High School Student CPR Training in Kuwait: A Cross-Sectional Study of Teacher Perspectives, Willingness, and Perceived Barriers.

School cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training has not been previously implemented nor studied in the Arabian Peninsula, and this is due to the challenges that this training imposes. This study aims to determine high school teacher perspectives, willingness, and barriers as related to CPR student training in high schools. An anonymous, voluntary, cross-sectional electronic questionnaire, primarily based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) was distributed to high school principals and teachers from 20 local (public and private) high schools between October and December 2021. The questionnaire was a 4-part (demographics, willingness, barriers, implementation approach), 23-variable tool. Eighty-four out of 88 participants were included in the analysis from 20 high schools. The overall willingness to teach CPR to students was 4.2 ± 0.9, and this willingness was significantly associated with being a female (p = 0.019), being a teacher (p = 0.036), having a family history of cardiovascular disease (p = 0.007), previous school CPR campaigns (p = 0.02), and all TPB factors: attitude (p = 0.001), subjective norms (p = 0.011), and perceived behaviour control (p = 0.007). As for perceived barriers, there was moderate concern regarding the absence of the Good Samaritan law (3.8 ± 1.1) and CoVID-19 transmission (3.5 ± 1.3). High school teaching staff recommended formal legislation of CPR training from the Ministry of Education (MoE) and favoured CPR training delivery by healthcare professionals. However, they were willing to conduct CPR training themselves with regular training, material integration into the curriculum, and online teaching material access. High school teachers are willing to teach students CPR. They need MoE legislation, appropriate training, online material, and a standardized database. Teaching staff also recommend specific training session settings. CoVID-19 and Good Samaritan law are moderate barriers. A number of factors influence teaching staff willingness to conduct CPR training. From this analysis, we recommend piloting CPR training in Kuwait high schools with consideration to the identified influential factors and barriers.

IT applications in education and Self-directed learning capacity

For differentiated teaching methods in Vietnam, educators only focus on intellectual ability which is provided in academic report cards. Overlooking psychological and cognitive factors leads to poor performance of differentiated teaching in high school in Vietnam. This application of technology in teaching helps teachers to prepare lessons quickly through available lecture templates, and at the same time take advantage of many resources such as videos, images, electronic documents, etc. help attract learners and improve teaching effectiveness.

The Application of Drama in Education to English Teaching in Junior High School

The main purpose of English learning is to use language to express oneself and communicate with others. However, in traditional teaching pattern, English teachers pay much attention to grammar and vocabulary knowledge but ignore the application of language, which makes it difficult for students to understand the meaning and communicative function of language. Without real experience and effective interaction, the improvement of students’ expression ability fails to achieve. However, Drama in Education breaks through the limitations of traditional teaching, puts students in the “center”, and stimulates students’ enthusiasm in English learning. More importantly, students as actors occupy the main position and have more opportunities to express, explore and learn through the whole process which can help students enhance their comprehensive ability. This paper takes “Hansel and Gretel” as an example to briefly explain the application of Drama in Education to English teaching in junior high school.

텍스트 유형에 따른 고등학생의 추론적 이해 차이

Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the level of inferential comprehension of high school students and to explore the points to be considered for effective reading instruction and rational evaluation based on this. Methods The level of inferential comprehension of 580 high school students enrolled in general high schools in Seoul, Incheon, Gwangju, Ulsan, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon-do was measured by using 40 optional items that can measure inferential comprehension as a test tool. For the response results, descriptive statistics were checked using Google's colab, and t-test and ANOVA were performed to analyze whether there was a difference in inferential understanding by gender and grade. Results First, the inferential understanding of the narrative text was significantly higher than that of the explanatory text. However, the difference between connection reasoning and elaboration reasoning was not confirmed. Second, a sub-factor of inferential understanding that was greatly affected by text type was causal reasoning. Third, inferential comprehension of narrative text was significantly higher in female students than in male students, but there was no gender difference in inferential understanding of explanatory text. Fourth, differences by grade were confirmed in both narrative text and explanatory text. A significant difference was not confirmed between the first and second grades, but a significant difference was confirmed between the first and third grades and between the second and third grades. Conclusions The educational implications of this study are as follows. First, it is required to consider the text type when evaluating inferential reading instruction and inferential comprehension in high school. Second, educational consideration is required for grade assignment in reading subjects in that inferential comprehension significantly develops in the third year of high school. Third, it is necessary to pay educational attention to the sub-factors of inferential understanding, which showed a relatively low level by text type.

Psychological Adjustment and Emotional Health Care Strategies in the Teaching Process of College Music Teachers Based on Big Data Analysis

In music teaching in high schools, teachers should not only impart corresponding music knowledge to students but also focus on cultivating students’ comprehensive quality and quality. In the process of music teaching in universities, we should focus on students’ psychological adjustment and emotional health care. In order to quantify the application effect of big data technology in music teaching reform, this paper takes piano teaching in universities as an example to conduct research and mainly analyzes the physiological and psychological prediction effects involved in the teaching process. This paper introduces three typical big data technologies to predict and analyze the data involved in the existing piano teaching in universities. The analysis results show that the prediction effect based on the fuzzy neural inference system is the best. In addition, the three-dimensional display of the prediction data shows that the prediction effect obtained by big data technology shows good consistency and continuity, which indicates that the prediction method based on big data technology is suitable for psychological adjustment and emotional health care in music teaching in universities.

Design of a Higher Education Question and Answer System Based on Multimodal Adversarial Networks

Higher education question and answer system is a current research hotspot in the field of natural language processing and artificial intelligence, which can return accurate answers directly and also allow users to input in natural language, avoiding the need to return large collections of valid and invalid data links for users to filter twice. In recent years, deep learning techniques have made great progress in the field of natural language processing, thus making it possible to apply it in the field of teaching and learning in junior high school. Most of the traditional quiz systems based on traditional retrieval techniques have problems such as insufficient semantic portrayal of text, inability to extract semantic features in context, and poor processing of complex utterances. In order to fill the gap and deficiencies of question and answer systems in junior high school teaching, this paper applies multimodal and adversarial network-related technologies to build a multimodal adversarial network-based question and answer system for higher education. The experimental results show that the principles of the traditional application system and the multimodal adversarial system designed in this paper are similar, but the current application system is relatively more effective.

A Research on the Application of Discourse Analysis Theory in English Reading—Teaching in High School

Türkiye’de Cumhuriyet Dönemi Tarih Ders Kitaplarında Değişim ve Sürekliliğin İzini Sürmek: İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti Örneği

Genel kabul gören yaklaşıma göre 1889 yılında İstanbul’da bir grup Askeri Tıbbiye Mektebi öğrencisi tarafından gizli bir cemiyet olarak kurulan İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti Osmanlı Devleti’nin son on yılında gelişen olaylara damgasını vurmuştur. Cemiyet, ayrıca Millî Mücadele’nin örgütlenmesinde rol oynadığı gibi Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde kısa bir süre de olsa iç siyasetin önemli bir figürü olmuştur. Türkiye’de Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde liselerde okutulan tarih ders kitaplarında İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti ve ittihatçılara yaklaşımda meydana gelen değişimi ortaya koymayı amaçlayan tarama modelindeki bu araştırmada doküman incelemesi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada temel materyal olarak Türkiye’deki liselerde 1931 yılı ile 2020 yılı arasında okutulan Tarih ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Tarihi (ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti İnkılap Tarihi ve Atatürkçülük) ders kitaplarından yararlanılmıştır. Bu çerçevede araştırma, araştırma dönemini temsil ettiği düşünülen 20 ders kitabından oluşturulan bir örneklem üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler nitel veri analiz tekniği olan betimsel analiz ile analiz edilmiş, ulaşılan bulgular oluşturulan kategoriler altında ele alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti ile ilgili konuların çerçevesi ve yaklaşım tarzının 1931 yılında yayınlanan Tarih ders kitaplarında belirlendiği, dönemin iç siyasi gelişmelerinin bir yansıması olarak bu ders kitaplarında İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyetine karşı olumsuz yaklaşımın günümüze doğru yaklaştıkça giderek zayıfladığı ve konuların çeşitlendiği anlaşılmaktadır. Genel olarak 1931 ders kitaplarında hissedilen Cumhuriyetçi kadro-İttihatçı karşıtlığının 2000’li yıllara yaklaştıkça yerini belli ölçüde Osmanlı-İttihatçı karşıtlığına bıraktığını söylemek mümkündür.

Improving the Learning and Teaching of Mathematical Logic Elements Using Maple

The study of the elements of mathematical logic and its sections, especially in the process of teaching in high school in general and specialized courses of mathematics or higher educational institutions, is a rather tricky task. The paper demonstrates how one can design and develop a package of interactive applications to help learn, understand, and apply the essential elements of mathematical logic. The research aims to develop and describe an interactive application for studying the order of constructing truth tables and studying and demonstrating the production of principal normal disjunctive and conjunctive forms. The development is based on the methods of the Maple computer algebra system of the Maplet library. In addition, other methods are used to solve the research issues – theoretical and accurate analytical solutions to mathematical logic issues. All constructed material (Maplet) will serve as a good simulator for students, allowing one to perform an infinite number of attempts to analyze, synthesize, and build truth tables.

Mechanical engineering students’ struggles with units of measure


 
 
 The correct use of units of measure is a critical and fundamental skill that is often taken for granted. The fact that units are taught in high school leads to the expectation that university freshmen master these skills. Unfortunately, faculty often observe that students struggle with units. Although the literature is limited on the nature and extent of students’ struggles with units, it is shown that all of it, without exception, points to a pervasive problem in STEM programs. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring the evolution in the performance of N=21 senior mechanical engineering students enrolled during the Fall 2019 semester in a 3-credit-hour, required course that prepares them for the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. Students were given a unit-conversion quiz at the beginning each class session. It was corrected on the spot, with a score of either 1 or 0, followed by a discussion of the quiz. A score of 1 required a perfect solution. The performance on each quiz guided the decision on the content of future quizzes. The results show that 15 quizzes were required to get 100% of the students to push through their difficulties and achieve expertise. The paper includes the content of the quizzes, the solutions, the aggregated results for each quiz, and the nature of the mistakes. It also includes an algorithm to conduct unit conversions and a visualization scheme to use tables of unit conversions and tables of metric prefixes that were developed during the project. These greatly assisted students in overcoming their difficulties. The experiment was repeated the following semester (Spring 2020, N=27) to test the effectiveness of an algorithm and visualization scheme developed by the author during the Fall 2019 semester. The time to achieve expertise was reduced to one third (5 quizzes vs 15 for the original group), thus confirming its merit. Part of the discussion section focuses on the benefit of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) movement, of which this paper is an example, and its use in the ABET-required processes of outcomes assessment and continuous improvement. The paper also includes suggestions for further research.
 
 

Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Antikorupsi dalam Materi Pendidikan Agama Islam

This research study is how the integration of anti-corruption values in PAI subjects in schools can shape students' morals and ethics in developing an anti-corruption movement explicitly and implicitly. However, anti-corruption values will never be achieved without the awareness of the teacher in applying them in the learning process both inside and outside the classroom. This study uses a type of library research with content analysis methods through the data sources of PAI textbooks (Qur'an Hadith, Akidah Akhlak, Fikih and history of Islam). The results show that the integration of anti-corruption values into Islamic religious education materials can be done both textually and contextually by developing character values from the material taught in high school in the preparation of syllabus and lesson plans (RPP). The new textual Islamic religious education material limits the cultivation of honesty, discipline, hard work, care and justice without directly anti-corruption in instilling students' understanding and character. Then contextually it can be done with various kinds of efforts, such as the example of all teachers (especially Islamic religious education teachers), as well as various cultures as a comprehensive anti-corruption value planting with habituation (habits) in schools.
