Effect of Two Instructional (Project And Inquiry ) Strategies on Students’ Achievement in Selected Biological Abstract Concepts
33-43Views:182The purpose of this study was to ascertain how two instructional strategies—project and inquiry—affect students' mastery of particular abstract biological concepts. The study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. 120 SS II Biology students were chosen at random from six coeducational schools located in two Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the state of Kwara. Treatment groups were assigned to participants at random. The Biology Student Achievement Test (r=0.88) and the Teachers' Instructional Guide on Project and Inquiry Strategies were the instruments utilised. Two theories were developed and put to the test at the significance level of 0.05. The intervention had a significant main effect on students' achievement on a subset of selected biological abstract concepts (F(2, 107) =12.061; p<0.05, partial η2 = 0.184), according to an analysis of covariance conducted on the gathered data. The students in the Conventional Strategy (CS) control group have the lowest adjusted mean achievement values (x ̅ = 17.20), whereas the students in the Project Strategy (PS) treatment group 1 have the highest adjusted mean achievement values (x ̅ = 23.21). It is indicated that PS > IS > CS is the order. The mean growth in accomplishment values for male students was higher at 21.94, compared to 17.13 for female students. Project and inquiry methodologies should be implemented in order to raise students' accomplishment in biology's abstract concepts, according to the findings.

Possibilities for Introduction of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education System with a Holistic Approach
27-41Views:256The current spread of generative artificial intelligence cannot escape anyone's attention. This necessarily results in changes in all areas of life, including education, to which we need not only to react but also to prepare and anticipate. The study approaches the topic with a holistic approach and, based on recent research, formulates a methodological proposal based on recent research that can form the basis for developing a complex long-term strategy for the introduction of generative artificial intelligence in education. As part of this, after laying the theoretical background and methodological foundations, the prerequisites and preparatory steps necessary for strategy creation are mapped out, the stakeholders are identified, and proposals are then formulated regarding long-term goals and their breakdown into operational plans and action sequences, covering sensitization, building teacher competence, the application of artificial intelligence in teaching and education for students. The study highlights key areas and draws attention to steps to help solve current and future problems, including expected impacts and consequences.

Internet and Social Media Use Patterns Among Youth in State Care
39-50Views:28This study analyses the social media usage patterns of adolescents in state care and young people within the general population, with a particular focus on the relationship between loneliness and digital platform option within the framework of Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT).This topic is quite relevant today as mobile devices and the Internet had turned into key venues for the socialization and emotional regulation norm of young people, especially those who are disadvantaged in their social relationships. In our research, we seek to answer how young people's use of various social media platforms reflects the fulfilment of their social needs, and how these patterns are influenced by subjective well-being, feelings of loneliness, and family background. The sample consists of 554 young people aged 13–20, including those in state care and a control group. Based on the results of the quantitative analysis, young people in state care primarily use Messenger to maintain family relationships, very intensly, or seldom, as a kind of ‘virtual umbilical cord’, while for the control group, the same platform is a way of strengthening peer relationships. The overall impression indicates that lonely young people in state care are more likely to turn to platforms offering passive, parasocial content (such as YouTube). According to the overall results of our study, the functional role of social media varies significantly depending on social background: For young people in state care, digital communication is not only a form of entertainment but also, in a sense, a partial substitute for a lack of relationships and a psychological coping strategy.

Employment of People with Disabilities as a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Strategy
21-37Views:32The study examines how the employment of people with disabilities is reflected in corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies among companies in Hungary. It explores how CSR activities shape society's attitudes and what competitive advantages can be gained. The study uses a mixed methodology: content analysis is used to present the communication strategies of four large companies (Szerencsejáték Zrt., Auchan Magyarország Kft., Magyar Posta Zrt., Nolato Magyarország Kft.) based on a specific set of criteria. The qualitative study involved seven participants. The results are processed using thematic analysis and quote-based interpretation. Based on empirical research, it can be concluded that people with disabilities can be integrated into the open labor market. Companies have separate integration programs and communicate this on their websites, but there is still improvement needed in their communication on social media, as only those who specifically search for it will find it.

INTERPRETATIONAL POSSIBILITIES OF M-LEARNING WITH THE HELP OF THE IPOO MODEL
37-43Views:206Technological changes have created a high level of internet penetration and also the access to information that is less limited nowadays compared to earlier times, through the possession of portable online devices. These changes make it necessary to think about the process of teaching and learning, as well as the content, the means, and methods of it. In this paper review not only the features of the online learning environment created by the processes mentioned above but also its possible role in understanding learning as an information processing procedure. The focus of research is the analysis of the m-learning IPOO-model.

ACCESSIBLE TOURISM SERVICES IN THE NORTH GREAT PLAIN REGION
77-81Views:300In the ever-increasing competition between the tourist destinations, the rethinking of the primary and secondary attraction factors (Bácsné et. al., 2018), their re-planning, supplementation, and development are indispensable. This is also true for Hungary and the Northern Great Plain region, where the availability of therapeutic and thermal water is a priority factor (Müller & Könyves, 2006; Müller & Kórik 2009; Michalkó & Rácz 2011; Löwei 2017). The further development towards accessible tourism, even for a long-standing, well-established destination in health tourism is to be considered, in order service providers not only could strengthen their existing position but also open up to new markets and consumer groups (Mosonyi et. al. 2013, Lengyel 2015). The understanding and implementation of strategies for new consumer groups include the product and service evaluation based on individual leisure constraints.

Abduction in the Assessment of Special Educational Needs - Learning Disability
31-44Views:299The diagnostic categories used to define learning disability are not standardized, and categorization systems are vague. This study aimed to explore the diagnostic methodology and strategies used to identify learning disabilities. The aim is to identify abductions in diagnostics in the field of special education. Interpreting diagnostics in remedial education using abduction can help identify learning disabilities more accurately. In the previous research phase, we conducted a meta-analysis of 11 expert reviews to identify abduction using fuzzy logic, fsQCA, and Boolean algebra. This study allowed for the creation of a new abductive diagnostic model. Based on these results, the reliability of the diagnostic process can be increased, and the diagnostic model can be used to detect learning disabilities or other types of problems and to identify sufficient conditions underlying a given phenomenon. Neither qualitative content analysis nor fsQCA revealed a relationship between all variables at a sufficient depth. Thus, in the present study, we moved on to Bayesian meshes, which shift and attempt to reorder previously identified variables based on conditional probability. We hypothesized that the Bayesian mesh and abduction application together may already be an efficient tool, which also anticipates the possibility of automation.
