Situated learning in the translation class: exploring the effects of engaging college students in an online crowdsourcing translation project

ABSTRACT In the recent decade, project-based learning has gained popularity in translator training, with its foundation rooted in the situated learning theory. Advancements in digital technology have opened up new learning opportunities for both teachers and students in translation classrooms. One such opportunity lies in the realm of online communities comprising non-professional translators who create subtitles for videos, movies, TV shows, and various audiovisual materials. This study focuses on a project that integrates the teaching and learning of English speech subtitling within an online translation programme operating on a crowdsourcing model. In contrast to previous studies, which typically emphasised student-centred approaches with minimal teacher involvement, undergraduate students in this study underwent a comprehensive five-week training in subtitling. This training involved the use of instructor-designed worksheets prior to students’ active participation in online speech subtitling. The results of pre- and post-tests demonstrated significant improvements in the students’ subtitling knowledge and skills. Additionally, feedback from a self-report questionnaire and interviews with selected students highlighted numerous advantages associated with the teacher-guided and collaborative group approach to learning subtitling.

Veggies4myHeart – educational project to promote vegetable knowledge and consumption in preschoolers

Abstract Vegetable consumption among children is below recommended. Given the critical role of vegetable consumption in health promotion, it is essential to identify effective strategies to promote this intake. The Veggies4myHeart project aims to increase vegetable knowledge and consumption in preschool children through nutrition education strategies (NES). Veggies4myHeart is a prospective longitudinal study with children aged 2 to 6 years who attend preschools in the Leiria district. A questionnaire was applied to the parents to characterize the sample. NES were used: children’s story, digital game, vegetable-themed sticker booklet and the food wheel. The intervention consisted of 5 food education sessions, each focusing on one selected vegetable (lettuce, carrot, red cabbage, cucumber, and tomato). Sessions to assess knowledge and consumption of vegetables were held pre-and post-intervention. Knowledge was evaluated through a taxonomic categorization questionnaire. Consumption was assessed by recording the number of portions of each vegetable consumed. Wilcoxon test was used to compare pre-and post-intervention vegetable knowledge and consumption. ANOVA test was used to compare NES. Between 2018 and 2024, 649 children (52,5% female, mean age 4,36 ± 0,942) from 17 preschools participated. After the intervention, there was a statistically significant increase in vegetable knowledge (p < 0,001) and a statistically significant increase in the consumption of vegetables (p < 0,001). There are statistically significant differences between NES, with the digital game having greater vegetable knowledge (p < 0,001) and consumption (p < 0,001) than the others. The Veggies4myHeart project effectively increased vegetable knowledge and consumption in preschoolers. It is essential to continue the intervention to promote consumption and familiarity with vegetables, as well as the involvement of parents and preschool teachers, due to their prominent role as models for acquiring healthy eating habits. Key messages • The NES used proved useful, contributing to increased knowledge and consumption of vegetables. • The Veggies4myHeart project is an asset for preschool-aged children to become familiar with vegetables.

Decentralizing the School: The Necessity of Teacher Involvement in School Management

The role of school management is to ensure that the school is run in efficient and orderly ways, providing an ideal education environment for teachers and students. Effective school management can substantially promote teacher professional development whereas flawed school management undermines the teacher’s job satisfaction and identification with the teaching career, leading to increased turnover rates (Stockard & Lehman, 2004; Tang, 2024). Also, the leadership style of the school is closely related to the students’ quality of learning, making a significant difference to their interest, motivation, and outcomes (Robinson & Gray, 2019; Yu et al., 2021). Therefore, developing legitimate school management patterns is of vital significance for educational quality enhancement.

STRYV365 peak team and Brain agents: teacher perspectives on school impact of a trauma-informed, social-emotional learning approach for students facing adverse childhood experiences.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a profound impact on children's and adolescents' academic performance and overall wellbeing. In contrast, positive childhood experiences help mitigate the negative effects of ACEs on health and wellbeing. Trauma-informed and social-emotional learning (SEL) programs in schools may address these impacts, with school staff playing a pivotal role in ensuring their success and influencing school outcomes. This study aimed to assess the strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in the STRYV365 peak team and Brain Agents programs. The aim was to refine program implementation and determine the preliminary effects on students, teachers, and the broader school environment. To achieve this goal, four focus groups were conducted after the program concluded, involving 17 school leaders, administrators, and teachers from four urban schools serving students in fifth through ninth grades. The audio transcripts were professionally transcribed and analyzed by four co-authors using Dedoose for inductive coding, leading to the identification of major themes and subthemes. Three key themes were identified from transcripts: school-wide perspectives of STRYV365 programs, strengths and impacts of STRVY365 programs, and suggestions for program improvement. School staff noted that the peak team was particularly engaging for students, helping them develop SEL skills and foster both peer-to-coach and peer-to-peer relationships. Additionally, the STRYV365 programs were found to enhance student-teacher relationships and staff relationships. Teachers expressed strong interest in taking a more active role in future programming. Overall, this study highlights the importance of teacher and administrator involvement in maintaining consistent SEL activities for urban youth. The findings also suggest that short-term, 4-week SEL programs can have a positive effect on school culture, as well as on student-teacher relationships and teacher-teacher relationships.

How to promote mobile phone recovery? Evaluation of a collection campaign in Belgian schools

Mobile phone recycling is crucial to recover valuable resources and mitigate environmental health risks. Collection campaigns may help to retrieve unused phones, but empirical evidence on the factors contributing to the effectiveness of such campaigns is rare. In the present study, we assessed how one and the same collection campaign was implemented in N = 124 Belgian schools with over 30,000 students and related between-school variations in implementation characteristics to the number of collected phones (8,931 in total). More phones were collected in schools that assigned a higher priority to the collection campaign (rs = .42) and in schools that reported a higher degree of teacher involvement (rs = .36). All schools also received collection-contingent rewards and we randomly offered some schools the opportunity to donate this reward, but this manipulation did not lead to significant between-school differences. These results support the effectiveness of the evaluated collection campaign and can inform the design of future efforts to collect unused mobile phones.

Assessment of Inpatient Medical Record Form Design at Afifa Clinic

General background of this research focuses on the use of medical record forms in inpatient clinics, particularly at the Afifa Prambon Clinic.
