Examining the relationship between online chatting and PISA reading literacy trends (2000-2018)

Strong claims have regularly been made in the popular media about the alleged negative effects of young people's language use in written exchanges via digital media (what is known as textese). This is especially believed to affect their reading and writing skills. However, the scientific research literature has hardly confirmed such effects. Its conclusions are generally based on cross-sectional comparisons between individuals who differ in how much they exchange written messages via digital media. In contrast, the present study examines to what extent per-country changes in the prevalence of online chatting coincide with changes in the reading literacy of consecutive student cohorts. This approach presents a novel perspective. The findings relate to data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) surveys conducted during 2000–2018. The data analysis showed a strong correlation between variations in per-country patterns regarding the spread of online chatting during 2000–2018 and changes in the reading literacy of 15-year-olds. Countries with low chatting prevalence in 2009 showed substantial improvement in reading literacy from 2000 to 2009. These trends typically reversed to declines when after 2009, online chatting prevalence sharply increased in those countries. A contrasting pattern applied to countries with high chatting prevalence in 2009 and decelerating growth in online chatting afterward.

Trend Analysis of Literacy and Gender Gap in Aligarh District of Uttar Pradesh

When you teach a man, you only educate one person; when you educate a woman, you educate a whole nation. Literacy is one of the most crucial abilities for personal and cultural growth and development, thus critical to India's socio-economic development. Because of the rapid changes in society and the economy, the value of literacy has grown in the modern world. Literacy gender disparities are a barrier in almost every undeveloped and developing country across the globe. While India has made every effort to ensure sex disparity in literacy is brought down as overall literacy levels increase year after year, to be reported every time a census is conducted, several aspects demand attention to date. However, a significant disparity based on gender has been seen in India at 16.27 percent, as per the 2011 census. This paper endeavors to study these complex issues and their dynamics in light of trends in literacy emerging in Aligarh District at the block level over the census conducted in 2001 and 2011. An attempt has been made to analyze changes in literacy patterns, decadal growth rates, and the gender gap in literacy in Aligarh district. This study is entirely based on secondary data collected from different sources, i.e., District Statistical Handbooks, Census of India, and statistical abstract. The literacy rate in the Aligarh district is 67.85 percent, and the female literacy rate is only 61.27 percent compared to the male literacy rate, i.e., 73.73 percent. Statistical techniques used in the analysis are simple percentages and the location quotient technique used to analyze the concentration of female literacy. ArcGIS 10.5 software is used to prepare maps. In this study, it has been found that there is a wide gender disparity in Aligarh District, which is 12.46 percent, whereas it is highest in Tappal and lowest in Lodha at the block level.

PPKN Sebagai Tonggak Rasa Patriotisme dan Nasionalisme Berkaitan dengan Identitas Nasional Bangsa Indonesia

Citizenship education is an integral part of the education system. Therefore, the civic education process needs to be carried out by courses and learning at all streams and levels of education. Functions and roles to achieve the goals of national education, civic education, develop, implement and apply in the context of the realization of the goals of national education. These three things become the basis and framework for thinking about and implementing Citizenship Education. There are several reasons why civic education is needed, namely symptoms and trends in non-political literacy or "political literacy" and not knowing how democracy and its system work; second, increasing political apathy is indicated by the participation of the most intellectual, emotional citizens. This is where the existence of Citizenship education is a very important tool for a democratic country, including Indonesia, to give birth to a country that is passed down from generation to generation and understands the values of the nation which is based on Pancasila and has skills.

A Comparative Studyof the Exclusionofgirl Child In School Education in India and Punjab

Exclusion in education takes into account “out-of-school children” or “dropouts” as well as all those who have never been to school and also those who are not in a position to attend school regularly. This study was conducted to assess the growth of literacy and enrolment trends of children in school education in terms of gender and caste in India and Punjab with special reference to rural areas. The dropout situation was also studied among children especially girls in school education and reasons for exclusion of children were also explored. Trends in educational indicators were analysed using qualitative as well as quantitative methods. Comparative analysis of literacy rates of India and Punjab revealed that Punjab has a higher literacy rate than India though India and Punjab both show increasing trends in the literacy rate. The number of females was found to be more illiterate than the males in both rural and urban areas of India. One out of every five males and one out of every three females in the country were found to be illiterate. These differentials in literacy rates are comparatively more pronounced in the districts falling in the Malwa belt of Punjab. In terms of enrolment, it was observed that the total enrolment was found to be higher at the primary stage. Enrolment was found to be comparatively lesser at upper primary stage. The secondary level had least enrolment. The percentage of never enrolled children was found to be higher than out of school and dropped-out children. The comparison of figures of Punjab with national figures indicated that the percentage of never enrolled children was higher in Punjab than national figures. Larger number of children from urban areas (4.77%) were found to be out of school than children from rural areas in Punjab. Out of school females (3.25%) were more than males (1.58%) and the percentage was much higher for rural areas than urban areas in Punjab. These values were even more than national figures. Therefore, the study concluded that a large number of girls especially from rural areas are still excluded from school education in Punjab.

‘Information literacy’: Japan’s challenge to measure skills beyond subjects

ABSTRACT Background: The assessment of cross-curricular skills is gaining attention in many countries. In Japan, the ‘Information Literacy Survey for Upper Secondary Students’ (the ILSUS) was designed to measure information literacy through Computer-Based Testing (CBT). It was the first large-scale survey based on Item Response Theory (IRT) implemented by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Purpose: This paper reports on the history and development of the survey and discusses its findings. As ‘information literacy’ is a generic and cross-curricular ability, we measured cognitive ability relating to how information can be utilised for problem-solving. Main argument: We present some released survey items that were actually used in the ILSUS, to explain how the items covered three aspects of ‘information literacy’. Using proficiency levels, we discuss what the findings indicated about the features of the students’ ‘information literacy’: it was evident that, whilst many had the ability to deal with complex and large amounts of information, few were able to address unfamiliar contexts. Then, using questionnaire items from the ILSUS, we report how we determined that ‘information literacy’ was strongly associated with ‘student-teacher relationships’ and ‘meta-cognition’. Conclusion: This account of the ILSUS offers insight into how we measured information literacy and, more widely, the kinds of skills that Japanese education policy is trying to develop. In planning a new Information Literacy Survey (ILS), we will try to capture what has not been clarified yet, such as the trends in information literacy and differences between educational stages. It may ultimately become possible to specify, more clearly, the goals and teaching methods that should be aimed at in the acquisition and teaching of information literacy.
