A set of principles for teaching and learning can serve us well. We may become more aware of our aims, more consistent in our communications with students and parents, more articulate at stating our positions, more adept at describing our rationales. There is a security that comes with knowing the principles, the tenets, to which we ascribe. Principles give us a platform for making choices and taking directions. Instead of rudderless improvisation, we can check ourselves to judge if we are on or off the path we have chosen. “Principles are important to us because they shape boundar­ies and supply tracks for our choices and behaviors as teach­ers . . . . Our principles form the foundation on which we base our actions and build our teaching identities . . . . Knowing our principles makes us better teachers. Because we know on what foundations our behaviors are based, we see congruency with those foundations in all that we do, say, and think as we work with students” Bennett and Bartholomew’s principles for teaching and learn­ing provide one example of principles that can guide our school practices. Principle 1: Students have the right to be treated with respect and dignity for their ideas, skills, and stages of development. Principle 2: Students deserve an engaging learning environment in which they feel safe enough to demonstrate freely their understandings and skills through various types of participation. Principle 3: Student learning is the responsibility of both teachers and students. Principle 4: Learning is holistic and constructive. Principle 5: A teacher’s attitudes, behaviors, and methodologies should be compatible with one another. Principle 6: Quality of life is enriched through music and singing.

Abstractlearning process  good teaching  can create a situation that allows children to learn, so that is the starting point of the success of teaching. The low quality of education depends on the management of the teaching and learning process which can be interpreted as being less effective in the teaching and learning process, the causes: (1) Low learning activities, (2) Inadequate facilities and infrastructure. The case in Solok City Middle School, the low level of student learning activities allegedly influenced the low student learning outcomes. Based on observations on class VIII A which included the superior class had not yet achieved the desired completeness, the class with the least completeness was class VIII B which was 33.33% with KKM 65 criteria. Seeing this reality, teachers were required to motivate students and foster enthusiasm student learning. Therefore, to foster students' enthusiasm for learning, the author tries to apply student learning activities through discussion methods in small groups.Keywords: Learning, discussion AbstrakProses belajar mengajar yang baik dapat menciptakan situasi yang mmemungkinkan anak belajar, sehingga merupakan titik awal keberhasilan pengajaran.

Abstract Objectives: The mini right axillary thoracotomy is an alternative surgical approach to repair certain congenital heart defects. Quality-of-life metrics and clinical outcomes in children undergoing either the right axillary approach or median sternotomy were compared. Methods: Patients undergoing either approach for the same defects between 2018 and 2020 were included. Demographic details, operative data, and outcomes were compared between both groups. An abbreviated quality of life questionnaire based on the Infant/Toddler/Child Health Questionnaires focused on the patient’s global health, physical activity, and pain/discomfort was administered to all parents/guardians within two post-operative years. Results: Eighty-seven infants and children underwent surgical repair (right axillary thoracotomy, n = 54; sternotomy, n = 33) during the study period. There were no mortalities in either group. The right axillary thoracotomy group experienced significantly decreased red blood cell transfusion, intubation, intensive care, and hospital durations, and earlier chest tube removal. Up to 1 month, parents’ perception of their child’s degree and frequency of post-operative pain was significantly less after the right axillary thoracotomy approach. No difference was found in the patient’s global health or physical activity limitations beyond a month between the two groups. Conclusions: With the mini right axillary approach, surrogates of faster clinical recovery and hospital discharge were noted, with a significantly less perceived degree and frequency of post-operative pain initially, but without the quality of life differences at last follow-up. While providing obvious cosmetic advantages, the minimally invasive right axillary thoracotomy approach for the surgical repair of certain congenital heart lesions is a safe alternative to median sternotomy.

The aim of this article is to explore the economic status and the quality of life of widows in the Nordic past, based on the evidence contained in retirement contracts. Analysis of these contracts also shows the ways in which, and when, land and the authority invested in the headship of the household were transferred between generations in the Nordic countryside. After the early eighteenth century, retirement contracts became more detailed but these should be viewed not as a sign of tension between the retirees and their successors but as a family insurance strategy designed to protect the interests of younger siblings of the heir and his or her old parents, particularly if there was a danger of the property being acquired by a non-relative. Both the retirement contracts made by couples and those made by a widow alone generally guaranteed them an adequate standard of living in retirement. Widows were assured of an adequately heated room of their own, more generous provision of food than was available to many families, clothing and the right to continue to work, for example at spinning and milking, but to be excused heavy labour. However, when the land was to be retained by the family, in many cases there was no intention of establishing a separate household.

White Coat Effect

Systemic arterial hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and has become a common public health problem. Health education associated with educational technology may be used to encourage patients’ adherence to treatment and enable them to adequately understand how harmful hypertension can be to health, thereby promoting their quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of a strategy in an individual orientation program using educational technology associated with virtual learning environment (VLE) of hypertension care on the reduction in the white coat effect and the improvement in blood pressure control to be promoted by a nurse in a hypertension unit in a government state hospital in São Paulo. METHODS AND MATERIALS:This was a randomized clinical education study conducted with two groups, the VLE group (study group, 10 patients) and the control group (16 patients). Both groups were interviewed 6 times by nurses during the 120-day follow-up at 20-day intervals. At baseline (randomization) and at the end of the study, the patients took Spielberg’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Morisky test, and the WHOQOL, a quality of life instrument, and had their blood pressure taken (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring [ABPM]). Both groups had their blood pressure, weight, and abdominal circumference measured. Only the study group had remote access to the VLE. This consisted of 6 specific educational modules, each released according to the encounter number. RESULTS: At baseline, there were no statistical differences between the two groups with respect to the sociodemographic and hemodynamic variables. At the end of the study, there was a significant statistical difference between the groups on the Morisky test (p=0.001) and on the WHOQOL with respect to domain 3 social (p=0.001). There was no statistical difference with respect to the white coat effect between the groups. Nor was there any statistical difference between the groups with respect to the association of the anxiety degree measured by STAI and the white coat effect.CONCLUSION: In light of the results, our strategy improved the quality of life in the social domain and changed the adherence behavior of the study group in relation to the forgetfulness of medication schedules.

Low activity, student creativity in the learning process can result in the teaching and learning process being less than optimal so that the material presented is incomplete according to the expected completeness criteria. From the results of observations and discussions with the history subject teacher, information is obtained that the learning system has not fully involved students as the subject of learning consequently the final result to be achieved, namely individual and classical learning completeness with KKM (minimum completeness criteria) has not been achieved. One of the efforts made to improve the process and student learning outcomes, a learning method is used that makes it easier for students to compile and understand information or the content of the lesson text in increasing understanding of social studies subject matter so that learning outcomes are expected to increase, through the use of the SQ3R method. Based on the background of the problem, the formulation of the problem in this study is: "How are the students' learning outcomes increased through the SQ3R method in history learning for students of XII SMA Negeri 1 Tembilahan Hulu Indragiri Hilir? "The purpose of this study is to determine the activities of teachers and students as well as the improvement of student learning outcomes in history subjects through the SQ3R method for class XI SMAN 1 Kateman Indragiri Hilir. The conclusion of this study is that the student learning outcomes, before CAR the average daily test was 64.3, after the CAR based on the daily test cycle I increased to 81.8 and was included in the good category. In the second cycle of daily tests, it increased again to 92.8 and was included in the very good category. Thus, the use of the SQ3R method can improve student learning outcomes in history learning for class XII at SMAN 1 Tembilahan Hulu, Indragiri Hilir Regency

Acoustic Conditions

  The acoustic quality of classrooms has a strong influence on the teaching and learning process. This interference assessed using the impulsive technique to measure the rate of speech transmission (STI), reverberation time (RT) and sound definition (D50). These are the most relevant acoustic descriptors in the assessment of classrooms, where verbal exposure is the means of communication between teachers and students. The evaluation took place in two buildings of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), built in the 1960s and another in 2016. The measured values ​​of STI, provided in the classrooms' actual acoustic conditions, were used as an adjustment parameter for simulations made with the software ODEON. After carrying out the measurements and simulations, the dimensioning of improvements was possible. The acoustic simulations presented suggestions to qualify the quality of the classrooms' acoustic comfort, ensuring that teaching and learning to do not suffer losses due to the physical structure of the classrooms. The measured values ​​of STI, RT and D50 show that, in the old building, except for a single classroom that preserves the original ceiling that had a high sound absorption coefficient, it has reasonable values, below the ideal for classrooms, according to the IEC 60268-16 (2011) standard. The investigation showed that the rooms with a roof replaced by a PVC covering had a sharp drop in acoustic quality. The newest building has classrooms with proper acoustic comfort conditions.

By situating this article within disability studies, decolonial studies and postcolonial studies, my purpose is to explore orientations towards independence within public school practices and show how this serves to reinforce hierarchies of exclusion. As feminist, queer and postcolonial scholar Ahmed (2006, p. 3) contends, “Orientations shape not only how we inhabit, but how we apprehend this world of shared inhabitance as well as ‘who’ or ‘what’ we direct our energy toward” (Ahmed, 2006, p. 3). I wonder how the policies and practices that I am oriented towards as a public school teacher limit the possibilities of encountering teaching and learning as a mode of reckoning and apprehending “this world of shared inhabitance?” I also wonder how remaining oriented towards independence as the goal of learning simultaneously sustains an adherence to colonial western logics under the current neoliberal ethos. Through Ahmed’s provocation I explore how the gaze of both teachers and students in public schools remains oriented towards independent learning in a manner that sustains conditions of exclusion, marginalization and oppression.
