Understanding the nature of science (NOS) is one of the main components for science students to be science literate people. It is also important for science teacher students to develop their NOS understanding to be relevant to an informed view. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of Inquiry process learning activities through a reflective explicit approach and the history of scientists on science student teachers, understanding NOS through mixed-method research. The samples were 35 science student teachers in the general science program at Yala Rajabhat University, Thailand. The research instruments included (1) inquiry-based learning through the reflective explicit approach and the history of scientists lesson plans, (2) the NOS understanding questionnaire, and (3) a semi-structured interview about the NOS understanding. The data were statistically analyzed in terms of percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test dependent samples, and content analysis. The results revealed that the mean scores of the NOS understanding of the science teacher students taking part in the inquiry-based learning activities through the reflective explicit approach and the history of scientists after learning were higher than those before learning, with the statistical significance at .05. After the learning, most of the students had informed view (IV) of all NOS aspect. The research suggests that Inquiry-based learning activities through the reflective explicit approach and the history of scientists can promote an understanding of the nature of science. It should be used in science learning management to develop students' understanding of the nature of science. Keywords: nature of science, the inquiry process, reflective explicit approach, history of scientists, learning activities
了解科学的本质（NOS）是理科学生成为有科学素养的人的主要组成部分之一。对于理科师范生来说，发展他们对科学本质的理解，使之与知情观点相关也很重要。因此，本研究通过混合方法研究，调查了通过反思性显性方法开展的探究过程学习活动和科学家的历史对科学学生教师理解 NOS 的影响。样本为泰国亚拉拉贾巴特大学普通科学课程的 35 名科学学生教师。研究工具包括：(1) 通过反思明确法和科学家史教案进行探究式学习；(2) NOS 理解问卷；(3) 关于 NOS 理解的半结构式访谈。数据的统计分析包括百分比、平均值、标准差、因果样本 t 检验和内容分析。结果显示，通过反思性显性方法和科学家历史参加探究式学习活动的科学师范生在学习后对 NOS 理解的平均分高于学习前，统计显著性为 0.05。学习后，大多数学生对所有 NOS 方面都有了知情观点（IV）。研究表明，通过显性反思法和科学家史开展探究式学习活动可以促进学生对科学本质的理解。在科学学习管理中应使用这种方法来培养学生对科学本质的理解。关键词：科学本质；探究过程；反思显性法；科学家史；学习活动

Memorization is a crucial factor in effective learning and achieving educational goals. Recent research has suggested that short video sequences viewed by students before class can aid in acquiring and retaining basic concepts, thereby improving memorization and positively impacting the learning process in the flipped classroom approach. However, frequent use of digital tools among adolescents has been found to negatively impact cognitive functions such as memorization. It is worth noting that the traditional use of paper-based materials has been found to have a positive impact on memorization, particularly among learners who are easily distracted by digital devices or experience eye strain from prolonged screen use. Printed materials can offer a more tactile experience, allowing learners to physically highlight and annotate text, which can aid in the encoding and retrieval of information. This study aimed to assess the role of digital tools in the flipped classroom approach and determine if they could be substituted by paper-based materials. To achieve this, a comparative study was conducted between 35 students using digital tools in their flipped classroom (FCDS) and 31 students using paper-based materials (FCPS). The study involved administering pre-tests and post-tests to both groups to evaluate their ability to retrieve basic concepts and assess the effectiveness of their learning in life and earth sciences. The results indicate that learners were able to retrieve knowledge effectively regardless of the medium used and that the positive effect of the FCDS on recall during learning is comparable to that of the FCPS.

Flamenco dance is present not just in many regions of Spain but also throughout the world, including places as far as Japan. These diverse teaching contexts have led to disparate studies on flamenco teaching and learning processes. However, most of these studies differ from general theories of education; for example, there is no record of studies of flamenco applying implicit learning theories. Much like music and physical education, flamenco dance entails a type of procedural learning that can be based on different theories depending on whether the focus is on learning, teaching or educational evaluation. This study aims to disclose the presence of implicit theories (direct, interpretive and constructive) in these processes, and determine Spanish and Japanese dancers’ educational preferences in the classroom in connection with these theories, while exploring geographical and demographic characteristics. The results show that the situations extracted from the theories are present in the classroom, and that there is a clear connection between the country where dancers train professionally, and their age and gender. There are statistically significant differences that reveal the importance of the country with respect to the latter two characteristics. Overall, participants preferred constructivist situations. Given these results, more research should be carried out in this field. Keywords: teaching and learning processes, implicit learning theories, flamenco, teaching contexts, evaluation

The difference in family socioeconomic status (SES) is a common fact in modern society. The differentiation of family SES will affect the development of children, this phenomenon has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign researchers. The discussion on the relationship between family socioeconomic status and children's academic achievement has attracted much attention in the academic community, but existing research results are inconsistent. Little research is related to whether family socioeconomic status influences the relationship between parental involvement and children’s literacy development. The purpose of the quantitative study is to investigate whether family SES including family income and parents’ education level moderates the relationship between parental involvement and children literacy development. Participants comprised 388 children aged 3 to 6 years in Chinese and their parents. The results show family income directly moderated the relationship between parent-child literacy activities and children’s literacy achievement. Mother education moderated the relationship between parent-child literacy activities and literacy achievement directly. The relationship between home literacy materials and literacy achievement was moderated by mother education either. However, there is no significant moderating effect of a father’s education on the relationship between parental involvement and children’s independent literacy practice as well as literacy achievement in this study.

This study aims to determine the influence of teacher professional attitude, teacher welfare, teacher continuous self-development, and teacher job satisfaction on the performance of vocational high school teachers. This quantitative research used a correlational type. The sample of this research encompassed 155 vocational high school teachers, especially business and management teachers in Surakarta Residency, Central Java, Indonesia. The data were collected using a questionnaire which was tested for validity and reliability before being used. This research employed the Structural Equation Modelling analysis technique operated by Linear Structural Relationship. This study found that the teacher's professional attitude affected teacher welfare (t-count 5.27), but did not affect teacher continuous self-development (t-count 1.14), teacher job satisfaction (t-count -0.29), and teacher performance (t-count 0.55). Teacher welfare was confirmed to affect teacher continuous self-development (t-count of 2.94) and job satisfaction (t-count of 2.38), but not influence teacher performance (t-count -0.59). However, teacher continuous self-development was proven not to impact teacher job satisfaction (t-count value of 0.21) but impacted teacher performance (t-count value of 2.40). Meanwhile, job satisfaction had no impact on teacher performance (the t-count value of 1.53). The findings of this study can be used by policymakers to pay attention to improving teacher performance to the maximum and further researchers can examine other factors affecting teacher performance.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many college students, including low-income and racial minorities, experienced stressors related to their physical and psychological health, relationships, finances, and academic status. Moreover, most students had possessed difficulty previously in writing about their personal and communal identities and needs; exploring place-related rhetorics; and engaging in digital composition practices, including creating a website. This article presents an exploratory case study, which applies a mixed-methods approach employing a convergent-parallel strategy, involving an assignment where students used digital composition practices to build a website about a place, such as their hometown or a local park, that was important to them during the pandemic. The study involved 65 low socioeconomic status (SES) students from a rural university with a Native American subpopulation. For the assignment, students explored their identity and background, as well as how they and their location of choice were impacted by the pandemic. As outcomes of formulating a website about two difficult topics for the students to raise, their identity and the pandemic’s impact upon themselves as part of the greater, epic crisis, students learned to think critically; examine their personal and cultural pandemic-related concerns; research information about their place of choice; make creative decisions about their website; draft, compose, and revise digital work; and reflect upon their project. In completing a website about an important location as the study’s aim, students became more willing to consider their background and the pandemic’s impact on them and to gauge the 24 potentially related stressors they experienced tied to their physical and mental health, familial and social relationships, financial outlook, and academic goals. The author delineates the website assignment’s objectives, and both students and faculty raters measured students’ writing outcomes upon completing their site.

The ability to publish research papers is a must for scientists nowadays. Ideally, at the very beginning of their career, young researchers, PhD students, should be instructed in writing research papers and should get feedback on their texts. In this study, the first manuscripts from 22 doctoral students, non-native English speakers, 223 pages were analysed for errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style. For each type of error and each student, the average per page was calculated. The most frequent errors were identified in using articles, formal features, missing information, and the use of inappropriate words. Individual students showed significantly different levels, which reflected their previous language training and the approach (responsibility) to completing the task. The results will be used to modify the course in Academic Writing (more attention paid to the most frequent errors) and individual work with students.

As stated in the Research and Development Objectives 2020-2024 by BSKAP, it was agreed on the need to implement a correct and credible quality monitoring and evaluation system. For Primary and Secondary Education, it is determined that 100% of education units will carry out Competency Assessment (AK) and Character Surveys (SK) starting in 2021 by first developing and preparing relevant measuring tools along with indicators of AK-SK readiness in the future, its implementation in 2021 while trying implement the overall accreditation process automation policy. Therefore, performance assessment in these units requires other proxies of learning indicators which are considered to have functions equivalent to competency assessments and character surveys. Instead of direct field visits, if correct, mathematical modeling can be performed to derive measurement proxies derived from the PPA or IPV variables or a combination of both. Automation modeling has been applied to approximately 5,000 school samples by applying three alternative methods, namely Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Partial Least Square (PLS) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). PCA modeling was successfully used on 49 predictors without a response variable (Y); ii) PLS modeling was successfully applied to 49 predictors involving response variables; iii) CFA modeling has been successfully carried out on PPA and IPV one by one, because the combined modeling has not succeeded in producing an adequate model in the form of goodness of fit.

The pandemic has raised the students’ activities in finding income, ranging from entrepreneurship to investing intention. This study aims to determine the role of economic education and digital literacy on student investment interest in universities during the Covid-19 period. In the analytical model proposed, it is assumed that the financial attitude variable is a mediating variable in education and financial knowledge in investment intentions. Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior and Bandura’s Social Learning Theory was developed for the research model. The research adopted quantitative methods using survey research data from saturated sampling techniques. The participants in this study were students of Universitas Negeri Jakarta who are members of the Indonesian stock exchange investment gallery organization. From the 234 proposed questionnaires, 203 questionnaires were returned and filled out completely for data analysis. The study results confirmed the three hypotheses and rejected the four proposed hypotheses. Economic education affects student investment intentions and significantly affects financial attitudes. However, digital literacy affects students’ investment intentions but fails to shape investment intentions through financial attitudes. Another finding is that economic education and digital literacy have no effect on shaping financial attitudes, but financial attitudes influence students’ investment intentions during the pandemic. Keywords: economic education, digital literacy, intention to invest, financial attitudes, covid-19 period

This study aims to determine the role of economic education and digital literacy on student investment interest in universities during the Covid-19 period. In the analytical model proposed, it is assumed that the financial attitude variable is a mediating variable in education and financial knowledge in investment intentions. Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior and Bandura’s Social Learning Theory was developed for the research model. The research adopted quantitative methods using survey research data from saturated sampling techniques.

The covid-19 outbreak is spreading in the world fast, forcing states worldwide to transform into digital services, including education services. This study aims to investigate the design and challenges of Islamic universities in implementing HL. Hybrid Learning (HL) denotes a mixture of face-to-face (FTF) learning in the classroom with online learning through application assistance. In this study, the researcher used a qualitative descriptive method using open questions, documentation, and observation. In collecting data, researchers used critical reflection and triangulation. The study's results delineate that the HL design in Islamic universities in West Nusa Tenggara is imposed with FTF and online learning. Online learning design is prescribed using various features such as maximizing various applications, including zoom applications, LMS, Google Classroom, Whatsapp Group, etc. Students who savor online learning are students in the fifth semester and up, while students who undergo the FTF learning system are freshman and second-year students. This arrangement is because students in that semester have never felt the stall and orientation of lectures. Meanwhile, students who can make online appointments and FTF are those who are undergoing the final project. The challenges in HL include lecturers having difficulty constructing learning tools, students' low motivation and willingness to learn, unstable and unevenly distributed internet access, and students' economic conditions who experience difficulties. In FTF, lecturers and students have difficulty interacting because government policies prohibit crowds, social distancing, and must wear facemasks. Therefore, students, parents, and colleges must synergize to make the HL process successful. Keywords: hybrid learning, design, challenges, FTF, online learning, higher education
