This study aimed to identify the RAMP initiative’s role (read comprehensively, answer with understanding) in raising the level of literacy skills and numeracy from the point of view of teachers. It also aimed to identify its effectiveness in improving the reading and writing level of the basic minimum stage, as an initiative that reduces the delay in reading and helps in the development of skills to help students solve mathematical problems with understanding and accommodating. Closed questionnaires were distributed to the Central Badia region; the questionnaire consisted of (35) paragraphs divided into three areas of reading, writing, and arithmetic, where 88 teachers answered the questionnaire. Statistical analysis was adopted (Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) was adopted to show the study results. The results showed a role for the RAMP initiative in raising the level of reading and numeracy skill to a reasonable degree, where the skill of reading got a good degree, was the highest skill of voice awareness to an extraordinary degree and other standards are good. Writing skill got a good degree; it was the highest, the skill of writing words and the least skill of creative writing, and also obtained the skill of calculating a good degree above (counting units) and the lowest domain (participation and composition of groups). The results showed no statistically significant differences due to variable years of experience, while the results showed statistically significant differences in favor of a bachelor’s degree.

Abstract Introduction. Performance management is a crucial concept in the broader field of human resource management. In accordance with its principles, in defining a professional role, its aim must be included. In addition, key results areas and crucial competencies must be stated. The professional role of a nurse with regard to pregnancy and pre-natal care, is defined by way of the set of functions fulfilled. The role of a midwife and her competencies are, however, in this situation, much broader. Aim. The aim of the conducted research was to determine the roles played by both nursing and midwifery staff in ensuring a healthy pregnancy and delivery by way of their patients' assessment. Material and methods. The research was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology unit, in the Regional Specialist Hospital in Biała Podlaska, and it involved 40 pregnant women. Results and discussion. Our study reveals that what the subject women need the most from the nursing and midwifery staff, is emotional support. What is more, the dominant majority connects their expectations as to the fulfilment of the roles played by nursing and midwifery staff to an increase in information support. Conclusion. The obtained results allow a defining of the aim of the professional roles of nurses and midwives in supporting and assisting the pregnant, as well as identifying their key results areas and crucial competencies from the patients' point of view. In comparing our own study results to that involving patients' opinions (gained by way of a study conducted in the obstetrics and gynaecology unit, by the quality care assessment section of the Regional Specialist Hospital in Biała Podlaska), it can be stated that there is continuous positive growth in the quality of service provided by nurses and midwives.

This study aimed to identifying the role of learning in developing multiple developmental intelligences for Kindergarten children from their mothers' point of view. The study sample consisted of (160) mothers who were distributed into two groups: the first group consisted of (80) mothers of children attending kindergartens with learning corners, and the second group consisted of (80) mothers of children attending traditional kindergartens. To achieve the study objectives, the descriptive method was used and a questionnaire for assessing learning corners and multiple developmental intelligences scale (MIDAS) were used. The study results showed that multiple developmental intelligences among the children attending kindergartens with learning corners were high, while multiple developmental intelligences among the children attending traditional kindergartens were medium. The results also showed that there are statistically significant differences in the total score and in the sub-scores for each of the multiple developmental intelligences between the children attending kindergartens with learning corners and those attending traditional kindergartens in favor of the children attending kindergartens with learning corners. The study recommended that concerned authorities should include learning corners in the classroom as they develop multiple intelligences. Keyword: multiple developmental intelligences, learning corners, kindergarten’s children

AbstrakPembelajaran matematika perlu dirancang untuk mendorong siswa memiliki kemahiran matematis, seperti kemampuan pemahaman, komunikasi, koneksi, penalaran dan pemecahan masalah matematis. Kemampuan itu diperlukan supaya siswa dapat menerapkan dan memanfaatkan informasi matematika dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Hal tersebut sejalan dengan literasi matematika. Literasi matematika menurut OECD (2016), didefinisikan sebagai kapasitas untuk mengenal dan memahami peran matematika di dunia, memecahkan masalah matematika dalam berbagai konteks, menafsirkan pernyataan matematika, dan menerapkan matematika secara rasional. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kemampuan literasi matematika siswa ditinjau dari gaya belajar Kolb siswa kelas V Madrasah Ibtidaiyah dengan pembelajaran discovery learning pendekatan RME. Metode penelitian yang dipakai adalah kualitatif deskriptif. Adapun hasil dari penelitian adalah dilihat dari 7 indikator dalam literasi matematika bahwa gaya belajar siswa tipe accommodator lebih baik dibandingkan gaya belajar lainnya. Gaya belajar assimilator dan diverger kemampuan literasi matematika siswa hampir sama tetapi gaya belajar converger paling rendah dibandingkan dari assimilator dan diverger.AbstractMathematics learning needs to be designed to encourage students to have mathematical skills, such as the ability to understand, communicate, connect, reason and solve mathematical problems. Capability is needed so students can apply and utilize mathematical information in their daily lives. This is in line with mathematical literacy. Mathematical literacy according to the OECD (2016), is defined as the capacity to recognize and understand the role of mathematics in the world, solve mathematical problems in various contexts, interpret mathematical statements, and apply mathematics rationally. The purpose of this study was to determine the students' mathematical literacy skills in terms of Kolb's learning style of class V Ibtidaiyah Madrasas with discovery learning learning the RME approach. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results of the study are seen from 7 indicators in mathematical literacy that the accommodator type of student learning style is better than other learning styles.

It has been almost universally adopted that dissolution of solids proceeds with development of uniform, continuous frontiers of reaction.However this point of view is doubtful / 1 /. E.g. we have proved the active role of the block (grain) boundaries in the main phases of cement, these boundaries being the areas of hydrate phases' nucleation / 2 /. It has brought to the supposition that the dissolution frontier of cement particles in water is discrete. It seems also probable that the dissolution proceeds through the channels, which serve both for the liquid phase movement and for the drainage of the incongruant solution products. These channels can be appeared along the block boundaries.In order to demonsrate it, we have offered the method of phase-contrast impregnation of the hardened cement paste with the solution of methyl metacrylahe and benzoyl peroxide. The viscosity of this solution is equal to that of water.

Abstract. The article discusses the emergence of a functional literacy construct and the rediscovery of illiteracy in industrialized countries during the second half of the 20th century. It offers a short explanation of how the construct evolved over time. In addition, it explores how functional (il)literacy is conceived differently by research discourses of cognitive and neural studies, on the one hand, and by prescriptive and normative international policy documents and adult education, on the other hand. Furthermore, it analyses how literacy skills surveys such as the Level One Study (leo.) or the PIAAC may help to bridge the gap between cognitive and more practical and educational approaches to literacy, the goal being to place the functional illiteracy (FI) construct within its existing scale levels. It also sheds more light on the way in which FI can be perceived in terms of different cognitive processes and underlying components of reading. By building on the previous work of other authors and previous definitions, the article brings together different views of FI and offers a perspective for a needed operational definition of the concept, which would be an appropriate reference point for future educational, political, and scientific utilization.

Recent research has pointed to two possible causes of mathematical (dis-)ability: working memory and number sense, although only few studies have compared the relations between working memory and mathematics and between number sense and mathematics. In this study, both constructs were studied in relation to mathematics in general, and to mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) in particular. The sample consisted of 154 children aged between 6 and 10 years, including 26 children with MLD. Children performing low on either number sense or visual-spatial working memory scored lower on math tests than children without such a weakness. Children with a double weakness scored the lowest. These results confirm the important role of both visual-spatial working memory and number sense in mathematical development.
