ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH EDUCATION IN SECONDARY EDUCATION
No full textThe purpose of the present study was the investigation of the conditions under which the Environmental Education (Env.Ed.) and Health Education (H.E.) programs were implemented in Secondary Education in the Greek educational system, both nationwide and locally.The basis of this work was the statistical data collected after the distribution of a questionnaire on a nationwide scale in the school year 2018-19, and locally by the Directorate of Secondary Education of Chios, for the school years from 2014-15 to 2018-19. The above data were used to analyze and study the development of the programs over the years, the participation of the students in these programs and the impact of the programs on the adoption of new attitudes and behaviors on environmental and health issues by the students.The study showed that the highest number of students participating in both categories of programs was in the 2015-16 school year. From the analysis of the number of programs implemented in Gymnasiums (GYMN), General Lyceums (GEL) and Vocational Lyceums (EPAL) it is concluded that the number of Environmental Education programs far outweighs the other programs. Regarding Health Education programs, there was more interest and greater participation from Vocational Lyceums’ students compared to General Lyceums’ students. In terms of gender, the female students who participated in the programs of both categories outnumbered the male students.In conclusion, Environmental Education and Health Education programs have completed their third decade of implementation in Secondary Education of the Greek educational system. Despite the lack of funding, the lack of logistical infrastructure and the voluntary involvement of teachers and students, the programs continue to exist at a national level. The effect of these programs is beneficial, as it contributes to the adoption of a new ethical code and new behaviors by students towards environmental and health issues, after completing secondary education and in their later adult life
Genetic diversity of bat species in the cross-border area of Greece and Bulgaria
No full textBats form a diverse order of mammals with a crucial ecological role. Bat populations appear to be declining because of human-induced environmental stress. Genetic methods contribute to study the species’ diversity and assess their population status. We aimed to study the genetic diversity of bats across the Rhodope Mountain Range, where both species with a large distribution as well as rare species with a limited distribution are found. Βat samples were collected and morphologically identified within the catchment area of Nestos (Mesta) River and from caves in the region of Momchilgrad – Komotini. Based on the analysis of a mitochondrial COI gene region of 650 bp length, the samples were classified in 9 distinct genera and 21 species, an important part of Balkan bat species diversity. Miniopterus schreibersii displayed the highest number of haplotypes and Rhinolophus hipposideros the highest mtDNA diversity levels. The majority of the samples were grouped with other European sequences and no specific geographic distribution of haplotypes was observed, except for Barbastella barbastellus and Hypsugo savii, where a western/eastern divide is apparent. Three species with the most numerous samples were further analyzed using 4-5 microsatellite markers per species. No sign of population differentiation was found between studied samples for these three species and moderate to high diversity levels were detected for Rhinolophus blasii and Rhinolophus euryale in contrast to mitochondrial analysis. The results confirm the presence of specific bat species in the cross-border area of Greece and Bulgaria through genetic identification and provide information for levels of genetic variation for some of them that may contribute to future bat management efforts in the region
Educational Landscapes Through a Complexity Theory Lens: Using System Mapping to Investigate L2 Shakespeare Studies in Secondary Schools
No full textResearch interest in Shakespeare studies in mainstream English literature classrooms is a constant (Keilen Moschovakis, 2017). However, outside limited geographic regions of study (e.g., Germany), little is known about how Shakespeare is used to aid second language (L2) development—despite the ubiquitous attention Shakespeare’s works receive in L2 learning environments (Eisenmann Lütge, 2014). To address this gap, this study employs complex dynamic systems theory as an explanatory framework and adopts a system mapping approach (Fogal, 2022; Ludlow et al., 2017) to investigate how relevant stakeholders are seen to view Shakespeare studies as a tool for mediating L2 development across the teaching, learning, and administrative landscapes of a set of secondary schools in the Canadian province of Ontario. Findings describe stakeholders’ views as variegated and outline meaningful differences in how constituent groups interpret L2 Shakespeare studies. This work outlines recommendations for steering change that may foster L2 learning and initiates an agenda for continued research into how best to operationalize Shakespeare studies in ways that foster co-adaptive and emergent processes in the service of localized educational contexts. This study appeals to education scholars curious about the value of complex dynamic systems theory, L2 researchers interested in how literary studies can assist L2 learning, and instructors and curriculum designers focused on better understanding the landscape of L2 Shakespeare studies (and by extension, L2 literature studies) in the secondary school context.

A Dynamic Usage Based Perspective of Bilingual Children’s VAC Development in English
No full textThis article focuses on the effect of home educational activities on the first language (L1) English development of two bilingual children. Their development is approached from a usage-based and a dynamic systems perspective, investigating both the relationship between input and production, and the individual learning trajectories of both children. The article heeds recent calls to investigate the development of verb-argument-constructions (VACs) longitudinally in individual learners. Two simultaneous bilingual children, learning English and Mandarin as L1s and aged 3;8.28 and 3;7.15 at the start of the investigation, were recorded every two-three weeks for about one year while taking part in home educational activities such as shared-book reading. All verbs and their frequencies used in verb-direct object VACs in input and production were extracted and their development investigated. Results confirm both usage-based and dynamic assumptions on language learning. In line with usage-based assumptions, both input and production VAC verb frequencies were Zipfian, each child followed their own input more closely than the other child’s input, and production began with using the more frequent verbs before diversification. In line with dynamic assumptions, the children show individual differences in the variability of VAC verb use and the amount of verb diversification, with the more proficient child (as measured at pre-test) exhibiting higher variability and diversification. This underscores the complementary nature of group and individual studies and attests to the importance of the shape of the input for individual development. Moreover, it shows that development is individually owned, with some learners showing more variability than others. Keywords: verb-argument-constructions, early English learning, complex dynamical systems theory, usage-based theory
On the Use of Agent-Based Models as Teaching Tools and Their Impact on the Characterization of Student-System Interaction
No full textAs the study of complex systems expands, new frameworks in which methodologies from different sciences may collaborate more naturally are needed. This work presents the utilization of agent-based models as a core tool for a research project in which the principalobjective is to characterize high-school students’ performance while facing different representations of complex systems. It is described how the agent-based model helped with the communication between educational science and computer science researchers involved in the project. Also, a new educational research perspective consisting of students’ data collection is shown in this work. This new perspective intends to support qualitative analysesof educational methodologies with quantitative visualizations resulting of learning processes.Keywords: agent-based models, complexity, education, interactions, dat
The Origins of Rome from Cassius Dio to the Suda Lexicon: Romulus and the she-wolf
No full textCassius Dio’s Roman history was a landmark for Byzantine historiography. However, due to the fragmentary knowledge of the books devoted to the origins of Rome, it is difficult to assess the historian’s contribution in rewriting the mythical origins of Rome in Byzantium. The analysis of one episode, the one relating to the prodigious survival of Romulus (and Remus) through the intervention of the she-wolf, is proposed as a case study. While through a citation of Eustatius of Thessalonica we know that certainly Dio wrote about it, that same episode is not always handed down in Byzantine historiography, as it is evidenced by Malalas’ Chronographiae and the authors who used him as their source. Eventually, it is proposed that at least a double tradition on the mythical survival of Romulus could be identified in Byzantine historians. It is possible that for both traditions historical works belonging to the Severan age, written in Greek, were consulted in Byzantium.
