Education is crucial for all mankind. It is achieved to perfect all aspects of human’s life and to attain perfection in one’s life. To achieve true education, one must keep knowledge on the philosophy and objectives of education put forth by different religions and civilization but more importantly as stipulated in the Al-Quran and Sunnah. These sources help in the operative formulation of generating the complete growth of individual with integrated, balanced, and collective personality. The principal task of education is, to nurture the personal growth of a human being. It is through this development of the individual and the preservation and transmission of culture that both the individual and society attains a quality of life. A good man is not necessarily a complete man. No one can be stared as a complete human because there is no end to the growth of human personality. A wide knowledge of many subjects helps in the growth of personality (psychology) provided a man knows how to modify behavior and knows how knowledge and actions are integrated into a broad, total framework of life. This issue has been taken into hand to provide an insight from Islamic perspective for a broad continuum of personality development or what in contemporary era is called human psychology. An analytical approach is adopted to search the sources which contain information related to human nature in order to justify that religion has a strong voice to help humans to cognize the role of Islamic Psychology in human development.

PurposeThe research demonstrates the role of activity systems based in Cultural Historical Activity Theory as a means of analysing characteristics and efficacy of specific provisions of coaching in education.Design/methodology/approachThree examples of coaching in education were selected, involving 51 schools in England. The three examples were re-analysed using activity systems. This drew on existing evaluation evidence, gathered through interviews, questionnaires, focus groups and recordings of coaching.FindingsIn each example, the object of the coaching was to address a specific challenge to secure the desired quality of education. Using activity systems it is possible to demonstrate that coaching has a range of functions (both intended and consequential). The individual examples illustrate the potential of coaching to support change in complex and diverse education settings.Research limitations/implicationsThe use of existing data from evaluations means that direct comparisons between examples are not made. While data were collected throughout the duration of each coaching programme no follow-up data was available.Practical implicationsThe analysis of the examples of coaching using activity systems provides evidence of the efficacy of specific coaching provision in achieving individually defined objectives related to sustaining and improving specific educational practices.Originality/valueThe research offers insights into how coaching in education might be better tuned to the specific needs of contexts and the challenges experienced by the individuals working in them. In addition, it demonstrates the value of activity systems as an analytical tool to make sense of coaching efficacy.

This article describes a novel approach to reciprocal peer interviewing in which participants interview one another sequentially, allowing each the space of a full interview to articulate her experiences and reflections. This structure of data collection offers a new conceptualization of the way that elicitation functions; not just as a process inside of an interview, but one that is also shaped by factors preceding and outside of the individual interview, a process we call “meta-elicitation.” We argue that this form of reciprocal peer interviewing offers a view of the emic that is both participant-led and uniquely balanced between collective and individual perspectives. However, we also argue that shared authority and rapport are actively, and not always successfully, negotiated in such interviews. To prepare participants for peer interviewing, we hosted a 1-day workshop involving interview training, planning, and the recording of interviews. To maximize quality of such projects, we recommend that external researchers consider carefully (1) the balance of structure and flexibility in designing the workshop and interviews, (2) thorough preparation of participants, and (3) the role of meta-elicitation dynamics during analysis.

The retina is a part of the central nervous system, a thin multilayer with neuronal lamination, responsible for detecting, preprocessing, and sending visual information to the brain. Many retinal diseases are characterized by hemodynamic perturbations and neurodegeneration leading to vision loss and reduced quality of life. Since catecholamines and respective bindings sites have been characterized in the retina, we systematically reviewed the literature with regard to retinal expression, distribution and function of alpha1 (α1)-, alpha2 (α2)-, and beta (β)-adrenoceptors (ARs). Moreover, we discuss the role of the individual adrenoceptors as targets for the treatment of retinal diseases.

The theory of the executive activity of a personality and the ability to determine its correlates are analyzed. High efficiency executive activity is considered as a predictor of a high quality of life and professional activity of an individual. The results of the study of the individual psychological properties of the personality associated with the characteristics of performing activities are presented. A combination of properties is highlighted: irritability, sociability, extraversion, which positively affect the type of execution. They form a triad closely associated with all the properties of executive activities. Some personality properties that inhibit the development of characteristics necessary for effectiveness are identified. Aggressiveness and high emotional lability are characteristic of students with low responsibility. According to the research results, mutually exclusive properties are organization and openness. The definition of determinants and correlates of performing activities opens up opportunities for psychologists and educators to create spaces for the development of a highly effective personality. Executive activity is a system construct. Understanding its structure allows us to see its flexibility and form individual trajectories of learning and personality development.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role and influence of nursing in the hospital accreditation process. It is a qualitative study, conducted in a private hospital of Belo Horizonte. The study subjects were nine nurses and 15 nursing technicians. Data collection was through semi-structured interviews, which were subjected to content analysis. The results showed that the role of the nursing team in the accreditation involves care, administrative, educational and research issues. The study subjects presented different perceptions regarding the influence of the accreditation process in their work. The positive aspects of personal growth and valorization of the curriculum were highlighted as well as negative aspects such as stress and little professional valorization. Therefore, it is necessary that the professionals understand the logic of the process and act with a view to the interdisciplinarity and overcoming the fragmentation of care, thus achieving integral healthcare and the quality of care desired.

Introduction. Pedagogical modeling determines the possibilities of clarifying the used scientific knowledge by teachers in the system of lifelong education and creating new scientific knowledge as a product of theorization, development of anthropologically determined relationships and focused on innovative and productive functioning of environments. The problem of using and encouraging teachers to solve problems using pedagogical modeling is of interest from the s tandpoint of the formed professional skill and scientific and pedagogical activity.Materials and methods. Theoretical and empirical research methods were used in the structure of the work: analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, comparison, scientific theorization, study of the work of teachers and student students, registration method, methods of mathematical statistics. The fundamentals of the determination and refinement of the conceptual apparatus were determined in the constructs of the traditional pedagogical methodology (broad, narrow, local meanings) and in the constructs of the innovative pedagogical methodology (adaptive-productive meaning, functional-labor meaning, epistemological-personalized meaning).Results. Pedagogical modeling is determined in the context of the fulfillment of professional and labor functions – in the teacher’s activities, the practice-oriented use of pedagogical modeling predominates, in the activities of the scientific and pedagogical worker there are practical and science-based possibilities of pedagogical modeling. Pedagogical modeling is determined by the resource of personality development and the formation of a culture of individual personality work. In the structure of theorizing the quality of solving problems of forming a culture of independent work of an individual, pedagogical modeling ensures the success of achieving defined and implemented goals of an individual’s activity. Pedagogical modeling is determined by the element and construct of the formation of productivity and success of a person. The system of lifelong education reveals the orientation of the student’s personality development in the context of the formed meanings and technologies of training and education.Discussion and Conclusions. Pedagogical modeling in the professional activity of a teacher and a scientific and pedagogical worker has a general system of theorizing results, but different directions and constructs of creating new didactic and professional pedagogical knowledge. The quality of using pedagogical modeling reveals the prospects for the development of the individual, lifelong education and society as a whole.

The article establishes that creativity is a complex, interdisciplinary problem that attracts the scientific interest of specialists in various fields of knowledge, especially pedagogy and psychology. The purpose of the article is to identify the main aspects of the problem of creativity and to outline the relevant areas of scientific psychological and pedagogical research. It is revealed that creativity is reasonably considered as a universal personality trait, an integral creative ability. Psychological and pedagogical research emphasizes the important place and role of creativity in training and activities. It was found that creativity is mainly associated with creativity and talent of the individual, with the development of his creative abilities. The connection of creativity with other personality traits, in particular with the level of its intellectual development, as well as with imagination, intuition, the need for self-actualization, etc., is being actively developed. It is stated that in the psychological and pedagogical scientific literature the question of at what age one should start work on the formation of creativity or which age is the most favorable for this continues to be discussed. Some scholars argue that the formation of creativity should begin in the early stages of personality development, others believe that especially favorable for the development of creativity is the senior school age. It was found that scientists are interested in the development of creativity in higher education, including pedagogy. Creativity is considered as a component of professional skill. One of the aspects of the problem of creativity and the corresponding direction of psychological and pedagogical research is creative thinking. The issue of creative competence is also being developed. Much of the research on certain issues is devoted to the conditions, methods and technologies of formation and development of creativity. These include creative environment, search and research and invention activities, practical classes, information and communication, interactive (game), design technologies, case method, design, modeling.
