Self-Regulation of Student Learning in a STEAM Project

Self-regulated learning refers to the learner’s ability to regulate his or her behaviour, focusing on the acquisition of academic content, skill, or task. This concept includes aspects related to cognitive and emotional self-regulation. According to research studies, the aspect of STEAM education is a crucial determinant of academic success. Thus, in this type of education, attitudes towards science are also important, considering different aspects such as enjoyment, interest, usefulness, and self-efficacy and factors like age, educational stage, gender, family context, and self-concept. This study aims to analyse how Primary School students, who participated in a STEAM project, perceive their own learning process in aspects related to metacognition and self-efficacy, as well as their interest and enjoyment during the activities; furthermore, how the connections between these aspects are. In this project, 109 students between 9 and 11 years old from two different schools participated, using a questionnaire validated by experts. The results show that students show a high appreciation for STEAM work through this type of project as it enables problem-solving and critical thinking associated with the development of satisfaction and positive self-concept in doing it. These distinct aspects show significant correlations between them favoured by the designed STEAM project.

Keadilan Sosial di Indonesia Ditinjau dalam Perspektif Nurcholish Madjid

Social justice is a form of aspiration within a country or religion. Achieving social justice is not an easy task and is often difficult to attain. In reality, the current state of society is perceived as not having achieved equitable justice, especially in economic, educational, employment, and other aspects. Nurcholish Madjid, as a religious and national thinker, is concerned with issues of life, including religion, nationalism, and social justice. It is therefore necessary to understand Nurcholish Madjid's thoughts on social justice in Indonesian society and what needs to be done to achieve a just life. The research method is conducted by collecting data related to the discussion taken from journals or articles related to social justice. The research found that the lives of people, especially in Indonesia, have not been evenly distributed in terms of economy, education, and employment. Therefore, there is a need for cooperation between society and the state to achieve a just life in nation-building. Fundamentally, the state plays a crucial role in ensuring social justice for its people. Social justice means the absence of differences or discrimination in living. Nurcholish Madjid also states that the role of youth is crucial in making changes in the present and future. Any form of discrimination, coercion, and others can disrupt the principles of community life. As religious communities, we should not only focus on worship but also on the social aspects of religion because every religion teaches goodness. Discrimination and other forms of differences will only divide society and make it increasingly difficult to achieve social justice.

University lecturers’ lived experiences of teaching critical thinking in Australian university: a hermeneutic phenomenological research

AbstractThe study explores insights into the phenomenon of Australian lecturers’ lived experiences of teaching standalone critical thinking units within associate degree courses at one university in Victoria, Melbourne, Australia. The study makes an original contribution by focusing upon the experiences of teaching staff in Australian universities in relation to teaching critical thinking, particularly from a Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenological and Gadamerian hermeneutic theoretical and conceptual framework. At present, there are no unified methods, frameworks, or models of teaching critical thinking in Australian higher education. This problem for lecturers is an important aspect of a university education that is not well understood. This is a global educational issue and is a matter of teaching and learning concern worldwide in tertiary education (e.g. United States of America, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK). Although, several studies have been conducted on teaching critical thinking from the perspective of university lecturers. There is limited research that focus on teaching staff in Australian universities’ experience with teaching critical thinking that has used Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenology and Gadamer’s hermeneutic circle, interpretive approach in gathering data. Using interviews, data is conducted with three first-year undergraduate Australian university Ph.D. lecturers. During the analysis of the empirical data, three themes were significant in revealing the key findings: (a) Dwelling; (b) Sorge, and (c) Concern. The comprehensive understanding of the results was that the challenges university lecturers faced in developing students to thinking critically provided new pedagogical curriculum insights for the teaching and learning of a standalone critical thinking unit within the associate degree course.

Virtue ethics embedded: Aristotelianism in the post-war Japanese moral education

ABSTRACT For almost 80 years, post-war Japanese moral education has adopted a dual-process structure, which states morality is taught through two processes: one through all aspects of school education and the other through a special moral education class. The necessity and effectiveness of this structure were theorised by Eijiro Inatomi. However, it has been almost neglected that his theory is largely based on Aristotle’s theory of virtue. This paper examines Inatomi’s Aristotle-inspired theory and its significance. After reviewing the social and historical background of his theory, I argue that Inatomi successfully adopted Aristotle’s theory of virtue in three respects: human definition, intellectual virtue, and ethical virtue. Finally, I suggest that post-war Japanese moral education can be understood as a nationwide social implementation experiment on the efficacy of Aristotelian virtue ethics and that Inatomi’s notion of cosmos can serve as a conceptual device to enhance the social feasibility of Aristotle’s virtue ethics.

Relationship Between Education and Business Management

People exist in an era where for one aspect of life to exist, it has to be dependent on another aspect. Such that to fully be operational, an aspect has to rely on another aspect. For instance, to run a business to fruition, one must be able to have the necessary and needed educational background in that arena. Researchers have indicated that aspects of education and business management have to work hand in hand to ensure a level of fruition at the end of the day. This is in line with the mode of education put into play to ensure a certain attainment of given work at hand. Over the years, it has been evident that for a business to run smoothly there is the dire need for some sort of educational background of all aspects concerned. Such that, to engage in a business such as fish farming, and to adequately manage it with the right skills, there is the need to get the right education or educated personnel on that field. The needed skill will then be able to inform the farmer fully of the needed materials, and resources to manage and run the business. The above scenario is a clear indication that in any particular business, there is much-needed skill and knowledge in a particular field to ensure fruition. Therefore, the paper will be keen to address the definition of business management in line with education and go ahead to define education in line with business management. Similarly, the paper will look into the major correlation between business management and education and the impacts thereof. To that end, the paper will proceed to look at the debates and arguments by various scholars in the field of business management and the educational bit attached to it. Further, the paper will look into the whole concept of over reliance of education as a mode of attainment of the best business management practices. The paper will thus conclude by providing a detailed summary of what has been addressed throughout the paper, providing a personal opinion on the best approach to business practices.

Exploring the relationship between cultural ecosystem services and human well-being of Qiandao Lake in China: insights from tourists and residents

Abstract Landscapes of lakes have a significant impact on people's perceptions of Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES), as well as on their overall sense of well-being. However, there is limited understanding of how best to manage land landscapes and how different approaches influence these perceptions. To explore these questions, a case study of China's Qiandao Lake was conducted, using a survey of 416 tourists and residents based on the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) framework. The relationship between CES and Human Well-Being (HWB) was examined using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), followed by the application of the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method to identify which aspects should be targeted in management strategies. The results revealed several key findings. Firstly, there were significant differences in satisfaction with CES between tourists and residents. Tourists showed higher satisfaction levels in spiritual service, aesthetic service, inspiration, and education and science aspects. In contrast, residents prioritized cultural heritage and sense of place, indicating a deeper connection to the cultural and historical elements of their environment. Secondly, age, education, and income levels played important roles in shaping perceptions of CES. Thirdly, the study underscored the impact of CES on HWB, with aesthetic service having the greatest influence on tourists' HWB, and spiritual service having the most impact on residents' HWB. Lastly, using the IPA model, indicators with low satisfaction but high importance were identified, suggesting areas for improvement, particularly in cultural integration and unique environmental features. These research findings provide scientific and theoretical support for the management and landscape planning of lake ecosystems.

Italian Association of Hospital Cardiologists position paper-obesity in adults: a clinical primer.

Obesity is a chronic and relapsing disease characterized by the interaction between individual predispositions and an obesogenic environment. Recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of energetic homoeostasis paved the way to more effective therapeutic approaches compared with traditional treatments. Since obesity is a complex disease, it necessitates a multi-disciplinary approach whose implementation remains challenging. Nonetheless, emerging pharmacological interventions appear promising. Currently, therapeutic success is discreet in the short term but often fails to maintain long-term weight loss due to a high likelihood of weight regain. Cardiologists play a key role in managing patients with obesity, yet often lack familiarity with its comprehensive management. The aim of this document is to summarize knowledge to consolidate essential knowledge for clinicians to effectively treat patients living with obesity. The paper emphasizes the pivotal role of a strong patient-clinician relationship in navigating successful treatment. We analyse the criteria commonly used to diagnose obesity and point out the strengths and limitations of different criteria. Furthermore, we discuss the role of obesiologists and the contributions of cardiologists. In addition, we detail key components of effective therapeutic strategies, including educational aspects and pharmacological options.

Thoughts on Children's Education from the Perspective of Ibn Hajar Al-Haitami

According to Ibn Hajar al-Haitami, the purpose of children's education involves efforts to care, develop, and exploit the potential of students so that they are able to understand kitabulloh, have noble morals, and have the skills to lead an independent life. In order to achieve these educational goals, Ibn Hajar al-Haitami wrote a book that specifically discusses various aspects, including educational objectives, educational flow, educator competencies, children's educational techniques, education costs, and characteristics of children's educational institutions. All these components are analyzed and described in his work entitled Tahrīru al-Maqōl Fī Adābi Wa Ahkāmi Wa Fawā'idu Yahtāju Ilaihā Muˋaddibū al-Aṭfāl. The study focused on six aspects of education discussed in the book, using. Descriptive Content Analysis Method, Types of Literature Research, and Descriptive Qualitative Approach. The main data are obtained from Tahrīru al-Maqōl Fī Adābi Wa Ahkāmi Wa Fawā'idu Yahtāju Ilaihā Muˋaddibū al-Aṭfāl, while the secondary data comes from various books discussing the biography of Ibn Hajar al-Haitami. The research process involves three stages: data collection, data processing, and data reporting. The results showed that the focus of children's educational goals emphasizes the development of material and non-material potential of learners. A religious-conservative approach is used in the flow of children's education, with the dominant educational technique being takzir. The competence of educators that is prioritized includes personal and social dimensions, while education financing can be obtained through salaries, endowments, and grants. Ibn Hajar al-Haitami recommended educational institutions in the form of maktab and madrasa.
