Discussion and Suggestions on the Use of Terminologies in the Learning Task Group of “Literature Reading and Writing” in the General High School Curriculum

ENSINO MÉDIO: CRIANDO UM PROJETO MORAL PARA GERENCIAR O FUTURO DOS JOVENS

Abstract In the present article I focus on discourses that contribute to making the syntagma life project meaningful to regulate the future of young people through moral education. In a theoretical- discursive and deconstructionist approach, based mainly on the notions of sedimentation and translation/supplementation, I argue that the discourse of the life project tries to establish the impossible social harmony, associated with neoliberal rationality articulated with ultraconservative demands. I argue that these records point to an impossible society without antagonisms and suffering in a future to be programmed. I conclude by defending the importance of leaving the future to the future-to-come and questioning the normativity of the high school curriculum proposal through the life project curriculum component.

인류세에서의 장소성과 생태교육 : 제천간디학교를 중심으로

Jecheon Gandhi School, which opened in 1997, is the only alternative school in Korea with an integrated middle and high-school curriculum. This school has been providing ecological education under the democratic school philosophy of growing into happy and mature citizens. Ecological toilets, farming, operating a curriculum based on love and spontaneity, and active social participation form a model of a future school that coexists with the local community by prioritizing the will of students. Based on Timothy Morton's concept of a place with potential, we can understand the Jecheon Gandhi School from cultural geography and aesthetic aspects. We aimed to create a village community that goes against civilization, and educational activities both inside and outside the school that resonated with the ideology of ecological art. The Jecheon Gandhi School can beused as an excellent school model for the future to overcome climate crises and regional extinction.

Construction of an E-Module for Online Learning of Natural Science Using an Ethnoscientific Approach

Purpose: The aim of this research was to create an online scientific learning module at SMP Kota Padang using an ethnoscience method. Analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation are the five phases of the ADDIE development paradigm, which is used in this research and development (R&D) project. Students from SMP Kota Padang's class VII served as the study's subjects. Theoritical Framework: The idea behind ethnoscience learning is to include culture into the curriculum of elementary, middle, and high schools by developing learning experiences and environments that support it. Methodology: This study was conducted in Padang City Middle School. Interviews, tests to gauge the media's effectiveness, questionnaires to assess the media's suitability, and documentation were the methods utilized in this study to collect data. Result and discussion: E-module creation that was web-based has undergone testing of viability and efficacy. Several phases of the tryout implementation were completed, including individual trials, small group trials, field testing with large groups, and review with media and material specialists. An extremely valid category with an average of 94% is the outcome of expert validation. Students' assessments of the practicality test, however, place it in the very practical category, averaging 89%, 90%, and 88% across three schools. Next, it was discovered that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the three schools regarding the usage of web-based E-Modules in scientific learning with an ethnoscience approach. Conclusion: As a result, the web-based E-Module for science instruction using an ethnoscience method falls into the legitimate, useful, and efficient category.

Evaluation of a longitudinal digital citizen science initiative to understand the impact of culture on Indigenous youth mental health: Findings from a quasi-experimental qualitative study.

Indigenous youth in settler nations are susceptible to poor mental health due to complex intergenerational systemic inequities. Research has shown benefits of cultural connectedness for improving mental health; however, there are few studies which have evaluated the impact of culturally relevant mental health interventions, particularly among Indigenous youth. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a culturally-responsive, land-based, active living initiative on the mental health of Indigenous youth. This quasi-experimental qualitative study is part of Smart Indigenous Youth (SIY), a mixed-methods 5-year longitudinal digital citizen science initiative. SIY embeds culturally responsive, land-based active living programs into the curricula of high schools in rural Indigenous communities in the western Canadian province of Saskatchewan. In year-1 (Winter 2019), 76 Indigenous youth citizen scientists (13-18 years) from 2 schools participated in the study. At the beginning of the term, each school initiated separate 4-month land-based active living programs specific to their culture, community, geography, and language (Cree and Saulteaux). Before and after the term, focus groups were conducted with the 2 Youth Citizen Scientist Councils, which included students from both participating schools. This study includes data from focus groups of one participating school, with 11 youth citizen scientists (5 boys, 6 girls). Focus group data were transcribed and analyzed by two independent reviewers using Nvivo to identify themes and subthemes. Both reviewers discussed their thematic analysis to reach consensus about final findings. Baseline focus group analyses (before land-based programming) revealed themes demonstrating the importance of Indigenous culture, identity, history, and language. Youth emphasized the impact of loss of language and culture, the importance of being a helper, and the necessity of intergenerational knowledge transfer. Follow-up focus group analyses (post land-based programming) indicated that cultural school programming led to students expressing positive mental health benefits, increased interest in ceremonies, increased participation in physical activity, and greater knowledge of culture, identity, and ceremonial protocol. This novel qualitative quasi-experimental study offers a window into the future of upstream interventions in partnership with Indigenous communities, where Indigenous youth can be engaged in real-time via their digital devices, while participating in culturally-sensitive, land-based school programming that promotes culture, identity, and mental health.

In addition, teachers need to upgrade their competence so that they can continue to learn to implement differentiation learning that is fun and pro-student.

On the Innovation Strategy of Higher Vocational Physical Education Under the Guidance of Vocational Education

For higher vocational colleges, because it is the place to cultivate "professional" talents, vocational education guidance is inevitable in teaching activities, so as to improve students' Vocational Competitiveness and make students' ability development more in line with work needs. But for the physical education work, due to the lack of attention of higher vocational colleges, there are many deficiencies in the process of carrying out educational activities. The most important thing is that there is no "localization" treatment in higher vocational colleges, blindly learning from the physical education curriculum of ordinary high school, without highlighting the guidance of vocational education, which can not provide effective help for students' career development. In this article, we will focus on the reform of physical education in Higher Vocational Colleges under the guidance of vocational education, and put forward some feasible optimization and innovation strategies on the basis of fully considering the professional needs and the development of students.

Integrating Machine Learning and Color Chemistry: Developing a High-School Curriculum toward Real-World Problem-Solving

A Simple Application of a Trigonometric Inequality to the Relativistic Doppler Effect

In recent years, the special theory of relativity (SR) has been included in high school curricula in almost all countries. In addition to the classic demonstrations of the relativity of time and lengths, another interesting relativistic phenomenon that is shown, is the transverse Doppler effect. Obviously it is not possible to rigorously prove, at the high school level, the final relation but, from it, we have analyzed some physical consequences using trigonometry. In this paper, which has a didactic aim, we summarize one of our lessons held during some of the in-depth lectures on relativity that we often organize for high school students in our area.

Compositional skills error analysis: The case of the university environmental engineering first-year students

<span lang="EN-US">The compositional skills are analyzed to determine whether college students have improved their writing ability after the two years additional in the senior high school curriculum. This study examines the errors committed by first-year engineering students. There were 90 student respondents written outputs collected and subjected to Grammarly software. The researchers analyzed the data using the Scheffe test, comparing the difference between clarity, engagement, and delivery. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to test whether there is a significant difference among other variables. Findings revealed that clarity is the most common error committed by the student-respondents. The errors committed between male and female respondents do not show a difference. The K-12 graduates’ compositional errors do not differ significantly from that in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) passers or the old basic education curriculum graduates. It is in delivery that students vary. This finding implies that college students' compositional skills still need strengthening. Instructors are encouraged to provide comprehensive activities and writing exercises to both genders, regardless of their curriculum. It is recommended that University language instructors identify specific interventions to help students struggling with writing. Therefore, providing enough written opportunities and practices is vital to make college students enhance their compositional skills.</span>

여자고등학생의 심폐소생술 관련 지식수준 및 교육실태 조사

The knowledge level and educational experience of high school students on CPR, which can contribute to saving more lives and increasing the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients by applying CPR when students face cardiac arrest patients, was grasped. This study was attempted to provide basic data for policy establishment that includes the contents of CPR in the high school curriculum in the future.
 Convenience sampling was conducted on 129 female high school students attending Y girls' high school located in G region and C city, and the survey was conducted from November 1 to November 30, 2021. A structured questionnaire consisting of 3 questions for general characteristics, 1 question for subjective awareness of CPR knowledge, 8 questions related to CPR knowledge, and 16 questions related to grasping CPR educational experience was used. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA analysis were applied to the final 120 responses using SPSS WIN 25.0.
 The female high school students scored an average of 5.57 points out of 8 points, and their knowledge of basic life support was moderate. Looking at the results of knowledge about CPR by item, the minimum correct answer rate was higher than 60.0% for 7 out of 8 items, but the breathing check method was the lowest at 9.2%. 96.7% of the students received training on CPR. As for the place where they were educated, school was 95.7%, student group activities (clubs) 7.8%, and fire station 3.4%. The total number of times of training was 3 times or more, 47.4%, 1 time, 34.5%, and the total training time was 3 hours or more, 48.2%. If education is opened in the future, schools (46.7%), Korea Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Association (27.5%), and fire stations (13.3%) were the preferred educational institutions. The difference in CPR knowledge according to the subject's grade, religion, and the presence or absence of heart disease among family or friends was not statistically significant.
 When integrating the results of this study and previous studies, it was confirmed that the students' ability to use CPR and the use of an automatic defibrillator was at a low level, although CPR education was being conducted in schools due to the revision of the School Health Act in 2014, and countermeasures are needed. In particular, it is necessary to prepare improvement methods such as strengthening practical education. It is necessary to clarify first aid education regulations such as CPR for students, expand CPR practice including AED practice, expand supply of AED and CPR manikin for practice, and strengthen education capacity of health teachers. And continuous repetitive education should be conducted according to the CPR guidelines that are revised every 5 years.

Development of Math Modules Based on Active Learning Type the Power of Two in the Junior High School Curriculum

Modules in learning emphasize more on the activeness and activity of students. This study aims to develop a mathematics module based on an Active Learning (AL) strategy with the Active Learning (AL) type, namely The Power of Two (PT). This study uses an RD research design with the ADDIE model, which consists of 5 stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. This study involved three validators in assessing the validity of the module and 12 small group students to test student responses to the module, which was used to determine the practicality of the module. Based on the research results, it is known that the module developed has very valid criteria, with a percentage of 91.48% by two expert lecturers and a mathematics teacher. The results of student response tests used to assess the practicality of the developed module have very practical criteria, with a percentage of 90.22% by students. This shows that the mathematics module developed based on an Active Learning (AL) strategy with The Power of Two (PT) type is very valid and very practical.

Investigating Gender Differences in Using Geogebra Software at the Senior High School Level

The study aimed to investigate the effects of GeoGebra software on students’ performance based on gender in mensuration at the Senior High School Level. Research hypothesis was used to conduct the study. Quasi-experimental (pretest-posttest design) was used in this quantitative study. Tests were used to collect data for the study and the collected data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). It was therefore concluded that both genders are of the same academic abilities in geometry. It was also revealed that performances of students based on gender were not significantly different, which showed that both genders performed equally. Also, GeoGebra as a teaching and learning tool enhanced students' performance in mathematics. It was therefore recommended that the use of GeoGebra should be made to part of the Senior High School Curriculum and teachers should be sensitized about the essence of the use of technological tools in teaching mathematics.

“Not For An Age, But For All Time:” Autobiography and a Re-origin of Shakespeare Studies in Canada

Despite independence as a country, Canada belongs to the Commonwealth and has deep colonial roots and the British educational system was key in creating Canadian curricula. Given the centrality of Shakespeare’s work in the British literary canon, it follows that it would also figure heavily in the academic requirements for Canadian students. At the dawn of the Confederation (1867), the high school curriculum used Shakespeare to emphasize a “humanist” approach to English literature using the traditional teaching methods of reading, rhetoric, and recitation. Presently, Shakespeare continues to be the only author in the high school curriculum to whom an independent area of study is dedicated. The origin of Shakespeare in Canada through curriculum and instruction is, thus, a result from the canonic tradition imported from Britain.
 This traditional model no longer fits the imperative of multiculturalism, as reflected in the Canadian Constitution Act (1982). Yet, with the appropriate methodology Shakespeare’s texts can be a vehicle for multiculturalism, social justice, and inclusivity. In light of recent disillusionments concerning the relevance of Shakespearean texts in high school curricula, this paper proposes an alternative pedagogical approach that envisages changing this paradigm and fostering a re-origin of Shakespeare studies in Canada through an intentional pedagogical process grounded in individual experience.
 Scholarship has highlighted the importance of autobiographies in the learning process and curriculum theorists William Pinar and Madeleine Grumet designed a framework that prioritizes individual experience. Our approach to teaching Shakespeare’s works aligns with the four steps of their currere method, presented as: (1) contemplative, (2) translational, (3) experiential, and (4) reconceptual, fostering an opportunity for self-transformation through trans-historical social themes present in the text.
 The central argument is that Shakespeare’s text can undergo a re-origin when lived, given its initial conception as embodied, enacted narrative in the early modern period. In this method, students immerse themselves in Shakespeare’s text through films and stage productions and then manifest their interpretations by embodying the literature based on their autobiographical narratives. To undergo a re-origin in the Canadian secondary curriculum, current pedagogical approaches to teaching Shakespeare require a paradigm shift.

Automatic Thread Insertion Kit Sewing (ATIKs) Device for Vocational Fashion Design Student: Practical Sewing Application

The incorporation of technology is a consistent aspect of education, which is widely advanced through teaching and learning (T&L) in the industrial revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) education technology.

The development for this product consists of the main components standard needle size, automatic thread, Arduino UNO R3, stepper motor, coil, and Arduino coding to control the movement. In addition, this product is relatively portable with its dimensions of 7 x 7 x 10 cm. A qualitative research method was applied using a list of interview protocols validated by five professional experts in the field. Based on the open-ended questions, the experts indicated that this product facilitates the criteria of the T&L process, improves understanding of the use of the thread needle, and increases student confidence in the sewing process. In the future, this kit could be integrated into an automated control system. This research development can help develop teaching tools that further increase student safety and improve student skills and cleanliness in handling sewing tools during hands-on work.

The Use of Historical Sites in The City of Palu as Objects of Historical Research and Learning Based on Digital History

Utilizing historical sites for object research and teaching history through digital history are crucial since historical sites are one of the primary sources of historical information and may describe events in more detail for the benefit of participant education. As the capital of Central Sulawesi Province, Palu City offers a number of historical sites that can be used as research subjects. Studying history in Palu offers a good balance between the site's content and what is taught in high school curricula. One of the guiding principles of implementation is the use of historical sites as sources for learning and objects for study in a supportive curriculum. That issue became the rationale for why Palu's historical sites are important for research and how much of them may be used as sources. Look it over. Examine This goal is to understand the significance of Palu's historical landmarks for object learning contexts and utilization tactics in learning-based digital history. Approach investigation This method is descriptive and qualitative. Fieldwork observation, surveys, interviews, and excavations were used to gather data, along with a variety of documents from pertinent publications and journals. Outer aim from the analysis of results This is how a number of locations' legacies might be used for object study and historical education among participants in material change and sustainability. Learning digital history through an internal site use approach can be accomplished in four steps: 1) introduction, 2) observation, 3) discussion, and 4) findings. Similar to level readiness technology (TKT), historical sites are anticipated to be used as study objects and for teaching history based on digital media. The purpose of this is to introduce participants to the site while educating them, and to disseminate information to the public through digital media. The public will find Palu City's historical landmarks more and more fascinating, making it possible for them to become a destination for integrated historical tours.
