Competing or complementary goals for primary education: social-emotional learning across the Nigerien education system

ABSTRACT As interest in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) increases and expands across global contexts, the perspectives and interests of different actors across these contexts must be considered and used to inform understanding of SEL. This paper uses the implementation of SEL interventions in primary schools in conflict-affected Diffa, Niger to investigate perceptions and definitions of SEL across multiple stakeholders. Analysis of data from 58 semi-structured interviews with Ministry officials, NGOs, development partners, school inspectors, pedagogical advisers, school directors, teachers, and parents identified five different conceptualisations of SEL, varying by stakeholder. Themes related to conflict, trauma, psychosocial support, poverty, and religion emerged, illustrating different stakeholders’ priorities and concerns, and accordingly diverging interest in SEL and education more broadly.

Multiliteracy Play: Designs and Desires in the Second Language Classroom (Book Review)

Notable paradigmatic shifts in second language education have taken place over the course of the last several decades. During the mid-1990s, the ‘social turn’ was marked by moves away from the understanding of second language acquisition as a purely cognitive process toward a more holistic understanding of a language learner’s agency and situatedness within dynamic sociolinguistic contexts (Ellis, 2021). Over the last 10 years, the ‘multilingual turn’ has built upon the social turn to include critical and post-structural perspectives that address sociocultural and sociolinguistic power dynamics. These perspectives value learners’ fluid multilingual competencies, such as translanguaging, in an increasingly globalized world (Ellis, 2021). Presently, this shift continues to drive increased interest in linguistic plurality, multimodal learning and expression, and what is known as multiliteracies (Zapata et al., 2023). Multiliteracies refers to a theoretical and practical approach to literacy pedagogy developed by the New London Group (1996) which calls for educators to acknowledge the ever-increasing cultural and linguistic diversity of modern globalized societies as well as the increasingly diverse forms of texts, information, and technologies that circulate throughout them. In doing so, educators can better engage the contextual discourses, or “lifeworlds,” of learners, providing opportunities for the process of agentive (re)design, or meaning-making. In Multiliteracy Play: Designs and Desires in the Second Language Classroom, Chantelle Warner builds upon the New London Group’s framework by providing a vision for further realizing the current paradigmatic shift in second language teaching. The author’s core argument is that multiliteracy play, described as creative (and sometimes subversive) “tinkering” with linguistic, cultural, and semiotic meaning, further emphasizes and explores facets of the second language learning process that remain neglected: affect, aesthetic, design, and desire.

Current state of patient knowledge regarding the preoperative impact and causes of anemia

Despite being treatable, the prevalence of anemia is relatively high, affecting up to 30% of the general population and 35% of patients undergoing surgery. Symptoms are often misinterpreted and patients frequently do not recognize anemia as adisease. As aresult, it is often not discussed during medical consultations. Additionally, the limited time between diagnosis and surgery makes preoperative anemia management challenging. The aim of the present study was to assess the state of knowledge about anemia and to identify areas of deficits to develop astrategy for future improvement. Patients undergoing surgery with atransfusion probability of > 10% were interviewed at the department for anesthesiology, intensive care medicine and pain therapy of the University Hospital Frankfurt in May and October 2023. Atotal of 196 completed questionnaires were evaluated. Most correct answers were given in the category "treatment of anemia" with 54.3% (n = 426/784), followed by 50.1% (n = 393/784) correct answers in the category "diagnosis of anemia", 48.8% (n = 478/980) in the category "perioperative influence of anemia" and 44.6% (n = 350/784) correct answers in the category "influence of nutrition". The patients showed the greatest knowledge deficits in the category "symptoms of anemia" with 38.1% (n = 598/1568) correct answers and "causes of anemia" with 36.1% (n = 354/980). Only 3% (n = 5/196) of the participants rated their knowledge as "good", 16% (n = 31/196) as "fairly good", 48% (n = 94/196) as "fairly poor" and 29% (n = 56/196) as "poor". There is aweak to medium positive linear correlation between the self-assessment and the correct answers given (correlation coefficient 0.44). Approximately 70% of participants had ahigher level of education, such as vocational training, auniversity degree or ahigh school diploma. There was no correlation between the number of correct answers given and the participants' level of education. The majority of the patients (71.4%; n = 140/195) expressed interest in learning more about anemia. We identified asignificant knowledge deficit, particularly regarding the causes and symptoms of anemia. It is likely that knowledge gaps persist and that anemia does not receive sufficient attention in everyday clinical practice. Educating and training patients about anemia is essential to further reduce its prevalence.

Exploring the relationship between teacher and parent support and students’ noncognitive outcomes via Latent Profile Analysis

Support from both teachers and parents is essential for shaping students’ noncognitive outcomes. Despite the acknowledged importance of both support sources, research on their combined impact remains sparse. Therefore, this study examined the patterns of combined teacher and parent support and their relationship with students’ noncognitive outcomes such as self-confidence, interest in learning, anxiety, attitude, and student activeness. We applied Latent Profile Analysis to analyze data from 274 secondary school students in China, identifying four distinct profiles of teacher–parent support: low teacher support–low parent support, medium teacher support–low parent support, high teacher support–low parent support, and high teacher support–high parent support. Analysis of variance was employed to analyze the differences in noncognitive support across these profiles, identifying significant differences in self-confidence, interest in learning, and anxiety across profiles; however, surprisingly, teacher and parent support were not significantly correlated with attitude or student activeness. This study highlights the critical role of teacher–parent support; contributes new insights for educators, parents, and schools; and underscores the necessity of personalized support tailored to individual needs.

Application of the flipped classroom model based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives in endodontics education for undergraduate dental students.

The current study was conducted to compare the effects of the lecture method of teaching and the flipped classroom model based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives on the teaching of endodontics curriculum to undergraduate students majoring in stomatology, and to develop a standardized teaching process based on the flipped classroom model. A standardized flipped classroom model based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives was established. Two groups of undergraduate students majoring in stomatology received instruction in a portion of the endodontics curriculum using either the lecture method or flipped classroom model of teaching. A teaching questionnaire was administered to evaluate the students' mastery of theoretical knowledge, understanding of learning objectives, satisfaction of teaching method, and learning interest. The SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and the t-test was used to compare the differences between the two groups. Both learning model cohorts filled out assessment questionnaires upon completion of the pilot curriculum. Compared with the responses from students in the lecture-based group, the self-rating of theoretical knowledge reported by students in the flipped classroom cohort increased by 10.9%, from 7.1 ± 0.8 to 7.9 ± 0.7 (t = 2.912, p < 0.006). Students' test scores in the flipped classroom group increased by 17.1%, from 7.0 ± 0.8 to 8.2 ± 0.7 (t = 4.284, p < 0.001). Students' understanding of ideological and humanistic objectives as well as medical ethics were both significantly improved by 11.4% (t = 2.267, p = 0.009) and 13.9% (t = 2.600, p = 0.014), respectively. Students' satisfaction with the teaching model and class duration increased significantly, by 11.1% (t = 2.782, p = 0.009) and 14.3% (t = 2.449, p < 0.020), respectively. Students' learning interest increased by 17.1% (t = 3.101, p = 0.004). The length of study time prior to class under the flipped classroom model was longer than when using the traditional lecture method (t = 3.165, p = 0.003), but the flipped classroom model shortened review time after class (t = 4.038, p = 0.001). Students' self-reported understanding of teaching objectives improved by 8.3% (t = 1.762, p = 0.083), and satisfaction with the preview method and curriculum increased by 8.1% (t = 1.804, p = 0.081) and 11.1% (t = 1.861, p = 0.072), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The flipped classroom teaching model based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, combined with humanistic teaching objectives, can improve the efficacy of instruction, and merits popularizing and applying in the teaching of undergraduate students majoring in stomatology.

Unassessed chemical risks in academic centers challenge compliance with health, safety, and environmental policies. To address this, a pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of a new chemical risk management curriculum. Results showed a 57.4 % increase in participants’ knowledge of chemical safety and security principles. Awareness of the distinction between safety and security improved significantly, from 18.8 % to 42.6 %. Interest in learning more about chemical safety rose from 35 % to 50 %. Statistical analysis summarized the findings, including weighted mean, ranked mean, grouped standard deviation, count, and percentages. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test assessed differences between pre- and post-surveys, with a p-value of 0.05 or less confirming statistical significance. This pilot study demonstrates the curriculum’s potential to enhance chemical safety and security knowledge, offering a model for other universities to reduce incidents and improve compliance with safety protocols.

The Applications of Machine Learning in the Management of Patients Undergoing Stem Cell Transplantation: Are We Ready?

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a life-saving therapy for hematologic malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma and other severe conditions but is associated with significant risks, including graft versus host disease (GVHD), relapse, and treatment-related mortality. The increasing complexity of clinical, genomic, and biomarker data has spurred interest in machine learning (ML), which has emerged as a transformative tool to enhance decision-making and optimize outcomes in HSCT. This review examines the applications of ML in HSCT, focusing on donor selection, conditioning regimen, and prediction of post-transplant outcomes. Machine learning approaches, including decision trees, random forests, and neural networks, have demonstrated potential in improving donor compatibility algorithms, mortality and relapse prediction, and GVHD risk stratification. Integrating “omics” data with ML models has enabled the identification of novel biomarkers and the development of highly accurate predictive tools, supporting personalized treatment strategies. Despite promising advancements, challenges persist, including data standardization, algorithm interpretability, and ethical considerations regarding patient privacy. While ML holds promise for revolutionizing HSCT management, addressing these barriers through multicenter collaborations and regulatory frameworks remains essential for broader clinical adoption. In addition, the potential of ML can cope with some challenges such as data harmonization, patients’ data protection, and availability of adequate infrastructure. Future research should prioritize larger datasets, multimodal data integration, and robust validation methods to fully realize ML’s transformative potential in HSCT.
