It is carried out to help students to understand the discoveries and other definite activities around them. Implementation of literacy curriculum development is all about working with the acquiring skills, applied, practiced and socially situated for learning and teaching processes. The purpose of the study is to examine the concept of implementation of literacy curriculum developed to determine international positive school, the factors guiding implementation literacy curriculum development and the importance of implementation of literacy curriculum development to influence international positive school in the country. Specifically, the study reviews the factors influencing implementation of literacy curriculum development and studies that influence teaching and learning in schools. This study is significant because literacy curriculum development as correlates to international positive schools and well-being would inspire students’ education to be respected and recognized globally. It would also equip students with quality education. It would expose students to knowledge that could handle future challenges of life. It would also serve as opportunity for social interaction among teachers and students from various countries. The conclusion drawn for the paper is that literacy curriculum development should be seen as an avenue which could attract international positive schools and well-being of the students, country and the world at large. It would help to find solution to educational problems by incorporating new developments in the nation’s school system. It promotes educational linkages among nations. There would be healthy interaction among teachers and students which would contribute greatly to the effectiveness of teaching and learning in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":31190,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74584642","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}

In the context of agriculture, mechatronics plays a crucial role in automating various processes to improve productivity, efficiency, and sustainability in farming. By the other hand the teaching of mathematics is an essential component of education, helping students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. Regarding the teaching of mathematics, integrating mechatronics can provide practical applications for mathematical concepts. Mechatronics systems involve mathematical models, algorithms, and control systems. By incorporating mechatronics projects into math curricula, students can gain hands-on experience applying mathematical concepts to real-world problems. This integration can make mathematics more engaging, relevant, and tangible for students, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the subject. Overall, integrating mechatronics in agriculture not only improves agricultural practices but also offers opportunities to enhance the teaching of mathematics through practical applications. The final recommendation is that mechatronics for the teaching of mathematics should be interrelated with agricultural projects so that students learn in a positive way with contributions to the community, likewise research in this regard should be promoted since it is null in these topics.","PeriodicalId":31190,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91103554","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 article examines the impact of Singapore’s decision to cancel mid-year examinations in primary and secondary schools and the inspirations that China can draw from it. The analysis demonstrates that eliminating mid-year exams in Singapore can mitigate students’ academic stress, foster their all-round development, decrease teacher workload, and enhance parent-child relations. Nevertheless, it may also lead to some adverse consequences, such as declining academic performance, challenges in assessing teaching effectiveness, and shifting parental attitudes.

Consequently, this special project report will focus on the university students’ level of satisfaction with distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because the level of satisfaction among college students with online distance teaching and learning during the pandemic is likely to affect these students’ learning outcomes and academic performance. Therefore, this special project report aims to explore the college students’ satisfaction level with distance education due to COVID-19 and draw implications from the results. Firstly, it reviews several empirical studies and relevant theoretical discussions concerning students’ satisfaction with online distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondly, it reviews and analyzes the factors that influence students’ satisfaction with online distance education. Then, based on the review of the research results and views of previous scholars, this project will draw some implications on online distance learning.

The aim of the thesis is to create and compare real profiles of Czech and Finnish primary school teachers with an emphasis on finding out what is behind the quality of inclusive education in Finland and how these findings can improve inclusive education and the teaching profession in the Czech context. The key aim is to create an ideal profile of a first grade teacher in inclusive education, i.e., a conception of the teachers’ own learning processes, competences and real conditions that a teacher needs for his/her work in a heterogeneous classroom. In order to achieve the goal, the comparative nature of the work and the design of the qualitative case study was chosen, where the case is understood as a primary school teacher against the background of inclusive education — the total number of participants is 20 teachers (10 Czech and 10 Finnish). The main methods for securing data were content and thematic analysis of Czech and foreign sources. The findings became the basis for further reflection and the creation of semi-structured interviews and observations. The first round of data processing used case studies of individual participants, which were subsequently supplemented by data obtained by axial coding. Real profiles of both Czech and Finnish teachers were then created. These profiles were compared and a draft ideal profile of a primary school teacher in inclusive education was created, which reflects the data obtained by the research of this thesis with the data from the thematic analysis and was created from below, based on the opinions and experiences of the teachers themselves. The results show that the professional primary school teacher has a positive attitude towards inclusive education; uses a variety of teaching strategies leading to active involvement of pupils; is involved in his/her own professional development and the development of the school as a community; uses individualisation and differentiation in his/her work and is part of a multi-professional team. Conditions must be created for the teacher to do his/her job where other teaching staff are available to take away from the teacher’s high demands for specific knowledge of special education and legislation; lower class sizes; the introduction of pupil assessment criteria and the use of appropriate forms of assessment.","PeriodicalId":31190,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91043140","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}
