Learning styles unmasked: Conceptual change among pre-service teachers using podcasts and texts

BackgroundThe learning styles myth is prevalent among (pre-service) teachers. Research shows that texts and podcasts refuting misconceptions and contrasting them with scientific concepts can effectively dissolve such misconceptions through cognitive conflicts, encouraging the reflection of one's beliefs. However, it is unclear if texts and podcasts differ in refuting pre-service teachers' misconceptions. AimsWe investigated if conceptual change texts and podcasts have different potential for inducing conceptual change among pre-service teachers regarding their beliefs in the learning styles myth, compared to an expository information presentation immediately and up to eight weeks after the intervention. Sample116 pre-service teachers participated in the short term, and 100 in the long term. MethodsThe experimental study used a 2 x 2 x 4 mixed-design (manner of information presentation: conceptual change vs expository; medium: podcast vs text; time: immediately before and after the treatment as well as four and eight weeks later). Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. Students' beliefs were measured at all four measurement points. ResultsThe conceptual change conditions led to a stronger decrease in students' beliefs than the expository conditions in the short term (p < 0.01, η2 = 0.08) and the long term (p = 0.03, η2 = 0.04). Text and podcast were equally effective in the short term (p = 0.62, η2 = 0.00, BF01 = 9.13) and the long term (p = 0.67, η2 = 0.00, BF01 = 39.94). ConclusionPodcasts and texts using conceptual change strategies can effectively dispel pedagogical misconceptions among pre-service teachers up to eight weeks post-intervention.

Економічна сутність та роль бухгалтерської звітності в інформаційному забезпеченні державного управління

The work aims to analyze the economic essence and role of accounting reporting in the information provision of state administration in modern economic conditions. The research methodology included the following research methods: terminological analysis – to clarify to the city the essence of the concept of “information provision” of the state administration system; the method of analysis and synthesis – in order to adapt the concept of reporting to modern conditions of state administration; monographic analysis – to define and characterize approaches to the role of accounting reporting in the information provision of public administration; systematic approach – in order to determine the content of the information provision of reporting of the state administration system based on the conducted research. It is highlighted that the state administration system has also changed under the influence of information technologies. As a result, the number of scientific concepts and approaches to understanding the term “information provision” has increased. Based on definitions of the concept of “information provision” in the aspects of state administration, the following approaches are distinguished: the process of processing information, the process of satisfying information requests, the administrative aspect, the process of the total number of bodies and resources, a set of measures. The author’s definition of “information provision of reporting of the state administration system” is presented. The definitions of the entity “reporting,” “accounting reporting,” and “financial reporting” have been systematized according to various sources. We believe that financial reporting is a component of accounting reporting. It is distinguished by the fact that it discloses information about its financial condition and the results of business entities for external and internal use. Regarding the concept of accounting and financial reporting, we note that “accounting reporting” is a broader concept and can be presented to both internal and external users. Internal reporting is intended for the needs of internal management of the enterprise and its divisions and may contain confidential information that is not disclosed. External reporting, including financial reporting, reflects the financial and economic activity of the enterprise as a whole and is a means of informing external users – interested legal entities and individuals – about the activities, income, expenses, financial results, property status of the enterprise, and can be used at the enterprise itself. Keywords: information provision, reporting, information provision of public administration system reporting, accounting reporting, financial reporting, public administration.

Social hygiene in Germany in the early twentieth century: Science subject and methodology

Introduction. At the beginning of the 20th century, the theory of social hygiene was widely recognized worldwide. This science’s birthplace is Germany, and its founder is Alfred Grotjahn. In 1904, he presented a scientific concept of social hygiene, including a new hygienic science, field of study, subject, methodology, and scientific methods. Purpose. This study examines the scientific approaches to social hygiene in German academic literature from the early 1900s to the late 1920s. Materials and methods. This study gathered the necessary data by comprehensively reviewing key German manuals and periodic annual compilations. Results. A. Grotjahn viewed social hygiene as a science combining descriptive and normative approaches. By social hygiene, he meant the study of conditions affecting the social hygiene culture of individuals about place, time, and social environment, as well as their offspring. The descriptive component of the science aims to analyze these conditions, while the normative side investigates measures to improve hygienic culture among individuals and their offspring. He proposed to apply the probability theory as a scientific methodology and utilized the scientific methods of statistics, economics, history, sociology, and politics. Until the 1920s, German social hygienists followed Grotjahn’s theory in their manuals. In the mid-1920s, Ferdinand Huppe introduced the concept of constitutional hygiene theory in a multi-volume handbook of social hygiene. It was based on the methods of biology and the principles of racial hygiene. Conclusion. Grotjahn’s scientific concept of social hygiene underwent significant changes and evolution in the early twentieth century. These transformations, which were influenced by introducing new theories and applying different scientific methods, are crucial to understanding the development of social hygiene as a discipline.

Analysis of Library Building Design from the Concept of Green Building

Library is a symbol of urbanization in the present era. The external shape of the library is more elegant and solemn, and the interior also pays more attention to the convenience and comfort. In the design, we need to pay attention to the enjoyment of architectural art beauty, and at the same time, we need to make the layout of the library more scientific and applicable, and meet the needs of the public reading. As a public building with huge flow of people, the library needs to consume a lot of energy when it is open, which is not in line with the characteristics of green building advocated at present. Therefore, in order to implement the concept of environmental protection, it is necessary to integrate the design of library building with the concept of green building. At the same time, the library is also a cultural building, and it needs to reflect the scientific concept of humanistic care and people- oriented. Therefore, this paper mainly analyzes and discusses the library design under the concept of green building.

A conceptual typology of energy citizenship

Energy citizenship is viewed as playing an essential role in the transition towards sustainable energy systems on a national and global scale. However, as a social science concept it is rather fuzzy and insufficiently elaborated. This paper proposes a conceptual typology of energy citizenship that aims for a balance between various competing understandings, in full awareness of ontological and disciplinary differences. The identification of conceptual dimensions and categories for the typology is based on a thorough literature research in the fields of energy social sciences and political sciences, resulting in the formulation of ten ideal types. In a next step, the conceptual typology was empirically tested and substantiated by mapping 596 cases of energy citizenship across Europe. This article presents the conceptual background of the typology and describes the ten ideal-types, highlighting conceptual characteristics, and illustrating them with salient examples. The conceptual typology captures the breadth of energy citizenship, encompassing both existing and possible types. It can be used by practitioners in the design of initiatives and/or policies acknowledging the various possible contributions of energy citizenship to a more sustainable, just and democratic energy system, and in social science studies on transformative social innovations, (dis)empowerment and “knowings of governance”.

Integration of the legal conception into legislation and social reality

The article is devoted to the issues of implementing a legal conception into legislation and social reality. Specifically, it explores the path that legal conceptions take from their creators' consciousness to legal doctrine, lawmaking, and law enforcement. The oral or written publication of a concept elicits an appropriate response from the environment – positive, negative, neutral, or mixed. The recognition of a legal conception determines its integration into legal doctrine (an indicator of such recognition is primarily citation). It is emphasized that legal concepts are vulnerable to plagiarism, as copyright law excludes concepts from the scope of its legal protection. From legal doctrine, a legal conception moves into the normative base and practical realm. Generally, it initially enters legislation and then societal reality, but there are exceptions. For instance, the history of Ukrainian law knows other cases where a legal conception was implemented in societal life without prior integration into legislation. A recognized legal conception can determine the content of all or specific provisions of a law (including the constitution or code), international treaty, subordinate normative-legal act, interpretative act of a constitutional jurisdiction authority, judicial or administrative decision, etc. A legal conception, projected onto social relations through the intermediary of legislative text, is usually not fully reflected in them. It should be understood that the norm of the legislation is applied in social life, and its content in most cases corresponds to the provisions of the concept partially and limitedly. The brevity and fragmentary nature of the text of a normative-legal act sometimes lead to misunderstanding or incorrect application of the concept's provisions, on which it was based. Specific examples of the influence of legal conceptions on legislation and social practice in Ukraine and other countries are highlighted. The example of H. Kelsen and the historical significance of his conception of constitutional justice are considered. Certain directions of influence on the modern legal system of Ukraine by scientific conceptions of representatives of the Faculty of Law of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv are shown

Load Management Among Professional Hockey Goalies: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Load management is a sports science concept describing the execution of well-established training principles to measure athletic workloads and enhance performance. The term 'load management' has become common in sports media to refer to a much wider range of scenarios, including the idea that by limiting regular season workload for athletes, their health and playoff performance will improve. Varying links between load and performance have been demonstrated in baseball and soccer. The purpose of this study was to objectively assess the impact of regular season workload on postseason performance among National Hockey League (NHL) goalies. NHL goalies with lighter regular season workloads will perform better in postseason appearances. Retrospective cohort. Level 3. NHL goalies with a minimum of 20 regular season games played and 3 playoff game appearances in the same season since 2013-2014 were eligible for inclusion. All regular season and postseason workload and performance metrics were collected from publicly available statistical databases. Workload outcomes included games started, minutes played, and shots faced. Performance outcomes included goals against average, save percentage, goals saved above average, and quality start percentage. Multivariable linear regression was used to determine whether regular season workload predicted postseason performance, when controlling for age and injury status. A total of 51 goalies contributed 111 goalie-seasons to the analysis. The results of the primary model indicated that regular season workload explained only 6.8% of the variance in postseason performance, and that this relationship was not significant (R2 = 0.068; F(5,92) = 1.335; P = 0.26). Based on data from 6 full seasons, there is no evidence to support a specific regular season game limit among NHL goalies with the aim of improved performance. Individualized workload plans may be more appropriate than a single league-wide standard.
