Teaching-Learning Optimization Algorithm Based on the Cadre-Mass Relationship with Tutor Mechanism for Solving Complex Optimization Problems.

The teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm, which has gained popularity among scholars for addressing practical issues, suffers from several drawbacks including slow convergence speed, susceptibility to local optima, and suboptimal performance. To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a novel algorithm called the teaching-learning optimization algorithm, based on the cadre-mass relationship with the tutor mechanism (TLOCTO). Building upon the original teaching foundation, this algorithm incorporates the characteristics of class cadre settings and extracurricular learning institutions. It proposes a new learner strategy, cadre-mass relationship strategy, and tutor mechanism. The experimental results on 23 test functions and CEC-2020 benchmark functions demonstrate that the enhanced algorithm exhibits strong competitiveness in terms of convergence speed, solution accuracy, and robustness. Additionally, the superiority of the proposed algorithm over other popular optimizers is confirmed through the Wilcoxon signed rank-sum test. Furthermore, the algorithm's practical applicability is demonstrated by successfully applying it to three complex engineering design problems.

Science4Exit Project - Experimental Escape Games with Digital Enrichment in an Extracurricular Learning Venue

Exit games, escape games or escape rooms are innovative formats for teaching chemistry and for learning and applying scientific content. In the project "Science4Exit" experimental escape games with digital enrichment are developed, tested and evaluated. They will be carried out in the teaching and learning laboratory of chemistry at the University of Education in Weingarten.
 One of the project's goals is to increase pupil’s motivation for science topics and interest in STEM subjects, as well as to improve the application of knowledge acquired in school. It also promotes 21st century skills (creativity, collaboration, communication, critical thinking and problem-solving) by embedding them in a game-based context. When playing escape games in the chemistry teaching and learning laboratory Ex³lab, experimental ways of knowing and solving are essential to reach the goal. As in classical or combinatorial puzzles, the result of an experiment is needed to unlock the next challenge. Escape games are partly digitally guided (e.g. by Actionbound, H5P) or digitally enriched with different technologies as needed (AR, explanatory videos, etc.). The Escape Games developed are used so that pupils can deal with scientific content in a playful and experimental way during a visit to the teaching and learning laboratory. They are supervised by student teachers as part of their studies. An escape game on energy supply and climate protection as well as building blocks for further developed escape games are presented below.

Curricular and Extracurricular Learning among Students with Resilience Potential. Social Inequalities in Higher Education

Does resilience potential in higher education mature into success or does it remain merely a promise of success due to rising social inequality? We studied curricular and extracurricular learning of students with outstanding academic achievement who entered higher education despite their disadvantage of social background (= students with resilience potential). A student survey database compiled in the research project “Higher Education for Social Cohesion – Cooperative Research and Development in a Cross-border Area” (HERD) (HURO/0901/253/2.2.2.) in 2012 was analyzed. Students of three Eastern Hungarian higher education institutions were surveyed (N = 1205). Students with resilience potential were identified in the intersection of two groups of variables: social background and input academic achievement. We have conducted a cluster analysis, which has resulted in the identification of students with resilience potential and other researched groups: drifters (low social background and low input academic achievement), beneficiaries (high social background and high academic achievement) and indifferent prodigals (high social background and low academic achievement). To sum up our results, the students with resilience potential only use higher education to fulfill curricular requirements, and hit a ceiling, compared to the beneficiaries, when it comes to the student year mining, meaningful extracurricular activities. Thus social inequalities crawl through these invisible channels into higher education and beyond.

Formation and Consolidation of Research Seedbeds: A Systematic Literature Review

Formative research, in the context of the teaching-learning processes of higher educational institutions, is a pedagogical strategy in which professors and students participate, using research as a teaching strategy for students to develop discovery-based learning. Formative research includes various strategies, such as the implementation of research seedbeds. Research seedbeds are communities of extracurricular learning and voluntary participation, wherein students, through a guided and progressive exercise, develop competencies for research through training activities, extracurricular workshops and research projects. This systematic literature review focuses on research seedbeds as a pedagogical strategy within the context of the formative research of higher educational institutions. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology, this paper covers 17 articles published in Scopus and Web of Science databases. The analysis of the current state of knowledge about research seedbeds allows the identification of the critical factors for the formation and consolidation of research seedbeds. Based on the literature review, these factors have been grouped into the following dimensions: (i) factors related to the formation of research seedbeds; (ii) factors related to the organization of research seedbeds; (iii) factors related to the dynamics of the management of research seedbeds; and (iii) factors related to the stakeholders of research seedbeds (institution, professor/tutor and students). Additionally, the study suggests several directions for further research in this domain.

Nursing students' perceptions of teaching health care to LGBTQIA+ people

Objective: to analyze nursing students' perceptions about their professional training for health care of LGBTQIA+ people. Methods: qualitative study, conducted with 19 nursing students through semi-structured interviews. Data were processed and worked through lexical analysis using IRaMuTeQ® software. Results: the textual corpus gave rise to two categories: professional nursing training on health of LGBTQIA+ people (subdivided into: curricular spaces addressing health of LGBTQIA+ people and Formative deficits for health care of LGBTQIA+ people) and Extracurricular spaces of professional training on health of LGBTQIA+ people (subdivided into: informal and extracurricular learning on health of LGBTQIA+ people and Work context and autonomy in learning about LGBTQIA+ health). Conclusion: addressing the health of LGBTQIA+ people in the training of nurses needs to expand beyond specific classes, which demands the creation of spaces within the curricular matrices that address the specificities required by this population, without, however, relegating them to extracurricular activities. Contributions to practice: problematization of the training of nurses for the health care of LGBTQIA+ people.

Countercurricular rhetorical education: reimagining the university from the inside out

ABSTRACT This essay articulates the theoretical basis for my term “countercurricular,” which denotes college students’ use of curricular and extracurricular learning to craft alternative or oppositional views. The countercurricular highlights how student organizers mobilize history to change the present, especially to inscribe into public memory recurring conflicts between students and university administrations. I examine documents related to the Black Student Union at the University of California, Irvine, and discuss teaching this activist history. Through these textual and pedagogical examples, I demonstrate how countercurricular rhetorical education orients our understanding of how students challenge the oppressions upon which the university is built.

ANALISIS KESIAPAN GURU MI/SD DALAM MENGHADAPI KURIKULUM MERDEKA

The purpose of this research is to find out how prepared MI/SD teachers are in facing the Independent Curriculum. This study used a questionnaire distributed via Google Form to collect quantitative and descriptive data. The consequence of this research is that educators need to know various things before integrating self-education plans into learning exercises, for example there are three types of learning exercises in the Free Education program: Learning outside the classroom; Pancasila Student Profile Project; extracurricular learning. The educational program structure for determining study hours is written all at once for one year. The idea of the percentage of study hours per follow-up is based on a standard or week-by-week premise. Independent Curriculum Core Competencies (KI) must then be transformed into Teaching Modules, Learning Outcomes (CP), and Learning Objectives Flow (ATP). To ensure that education programs can be implemented successfully and provide significant growth opportunities in stages, it requires the commitment of school foundations to provide adequate support and capital to educators

ASSESSMENT AND ASSESSMENT IN HYBRID EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Since the beginning of the 20th century, technology and mass media have become effective in all areas of rapidly developed life. For this reason, access to information has gained diversity and speed. The inability of the current education and training methods to reach this speed has led societies to question teaching methods and materials and to new searches. As a result, a new paradigm has emerged in education. The education model that emerges as a necessity and is the subject of discussion is "distance education". In our research, content analysis was carried out within the scope of qualitative data analysis in order to evaluate the difficulties and opportunities encountered in the Measurement and Evaluation in Hybrid Education, which is a dimension of the distance education model. An interview form was applied to 30 teachers. Despite the opportunities provided by technological tools in accessing information, we think that distance education has lost its attractiveness in a very short time. For now, it does not seem possible for this method, which is used in many countries due to the Covit 19 Pandemic, to replace formal education. Providing students' attention and attention, technical problems (connection problems due to infrastructure), organizing extracurricular learning activities, preventing cheating in exams, difficulties in focusing on both the classroom and online participants at the same time in hybrid lessons. The fact that the tablets provided by the Ministry of National Education are disproportionate to the number of students and that the tablets are not compatible with the required computer programs have also made distance education difficult.

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF LEADERS AT INTEGRATED MADRASAH ALIYAH (MA) OF DARUL AMAL KARANGANYAR CONCERNING RELIGIOUS MODERATION POLICIES

This study aims to analyze the leadership's understanding of religious moderation and the way madrasah leaders construct their students to become moderate Muslims. This research was phenomenological qualitative research. The results of this study are that the leadership's thinking greatly influences the character of the santri. If the leader has a radical understanding, then the santri (students) will have a radical character, while the leader who has a moderate understanding will also become a moderate Muslim. The leadership of the Darul Amal Integrated Supreme Court has a good understanding of religious moderation. From this understanding, madrasa leaders implement indicators of religious moderation through habituation, curricula, and extracurricular learning. So that students have moderate character and become a habit in everyday life.
