. Results include qualitative observations of general student engagement and challenges as well as quantitative measures of performance and eye gaze, including key differences observed across our two sample groups, with the goal of informing the design and adaptation of future technology-based interventions. Our findings suggest specific considerations for designing educational technologies for adolescents on the autism spectrum, including: (1) finding ways to help students follow instructional/tutorial portions of new technologies, especially when lengthy instructions and/or complex interfaces are involved; (2) proactively anticipating and finding ways to mitigate potential student episodes of frustration / dysregulation while using the technology; and (3) capitalizing on features of the technology found to be engaging/motivating for students.

Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Mathematical Logic,Mathematical Models,Mathematics Activities,Language Usage,Kindergarten,Preschool Children,Mathematics Education,Thinking Skills,Cognitive Development,Logical Thinking,Persuasive Discourse

In this paper, the application of fuzzy logic in mathematical education is viewed from the perspective of pre- school education. The aim of the paper is to give a brief overview of examples from the literature related to fuzzy logic and to point out the presence of fuzzy linguistic variables in the everyday life of a preschool child, as well as the importance of developing and respecting the approximate reasoning of preschool children. Although crisp mathematics requires crisp arguments that characterize our cognitive development, preschoolers start from common argumentation and use vague words. Fuzzy logic is an excellent tool for supporting such approximate reasoning which allows preschoolers to model real-life situations using vague words.
Moses&apos; Phonic Readers. A Series of School Readers for Teaching the English Language by Sound. First Reader with 4,000 Words for Spelling by Sound
Author: Moses, Edward P.
Date: 1895-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Phonics,Auditory Training,Spelling,English (Second Language),Second Language Instruction,Foreign Countries,Textbooks

This series of school books is based upon the principle that children may be taught to spell and read by sound thousands of English words as easily as words are taught in German schools. This textbook is a reader used for spelling instruction. It uses the phonic method and avoids diacritical marks. To gather material for making the teaching of English words by sound as fruitful as possible, the author was forced to prepare, for the use of teachers and pupils in schools, at the expense of much time and labor, long lists of words arranged strictly according to sound. This book is the outcome of these labors.

The study aimed to design a technological authentic task-based program to enhance EFL secondary stage students' language use. The design of the present study was based on the one-group, mixed research design. Participants of the study were a class of 1st year, secondary stage students (n=30) in Al-Khansaa' governmental secondary school for girls, Al-Salam administration, in the academic year 2021/2022. The study utilized the following instruments and materials: a pre/post language use test, a rubric for measuring language use, a study program and interview questions after treatment. Then, the researcher designed the study program based on a technological authentic task-based approach. In this study, the researcher used some technological devices as online authentic language materials to expose participants to use language in various contexts. They received training on language use through the proposed program based on a technological authentic task-based approach. The participants' scores on the pre and posttest were statistically analyzed, using t-test and effect size. A qualitative analysis of the participants' performance was also conducted. Results revealed that using a technological authentic task-based approach was effective in enhancing the 1st year secondary stage students' language use.

Each chapter addresses a separate topic in science. Among them are: concert-room acoustics, origin of soap, oiling the waves, frost in water pipes and building materials, cooking stoves, consumption of smoke, air of stove-heated rooms, ventilation by open fireplaces, domestic ventilation, origin of lunar volcanoes, solidity of the Earth, formation of coal, the solar eclipse of 1871, meteoric astronomy, the &quot;Great Ice Age,&quot; the barometer and the weather, the chemistry of bog reclamation, aerial exploration of the arctic regions, limits of coal supply, coloring of green tea, luminous paint, the corrosion of building stones, homes gardens for smoky towns, and solids, liquids, and gases.
Complete School Algebra. Teachers&apos; Edition
Author: Hawkes, Herbert E.
Date: 1912-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Mathematics Instruction,Algebra,Secondary School Mathematics,Mathematics Teachers

The busy teacher of high-school algebra often finds that limitations of time forbid the actual working out of all the exercises and problems in a text. This teachers' edition is designed to meet such a condition. In its plan it is brief and schematic rather than complete and detailed. Many exercises are so simple that the answers only are given in this teachers' edition. The solutions of numerous other exercises are complete in outline only. For this reason they should not be regarded as models of the form in which the pupil should present his work. Circumstances may make imperative, and at times justify, the use of such a book as this.

Subjects: Textbooks,Mathematics Instruction,Algebra,Secondary School Mathematics

This textbook, designed for at least one and one-half year's work in algebra, is intended for the use of those schools which find a one-book course best adapted to their needs. Experience thoroughly justifies a careful review at the beginning of the third half year's work. As the first twenty-three chapters contain the greater portion of the usual first year's work in algebra, it seemed best to follow them with the review material. Each topic is given a broader and more advanced treatment than is permissible in first-year work. New matter is used throughout, and many new applications are given in order to make a fresh and inviting appeal to the student. In the remaining chapters the aim has been to include those topics considered necessary by the best secondary schools, and to treat each in a clear, practical, and attractive manner. The exercises and problems have been tested by class use. While their number is ample it is not excessive. [For &quot;Complete School Algebra. Teachers' Edition,&quot; see ED622734.]

A survey with 53 questions was carried out among the second-year students of the Faculty of electrical engineering and computing, University of Zagreb, Croatia, in June 2020, to acquire feedback about the motives of engineering students to elect economics/business-related courses when they have alternatives, their previous knowledge of economic topics, and basic financial literacy. The gender differences in the answers were statistically tested, showing no important differences. However, the structure of the population implied that the female students were less interested in the economics/business courses.

This report looks at the education and work outcomes of a national sample of bachelor's degree recipients four years after they earned their degrees. The findings are based on data from the 2016/20 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&amp;B:16/20). B&amp;B:16/20, which took place in 2020, is the second follow-up in a national study of students who completed the requirements for a bachelor's degree during the 2015-16 academic year. The first follow-up took place in 2017 and asked respondents about their bachelor's degree programs and any education and work they had in the first year after earning their degrees. The COVID-19 pandemic, which started a few months before B&amp;B:16/20 began data collection in June 2020, likely impacted the data presented in this report. Outcomes described include enrollment and employment status, federal student loan debt and repayment, earnings and other job characteristics, financial well-being, and teaching status.

Obtaining students' attitudes, opinions, feedback, etc., plays an essential role in the higher educational process because it makes it more bidirectional and engaging for the students. Including larger populations in surveys often calls for informational structuring/standardization for subsequent statistical post-processing. Moreover, it brings along some well-known methodological issues (e.g., the central tendency in Likert scale-based surveys). Here we build upon a relatively large student survey case previously presented more extensively in [1]. That survey was devoted to various aspects of economics and business-related education offered on an elective basis to electrical engineering and computer science students. Here we focus on the interference between the intrinsic information (that is, the &quot;true type&quot; student responses) and the processing method that, if not designed carefully, can increase incentives for students to conceal their true type and recourse to the neutral (&quot;central&quot;) answers. We also discuss our new practical approach currently tested in a similar population.

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Algebra,Mathematics Instruction,Secondary School Mathematics,Mathematics Teachers

The busy teacher of high-school algebra often finds that limitations of time forbid the actual working out of all the exercises and problems in a text. This teachers' edition is designed to meet such a condition. In its plan it is brief and schematic rather than complete and detailed. Less time should be required to prepare a lesson from this outline than from a text giving the solutions in full. For those exercises involving not more than one process in their solution the answers only are given. If two or more processes are required in a solution, an outline is given which covers each step of the work. Moreover, after each indicated step of the work, the result obtained by taking that step is set down. This scheme affords an easy method of tracing a solution. In the solution of problems the meaning of each letter representing an unknown is clearly stated, the equations representing the conditions of the problems in terms of these letters are given, and the schematic solution of the equation or system always follows. The authors and publishers desire the cooperation of teachers and school authorities in limiting the circulation of this book to actual teachers of algebra.

The study investigates the effects of media and advertisements on food purchasing and consumption in physical education and sports school students. 160 woman (mean age=21,52±1,9) and 248 man (mean age=22,14±2,2) totally 408 students of Turkey, Antalya Akdeniz University School of Physical education and sport, participate to the study. Research is aimed at case identifying and used questionnaire was prepared for the purpose of the study. % 79,4 of individuals follow the news, information and developments about 'healthy nutrition, sport nutrition, adequate and balanced nutrition, supplements, and new products' which are located in media and advertisements. The mass media which are mostly used and causing individuals to modify the nutrition habits are respectively internet, television and newspaper. % 60,5 of individuals finding reliable, information in the media and advertising and % 51,6 of them reports that they modify their nutrition habits influenced by these information. Milk and milk products, meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruits are most purchased food groups and fast food, chips, confectionaries are given up food groups, affected by these information. Studies show that, media and advertisements have effect on nutrition habits and product purchase. All occupational groups have to work for information which contained in advertisements and mass media to be reliable, scientific, real and clear. Also, inter-professional cooperation should be carried out.
