In(ex)clusion of Refugee Children from Ukraine in Cultural Institutions on the Example of the Gorzów Library

Abstract This article raises the issue of inclusion of refugee children from Ukraine in cultural institutions on the example of the Gorzów Library, where since March 4th, 2022 until now the classes entitled Colorful syllables are organized. The meetings are aimed at integrating the Ukrainian community with Polish, preventing discrimination against immigrants, while taking care to preserve the cultural identity of the newcomers. In the first place, the concept of culture is discussed and its indispensability in human life is considered. The role of cultural institutions is also analyzed, with particular emphasis on cultural transmission towards the emerging multicultural society. Pilot studies on the organization of cultural and educational activities for children from Ukraine by Polish libraries are discussed. Further on, the cultural and educational activities in the Gorzów library addressed to refugee children in order to accelerate their resilience are presented. The role of cultural security was also noticed to finally emphasize the importance of ethnosecurity and ethnopedagogy.

The Influence of Parental Education on Children's Participation in Extracurricular Classes

Integrating the influence of parents' education on their children's education, this paper delves into the status of the influence of parents' education on their children's attendance in extracurricular classes. The core idea of this dissertation is to verify that parental education has a significant effect on children's education. In previous studies, the correlation between parent's education level and children's participation in extracurricular classes has been expressed through data analysis such as CGSS. Therefore, concerning the data from previous studies and CEPS data, this paper incorporates descriptive statistics , sum analysis , and logit simple regression analysis. Inspired by real-life examples, this study conclude that parents' education level affects children's participation in extracurricular classes, that parents have different degrees of influence on children's participation in extracurricular classes, and that high parental education level and children's participation in extracurricular classes are not common. The research significance of this paper is that it can clarify the current situation of the development of children's daily education, and according to the research results, it can predict and guide the development trend of education in the future. Participation in educational activities for children, parents, and schools indicates the focus on the direction of choice and planning.

ДЕТИ ВОЙНЫ: БЕСПРИЗОРНОСТЬ И БЕЗНАДЗОРНОСТЬ В ЦЕНТРАЛЬНОМ КАЗАХСТАНЕ В 1941–1945 гг. (по архивным документам)

In this article, the materials from the Archives of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Central State Archives of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the State Archives of the Karaganda Region are introduced in historical science and analyzed to shed light on children’s everyday life during the Great Patriotic War in Central Kazakhstan. The focus is on neglect, homelessness, and juvenile delinquency among children raised under the extreme conditions of the war, such as a sharp increase in the number of children either deprived of parental care or neglected and living in foster families. The new archival documents reveal the levels of homelessness, neglect, and juvenile delinquency in Central Kazakhstan as a whole and in its each region taken separately. The differences observed can be attributed to the specifics of the social structure of the population living there. The conclusion is made about the general effectiveness of the measures taken by various state structures and institutions, primarily the NKVD (People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs) and the national education bodies. However, some problems remained unsolved due to the lack of financial and labor resources, as well as because of the difficulties in the organization of training and educational activities for children.

Intervención sobre las Funciones Ejecutivas (FE) desde el contexto educativo

Si bien la historia de la Neuroeducación es relativamente corta (sólo en la última década se comienza a aplicar al ámbito académico los métodos derivados de la neurociencia), el interés por esta disciplina es creciente y su eficacia para la mejora de aspectos importantes del contexto educativo parece demostrarse y concretarse cada vez más. Con el fin de comprender mejor los conceptos de las nuevas disciplinas como Neuroeducación o Neuropsicología infantil y, sobre todo, de aportar una propuesta práctica de aplicación de la Neurodidáctica en el aula, este artículo de revisión bibliográfica resume en primer lugar los conceptos básicos de estas disciplinas, para potenciar tanto el rendimiento académico como el ejecutivo en contexto educativo. Dentro del ámbito de la neuroeducación, las Funciones Ejecutivas (FE) constituyen un nuevo constructo que ha cobrado especial interés en los últimos años. Por ello, en un segundo lugar, este trabajo propone dos ejemplos de programas de intervención sobre las capacidades ejecutivas de metacognición y autorregulación, aplicables o adaptables al aula o a actividades educativas más amplias para niños de Educación Infantil y Primaria.

Augmented reality in educational activities for children with disabilities

This study explores a new way to integrate advanced display technology into educational activities for children with different disabilities. A free interactive mobile augmented reality (AR) application was developed to facilitate the learning of geometry. Twenty-one elementary school children participated in an experiment. The results show that the AR system could help the school children to finish puzzle game activities independent of teacher’s assistance. With the use of AR display technology, the participants demonstrated improved ability to complete puzzle game tasks when compared to the use of traditional paper-based methods. Performance data indicated that the use of AR technology could enhance learning motivation and frustration tolerance in children with special needs.

An In-School-Based Program of Combined Fine Motor Exercise and Educational Activities for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders.

This article introduces a game-based rehabilitation platform designed to integrate training of fine motor skills and cognitive functions. A novel computer interface device was developed that can effectively replace a standard computer mouse when doing exercises to rehabilitate hand function. This smart device converts signals from miniature motion sensors to signals equivalent to that of a computer mouse. In this way, nearly any object or utensil can be changed to function exactly as a computer mouse, simply by attaching the motion sensor. Multiple objects with varied sizes, shapes, weights, and functional demands for precision can be used for exercise and to practice a variety of gross or fine motor skills, and, importantly, while playing fun computer games. The platform was designed to work with modern and common computer games, which have a broad range of movement speeds and accuracy levels, cognitive activities (puzzles, choices, distractors), and educational content. The platform includes a designed assessment game with advanced data logging for electronic monitoring. Data analysis methods have been developed to quantify performance metrics that provide insights into the quality, efficiency, and skill of a child and thus mean to conduct trend analyses that indicate how the child is performing over time.

Uso de robots cooperativos para el desarrollo de habilidades de trabajo cooperativo en niños

<p>El presente trabajo describe una contribución al proyecto QUEMES. Es una propuesta para la educación en tecnología que aborda tres componentes: la construcción de los robots móviles diferenciales, el entorno gráfico de programación orientado a evento y las actividades pedagógicas para los niños. Este proyecto fue desarrollado en el 2010 por el grupo de investigación SIDRE de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana en convenio con Maloka. QUEMES es una propuesta de aprendizaje en educación en tecnología usando robots cooperativos. El objetivo es que los niños aprendan a trabajar de forma cooperativa a través de la observación de cómo interactúan los robots para resolver un problema débilmente estructurado en forma conjunta. Se aplica la metodología de “Motivación para la creación”, desarrollada por Maloka en sus clubes de ciencia; los problemas por solucionar parten de situaciones de la vida cotidiana, lo que facilita la asociación de la tecnología y su diario vivir. El software para la programación de los robots está desarrollado en un entorno gráfico que es muy fácil e intuitivo de utilizar. Los estudiantes sólo definen las interacciones entre los robots y las reacciones que estos deben tener ante los eventos; al compilar el programa se generan de forma automática los códigos necesarios para el control autónomo de los robots.</p><p>QUEMES, además de proporcionar una plataforma hardware y software, también plantea una serie de actividades tecnológicas escolares, donde los estudiantes aprenden los principios básicos de mecánica, electrónica y programación, necesarios para la comprensión del funcionamiento de los robots, además de reflexionar sobre la importancia del trabajo cooperativo. El aporte presentado consiste en extender las actividades educativas que los estudiantes pueden realizar mediante el diseño de nuevas tareas de cooperación entre los robots móviles, aprovechando la incorporación de un sistema prensil de objetos geométricos simples en cada robot.</p>

Development and promotion of Malaysian Dietary Guidelines.

Development and promotion of dietary guidelines is one of the key activities outlined in the National Plan of Action for Nutrition of Malaysia for the prevention of nutrition-related disorders. The first official Malaysian Dietary Guidelines (MDG) was published in 1999 and was thoroughly reviewed and launched on 25 March 2010. The new MDG 2010 is a compilation of science-based nutrition and physical activity recommendations. These guidelines form the basis of consistent and scientifically sound nutrition messages for the public. There are 14 key messages and 55 recommendations, covering the whole range of food and nutrition issues, from importance of consuming a variety of foods to guidance on specific food groups, messages to encourage physical activities, consuming safe food and beverages and making effective use of nutrition information on food labels. The MDG also has an updated food pyramid. Various efforts have been made to ensure that the revised MDG is disseminated to all stakeholders. The Ministry of Health has organised a series of workshops for nutritionists and other health care professionals, and the food industry. In collaboration with other professional bodies and the private sector, the Nutrition Society of Malaysia has been promoting the dissemination and usage of the MDG to the public through a variety of formats and channels. These include the publication of a series of leaflets, educational press articles, educational booklets, as well as through educational activities for children. It is imperative to monitor the usage and evaluation of these dietary messages.

Geological Heritage as an Integral Part of Natural Heritage Conservation Through Its Sustainable Use in the Idrija Region (Slovenia)

Although Idrija is most famous for its mercury mine, the whole region has a rich natural heritage with many areas of outstanding value. Especially important is its geological heritage, which includes the mercury ore deposit, exposed stratigraphic cross sections, the Wild Lake, the Idrija Fault and the Habeckovo brezno natural shaft. This diversity and sheer geographical scale offers great potential for education and developing geotourism in the region. It is crucial to conserve this natural and cultural heritage, with many previous efforts have been put into such endeavours. The most important is Zgornja Idrijca Landscape Park where some features are additionally protected such as natural monuments and a nature reserve. In general, the conservation of natural and cultural heritage in Idrija municipality is enforced by three decrees, EU directives and national laws and regulations. Because of the importance of the Idrija region, since 2007 a large amount of effort has been put into the establishment of Idrija Geopark. In the past year, as part of the Leader project “Involving geological heritage in rural tourism for the Idrijca River basin (the region of Idrija and Tolmin)”, the first concrete steps towards creating this geopark have been made. This included making an inventory of natural heritage sites, educational activities for children and adults and research theses in cooperation with students. The evaluation of geoheritage has been completed and preliminary themes designed. In this way, the basis of the proposed Idrija Geopark is set out, and guidelines for conservation, education and geotourism in the municipality are determined.

Biology in Community Education: a Philippine Scenario for Lifelong Education

Summaries English This paper describes the various activities undertaken by an educational institution as it seeks through a R & D project to improve the quality of life (and learning) in a rural community in The Philippines. Although the subject matter focus is on science education (biology), the project staff became involved in several activities which were only remotely related to biological education, but more closely related to the immediate concerns of the community; these concerns were mainly related to the economic and individual welfare. Efforts to bridge the gap between the community and classroom are described, including educational activities for adults of the community, identifying topics for in‐service seminars of teachers, educational activities for children. Some major principles of lifelong education are then reviewed, and implications to educators are then drawn.
