Reading comprehension is a process that has been the subject of studies for several years; there have been many attempts to make it a reference model, especially for teachers. Studies on the topic differ greatly depending on whether the approach is linguistic, social, or psychological. However, the common starting point of these studies is the procedural nature of comprehension and the active role played by the reader in the construction of meaning; a centrality that the reader also maintains in an era, the current, which is characterized by a nature deeply digital and in which the impact with the “text” is very strong and immediate and the dimension of participation assumes thickness in an immersion in network charge of charm. Therefore this paper represents the introduction to a thorough research that the author would develop to analyze the impact the digital reading has on the learning process of students. The survey referred, and of which it will be in the following essays to this, has as its object of study “Process and system evaluation and digital technologies.” In this paper, however, starting with a few mentions to the executive research plan we focus only on the relative in reading literacy. For this reason, this paper will examine some of the models present in the literature that are useful in providing valuable guidance to teachers on teaching /learning strategies that can promote learners' acquisition of specific reading skills. The purpose is to understand if, by changing the “medium” book, these strategies are valid and sufficient to produce learning in a context of digital reading.

The Impact

While countries are facing different stages in their COVID-19 infection rates, worldwide there are millions of students affected by universities’ facilities closures due to the pandemic. Some institutions have enforced strategies to transfer some courses to a virtual modality, but many Dental Schools have been challenged to deal with a situation which requires emergency measures to continue the academic course in the middle of lock-downs and social distancing measures. Despite the fact that the number of online academic programs available, especially graduate programs, has increased in diverse modalities, this pandemic forced e-learning processes to develop abruptly. The likelihood of using e-learning strategies in dentistry was substantiated in the scientific literature and an overview of these opportunities is presented. Additionally, the experience of the University of Costa Rica Faculty of Dentistry is presented, as it was evident that some of the key elements in a e-learning environment needed a quick enhancement and initiation of some processes was required. First, it was necessary to categorize the academic courses depending on their virtualization's possibility (curricula analysis and classification), to better understand the extent of the impact and the work needed to contain, as far as the possibilities allowed, negative consequences on students learning process. Second, teachers needed further training in the application of virtual strategies which they hadn’t used before. do Third, an evaluation of the students’ conditions and needs was conducted in a form of a survey. Finally, teachers and students activated the available virtual platforms. For many Dental Schools, this virtualization process is an ongoing progress although it was abruptly imposed, but this moment indeed represents an enormous opportunity to move forward and get immerse in the virtualization environment as a teaching/learning experience.

ABSTRACT In 2006, the medical course of the Faculty of Medical Sciences and Health of PUC-SP (FCMS of PUC-SP) completely restructured its curriculum and pedagogical project and began to use active teaching/learning methods, centered on problem-based learning. There is often some resistance on the part of the teachers in relation to the changes, depending on the consequences for their daily practice. However, the participation of the teachers and their commitment to reform proposals are fundamental for them to occur and to be continually renewed. In this sense, this study had as objective to evaluate the teachers’ view of the FCMS of the PUC-SP medical course on the changes triggered by the curricular reform; the impact of these changes on their own work, on the quality of the course and on the graduate doctor and, the suggestions to improve the curriculum, as part of the ongoing goal to produce well-trained professionals adapted to the needs of the population and to the health care system. The data were obtained through a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire, sent to the teachers working on the medical course. The second part of the questionnaire, object of this article, was to be answered only by the teachers who were already working before the curricular reform. Of the 178 teachers, 102 answered the questionnaire and, of these, 73 (71.6%) had already worked on the course before the curricular reform and answered the second part of the questionnaire. In general, the teachers have a positive view of the changes triggered by the reform, with emphasis on the active role of the student in the teaching/learning process and the growth provided to the teacher, induced by the pedagogical model chosen. They also consider that there has been an improvement in the quality of the course and the graduate doctor. Although well evaluated, the change to an interdisciplinary model and the deficiencies of the physical structure and equipment made available for the course complicate the work of the teacher. The difficulty in evaluating the student and the lack of a permanent teacher development plan appear as the main problems to be faced in the search for improving the course.

The Impact

This paper aims to present scenarios to be applied in higher education to the theme of production planning and control, addressing factors of the production system and indicators arising from this process and the application of virtual reality to support the process. The applied method combines the development of six scenarios for virtual reality application and the discussion about the impacts in indicators from the production planning and control, for example, inventory in the process, manufacturing lead-time, use of equipment, and punctual delivery attendance. Findings revealed that the teaching-learning process of production planning and control, when applied through scenarios, generates opportunities for students to learn the impact in the indicators. The virtual reality in this environment supports creating differentiated teaching-learning environments to generate the most significant knowledge for students which positively impacts the future in the world of work. In addition, it allows people involved in the teaching-learning processes of production engineering to apply the concepts presented in the sequencing process, lean about the impacts of decisions on production sequencing indicators and appreciate the support of virtual reality to generate an environment more cognitive for students.

Reading literacy is regarded as one of the most crucial prerequisites for academic success in all fields. PISA surveys reading literacy with extensive demographic data in several countries to provide detailed feedback for detecting problems in their education systems. In many countries, bilingual students are facing several problems in schools, especially language-related problems. In this context, this study is causal-comparative research aiming to compare bilingual and monolingual students’ Turkish reading literacies based on PISA 2018 data while controlling their economic, social and cultural status. In Turkey, 6890 students from 186 schools, who were selected through stratified random sampling, participated in PISA 2018 implementation. Bilingual and monolingual students’ reading literacies were compared through ANCOVA where their economic social and cultural status is the covariate. Findings showed that monolingual students have greater reading literacy scores than bilingual students when their economic, social and cultural status were controlled. This finding indicates that there may be some problems in Turkish language teaching/learning strategies for bilingual students, which do not originate from their economic, social and cultural status. In this paper, the possible reasons for bilingual students’ low reading literacy, are discussed, and some possible solutions for these problems are suggested.

This study presents an empirical research on the identification and observation of the students’ manifestations under various circumstances of stress, among which: time pressure, unexpected exam, unknown examiner, overstrain, language. The research was conducted at the National Pedagogical College “Ştefan cel Mare” from Bacău and consisted in assisting and observing 26 lessons of Mathematics and 26  lessons of Information and Communication Technologies, involving a group of 126 middle-school students and 24 teachers of various specializations. The tests and questionnaires applied have shown the relevance of becoming aware of the impact of stress, as well as of finding ways to minimize its harmful secondary effects, as many diseases are highly associated with wrong responses, adaptation to stress, external factors, sanctions, failure of the adjustment process, which lead to the onset of illness or unhappiness. Regarding these problems, we are looking for solutions in the form of best teaching-learning strategies, in order to increase enthusiasm for school activities, decrease the number of school absences, control alcohol, coffee or drugs consumption. The 20 students in the third year from the Faculty of Mathematics, “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacău, have conducted a research during their pedagogical practice included in their initial teacher training. The research has focused on emotional intelligence and implied direct observation of the students’ behaviour during an unannounced test at Mathematics, with the subsequent application of a questionnaire.

Dynamic Interplay

Rather than focusing on their dynamic interplay, research in I/O psychology has mostly focused on either person-level variables as predictors of work behaviors or the impact of situational variables on employees’ behaviors. By studying person and situation variables independently or by treating the situation as fixed, previous studies have largely failed to capture the active role employees take in affecting and managing their work situations. This raises the question of how adequately current research that focuses on either the person or the situation captures the reality of work life. To address this issue, this paper aims to provide a starting point for the integration of person-situation interactions at work into an overarching process model (i.e., Person-Situation Navigation Mechanisms Framework; Rauthmann & Sherman, 2016), and illustrates how previous research on I/O constructs can be positioned within this framework.
