A Perspective on the Current Situation of Children’s Education and Teachers’ Moral Cultivation Combined with Decision Tree Algorithm

Abstract The enhancement of children’s education quality necessitates a high level of teacher moral literacy. This paper employs data mining techniques to elaborate on the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) model within logistic regression and decision tree algorithms. Data pertinent to elementary school education were collected via questionnaires, followed by data cleaning and segmentation. The parameters of the CART model were optimized using a Bayesian algorithm, and its efficacy was validated through a dataset to support the exploration of factors influencing the developmental level of children’s education. Additionally, data regarding teachers’ moral literacy were gathered and analyzed using binary logistic regression within the logistic regression framework. The analysis revealed that the accuracy of the CART decision tree model reached 90%, with the error converging to zero at 50 trees. Key determinants such as willpower and communication abilities in children’s education were influenced by exercise duration, time spent in interest classes, gender, and parents’ educational levels. The mean score for teachers’ moral literacy was 4.349±0.465. Notably, teachers with low salary satisfaction exhibited a moral literacy level that was only 0.517 times that of their counterparts with high salary satisfaction. Establishing a scientifically sound and reasonable salary management system is crucial. Such a system can ignite teachers’ enthusiasm for teaching, substantially enhancing their moral literacy, which in turn positively impacts the level of children’s educational development.

The Effectiveness of The Free Senior High School Policy in Ghana: A Moral Development Perspective

The secondary agents of social connections are schools. Since schools have access to trained professionals and resources, it is assumed that this is the only place where students’ moral and ethical development can be reinforced and flourish. As a result, the school’s role is to support students in developing their moral judgment. However, present students’ behaviour in the post-free senior high school period is getting out of hand, both on school campuses and in society. This has raised a lot of questions about the effectiveness of the free senior high school policy on students’ moral development. This necessitated research into how the policy has affected students’ conduct and moral development. The researchers employed a descriptive survey design for this study. Interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data from forty-one (41) participants, consisting of twenty-one (21) students, ten (10) teachers, and ten (10) parents in Sefwi Wiawso Municipality in the Western North Region of Ghana. It was established that the policy has led to mass moral literacy (moral education). On the other hand, other challenges have impaired students’ moral development. The findings call for and necessitate that those with a vested interest in the free senior high school policy do an evaluation and revision of the program. Keywords: Ghana, Free Senior High School Policy, Morality, and Moral Development, Double Track System

Seeing like an epidemiologist? Mobilising people against COVID-19.

Diaries and other materials in the Mass Observation Archive have been characterised as intersubjective and dialogic. They have been used to study top-down and bottom-up processes, including how ordinary people respond to sociological constructs and, more broadly, the footprint of social science in the 20th century. In this article, we use the Archive's COVID-19 collections to study how attempts to govern the pandemic by mobilising ordinary people to see like an epidemiologist played out in the United Kingdom during 2020. People were asked to think in terms of populations and groups; rates, trends, and distributions; the capacity of public services; and complex systems of causation. How did they respond? How did they use the statistics, charts, maps, concepts, identities, and roles they were given? We find evidence of engagement with science plural; confident and comfortable engagement with epidemiological terms and concepts; sceptical and reluctant engagement with epidemiological subject positions; use of both scientific and moral literacy to negotiate regulations and guidance; and use of scientific literacy to compare and judge government performance. Governing the pandemic through scientific literacy was partially successful, but in some unexpected ways.
