Theory and methodology of experiential material: geography and spatiality mediated by youth experiences in the school space

As discussões em torno da educação e da geograficidade do espaço escolar contemplam como os educandos experienciam esse espaço normatizado e controlado pelo Estado. Embora atemporais, tais discussões repercutem hodiernamente a fragilidade de tratar os sujeitos que habitam esse espaço de forma homogênea, negligenciando suas subjetividades e identidades. Sendo assim, a Geografia Humanista, através da fenomenologia e hermenêutica, adere-se ao estudo como forma de acessar a experiência socioespacial dos sujeitos, ou seja, como o ser-aí (dasein) e o habitar (dwelling) heideggerianos expressam formas de ver e estar no mundo. Através da noção de Temas, o estudo propõe identificar possibilidades de conectar essas experiências de mundo com as normatizações que controlam o devir e o habitar do espaço escolar, sendo nesse ínterim que são interpretados temas como obrigação, profissionalização, socialização, conhecimento e técnica. A interdisciplinaridade e o vivido dotado de subjetividades apresentam-se como meios alternativos de contrapor o tratamento positivista e generalizador que sustenta os materiais de controle/orientação do espaço escolar

DAS FISSURAS ENTRE SER E DEVER SER: AUTORREFLEXÕES DE UMA PROFESSORA DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA

ABSTRACT: Since the 1980s there has been a certain fascination with the theme of the reflective/researching teacher. Little is said, however, that this discussion is part of a larger one, which criticizes positivism and rationality. Following the tradition of Critical Social Theory, some theoretical and methodological assumptions were discussed in order to then reflect on the teaching practice and the school context in which this author is inserted. Violence and indifference as inherent to the civilizing process, of which education is part, and the confrontation of the contradictions between the teacher’s being and “must be” as an antidote to the reproduction of barbarism, appear as central themes. The use of records and memories of the period of initiation to teaching and insertion in the work environment (years 2019 and 2020) was made, with attention to my doing teaching and a latent “teacher must be” in daily school life, in its interconnections with social and cultural aspects. In the elaboration work (cognitive and affective) of the experience, the little rationality prevailing in the school space was one of the key points of the analysis, revealing itself, among others: the insistence on rhetoric and educational postulates, at the expense of denying reality; the predominance of the principle of competition, especially among peers and with singularities that relate to gender issues; and the difficulty of facing violence in physical education classes. It ends with some notes on teacher self-reflection, especially the urgency that the ethical-political principle overlaps merely instrumental/performative objectives in this process.

Transphobia as a social disease: discourses of vulnerabilities in trans men and transmasculine people.

to analyze the repercussions of transphobia on trans men's and transmasculine people's health. a qualitative study carried out with 38 participants, 35 trans men and three trans men, who attended specialized transgender health services in Bahia, Brazil. In-depth interviews were carried out between June 2019 and February 2020. The Discourse of Collective Subject technique was used and interpretation based on the theoretical concept of transphobia. transphobia has intra and interpersonal repercussions on the life and health of trans men and transmasculine people who attend health services. There were experiences of violence in the private space, fraying of family ties; discrimination in the school space; limitation in professional/work opportunities; barriers to self-care and access to health services; elaboration of trans identity protection strategies; consequences of transphobia on psycho-emotional health. transphobia is a social disease that affects different life and health dimensions. It causes damage to the socialization of trans men and transmasculine people, in addition to health service spaces as well as in family environments, schools, universities and at work, which result in non-adherence to self-care, distancing from health services and psycho-emotional distress.

Perceptions about exposure to pesticides among rural school students: identified controversies.

to identify, according to students' perception, controversies related to the term "pesticide" and its influence on health. field research, with qualitative analysis via discursive textual analysis. Collective interviews were carried out with students of ninth grade of elementary school from four rural schools in the western region of Paraná. when analyzing students' statements, it was identified that pesticides are part of their reality and that of the local community Controversies related to pesticides and health arose, with emphasis on the form of production and the understanding of the real harm generated by exposure and use of pesticides. approaching pesticides in the context of education and health is essential so that there is a strengthening of discussions, in a critical and contextualized way, in school spaces, expanding the look at the topic as a way of enriching understandings and discourses on the subject.

Dlaczego dzieci lubią szkołę? Przyjazna szkoła współczesna – wyniki badań własnych

In the discussion about the modern school, as an institution and a building, there are many social actors, often with different positions. More and more often, though still rarely, the students’ voice is allowed. Their perspective, as many studies show, can be extremely different from that of adults. The aim of my research was to recognize and understand the primary school students’ perspective in terms of their experience of the broadly understood school space and to describe the material and nonmaterial conditions of spaces in which children feel good and like to learn. I conducted my research in 2021 and 2022, shortly after the pandemic and the remote learning. I conducted the research in an interdisciplinary, qualitative approach among 12 students functioning in four different educational systems and environments: home education, private urban schools, public urban schools and public rural schools. The results of my research indicate that children need variety in the school space to feel comfortable and learn effectively. Respondents’ statements revealed several key factors important in places of learning: sense of security, free learning, completeness of the place, possibility to ask questions, consideration of home conditions and setting specific boundaries for the place of formal learning.

Peer Mediation in the Prevention of Cyberbullying

The aim of the article is to draw attention to the serious problem of aggressive behavior of young people in the Internet space. It has become another place (outside the backyard, school or other environments in the real world) where young people bully, persecute, intimidate, challenge or threaten their peers. This type of violence, called cyberbullying\cyberaggression, requires immediate intervention from us adults due to its serious consequences. This article proposes preventive measures aimed at developing students’ social competences. Peer mediation, the main purpose of which is to equip young people with the ability to resolve disputes without aggression and violence, is a proposition of preventive actions in the school space. On the other hand, the tasks of school mediation directly or indirectly refer to the problem of aggression and violence.

Ciência e imaginação nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

ABSTRACT Our objective is to investigate how relationships between science and imagination are discursively constructed within a group of children in the first three years of elementary school. Based on Ethnography in Education, articulated with Science Education, we analyze events that demonstrate how references to the non-school context contribute to the teaching of science in a way articulated with imagination/creation activity. The results demonstrate the occurrence of: a science perspective primarily focused on results/products of science and another focused on procedures/processes of knowledge construction/practices; a form of creation activity related to the interaction with materials to investigate phenomena and another mainly related to the creation of imaginary narratives; and greater participation and enhancement of creation activity when talking about the space of the house in the school space.

PROJETOS PEDAGÓGICOS DE CURSO EM ANÁLISE: GÊNERO E SEXUALIDADE NA FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE

ABSTRACT: The school space is uncomfortable for dissident sexual and gender performances and identities. It is common to find teachers who reproduce LGBTI+phobic violence and those who recognize their inability to deal with this issue, demonstrating an intention to deconstruct paradigms by seeking to transform their pedagogical practices. In this sense, this article aims to identify whether and how gender and sexuality are present in ten 'course pedagogical projects' (CPP) of teacher training undergraduate degrees in two public universities in Manaus, Brazil. We carried out documental research, using constructive-interpretative data analysis from a historical-cultural perspective. The results point out the little presence of the theme in the courses' design and subjects' syllabi. Discussions on gender and sexuality occur in specific activities but not transversally throughout the undergraduate course. When discussions explicitly take place, they are grounded on a biological discourse, and the theme is not concretely established in the CPPs. This work contributes to reflecting on the importance of pre-service teachers discussing gender and sexuality. It indicates the need for a pre-and in-service education aimed to deconstruct cis heteronormativity as an alternative to overcome the prejudice that interferes with the know-how in/of school as a welcoming space, open for careful listening, inclusion, and equity, which are essential to a humanizing and emancipatory education.

Existing school energy consumption diagnosis and low carbon transformation strategy of Tianjin Yaohua High school

As an important part of public buildings, the school’s energy consumption and carbon emissions have received widespread attention. Relying on the existing building energy conservation situation and the energy consumption of Tianjin Yaohua High school, this paper puts forward the existing problems and energy saving space of high school. Based on the goal of low-carbon transformation, the roof and other utilizable conditions were analyzed, the transformation scheme of low-carbon energy system was brought forward, which realizes clean heating, electric energy replacement and domestic hot water supply with PVT coupling with heat pump. According to calculation, it can realize 70% replacement of school electricity, 100% clean heating and 100% consumption of renewable energy. Based on economic analysis, it has strong feasibility, which provides a reference for the subsequent low-carbon transformation of existing high school.

Political geography: a new look at the academic discipline

Based on the content analysis and comparative characteristics of the educational literature most in demand in the educational geographic space of the higher school in the discipline “Political Geography”, a review of a new educational complex based on an interdisciplinary approach (taking into account the interests of students studying in different areas of training: pedagogical education — geography), geography, political science, regional studies, international relations). The importance of discipline from the ideological point of view is emphasized. Distinctive features of the educational publication (complexity, consistency, accessibility of the presentation of the material, cartographic provision, scientific continuity) are singled out and argued. An analysis of the structure of the textbook and a brief description of its content are given, highlighting chapters containing traditional political and geographical knowledge used in the geographical educational process and chapters containing a new or expanded (for geographers) information base. The conclusion is made about the expediency of using the materials of the educational complex in teaching such disciplines (within the framework of geographical areas of training) as “Political map of the world” and “Modern political geography”, as well as when studying the relevant sections in the courses “General economic and social geography of the world”, “Economic and social geography of foreign countries”. A high level of information saturation from the political, historical and geographical points of view was noted.

Образовательное пространство школы: вызовы ХХI века

The educational space of school is an important component of the educational process, a means of the organization of training, education, and development of students. The article is devoted to the actualization of the problem of constructing educational spaces, performing buffer functions between complex processes, occurring in society, on the one hand, and in the motivational and demand sphere of the modern generation of students, on the other hand. The article presentsthe results of psychological and pedagogical research into the attitudes of high school students to the changes taking place in the world. The results of the research are analyzed in terms of key trends in the socialization of young people in the modern world: the processes of child radicalization, resocialization,and identification. It is concluded that it is necessary to design regenerative, anticipatory, and synchronous educational spaces, relevant to the challenges of the XXI century to solve the acute problems of childrenradicalization,resocialization, and identification of young people. Classical ideas about the role of educational spaces in preparing the young generation for life should be revised and supplemented.

Providing a training model for producing electronic content to prepare teachers to teach in the virtual space of schools

Background and Aim: Virtual education is one of the types of education that has shown its role in recent years, especially during the Corona period. Therefore, the aim of the current research was to provide a model of electronic content production training for preparing teachers to teach in the virtual environment of elementary schools in Bushehr province. Methods: The current research method was mixed (qualitative-quantitative) and practical in terms of execution method. The qualitative research community included university experts of Bushehr in the academic year of 2020-2021-, of which 40 people were selected based on the rule of theoretical saturation and with the purposeful sampling method. The statistical population of the quantitative part included 552 university professors in Bushehr city in the academic year of 2020-2021, and the sample size was determined based on Cochran's formula of 225 and selected by random sampling. The tools of the qualitative part of the interview and the quantitative part of the questionnaire were made by the researcher. The validity of the qualitative part of the tool was done with face validity, and the reliability was 0.82 with the agreement coefficient between the coders. Also, in the quantitative part of the research, formal validity and reliability were obtained with Cronbach's alpha of 0.85. Qualitative part analysis was done by coding method in MAXQDA3 software and quantitative part was done by partial least squares method in Pls smart3 software. Results: In the qualitative section, 5 components (content, evaluation, technical infrastructure, planning and learning environment) and 41 indicators were identified for the e-learning model. Based on the results of the quantitative part, the factor load, which is the correlation coefficient between the implicit variable (e-learning) and the obvious variables in a model, is related to planning (0.74), content compilation (0.63), evaluation (0.58), technical infrastructure (0.51) and learning environment (0.5), respectively. Also, according to the results of structural equation modeling, the planning component with a coefficient of 0.42, content compilation with a coefficient of 0.21, evaluation with a coefficient of 0.18, technical infrastructure and learning environment with a coefficient of 0.14 respectively had the greatest effect on e-learning. E-learning is the necessity of the educational system in the future. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the first step is to ask professors and experts to identify and solve the challenges of e-learning and plan for the implementation of this system in the education system according to the components of content, evaluation, technical infrastructure, planning and learning environment.

배움과 기록의 전범화 고찰 - 茅坤의 『唐宋八大家文鈔』 수록 ‘學記’를 중심으로

The arranger(editor) of the anthology attempts to scripture the work through the selection of the work and criticism. In other words, from the perspective of Canonization, Mao Kun arranged the works of the Tang Song period reflect his values which about classical literature and social background at the time. In particular, the writers of Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty have many similar parts. Both of them developed philosophical reasons and valued the function of literature. In addition, both periods politically advocated ''politics through literature'' and implemented the Keju(科擧) system to give and promote literature and education considerably. Politics and education are closely related to canonization. As is well known, in literary history, the "唐宋古文運動" was both a literary and social movement. After Mao Kun, each of the eight literal advisors during the Tangsong period was canonized with the concept of "TangSongBadajia(唐宋八大家)" which again linked the negative effects and education of the Keju(科擧) system which for selecting talented person during the Ming dynasty. In this study, the “records of school" was viewed as learning, and examined the perception of learning held by ancient Chinese writers. In any case, learning is not simply an action from the learner''s point of view, but reflects a lot of content and perception. For example, the perception of the space of school, a place where learning takes place, and the educational philosophical meaning and perception of the behavior and ideal pursuit in this space. In the case of the "records of school" it can be seen as a record of a building called a school or a record of learning. The architecture reflects the aesthetics of the builder, values and spatial consciousness, and the social background at the time. In short, it can be said that the "records of school" included in the Mao Kun''s "TangSong Badajia WenChao(唐宋八大家文鈔)" was not only for educational purposes for the Keju(科擧) system, but also for the attempt of Canonization in the TangSong Badajia’s works and the relationship between the Song and the Ming dynasty.

User-Participatory Design of Green Smart Future Schools Using a Design Thinking Process and Big Data Analysis Technique

Purpose: The Ministry of Education announced ‘Green Smart Future School’ in 2021, which is a representative project of the Korean New Deal. It was selected as a priority from the ‘School Space Innovation Project’ by the Ministry of Education in 2019. It is based on continuing the basic principle of a ‘Student-Centered User-Participatory Design’. However, the lack of a design process centered on the facilitators, who are the key participants in the design, as well as the distinct clustering of design toolkits has led to repeated design workshops. In addition, it is impossible to determine the relevance in the opinions and results presented by the many participants, thus school space user (Students, Parents, Teachers) rely solely on the facilitators. Method: For this study, the ‘Design Toolkit’ and ‘Service Design Thinking’ decision-making tools were clustered. Further, ‘Text Mining’ and ‘Word Cloud’ were used for big data analysis using the Python software. Finally, this design process and data analysis methodology were performed after selecting actual participating design schools. Result: Significant results were obtained when collectively considering the agreement between the proposed construction images, derived opinions, and satisfaction.

A Study on Foreign Students’ Perception of Metaverse-Based Korean Language Course as General Education

As basic research for establishing the metaverse-based Korean language course as general education, this study aimed to seek concrete direction for the development of curriculum by conducting a survey on learners’ perception of the teaching/learning of Korean language using the metaverse, and then to apply the results to actual classes on a trial basis. As of late, the metaverse is being actively applied to language education as a new educational medium that could improve the immersion and understanding of learning among students through interaction with a high level of presence in the virtual world. Thus, this thesis aimed to understand the familiarity, preference, and expected effect of the metaverse targeting Korean language learners. From the results of conducting a perception survey targeting a total of 534 foreign students of A university located in Seoul, we learned that the students showed a low degree of experience with and understanding of the metaverse, but that they professed a high level of interest in the establishment of a Korean language course using this new educational medium. In particular, they expressed the highest expectation for the establishment of a course connected with speaking among their communication skills. Thus, this study provided a pilot class using the metaverse to the divided speaking class of A university, and then conducted a survey on learners’ responses. Concerning the operation of the class, the learners preferred offline or an on/offline combined method instead of fully using the metaverse online. Also, they wanted to learn in a kind of metaverse that realistically reflected a familiar school space or some kind of Korean symbolic space.

Wobec „Pana Tadeusza”. Z uczniowskiej recepcji

The subject of reflection in the article is the reception of Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz. In order to investigate it, the author conducted an anonymous questionnaire among students of primary and secondary schools in Gdańsk, Wejherowo and Wiślinka. The collected material shows that the respondents do not treat the world of Pan Tadeusz without reflection, but reinterpret the values shown in it and depart from the typical interpretations of understanding the behavior of literary heroes. The analysis of the collected results leads to the conclusion that the way to revive the classical literature in the school space may be a departure from the classroom schematicism in favor of non-stereotypical creative work conditioned by students’ opinions, judgments and reflections.

Back to (the Future) School. Reshaping the Relationship Between Mobility and Schools

The paper proposes the first results of the La mia scuola va in classe A project, a participatory research and planning process promoted by the City of Venice, with the collaboration of the Cooperativa Sestante di Venezia and the Iuav University of Venice. Co-funded by MIT’s “National Experimental Program of Sustainable Home-School and Home-Work Mobility.” The project tries to rethink the relationship between school and city, between school spaces and urban fabric, through the development of educational and participatory processes aimed at the school system. The participatory pathway involves the school community in developing actions and interventions that promote active mobility on home-school routes and a rethinking of the street, threshold and proximity spaces of four inland Venetian elementary schools. Through a reconstruction of the process, we reflect on how to interweave relationships and mutual learning between school and city, with the shared elaboration of an imaginary oriented toward active mobility, awareness of the importance of motor autonomy and the psycho-physical well-being of the local community. The proposed design solutions will have the role of holding together the different instances in a fertile path leading to the improvement of the conditions of the spaces of mobility and proximity, with the idea of opening the city to the school and the school to the city, to improve the relationship between people and to return spaces of possibility to children.

La forme comme vecteur de régénération. Une approche méthodologique pour repenser l’infrastructure scolaire italienne

Italian school infrastructure is a multi-layered and diversified spatial asset which requires systemic rethinking in order to respond to evolving educational, energy and health needs. This has become evident not only as a consequence of the Covid-19 emergency, but also due to demographic and educational changes that have taken place over the years. The objective of the present work is to outline a methodological approach aimed at promoting agency within local communities and defining regeneration priorities and strategies through the co-construction of shared spatial knowledge. In a context in which tools and funds for a substantial renovation of the Italian public infrastructure are and will be available, the article explores the theoretical framework that enabled the implementation of a specific design tool — a web application — as a replicable operative model for school regeneration and describes how its prototype was built. More precisely, the web app is aimed at supporting and empowering the actors entrusted with governing the transformation of schools by identifying spatial resources and potentials. To this end, typological classification based on the current spatial characteristics of the buildings is assumed as a way to highlight the transformation potential of schools and to outline intervention priorities at a regional level. Drawing on the concept of spatial agency, the physical space of schools is therefore conceived as a shared documentary basis for the development of multi-scalar governance systems.

Islamic Boarding School Linguistic Landscape in The Development of Arabic Language Skills and Islamic Knowledge

Linguistic landscape is one area of ​​sociolinguistics that examines specifically the phenomenon of language use in public spaces, be it monolingual, bilingual or multilingual. Islamic boarding schools as geographically exclusive Islamic educational institutions have a linguistic landscape phenomenon that is characterized and based on Arabic. This is in line with the Islamic orientation built in pesantren education. This study aims to explore the use of Arabic in the public space of Islamic boarding schools and its contribution to the development of Arabic language skills and Islamic knowledge of students. This research is a qualitative research with descriptive analysis. In this study, data collection used the observing method and the documentation method. The listening method is used to collect data in the form of writing while the documentation method is used to collect data in the form of pictures taken by cell phone. All data is processed and given a code and then selected based on who produced the text. The results of this study are: (1) The linguistic landscape of Arabic in the pesantren environment is categorized into 3 categories: verses of the Qur'an, Matan Hadith Nabawi, and Maqolah of Ulama. (2) The linguistic landscape of Arabic is part of the pesantren learning process indirectly, especially in supporting classroom learning so that it is internalized in life. (3) The linguistic landscape of Arabic has significance in developing the Arabic language skills and Islamic knowledge of the students in the pesantren environment.
