INSIGHTS INTO THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS REMOTE EDUCATION OF UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING STUDENTS: 10.24250/JPE/2/2022/LP
No full textThe implementation of emergency remote education due to the COVID-19 pandemic may affect students’ online learning attitudes. Exploring these attitudes, as higher education adapts to uncertainty, has become more critical than ever. This study aims to obtain information about students' attitudes towards remote education by studying in a hybrid format in the first semester of the 2021-2022 academic year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A non-experimental research design with quantitative research methods was used. A total of 135 students enrolled in undergraduate programs at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, responded to the survey. The study found that students had a neutral attitude towards remote education. There was no statistically significant difference by gender and residence area. However, the results indicated that the 4th year students had higher attitude scores towards remote education than those in previous years. The findings of this study may also provide suggestions for further developments and improvements in students’ online learning attitudes and in the pedagogy of engineering disciplines in the post-pandemic perspective
THE PERSPECTIVE OF FREE TIME MOVEMENT IN PERSONS WITH MOTOR DISABILITY: 10.24250/jpe/1/2022/DL
No full textThis research aimed at investigating the ways of spending leisure time in terms of gender and age, for people with motor disabilities (N - 93 subjects). It has been noticed that both men and women prefer to practice hobby activities at leisure, read, listen to music or collect stamps or watch television. Activities that do not appeal to both men and women are the same: to practice a hobby, such as walking, going for excursions, practicing a sport. For women there is added activity that does not please them: going out with friends with the city. For those with motor disabilities, younger ages (under 40) are associated with active leisure activities (going out in town with friends, going to recovery activities and practicing a hobby: walking, excursions, practicing a sport etc.). ), while older (over 40 years) are associated with passive activities (sleeping, watching TV, I have a hobby like: reading, listening to music, collecting stamps, etc.).
 
FOSTERING ACADEMIC MOTIVATION FROM A STUDENT-CENTRED PERSPECTIVE: 10.24250/JPE/2/2022/LCT
No full textThe fostering of the academic motivation of pupils/students by the teachers should represent one of the fundamental and permanent objectives of the instructive-educational activity, all the more so since motivation is assigned the second place in the hierarchy of importance of academic success factors, right after academic intelligence ( D. Ausubel, F. Robinson, 1981). The quality of the results of the learning activity and the student's academic adaptation are also conditioned by the degree and type of motivation that supports the learning activity. From the set of variables that determine the students' academic motivation, the school can influence or control, through the instructive-educational activity, only the factors that pertain to its own domain: the interactions between pupils/students and teachers; the interactions between pupils/students and other pupils/students; selecting, processing, and adapting the content of the educational process, the didactic methods, the assessment methods of academic performance. Considering the importance of strategies to stimulate the motivation for learning in the context of academic performance, we set out to investigate the perception of a group of students from faculties with a technical profile regarding educational practices that favour the development of academic motivation. The research method used is the questionnaire-based survey. To identify the students' perceptions of strategies that contribute to stimulating their academic motivation, we used closed-ended items in a questionnaire
SECONDARY SCHOOL ADOLESCENTS’ KNOWLEDGE OF CORRUPT PRACTICES IN NIGERIA: SOME IMPLICATIONS FOR COUNSELLING AND VALUE REORIENTATION
No full textTeamwork activities are becoming significant in higher educationsystem. Especially professors, lecturers apply teamworkactivities such as group assignments, group presentationsgroup discussion, seminars to help students comprehendlectures easily and reveal students’ leadership skills such asproject planning, reflection, problem solving, team building,decision making, goal setting, time management, projectmanagement resource allocation, effective communicationnetworking, conflict resolution, diversity awareness, and selfconfidence. Universities, colleges prepare students to thebusiness life after the graduation, In order to preparing studentto their future career path, leadership skills play significantrole. The more student leadership skills develop, the morestudents will adapt to real world situations. Teamworkactivities help to improve students’ leadership skills. Studentsthat participate group activities to collaborate theirteammate’s purpose of complete the course, assignments,presentations will be having self-confident, effectivecommunication, decision making, problem solving, conflictresolution skills so on. Students whose student leadership skillsimproved might have chance to be successful at their futureoccupations while they work as a part of team, collaborationsin organizations. The purpose of this study is to provide a better comprehension of the concept of student leadershipskills, teamwork activities at universities and colleges, linkbetween teamwork activities and student leadership skills.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE CHELATING AGENTS INFLUENCE ON THE WEIGHT LOSS OF COTTON FABRICS DURING ENZYMATIC SCOURING
Get PDFThe proposed study offers an alternative to classical cotton fabrics scouring treatment. It is based on reagents and process utilization with low environmental impact. The experimental design studies the weight loss of cotton fabric during enzymatic scouring in ultrasound media due to the variation of two independent factors at five levels: enzyme concentration weight over fiber (1, 1.3, 2, 2.7, and 3 %) and treatment time (15, 21, 35, 49 and 55 min.), using two complexing agents individually (EDTA or sodium citrate at 2g/L). The weight loss of cotton fabric (dependent variable) was expressed in the percentage from the initial weight. The polynomial equations obtained by multiple regression analysis indicate that the influence of the two factors on the studied intervals decreases in order: time>enzyme concentration when EDTA is used, and vice versa in the case of sodium citrate. In the studied intervals of the variables, the weight loss varies between 0.43-2.40 % in the EDTA version and 0.77-1.79 % in the sodium citrate version. Response surface graphics for the two variants of complexants show how much enzyme concentration and time can be reduced in the process to obtain a suitable scouring treatment. Analyzing the obtained results, we consider sodium citrate a viable alternative for bioscouring from technological and environmental aspects

DO STUDENTS GO TO COUNSELLING ACTIVITIES? 10.24250/JPE/2/2022/DL
No full textAt the beginning of the 20th century in the U.S., psychologicalintervention one might say that have been born. This researchstarted from the following hypothesis: there is a correlationbetween the awareness of the existence of counseling officesand the degree of addressability to the services offered bycounseling offices. The method used was a questionnairesurvey (Alpha Cronbach coefficient is .790), applied on 207students. The existence of the counselling office in theuniversity is unknown for 54.6% of students (113 subjects) andthere are 55.1% (114 subjects) who do not know that there is acounselling office within the university, registering acorrelation of .657** (p-0.01). Due to not knowing about theexistence of this office and the services offered by it, the 152subjects – there are 73.4% who never called the counselor, andthey come as a negative consequence, unfortunately. Out of 23students - 11.1% very rarely addressed counselling servicesand 16 students -7.7% rarely called the services of thecounseling office. Only 1 student - 0.5% and 3 students -1.4%say they have very often or often turned to the counsellingoffice in their student life. A number of 12 students - 5.8%declare that they have turned to the school counsellor everynow and then
LANGUAGE TEACHING AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPING AT PRESCHOOL AGE, THROUGH FAIRY TALES AND STORIES: 10.24250/JPE/2/2022/DD/IB
No full textWe all know that the role of kindergarten is significant in the development and growth of the young child. Equally important is its education in his mother tongue, the language it hears for the first time from his parents. We often hear the question ”Which kindergarten should I enroll my child in?”
It is a difficult decision, the responsibility of the parent, who wants the best, the most suitable decisions for the child. Many parents tend to enroll the child in a group with teaching activities in Romanian language, wanting to help the learning of the Romanian language - the second language - from the preschool period. But with this decision we are not giving the child an easier start in life, no matter how much we are tempted to think so. The fact that we speak to them in a language other than our mother tongue will not help them integrate more easily into the community
