Analysis and interpretation of an historical photograph among future teachers of social science subjects: Research using the eye-tracking method

This article presents the findings of mixed-design research carried out in 2021 on a sample of students who were training to become teachers of social sciences subjects. The aim of the research was to determine the extent to which a carefully considered, didactically structured analysis of an iconographic historical source (an historical photograph depicting the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact troops on 21 August 1968) influences the quality of the source’s perception, analysis and interpretation. A computer test with a set of questions for the respondents (test subjects) was created as a research tool. The study used three methods of data collection and processing: audio recording analysis using open axial coding and categorization; eye-tracking to investigate the perception strategies of the test subjects; and structured interviews carried out with the test subjects following the test, in order to gain information about the course of the test and to indicate potential options for modifying the research tool. The results of the study showed that a didactically structured analysis of the iconographic source had a substantial positive effect on the students’ perception strategies and the quality of their interpretation. If the test subjects are not guided towards a thorough observation of the image, identifying its individual elements and determining their meanings, they mostly overlook these important elements entirely, and their interpretation as a whole is very superficial. Another aspect of the source that is usually overlooked is the level of empathy, i.e. understanding of the individual experiences of the depicted people, bringing multiperspectivity in the perception of the depicted situation. These research findings should be taken into consideration during pre-graduate training for future teachers of social sciences subjects; graduates of teacher training degrees should possess these specific competencies and be able to implement didactically structured analyses and interpretations of historical sources in their teaching at primary and secondary schools.

The Effect of Study Habits on the Learning Outcomes of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) at Elementary School Students

Study habits are a way or technique to establish students when receiving learning, reading books, and doing assignments to complete teaching and learning activities.

This work aims to contribute to broader efforts in developing Nunavut-specific approaches to achieving Inuit self-determination in research.

Teacher Perceptions on the Possibility of Integrating History and Citizenship in the Lesotho Curriculum: A Case of Three Secondary Schools

One of the key contemporary needs in education is to promote nationalism and national cohesion. Challenges confronting most developing countries include political instability, violence, voter apathy, and youth disintegration. Many regard the teaching of citizenship as a possible panacea to remedy these problems. Scholars have applauded the role of citizenship education in inculcating crucial values such as active citizenship, tolerance, and social cohesion. The Lesotho curriculum uses social science subjects, especially history, to address these challenges. Pursuant to repeated calls for the integration of history with citizenship in Lesotho schools in order to enhance history's thrust in achieving the task, this qualitative study adopted the case study design to purposively sample six history teachers, two from each of three secondary schools in the Maseru district. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis of the Education Sector Plan 2005-2015 and Education Sector Strategic Plan 2016-2026, Curriculum and Assessment Policy (CAP) 2009, Lesotho General Certificate of Secondary Education (LGCSE), and the Grade 8 Social Science Syllabus were relied upon for the collection of data. Our findings from this study show that teachers believe that the integration of history and citizenship can instil values of active citizenship, patriotism, political stability, and economic development to mention but a few. We therefore concluded that there are possibilities of integrating history with citizenship instead of leaving them as subjects independent from each other. We recommend that the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) should consider the integration ofhistory and citizenship into the curriculum.

Measuring Students’ and Teachers’ Attitude towards Research at University Level

The research culture is a basic element for higher institutions at the global level, especially in social sciences subjects’ research as a compulsory subject taught in the universities of Pakistan. Through this study, it has been tried to measure the students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards research by using a semantic differential scale. The survey research design was used to collect data and to find the attitudes of the students and teachers. Two universities were selected as the population of the research. One university was selected from the public sector, and another from the private sector. From the overall population, two fifty (250) students (male & female) and one fifty (150) teachers (male & female) were selected as the sample of the research. The findings revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the attitudes of teachers and students toward research.. Furthermore, the results of the study recommended that teachers are the reflection of their students, and positive and productive attitudes of teachers foster students towards research. The content writing and research attitude are mutually interlinked. In this way, efforts should be needed to create reading and investigating behaviours among university students to create a research environment.

Implementasi Pembelajaran Literasi Finansial di Sekolah Dasar

Financial literacy is considered a type of literacy that is expected to improve students' thinking skills in managing finances. However, financial literacy learning has not been fully integrated into intracurricular learning activities and is still implicitly. Therefore the aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive picture of the implementation of financial literacy learning in elementary schools. This research used a case study method involving 3 teachers and 90 students from 3 elementary schools, including SDN Cipayung 04 Pagi Jakarta City, SDN Perwira 01 Bekasi City, and SDN Pisangan 02 Banten City. The research results show that the implementation of financial literacy learning is implicit, although the results of the independent curriculum analysis show the existence of financial literacy learning in natural and social sciences subjects. In practice, the learning process has not been carried out explicitly and systematically in the context of intracurricular learning, whereas in extracurricular learning, financial literacy learning is implemented through the Cha-Ching program. The implementation of this program is still partial and has not been implemented in various elementary schools. Based on the results of the perception survey from class teachers, it can be seen that students are not yet able to understand the differences between wants and needs; students are also not able to classify spending priorities; and students are deemed unable to identify basic terminology related to money. Therefore, it is hoped that the results of this research will encourage teachers to develop more innovative financial literacy.
