MÖGLICHKEITEN DES EINSATZES VON CHATBOTS FÜR DEN GRAMMATIKUNTERRICHT IN DER LEHRER*INNENAUSBILDUNG

2024-09-09T15:02:00+02:00

Die Bildung, der Prozess des Lehrens und Lernens, befindet sich heute in einem starken Wandel. Die Kompetenzen des 21. Jahrhunderts betonen zunehmend die Bedeutung von Zusammenarbeit, Selbstentwicklung und lebenslangem Lernen. Darüber hinaus entstehen neue Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien, und das Potenzial für den Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz in der Bildung wächst. In der Lehrer- und Lehrerinnenausbildung wird der Unterricht in Semantik und Grammatik (Wortschatz, Morphologie, Syntax) im Kurs Ungarische Sprache II mit der Entwicklung des algorithmischen Denkens in der Mathematik kombiniert. Wir haben neue Methoden eingeführt, um die Motivation, die Zusammenarbeit und die multiplen Intelligenzen der Student*innen zu fördern und Raum für die Integration zwischen den Fächern zu schaffen. Um den traditionellen Unterricht zu überdenken und die Fähigkeiten der Student*innen zu entwickeln, haben wir ihnen die Aufgabe gestellt, die Rolle eines Chatbots zu übernehmen. Nach der theoretischen Einführung wurden die Studierenden mit dem Entscheidungsbaum und NLP-basierten Chatbots vertraut gemacht. Dann bekamen sie zwei fiktive Themen zur Auswahl (Terminvereinbarung in einer Schule oder in einem Studienbüro) und mussten nach der Definition der Ziele den Denkalgorithmus, das Flussdiagramm und den Entscheidungsbaum für die Chatbots erstellen. Eine Grundvoraussetzung für all diese komplexen Aufgaben ist ein gründliches Verständnis der Struktur der Sprache, die wir mit dieser Kursanpassung veranschaulichen wollten. In diesem Schreiben werden die Beschreibung und die Ergebnisse dieser experimentellen Forschung sowie die komplexe Förderung der Student*innen auf der Basis von multiplen Intelligenzen zusammengefasst.

DEVELOPMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH-CONSCIOUS BEHAVIOUR IN LOWER PRIMARY ENGLISH LESSONS

2024-09-09T15:14:43+02:00

Health as a value was already respected in the life of the oldest communities, and they tried to create harmony in their lives. The perception of health, the positive attitudes to wards health are established in childhood. Families and the educational work carried out in public education institutions, occupy a special place in this process. Health education and promotion, as important elements of education for sustainability, prepare students to respect health as a value and be able to contribute to the creation of a sustainable soci ety and economy in an active and constructive way. The purpose of this study is to present the theoretical background and pedagogical practice of health education by examining the Moson-Sopron county, and a survey performed with the headteachers and English teachers of the elementary schools of this county. We assume that these schools have a Health education program, health education is included in the curriculum of all subjects, project work is considered a significant method. Environment and health education can be supported by project work, highlighting sustainability and the importance of environment protection. The novelty of the pilot environmental education project - presented in this paper - is the module focusing on environmental hazards, as this is an extracurricular topic. The pre- and post-survey carried out among the 4th grade learners of a volunteer primary school before and after the project implementation proved that they had some basic knowledge about some areas of sustainability and healthy life but the project could help them to widen and deepen their knowledge and to understand the link between environment and their health.

ESCAPE ROOMS IN GEOGRAPHY EDUCATION: AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO LEARNING AND TEACHING

2024-09-09T15:52:42+02:00

Background: The use of escape rooms in education has gained traction as an innovative pedagogical approach to enhancing student engagement and alleviating learning-related anxiety. This study explored the effectiveness of escape rooms as an instructional tool in geography education, with a particular focus on Generation Z students, who are known for their preference for practical learning opportunities and active engagement.
Results: The study conducted an educational experiment involving Hungarian 7th grade students, comparing the escape room methodology with traditional frontal teaching methods. The results indicated that students exposed to escape rooms exhibited
heightened engagement and sustained attention compared to those in the control group. Furthermore, students generally preferred collaborative escape room sessions, which provided opportunities for social interaction and shared responsibilities. Analysis of end of-unit test results revealed a positive correlation between escape room methodology and student performance, particularly in tasks requiring higher cognitive levels and evaluation.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that escape rooms align well with the learning preferences of Generation Z students, and contribute to enhanced student engagement, attention, and learning outcomes in geography education. Escape rooms offer a gamified approach that resonates with the characteristics and preferences of modern learners, emphasizing the importance of innovative teaching strategies tailored to contemporary student needs. These insights underscore the potential of escape rooms as an effective in structional tool for fostering meaningful learning experiences.

USE OF TERMINOLOGY AND (META)LINGUISTIC AWARENESS IN GRADE 4 EXPERIENCE FROM A PILOT STUDY

2024-09-09T15:59:06+02:00

To understand the texts we read, we need language use and linguistic knowledge, as well as metalinguistic awareness related to the text. We examined linguistic and metalinguistic awareness in two areas: at the level of compound words and in relation to words with suffixes. We operated with the following assumptions in our action research: H1: The participants achieve better results in tasks related to affixed words. H2: Those who can justify their answers and reflect on their question answering process using grammatical terms will achieve better results in completing the worksheet. The 15-task test measures metalinguistic knowledge related to compound and suffixed words. The solutions require either implicit or explicit elaboration. Out of the 36 utterances in the "interpretative" text, grammatical metalanguage-related expressions were used by the informants in 13 cases. Through the use of quantitative content analysis, the study could contribute to the development of native language methodology and grammar teaching in lower primary education.

LOOK, THATS HOW I DO IT! TRY IT!

In Hungary, children and pupils with special educational needs are those who, on the basis of a diagnostic assessment by a committee of educational experts, are entitled to additional support for their development. Today, they are often placed in inclusive or integrative kindergartens and schools, where they learn with other children and are assisted in their development by a special needs teacher. Several studies have looked at the role of special needs teachers in inclusive education. Other approaches emphasise collaboration between professionals, and some forms of collaboration are seen as teamwork. Although these collaborations are necessary to achieve the best possible developmental outcomes, they are difficult to achieve for a number of reasons. This paper presents an action research project in which teamwork, i.e. case discussion, solution finding and knowledge transfer, took the form of online collaboration. The methodological framework was participatory action research. Although this form of collaboration was created out of necessity in the institution, the positive feedback and results from the participants show the need for activities and collective learning adapted to the knowledge level and needs of teachers, which help them to deal with everyday tasks and problems with more confidence and self-efficacy.

ASSISTING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SKILLS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SELF-DIRECTED AND SELF-ACCESS LEARNING ACTIVITIES

2024-09-09T16:09:30+02:00

This paper explores the potential role of higher education institutions in equipping students with essential skills for their future careers through self-access and self-directed learning activities. The study focuses on a comprehensive student development
framework available at Budapest Business University. Through self-access and self-directed learning as well as innovative educational practices and strategies such as peer collaboration, project-based learning, telecollaboration, skills for life, individual learning accounts, language skills for business and upskilling students are provided with dynamic and engaging learning environments that prepare them for the complexities of the global job market. Introducing concrete examples from the Universitys initiatives, the paper illustrates how self-access and self-directed learning activities enhance students business skills development. The study concludes by advocating educational approaches that empower learners to take control of their learning journey, thereby potentially equipping students with lifelong learning skills essential for navigating in todays ever changing world of work.

SURSULAPITSCHI AND THE JOURNEY A CONTRIBUTION TO RESEARCH ON CHILDRENS LITERATURE IN HUNGARY

2024-09-09T16:17:54+02:00

In the following brief reflection, I present some of the characteristics of current and recent Hungarian initiatives in childrens literature, based on the institutional framework and internal literary dynamics. The aim is to give the reader a realistic picture of the current state of research in contemporary Hungarian childrens literature. The paper focuses on the opportunities and challenges facing active and prospective researchers in childrens literature. The text describes the impact of the political and literary regime change on the institutional system and research practices in childrens literature; considers the reasons for counterproductive literary historical approaches, discusses the lack of methods of childrens book criticism and psychology, and proposes some modest methodological suggestion for textual analysis. Despite all the difficulties, for example the legacy of the literary history and the the poorer literary output of the nineties, childrens literature research in Hungary is moving in the right direction. So in this text particular attention is paid to the remarkable initiatives, projects and texts in childrens literature especially of the last 15 years.

EMERGENCE OF THE RESOURCE-BASED VIEW (RBV) AND ITS IMPACT ON FAMILY BUSINESS RESEARCH

2024-09-09T15:20:17+02:00

The emergence of the resource-based view (RBV) has changed the understanding of how companies grow and shifted the focus of examination from the firms external factors to the internal ones, more specifically to the companys resources so that the divergent developmental route of companies could be explained. The fundamental as sumption of RBV is that companies have different resources. If these resources are valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable (VRIN), they represent a lasting competitive advantage for the company.
This study aims to discuss the literature review results to encapsulate the evolution of the resource-based view, its impact on family business research and theories, and its novel contributions to this field. RBV has been incorporated in family business research with the premise that family firms are thought to have resources that differ from those of their non-family counterparts because the family itself is considered a VRIN resource, through which the company can gain a competitive advantage and achieve higher organizational performance.
A family business stood the test of time as it is still used even in recent research as a reference point. Familiness has also contributed to the emergence of other concepts such as the socioemotional wealth.
