Enhancing Higher Order Thinking Skills Among TVET Students: HyperDocs as a Tool for TVET Teachers

HyperDocs are interactive digital documents containing links to various digital resources and activities. These learning tools provide students with an interactive and self-directed learning experience that allows them to investigate, generate, and collaborate in a digital environment. HyperDocs have recently experienced a significant surge in usage across various fields. Despite the widespread use of HyperDocs and their potential to improve classroom learning, additional research is required to ascertain their effectiveness in educational settings. This investigation aimed to identify patterns in advanced cognitive abilities to improve Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) educators' understanding of HyperDocs activities. Using Bloom's Taxonomy as a theoretical framework, the TVET instructor conducted a document analysis of HyperDocs to determine the intellectual level of student activities. During this investigation, a significant quantity of previously unrevealed information has been uncovered. The study results indicate that HyperDocs activities comprise the entire spectrum of cognitive abilities outlined in Bloom's taxonomy. The analysis reveals that most HyperDocs activities involve lower-order thinking skills such as remembering, comprehending, and applying. Higher-order thinking skills such as analyzing, evaluating, and creating are utilized less frequently, accounting for only 45.1% of all activities. Although HyperDocs' activities often incorporate primary forms of reasoning, the difference in performance is only 9.8%. The results of the present investigation indicate that the integration of HyperDocs within the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) domains has the potential to augment cognitive processing.

RELIGIOUS WOMEN MENTORS: THE MOROCCO VERSION

Since 2005, the Moroccan authorities have decided to reform the country’s mosques’ religious policy and leadership structure. To this end, several strategies have been initiated. One of them was the creation of training programs for imams, male mentors, and female mentors of the new generation for active work among the population, in particular, to curb the radicalization of youth, especially in rural areas. These programs were short-term but quite effective for this purpose, and their specific feature was the involvement of women in the role of mentors. Most importantly, these are well-educated young women whose intellectual level allowed them to carry out creative preaching work in modern conditions. These programs were attached to the Mohammed VI Institute, and the contingent of students quickly became international, so imams and mentors were trained for several foreign, mainly African states. This practice allowed, on the one hand, to remove social-religious tension within the country and, on the other hand, to significantly increase the authority of the Kingdom of Morocco as an international religious educational center. The purpose of this article is to analyze the implementation of the religious policy of Morocco in recent years in the field of using the «female factor» to solve the social problems of modern Muslim society.

Konsep dan Etos Ilmu dalam Ensiklopedi Al-Qur'an Karya Dawam Rahardjo

The fact of the decline of the Muslim world in terms of intellectual level has been discussed in many places. The response to these challenges is very diverse. One response that is considered relevant is to bring back the spirit of the Qur'an to revive the tradition of knowledge. This research aims to explore the concept and ethos of knowledge in the book Encyclopaedia Al-Qur'an by Dawan Rahardjo. This type of research is library research using descriptive-analytical method. The results of this study are, in his introduction, Dawam explains the ethos of science in the Islamic world, where the concept of knowledge sourced from the Qur'an and hadith became the driving force of Islamic society in the past in creating an advanced civilisation. Regarding the interpretation of the Qur'an, Dawam raises all vocabulary that contains elements of 'knowledge' which is not limited to the word 'ilm and its various derivations, but other vocabulary such as fahhama, 'aqala, bashir, faqiha, khabara, albab, and so on in revealing the meaning of 'knowledge' in the Qur'an. On the other hand, Dawam raises one sample surah, QS. al-An'am to show that the Qur'an encourages its people to act in a rational way and has functional value. Finally, Dawam concludes that although the Qur'an contains theological aspects as a religious teaching, as a teaching of life, the Qur'an also contains practical aspects of the spirit to be knowledgeable, act rationally, and also create a scientific civilisation.

LEARNING PROCESSES IN CHILDHOOD: A study on school performance and intelligence levels

The learning process involves complex variables that can be discussed from the most diverse perspectives. Difficulties faced on this path are commonly attributed, by parents and teachers, to behavioral problems, inattention, neglect of studies, among others. However, clinical diagnostic practice in cases of school complaints often identifies that children have a good intellectual level, even with unsatisfactory school performance. Thus, the objective of this study was to relate school performance with the level of intelligence in students from a public elementary school unit. It was a quantitative, exploratory and cross-sectional research, which included a sample of 180 children with ages between 7 years and 11 years and 11 months, from elementary school at a public school in the Greater ABC-SP region. The School Performance Test (TDE) and the Non-verbal Intelligence Test (R2) were used as instruments, applied collectively. The results indicate that around 85% of children presented low academic performance, while 81% of children obtained scores at or above average in terms of intelligence level. These data indicate that, despite being intelligent, their academic performance was compromised. The results articulated the environment, social, political, economic factors and the institution itself as fundamental factors of this problem. In this way, it is possible to reflect that in the learning processes we do not only consider levels of intelligence, organic factors or intellectual deficits, but a look at the institution and the uniqueness of these children whose academic performance is impaired and, therefore, present severe learning difficulties.

Practical Exploration of Rhythm Training in Early Music Education

Currently, the education department is increasingly attaching importance to art education for infants and young children, and has included it as an important content in the curriculum system of preschool education. Music is a discipline that combines artistic and technical aspects. Through music activities for infants and young children, it can effectively improve their intellectual level and emotional experience. However, due to reasons such as young age and lack of experience, most kindergartens often neglect rhythm teaching in early music teaching, resulting in unsatisfactory teaching results for infants and young children due to their inability to form a good sense of rhythm and rhythm during the learning process. Based on this, this article mainly explores the implementation strategies of rhythm training in early music education, aiming to stimulate the music interest of infants and young children through the rational use of rhythm training, and make them grow up healthier and happier.

Influence of sociocultural institutions on the socioeconomic development of society in the era of post-industrialism

Methods. The results were obtained through the use of methods: logical and historical – when studying the process of evolution of theoretical views on the role of sociocultural factors in the process of absorbing knowledge; the method of classifications – when distinguishing the main approaches to determining the main sociocultural factors affecting the process of knowledge transfer and assimilation; general and specific – when establishing the similarities and differences in the existing approaches regarding the decisive socio-cultural factors influencing the success of the knowledge acquisition process. Results. It has been proven that the process of knowledge acquisition and transfer at the company level and at the individual level, depending on national characteristics, is influenced by some other socio-cultural factors that the company can control. It has been established that in modern scientific literature there is no unified approach to determining the decisive socio-cultural factors that positively or negatively affect the process of knowledge acquisition. Among such factors, scientists point out experience, motivation, social connections and social capital, cultural diversity, continuity of learning, trust, openness to change, etc. Such a variety of approaches gives rise to the need to study all the indicated socio-cultural factors of influence on the success of knowledge acquisition in their unity and interrelationship. Novelty. It has been proven that the success of the acquisition process at the company level depends on the ability, desire, and success of knowledge transfer. The ability to acquire knowledge depends on the intellectual level, level of education, experience, and skills of the subject absorbing knowledge; the desire to acquire knowledge depends on motivation, incentives and interest, openness to knowledge, awareness of the value of knowledge, a culture of knowledge; the success of knowledge transfer depends on the effectiveness of learning methods that shape the culture of learning, organizational procedures of knowledge transfer, successful communications, distance, duration of relationships, cooperation, shared beliefs, social ties and social exchange, social integration based on trust, and also on those social filters that a person receiving knowledge puts between himself and knowledge. Practical value. Awareness of the above-mentioned factors can provide an understanding of the complex dynamics that shape the perception of knowledge at the country level and the level of the organization. It is important to recognize the multifacetedness of these influences, how they interact with each other, as well as the vector and extent of these influences, which can be considered a direction for further research.

문화복지의 쟁점과 문화의 복지적 역할

This paper aims at examining the significance and limitations of culture in welfare from the perspective of welfare, focusing on 2022 National Culture and Arts Activity Survey [abbreviated as 2022 Survey]. 2022 Survey shows that low-income group show more interest in improving the quality of works than cost, and that it is the high-income group that brings up the cost. The fact that low-income people have a high participation rate in cultural volunteering and clubs, showing their will and passion for culture and arts means that nostalgia for culture and arts is universal regardless of income. The welfare role of culture includes helping vulnerable group reflect on their lives, provide emotional comfort, discover hidden creativity, raise their intellectual level, and strengthen their sense of community integration. In this regard, this study is significant in that it has made it possible to supplement the weakening of welfare in cultural welfare and to rethink the quality of life based on the results of the 2022 Survey that expanded the cultural entertainment rate by income level.

«Nude Vita» of the Post-classical Regression of the Culture Industry and Retrocausal Reversibility

The article examines the phenomenon of Western visual practices known as “nude vita.” Using the example of landmark nu-projects, the author analyzes socio-philosophical criticism of cultural-industrial post-classical regression by independent Ukrainian and international scholars who study the entropy of contemporary artistic experience. The researchers discussed emphasize the need for an immediate revision of the self-destructive art episteme of postmodernism and the return to social and individual creative consciousness of the essential reflection as a stratagem of transcendental aesthetics. As an additional argument in favor of the validity of such academic criticism, the article draws on the ideas of the modern quantum-mechanical theory of retrocausality, which highlights the importance of the historical-temporal integrity of cultural memory, since the causal effect of temporal reversibility on a subtle spiritual and intellectual level can change the past states of systems through the transformation of future events, which plays an important role in the cultural and artistic context of the here-and-now nation-building.

Intellectual status and factors influencing the intelligence in children with attention deficit and hyperactive disorder

To study the intellectual level and the factors influencing the intelligence in children aged 6-16 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A retrospective study was conducted on 2 861 children who were diagnosed with ADHD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition between October 2014 and September 2022 at Henan Children's Hospital. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition was used to assess the intellectual levels of the ADHD children. Based on intelligence quotient (IQ) scores, the intellectual levels were classified into five categories: borderline (70-79), low average (80-89), average (90-109), high average (110-119), and superior (≥120). The intellectual levels among the children of different genders, grades, and parental education levels were compared. Among the 2 861 ADHD children, 569 (19.89%) were classified as borderline, 846 (29.57%) as low average, 1 304 (45.58%) as average, 111 (3.88%) as high average, and 31 (1.08%) as superior. The boys had lower scores in working memory, processing speed, and overall IQ than the girls (P<0.05). There were significant differences in perceptual reasoning, working memory, processing speed, and overall IQ scores among different grade groups (P<0.05). The scores in language comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, processing speed, and overall IQ were found to be associated with parental education level in ADHD children (P<0.05). The proportion of ADHD children with low average and borderline intellectual levels is relatively high. The IQ level of ADHD children is influenced by gender, grade level and parental education level.

PEDAGOGICAL BASIC DEVELOPMENT OF ORAL LANGUAGE

A person's spiritual inner world is reflected not only by his social activity, but also by the linguistic behavior of his speech. A person's speech and vocabulary are a reflection of his mental capacity and express his upbringing, education, intellectual development, character traits, characteristics, moral qualities. Today, the daily speech of school-aged pupils, students, even university graduates mostly does not meet the characteristics of beautiful speech, and this gap must be filled in the school, including the entire school staff. Being educated, as a set of knowledge, skills and abilities, is an important means of forming the spiritual and intellectual personal qualities of the learner, and it should become the cornerstone of school education. The task of the teaching staff is to form students who are constantly striving for self-knowledge and self-improvement, they should be put on the path of constant self-analysis, self-correction and self-improvement, forming individuals endowed with principled, emotional and universal values. Along with the development of the student's spiritual interests, getting acquainted with universal values, rich culture, works of art, the teacher should also develop the student's speech and communication ability, because the moral development of the individual is closely related to the acquisition of the spiritual values of the people: language, literature, history, culture. The degree of speech development is an indicator of intellectual level, an indicator of how a person perceives, understands and analyzes the information received from the outside world and adapts to it.

Approach to Modernizing Residential-Dominated District Heating Systems to Enhance Their Flexibility, Energy Efficiency, and Environmental Friendliness

The need to modernize existing district heating systems is due to increased requirements for their flexibility, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness. The technical policy on district heating pursued in different countries centers on the listed goals and takes account of historical, climatic, and regional features of the resource, technology, and economic availability of various thermal energy sources. This study aims to analyze methods designed to improve the flexibility, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness of district heating systems. The focus of the study is district heating system, which provides heating and hot water supply to consumers and consists of various types of thermal energy sources. The work shows the possibility for the heating system to transition from the third generation to the fourth one, which differ in their level of intellectualization. The establishment of an intelligent control system will ensure the interaction of various heat sources, but this is a separate strand of research. In this study, a model and a methodology were developed to optimize the structure of thermal energy sources and their operating conditions when covering the heat load curve of a territory with a predominance of household consumers. Gas-reciprocating and gas-turbine cogeneration plants are considered as the main thermal energy sources, whose efficiency is boosted through their joint operation with electric boilers, thermal energy storage systems, low-grade heat sources, and absorption chillers. The primary emphasis of the study is on the assessment of the environmental benefit to be gained by using cogeneration plants as a factor of enhancing the investment appeal of the district heating systems. The findings suggest that the transition of district heating systems to the next generation is impossible without changing the institutional environment, strengthening the role of active consumers, and introducing intelligent control for district heating systems.

Компьютерная игромания и кризис идентичности: социально-философский аспект

Gambling addiction as a social problem is becoming more and more relevant in conditions of almost complete transition of society to digital ways of interaction, when people spend most of their working and personal time on the Internet. The author considers computer game addiction as a factor affecting the processes of personal identification and self-identification. This is due to the fact that, immersed in a virtual gaming environment, a gamer has the opportunity to independently form his identity, using a game character and transferring its external data, attributes, character, habits and other parameters, ultimately on himself. In addition, interaction in the network community of players also does not require the demonstration of a real image, practically not limiting the player in the choice of means of personal identification. In the article, the author identified the signs of computer game addiction, including complete immersion in the game, inability to control their behavior during the game and immediately after leaving it, inability to manage time, loss of connection with reality, transformation of goals and interests, leading to an increase in aggression, implementation of antisocial behavior patterns, destruction of social ties and almost complete loss of skills of constructive interpersonal interaction. Substitution of values, loss of moral ideas and guidelines, inability to empathy, aggression, increased anxiety, isolation, decline in general intellectual level — these are not all the consequences of computer game addiction. According to the author, the prevention of cybernetic gambling addiction requires active information work with the population, as well as the development of a mechanism of legal regulation of online gambling.

Сучасні методики технічної освіти в умовах дистанційного навчання

The article substantiates the trends and prospects for the development of distance education. It was noted that the development of methods and the development of remote forms of the educational process belong to innovative methods of training future specialists. A promising path for the development of distance learning has been revealed in accordance with the development of world trends related to the development of new information technologies and systems for establishing communications between various strata of population groups and, including, the educational sector.&#x0D; The expediency of the development of remote forms of education in Ukraine is substantiated and it is noted that such methods will motivate the students themselves to the need to increase their informational and intellectual level, capable of mastering new forms of acquiring professional abilities. It has been proven that the creation of remote forms of education will contribute to the improvement of the professional level of teaching staff and the level of mastery of computer technology, as it requires high professional abilities from teachers in the process of providing educational services using modern information technologies.&#x0D; Generalized features of distance learning methods are presented and brief characteristics of each of them are given. Separate information technologies, tools and the most popular online platforms used for organizing training in a distance format are considered. The main advantages that teachers and students receive when studying in a distance format are highlighted, and, in particular, the high mobility of students, which in turn does not require their strict presence in classrooms and laboratories of educational institutions. It is indicated that the introduction of distance learning allows to significantly reduce the expenditure items of the educational institution on utility payments. At the same time, the distance education system does not require the educational institution to have and maintain a wide list of basic funds, including classrooms for the full-time educational process in the presence of students. Such features of obtaining educational services are especially relevant in modern conditions, when Ukraine is waging a war of liberation with the Russian Federation.

The Crisis of American Conservatism in Historical–Comparative Perspective

Starting from the assessment that contemporary American conservatism is in a state of crisis, manifested in a dynamic of growing radicalization, this article seeks to identify the factors and actors that contributed to this trajectory and to thus elucidate its more fundamental drivers, assuming that Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movements are symptoms rather than causes of this radicalization. To this effect, a succinct and pointed history of modern American conservatism from its beginnings in the postwar era is presented, using a periodization into three broad eras. Particular attention is given to the internal heterogeneity and conflicts within the conservative movement on a political and an intellectual level that help explain how conservatism as a whole, or at least its dominant forces, has continued to move to the right over the decades. In order to put this trajectory into perspective, a parallel history of German conservatism is used as contrast. One conclusion that can be drawn from this account is that both German and American conservatism are experiencing a crisis, but for very different reasons and with highly different manifestations. While American conservatism is in a radicalization spiral, German conservatism suffers instead from an identity crisis and a loss of any meaningful ideological–political profile.
