Factors influencing Chinese pre-service teachers’ behavioral intention and use behavior to adopt VR training system: based on the UTAUT2 model

With the advent of the intelligence era, the empowerment of technology in education has triggered changes in the forms and concepts of teaching and learning. Virtual reality (VR), as a potential educational technology, has been widely used in teaching, providing students with almost real learning experiences. In particular, practice-centered pre-service teacher education is in greater need of VR. This case study applied and improved the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) as a theoretical foundation to explore pre-service teachers’ intention and behavior of adopting the VR training system. A sample of 278 Chinese pre-service teachers was collected by implementing the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) via the Smart-PLS software. Study results reveal that pre-service teachers’ behavioral intention of adopting the VR training system is positively impacted by self-efficacy, effort expectancy, social influence, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, and hedonic motivation, ranked from highest to lowest. Their use behavior with the training system is positively impacted by behavioral intention, facilitating conditions, and habit. Accordingly, this study presents suggestions for higher education institutions and VR education system developers on how to use and design VR training systems in pre-service teacher education through model construction, model validation, and conclusion analysis.

Review of the literature of riverside education in the Amazon

The study is the result of Master's research, carried out with the Postgraduate Program in Curriculum and Management of Basic Schools (PPEB), of the Center for Transdisciplinary Studies in Basic Education (NEB) of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and aims to The objective is to carry out a literature review analysis on the theoretical production of riverside education. For the development of academic research, a qualitative approach was chosen, through bibliographic research to analyze scientific documents. The results indicate that education developed in the riverside territory is centered on the “urbanocentric” model, centered on the interests of capital. To counter this conception of teaching, entities and social groups have defended an education that respects the diversity of the field, encouraging the formulation of pedagogical projects that focus on recognizing the voices, stories and struggles of Amazonian populations.

Multimodality of the pedagogical phenomenon of personal developmental educational environment

Introduction. The work examines the personal development educational environment as a pedagogical phenomenon. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the multimodality property of the pedagogical phenomenon of a personal development educational environment and to determine the features of environmental design. The property of multimodality of the personal development educational environment is substantiated based on the relationship of the environment with the dialectics of personal-environmental relationships in education. Materials and Methods. The research is based on philosophical, cultural, sociological and other materials that affirm the environmental paradigm as relevant for self-developing complex systems. The personal development environment is considered as a unique process of student interaction in education, contributing to the formation of the individual’s personal experience. Research methods include methods of formal logic (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison and analogy, generalization and others); analysis of pedagogical concepts in the context of the system of guidelines (values) that determine pedagogical thinking. Results. With the development of personality, new ways of interacting with the environment are traced. Moreover, such methods are not directly determined by cause-and-effect relationships with it. The relevance of the developing educational environment and the individual at its various stages of development presupposes the procedural nature of the educational environment, its stages and internal heterogeneity, and a predisposition to transformation. These properties of the educational environment are embodied in its multimodality. Multimodality is a reflection of the dialectics of personality in education: various images and types of environment are determined by the nature of personal-environmental interactions and emerging relationships. Discussion and Conclusions. The design of a personal development environment is carried out through situations in which the components of the environment and the person interacting with it are presented. Personality development is accompanied by the generation of “filling environments.” “Filling environments” in their multiple manifestations are subject-conditioned, personality-generated areas of cognition and transformation of reality, which are the result of personal-environmental interaction. These areas are distinguished by their dynamism and ability to expand in knowledge and activity. The dynamics of personally determined “filling environments” are accompanied by the formation of the student’s personal properties, attitudes towards reality and himself.

Synergetic Approach Model for Improving Vocational Education: Characteristics, Guidelines and Applications

The main purpose of vocational education is to prepare students for their future professional development, including the acquisition of skills and competencies necessary for the labor market. The research aims to present a model that gains effectiveness of applying a synergetic approach for improving vocational education. The synergetic approach could be an innovative pedagogical concept in VET that creates an open educational environment utilizing the application of different approaches and teaching methods. Basically the model proposed combines the change in curricula, the use of learning resources for practical teaching and the change in the way of assessment as kernel guideines for achieving better student outcomes. The ensuing benefits of applying a synergetic approach in VET are related to the possibility that vocational education is required to meet the needs of the contemporary labor market, as well as it answers to the expectations of society to prepare young people for their successful employment in industry. Other benefits are related to the possibility of restructuring the learning content, using various teaching methods, formative assessment, acquisition of permanent knowledge, as well as acquisition of skills for critical evaluation of information and self-evaluation of the achieved results to increase motivation. In synergetic learning, the content of the learning materials differs significantly from those traditionally used in vocational training, and the teacher has the opportunity to adapt the learning content to the needs of the specific student.

Research on contemporary bamboo flute teaching concept

This paper analyzes the technical essentials of the scientific and international concept of contemporary bamboo flute performance, emphasizes the importance of musical style and language characteristics, and points out that each musical style carries a specific cultural background and emotional expression, and as a traditional Chinese musical instrument, its timbre changes depict the beauty and humanity of mountains and rivers in a rich and delicate way. A deep understanding of how to control the timbre through different playing techniques, such as adjusting the structure of the mouth, so that the flow between notes can be warm and delicate, or passionate and loud emotional colors. In the performance, the three elements of "confrontation, friction and pressure" are put forward, which is a concise summary of the mechanical principle of bamboo flute performance. As well as the coordinated pressure between various parts of the body, these seemingly simple physical effects are actually the key to improving the quality of the performance.

Using students’ critical aspects to deepen understanding of nuclear physics concepts

Identifying students’ understanding provides a pathway to develop focused teaching to facilitate conceptual understanding. This study aims to gain more insight into undergraduate students’ conceptual understanding of two nuclear physics concepts: nuclear binding energy (NBE) and nuclear force; as the literature has shown that students face difficulties in learning and understanding such concepts. Phenomenography was used to provide a special qualitative research approach to exploring students’ in-depth understanding which was not addressed in previous studies. Data was collected from purposively selected students (N = 30) through semi-structured interviews. Phenomenography was used to reveal the different ways in which students understand these concepts and serves as indicators of potential conceptual difficulties. Based on these, the relevant and irrelevant critical aspects discerned by students are identified using the variation theory of learning. These critical aspects illustrate how the students understand each concept. For instance, NBE is the energy that must be added to a nucleus to separate it into its constituents and relates to a relevant critical aspect. However, NBE is also the energy that binds nucleons and this relates to an irrelevant critical aspect. These critical aspects can provide crucial information that can assist physics instructors in developing focused teaching and learning strategies. Thus, the responses to the interview can be used as a basis for teaching and learning nuclear physics concepts.

Innovation and interculturalism are important features of future teachers' training in modern society

The processes of globalization, the formation of a post-industrial society, the European integration aspirations of Ukraine and the integration of the Ukrainian education system into the European educational space set the pedagogical science the task of bringing the traditional scientific apparatus into line with the system of pedagogical concepts generally accepted in Europe. The developing Ukrainian society needs highly educated people with appropriate professional and general competences who can independently make responsible decisions in a choice situation, predicting their possible consequences, capable of cooperation, distinguished by mobility, dynamism, constructiveness, a developed sense of responsibility for the fate of the country. Decisions and programs aimed at the implementation of scientific achievements, civilizational and cultural trends are implemented through the activities of subjects who perceive them. In this connection, the level of requirements of modern society for the activity and training of teachers in higher education institutions is increasing. Strengthening the integrative and cultural status of education dictates the need to train pedagogical staff capable of realizing its cultural focus. The needs of modern educational practice create the need for cross-cultural training of the future teacher of the Ukrainian language and literature, who not only acts as a mediator between the student and culture, but also contributes to the formation of the young generation's readiness to live and act in an open intercultural space of general civilization.

INTEGRATING THE NATURE OF SCIENCE IN TEACHING SCIENTIFIC THEORY IN HIGH SCHOOLS IN CAMEROON: CASE STUDY OF THE ATOMIC THEORY

Questions about the Nature of Science (NOS) have long preoccupied scientists, but recently, researchers in didactics, curriculum designers and science teachers have been concerned about how NOS can improve the teaching and learning of scientific concepts and theories. While some authors have argued that science students be taught about the Nature of Science explicitly, others suggest it should be taught implicitly when teaching scientific concepts. However, not much research has been done on how to implicitly integrate NOS principles in teaching scientific concepts in a competencies-based approach context. We believe that for learners to significantly improve their learning of scientific concepts, they need to understand the Nature of Science. Thus, we propose the tenets of NOS be taken into account in the design of teaching and learning activities in the experimental sciences. This reflective article proposes a didactic strategy to implicitly teach NOS when teaching scientific theories like the atomic theory using problem situations in the context of the competencies–based approach prescribed in Cameroon.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0720/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
