The Significance of Integrating Engineering Design-Based Instruction in STEM Education
Get PDFEngineering design-based learning activities can successfully spark students’ interest in real-world issues by motivating them to apply their disciplinary knowledge in mathematics, science and more to analyze and solve problems identified (Uzel & Bilici, 2022). Generally speaking, problem identification and problem solving are the two primary steps in the engineering design process. Researchers assert that engineering design-based instruction (EDBI) is a novel paradigm of teaching, particularly valuable in inquiry-based instructional practices (Cooper et al., 2015). Research finds that the enactment of EDBI for addressing open, practical issues is substantially beneficial for increasing the problem-solving and design abilities of primary and secondary students (Crotty et al., 2017; Capobianco et al., 2018), and that EDBI implementation in STEM education can significantly improve students’ attitudes towards the STEM curriculum, promote their academic success, and support their 21st-century skills development (Moore et al., 2015)

Myocardial Ischemic Syndrome: A Necessary Nomenclature Update of Coronary Artery Disease
Get PDFThe switch from the name coronary artery disease (CAD) to myocardial ischemic syndrome (MIS) signifies a more thorough comprehension of the mechanism and clinical presentations of heart disease. CAD largely addresses obstructive coronary lesions, whereas MIS includes a wider range of disorders leading to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle, including microvascular dysfunction and coronary artery spasm. The revised terminology highlights the varied causes and manifestations of ischemic heart disease beyond conventional stenotic lesions, facilitating more precise diagnosis and tailored treatment approaches based on specific patient attributes. By acknowledging the dynamic characteristics of myocardial ischemia, healthcare providers can more effectively manage the intricate interactions of risk variables and customize interventions to enhance patient outcomes

Nature economics aims to promote a peaceful coexistence between human activity and the environment by incorporating sustainability, resource management, and ecosystem valuation ideas into conventional economic models. Examining the function of natural resources in economic systems, the effects of environmental externalities, and the necessity of sustainable development, and we will explore the core ideas of nature economics
An Investigation into the Mental Structure of Science Teacher Candidates towards the Concept of “Atom”
Get PDFThis study aimed to identify science teacher candidates’ mental structures about the concept of the atom. This study included 120 science teacher candidates who were chosen using the convenience sampling method. This research is a pheno-menological study. The data on students’ mental models of the atom was collected using a metaphor form and an open-ended question form. Forms were utilized to collect written feedback from teaching candidates. The research data were subjected to content analysis. In addition, the MAXQDA application was utilized to assess and generate categorization. As a result of the research, science teacher candidates’ mental structures about the concept of the atom were divided into six major categories. It has been discovered that atom models are most vividly represented in the mental structures of science teacher candidates while addressing the concept of the atom. Then, mental structures relating to the atom’s structural properties, definition or conceptual explanation, historical process, subatomic particles, and functional function arose in that order. When the codes in these categories were reviewed in detail, it was discovered that the explanations provided were extremely cursory
How Teacher Support Affects Migrant Children’s Learning Satisfaction
Get PDFTeacher support significantly affects student learning and directly relates to their academic development. Learning satisfaction is the subjective perception and evaluation of learning quality on the part of the student, which represents, to certain extent, the quality of education. Based on data from a questionnaire survey of 1251 migrant children in grades three throughout six, this study analyzed how teacher support impacted the learning satisfaction of migrant children. Research findings indicated that teacher support had a significantly positive effect on migrant children’s learning satisfaction; and that teacher support indirectly and positively affects their learning satisfaction through the separate mediating effect of their learning engagement as well as via the chain mediating effects of their academic adjustment and learning engagement

The Big Bang of Brain Trauma
Get PDFIn terms of its devastating consequences on cognitive function and general neurological health, brain trauma is comparable to the aftermath of a big bang. Brain trauma sets off a cascade of events within the brain that can result in extensive damage and disruption of normal functioning, much like the force of a big bang starts a chain reaction of destruction throughout the cosmos. Secondary mechanisms like oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and apoptosis are brought on by the first impact's instantaneous release of neurotransmitters and inflammatory reactions. A cascade of these events can lead to emotional dysregulation, motor dysfunction, and long-term cognitive problems. Using this analogy to understand brain trauma emphasizes how severe and irreversible its effects are, underscoring the urgent need for efficient preventative measures and therapeutic approaches to lessen its terrible effects
