AbstractThe results presented in the preceding sections were primarily aimed at developing a test on professional competence of pre-service teachers specifically for teaching mathematical modelling. In a first step, the theoretical foundations were laid and, based on this, the structure of professional competence used for teaching mathematical modelling was explained. Subsequently, the relevant constructs were operationalised and empirically checked. The results of the analyses presented regarding the test quality are summarised below and are classified in the current state of research to discuss possible explanations for the observed results on this basis. In order to further define the scope of the results, key limits of the test instrument in relation to the present study will be addressed. The book concludes with an outlook, in which possible implications are derived from this study for didactic research as well as for university teacher education.

Purpose: This paper is a thematic literature review to examine the current state of research about Culturally Responsive Pedagogy in mathematics. The main themes are students’ perception, teacher education for pre-service teacher and professional development for teachers. Research methods/ approach: Literature was collected from Eric, which is a research engine of the education field. Also, Google Scholar is used to find articles of major scholars introduced by Dr. Rich Milner, who is the instructor of this course. Findings: Students faced microaggressions in mathematics class, which discouraged them to learn mathematics. The effect of teacher education was inconsistent in terms of the awareness of culturally responsive pedagogy and lesson plans. Research of professional development mentioned that mathematics was cultural. Implications for research and practice: It is more interesting to conduct long term or follow-up research to find the teacher’s practice after a taking professional development program. Also, it is critical to expand research scope besides African American and Latino students. Finally, evidence-based research is needed to change the political situation. Keywords: culturally responsive teaching, mathematics, teacher education, professional development, student’s perception

Introduction. The relevance of developing a transversal environmental competence in teachers of various subjects is determined by the global challenges of the time, and the current state of educational development. The study aims to justify the need to form the transversal environmental competence in teachers of different subjects. Materials and methods. The paper discusses theoretical foundations of the phenomenon of transversal environmental competence of the teacher, and substantiates the independence of this competency. Experiments have been made to prove the effectiveness of the development of a transversal environmental competence in the teacher. The methods employed in the study also included questionnaires “Questions to yourself,” and a monographic description. The results of the study. An analysis of empirical material concluded that most teachers do not have sufficient knowledge and skills related to the issues of education to promote sustainable development. This is due to the fact that the environmental competence of the teacher is considered separately from their professional competencies. Therefore, it is necessary to build such environmental competence of teachers, which can help them solve worldview, methodological and axiological problems of self-identification, self-determination, self-actualization, and self-development in a society in the interests of sustainable development. In this regard, the appropriateness of introducing the concept of a “transversal environmental competence” in the pedagogical thesaurus has been experimentally proved. Conclusion. The practical value of the study lies in the improvement of the environmental competence in teachers of various subjects. Keywords: professional competence, transversal environmental competence, environmental education, construction, sustainable development.

Еach model for forecasting agrometeorological risks based on the analysis of one-dimensional time series is effective for a certain range of initial information. In addition, the values of the initial observations can differ significantly for each specific case, respectively, the widespread use of one method for the analysis of arbitrary information can lead to significant inaccuracies. Thus, the problem of choosing a forecasting method for the initial set of agrometeorological data arises. In this regard, a universal adaptive probabilistic-statistical approach to predicting agrometeorological risks is proposed, which makes it possible to solve the problem of choosing a model. The article presents the results of the first stage of research carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation a brief overview of the current state of research in this direction is presented, theoretical foundations for predicting agrometeorological risks for a possible onset of drought and frost have been developed, including the task of generating initial information, a description of basic forecasting models, and also a direct description of the proposed approach with a presentation of the general structure of an intelligent system, on the basis of which the corresponding algorithm can be developed and automated as directions for further work.

The expansion of human knowledge in all areas is largely the outcome of the activity of academic institutions and the result of their mission to contribute to the cultural, intellectual and economic development of the society, involving education, research and university extension activities. For many years, the academic community has been organizing itself in all different ways to respond to current and future needs, ensuring research integrity and recognition, and building on successive generations of peers to validate and support the launching and development of novel research streams. We owe the current state of research and development of our society to generations of scholars and scientists that have brought all of us here.(...)

Olfaction, the sense of smell, is characterized by a notable age-dependency such that aging individuals are more likely to have poor olfactory abilities. These impairments are considered to be mostly irreversible and as having potentially profound effects on quality of life and food behavior, as well as constituting warning signs of mortality, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. Here, we review the current state of research on aging and olfaction, focusing on five topics which we regard to be of particular relevance for the field: nutrition and health, cognition and dementia, mortality, environment and genetics, and training-based enhancement. Under each of these headlines, we provide a state-of-the-art overview and discuss gaps in our knowledge which might be filled by further research. Understanding how olfactory abilities are diminished in aging, and how they may be alleviated or recovered, involves a set of challenging tasks for researchers in the years to come.

Technical And Professional Communication

Fierce competition has made innovation increasingly necessary for business success, and this has increased the importance of user-based innovation strategies like design thinking (DT). While many studies in technical and professional communication (TPC) have explored how DT can be used pedagogically, no studies have done this through investigating how DT is used as a workplace composing process. This study does exactly that. First, it presents the current state of research on pedagogical uses of DT in TPC, and then it builds upon those suggestions with an empirical study that chronicles on how two web design firms use DT to make websites. My main suggestion is to teach DT as a recursive process that allows students transcend potentially incorrect assumptions built into design tasks through gathering data not only from users, but from clients as well.
