Somayeh Sharifi, Islamic Azad University, Iran

Maryam Rokhideh, Islamic Azad University, Iran

Abstract

Identity “represents the process by which the person seeks to integrate his (sic) various statuses and roles, as well as his diverse experiences, into a coherent image of self”. (Epstein, 1978, p. 101). While teaching teachers are gaining experience and are building their image of self and their professional role identity. This article presents a qualitative study which examined the effect of mentors and collaborative reflection on the professional role identity of eight inexperienced ESL teachers teaching elementary level in a cohort of first year of their career. Eight teachers were allocated into two groups experimental and control group. Both groups had passes teacher training classes and had an observer who had more than ten year teaching experience to check their performance once a week. However, an observer in experimental group besides observing acted as a mentor and conducted regular reflective meeting once a week in order to guide the teacher to overcome negative points. Findings from observation and interview pointed to the potential utility of applying mentor and reflective meeting by which teachers develop a professional teaching identity.

THE BIG ACADEMIC DILEMMA: TO USE OR NOT TO USE PPT?

Ali Pajaziti, The Former Yugoslav Republic of, Macedonia

Abstract

As an universal definition points out, knowledge is information supplied with meaning (Liessmann, 2012). In the era of globalized and information society, when meaning is deconstructed, one of the great issues of the academia or university is how to guard the real teaching and learning in the context of digital ocean, how to keep this institution from the relativization and superficialization of the knowledge-building process. The topic of this paper is the technoid culture and half-education (Adorno), i.e. dilemma of using or not of the Power Point Presentation in the universities, SWOT analysis of this tool in the teaching process. The PPT as exciting innovation gets overused and abused, and teacher who abuse PPT, create students who abuse the same tool. Digital slideshows are the scourge of the higher education (Schumann, 2014). The focus of this paper will be on the case of South-East European University and the practice of the use of PPT. From Angel, to Libri and Google Classroom, SEEU is one of the leaders of using tools of e-learning in the Macedonia. The methodology used in this study includes observation, quantitative analysis (Annual Reports of the Quality Assurance Office) and the interviews with the university teachers and students on this disputable topic, with many pros and contras. Keywords: Power Point, university, teaching, disinformation society

Abstract Regional peculiarities of the modern demographic processes in Kazakhstan are so essential, that it’s not always appropriate to talk about the demographic situation in the whole Republic. To implement unbiased and more efficient demographic policy of the state, the study of demographic processes from the point of view of their regional ranking is seen as a priority and scientifically sound.. The goal of demographic of zoning is to highlight the regions with relatively homogeneous demographic situation and different mode of reproduction. Zoning is implemented by the method of multidimensional classification – cluster analysis (Fuzzy class program). Demographic zoning identified 5 clusters. The concept of “ethno-demographic areas” can be used. The concept was introduced by Ukrainian demographers to denote a territory with relatively homogeneous demography. We consider it necessary to enlarge the concept, name the clusters as “ethnic and demographic areas” and stress the importance of ethnic component forming regional peculiarities. That is the ethnic differentiation that promotes the specific republic population development. Analysis of the situation in those areas made it possible to reveal their specific demographic development. The level of their regional differences turned out to be substantial. The character of demographic processes in two areas (cluster 1 and 3) can be referred to favorably. Cluster 2 and 4 have a complicated demographic situation, characterized by unfavorable trends and crucial moment. The state of those possesses in cluster 5 can be characterized as a transitional period coming to accumulating positive characteristics of population which means that the demographic situation considerably improved for last fifteen years. We encourage state agencies to develop regional demographic development programmers aimed at improving (adjusting) of the demographic situation in the regions of Kazakhstan.

Engelli Farkındalığı Eğitiminde Görsel Medya ve Teknolojinin Önemi

Başak Eser, Near East University, Cyprus



Abstract

Okul öncesi dönemdeki özel gereksinimli öğrencilerin çok azının bu tür bir eğitimden geçtiği ülkemizde, normal gelişim gösteren çocuklara engelli farkındalığı ile ilgili verilen eğitimin oldukça yetersiz olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Hem özel gereksinimli hem de normal gelişim gösteren öğrencilerin bu eğitimden yarar sağlayabilmeleri başta bu çocukların akranlarına karşı tutumu olmak üzere pek çok faktöre bağlıdır. Dolayısıyla, bu arastırmanın amacı, normal gelişim gösteren okul öncesi dönemdeki öğrencilerin engelli farkındalığı ve bedensel engelli akranlarına yönelik görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu bağımsız anaokullarında öğrenim gören ve normal gelisim gösteren öğrencilerden gönüllü katılma temeline uygun olarak seçilen 30 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilere ‘’engelli farkındalığı’’ ile ilgili videolar izletilerek ön test ve son test uygulaması yapılmıştır. Bu araştırmada nitel arastırma desenine bağlı yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği ile veriler toplanmıştır. Araştırmada normal gelişim gösteren öğrencilerin çoğunun engelli farkındalığının olumlu yönde gelişim gösterdiği ve bedensel engelli akranlarıyla birlikte eğitim almaları konusunda olumlu görüş bildirdikleri ortaya çıkarılmıştır.

Nurse Scheduling Problem A Case Study in a Hospital

Erjon Duka, Epoka University, Albania

Abstract

In this paper, what i have been discussed, is analyzing penalties and cost shifts based on several elements for nurse scheduling problem (NSP). NSP’s issue is to assign nurses to different tasks based on constraints. The problem is known to be NP-hard, in other words it does not have a solution or needs years to be solved. In this work we try to solve the problem by satisfying the constraints set, and we also include the nurse’s preference and try to balance the difficulty level of all the involved nurses. We also analyze the complexity of the problem as a function of parameters such as number of nurses, number of shifts, and optimality of the function.

According to the importance in practice, many scientists have developed NSP problems in a satisfactory time limit.

Computer-assisted Approaches to Teach Multi-word Expressions

Velislava Stoykova, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria

Abstract

The multi-word expressions were studied using different approaches analysing that language units both according to their form and meaning. Different types of multi-word expresssions were classified mostly with respect to their linguistic structure. Recently, a collocation approach using electronic text corpora search procedures was used to evaluate multi-word expressions according to the part-of-speech they include. We present a teaching approach to study multi-word expressions based on both collocation generation evaluation and semantic analysis. The approach is also suitable for automatic generation of language test items.

Abstract

The basic aim of this study is to determine the influence of Flipped learning on attitudes of students towards technology in the 8th grade math lesson. The workgroup of this study is consisted of the 8th grade students of Mithatpaşa Secondary School that is in the centre of Giresun. Two of the 5 eighth grade classes were included in the study. One of the classes that has 32 students is determined as the experimental group and the other class that has 30 students is determined as the control group. In the study, in the forming of the both experimental and control groups, ‘rendom sampling method’ that is one of the probability based sampling methods was used. The findings were collected by using both qualitative and quantitative data collection tools. Before-after application in the quantitative size, to determine the attitudes of students towards technology ‘The Turkey version of students’ attitudes scale towards technology (ÖTYT-TR)’ that has 24 items and that was developed by Yurdagül and Aşkar (2008) was applied to the experimental and control groups. During the application, videos that are appropriate for the lesson content were prepared for the experimental group which was determined as flipped classroom and these videos were uploded to ‘Education information Network’ by the teacher. Afterwards, the students were divided into groups of 5-6 according to the subjects the teacher taught in the class. In the groups, the students solved tests individually or in groups, they asked questions and they formed discussion groups. In the control group, the teacher taught the lesson in line with the current programme, completed the learning process with homework and tests. Finally, at the end of the qualitative practice, qualitative data were collected by using semi-structured interview form and using document analysis developed by Koç (2016). In the analysis, t-test, content and descriptive analysing methods were used. In line with the data that were obtained from the analysis, recommendations were presented.
