Experiential, perceptual, and cognitive individual differences in the development of declarative and automatized phonological vocabulary knowledge

Abstract The present study explores the influence of individual differences in experience, perceptual acuity, and working memory on the development of both declarative and automatized aspects of L2 phonological vocabulary knowledge. A total of 486 Japanese English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) students took part in two vocabulary tests designed to measure declarative (meaning recognition) and automatized knowledge (lexicosemantic judgement task). Their performance was tied to the quantity and quality of their EFL experience, as well as their scores in auditory processing and working memory. While several significant, modest correlations between experience, aptitude, and vocabulary outcomes were observed, certain predictor variables were uniquely associated with either declarative or automatized vocabulary performance. Specifically, individuals with more extensive, typically language-focused EFL training and greater working memory demonstrated higher levels of declarative knowledge. Conversely, those who pursued extracurricular practice outside the classroom – exposing themselves to auditory materials and/or participating in study-abroad experiences – showed a more automatic execution of vocabulary knowledge.

Research on Innovation and Application of “Process Drama” in Teaching and Extracurricular Practice

With the promulgation and implementation of China’s double reduction policy and art curriculum reform policy, there has been a new shift in the field of education, from exam oriented education to comprehensive development education for students, with the goal of holistic development. The innovative teaching model of “process drama” aims to promote the comprehensive development of students, using the popular “script murder” as a carrier to carry out teaching activities that promote ideological and political education in courses, cultivate students’ cross-cultural communication skills, and guide them to tell Chinese stories well in English.

The use of the Criterion automated assessment system in teaching students of language specialties to write essays in a foreign language: the results of an experimental test

Importance. Modern artificial intelligence (AI) tools are able to take on some of a foreign language teacher’s functions, thereby optimizing the learning process. One of these is the teacher’s function of checking and evaluating students’ written papers (essays). There are works in the scientific literature describing step-by-step methods of teaching students to write essays in a foreign language, including individual extracurricular practice of students with an AI tool during the completion of the essay’s draft version. Based on receiving evaluative feedback from the AI tool, students can refine their essays in linguistic, structural and substantive aspects. The Criterion automated assessment system for written papers is one of the modern AI tools that can be used in teaching. However, checking the effectiveness of this system is not the subject of a separate study. The purpose of the study is to clarify the stages of teaching students of language specialties to write essays in a foreign language using evaluative feedback from the Criterion automated assessment system and to test the effectiveness of this technique during experimental training.Materials and Methods. The study participants are 2nd year students of the specialty 45.05.01 “Translation and Translation Studies” of the Lipetsk State Technical University (control group = 25 and experimental group = 25). The students of the control group studied according to the traditional essay teaching methodology, excluding the use of AI tools, and the experimental group participants studied according to an innovative methodology, including individual extracurricular practice of students with the Criterion system in order to receive evaluative feedback for the completion of the essay. The following aspects of control are: a) the lexical side of written speech; b) the grammatical side of written speech; c) the organizational structure of the work; d) the content of the work.Results and Discussion. It is proved that the innovative method of teaching students to write essays, based on the integration of the Criterion automated essay assessment system into the learning process, is more effective than the traditional method in mastering students a) the organizational structure of the essay (t = 2.82 at p = 0.004) and b) the content side of creative work (t = 3.05 at p = 0.002). However, statistical analysis of the results do not confirm the advantage of the innovative technique in the formation of lexical (t = 1.44 at p = 0.08) and grammatical (t = 1.36 at p = 0.09) speech skills of students of a language university.Conclusion. The novelty of the research consists in developing the stages of teaching students to write an essay based on practice with the Criterion automated control system in order to receive evaluative feedback for the completion of the essay. The results obtained can be used in the methodology of teaching secondary school students and university students in teaching writing.

THE ROLE OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF AN ISLAMIC-VALUE-BASED SCHOOL

Extracurricular activities are school-based initiatives aimed at developing the abilities of students, not only in terms of skill enhancement but also in gaining insights and knowledge while helping to shape the character of participants in their respective fields. In managing the school environment with an Islamic value system, there are inevitably numerous shortcomings. These may include a tight schedule for extracurricular practices, insufficient facilities, and a lack of maintenance for extracurricular inventories. It's not only the extracurricular activities that need attention; the factors influencing school environmental management must also be upheld. This ensures the execution of attitudes, the observance of rules, and adherence to school regulations. Similarly, implementing Islamic values places the responsibility on students to engage in religious activities while at school. This practice serves to facilitate a smoother workflow during various school activities, both inside and outside the classroom.
 This research aims to explore the role of extracurricular activities in the school environment management that implements Islamic values at Perguruan Rakyat 2 High School in Pondok Kelapa, East Jakarta. The application of Islamic values, encompassing faith (akidah), worship (ibadah), and morality (akhlak), serves as a foundational aspect of Islamic character education. These values are not only integrated into the formal learning process but also extend to various other activities within the educational institution. The successful implementation of these Islamic values relies on the support of educators or school authorities who are enthusiastic about reinforcing Islamic character education. Their dedication plays a crucial role in instilling these values, ensuring that they become ingrained in the character of students at Perguruan Rakyat 2 High School in Jakarta. This integration is achieved through a combination of structured learning activities and other engagements within the educational institution.
 The method employed in this research is a qualitative approach, specifically using a descriptive type. The research findings indicate that the application of Islamic values, in the form of written words derived from the obtained data sources, utilizes the Case Studies method. The aim is to obtain a comprehensive and in-depth overview. The results of this study reveal the roles of Islamic Education teachers and other educators in extracurricular activities within the school's environmental management that implements Islamic values at Perguruan Rakyat 2 High School in Jakarta. The development of extracurricular activities and the environmental management of the school, incorporating Islamic values, are found to be progressing well. This is attributed to the active involvement and optimal performance of Islamic Education teachers and other educators. The Case Studies method proves effective in providing a complete and nuanced understanding of the overall scenario.

Method for education value evaluation with regional culture integration into international students’ ideological education under fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy environment

For thousands of years, the Chinese people have accumulated and inherited profound cultural traditions. The uniqueness of this cultural tradition lies in its amazing creative wisdom and power. “The ideological and political education of the integration of Chinese regional culture into international students refers to the educative influence of excellent regional culture that can run through the entire international education management system, curriculum system and extracurricular practice system to achieve “all-round, full-process, full-staff” Education goals. The sustainable education value evaluation based on the integration of regional culture into international students’ ideological education is a classical multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) issue. In this paper, we extend the geometric Heronian mean (GHM) operator to fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (FNIFNs) to propose the fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy GHM (FNIFGHM) operator. Then, the multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods are built on FNIFGHM operator. Finally, a numerical example for sustainable education value evaluation based on the integration of regional culture into international students’ ideological education and some comparative analysis are used to prove the built methods’ credibility and reliability.

We can draw the following conclusions from the research. Firstly, the comprehensive ability of foreign language majors can be divided into four aspects including ideological cultivation, physical and mental quality, and vocational skills. Secondly, excellent foreign language majors cultivate their comprehensive quality mainly through association work, interpersonal communication, professional learning and extracurricular practice. Thirdly, in the comprehensive quality cultivation system for foreign language majors, there are four sectors consisting of ideological-cultivation, habit-formation, talented-leading and targeted-education. Taking discipline as the core elements, colleges and universities should combine foreign language with various cultivation elements so as to promote the comprehensive development of foreign languages majors.

Potential impact on student autonomy through the organization of feedback

The article provides an overview of recent Russian and foreign research on feedback. Specifically, it traces the transition from a focus on teacher actions and feedback content to a focus on the student. In the modern paradigm, successful feedback is allied with the subsequent actions of the recipient. In 2012, Paul Sutton introduced the concept of feedback literacy, laying the foundation for further research aimed at identifying personal qualities for effective work with feedback. Over the decade since Sutton’s work was published, the concept of feedback literacy has been conceptualized, its main components have been identified, and an instrument for measuring it has been developed and validated. Currently, research continues on the relationship between feedback perception and agency, and this article contributes to the discussion by summarizing accumulated data on the necessary characteristics of actors and feedback to ensure that feedback leads to goal attainment: changes in academic and extracurricular practices which lead to success. The article raises the question of how feedback is related to students’ agency and under what conditions feedback is most effective. The article also identifies existing deficits, particularly the lack of practical tools to improve students’ quality of work with feedback.

Resiliencia académica en tiempos de pandemia por COVID-19: las prácticas curriculares en los Grados de Trabajo Social de las universidades españolas

COVID-19 created widespread uncertainty among lecturers, students, professionals and institutions participating in compulsory practicums as a component of Social Work undergraduate programmes in Spain. In this paper we analyse this issue in relation to Spanish universities, with particular reference to the University of Vigo. By collecting and evaluating qualitative data on various levels, we describe the current situation and discuss the responses of university teams responsible for coordinating compulsory practicums to manage both the state of alarm and the progressive elimination of available places in academic years prior to the pandemic. In this context of uncertainty among all the actors involved, we observe that distance learning is being implemented, face-to-face practicums are being eliminated, and teaching guides are being adapted while extracurricular practices, tutorials, and individual or small-group seminars are being validated. We conclude that all the actors involved have been able to adapt and react in resilient fashion. We also conclude that the experience may be an opportunity to begin a debate on the importance of inclu- ding Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching and learning process for future Social Work professionals.

Physical education teaching in Italian primary school: theoretical lines and operational proposals

Background and Study aim. For the new reform to be applied in the best possible way, it is a priority and useful to promote the development of knowledge on the organization and methods of teaching/learning in physical education in primary school. This study aims to search for a new didactic organizational model for physical education in primary school, starting from the theoretical lines, showing the contrasts of the significant aspects and the uniqueness of heuristic learning, with a consequent theoretical and argumentative elaboration of operational proposals.
 Material and Methods. For this purpose, an accurate survey of the scientific literature has been analyzed, highlighting the critical issues that characterized the various proposals and attempt to implement physical activity and sports education courses in primary school over the years, up to the recent legislative innovation.
 Results. The path of the definition of physical education in primary school was marked by stages that did not always enhance the educational and training dimension of the motor and sports experience, making the school discipline assume a marginal and optional role in the face of an extracurricular practice characterized by a widespread organization and more capable of intercepting and responding to the physical exercise and sport needs of society. This complex situation has only generated confusion without solving the problem of the absence of physical and sporting activity in the 5-10 age group, as required by the World Health Organization and the European Union, by adequately and uniquely qualified teachers. It is now useful to promote the development of knowledge on the didactic organization of the primary school, on the different teaching/learning methods in physical education, to contextualize the scope of the new legal provision to the current legal framework
 Conclusions. The study highlights the value of a new approach in teacher training that aims to ensure the acquisition of key competence, according to the Recommendation of the European Parliament. This perspective can be easily realized by using a core curriculum uniformly applied at the national level.

Research on Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Model in Colleges and Universities Based on The Integration of Specialty and Innovation

With the introduction of the educational concepts of "innovation and entrepreneurship" education and "three comprehensive education" in colleges and universities, different colleges and universities have also begun to introduce extracurricular entrepreneurship practice cases and information-based dual-creation service platforms in the teaching activities of subject curriculum content. And developed a complete set of systematic "integration of innovation and integration" teaching plan. From the perspective of "integration of specialization and innovation" in the construction of disciplines and majors, the integration of production and education and school-enterprise cooperation education in different disciplines in colleges and universities should be based on the teaching system of "integration of specialization and innovation" and the information-based innovation and entrepreneurship service platform. Under the integrated teaching situation, reform and innovate the original classroom teaching content and education mode, strengthen the problem exploration and interactive communication between teachers and students, and focus on the cultivation of students' innovative and entrepreneurial awareness, theoretical and practical skills, so as to solve the problem of professional knowledge teaching. The contradictions in the demand of social talents.

Analysis of College Students' Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Psychological Quality From the Perspective of Ideological and Political Education.

The purpose is to meet the needs of social development, encourage college students’ employability, and alleviate social pressure. First, the domestic and international employment situation is discussed along with the derivation of entrepreneurship education. Second, ideological and political education is summarized, and accordingly, its internal advantages and external conditions are explained. Then, the current situation and existing problems of entrepreneurship education in Chinese higher education institutions are analyzed from the perspectives of entrepreneurship ideology, entrepreneurship thinking, and entrepreneurship ability. Consequently, a proposal is put forward to integrate entrepreneurship education into ideological and political education to promote the coordinated development of the multidisciplinary course. Finally, the Questionnaire Survey (QS) is designed on the relationship between college students’ entrepreneurship education and ideological and political education, and the QS is conducted from three aspects: college students’ entrepreneurship views, suggestions, and cognition of the ideological and political education. The QS results show that less than 10% of students are very interested in entrepreneurship education, and most students believe that entrepreneurship education plays a very limited role in their growth. Additionally, classroom teaching accounts for the most in entrepreneurship education, while extracurricular practice accounts for only 15%. In terms of teaching content, 80% of students believe that teachers of professional courses have made outstanding contributions to teaching results, but the number of teachers of professional courses is the least among all teachers. Further, the satisfaction of entrepreneurship education among college students is analyzed through the QS by issuing to three local higher education institutions, finding that the college students’ understanding of entrepreneurship education is incomplete. The advantages of ideological and political education should be fully exerted to improve the recognition of entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurship education should be integrated into daily teaching content. In this way, entrepreneurship education and ideological and political education can be fused, and entrepreneurship education can promote students’ entrepreneurial ability and entrepreneurial thinking.

ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ЦИФРОВОГО УЧЕБНО-МЕТОДИЧЕСКОГО КОМПЛЕКСА «ШКОЛА SKILLS. PRO ПРОФЕССИИ» В РАБОТЕ ПО ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОМУ САМООПРЕДЕЛЕНИЮ СТАРШЕКЛАССНИКОВ

Statement of the problem. Often, due to the lack of knowledge about the world of professions, the divergent influence of the family, school and the media in matters of professional identification, the lack of high-quality professional information, the lack of practical experience in professional activities, high school graduates cannot accurately determine the stages of further education, that is, build an individual educational route of professional identification. To increase the efficiency of the process of professional identification of a high school graduate, assistance is required not only in choosing a profession, but also in finding resources to develop and implement an adequate educational and professional scenario, as well as in training in the independent use of these resources. Today’s digital technologies are of help. The purpose of the article is to present (reveal) the capabilities of the digital educational and methodological complex “School skills. Pro Professions” in the work on vocational guidance and professional identification of high school students in an interactive environment. The methodological basis of the study includes the works by E.A. Klimov, N.S. Pryazhnikov, S.N. Chistyakova and other Russian and foreign researchers (S. Fukuyama, J. Golland, E. Bern). Professional identification of a person is defined as a conscious process of building a personal professional plan when choosing a profession on the basis of analysis, assessment of the internal resources of the subject of choice, correlation with the requirements of the profession, as well as the readiness of the person for professional choice. Professional identification is connected with the formation of components of the psychological system of professional formation and realization of personality on the basis of knowledge/self-knowledge and assessment/self-assessment of social and professional requirements, conditions of professionalization and individual capabilities of the subject of work. Research results. The article reveals the possibilities of the digital educational and methodological complex “School skills. Pro Profession” in the work on vocational guidance and professional identification of high school students in an interactive environment. Digital Educational and Methodological Complex (DEMC) is presented as a structured set of educational tools, electronic normative and educational documentation, a set of electronic educational resources, information and communication technology tools and automated systems containing interconnected content and intended for joint use by participants for effective training in programmes for the development of soft skills, as well as studying up educational subjects, courses, disciplines on professional identification in the context of digital transformation of the educational process. Conclusions. The introduction of information technologies in such a field of development of high school students as a choice of a future profession creates conditions for strengthening the integration of educational and subject areas with extracurricular practice, additional education, strengthening the specialized training of schoolchildren on the basis of variability of programmes, taking into account their interests, inclinations, abilities and demands of the labour market, gaining practical experience for a reasonable choice of a training profile, which ensures the effectiveness of high school students building an individual route of professional identification.
