TEACHERS' OPİNİONS ON THEİR PREFERRED METHODS AND EXAM PRACTİCES WİTHİN THE FRAMEWORK OF GRAMMAR TEACHİNG İN TEACHİNG TURKİSH AS A FOREİGN LANGUAGE

Grammar teaching plays an important role in language learning. However, traditional teaching methods limit students' understanding of grammar rules, and therefore more innovative, student-centered approaches are required. In this study, the methods teachers use in teaching grammar and the types of exams they prefer will be examined, and solution strategies will be developed for the difficulties encountered in this process. The main purpose of the research is to examine the effects of the constructivist model and the contributions of modern measurement-evaluation methods to student success. In this study, qualitative research methods were used and it was carried out within the framework of phenomenological design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the data collection process and the data obtained from these interviews were analyzed with content analysis. The participants consisted of teachers with professional experience between 1-6 years, 7 of whom were female and 7 of whom were male. The interview form was started with 12 questions and was reduced to 9 questions as a result of the pilot application. The obtained data reveal the preferences of teachers about grammar teaching and exam types and the development strategies suggested in this process. Teachers use different exam types such as multiple choice, open-ended, performance assessment and portfolio to measure students' grammar level. In grammar teaching, student-centered, innovative methods are preferred; creative and interactive approaches such as story writing, guided discussions, song-poem analyses are used. Teachers recommend the use of technology-supported materials, the use of digital platforms, the increase of peer interaction, and the more effective use of portfolios and performance-based assessments. Recommendations for the study are that the use of digital tools should be increased, the use of materials related to real life in classroom activities should be encouraged, game-based learning applications should be increased, and group work should be supported. Such strategies can help students develop their language skills more effectively.

Gramsci y la Hegemonía como proceso discursivo material.

The objective of this article is an assessment of the role of the notion of Hegemony developed by Antonio Gramsci to respond to the limits of Ernesto Laclau's communicative-discursive analysis. At the same time, its framework is an analysis of the effectiveness of the formalist and constructivist model in which Habermas analyzes the impact of digital networks on public opinion. From a Political Economy of Communication approach, the relevance of the category and approach to hegemony in Gramsci's own conceptualization is assessed. Its validity derives from the complexity that communicative processes and discursive production currently manifest. Just as the unusual role of discourses and communicative practices play in the production of political subjectivity that regulates the relationship between state and civil society. The assessment of Gramsci's conceptualization of hegemony also serves as the basis for an analysis of the context of emergence of far-right discourses in Latin America, as well as their ability to dominate the public and political sphere.

Shaping Purpose-Driven Learning Through Creative Writing

Existing literature predominantly emphasizes policy frameworks and technological solutions, neglecting the transformative potential of creative writing in facilitating purpose-driven learning. In the context of advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this study addresses the underexplored role of creative writing as a catalyst for societal change and sustainable development. This research seeks to bridge this gap by employing a qualitative methodology that is grounded on a social constructivist model that subsists on focus group conversations and sharing between students and participants that enable the gathering of rich empirical material in the form of narrative responses. The narrative responses are utilized to inspire creative writing initiatives linked to purpose-driven learning. By analysing the impact of creative narratives, poetry, and storytelling on societal perceptions and behaviours, this study aims to uncover the mechanisms through which creative writing influences attitudes towards sustainability and promotes actionable engagement. The anticipated findings intend to showcase the efficacy of creative writing in fostering empathy, encouraging innovative thinking, and amplifying diverse voices, thus providing valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and practitioners involved in sustainable development endeavours.

Leader(ship) Identity Development and Meaning Making: A Scoping Review

Despite a growing body of scholarship on leader and leadership (i.e., leader[ship]) identity development (LID), there has been surprisingly little systematic attention devoted to the connection between LID and meaning making, which is notable because meaning making has been regarded as foundational to the LID process. Accordingly, the current scoping review explores the scholarship and key characteristics at the intersection of LID and meaning making. Specifically, the year of publication, research method and design, country of participants, and theories central to author justification are analyzed. After sharing the results, contributions, and implications for the constructs of LID and meaning making are outlined, with attention given to theoretical and methodological areas for future research. Finally, an integrated constructivist model of LID is proposed that urges leadership scholars and practitioners to incorporate developmental, identity, learning, and meaning‐making theories into their discussions of LID.

Predictive Processing, Rational Constructivism, and Bayesian Models of Development: Commentary.

This is a commentary for a special issue on predictive processing and rational constructivist models of development. Mainly I use the opportunity to ask a bunch of questions about what these theoretical frameworks show us (and what they do not) and mostly where the open questions still are. To get meta for a moment, I thought these questions were the best way to maximize the value of my commentary: They have the highest probability of leading to the most uncertainty reduction for our field in the long term. Please read in thatspirit.

Socratic Method in the Use of Web Tools

In the integral training of the student from the Being, to know, to know-how and to know-how to-be; the American University Corporation within its pedagogical model assumes a systemic model, self-regulating constructivist.; teaching and learning revolve around building knowledge from collaborative work, enabling student training. The constructivist model has its roots in philosophy, psychology, sociology and education. the verb build comes from the Latin struere, which means 'fix' or 'give structure'. Constructivism offers a new paradigm for this new era of information motivated by new technologies that have emerged in recent years. With the advent of these technologies (wikis, social networks, blogs...). In this model learning is active, not passive. people learn when they can control their learning, which generates a relatively permanent change in associations or mental representations as a result of the experience. Teaching addresses discrete learning strategies and models, Those addressed in this space are the Socratic Dialogue for the Development of Critical Thinking that seeks to develop skills in the students of Public Accounting that allow them to perform a reflective critical analysis and the methodology of Applied Projects in which the student is taken, individually or in a group to project something concrete and to execute it, giving you the opportunity to check ideas through your app and stimulate creative thinking.

Constructivism-based pathways: Revolutionizing EFL writing instruction for adult learners

In the ongoing pursuit of continuous pedagogical improvement, eclectic teachers find themselves inundated with a multitude of engaging approaches, methods, and techniques. The selection of these should ideally be based on informed pedagogy, with due consideration given to the particular needs of the learners. Through reflective self-inquiry , this paper aims to reveal how a thoughtful teacher reflects on her everyday teaching practices in order to transform them into a more constructivist model of instruction by the stages of initiation, focus on the self, data collection, taking accountability, iterative reflection, and information generation. A description is provided of how the EFL writing classes taught by the author at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta were managed. This is then confronted with some literature about andragogy and constructivist learning, providing a proposed model for improving future constructivist-based EFL writing instruction for adult learners. The constructivist approach to EFL writing proposed involves several key steps, from conditioning, collaborative inquiry, engaging feedback, work display, to reflective exam, all of which become comprehensive stages within one semester learning in writing courses.

Alternative Framework in Electrochemistry among Secondary Schools Students in Johor, Malaysia

The presence of an alternative framework in the students’ minds acts as the main hindrance to students exhibiting profound understanding of scientific concepts, which in turn promotes the application of scientific knowledge to solve daily life context problems. This research is done in two phases. In the first phase, the research aims to identify the alternative framework among students on the concept of electrochemistry, and in the second phase, it develops an instructional module for secondary school students on the concept of electrochemistry by using the five-phase Needham constructivism model approach to overcome the alternative framework that exists in the students’ minds. In this paper, however, only the findings of the first phase are reported. The instrument used for this study is the electrochemistry test developed based on previous research and validated by experts. This paper and pencil test is used in the first phase of the research as a data collection tool. This research adapted a quantitative research design. The data from the electrochemistry test is analyzed using statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS) 20.0 to get the descriptive data as findings of the first phase of the study. The findings of the first phase of this study indicate that the conceptualization level of students in electrochemistry is poor. Multiple alternative frameworks among students were identified from the analysis of the students’ responses. This study contributed to existing literature by identifying the alternative frameworks present precisely in electrochemistry. The study recommends incorporating mobile technologies in the data collection process and in developing online instructional modules to be more accessible to educators throughout the country and to steer the chemistry education world to a higher level in the Malaysian education system. Enlightening the alternative framework existent in the students’ knowledge schemata immensely facilitates educators worldwide in planning their instructional approach in the classroom for this specific scientific concept.

Analysing the teaching-learning process in the university virtual classroom at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic / Analizando el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el aula virtual universitaria al inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19

The scientific community is facing one of its greatest challenges to solve a global health problem such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation has generated an unprecedented volume of publications. The impact of COVID-19 on teaching has meant that moments of social contact have disappeared in exchange for meetings, classes, exams or virtual meetings. In this scenario, the university virtual classrooms when reopened will not be the same. The aim of the study was to identify the scientific publications on the teaching-learning process in university virtual classrooms during the period from 2019 to mid-2020, that is, from its beginnings until June 2020. For this, a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature was performed. The number of publications in the period of the pandemic in the most diverse disciplines is reported, as well as the interaction between research clusters. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the serious deficiencies of our educational system, due to the poor theoretical-methodological preparation of teachers, and, in addition, it has revealed the fallacy that the constructivist model is the only way to educate our students.

What Exactly is Studied When Ethnicity is Researched? A Descriptive Model for Constructivist Studies of Ethnicity in the Context of the Cognitive Turn

This article presents a descriptive theoretical-methodological model developed based on contemporary constructivist approaches to ethnicity research and situated within the context of the cognitive turn occurring in social sciences in general, and ethnicity studies in particular. This synthetic model addresses the question of what specifically needs to be researched when studying ethnicity and also provides tools for the operationalization of ethnicity for empirical research. Broadly, the model describes differentiating collective representations. The key elements of the model are ethnic categories and their relations, which are associated with various attributes divided into first and second-order attributes, also included in the model. The third type of elements in the model are general representations of the nature of ethnicity, characterizing the construction of ethnicity as a whole, understood as the entire collection of categories, attributes, and general representations in interrelation. The construction of ethnicity and its individual elements are the focus of empirical research, and the article also presents approaches to the operationalization of ethnicity within specific research designs. By accumulating contemporary approaches and distancing itself from other constructivist models (R. Brubaker, K. Chandra, A. Wimmer, and R. Jenkins), the article thus offers a transparent conceptualization of ethnicity, as well as concrete solutions for empirical research. It is addressed to researchers who, in one way or another, deal with ethnicity in their studies, yet lack a clear understanding of what exactly is being discussed when ethnicity is researched and what can be the focus of empirical investigations.

Construction of Audience Perceptions of Jang Hansol's Personal Branding in YouTube Vlog Content at Santa Maria Catholic High School Malang

With the increasingly rapid development of technology and information, it is necessary to follow changes in the use of information technology as part of cultural changes in society itself. And currently social media is the most effective medium for promotion and information fields that can be used to see the extent to which people care and care about other people's work. One of the information and promotion platforms is YouTube as an audio visual that is easy to see and hear. by society. A person who has a YouTube account is called a YouTuber. The term YouTuber has become popular in recent years, and YouTubers have emerged with daily vlog content. A YouTuber who has many subscribers with positive content is Jang Hansol with the name YouTube Korea Reomit. This YouTuber from South Korea started his career on August 26 2016. Netizens have become well-known to his name because of his ability to speak Javanese, complete with his trademark medhok accent, because he has lived in Indonesia, especially the city of Malang, for dozens of years. This research uses qualitative methods to obtain overall results and conclusions. This research examines social reality using a tectonic model. The constructivist model is almost the antithesis of the understanding that places observation and objectivity in the search for facts or science. This model views social science as a systematic analysis of socially meaningful action through direct and detailed observation of social actors involved in creating and maintaining/administering managing their social world. The results of this research from the sensation stage show that audience vision allows a person to observe facial expressions, body gestures and visual appearances which are part of a person's personal branding. Information processed through the sense of sight helps the audience form an initial impression of the person, such as whether they exhibit confidence, expertise, or a certain personality. Audiences use the sense of sight to form an initial impression of someone's personal branding through observing facial expressions, body gestures and visual appearance. Audiences use their sense of hearing to form an initial impression of other people's personal branding by capturing voice intonation, speaking style and verbal messages, as well as providing information based on what they hear. The conclusion of this research is that Jang Hansol's personal branding through online platforms is the key to building her unique identity and achieving professional goals. Audiences experience stages of sensation, attention, and interpretation when watching Jang Hansol's actions. The opinions formed from his personal branding reflect the diversity of perspectives and audiences' understanding of the character and values he displays. Jang Hansol's personal branding also influences the formation of audience trust, with consistency, authenticity and integrity being key elements in this process.The trust that is built influences how the audience interacts with Jang Hansol in the future. Apart from that, Jang Hansol's personal branding also influences audience decisions.

Effects of Cabri 3D Activities Blended into the 5E Model on Geometry Success

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics recommends using effective teaching methods to develop geometric thinking. Among the constructivist approach models, the 5E model has come to the fore in the active participation of the learner and the creation of their own knowledge. In constructivist models, it is recommended to use information and communication technologies together. The number of studies using the technology-supported 5E model in mathematics teaching is limited. In this article, the effect of activities suitable for the 5E model supported by Cabri 3D geometry software on geometry success has been examined. Student views on Cabri 3D activities were presented. The study was built on the quasi-experimental method. Activities suitable for the Cabri 3D and 5E model were applied to the experimental group students. The control group students conducted their lessons with textbook activities. Academic Achievement Test was applied to the study group students. After the application, the experimental group was interviewed. SPSS and descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of this study, it can be said that teaching with the Cabri 3D supported 5E model increases the geometry success of the students and most of the students have positive opinions about Cabri 3D.

Антропологическое нашествие

The author of the article explores the problem of studying the phenomena of ethnicity and ethnicity based on the analysis of the national theory of ethnicity and the Western concept of ethnicity. Their long-term opposition against the background of the change of the national ideology from socialist to bourgeois led to the dominance of the constructivist model of understanding the phenomenon of “ethnic” in society. Anthropologism has taken a monopoly position in it, claiming to study any socio-cultural problems of modern society. The current attempt by a group of scientists to defend the past theoretical achievements of domestic ethnographers / ethnologists comes across an established stereotype of thinking that developed in the post-Soviet era.
