The purposes of this research are to 1) analyze the lessons learned by communities in the process of developing their basic economies, and 2) present a collaborative learning and development approach for building the underlying economy of the community. The research is qualitative and based on cultural anthropological research standards. The population used in this study consisted of 15 members of a community enterprise group in Nongpaen Sub-district, Kamalasai District, and Kalasin Province. A purposive sample of 185 people was selected. Research tools include interviews and group discussions, descriptive data analysis, and analysis. Collect data from a collection of relevant documents and ideas to present guidelines for the development of the University to Tambon (U2T) project’s grassroots economy. The results showed that: 1) community learning for essential economic growth starts with figuring out how to deal with problems; community leaders will work together to combine lessons and come up with joint solutions, and 2) community learning initiatives increase the foundation economy’s capacity for productive community enterprise growth. Three variables were discovered to have an impact on the operation: production variables, quality variables, and marketing variables. The public or private sectors must build and support the foundation economy to be stable and sustainable and promote product knowledge. The neighborhood can become independent in terms of marketing and product quality.

In parallel with the constantly developing and changing technology, there is an increase in the consumption of digital games and a change in the way of use. About 30 million people in Turkey are interested in digital games and spend their free time in this way. Considering the Z generation, a significant portion of these users are high school and university students. There are even high school and university students who continue their professional careers as e-athletes. Determining why the Z generation prefers digital games and sports as a career or an important tool to evaluate their spare time can contribute to the e-sports literature. In this context, the aim of the research is to understand the motivations of generation Z to play digital games and to contribute to the e-sports literature. In the research, 335 digital game users were reached on the internet with the convenience sampling technique. In obtaining the data; Demir and Hazar (2018); Digital game playing motivation scale developed by the company was used. In the analysis of the data, the scale dimensions were compared according to the demographic characteristics of the sample (gender, education, age and income, daily and annual playing times) using variance analysis and significant differences were determined. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that men have a higher motivation to play digital games than women, those with a high school education level are more motivated to play digital games than those with a university education level, and there is no significant difference in the motivation of playing digital games in the age group from other age groups. As a result, the motivations of the Z generation to play digital games were examined and suggestions were made to the e-sports industry and literature as a result of the differences in demographic characteristics. However, much more can be done to help us understand the underlying psychological processes involved in the motivation of young players, particularly in terms of passion and flow experiences.
随着技术的不断发展和变化,数字游戏的消费也在增加,使用方式也在改变。在土耳其,大约有3000万人对数字游戏感兴趣,并以这种方式度过他们的空闲时间。考虑到Z世代,这些用户中有很大一部分是高中生和大学生。甚至有高中生和大学生继续他们的职业生涯作为电子运动员。确定为什么Z世代更喜欢将数字游戏和体育作为职业或评估业余时间的重要工具,可以为电子竞技文献做出贡献。在这种背景下,本研究的目的是了解Z世代玩数字游戏的动机,并为电子竞技文献做出贡献。本研究采用便捷抽样技术,对335名网络游戏用户进行了抽样调查。在取得资料时;Demir and Hazar (2018);使用公司开发的数字游戏玩动机量表。在数据分析中,根据样本的人口统计学特征(性别、教育程度、年龄和收入、每日和每年的游戏次数),采用方差分析对量表维度进行比较,确定显著差异。通过分析,可以确定男性玩数字游戏的动机高于女性,高中学历的人玩数字游戏的动机高于大学学历的人,并且该年龄段的数字游戏动机与其他年龄段的数字游戏动机没有显著差异。因此,我们研究了Z世代玩数字游戏的动机,并根据人口统计学特征的差异对电子竞技产业和文学提出了建议。然而,我们还可以做更多的工作来帮助我们理解年轻玩家动机的潜在心理过程,特别是在激情和流体验方面。

Both sports education and training interventions create a dose-response relationship in the body which change the body composition. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between pre-season body composition and physical performance parameters of collegiate American football players. 23 American football players (age: 22.3±3.1 years, height: 180.6±5.6 cm, weight: 94.2±16.9 kg) voluntarily participated in the study. The body compositions of players were determined via Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) device and countermovement jump (CMJ), 10 and 40-yard sprinting and pro-agility tests were applied to evaluate physical performance. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to determine whether there was a relationship between body composition parameters and field tests. As a result, a statistically significant negative correlation (p < 0.05) was found between body fat percentage (r = -.736; p < .001) and body fat mass (r = -.717; p < .001) with CMJ. A statistically significant relationship (p<0.05) was found between body fat percentage (r = .622; p < .002; r = -.759; p < .001) and body fat mass (r = .595; p < .003; r = -.736; p < .001) with 10 and 40-yard sprints respectively. Body fat percentage (r = .659; p < .001) and body fat mass (r = .638; p < .001) also correlated with pro-agility. Our results support earlier research by showing a direct correlation between body composition and power attributes and performance in American football. Coaches were advised to pay attention to body adiposity in terms of a decline in physical performance for this reason.

Aim: This research was conducted to determine whether physical activity had an effect on the levels of depression and psychological well-being. Material and Method: In this research, the single group pre-test post-test model which is one of the trial models was used for the purpose of determining the causal relationship. The study group is composed of 43 sedentary volunteer students (nMales = 9, nFemales = 34; age 20.86±1.04 years) pursuing their education at the Emergency Medical Technician Program in the Vocational School of Health Services at the Kırşehir Ahi Evran University. The heights and body weights of the study group are measured and they are asked to fill out the “Personal Identification Form”. The 10-week physical activity program was explained to the students. For the purpose of determining their levels of depression before and after the physical activity, the “Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)” was used, and to measure their psychological development, the “Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS)” was used. The descriptive statistics were provided. Later on, the normality assumption was checked out. In the consequence of this assumption, the researcher decided to conduct the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The data is tested at the level of significance of α = 0.05. The researcher obtained permission from both the related institution and the ethical board. Results: The BDI pre-test results of the students indicate that the male students had minimal level of depression (0-9) and the female students had slight level of depression (10-16). In terms of the study group, while the students were found to have slight level of depression in terms of their BDI pre-test scores, it was observed that the students had minimal level of depression in terms of their post-test scores. At the same time, the scores of the pre-test and post-test PWBS score increased from 49.89 to 53.33 for males, and from 41.94 to 43.94 for females. In sum, those scores increased from 43.60 to 45.91. A significant difference (p < 0.05) in both BDI and PWBS between the pre-test and post-test was observed. While the depression levels of the students decreased, their psychological well-being levels increased. Conclusion and Suggestions: The 10-week physical activity program caused an improvement both at the levels of depression and psychological well-being. Therefore, sparing some time for physical activity is suggested for our psychological health on a daily basis. Do not forget: “physical activity is going to benefit people”.
目的:本研究旨在确定体育活动是否对抑郁水平和心理健康有影响。材料与方法:本研究采用试验模型之一的单组前测后测模型来确定因果关系。研究小组由43名久坐不动的志愿者学生组成(男9名,女34名;年龄20.86±1.04岁),在Kırşehir Ahi Evran大学卫生服务职业学校的紧急医疗技术员项目中学习。测量了研究组的身高和体重,并要求他们填写“个人身份识别表”。向学生们讲解了为期10周的体育锻炼计划。采用贝克抑郁量表(BDI)测定运动前后的抑郁水平,采用心理健康量表(PWBS)测定运动前后的抑郁水平。提供了描述性统计数据。后来,正态性假设被验证了。基于这一假设,研究者决定进行Wilcoxon Signed Ranks检验。数据在α = 0.05的显著性水平上进行检验。研究者获得了相关机构和伦理委员会的许可。结果:学生BDI预测结果显示,男学生抑郁程度为轻度(0-9),女学生抑郁程度为轻度(10-16)。就研究小组而言,虽然学生们在BDI测试前的得分上有轻微的抑郁,但在测试后的得分上,学生们的抑郁程度是最低的。与此同时,测试前和测试后PWBS得分男性从49.89上升到53.33,女性从41.94上升到43.94。总而言之,这些分数从43.60上升到45.91。测试前后BDI和PWBS比较,差异均有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。虽然学生的抑郁程度有所下降,但他们的心理健康水平却有所提高。结论与建议:为期10周的体育锻炼计划在抑郁水平和心理健康水平上都有改善。因此,为了我们的心理健康,建议每天留出一些时间进行体育活动。不要忘记:“体育活动将造福于人”。

Considering problem-solving ability as an important qualification in the 21st century that could be developed by instructional methods that allow learners to construct their knowledge via questioning through cooperative learning activities, we conducted action research with the purpose of investigating the effectiveness of inquiry-based and cooperative learning on grade 10 students’ problem-solving ability and studying students’ satisfaction with inquiry-based and cooperative learning in developing their problem-solving ability. The participants were 7 grade 4 students in the Thai educational context. They were selected from a class of 20 students using the results of a placement test. The instruments were a learning management plan designed using the integration of inquiry-based learning and cooperative learning, a problem-solving ability evaluation form, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The data was analyzed using the statistics of percentage, mean score, and standard deviation. The result shows that the integration of the two methods was beneficial in improving the problem-solving skills of the majority of the participants. Participants were also satisfied with learning management throughout the semester it was implemented.

Participants were also satisfied with learning management throughout the semester it was implemented.","PeriodicalId":314203,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational Issues","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129920429","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 research purposes for encouraging study of social and emotion intelligence (S+EI) for secondary school students. Also, this research studied the developing aware of oneself and others in the present and utilising that awareness to manage oneself (our behaviour, our responses to difficult or demanding situations) and our relationships with others in deference age and gender to find the result of self-awareness between two groups of students including students who have learnt self-managing social and emotion and students who have studied in traditional way. The methodologies that used in this research are composed of the study plan that encourages development of intelligence for secondary school students by observing behaviour of both social and emotion, observing individual behaviour, and doing questionnaire about social and emotion by adopting statistic, frequency, and percentages to evaluate. The researcher found that students from Mahasarakham University Demonstration school (Secondary school) who have learnt to manage their social and emotion have different result of developing their social and emotion intelligence according to different study period, gender, and age. Therefore, students who have different learning styles had different self-awareness learning outcomes at the statistical significance level of .05.

The objectives of these mixed methods were to 1) improve students’ performance in calculus by using GeoGebra software and 2) investigate students’ experiences with and perspectives on using GeoGebra software in calculus. The participants were 58 mathematics teacher students at a university in Thailand. The instruments in this study were a test; this was called the Calculus Achievement Test (CAT), which consists of limits and continuity; a derivative of function; and its application; and a questionnaire with an interview with a student. The statistics for qualitative data were gathered from instruction; we used percentages, mean scores, standard deviations, and a one-sample t-test; while quantitative data was gathered from students’ reflections and interviews. The results showed: 1) the results of the one-sample t-test show that using GeoGebra Software in Calculus is effective in students’ performance; 2) the data, the quantitative findings show that students were more interested and excited during the intervention. Students could better show their creativity and learn about themselves because of the intervention. Teaching calculus with GeoGebra embedded is a good and effective way to do things. The finding shows a good chance of developing technology-integrated math curricula for teaching and learning calculus.
