“The king will be corrupt too!” Teaching thinking in bible studies

Bible studies are one of the foundations of Israeli education. Nevertheless, this content area has been neglected for many years and it is now bordering on crisis. Passive learning style and classroom discussions that lead to predetermined conclusions are prevalent in Bible classes in both elementary and high schools. In this article, we present the Teaching Thinking in Bible Studies Initiative that seeks to facilitate active Bible studies where students construct the meaning of the text autonomously. The initiative also encourages students to use core thinking strategies when reading the Bible. Our model proposes a Bible lesson directed at well-defined thinking goals that unfold throughout the lesson, and that includes explicit discussions of thinking processes and strategies. The first section of this article explores theories and research, identifying the characteristics and principles of teaching thinking, and reviews previous studies about Bible education. In the second, we present the initiative's pedagogical principles and the structure of a thinking-based Bible lesson. In the third section, we provide two examples of teaching thinking in Bible lessons focused on argumentation and asking questions. Finally, in the discussion, we examine how our initiative corresponds and adds to other initiatives and the teaching thinking literature.

A 5-Month Comparative Study of Japanese Input Speed by Keyboard of Elementary School Children Learning with 1:1 Devices for the First Time

This study involved a 5-month investigation of Japanese input skills by keyboard of elementary school children learning with 1:1 devices for the first time. Participants were from two classes of elementary schools. The Class X was 4th grade, and the Class Y was 6th grade. The input speed improved in 3rd, 4th, and 5th months compared to 2nd month after the start of utilization. The input speed while copying by looking at the text increased as the months went by. However, the results suggest that the speed of input while thinking by reading the text does not necessarily improve in the same way. We divided the survey results into two groups based on input speed by keyboard. In the upper group, 6th graders were higher than 4th graders, although there was no significant difference. In the lower group, 6th graders were significantly lower than 4th graders in 3rd, 4th, and 5th months. Therefore, it is necessary to pay particular attention to supporting the acquisition of Japanese input skills by keyboard, especially for children in the lower group.

Experimentation as a didactic strategy in science teaching with elementary school students

Science Teaching has been discussed in the educational field regarding its methodological strategies on how to improve experimental activities that arouse students' curiosity and, consequently, stimulate practical teaching that is different from traditional teaching. The objective of this study was to verify the student's knowledge about the concept of bacteria and to identify whether the experimentation brings scientific knowledge closer to the student's reality. The study subjects of this research were Science students from a 7th grade elementary school class at a municipal school located in Arapiraca - AL. For this, a questionnaire was applied, both to investigate the students' prior knowledge about bacteria and to analyze the knowledge acquired after experimentation in the classroom. This experimentation consisted in the visualization of bacteria from the human oral mucosa, with the aid of an optical microscope and took place shortly after the students answered the initial questions of the questionnaire. Initially, it was possible to observe that most students had some difficulty understanding the microbiological world, and the learning process was limited to their imagination. On the other hand, experimentation provided students with greater participation in the class and sharpened their curiosity to observe and discover the microscopic universe of bacteria.

PROJECTS IN COMPUTER LESSONS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL AS A MEANS OF FORMING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION COMPETENCES OF YOUNGER SCHOOL STUDENTS

The article deals with the formation of information and communication competence of junior high school students in computer science lessons in elementary school by means of project activities. The author emphasizes that the vocation of educational institutions in our time (including elementary school) consists in the formation of competences in the students of education, which today act as a guarantee of a successful professional and personal life of a person. Also, in the conditions of the rapid development of computer equipment and information technologies, the priority of education development is determined by the introduction of modern information and communication technologies in education, which ensure the improvement of the educational process, the accessibility and effectiveness of education, and the preparation of the young generation for life in the information society. And the most effective means of solving the tasks in our time are projects as an activity for solving various problems. Projects have certain features and significantly increase motivation to study, as they form a reasonable balance between academic knowledge and pragmatic skills. The use of project activities in the educational process makes it possible to comprehensively solve the tasks of education, upbringing and development of the school. The implementation of projects by younger schoolchildren makes it possible to form a personality that better adapts to changing conditions and circumstances, orients itself in various situations, successfully integrates into society, defines and implements its life strategy, is capable of self-organization, self-realization, and creative potential. An important role in solving project problems is played by information technologies, familiarization and assimilation of which takes place in computer science classes in elementary school. The use of information and communication technologies in project activities makes it possible to master new ways of working with alternative sources of knowledge, establish new contacts to expand the sphere of communication. The positive emotions that students receive in project activities using information and communication technologies strengthen their self-confidence, contribute to the development of their cognitive activity, and increase motivation to study school subjects. In this case, the implementation of projects using information and communication technologies should be an integral structural element of the educational process of primary school.

Community of Inquiry Framework in Basic Science Process During Synchronous Learning Modality

This study was grounded on the established Community of Inquiry (CoI) Framework to assess the behavior of students during the synchronous classes and its association with the Basic Science Process Skills (BSPS). The participants of the study were twenty-eight students from the seventh grade class of a public elementary school in the Philippines. The quantitative data were collected from the survey questionnaires while the pre-test and post-test were measured using a rating scale instrument facilitated via Google forms. Pearson-r was used to find the correlation among the variables while the T-test for the differences between variables. The results divided the CoI into three presences. The teaching presence, social presence, and cognitive presence with an acceptable mean, implies a good sense of community among the learners. Furthermore, few students’ basic science process skills were advanced and proficient, while most were still approaching proficiency and developing levels. The constructs of the CoI Framework were associated with the basic science process skills for classifying. Similarly, there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents in classifying and measuring. The results suggest that continuous exposure of the students to CoI during synchronous classes improves their ability to self-study during asynchronous classes.

Analisis Learning Obstacles Pada Materi Simetri Lipat dan Simetri Putar Untuk Kelas III Sekolah Dasar

This study aims to analyze the types and causes of learning obstacles experienced by elementary school class students on the material of folding symmetry and rotational symmetry. The approach used is a qualitative approach with descriptive research methods. Data collection techniques used in this study were tests, interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that there were three learning obstacle factors experienced by the third grade on the material of folding symmetry and rotational symmetry, namely 77% of students experienced ontogenical obstacles, 81% of students experienced didactical obstacles, and 100% of students experienced epistemological obstacles. The cause of students experiencing ontogenical obstacles is the lack of student interest in participating in learning, lack of readiness to accept learning, both psychological and material readiness. The learning presented by the teacher is too difficult and the students do not understand the prerequisite material. The causes of students experiencing didactical obstacie are due to the lack of teacher readiness in the learning process, limited material delivery, and the teacher does not provide practice questions. The cause of students experiencing epistemological obstacles is because the teacher does not give non-routine questions and there is a jump in the prerequisite material.

특수교육대상 유아 가족의 초등학교 통합학급 전이 경험에 관한 근거이론접근

The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of families of young children with special needs in the transition process into inclusive classrooms of elementary schools. As for this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with five primary caregivers of 1st grade children entered into an inclusive class of elementary schools. The collected data were analyzed according to the procedures of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding using the grounded theory approach suggested by Strauss and Corbin(1990). The findings are as follows. First, as a result of open coding, it was analyzed into 171 concepts, 45 subcategories, and 20 upper categories. Second, according to the paradigm model of axis coding, the central phenomena were the decision and preparation for the transfer of elementary school and the parent's request to transfer elementary school as a decision to move into and inclusive class of the elementary school. Third, as a result of selective coding, the core category was derived as ‘trusting and supporting the independence of children in school-age'. Then, a situational model was presented by synthesizing the research results. Finally, a follow-up study related to the successful preparation and implementation for transition to the inclusive class of elementary school was suggested and discussed.
