Evaluation of the Opinions of Turkish Citizens Living in Kilis on Syrian Refugees

This research was carried out to determine the views of Turkish citizens living in Kilis about Syrian refugees. In the research, the phenomenology method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used and an interview form consisting of semi-structured questions was applied. The sample of the research consists of 42 Turkish citizens living in Kilis and having social contacts with asylum seekers. The data obtained through interviews were interpreted by dividing them into themes and sub-themes using content analysis methods. As a result of the research, it was determined that the problems in areas such as economic, social and education reached high levels due to the fact that Turkish citizens living in Kilis live in the provinces of Syrian refugees. Results such as the emergence of classes with a large number of students in schools, not speaking Turkish, problems of adaptation and attendance to schools, cultural and social incompatibility have been achieved.

Evaluation of the virtual learning environment by school students and their parents in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic after school closure.

Very few previous studies have involved school students or their parents in the evaluation of virtual learning environment (VLE). Thus, this survey was performed to evaluate the satisfaction of both school students and their parents with the VLE in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was distributed online for VLE evaluation. The questionnaire was based on previous studies and expert opinions from validated instruments for assessing distance education, integrative and literature reviews of VLE environment. A median value >3 indicated participant satisfaction in each of the 5 domains of the questionnaire as well as overall VLE satisfaction. The used questionnaire was checked after its implementation by all possible statistical means and it was found to be of acceptable validity and reliability. Six hundred and ninety-three participants including 571 Saudi citizens and 122 non-Saudi residents participated in this survey. The number of school students who agreed or strongly agreed were significantly lower than the number of students who disagreed or strongly disagreed with preferring the VLE over traditional education (p<0.001). The participants evaluated the VLE experience as unsatisfactory with a median value ≤3 for 4 out of 5 questionnaire domains with an overall satisfaction value of 2.8. Among the 117 participants who gave further written opinions/comments, 42(35.9%) participants supported the VLE as an alternative to traditional classrooms, if equipment and internet are made available and for the safety of their children. This is one of few available adequate population-based studies for exploring the VLE satisfaction of both Saudi citizens and non-Saudi residents school students and their parents. This study showed the participants' unsatisfactory VLE experience. The VLE is accepted as an alternative to traditional classrooms to keep up with learning and to maintain the safety of children and it can be a supplementary learning method but many measures are still needed to develop the VLE.

Особенности демографической ситуации Республики Татарстан в разрезе экономики

This article features the demographic situation and its impact on the economic processes in the Republic of Tatarstan, in particular, the decrease in the number of able-bodied population and the issues of sustainable economic development of the region in the future. The author analyzed the local migration processes and the economic situation in the Republic of Tatarstan. The research objective was to explain the decline in the population of the Republic of Tatarstan in 2019–2021. The article introduces a comparative analysis of official statistical data on demography, economy, and number of school students in 2019–2021. The conducted research clearly demonstrates the on-going migration from this economically prosperous region to larger cities. The annual students’ migration eventually resulted in the loss of labor force. The author believes that statistical data on the number of school students can predict the scale of migration and the future of the economy of a particular region.

Research on Design Scheme of Multi-campus College Student Management System Based on Cloud Computing

With the continuous expansion of the enrollment scale of colleges and universities, the number of students in school has doubled, and the amount of student information has increased dramatically; In addition, due to the development and merger of colleges and universities, there are many campuses in many colleges and universities, which are accompanied by the dispersion of students and administrators. To facilitate unified management, a multi-campus college student management system based on cloud computing is designed and developed, which integrates information management, statistical analysis, online information publishing and collection. This paper expounds the system analysis, functional module design, system design and key technologies involved in the process of system implementation. Through the interaction among various models, a complete and dynamic system is formed, which is committed to the management of multi-campus students, so as to improve the autonomous management, self-positioning and self-improvement.

Community-Based Preventive and Oral Health Promotion Programs in Early Diagnosis of Oral Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: It is very important to identify common oral health problems, particularly in rural areas, and counsel the patients screened for a particular oral disease for early treatment to prevent the progression of oral disease. The present study was conducted among the adult population and school students residing in rural areas to identify any oral disease at the earliest. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among schoolchildren and adults residing in rural areas. Seventeen villages were selected on the basis of cluster sampling methodology. A total of 1892 individuals constituted the final sample size after making necessary exclusions. Statistical calculations were done using Chi-square test. Results: A number of school students were 1230 and 662 were adults. A number of male patients having pit and fissure caries were comparatively more as compared to females (45% and 36%, respectively). Periodontal disease and oral precancerous lesions were more prevalent in the 46–60-year age group. There was a statistically significant association between gender and pit and fissure caries in schoolchildren (P = 0.027). Conclusion: It is concluded from the present study that screening camps play a pivotal role in diagnosing a dental disease at the earliest and thus halting its progression.

MODERN APPROACHES OF STUDENT'S SOCIAL HEALTH FORMATION IN THE PROCESS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Objective: to ascertain the influence of the updated Physical Education syllabus in the context of forming social health of secondary school students, as well as motivation of schoolchildren for Physical Education classes. Material: 457 school students (230 females and 227 males) of the 6th and 7th grades (aged 12-13) from different regions of Ukraine were respondents of the survey. Method: observation, interviews and the authors’ questionnaires (‘Interest in Physical Education’with the use of customized tests by M. Ginzburg (Zaniuk, 2002), questionnaires ‘value orientations’ by M. Rokeach (Rozov, 2005), ‘Orientation towards Increasing Social Health of a Person’, as well as a questionnaire on the need of accomplishments by Yu. Orlov and Reyzas Assertiveness Schedule (Big Encyclopedia of Psychological Tests, 2007).Results: It was discovered that in 2008-2009 only 23.7% of schoolchildren liked physical education classes. Within this period of time, 18.5% of school students had a high level of orientation towards improving their own social health. The corrections made in 2012 to Physical Education syllabus contributed to an increase in the number of school students with a high level of motivation for Physical Education classes(+ 41.7%), as well as the number of students who had a high level of orientation towards improving their own social health (+23.3%). Positive changes were also recorded after the improvement of Physical Education syllabus in 2017 (under conditions of Physical Education reformation in Ukraine). The number of schoolchildren with a high level of motivation for Physical Education classes increased by 10.5% compared with the results recorded in 2012-2016. The number of students aimed at improving their own state of social health increased by 17.1%.The content of Physical Education syllabus of years 2012 and 2017 has significant advantages over the syllabus of the Soviet times in the context of developing students’ desire to be engaged in Physical Education on the whole and improve their own level of social health in particular. It is characterized by the improvement of the system of assessing schoolchildren’s achievements in physical fitness, the option to increase the amount of time devoted to students’ mastering various kinds of sports that are of particular interest to them, and the focus on providing schoolchildren with key life competencies.

Investigating the school characteristics/attributes via the relationships between school management efficiency and representative factors of mobile e-learning: DEA and data mining methodology

The aim of this study is to detect the school characteristics/attributes by examining the efficiency of school management related to innovative teaching through digital mobile e-learning. This will be conducted by evaluating the results of DEA efficiency measure and data mining method (DMM).The results of DMM indicate that the schools with the total number of students in schools about 1400-3000 persons, the teacher-student ratio between 7.4 %-8.0 %, the tablet PC numbers about 1200-3000 units, the technical teacher ratio of digital mobile e-learning is about 8%-16% and the total equipment expenses associated with tablet PC about the range of 1.5-3.0 Million NTD could obtain higher operational efficiency of school management through Innovative Teaching via Digital Mobile e-learning. Based on the analytical results, the ranks of school management efficiency could divide into three groups, in the high-efficiency group (TE=1), there are three public high schools and one private higher vocational school. These all high schools are in northern Taiwan. In the medium-efficiency group (TE 0.85∼0.99), there is only one school in northern Taiwan. The low-efficiency school group (TE <0.85), there are three public schools and one private high vocational school. The three public schools are in northern Taiwan while one private high vocational school is in eastern Taiwan. In practice, we find that the public high schools are more efficient than the private high schools and public high schools are more efficient than private high schools that can achieve digital mobile e-learning. Also, and schools located in northern Taiwan more efficient than elsewhere. These research findings can also become a reference for educational institutions in developing strategies and policies for digital mobile e-learning in high school of Taiwan area.

Мета. На основі аналізу фахової літератури, провідного вітчизняного та зарубіжногопрактичного досвіду вивчити сучасні підходи до корекції дефіциту маси тіла дівчат підлітковоговіку засобами оздоровчого фітнесу. Матеріали і методи. Використовували такі методи до-слідження: теоретичний аналіз спеціальної науково-методичної літератури, документальнихматеріалів, компаративний метод з метою зіставлення та аналізу зарубіжного й вітчизняногодосвіду з досліджуваної проблеми; абстрагування, логіко-теоретичний аналіз. Результати.Встановлено, що дефіцит маси тіла є характерним для значної кількості сучасних школярів(від 11 до 25 %). Незважаючи на значну поширеність недостатньої маси тіла серед дівчат-підлітків співставну з частотою надмірної ваги у розвинутих країнах, більшість програм,пов’язаних із здоров’ям, орієнтовані на профілактику ожиріння та боротьбу з ним, у той час,як проблема дефіциту маси тіла в цих програмах зазвичай не розглядається. Вітчизняніта зарубіжні дослідники звертають увагу на важливість своєчасної корекції недостатньоїмаси тіла. У дівчат з недостатньою масою тіла суттєво підвищується ризик остеопорозу,підлітки з недостатньою масою мають негативний образ тіла та характеризуються швидкоюстомлюваністю, частою захворюваністю, низькою навчальною успішністю, мають недостатнійрепродуктивний потенціал. Підлітки з недостатньою масою тіла мають більш низький рівеньфізичної підготовленості, що лімітує їх участь у програмах рухової активності. Як основні длякорекції фізичного стану дітей підліткового віку з дефіцитом маси тіла науковці рекомендуютьзасоби оздоровчого фітнесу, зокрема, фізичні вправи, спрямовані на збільшення м’язовоїмаси тіла, зміну харчового раціону, психокорекційні вправи. Висновки. З’ясовано, щопрограми оздоровчого фітнесу для дівчат-підлітків з дефіцитом маси тіла є недостатньообґрунтованими. Потребують додаткового вивчення питання, що стосуються недостатньоїмаси тіла дівчат, які мають значний попередній руховий досвід. З огляду на значну поширеністьта негативні наслідки недостатньої маси тіла для дівчат-підлітків, актуальним видаютьсядослідження, спрямовані на підвищення рівня фізичного стану та нормалізацію дефіциту маситіла даного контингенту на основі використання засобів фітнесу.

СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКАЯ ЗНАЧИМОСТЬ КОЛИЧЕСТВЕННОГО И КАЧЕСТВЕННОГО РАЗВИТИЯ СЕЛЬСКИХ ТЕРРИТОРИЙ

The research was carried out to determine the essence, content and trends of social and economic development of rural areas in the Republic of Tatarstan. The work was carried out using general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, abstract-logical, monographic and comparative. The proceedings for the study was the data of the Territorial Branch of Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Tatarstan. It is shown that the development of rural areas of Tatarstan is influenced by structural changes in the agricultural sector, the growth of the number of peasant (farm) farms, the modernization of large agricultural organizations, ongoing measures to support other industries and social infrastructure of the village, the level of employment and life of rural residents. In 2019 at the disposal of peasant (farm) farms and individual entrepreneurs there were 306.1 thousand hectares of arable land, or 9 % of the national volume. The dominant role in improving the quality of life in rural areas is played by the degree of economic development, the amount of financial investment in production, in preserving the natural environment and improving the social sphere. In 2018, investments in fixed assets aimed at environmental protection and rational use of natural resources amounted to 5820.9 million rubles. The criterion for assessing the development of rural areas is a comprehensive indicator that includes the level of agricultural development, the efficiency of other industries and enterprises in the area, and the quality of use of other resources. From 2014 to 2018, the production of agricultural products in all categories of farms in the Republic of Tatarstan (in actual prices) increased from 184,289 to 22,6034 million rubles, or by 22.7 %. the number of students in schools and extended-day groups in rural areas increased from 10,260 to 11,646 people, or by 1,386 schoolchildren. Rural areas of Tatarstan are provided with industrial and social facilities, and work is underway to improve soil fertility. From 2014 to 2018 the use of mineral fertilizers per 1 ha of seeding increased from 47 to 55 kg, or 17.0 %

Refugee Children from the point of School Administrators and Teachers’ Experiences

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;In the present study, perceptions of Turkish school administrators and teachers towards Syrian refugee children were examined through metaphors. 71 school administrators and 242 teachers from 27 different provinces of Turkey participated in the study. As a result of the study, the metaphors produced by school administrators were grouped into four categories: “child with cultural adaptation and belonging problems”, “fragile and needy child”, “child who is no different from other children” and “problematic child”. The metaphors produced by teachers were grouped into six categories: “child with cultural adaptation and belonging problems”, “child who is no different from other children”, “fragile and needy child”, “problematic child”, “child who can reveal her/his potential with interest” and “compatible child”. Participants' perceptions of refugee children were not related to gender but there was a significant relationship between professional seniority and the number of refugee children at school. Although school administrators and teachers have positive perceptions about refugee children, their negative perceptions are largely due to the lack of professional experience and the high number of students at school. Providing vocational support to teachers and administrators, planning the number of students in schools, and providing resources to schools will improve positive perceptions about refugee children.&lt;/p&gt;

Using Pooled Heteroskedastic Ordered Probit Models to Improve Small-Sample Estimates of Latent Test Score Distributions

This article describes an extension to the use of heteroskedastic ordered probit (HETOP) models to estimate latent distributional parameters from grouped, ordered-categorical data by pooling across multiple waves of data. We illustrate the method with aggregate proficiency data reporting the number of students in schools or districts scoring in each of a small number of ordered “proficiency” levels. HETOP models can be used to estimate means and standard deviations of the underlying (latent) test score distributions but may yield biased or very imprecise estimates when group sample sizes are small. A simulation study demonstrates that the pooled HETOP models described here can reduce the bias and sampling error of standard deviation estimates when group sample sizes are small. Analyses of real test score data demonstrate the use of the models and suggest the pooled models are likely to improve estimates in applied contexts.

Attendance System with Face Recognition

Marking Attendance is the most common way to know the physical presence of an individual. But it is challenging when it comes to manual attendance system, which is followed in most of the places. Calling out each student's registration number one by one is a tedious task. Day by Day the number of students in schools and universities is increasing hence, making it more difficult in managing and maintaining the attendance records. Automation is the need in every sector to reduce the human effort. Computer vision is a part of automation where computer replicates the human vision system and performs an understanding of useful information from images. It is a boon for many problems, attendance system can also be transformed from manual sheets to face recognition. This paper proposes a framework for developing an attendance system using Face Recognition. This system comprises an Android Application that can be installed on professor's mobile phone. Through the application, the camera can be unlocked to capture images. Each student’s image is captured and stored for training. OpenCV is used with a machine learning algorithm to search for faces within a single image. Once faces are found it is trained using KNN (K Nearest Neighbor) classifier. New images are compared with pre-existing images stored in the database using the KNN algorithm. Attendance is automatically recorded when the faces are matched, if not either the student is new and it is added in database or it is declared as a false attendance i.e., proxy. In this way accuracy is also maintained, thus making attendance process easier and efficient.

Implementing the school-wide autism competency model to improve outcomes for students on the autism spectrum: a multiple case study of three schools

ABSTRACT The rising number of students in schools identified as being on the autism spectrum has placed pressure on school leaders and staff to gain knowledge and take on new practice. A school-wide autism competency (SAC) approach utilises the research on elements of effective practice to build the capacity of school leaders and staff to create inclusive school cultures, implement evidence-based strategies, and improve outcomes for students on the autism spectrum. This paper reports on the experiences of three schools as they implemented the SAC approach in Queensland, Australia. A multiple case study design was utilised to examine the factors that influenced the implementation process and outcomes achieved at each school. Factors that influenced each school’s ability to transform their practice for students on the autism spectrum included engagement of leaders, support from an external coach, involvement of parents, realignment of resources and staff, and the ability to manage change and competing priorities. Findings revealed that although all three schools increased staff’s knowledge of students on the autism spectrum, the engagement and actions of leaders and the underlying culture of the school influenced the degree to which changes were implemented and outcomes were realised for students on the autism spectrum.

Pengabdian Masyarakat SMPN 4 Ungaran Pelatihan Kader Kesehatan Remaja Tentang Status Gizi Remaja Dan Deteksi Dini Masalah Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja

Teenagers are often classified as a group that is always healthy away from risk factors for illness, but many health problems suffered by adolescents due to behavioral factors that can actually be prevented. Teenagers are faced with complex problems related to physical, psychological and emotional changes that cause teens to experience health problems. Some health problems that often occur are nutrition and reproductive health. Prevention can be done if students make early detection of nutritional problems and adolescent reproductive health problems with the support of the environment both at home and at school. The obstacle that often occurs in schools is a fairly large comparison between the number of health service providers and the number of students in school. The role of adolescent health cadres to help adolescents be more comfortable discussing about nutrition and adolescent reproductive health issues. In connection with these problems, community service programs provide solutions to improve students' knowledge of adolescent nutritional status and early detection of adolescent reproductive health problems through training and mentoring of adolescent health cadres. The activity began with the training of adolescent health cadres totaling 18 grade 7 students through active learning learning methods. From these activities it was found there was an increase in the knowledge of adolescent health cadres after the training. The next activity was an accompanying adolescent health cadre to conduct health education with peers consisting of class 8 totaling 54 students. The result is an increase in knowledge. The next activity is the evaluation of activities with the school principal and Wa.Ka. students, and obtained results that this activity will be continued with other class targets using the media that has been given.Keywords: Health cadres, adolescent nutrition, adolescent reproductive health

HUBUNGAN KAUSALITAS ANTARA PENGELUARAN PENDIDIKAN DAN JUMLAH PENDUDUK YANG BERSEKOLAH FORMAL DI KABUPATEN ACEH BARAT

This study aims to determine the relationship between government expenditure in the education sector on the number of people who attend formal schools in West Aceh Regency in the period 2005-2015. The model used is the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model to see if there is a causality relationship between the education expenditure variable and the number of school students in West Aceh. Based on the Granger Causality Test on the two variables namely education expenditure and number of schools shows that there is no causality relationship between the two variables during the period 2005 to 2015. This is because many other factors influence government expenditure and the number of schools both government policy variables that do not looking at the number of schools, the problem of budget compliance in allocating education costs as much as 20 to the influence of budget politics. The influence of the education budget in the short term sometimes increases also decreases its influence unstable every period sometimes negative as well as the number of schools each period Keywords: Education Expenditures, Number of School Students and Vector Autoregressive (VAR)

The impact on education of Astronomical Olympiads and the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics

Astronomical Olympiads and similar competitions for highschool students have been run in some countries for more than half a century, and last year marked the tenth anniversary of the largest such competition with global reach, the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics. The effect of these has been to reach out to a large number of school students who might not otherwise have considered astronomy as a subject; help maintain a high, guided standard of astronomy education even in countries where astronomy is not (or no longer) on the curriculum; and to encourage those students who participate to strive harder and pursue astronomy further by giving them goals to aim for, rewarding their efforts with medals, recognition and participation in the international events in interesting locations and, above all, showing them that there are many other students just like them both in their own country and around the world. Many of the students go on to careers in astronomy education or research. We believe that Astronomy Olympiads are a very valuable element in the astronomy education framework which can be used to further the common goal of sustaining and growing the astronomical community.

Attitude towards Mental Illness among Secondary School Students in Asmara, Eritrea: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Secondary School students (SSs) are important members of the community; hence their attitude towards mental illness can be highly influential. Mentally ill individuals are not only suffering from the illness but also suffering from the stigmatizing attitude generated by the community. The objectives of this study were to determine attitude of SSs towards mental illness and its associated factors. A cross-sectional study design employing stratified random sampling was applied to select a sample of 402 students. Data was obtained using a self-administered Belief towards Mental Illness (BMI) questionnaire. Independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to determine possible differences in scores of attitude. From a total of 21 BMI scale items, positive attitudes were found in eight items and negative attitudes were found in the remaining thirteen. The mean score of the full BMI scale was 2.47 (95% CI: 2.41, 2.54). The mean (95% CI) scores of dangerousness, poor social relations and incurability, and shame subscales were 2.68 (2.60, 2.76), 2.55 (2.48, 2.62), and 1.22 (1.09, 1.34), respectively. A significant negative correlation was found between attitude scores and the average mark of students (r = -0.257, p<0.0001). Moreover, significant differences in attitude scores were observed between students with a relative of mental illness and those without such a relative (p=0.004). There was an increasing trend of positive attitudes with increased educational level among 9th, 10th, and 11th graders (p-trend<0.0001) and with an increase in the educational level of the students father (p-trend=0.028). However, no significant difference in attitude score was found across categories of sex, religion, living condition of father, presence of a mentally ill neighbor, educational level of mother, or ethnicity. In conclusion, considerable numbers of SSs have negative attitudes towards mental illness. Implementation of programs that enhance positive attitudes towards mentally ill individuals is recommended.

A study on school health policies and programs in the southeast of Iran: a regression analysis.

BackgroundInvesting in adolescent health is one of the most important interventions in the health system. Accordingly, health-promoting schools organize their policies, methods, infrastructures, and activities towards protecting and promoting the health and well-being of the students, teachers, directors, authorities and society as a whole.ObjectiveTo study the health policies of schools in the southeast of Iran.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out on all governmental high schools (113 schools) which were enrolled by census sampling method in January 2017, in Zahedan, in the southeast of Iran. The study tool was a validated questionnaire about the “School Health Policies and Programs” that was completed by the principals or staff of the schools. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 15, using descriptive statistic and linear regression test.ResultsAbout one-third of the schools did not have a health educator. Some policies, including annual medical examinations, having a healthy breakfast at school, healthy food supply at lower prices in school buffets, and counseling the students with special conditions in schools were not implemented. The most inter-sectoral cooperation was among the health centers (47.8%). The mean score of health policy implementation in schools was 89.70±11.51. Linear regression analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between type of school (p<0.05) and number of students in schools as well as attendance of a health educator in schools (p<0.001) with health policiesConclusionsDespite the implementation of the program in Iran in recent years, there are no clear and identical policies in the schools. Therefore, there is need to establish health policy committees in schools from among staff, teachers, parents, and students. In addition, success of the program requires inter-sectoral collaboration, supporting environmental health and improvement of parents’ relationships with the school.
