This document summarizes a study that explored using computer programming to improve language, mathematics, and art skills in 5-10 year old Brazilian children. Two groups of children took Python programming classes over 5 months that incorporated literature, arts, language, and math concepts. Both groups showed considerable development in language and mathematical reasoning skills. The study found that basic programming concepts were successfully incorporated by the children and that this approach can help integrate technology into primary education by having students actively construct their own knowledge.

The influence of the basic difference between everyday meaning of English wor...iosrjce
The study sought to determine theinfluence of the basic difference between everyday meaning of
English words and their specialized uses in mathematics contexts on the mathematics performance of Hausa
speaking primary school children. Using simple random sampling technique, 60% of each of the eleven public
primary schools with a minimum of five (5) Hausa speaking pupils in its primary five and six was taken as
sample for the study. This gave seven hundred and thirty five (735) respondents made up of 432 boys and 303
girls.Comprehension tests of ambiguous English words developed by the researcher were used to collect data.
The result indicates that there is significant difference between Hausa speaking pupils’ performance in basic
every-day meaning of English words and their specialized uses in mathematics context. Hausa speaking primary
school pupils tended to interpret lexically ambiguous words found in mathematics contexts in their ordinary
sense.The statistically significant difference between dominant meaning and secondary context can be
interpreted as pupils do not distinguish the meaning of English words. Their responses indicated that they seem
prone to access the dominant sense of the common terms used even when they are used in sentences biased
towards a mathematics meaning.

The document discusses the importance of the chalkboard/whiteboard in mathematics instruction. It argues that explicit instruction involving writing, diagrams, and modeling of mathematical thinking and logic on the board is still necessary, even as instructional practices evolve. The board provides a focal point and visual record of the lesson that benefits visual learners and supports student note-taking. Effective mathematical communication and scaffolding of ideas involves clear expression and logical organization using oral, written and visual forms.
Assessment of mathematics textbooks potential in terms of student’s motivatio...Alexander Decker
The document analyzes mathematics textbooks used in grades 6-9 in Kosovo in terms of their potential to motivate students and enhance comprehension. Two methods are used - Rivers matrix and Skovsmose's learning milieus. The Rivers matrix finds textbooks lack factors like historical notes, biographies, and real-world applications that motivate students. Most examples are abstract with few real-life connections. Tasks are also largely disconnected from real contexts. The textbooks have a logic-focused philosophy with little attention to engaging students or connecting to their experiences. Overall, the analysis finds the textbooks provide limited support for motivation and comprehension.
A Study On Strategy Instruction And EFL Learners Writing SkillMartha Brown
This document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of teaching the concept mapping learning strategy on EFL students' writing skills. Sixty Iranian students studying English at the intermediate level were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 12 weeks of instruction in using concept maps to organize ideas for writing, while the control group did not receive this instruction. Both groups completed writing assessments before and after the instruction. The results showed that the students who learned concept mapping scored higher on the post-instruction writing assessment than those who did not receive this strategy instruction, indicating that teaching learning strategies like concept mapping can improve EFL writing skills.

This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between students' internet self-efficacy and their grades when using social media as a learning tool. The study hypothesized that students with high internet self-efficacy would earn higher overall grades. It involved surveying 40 undergraduate students about their internet self-efficacy and analyzing their course grades. Regression analysis found a positive correlation between self-efficacy scores and grades. Students with higher self-efficacy tended to earn higher grades, supporting the hypothesis.
This document discusses teacher education and teaching practice in Nigeria. It begins by outlining the importance of education and the establishment of colleges of education to provide professional training for teachers. Teaching practice is described as an integral part of teacher education programs aimed at preparing new teachers. The document then discusses challenges with teaching practice in Nigeria and quality issues in public and private secondary schools. It concludes by recommending improvements to teaching practice, including longer durations and exposure to micro-teaching beforehand, to better prepare student teachers.
1) The Triple Talaq Bill aims to criminalize the practice of instant triple talaq among Muslims but the author argues it has a communal agenda of bringing in a Uniform Civil Code.
2) Existing laws like the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 already protect women's rights and there is no need for a separate law only for Muslim women.
3) Imposing criminal liability for uttering talaq thrice is illogical as the Supreme Court has already ruled it does not dissolve the marriage, and it could further marginalize Muslim women.
This document summarizes a presentation on the negative consequences of austerity policies through public expenditure cuts. The presentation discusses how austerity aims to reduce debt and deficits through lower spending and higher taxes. However, evidence from several European countries shows that austerity had unintended consequences like harming healthcare systems, increasing health inequalities, damaging work-life balance, and reducing life expectancy. The conclusion proposes setting reasonable constitutional limits on expenditures and minimum levels for key investments and services to prevent disproportionate austerity measures from causing further social issues.
This study examined how cultural dynamics influence perceptions of workplace bullying among managerial employees in Sri Lanka. A survey was administered to 230 managers in the fast-moving consumer goods industry. The findings showed that person-related bullying, such as ignoring and insulting colleagues, was more prevalent than work-related bullying behaviors. Additionally, some behaviors considered bullying in Western contexts, such as off-hand remarks and jokes, were viewed as normal occurrences. The study suggests that what constitutes bullying may differ across cultures. The results contribute to conceptualizing workplace bullying in Asian cultures and can help organizations design interventions to promote healthy and just work environments.
1) The document discusses the management of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Yobe State, northeastern Nigeria following conflict with Boko Haram.
2) It examines factors influencing where IDPs settle, how host communities view and relate to IDPs, and the effects of increased population on common resources.
3) Through qualitative interviews, focus groups, and observations, the research finds that while hosts initially accepted and sympathized with IDPs, relations have transformed to rejection and hostility, in part due to overuse of resources and disputes over access to lands and water.
This document discusses the importance of intentional succession planning in higher education institutions. It notes that while common in corporations, succession planning is not widely practiced in universities. The document advocates for a more formal and systematic approach to succession planning at universities, including early identification of leadership potential, providing leadership development opportunities, and linking succession planning to strategic planning. Some specific best practices from corporations discussed include mentoring programs, project leadership roles to gain experience, and considering research, teaching, and administrative career paths.
This document summarizes a study on legal protections for victims of domestic violence in Peru. The study aimed to assess whether Peruvian laws sufficiently address violence against women and are efficiently implemented. Through interviews and data analysis, the study found that while Peruvian laws do sufficiently address the issue, implementation is inefficient due to lack of resources. For example, laws mandate support services for victims but services are underfunded and inaccessible in some areas. The case study also examines factors that make women in Ayacucho especially vulnerable to violence. In conclusion, more resources are needed to properly enact existing laws and protect women across Peru.
The document discusses integrated solid waste management for sustainable development in Kalmunai Municipality. It introduces integrated solid waste management and sustainable development. It discusses the relationship between the two concepts and notes that proper waste management is key to environmental sustainability. The study aims to assess the significance of integrated solid waste management for sustainable development in the municipality, which currently struggles without a proper landfill and has not achieved recycling targets. The methodology, data analysis, recommendations are also summarized.
This study analyzes land cover changes in Kadawatha Sub Urban area in Sri Lanka between 1989 and 2016 to examine urban sprawl. Spatial analysis of land use digital data found that home gardens increased, especially beyond 1km from the urban core, as people established residences further out. Other agricultural lands like rubber and coconut declined significantly as land was converted to residential use. Paddy lands were largely abandoned. Overall, Kadawatha has developed ideal suburban characteristics over the past 30 years, with non-agricultural uses expanding into peripheral areas and more commercial development concentrated within 1km of the urban center. Urban sprawl can be understood from the increase in housing beyond the initial 1km buffer zone.
Health and environmental consciousness, common attributes of organic foods, and market availability are key determinants of Sri Lankan consumers' purchase intention of organic foods. A survey of 144 organic food consumers in 6 Sri Lankan cities found that over half were female aged 31-45. While consumers were aware of organic foods' values, lack of availability was a constraint. Improving awareness, accessibility, and certification could help stimulate demand. Policymakers should promote health benefits and support farmers to increase organic production and market conditions.
This study quantified the role of seed contamination as a source of weedy rice infestation and spread in four provinces in Sri Lanka. Seed samples were collected from farmers in these provinces and tested for weedy rice contamination. The results showed that the majority of farmers used their own seed or seeds from neighboring farmers, which were contaminated with 19-73% weedy rice seeds. This means farmers were seeding 46,000 to 60,000 weedy rice seeds per hectare. The study concluded that contaminated seed paddy is a main source of weedy rice infestation and spread in the studied areas due to farmers' lack of awareness about weedy rice and use of certified seeds.
This document summarizes a study that investigated decorating titanium dioxide nanoparticles with carbon dots derived from table sugar to enhance their photocatalytic activity. The carbon dots were synthesized through a hydrothermal method and showed good absorption and photoluminescence properties. A composite material of carbon dot-decorated titanium dioxide was prepared and showed increased photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light compared to bare titanium dioxide, demonstrating the potential of this novel approach for greener photocatalysis utilizing visible light.
This document summarizes a research study about the lived experiences of cancer patients. It discusses the purpose and significance of studying this topic for nursing practice, education, and the profession. The study used qualitative phenomenology methodology to interview 8 cancer patients about their perceptions and coping mechanisms. Key findings included feelings of fear, pain, family impacts like financial burden, and personal changes. Patients found motivation to continue treatment through faith, family support, and dreams of recovery. The summary recommends that nursing practice be sensitive to patients, education incorporate these findings, and the profession strengthen oncology specialization and partnerships.
The document examines definitions of children from global and Bangladeshi perspectives. It discusses how children are defined biologically and socially, as well as how the definition is changing. The Bangladesh government approved a new National Child Policy to address challenges like different age limits set in laws. The policy aims to redefine a child as under 18 and keep children out of the workforce. While changing definitions presents challenges, partnerships like one between Telenor and UNICEF show promise in helping children in Bangladesh.
1) The document discusses a study on incorporating visible light activated titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles into denture base resin to improve oral health.
2) In vitro tests found that denture base resin containing 3-5% TiO2 nanoparticles exposed to visible light significantly reduced colony forming units of common oral pathogens over time.
3) Preliminary in vivo tests also saw reduced bacterial plaque buildup on dentures containing TiO2 after 6 months of use, suggesting the nanoparticles maintain antimicrobial activity long-term.
This document discusses a study evaluating osteoblastic activity on zirconia discs with different surface treatments. It is divided into three groups: Group I (no surface treatment), Group II (sandblasting and acid etching), and Group III (UV radiation). SEM analysis found Group I had few parallel lines and pits/cracks, Group II had a porous surface with prominent changes, and Group III had lines/pits/cracks. Results showed Group I had few osteoblastic cell colonies, Group II had more colonies, and Group III had the maximum number of colonies. The conclusion was that UV photofunctionalization (Group III) promoted the best osteoblast adhesion and activity compared to the other groups.

3. Abstract
Is it possible to improve the language and mathematics learning of 5 to 10 years old children
using computer programming experience? And with non-alphabetized preschool child? The
didactic methodology of Guy Brousseau and programming-based literacy of Annette Vee
were used as parameters to evaluate two groups: one composed of non-alphabetized five-
year-olds students and other of a 10 years old child. These students took, during the second
semester of 2016, Python programming classes related literature, arts, language and
mathematics, for five months. Both groups displayed considerable development of language
construction and quantitative-topological mathematical reasoning. Basic programming
concepts such as algorithms, sequences, repetitions, variables and selection were also
successfully incorporated by children from the two selected ages. We argue that this
experience is an example to incorporate technology in the primary curriculum by the student
construction of knowledge slant. We also believe that this computational literacy approach
can help teacher to find an alternative place to technological education among the actual
myriad of the century Medias and emerging technological trends.
Key words: Education Technology, Art, Computational Literacy; linguistic and mathematical
thinking.
4. Introduction
■ The nature of language programming is naturally extrapolating the Computer
Science and being absorbed by the educational field (Vee, 2013). Although the
large debate over this subjec t, Vee (2013) summarizes the problem when
question if the language programming is indeed a form of literacy.
■ In line with this theory is the “literate programming concept” of Donald Knuth
(1992) and the advocacy for integration of programming language at basic
education curriculum (diSessa, 2000, Rushkoff, 2010 and Kemeny, 2013).
■ This computational literacy approach is rejected by Atwood (2012). This
argument is based on the specialized aspect of programming language. Thus,
learn to code besides a professional context would be a waste of time (Atwood,
2012).
5. ■ Based on diSessa thought, Vee (2013) analyzed different kinds of social uses for
coding, and concluded that language programming is becoming a literacy,
because its application in everyday life that overtake the specialized social
spheres and starts to pressure other professional fields like journalism, science
and education.
■ In parallel to this idea, Kleiman and Assis (2016) believe that the writing
phenomenon should be analyzed by the bias of the occasion of literacy,
understood as a social and cultural construction that overflow the ability to
decoding graphemes or to make phoneme-graphemes associations (Kleiman &
Assis, 2016).
■ From these considerations, it is understandable that educators should teach how
to use and create technology by coding.
6. Research´s Question
■ Is it possible to improve the language and mathematics
learning of 5 to 10 years old children using computer
programming experience?
■ And with non-alphabetized preschool child?
7. Research´s Objective
■ This work intent to investigate the development of mathematical, linguistic and
artist skills of 5 and 10 years old children in a specific context of Python
programming language classes.
8. Methodology Approach
■ A case study to analyse the learning of two group, one with 5 and 10 years old
children
■ The treatment of the data was guided by the appliance of the hermeneutic-
phenomenological approach.
9. Methodology Data Treatment
■ Therefore, the data treatment done in this research followed three steps.
■ The rewriting or textualization of the collected materials.
■ The reduction of these texts to its essential meaning.
■ The interpretation and measurement of the data by the evaluations criteria,
established as explains the table 1.
10. Methodology Evaluation Criteria
Fully Acquired (F.A)
(100%≤ 80%)
applies knowledge autonomously
Partially Acquired_1
(P.A_1)
(80≤50%)
Require very little help to applies the knowledge.
Partially Acquired_2
(C.P_2)
(50%≤30%)
Require a lot of help to applies the knowledge.
Not Aquired (N.A)
(30%≤0%)
Could not apply the knowledge without a directly
and constant support.
11. Results
■ As its possible to notice in the graphic of the figure 1 the results were organized
in two categories:
■ The first category represents the diagnostic evaluation, made during the first
three classes.
■ The second category corresponds to the overall result of the daily evaluations
made during the five months of research.
13. Discussion
■ The results reveled some important points
■ a practical application of the Kleiman and Assis (2010) concept of literacy,
understood as a social and cultural construction that overflow the ability to
decoding graphemes or to make phoneme-graphemes associations.
■ a promising application of the computational literacy (Vee, 2013) in the
education technology domain.
14. Discussion
■ The analogy of the acquisition´s processes of a code writing and human
language writing.
■ The figures 1 illustrates the group 1 final project process where kids used
reading and writing strategies to rewrite a computer program.
15. Discussion
Figure 2 – (A) Portrait of "family program" designed by a five years old student , and (B) preschool-
age student rewriting codes collectively with paper strip support.
16. Discussion - The Papers Strip
Strategy
A paper strip with the line of code
written in uppercase letters was given
to the students. We intended here to
respect the preference of preschool
children for reading and writing
uppercases letters, pointed by
Treiman and Kessler (2004). This
strategy enabled children to apply
their reading and writing skills more
comfortably.

as a support to read and write codes
17. Dicussion - Linguistic and
Mathematical Objectives
■ The linguistic Objective of group 1 was mobilize their visual awareness to the
textual code structure as well their sensibility to relate sound, image and text
to build meanings.
■ There for it was based on the Kleiman´s and Assis (2010) thought about the
importance of the literacy in the kid´s writing acquisition.
■ The role of mathematics in code construction demonstrated its effectiveness
as a tool to forward the student´s logical and mathematical thinking.
■ Thus, the didactic situation theory of Brousseau (1997), was profitably applied
here.
18. Discussion – Art, An Interdisciplinary
Triggering
■ The art and mathematics was used as an interdisciplinar tiggering to propose
concrete didactic situation for kids, as recommended by Brousseau
■ The finals projects examples of figure 3, illustrates this kind of approach
20. Conclusions
■ In this research the use of a textual programming language, related to contents
of mathematics, art and language was proposed.
■ We intended to develop the mathematical, linguistics and artistic skills by the
programming computer experience, based on didactic situation of Brousseau
(1997) and Annete Vee (2013) computational literacy theories, in the context of
5 and 10 years old children.
■ Another concern of this work was to investigate the possibility to use a textual
programming language to teach non-alphabetized preschoolers students.
21. Conclusions
■ From the analysis of the learning results were extracted:
■ the experience of programming, based on didactyly situation Brousseau´s
theory (1997) can be a powerful tool to increase the language, mathematical
and artistic learning;
■ preschool non alphabetized children can be presented to code writing principle,
under the Vee´s concept of computational literacy (Vee, 2013) without much
problem.
■ the reader and writer behavior of kids face to code writing highlighted a relation
between language program practices and literacy.
■ the teaching of programming language, from the perspective of art, mathematics
and native language, can be a path to an interdisciplinary education.
