KEMAMPUAN REPRESENTASI MATEMATIS CALON GURU MATEMATIKA PADA MATA KULIAH TEORI PELUANG

In understanding mathematics learning, representation is considered an entry point in solving various complex mathematical problems. The ability of mathematical representation is related to the expression of mathematical ideas using various ways, including written language, spoken language, pictures, symbols, examples, diagrams, graphs, or other real examples as representations. The research design used is mixed research (Mixed Method). The subjects in this study were 17 prospective mathematics teacher students, but then 3 (three) people were selected as subjects to be interviewed. Consists of subjects with high category (S1), subjects with medium category (S2), and subjects with low category (S3). Data collection was carried out using test instruments in the form of description questions in the probability theory course. From the test results, after being examined, students were selected to represent each category. Furthermore, by using the results of student tests, interviews were conducted to compare the results of interviews with student answers. The results of the written test and the results of the interview test were then analyzed to determine the student's representational ability. The results of this study indicate that students' mathematical representation skills in the probability theory course are still relatively low, this can be seen in 3 (three) subjects after matching the results of the written test and the results of the interview test. Individuals with high categories can meet the indicators of expression representation or mathematical equations and verbal representations. Subjects in the medium category were able to fulfill the indicators of mathematical representation or expression. Low subjects were not able to fulfill one of the three indicators of mathematical representation ability

Teaching Application and Evaluation of Ideological and Political Courses Based on Multisource Data Fusion

Domestic education and scientific nature of realization automatic evaluation have become issues of concern. The integration of information technology in the teaching field of ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities (hereinafter referred to as “ideological and political courses”) inevitably has an important impact on the teaching of traditional ideological and political courses. ASP.NET is the main interface technology of .NET. .NET is an environment that can provide support for building development and execution in multiple languages, and realizes the functions of language development, code compilation, building configuration, program operation, and object interaction. The system development tool is ASP.NET (Visual Studio 2013), the background database development tool is Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and the system development environment is Windows 7 ×64. The core of the system is multisource data fusion. Firstly, the data are preprocessed to extract useful information data to form data object fusion. Then, convert the code table into a transaction library. In view of the large amount of data to be mined and easily affect mining quality, the improved Apriori-P algorithm based on partitioning in association with rule technology is applied. This algorithm is used to generate frequent itemsets. According to the given minimum confidence, a data fusion rule is generated. Then, the fusion result is generated from the corresponding data report. Before data fusion, system administrators should select data sources from historical databases or existing evaluation databases. When querying rules, different users can log in to the system to query their own data content, students can query the teacher’s evaluation results, teachers can query their own evaluation results, and school administrators can view the data fusion results. After evaluating teachers through the campus network, all evaluation data can be integrated and analyzed, and the system automatically generates analysis results corresponding to users. The stability of the teaching evaluation system is better, and the system performance can reach 89% at 5,000 person-hours. The degree of integration between the form of informatization teaching and the teaching content of ideological and political courses, and the information literacy of teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities need to be further improved. This research helps in scientific education. For the problems existing in the current research, starting from the three aspects of teaching concept, teaching mode, and teachers’ information literacy, it proposes corresponding effective ways to promote the deep integration of information technology and ideological and political teaching in colleges and universities.

Using an interprofessional competency framework to enhance collaborative pediatric nursing education and practice

BackgroundInterprofessional education (IPE) provides healthcare students with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide safe and effective collaborative care in a variety of clinical settings. Inclusion of IPE in nursing curricula is required for program accreditation in Canada; a variety of learning strategies at varied levels are used to meet this requirement. As this formal requirement only occurred over the last decade, development, facilitation, and evaluation of IPE interventions are ongoing.PurposeThe purpose of this study was to examine if exposure to an introductory IPE activity influenced third-year undergraduate nursing students’ perceived ability to practice competent interprofessional collaboration (IPC).MethodsThe introductory IPE activity included ten-hours of interactive lectures and related case studies, grounded in the National Interprofessional Competency Framework, delivered by various healthcare professionals in a third-year nursing theory and clinical course. Following completion of the courses, quantitative data were collected via the Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey (ICCAS) which was used to evaluate nursing students’ change in competencies for IPC. Frequencies, percentages, and means were used to analyze the demographic data, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to evaluate the internal reliability of the ICCAS, and paired t-tests were conducted to measure the difference from pre- to post-participation for all 20 items and 6 subscales of the ICCAS.ResultsStudy participants (n = 111) completed the ICCAS at the end of the courses to measure change in six competencies. The survey results indicated improvements in all competencies following the IPE activity.ConclusionsThe significant findings demonstrate that exposure to introductory IPE activities, involving nursing students and other healthcare professionals, hold promise for enhancing IPC in pediatric clinical settings. These findings can be used to inform the development of formal IPE interventions.

Construction of situational teaching mode in ideological and political classroom based on digital twin technology

With the increased use of information networks and the barrage of media such as Video of Things (VoT), various new ideas and concepts affect college students' behavior and value exposure. It necessitates analyzing the current problems in the VoT-enabled teaching processes in colleges and universities, continuously reforming teaching methods, and seeking to improve the relevance and effectiveness of teaching ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities. To end this, we propose an ideological VoT model using digital twin technology in this paper. Furthermore, we design three progressive models such as physical simulation scenes, character experience scenes, and simulation experiment scene design. We discuss experiments to validate the model developed in this paper. The simulation results revealed the efficiency of the proposed model compared to similar techniques.

Choreographing a Rebuttal: Thinking through Praxis in South Asian Dance Pedagogy

ABSTRACT As an artist/academic, I discuss my pedagogical interventions in teaching Odissi through studio, theory, and praxis courses to populations across university students and professional artists. Through interdisciplinary research, I work at the confluence of historical and contemporary forces. Casteist, fundamentalist, racist, sexist, ablist, and hierarchical modes of teaching and learning plague Odissi as part of the field popularly known as “Indian classical dance.” The appellation of “classical” is itself a byproduct of complex social and cultural forces across Hindu majoritarianism, historical nostalgia, and anti-colonial nationalist resistance. While dance scholars have unpacked this historical complexity to some extent, I apply contemporary trends in performance and pedagogy that have received little scholarly engagement. I ground my work in an ethos of community building creating through lines across the diasporic Indian community and academia. This way of working presents questions of access and ownership as it bumps up against historical entanglements.

The Effect of Evocative Frames on Strategic Decisions

We employ the frame perspective and data from a natural experiment conducted over a period of 22 years to investigate framing effects and how they can influence strategic decision-making in a total of 205 teams of participants in an organization theory course. We find that frames can have substantial effects on strategic decisions, through evoking implicit storylines which invite moral considerations and emotions into the decision process. The finding that frames can implicitly impact decisions through their selectivity, salience and emotive effects extends our understanding of strategic decision making as well as of how frames shape decisions. We contribute to understanding of frames and framing effects by highlighting the pervasive role of emotion; and offer an expanded perspective that goes beyond frames as interpretive schemes, to view them as situated symbolic actions. We conclude by discussing practical implications for executives and organizations.

Based on these data, it can be concluded that the module that has been developed by the researcher is suitable for use and tested on a limited scale in the field. The effectiveness of the Module using the Uswah Hasanah Method through the Revitalization of Art-Based Acehnese Oral Folklore is to conduct a limited trial on Semester I Indonesian Tadris Department students in the Literary Theory Course using the module that has been developed is very good.

Simplifying Karnaugh Maps by Making Groups of Non-power-of-two Elements

When we study the Karnaugh map in the switching theory course, we learn that the ones in the map are combined in rectangles whose length and width must be a power of two. The result is the logic function described as a sum of products. This paper shows that we can also make groups where the length and width of the rectangles are equal to three. This results in a logic function that is simpler than the sum of products in terms of logic gates, leading to more hardware-efficient circuits. This idea is extended later in the paper to other groups of elements. Finally, a new perspective on the Karnaugh map that integrates the proposed approach with the conventional one is provided. This can be used in switching theory courses to improve the explanation of the Karnaugh map.

The Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on the Learning Process among Students: A Comparison between Jordan and Turkey

COVID-19 was declared by the WHO as a pandemic affecting several aspects of human lives. Follow-up investigations showed that the pandemic affected tertiary education. This study was designed to assess the online learning process among students living in Turkey and Jordan during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted via an online survey. The survey was followed by a focus group. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). A total number of 214 students participated in this study. Most of the participants were female, single, and undergraduates. Regarding the theory courses, the percentage of Turkish and Jordanian students who evaluated the online learning as ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’ or ‘good’ was greater than that for the practical courses. With regards to the practical training, more than half of the Turkish students (57.5%) ranked their experience in practical training as ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’ or ‘good’, while a lower proportion was reported by Jordanian students (47.7%). During the focus group, the cons of online learning were more numerous than the pros. The tertiary education in Turkey and Jordan was affected during the pandemic.

Discussion on Ideological and Political Theory Course Leading Collaborative Course in Higher Education

Discussion on Ideological and Political Theory Course Leading Collaborative Course in Higher Education

So You’ve Provincialized the Canon. Now What?

Sociologists are engaging in a long-overdue reckoning about the place of the traditional canon in social theory courses and pedagogy. Instructors are revising their syllabi to include a more diverse set of authors while “provincializing” classics that have long been taught as universal. We confront the question of how to teach contested canonical works after an instructor has committed to this work. We argue that progressive reforms to theory syllabi can raise new problems associated with teaching “canonical” works and propose one way to address them with a flexible recipe designed to resolve tensions between pedagogical imperatives. An extended example from our experience teaching Durkheim’s The Elementary Forms of Religious Life is employed to illustrate our proposal. Our aim is to contribute to an ongoing disciplinary dialogue that will maintain theory’s central place in sociology’s identity while constantly asking what, and whom, it is for.

Engaging Students Using an Arts-Based Pedagogy: Teaching and Learning Sociological Theory through Film, Art, and Music

In this study we explore how incorporating an arts-based pedagogical approach, specifically, the use of film, art, and music, into a second-year sociological theory course enhances students’ overall learning experiences. We report on data collected from a survey given to students enrolled in this course in 2020. Findings reveal that employing this arts-based pedagogy helps students to sustain an interest in the course material, understand the theoretical course material, engage in a higher level of thinking/analysis, feel more confident in their abilities to write about theories covered in the course, apply theory in the real world, contextualize historical content, and enhance their memory of theories and concepts. Findings are also compared with data collected from a similar survey conducted in 2009, revealing that the overall favorable responses to arts-based resources have remained consistent over time and that this pedagogy remains an enduring approach that contributes to positive student learning experiences.

A study on the new mode of three-all-round education based on the four platforms of ideological and Political Education

Curriculum Civics is an important way to promote the "three-all-round education ", and it is the guarantee of the achievement of educational, moral and cultivation goals. Promoting the ideology and politics of the curriculum in the field of education means combining ideological and political knowledge with the diversity of knowledge in the curriculum, and organically unify them, play the role of each course in educating people, improve the quality of school personnel training, and realize students' world outlook and life in the process of knowledge imparting, Views and values. However, there are still many problems in the process of ideological and political construction. For example, in the course of curriculum development, it is difficult to develop a unified direction between professional and ideological and political theory courses, and it is difficult for teachers as a link to integrate curriculum ideological and political, difficulties in the organic integration of professional knowledge and ideological education, etc.Combined with the above problems, the article introduces the new model of four platforms and three education into the process of curriculum ideological and political construction, in order to achieve the goal of effectively promoting the ideological, political and moral education of the curriculum.

Curriculum Improvement Plans based on Satisfaction Survey with Chinese Education Consumers in graduate programs in Arts, Music and Physical Education: A Case Study of ‘A’ University

The purpose of this study is to establish improved curriculum and operation policy for Chinese education consumers by investigating and analyzing the performance of Chinese students in Korea enrolled in graduate programs in arts and physical education. To this end, a focus group interview and a questionnaire survey were conducted with Chinese students and international student affairs staff at ‘A’ University located in a metropolitan area. Analysis research was conducted based on both interview and survey results. Research findings and their implications are as follows: First, student satisfaction for major practical courses was found to be high in terms of their qualitative and quantitative aspects. Thus, other courses and theory courses need to be improved by considering the basic academic skills and Korean language ability of Chinese students. Second, thesis-related research results indicated that Chinese students are not effectively performing thesis writing despite their high awareness of the necessity and importance of writing a thesis. Thus, thesis-related courses should be operated after identifying the problems Chinese students have. Third, investigation on interactions showed that Chinese students have positive and active interactions with professors teaching major practical courses, reflecting the central role of practice in arts and physical education. Thus, efforts should be made to expand Chinese students’ interactions with and understanding of Korean students besides strengthening the role of professors as mentors. Fourth, since research results showed low satisfaction for graduate school operation and its educational environment, it is necessary to build an educational environment conforming to the uniqueness and professionalism of arts and physical education by improving and expanding the practice room environment. In conclusion, a comprehensive approach reflecting the uniqueness and professionalism of arts and physical education should be taken in building educational infrastructure and environment and designing and operating classes for Chinese education consumers. The characteristics of each major and its members must be considered as well to present specific plans in greater detail.

It can be concluded that the development of the Student Activity Sheet is feasible to apply.

On a Unique Solution of a Class of Stochastic Predator–Prey Models with Two-Choice Behavior of Predator Animals

Simple birth–death phenomena are frequently examined in mathematical modeling and probability theory courses since they serve as an excellent foundation for stochastic modeling. Such mechanisms are inherent stochastic extensions of the deterministic population paradigm for population expansion of a particular species in a habitat with constant resource availability and many other organisms. Most animal behavior research differentiates such circumstances into two different events when it comes to two-choice scenarios. On the other hand, in this kind of research, the reward serves a significant role, because, depending on the chosen side and food placement, such situations may be divided into four groups. This article presents a novel stochastic equation that may be used to describe the vast majority of models discussed in the current studies. It is noteworthy that they are connected to the symmetry of the progression of a solution of stochastic equations. The techniques of fixed point theory are employed to explore the existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions to the proposed functional equation. Additionally, some examples are offered to emphasize the significance of our findings.
