The Art of Not Stopping: Grit Among the Breadwinner Senior Citizens in Pilar, Bataan

Approximately fifty percent of elderly individuals in the Philippines are currently employed. A significant number of them are exposed to health hazards and have a low socioeconomic level despite having worked for a considerable number of years. The current study aims to provide a detailed account and analysis of the core essence of the experience of breadwinner senior citizens as they strive to maintain their grit for numerous years. The findings revealed four themes, or 4K of grit, namely: keep on, keep at, keep up, and keep growing. Each theme generated subthemes that further elaborated on the experiences of breadwinner senior citizens. Keep on is divided into five subthemes: familial’s sake, financial autonomy, fortitude in the past, and founding leisure. Keep at is divided into two themes, namely the personification of aging and perceived hardships. Meanwhile, the keep-up had four subthemes: guarding the mind, being God-centered, getting support, and having greater focus in the body. Lastly, the keep growing is composed of two themes the steadfastness in work and senescence’s’ joy. While the participants have shown resilience in the face of several challenges, it is strongly recommended that local government agencies improve and closely supervise the current program and activities aimed at addressing the financial difficulties as well as the physical and mental difficulties of the breadwinner senior citizens. More so, the said research will add additional fund of knowledge in the field of gerontology and psychology in the Philippines.

高师院校师范生师德培育的价值诉求、现实困境及优化路径

The cultivation of teacher ethics is the core essence of the cultivation of normal college students. It has important practical value in deeply implementing the fundamental task of moral education, meeting the construction of the new era teacher team, and cultivating teachers with noble moral character. Currently, the process of cultivating teacher ethics among normal university students is facing multiple challenges, including the impact of multicultural values, the binary opposition between heteronomy and self-discipline, the separation of knowledge and action in teacher ethics education, and the solidification of teacher ethics evaluation models. To overcome these difficulties, we need to guide the direction of cultivating teacher ethics for normal students by the socialist core values, to take the construction of teacher ethics as the main line and internalizing the quality of teacher ethics among normal students, to take the growth of teacher ethics as the cultivation path to enhance the level of teacher ethics among teacher trainees and to use diversified teacher ethics evaluation as a benchmark to promote the cultivation of teacher ethics among normal students.

Tragedy and Tender Beauty: Exploring the Tradition of Kuqing in the Chinese Film School

Abstract Films such as An Orphan Rescues His Grandpa (Guer Jiuzuji, 1923), New Women (Xin Nüxing, 1935), Hibiscus Town (Furong Zhen, 1987), Nuan (Nuan, 2003), and Sister (Wode Jiejie, 2021) demonstrate that, over a century of development, Chinese cinema has crafted a distinctive and significant lineage of kuqingxi (苦情戏, tragic drama with Chinese characteristics). This lineage not only preserves but consistently maintains the kuqing (苦情, a literary and artistic style that signifies tragedy in China) narrative tradition intrinsic to Chinese storytelling, culminating in a unique national aesthetic and cultural experience. In accordance with the core essence of “school,” these family-themed works, which preserve the tradition of kuqing, have emerged as a deliberate and stable genre in Chinese Film School. The films, and their public reception, offer a reflection of China’s national character, emotional structure, and refined aesthetic preferences. It is the central theme of tenderness found within adversity, presented in these films, that conveys the values and spirit of contemporary China.

ENHANCING FLIPPED LEARNING: A COMPREHENSIVE METHODOLOGY FOR INTERGRATING ASYNCHRONOUS AND SYNCHRONOUS INTERACTION

This article delves into effective flipped learning strategies for the training of future foreign language teachers, with a focus on developing their professionally oriented communicative competence. A methodological approach integrating asynchronous and synchronous interactions is proposed, highlighting the importance of independent learning activities, which are complemented by synchronous support to enhance engagement. This approach, underpinned by scientific literature, suggests that the evolution of asynchronous learning should strengthen the flipped learning methodology. It projects asynchronous -synchronous interaction as a special type of asynchronous mode. In this mode, the independent (asynchronous) component is primary, and the collaborative (synchronous) component is secondary. This structure emphasizes students’ independent learning activities. Synchronous interactions provide additional support in cooperation. The article advocates for a balanced use of both delayed (asynchronous) and quasi-instant (synchronous) communication, the latter being quicker than traditional delayed methods but not as immediate as real-time interactions.The study maintains that integrating and incorporating synchronous aspects into asynchronous learning activities enhances the core essence of flipped learning. It outlines four specific principles for the effective application of asynchronous-synchronous techniques. They are: consistent integration, making the best use of technology tools, feedback loop, combining communication methods. Drawing on previous research and the author’s personal teaching experience at the Faculty of Philology of Educational Technologies, Kyiv National Linguistic University, Ukraine, the impact of these methods on the education of students studying at the second (master’s) level has been examined. Survey results have indicated a significant positive effect (70% to 90%) of blended learning and the flipped learning model on students’ professional growth and overall satisfaction with their education. Additionally, the article presents examples of exercises (preparatory stage of flipped learning) designed to develop English-language professionally oriented speech competence in master’s students, along with online resources for their implementation in a blended learning format.

Toward A Fuller Definition for the Science of Nursing Education Through Hermeneutical Analysis.

Authors writing about the science of nursing education have tended to focus extensionally, describing and analyzing the significance and benefits of nurse educators' unique, individual teaching endeavors, rather than clarifying their perceptions of the intensional core essence of the science itself. As a result, communal thinking about the science of nursing education and its implications for student learning are constrained. Methods: Hermeneutical analysis of published reports and narratives supported identification of a provisional, intensionally oriented definition of the science guiding nurse educators' disciplinary practice. The emerging definition was "study of nurse educators' mindful implementation of effective and meaningful learning opportunities to enculturate graduates for practice excellence guided by nursing's disciplinary knowledge." A working, intensional definition of the science of nursing education emphasizes qualities central to nurse educators' practice, ultimately contributing to preparing graduates for professional nursing practice.

On the cognitive nature of verb transitivity in English

The traditional view of the transitivity of a verb as its ability to have a direct complement in the accusative case does not reflect the core essence of this verb characteristic. Therefore, the existing dichotomy of verbs into transitive and non-transitive verbs should be revised with the introduction of additional types of transitivity. The traditional classification of complements into direct, indirect and prepositional also requires a critical reconsideration due to its inconsistency. The study of the properties of English verbs using the methods of cognitive linguistics and through the prism of event theory suggests that only monovalent predicates of action or process are truly non-transitive. All other verbs should be considered transitive. The transitivity of a verb is directly related to the notion of profiling. The profile boundaries of a transitive verb include all participants in the force-dynamic chain, from the agent to the object, which undergoes a complete change of state. A non-transitive verb profiles only the agent as the source of force. Both transitive and non-transitive verbs can display variation of their transitivity characteristics as a result of their meaning evolution, associated with shifting the boundaries of the verb’s profile to represent a new kind of event.

The Intersection of Bernard Lonergan’s Critical Realism, the Common Good, and Artificial Intelligence in Modern Religious Practices

Artificial intelligence (AI) profoundly influences a number of societal structures today, including religious dynamics. Using Bernard Lonergan’s critical realism as a lens, this article investigates the intersections of AI and religious traditions in their shared pursuit of the common good. Beginning with Lonergan’s principle that humans construct their understanding through cognitive processes, we examine how AI-mediated realities align with or challenge traditional religious tenets. By delving into specific cases, we spotlight AI’s role in reshaping religious symbols, rituals, and even creating novel spiritual meanings. Using Lonergan’s insights on the balance between subjectivity and objectivity, I analyze AI’s potential to both create new sacred spaces and challenge religious orthodoxy. The crux of the discussion centers on the negotiation between religious values and technological innovation, assessing how AI can bolster religious life while maintaining its core essence. Ultimately, this article underscores the importance of the common good in the age of AI-driven religious evolution.

Historic conservation in Tibetan region amidst rapid urbanization: a case study of Dukezong Old Town

ABSTRACTRapid economic growth in China has resulted in the revitalization of historic Chinese ethnic towns, impacting their spatial and renowned integrity. This study focuses on Dukezong Old Town (Domkhar Rdzong), a traditional Tibetan settlement in the southernmost Tibetan cultural region, to examine its historical revolutions under modern urban renewal. The study begins by highlighting the historic significance of the “Rdzong” to establish the core essence of Dukezong as a Tibetan traditional Rdzong-Shan settlement. Furthermore, spatial-dynamic analysis was conducted to demonstrate how the urban construction process has contributed to the diminishing presence of “Rdzong.” The findings indicate that urban renewal efforts in Dukezong have accelerated the deterioration of its historic urban form and diminished its original residential function. Drawing from Pre-existing Theory, strategies are proposed that involve preserving Rdzong’s traditional space without physical objects and sustaining Rdzong’s residential function to reinvigorate Dukezong’s distinctive cultural heritage. This study emphasizes the significance of recognizing a region’s historic significance, functions, and urban morphology in revitalizing historic towns inhabited by ethnic minorities. Moreover, it offers valuable insights into the relationship between urban preservation and renewal in other historic towns.
