The Relation between Mentalized Affectivity and Negative Emotions in Chinese College Students: The Moderating Effect of Internet Altruistic Behavior
Get PDFThis article aims to investigate the impact of mentalized affectivity on negative emotions among Chinese college students based on a questionnaire survey of 899 university students. The study adopts a mentalized affectivity scale, an internet altruistic behavior scale, and a self-analysis questionnaire. The study’s findings reveal a negative correlation between mentalized affectivity and depression, anxiety, and stress, but a positive correlation with variables linked to internet altruistic behavior in college students. Additionally, the study reveals a significant moderating effect of internet altruistic behavior on the relationship between mentalized affectivity and depression and anxiety. It is concluded that an increased level of affectivity can help modulate negative emotions and that internet altruistic behavior can play a moderator role in the modulation process

Infusing the Engineer Design Process into Education
Get PDFThe engineering design process (EDP) is an iterative decision-making process, in which basic science, math, and engineering concepts are applied to develop optimal solutions to meet an established objective (Mangold & Robinson, 2013). There is no unitary standard for the EDP, and researchers have different ideas about the basic steps that should be included in the process. In practice, the EDP may varies by discipline and project, but it’s essential features typically include: (1) starting with the definition of the problem or needs; (2) being open-ended with multiple possible solutions; (3) involving mathematical modeling and scientific analysis; (4) being highly iterative (Atman et al., 2007; Hynes, 2012; Berland et al., 2014)
Human Crisis in Facing Emerging Fatal Pathogenic Microbes: The Hidden Obstacles
Get PDFThe emergence of new and increasingly fatal pathogens presents significant challenges to global public health systems, and the intersection of human health and pathogenic microbes is a swiftly evolving area of concern. Continuous vigilance and preparedness in the presence of emergent infectious threats are underscored by the rapid spread of diseases such as COVID-19, Ebola, and Zika virus. Nevertheless, the effective battle against these fatal pathogens is significantly impeded by concealed obstacles, including misinformation/miscommunication, inadequate healthcare infrastructure in developing countries, and lack of funding for research, etc. A multifaceted approach is necessary to overcome these obstacles, which includes enhanced surveillance systems, public education campaigns on preventive measures, increased investment in research and development, and global collaboration to ensure the timely detection and response to emerging threats. We can only hope to mitigate the impact of fatal pathogenic microbes on human health and prevent future crises from unfolding by making a concerted effort to surmount these hidden obstacles
The Effect of Teaching the Secondary School 7th Grade Cell and Division Unit with Concept Map on the Academic Success of Students
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the effect of teaching the “Cell and Divisions” unit in the science course with concept maps on the academic achievement of 7th grade middle school students. In order to achieve the stated purpose, a mixed method approach using an explanatory sequential design was used. The study group of the research consisted of 30 middle school students studying in the 7th grade. Convenience sampling method was used in sample selection. In this five-week long implementation, the control group was taught by the teacher according to the current science curriculum in the textbook, while the experimental group was taught a lesson enriched with concept maps. Quantitative data were obtained with the Science Attitude Scale (SAS) and the Cell and Divisions Achievement Test (CCDAT). The “Semi-structured Interview Form” developed by the researchers was used as a qualitative data collection tool. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test were used to analyze quantitative data. Qualitative data were analyzed descriptively by content analysis method. In the post-application analysis results, while there was no statistically significant difference between the pretest results of the control and experimental groups, statistically significant results were found in favor of the experimental group in the post-test academic achievement scores. Interviews with the students revealed that concept maps contributed significantly to their learning
