MEANS OF TRANSFORMATION OF TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODS AND INNOVATION FOSTERING THROUGH OUTDOOR EDUCATION AND NON-FORMAL ACTIVITIES: 10.24250/jpe/1/2025/EMC/TH/
No full textOutdoor education and non-formal activities representtransformative approaches in modern pedagogy, significantlyshifting traditional teaching paradigms and fostering innovationwithin educational systems. This brief research, explores themultifaceted benefits of integrating outdoor learning experiencesinto conventional educational frameworks. The study examineshow outdoor education stimulates cognitive, emotional, andsocial development, thereby enhancing overall studentengagement and achievement. By relocating the classroomenvironment to natural settings, educators can leverage theinherent curiosity and enthusiasm students exhibit towardsnature, promoting experiential and inquiry-based learning. Theresearch highlights several key areas where outdoor educationdrives innovation: curriculum design, instructional strategies,and assessment methods. It underscores the importance ofcurriculum flexibility to accommodate outdoor activities thatalign with educational standards while fostering critical thinkingand problem-solving skills. The paper illustrates how innovativeinstructional strategies, such as project-based learning andinterdisciplinary approaches, are effectively implemented inoutdoor settings, encouraging collaboration, creativity, anddeeper understanding of subject matter. Additionally, itaddresses how alternative assessment methods, focusing onholistic and formative evaluation, provide a more comprehensivemeasure of student learning and development. Case studies fromRomanian educational contexts are presented to demonstrate thesuccessful application of outdoor education and its impact onstudent outcomes. These examples reveal that students not onlyperform better academically but also develop essential life skillssuch as resilience, adaptability, and environmental stewardship.The paper also discusses the challenges and barriers toimplementing outdoor education in the Romanian formaleducational system, including logistical, financial, and safetyconcerns, and proposes practical solutions to overcome theseobstacles. The paper advocates for a paradigm shift towardsincorporating outdoor education as a core component of theeducational experience. It argues that by embracing the naturalenvironment as an extension of the classroom, educators cancultivate a more dynamic, engaging, and innovative learningexperience. This transformation has the potential to revolutionizestudents to thrive in an increasingly complex and interconnectedworld. The findings emphasize the need for ongoing research andpolicy support to sustain and expand outdoor educationinitiatives, ensuring that all students have the opportunity tobenefit from this enriching educational approach
THE PROFESSIONAL VALUES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS
Full text linkWorking conditions make a significant contribution to improving the social climate. The professional satisfaction of teachers is determined by their value system. The present study aims at the analysis of the professional values ​​of the teachers in the primary education, respectively their hierarchy. The theoretical framework is built on three main axes. The first refers to the social status of the teacher, followed by the description of the specific skills needed to practice this profession, and the last axis addresses the functions that the teacher performs. An analysis of teachers' values ​​regarding aesthetic sense, intellectual stimulation, leadership of others, work environment and relationships with colleagues was performed. The preliminary results of the study show that the teacher builds his own professional identity in accordance with the values ​​prescribed by the teaching position. However, this act is influenced by the atmosphere at work

In the second part of the article, we have included a research, about the role of adults in outdoor learning activities in primary school. In this matter, we are going to present the results of a focus group, organised both with parents and teachers from a primary school in Arad County. The preliminary results show the fact that parents expect better communication from teachers in order to get better prepared and involved in the aoutdoor activities of their children
OUTDOOR EDUCATION AS AN INTERFACE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND MODERN LEARNING APPROACHES: A CURRICULUM-BASED ANALYSIS AT CORE CURRICULUM STAGE IN ROMANIA: 10.24250/jpe/2/2023/HT/EMC/
No full textThis study delves into the pivotal role of outdoor learning in acting as a connecting thread between conventional and contemporary teaching methods within the realm of core curriculum education. As educational methodologies continually evolve, educators are keen to adopt innovative approaches that effectively engage and educate students. Traditional teaching methods, while enduring, coexist with modern pedagogical practices that emphasize experiential learning, active participation, and holistic development. The research explores how outdoor learning functions as an intermediary, facilitating a seamless fusion of traditional and modern educational practices. Its primary focus is to investigate the influence of outdoor learning on student motivation, critical thinking, and overall educational achievements, particularly within the core curriculum stage. By employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses, this study seeks to highlight the advantages and obstacles associated with the incorporation of outdoor learning in core curriculum subjects. It aims to pinpoint effective methods for embedding outdoor experiences into conventional classroom settings, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive comprehension of how outdoor learning can enrich the educational experience. The insights garnered from this research endeavor have the potential to provide valuable guidance to educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers in striking a harmonious balance between time-honored teaching techniques and innovative strategies. This equilibrium aims to create a well-rounded, enhanced learning environment for students at the core curriculum level.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND APPLICATIONS USED IN ROMANIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE CLASSES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL: 10.24250/jpe/2/2024/DD/EC/DP/
