Empowering Students’ Autonomous Learning through Self-regulation, Metacognitive Strategies, and Collaborative Learning Environments

This article presents the enhancement of autonomous learning among learners using self-regulation strategies, metacognition, and a cooperative learning environment. These elements contribute to higher academic achievement. Promoting learners to enhance their knowledge of self-regulation and developing metacognitive skills in a cooperative learning environment is important for student learning in the 21st century. It helps learners spend time outside of universities to develop their knowledge and understanding. These skills are necessary for lifelong learning. This study shows that to promote students’ autonomy, teachers need to develop new teaching strategies and encourage students to have skills in planning, teamwork, self-reflection, and self-assessment, as well as time management with technology and effective communication. Recognizing the value of self- autonomous learning is essential for students. To transition from being passive recipients of information from lecturers to actively seeking knowledge and continuously learning independently, learners must embrace new learning strategies.

Spiritual-value guidelines in the educational process: the way to a mature self-concept

The educational process in modern conditions requires not only a high level of professional knowledge and skills from teachers, but also the presence of a mature self - concept based on spiritual and value orientations. This issue becomes particularly relevant today as teachers are seen as agents of change who can influence the future of society. The article under review is devoted to the study of the role of spiritual and value orientations in the formation of a mature self - concept among teachers. In the context of modern social and cultural changes, special attention is paid to developing a harmonious and spiritually mature personality. The analysis of previous studies in this area revealed unresolved aspects, which have become the subject of the current research. The problem of spiritual and value orientations of teachers as a pathway to a mature self - concept is thoroughly explored. For the empirical study, a sample of 420 individuals was formed. These individuals were taking advanced training courses at the Central Institute of Postgraduate Education of the state higher education institution «University of Management of Education» of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv. The author's method «The Value of Self - сreation» was utilized in the research, aimed at studying the spiritual and valuable component of the teachers' self - concept. Additionally, the unconditional self - acceptance questionnaire by J. Chamberlain and D. Haaga (2001), adapted by O. Bondarchuk, N. Pinchuk, and O. Prokopenko, was used. The survey was conducted using Google forms. The study's results highlight the importance of spiritual and value orientations in developing a mature self - concept among teachers. The study also points to the need for further scientific exploration in this area to gain a more detailed understanding of the relationship between spiritual values and the professional activities of teachers.

EMOTIONAL MANIFESTATION OF EXPRESSED BEHAVIORAL REACTIONS IN STUDENTS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF STRESS

In this article, we will look at why people react differently to stress. We will analyze the results of a number of empirical studies of individual differences in students' reactions to stress during study and outside study time. We will explore the factors that influence individual differences in the emergence of a stress response. We compare genetic, acquired, and dispositional individual differences and give examples of each of these categories to show how one or another difference affects the occurrence of stress. Traditionally, psychologists have paid much attention to how people cope with stress and how they react to stressors.
 Much of this interest is based on the general belief that some people are more prone to stress and more vulnerable than "others".
 Therefore, people are distributed within some continuum of stress resistance. It turned out that some people are prone to stress, while others rarely experience stress even under difficult conditions. This idea has attracted the interest of universities because this approach makes it possible to identify stress factors that determine the contingent with a stable psyche. In the field of education, this idea is attractive because it implies the possibility of identifying people who are prone to stress, with the help of which appropriate stress management programs can be developed. The analysis of scientific literature shows that the value of self- assessment of the complex of stress manifestations will be the higher, the worse the subject feels, the less he believes in his strength, abilities, energy, independence, the lower the assessment of his ability to control his own life and be independent [1].

Cui prodest? Why local governance came to a deadlock in Hungary

Abstract More than thirty years after Hungary’s transition to democracy and the change of territorial governance model, the time is now right to assess the outcome. This paper is primarily an assessment, concluding that the deadlock of the Hungarian local government system can be explained not only by the centralisation efforts of the governing and opposition political elites or the continuous decline of the budgetary position, but also by the indifference of local society. The fact is that the Hungarian local governments were not protected from being squeezed out of a significant part of public services, from a narrowing of their room to manoeuvre and from their authority position being weakened, by the general constitutional provisions introduced in 1990. An important proposition of this paper is that (local) society, although still more trusting of local governments than the central government according to various surveys, has not been able to become an ‘ally’ of local governments. The question rightly posed in the title of the paper is, whose interest is the local government system, who finds the values of self ‑governance important? The paper seeks (based mainly on academic literature and on its own and secondary analyses) the reasons/changes that have led to the stalemate of Hungarian local governments despite their initially strong mandate.

Authentic Assessment in Higher Education: Applying a Habermasian Framework

The pursuit of authentic assessment has challenged educators to redesign and reformulate assessment and evaluation to better meet the needs of digital-era learners. Its primary goal has been to bring more accurate representations of “real world” situations and characteristics to education through assessment. However, these moves toward authentic assessment have too often limited notions of authenticity to an external real world, which itself is often limited to the world of work. This restricted view of authenticity in assessment risks neglecting key aspects of students’ ontological and epistemological subjectivity, and their ever-changing, evolving and authentic notions of self. Authentic assessment requires a holistic approach that underscores the student as an individual within a society. This means we must strike a balance between social expectations and individual autonomy because authentic assessment that aims to replicate the world of work risks neglecting student agency, self-determination and the desire to achieve subjective authenticity. This paper’s purpose is to critically interrogate authentic assessment and analyse theoretical frameworks upon which higher education can build and implement balanced and holistic approaches to authenticity in assessment. Resting on Jurgen Habermas’ Knowledge Constitutive Interests, the authors argue for a more balanced approach to authentic assessment that incorporates human drives for objectified knowledge, communicative rationality, and emancipatory learning. After establishing the relevance of Habermas’ theoretical framework to authentic assessment, this paper examines the value of self, peer and negotiated assessment and the potential of digital tools to aid these processes.

Functional Classification Spaces according to walking speed in self-sufficient Chilean older adults: A complement to the Periodic Physical Examination.

Walking speed is related to functionality in daily activities. Preventive Medicine Examination of the Chilean older adults is a vital prevention program for Chilean community- dwelling older adults. However, this evaluation does not include speed in its battery of tests. To evaluate the functional classification spaces for threshold, reference, and categorization val-ues of self- selected and maximum walking speed applied to self- sufficient older adults. Seventy- two self- sufficient older adults participated in this observational, exploratory, and cross- sectional study. Each participant was asked to walk naturally and then at full speed for three minutes. Through a dispersion graph between self- selected walking speed (axis "x") and maximum walking speed (axis "y"), functional classification spaces were constructed according to documented values for i) thresholds of basic functionality, ii) referential for the instrumental spectrum and iii) functional categorization for "household walker" (< 0.4 meters per second, m/s), "limited community ambulator" (0.40 to 0.80 m/s), "community ambulator" (0.81 to 1.3 m/s), and "cross street safely" (> 1.3 m/s). The relative frequency (%) of older adults who meet each established quadrant was determined. The threshold was reached by 100% of the participants (basic daily activities). About 80% of the older adults have a functional classification space below the reference limit (instrumental and advanced daily activities). It was also found that 81% of women and 69% of men are "efficient in the community", and 31% of men and 14% of women reach the minimum value for "effec-tive street crossing" (advanced daily activities). The exploration of functional classification spaces according to self- selected walking speed and maximum walking speed applied to a group of self- sufficient older adults reveals that this pop-ulation is at risk of deteriorating instrumental and advanced activities of daily living.

The Value of Self-Care: “Health Enthusiasts” and Healthificated Consumption

From a common sense perspective health is an absolute value. However, even in European societies, with their well-developed institutional infrastructure of preventive healthcare, individuals need to be encouraged, or even forced, for practicing self-care. The Russian state is also interested to promote a healthy lifestyle and self-preservation behavior among the population. Nevertheless, sociological data demonstrate that Russians are more inclined to use their health than to save and increase it for the future. Sociologists give mainly structural explanations for health investments unattractiveness, while the individuals' recognition of the value of health remains outside their attention. This paper examines the deficits of an individual’s intrinsic motivation to invest in one’s health within a valuation framework, emphasising the constructed and fluid nature of the social worth of self-care in market societies. The Russian case exemplifies the local meanings behind the value of health investments in terms of gaining return from health as a capital, consumer good and personal value. An abductive analysis of 26 in-depth interviews with Russians who enjoy health investments (‘health enthusiasts’) reconstructs mindsets that make investing in one’s health attractive. Streamlined by the valuation framework, the study reveals three levels of self-care value: physical (body taming for self-maximisation); positional (the ability to achieve new health indicators through science-based self-management as a new precursor of social status); and transcendent (projecting the desired self in terms of authentic self-expression and autonomous sustainability). Empirics signify the involvement of ‘health enthusiasts’ into consumption of market products that have been marketized as “good for health”. These commodities praise the value of health, legitimize individual interest to it, ritualize health care practices and contribute to a more self-focused, autonomous, and resilient entrepreneurial self. “Health enthusiasts” begin experiencing health as an asset, an investment into vitality and personal productivity. They discover own human potential and practice self-care as a path of “returning to oneself”. The results of the study demonstrate that market driven cultivation of self-care value may produce a utilitarian approach to self among Russians. This approach increases the subjective value of self and supports preventive self-care that is in demand in Russia. At the same time, market driven individual obsession with health may increase social competition and disintegration.

Head-first into Upper Secondary Education: Finnish Young People Making Classed and Gendered Educational Choices

In this article, we analyse the narratives of Finnish young people regarding their educational choices for upper secondary education in a theoretical framework inspired by Bourdieu’s forms of capital and Skeggs’ concept of the classed value of self. Our data consist of interviews with 66 ninth-graders, produced in the Youth in Time research project. In the narratives, we identified six frames of choice between general upper secondary and vocational education and outside formal education. We also recognized that there was hesitation and various strategies that young people utilized in making their educational choices, based on their social and cultural capitals. Young people become aware of their value in the educational market through this process of making their choice. Their educational choices are complex and intertwined with gender, social class, social relations, racialization and locality.

Creating Values: the Entrepreneurial-Science Education Nexus

Values and how values are created in science education are an under-researched field, which is problematic given the importance of epistemic values to the nature of science. From a sociological perspective, values are experienced as emotionally infused ideas with the power to influence choices and actions in everyday situations such as learning through science inquiry. The present study explores the creation of value and values by building on links with entrepreneurial education that are previously explored, but not fully developed, in science education research. Using an entrepreneurial value creation pedagogy (VCP) model as a conceptual framing, this study is situated in a science inquiry project as part of a preservice teachers’ course. The study focuses on the question: How are values in science education created by learning through doing an entrepreneurially infused inquiry project? The study illustrates how preservice science teachers create values for self to produce a sense of purpose, how they create value for agency to support action taking in a science investigation, and how they create value for others. Findings illustrate a synthesis of entrepreneurial value creation practices with science inquiry and possibilities for improving understandings about how social, cultural, and epistemic values may be created in science education. Future studies should explore the interdependence between social, cultural, and epistemic values experienced by learners in naturalistic science education contexts. This could involve analysis of epistemic emotions as a constituent of epistemic values.

DEVELOPMENT OF RIDEE LEARNING MODEL (READING, INJECTING, DISCUSSING, EVALUATING, EXPOSURING) TO IMPROVE SELF REGULATED LEARNING (SRL ) AND SCIENCE LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The application of learning models that are in accordance with the characteristics of students and the characteristics of subjects that can change or improve students skills in mindsets is very rare or even non- existent. The learning model that will be developed is RIDEE. Where the RIDEE learning model comes from combining the two previous learning models into a learning model that is expected to be applied practically, effectively, and validly. Science is one of the sciences that has the characteristics of events in everyday life. In everyday life, it is necessary to increase students skills where these skills can make it easier for students to achieve learning goals, both in science lessons and in other subjects. The skill or ability is the self-regulation ability for the students themselves (Self Regulated Learning), in science learning the self- regulation ability in students is very necessary, where students will know to what extent the students inability or understanding of their own academic and non-academic abilities students, so that students are expected to have good self-regulation values to be applied in everyday life, both in the learning process and in the process of social communication in students daily lives. Thus the academic ability of the students themselves will also be able to increase, especially in science learning outcomes in junior high school. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the use of brain-based learning materials on the excretory system on students self-regulated learning skills. The method in this study is 4D, with three meetings in three different classes. The data analyzed was obtained from the value of Self Regulated Learning.

“The interpersonal is political”: Understanding the sociological ambivalence created in parent and adult offspring cohabiting relationships

AbstractObjectiveThis article considers the ambivalence generated in familial cohabitation where adult offspring have never left or have returned to live with their parents.BackgroundAmbivalence is commonly used in psychology to describe contradictory emotions at the interpersonal level.MethodA thematically analyzed ethnographic study of eight cohabitating families living in North Wales, in the United Kingdom, explored both generations' perspectives on cohabitation.ResultsAlthough our study found evidence of ambivalence at the interpersonal level, we suggest that this was drawn from a structural contradiction, namely, that although cohabitation was the result of structural issues, such as graduate underemployment and the affordable housing crisis, societal values labeled it the personal consequence of a failed adulthood. This caused these families feelings of shame and guilt that created a barrier blocking the interpersonal negotiations needed to develop more positive living arrangements and family roles. The generational contradictions in values of self, family, and society produced irreconcilable personal and political tensions.ConclusionThis study concludes that two changes are needed to better negotiate ambivalence in family cohabitation. First, the social narrative that responsibilizes young adults for their failure to attain financial and residential independence needs to be challenged. Second, to address current structural contradictions, the social contract on the provision for family social care needs political renegotiation.ImplicationsBuilding on the concept of sociological ambivalence, this article suggests that studies of ambivalence need to take a critical perspective that questions the structural forces that produce and constrain interpersonal familial relationships.

The Expected Values of Self- and Mutual Impedances of Overhead Lines and Impacts of on Sags and Phase Conductor Imbalances: Part 2

This paper presents a method that finds the expected values of self- and mutual impedances of overhead lines with the uncertainties such as the ground resistivity, conductor characteristics, and transmission line structures. For this purpose, this study designs a stochastic random sampling method that removes the uncertainties. A finite element analysis method that includes a single logarithmic closed-form solution to Carson’s improper integral is adopted. The impact of an increase in sags and an imbalance in phase conductors on self- and mutual impedances is examined. As a result, the expected values of the self- and mutual impedances of an overhead line are evaluated. It is also shown that as the sag ratio increases, the self- and mutual impedances decrease.

The Memoir of Florence Garstang (1870–1941): Honour, Injustice, and Gendered Sacrifice in an Upwardly Mobile Blackburn Family

This article introduces the previously unexamined Blackburn memoir of Florence Garstang (1870-1941). It contributes to women’s history by providing her response to injustices in the Blackburn cotton riots and to a gendered injustice that marked her own life. It reveals a creative, precariously upwardly-mobile Blackburn family, whose sons had unusually successful careers, whilst Florence became women’s editor on the Blackburn Standard. It shows her close relationship with her father, Dr Walter Garstang (1832-1899), rooted in values of self- and mutual improvement, continual learning, pride in local traditions and pleasure in books and the local newspaper culture. The article builds on Andrew Hobbs’ work by providing a previously unknown case study of a female participant in Blackburn newspaper culture. Dr Garstang’s work as a Blackburn Poor Law medical officer and in private practice is discussed as the context in which he asked Florence to sacrifice her Oxford dream.

Self-esteem, Self-efficacy and Academic performance among Adolescents

Background: Adolescence is one of the vital stages of human development. This key stage is associated with developing new aptitude, talents, skills, self-confidence, and performances while they encounter enormous physical, cognitive, social, and psychological changes. During this transition, value for self and confidence in self enhance better academic performance, which is foundational for career choice among adolescents. Thus, academic performance plays a crucial role in providing prospective direction to adolescents. Aim: The present study aimed at finding the level of difference in self-esteem, self-efficacy, and academic performance among adolescents as well as to determine the relationship between the three variables. Methods: This research is ex-post facto in nature. The sample comprised of 355 adolescents (13-16 years), including 175 females and 180 males, selected conveniently from English medium schools. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were used to assess self-esteem and self-efficacy, respectively. Results: T-test and ANOVA test results showed a significant difference in self-esteem (p<0.05), self-efficacy (p<0.05), and academic performance (p<0.01) with respect to gender and significant difference in self-esteem (p<0.05) with respect to the family income. A significant positive relationship (p<0.01) was found between self-esteem, self-efficacy, and academic performance among adolescents. Conclusion: Females are better at self-esteem, self-efficacy, and academic performance. Family income influences self-esteem. Self-esteem and self-efficacy are positively related to academic performance.

Policy implementation of working culture development in Ministry of Religious Affairs

Indonesia as a religious state has the Ministry of Religious Affairs who has a vision and mission in realizing the Indonesian communities are obedient, harmonious, intellectually intelligent, emotional and spiritual as well as prosperous born inner. However, ironically, the ministry that should be the front guard of this morality, in 2012 was the ministry with the lowest perception index version of Corruption Eradication Commission known as KPK, and in 2014 the only ministry with the value of self under the standard of Corruption Eradication Commission known as KPK. Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reformhas published a regulation No. 39 in 2012 on the guidelines for the development of work culture for ministries and institutions in 2012. This research aims to identify and analyze the policy implementation of working culture development of based on regulation Number 39 in 2012 in the Ministry of Religious Affairs and identify factors affecting the implementation of development policy of The Ministry of Religious Affairs. This research is a qualitative study using descriptive analytical techniques. The findings in this study, the Ministry of Religious Affairs have not developed a structured, comprehensive and sustainable work culture.

Acute stress alters neural patterns of value representation for others

Acute stress is often evoked during social interactions, by feelings of threat or negative evaluation by other people. We also constantly interact with others while under stress – in the workplace or in private alike. However, it is not clear how stress affects social interactions. For one, individuals could become more selfish and focused on their own goals. On the other hand, individuals might also become more focused on affiliating with potential social partners, in order to secure their support. There is, indeed, accumulating behavioral evidence that prosocial behaviors increase rather than decrease under stress. Here, we tested the underlying brain processes of such findings, by assessing the effects of stress on the neural representations of (monetary) value for self and other. Participants (N ​= ​30; male, 18–40 years) played a gambling task for themselves and for another participant while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Each participant played the gambling task twice: once immediately following acute stress induction, and once in a control session. We compared neural patterns of value representation in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and striatum using representational similarity analysis (RSA). We found that under stress, dmPFC and striatum showed higher dissimilarity between neural patterns underlying high and low value for the other. Dissimilarity of neural patterns underlying high and low value for the self was unaffected by stress. These findings suggest that participants track the magnitude of possible rewards for others more under stress, suggesting increased prosocial orientation.

Assessment of self- and cross-absorbed SAF values for HDRK-man using Geant4 code: internal photon and electron emitters

The ultimate need to account for the partial amount of energy deposited in target tissue/organ resulting from internal inhalation, ingestion, and injection intakes of radionuclides, defined by the Medical Internal Radiation Dosimetry committee as the specific absorbed fraction (SAF), has become obvious. In this study, we assessed the SAF values for self- and cross-absorption, which were calculated for a uniform distribution of monoenergetic photon and electron emitters with energies ranging from 15 keV to 3 MeV. The voxelized human phantom “High-Definition Reference Korean-man” (HDRK-man), which was implemented using the Monte Carlo simulation code Geant4 (version 10.1), was used for several combinations of target–source organs. The results were compared to those of the International Commission on Radiological Protection Reference (ICRP133) and Zubal phantoms. It was found that the SAF values of the three models have a similar trend. However, the SAF values for the HDRK-man phantom were higher than those of the other two models, with a relatively good agreement with those for the ICRP133 phantom (differences of 13.9 ± 2.8 and 12.1 ± 3.2 for photon and electron emitters, respectively). To analyze the differences in SAF values, we calculated the chord length distributions (CLDs) for selected target–source combinations. The parameters of organ mass (or volume) and CLDs, in addition to the adopted computational procedures, mainly cause such discrepancies. For realistic radionuclide emission spectra, an overall overestimation was observed when computing the S values for three radiopharmaceuticals studied (I-131, In-111, and Lu-177) and for liver–spleen intra- and inter-organ absorption when compared with published data. The new arrangement of S and SAF values is expected to add value for multidisciplinary research and clinical communities.
