A look at the treatment of the contents of Agroecology as a component of agricultural education in Biology 1

<p>Currently, the study of Agroecology as a component of agricultural education in the subject of Biology 1 and the treatment of its contents at the basic secondary educational level is of great importance. Agricultural education is of vital importance to achieve sustainable development, adopting environmental, economic and social policies based on agroecological principles related to food production and local development from the Cuban educational system. In this sense, it is necessary for teachers to promote and encourage students towards the use of agroecological practices to contribute to the education of current and future generations in love and respect for rurality and for the school to become an extensionist of the agrarian culture. The objective of this article is: to systematize the theoretical foundations of Agroecology as a component of agricultural education and the treatment of its contents, promoting agroecological practices on the basis of food sovereignty and security. To achieve this objective, theoretical (analytical-synthetic; inductive-deductive) and empirical (observation; documentary analysis and interview) methods were used. The importance of this work lies in seventh grade students being able to develop agroecological practices in school, family and community with a view to finding possible solutions to the problems associated with production processes to support family food security.<strong></strong></p>

Wordwall.net: Developing the 7th Grade Students’ Reading Comprehension

Reading comprehension is a topic vastly studied in the field of language learning. With the rapid development of digital technology, more focus on digital tools regarding reading comprehension is deemed necessary to find the best tool to aid its improvement. This study aimed to discover how the wordwall.net website affected seventh-grade students' reading comprehension in a descriptive text learning topic at SMP Al Amanah South Tangerang.

Developing a GeoGebra-Based Teaching Module on Quadrilateral Area and Perimeter to Enhance Seventh-Grade Students' Critical Thinking Skills

Objective: Seventh-grade students often need help to grasp the concepts of area and perimeter, particularly when applied to real-world problems requiring critical thinking. This difficulty highlights a need for engaging and effective teaching resources beyond traditional methods. Method: This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model to design, develop, and evaluate a GeoGebra-based teaching module explicitly targeting the area and perimeter of quadrilaterals. The module, designed to foster critical thinking, underwent rigorous validation by media and material experts before being tested for practicality and effectiveness with seventh-grade students. Result: The GeoGebra-based teaching module was valid and practical, receiving high scores from expert evaluations and user feedback. More importantly, the module's implementation positively impacted students' critical thinking skills related to area and perimeter, as evidenced by significant improvement between their pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments. Novelty: This study provides valuable evidence for the efficacy of GeoGebra-based teaching modules in significantly improving critical thinking skills within a specific mathematical context.
