A Study on Some Aspects of Distance Learning for Physiotherapy Students during a Pandemic

Author(s): Nezabravka Gencheva,Aleksandra Gencheva-Vassileva / Language(s): English Issue: 7s/2020

During the COVID 19 Pandemic all Bulgarian universities offered different platforms for distance learning and gave the possibility to all teachers to choose which technology to use The aim of the study is to analyze the process of distance learning of two Physiotherapy courses using the possibilities of Facebook and Viber groups with their strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We used the inquiry method. The online questionnaires were designed using Google platform. We identified the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and heats of this method of e-learning through a SWOT analysis. Using Facebook and Viber groups gives the opportunity to adapt faster and flexible to the new learning conditions and to achieve good study results. Regardless of the students' satisfaction with the remote used technologies, the specific nature of Physiotherapy needs practical learning and working with patients which could not be achieved by distance learning.

A systematic review of signaling in delayed timeout in school settings with children who have emotional difficulties

Author(s): Elissa H. Appling,Cheryl A. Young-Pelton / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

A Systematic Review (SR) to examined the efficacy of delayed punishment as it has been a naturally occurring event in school discipline procedures (e.g., withhold recess until work is completed, a fight leads to suspension, etc.). A gap in relevant literature was discovered on the use of delayed punishment and signals in delayed timeout. Teachers who implemented delayed timeout reported it to be an ineffective procedure due to their own failure to use signals. Boolean searches were used with relevant terms and regrouped and searched within databases and other sources. The PRISMA Statement followed with results that were also reported in a PRISMA flow diagram. Results supported delayed timeout as an effective technique for reducing disruptive and aggressive problem behaviors in school settings such as the playground and classroom settings. The authors conclude that delayed timeout when implemented correctly, with signaling, can effectively reduce disruptive behavior and achieve inclusion.

A továbbképzések hatása a pedagógusok szemléletére

Author(s): Ilona Liskó / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2008

Ilona Liskó analyzed the data from a research project conducted between 2006–2007 which examined the eﬀects of teacher trainings in the Integration Scheme. The Integration Scheme is intended to promote the integrated education of socially disadvantaged and Roma children and the improvement of the institutions that educate them. Throughout the research work the background of the trainees, the evaluation and the outcome of the trainings were examined. The study focuses on the impact of the trainings on the attitudes of the teachers trained. The data showed that the eﬀectiveness of the trainings was strongly inﬂuenced by the attitudes of the trainees. The trainings had a positive eﬀect on the attitudes of the teachers trained but the eﬀect was rather small. The majority of the teachers did not believe that students’ skills could be improved neither before nor after the training, and they had serious doubts about whether a successful integration between schools would be possible at all.

Ability, Examination and Inclusive Education: Stretching the Hard Lines of the Educational System

Author(s): Halis Sakız / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The aim of this paper is to delve into the debate about the epistemological nature of ability and examination, which we have been continuously exposed to, but rarely scrutinized. In the paper, I refer to Turkey as a case and argue that the dominance of ability-based paradigm and its associated assessment and placement systems have created a new educational order which categorizes schools and students based on how they perform at a single point in time. What is more, I critically evaluate the construction of “abilities” and “disabilities” through the means employed in the education system, followed by a discussion of the examination culture as a product of an ability-based system. Finally, I propose inclusive education as a powerful means of transforming the education system to an equitable and educationally effective one in which all students are welcomed and provided with education of good quality that both enriches childhood and maximizes chances of leading a fulfilled adult life.

ABOUT ON-LINE LEARNING AND TEACHING: POINTS OF VIEW, ANALYSIS, OBSERVATIONS

Author(s): Mihaela SUDITU / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

The pandemic and the state of emergency instituted last spring took our country by surprise, forcing it to cope with this rapid adaptation from an educational perspective as well. Without a previously thought-out strategy, schools closed and therefore the education process turned to the online for solutions. The impact has led to challenges for both teachers and pupils/ students. Our microstudy captures - through a focus group based on a guided interview and a checklist – students’ perception on going through this unfamiliar situation; it also captures the difficulties of adapting to the technology-based education system, while emphasizing the need to rethink education through digitization and access to resources, technology, applications and tools to which pedagogical significance can be attributed.

About the Syntactic Structure of Bulgarian Proverbs and English Proverbial Parallels to Them

Author(s): Nadezhda Ershova / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

The article considers the most frequent sentence structures of Bulgarian proverbial parallels to Russian proverbs included into G. L. Permyakov’s paremiological minimum. The aim of the study is to classify the syntactic structures of the Bulgarian proverbs in comparison with the structures of the English proverbial parallels. The research has been based on the ﬁndings of a paremiological sociolinguistic experiment conducted by Professor M. Yu. Kotova of St. Petersburg State University and her paremiological group that resulted into series of publications titled “Tetradi Paremiographa” (“Handbooks of a Paremiographer”). The relevance of studying sentence structures is due to the fact that the coverage of grammatical issues, i.e. the analysis and description of the logical and syntactic structures of proverbs, is not paid sufficient attention in many languages.

Academic Success Between Disabling Hearing Loss and Hearing Students in Upper-Secondary: An Inclusive Classroom

Author(s): David A. Hernández-Ontiveros,Diego-Oswaldo Camacho-Vega / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

Academic performance between disabling hearing loss (DHL) and hearing students is unclear when considering students in the same classroom. The main objective of this study is to identify significant differences in grade by semester between DHL students who study in the same classroom supported by sign language interprets. Second, this study looks to identify what school subjects show significant differences between DHL and hearing students. N= 35 upper-secondary students from a Mexican school with an inclusive educational methodology (deaf and hearings share the same classroom supported by an interpreter) participated in the study (M = 17; SD = 2.2), n = 21 disabling hearing loss students (52% males) and n = 14 hearing students were followed during three years (six semesters). The first step was to obtain the previous grade earned in their low-secondary studies. Second, we got the overall rate by semester identifying grades by subject and comparing results between groups. Results indicated significant differences in academic performance, showing higher mastery for DHL students in the fourth and fifth semesters, particularly in computer-logical subjects and social subjects. In conclusion, this research provides evidence that supports the success of an inclusive methodology where DHL and hearing students share the same instructional design supported by a sign language interpreter. Additionally, DHL students performed better in the computer-logical subjects, an important skill daily but even more in the current COVID -19 crisis, as well as a social subject, an important factor suggested by prior evidence.

Author(s): Rachid Bessai / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This study aims to address the report of disabled children in school, a subject which has become in recent years a special concern and attracted education specialists’ attention and created an international debate related to the policy of taking in charge this category of children. Such a problem calls today to question about disabled children’s schooling in Algeria and the mechanisms of their inclusion at school. Many such questions are raised to serve the study’s objective as: do children with disabilities have access to education in our country? How can we accompany these children in school? Is their inclusion feasible after giving real hope to their parents? And what is the role of associations in this process? To respond to this series of questions, which refract well the aspect of inclusion in the Algerian actuality, we will proceed to a sociological reading of the statistics put forward by the Ministry of National Solidarity through its different structures in relation to the disabled children schooling. The aim will also be to show the state of the arts of takings such children in charge through diverse associations’ actions.

Author(s): Aleksandra Karovska Ristovska,Olivera RASHIKJ-CANEVSKA,Alma Tasevska,Rūta Bružienė,Monika Orechova,Gonçalo PAIVA DIAS,Elisabeth Brito,Henrik HAUBRO / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Learning Management System (LMS) is a type of an e-learning system is one of the main infrastructural requirements that improves access to higher education for persons with disabilities. The primary aim of the research study[1] was to explore perceptions of students with disabilities regarding the use and accessibility of learning management systems and benefits and/or barriers in e-learning. Students mainly have negative experiences while attempting to enter university web-sites/libraries/LMSs because of the inadequate adaptation to the specific needs of students with disabilities. In countries that do not have a developed LMS, the prevalent mean of communication with professors is via e-mail, in those where there is a LMS, there is not a fully accessibility of entire content and services for students with special needs. This research defined the need for creation of an accessible LMS or adjusted already existing LMS with accessibility solutions such as: a text-to-speech engine for blind students, a mode with sign language support for deaf students and a mode which supports dyslexic.

Achieving Effective Teaching of Module “Chemical Kinetics – Chemical Equilibrium” with the Aid of an Integrated Website

Author(s): A. Thysiadou / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2019

A website has been created, which seeks to bring out the ways in which is possible, a pedagogic technique, based on exploiting the Internet, to achieve the “higher” learning goal, namely the cultivating of critical thinking. It contains chapters with the theoretical material on “Chemical Kinetics-Chemical Equilibrium” and related subunits. They have the appropriate theory and examples that the student should study before proceeding with the questions to check for understanding and the proposed exercises. It addresses the students in order to help them move away from the classical method of learning from the book and on the other hand to help them experiment with the use of the computer, in order to turn the lesson more attractive to all of them. Except for the creation of the website and its structure, various online tools are presented for its implementation. The goal was for the students to understand the theoretical framework that covers the concepts of “Chemical Kinetics-Chemical Equilibrium”, to have their active participation and to maintain their interest during the teaching of the subunits undiminished.

Adalékok a Csehszlovák Köztársaság magyar nyelvű siketoktatás-történetéhez

Author(s): Kinga Horváthová,Dorottya Szepessyné Judik / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 3/2021

In this study we present the educational-historical data of the only institute for the Deaf operating in the Czechoslovak Republic, in Komárom (Komárno), between 1920 and 1938. By 1918 a unified deaf education network had been established in the territory of historical Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy where 16 institutes for the Deaf were run, covering the entire area of the country. Out of these, three were located in Upper Hungary (Felvidék): in Jolsva (Jelšava), in Körmöcbánya (Kremnica) and in Pozsony (Bratislava); in the Carpathian region, school-age deaf learners were expected in an institute for the Deaf in Ungvár (Uzhhorod). This system disintegrated with the Trianon Peace Treaty. The institutes located at Pozsony (Bratislava), Körmöc¬bánya (Kremnica), Jolsva (Jelšava) and Ungvár (Uzhhorod) became organisations lo¬cated in the Czechoslovak Republic from the former Hungarian institutes for the Deaf. A Hungarian-language, newly established school for the Deaf was run in Komárom (Komárno) between 1920 and 1938 in the territory of the Czechoslovak Republic. After the First Vienna Award, the aforementioned institute for the Deaf was moved to Losonc (Lučenec). While researching the history of the Hungarian-language Institute for the Deaf of Komárom (Komárno), it turned out that the sources referring to operation and history (statistics, archive, library, press history) are scanty, I therefore used the term addenda in the title.

ADDRESSING STUDENT IDENTITY WITHIN MARGINALIZATION INSTITUTIONS (BASED ON THE NOVELS BY JOANNE HARRIS)

Author(s): Antonina Bulyna / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The drama of school has been exploited by many literatures. Inparticular, the contemporary British writer Joanne Harris embeds thecharacters of teachers and students in her novels «Gentlemen and Players», «Different Class». In both texts events center around St. Oswald’s GrammarSchool for Boys. Schools are places where teachers and students interactand where student identity is being formed. In the family circle a person isimmediately exposed to parents’ influence. The quality of interactiondepends on acts, relationship and emotions which are significant pillars forforming healthy identities. However, the analysis of the texts reveals thatnot only school but also family contributes to marginalization of studentswhose identities consequently become deformed. The paper aims toexamine the role of institutions in marginalizing student identity and todetermine the way marginalization occurs. St. Oswald’s turns out to betoxic environment as well as the families of David Spikely and Julia Snyde,who are students of the mentioned educational establishment. In terms ofcancel culture these characters can also be considered cancelled. Marginalization within institutional processes leads to the situation whenpersons’ psychological motivations are disordered and their emotionalstability is questioned. The exploration of the characters shows howtraumatic experiences acquired in the family and within the school wallscause the lack of inner coherence which inevitably has abhorrentramifications.

Addressing the Acceptance of Students 'Studies in Other Countries in the Context of National Policies and Security Strategies

Author(s): Casen Panaitescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Access to education outside applicants' country of origin has increased in recent years for some countries, but has also created numerous barriers for others. Thus, for certain specializations, age groups have become representative. Countries with lower taxes and engineering specialties sought on the labor market have applicants from the age group 25-34 years. The other developed countries have a higher proportion of older students in MA and other postgraduate studies, including doctorate. Such countries are Australia, Germany, the Netherlands.The Participation of foreign students in the education system does not take into account the traditional view. Thus, in this paper, a non-random component was developed that uses two tools as evaluation tools: state laws where the prospective student applies and proximity to the applicant's university.
