Draw Yourself Doing Mathematics: Creating a Prompt and Rubric to Probe Student Mental Images of Mathematics

ABSTRACT The Draw Yourself Doing Mathematics prompt was developed to study university students’ mental model of their self-image of doing mathematics derived from work connected to student attitudes toward mathematics. Undergraduate students are given 10 minutes to draw, on physical paper, a picture in response to the prompt. A scoring rubric has been developed to analyze the drawings and comprises an overall impression scale (ranging from extremely negative to extremely positive) and three categorical scales (location, activity, and affect). While the prompt was developed with K-16 students in mind, the validity of scores produced by the prompt has only been studied with undergraduate students. Rubric use has proven reliable with faculty and undergraduate researchers; scoring the drawings produced by the prompt allows for several hundred drawings to be produced in a few hours. Scores produced by the rubric help paint a picture of the mental images of doing mathematics over time, after pedagogical treatments, at the beginning and/or end of a course, and as a snapshot in time during the course. The drawings themselves help open conversations between instructors and students about, especially, the emotional aspects of doing mathematics.

Блогер глазами московского студента: образ профессии

Recently, Russia has seen not only a rapid increase in the popularity of blogging, but also clear trends towards its professionalization. The interest in blogging among young people is especially pronounced. In this regard, there is a need to study the perception of blogging as a profession by young people, to form an image of this profession in their minds, to understand its essence and features. In addition, it is important to identify the factors influencing the formation of the image of the blogger's profession in the minds of young people. The article presents the results of a study of the image of the blogger profession in the representations of the student youth of the city of Moscow. Based on the analysis of theoretical approaches to the study of the profession image, the structure of the blogger's profession image was developed, which includes cognitive, emotional, personal and behavioral components. The results of the student survey revealed that the cognitive component of the image of the blogger's profession was not formed clearly enough for the majority of respondents. At the same time, the emotional and personal components are characterized by positive features. The analysis of the behavioral component showed that the majority of respondents have no intention of becoming professional bloggers. Among the factors influencing the formation of the image of the blogger's profession, the most significant were the level of education and the degree of involvement in the blogosphere. A student's level of education influences their perception of blogging as a profession. The higher the student's level of education, the less they perceive blogging as a profession and more as a way of self-expression, communication or entertainment. The degree of involvement in the blogosphere influences the correctness of the image of the blogger's profession in the student's mind. The more a young person is interested in the blogosphere, the more their idea of the blogging profession matches reality. The results of the study indicate that, despite the popularity of blogging among students, their ideas about the profession of a blogger often do not correspond to reality.

Neurodiversity in the Minds of Students: From Perception to Campus Programming.

Neurodiversity is a social justice movement at the nexus of neuroscience, academia, and public policy. A contemporary view of neurodiversity is one that embraces neurological differences, encompassing all "neurotypes," including more specific identifiers like autistic or dyslexic. The goal of this study was to investigate student awareness and perception of neurodiversity since they are the next generation of public policy makers. Students enrolled in Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience (N=146) were exposed to different information sources (popular, academic, TED talk, or choose/find their own) on the topic of neurodiversity. They then wrote a paper where they summarized: a) the information source used, b) their ideas to better support a neurodiverse society, and c) their opinions on aspects of neurodiversity. Several important findings emerged. First, 64% of the sample had never heard of the term neurodiversity; this class was their first exposure to it. Second, students conducting their own searches on neurodiversity had the highest level of optimism (p < 0.05) that society was ready to accept neurodiversity. Students identified even higher rates of receptivity (85%) amongst their friends. Third, student ideas to advance neurodiversity were organized into more salient categories for campuses to consider. Our findings challenge neuroscience programs to consider their role in providing "first exposure" opportunities to students in the diversity, equity, and inclusion realm, especially in areas directly related to our field. We also discuss the growing relevance of neurodiversity in research and academia and offer programming possibilities to enhance neurodiversity awareness and support on college campuses.

Green Discourses in Textbooks: A Critical Eco-Linguistic Analysis of Children’s Literature at Primary Level in Pakistan

When it comes to communicating the underlying ideology to the intended audience, textbooks are regarded as an important means of communication. The ideologies that are transmitted through these books are made to be long-lasting through the utilization of a variety of linguistic and semiotic techniques. It is possible for ideologies that are spread through such covert means to leave an indelible mark on the minds of young students for a considerable amount of time. The current research will make use of primary English and Urdu textbooks published by the Punjab Textbook Board (PTB) to conduct an in-depth analysis of green discourses that have been selected for analysis. In the years 2022 and 2023, these books were released to the public. In order to conduct the analysis, linguistic and visual contents that are associated with environmentally friendly discourses will be chosen. When conducting the analysis of the data, the study will make use of a modified research model. For the purpose of conducting an analysis of the chosen data, the Eco-linguistic Discourse Analysis model developed by Stibbe (2015) and the Semiological Discourse Analysis (SDA) model developed by Barthes (1968) will be utilized. An attempt has been made by curriculum designers to raise awareness among young learners about eco-discourses by including environmentally friendly discourses in selected textbooks of PTB at the primary level. This will be revealed by the analysis of the data, which will reveal that this attempt has been made. Furthermore, it will emphasize that primary textbooks are the most effective medium for ideological investment and for molding the mindset of the target audience, which consists of young students who are considered to be the future of a nation, regarding the concept of going green through the incorporation of linguistic and semiotic discourses that are friendly to the environment.

Overall, this AR application for G code programming was created with vocational college students in mind and is suited for use as a supplementary reference that can be used in theoretical or practical lessons.

The Concept of Indonesian Character Education: Emile Durkheim's Perspective

The aim of preparing this work is to analyze in detail the concept of Indonesian character education from Emile Durkheim's perspective. In researching the concept of character education from Emile Durkheim's perspective, the initial step is to identify relevant data sources, including Durkheim's work and academic analysis of his views. Then, the researcher conducted a critical study of the selected literature, evaluating the main themes and key concepts related to character education from Durkheim's perspective. Next, through qualitative analysis, they compared Durkheim's views with contemporary understandings of character education to conclude the relevance and applicability of Durkheim's concepts in today's educational context. Durkheim's contribution to sociology was to introduce the concepts of social facts and solidarity, highlighting the importance of understanding the social forces that shape human behavior and the relationship between individuals and society in modern social dynamics. With his empirical approach, Durkheim built a fundamental foundation for the study of social interaction and community formation. Character education in Indonesia, supported by government policies and related ministries, emphasizes cultural values and virtues in developing students' hearts, minds, and bodies, as well as reason and creativity, with an emphasis on honesty, intelligence, resilience, and empathy as the main values. The main goal is to form a generation that is not only academically intelligent but also morally responsible and appreciates the diversity of society. Character education in Indonesia reflects conformity with Emile Durkheim's view of the influence of society on individual behavior through an emphasis on communal values, strengthening solidarity in society.

Introduction. As education evolves in the digital age, integrating technology into teaching and learning has become pivotal. This digital transformation carries profound implications for youth experiences and cognition warranting extensive research. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of embedded digital technologies and online tools on learning experiences and consciousness among Kazakhstani and Turkish youth. Specifically, it sought to examine the relationship between key variables and interpret the findings through robust philosophical frameworks spanning critical theory to pragmatism. Study participants and methods. The study surveyed 90 bachelor's and master's students from reputable Kazakhstani and Turkish universities, examining the relationship between digital integration, online tools, learning experiences and human consciousness. Quantitative analysis entailed correlation and regression techniques. Robust philosophical frameworks spanning critical theory to axiology anchored the investigation. The results. Strong positive correlations emerged between all variables – learning experiences, online tools, digital integration and human consciousness (range of r = 0.660 to 0.834). This tight alignment implies technology integration fundamentally transforms education by enabling more interactive, creative and personalized learning. Likewise, extensive online tool use strongly associates with peer collaboration, global awareness and analytical thinking, suggesting enhanced cognition. However, ethical risks around misinformation and critical analysis diminishment must be addressed. Regression analysis further evidenced the significant positive impact of digitalization on consciousness (p &lt; 0.001), underscoring its promise. Yet equitable governance is essential to ensure prudent oversight alongside optimization. Overall, given judicious and ethical implementation, embedded digital tools demonstrate immense potential to enrich diverse student experiences and minds. Conclusions. This pioneering analysis enriches philosophical understanding of how embedded digital tools are transforming youth learning and minds. The robust correlations substantiate prevailing assumptions that judicious technology integration fundamentally expands interactive, creative education opportunities aligned with students' needs and interests. The findings also reinforce sociocultural notions of peer socialization in virtual environments catalyzing enriched consciousness. However, risks around misinformation and critical analysis diminishment temper techno-utopian visions, compelling context-attuned governance frameworks. Key contributions include illuminating these complex dynamics and ethical dimensions within Muslim-majority nations. Overall, the research carries profound practical implications for pedagogical digital competence models, assessment mechanisms, and proactive policies prioritizing equitable access and ethical digital literacy. As education evolves for digital native generations, optimizing technology’s merits while mitigating its risks remains an imperative, multifaceted challenge.

The problem considered in this article is the psychologicalaspects of increasing educational and cognitive competence. Today, one of themain problems in the field of general education is the decline in the educationaland cognitive competencies of students. A direct factor affecting the decline in thequality of education of students is considered as a result of the rapid developmentof technologies. The ability of students to write competently, to collect thoughts,to speak clearly and clearly, to repeat the acquired knowledge onlyreproductively, and to remember it in a short time has become a disease of ourtime. Therefore, through this search, explaining the concept of "readingcognition", the problem of its formation in the minds of students and developmentin the pedagogical process was discussed.

Meaningful Learning Through The Innovation of Kit I-Sir in Islamic Education

Meaningful Learning involves an interactive learning culture and climate, meaning students are actively and meaningfully involved. The KIT i-SIR was produced to meet the combination of pedagogical practices and innovative practices in the classroom to improve, drive and add value to learning. KIT i-SIR is an Innovation Teaching Aid (BBM) developed for the field of Sirah which is one of the fields in Islamic Education. The Sirah field is a field that challenges the student's mind to remember the important contents of a topic. Thus, this i-SIR KIT was produced to make it easier for students to recall the stories delivered by the teacher easily, correctly and cheerfully. The teacher has injected an element of innovation by using the coordinate method in this i-SIR KIT, in which the students have to place the important magnetic contents on the coordinate board provided according to the coordinates or numbers that have been set based on the set of stories given. Then the students will read in groups and re-copy the important contents in the blank brochure as an individual written exercise. This gives a difference to the students because the exercises are not written in existing notebooks. Then students can color and beautify the brochure according to their creativity. After that, the brochure can be used as a pocket note to make it easier for students to review at any time. So, with this KIT i-SIR, students will have more fun in learning Sirah because it involves game activities and art elements that can involve all levels of students, i.e. weak, average and excellent students in groups. Therefore, the use of this KIT i-SIR is able to stimulate cognitive, psychomotor and affective students in learning Sirah that meets the characteristics of learning activities of the 21st century (PAK 21).

General concepts, categories and approaches related to understanding are classified. It is noted that integration contributes to the formation of different types of knowledge. It is emphasized that teaching similar and complementary topics in different subjects at the same level will give students more comprehensive knowledge.

Flipping diverse classrooms

Flipped Classroom is a pedagogical approach in which all or some of direct instruction is moved outside of the face-to-face environment to dedicate more in-class time to ‘hands-on’, experimental and engaging activities. Usually enabled by educational technology, the Flipped Classroom approach draws on the ‘active learning’ philosophy which implies that students must share responsibility for their learning with their instructors, resulting in more impactful learner behaviours. Considering university classrooms are increasingly diverse, with international students forming a significant cohort of learners, instructor perceptions of internationals students in Flipped Classrooms are of interest. This is particularly important because international students, especially those from Asian countries, can be perceived by instructors as ‘passive’ learners’ regardless of students’ actual skills, learning preferences and goals. This presumed ‘passivity’ may clash with instructors’ goals, potentially creating tensions-filled dynamics between instructors and international students in Flipped Classrooms. The proposed article explores university instructors’ perceptions of international students in technology-enabled Flipped Classrooms to understand how these perceptions may influence instructors’ choices for the design of the flip. Findings demonstrate that while some instructors view international students as a barrier to impactful Flipped Classroom, others draw on their classroom’s diversity, using it as a source of inspiration, and designing the flip with international students in mind.

Basic dairy and beef nutrition principles for the new graduate

Ruminant nutrition is often considered a difficult and complex subject in the minds of veterinary students. This may be due to the lack of nutritional training in veterinary colleges, the lack of exposure to agriculture, or because nutrition is considered a separate career practiced by a nutritionist. Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. The purpose of the nutritional program is to provide safe feed that meets the cow’s nutritional require­ments. Veterinarians have an intricate knowledge of ruminant health and a well-developed problem-solving skillset. These at­tributes make the veterinarian highly capable of consulting with clients regarding nutritional concepts. The goal of this session is to demonstrate to aspiring veterinarians that nutrition is simple in concept and can be easily implemented in clinical practice.

Interpretasi Mengenai Keharusan Belajar dan Mengajar dalam Al-Qur’an

Islam is basically a religion that requires continuous efforts to acquire knowledge. Muslims are obliged to gain knowledge from birth to death. In educating students, educators have an obligation to provide the best possible learning. In this case, educators can imitate the lessons taught by the Prophet. This article aims to describe the obligation to study according to an Islamic perspective in terms of focusing on the hadith of the Prophet regarding the obligation to study. This can be seen in the Al Quran and Hadith, the type of research used in this research is library research. The results of this research are that the teaching and learning process should be related to the characteristics of Prophetic teaching. Be kind to your students, protect them, motivate them, relate events in the learning process, familiarize yourself with dialogue and mental strategies, and maintain anonymity when criticizing or praising students. So that education remains embedded in the minds of students, we need to apply methods that provide good Uswatun Hasana to students

Application of binary lessons in mathematics as a factor of achieving the requirements of the updated Federal State Standards of basic general education

As part of the introduction of the updated Federal State Educational Standard for basic general education, the school is required to pay special attention not only to meeting the requirements for subject learning outcomes, but also to the development of functional literacy and soft skills. As part of the implementation of this direction, special attention is paid to increasing the level of mathematical literacy of students as an integral element of functional literacy. The key subjects in secondary schools that contribute to this process are mathematics, physics and computer science. Since the potential of meta-subjectivity and interdisciplinary communication of the subject of mathematics directly depends on its potential as a teaching and educational system, the article makes a critical assessment of the content of training and introduces proposals for its optimization in terms of focus on both the formation of mathematical literacy and the development of the mind and thinking of students, the formation of their mathematical culture and metamathematical knowledge. Paying attention to the mathematical component, the article notes that currently, as part of the implementation of the basic general education program, the emphasis is shifting to the area of the possibility of applying mathematical knowledge, skills and abilities to the problems of everyday reality. Thus, to increase the level of mathematical literacy as an integral element of functional literacy, an interdisciplinary consideration of the mathematics course and a search for ways to implement interdisciplinary connections are required. From this point of view, as an example for such an implementation, the issue of compiling and solving educational problems that can be used when conducting binary or integrated lessons in mathematics and physics was considered. The integrative nature of the content of binary lessons in mathematics and physics means the need for a synthesis of knowledge and methods of activity for students to implement it, which allows students to better assimilate the material, since they can see the connection between different subjects

The Realistic Dilemma and Implementation Path of Campus Football Development in Minority Areas under the Background of Rural Revitalization Strategy

On February 25, 2021, the National Poverty Alleviation Commendation Conference solemnly announced to the world that poverty alleviation has achieved comprehensive victory. Rural revitalization strategy is the new era to accelerate rural development, promote the integration of urban and rural development of the general starting point, the proposal of rural revitalization for the development of rural sports to create favorable conditions, but also provides an important opportunity for the vigorous development of rural campus football. Under the guarantee of the national government, the poverty alleviation in ethnic minority areas has achieved initial results, but the geographical location of ethnic minority areas is remote, the distribution of personnel is relatively scattered, the educational environment is backward, and the teachers are insufficient, and many key problems still need to be "tailored". Campus football is the only way for the development of school sports in minority areas and a strong support for the high-quality development of school sports in rural areas. The development of campus football in minority areas is conducive to breaking the single physical education teaching mode in rural areas, promoting the all-round development of students' body and mind, awakening the sportsmanship of people in minority areas, and reducing the possibility of education in minority areas returning to poverty. Therefore, in combination with the national policy background of rural revitalization, this study investigates the difficulties and problems in the development of campus football in border minority areas by means of literature, questionnaire and field investigation, in order to analyze the predicament of campus football in minority areas, and aims to provide ideas for better development of campus football in minority areas.
