Research Analysis

Collaboration in all educational institutions including pre-school establishments is a topical issue especially within the framework of competence-based learning approaches. The aim of the study was to find out what is the collaboration between pre-school and parents in relation to the acquisition of pre-school curriculum which in Latvia is defined as compulsory for children in the age of 5 to 6 (7) years. A quantitative approach was used in the research and two surveys were conducted in April 2020. Both parents and pre-school teachers who work with 5 to 6 (7) year old children were asked to participate in the on-line survey, which was developed in the platform VisiDati.lv. Analysis of collaboration between parents and preschool was based on the framework of six types of school-family-community involvement created by J.L. Epstein. The research analysis revealed that pre-school teachers and parents have different understandings of the child’s need for parental support so that parents can get involved and promote the acquisition of compulsory pre-school curriculum. Teachers and parents have clear communication channels to fully exchange the necessary information, however, to form collaboration, teachers have difficulties in developing individual curricula in some cases. The research results are useful to understand what hinders cooperation and how to improve it.

Many schools and different educational institutions offer a wide range of out-of-class activities that promote the development of adolescents for a world in which people need to collaborate, to trust each other, to respect other people, different views and traditions. These activities deepen the knowledge acquired in the class in different school subjects, music, art, the use of modern technologies and in other fields. Interest-related education (out-of-class) activities support school teachers and parents in the process of the development of skills, abilities and personal traits, values for life. The task of any teacher in schools and out-of-school activities is to integrate the development of values in their daily activities. The teachers become the managers of the process of the development of values. A small-scale research was carried out with the aim to learn the priority values of teachers working in interest related education and the opportunities of interest-related education in the development of values of adolescents. The questionnaires were used to reach the aim of the research.

Public Health Strategies

As global communities respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increasing emphasis on public health strategies, like implementation of ‘lockdowns’, closure of educational institutions and offices, cancellation of events, and enforcement of social distancing measures to slow the rate of transmission. The main objective of this article is to find out how the public health interventions and national lockdown affected people’s perception and attitudes to limited mobility and how people reacted by their spatial mobility behaviours in new reality of the first weeks of COVID-19 pandemic in Poland. The study is based on the on-line survey research conducted among Polish residents supplemented by the analysis of data on changes in the spatial mobility based on Google dataset. The obtained results highlight high level of self-discipline in the population in response to restrictions and social distancing obligations, and as a result significantly lower spatial mobility level, before the restrictions began to be lifted. The size of the respondents’ place of residence had the greatest impact on changes in spatial mobility.

The influence of technology, particularly the calculator, in the middle school classroom has become a compelling issue for both practicing and prospective teachers. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (1989) encourages the use of calculators in the middle grades, but teachers face a number of difficulties when they introduce calculators in their classrooms. In our work with both prospective and practicing teachers, we frequently hear the same concerns, particularly from middle school teachers, about incorporating calculators into the curriculum. These teachers ask, “When should I use calculators?” and “What should students know before I allow them to use calculators?” In particular, teachers want to be able to justify their answers to these questions to other teachers and parents who might be concerned about including calculator use in the middle school curriculum. The larger question that teachers often ask is “On what basis do I make the decision to use calculators with my students?”

The increase in student enrolment and the need  to cater to students of diverse backgrounds have led to the adoption of blended learning in many higher learning institutions. Blended learning, which allows both face to face interaction and on-line delivery, has been adopted into many curricula. One such institution is University Technology MARA which is slowly introducing features of blended learning in its course syllabus beginning with practice to online assessments. However, to ensure successful implementation of blended learning as part of the curricula, there are several aspects for consideration such as learner and teacher readiness for blended learning. This paper examines issues regarding the use of blended learning as a delivery method at UiTM Kedah . The discussion in this paper focuses on learner’ readiness and perceptions of the blended learning environment. The data collected for this study are responses from learners to a questionnaire survey. The research findings form the basis for recommendations for the development of learning and teaching practices using blended learning approaches to enhance learners' learning experiences.

O mercado da prestação de serviços odontológicos tem se tornado cada vez mais competitivo devido à grande quantidade de profissionais e clínicas em funcionamento no Brasil. Para se destacar neste mercado, é preciso estabelecer diferenciais de tratamento e relacionamento com o paciente. Nesse sentido, o marketing de relacionamento pode colaborar para que haja personalização do atendimento, demonstrando uma prestação de serviço de excelência, fidelizando e aprofundando a relação com o paciente. A partir da pesquisa de campo utilizando a ferramenta de questionário on-line Survey Monkey, o presente artigo procurou responder ao seguinte problema de pesquisa: Até que ponto a utilização do marketing de relacionamento pode colaborar com o sucesso das empresas que prestam serviços odontológicos? O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi compreender os fatores críticos que podem contribuir para o sucesso de uma clínica de prestação de serviços odontológicos. E como objetivos específicos: compreender a relação entre a evolução do marketing nível 1.0 ao 3.0, as demandas atuais e sua relação com o marketing de relacionamento em serviços; identificar os fatores mais relevantes para a fidelização de clientes que buscam por serviços odontológicos; e levantar a frequência e os critérios utilizados pelos pacientes a buscarem uma clínica odontológica. O resultado da pesquisa indicou que a aplicação do marketing de relacionamento pode ser de grande importância na fidelização do cliente. Isso é demonstrado nas respostas recebidas, posto que os principais aspectos encontrados nos resultados mostram que características não concernentes à parte técnica da Odontologia, como a confiança transmitida pelo profissional, qualidade em geral, formas de pagamento flexíveis, são pontos altamente considerados pelo paciente na escolha e retorno ao mesmo profissional e/ou clínica odontológica.

Standard Development

Improving professional training and optimizing the work of doctors who provide medical care to patients who come into contact with harmful occupational factors require the approval of a professional standard for the occupational pathology physician. The purpose of the study was to analyze the opinion of the professional community about the importance of various labor functions and labor actions, priority knowledge and skills of occupational pathologists in the development of a professional standard. To achieve this goal, an on-line survey of physicians in occupational pathology and occupational medicine was conducted. Analysis of the survey results showed that the significance of professional competencies is evaluated by specialists to varying degrees. Primary focus is on examination of professional suitability and the link between diseases and the profession. However, correlations of competencies of various blocks indicate the importance of all areas of work of a professional pathologist, which should be taken into account when training specialists in this profile.

Water Uses

This paper reports results from a study comparing perceived risk associated with various recycled water uses in two Australian locations, both in the state of Victoria: the capital city Melbourne, and Bendigo a regional urban centre. Both locations are experiencing ‘drought’, but Bendigo is experiencing this in a more acute manner. A case study is used in each location. Both case studies involve future use of recycled water in new commercial buildings. An on-line survey was used to measure attitudes to recycled water of the future occupants of both buildings. The study found perceived risk associated with 11 uses of recycled water increased as the use became increasingly personal. Interestingly, no difference in perceived risk associated with 11 uses of recycled water was found between locations. Prior experience (use) of recycled water was found to be a significant and positive factor in reducing risk perception. Various attitudinal variables were found to be significant influences on perceived risk. Results indicate that reducing perceived risk of recycled water use may increase satisfaction with its use.
