Game-based learning: Strengthening Islamic Religious Education learning process

A pleasant situation in the learning process is one of the things that must be considered in the implementation of the learning process, including in Islamic Religious Education subjects. The implementation of Islamic Religious Education learning at SDN 2 Cantigi Kulon has been running smoothly but is still experiencing deficiencies in terms of student involvement. Therefore, efforts need to be made by teachers to increase student involvement. One effort that can be made is to use the game-based learning method, or game-based learning carried out through the smart snakes and ladders game, so that students are more enthusiastic and active in participating in the learning process. This article aims to describe the form of reinforcement carried out in Islamic Religious Education subjects wrapped in educational games using Islamic smart snakes and ladders games. This game involves cognitive and psychomotor skills that go hand in hand with concentration and questions about Islamic Religious Education learning materials. Students are asked to participate in the game of snakes and ladders and answer questions given by the teacher based on the flow of the game. Efforts to strengthen the subject of Islamic Religious Education with the game-based learning method using Islamic smart snakes and ladders are proven to be able to create a happy atmosphere for students, so that they are enthusiastic about participating in the learning process actively and responsively.

The emotional labor of physical education teachers in ‘difficult contexts’: an inductive analysis of the most significant moments of their career

ABSTRACT Introduction Originally, the concept of emotional labor comes from the sociological work of Hochschild (1983. The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling. Berkeley: The University of California Press). In recent decades, it has also been defined in approaches of a more psychological nature within a variety of professional contexts. However, the emotional labor of teachers has been the subject of only a limited number of studies, especially in Physical Education (PE). It is essential to better understand the forms and inducers of teachers' emotional labor in this context. PE in ‘difficult' teaching contexts particularly can test teachers' emotions. This article aims to analyze the forms and inducers of PE teachers' emotional labor in ‘difficult’ contexts, during the most significant moments of their career, according to an inductive situated psychological approach. Method 61 PE teachers working in ‘difficult’ French classrooms agreed to participate in this research. Using the critical incident method, we asked these teachers to tell us about the most significant moments of their career in this context. The 203 critical incidents collected were inductively analyzed, according to a ‘grounded theory’ approach, in five stages. Processing data in this way allowed us to identify the forms and inducers of the teachers’ emotional labor in each critical incident collected. Results Four forms of emotional labor were identified through the analysis. Two of them refer to an active position (n = 116; 57.1%): ‘To master the negative emotions generated by an unpleasant situation’ and ‘To master the positive emotions generated by a pleasant situation’. The remaining two categories relate to a passive position (n = 87; 42.9%): ‘To feel and express the positive emotions generated by a pleasant situation’ and ‘To feel and express the positive emotions emerging from an unpleasant situation’. The inducers of the teachers’ emotional labor were mostly negative (n = 106; 44.9%) and can be divided into six categories (including that of ‘Student violence against the teacher’). Conversely, three categories of positive inducers were also identified (n = 130; 55.1%), especially that of the ‘Quality of human relations within the school’. The relationship between the forms and inducers of the teachers’ emotional labor revealed that the active forms emerged from negative inducers and that the passive forms were related to positive inducers. Discussion and conclusions The emotional labor of PE teachers in ‘difficult’ contexts mainly consists in mastering negative emotions in situations that are sometimes very risky. These situations are mostly linked to student violence, social difficulties, and disruption. However, our results also highlight the fact that PE teaching in ‘difficult’ contexts should not be viewed solely as negative. Teachers also experience significant positive emotions, which refer to the passive forms of emotional labor. These positive emotions are moreover intense since the teachers have previously experienced difficulties in this context. They are mainly linked to the quality of human relations within these schools.

Exploring Emotional and Cognitive Priming Effects in Mediated Sports Using Psychophysiological Measures: How Sport Program-Induced Emotions and Ad Schema Congruity Influence Effectiveness of Advertising

The purpose of current study was to examine (1) the emotion transfer effect from sport programs and (2) program-ad congruity effects on the effectiveness of ads. A 2 (program-induced valence: pleasant, unpleasant) × 2 (program-induced arousal: arousing, calm) × 2 (advertising theme: sport, non-sport) within-subjects design, along with real-time psychophysiological measures, was employed to test the hypotheses. As predicted, an ad placed after a pleasant situation (favored team’s victory) was more effective than an ad placed after an unpleasant situation (favored team’s defeat). Also, an ad played after an arousing situation (close game) was more effective than an ad played after a non-arousing situation (lopsided game). Further, advertising effectiveness was greater for sport-themed ads (congruent) than non-sport-themed (non-congruent) ads. The findings suggest that the same ad can result in different persuasive impacts depending upon the emotional and cognitive context of the preceding sports program. The study offers new insights to existing sport marketing communication literature by examining emotional and cognitive priming effects in the context of sport media programing.

Cat vocalization in aversive and pleasant situations

Vocalization may transmit information from the emitting animal, including information about his or her emotional state. This study aimed to compare the vocal and the behavioral responses of domestic cats during an aversive and a pleasant situation. A total of 74 cats (29 males and 45 females) in the city of Curitiba, Southern Brazil, participated in the study; 68 (26 males and 42 females) were divided into 2 treatments: an aversive situation (AS), which was a car transport event where the cat was in a crate, or a pleasant situation (PS), where the cat was offered a snack. The other animals (3 males and 3 females) participated in both situations. Behavioral signals and individual vocalizations were registered through video recordings and further evaluated in each scenario. Cats in the PS had a higher fundamental frequency of vocalizations (10.1%), a lower range of pitches (tessitura) (33.9%) and twice the rate of head movement rates as compared to AS. For call duration there was significant interaction between treatment and sex. Additionally, there were differences in the vocal parameters and the behavioral signals due to sex, age, and coat color. Females and kittens have higher fundamental frequencies may be due to anatomical characteristics. Solid-colored coated cats presented higher fundamental frequency than other coat colors. Overall, vocal parameters and behavioral signals seem useful indicators for studying the emotions of cats in different situations. Further studies are warranted to understand the subtleties of cat vocalization across sex, age, and coat color.

Impact of using podcasts on students learning motivation

A podcast is a media file or digital audio to be specific, which can be published regularly through the internet in a particular format, such as mp3 formats.

Estudo da previsão da vida útil de uma estrutura em concreto armado: iniciação da corrosão por carbonatação

A durabilidade das estruturas de concreto está diretamente atrelada ao meio no qual os materiais estão expostos. O entendimento dos mecanismos degradantes atuantes nas estruturas é importante, visto que estudos podem ser desenvolvidos para o melhoramento dos materiais, possibilitando que estes sejam mais duráveis sob diferentes condições ambientais. O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso, com o objetivo de analisar a vida útil de uma edificação, localizada em Curitiba-PR, estando a mesma sujeita a continua emissão de CO2, advinda do meio urbano. Considerando o mecanismo de carbonatação como um dos principais responsáveis ao desencadeamento da corrosão de armaduras de edificações, localizadas nos grandes centros urbanos, a pesquisa aplicou dois modelos de previsão de vida útil, Tuutti (1982) e Possan (2010), para determinar a vida útil da estrutura, levando em consideração somente esse fenômeno. Como resultados o trabalho corroborou a hipótese de que os pilares internos estão mais sujeitos ao mecanismo de carbonatação, isto por estes não estarem em contato direto com a água da chuva. Nos casos em que se notou maior agressividade (pilares internos) a vida útil da edificação já está comprometida, com um processo de corrosão instalado. Nos pilares externos, situação mais amena, a vida útil verificada é maior, ficando próximo e até ultrapassando os 50 anos sugeridos pela norma brasileira, NBR 15575 (2013).

Only When It Feels Good: Specific Cat Vocalizations Other Than Meowing.

Simple SummaryAmong carnivore animals, domestic cats are those with the most extensive vocal repertoire. This is due to their social organization, nocturnal activity and long period of contact between the mother and the offspring. In order to identify vocalizations other than meowing in two different situations, a study was performed with 74 cats divided into two groups, one associated with a pleasant situation and another with an aversive situation. Only the group exposed to the positive stimulus of being offered a favorite snack produced specific vocalizations other than meowing: recognition or trill, squeak, purring and chatter. During the aversive situation of car transport, no vocalization other than meowing was observed. The present study indicates the relevance of applying the study of vocalizations to determine the state of emotional valence in cats.Our objective was to identify and characterize the types of vocalization other than meowing (VOM) in two contexts, a pleasant and an aversive situation, and to study the effect of the sex of the animal. A total of 74 cats (32 tom cats and 42 queens) living in the city of Curitiba, Brazil, participated in the study; in total, 68 (29 tom cats and 39 queens) were divided into two groups according to the stimulus they were exposed to: either a pleasant situation (PS), when they were offered a snack, or an aversive situation (AS), with the simulation of a car transport event. The other six animals (three tom cats and three queens) participated in both situations. Only the PS group presented VOM; of the 40 PS animals, 14 presented VOM, mostly acknowledgment or trill and squeak. No correlation was observed between vocalization and cat sex (p = 0.08; Pearson’s Chi-Square). Results show that VOM is exclusively associated with positive situations, suggesting that these vocalizations may be relevant for understanding the valence of cat emotional state. Further studies are warranted to advance knowledge on other VOMs and on the generalization of our findings to other situations.
