Life Education: Reshaping Education for the Sake of Life
Get PDFLife is the starting point as well as the primary aim of all educative activities. The essence of education is to create conditions to support the development of individual life, as Montessori (2004) famously said that the purpose of education is to foster the healthy development of force of life in children, and that education is everything that has the potential to boost their vitality. Successful education allows students to grow in an autonomy-supportive environment and learn to appreciate, respect, and treasure life while acquiring academic knowledge. This is the fundamental responsibility of education (Lansdown, 2005). Pointless are the seemingly great accomplishments of the individual who has no idea of meaning in life; likewise, any education that fails to assure the healthy development of individual life is ineffective, no matter how advanced it appears
The Flipped Classroom: An Effective Model of Active Learning
Get PDFA a result of the development of humanistic psychology in the 1960s, there has been a growing recognition that affective factors can significantly impact the outcomes of education (Lu, 2001). Affective factors in language learning, particularly in second language acquisition, have been reckoned as non-cognitive factors and along with cognitive factors, have sparked substantial attention among academics. Affective variables that may influence foreign language acquisition include a variety of emotions and feelings arising in foreign language classroom such as anxiety, fear, embarrassment, or sense of inferiority. Among them, second language anxiety has long been a popular topic in foreign language instruction research
Issues with the Development of Professional Preschool Teaching Staff in China and Developmental Strategies
Get PDFTeaching in preschool institutions is a specialized profession that requires professional expertise and techniques. Currently, certain issues with the professionalization of early childhood education practitioners have negatively impacted the quality of Chinese preschool education. This article analyzed the necessity of professionalizing pre-primary teachers and pinpointed the challenges faced by China’s educational community in building professional preschool education staff. Relevant strategies were also proposed for strengthening China’s pre-primary teaching force
How Proactive Personality Impacts Knowledge Sharing among Primary and Secondary Teachers: The Roles of Work Engagement and Organizational Innovative Climate
Get PDFKnowledge Sharing is an important means for knowledge generation, accumulation, and innovation of schools and plays a significant role in alleviating teachers’ work pressures and upgrading their professional competence. Personality traits of teachers are key factors relating to their psychology and attitudes towards knowledge sharing. This article draws on the job demands-resources theory to examine how proactive personality affects knowledge sharing among primary and secondary teachers and identify the mediating effect of teacher work engagement and the moderating effect of the organizational innovative climate. The purpose of the study is to provide guidance for schools’ knowledge management and equalization of educational resources
The Use of Self-Assessment in Improving Pre-Service Teachers’ Professional Development
Get PDFThe use of self-assessment in teacher training has been strongly suggested by researchers because these assessment tasks activate students, motivate them to participate in learning, and cause more oriented and effective learning. This study focuses on using self-assessment in teacher education for the purpose of exploring the benefits of self-assessment practices for the pre-service teachers’ learning process and their professional development. Thirty-eight pre-service teachers participated in this study. Within the context of the study, every participant was supposed to perform a teaching practice by applying teaching methods. Pre-service teachers’ assessed their own performances through a self-assessment form composed of two parts. The first part of this form includes a criteria-based scoring matrix, and the second part includes open-ended written questions. Analyses of the data showed that pre-service teachers perceive themselves as worst at ‘efficient teaching practice’ and best at ‘using body language and gesture effectively’ among the given criteria. When the data obtained from the written questions was analyzed, it was concluded that the pre-service teachers had the most difficulty following the teaching plan. According to the results, it can be argued that by using the self-assessment tasks, pre-service teachers realized their strengths and weaknesses; they recognized that they have difficulties with some competencies required for effective teaching and what they need to improve themselves
Cytokines and Lymphoma
Get PDFCurrently lymphoma is mainly treated with combination chemotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, immunotherapy, and new targeted therapy, but treatment-related drug resistance, recurrence, extranodal and central infiltration, and leukemic transformation are still clinical problems that need to be solved urgently. Studies have shown that cytokines are expressed to varying degrees in lymphoma patients, which are significantly related to the progression of lymphoma, poor prognosis, chemotherapy response, and drug resistance. It has been confirmed that interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-10 are highly expressed in all types of lymphoma, and IL-10 is highly expressed in cerebrospinal fluid of central nervous system lymphoma, and both of them indicate poor prognosis. This review discusses the role of cytokines in the development and potential treatment of lymphoma
On the Role of Insula in Drug Addiction
Get PDFDrug addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease with limited treatment options and a high recurrence rate. Neuromodulation techniques, including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, and deep brain stimulation, hold great therapeutic promise in the treatment of drug addiction. The insula is a key brain region in drug addiction, and its value as a neuromodulatory target in drug addiction needs further exploration. This article presents preclinical and clinical evidence for the role of the insula in drug addiction and explores its promise as a target for the treatment of drug addiction
Can Virtual Reality Elicit More Empathy: A Meta-analysis Based on 19 Randomized Controlled Trials
Get PDFEmpathy is an individual’s objective and insightful awareness of the feelings and behavior of others. There are mainly two types of empathy: cognitive and affective. Empathy plays a crucial role in improving student academic performance as well as in promoting social interaction of the individual. Virtual reality is generally defined as a medium technology which can provide simulative experiences in a computer-created environment and has the capacity to enhance human empathy by offering immersive learning experiences. This study conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of virtual reality-assisted instruction on eliciting empathy in students and to discern the influences of various variables on student empathetic behavior. The following two questions were proposed: Is virtual reality-assisted instruction more effective in enhancing student empathy than traditional teaching methods? How are research design, subject matter and process features related to the promotive effects of virtual reality on student empathetic competence
Family Cultural Capital and Child Social Skills: The Mediating Effects of Maternal Childcare Competence and Maternal Rough Parenting
Get PDFSocial skills are essential to social adaptability and exchanges of the individual and have a significant impact on their academic and professional attainment. Individuals with superior social skills can perceive higher self-value while those with underdeveloped ones are more susceptible to mental problems due to their inability to properly interact with the external world. Family cultural capital poses direct effects on social skill development of the child, and they can be mediated by maternal childcare competence and the degree of roughness of maternal parenting
