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.

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. Keywords: climate change, level of knowledge, level of thinking skills, teaching method

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.

Traditional Teaching Methods

English has been a subject in the university classroom since the 1980s. This subject helps produce more excellent talents in economics, politics, and culture who are proficient in English language in China, and enable our country to better integrate with the global economy. At the same time, the relationship between our country and the international community has become closer. However, the social environment is constantly developing and changing. The traditional teaching methods can be said to be ineffective and associated with many shortcomings. Traditional teaching methods were used in the English lessons. Under this teaching mode, students were the passive subjects on the receiving end of what have been taught. The teacher was always talking in the classroom and the students were listening. This teaching style also affects the effectiveness of learning. Compared with traditional teaching, interactive teaching method has its unique advantages. It is a new teaching mode and under this teaching mode, students can actively communicate with teachers in the classroom to complete learning tasks. The initiative to perform self-directed learning is also greatly improved, and the students’ English proficiency can be improved.
