Exploring Institutionalized Oppression in The Book of Not (2006)

ABSTRACT Tsitsi Dangarembga’s exploration of education takes on distinct forms in her literary works. The Book of Not (2006) focuses on traditional education encompassing classes, assessments and discipline. This article presents an analysis of Dangarembga’s second literary work, interrogating the tension between the promises of educational liberation and the entrapment of black female students within the confines of Young Ladies’ College of the Sacred Heart, an educational institution that replicates colonial practices. The concept of education is read within the framework of Paulo Freire’s critique of the banking model, where practices of colonial education are shown to manifest neuroses in colonial subjects, exposing the hypocrisies and ironies within the colonial education model. Through this lens, we observe the profound alienation Tambudzai (Tambu) experiences with liberatory education. To succeed within the system, Tambu is pressured to abandon her cultural identity under the misguided belief that doing so will lead to acceptance. This forced renunciation causes psychological breakdowns, highlighting how the school exhibits institutional traits akin to asylums. Instead of fostering independence and collective thought, the school’s true aim is to enforce dependence by compelling students to discard themselves.

The Application of Hybrid Instruction Mode in the Course of Geographic Information System Principles

Abstract. Geographic Information System Principles is one of the professional core courses for the students majoring in Geographic Information Science. It plays an important role in providing a theoretical foundation and technical support for subsequent professional courses. The course is offered in the second semester of the freshman year and is the first professional core course for students. There are four key issues that need to be addressed. Firstly, the main content of this course is extensive and the difficulty level is relatively high. Secondly,theory and software operation are disconnected in traditional classes. Thirdly, the traditional teaching mode can not well stimulate students' interest. Fourthly, the traditional teaching and learning evaluation method focuses on results but not process. Hence, we rely on the online teaching platform of our school to carry out Hybrid Instruction Mode, hoping to improve students' learning effect and improve teaching quality. Based on the outcome-based education (OBE) concept, we refine the teaching objectives, and subsequently enhance the teaching materials. Then, we have built a blended teaching mode. The whole teaching process is divided into four parts including "course guidance", "pre-class self-study", "in-class practice", and "post-class research". Online and offline teaching are connected with various activities. Discussions, exercises, reflections, assessments, critical thinking, paper reading and homework are online activities. Guidance, analysis and practice are offline activities. During the teaching process, we also reformed teaching method and carried out ecological civilization and scientific spirit education.We optimized the assessment method using the formative evaluation. The course objectives are almost achieved.

Development of a New Media Marketing and Planning Course Based on Project-Based Learning combined with Outcome-Based Education Concept to enhance Problem-Solving Ability in Advertising at Xi'an University

Background and aim: At present, the phenomenon of insufficient problem-solving ability of college students in China is more prominent. The project-based learning（PBL) combined with the outcome-based education (OBE) concept provides new ideas and methods for addressing the problem of insufficient problem-solving ability among college students. The PBL combined with OBE teaching offers effective ways and means to enhance problem-solving ability. Outcome-based education concept (OBE) emphasizes student learning outcomes and focuses on the ability and qualities students acquire during the learning process. While project-based learning (PBL) enables students to participate in solving actual projects, clarifying their learning goals and outcomes, and enhancing their learning motivation and enthusiasm. This teaching model emphasizes practical ability. It focuses on cultivating students' practical ability by having them apply learned knowledge and ability in actual projects, thus improving their problem-solving and practical operation ability, which aligns with the requirements for practical ability in the advertising field. It promotes cooperation and innovation. PBL usually requires students to complete projects in groups, helping to cultivate their cooperation ability and team spirit. At the same time, during the project implementation process, students need to continuously propose innovative solutions, which also helps cultivate their innovation consciousness and innovation ability. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a new media marketing and planning course based on PBL combined with OBE teaching to enhance problem-solving ability in advertising students. Materials and approaches: The study employed a three-phase research design involving phase 1 was studying the background information through reviewing documents and interviewing experts and students, phase 2 was constructing and verifying the developed course by 5 experts, and phase 3 was implementing the course with the sample of 40 junior Advertising students at Xi'an University which were derived by cluster random sampling. The research instruments used to collect data in this phase were as follows:1) scoring rubric of students' problem-solving ability with reliability of 0.84. 2) questionnaire for students' satisfaction with the reliability of 0.75. Data collection was relevant to test papers and scales, and data were analyzed by using statistics including; means, standard deviations, t-test for dependent samples, and one sample t-test. Results: After implementation of a new media marketing and planning course based on project-based learning combined with outcome-based education concept, it revealed that 1) posttest scores of students' problem-solving ability is greater than pretest at.01 levels of statistical significance (t39= 16.01, p = 0.001). 2) students' satisfaction after implementing the course was statistically greater than the criterion of 70% at a.01 level of statistical significance (t39 =19.51, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The PBL combined with OBE teaching provides effective ways and methods for improving college students' problem-solving abilities. By clarifying learning outcomes, emphasizing practical ability, and promoting cooperation and innovation, the PBL teaching methods model can better meet the requirements for problem-solving ability in modern education and the advertising field.

Microbial education plays a crucial role in harnessing the beneficial properties of microbiota for infectious disease protection in Crassostrea gigas.

The increase in marine diseases, particularly in economically important mollusks, is a growing concern. Among them, the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) production faces challenges from several diseases, such as the Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS) or vibriosis. The microbial education, which consists of exposing the host immune system to beneficial microorganisms during early life stages is a promising approach against diseases. This study explores the concept of microbial education using controlled and pathogen-free bacterial communities and assesses its protective effects against POMS and Vibrio aestuarianus infections, highlighting potential applications in oyster production. We demonstrate that it is possible to educate the oyster immune system by adding microorganisms during the larval stage. Adding culture based bacterial mixes to larvae protects only against the POMS disease while adding whole microbial communities from oyster donors protects against both POMS and vibriosis. The efficiency of immune protection depends both on oyster origin and on the composition of the bacterial mixes used for exposure. No preferential protection was observed when the oysters were stimulated with their sympatric strains. Furthermore, the added bacteria were not maintained into the oyster microbiota, but this bacterial addition induced long term changes in the microbiota composition and oyster immune gene expression. Our study reveals successful immune system education of oysters by introducing beneficial microorganisms during the larval stage. We improved the long-term resistance of oysters against critical diseases (POMS disease and Vibrio aestuarianus infections) highlighting the potential of microbial education in aquaculture.

Considering the relevance of Jiddu Krishnamurti to contemporary Indian education: In conversation with the thought of Gert Biesta

Education was a compelling symbol in India’s struggle for independence representing as it did, empowerment, transformation, and liberation. India’s contemporary education system, influenced by neoliberalism has, however, largely focused on curricula, skills, literacy, and educational attainment, while overlooking the concepts of freedom or humanisation advocated by Indian educational philosophers. This article places pre-eminent philosopher of education, Gert Biesta, in conversation with Indian thinker, Jiddu Krishnamurti. The focus of this exchange is to consider, from the perspective of Biesta, the aims and conceptions of education, as proposed by Krishnamurti. Krishnamurti strongly emphasised the importance of a learner-centred approach that would cultivate critical thinking, enable learners to gain a deeper understanding of the integrated processes of life, and provide them an environment for realising their full human potential. The aim of Krishnamurti’s education philosophy was to empower the individual to be free, and capable of dealing with life as a whole, based on the conception of collaborative learning, self-awareness, moral virtues and the ability to live well. Though he acknowledges the importance of technique, curricula, and attainment, Biesta’s approach emphasises that students are not objects who need to be trained. Rather, their development as people with the discernment to know when to act and when to refrain from acting, is a critical function of education. Through its examination of the perspectives of Krishnamurti, from the contemporary standpoint of Biesta’s articulation of the purposes of education, this article argues for the relevance of Krishnamurti’s educational philosophy in India’s current educational realities.

Modelagem na/da Educação do Campo e suas relações com a Educação Popular de Paulo Freire

This work presents and deepens some discussions carried out in the context of doctoral research that deals with the articulation between Mathematical Modeling and Countryside Education. In this way, we seek to highlight some intertwinings between Countryside Education and Mathematical Modeling with the ideals of the Popular Education perspective proposed by Paulo Freire that were noticed during the investigative process. To carry out the research, we analyzed one thesis, ten dissertations and 24 articles that deal with the articulation of Mathematical Modeling with Rural Education, published between 2008 and 2023 in Brazil. The analysis of the material allows us to demonstrate that, based on the relationships/approximations found between these two perspectives, we recognize that freirean assumptions are at the basis of the connection between Modeling and Countryside Education and, therefore, we realize Modeling in/of Countryside Education as a potential for teaching and learning in countryside schools. We were able to conclude that the proposal for a Mathematical Modeling in Countryside Education takes into account the educational project of the Movement for Countryside Education (its pedagogical principles and the specificities of peasant territories). Furthermore, Modeling activities need to be combined with the concept of Critical Mathematics Education, proposed by Ole Skovsmose (2001; 2007; 2008; 2014), and be conceived in the socio-critical perspective of Modeling, which foresees teaching for transformation and social justice.
