Tässä kvalitatiivisessa tutkimuksessa selvitettiin biologian ja maantieteen opetuksessa käytettyjä ilmastonmuutosta koskevia opetusmenetelmiä ja niiden tukemista tiedon ja ajattelun tasoista. Tutkimuskysymyksiksi muodostuivat: 1) Mitä ilmastonmuutoksen oppimista edistäviä opetusmenetelmiä biologiassa ja maantieteessä käytetään? 2) Millaisia oppilaiden tiedon ja ajattelun tasoja ilmastonmuutoksen opetuksessa käytetyt opetusmenetelmät tukevat? Tutkimukseen valikoitui 14 kansainvälistä tieteellistä artikkelia (N=159). Valinnan kriteereinä olivat: oppisisältö, julkaisuvuodet 2000–2019 sekä kohderyhminä peruskoululaiset ja lukiolaiset. Lisäksi artikkelissa tuli olla ainakin yksi opetusmenetelmä. Opetusmenetelmät tutkittiin aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysillä. Opetusmenetelmien tukemia tiedon ja ajattelun tasoja analysoitiin teoriaohjaavalla sisällönanalyysillä. Sekä biologiassa että maantieteessä yleisimpiä opetusmenetelmiä olivat tutkiva oppiminen, ongelmanratkaisu, ryhmätyöt ja opettajakeskeiset opetusmenetelmät. Maantieteessä käytettiin biologiaa monipuolisemmin erilaisia ilmastonmuutoksen opiskelua edistäviä opetusmenetelmiä. Opetusmenetelmät tukivat korkeampia tiedon ja ajattelun tasoja harvemmin kuin alempia. Osa käytetyistä opetusmenetelmistä mahdollistaa omien kokemusten jakamisen ja päättelyn ryhmässä, mikä tukee opiskelijoiden oman ajattelun ymmärtämistä ja kriittistä ajattelua.   Teaching methods used in biology and geography concerning climate change education Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the teaching methods used in biology and geography concerning climate change education (CCE) and about their level of knowledge and thinking skills. The research questions were: (1) What kind of teaching methods were used in biology and geography to enhance CCE and (2) How do teaching methods support the levels of knowledge and thinking skills of students. This qualitative study focused on articles of biology and geography teaching and CC. Articles for the analyses were sourced from scientific databases using search terms e.g. CC, and teaching methods. All searches were based on the following criteria: international peer reviewed articles published 2000–2019; articles concerning teaching methods regarding CC; and the target group being 12-18-year-old students. 14 articles (N=159) filled the criteria. Teaching methods were analyzed by material-based content analysis and the levels of knowledge and thinking supported by the teaching methods by theory-guided content analysis. The levels of knowledge and thinking supported by these teaching methods were analyzed using theory-guided content analysis. Results show that both in biology and geography, enquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, group work and teacher-centred methods were used most often. In geography, the methods supporting CCE varied more than in biology teaching. The higher levels of the knowledge and thinking skills were supported more seldom than the lower ones. The results of this study are meant to be implicated in supporting teaching of the CC. Some of the teaching methods used allow for the sharing of individual’s own experiences and reasoning in the group, which in turn support students’ understanding of their own thinking and critical thinking and which are the key features in discussing problems such as climate change.

Ratkaisukeskeisen ilmastokasvatuksen tavoitteena on oppia tietoja ja taitoja, joiden avulla opitaan vähentämään ilmastopäästöjä ja sopeutumaan ilmastonmuutokseen parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla. Ilmastonmuutoksen hillintä ja siihen sopeutuminen vaatii onnistuessaan myös tunteiden huomioon ottamista. Ilmastokasvatuksessa toivon ylläpitäminen on mahdollista merkityksiä luovien toimintastrategioiden avulla. Oleellista on, että oppija pohtii tekojensa merkityksellisyyttä, minkä avulla voidaan välttää toiveajattelua. Alakoulussa ilmastokasvatus perustuu tutkivaan oppimiseen ja dialogiseen, oppijan arkikäsityksen huomioon ottavaan vuorovaikutukseen. Vuorovaikutuksellinen opetus sitouttaa oppijat opetukseen. Artikkelissa pohditaan ilmastokasvatuksen toteutumista alakoulun oppilaiden näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin avoimella kyselylomakkeella kahdeksasta alakoulun luokasta, viidestä eri koulusta. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu 152 oppilaan vastauksista. Vastaukset analysoitiin laadullisella sisällönanalyysillä ja teemoitettiin fenomenografisesti eri käsitekategorioihin. Käsitekategoriat muodostuivat neljästä teemasta: 1) Uuden oppimisesta, 2) kiinnostuksen lisääntymisestä, 3) ilmaston-muutokseen liittyvästä toivosta ja 4) ilmastonmuutokseen liittyvästä surusta.   Primary school pupils' experiences on the implementation of intentional climate change education: observations on learning and emotions Abstract The goal of intentional climate change education is to learn the knowledge and skills to reduce climate emissions and adapt to climate change in the best possible way. Mitigating and adapting to climate change also requires taking emotions into account. In climate change education hope is possible to maintain through meaningful coping strategies. It is essential that the learner reflects on the significance of his or her actions and thus avoids unnecessary wishful thinking. In primary school, climate education is based on inquiry-based learning and dialogical interaction that considers the learner's everyday thinking. Interactive learning process helps to engage learners. This article considers the implementation of climate education from the perspective of primary school pupils. The research material was collected with an open questionnaire from eight primary school classes from five different schools. The research material consists of 152 pupils’ answers. The responses were analysed by qualitative content analysis and were phenomenographically themed into different concept categories. The concept categories consisted of four themes: 1) learning from the new, 2) increasing interest, 3) hope related to climate change, and 4) grief related to climate change. Keywords: intentional climate change education, hope, primary school

Two important elements in the learning process at school are how students' understanding and learning activities are. On the other hand, most students only memorize algorithmic formulas without understanding the concept in depth. As a result, students' thinking abilities at low levels become dominant in learning operations. This study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the achievement of students' low-level geometry thinking skills between the learning group of  think pair share (TPS) and the two stay to stray (TSTS). This quantitative study was conducted on students in one of the junior high schools in the East Jakarta area. Data were obtained using instruments developed based on three initial levels of geometrical thinking according to van Hiele's theory. Data were analyzed with parametric statistics. The results of the data analysis concluded that there were differences in the achievement of the ability to think of low-level geometry students in the TPS and TSTS learning groups. Based on descriptive statistics, the average achievement of TPS group students is more than TSTS. According to the results of this study, learning the geometry of the triangle concept for junior high school students is suggested by learning TPS. There are indications based on the distribution of data that the level of thinking of students in geometry is mostly at the level of analysis.

The aim of this qualitative survey was to investigate what kind of teaching methods have been used in biology to promote biodiversity education (BDE) and how the methods support biodiversity (BD) learning. We found, in total, 317 international scientific articles published since 2000 which described the teaching methods regarding BDE and the teaching, and/or the learning. From these ones 12 articles specifically addressed the teaching methods of BD. The content of these articles was analysed in detail. The detailed analysis was based on (a) the categories of the teaching methods used, (b) the conception of learning in the Finnish National Core Curricula for Secondary schools and (c) the revised Bloom’s taxonomy and Stanny’s verbs concerning the levels of taxonomy. The most used teaching methods were hands-on instruction, experiential learning, and teacher presentation. The least used ones were games, roleplay, debates, service learning, study trips, and visits. In all the articles, various teaching methods used during the lessons were described. The items concerning the teaching methods, which supported students learning were active participation and interaction—mentioned in all the articles—followed by observation, experimental work, experiential learning, and techniques for increasing environmental awareness. The understanding of the different perspectives of BD and the development of self-evaluation were addressed in only four and two of the articles, respectively. The four types of knowledge were supported by the used teaching methods in nine articles jointly. The lower levels of thinking skills were well-supported by the used teaching methods. The highest level of thinking skills, such as synthesis and evaluation, received the least amount of attention.

Education Process

The effectiveness of education process from teachers´ perspective, as well as application of teaching strategies for enhancing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), is becoming an increasingly frequent subject of discussion across various fields. Bloom's taxonomy is known as the classification of educational goals. This has become the groundwork for many educators worldwide, who are using it to design activities for developing HOTS. This preliminary casestudy analyses knowledge of traffic and road safety within pupils, as well as their level of thinking skills in this field with emphasis on analytical skills and risk assessment in traffic. A didactic test was assembled to examine the level of thinking of 4th grade primary school pupils. The results showed that pupils´ level of knowledge in the field is age-adequate; however, in application of HOTS, as well as risk assessment, there is room for improvement.

Introduction. This paper focuses on the issue of conceptual thinking inherent in modern scientific dis-course. The idea is emphasized that in any field of pedagogical activity, the acquisition of subject knowledge and thinking skills requires an understanding of the subject content, which is considered to be a complex and methodologically im-portant task not only in secondary school instruction, but also in professional training. An equally important aspect related to the understanding and interpretation of the senses embedded in texts is the awareness of the semantic core of those concepts that form the pivotal foundation of scholarly text. It is posited that the semantic essence of concepts is always formed at the stage of their emergence in a particular field of knowledge and has to remain unchanged while it is further being evolved. Extending the foregoing, the emergence of new concepts involves their logical coordination with the semantic foundations of the conceptual system inherent in the relevant field of knowledge. Under other conditions, new concepts do not get enrooted, and the tentative to make use of them is at variance with the systemic and conventionally accepted interpretations of other concepts. Besides, it and confuses their semantic interrelations. Therefore, for each field of knowledge, the logical completeness and unambiguity of the semantic attributes of the employed concepts is essential. Purpose. This article is aimed to review the positions of the contemporary scholars in interpreting the tradi-tional concept "teaching methods". Furthermore, it illus-trates the paradoxical essence of the proposed conceptual oxymorons, and to this end, it attempts to prevent the distortion of the conceptual meanings of the established pedagogical entities. Among the employed research methods, the priority is given to “modi operandi” of content analysis, which are non-inherent in the qualitative characteristics of the pedagogical concept “teaching method”. Nonetheless, in recent decades they have been actively implanted in pedagogical discourse by budding researchers. Results. The study has analyzed the issues of conceptual thinking immanent to contemporary scientific discourse. In particular, it has concentrated on investigating the semantic dimensions of interpreting the pedagogical concept “teaching method”. In addition, it has illustrated the semantic maxims of its gradual modifications to the levels of “active”, “effective’, and “innovative”. Furthermore, the article has revealed the inaccurate and incorrect usage of the qualitative characteristics of the notion “teaching method”. Hence, it has actualized the necessity to eradicate the previously introduced conflicting concepts from a pedagogical domain in order to prevent the attempts of modifying the domestic pedagogical system in accordance with foreign educational practices. The proposed study stands out for its originality, since it presents the scholarly substantiation and multi-tudinous illustrations of the absurdity of the artificially coined and adopted qualitative characteristics of the notion “teaching method”, which are continuously employed in contemporary scientific discourse. Conclusion. On this basis, it has been summarized that in the last decade the spreading of illogical and contradictory interpretations of pedagogical concepts has caused confusion in the system of basic pedagogi-cal dominants (principles, concepts, and relations). This requires an uncompromising response from leading educationalists and scholars in order to eradicate from Pedagogy, which is a systematized field of knowledge, the imposed contradictory notions, and to prevent the attempts to modify the domestic pedagogical system to conform to foreign standards, which run counter to the pedagogical system of domestic Pedagogy. This study though far from being conclusive, yet proposes several insights into understanding the core of domestic pedagogical notions and provides implications for further research in this domain in terms of conceptual content and pedagogical entities in order to rid domestic Pedagogy of the conceptual disorder that is actively introduced by unknown "experts" into pedagogical information resources.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in China in December 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic hindered dental education, as school buildings were closed. Online dental teaching provided an alternative teaching tool for dental education. However, the efficiency of online dental teaching and student preferences for online dental teaching are unclear. Aim To investigate the satisfaction with online dental teaching practices among undergraduate dental students and standardized resident physician training students during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Methods A total of 104 undergraduate dental students and 57 standardized resident physician training students from Zhejiang University participated in the study. A 12-item survey was conducted. This investigation included the teaching methods received, frequency of classes, degree of satisfaction, preferred teaching method, whether to participate in a course regarding COVID-19 prevention, and the effects of teaching. The percentages were then calculated and evaluated for each item. Results A total of 161 students (104 undergraduate dental students and 57 standardized resident physician training students) participated in this survey. All students had online dental classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lecture-based learning (LBL), case-based learning (CBL), problem-based learning (PBL), team-based learning (TBL), and research-based learning (RBL) were selected as teaching methods. Students were more satisfied with LBL and CBL than PBL, RBL, and TBL. The majority of students had more than four classes per week. The most selected protective measures were hand washing, wearing masks, and wearing gloves. A total of 46.6% of students participated in courses on COVID-19. After training, the students consciously chose to wear face shields and protective clothing. Conclusions Dental students accepted online dental learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students preferred LBL and CBL and were satisfied with the classes. Courses on COVID-19 helped students understand how to prevent COVID-19 transmission in the dental clinic.
