The purpose of this study is to review the postgraduate theses on science/physics education in Turkey to guide the teaching of the sound concept. Although the theses examined within the scope of this study belong to a certain region, the previous literature shows us that the learning difficulties/misconceptions are generally independent of culture. Thirty-three theses in the database of The Council of Higher Education Thesis Center were analyzed inductively in the semi-systematic review process. For this, the stages of content analyses were used: Elimination and coding, placing them in themes, ensuring reliability and validity were followed respectively. Unit of analyses was conclusions of the theses and suggestions of the theses. In conclusion, both conventional and contemporary approaches have a positive effect on achievement or conceptual change on the sound concept. On the other hand, students and teachers/ candidates, in general, cannot relate their knowledge of sound to daily life, their level of knowledge is inadequate, and they have misconceptions/errors and confusions. It is beneficial to consider this situation in education. The most important output of this study is the lists of possible misconceptions or confusion about the concept of sound. Teachers and researchers can use these lists in their lessons or research. Keywords: education, physics, science, sound, thesis

This study was aimed at providing practical information to improve Korean adolescents’ wellness by empirically identifying its correlation with sports participation and having an internal health locus of control (IHLC) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study comprised both a pilot test and a main study. We recruited 844 Korean adolescents as subjects in January 2021 to participate in an online self-reported survey. The reliability and validity of the scales used (sports participation, IHLC, and wellness) were verified through a pilot test. In the main study, we verified the differences between all variables according to adolescents’ demographic characteristics and the structural relationship of sports participation, IHLC, and wellness. Sports participation had a positive effect on IHLC (p < 0.001) and wellness (p < 0.001). Additionally, IHLC had a positive effect on wellness (p < 0.001). In juvenile educational institutions, there is a need to develop strategies to increase wellness, sports participation, and IHLC among adolescent students, which can improve their wellness in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. As the number of those with autism spectrum disorder increases, the need for postsecondary transition services does as well. Current research acknowledges parents and caretakers as a vital part of the transition process, but there is currently no standardized way to include them. Through a systematic review process examining parent and family experiences, best practices were developed to increase feelings of preparedness and decrease anxiety for all parties.

Background: Every step in the systematic review process has challenges, ranging from resistance by review teams to adherence to standard methodology to low-energy commitment to full participation. These challenges can derail the project and result in significant delays, duplication of work, and failure to complete the review. Communication during the systematic review process is key to ensuring it runs smoothly and is identified as a core competency for librarians involved in systematic reviews.Case Presentation: This case report presents effective communication approaches that our librarians employ to address challenges encountered while working with systematic review teams. The communication strategies we describe engage teams through information, questions, and action items and lead to productive collaborations with publishable systematic reviews.Conclusions: Effective communication with review teams keeps systematic review projects moving forward. The techniques covered in this case study strive to minimize misunderstandings, educate collaborators, and, in our experience, have led to multiple successful collaborations and publications. Librarians working in the systematic review space will recognize these challenges and can adapt these techniques to their own environments.

Abstrak Ciri-ciri murid yang mempunyai masalah pembelajaran boleh dikenal pasti melalui perkembangan kemahiran membaca, mengira, kognitif dan sosio-emosi mereka. Guru prasekolah yang kurang berpengetahuan mengenai ciri-ciri murid bermasalah pembelajaran akan menghadapi pelbagai kesulitan dalam mengajar murid bermasalah pembelajaran. Ini termasuk kesukaran mengawal kelas, tidak dapat memberi perhatian kepada murid bermasalah pelajaran, kesukaran menggunakan bahan bantu mengajar visual atau maujud secara efektif dalam  pengajaran dan pembelajaran murid bermasalah pembelajaran,  dan tidak  dapat berkomunikasi dengan murid tersebut.  Tujuan kajian ini adalah  until mengenal pasti tahap pengetahuan guru prasekolah mengenai ciri-ciri pelajar bermasalah pembelajaran. Kajian ini adalah sebuah kajian kes tunggal (single case) kualitatif. Kajian ini  melibatkan 10 responden  yang terdiri daripada guru-guru sebuah tadika swasta. Kajian ini hanya dijalankan satu tadika sahaja kerana  kekangan  Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP). Instrumen kajian ini diadaptasi mengikut kesesuaian kajian. Ujian pengetahuan iaitu satu set ujian dengan kaedah pengskoran. Setelah itu, pengumpulan data diikuti dengan penganalisisan data kajian. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan guru prasekolah mempunyai tahap pengetahuan yang sederhana mengenai ciri- ciri murid masalah pembelajaran. Oleh itu,  guru-guru prasekolah perlu diberi pendedahan mengenai ciri-ciri murid bermasalah pembelajaran dan strategi  untuk mengajar murid-murid tersebut melalui seminar, kursus atau bengkel. Pengetahuan mengenai ciri-ciri masalah pembelajaran, dapat membantu guru untuk mengawal tingkah laku murid tersebut, memberi perhatian yang sepatutnya, menggunakan bahan bantu mengajar yang efektif dan mendorong murid tersebut dalam komunikasi. Abstract Students with learning difficulties can be identified through their literacy, numeracy, cognitive, social and emotional developments. Preschool teachers without the sufficient knowledge on the  characteristics of students learning difficulties will face  problems in managing the class, paying less attention to the students’ needs and using less visual and realia teaching aids as parts of teaching and learning strategies as well as facing difficulties in communicating with the students. The purpose of this study was to examine the level of knowledge among preschool teachers on the characteristics of learning difficulties. . This study employed the qualitative case study design and   involved only 10 participants from a private kindergarten during Movement Control Order (MCO). The instrument consists of a  knowledge test which was adapted  according to the objective of the study. The validity and reliability were evaluated according to the instrument used. The score of the knowledge test was used to measure the respondents ‘level of  knowledge. The data were gathered and analysed. The findings indicate that preschool teachers  have moderate knowledge on the characteristics of students with learning difficulties. Thus, teachers need to be given exposure in overcoming students’ learning difficulties through seminars, courses or workshops. Through exposure, teachers will be  able to discover effective solutions and learning strategies for the students. The collaboration between teachers and parents is also necessary to cater for the needs of students with learning difficulties.

Abstract Because of the differing definitions of the margins of thoracic surgery as a specialty and the variability in the training curricula among European countries, the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons formed a task force to elaborate a consensual proposal. The first step comprised creating a harmonized syllabus that was completed and published in 2018. This publication presents a proposal for a curriculum upon which the task force and the external expert reviewers have agreed. The curriculum was developed by the task force: each module and item describe the expected level of knowledge, skills and attitudes to be attained by the participants; learning opportunities, assessment tools and minimal clinical exposures have been defined as well. Competence in terms of non-technical skills has been defined for each module according to the CanMEDS (http://www.royalcollege.ca/rcsite/canmeds/canmeds-framework-e) glossary. The different modules were subsequently submitted to an internal and an external review process and re-edited accordingly before final validation. The authors hope that this document will serve as a roadmap for both thoracic surgical trainees and mentors. It should further guide continuous professional development. However, evolving scientific and technological advances are expected to modify the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders in the future and hence will mandate periodical revisions of the document.

The purpose of this paper is to verify the knowledge that is useful for legume producers in relation to consumers’ eating habits in the field of legume products. According to experts, leguminous products have a positive effect on human health. The tendency towards healthy eating habits is also associated with the idea of sustainable consumption. The authors have attempted to combine these two trends. The main goal was to determine, among consumers, the level of knowledge about legumes, product purchase motives, and preferred places of purchase. This study was carried out with the use of an authorial questionnaire. In total, 1067 respondents from all regions of Poland participated in the study. The Statistica 13.1PL programme was used for statistical analyses. Methods used: descriptive statistics, discriminant analysis and linear regression analysis. With the aid of the conducted analyses, it was possible to determine that peas, beans, soybeans and lentils are the most recognised and most frequently consumed products (in various configurations) among the residents of the studied groups. The most important motives for their purchase among the surveyed consumers were “flavour”, “price” and the fact that these products can be an alternative to meat products and contain a lot of protein and fibre. The purchase channels that legume product producers must pay attention to are large-area shops and online sales. Sustainable consumption awareness for the consumers of legume products is best defined by a variable in the regression equation—“no harmful substances used during its production”. The legume products market has not yet flourished in Poland. The products are an excellent alternative to meat products due to their high protein content. Pro-health education has a measurable effect and consumer awareness is growing. Producers should use this knowledge by emphasising, in the promotion of products, that the products are produced in accordance with the idea of sustainable development, without the use of harmful substances, and that no means are used to extend the shelf life.

Systematic Review Process

An American K-12 cooperative educational services provider (“The Agency”) has an issue: partner school districts are saving money by building internal capacity for professional development, rather than fully utilizing expertise from the Agency. The aim of this evidence-based case study is to inform the Agency on capacity-building for innovation. The researchers performed three separate rapid evidence assessments, followed by a standard systematic review process to synthesize findings across 31 studies. Key findings identified from the research include (1) organizational capacity and program evaluation lead to organizational sustainability, (2) agency leadership should guide strategic organizational change in order to establish a shared vision for evaluation and feedback, and (3) organizations benefit from practicing continuous and ongoing learning through feedback loops. The findings of this study may be generalizable to other similar educational service providers or non-profits looking to strengthen organizational capacity and partnerships.
