Literacy - Science topic

Participating in multicultural education professional development sessions/courses/activities/etc. enhances teachers' knowledge of global cultures, leadership style, intercultural competency/sensitivity, teaching styles, etc.

AI, the greater the proliferation of AI in educational contexts, the more important it becomes to ensure that AI adheres to the equity and inclusion values of an educational system or institution. Given that modern AI is based on historic datasets, mitigating historic biases with respect to protected classes is an important component of this value alignment. Although extensive research has been done on AI fairness in education, there has been a lack of guidance for practitioners, which could enhance the practical uptake of these methods.

Just gonna to represent my thoughts

Basically when a person having "long term goal" and do, what need to obtain postive results for that and having patience and consistency for results ,and do continuous analysis related to allied field that can make impact is having skill and financial knowledge.

I had already talked to various prominent authors of FL such as Dr. Lusardi, Messy, Dr. Kalmi, and reviewed a huge corpus of literature, but this term is not defined well or its origin. I am working on it, hopefully I would able to answer more specifically after my research. Thank you.

Greetings, Cathy Gwaza!

Please specify the particular aspect of literacy skills in which you are interested (e.g., reading comprehension, writing, digital literacy). This will help narrow down the search for relevant research.

Since young learners need to be taught the foundational literacy skills, teachers must teach them very well. First, please review their prior experience; then connect it with what they need at present. They should not be forced to learn. each one has his/her own stage of cognitive development. Therefore, teachers must think of ways that can best adapt to their specific educational needs. In addition, teaching and learning must be fun.

Stella Mondigo I suggest for you to develop your own math literacy test tool based on what the students had been taught from 9th-12th grade levels math curriculum in your school district. This tool is more valid and reliable to utilize in your school site. Hope this makes sense to you.

Legal Acumen in School Leadership: The Bedrock of Educational Integrity

Introduction

Legal acumen in school leadership is fundamental to maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of educational institutions. It involves a comprehensive understanding of the laws and regulations that govern educational practices, ensuring that schools operate within legal frameworks while fostering a safe, equitable, and productive learning environment.

Benefits of Legal Acumen for Educational Integrity

Implementing Legal Acumen in School Leadership

Conclusion

Legal acumen in school leadership is not just a regulatory requirement; it is the cornerstone of educational integrity. By ensuring compliance, protecting rights, and promoting ethical practices, school leaders can create a trustworthy, equitable, and high-performing educational environment. This foundation of legal knowledge and ethical governance is essential for fostering student success and maintaining the overall integrity of educational institutions.

This is a rather pointless reply from ChatGPT or its equivalent. Why are you taking credit for it?

Regardless of what the AI says, I think you should look at the kind of analyses that are used most often in your field and match that. If you can't find anything, then I would recommend a statistical analysis using SEM because you have so many scale variables.

@J Felix Nwachukwu Thank you

There are several tools and assessments available for measuring information literacy skills in a practical and objective way. Here are a few examples:

Hence, before selecting a tool or assessment method, it's important to consider your specific assessment goals, target audience, and available resources. Additionally, you may want to explore whether any existing tools align closely with your needs or if customization is required.

Maybe this will help.

Professor Adriano Comissoli strangely enough I would start by the documentary The Birth of an Empire by the BBC first. There is a book by the same name at Amazon. As you watch the series take notes and then explore the events and people mentioned during the documentary. This technique to watch videos and then read books and articles on the East Indian Company is a wonderful quick overview to then use as a framework to study further the topic. Otherwise in no particular order

That should keep you busy, but don't hesitate for more titles. Interesting subject but don't get confused with the Dutch East India Company

Prof YUKNA

The theories that connects unemployment and social factors are

1 Structural functionalism

2 Conflict theory

3 Symbolic interactionism

Structural functionalism theory suggests that society is made up of interrelated parts that work together to maintain stability and order.According to this theory, unemployment can be seen as a symptom of a larger problem in society.for example, unemployment may be the result of social factors like a lack of educational opportunities,lack of economic opportunities or discrimination.

Education is seen as dysfunctional social structure.lack of education opportunity leads people not having the skills they need to find a job.lack of economic opportunities may leads to people not having enough jobs available to them.Discrimination may leads to people being denied access to jobs based on their race, gender or other characteristics which these factors can all contribute to high levels of unemployment.

Conflict theory suggests that unemployment is the result of conflict between different groups in society.

Symbolic interactionism suggests that unemployment can have a negative impact on a person's identity and behavior.

Hello Umar, I believe there are many answers to your question, depending on your classroom/teaching/grade level. For example, here in the US, we have many "inclusion" classes in the sciences, which means that students of all academic levels can be in the same class. However, in such situations, learning is always enhanced by the presence of teacher's aides, or para-professionals. There is no doubt that students with low literacy need special help in the sciences.

One thing that is difficult is the science vocabulary; in biology for example, in one academic year, I counted well over 150 new words/names/phrases that were seen in both lessons and exams. Being prepared for this, was essential.

I also noticed that the more hands on labs and such that could be done in class, the less literacy played a factor. There is no doubt that they can definitely achieve competency, as noted in the response above. The real test of this of course would be, "Are such individuals going to be prepared to seek an occupation in science?"

Your areas of instruction, as listed with your name, will be one key to the future for such individuals.

Concept mapping can enhance environmental literacy by providing a visual representation of interconnected concepts, relationships, and information related to environmental issues. Here are several ways in which concept mapping contributes to improving environmental literacy:

In summary, concept mapping is a versatile tool that promotes active learning, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of complex environmental concepts. By visually organizing information and illustrating relationships, concept mapping contributes to the development of environmental literacy among learners.

What you need is a model. First, read a book or two on mixed methods. Creswell is a great place to start. Secondly, find dissertations in your program by others, so you know generally what your university expects. Thirdly, plan how your methodology will answer your research question, establishing delimitations upfront and forecasting limitations. The quantitative and qualitative methods will be different but complementary.

Microplastics are the major concern for the any country. The major health burden it causes is the emerging health concern for any country across the globe. So the literacy regarding the microplastics should be given to the children right from their school education. The major Cleanliness awareness campaign (Swaccha Bharat) driven by the Prime Minister of India has substantial impact over the cleanliness and face of the major cities and villages also.

The Audio-visual Awareness campaigns along with the mass level awareness through the Podcasts and giving messages over the journey tickets also plays major role. Consuming the fresh food rather than packed food, is also a major tool to reduce the microplastics in the environment.

Dr Alwielland Q. Bello

Generative AI has the potential to be a game-changer for environmental literacy. By making learning more engaging, accessible, and impactful, it can empower people to understand, value, and protect our planet. AI can analyze vast amounts of data to predict future environmental trends and model the impact of different policies and actions. This information can be used to inform decision-making and develop effective solutions. AI can analyze vast amounts of environmental data, identifying patterns and trends that inform effective conservation strategies. It can also help create persuasive messaging and campaigns, mobilizing action for environmental protection.

In general, the following can be mentioned on the subject. I think that these are the dimensions by making general ideas from the studies in the literature.

Ecological Knowledge

Scientific Understanding

Environmental Issues and Challenges

Human-Environment Interaction

Sustainable Practices

Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving:

Ethical Considerations

Civic Engagement

Systems Thinking

Cultural and Historical Perspectives

Personal Connection to Nature

Why would you use annual data. You would lose all the interesting seasonality information.

My school is a public school so we are under the Department of Education (DepEd) which follows the K-12 Basic Education Program, with which the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) is implemented, where students are initially taught in their first language before gradually transitioning to Filipino and English.

Wim Kaijser Yeah, if I look at how history repeats itself all the time... my belief in human brain usage is not so optimistic...

Literacy is a part of competence and is referred to correct usage of language esp. written. It is closer to performance because it presupposes language usage. Competence is more ideal, generalized knowledge or understanding how a certain languge works.

According to the Muslim Religious principles that women used to say that money is the property of men who has to handle among responsibilities.

This shows that attitude of the Muslim women due to their religion dogmas and cultural traits have made them to be dependent financially.

Women don't ito be independent in the financial status due their religion and mental behavior too.

Even though this could be the practices are being continued over the centur.

The modern Muslim women have drastically changed because of Education.

Islamic Banking loan do not have interest because of the Islamic principles.

It is all about the mental attitude of the Muslim women have to follow the old tradition or break up the old dogmas, ideas and principles etc.

It is very clear distinction that in the case of Pakistan, the educated women have radical thinking about innovation and intelligency in succeeding their efforts and attempts in general.

Individuality makes the woman to be independent financially.

Pakistan women half of them have not educated so it is to be identified by conducting the research to find out the ground reality in the villages or sub-urban centres.

I think that this situation exists in rural Pakistan because many women have educated in abroad have great hope of breaking the barriers of the traditional practices.

Hi,

Some studies offer insights into social influence and financial literacy but don't focus on peer influence's moderating role in budgeting behaviours.

See study links below.

Hope this helps.

Anecdotal: I have seen children in STEM activities gain insight to mathematical thinking when engaged in problem solving. The activities involved measurements: length, volume, and area. Constructing models - free form and then using written instructions. Instructions can be numerical or visual model with dimensions on the part or on a map/template.

Education requires special qualifications that are not available to everyone

Here are some workable suggestions for proxy variables to financial literacy:

Los microorganismos no halófilos capaces de crecer tanto en ausencia como en presencia de sal son llamados halotolerantes; los halotolerantes que son capaces de crecer aproximadamente al 15% (w/v) de NaCl (2,5 M) son considerados halotolerantes extremos. Los microorganismos que requieren sal para su crecimiento son llamados halófilos. De acuerdo a la definición de Kushner (30), es posible distinguir entre halófilos débiles, como lo son la mayoría de los organismos marinos, considerando que el agua de mar contiene cerca del 3% (w/v) de NaCl; halófilos moderados, cuyo crecimiento óptimo se encuentra en un rango del 3 al 15% (w/v) de sal, y halófilos extremos, que presentan un crecimiento óptimo al 25% (w/v) de NaCl (44).

Por otro lado debes aislar el ADN de ambas cepas y amplificar genes de resistencia a salinidad, a través de PCR convencional o Real Time. Estos genes ya determinados por otros autores cuyas secuencia a veces la publican.

Non-halophilic microorganisms capable of growing both in the absence and in the presence of salt are called halotolerant; halotolerants that are capable of growing in approximately 15% (w/v) NaCl (2.5 M) are considered extreme halotolerants. Microorganisms that require salt for their growth are called halophiles. According to Kushner's definition (30), it is possible to distinguish between weak halophiles, as most marine organisms are, considering that seawater contains about 3% (w/v) of NaCl; moderate halophiles, whose optimum growth is found in a range of 3 to 15% (w/v) of salt, and extreme halophiles, which show optimal growth at 25% (w/v) of NaCl (44).

On the other hand, you must isolate the DNA of both strains and amplify genes for resistance to salinity, through conventional or Real Time PCR. These genes already determined by other authors whose sequence is sometimes published.

Advancing adult education in India presents both challenges and opportunities. Here are some key factors to consider:

Challenges:

1. Low Literacy Rates: India still faces significant challenges in terms of adult literacy rates. According to UNESCO, the adult literacy rate in India is around 74%, with a significant gender gap.

2. Access to Education: Many adults in India face barriers to accessing education, such as limited availability of educational institutions, lack of infrastructure, and financial constraints.

3. Language Diversity: India is a linguistically diverse country, with numerous regional languages. Providing education in multiple languages and ensuring effective communication can be a challenge.

4. Technological Divide: Access to technology and digital literacy can be a barrier for adult learners, particularly in rural areas or among marginalized communities.

5. Socio-cultural Factors: Societal norms, gender biases, and cultural factors can influence adult education participation, particularly for women and marginalized groups.

Opportunities:

1. Government Initiatives: The Indian government has launched various initiatives to promote adult education, such as the National Literacy Mission and the Digital India campaign. These initiatives provide opportunities for collaboration and investment in adult education.

2. Skill Development: India's growing economy demands a skilled workforce. Adult education programs can focus on providing vocational training and skill development to enhance employability.

3. Technology-Enabled Learning: Technology can play a significant role in advancing adult education. Online platforms, mobile learning, and digital resources can help overcome geographical barriers and provide flexible learning opportunities.

4. Public-Private Partnerships: Collaboration between government, non-profit organizations, and private sectors can help address the challenges of adult education by pooling resources, expertise, and innovative approaches.

5. Community Engagement: Engaging local communities, NGOs, and grassroots organizations can help create awareness, build trust, and tailor educational programs to meet the specific needs of adult learners.

6. Recognition of Prior Learning: Recognizing and valuing the skills and knowledge acquired through informal and non-formal means can encourage adult learners to participate in education and gain formal recognition for their abilities.

Addressing these challenges and leveraging the opportunities can contribute to the advancement of adult education in India, empowering individuals, and promoting socio-economic development.

Please find some literacy strategies that may be useful for English Language Learners (ELLs) in non-ELA classes. Here are some tips and strategies:

Provide visuals to support language comprehension: Students who are not proficient in English may have difficulty understanding complex vocabulary and concepts. Providing visuals such as diagrams, charts, and graphs can help students understand the material better.

Pre-teach key vocabulary: Pre-teaching key vocabulary words before a lesson can help ELLs better understand new concepts. This can be done through word walls, flashcards, or pre-teaching activities.

Use graphic organizers: Graphic organizers, such as KWL charts or concept maps, can help ELLs organize their thoughts and understand new concepts visually.

Incorporate peer-to-peer learning opportunities: Pairing ELLs with native English speaking peers can provide students with opportunities to practice their language skills and learn from each other.

Encourage the use of bilingual resources: When available, bilingual materials, such as textbooks and dictionaries, can help ELLs bridge the gap between their first language and English.

Create a welcoming classroom environment: Creating a welcoming classroom environment can help ELLs feel more comfortable and confident in their language abilities. This can be done through positive reinforcement, cultural awareness, and support from the teacher.

Provide extra support: Providing ELLs with extra support, such as after-school tutoring or additional resources, can help them succeed in classes where they may struggle.

Overall, incorporating these strategies can help ELLs succeed in non-ELA classes and feel more confident in their language abilities. It is important to also be patient and understanding of ELLs as they navigate a new language and culture.

Dear Sunday,

One commonly used and validated standardized scale for measuring financial literacy among undergraduate students is the Financial Literacy Assessment (FLA) developed by the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE). The FLA is a comprehensive questionnaire that assesses various dimensions of financial knowledge and understanding.

Another widely recognized scale is the Financial Knowledge Scale (FKS) developed by Peng, Bartholomae, and Fox (2005). The FKS measures financial knowledge across different domains, including saving, borrowing, investing, and insurance.

Additionally, the Jumpstart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy has developed a questionnaire known as the National Standards in K-12 Personal Finance Education. Although originally designed for K-12 students, it can be adapted for use with undergraduate students as well.

It's important to note that these scales have been extensively used and validated, but it's always recommended to review the specific psychometric properties and suitability for your research context before selecting one for your study.

All the best,

Dr.Sarraf

Thank you so much sir David Coker

i'm planning to do it with cornbach alpha reliability test! wish me luck sir

Probably not. Look at the findings of the gates foundation. Lots of money invested on your premise and very little to show. The answer is elsewhere.

Hello Rahul Jain

You make a very interesting point about literacy rates. Beyond just the numbers (eg what percentage of the population), some research has been about the amount of literacy required for the job. So there are subdivisions on the amount of literacy (such as in OECD reports) compared to a yes/no view. Do you think that is more helpful and do you think it is even necessary?

Example:

World Bank defined financial inclusion as "Financial inclusion means that individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs – transactions, payments, savings, credit, and insurance – delivered in a responsible and sustainable way." The scope of financial inclusion is not limited to only banking services but also extends to other financial services such as insurance, equity products, and pension products. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies can be used.

Financial literacy means knowing how to use and benefit from affordable products and services. its scope includes budgetary education (personal or family budget) and learning about banking tools (everyday banking, savings, insurance), as well as understanding economic concepts (how the economy operates and is financed) and public policies.

For Mobile financial inclusion, you can benefit form the next guideline

Dear Aslanidou, Very clever in asking. My colleagues and I, we made an instrument to know some cognitive skills, I share it with you, in case it helps you. Best regards

Thank you

Dea Maisa, It depends on whether the pedagogy for students to learn, is structured and defined to or defined by UNESCO (Within that pedagogy that you point out,) should include, reading, writing, calculation, digital skills, media literacy etc. So it also depends if students are learning what they are teaching, for this it is very important, that they put it into practice. Best regards

Hi Veliz, I hope these documents serve you:

Best regard

You could organize some projects with your students that are meaningful to them and can be used on their daily life. For example; write a letter to a friend who moved to another country or gather information and write an essay about their favorite singer etc.

Dear Haseeb,

Again, in no way do I disagree - education is a good thing, from my point of view. Corruption and teachers who don't believe in teaching, who don't see their success in the children they are supposed to serve, are hard to root out. These problems exist around the world, and no one thing has prevented them. However, selection matters - choosing teachers carefully. Holding them to account - having a mechanism to remove teachers who are not competent. And reinforcing and working with those teachers who are doing their work. I would say you need all three mechanisms, and the community cannot probably count on the government at all for the last two.

Take care

@Christian M. Ringle

Hello Kirti,

Of course, the model(s) of interest should be driven by your specific research question(s).

It sounds to me as if you could:

1. Evaluate two different models: (a) one with FinLit as a mediator, with some other variable as the target DV (and at least one IV beyond these vars); (b) one with FinLit as a DV;

The only problem with this approach is that you don't have a simultaneous test of whatever the mediation RQ is, coupled with whatever the FinLit = DV RQ might be.

2. Combine the models, so that, FinLit is in fact a target DV for one or more other variables, and it behaves as a mediator in that relationship.

The only problem with the second approach is you'd have to respecify it in at least two other ways to evaluate the mediation hypothesis vs. whatever the hypothesis of interest is when FinLit is the DV.

You'll have to decide which approach makes the most sense given your research aims.

Good luck with your work.

I agree with Albert Zeigler. Morever, miscegnation exponentially increased during the past 30 years which fosters higher cross-ethnic buy-in toward equally distributed pedagogy.

There is no digital literacy possible without advanced literacy and technical skills, i.e. tech-know-logical education and enlightenment operate as information selection system In the digitized cosmos of virtual reality. Am in line with

Jebunnesa Jeba and Áurea Gabriel , but I see digital literacy as tech-know-logical icing on the cake, with respect to advanced literacy and technical skills In physical reality.

I agree with Mr Hassan, and I would like to add that literature work is considered a language resource for English and most languages. Poems, even legends believe to be a linguistic resource. So, any SL teacher or student needs to return to the literature to enrich his linguistic backgrounds, such as vocabulary and grammar. It is the perfect writing, reading, or even daily conversation model.

Which of the area do u want to articulate?

The findings of research shows that respondents who have low financial literacy leads to higher in spending behavior. ... Findings shows that the age above 50 years are high in spending behavior and low in financial knowledge because of low awareness of financial literacy as compared to the younger age group people.

Important question

In case of one dependent variable you can apply 't'-test and in case of more than one dependent variable you can apply MANOVA.

very interesting research, could one say that logically one would expect that the higher rate of financial literacy, the more scrupulous the retirement plans? or does income(which probably positively correlates with financial literacy) play a bigger role?

Dear Winfrey

Stock market participation is a widely discussed phenomenon in finance-related fields Activities and academic literature, and relatively large differences in the participation rate of stock markets in specific countries have not been explored to a large extent. Although many scholars have elaborated on the relevance of financial knowledge related to stock market participation and the importance of the latter, the participation rate is still quite low. The academic community seems to agree with the fact that an individual’s financial knowledge is It is important in predicting the degree of participation in the stock market. In addition to the generally low stock market participation, the mystery of stock market participation is also related to large cross-country differences. Although the participation rate of the stock market has increased over time, huge differences in the participation rate of countries still exist. To this day, the puzzles involved in the stock market are still relatively incomplete. Although its importance has been proven, scholars still cannot fully and reasonably explain the relatively low stock market participation rate and the difference in stock market participation rates between countries. Traditional research mainly focuses on the personal characteristics of stock market participation. When a country’s social connections decline, financial literacy becomes a more important determinant of stock market participation. This means that it is particularly interesting for policymakers in countries with low social ties to invest in improving their country’s financial knowledge. Compared with similar growth in financial knowledge in countries with very close social connections, this investment will generate a relatively large increase in stock market participation. In addition, increased participation in the stock market will ultimately benefit society.

These are samples of survey questionnaire used in financial literacy:

Dear Joanna Huxster,

thank you for the question!

On the one hand, personally I have never heard about "environmental knowledge literacy" as such, may be it exists (share if you will find any links, would be so curious). On the other hand, there is no doubt, that "environmental competences" (knowledge, attitudes and skills) as a "draft" for environmental knowledge awareness could be in a content of science/environmental education. Also it would be possible to search via key words, such as "sustainable development", "environmental studies" or "circular economy".

I wish you to find and share your investigations!

So welcome,

Loreta

Ok Jody, literacy skills consist of two forms, spoken form and written form. Spoken form assessment can be carried out by interviewed and/or develop recording video. Written form assessment can be carried out by English teachers through delivering questions to his/her learners. The results of writing composition can be measured by using Turnitin. The main point of writing assessment is how English teachers make writing assessment design. Ok thanks
