This article presents some findings of ongoing investigation on preferences and activities of university students in an emergency remote education context. A qualitative research was developed through the application of two controlled instruments (questionnaires), and a more productive one (recordings of testimonies). The main contribution of this work is the identification of three student profiles based on the strategies they develop to study with technologies in their personal environments. They are known as Gutenberg, Amphibian, and Maker profiles, and some of the main characteristics of their techno-pedagogical practices are described here. The Gutenberg profile defines a group of students whose study practices and preferences are fundamentally linked to analog technologies; the Amphibian profile is defined by the combination of analogical and digital strategies, however, there is an emphasis on the emulation of analog practices. Finally, Maker profiles prefer digital technologies and they are able to recreate teaching resources into new digital objects. The results indicate that students appropriate technologies in a particular and flexible way, which puts in tension the categories native digital and millennial, since preferences and activities seem to show the presence of analogical practices along with other emerging ones.

This qualitative research involving semi-structured interviews with Ukrainian university students in Canada helps to understand their educational experience using the concept of cultural capital put forward by Pierre Bourdieu. It was found that Ukrainian students possess high levels of cultural capital, which provides them with advantage in Canada. Specific patterns of social inequality and state-sponsored obstacles to social reproduction lead to particular ways of acquiring cultural capital in Ukraine represented by a more equitable approach to the availability of print, access to extracurricular activities, and popularity of enriched curriculum. Further research on cultural capital in post-socialist countries is also discussed.

ABSTRACK Ambiguity is a meaningful thing or has more than two meanings. Most people misinterpret what is read and hear. This can occur both in spoken speech and writing. This interpretation of more than one can raise doubts and confusion in making decisions about meaning referred to, so that the reader must be observant in grasping the meaning of that intended by the writer. Ambiguity at this level occurs because of the sounds of spoken language. sometimes it can be misinterpreted the meaning of a word or phrase because during a conversation the phrase or word is said too quickly. This study aims to describe the ambiguity of the Indonesian language used by Iqra University students in composing narratives and papers. This type of research is qualitative research that is naturally or in the context of a wholeness. by using descriptive collected in the form of words and not numbers. The data in this study are data that contain ambiguity using the theories of experts when analyzing. Data collection techniques namely after describing the form of words and phrases in Indonesian written by students after that are analyzed according to theory. the results showed that in students' essays there were words and phrases that contained ambiguity.

Over the last two decades, Taiwan has experienced a surge in immigration due to marriage. With the growth in the incidence of international marriages, the number of immigrant children in Taiwan has sharply increased. Career development is an important factor worldwide and is thus an important issue for immigrant children in Taiwan. Many factors influence the choices of new immigrant children for their career development. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors influencing the career development of new immigrant children. The research was conducted using the qualitative research method, and data were collected from 30 participants who were new-immigrant-children university students. After analyzing the interviews of the participants, the results were analyzed. Further, on the basis of analysis of previous literature and interviews, recommendations were made for the career development of new immigrant children, such as strengthen the attainment of and respect for multi-culturalism through School, family, and social systems.

Purpose: The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, and queer/questioning students normally occupy a marginalized and at-risk position in classes and especially in physical education. In this paper, the authors explore the ways in which queer tango can contribute to counteracting heteronormativity and opening up students to new interactions and identifications through the performance of different gender performances in Physical Education and Sport Tertiary Education. Method: A queer tango session was carried out with 111 university students (91 men and 19 women aged 19–22 years). Data were obtained from interviews, video records, and open questionnaires about the practice. Results: The findings reveal that the performance of dance roles that are contrary to the heteronormative order reinforced both heteronormativity and queer embodiments in Physical Education and Sport Tertiary Education. Conclusion: An isolated activity is not enough, and more queer pedagogical practices should be introduced in order to make meaningful changes to mainstream students’ ideology and behaviors.

Abstract This study investigates differences between Pedagogy and Teachers' Certificate in Mathematics undergraduates, males and females, from public and private institutions with respect to motivational orientations, cognitive styles and perception of pedagogical practices for creativity implemented by their teachers, as well as relationships between these variables. Three hundred and sixty-five students answered scales regarding motivation to learn, cognitive styles, and teaching practices for creativity. Intrinsic motivation predominated in the private university students and extrinsic motivation in the public university students. The data revealed differences between courses, gender and type of university concerning cognitive styles. Private university and pedagogy students had a more positive perception of professors' teaching practices that promote creativity. Positive relationships were observed between the factors of the instrument of pedagogical practices for creativity, intrinsic motivation and nonconformist transformer style, and between the various cognitive styles and intrinsic and extrinsic motivational orientation.

A partir del concepto de traducción y de comunidad de humanos y no – humanos de Bruno Latour, y retomando algunos conceptos estéticos centrales en la OOO (Ontología Orientada a los Objetos), este articulo expone un tipo de traducción post-humana estrechamente relacionada con la situación global del capitalismo computacional. En este orden extremo del capitalismo global, que está gobernado por algoritmos y condicionado por techno - políticas, la difusión transnacional de las tecnologías digitales instaura un lenguaje sensorial único que traduce, uniformándolas, culturas distintas y al mismo tiempo garantiza el control sobre el presente y el futuro por medio del Big Data, así como nos advierte Armen Avanessian. Su máximo agente es el design de objetos tecnológicos y servicios. A partir de esta constatación se aporta el ejemplo de un proyecto artístico que, trabajando con la traducción de datos por medio de un diseño alternativo, desvela este estado de la cultura digital actual, traduciendo y explicitando las funciones ocultas de algunos objetos digitales de uso cotidiano –como el teléfono móvil– en una instalación con objetos tecnológicos y mapas de datos. Based on the Bruno Latour’s concept of translation and community of humans and non - humans, and retaking some central aesthetic concepts in the OOO (Object Oriented Ontology), this article exposes a type of post-human translation closely related to the global situation of computational capitalism. In this extreme order of global capitalism, which is governed by algorithms and conditioned by techno - policies, the transnational diffusion of digital technologies establishes a unique sensory language that translates, unifying them, different cultures and at the same time guarantees control over the present and the future through Big Data, as Armen Avanessian warns us. Its maximum agent is the design of technological objects and services. From this finding, the example of an artistic project is provided that, working with the translation of data through an alternative design, reveals this state of the current digital culture, translating and explaining the hidden functions of some digital objects for everyday use –Like the mobile phone– in an installation with technological objects and data maps.

In the article, based on the analysis of the definition of the category of reality, as well as the main trends in the development of non­classical philosophy, the legitimacy of introducing the concept of digital reality into the scientific and philosophical language is substantiated. The basis for asserting the existence of digital reality in the structure of the universe is a specific set of properties of digital technologies (digital objects), which distinguishes them from other objects of the universe and determines their special existence. In the article, based on the highlighted properties of digital technologies, they are defined as functional objects that perform operations with information presented in discrete form (measured in bits) by executing programs (algorithm) on a physical medium.

Este estudo teve como propósito discutir alguns resultados da pesquisa intitulada “Problemas práticos profissionais: aportes teórico-metodológicos do ensino de geografia na formação continuada de professores dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental”. Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral consistiu em compreender se a formação continuada, centrada nos problemas práticos profissionais, contribui para que as professoras superem o ensino empírico dos conteúdos geográficos. Em consonância, os objetivos específicos visaram: discutir os principais conceitos da teoria histórico-cultural e do Ensino de Geografia; mediar a elaboração dos planos de aula; e entender a formação continuada como possibilidade de superação do ensino empírico dos conteúdos geográficos. A pesquisa qualitativa e os procedimentos de análise dos planos de aula, de observação e de narrativas foram utilizados para levantamento dos dados junto às professoras durante o curso de formação continuada, que contou com os conteúdos de paisagem, lugar, urbano e cidade. Como resultado, mesmo diante da complexidade do tema, houve mudanças nas práticas pedagógicas das professoras, entre as quais se destacaram: o avanço na apropriação desses conceitos, na contextualização dos conteúdos, na articulação destes com os conhecimentos cotidianos dos alunos, na organização de textos e imagens e nas tarefas dos alunos do coletivo para o individual. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Teoria histórico-cultural, Problemas práticos profissionais, Ensino de Geografia, Conceitos.   PRACTICAL PROFESSIONAL PROBLEMS: theoretical and methodological contributions of teaching Geography in continuing training of teachers from the early years in the Elementary School ABSTRACT This study aimed to discuss some results of the research entitled" practical professional problems: theoretical and methodological contributions of teaching geography in continuing training of teachers from the early years in the elementary school". Therefore, the general objective was to understand if continued training, focused on practical professional problems, contributes to teachers surmount empirical teaching of geographic contents. In harmony, the specific objectives aimed to: discuss the main concepts of historical-cultural theory and geography teaching; mediate the preparation of lesson plans; and to understand continued training as a possibility of surpassing the empirical teaching of geographic contents.
