Civic Competence

Nowadays it is a necessity to include the competence to the target component of education content.An individual and socially significant activity of real-world objects should be interconnected with the other target components of content and based on experience as a social requirement/Khutorskoy A.V, 2013. Civic competence is represented as: the unity of civil competence of the subject (Zimnyaya I.A.,2006), the unity of readiness and abilities, which allows the active, effective and responsible control of the rights and duties of a member of a democratic society, applying the knowledge and skills and civic qualities.The issue of development of civil competence was always faced teachers almost in all countries and was considered only as a pedagogical activity, and not as the educational problem.For the formation of civic competence, it is necessary first of all to form the abilities of both students and teachers who can make decisions in different living conditions - in different training situations (self-education) they can make decisions, identify problems and give solutions, as well as purposeful and responsible actions, at the same time developing creative and critical thinking.

Determining Factor

The education of young people is one of the recurring themes of Jane Austen's novels. In all her works there are references to the consequences of the education received or its shortcomings. This is a determining factor in the development of personality and Austen, who focuses her novels on people, places great importance on it. In this article, we will analyze the abundant references Austen makes on the subject of education and we will offer some information on this aspect in her sociocultural context, differentiating between education as a person's formation, on the one hand, and the acquisition of knowledge and skills on the other.

High Level

Hearing threshold levels (HTLs) were determined using audiometrically-normal subjects with and without earplugs for two hearing protection device (HPD) laboratory fitting protocols. The experimenter-fit (EF) protocol intended to estimate the optimum attenuation of an HPD. EF involved a high level of experimenter participation and a low level of subject participation—the experimenter optimally fit earplugs to the subject. The subject-fit (SF) protocol, on the other hand, intended to estimate the more typical attenuation achievable in the real-world by well-run hearing conservation programs (HCPs), therefore, inexperienced-in-HPD-use subjects fit one of two types of earplugs on themselves using only the manufacturer's on-package instructions and without experimenter assistance. The objective was to compare the attenuation performance of the two HPD fitting protocols which varied in subject and experimenter testing participation and involvement. As expected, significantly greater attenuation resulted under EF than SF. Comparisons of the SF data to real-world studies demonstrated that SF slightly overestimated real-world attenuation, but not by nearly as much as EF. Therefore, SF better estimated the level of noise protection likely to be afforded to actual HPD users. The factors of subject gender and number of trial repetitions per subject were studied as well but did not significantly affect HPD attenuation. The results supported the work currently underway by ANSI Working Group S12/WG11 to develop a new ANSI standard to be used for obtaining attenuation data for labeling purposes which recommends the SF procedure.

The City

¿Ha cambiado el concepto de ciudad en tan sólo 2400 años? Si la ciudad la componen los ciudadanos ¿son éstos distintos de los ciudadanos de las antiguas polis? Si el ciudadano es quien participa en las funciones de gobierno de su ciudad, ¿quién es ahora realmente, ciudadano? ¿Quién quiere serlo? y quién quisiera participar de dichas funciones, ¿cómo podría conseguirlo?En la sociedad actual se producen dos situaciones antagónicas que afectan al desarrollo de la ciudad, por un lado las administraciones, actuando orientadas al interés general, reconocen pero congelan las posibilidades de participar de la población en el urbanismo y la creación de ciudad; y por otro lado la sociedad se mueve y actúa al margen de las administraciones en la mejora de su entorno y sus condiciones de vida, desde las denominadas iniciativas urbanas. Cuáles son los motivos de esta situación y cómo hacer que ambos movimientos coincidan en la generación del denominado “Urbanismo Colaborativo”, es el objeto de este trabajo.AbstractHas the concept of city changed in only the past 2400 years? If the city is the one consisting the citizens, are these any different of the citizens ancient polis? If the citizen is one participating in his city’s government functions, who is the real citizen now a days? Who wants to be one? Who wants to participate in those functions? How could someone acomplish that?In today’s society, there are two antagonistic situations that are affecting the development of the city, on the one hand the administrations, acting orientated to the general interest, they recognize but freeze the possibilities that the citizens have of participating in urbanism and the creation of the city. And on the other hand, the society moves and acts outside of the administrations for the improvement of their environment and their living conditions, doing this from the named urban initiatives. What causes this situation and how to put together both movements and for them to agree in the generation of the named “Collaborative Urbanism” is the subject and what this study wants to acomplish.

Shed Light

With the advent of smart contracts, the benefits of decentralization offered by distributed ledger technologies could be implemented in sectors other than cryptocurrencies, such as Healthcare, Supply Chain, and Finance. Smart contracts, however, need oracles to fetch data from the real world, which, on the other hand, do not offer the same characteristics of decentralization as blockchain. Despite their importance, research on oracles is still in its infancy, and academic contribution on the subject is scarce and sporadic. With a bibliometric analysis, this study aims to shed light on the institutions and authors that are actively contributing to the oracle literature with the aim of promoting progress and cooperation. The study shows that although there is still a lack of collaboration worldwide, there are authors and institutions working in similar directions. On the other hand, it can be observed that most of the areas of research are poorly addressed while others are even uncovered.

The Subject

Teaching fiction is closely related to science because any sphere of science involves theoretical and applied practical meaning. While forming a fiction-reading student by teaching literature we should take into account both theoretical and applied systems of the literature and pay attention to its artistic nature. When the meaning of the word, a concept, or an idea influence the student, he/she starts to think deeply and attentively. Moreover, reading fiction affects consciousness differently. On one hand, it may encourage an individual to act, on the other hand, it may invoke his interest in the subject (literature) and encourage him/her to read fiction. Teaching is a bilateral process, hence, its quality is directly related to the attitudes of the student and the level of cognitive activity and didactic improvement of the teacher’s work. Improving critical thinking improves students’ cognitive activity. The literature of any nation develops in a close relationship with its history. Any scientific sphere is also closely related to history. There is no life beyond history as well as literature. Therefore, teaching fiction is an extremely effective way of forming historical consciousness. The public opinion in Kazakhstan is formed through the history and literature of the Kazakh nation.

The Universe

The true religious feeling is rooted in adoration. The taste of adoration is derived from the experience of God which indeed shake one’s soul. On one side, the experience of God leads to the recognition of God as the Great Creator of the universe. In this case, God is experienced as the everything. On the other side, it causes that human being encounters the self-recognition as a helpless creature. One feels as a nothingness of creature here. The feeling of adoration, therefore, has a religious structure in human soul that has a direction to God. As the structure of soul, the adoration is likely to be subjective which means that the subject experiences God (the world of ideas) and at the same time, it is objective that God is experienced by the subject (the real world). The object of the experience of adoration is, particularly, transcendent. Finally, the sense of adoration is needed to revive the living of faith for the believers.

Alexis de Tocqueville is probably the best modern writer on the subject of democracy, and certainly the most quoted. But when Tocqueville writes about democracy, he never considers it in isolation. There is always a weight on the other side of the scales, even if it is invisible to the casual observer: aristocracy. Relatively little attention has been given to Tocqueville's understanding of aristocracy, or to his views about how aristocratie elements contribute to democratic society. Yet Tocqueville's conception of aristocracy is crucial to how he analyzes democracy, and his understanding of the nature of aristocracy is central to his work.

In The Beginning

Practically every academic institution and official body that is involved in the preparation of teachers of every educational grade and orientation regarding didactic practice in class, has included “Microteaching” in its academic curriculum as a basic subject. However, what is the attitude of students themselves towards this subject? What are their expectations? Does it eventually meet these expectations? What kind of knowledge and skills does it provide them with? This current research attempts to give insight to such queries, as it aims at researching the views of 115 student teachers on the subject “Microteaching”. These views have been documented in short texts that students were asked to produce both in the beginning of the academic semester-after receiving initial information – and in its end - after their training was completed. This study makes use of a double perspective: it focuses on the one hand on their expectations from this subject, while on the other on their critical overall assessment, in order to formulate a thorough and rounded picture regarding the subject “Microteaching” through the viewpoint of the students who are trained in it.

The systematic process of gaining knowledge and skills through study and instructions which is called education is of an extreme importance for human being. Education can bring money, equality, independence, and ultimately a prosperous individual which in turn makes a prosperous society at least by economic growth for nations; not to mention that it paves the way for creating a safer world. In this almost mainstreamed trend of being fascinated by education, ‘thinking’ is said to be the Cinderella skill. In the current study, critical thinking, reflective thinking and also emotions were studied to uncover the probable interplay among them. The results of the analysis of questionnaires (Watson-Glaser’s Critical Thinking Appraisal, Reflective Thinking Questionnaire, Emotions Questionnaire for Teachers) filled by 160 EFL teachers in Iran showed a significant relationship among them and almost all Critical Thinking subcomponents were predicting the other two variables. The findings of the study will help further the knowledge in educating in a broader view, and in the field of English Language teaching in a more narrow sense.
