Professional Choices

AbstractInquiry-based science education is currently receiving a consensus as a pedagogy to teach science at primary and middle school levels, with the goal to reach all children and youngsters, no matter what their future professional choices will be. By the same token, it also greatly increases the fraction of the school population in which future technicians, engineers and sciences could be recruited for further training. La main à la pâte is the name of the action undertaken by the French Académie des Sciences to develop inquiry in France, and then in many collaborating countries. The focus is on science as a whole, and not on particular disciplines such as physics, biology, and so on, since it is the understanding of scientific method and use of evidence which is at the heart of inquiry. Yet, astronomy is offering so many opportunities to demonstrate the scientific method that La main à la pâte has developed a number of inquiry activities in this field, which are presented here, such as Measuring the Earth, Calendars and cultures, the use of One Laptop per Child for Moon observations, etc.

The present research is part of the project called “Sustainable social and educational integration through sports activities”, which is focused on increasing both the school attendance rate for students in lower secondary education and the ISCED 3 transit rate. Vaslui county has a wide range of vulnerabilities affecting this segment of the school population. Our study aims to highlight the structure of these vulnerabilities, which are divided into 8 categories as follows: Roma students, students with one or both parents working abroad, re-migrating students, students from disorganised or single-parent families, students from child protection institutions, students whose parents are immigrants/refugees in Romania, students with special educational needs, students at risk of early school dropout. This applied research was carried out over a period of 3 months. The participating subjects are students enrolled in two middle schools that have an ISCED below 50%; their total number is 190, of whom 105 boys and 85 girls. The research methods used are: scientific documentation, survey, mathematical and statistical method, graphical method. The results of the research are reflected in the identification of vulnerability structures for students in lower secondary education from Vaslui county. The research actually makes an X-ray of the social problems faced by middle-school students in rural areas.

Abstract. This research is part of the “Sustainable social and educational integration through sports activities” project, which aims to increase the school attendance rate and the transit rate to ISCED level 3. Mehedinți county presents a lot of vulnerabilities for middle school students. The purpose of the current study is to emphasise the structure of vulnerabilities for the middle school population from this Romanian county. The identified vulnerabilities were structured in eight categories, namely: Roma students, students with one or both parents working abroad, remigrated students, students from disorganised or single-parent families, students raised in foster care, students who are children of immigrants or refugees in Romania, students with a degree of disability and students at risk of early school dropout. This applied research was conducted over a period of 2 years. The participants are 170 students (93 boys and 77 girls) from two schools in rural areas, who have a moderate ISCED level. The methods used in this study are: literature review, survey, mathematical and statistical method, graphical method. The research results identify the structure of vulnerabilities affecting the middle school population in Mehedinți county. The research provides a deep insight into the social challenges faced by the lower secondary population in rural areas.

Voice And Speech

A survey of the speech and voice skills of 999 middle-school (grades six to eight) children was conducted in a rural, university-based community. Seventeen percent of this population demonstrated inadequate voice, articulation, or fluency. The results indicate a need for continued management of youngsters with communicative disorders through the middle-school grades.

Fashion Students

The study of geometry in grades 5-8 should incorporate opportunities for students to engage in exploring and analyzing geometric shapes to conjecture about geometric relationships through data collection and model construction, according to the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989). In this fashion, students will develop an intuitive understanding of geometric concepts and learn to reason formally and informally. Moreover, it is hoped that through such processes, students will formulate relevant definitions and theorems. The Standards document also encourages the use of computer technologies in middle school mathematics instruction. This suggestion was based on the assumption that interactive environments provided by appropriate geometry software have the potential to foster students' movement from concrete expetiences with mathematics to more formal levels of abstractions, nurture students' conjectuting spirit, and improve their mathematical thinking. Although the NCTM's visions for the geometry curriculum and for methods of teaching geometry in the middle levels are certainly attractive, many teachers are concerned about what software is useful for the middle school population, how such software can be used in instruction. what issues are associated with their use, and what the consequences are of learning and teaching mathematics within such environments.
