Enhancing high school human evolution education: Harnessing “sapiens: a brief history of humankind” as an effective learning resource

Understanding human evolution can be challenging for students and may lead to misconceptions, often stemming from the learning materials employed. Current learning resources commonly include textbooks, images, and the internet. The popular science book "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" offers potential as an educational tool for teaching human evolution. This study aims to assess the suitability of "Sapiens" for high school Biology education and its potential as a resource for teaching human evolution in senior high school. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a content analysis approach, data is gathered through documentation techniques. Primary data is derived from the documentation and content analysis of "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind." Data analysis follows the model proposed by Miles and Huberman (1983), encompassing data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the book effectively addresses 7 out of 9 (77.78%) sub-topics of human evolution commonly taught in high school Biology. Importantly, the book replaces outdated terms like Pithecantropus and Megantropus paleojavanicus, found in traditional textbooks. Moreover, the book fulfills the five criteria for selecting learning resources as outlined by Djohar (1987). Consequently, "Sapiens" can serve as a valuable learning resource for high school Biology, particularly regarding the study of human evolution.

From mass marketing to personalized digital marketing in tourism: a 2050 horizon paper

Del marketing de masas al marketing digital personalizado en el sector turístico. Un documento de horizonte 2050ResumenObjetivoLos antecedentes académicos del marketing turístico se remontan a la década de 1960. Hasta principios de la década de 1990 se produjo un ligero aumento de su capacidad. Sin embargo, desde entonces ha experimentado un gran auge, alcanzando miles de artículos de revistas y decenas de libros publicados solo en inglés cada año. Por lo tanto, este estudio pretende presentar cómo ha progresado académicamente el marketing turístico en los últimos 60 años, a lo largo de cuatro oleadas, y cómo este progreso puede avanzar como la siguiente oleada en el futuro.Diseño/Metodología/EnfoqueUn análisis bibliométrico fundamenta este estudio, en el que se caracteriza el pasado y el presente de la investigación en marketing turístico y se anticipa el futuro. Para identificar los grupos temáticos y sus conexiones se adoptaron análisis de contenido, como nubes de palabras y análisis de redes sociales. De Scopus se extrajeron nueve mil doscientos treinta y nueve artículos publicados entre 1969 y 2024. Se utilizaron paquetes de software, como VOSviewer, para determinar las conexiones dentro de los temas.ConclusionesHemos evaluado los resultados a grandes rasgos. Hubo cuatro oleadas, desde finales de los años sesenta hasta el primer trimestre de 2000. A pesar del limitado número de trabajos de las primeras oleadas, en la última se produjo un auge y una diversificación del número y la categoría de los temas estudiados. En cada oleada se añadieron nuevos temas para ampliar el panorama.Limitaciones e implicaciones de la investigaciónEl análisis de los resultados se basa únicamente en los artículos científicos publicados en inglés desde 1969, pero excluye toda la lista de libros de texto. En futuras investigaciones deberían incluirse todos los artículos y libros de texto publicados en otros idiomas para ofrecer un panorama lo más amplio posible a nivel mundial.Consecuencias prácticasLas recomendaciones para los profesionales del sector y los responsables políticos se centran en evaluar con detenimiento las tendencias en la comercialización de los servicios turísticos y en cómo pueden evolucionar en un futuro próximo. Esto puede ayudar a los profesionales y a los responsables políticos a rediseñar sus servicios y estrategias de marketing teniendo en cuenta la evolución futura.Originalidad/valorEste estudio se basa en uno anterior, publicado recientemente por Kozak (2023), que se desarrolló específicamente desde la perspectiva de la industria. El presente estudio examina el perfil académico de todos los sujetos estudiados en el caso del marketing turístico, pero principalmente desde una perspectiva académica. En consecuencia, en este trabajo se esbozan los hechos y tendencias que los investigadores pueden seguir a lo largo del marco de investigación publicado en las últimas seis décadas.

Language Development Opportunities in Curricular and Trade Books: A Content Analysis

ABSTRACTThis content analysis explored children's fictional storybooks and informational science books to determine their differences in high‐quality text features that support oral language (OL) development. We also explored the opportunities for OL development in curricular books compared to trade books. Using systematic coding procedures, we evaluated the genre, vocabulary, syntactic variety, supportive visuals and cultural sensitivity in books from three kindergarten and Grade 1 reading curricula (n = 521) as well as a sample of commercially‐available trade books (n = 48). Descriptive information was averaged to determine the percentage of high‐quality text features included in each book type and genre. Results indicated that informational science trade books offered more opportunities for rich language experiences than their curricular counterparts or any of the fictional books. Thus, there is reason to believe that informational science trade books with high‐quality text features may promote OL development and enhance the learning of young students.

Popular science books in Russian libraries: Status, problems and prospects

The authors discuss the findings of the study “Popular science books in Russian libraries”. The purpose of the study was to get data on the existence, quantity and relevancy of these publications in the libraries. The authors cite the results of the survey and provide their conclusions on the libraries’ managing their popular science collections and related user services.

The authors conclude that with the government’s focusing on science popularization among the population, the libraries act proactively, promote popular science literature and hold various events. However, further system organizational and methodological support is needed to build the unified system of straight interdepartmental control of popular science literature publishing and relevancy, and to improve libraries performance in this area. The authors specify several problems, in particular, lacking the common approach to publishing and using of popular science literature. The solutions lie in new approaches toward typological classification of this targeted publications and target user audience.

Jewish Responses to Copernican Thought: A Conceptual Replication of John Hedley Brooke’s Chapter on Scientific and Religious Reform

This article explores how replication might work in the study of history through the presentation of a test case. Specifically, chapter 3 of historian John Hedley Brooke’s seminal book Science and Religion: Some Historical Perspectives (1991) was chosen for this experiment by an interdisciplinary team, as it is a cornerstone study in the history of science and religion. This article details the “conceptual replication” undertaken, that is, a study in which the research protocol of the original study was modified while the main research question stayed the same. Brooke studied the responses of Protestants and Roman Catholics to Copernican thought to examine the widely held belief that those who had recently gone through the Protestant Reformation would be more open to the new astronomy than Catholics. Our conceptual replication investigates what historians have written about Jewish responses to Copernican thought and how these findings impact the question of the relationship between religious and scientific reform. The preliminary conclusion of this replication study is that historians of the Jewish responses to the new astronomy seem to support Brooke’s view that such responses were determined by more than just theological or denominational considerations, since other factors (e.g., social ones) played a more constitutive role.

Introduction: Replicating John Hedley Brooke’s Work on the History of Science and Religion

In this introduction, we first briefly describe the replication crisis as it occurred primarily in the biomedical and social sciences. We then argue for the possibility and desirability of replication in the humanities, particularly historiography. After that, we clarify why we opted for the replication of John Hedley Brooke’s 1991 book Science and Religion: Some Historical Perspectives, specifically its third chapter. We elucidate why we chose to do both a direct and a conceptual replication. Finally, we lay out the procedures we used to conduct the two replication studies and look ahead to what is to come in this thematic section.

Popular science book on the Ficus genus at Lambung Mangkurat University Campus: Its effectiveness in training students' critical thinking

There is no popular science book (PSB) on the genus Ficus, especially those that grow and develop specifically in the Lambung Mangkurat University Campus Area, Banjarmasin and Banjarbaru. Equipped with questions and invitations related to critical thinking, the PSB was compiled and then tested. The aim was to measure the effectiveness of the PSB to train students' critical thinking. The valid PSB was tested with a small group test involving 20 students and a field test involving 25 students. In three meetings, the first meeting was only as an exercise and was not assessed and meetings 2 and 3 were assessed by observers, students were asked to carry out practicums based on student worksheets and answer 10 questions. The values were analyzed so that from the small group test the expected effectiveness was obtained and from the field test the actual effectiveness was obtained. An increase in quantitative values occurred from meeting 2 to next meeting, both for expected effectiveness (from 69.10 to 84.60) and actual effectiveness (from 67.80 to 86.10). With an increase from quite good to very good in the two effectiveness, the PSB on the Ficus genus is effective in training students' critical thinking.Abstrak.

The Effects of a Science Vocabulary Intervention on Children’s Oral Language Development

This study investigated the effects of a shared reading and guided play vocabulary intervention on the science vocabulary acquisition of children who were at risk for oral language difficulties. Fifty-five children from five preschool programs participated in a 15-day science vocabulary intervention. Children randomly assigned to the treatment group (n = 29) received explicit science vocabulary instruction through shared readings of informational science books and follow-up scientific investigations. Children in the business-as-usual group (n = 26) received typical instruction from their classroom teacher. Vocabulary knowledge was measured at pre- and posttest using two standardized vocabulary assessments and one researcher-developed science vocabulary test. Results of the researcher-developed test showed that the treatment group significantly outperformed the BAU group on explicitly taught science vocabulary words (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found between the two groups on measures of general vocabulary knowledge. Limitations and practical implications of this study are discussed.
