O município de Bonito está localizado a sudoeste do Mato Grosso do Sul na microrregião geográfica Bodoquena, tendo a pecuária e o turismo como principais atividades econômicas. Através do ecoturismo o município tem buscado promover o desenvolvimento nas áreas sociais, econômicas e ambientais. Assim, a presente pesquisa procurou avaliar a percepção dos estudantes do ensino básico (8º e 9º anos) de uma escola municipal sobre o desenvolvimento turístico na região e a necessidade de inserção de visita técnica orientada na disciplina curricular “Noções Básicas do Turismo”. A disciplina está presente na grade curricular desde 2006, porém não promove regularmente atividades em campo. Para levantamento dos dados foi utilizada entrevista semi-estruturada e o Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras (TALP) e analisadas segundo o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) e a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS). Apesar dos estudantes terem sido favoráveis ao desenvolvimento do turismo na região de Bonito, poucos demonstraram envolvimento direto ou indireto com as atividades turísticas. No entanto, os estudantes demonstraram ter conhecimento e uma relação afetiva com a fauna local, garantindo assim a promoção da educação ambiental, sobretudo na visita orientada, para que as mesmas não tenham apenas o enfoque de lazer. A experiência com a visita orientada também permitiu o resgate da identidade da coletividade, através da afinidade e forte interação que os estudantes demonstraram com o meio ambiente. Estes resultados, entretanto, indicaram a necessidade da inserção das visitas técnicas orientadas aos atrativos turísticos de Bonito como base metodológica nas atividades escolares. Social representations of students in basic education in tourism development in the city of Bonito (MS, Brazil) The city of Bonito is located in southwestern Mato Grosso do Sul in the Bodoquena region. The economy consists primarily of ranching and tourism. Through tourism, the town has sought to promote social, economic and environmental development. This study sought to assess the perception of students in their 8th and 9th years at a public school regarding the development of tourism in the region and the need to include a field trip related to their “Basic Concepts of Tourism” course. The class has been present in the curriculum since 2006, but does not include routine field trips. A semi-structured interview and the Free Word Association Test (TALP) were used to collect data, and were analyzed using Collective Discourse of the Subject (DSC) and the Social Representations Theory (TRS). Although students felt favorably toward the development of tourism in the Bonito regions, few demonstrated direct or indirect involvement in tourism activities. However, students demonstrated knowledge of and concern for the local wildlife, thus guaranteeing support for environmental education, as noted during the visit during which students were not focused solely on having fun. The guided visit also allowed for the development of a collective identity through the affinity and deep interaction the students demonstrated with the environment. These results, however, suggest the need to include methodology-based guided field trips to Bonito’s tourist attractions in the school curriculum.

Abstract In this study, it was aimed to examine the educational problems of basic education students migrating from Syria encountered in the schools. The research study group involved 37 Syrian students, 4 school managers and 18 teachers who were willing to participate to the research from four different secondary schools. The study group was chosen according to accessibility criterion. The data were collected through interviews. Therefore, the data was analyzed according to the qualitative methods. In the analysis of data collected by using face to face interview technique and semi-structured interview form, the content analysis method was used. According to the research results, it was determined that Syrian students have a language problem, especially during their education. They had sufficient knowledge of the Turkish language to manage their daily lives, however, academically the knowledge was concluded as insufficient. The main problems occurring among Syrian students are communication skills and adaptation. Main causes of these two problems are the differences between the ethnic origin among the Syrians students and the integration and communication with Turkish students. The Syrian students can be divided into two group as Syrian Kurdish or Syrian Arab. Both groups indicate that it is hard to communicate with each other due to the language difference. Furthermore, the Syrian girls expressed that they have more difficulties in being accepted and making friends, which causes the feeling that they are left alone. The findings of the research reveal that Syrian parents do not visit the school and that their skills of understanding and speaking Turkish are far behind their children's ability to understand and speak Turkish. According to the students 'views, the main reason for their parents' not visiting the school is the language problem. According to the data obtained from the interviews conducted by the administrators, guidance teachers and class teachers of the schools, it has been determined that some Syrian students have problems in integration during school, lack of motivation for the classes, and a more introvert student profile compared to other students. On the other hand, it was also stated that it was uncommon that Syrian students were included or had caused for any improper circumstances at school or were involved in any disciplinary case.

Attitudes Toward Chemistry

The objective of this research was to investigate the level of students' attitudes toward Chemistry and Learning Experience (ATCLE). The research sample included 191 students (61 male and 130 female) from three universities; Universitas Negeri Mataram, Universitas Islam Negeri Mataram, and IK1P Mataram, Indonesia. The sample has been selected through cluster random sampling and snowballs random sampling. Mixed method research with a descriptive correlational survey model and a semi-structured interview was employed for the study. The data were collected by Chemistry Attitudes and Experiences Questionnaire (CAEQ) and an interview guide. Results showed no significant correlation in the level of attitude toward chemistry based on gender and grades. The finding also revealed that the attitude of pre-service chemistry teachers based on gender and grade were more positive towards research in chemistry than jobs related to chemistry. However, grades influenced the students learning experience, but there was no influence of gender on students learning experience. It is suggested that teachers need to develop a positive attitude toward chemistry and learning experiences of the students through inquiry-based learning practices.

BACKGROUND Geriatric care professionals were forced to rapidly adopt the use of telemedicine technologies to ensure the continuity of care for their older patients in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is little current literature that describes how telemedicine technologies can best be employed to meet the needs of geriatric care professionals in providing care to frail older patients and their caregivers, and families. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify the benefits and challenges geriatric care professionals face when using telemedicine technologies with frail older patients, their caregivers, and families, and how to maximize the benefits of this method of providing care. METHODS We conducted a mixed methods study that recruited geriatric care professionals to complete an online survey regarding their personal demographics and experiences with using telemedicine and participate in a semi-structured interview. Interview responses were analyzed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). RESULTS We obtained quantitative and qualitative data from 30 practicing geriatric care professionals (22 geriatricians, 5 geriatric psychiatrists, and 3 geriatric specialist nurses) recruited from across the Greater Toronto Area. Analysis of interview data identified 5 CFIR contextual barriers (Complexity, Design quality and packaging, Patient needs and resources, Readiness for implementation, and Culture) and 13 CFIR contextual facilitators (Relative Advantage, Adaptability, Tension for Change, Available Resources, Access to Knowledge, Network and Communications, Compatibility, Knowledge and Beliefs, Self-Efficacy, Champions, External Agents, Executing, and Reflecting and Evaluating). The CFIR concept of External Policy and Incentives was found to be a neutral construct. CONCLUSIONS This is the first known study to use the CFIR to develop a comprehensive narrative to characterize the experiences of geriatric care professionals using telemedicine technologies in providing care. Overall, telemedicine can significantly enable most of the geriatric care that is traditionally provided in person, but is less useful in providing specific aspects of geriatric care to frail older patients and their caregivers, and families.

OBJECTIVE: to characterize the profiles of families in the area covered by a Primary Health Center and to identify those in a vulnerable situation. METHOD: this is an epidemiological, observational, cross-sectional and quantitative study. 320 home visits were made, defined by a random sample of the areas covered by the Urban Center 1 in the city of São Sebastião, in Brazil's Federal District. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection, elaborated based on the Family Development Index (FDI). RESULTS: there was a predominance of young families, women, and low levels of schooling. The FDI permitted the identification of families in situations of "high" and "very high" vulnerability. The most critical dimensions were: "access to knowledge" and "access to work". CONCLUSION: the study indicated the importance of greater investments in the areas of education, work and income, and highlighted the need for the use of a wider concept of vulnerability by the health services.

English learning has changed its role in Mexican Education throughout the years. Recently, in 2011, but with initial proof programs since 2009, the Federal Office of Public Education in Mexico proposed the National English Program in Basic Education, which included K-9.National English Program was new for some states, while others had to migrate and adjust the ones they had. Recently in 2017 some adaptations were made, the most important was the name of the program, but maintained its essence. In Zacatecas state, there was not a background regarding English learning, at least for K-6 students. In middle school (7-9 grades) most of the schools have teachers. Currently there are still some struggles in Zacatecas, English teachers for K-6 have not been hired to cover all schools, although its number has been increasing since 2011.This situation has broadened the proficiency levels of English commonly obtained by students. The study was carried out in Middle School #48 in the city of Zacatecas considering three 7th grade groups. The research is a mixed study, which considered different information gathered during the 2017-2018 school year, the intervention was based on Vygotsky’s theory, and planning according to the National English Program, at the end of the school year, results were collected, demonstrating the importance of effective planning based on context and students’ abilities.
