This study examined the comparative effects of individual and collaborative game-based learning approaches on the development of English spelling skills among young learners, addressing the persistent difficulty that children encounter in mastering English orthography. Conducted in a private elementary school in northern Iran, the research involved 50 Persian-speaking students aged 9–11 who were divided into three groups: an individual game group (n = 18), a collaborative game group (n = 16), and a control group (n = 16) receiving traditional instruction. A quantitative quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test control-group design was employed, explicitly allowing comparisons among all three instructional conditions to determine not only whether differences existed but also which approach produced the greatest learning gains. Data were analyzed using a mixed between-within groups ANOVA. Results revealed significant improvements in spelling across all groups, with the collaborative game-based group showing the greatest progress, supporting the view that peer interaction and shared problem-solving facilitate orthographic learning more effectively than independent or traditional practice. These findings underscore the pedagogical value of integrating collaborative digital and classroom-based games into young-learner English curricula, thereby contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) through promoting active, equitable, and engaging learning environments. The study highlights the potential of collaborative educational games to strengthen spelling proficiency and learner motivation in EFL contexts.

本研究考察了个人和合作游戏学习方法对幼儿英语拼写技能发展的比较效果，解决了儿童在掌握英语正字法时遇到的持续困难。这项研究在伊朗北部的一所私立小学进行，涉及50名9-11岁的波斯语学生，他们被分为三组：个人游戏组（n = 18），合作游戏组（n = 16）和接受传统教学的对照组（n = 16）。采用定量准实验前测/后测控制组设计，明确允许在所有三种教学条件之间进行比较，不仅确定是否存在差异，而且确定哪种方法产生最大的学习收益。数据分析采用混合组内方差分析。结果显示，所有小组在拼写方面都有了显著的进步，以合作游戏为基础的小组取得了最大的进步，这支持了同伴互动和共同解决问题比独立或传统练习更有效地促进拼写学习的观点。这些发现强调了将协作式数字游戏和课堂游戏整合到年轻学习者的英语课程中的教学价值，从而通过促进积极、公平和有吸引力的学习环境，为可持续发展目标4（优质教育）做出贡献。本研究强调了合作教育游戏在英语语境中增强拼写能力和学习者动机的潜力。

There are notable differences in poverty between the lowland and highland agroecological zones in East Javan agricultural households. Geographic isolation, land fragmentation, and unequal access to infrastructure and technology all play a role in worsening poverty. This study uses raw data from the 2023 Agricultural Census and applies binary logistic regression to explore what factors contribute to poverty among farming households. The results show that poverty is more likely to occur in households led by someone under 40 years old (OR: 1.822), with low levels of education (OR: 1.378), with five or more family members (OR: 5.378), those working in informal jobs, owning little or no land, and not using modern technology. The impact is especially strong in certain areas: in the highland regions of Batu, Malang, Magetan, Bondowoso, and Lumajang, poverty risk is over seven times higher (OR: 7.052) due to a combination of these challenges and population pressure. On the other hand, technology adoption lowers poverty by 78 % (OR: 0.221) in the lowland regions of Lamongan, Bojonegoro, Sidoarjo, Probolinggo, and Pasuruan. Interestingly, while extended working hours significantly reduce poverty in lowland areas supported by better infrastructure, they fail to mitigate poverty in mountainous regions due to land degradation. Targeted interventions, highland infrastructure rehabilitation, and lowland areas' accelerated agricultural digitalization are the main policy implications.

东爪哇低地和高地农业生态区农户的贫困状况存在显著差异。地理隔离、土地碎片化以及获得基础设施和技术的机会不平等都在加剧贫困方面发挥了作用。本研究使用2023年农业普查的原始数据，并运用二元逻辑回归来探讨农户贫困的因素。结果表明，家庭成员年龄在40岁以下（OR: 1.822）、受教育程度较低（OR: 1.378）、家庭成员在5人以上（OR: 5.378）、从事非正式工作、拥有很少或没有土地、不使用现代技术的家庭更容易发生贫困。这种影响在某些地区尤其强烈：在巴图、玛琅、马吉丹、邦多沃索和卢马江的高地地区，由于这些挑战和人口压力的综合作用，贫困风险高出七倍以上（OR: 7.052）。另一方面，在Lamongan、Bojonegoro、Sidoarjo、Probolinggo和Pasuruan等低地地区，技术的采用使贫困降低了78% （OR: 0.221）。有趣的是，虽然延长工作时间在更好的基础设施支持下显著减少了低地地区的贫困，但由于土地退化，它们未能减轻山区的贫困。有针对性的干预措施、高原基础设施的修复和低地地区农业数字化的加速是主要的政策影响。

The Yogyakarta Cosmological Axis, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023, provides a critical lens on how subnational paradiplomacy operates in heritage governance. This study aims to identify and analyze the role of paradiplomacy in cultural heritage preservation through the Cosmological Axis of Yogyakarta case. In this case, the initiative was driven by subnational actors—particularly the Yogyakarta provincial government and cultural institutions—who mobilized local resources, legal frameworks, and cultural legitimacy to propose and manage the nomination. This configuration introduced a multi-layered governance dynamic as subnational actors engaged with international heritage frameworks. Using qualitative methods, including field observation and in-depth interviews, this research reveals how Yogyakarta leveraged international networks and aligned local planning instruments with UNESCO's criteria to translate Javanese cosmology into a globally legible heritage framework. While operating within a national system that grants no formal diplomatic authority to regions, these actors advanced cultural diplomacy through strategic negotiation and institutional innovation. The findings highlight both the agency and the constraints of subnational diplomacy and its mixed local impacts—shifting governance structures, contested spatial planning, and uneven community benefits. This study advances debates on paradiplomacy and cultural governance by demonstrating how subnational diplomacy can secure global recognition while maintaining cultural sovereignty in the Global South context.

日惹宇宙轴于2023年被列入联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》，为了解地方副外交如何在遗产治理中发挥作用提供了一个重要视角。本研究旨在透过日惹的宇宙轴案例，找出并分析副外交在文化遗产保护中的作用。在这种情况下，该倡议是由地方行动者推动的，特别是日惹省政府和文化机构，他们调动地方资源、法律框架和文化合法性来提出和管理提名。随着次国家行为体参与国际遗产框架，这种配置引入了多层次的治理动态。本研究采用定性方法，包括实地观察和深入访谈，揭示了日惹如何利用国际网络，并将当地规划工具与联合国教科文组织的标准相结合，将爪哇宇宙观转化为全球可读的遗产框架。虽然这些行为体在国家体系内运作，不赋予地区正式的外交权力，但它们通过战略谈判和制度创新推进了文化外交。研究结果强调了地方外交的机构和制约因素及其对地方的混合影响——不断变化的治理结构、有争议的空间规划和不平衡的社区利益。本研究通过展示次国家外交如何在全球南方背景下确保全球认可的同时保持文化主权，推进了关于准外交和文化治理的辩论。

While classroom interaction has been extensively examined in language education, studies remain scarce in the Ethiopian tertiary EFL context. This research explored the types and communicative functions of teacher talk used during speaking lessons, with particular attention to how interaction unfolded through the Initiation–Response–Feedback (IRF) structure. Framed within a constructivist paradigm, the study drew on classroom observations and interviews to analyze teacher talk using the FLINT system and Sinclair and Coulthard's IRF model. The findings revealed that teacher discourse was dominated by direct initiation moves, particularly informing, which led classroom talk in a largely teacher-centred manner. Although some indirect strategies, notably questioning for elicitation, were employed, these often failed to prompt extended student responses, resulting in truncated or incomplete IRF cycles. The response and feedback phases were often omitted, which limited opportunities for dialogic engagement and learner uptake. This suggests that teachers' attempts at interaction were not always aligned with the real-time dynamics of the classroom, as their input lacked contextual adaptation and comprehensible scaffolding. The study argues that adopting recommended talk types alone is insufficient unless grounded in an awareness of how communicative functions operate within specific classroom exchanges. To promote effective classroom interaction, instructors must develop adaptive expertise in managing IRF patterns more strategically—particularly by balancing informative input with responsive questioning and meaningful feedback that can sustain learner involvement and support language development.

虽然课堂互动在语言教育中已经得到了广泛的研究，但在埃塞俄比亚高等教育英语语境下的研究仍然很少。本研究探讨了教师在口语课中使用的话语的类型和交际功能，特别关注如何通过发起-反应-反馈（IRF）结构展开互动。在建构主义范式的框架内，该研究利用课堂观察和访谈来分析教师的谈话，使用FLINT系统和辛克莱和库特哈德的IRF模型。研究结果显示，教师话语主要是由直接的启动动作，特别是告知，这导致课堂谈话在很大程度上以教师为中心的方式。虽然采用了一些间接策略，特别是为了启发而提问，但这些策略往往不能促使学生延长反应时间，导致IRF周期被截断或不完整。响应和反馈阶段往往被忽略，这限制了对话参与和学习者吸收的机会。这表明教师在互动方面的尝试并不总是与课堂的实时动态保持一致，因为他们的输入缺乏上下文适应和可理解的框架。该研究认为，仅采用推荐的谈话类型是不够的，除非基于对特定课堂交流中交际功能如何运作的认识。为了促进有效的课堂互动，教师必须培养适应性的专业知识，以更有策略地管理IRF模式，特别是通过平衡信息输入与响应性问题和有意义的反馈，以维持学习者的参与和支持语言发展。

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), especially those in the culinary sector, play an important role in Indonesia, to the extent that the government encourages them to digitize and expand their markets. GoBiz—a part of the Gojek digital mobile commerce (m-commerce) ecosystem—is one of the technologies supporting the digital transformation of culinary sector MSMEs. This study aimed to analyze the acceptance of m-commerce use among MSMEs in the culinary sector. The unified theory of acceptance and technology version 2 was used, which we extended by including the type of MSME as a moderating factor. This study employed a quantitative approach using an online questionnaire completed by 400 culinary MSMEs who used m-commerce and a qualitative approach through interviews with 30 such MSMEs (purposive sampling). Partial least square structural equation modeling was used for the quantitative data processing, while content analysis was employed for that of the qualitative data. The results showed that facilitating conditions, effort expectancy, social influence, price value, and trust significantly influenced m-commerce use, whereas performance expectancy alone did not. Similarly, intention to use influenced the actual use of m-commerce, but SME size did not moderate the relationship between intention to use and actual use of m-commerce. The results of this study can be used by merchant app providers to develop m-commerce by improving services to support MSMEs in the culinary sector.

中小微企业（MSMEs），尤其是烹饪行业的中小微企业，在印尼发挥着重要作用，政府鼓励他们数字化并扩大市场。gobiz是Gojek数字移动商务（m-commerce）生态系统的一部分，是支持烹饪行业中小微企业数字化转型的技术之一。本研究旨在分析烹饪行业中小微企业对移动商务使用的接受程度。我们使用了统一的接受和技术理论版本2，我们通过将中小微企业的类型作为调节因素进行了扩展。本研究采用定量方法，通过400家使用移动商务的烹饪中小微企业完成在线问卷调查，并通过对30家此类中小微企业的访谈（目的抽样）采用定性方法。定量数据处理采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型，定性数据处理采用内容分析。结果表明，便利条件、努力期望、社会影响、价格价值和信任显著影响移动商务的使用，而绩效期望本身没有影响。同样，使用意向影响移动商务的实际使用，但中小企业规模并没有调节使用意向与移动商务实际使用之间的关系。商家应用程序提供商可以利用本研究的结果，通过改善服务来支持烹饪行业的中小微企业，从而发展移动商务。

This study examines modification to Kolb's Experiential Learning (EL) model in pre-service teacher (PST) education programs, utilizing the Delphi method to achieve expert consensus on its effectiveness and relevance. While EL is widely recognized for bridging theory and practice, previous implementations often lack the specificity and flexibility needed to meet modern educational demands. Building on the modifications proposed by Miller and Maellaro (2016), this study introduces adjustments across all stages of the model: Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation. Through two rounds of data collection involving expert educators, the study identifies key modifications that better align the EL model with the needs of pre-service teachers. These modifications include integrating learning objectives and educational research into the Concrete Experience, root cause analysis and team reflection in the Reflective Observation, introducing primary and predicate abstraction into Abstract Conceptualization, and applying the 4F model (Facts, Feelings, Findings, and Future) to the Active Experimentation. Findings indicate strong support for incorporation of research-based strategies and collaborative practices, both of which foster critical thinking and reflective teaching. The study underscores the importance of expert consensus in refining educational models and provides a structured approach for adapting EL to teacher education. These modifications aim to enhance the preparation of PSTs by providing evidence-based, relevant and collaborative learning experiences that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Further research is needed to test the applicability and effectiveness of these modifications in real-world educational settings.

本研究考察了Kolb的体验式学习（EL）模型在职前教师（PST）教育计划中的修改，利用德尔菲法来达成专家对其有效性和相关性的共识。虽然语言学习被广泛认为是理论和实践的桥梁，但以前的实现往往缺乏满足现代教育需求所需的特异性和灵活性。在Miller和Maellaro（2016）提出的修改基础上，本研究引入了模型所有阶段的调整：具体经验、反思性观察、抽象概念化和主动实验。通过涉及专家教育工作者的两轮数据收集，该研究确定了使EL模型更好地符合职前教师需求的关键修改。这些修改包括将学习目标和教育研究整合到具体经验中，在反思性观察中进行根本原因分析和团队反思，在抽象概念化中引入主谓抽象，并将4F模型（事实、感受、发现和未来）应用到主动实验中。研究结果表明，大力支持将基于研究的策略和协作实践结合起来，这两者都能培养批判性思维和反思性教学。该研究强调了专家共识在完善教育模式中的重要性，并提供了一种结构化的方法来使英语适应教师教育。这些修改旨在通过提供基于证据的、相关的和协作的学习经验，弥合理论与实践之间的差距，从而加强PSTs的编制。需要进一步的研究来测试这些修改在现实教育环境中的适用性和有效性。

The study underscores the importance of expert consensus in refining educational models and provides a structured approach for adapting EL to teacher education. These modifications aim to enhance the preparation of PSTs by providing evidence-based, relevant and collaborative learning experiences that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Further research is needed to test the applicability and effectiveness of these modifications in real-world educational settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74826,"journal":{"name":"Social sciences & humanities open","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 102335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145791620","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 an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various sectors, its integration into education presents both opportunities and challenges that warrant careful examination. This study explores the perspectives of science faculty members across different generational cohorts on the integration of generative AI (GenAI) in education in the Philippines, aiming to identify targeted areas for improvement. Utilizing a phenomenological approach with a cross-sectional design, the research involved semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 20 faculty members categorized into Generations X, Y (Millennials), and Z. The study sought to understand their knowledge, attitudes, perceived benefits, challenges, ethical concerns, and policy recommendations related to the integration of GenAI in science education. The results indicate varied familiarity with GenAI tools among the generations, with Gen X demonstrating moderate awareness but limited application and some resistance, Gen Y exhibiting diverse uses and concerns, especially in ethics, and Gen Z showing high awareness but perceived minimal practical engagement and confidence. Participants viewed GenAI as beneficial for enhancing efficiency and providing innovative learning tools, yet they also identified challenges such as over-dependence on technology, privacy-related ethical issues, and disparities in access. The study highlights the need for professional development, ethical guidelines, and infrastructure upgrades to ensure equitable GenAI integration. These findings offer valuable insights for developing effective strategies that harness the potential of GenAI while addressing generational differences, ultimately promoting a more seamless and inclusive educational environment.

在人工智能（AI）正在改变各个领域的时代，它与教育的融合带来了机遇和挑战，值得仔细研究。本研究探讨了不同世代的科学教师对菲律宾教育中生成式人工智能（GenAI）整合的看法，旨在确定需要改进的目标领域。本研究采用现象学方法和横断面设计，对20位被划分为X世代、Y世代（千禧一代）和z世代的教师进行了半结构化的深度访谈。该研究试图了解他们的知识、态度、感知到的好处、挑战、伦理问题以及与基因人工智能在科学教育中的整合相关的政策建议。结果表明，各代人对基因人工智能工具的熟悉程度各不相同，X代人对基因人工智能工具的了解程度一般，但应用有限，并有一些抵制；Y代人对基因人工智能工具的使用和关注程度各不相同，尤其是在伦理方面；Z代人对基因人工智能工具的了解程度很高，但实际参与和信心很少。与会者认为基因人工智能有助于提高效率和提供创新的学习工具，但他们也发现了诸如对技术的过度依赖、与隐私相关的伦理问题以及获取方面的差异等挑战。该研究强调了专业发展、道德准则和基础设施升级的必要性，以确保公平的GenAI整合。这些发现为制定有效的战略提供了宝贵的见解，这些战略可以利用GenAI的潜力，同时解决代际差异，最终促进更加无缝和包容的教育环境。

Background/purpose

Health disparities persist among Black and Indigenous communities in Canada, despite national efforts to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion. These disparities are particularly pronounced in the management of chronic diseases and mental health conditions. Ethnic concordance and discordance may influence health outcomes. This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of patient–physician ethnic concordance and discordance on the management of chronic diseases and mental health conditions among Black and Indigenous patients.

Methods

This review followed the PRISMA guidelines and was registered with PROSPERO. A university librarian conducted a comprehensive literature search. Eligible studies included peer-reviewed quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies. All screening stages were performed independently by four reviewers in COVIDENCE, with discrepancies resolved by a separate author.

Results

Of 6826 records screened, 24 studies were included (22 on Black patients, two on Indigenous patients). Evidence suggested that concordant care improved select outcomes, including blood pressure control, medication adherence, HIV testing uptake, pain assessment, and referrals to traditional healing. Interpersonal outcomes such as communication, trust, and perceptions of providers were also consistently stronger in concordant relationships. However, effects on disease prevention, monitoring, and overall clinical outcomes were largely inconsistent. The small number of studies limited findings for Indigenous populations.

Discussion

The overall impact of ethnic concordance on chronic disease and mental health management appears limited. Our findings do not demonstrate a consistent association between concordance and clinical outcomes. Addressing health inequities may require broader systemic and structural interventions, including improving access to high-quality care, mitigating institutional bias, and strengthening the capacity of minority-serving healthcare settings.

背景/目的尽管国家努力促进公平、多样性和包容性，但加拿大黑人和土著社区之间的健康差距仍然存在。这些差异在慢性病和精神健康状况的管理方面尤为明显。种族一致性和不一致性可能影响健康结果。本系统回顾旨在评估患者-医生种族一致性和不一致性对黑人和土著患者慢性疾病和心理健康状况管理的影响。方法本综述遵循PRISMA指南，在PROSPERO注册。一位大学图书管理员进行了一次全面的文献检索。符合条件的研究包括同行评议的定量、定性和混合方法研究。在covid - 19中，所有筛选阶段均由四名审稿人独立完成，差异由单独的作者解决。结果在筛选的6826份记录中，包括24项研究（22项针对黑人患者，2项针对土著患者）。有证据表明，和谐护理改善了一些结果，包括血压控制、药物依从性、HIV检测吸收、疼痛评估和转介到传统治疗。在和谐的关系中，沟通、信任和对提供者的感知等人际关系结果也始终更强。然而，对疾病预防、监测和总体临床结果的影响在很大程度上是不一致的。为数不多的研究限制了对土著居民的研究结果。种族一致性对慢性疾病和心理健康管理的总体影响似乎有限。我们的研究结果并没有证明一致性和临床结果之间存在一致的联系。解决卫生不公平问题可能需要更广泛的系统性和结构性干预措施，包括改善获得高质量护理的机会，减轻体制偏见，以及加强为少数群体服务的卫生保健机构的能力。

Background/objective

Talent management is one of the most crucial factors in an organization's success in today's complex and competitive environment. This study aims to design and explain an integrated talent management model based on a good governance approach for Jahad Daneshgahi.

Methods

This research used the grounded theory method and the Strauss and Corbin approach. Theoretical sampling was employed to select managers and human resource experts from Jahad Daneshgahi, and data collection continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. Research data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 human resources experts, organizational managers, and university professors, and analyzed in three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. From 345 initial codes, categories related to the three aforementioned axes were identified and categorized.

Results

Contextual factors, including organizational culture and climate, leadership style, resources and facilities, Knowledge integration, and organizational structure, serve as key infrastructures that provide the basis for effective talent management. Intervening factors, such as Internal organizational challenges, organizational dynamics, and changes, as well as external factors, play a dual role as either facilitator or obstacle, depending on the circumstances. Implementation strategies, such as enhancing the workplace, strengthening organizational communication, promoting employee development and empowerment, and fostering innovation and creativity, can improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness by leveraging contextual capacities and mitigating obstacles.

Conclusion

The proposed research model in this study presents an integrated view of the triple nexus of contextual, intervening, and strategic factors within the framework of good governance, thereby enhancing human resource performance, organizational productivity, and effectiveness.

背景/目标在当今复杂的竞争环境中，人才管理是组织成功的最关键因素之一。本研究旨在设计并解释基于善治方法的Jahad Daneshgahi综合人才管理模型。方法本研究采用扎根理论方法和Strauss和Corbin方法。采用理论抽样的方法选择Jahad Daneshgahi的管理人员和人力资源专家，并继续收集数据，直到达到理论饱和。通过对12位人力资源专家、组织经理和大学教授的半结构化访谈收集研究数据，并将研究数据分为开放编码、轴向编码和选择性编码三个阶段进行分析。从345个初始代码中，确定并分类了与上述三个轴相关的类别。结果组织文化与氛围、领导风格、资源与设施、知识整合、组织结构等情境因素是实施有效人才管理的关键基础。干预因素，如组织内部挑战、组织动态和变化，以及外部因素，根据具体情况发挥促进或阻碍的双重作用。实施战略，如加强工作场所，加强组织沟通，促进员工发展和授权，以及培育创新和创造力，可以通过利用上下文能力和减轻障碍来提高组织效率和有效性。本研究提出的研究模型综合考虑了良好治理框架内情境因素、干预因素和战略因素的三重关系，从而提高人力资源绩效、组织生产力和有效性。
