Writing Workshops in a Research Methods Course

Background Students in research methods courses often engage in the research process and write about their findings in an APA Style report. This process can be intimidating and challenging for students. Objective The purpose of this preliminary study was to examine the use of writing workshops in teaching students to write research reports. Method The Writing Workshop Model included pre-writing worksheets, in-class writing, peer review, and self-evaluation. This method was compared to a more Standard Model that included writing instruction and peer review. Results Students under the Writing Workshop Model had higher scores on the research report than those under the Standard Model. The pre-writing worksheets, in-class writing, and self-evaluation were rated higher than the peer review component of the Writing Workshop Model. Conclusions The Writing Workshop Model may be an effective way to provide support for students during the writing process, thereby enhancing the quality of APA Style research reports. Teaching Implications Instructors of psychology courses could consider incorporating writing workshop components such as pre-writing worksheets, self-evaluations, and in-class writing opportunities to support student writing. Although peer review may be helpful, it is generally unpopular among students.

Birds of passage: Rudolf Peierls and Dick Dalitz in Oxford

Abstract This paper traces the different routes that Rudolf Peierls and Dick Dalitz travelled on their way to being the founding members of a new Department of Theoretical Physics in Oxford. Peierls had had the good fortune to meet all of the originators of modern quantum mechanics in Europe and had been able to apply the new theory to many areas of physics. At Birmingham with Otto Frisch he wrote the famous Frisch-Peierls Memorandum which showed that it was possible to develop an atomic bomb. Dalitz had a shorter route to Oxford and worked with Peierls at Birmingham and Hans Bethe at Cornell before rejoining Peierls in Oxford after seven years in Chicago. His pioneering work on both the τ-θ puzzle and on the constituent quark model are then briefly described. The efforts of both Rudolf and Genia Peierls to create a ‘Bohr extended family’ model for his department in both Birmingham and Oxford are described, along with some observations about their style of theoretical physics research as ‘phenomenologists’.

Unravelling the stylistic nuances: a comparative multidimensional analysis of amateur and professional translations of Legends of the Condor Heroes

Style research has always been an important field in corpus-based translation studies. However, the stylistic differences between amateur and professional translations of epic Chinese martial arts fiction have received limited attention in the existing literature. This study addresses this gap by examining the stylistic differences in amateur and professional translations of the novel Legends of the Condor Heroes, a representative work of this genre gaining popularity through fan-translation websites. Employing Biber’s multidimensional analysis, this study investigates fictional speech and narration in both amateur and professional translations. The findings reveal that amateur translations exhibit less variation between speech and narration, characterized by lower levels of involvement in dialog and reduced informational density in narrative passages. Moreover, amateur translations tend to employ more abstract language across both speech and narration compared to their professional counterparts. These stylistic disparities may influence readers’ comprehension and engagement with the text, potentially affecting their access to critical narrative elements. The study posits that the lack of professional training and experience, as well as the collaborative and open-source nature of amateur translation communities, may contribute to these observed differences in amateur translations. This research contributes to translation studies by examining stylistic differences between amateur and professional translations of Chinese martial arts fiction, potentially informing future studies on reader engagement and the reception of translated Chinese literature. The findings also highlight the importance of considering the impact of amateur translation practices on the dissemination and reception of popular genres in cross-cultural contexts.

Unraveling Eileen Chang’s stylistic multiverse: insights from multivariate analysis with multifactorial design

Abstract This study employs multivariate analysis within a multifactorial design to investigate the author-translator style of distinguished Chinese author Eileen Chang. Using principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), it examines Chang’s stylistic multiverse across three literary types: original writing, self-translation, and regular translation of others’ works. The findings reveal diverse patterns of stylistic convergence and divergence among these literary types, analyzed using the metrics of the most frequent words: 200-MFW, 20-MFW, and 5-MFW. These patterns are shaped by the perspectives introduced by two explanatory factors, translation status (original versus translated) and translation type (self-translation versus regular translation), and influenced by Chang’s literary ambition, translation philosophy, and patronage. The study contributes methodologically to author-translator style research by demonstrating the effectiveness of multifactorial and multivariate approaches, which not only provide profound insights into datasets but facilitate methodological triangulation.

Introduction. Digitalization of education has opened up new opportunities for the development and application of the didactic potential of digital technologies in teaching algebra in the context of bilingualism. This determined the purpose of this work, which is to create a methodological system for teaching algebra to bilingual students and an album of animated drawings in a digital environment. Scientific and pedagogical research focuses on the problem of mathematical training of schoolchildren in the context of bilingualism. From the point of view of improving the quality of education, it is advisable to rely on visual-figurative and associative thinking developed by bilingual students. Materials and methods. The experimental study involved 50 students of the seventh grade of gymnasium No. 5 in the city of Kyzyl, Republic of Tyva (Russian Federation). The methods of comparative analysis of scientific, pedagogical and methodological sources, empirical and statistical methods (Student's t-test) are applied. Results. A methodological system for teaching algebra to bilingual students using an album of animated drawings in a digital environment has been developed. An album of animated drawings is presented, implemented in the form of an electronic training course in the electronic learning system of Tuvan State University and the results of its application in teaching algebra to bilingual students. As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that in the absence of statistically significant differences in the control and experimental groups at the time of the initial control, since tэмп = 2,00 < tкр = 2,01, during the final control, tэмп = 2,80 > tкр = 2,01 at the significance level p < 0,05. This indicates that the compared groups are significantly different and the experimental hypothesis about the effectiveness of using an album of animated drawings as an innovative means of teaching seventh grade algebra in the digital environment of bilingual students is confirmed. Conclusion. The use of an album of animated drawings as an innovative means of teaching algebra in the digital environment of bilingual students of the seventh grade of the Republic of Tyva increases the effectiveness of learning by increasing the clarity of algebraic concepts and statements, reducing the amount of non-essential calculations, as well as the use of mechanisms for rapid assessment of learning outcomes using a developed system of bilingual prompts. The proposed learning tool forms and develops an experimental research style of learning.

Charting the Trajectory of Corpus Translation Studies: Exploring Future Avenues for Advancement

Abstract This article delves into the trajectory of corpus translation studies (CTS) over the past two decades, summarizing key areas of existing research and identifying potential gaps and challenges within the field. The review encompasses various research areas, including translation universals, translator style, translation norms, and translation pedagogy. It acknowledges the valuable contributions made in these areas while also highlighting potential areas for improvement, such as the need to incorporate functional aspects in translator style research and align translation training programs with professional requirements. The review introduces (De Sutter, Gert, and Marie-Aude Lefer. 2020. “On the Need for a New Research Agenda for Corpus-Based Translation Studies: A Multi-Methodological, Multifactorial and Interdisciplinary Approach.” Perspectives 28 (1): 1–23) new research agenda for CTS, which advocates for multifactorial designs, methodological pluralism, and interdisciplinarity. This agenda facilitates two analysis modes: one utilizing corpus methods to examine translation products, and the other employing diverse methods to investigate products, processes, participants, and contexts in corpus-assisted translation practices. It is argued that these two analysis modes offer valuable guidance for future corpus-assisted translation studies.

The Qur'anic Perspective Of Surah Al-Humazah Manifests The Values Of Islamic Education

This study was inspired by a crisis of Islamic values in education that has been getting worse because of a lack of material things, social and cultural issues, and the loss of Islamic values and principles. There are real beliefs and great examples all around us. As a result, the Qur'an, which is the source of all knowledge, provides resources and useful examples for the development of value-based education. Regardless of the structure of the verse, every verse in the Qur'an has an instructive value that can be explored and expanded. Surah al-Humazah is one of the verses in the Quran that highlights the importance of education. This verse is a threat to anyone who harasses others, promotes untruth and unprofitable information, swears, or gathers money. The study of the educational ideals in the Al-Qur'an al-Humazah letters is the subject of this research, which uses qualitative methodology and focuses on the library research style (library research). To contextualize the values of education in al-Humazah's letter, we need to consider the following: The importance of moral education to God as a servant who is always satisfied with the command of his Creator. It is closely related to the significance of moral instruction to each other (humanity), which ensures that life together is always peaceful, safe, enjoyable, and life. As well as having a sense of sympathy and empathy that is a form of social education values towards each other.

A new study on the flaws in positive leadership research

A new article, “A fatal flaw: Positive leadership style research creates causal illusions,” in The Leadership Quarterly finds that positive leadership approaches such as “authentic, ethical, and servant leadership” can’t be accurately measured, because they “conflate behaviors with subjective evaluations of leaders.” The writers, Thomas Fischer, Joerg Dietz and John Antonakis, claim that previously published positive research is therefore unreliable, and that “positive leadership style research is not only wrong but also practically futile” because it's impossible to separate out “concrete and learnable behaviors.”

World, Symbol, Gaze

As it is written in the Bhagavad Gita: 1 The mind wanders, It’s restless at any moment, It needs to be controlled, Accept self-discipline. The three texts in this portfolio follow a critical, reflexive, and self-constraining first- person perspective. They are, in order: the “World” text, the “Symbol” text, and the “Gaze” text, with the “World” text as the starting point. The “World” text specifically analyzes Khyentse Norbu’s narrative film, Travellers and Magicians, and points out the Māyā characteristics of film. The “Symbol” text reflects on the distance between human and the God by combining semiotics and personal experience of devoting self to Buddhism with a research method that is mutually referenced with the Perennial philosophy. Finally, inspired by the first two texts, the “Gaze” text is a summative and complementary text. It takes Benjamin’s research as a starting point to reflect on the ritual value of contemporary spiritual films. These three texts point to each other and suggest a research style and methodology that is closely linked to personal experience, religion, and art.

Acoustic dynamics in performance halls: Enhancing violin sound quality in the FPSD orchestra room

With an emphasis on improving violin sound quality, this study explores the acoustic dynamics of the FPSD Orchestra Room at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. Direct and reflected sound are the two factors that impact the phenomena of interior sound. This research emphasizes the crucial balance between sound absorption and reflection to optimize the acoustic environment and ensure clarity and richness in violin performances. Improving acoustic conditions is vital to increase audience experience and performance quality. The study used a qualitative descriptive research style combining literature review and observations. The research site was the FPSD Orchestra Room, renowned for its historical significance and contribution to music education. The observations revealed significant acoustic obstacles that adversely affected the violin sound's clarity, including excessive reverberation and unequal sound dispersion. The literature review revealed the theoretical underpinnings of sound propagation, reverberation, absorption, reflection, and diffraction. The acoustic environment can be greatly enhanced by introducing sound-absorbing materials to optimize reverberation duration, controlling reflections with diffusers, and utilizing adaptive acoustic systems. Furthermore, combining virtual acoustics technology with digital sound processing systems allows for dynamic control over acoustic parameters, increasing the performance space's adaptability. These improvements provide a customized acoustic environment that supports a variety of musical performances and guarantees the audience a clear, engaging auditory experience. This study emphasizes the significance of fusing cutting-edge technology innovations with conventional acoustic design concepts to attain optimal sound quality in performance halls. Innovation and research must never stop to improve these acoustic settings even further.

Anesthetized animal experiments for neuroscience research.

Brain research has progressed with anesthetized animal experiments for a long time. Recent progress in research techniques allows us to measure neuronal activity in awake animals combined with behavioral tasks. The trends became more prominent in the last decade. This new research style triggers the paradigm shift in the research of brain science, and new insights into brain function have been revealed. It is reasonable to consider that awake animal experiments are more ideal for understanding naturalistic brain function than anesthetized ones. However, the anesthetized animal experiment still has advantages in some experiments. To take advantage of the anesthetized animal experiments, it is important to understand the mechanism of anesthesia and carefully handle the obtained data. In this minireview, we will shortly summarize the molecular mechanism of anesthesia in animal experiments, a recent understanding of the neuronal activities in a sensory system in the anesthetized animal brain, and consider the advantages and disadvantages of the anesthetized and awake animal experiments. This discussion will help us to use both research conditions in the proper manner.

Humboldtian Science and Humboldt's science.

This article investigates why Humboldtian Science, as a heuristic concept, has gained prominence in the historiography of science and requires clarification. It offers an ideal-type model of comparative research and exact measurements across vast spaces, which Susan F. Cannon and others tied to Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). Yet, he himself was less "Humboldtian" than this concept suggests. The article proposes to disentangle Humboldtian Science from Humboldt's science, which constituted a set of individual research practices that defied the ideal of precision. Humboldt's science was often impromptu, marked by epistemological and personal insecurities, and embedded in the protagonist's peripatetic way of living and frequently erratic writing style. Historicizing Humboldt's science undermines the exceptionalism that elevates the Prussian savant above his contemporaries and casts him as a singular figure. This critical reflection encourages biographical approaches to the history of science, balancing heuristic generalizations and attention to individual research styles.

THE REVERSE IMPACT OF THE «SOCIALIST REALISM» METHOD IN CREATING A HERO'S PERSONALITY AND MODERN KAZAKH NOVEL

The era of the Soviet Union proved that real national literature cannot be created under colonialism. The "Socialist realism" method created by the authorities had a reverse impact on the nature of the artistic image. The characters in the work are politicized. Special attention was paid to the class division (rich and poor), and the images were depicted one-sidedly. The collapse of the USSR allowed the development of a new type of literature in the post-Soviet countries. In the research paper, we made comparisons, and the damage caused by the method of "socialist realism" to fiction is mentioned. However, these years were also successful. Kazakh literature has developed in terms of genres. The genre of the novel has been mastered. Talented writers have mastered describing the reality of life with clues. Literary tradition and skill practices were used in the literature of the period of Independence. The fate and history of the nation were shown in innovative novels. Modern realities and changed human psychology were depicted together with the world space. A stream of postmodern, realistic novels came to literature. The release of the novel from political restrictions allowed genre change (historical, biographical, satirical, fantasy, etc.). The storytelling style has been renewed. There was new artistic and stylistic research in creating a hero’s personality.

Inclusive Education during Pandemic Crisis of COVID-19

The recent expansion of the COVID-19 outbreak has drastically altered the educational landscape, causing certain schools to operate on a distance education basis. The goal of this study is to investigate this phenomenon in depth, focusing on the elements that may contribute to the marginalization of students with learning disabilities and their immigration biography. At the same time, it attempts to investigate the perspectives of a group of students, teachers, and parents on how to avoid marginalization as a result of distance education. We employed a mixed research style to study the aforementioned problem. A total of 132 secondary school students, 52 secondary school teachers, and 49 secondary school parents were included in the study. As research tools, questionnaires, focus groups, observations and interviews were used. The data analysis reveals that the elements which may contribute to marginalization in remote education are primarily related to attention challenges, but also to technical difficulties. According to the participants, a closer collaboration between the Ministry of Education, school administrations and teachers, as well as revisions to the substance of teaching subjects, may be the solution to the problem. Keywords: COVID-19, distance learning, inclusive education

“Multimodal” Fits All: Revisiting the Relevance of Perceptual Learning Styles in Higher Education Today

Teaching has been continuously evaluated in light of learning styles research. This highlights the significance of investigating learning styles that may be evolving in tandem with changes in the contemporary era. This study assumes that twenty-first-century students share characteristics not based on unimodal models of learning styles, particularly in higher education. It supports multimodality at both the learning and teaching levels since learners typically prefer and share various learning styles. It employs the field's most influential learning styles framework, Reid's (1987) perceptual learning styles instrument, to investigate the validity of that assumption. To add to and question the corpus of literature that exists in the field, we looked at Saudi university-level learning styles in relation to gender and academic major as independent variables. Participants were identified as English as a foreign language (EFL) student from various academic majors. The quantitative research design of this study revealed that neither academic major nor gender significantly affected the learners’ preferences. Participants demonstrated a diversity of preferences for perceptual learning styles, with minimal overall differences. Nonetheless, they favored auditory learning over group and kinaesthetic styles. It was observed that students with an English major preferred individual learning styles. Research in the field, including the current study, found some discrepancies in PLS tendencies across different contexts and factors. With such inconsistent patterns, multimodal education is a good opportunity for teachers and educationists.
