Textbook is one of the “three teachings”, and it is an important basis and carrier of teaching. The new form of textbooks is a product of the intelligent age and an important embodiment of the modernization of teaching materials. In the context of the intelligent era, the development of new forms textbooks is an important content of academic concern. We found that there are not many studies on new forms of international Chinese textbooks, and most of the textbooks have not yet entered the stage of integrated construction. The three-dimensional textbooks such as Great Wall Chinese are still an exception. In this regard, we believe that it is necessary to take the creation of three-dimensional teaching materials as the course, closely follow Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education, and multi-party construction teams go hand in hand to implement the dynamic update of international Chinese teaching materials resources.

This paper examines the extent to which students' evaluations of university teaching and classroom dynamics contribute to overall satisfaction with their university experience. Data were collected from 1453 graduates of the University of Alberta who completed questionnaires follow- ing the 1993 spring Convocation. A multi-item index measuring students' evaluations of university teaching and classroom experiences was employed as the central predictor in a multiple regression analysis of overall satisfaction with the university experience. Positive perceptions of teaching had a strong impact on satisfaction, controlling on gender, age, faculty of enrollment, GPA, prior postsecondary experience, assessments of skill development, satisfaction with university learning-related resources, and several other control variables. The findings highlight the continued importance of efforts to encourage good teaching in universities.

Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences 16, no. 6 (December 31, 2021): 3033–47. http://dx.doi.org/10.18844/cjes.v16i6.6494.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to improve the competence of teachers in teaching multi-literacy through a training programme based on the Read–Answer–Discuss–Explain–Create (RADEC) learning model. This descriptive qualitative study was conducted in a private primary school in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The participants included were a teacher and 29 students (17 male and 12 female students, with an average age of 11 years). Documentations, observations and interviews were used as data collection. The data were analysed quantitatively and through the Rasch model. The results show that mentoring during the implementation of the RADEC model can increase teachers’ knowledge of multi-literacy learning and teachers’ skills in planning and implementing the RADEC model. It can be concluded that the RADEC learning model contributes to a positive change in student learning, promotes 21st-century skills and includes multi-literacy skills. Thus, trainers can use the RADEC learning model to enhance teachers’ ability in teaching multi-literacy.
Keywords: Multi-literacy, RADEC model, teachers’ competence

Full textAbstract:
Multi-age classrooms are student-centred classrooms. Flipped classroom teaching promotes active learning. In the research reported on here, we analysed the characteristics of flipped classroom teaching in the context of multigrade rural schools. Two main questions were raised: whether the characteristics of rural multigrade classrooms require adapting the flipped classroom method, and whether there is a particular framework for applying this method in such classrooms. A questionnaire was administered to and interviews held with teachers who used flipped classroom in their multigrade classrooms. The data show a typology of flipped classroom strategies adapted to multigrade classrooms. It is also concluded that applying flipped classroom in multi-grade classrooms requires significant changes in the instructional design and classroom learning phase. No changes were detected during the previous phase of individual work outside the classroom. A regular framework for the application of the flipped classroom method in multigrade rural schools could not be determined due to the heterogeneity of this kind of class.

Directing at the characteristics of the basic chemistry, the paper discusses the characteristics of the “Inorganic chemistry”, “organic chemistry”, “physical chemistry” and “analytical chemistry”, and points out that application of multimedia in the basic chemistry is in line with student’s learning and cognitive rules. And multimedia teaching can greatly improve the teaching efficiency, extend the class size and optimize the teaching effect, which is an important way to teaching reform of course in the Information Age. Then it analyzes the unique role played in teaching by media. While, if multimedia technology is not rationally used in this field, the results will be counterproductive. We try to display the advantages of multi-media teaching and strive to overcome its fault in the teaching process. We also do some discussion on the effects of improving the teaching continuously.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: Singapore is a multi-religious society where the state is secular, and different religions coexist. Values are taught at home and in schools from young. The government has a set of national values that underpin the Character and Citizenship Education which begin from primary education. However, in early childhood education, the national frameworks do not explicitly articulate the values that should be cultivated in children below six years of age up till November 2022, when the revised Nurturing Early Learners Framework is launched and explicate values that should be cultivated at preschool level. Against this diverse sociocultural context, this paper seeks to unpack these values and find out current centre practices on the ground.
Method: This paper uses data of a qualitative study where purposeful sampling is used to select research sites and participants according to the various types of operators in the early childhood education landscape. Semi-structured interviews are conducted for data collection and analysed using thematic analysis. The data presented in this paper offers insights to the perspectives of centre leaders who lead and manage centres run by different operator types in a diverse early childhood education landscape.
Results: The findings reveal that centre leaders’ interpretations of the values are generally aligned with the framework’s descriptors and uncover the complexity of values as overlaps across values. The study provides insights to current centre practices on values education.
Conclusion: The study indicates alignment between leaders’ definitions and understanding of values espoused in the NEL framework and that values education does take place across early childhood development centre types. With the four values explicated for the early childhood education landscape, there is greater clarity on the values that should be cultivated in young children from young.

Full textAbstract:
In the digital age, the management of images can be very time consuming when there are several digital image acquisition systems involved. For simplicity in this article, databases have been categorized as active or passive. Active databases are those where the categorization of the image is done during the image acquisition. Passive databases by this definition use saved images that are then categorized after image acquisition. The databases can be further separated based on whether they are multi-platform where they usually use a browser of some sort or Java script, or are specific to a certain platform such that no browser is involved. Some databases allow user defined fields, and some do not. Many of the image database software packages were made for categorizing images after they were collected i.e. passive, and developed for photography, catalogues, newspapers, etc. which do not necessarily cater to the needs in microscopy.

This paper aimed to provide logical reasons for parents and teachers about the importance of teaching tolerance from early age. This paper explained the types of tolerance that should be trained such as religious tolerance, tolerance of multi-ethnicity, multiracial, cultural and gender differences. Literature review was used in explaining theoretical studies, and discussion. Teaching an attitude of tolerance from an early age will be the root for children in their social life. Teaching it from an early age can create children who are able to respect others and do not distinguish based on what they see in the family or community environment. Parents and family members are the main facilitators for children to cultivate an attitude of tolerance. They are required to teach children the importance of tolerance by providing positive examples. Parents are required to teach tolerance starting from the family environment to the wider community. Meanwhile, the teacher can teach from the social environment to fellow students at school. It can be concluded that the role of parents and teachers here is very important in the inculcation of attitude and tolerance in early childhood.

Abstract This case study investigates the effects of a multi-element treatment approach to teaching the social-communicative skill of self-initiating to a young child with autism. The participant, James, was a 6-year-old boy diagnosed with autism attending a fully integrated kindergarten classroom. He demonstrated age-appropriate language and non-verbal performance skills; however, teachers reported that he demonstrated difficulty socially interacting with peers. The treatment package targeted use of three types of self-initiations (greeting/attention-getting, commenting, and requesting information). The treatment incorporated individual, dyad, and small-group instruction, and use of untrained peers and highly preferred activities. Following treatment, James demonstrated an increase in all types of self-initiations with peers. Results are discussed with regard to clinical application within the natural environment.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with some new challenges that foreign language (FL) teachers face in the classroom while teaching the students of Generation Z. It also deals with edutainment as one of the methods in coping with those challenges. Nowadays Generation Z is the only generation of “digital natives” who have used digital technology since a very young age and are comfortable with the Internet and social media. These students like to experiment in learning, prefer visual learning, are good team players, they tend to have short attention spans, and prefer edutainment. Generation Z students appreciate learning if they consider it interactive with games and fun activities incorporated into the FL and curriculum. FL teachers need to use more technology in their teaching strategies. Teachers need to update their teaching strategies. They need to adopt more technology-based tasks, including visual content and to give students opportunities to feedback. It’s a good idea to start a class blog and think of reasons how students can use the class blog. Generation Z are multi-taskers so FL teacher can incorporate pictures, sounds, video into all the teaching activities. Students can also have listening, writing and speaking activities at the same time. FL teacher can also use such applications and resources as Kahoot!, Socrative, Pole Everywhere, Quizlet, YouTube, Instagram etc.

The evolutionary biologist W. D. Hamilton (Hamilton 1966 J. Theor. Biol. 12 , 12–45. ( doi:10.1016/0022-5193(66)90184-6 )) famously showed that the force of natural selection declines with age, and reaches zero by the age of reproductive cessation. However, in social species, the transfer of fitness-enhancing resources by postreproductive adults increases the value of survival to late ages. While most research has focused on intergenerational food transfers in social animals, here we consider the potential fitness benefits of information transfer, and investigate the ecological contexts where pedagogy is likely to occur. Although the evolution of teaching is an important topic in behavioural biology and in studies of human cultural evolution, few formal models of teaching exist. Here, we present a modelling framework for predicting the timing of both information transfer and learning across the life course, and find that under a broad range of conditions, optimal patterns of information transfer in a skills-intensive ecology often involve postreproductive aged teachers. We explore several implications among human subsistence populations, evaluating the cost of hunting pedagogy and the relationship between activity skill complexity and the timing of pedagogy for several subsistence activities. Long lifespan and extended juvenility that characterize the human life history likely evolved in the context of a skills-intensive ecological niche with multi-stage pedagogy and multigenerational cooperation. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Life history and learning: how childhood, caregiving and old age shape cognition and culture in humans and other animals’.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract By studying the variables of age, bilingualism, identity, and emotions on second language learning/teaching, the author identifies methods likely to optimize both students’ second language acquisition (SLA) and the teachers’ approaches. The pertinent conclusion is that both teaching and acquisition of English as a second or third foreign language are shaped by multiple concomitant factors including the students’ age, their cultural identity, emotions, as well as their being bilingual or multi-lingual. Especially novel and illustrative for the author’s contribution to the field is the survey of monolingual versus bilingual students in higher education institutions from Transylvania, the latter coming from mixed Romanian-Hungarian families. Given these students’ cognitive development and experience with a wider range of sounds, i.e. metalinguistic awareness and communicative skills, they tend to outperform their monolingual peers in terms of cognitive flexibility, phonetic sensitivity, metalinguistic awareness and field independence - they generate larger structures which also include incorrect sentences, but which allows them to progress faster than monolinguals.

Objectives: The objectives of this work were to clearly determine the frequency and nature of the violence, to identify the main risk factors, to identify the impact of this violence on the health of the victims and finally to suggest a course of actions which could bring about solutions. Material and methods: A descriptive study of violence in the teaching establishments in the Department of Bambey, (Region of Diourbel, in the western central part of Senegal), conducted between December 2014 and June 2015 with a self-filling survey. The population studied was made up of school children, students, teachers and support staff of the different teaching establishments at middle school, secondary school and higher education. The information gathered is analyzed in Epi info 2000, version 3.3.2. Results: The average age of the population studied was 24.12 years with the youngest being 13 and the oldest 57 years of age. The sample gathered was 71% male and 29% female. All the parties of teaching establishments are represented with the majority of respondents being students (60%). Verbal aggression accounted for 53.48% of the incidents recorded. The aggressors in 98.56% of the cases either studied or worked in the teaching establishment concerned. Conclusion: In Senegal, there are insufficient records of violence in teaching establishments. This fact drew our interest to this multi-faceted issue and allowed us to discover the profile of these victims of violence. To this effect, preventive measures need to be put in place in the teaching establishments, notably the setting up a working group composed of the different actors of the institutions.

The paper discusses the issues of teaching nationality languages of Russia to preschool children, taking the Udmurt language and culture as an example. The relevance of the study is dermined by the scientific data according to which ethnic stereotypes in behaviour are formed most intensively in preschool age. Getting acquainted with new cultures and languages is particularly important for preschool education in multinational regions as it prevents the development of ethnocentric personalities. The paper aimed at a detailed analysis of the didactic and substantive content of the educational programme “Zarni bugor” (“Golden ball”) (hereinafter referred as the Programme) with the elements of teaching the Udmurt language to children from 4 to 7; the Programme is to be realised within three years in the Russian group of kindergarten № 5 in the town of Agryz, Republic of Tatarstan. The novelty of the Programme lies in introducing the Udmurt language (along with Tatar and Russian) into the educational process of the kindergarten. The research methods are theoretical (the study of academic literature on the problems of intercultural education in a multi-ethnic region) and empirical (observation and behavioral analysis of preschoolers). The system of exercises included into the Programme, its content, the forms and methods of teaching preschoolers present a consistant didactic material for teaching the Udmurt language and culture in this age group. The programme is expected to provide a high level of intercultural competence corresponding to the age of children, it is supposed to arouse their interest in the Udmurt language and culture, make them open for perception of other cultures.

Background: Ear, nose and throat (ENT) emergencies are common in the north of Ghana; however, there are no published reports. We conducted a retrospective study of ENT emergencies at the ENT Unit of the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH).Methods: This was a four-year review of patients admitted for emergency care at the ENT Unit of the Tamale Teaching Hospital between January 2013 and December 2016. Analyzed parameters included age, sex, diagnosis and outcome of treatment.Results: A total of 390 patients were admitted for ENT emergency treatment during this period. Thirty-eight patients were excluded on account of incomplete information with 352 patients included in the final analysis. The sex distributions of patients were 209 males and 143 females with a male to female ratio of 1.46:1. The age range was 6 months to 81 years with a mean age of 27.2 ± 21.2 (median age of 25.5) years. Peak age incidence was in 0-10 age group. The most common indications for ENT emergency admissions were maxillofacial injuries (22.7%), foreign body ingestion (17.9%), deep neck (multi-)space abscesses (14.5%) and upper airway obstruction (8.2%). Fifteen patients (4.7%) admitted for emergency care died.Conclusion: The most common indications for ENT emergency admissions from our study were throat related conditions and maxillofacial injuries that were treated successfully in 89.4% cases.

This article describes one teacher's reflections on her efforts to resolve the dilemmas and ambiguities presented to her by the competing values of her school system and her own values as a teacher in a multi-age primary class. As a participant observer in her classroom over the course of one school year, the author examined how she addressed the moral ambiguities and dilemmas of the competing demands. These demands were exemplified in the way she taught mathematics and language arts lessons. The differences in the role she played in each lesson were subtle, but indicative of different values and beliefs about teaching and learning and, importantly, came to be seen by her as reflecting a moral stance. By reflecting upon the moral nature of the differences as they emerged, she re-examined her fundamental beliefs and values about teaching.

Abstract Objectives The perceptions maintained by the teaching profession have a plausible influence on the effectiveness of online teaching practices, but they have not been well comprehended in many institutions in Pakistan. This study is the first to demonstrate how different academic disciplines address the challenges and opportunities regarding online teaching during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and whether there exists a strong correlation between respondents' attitudes and their field of discipline. Materials and Methods A multi-centric cross-sectional survey was conducted online, and data gathered from the online survey were analyzed using SPSS version 16, demographic and categorical data were analyzed in frequencies and percentages. A relationship between the attitudes of teachers with their areas of discipline and a difference in response between genders and age groups were analyzed using a chi-square test. Results The findings of our study provide valuable understandings that most of the higher education faculty felt positively (64.1%) regarding the online mode of teaching. However, their perceived attitudes have a significant influence on the nature of their academic discipline. Conclusion These findings provide relevant suggestions to the core aspects of the use of the e-learning system during the COVID-19 pandemic to foster positive teaching experiences. The administrations and institutions can use it to identify the e-learning constraints within multiple fields of profession and help instructors generate quality materials that will reshape the framework of online education and preserve the practice of blended teaching even after the pandemic.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The present research aimed to test an Amharic version of the multi-dimensional Work Task Motivation Scale for Teachers (WTMST), which measures the five pillars of university instructors’ motivation toward teaching and student evaluation tasks based on self-determination theory (SDT). Therefore, the WTMST offers the first instrument to measure all five motivational elements, and today it is one of the most applicable instruments to assess teachers’ motivation. An Amharic version of the WTMST for teaching and student evaluation tasks was adopted and assessed in large-scale data (N=1,117). Our findings demonstrate excellent reliability and construct validity (convergent, discriminant, divergent and factorial). Besides, the results of the model comparisons provided that out of the four theoretically competing models (single-order factor, correlated factor, higher-order factor and bi-factor models), the bi-factor model was the most-fitted one used for measurement invariance across various groups. Results also suggest that the factor structure of the WTMST for both teaching and student evaluation tasks demonstrate consistency across gender (men, women), university types (research, applied, and general university), age and experience in teaching. Therefore, the WTMST for teaching and student evaluation tasks may be valid in Ethiopian higher education settings.</p>

In the context of teaching English as a foreign language in Kazakhstan, there are several problems that students come across: Lack of language environment, lack of motivation and interest, age-related features in groups, language barrier, lack of practice, and interference. This paper reports on an investigation of information and communication technologies (ICT) and specifically focuses on the technology of digital education resources (DER) in classroom language teaching. In 2014, DER was adapted and further developed by Kazakhstani pedagogies for teaching school subjects. The use of ICT and DER are strongly encouraged in recent Kazakhstani and European methodological literature. We take into consideration the possibilities of experiment conduction where DER is used in teaching English speaking in the context of the active case-study method. The advantages of case-study method are considered in European studies as it promotes the process of language interaction and solving case problems both individually and in sub-groups. The students with native Kazakh and Russian languages from secondary schools in Astana took part in these experimental studies. The investigation was multi-methodological, combining classroom teaching experience, cases for students’ oral language practice, focus groups and questionnaires. Analyses revealed the effectiveness of proposed approach of teaching English as foreign language and combining the use of the case-study method and DER.Keywords: ICT; DER; case study;

Abstract We’ve employed a multi-pronged approach to connecting our AFU initiatives, which promote age inclusivity, to our university’s DEI efforts. First, we asked our DEI office if they would collaborate. They agreed to link our AFU webpage to the DEI webpage and supported Ageism First Aid training for faculty and staff. Second, we participated in equity, justice, and inclusion (EJI) efforts on campus by ensuring that gerontology courses qualified for the EJI designation. This helps expand aging education across the curriculum as all students must take one EJI designated course. We also volunteered to speak about ageism to the first cohort of John Lewis Institute Scholars. Third, we partnered with our Center for Teaching and Innovation to offer programming on age inclusivity and generational diversity in the classroom. Taken together, these efforts have helped us to expand our reach and ensure that age is part of DEI conversations on our campus.

Because of the current scenario of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic in Brazil, whose vaccination campaign is in the initial stage, government authorities have pointed out towards the complete reopening of the economy. And recently for the in-personal return of classroom teaching in schools. Given the family relationship, one of the questions that remained without an answer is: What are the consequences of the schools reopening on the dissemination of COVID-19? The purpose of this work is to analyze a variant of the compartmental SIRD (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered, social distancing) model within a structured interacting age population representing six age groups from the basic education age to the elders. We present a complete analysis of the well-posedness of the proposed mathematical model. Moreover, we discuss distinct disease spreading scenarios based on observations of the mathematical behavior of the proposed dynamics. We also present a result of existence for the stationary points in terms of the parameters of the model and the number of infected age groups. Finally, we present different numerical simulations of predicted scenarios by the model. Those numerical realizations collaborate with the conclusion that an early school reopening - that implies the departure of the youngster from social isolation - causes the infection curve to grow considerably, even for other age groups.

The teacher's attitude towards the teaching process and communication skills is of particular importance and plays a crucial role in today’s rapidly changing world. It has to go together, raising consciousness and awareness of individuals on study environment issues and ensuring that they contribute to solutions of learning problems. The research was conducted with 405 prospective professionals from the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Ecology, Aleksandras Stulginskis University. An interactive questionnaire ‘Study subject in student’s eyes’ (SSSE) developed at Aleksandras Stulginskis University (2014–2017) was used as the data collection tool. This article analyses the teachers’ pedagogical work from the students’ point of view. The multi-variate analysis and regression tree model were used in the interpretation of results. The results confirmed the hypothesis that hard working students better evaluate teachers’ professional skills. It seems that elder course students with age have higher expectations from the teaching environment. Keywords:

This qualitative study examines multiple collaborative art experiences across ages and classrooms during two years at a suburban public school in one of the largest school districts in the United States. Students in two middle-school elective art courses engaged in contemporary art education projects to strengthen visual and verbal communication skills as they partnered with younger peers in primary grades, including the following activities: collaborative earthworks, toy designs and mixed-up animal sculptures. These multi-age socially-constructive art experiences provided students with opportunities to build community across campus while interacting with each other and the artwork co-created. Observations and noted responses via reflection from students indicated positive impact on both communication and collaboration through bidirectional teaching and learning, with students in each age group requesting more opportunities for cross-grade collaborative experiences.

Abstract The global age-friendly cities and communities (AFCC) movement has inspired leaders across the public, private, and academic sectors to re-imagine how environments can better support long and healthy lives. There is growing recognition, however, of structural and other constraints that impede the translation of AFCC aspirations into systematic, comprehensive, impactful, and sustainable action. This paper will describe the importance of researchers’ engagement in AFCC praxis to better support the movement toward structural change for aging equity and healthy aging. The paper will present a case example of academic researchers’ long-standing involvement in collaborative efforts toward the development and sustainability of age-friendly community initiatives in New Jersey. The case will emphasize the importance of creating synergies across research, teaching, and service activities; cultivating coordinated AFCC efforts across the mico, meso, and macro levels; and developing sustainable structures for deliberate inter-organizational and multi-sectoral partnerships toward short- and long-term goals.

Education, which is based on the integration of culture, is a key part of the learning process. The teaching material will always be part of the success of the teaching and learning process. School as an educational institution or institution is responsible for instilling multicultural education in students from an early age, which will give birth to a multi-cultural generation, so that the concept of multicultural education is very much in line with that applied in the world of education in Indonesia. The current study therefore looked at culture as a measuring instrument for the application of multiculturalism, and further explained the existence of Indonesian culture in Arabic teaching materials for grade VIII at junior high school. The method used in this research is qualitatively descriptive through the use of library research and content analysis. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the integration of Indonesian culture in Arabic textbooks at junior high school. It also seeks to look at the values of cultural diversity that are embedded in students' attitudes towards multi-cultural education, such as respect for tolerance, fairness, democracy and respect for differences. The results of this study have placed a great deal of emphasis on the achievement of cultural competence, such as the integration of multicultural educational values at the visual level, images, people's names, places, and so on. However, the placement of cultural values that are substantive does not have enough place in the Arabic textbook.

Full textAbstract:
The closures of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) due to the Covid-19 pandemic meant that face to face classes had to be put on hold. However, the growth in information and communication technologies (ICT) made it possible for HEIs to continue with their core activities remotely, primarily using learning management systems (LMSs). The overuse of LMS at the selected HEI resulted in the former’s collapse. The consequence was that management of the institution advised lecturers to use multi-modal emergency remote teaching (ERT) to save the academic year. Lecturers adopted a variety of platforms and approaches, largely depending on their preferences. This study identified the ICT platforms and approaches used by lecturers during remote teaching as well as estimating the readiness of students for emergency remote learning. Readiness was established with the use of the Technology Readiness Index 2.0 (TRI2.0) of the Technology Readiness Model. In addition, the effects of age, gender and level of study on technology readiness were estimated. A self-administered questionnaire was shared with senior students within the accounting department of the selected HEI. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data collected from 243 respondents. The study found that Microsoft teams was the commonly used platform whilst pre-recorded lectures and live classes were the popular approaches used. In terms of technology readiness, the study found that students were not ready as indicated by a low TRI 2.0 of 2.8. Age and study level had a positive effect on technology readiness. To provide the best possible learning experiences to students, lecturers need to understand what worked, what did not and why. The results of this study provide invaluable information and lay a foundation for successful future e-learning projects.

Objective: Morphometry of frontal sinuses has been studied extensively in many countries. However, these findings cannot be generalized due to genetic and environmental factors affecting the skeletal structure. The main aim of this study was to morphometrically analyze the frontal sinuses in patients who underwent non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) skull imaging at Teaching Hospital Peradeniya and to assess its association with age and sex. Methods: This retrospective study included 300 NCCT skull images obtained by a multi-slice computed tomography(MSCT) scanner at the Teaching Hospital Peradeniya. This age- and sex-matched sample was selected using consecutive sampling and consists of seven age groups (20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70–79, and 80–89). Right and left frontal sinus values (length, height, width of each sinus, and total width) were measured using the RadiaAnt DICOM Viewer 2020.2.3 software, and age and sex were obtained from the CT images. The association among the variables was analyzed using the t-test and binary logistic regression model. Results: In our study sample, 59% ( n = 177) were male and the mean age was 57.94 years. The means of left side sinus values were larger than right sinus values, which was statistically significant. A statistically significant association was seen between frontal sinus parameters and sex; those of males were higher than that of females. No significant association between the sinus size and age was observed. Conclusion: Morphometric analysis of frontal sinuses using NCCT images is useful for the sex differentiation of unknown bodies for medico-legal purposes. Furthermore, the mean sinus values specific to the current study population will also be helpful in ethnic differentiation.

Full textAbstract:
Teachers’ autonomy support (AS) in physical education (PE) has positive effects on students’ affective and behavioral outcomes in PE. Even though the existence of three different dimensions of AS, namely cognitive, organizational and procedural AS has been suggested in educational settings, there is a lack of multidimensional instruments for the assessment of autonomy-supportive teaching in PE. The aim of this study was to validate the German Multi-Dimensional Perceived Autonomy Support Scale for Physical Education (MD-PASS-PE). The sample comprised 1030 students of grades 6 through 10. Internal consistency was used to test the reliability of the assumed subscales. Factorial validity and measurement invariance across gender and age were examined by confirmatory factor analyses. Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate criterion validity. The subscales exhibited acceptable to good internal consistency. The assumed three-factor structure was confirmed within a bi-factor model including a general factor and three specific group factors. Results strongly supported measurement invariance across gender while tentatively suggesting measurement invariance across age. Criterion validity was supported as the MD-PASS-PE explained 15% and 14% of the variance in the constructs of self-efficacy and intrinsic value, respectively. The German MD-PASS-PE provides PE teachers with deeper insights into their autonomy-supportive teaching behavior, helping them to support their students’ autonomy in a holistic way.

In Nigeria, the need for the reopening of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the introduction of a virtual teaching-learning process as an alternative to the face-to-face instructional approach. This study thus investigated the perception of history education students on the virtual teaching-learning process during COVID-19 pandemic in Kwara State, Nigeria. It examined the challenges of the virtual teaching-learning process during Covid-19 pandemic as perceived by history education students in Kwara State, and the level of the respondents’ willingness to further use virtual teaching-learning process after the pandemic. The research design employed for this study was the descriptive survey. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 248 respondents and the “Perception of Virtual Teaching-Learning Process Questionnaire” (PVTLPQ) was used to collect data for the study. At the end of the questionnaire administration, 235 copies were valid for data analysis. The method used to analyse the data collected were descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that some of the benefits of the virtual teaching-learning process were flexibility to the study at the time convenient to the learner and accommodating different types of learning styles. Lack of internet connectivity, epileptic power supply and lack of computer/phone devices were some of the identified challenges of the virtual teaching-learning process. Also, gender, age and level of study did not influence respondents’ perception of the virtual teaching-learning process. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that government and curriculum planners should integrate the virtual teaching-learning approach into the classroom instructional process so that both the students and their lecturers can be well acquainted with the use of ICT and be able to explore the benefits embedded in its usage.

The paper presents a comparative analysis of sociological data concerning teachers working in the Sverdlovsk region (Russian Federation). The data were collected in 1989, 2016, and 2021. The surveys investigated social ideas and stereotypes reflecting public attitudes towards teachers in Russia and teaching communities. The research is based on a hybrid multi-paradigm methodology comprising systemic, structural, functional, generalized, temporal, and procedural descriptions. We used the data obtained from questionnaires surveying teachers in 1989 (n = 1183 participants), 2016 (n = 529 participants), 2021 (n = 412 participants). Data processing was carried out with the help of the VORTEX software application.The comparative data analysis demonstrated that, while the proportion of female teachers and teachers of older age groups has increased over three decades, this has been accompanied by an increase in the education level. It is significant that the motivation for selecting the teaching profession and overall levels of satisfaction remained the same. However, at the same time, assessments of the possibility to advance through a teaching career and professional well-being have noticeably deteriorated. Among key factors affecting teachers’ satisfaction are physical conditions, low wages, lack of time for private life and the stress of endless school reforms. All of this has led to a decline in the prestige of the teaching profession along with the formation of a negative image. The paper describes efforts required to ensure the enhancement of the teaching profession in the Russian Federation.

Objective: To describe the process of developing a Health Qigong programme for stressed children using a formative evaluation approach. Methods: A multi-step formative evaluation method was utilised. These steps included (1) identifying programme content and drafting the curriculum, (2) synthesising effective and age-appropriate pedagogies, (3) consulting an expert panel, (4) teaching pilot lessons and soliciting feedback from students and (5) revising and finalising the programme. Results: A total of 16 theme-based lessons were generated in order to help children manage stress by imitating interesting plants and animals, such as sunflowers, pine trees, white cranes, tigers, sleeping lions and deer. Five age-appropriate teaching strategies were synthesised to make the programme fun and enjoyable for children. These included (1) using theme-based lesson plans, (2) building mind–body connections, (3) balancing repetition and creativity, (4) interweaving pictures, stories, volunteers and teamwork and (5) involving parents and school teachers. Modifications based on feedback from the expert panel and students were incorporated to make the programme relevant to elementary school settings. Conclusion: This Health Qigong for Stressed Children programme appears effective in reducing stress over a 16-week period. Future studies should explore the efficacy and wider applicability of the programme with a larger and more diverse population of children.

BACKGROUND Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Several ocular manifestations occur before and during multi drug therapy (MDT) and they can continue to occur even after the completion in bacteriologically cured patients. Blindness is a catastrophic event that can occur by several mechanisms at any stage. We need to learn and recognise the early signs and symptoms of ocular complications, so that we can treat the patient early. We need to evaluate the pattern of ocular manifestation in leprosy patients on MDT (Multi Drug Therapy). METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted over a duration of six months on diagnosed cases of leprosy and those cured from leprosy. Data was collected by clinical history with slit lamp examination, fundus examination, and laboratory investigation. RESULTS Total 30 patients were included in the study in which 13 patients were on MDT, 7 newly detected cases and 10 treated cases. 22 were males and 8 were females with male - female ratio of 2.75:1. Average age of presentation was 46 years with range from 18 - 80 years. 56 % had ocular manifestations in this study. Ocular lesions were more in cases who had leprosy for ≥ 16 years. Visual acuity ranged from 6 / 6 to PL + ve. Lagophthalmos was noted in 4 cases, cataract in 6 cases, exposure keratitis in 2, chalky white deposits on cornea in 2, spheroidal degeneration in 2, iris atrophy in 2, and pterygium in 2 cases. CONCLUSIONS Patients who completed treatment for MDT require periodic monitoring to detect ocular morbidity early and to prevent visual loss.

AimsIn response to medical students expressing concer at limited access to psychiatric placements, particularly on-the-ground teaching or witnessed patient cases, we established “Psych From The Couch” – an open-access, free, Zoom-based, interactive teaching programme. We sought to:Explore new means of psychiatric education, assess needs of multiple “categories” of student – medical, nursing, or PA students, junior doctors, wider MDT – and meet those needs in a creative, yet virtually-limited format.Assess disparities between students' self-declared learning deficits and objective knowledge gaps.To explore the use and value of virtual programmes as a structured means for inclusive multi-disciplinary education of psychiatric practice.MethodWe gathered information on students' self-declared learning needs and deficits, location, role, training level, and confidence at the outset of the programme, with data from ~180 “students”.We experiemtned with learning styles and methods of online interaction, running a series of 10 sessions - recorded for those unable to attend - incorporating the bredth of psychiatric curricula:Diagnostic Principles“Organic” PsychiatrySubstance MisusePsychotic DisordersAffective DisordersOld Age PsychiatryCAMHSEmergencies & LegalitiesExaminations in PsychiatryReal World PsychiatryWe utilised initial sign-up forms and repeated feedback requests to assess wider student needs, establish overarching structure to our programme, and ensure learning objectives were appropriate and met.We collated final feedback and scores at the close, assessing via examination questions and self-defined Likert scale, and incentivising feedback with a final portfolio certificate.ResultDemographics of open-access teaching varied broadly, from senior medical staff to access to medicine students; 92.9% were medical students. Students were diversely sourced from all years', with ~50% collectively in their penultimate or final years' of study.Most common self-defined decficits reported were understandably anxiety regarding practical examinations or assessment given recent placement restrictions, however many reflected on anxieties regarding psychiatric emergencies, substance misuse, legal frameworks, personality disorders as a diagnostic category, and pharmacological management.Our cohort responded warmly to our teaching style and techniques, with feedback and consequent improvements to teaching technique weekly. We were able to evidence improvements to global confidence, and confidence in key areas of prior learning anxiety.ConclusionCategorising self-defined deficits yielded fasctinating information on students' perception of their learning needs and deficits; these data may offer insight into potential deficits in the scope of nationwide psychiatric teaching.We were able to separately identify international students' or professionals' self-defined needs as distinct from UK students and graduates, with further rich data on the potential needs of those entering the NHS workforce.We also evidenced – with data regarding increased confidence, fewer self-defined learning deficits, significant Twitter social interaction, and in practical application of a virtual teaching methodology – proof of the concept of “Psych From The Couch”.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are major public health problem, especially in developing countries. Still now management of diabetic foot ulcer is the major challenge for surgeons.Methods: A prospective study was done at Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpally; from February 2014 to January 2017. All the collected data was analyzed by the SPSS 20.0 software.Results: A total of 350 DFUs patients was included in this study. Among all of them 77.14% were male and 22.86% were female. Most common age group with DFUs was 40-60 years. All the patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus. The majority of patients were presented foot ulcers between 4 weeks to 32 weeks. 18% patients had previous history of DFUs and 11.14% had previous amputation. The forefoot was commonly affected in 48.3% of cases. Neuropathic ulcers were the most common type of DFUs in 50.6% of cases. Wagner's stage 3, 4 and 5 ulcers were the most common at 20.86%, 28% and 22% respectively. 52.86% patients were treated surgically. Lower limb amputation was the most common surgical procedure performed in 60% of cases. The complication rate was (49.7%) and surgical site infection was the most common complication (34.8%). 60% of cultures had polymicrobial growth and Staphylococcus aureus (53.3%) was the most common microorganism isolated. Most of the microorganisms isolated showed multi drug resistance to commonly used antibiotics except for Carbapenems group drugs (sensitivity 100%). The hospital stay was ranged between 15-116 days. Mortality rate was 9.4%.Conclusions: Diabetic foot ulcer is the major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with diabetes mellitus. A proper education on foot care and appropriate foot ware, good sugar level control and early surgical intervention is needed to decrease the morbidity and mortality among diabetic foot ulcer patients.

AbstractWhat are the affordances of online gaming environments for second language learning and socialization? To answer this question, this qualitative study examines two college-age Spanish learners’ experiences participating in the Spanish language version of the massively multi-player online game World of Warcraft. Using data culled from participant observation, interviews, logs of in-game chat, and student journal entries, we describe how the design of the game, cultural norms for its use, and participants’ own abilities interact to afford distinct opportunities for language learning for these two students. Discussion focuses on how online games might be used for language teaching and learning in ways that take full advantage of the medium's affordances for both experienced and inexperienced players.

Full textAbstract:
The incidence of scrub typhus is increasing steadily with evidence of multi organ dysfunction. Lack of knowledge among health personnel may lead to under diagnosis and improper treatment of scrub typhus. Hence, this study was undertaken to find out the knowledge regarding scrub typhus among nurses. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used and a total 107 nurses were selected by probability, simple random sampling through lottery method. Data was collected using semi-structured self administered questionnaire. Obtained data was entered in IBM SPSS version 20.0 for window. Descriptive statistics was used for categorical and continuous variables and x2 test was used to find out the association between level of knowledge and selected variables. The result of the study shows that 58.9% of the respondents were in the age group of 20-23 years, 69.2% had completed PCL nursing, 50.5% had less than 2 years of work experience, and 64.5% had been working in critical area. More than half (55.1%) of the nurses had adequate level of knowledge regarding scrub typhus and the level of knowledge regarding scrub typhus was influenced by professional qualification (p=0.001) and self directed learning (p=0.010). The study concluded that nearly half of the nurses have inadequate knowledge regarding scrub typhus. Therefore, in-service education is needed for the nurses to build up their capacity for the proper management and prevention of disease.

Full textAbstract:
The article identifies the main problems of the organization, the features of collective educational activities in multi-age classes and ways to overcome them. The relevance of the article is determined by the demographic problem of Ukraine - the threat of closure of small rural schools for economic reasons. The position of the authors in this regard is as follows: if to develop a theoretical basis for the effective association of small classes into large, but mixed-age classes and to stimulate administrative and legal support of such association, it is possible to preserve schools even in the most marginalized areas. The general purpose of the article is to determine the peculiarities of functioning of multi-age classes in today's conditions and to provide recommendations for constructive organization of educational activities of multi-age classes in the realities of modern Ukrainian schools on the basis of the received data. Partial aims of the article - analysis of domestic and foreign literature and consideration of ideas and problems of teachers of Ukrainian small schools to obtain data, analyze them, and formulate recommendations. Criteria for selection and analysis of the literature - thematic, temporal (mainly the latest sources), problematic (coverage of the maximum number of problematic aspects) and practice-oriented (data can be extrapolated, adapted, borrowed). This determined the methods of the article: typological. comparative, pragmatic analysis of the content of educational conditions and principles related to the topic; sociological (elements of questioning teachers unrepresentative sample) for general opinion of teachers, getting suggestions (request) and teachers' attitude to the problem. At the final stage, methods of extrapolation (according to the installation "world tendencies - Ukrainian realities"), generalization and forecasting were used. Prospects for further research lie in the development of integrated teaching methods and forms. The latter should be both maximally differentiated, but expediently integrated, and subjects of different ages should minimally interfere and maximally mutually assist in achieving educational goals.

Objective: To assess clinical application of multi-color OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) with the utilization of the CSLO (Confocal Scanning Laser-Ophthalmoscopy) in various pathologies of retina. Methodology: This study was conducted at in Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Teaching Hospital Abbottabad and the duration of this study was from April 2021 to June 2021. There were thirty-six patients in this research study who were suffering from various retinal pathologies as disorders of vitreomacular interface, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration related with age with the utilization of multi-color OCT as a tool of screening. Results: This study discovered that ophthalmologist were able to get high resolution images of CSLO reflectance because of the automatic tracking system of this particular tool (new version). Confocal optics may be used to avoid the scattering of light. Some of the differences were presence of hemorrhages and presences of pigment changes when comparison with the conventional CFP was performed. Approximately 20.0% patients with AMD, 37.50% patients with diabetes and 100% patients suffering from disorders of vitreomacular interface could have been missed easily with the utilization of CFP. Conclusions: The findings conclude that multi-color OCT is able to deliver information & figures far more confident was compared to conventional method of CFP, because it is much influenced by the media opacities. For the best interpretation of the Multi-color OCT, more watchfulness of the ophthalmologists is necessary with high level of comprehensiveness. Keywords: Retinal Pathologies, Multi-Color, Diabetic Retinopathy, Optical Coherence Tomography.
