Positive Emotion in Ideological and Political Education Teaching Positive Function and Method Path

Positive emotions and emotions play a key role in improving the cognitive effectiveness of ideological and political education, promoting the harmony of teaching relations and creating a good psychological environment. In addition, positive emotions and emotions play a positive role in the cognitive drive, will enhancement, belief strengthening and behavior activation of ideological and political course teachers and students. Therefore, we should properly use the "emotional resonance" teaching method, create teaching situations, and innovate theoretical teaching models to tell the story of ideological and political education.

Perspective or Spectacle? Teaching thoracic aortic anatomy in a mixed reality assisted educational approach– a two-armed randomized pilot study

PurposeAnatomical understanding is an important basis for medical teaching, especially in a surgical context. The interpretation of complex vascular structures via two-dimensional visualization can yet be difficult, particularly for students. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of an MxR-assisted educational approach in vascular surgery undergraduate education, comparing an MxR-based teaching-intervention with CT-based material for learning and understanding the vascular morphology of the thoracic aorta.MethodsIn a prospective randomized controlled trial learning success and diagnostic skills following an MxR- vs. a CT-based intervention was investigated in 120 thoracic aortic visualizations. Secondary outcomes were motivation, system-usability as well as workload/satisfaction. Motivational factors and training-experience were also assessed. Twelve students (7 females; mean age: 23 years) were randomized into two groups undergoing educational intervention with MxR or CT.ResultsEvaluation of learning success showed a mean improvement of 1.17 points (max.score: 10; 95%CI: 0.36–1.97). The MxR-group has improved by a mean of 1.33 [95% CI: 0.16–2.51], against 1.0 points [95% CI: -0.71- 2.71] in the CT-group. Regarding diagnostic skills, both groups performed equally (CT-group: 58.25 ± 7.86 vs. MxR-group:58.5 ± 6.60; max. score 92.0). 11/12 participants were convinced that MxR facilitated learning of vascular morphologies. The usability of the MxR-system was rated positively, and the perceived workload was low.ConclusionMxR-systems can be a valuable addition to vascular surgery education. Further evaluation of the technology in larger teaching situations are required. Especially regarding the acquisition of practical skills, the use of MxR-systems offers interesting application possibilities in surgical education.

Education for technologies and ICT in compulsory education in Romania. Comparative analyses, the need for reconsiderations and equal opportunities

The research analyses the situation of education in Romania regarding the presence in the official documents of the school subjects that form competences for the technological field and for ICT. The framework plans for compulsory education at the primary, secondary and lower cycle of high school were analysed. The conclusions show the fact that many of the official school documents are older than 10 years and they were developed and approved by the Ministry of Education without considering continuity and a unitary vision. If in secondary education the situation is somewhat better, in all the analysed profiles, in primary education the curricular area "Technologies" is underrepresented, although equal opportunities are offered to students from all majors. The high school operates framework plans approved in 2009, which means that there is no continuity in the study of some subjects, ICT/Computer science being present only in certain specializations. The situation is analysed in the classes belonging to mass education, the one intended for national minorities and from specializations such as: mathematics, computer science, technological, arts, music, theology, pedagogy, social sciences, sports, military, public security. A series of research directions and priorities are proposed for a better presence of technology and ICT education in the training of students for the society of the future.

Augmented Reality as a Tool to Support the Connection Between Reality and Mathematical Knowledge: A Case for Teaching Parallel Relations of Planes in Space

In the 11th−grade Vietnamese Mathematics Curriculum, students learn about parallel relations between planes in space. This is cognitively challenging for many students. Studies have shown difficulties relating to limited spatial imagination and drawing representations. The teacher’s approach also causes difficulties for some students; for example, some teachers do not approach new knowledge from practice. These approaches lead students to learn math only in that class rather than to relate math knowledge to real life, whereas real-life objects can be good tools for illustrating knowledge of spatial geometry. This study uses an action research method using GeoGebra 3D Calculator software to design teaching situations about parallel relations of lines and planes in space. This study was conducted with 40 students in 11th grade in Long An Province, Vietnam. It was found that learning tasks can be designed to help students construct knowledge effectively and overcome difficulties. The results of this research show that AR software for 3D Geometry, in particular GeoGebra, creates a connection between reality and abstract knowledge about the parallel relations of lines and surfaces in space. The research also shows that the application of augmented reality in teaching helps students understand and test hypotheses, eliminate false hypotheses, and build new knowledge about parallel relations effectively.

A Review of The Current Situation of Career Planning Courses in Chinese Higher Vocational Colleges

As China pays more and more attention to vocational education, the urgency of high-quality employment for vocational college students is also increasing. Career planning courses, as a key comprehensive education for high-quality employment in vocational colleges, play a crucial role. However, according to the data, the resignation rate of vocational college students within six months has remained high in recent years, which shows that the teaching of career planning courses for vocational college students is still not adequate. This paper aims to study the teaching situation of career planning courses in vocational colleges in China and identify the problems and causes of such courses. Using the method of document research, the paper takes the career planning course teaching situation in Ningxia Vocational and Technical College as a sample for study. Through the research, it was found that vocational colleges generally have problems with outdated teaching methods, weak faculty teams, and insufficient course settings, mainly due to the lack of attention from the government, schools, and students themselves on career planning courses. This paper analyzes the problems and causes of the teaching of career planning courses and proposes relevant reform and innovation strategies to enhance the level of attention to career planning courses.

The Didactic Contract in Hybrid Education: A Prospective Analysis

Following the COVID-19 epidemic in March 2020, Algerian universities were forced to implement remote teaching across the country. Nonetheless, the major players in this context have not been pre-implemented. We are therefore interested in the difficulties encountered in this new context, mainly in the didactic relationship. Having made this preliminary statement regarding distance teaching, we should now ask what the nature of the problems is that flow from these breaches of the didactic contract and what their consequences are for both the introduction of teaching content and for the assessment methods. To answer these questions, a questionnaire was addressed to both teachers and students of the faculty of letters at Hassiba Benbouali University, in the French department, to detect the nature of the obstacles encountered. In other words, the data analysis aims to solve the various problems presented by these new hybrid teaching situations within Algerian university settings. The findings provide valuable insights into preparing for and addressing the challenges of hybrid and remote teaching. Thus, it is crucial to proactively develop actionable strategies to elevate the overall quality of education in this ever evolving academic prospect.

Post- and pre-Vatican II Council Perspectives on Church Education

Education is an essential matter for every individual to support both personal and social life. This has been an unchanged reality up to the present moment. The Church truly recognizes its significant role in education. However, with various changing contexts over different eras, the Church's response to education in each era also varies. Before the Second Vatican Council, the Church faced an educational situation influenced by Gallicanism, which sought to weaken the Church's influence on the state. The impact of Gallicanism on education was the existence of a state monopoly on education, leaving behind crucial aspects of education. Pope Pius XI, through Divini Illius Magistri, sought to address such a context. After the Second Vatican Council, the Church's stance, previously closed to the modern world, began to change. The Church became more open to the modern world, influencing its perspective on education. Education, which was previously more anti-modernism and anti-liberalism, has now become more open. This shift is conveyed in the document Gravissimum Educationis, published during the Second Vatican Council. The Church's development in responding to the evolving world of education is a tangible manifestation of its presence in the world.

Development of mental regulation of students' psychological states during the learning process

The article presents the results of a study of the development of mental regulation of students’ psychological states during their studies at a university. This work is based on authors’ conceptual model of the structural and functional organization of psychological states’ mental regulation. The study was carried out at the initial and final stages of students’ education in everyday and stressful situations of academic activity covering the period from 2019 to 2023. Methods and effectiveness of psychological state self-regulation were studied using well-known valid methods and specially designed questionnaires. Mental structures such as reflection, life meaning orientation, and self-system, as well as individual regulatory properties studied outside educational situations in first (2018) and fourth years (2022) of study were investigated. As a result of the study, it was established, that, regardless of the situation of educational activity, psychological states acquire greater stability (equilibrium) by the senior year of study, which is associated with the effectiveness of states’ self-regulation. Changes in mental structures from the initial course to the final of study are revealed in an increase in the intensity of their manifestations in all main indicators. It has been established that in both situations, during the learning process, students experience an increase in the involvement of mental structures (primarily reflexive) and regulatory properties in the regulation of psychological states. In each situation of educational activity and at each stage of training, there were identified the leading structures of consciousness, determining the choice of self-regulation methods, which, in turn, are associated with the substructures of psychological states. It has been also stablished that from the initial stage of study to the final one, there is an increase in the number of methods used for states’ self-regulation, as well as their relationships with mental structures and regulatory properties of the personality, which indicates the development of a system of mental regulation of students’ psychological states.

Research on the Current Status and Countermeasures of Chinese Language Teaching in Primary Schools under the Background of New Curriculum Reform

The continuous advancement of educational reform has set higher standards for the teaching of Chinese language in primary schools. Teachers are required to continuously explore and adopt innovative teaching methods while discarding outdated approaches to enhance teaching efficiency. Primary education marks the beginning of children's learning journey, playing a decisive role in stimulating their interest in learning and developing good habits. Therefore, improving teaching methods in primary schools not only positively affects children’s current learning but also lays the foundation for their future academic growth, contributing to the improvement of students' comprehensive abilities. Despitethis, the teaching outcomes in primary schools still have room for improvement.Some students have not yet developed good study habits and show resistance to learning, which affects the teaching effectiveness, especially in the Chinese subject where this issue is more pronounced. Therefore, it is crucial to deeply analyze the current situation of Chinese language teaching in primary schools and find effective improvement strategies. This can enhance students' motivation to learn and improve the quality of teaching.

"Track style" children's fundamental movement skills test: construction and verification of an efficient evaluation system.

This study aimed to develop an efficient tool for assessing children's fundamental motor skills, the "Track style" Children's Fundamental Movement Skills Test (TCFMST), based on theories of motor development integrated with Chinese cultural context and physical education teaching situations. Starting from a literature analysis, the study selected items from existing fundamental movement skill (FMS) assessments, textbooks, physical education and health standards, and children's movement guidelines to construct a pool of test items. Subsequently, the items were screened and optimized using the Delphi method. Finally, the feasibility, discrimination, difficulty, reliability, and validity of the constructed test were examined using testing methods. The TCFMST includes three dimensions: locomotive skills, body control skills, and manipulative skills, with a total of 10 items. The difficulty and discrimination of each item are appropriate; the correlation coefficients for retest reliability range from 0.789 to 0.943 (p < 0.01). The results of exploratory factor analysis indicate that the common factors align with the hypothesized three dimensions, indicating good structural validity of the test. The concurrent validity results show a correlation coefficient of -0.510 (p < 0.01) between the TCFMST and the total score of TGMD-3, indicating a moderate correlation between the two tests. The TCFMST developed in this study has good difficulty, discrimination, reliability, and validity. It also features strong operability, a short duration, and high interest. It can serve as an important tool for monitoring children's fundamental motor skill levels.

Educational Leadership and Learners’ Academic Achievement in Secondary Schools in Developing Countries: A Critical Review

The study explored three leadership styles in education for students’ academic achievement in secondary schools viz: democratic, laissez-faire and autocratic leadership styles in developing countries. The main crux of the study was examining the impact of heads of schools' leadership towards academic achievement of secondary schools’ students and recommending the most effective leadership style for heads. In-depth study of heads of schools' leadership styles to students’ academic achievement through systematic review of previous related literature was conducted. The study used qualitative method to analyse 49 published documents of which 5 were books published from 2002 to 2023 and 44 were papers published from 2006 to 2023 years. This study was confined in the following sample of countries Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa. Also, supplementary papers from Kuwait and USA were reviewed to study more how leadership in education is done. The findings showed that no single leadership style in educational context fits all schools’ environments. Moreover, it was shown that most heads of schools prefer the use of the democratic type of leadership style which does not fit all schools’ environments. The studies revealed that educational situations differ, thus the leadership style chosen should rely on the school situation. The current study recommends some effective measures for leadership development of secondary schools’ heads.
