The Development History and Future Trend of Computer-Assisted Teaching

As the world population continues to grow, computer-assisted instruction can help alleviate the educational problems of a large population. Since the first example of computer-assisted instruction, Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations, appeared in the 1960s, computer-assisted instruction's development has constantly been changing. Because of the attention and research of relevant workers, computer-assisted instruction covers more and more fields. Moreover, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, the functions of computer-assisted instruction are increasing, and the depth of teaching is increasing, which has a significant and far-reaching impact on the education sector and has a good development prospect in the future. This paper summarizes the systems, software, and algorithms of computer-assisted instruction since the 1960s compares them and combs the formation and development of computer-assisted instruction. After entering the 21st century, the development of Artificial Intelligence has provided a new direction for computer-assisted instruction. In the future, computer-assisted instruction will become more personalized and interactive, providing good learning guidance for self-learners.

Analysis of Anta Brand Marketing and Brand Operations Strategies from the Perspective of New Media

Brand marketing and operations have seen substantial changes in the new media age, where internet technology has advanced quickly. Traditional brand promotion strategies have been transformed by new media platforms like social media, video-sharing websites, and blogs that have become crucial avenues for interactions between businesses and customers. Brands must create a significant presence on these channels to succeed in this environment. Using the Anta brand as a case study, this study explores the use and influence of new media in marketing and brand operations. The research objectives include examining Anta's use of new media platforms for marketing, discovering its methods for fostering close relationships with customers and assessing the accomplishments of Anta's new media marketing initiatives, particularly about growing brand recognition and amplification. The study emphasizes the need to thoroughly investigate Anta's new media marketing and brand management techniques in this constantly changing digital world. Anta's development and market significance are primarily attributed to its successful integration of new media into brand communication across various platforms, its strategic acquisitions, and its adaptable marketing strategy. Anta's commitment to private domain tactics, data-driven methodologies, and active consumer involvement are essential to its success in the new media landscape. This study emphasizes how brand marketing dynamics are changing and how adaptation is crucial in the digital age, utilizing Anta's journey as an instructive example of these changes.

Co-creating urban ecosystem accounting: Physical and monetary accounts of runoff retention service provided by urban green spaces

Urban ecosystem accounting can provide the structure for systematically integrating the value of urban green spaces into management and decision making to support urban resilience and sustainability. However, there are very few instructive examples of urban ecosystem accounting, particularly those created collaboratively with a municipality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop co-created urban ecosystem accounts using Tampere, Finland, as a case study. By discussing concrete political and planning-related needs, priorities, and data availability, this study identified urban flooding and the role of green spaces in alleviating this challenge as critical issues. An ecosystem extent account was compiled for accounting years 2012 and 2018 to quantify changes in the extent of ecosystem types. Additionally, an ecosystem service account (physical and monetary), for runoff retention, was compiled for the same years. The runoff retention service was quantified using the InVEST Urban Flood Risk Mitigation model, considering two precipitation events representative of rainstorms that trigger urban flooding. The runoff retention service was translated into service providing areas, which were used in conjunction with service demanding areas to estimate the physical terms of actual flows of retention service for accounting. The monetary value of the service was estimated using the avoided damage cost method. Between 2012 and 2018, the value of runoff mitigation service provided by green spaces increased by 7 % under the 24 mm scenario and by more than 40 % under the 50 mm scenario. The accounts showed concretely how important urban green spaces are in the City of Tampere, and provide an argument to preserve and even increase them in the urban structure. Our experiential ecosystem accounts for urban runoff retention service by green spaces also offer insights to other municipalities, encouraging them to take steps forward in ecosystem accounting.

A Model for Supporting Affective Learning within Diversity and Social Justice Social Work Syllabi

ABSTRACTTeaching approaches are needed that can normalize students’ process of exploring emotions related to their learning and support the internalization of the professional social work values (i.e. human rights and social justice). Within the literature on social work education, the importance of affective processes to support the students’ learning of diversity and social justice content is acknowledged; however, the teaching continues to over-rely on cognitive learning approaches. The authors first discuss some limitations in the current inclusion of affective processes within diversity-related social justice courses. Then, informed by Krathwohl and colleagues’ taxonomy of affective domains, this article proposes a model for integrating affective domains within the syllabus (course descriptions, objectives, schedules, and assignments) of diversity-related social justice courses. The model’s continuum shows the student’s progression in affective learning; A1 indicates the simplest forms of emotion associated with receiving new information. Best practices for supporting affective learning within the course syllabus are discussed, and instructional examples that illustrate pathways for students’ embodiment of professional values are also explored.

Integration of Marxist ideology education in the education of ideologic and politic system of colleges and universities

Abstract Based on the technology of big data, this paper utilizes the IKH algorithm to study the optimal selection of education of ideologic and politic strategies, and constructs the education of ideologic and politic strategy selection model according to the IKH-PP algorithm according to the positive and negative incentive strategies of education of ideologic and politic and the improved krill swarm algorithm. Starting from the ideological and political teaching objectives, the evaluation system is determined, and the objective function of the education of ideologic and politic strategy selection model of the IKH-PP algorithm is derived by using projection-seeking analysis. Combining the research dimensions and research hypotheses, we complete the design of the ideological and political research in institution of higher education that integrates Marxist ideology, and use statistical analysis to conduct empirical analysis of education of ideologic and politic in institution of higher education. The results depict that on the model, compared with KH-PP, the precision of education of ideologic and politic strategy selection is improved by 3.96% and 4.1%, and IKH-PP can effectively improve the precision of education of ideologic and politic strategy selection. On the analysis of teaching examples, the Sig. Values of all 11 independent variables are less than 0.01, indicating that all 11 common factors show a significant positive correlation with the ideologic and behavioral choices of making ideologic and politic of identifying with the integration of Marxism in the value conflict. This study makes the theory of education of ideologic and politic in institution of higher education richer and better and is of great significance to the development of ideological and political and Marxist ideology integration teaching.

A framework for successfully navigating a series of unfortunate events

The effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with a staffing crisis and looming macroeconomic shifts, have created a climate of fear, uncertainty and doubt among healthcare professionals, the likes of which we have not seen in generations. In order to navigate these troubled waters while still providing the highest levels of patient care, healthcare organisations must take a diligent, thoughtful and multifaceted approach that balances short-term needs with long-term strategic goals. The strategic steps taken by MultiCare Health System and Arena Analytics amid the COVID strain and labour shortages provide an instructive example of how companies can respond proactively to economic uncertainty by affirming their core mission, vision and values, focusing relentlessly on win–win outcomes and exercising a ‘now, near and far thinking’ approach.

International Institutions as Forms and Fora: Rao Geping and the Law of International Organizations in China

Abstract This article examines the emergence and development in China of the discipline of international organizations law by specifically focusing on the scholarship of Professor Rao Geping, a founding figure of the discipline. Rao’s writings are read in light of his personal life and professional career as well as China’s economic and social reforms and its foreign policy. A communitarian, cooperative and legal approach to international organizations emerged as Rao’s choice. International organizations are seen mostly as fora for interstate deliberations and negotiations and are approached mainly from their procedural aspect and channelling function. What has been highlighted is a facilitative, procedural and instrumental conception of international organizations rather than an autonomous, functional or regulatory one. Rao advocates an inclusive approach to international organizations, which tends to include flexible, informal frameworks into the ambit of the study of international organizations. In constructing institutions as forms and fora, Rao’s writings effectively play a double role, translating the liberal, progressive ideas of international organizations into domestic international legal studies and facilitating China’s continuous economic reform and political integration into the international system. Rao’s scholarship presents an instructive example of how a scholar from a semi-periphery country may navigate various tensions and paradoxes behind universal concepts and negotiate their concept of international organizations.

Physics laboratory work using cloud technologies

The article describes the structure and content of the physics textbook «Laboratory work using cloud technologies» for students of vocational higher education institutions. The importance of modernizing the educational process in physics in general and approaches to conducting laboratory work in particular using the methods of modern information and communication and cloud technologies are analyzed. The importance and advantages of digitization of the educational process in physics through the use of cloud services, virtual laboratory works, simulators, mobile applications, flash animations, etc. are substantiated. The theoretical and practical blocks of the manual are described in detail. The theoretical unit is represented by three sections and is filled with didactic and methodical materials that contain recommendations, advice and rules for organizing, preparing and conducting a physical experiment. The practical unit of the manual is represented by one section «Laboratory works», which presents instructions for seven laboratory works. A feature of such works is the use of virtual laboratories, simulators, and cloud environments for testing physical laws, researching physical phenomena, and determining physical quantities. The article provides an example of instructions for laboratory work «Determining the index of refraction of light at the boundary of separation of two media». The research presented in this experiment is carried out using the «Refraction of Light» physical simulator of the website Phet.colorado.edu - the website of the University of Colorado. The process of measuring the refractive index of light at the boundary between two media is described in detail and step by step. The order of performing some tasks is illustrated by the corresponding screen images of the «Refraction of Light» physics simulator. The materials for surveying and monitoring the educational achievements of students are given, among which three directions of questions and tasks are singled out for the didactic purpose: to check the assimilation of knowledge, to check the formation of skills and abilities, to check the formation of beliefs. This manual has been tested in groups of students of the humanitarian profile of institutions of vocational pre-higher education. At the All-Ukrainian competition «Pedagogical OSCAR – 2023», the manual won the 2nd place in the nomination «Innovative approaches to the organization of practical training of students of vocational pre-university education».

Comparing teaching examples: effects on the solution quality and learning outcomes of student teachers’ professional vision of classroom management

Young teachers, in particular, often face difficulties in managing their classrooms. A professional vision of classroom management can support teachers in managing a classroom effectively. This element of professional competence is often promoted in teacher training using video-based approaches, e.g., videoing own lessons including expert feedback, analyzing instructional videos and accompanying transcripts and analyzing videos of own and others teaching. This study used the learning format of comparing contrasting cases to promote professional vision of classroom management among first-semester student teachers (N = 127). However, it diverged slightly from the norm in that its contrasting cases came from two auditive, not video, teaching examples. The effectiveness of comparing contrasting cases on the professional vision of classroom management was studied in two experimental groups. One group compared the contrasting cases using self-generated categories (invention activity, n = 63), and the other group compared the cases based on given categories (worked solution, n = 64). Invention activities and worked solutions have their origins in mathematics and science education and promise to activate prior knowledge and the curiosity of learners at the beginning of a new learning unit while at the same time highlighting deep features of a concept in order to enrich networked and organized knowledge. Professional vision of classroom management was assessed using a video-based online test in a pre-post design to determine whether it was more beneficial to compare contrasting cases with an invention activity or a worked solution. Additionally, using a coding scheme, we assessed the quality of the student teachers’ task solutions and the relationship between the quality of the task solutions and the learning outcomes of the posttest. Both groups showed no difference between the benefits of the two learning formats. For the experimental group invention activity, we found negative correlations between the task solutions and the learning outcomes. We ascribe this correlation to a productive failure effect. We performed a second study (N = 54) with a follow-up test to investigate whether either of the two formats produced more sustainable results. Our studies showed that both experimental groups (invention activity: n = 24, worked solution: n = 30) also had a short-term increase in professional vision of classroom management. The invention activity, however, promoted the more sustainable acquisition of professional vision of classroom management. In conclusion, invention activities appear to be an appropriate task format for promoting professional vision of classroom management among student teachers. This finding is relevant for the field of teacher education and improves insights into task formats that promote components of professional competence.

Uphill struggle: collective bargaining for the self-employed in Poland

Poland, which has one of the highest shares of self-employment and civil law contracts in total employment in the European Union, provides an instructive example of a labour law reform that extended the personal scope of collective bargaining. Since 1 January 2019, the right to collective bargaining has been extended to all workers in paid employment. The first effects of the reform have however been disappointing. Collective agreements concluded since the new law came into force hardly ever cover non-employees. These results are rooted both in social partners’ attitudes and strategies and in the existing legal framework. Employers keen on reducing labour costs are reluctant to enter into collective bargaining with self-employed workers, while trade unions have not adopted a comprehensive strategy for representing non-employees. At the same time, the law scarcely fosters and encourages social dialogue; in some areas it can even be an obstacle to developing collective bargaining for workers.

About a basin—The Palaeogene pull‐apart fluvial Bovey Basin, South Devon, UK

The Bovey Basin in south Devon, UK, provides an instructive example of a Palaeogene pull‐apart basin with a complex fluvial sedimentary fill. The basin, one of three that lie along the NW‐SE‐trending Sticklepath Fault Zone, is filled by about 1200 m of sediment, of which about the lower 700 m (mainly lower Bovey Formation) is concealed. The main Bovey Basin is separated from a smaller sub‐basin (the Decoy Basin) south of Newton Abbot. Two main lithofacies are present in the Bovey Formation: lignite‐clay; and clay‐sand, with subordinate lithofacies of red‐mottled clay and sand; and gravel and conglomerate. The upper 500 m or so of the sedimentary infill (middle and upper Bovey Formation) is divided into 10 members. Deposition in the basin was by a variety of fluvial processes, notably floodplain clays and sands deposited by meandering rivers; forest swamps with associated short‐lived shallow lakes; and (mainly in the upper Bovey Formation) braided stream sands and gravels that formed mainly on alluvial fans. Lignites in the basin formed from plants that grew in place in forest swamps, a revision of the long‐held view that the lignitic material was transported into the basin from forests of the conifer Sequoia couttsiae growing outside the basin on adjacent uplands. Newly discovered ichnofabrics occur in some lignitic sequences and probably represent root traces (rhizoliths).

Impact of Anodic Oxidation Reactions in the Performance Evaluation of High-Rate CO2 /CO Electrolysis.

The membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) approach appears to be the most promising technique to realize the high-rate CO2 /CO electrolysis, however there are major challenges related to the crossover of ions and liquid products from cathode to anode via the membrane and the concomitant anodic oxidation reactions (AORs). In this perspective, by combining experimental and theoretical analyses, several impacts of anodic oxidation of liquid products in terms of performance evaluation are investigated. First, the crossover behavior of several typical liquid products through an anion-exchange membrane is analyzed. Subsequently, two instructive examples (introducing formate or ethanol oxidation during electrolysis) reveals that the dynamic change of the anolyte (i.e., pH and composition) not only brings a slight shift of anodic potentials (i.e., change of competing reactions), but also affects the chemical stability of the anode catalyst. Anodic oxidation of liquid products can also cause either over- or under-estimation of the Faradaic efficiency, leading to an inaccurate assessment of overall performance. To comprehensively understand fundamentals of AORs, a theoretical guideline with hierarchical indicators is further developed to predict and regulate the possible AORs in an electrolyzer. The perspective concludes by giving some suggestions on rigorous performance evaluations for high-rate CO2 /CO electrolysis in an MEA-based setup.

Understanding the role of youth in Indigenous territorial governance

Indigenous territories cover more than one-fourth of the world’s land surface, overlap with distinct ecological areas, and harbour significant cultural and biological diversity; their stewardship provides critical contributions to livelihood, food security, conservation, and climate action. How these territories are accessed, used, and managed is an important question for owner communities, state governments, development agencies, and researchers alike. This extends to how broad community memberships remain invested in territorial use and management, with young people comprising one sub-group often underrepresented in decision-making spaces. We know that internal community norms and structures–often dominated by older, adult males–can limit opportunities for youth to contribute their energy and ideas. We also know that youth can and do leave their home communities to pursue life, work, or education goals and aspirations. Drawing on insights from 5 years of collaborative research with the Indigenous Territory of Lomerío (ITL), Bolivia, we explore the roles that youth play in territorial governance, their perceptions of current structures and novel engagement strategies, and consider what lessons from this case could be applied more broadly. Our findings point to the ITL as an instructive example of how Indigenous (and other rural and remote) communities might enable young people to participate more fully in territorial governance, highlighting the importance of an enabling, underlying socio-cultural context. Based on our work in Bolivia, and lessons from other places, we discuss ways to enhance youth-community-territory linkages to support Indigenous land sovereignty and stewardship and reflect on how research co-design and knowledge co-production can help deliver more robust, inclusive, and useful (in an applied sense) empirical insights in support of such efforts.

테크놀로지를 활용한 중학교 음악 교수·학습 방안

With the rapid pace of digital transformation and technological advancements, there is a clear direction in education to enhance students' digital media literacy, starting with the 2022 National Curriculum; this is also an important task in music education. In line with the trend, this study investigates the types and functions of technology that can be utilized in middle school music education. Additionally, it has developed practical examples of music teaching and learning processes that make use of these technologies. To achieve this, an analysis of the 2015 and 2022 music National Curriculum was conducted, along with discussions on the necessity of technology integration in music curricula; the current middle school music textbooks were analyzed, and literature reviews, website surveys, and interviews with music education technology experts were conducted. As a result, a total of 24 technologies suitable for music activities in the areas of performance, listening, and composition at the middle school level were identified, along with their usage instructions, advantages, and disadvantages. Furthermore, utilizing those technologies, the researchers developed practical teaching and learning guides for the performance and composition areas based on the content of the 2022 music National Curriculum. As a conclusion of the research process, the researchers suggested the importance of developing music technologies that are suitable for the Korean curriculum and school environment, the necessity of learner-driven and critically receptive approaches in utilizing artificial intelligence music composition technologies, and the need for music teachers to take a leading role in the development of music education technologies.

A Fuzzy Parameterized Multiattribute Decision-Making Framework for Supplier Chain Management Based on Picture Fuzzy Soft Information

Supplier selection as a multiattribute decision-making (MADM) problem has various inherent uncertainties due to a number of symmetrical variables. In order to handle such information-based uncertainties, rational models like intuitionistic fuzzy sets have already been introduced in the literature. However, a picture fuzzy set (PiFS) with four dimensions of positive, neutral, negative, and rejection is better at capturing and interpreting such kinds of ambiguous information. Additionally, fuzzy parameterization (FPara) is helpful for evaluating the degree of uncertainty in the parameters. This study aims to develop a fuzzy parameterized picture fuzzy soft set (FpPiFSS) by integrating the ideas of PiFS and FPara. This integration is more adaptable and practical since it helps decision makers manage approximation depending on their objectivity and parameterization uncertainty. With the assistance of instructive examples, some of the set-theoretic operations are examined. A decision support framework is constructed using matrix manipulation, preferential weighting, fuzzy parameterized grades based on Pythagorean means, and the approximations of decision makers. This framework proposes a reliable algorithm to evaluate four timber suppliers (initially scrutinized by perusal process) based on eight categorical parameters for real estate projects. In order to accomplish suppliers evaluation, crucial validation outcomes are taken into account, including delivery level, purchase cost, capacity, product quality, lead time, green degree, location, and flexibility. To assess the advantages, dependability, and flexibility of the recommended strategy, comparisons in terms of computation and structure are provided. Consequently, the results are found to be reliable, analog, and consistent despite the use of fuzzy parameterization and picture fuzzy setting.

Multispecies Information Science

ABSTRACTInformation is not just for humans. And humans do not only live with, care for or interact with other humans. Information Science, lagging behind most other social sciences, has not yet broached a public conversation about the multispecies turn. This panel aims to attract attention to the timely and important question of “What is Multispecies Information Science?” An introduction to the topic and key concepts will be established, followed by the provocative reflections on theoretical, methodological, ethical, and practical aspects of the topic. Panelists will bring their own examples of multispecies research, teaching, and design in Information Science and related fields. The discussion about the potential and implications of including Multispecies in Information Science would encourage empathy to non‐human animals we live with, and start a new turn in the field.

Program Pendampingan Pembuatan Modul Ajar Berbasis High Order Thinking Skill di SMP 3 Wonogiri

The merdeka program implemented in some schools has clearly encountered many obstacles. One of them is creating and developing teaching modules. The creation of teaching modules must be consistent with 21st century learning so that teaching modules must be based on higher order thinking skills (HOTS). This is no exception at SMP Negeri 3 Wonogiri. Teachers' understanding of HOTS is reflected in a rubric that includes why and how questions. In fact, to build and strengthen the way of thinking and understanding of HOTS, it must be comprehensive, from learning goals to learning assessment. The purpose of the training proposed by the team to be provided to the teachers of SMP Negeri 3 Wonogiri is to support them so that they can successfully create teaching modules based on HOTS. This service cooperates with SMP 3 Wonogiri and the activation teachers of SMP 4 Pracimantoro. The number participating in the training is 27 teachers from many different subjects. The three-day activity begins with training and ends with a speaker presenting classroom teaching examples.

Intensionality and Propositionalism

Propositionalism is the view that all intensional constructions (including nominal and clausal attitude reports) can be interpreted as relations to truth-evaluable propositional content. While propositionalism has long been silently assumed in semantics and the philosophy of language, it has only recently entered center stage in linguistic research. This article surveys the properties of intensional constructions, which require the introduction of fine-grained semantic values (intensions). It contrasts two ways of obtaining such values: through the introduction of either Russellian propositions or Frege-Church-style senses. The article identifies propositionalism with a specific variant of the Russellian strategy, reviews key arguments for propositionalism, and compares familiar varieties of propositionalism on the basis of instructive examples. It closes by discussing various challenges for propositionalism and suggesting a generalization of propositionalism that meets some of these challenges. Because of the association of propositions with semantic information, the article also addresses the more general question of whether all information content (including mental and pictorial content) is propositional.

Practice and Reflection on Integrated Teaching of Picture Books and Main Textbooks in Primary School English

In the teaching of English subjects in primary schools, picture books are the eyes and expansion of relatively small contents. The combination of English picture books and teaching materials can effectively innovate the teaching methods of English education, better adapt to the rules of students' language knowledge, fully stimulate students' interest in English learning, and enable students to feel the happiness brought by English learning. It plays an important role in promoting the reform of English teaching. In order to better explore the methods and strategies of integrated teaching of picture books and main textbooks in primary school English, this study will conduct in-depth and detailed analysis on the significance and existing problems of integrated teaching of picture books and main textbooks in primary school English, and explore how to effectively integrate picture books and textbooks in combination with teaching examples in primary school English. In order to promote students' language ability, thinking quality and other aspects of the core quality of English.
