Adolescents’ evaluation of online scientific information in daily life contexts: when sourcing matters

ABSTRACT Sourcing is the ability to evaluate information by analysing source parameters such as author’s expertise on a given topic. Past research, mostly based on school-related materials and tasks, shows that adolescents do not pay attention to source parameters when evaluating online scientific information. However, recent research has suggested that such a ‘lack of sourcing’ may depend on the purpose for which information seeking takes place. The present study sought (a) to elicit the contexts in which adolescents seek information in their daily lives (included, but not limited to school-related assignments) and (b) to test the assumption that their attention to information sources depends on the purpose of their search. Focus groups were conducted with small groups of teenagers from contrasted socioeconomic backgrounds in two metropolitan areas (Rio de Janeiro and Paris). Five main contexts were identified, ranging from school assignments to monitoring topics of personal interest. Consistent with our assumption, references to sources were more frequent in personal compared with school information seeking contexts. The results suggest that researchers and science educators who wish to develop sourcing strategies among adolescents should use a variety of tasks, building on students’ experiences of sourcing in daily life.

Age and context effects in personality development: A multimethod perspective.

Observing most pronounced personality trait changes during young adulthood raises the question whether the traits are more stable per se after young adulthood or whether greater stability of daily life contexts also contributes to smaller trait changes in older adults. In this longitudinal multimethod study, we tested the competing explanations of trait stability and context stability by examining (a) whether age differences in Big Five trait changes are less pronounced when younger and older people experience similar context conditions, in this case, college life and (b) whether people of similar age change differently in different contexts. Furthermore, based on dual-process models of personality and because previous research has relied on self-ratings, we examined whether assumed personality changes also occur in implicit measures and other-ratings of traits. The sample of 241 adults consisted of older students (Mage = 67.5 years), older age- and education-matched nonstudents (Mage = 67.7 years), and young students (Mage = 21.1 years). We obtained self-ratings, other-ratings, and implicit measures of Big Five traits at four time points over 2 years. The results replicated increases in self-ratings of emotional stability, open-mindedness, extraversion, and conscientiousness in young first-year students and demonstrated distinct patterns of change among older students and older nonstudents. Changes in other-ratings and implicit measures only partly mirrored changes in self-ratings of Big Five traits. The study highlights the importance of different measures of traits to better understand personality development beyond self-ratings, and that in some groups, substantial trait changes are possible beyond young adulthood.

Islam Maritim dan Kultur Penjelajah Laut Masyarakat Nusantara

Studies on Southeast Asian Islam tend to analyze the culture of landed population rather than ocean and littoral-based dwellers. When in fact, the ocean landscape is more extensive and its culture has harbored many dramatic events in the course of human history. Through oceans and their surrounding places of cultural formation, Islam has grown and developed with local cultures in the mutual relation. This study attempts to identify manifestations of Islam among Southeast Asian seafarers Muslim of archipelago in their daily life and historical context. By investigating the experience of Eastern Indonesian seafarers such as the Bugis, Makasar, Mandar, Buton and Bajo people who have interacted with ocean life extensively, this study probes the process of Islamization and identifies the various ideas, practices, meanings and world-views of the Sea People in forging Islam and their culture. Based on the experience of Muslim agents who had a strong maritime ethos and focus on trade and proselytization in playing their social role, Islam and maritime culture have seemingly constituted two good relations to each other. The different reception and negotiation of Islam in maritime culture among Nusantara ethnic groups is interesting to analyze and help to conceptualize ‘Maritime Islam’ which has not been sufficiently studied by scholars to date. By combining secondary sources and field findings, this study explores the world-view of Nusantara Muslims and underscores the fact that Islam is not a single entity, but a plural and diverse phenomena.

Exploring Pre-service Teachers’ Cognitive Process in Solving Probability Problems Related to the Maritime Context of the Riau Archipelago

This research aims to investigate how pre-service teachers think through the process of solving the probability problem related to the daily life context in the maritime region of the Riau Archipelago. The research methods used descriptive qualitative approach. The research subject is a pre-service teacher who have previously taken the Introduction to Mathematical Statistics course in the Mathematics Education program at UMRAH. Testing and interviews used as data collection methods. Qualitative data analysis carried out in three stages, reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that there are four phases how the subject process the information to folmulate solution, formulate the travel routes through two different ports in Batam City, identifying an itinerary of possible events, calculate the number of samples space, and calculate the probability of event. The results show that the subjects were unable to accurately indentify the sample space based on context, which had an impact on the subjects’ failure to produce the right solution. The maritime context of the Riau Archipelago used was part of the subject’s prior knowledge. The knowledge helps them understand the information presented and construct an idea of how to formulate the itinerary.

"I feel I have been taken seriously" Women's experience of greater trochanteric pain syndrome treatment-A nested qualitative study.

Women experiencing greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) report high levels of pain and reduced quality of life. Exploring how they manage GTPS in a daily life context can provide important knowledge about individual coping strategies. Education, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and exercise have good group level evidence for efficacy in clinical trials and are increasingly used in routine care for patients with GTPS. Exploring women's experiences of such treatment may help understand the mechanisms underpinning these positive results and inform treatment strategies. We therefore aimed to explore how women with GTPS experience and manage their daily life, and their experience of the combined treatment of education, ESWT and exercises. This qualitative study was nested within a cohort study based in a hospital outpatient clinic and a physiotherapy clinic in Denmark assessing the combined treatment of education, ESWT and exercises. Data was collected from eleven women using in-person, individual, semi-structured interviews which were audio recorded. Transcripts were coded and analysed using an inductive thematic analysis approach. Five themes were identified: (1) Daily life was controlled and structured by pain; (2) The condition was acknowledged and taken seriously by treating professionals; (3) The participants´ experiences of the intervention-information is key; (4) Improved capability and autonomy in pain management and (5) The women´s perspectives on improving and expanding the intervention. Learning how to manage pain was experienced as the most important element of the program to the women to be able to minimize pain and manage daily life. Exploration of how women with greater trochanteric pain syndrome experienced and managed daily hip pain, and how they experienced and adapted to treatment are important novel findings that will inform clinical practice. This new knowledge may be used to inform an individualized patient education, treatment and evaluation strategy for women with the painful and debilitating condition of GTPS.

How to use experience-sampling technology to understand daily functioning: A practical guide for mental health professionals.

Satisfying daily life functioning is essential in mental healthcare. Standard assessments focus on symptoms and are designed to detect underlying vulnerabilities. However, they offer insufficient insight into patterns of contextual variability and resilience. Consequently, interventions are planned using incomplete information. The experience-sampling method (ESM) is a structured moment-to-moment diary assessing the individual's affect, thoughts, perception and behaviour in the daily life context. ESM helps to understand variation in mental states (e.g., anxiety or sleeping problems) as adaptational processes in relation to contextual challenges (functional analysis). Although ESM has been extensively studied across psychological disorders, the adoption by mental health professionals and their patients remains limited because the 'how to' is unclear. This paper presents a practical guide for ESM application in routine clinical care. It integrates empirical knowledge with expert experiences and provides real-world examples and recommendations for successful implementation. The guide comprises how to engage and motivate patients and how to customize assessments to the patient's needs. It also includes instructions to interpret results and create an atmosphere of shared decision-making. Experience-sampling technology has merits for patients with various mental health complaints and across healthcare settings, although the exact use and implementation may vary depending on the individual case.

Digital Rights, Institutionalised Youths, and Contexts of Inequalities

In this article, we aim to discuss digital rights and media literacy in the context of socio-digital inequalities experienced by institutionalised youths. In the case of these digitally disconnected youths in detention centres, there is evidence of multiple life-course disadvantages that will resonate throughout their future lives. They see their present and future lives deeply challenged by the fast pace of technological innovation and its social impacts while living in environments that we see as digital deserts. The data we bring to the discussion results from the Portuguese participatory project DiCi-Educa. We worked for three years with institutionalised youth on digital media production and critical thinking regarding digital citizenship, participation, and otherness issues. This article is organised around two research questions: What were youths’ practices regarding media and digital environments before institutionalisation? How did they discuss these digital environments and their digital rights during the project? Early findings point to (a) the importance of implementing critical methods to help them to think about technologies in diverse daily life contexts, (b) the need to provide venues for institutionalised youth to build critical thinking and communication skills, and (c) the necessity to widen their worldviews and promote positive behaviours.

Mapping TOEFL® Essentials™ Test Scores to the Canadian Language Benchmarks

In this research report, we describe a study to map the scores of the TOEFL® Essentials™ test to the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB). The TOEFL Essentials test is a four‐skills assessment of foundational English language skills and communication abilities in academic and general (daily life) contexts. At the time of writing this report, the test was the most recent addition to the TOEFL® Family of Assessments. TOEFL Essentials test scores are intended to provide academic programs and other users with reliable information regarding the test taker's ability to understand and use English. Mapping of scores to widely used language frameworks such as the CLB provides additional support for interpreting test results and for making inferences regarding test‐taker abilities. The score mapping process consisted of the following steps, as recommended in the literature: (a) establishing construct congruence between the test content and the performance descriptors of the CLB; (b) establishing recommended minimum test scores (cut scores) required to classify language learners into CLB levels, based on the judgments of local experts; and (c) providing evidence of procedural, internal, and external validation of the recommended cut scores.

Listening to music videos on YouTube. Digital consumption practices and the environmental impact of streaming

YouTube is currently the most widely used platform for music streaming. Users listen to music videos rather than watch them. This is environmentally suboptimal since video data require more energy than audio data to be hosted and transmitted. Why are consumers using a video platform to stream music? In this paper, we sketch a framework for analyzing digital practices as consumption practices and their transformation in the context of the ecological transition. We interviewed 29 online music consumers from varied backgrounds. Drawing on practice theory, we conceptualize online music use as a combination of sociotechnical configurations articulating listening devices, types of attention to music, and the social contexts of daily life. We analyze how different platforms, especially YouTube, are embedded in specific configurations. We first establish that configurations in which videos are actually watched are rare. Though users are aware of the carbon footprint of streaming, this representation does not inform their listening configurations. We describe three types of online music practices according to the role YouTube plays in, that correlate with music passion: YouTube can be framed as a free and open listening platform (especially to casual listeners), as an efficient soundtracking device in many contexts, as a useful complementary listening and music sharing device. The paper extends the literature on green consumption to digital consumption, analyzing relations to infrastructures in a regime of abundance, and contributes to the sociology of online music consumption, showing how platform choices are linked with music passion and embedded in social contexts.

Mathematical literacy in pre-service teacher-designed mathematics comics

Mathematical literacy is a key point of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) study, and indeed it becomes a concern for some studies in many countries. This study aims at investigating mathematics literacy presented in mathematics comics, and it focuses on mathematical contexts and contents presented in thirteen pre-service teacher-designed mathematics comics. The findings show that personal is the most favourable contents, while quantity and change and relationships are mostly contexts chosen by the pre-service teachers in their designed mathematics comics. The implication of this study is that teacher-designed mathematics comics still emphasis on a daily life context that closed to students’ life.

PO108 / #798 SENSORY AND EMOTIONAL MODULATION PREDICT STROKE SURVIVORS' QUALITY OF LIFE: E-POSTER VIEWING

Stroke may significantly impair the perception and modulation of sensory input1. Perceiving and modulating sensory input from the environment is critical for function, and is associated with emotional status and quality of life (QoL)2. While most studies focus on stroke impacts on specific sensory modalities, as measured in laboratory settings3,4, less is known about perception and modulation of sensory input in all sensory modalities in daily life context. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of sensory modulation difficulties in stroke survivors, based on their self reports and on their daily life scenarios, and to examine the relations between clients' sensory modulation, depression and QoL.

Veterans’ ambulatory care experience during COVID-19: veterans’ access to and satisfaction with primary care early in the pandemic

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread changes to healthcare, but few studies focus on ambulatory care during the early phase of the pandemic. We characterize veterans’ ambulatory care experience, specifically access and satisfaction, early in the pandemic.MethodsWe employed a semi-structured telephone interview to capture quantitative and qualitative data from patients scheduled with a primary care provider between March 1 – June 30, 2020. Forty veterans were randomly identified at a single large urban Veterans Health Administration (VHA) medical center. The interview guide utilized 56 closed and open-ended questions to characterize veterans’ perceptions of access to and satisfaction with their primary care experience at VHA and non-VHA primary care sources. We also explored the context of veterans' daily lives during the pandemic. We analyzed quantitative data using descriptive statistics and verbatim quotes using a matrix analysis.ResultsVeterans reported completing more appointments (mean 2.6 (SD 2.2)) than scheduled (mean 2.3 (SD 2.2)) mostly due to same-day or urgent visits, with a shift to telephone (mean 2.1 (SD 2.2)) and video (mean 1.5 (SD 0.6)). Among those who reported decreased access to care early in the pandemic (n = 27 (67%)), 15 (56%) cited administrative barriers (“The phone would hang up on me”) and 9 (33%) reported a lack of provider availability (“They are not reaching out like they used to”). While most veterans (n = 31 (78%)) were highly satisfied with their VHA care (mean score 8.6 (SD 2.0 on a 0–10 scale), 9 (23%) reported a decrease in satisfaction since the pandemic. The six (15%) veterans who utilized non-VHA providers during the period of interest reported, on average, higher satisfaction ratings (mean 9.5 (SD 1.2)).Many veterans reported psychosocial effects such as the worsening of mental health (n = 6 (15%)), anxiety concerning the virus (n = 12 (30%)), and social isolation (n = 8 (20%), “I stay inside and away from people”).ConclusionsWhile the number of encounters reported suggest adequate access and satisfaction, the comments regarding barriers to care suggest that enhanced approaches may be warranted to improve and sustain veteran perceptions of adequate access to and satisfaction with primary care during times of crisis.

PENGEMBANGAN LKPD BERBASIS KONTEKS PRIBADI PADA MATERI PELUANG KELAS VIII

There are many students that have difficulties in learning mathematics. One of them is dueto lack of meaningful learning in mathematics-classroom, so that students' learning motivation is low. Learning becomes meaningful if the concepts are presented as contexts or situations in which students "experience" themselves. The use of mathematics in everyday life is the main idea of ​​mathematical literacy. Context of daily life that is closest to students is personal context. One of the mathematical materials that is widely applied to solve problems in everyday life is the concept of probability. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the use of personal context as a mathematical activity in learning probability. Mathematics activities can be presented with the use of teaching materials, one of which is Student-Worksheet. Thus, in this study, Student-Worksheet on the concept probability is developed by employing personal context. This study is a research-design within ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation). This study produces a product in the form of Student-Worksheet based on personal context for Probability for 8th graders. The results of this study shows that the Student-Worksheet developed is valid and practical. In addition, based on the results of the implementation phase, it shows that the Student-Worksheet is effective in facilitating students’understanding on the concept of probability.

Mind-wandering during contemporary live music: An exploratory study

During a live concert, the mind can wander to unrelated thoughts such as personal concerns or past memories or to vivid images that are inspired by the music. This is an omnipresent phenomenon commonly referred to as mind-wandering. Psychological research on mind-wandering has explored its main characteristics, such as frequency, phenomenology, and impact on mood, both in the laboratory and in daily life contexts. This study aimed to harness the ecological setting of a live music concert to examine the occurrence and content of mind-wandering, as well as visual mental imagery as a mode through which mind-wandering occurs, and its relationship with the concertgoers’ moods before and after the music event. A self-report questionnaire ( n = 43) was used to collect data at two concerts of ambient music given as part of the CTM Festival. Findings suggest that mind-wandering occurs extensively in a concert environment. While mind-wandering episodes feature negative themes and moods—in the form of dark content of the visual mental imagery associated with the program’s musical tone—the concert environment still contributes to participants feeling more inspired afterward. Overall, this study points to the potential of live music contexts to stimulate a beneficial style of mind-wandering (i.e., one that leads to a positive impact on mood and imagery), and its findings are in line with those of previous research showing that live concerts lead to increased well-being of concertgoers. Implications for well-being and a call for more systematic research on this subject are discussed.

Penerapan Model PBL Berbasis PPT Berbantuan Soal Cerita untuk Meningkatkan Minat dan Hasil Belajar Siswa

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to increase students' interest and learning outcomes in mathematics at SMK Bhakti Praja Margasari by applying problem-based learning (PBL) techniques. This research uses problem-based learning about story questions that other researchers have rarely done before. This research was conducted by adapting the Kemmis and McTaggart model into four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and consideration. A total of 32 students of class XAKL 1 SMK Bhakti Praja Margasai were used as the subjects of this study. Three tools were used to collect data: a questionnaire, an observation sheet, and a test. Learning outcomes data were analyzed quantitatively, while interest and practice data were analyzed qualitatively. The analysis showed that the students' interest in mathematics and their learning outcomes increased from the initial state. At the end of the second cycle, the PBL learning method met the objectives/ criteria for success. This means that 75% of students have reached the KKM. Students' interest in learning also meets the goals/criteria for indicators of success. This means that 78.13% of students are interested in learning in the "very high" category and 18.75% of students are interested in learning in the "high" category. Some conclusions from this CAR are: First, after a two-action cycle, the PBL method was proven to increase interest in learning and learning outcomes for students of class X AKLI 1 SMK Bhakti Praja Margasari. Second, the growth of student interest in learning is appreciated by the active role of students through the use of PBL. Third, presenting mathematical problems through narrative questions that are close to the context of students' daily lives, thus facilitating understanding of abstract mathematical concepts and increasing not only student interest but also learning outcomes. Fourth, the success of PBL implementation is highly dependent on the consistency of the teacher acting as a facilitator. The results of this study provide empirical evidence about the importance of planning, monitoring, and improving CAR-based learning.

Learning from the Tangram to Solve Mini Visual Tasks

Current pre-training methods in computer vision focus on natural images in the daily-life context. However, abstract diagrams such as icons and symbols are common and important in the real world. We are inspired by Tangram, a game that requires replicating an abstract pattern from seven dissected shapes. By recording human experience in solving tangram puzzles, we present the Tangram dataset and show that a pre-trained neural model on the Tangram helps solve some mini visual tasks based on low-resolution vision. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method generates intelligent solutions for aesthetic tasks such as folding clothes and evaluating room layouts. The pre-trained feature extractor can facilitate the convergence of few-shot learning tasks on human handwriting and improve the accuracy in identifying icons by their contours. The Tangram dataset is available at https://github.com/yizhouzhao/Tangram.

Distinguishing semantic control and phonological control and their role in aphasic deficits: A task switching investigation

People use cognitive control across many contexts in daily life, yet it remains unclear how cognitive control is used in contexts involving language. Distinguishing language-specific cognitive control components may be critical to understanding aphasia, which can co-occur with cognitive control deficits. For example, deficits in control of semantic representations (i.e., semantic control), are thought to contribute to semantic deficits in aphasia. Conversely, little is known about control of phonological representations (i.e., phonological control) in aphasia. We developed a switching task to investigate semantic and phonological control in 32 left hemisphere stroke survivors with aphasia and 37 matched controls. We found that phonological and semantic control were related, but dissociate in the presence of switching demands. People with aphasia exhibited group-wise impairment at phonological control, although individual impairments were subtle except in one case. Several individuals with aphasia exhibited frank semantic control impairments, and these individuals had relative deficits on other semantic tasks. The present findings distinguish semantic control from phonological control, and confirm that semantic control impairments contribute to semantic deficits in aphasia.
