Performance Evaluation Method Biology Learning Project as An Effective Teaching Tool
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of project-based learning and thinking ability in biology classes. The research analyzed a sample of students from two distinct grades using pre-test and post-test. Following that, the findings revealed that members of the experimental group I, which included students who engaged in project-based, learning, had the best learning outcomes. In a project-based learning environment, students gained knowledge and skills by working collaboratively for an extended period on a real-world question or problem. Students trained using this model had better indicators of thinking ability than students trained using the traditional learning model. Thus, teachers must use the project-based learning model to guarantee better results while also improving students\u27 thinking abilities to increase the model\u27s efficacy. Schools can promote collaboration, agency, and effective communication skills by teaching social studies using project-based learning. PBL also allows students to address real-world issues in their community and around the globe

A Modern Critique of Orientalism in Contemporary Visual Art
Get PDFOrientalism is historically understood as a cultural phenomenon of 18th and 19th century Europe, when Western artists emulated Asian culture and aesthetics in their work. In 1979, Edward Said’s Orientalism first introduced a post-colonial critical analysis to the European, Western portrayal of Eastern cultures in the Middle East. In spite of the perceived progress since the publication of Said’s book, the underlying principles of Said’s Orientalism critique are still widely applicable to modern visual art in 2023. This study is a fresh look at the persistence of Orientalism in contemporary Asian art. Research will show that Orientalism is not just a historical phenomenon, but an ongoing unsavory, and harmful reality in today’s art world. Using data and examples collected from contemporary sources, I will examine and analyze the artwork of visual artists and art institutions in Western countries that reflect Orientalism in their portrayal of Chinese and East Asian cultures
