Digital Competences of Pre-service Teachers in Italy and Poland

The aim of this research was to compare the level of digital competence of future pedagogical staff (students of pedagogical faculties) in Italy and Poland. The research was conducted using original measurement tools and knowledge tests. The triangulation of techniques and research tools made possible the determination of the level of knowledge of the positive and negative features of the development of the information society, as well as the proficiency and frequency of use of the most popular websites and software. The research was conducted in the first half of 2022 using stratified sampling in both countries (N = 1209, IT = 604, PL = 605). Based on the data collected, it was noted that: (1) Pre-service teachers most often use software such as word processors and presentation creation tools; (2) This group very rarely uses software to create web pages, create visual material, or edit video; (3) The least problematic software that students use are word processors and multimedia presentations; (4) Among the typical ICT mediated activities that cause problems are: searching for and installing freeware (PL), installing and configuring parental control software (PL, IT), creating websites (PL, IT), searching for freely licensed images, and identifying plagiarism (PL); (5) Polish students have more theoretical knowledge about e-risks and the possibilities of the digital world than their Italian counterparts; (6) In most domains, the Italian future teachers rate their competences higher; (7) 53.81% of the respondents in IT and 38.68% in PL received lower results in competence tests, and handling ICT in selected areas causes problems for these students; (8) Both in PL and IT the frequency of ICT use and its seamless integration are predictors for assessing the effectiveness of ICT use in education.

Плагіат: що це в нас і як його розуміють у Європі?

Останніми роками наукова громадськість у світі все більше уваги приділяє боротьбі з плагіатом. Адже плагіат врешті-решт гальмує розвиток науки. Українське законодавство, а саме закон України «Про авторське право та суміжні права», Закон України «Про інформацію» дають тлумачення поняття плагіату. Згідно зі ст. 50 Закону «Про авторське право та суміжні права», плагіат — це оприлюднення (опублікування), повністю або частково, чужого твору під іменем особи, яка не є автором цього твору.Оприлюднення означає створення можливості ознайомлення з твором інших осіб шляхом опублікування, публічного виконання, публічного показу, публічної демонстрації, публічного сповіщення тощо.На практиці виділяють такі види плагіату, як:1. Копіювання чужої роботи (як без, так і з відома) та оприлюднення її під своїм іменем.2. Надання суміші власних та запозичених в інших аргументів без належного цитування джерел.3. Перефразування чужої роботи без належно оформленого посилання на оригінального автора або видавця.Також слід виділити такі види, як фальсифікація (вигадування тих чи інших, наприклад, статистичних показників із подальшим вказуванням на них як власну роботу), реплікація (це процес копіювання даних з одного джерела на багато інших і навпаки, тобто своєрідне «тиражування» інформації без дозволу автора), а також републікація (повторне або багаторазове обнародування в іншому джерелі чужої інформації за справжнім підписом автора й посиланням на джерело), переписування (додавання до чужого матеріалу без дозволу автора додаткової інформацію, із переробкою раніше обнародуваного матеріалу і заміною слів та виразів) та компіляція (укладання з кількох чужих матеріалів свого та редагування без дозволу — смислова, стилістична, граматична правка й скорочення чужого матеріалу).Інформаційний бюлетень ESSKA (European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy) у грудні 2015 року опублікував редакційну статтю щодо плагіату в ортопедичній літературі. З люб’язного дозволу редакції інформаційного бюлетеня ESSKA наводимо цю статтю в оригіналі та її переклад українською мовою.

Natural Language Processing methods for Document Matching

Data,Information or knoweldge,in this rapidly moving and growing world.we can find any kind of information on Internet.And this can be too useful,however for acedemic world too it is useful but along with it plagarism is highly in practice.Which makes orginality of work degrade and fraudly using someones original work and later not acknowleging them is becoming common.And some times teachers or professors could not identify the plagarised information provided.So higher educational systems nowadays use different types of tools to compare.Here we have an idea to match no of different documents like assignments of students to compare with each other to find out, did they copied each other’s work?Also an idea to compare ideal answeer sheet of particular subject examination to similar test sheets of students.Idea is to compare and on similarity basis we can rank them.Both approach is one kind and that is to compare documents.To identify plagarism there are many methods used already.So we could compare and develop them if needed.

In this stage there is a process of determining the needs of what will be made. The method that will be used in this stage is User Persona. The Personas technique developed by human-computer interaction (HCI) collects data about users, obtains an understanding of their criteria and can find out what is needed by the user on the system. This study aims to use the charm approach to determine the needs and analyze the diversity of users who have differences in terms of age, gender and knowledge so that it can be used as a reference in system development. The use of a persona approach to solving problems in the preparation of practical module materials with the ability of students to reduce the case of source code plagiarism at the time of practicum. From this study the data collection by using the persona approach will be analyzed according to user needs, and produces software that could manage practice module. The purpose of this software is to provide access for lecturers, laboratory assistants, and students to be able to distribute practicum modules, do the excercises that are adjusted to the Learning Implemantation Plan before working on practicum questions and receive practical results more efectively, and reduce plagiarism among students.

El papel de la convivencia escolar en la formación inicial del profesorado de educación infantil y primaria

La convivencia en los centros educativos supone un tema de interés en cuanto que condiciona sustancialmente los tipos y calidad de los aprendizajes. Pero la gestión de la convivencia escolar no es una cuestión fácil de abordar y requiere, al menos, una adecuada formación del profesorado. Por ello, el principal objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar qué contenidos, objetivos, competencias y recursos se están trabajando en la formación inicial del profesorado de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria. Para ello se analizaron las guías docentes (2019-2020) de las Facultades de Educación españolas posicionadas en el Shanghai Ranking (2.224 guías analizadas). Las cuestiones para analizar giraron en torno a: (1) la conceptualización y dimensionalidad de la convivencia, (2) la configuración y tipologías de conflictos escolares y (3) estructuras del modelo integrado de gestión de la convivencia escolar. Los principales resultados indicaron una fuerte presencia de algunos elementos configuradores de la convivencia, como la comprensión por las demás personas y la interdependencia positiva, pero dicha presencia fue muy restringida en cuanto a los valores del pluralismo como elementos constituyentes de la convivencia. Si bien es cierto que algunas tipologías de conflictos escolares se encontraron en la formación inicial del profesorado, como los problemas de disciplina, el acoso entre iguales o la violencia, por el contrario, el tema del vandalismo, el acoso sexual o el plagio generalmente fueron inexistentes. En las titulaciones analizadas se encontraron diferentes estrategias, técnicas y herramientas para la gestión de la convivencia, pero no se encontraron incardinadas en un modelo integrador. Por todo ello, se puede concluir que la formación inicial del profesorado debe seguir mejorando en algunas direcciones concretas.
