The purpose of this research is to assess the intensity of usefulness of technology in the form of PlantNet software on the idea and process (procedural) abilities of students in the topic of variety of living things after three practical activities. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a control and experimental group of 32 students each. This study focuses on the aspects of the idea and process/procedural responses provided by students after attending th(Prastyo et al., 2021)e practicum with and without the PlantNet software. The findings of the SPSS software study utilizing the unpaired t test (2-tailed) generated by the PlantNet program were able to substantially increase students' conceptual skills (sig. 0.0124 < 0,05) and process/procedural abilities (nilai sig. 0.02523 < 0,05). Further study is intended to examine motivation and gender relatedness to mastery of technologies employed during practicum.

Profile of science research idea of students of elementary school teacher program in basic natural science

The purpose of this study is to describe the profile of student science research. The research was conducted on primary school teacher education (PSTE) students at the University of Mataram. The sample consisted of 111 students determined using the purposive sampling method. The data on student science research ideas are in the form of the research titles they propose. The collection is done using the documentation method. A qualitative analysis was carried out using three criteria, namely the suitability of the topic of the diversity of living things, the correctness of the editorial title, and the urgency of the variables studied to determine the quality of each title. Some of the findings in this study include: (1) there are research ideas that are appropriate (64.86%) and not suitable (35.14%) for the topic of the diversity of living things, (2) from the number of titles that are appropriate to the topic, most of them have the right editorial (68.06%), and (3) of the titles that have the right editorial, only 10.20% have the study variables have urgency. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that students' scientific research ideas that have good quality in terms of conformity to the topic of biodiversity, the accuracy of the editorial title, and the urgency of the variables studied are only a small part. However, 44.14% of the overall research ideas can still be continued to the research stage, and writing the results in scientific papers. This conclusion indicates that massive and continuous efforts and real actions are needed to minimize students' shortcomings, weaknesses, and constraints to have sufficient competence or above.

Access Provision for Students with Reading Disabilities (SRDs) in Nigerian University Libraries

This paper examines the accessibility options for SRDs in university libraries in Nigeria. Access to the library's information resources is a benchmark for effectively utilizing information resources and services and fulfilling information demands for the educational growth of people within a community. Students that struggle with reading and it affect their capacity to learn are students with reading disabilities. University libraries should support and encourage scholarly work and research in all areas of human endeavor, regardless of ability or disability. As a result, this paper explores the idea of students with reading disabilities (SRDs), their traits, and the responsibility of university libraries in Nigeria in supporting SRDs. The article looks at the discrepancies between accessible and necessary information sources and the difficulties Nigerian university libraries experience in bridging such gaps and presents pertinent suggestions for improving access to SRDs.

Академическая мобильность студентов: ценности, установки и социальные практики на Юге России

Relevance: Academic mobility, as a special type of movement for the purpose of ed-ucational and scientific practices, is one of the mechanisms of self-regulation of the learning process of Russian students. In the South of Russia, expanding the prospects for intra-university and intra-Russian academic mobility contributes to improving the quality of education, creating a unified intellectual environment and promoting tour-ism practices. Scientific problem: A critical analysis of the scientific literature has shown that the scientific literature has not yet considered how the prevailing ideas about education and values affect students' attitudes to academic mobility. The pur-pose of this study was to identify the features of attitudes and social practices of ac-ademic mobility of Russian students, limited by formal external barriers existing in universities in the South of Russia. Methods: The theory of mental programs is used to study the concepts of education as a value, attitudes and social practices of aca-demic mobility. The analysis is based on the study of significant relationships of vari-ables through the Chi-square criterion. Research results: Attitudes to intra-university mobility are highest among students with pragmatic views, although, in general, ideas about education have little effect on intra-university mobility. Students with con-servative ideas show a great attitude to the practices of intra-Russian mobility, see them as an educational value. While students with liberal and pragmatic views believe that this may interfere with their studies at their native university or they are not in-terested in it. Most students have an attitude to international mobility, but do not have the financial opportunity for it. The number of implemented social practices is largely due to external factors, that is, the opportunities that exist in the universities of the Rostov region and the Republic of Crimea, as well as the state of academic mobility in Russian higher education in general. Conclusions: Academic mobility of students in Russia is of particular importance for improving the quality of higher edu-cation in the country. The student youth in the South of Russia, showing a high de-gree of self-regulation, demonstrates high attitudes to all types of academic mobility. However, the nature of attitudes is largely determined by the conservative and liberal ideas of students that have developed in the process of social programming.

A STUDY ON INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES TO FOSTER TEACHER – STUDENT INTERACTION IN EFL TERTIARY READING COMPREHENSION CLASSES

This qualitative case study presents how teacher - student interaction in EFL tertiary reading comprehension classes can be fostered with interactive activities (IAs). The purpose was to explore how IAs were deployed to improve the EFL tertiary students’ reading comprehension skill; in other words, the study aimed at finding out the teacher talk as interactive activities in teaching reading comprehension (RC). A female teacher majoring in RC was the participant of this study. Data were collected through classroom observation with her teaching reading comprehension process. In addition, supporting data were also added from audio-visual materials were used in observing process. The data were deeply analyzed on the basis of the Foreign Language Interaction Analysis (FLINT) model in Brown (2001). Findings showed that all of 11 categories of teacher talk in FLINT appeared in the study. They were (1) dealing with feeling, (2) praising and encouraging, (3) joking, (4) using ideas of students, (5) repeating students verbatim, (6) asking questions, (7) giving information, (8) correcting without rejection, (9) giving directions, (10) criticizing student behavior, and (11) criticizing student response with different frequency. Among with “praising and encouraging” was mostly used activity and “criticizing students’ response” was the least commonly used one. Furthermore, the study highlighted the potential value of considering teacher talk as interactive activities since it was found meaningful to initiate the teacher – student interaction in RC class, and to foster students’ RC skill.

Talk moves as pedagogical tools for eliciting and working with student ideas in an undergraduate general biology laboratory

AbstractEliciting student thinking as resources for learning is central to productive sense making. Educators use pedagogical tools such as talk moves to direct classroom conversations toward and sometimes away from student learning. This mixed methods study describes how teaching assistants (TAs) use talk moves as pedagogical tools to elicit and work with student ideas in an undergraduate general biology laboratory course. We combined mixed‐effects modeling with micro‐level analyses of discourse using conversation analysis to describe quantitative relationships and qualitative sequencing in how TAs used ambitious and conservative talk moves to meet the pedagogical goals of a planned elicitation discussion. The two major contributions of this study are: (1) the specification of the relationship between the two parts of the TA talk move/student contribution adjacency pair in the context of elicitation discussions and (2) describing sequences of talk moves and other factors that provide insight to features of more or less rigorous elicitation discussions. These contributions have implications for future research to test hypotheses based on the qualitative findings and for informing TA professional development focused on elicitation discussions. We conclude with a discussion around common considerations in instructional decision making in light of the findings.

The Influence of Big Data and Information Fusion Innovative Technology in College Students’ Ideological and Political Education

Big data on the Internet has brought another way of thinking to college students’ ideological and political research. Teachers in higher education can make full use of the ability of big data in acquiring, storing, managing, and analyzing to innovate ideological and political education work. University faculty can improve their careers, ensuring that university education and politics are scientifically sound and efficient. To explore the modernization of college student ideological and political research in the age of Internet big data, this research usually begins with data that attracts college students and explores college student ideas and culture in a variety of ways. I received the information. Therefore, in the current Internet big data era, the innovation of the current college students’ ideological and political education work is deeply analyzed. The current traditional single “indoctrination” theory education can hardly continue to play a strong role. Therefore, starting from the actual requirements of college students, this paper puts forward a new point of view on the choice of educational methods. From the current survey, it is found that college students are still more inclined to choose the method of classroom teaching. Below the significant level of 0.05, the tolerance is greater than 0.1 and the variance expansion factor VIF is both. It is the smallest in the vicinity of 1. Therefore, the more the college students prefer classroom teaching and the way of receiving information from the mass media, the better the effect of traditional ideological and political education and network.

The key components of the information space are considered as factors that have a sustainable impact on the content and structure of the historical memory of young Russian citizens. The basis of empirical data was the materials of three sociological studies conducted by the authors during 2021-2022.

VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT WITH MOBILE DEVICES AND APPLICATIONS

One of the crucial aspects of language is vocabulary. When learning a new language, having a big vocabulary helps with receiving and producing messages, as well as supporting four basic skills of language. Vocabulary teaching approaches have altered far too much in the language acquisition process. In the language teaching process, many different strategies have been used, and new ones are being developed all the time. Words were previously taught alongside their translation or synonym, and the teaching strategy was Grammar-translation; however, as the teaching method has evolved and the Communicative Approach has gained traction, the vocabulary teaching method has evolved as well. With flashes and pictures, the kids were taught words in context. With technology improvements, vocabulary teaching practices have improved. First Vocabulary is taught via computer games and activities when computers have started to be used in the classrooms during Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) process. In the present period, many vocabulary-learning applications for cell phones, tablets, and laptops have been developed. It is a relatively recent approach to exploit mobile technology and internet-based vocabulary teaching programs to teach vocabulary. Mobile devices were started to be used for educational reasons which caused the birth of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL). On the App Store and Google Play, there are thousands of vocabulary-building apps. Some of these programs are drill-based, while others are context-based. One of the most popular video-based methods for teaching vocabulary is YouTube. Teachers can use the Google Classroom application to teach vocabulary in virtual classrooms. Kahoot and wordwall are two recent popular programs for creating a variety of interesting vocabulary challenges. This research analyses the ideas of prep class students at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University for the usage of mobile applications in vocabulary development.

Prospective teachers’ thinking through realistic mathematics education based emergent modeling in fractions

The unconsciousness of a teacher in obtaining knowledge due to students can be known if the teacher was notified when he was a student. A student has an essential role in learning, and the teacher is responsible for supporting smooth learning. Students' problem-solving processes need to be found because each student's reasoning and ideas in solving problems are different. This study focuses on students' thinking processes using realistic mathematics education based on emergent modeling. In this study, the researcher is the teacher, and the student is the prospective teacher. The prospective teacher involved were students of the Institut Pendidikan Indonesia mathematics study program. Prospective teachers were selected as research subjects for as many as 74 people (11 males and 63 females) consisting of 3 classes. The research method uses descriptive qualitative. As learning activities progress, students get a kind of model that seems as solutions to solving problems given by the teacher. Various kinds of models emerged from various student ideas and ended with a mutually agreed for a model for. Through this study, a teacher can learn about student models in the learning process.

The Use of the Treagust Strategy to Promote Enthusiasm for Learning Science Subjects and the Growth of Scientific Ideas in Primary School Students

This study examines the effect of the Treagust strategy on the development of an understanding of science concepts in Saudi primary school students and on developing an understanding of science concepts in Saudi primary school students and promoting their motivation to learn science. A quasi-experimental design (i.e., one experimental group) was adopted, and pre- and post-learning measurements were administered. The sample consisted of 13 fifth-grade students. The instruments tools of the study were the Science Achievement Test and the Motivation towards Learning Science Scale. The overall results indicated that the programme was effective in improving effectively improved science achievement, as there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the pre- and post-learning measurements at the 0.01 level in the MCQ test, favoring the post-learning measurement. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found between the pre- and post-learning measurements in the dimensions of self-esteem, performance, and achievement; the only insignificant subscale was the value of learning science. The research concludes with a presentation and discussion of recommendations and future research topics in light of the findings.

Why Do Students Still Plagiarize? Perceptions of EFL and Non-EFL Students on Plagiarism

This paper is an investigation on the perception of Kurdish EFL and non-EFL students on plagiarism, as well as the causes that make students resort to it. A group of students participated in the research paper who were enrolled in different departments at one of the universities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The data was collected through a questionnaire followed by interviews to get a better understanding of the phenomenon in question. The findings of the current study show that there is a misconception about the idea of plagiarism and students mostly consider copying and pasting material as plagiarism. This led to the understanding that paraphrasing does not really constitute plagiarism, and that shows that the issue is limited to the stealing of words not ideas in most cases. The results also show that there are a number of other factors that lead students to resort to plagiarism, including lack of time, lack of understanding of the concept, language skills, high school education background, workload and lack of critical thinking skills.

PROFESSIONAL CAREER, SUCCESS AND HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE VALUE SYSTEM OF REGIONAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS (BASED ON THE SOCIOLOGICAL SURVEY MATERIALS)

The relevance of studying the ideas of the regional university students about professional success, career, and the role of education is due to the fact that the choice of professional journey, building a future career in the educational process among modern students remains rather low. At the same time, the problem of personnel outflow in the regions of Russia is regularly discussed at all levels of government bodies and in the scientific community. The purpose of this article is to study the ideas of modern students of a regional university about professional success, career and education. The authors suggest that the research data can help clarify the ideas about the value orientations of modern student youth, study various aspects related to the career of young people, and contribute to the construction of career strategies for young people. Since it is young people who play the main role in the professional reproduction of society, the study of the career strategies of young people can make it possible to develop career guidance work at school and university. The given article considers some questions of the survey conducted in November - December 2020. 111 students of humanities field, 65 – natural science field and 80 – technical field were interviewed. Selection criteria were faculty (humanitarian and technical) and course (3-4 courses of bachelor's degree). The research was carried out by the method of group questioning in classrooms. The survey involved young men (41.8%) and girls (58.2%), aged 18-19 (10.9%); 20-21 years old (82.8%); 22 years and older – 6.3% of respondents. We were interested in the question of the motives for choosing a profession by students. Having analyzed the motives, we were able to identify those factors that influence the choice of a particular profession by applicants. Overall, the results turned out to be quite predictable: in the first place were good wages, well-being (58.6%); personal inclinations, abilities (53.5%); demand in the labor market (39.1%) and career opportunities (39.1%). It is also worth noting that some respondents indicated their ideas about professional activity as a mission in society as a determining factor. One of the questions asked the respondents to express their opinion about such an instrument of success as having a higher education. 44.1% of respondents do not consider having higher education a guarantee of success in life. Most likely, there is an understanding in Russian society that other components are also needed to achieve success. One cannot but agree with a number of researchers who believe that “... a career is perceived by students in a vague and rather broad sense of the word.” This thesis is confirmed by the data of the question “What, in your opinion, is most important in assessing the work?” Income is the most important for respondents when assessing work, this opinion is shared by 69.5% of respondents, for 51.6% – good working conditions (safety, cleanliness, convenient schedule, etc.), professional self-realization (the opportunity to show one's abilities, business qualities) – 44.9%, career growth – 41.0% of students. The choice of respondents is predictable, there are slight differences in the areas of study. To the open-ended question “What does it mean to be a successful person in the professional environment that you have chosen?” the respondents in their answers put the criterion of achievement in the first place, the most often in their answers were: “recognition, help people, having feedback”, “authority”, “know your business 100%”; in second place was the level of wages; further – the position held: “to hold senior positions and do their job perfectly”; then comes the career advancement “to climb well up the career ladder, to have a good command of the relevant competence”, and career mobility “permanent business trips abroad”. The study showed that for the respondents, career growth means activities in the form of achievements, for example, “... do their job well” (students of the humanities), “self-realization in the professional sphere” (students of natural sciences), "the opportunity to show their professional skills" (technical students). So, a modern employer is interested in highly qualified specialists, therefore, today higher educational institutions are faced with the task of professional training of graduates in accordance with those competencies that will not only correspond to the labor market, but even outstrip the requirements of the market. The conducted survey allows us to investigate the perceptions of respondents at a given time stage. The result of such a study can be designed career guidance work, starting with school, with the involvement of employers of city-forming enterprises and the administration of universities.

Situational Teaching Based Evaluation of College Students’ English Reading, Listening, and Speaking Ability

To effectively enhance college students’ English Reading, Listening, and Speaking (RLS) ability, it is important to explore the teaching contents, teaching methods, and the factors affecting the development of college students’ English RLS ability. The existing literature has not clearly defined college students’ English RLS ability, or selected a proper method to evaluate the ability scientifically. To solve the problems, this paper tries to evaluate college students’ English RLS ability based on situational teaching. Firstly, the authors analyzed the teaching idea of college students’ English RLS courses, and established an evaluation index system (EIS) for their RLS ability. After examining the evaluation method, the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) was optimized by genetic algorithm, and used to construct an evaluation model for college students’ English RLS ability. The feasibility of the model was demonstrated through experiments.

Impetus-Force-Like Drawings May Be Less Common Than You Think

Perhaps the most commonly cited student idea about forces in the literature is the notion of an impetus force, defined as the “belief that there is a force inside a moving object that keeps it going and causes it to have some speed,” that can then “fade away as the object moves along.” According to the literature, even after physics instruction students use impetus force reasoning to argue that forces are necessary to sustain motion or that motion implies force. For example, many students drew an upward arrow to indicate a force on a coin that was moving upward after being tossed. The coin was halfway between the point of its release and its turnaround point. Interviews with students in the course indicate that the arrow was meant to indicate “the ‘force of the throw,’ the ‘upward original force,’” and so on. Clement interprets these results to mean that students “believe that continuing motion implies the presence of a continuing force in the same direction, as a necessary cause of the motion.”

The transformed semantics of the verbalizers of the ethical concepts “Love” - “Mercy” - “Chastity” - “Virtue”

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to identify semantic shifts of ethically significant concepts and their semantic distortion in the minds of Russian language native speakers in order to create an up-to-date picture allowing to understand the level of spiritual and moral values and the preservation of the Russian mentality among modern youth. The purpose of the study is to trace the changes in the meanings of the dominant verbalizers of the ethical concepts Love, Mercy, Chastity, Virtue and to determine the impact of these changes on the linguistic and cultural consciousness of modern native speakers. The authors used comparative-historical method, E.M. Vereshchagin, V.G. Kostomarovs method of allocating semantic shares, questioning, cognitive interpretation, etc. The research was conducted on the material of explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language of different periods and the Church Slavonic language, associative dictionaries and data from sociolinguistic surveys. The article defines the ethical semantic shares of these concepts, establishes their connection with the Orthodox worldview. The ideas of modern students about the selected ethical concepts are studied, transformations in their understanding and evaluation are indicated.
