Adapted from the medical and aviation fields, the concept of simulations is currently making an entry into the world of education. An international pioneer in this venture, Israel already has twenty simulation centers at its universities and teacher training colleges and has more in the planning stages. Through qualitative research methods, this study analyses the factors contributing to their success. It highlights benefits derived by teachers from experiences at simulation centers including, inter alia, heightened self-awareness leading to more successful interactions in the workplace. Numerous benefits, particularly for graduates entering the teaching profession, suggest that simulation center experiences should be necessary inclusions of teacher training programs around the world.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84723533","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 present study aims to investigate the relation between parents’ characteristics (parental literacy expectations and attitudes, number of books at home) and parents’ practices (formal and informal literacy activities - shared book reading - and parental involvement) and children’s early literacy skills (word/pseudoword reading, spelling, knowledge of the alphabet, oral language) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thirty-five first grade children aged between 6 and 7 years old (M = 6.29; SD = 0.45) from private Brazilian schools took part in this study. The number of books at home predicted 16% of the variance in shared book reading frequency between parents and children. Moderate positive correlations were found between shared book reading frequency and phonological awareness and oral language performances. Parental involvement was strongly correlated with pseudoword reading performance, word/pseudoword spelling, letter writing and phonological awareness. Shared book reading explained 16.5% of the variance in phonological awareness performance and 11.8% in oral language. Parental involvement explained 28% of the variance of children's performance in phonological awareness. Family practices, especially shared book reading and parental involvement in children’s learning processes seem to promote phonological awareness and oral language skills development during a period of school closures and remote teaching/learning. These metalinguistic and oral language skills are important predictors of success in learning to read and spelling and can therefore be promoted through parenting practices.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84295024","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}

Teachers are expected to teach the students how, and not what to think, emphasizing the change of focus in modern education, whose demand becomes a critical reflection on the content of teaching, and not exclusively its adoption and reproduction. Tennessee Williams’s play The Streetcar Named Desire although written in 1947 is frequently staged in theatres all over the world. The plot depicts family and social relations and, among others, the destiny of Blanche, a character with anxiety disorder, an alcoholic, labelled sexually deviant, older, who instead of being supported by her family, ends up in a mental institution. The goal of this paper is to analyse the presentation of characters in the play through the social model of disability, the central thesis of which is: disability, that is physical or mental impairment, is undoubtedly a limitation of functionality for each individual; however, disability also arises because of social processes. The way the disability is presented in the play can be a basis for teaching understanding, empathy and tolerance as well as correct decision-making as the foundation of critical thinking.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86701806","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}

Aim: This study aimed to monitor the development of oral reading fluency in students from the 2nd to the 5th grade of Elementary School I during the school year. Method: This study was approved by the research ethics committee (09575419.0.0000.5406) of the home institution. The study included 400 students from the 2nd to the 5th grade of Elementary School I from a municipal public school in the interior of the State of São Paulo, aged from 7 years to 10 years and 11 months. The Performance Assessment in Reading Fluency was applied. Reading fluency measures were performed by collecting oral reading of three texts of the same textual complexity in the months of March, July and November. For the analysis of each text, the analysis parameters of the types of errors made during reading were used, referring to words read correctly and incorrectly per minute. Results: The results were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 22.0, with a significance level of 5% (0.050). With the application of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, it was possible to verify that there was a statistically significant difference in the groups of this study both for the total number of words read correctly in one minute and the total number of words read incorrectly between the third moment of the fluency measure in comparison with the first moment. With the application of the Mann-Whitney Test, it was possible to verify that there was a statistically significant difference, indicating that the groups had a lower number of words read correctly per minute in the first reading measure compared to the second and third measures. This same finding was found in the reading of misspelled words per minute. Conclusion: The results of this study allowed monitoring and accompanying in a simple, reliable and valid way, the progressive development of oral reading fluency, evidenced by the increase in the number of words read correctly and the decrease in the number of errors from the 2nd to the 5th grade of Elementary School I.","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86854504","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":"MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF THE ROLE OF ENGLISH AND SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE ON NATURAL SCIENCES LEARNING","authors":"Nishana Wilson, Lydia Mavuru","doi":"10.36315/2023v1end117","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2023v1end117","url":null,"abstract":"South Africa has eleven official languages, and yet only two languages, English and Afrikaans are the Languages of Learning and Teaching (LoLT) in schools. Language is important in shaping the learning and teaching environment in a classroom. Teaching Natural Sciences in English in a multilingual classroom can be challenging when learners are not proficient in the language of LoLT. That complexity is exacerbated by the nature of scientific language which is designed and considered to be academic concise, precise, and authoritative, making scientific concepts inaccessible to most learners. This is an unfortunate situation because in science classrooms, learners are expected to read, comprehend, write, articulate, and use English and subject-specific terminologies. The authors of the current paper argue that both English language and scientific language create a learning barrier for the learners whose home languages are different from English, the LoLT. It is against this background that the current study being reported herein sought to determine multilingual learners’ perceptions of the role of English language and scientific language in their learning of Natural Sciences. In a qualitative research design two grade 8 and 9 Natural Sciences classes and their teachers were selected from two high schools in township areas using purposive sampling technique. Data collection involved focus group interviews with learners and individual interviews with the teachers. Each teacher was observed once whilst teaching Natural Sciences to grade 8 or grade 9 classes. The qualitative data collected was subjected to content analysis and two main themes were obtained: 1. Learners’ perceptions that English language and scientific language limit their understanding of scientific concepts; and 2. Teachers’ assistance in mitigating challenges imposed by English language and scientific language experienced by English-second-language speakers. Learners from the two schools indicated that both English language which is their second or third language and scientific language imposed many challenges in their learning of Natural Sciences. These challenges included failure to read, write and understand Natural Sciences content. Those learners showed excitement at the prospect of learning science in their home languages as they were not comfortable with being taught in English. Teachers used code switching and hands on activities to mitigate language challenges in their classrooms. The study findings thus have implications for both curriculum policy implementation and continued teacher professional development","PeriodicalId":93546,"journal":{"name":"Education and new developments","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76027740","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}
