THE IMPACT OF INVESTMENT IN SPORTS TEACHERS TRAINING ON PUPILS’ PARTICIPATION IN SPORTING ACTIVITIES IN PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN KENYA

The introduction of the ‘Competence Based Curriculum’ (CBC) in Kenya’s basic education system in 2017 was meant to promote early identification of talents along with arts and sports among other talents. The realization of these can be best achieved through deliberate investment in talent development. One of the key investment and development areas is the training of sports teachers. However, the extent to which primary schools in the country invested in professional or ‘specialist’ training of sports teachers and its effects on pupils’ participation in sports was not well understood. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to establish the impact of investment in sports teachers’ training and its influence on pupils’ participation in sporting activities in Nairobi County, Kenya. Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences theory guided the study. Concurrent triangulation design was used for the study which targeted 68 school heads and teachers in charge of games in 68 public primary schools within Nairobi County using systematic random sampling and purposive sampling techniques. Data was collected using questionnaires and was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) software version 22.0. The results revealed that school investment in teachers’ training for talent management could significantly influence pupils’ participation in sports in primary schools in Nairobi County. However, presently there was a low investment in specialist sports teachers’ training. The study, therefore, recommends that; there is a need to emphasize that the sports teachers get at least one specialist training once posted as teachers apart from the general training they receive in the teacher training colleges.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0907/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The Effect of Digital Learning on the Academic Achievement and Motivation of Natural Sciences Learners: A Case Study of a South African Independent School

The South African basic education system is characterized by inadequate learner performance in science as a result of the provision of limited opportunities for learner-centred instruction. Digital resources can be used in science classrooms to enhance learner engagement and motivation. Digital resources include interactive game-based applications that can be used in online learning environments. This study examined the effect of digital learning on the academic achievement and motivation of grade 9 Natural Sciences learners in a South African independent school. The empirical investigation adopted a mixed method approach as part of a quasi-experimental design. Quantitative data was collected through the administration of questionnaires while qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews. A questionnaire based on the Skeletal System and a motivation questionnaire were administered as pre-tests and post-tests to establish the effectiveness of the use of digital resources as an instructional intervention on the academic achievement and motivation of grade 9 Natural Sciences learners. The empirical investigation is underpinned by the Cultural Historical Activity Theory as the underlying theoretical framework. Key findings revealed significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores as a result of the use of digital resources as an instructional intervention. Theoretical implications for technology-enhanced teaching and learning are discussed.

Comparative Study and Enlightenment of China- Finland Basic Education System

In previous PISA evaluations on different topics, Finnish students have demonstrated outstanding results in reading, mathematics and scientific literacy. Finland has an extremely cold geography and culture, a history and culture that has suffered from colonization and bullying, a Lutheran religious culture that is justified by faith, a political culture that builds a welfare state, and a reading culture that all people participate in. Chinese education has a long history that can be traced back to the present, and there is a strong national culture that can be explored. Compared with Finland, basic education in our country is solid and strict. The comprehensive training in the Finnish education system and the concept of "common good" are worthy of in-depth study.

Didactical Engineering in the Conception of a Teaching Situation Originated from Brazil´s SPAECE Assessment with the Support of the GEOGEBRA Software

"Abstract: This work presents a discussion about the Didactic Training Engineering (EDF) methodology, of French origin, emphasizing the role of the teacher, during his initial or continuous training, through the conception and structuring of a didactic situation, organized by such methodology and based on the Theory of Didactic Situations (TSD). Therefore, the objective of this work is to present a didactic situation, based on the research methodology of (EDF) and focused on the analysis of the teacher's role, through the application of the dialectical phases (action, formulation, validation and institutionalization) provided by the TSD. The mathematical problem chosen to compose such a situation, through preliminary and a priori analyzes by EDF, will be focused on Flat Geometry directed to the Permanent Evaluation System of Basic Education in Ceará (SPAECE). SPAECE (Brazil) is a large-scale assessment, held annually in the state of Ceará, Brazil, involving all elementary and high school students in public schools. In addition, the use of the GeoGebra software as a technological resource for carrying out a didactic transposition of the content covered in the proposed didactic situation stands out. For a better conduct of this teaching and learning process, it is suggested the adoption of a didactic contract between the characters involved and the consideration of possible epistemological obstacles and obstacles that may arise during this process."

WAYS OF ACTUALIZATION OF NATIONAL PERCEPTION OBJECTS OF ARCHITECTURE

Problem statement. Today in Ukraine the mechanisms of public influence on decision-making regarding the development of urban ensembles and cities in general continue to be formed. At the same time, the level of education of ordinary citizens in current trends in architecture, design and urban planning remains quite low. This affects the general semantic state of the architectural content of cities and results in a literal repetition of the visual forms of the XIX century in modern buildings, especially in the central (historical) parts of Ukrainian cities. According to the hypothesis of this research, the solution to this problem is in the creation of a system of free basic architectural education at several different levels. Purpose of the article. The main purpose of this work is to determine ways to update the perception of architectural objects by residents of Ukrainian cities. The objectives of the study are the analysis of publicly available methods of obtaining basic architectural and urban education and their classification, the definition of rational means to increase the general level of awareness in the field of architecture and urban planning. Conclusion. Due to the extraordinary breadth and heterogeneity of the population of large cities of Ukraine, achieving a global departure from inauthentic and irrelevant architectural and urban principles and update the national perception of architectural objects and architecture in general is possible only through introducing a set of actions aimed at a specific target audience (TA). In this study, in order to simplify, only four basic TAs are identified, but in further developments they need to be detailed more to achieve a better actual result. In the general context, the most important will be TA1 (students) − an audience that can begin to receive basic architectural knowledge, sufficient enough to understand the main trends in architecture and urban planning.

A IMPLANTAÇÃO DO EJATEC NA REDE ESTADUAL DE SÃO PAULO: MAIS UM ATAQUE À EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS TRABALHADORES

This article presents an analysis carried out on recent educational policies implemented in the state system of basic education in Sao Paulo, specifically those aimed at aligning Youth and Adult Education with the principles of the Secondary Education Reform. From a theoretical discussion supported by the conceptions of critical pedagogy, we analyzed the documents and official normative guidelines of Seduc-SP for the implementation of EJATEC in schools. We conclude that this is another attack on the right of the working class to education, insofar as it submits it even more to privatist interests, whose objectives go against what is expected of an emancipatory education.

BROKEN & UNEQUAL: THE SOUTH AFRICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM AND THE ATTAINMENT OF THE RIGHT TO BASIC EDUCATION THROUGH LITIGATION

In 1994, South Africa transitioned into a new democratic and constitutional society. Since then, the South African Constitutionnecessitates the transformation of the public basic education system. A new public education system aimed at addressing the malaise of the past. To this end, South African jurisprudence recognises the right to basic education as a right that must be (i) equally accessible to all and (ii) immediately realisable without delay. However, the new education system has not completely succeeded in eliminating the legacy of apartheid, and there are residual differences and polarisation on various grounds, such as race and/or class. Accordingly, this article concedes that a critical survey of South African jurisprudence on the realisation of the right to basic education reveals that there are problems in the delivery of the right to basic education in South Africa. This is particularly the case in relation to black and/or poor South African pupils in the public education system. As such, the article intends to show that litigation (or the threat thereto), plays a fundamental role in the realisation and fulfilment of the right to basic education in South Africa.

To whom and why F. M. Dostoevsky is precious?

The article is devoted to the analysis of F. M. Dostoevsky’s work regarding his 200th anniversary. The author aims to reveal to whom and why the great writer and thinker is precious, and how his work is perceived in Serbia. He tries to evaluate what contributes to and what hinders the comprehension of the F. M. Dostoevsky phenomenon. The author notes that veneration for such a writer can be fully expressed when everyone who has mastered literacy starts reading at least one of his works and feels the field of attraction and repulsion, which does not always correlate with the problem field of scientific F. M. Dostoevsky studies. Unfortunately, the author states that the youth do not initially develop an elementary desire to necessarily be included in the literary classics in such conditions when the entire system of basic education seems to be subordinated to the task of discouraging any desire to read on their own, and even more so to feel and reflect. Interest in «Crime and punishment» is almost impossible to arouse basing on stereotypical comments with a retelling of the plot, some elements of which are included in the tests for the subject devoid of attractiveness. And the plot, moreover, is fully conveyed by the half-page versions of the novel, which are prepared by enterprising interpreters precisely for passing the test as the optimal form of attestation. At the same time, the judgments of foreign writers are used surprisingly widely, and at the same time thoughtlessly – the main thing is that they have an appropriate image. Over time, it becomes more and more obvious that few contemporary writers can compare to F. M. Dostoevsky both in the depth and completeness of ideas about the real life of a Russian person, especially in the scope of its spheres, and in the insight of the analysis of everything that happened and which inevitably followed from what was happening. For a century and a half, F. M. Dostoevsky has remained an unparalleled bearer of the conscience of mankind, a kind of seismograph of the coming upheavals. The author states that in Serbia, the reverent perception of F. M. Dostoevsky, which was formed under the influence of the Russian religious emigration, dominates. A separate topic is also the impressive activity and productivity of the Serbian scientific F. M. Dostoevsky studies. Finally, if all this we project onto the Belarusians, then it would be appropriate to say that F. M. Dostoevsky is the bearer of special patriotism manifested not in superficial pathos, which usually serves either self-praise or complacency, but in soberly analytical and constructive criticism, which presupposes, first of all, self-criticism, as an indispensable component of sound national self-awareness.

Promoting Learning Amidst Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the basic education system in the Philippines. As a response, the Department of Education devised a Learning Continuity Plan to carry on with the learning process. This paper deals with the uncovering of the curriculum management aspect of the Department of Education of the Philippines’ BE-LCP through thematic content analysis. Findings revealed the four phases of the curriculum management of BE-LCP anchored in the adjustments made in the aspects of learning; these are: 1) Correcting Phase (Learning Content); 2) Connecting Phase (Learning Delivery); 3) Coping Phase (Learning Management), and 4) Collecting Phase (Learning Assessment). Further empirical research on the impact of the BE-LCP implementation in Public Basic Education Institutions across the Philippines is recommended.

Directions of robotics in the system of basic and additional education of children

The article reveals the basic concepts associated with robotics: robot, manipulative and mobile (autonomous) robots, robotics. The main directions of the implementation of robotics in the system of basic and additional education of children are considered: educational, competitive, design. The stages of the implementation of the direction of educational robotics, the approximate structure of a lesson in teaching children robotics are presented. The features of the organization of some competitions in robotics, types of tasks for tournament participants, organizational stages are described. The characteristics of the project direction in robotics, the approximate structure of the student's project are given. The importance of each of the considered directions of teaching robotics for the development of the student, its place in the system of general education and the system of additional education is indicated.All three described directions of robotics are in demand among children and parents, teachers, but, despite this, most often only competitive and creative design is implemented in the system of additional education. Unfortunately, in this case, a large number of children capable of robotics may not be identified for objective reasons, and, therefore, lost to engineering professions in the future. Thus, the modern system of basic education faces an acute task of introducing elements of educational robotics into the educational process.

Primary Teachers’ Principles for High-Quality Distance Teaching During COVID-19

ABSTRACT School lockdowns in response to COVID-19 have forced teachers around the world to quickly and unexpectedly shift from face-to-face to distance teaching. The struggle with the forced transition has been even more severe in the lower levels of schooling than in higher education institutions, which had already established online course delivery before the crisis. The current paper investigates Finnish primary teachers’ principles for high-quality distance teaching. Twenty primary teachers were interviewed in April 2020 during the fourth week of the two-month distance teaching period. The findings from phenomenographic analysis revealed that high-quality distance teaching at the primary level requires (1) relatedness, (2) design, (3) routine, and (4) control. This study illustrates the understanding of teachers’ working in a basic education system ranked among the best in the world and thus provides valuable insights for developing instructional practices in distance education.

Smart Learning Tools for Enhancing Basic Education System

Interactive Learning (IL) has evolved the practice of digital technology and virtual communication, mostly by students. IL can be provided by using interactive tools such as Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely (SMART) board or white boards etc. Facial expressions are receiving attention due to its recognized relevance in learning.

Technical and Tactical Command Decision Algorithm of Football Matches Based on Big Data and Neural Network

A successful football team not only consists of more than a dozen people on the field but also includes a complete training, analysis, coaching team behind it, and the same basic education and youth training system. With the development of scientific concepts and the advancement of computer technology, more people have begun to study the use of modern technology to replace part of the traditional human work with low creativity and the use of more convenient quantitative analysis, prediction and other technologies to assist football professionals’ decision-making. Based on big data and neural network technology, this paper has designed a novel football technical and tactical command decision algorithm. First, the use of big data technology for analyzing the characteristics of the historical big data of football competitions provides valuable data for the work of this article. Secondly, to formulate scientific and reasonable football technical and tactical command, it requires learning effective offensive or defensive strategies from the big data of football competitions. This article uses deep neural networks to learn massive amounts of football competition data, which can effectively predict the offensive and defensive tactics of each position of the team to a certain extent. In addition, in order to better learn the timing video data of football matches, this paper also has proposed to use long- and short-term memory networks to improve the algorithm of this paper. The proposed method has achieved good results in football technical and tactical command and decision-making and also provides some new ideas for the subject of football combined with computer technology.
