Error Analysis in English Writing by Chinese Graduate Students with Non-English Majors Pursuing Master’s Degrees: Insights from a Descriptive Linguistics
Full text linkBased on quantitative and qualitative research methods, this study explores the types of errors in English writing for non-English major graduate students in the Chinese context and the intervention in English writing teaching from the perspective of descriptive linguistics. To be specific, 59 non-English major graduate students from a university in eastern China were randomly selected for two writing samples, which were reviewed by 4 professional teachers. The consistency and difference of grading results were tested by different teachers to the same sample. Based on the mean value, the types of high frequency errors were obtained, and the teaching intervention was proposed from the perspective of descriptive linguistics. The results show that: (1) There is little difference in the grading results of the same sample, and there is a high consistency; (2) In the results of consistency testing and differential analysis of the two samples, Lexical Errors and Discourse Errors may occur more frequently, but after considering the Arithmetic Means and the above analysis results, Discourse Errors rate is the highest in the grading results; (3) The genre-based process English writing teaching intervention has benefited the non-English major graduate students greatly in English writing in the Chinese context
Integrated Management of Urban and Rural Crises (Challenges and Solutions)
Full text linkMan today sees the future horizon farther than yesterday, and maybe because of this, his challenge has increased. Despite having a broad vision and the progress of science, he is incapable of predicting the time of crisis, today's cultured person uses the knowledge of crisis management, and what can lead him to continuous improvement is attention to process management. In the new paradigm, the approach to improving processes and systems is a scientific approach that is considered the philosophy and principles of comprehensive quality management. The important features and shortcomings of the Najaf Abad region, which are obtained from the analysis of the current situation and its developments, can be summarized in the following cases: Failure to deal with the Najaf Abad region as a single element, considering the integrity of the elements of the region. The economic imbalance between Najaf Abad region and other regions of the province has led to a heavy migration to Najaf Abad city, to unstable hierarchical system of population settlement in the region and severe population difference between Najafabad and other cities in the region. It created also the imbalance between population growth and physical-economic development of Najaf Abad city and has led to non-compliance with the master plan for the development of Najaf Abad city
Correlation of Social Media Trends with Opinions of General Public in Pakistan
Full text linkThis research examines the nuanced correlation between emergent social media trends on the X (formerly twitter) platform and the collective sentiments of the general populace in Pakistan. Employing a comprehensive dual-methodology approach, comprising both qualitative and quantitative techniques, the study leverages a meticulously designed survey methodology, incorporating in-person interviews and conversations. This survey framework is strategically synchronized with the identification of prominent trends on the X platform, offering a temporally aligned insight into public opinion dynamics. The quantitative analyses, including correlation studies, are conducted to discern inherent patterns and identify outliers within the amassed data. The research scrutinizes correlations between X trend data and survey responses, emphasizing on the societal significance of these trends. These trends contribute the greater understanding of the role of social media in political domain. The chosen X platform is singled out for its dynamic growth data and recognized role as a news disseminator. The study concludes with implications for comprehending the multifaceted interplay between emergent digital discourses and societal sentiments, contributing substantively to the broader academic discourse through these correlations. The data indicates a divergence in broader view and social media view under the political domain but showed positive corelations in the social and economic domain
Providing a Pattern and Planning Method for Footpaths and Sidewalks to Protect Deteriorated and Vulnerable Urban Contexts
Full text linkThis research seeks to answer this question to prevent the waste of capital in routes without potential and allocate facilities and facilities to routes with potential to encourage people to move on foot on short trips. Through what criteria and indicators can the existing potential of the roads be measured, and as a result, by finding the optimal routes for pedestrian traffic, one of the most important problems of the public's lack of acceptance of non-motorized transportation can be solved. At first, by using the descriptive-analytical research method, through library studies, the existing literature in this field and also the experiences of other countries of the world and Iran have been investigated. In this way, the theoretical framework of the research has been formed and effective criteria and indicators have been extracted in measuring the potential of roads for pedestrian movement. In this way, four criteria of land use, traffic safety, security, attractiveness, and comfort have been defined. The extracted criteria and sub-criteria are valued through the process of hierarchical analysis and the Delphi method. In the next step, by using the case-based research method, the data related to the sub-criteria at the level of the roads in the study area are collected through observation and interview entered into the geographic information system, and finally analyzed by the geographic information system and in some cases, The layout of the space (to measure the network continuity) is done and the routes with potential for pedestrian movement are extracted. Finally, from the summation of the weighted values obtained for each of the roads regarding land use criteria, traffic safety, security attractiveness, and comfort, the final score of each of the roads in the study area (intended statistical population) about the potential Passages are obtained to create suitable routes for pedestrian traffic
Analysis and Determination of Factors Affecting Flexibility (UR) and Urban Sustainability (US)
Full text linkCities are increasingly becoming complex systems of social, economic, and ecological factors. When any of their subsystems are destroyed or unable to adapt to new challenges, they are highly vulnerable. Unknown factors such as natural disasters, climate change, energy crises, political instability, financial crises, food health, and terrorist attacks play an important role in threatening urban development. Three scales of urban, community, and urban facilities are outlined. To study and prepare the questionnaire in this study, two scales of community and urban facilities are considered. Accuracy was not possible. The results of the study showed that the indicators considered in the flexibility section are more important than urban sustainability, meaning that when flexibility is implemented in cities, the city will move towards sustainability. Other important results of the research are the implementation of poverty alleviation programs, the establishment of social poverty alleviation programs with the participation of the private sector, the number and value of small business loans, and the allocation of funds for poverty alleviation programs as influential factors in community management. There are two modes of flexibility and stability
A Systematic Literature Review of Inquiry-Based Teacher Professional Development Programs: Types and Impacts on Teachers and Students (2013-2023)
Full text linkThis study aims to conduct a literature analysis of Inquiry-Based Teacher Professional Development Programs (I-BTPDP), focusing on the types of programs and their impact on both teachers and students. The research employs a systematic literature review (SLR) consisting of four main stages: identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. The initial identification and screening process is based on the following criteria: 1) articles published between 2013-2023, 2) content related to inquiry-based science teacher professional development programs, 3) articles written in English and peer-reviewed, and 4) content discussing the impact of inquiry-based science teacher professional development on teachers and/or students. After the screening process, 34 eligible articles were selected for analysis. Data analysis was conducted through coding based on the types of I-BTPDP and their impact. The literature review results show that the types of I-BTPDP include programs directly focused on inquiry-based learning, programs with a focus on the Nature of Science (NoS), technology-based programs, and partnership-based programs. Furthermore, the impact of I-BTPDP on teachers includes hands-on experience with the scientific inquiry process, enhanced understanding of planning and implementing inquiry-based learning, and increased confidence and interest in conducting inquiry-based learning. As for students, the impact of I-BTPDP includes improvements in content knowledge, attitudes towards science, and engagement in the inquiry proces
Analysis of Social Studies Instruction by Integrating Islamic Values in MTs Muhammadiyah Kota Bandung
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to find out how teachers integrate Islamic values in the implementation of social studies instruction at Islamic Junior High School Muhammadiyah Bandung (henceforth MTs Muhammadiyah Bandung) as a means of forming students' personalities to become well-behaved individuals. The main challenge in integration of Islamic values into social studies instruction is globalization, which brings new values into people's lives where the inclusion of these values does not necessarily match the values and norms of Indonesian society. The research method used is qualitative with a case study design. The data of this study are collected using interviews, observation and documentation technique, and analysed using source triangulation. The results of the study prove that the implementation of social studies instruction at MTs Muhammadiyah Bandung has been integrated with Islamic values, which can be observed from the lesson plan and the classroom activities. There are 3 stages of the classroom instruction, i.e. 1) opening activities, which begin with prayers, student sermon and apperceptions that contain Islamic values, 2) core activities, where teacher includes Islamic values in learning materials, and 3) closing, where the teacher closes by concluding the material and providing motivation with some Islamic values. The integration of Islamic values at MTs Muhammadiyah Bandung has been carried out both in the school environment and in the classroom instruction, with the goal that when students are given Islamic values from an early age, they will have good morals in their daily lives
Local Wisdom of the Oral Tradition of Kerinci’s Pno Adat in Social Studies Instruction
Full text linkThis article aims to provide an overview of the results of research on the value of local wisdom in the oral tradition of the indigenous people of Kerinci as a source of social studies learning in schools. Data were collected using ethnographic methods and action research. The results of the study indicate that 1) Pno adat in Kerinci contains character education values which are used as guidelines for behavior by the community, 2) The values in Pno adat include religious, legal, social care, and environmental care values, 3) the values in customary law can be used as material in social studies instruction based on local wisdom. The important meaning contained in each traditional Pno expression is very important to make social studies instruction more meaningful for students. The important values in Kerinci's Pno adat can be seen in three important aspects for students. First, the students' interest and passion for learning has increased. Second, teachers and books are no longer the main source of learning, and thirdly, the preservation of local culture in the form of local traditions can be done through education in schools
