Our primary goal is to see if the language of instruction in second-language immersion programs impacts the development of mathematical thinking. Therefore, we determine that the language of instruction only influences the development of the first abilities in the pupils’ overall performance or specific areas. When mathematical thinking is established while teaching formal concepts in a non-native language, the analysis of variance and multiple regression results indicates how explicit the language of instruction is. The second language impacts the resolution of everyday difficulties, with pupils in first grade that have a language of instruction that matches their mother tongue being competent.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130135478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Resilience, Hope, And Forgiveness Among College Students","authors":"Diane D Lipat, S. M. T. Espinol, Carl Reman M. Maranan, R. M. Q. Manalo","doi":"10.26803/myres.2022.05","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26803/myres.2022.05","url":null,"abstract":"This study aimed to explore the relationship between resilience, hope, and forgiveness and the difference between forgiveness and hope regarding sex. The result of this study with a mixed method research design precisely sequential explanatory through follow-up is to create a model that will better understand the variables being explored from a Filipino perspective. The participants of this study included 250 college students from a university and were selected through nonprobability sampling, specifically quota sampling for the quantitative part of the study, and 15 college students to answer the interview. The study used a mixed method design, specifically sequential explanatory through follow-up design. There were three instruments used in the study, namely: Herth Hope Index, Heartland Forgiveness Scale, and Wagnild and Young's Resilience Scale, and validated interview questions. The results suggest a significant relationship between hope and resilience, but there is no significant relationship between hope and forgiveness. Additionally, when compared based on sex, it was found that there is no significant difference between forgiveness and hope. In terms of thematic analysis, themes formed out of the participants' experiences in life about resilience include positivity, adaptability towards circumstances, and toughening. In terms of perception of hope by the participants, faith, desire and possibility were the themes formed. Based on the participants' responses, two types of forgiveness have been formed, which include decisional and emotional forgiveness. As a person becomes more hopeful in his or her, he or she can also be resilient in facing adversities in life. Hope can be a source of resilience. However, it is not at all times that hope can influence the likelihood of forgiving people who have offended someone. There can be other factors that can make people forgive. Hope and forgiveness do not differ in terms of sex.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"28 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133850547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concepts of autonomous learning, independent decision-making, time and space flexibility, and teachers' evolving roles from instructors to facilitators are all well represented in the E-learning context. Our students belong to the digital generation, and no one can deny that we spend most of our time in front of our screens, exchanging via social networks or emails. Electronic devices speed up communication and leave behind face-to-face communication, which is a primary aspect to consider, mainly during lockdown (pandemic) in social communication in general and in an educational context in particular. As a result, it is interesting to investigate how distance learning increase/decrease students' self-learning abilities during the COVID-19 pandemic and the main issues students and teachers face through online education. The present research, an exploratory case study, was conducted at the University of Tlemcen, Department of English, through E-questionnaire to investigate how learning/teaching occurs as a hybrid process that starts in the classroom and continues online. Our findings highlight the importance of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) in autonomous learning circumstances, such as remote learning, even though the generalizability of our findings has some limitations due to the cross-sectional character of the study and the sampling technique. As a result, fostering SRL should be a top focus in the physical classroom and online education. Self-access language learning centres allow students to learn in a self-directed manner to meet various learning objectives.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125098647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Cox hazard model and the Weibull parametric model were applied in this study to analyse farmer productivity and a sample of 176 randomly selected farmers and a questionnaire was administered to solicit information on the wages, education level and the level of government support in terms of input subsidies. The results showed that educated farmers are more likely to be productive and take lesser time to increase their productivity levels compared to less educated farmers. This then pointed to the fact that the government of Zimbabwe should have targeted the education of farmers first before embarking on resettling the A1 smallholder farmers and this can also be considered in future land reforms. The study recommended that there be farmer education initiatives to speed up their graduation from survivor to hazard farmers.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125585882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is a desktop review paper that has put into consideration the authors experiences before, during and after the pandemic. The paper also looked at the global objective while it put into consideration the Sustainable Development Goa (SDG)l 4 which dealt with the education sector. The next thing that was dealt with in this paper is the massification which helped to address the South African challenges and how they were tackled. The role of technology was also written about and the challenges were dealt with. The latter part of this paper also looked at cheating during online assessments and also recommending that all contact lectures must be recorded so that students can have access to the lecture clip at any point in time. This can enhance their performance and increase the success of teaching and learning / pass rate. These are some of the future recommendation that can be considered. This paper also provided some recommendation that can be utilized in future so that both lectures and students are well equipped and prepared for the unknown.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130227316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Factors affecting adoption of mobile phone applications among farmers in Lilongwe, Malawi: The case of Mchikumbe 212","authors":"Cynthia Mahata, P. Mhagama","doi":"10.26803/myres.2022.28","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26803/myres.2022.28","url":null,"abstract":"The Ministry of Agriculture, through the Department of Agriculture Extension Services, intensified the use of ICTs in Agriculture extension as one way of mitigating the high extension worker to farmer ratio in Malawi. ICT-based agricultural extension in Malawi has evolved from using traditional ICT tools to modern ones. Of interest to this study is the Mchikumbe 212 platform. This service was launched by Airtel Malawi, in partnership with the Human Network International (HNI) in September 2015. The service aims to transform farming by increasing farmers’ access to information and advisory services. It provides farmers with access to practical information about agriculture via interactive voice response and short messaging services, where farmers listen to agriculture extension advisory services on a crop of their choice on their mobile phones by dialing 212. However, the adoption of the Mchikumbe 212 platform has not been satisfactory as the number of registered users has decreased since its launch. The study, therefore, aimed at analysing the factors affecting the adoption or rejection of the Mchikumbe 212 platform among farmers in Malawi. Data was collected using face-to-face interviews with both adopter and non-adopter farmers of the technology drawn from Lilongwe district. Key informant interviews were also conducted with officials from Airtel Malawi, Ministry of Agriculture and Human Network International. The study finds that there are several factors that both positively and negatively affect the adoption of the technology. Farmers who adopted the Mchikumbe 212 platform found it easy to use and navigate, convenient, affordable and accessible, and that it gave timely and relevant information for direct application in their gardens. Non-adopters showed preference for face-to-face extension over the Mchikumbe 212 platform citing absence of instant feedback as the main reason for non-adoption. Further, very little was done to promote the platform by the Ministry of Agriculture and Airtel Malawi. As a result, farmers did not associate Mchikumbe 212 platform with the government extension system. This is one of the factors that have negatively affected its adoption.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117332765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Driven by the Internet of Things (IoT), the 4IR and its associated technologies are driving great shifts in manufacturing and production and as such, within the Industrial Design (ID) discipline itself, not only in the products we design but more notably, in the tools and processes we use to do so. The unprecedented speed at which these innovative technologies are progressing and reshaping the industry calls for the urgent restructuring of higher education curricula. To prepare students for the rapidly changing industry, ID programmes must develop appropriate content and integrate these technologies into their teaching and learning to deliver the skills and knowledge needed in this new era. This paper reports on the first cycle of an Action Research study in which ID lecturers and 1st-year students explored the utilization of 4IR technologies in undergraduate teaching. This project aimed to identify the opportunities and challenges of such technologies to determine the most effective and appropriate way to incorporate new technologies into the curriculum. The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the implementation of these technologies through the assessment of the efficacy of the project outcomes through examples provide, and the students’ individual experiences and reflections, and finally, to present key findings and recommendations for further study.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116540102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model predicts the time and magnitudeof newly released products and services. The diffusion of innovations (DoI) paradigm is a way of studyingthe spread of a new product and servicesthat will be adopted over time by the first adapters, then subsequent imitators and adapters that could be accommodated within the program. This model is applied to the spread of the information of the government Tertiary Education Subsidy program on the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) among the Filipino youth with a target of spreading the information to out ofschool youths. The cash transfer allows a beneficiary to enroll in tertiary education with allowance and free tuition fees. The enrolment for the first semester for five years (CY 2014-2018) was obtained from the quarterly reports of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and was applied in the Bass forecasting spreadsheet. Cumulative diffusion and saturation point were categorically determined by the CCT beneficiaries from the initial adapters, imitators, and the potential imitators. Findings revealed that there was a slow diffusion at the early stage of CCT beneficiaries in tertiary education. However, the forecast revealed that almost one million of the beneficiaries could benefit from the program after 30 years. It will take four years for students to finish their higher education degree before they can be considered part of the working force. Significantly, short-term course offerings that are skill-based may be offered to students to acquire knowledge, expertise in the tools, equipment, or technology and materials used and interactions they need to get a job thus, earning wages to help the family earn a living.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134429114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
