Doprinos primene direktne u odnosu na indirektnu hands-on instrukciju na postignuća učenika u početnom obrazovanju u prirodnim naukama

Ensuring the optimal (adequate) level of instructional guidance in teaching natural sciences in primary education is of utmost importance for the proper acquisition and application of knowledge. The goal of this paper is to examine the contribution of direct hands-on instruction relative to an indirect one on student achievement regarding the movement and properties of materials in classes of integrated natural sciences (classes of the World around Us and Science and Social Studies). The research tasks include a comparative analysis of the quality of students' knowledge acquired with the application of direct in relation to indirect hands-on instruction, as well as the analysis of the permanence of that knowledge. The following methods were used in the research: theoretical analysis method, descriptive-analytical method, and experimental method. The research technique is testing, and the instrument is knowledge tests (pre-test, post-test, and re-test). The research sample consisted of 94 students of the third grade of primary school, divided into two groups: E1 (application of indirect hands-on instruction) and E2 group (application of direct hands-on instruction). The results of the research indicate that the students of the E1 group achieved somewhat better and more lasting knowledge about the movement and properties of materials in relation to the students of the E2 group. However, a significant difference between their achievements was observed only at the cognitive level evaluated in the post-test. This leads to the conclusion that both types of hands-on instructions should be applied in the third grade when teaching the content related to the movement and properties of materials. In addition, greater preference should be given to indirect over direct hands-on instruction because it not only provides an opportunity for students to have better achievement, but also it enables a greater degree of independent research and experimental work.

The Effects of the Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach (CALLA) on Vocabulary Strategy Use by Moroccan Common Core Graders

Much of the research in the field of English language teaching indicates that not all Strategy-Based Instruction (SBI) studies have achieved successful results. Some SBI programmes have proved their efficiency in some skill areas but not in others, even within the same study (Oxford, 1989). This study explores the effect of vocabulary strategy instruction application with a sample of 40 EFL learners attending a common core class in a Moroccan high school. The student participants were divided into an experimental group, which received vocabulary strategy training, and a control group, which followed the regular English language course. Vocabulary strategy use in both groups was evaluated with the use of the adapted Vocabulary Learning Questionnaire of Gu and Johnson’s (1996, pp. 673-679) (VLQ Version 3), which was distributed before and immediately after the intervention. The results indicated that after the completion of the intervention programme, the experimental group showed significant improvement in self-reported vocabulary strategy use as a whole as well as in all strategy groups. The findings of the current study prove the "teachability" of learning strategies and insist that explicit and integrated strategy training should be implemented in the EFL classroom. From a theoretical point of view, the results of the study may lead to a good understanding of the nature of language acquisition in general, particularly in foreign language learning contexts. Furthermore, the results may be very useful for practitioners who are involved in the areas of syllabus design, curriculum planning, and material development.

Using the Design Environment for Low-amplitude Thermoacoustic Energy Conversion in the Classroom.

The Design Environment for Low-amplitude Thermoacoustics Energy Conversion (DeltaEC) is a free software package that is capable of modeling quasi-one-dimensional, multi-domain acoustical networks and includes a 300-page users' guide. The program is a versatile differential equation solver that analyzes a series of "segments" representing ducts, compliances, speakers, etc., that are specified using MKS units. DeltaEC can be a useful pedagogical tool for an introductory course on acoustics in fluids. Examples of its instructional applications include illustration of effective length and quality factor for a Helmholtz resonator and the modes of coupled Helmholtz resonators, as well as standing waves within a resonator of variable cross section and within a catenoidal horn driven by an electrodynamic loudspeaker. Segments representing electrodynamic loudspeakers, radiation loading, and flow resistance in porous media will be used to demonstrate the coupled-oscillatory behavior of a bass-reflex enclosure's complex electrical impedance versus frequency. DeltaEC's plotting features allow immediate visualization of the pressure and velocity fields as well as the power flow or temperature distribution through a network or within a resonator, horn, or waveguide. The "thermo-physical property" feature provides fluid and solid properties at the students' choice of pressure, temperature, and frequency, making it useful as a "handbook" for other assignments.

THEOLOGICAL BASIS OF PRINCIPLES OF HYGIENE ANDAPPEARANCE OF MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS

The religious and theological basis of the components of the teachings of a healthy lifestyle of members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, namely the principles of hygiene and appearance of the faithful of this denomination, are analyzed. 
 The purpose of the article is to determine the theological basis of the principles of hygiene and appearance of the faithful of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The peculiarities of the Adventists' interpretation of the Holy Scriptures regarding the application of the Old Testament hygienic instructions in the conditions of modern realities are highlighted. Emphasis is placed on a number of principles in Adventism regarding the contents of a Christian's wardrobe. It is highlighted that from the Adventist point of view, it is the clothing and appearance of a person that is an important indicator of a Christian character and a silent testimony to the values ​​that a person adheres to. It is emphasized that important in the appearance of a person are gender differences in clothing, which clearly indicates a male or female identity. Emphasis is placed on regular consumption of sufficient water to prevent and improve physical condition, and good health in turn is a reliable basis for the perception of high moral values, including spiritual ones. The analysis of the theological basis of the principles of hygiene and appearance of members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church presents a holistic concept of Adventists, namely: human health is three interrelated components: physical, mental and spiritual. The key thesis of the theological basis in Adventism on hygiene and appearance is the following statement: there is no point in disturbing the Lord's prayers if one ignores the moral principles and laws of hygiene and appearance that are already set forth in the Scriptures and understandable because most diseases is the result of a wrong way of life and a departure from moral and ethical Christian values.

Application of Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) in the Physical Education: Survey Analysis of Chinese Universities.

With the advent of artificial intelligence, computer-aided instruction has developed into intelligent computer-aided instruction. Computer-aided instruction not only overcomes many weaknesses of traditional physical education teaching but also significantly increases the teaching effect and efficiency. This article first studies and analyzes the characteristics of computer-aided instruction systems. Then, we use statistical methods and logical analysis to randomly select two classes of undergraduate students as the experimental and control group, respectively. In the control group, the traditional teaching model was adopted, while the experimental group adopted the computer-aided teaching mode. The experimental group showed significant improvement in physical education as compared to the control group. The results of this study validated that the use of computer-assisted instruction is beneficial in the implementation of physical education programs, mostly in teaching concepts and principles of academic nature.

Investigating students\u2019 perceived authenticity of learning activities in an out-of-school lab for social sciences: a replication study

Out-of-school labs (OSLs) aim to foster students’ interest in and knowledge about scientific ways of thinking and working by engaging them in authentic activities that emulate processes of scientific inquiry. However, research has not yet focused on investigating whether students perceive those activities as authentic and whether students’ perceived authenticity is related to further motivational (e.g. situational interest) or cognitive (e.g. achievement) learning outcomes. An authentic learning activity that emulates scientific inquiry processes is Productive Failure (PF). In PF, students are asked to explore solutions to a complex problem before they have to falsify their solutions during instruction. The present study, which aims to replicate the findings of a previous study, investigates whether PF has an impact on students’ perceived authenticity and their situational interest in an OSL for social sciences. We further examined whether students’ perceived authenticity is associated with their situational interest and knowledge acquisition. For this purpose, we conducted a quasi-experimental study with 152 10th graders and compared PF to Direct Instruction (DI). DI can be characterized as less authentic, as it promotes the conceptualization of scientific inquiry being nothing else but an application of instructions. The results mostly replicate the findings of the previous study, showing that the authenticity level of the learning activity did neither affect students’ perceived authenticity nor their situational interest. Furthermore, students’ perceived authenticity correlated with their situational interest but not with their knowledge acquisition. We discuss the results in light of previous research on the effectiveness of authentic learning settings.

Early-learners' expectations of and experience with IPE: A multi-institutional qualitative study

BackgroundMulti-institutional qualitative studies are scarce within the interprofessional education (IPE) literature; such a report would provide comprehensive evidence for the application of interprofessional instruction among earlier learners. ObjectiveThis investigation explored students' expectations of and barriers to introductory IPE across four institutions. DesignQualitative inductive content analysis was utilized to interpret students' narrative responses to assigned pre- and post-survey questions. SettingHealth science schools of four U.S. institutions at Institution A, Institution B, Institution C, and Institution D. ParticipantsTwenty-two percent (n = 385) of eligible participants completed both pre- and post-surveys. Nursing student participation was greatest (n = 113, 33%), followed by occupational therapy (n = 44, 13%), and physical therapy (n = 36, 10%). All other program participation was <10%. In total, students' narrative comments from 19 degree programs were a part of the data set. MethodsResponses from one pre-survey question on expectations of introductory IPE and two post-survey questions on IPE benefits and barriers were studied using qualitative inductive thematic analysis. ResultsFour themes emerged as IPE learning expectations and benefits: my own professional role, professional role of others, teamwork, and communication. The theme of interacting with peers surfaced as an additional IPE benefit. There were four themes noted as IPE barriers: course logistics, lack of context, course content, and social dynamics. ConclusionThis multi-institutional qualitative study adds to the literature by providing empirical evidence regarding early learner perceptions of IPE experiences. Student expectations and benefits of their introductory IPE course/curriculum aligned. Perceived barriers are useful in informing future IPE implementation and research.

Application of VR technology in civil engineering education

AbstractVirtual reality (VR) technology is a kind of computer simulation system that can create and experience the virtual world. It uses computers to generate a simulation environment. It is a system simulation of multisource information fusion, interactive three‐dimensional dynamic view, and physical behavior for users to immerse in the environment. The practical application of virtual instructional models is developed to support civil engineering teaching, disciplines related to civil engineering processes, including classroom education and e‐learning technologies. The virtual model can be interactively operated, allowing the teacher or student to monitor the physical evolution of the work and the progress of architectural activities inherent in it. This paper analyzes the development status of VR and its application in teaching research and describes the application of a VR teaching model to demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of VR teaching. The developed application can display the physical evolution of the task, detect the planned construction sequence, and view the shape details of each construction component. The use of VR technology in developing these instructional applications contributes to education by increasing the efficiency of the models to allow for the interactivity of each simulation task. Therefore, the new concept of VR technology applied in teaching mode brings a new perspective to civil engineering education.
