В статье анализируется современное состояние экономических отношений России и Японии, факторы, влияющие на динамику и структуру экономических связей двух стран, определяются перспективные направления развития взаимовыгодного сотрудничества. Автор показывает, что значимость экономического взаимодействия между Россией и Японией для каждой из стран нельзя оценивать только по статистическим данным. Важно понимать, решению каких стратегических задач социально-экономического развития страны, отдельных отраслей, производств, регионов, может способствовать экономическое сотрудничество с партнером.

Как известно, цифровизация многих сторон жизни современного общества стала актуальной в ХХI в. для большинства развитых стран. Этот процесс характерен и для Российской Федерации, причем особое ускорение он получил в настоящий период пандемии COVID-19. Стремительному развитию цифровизации подвергается сейчас сфера образования, где обучение на расстоянии становится одной из центральных форм. Эта стремительность породила ряд проблем, как организационных, так и психологических, поскольку реальная действительность оказалась еще не в полной мере подготовлена к радикальным изменениям как в методике преподавания, так и в способах получения знаний студенческой аудиторией. Соответственно, данная трансформация столь важной для общества сферы, как образовательная, требует приложения усилий представителей многих …

В статье рассмотрены особенности системы доминантной партии в Японии в период существования «системы 1955 года» (1955-1993). Особое внимание уделяется тем политическим технологиям, которые правящая Либерально-демократическая партия использовала для удержания своего господства при сохранении всех демократических процедур: методам электоральной политики; методам достижения консенсуса на основе внутрипартийного баланса сил с целью недопущения раскола; методам обновления имиджа партии путем смены руководства; технологиям внесения раскола в ряды оппозиции. По мнению автора, одной из причин устойчивости феномена доминантной партии в Японии является «зависимость от накатанного пути», которая воспроизводит общенациональную политическую модель в различных исторических обстоятельствах.

The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in 19 preservice chemistry teachers’ understandings of the structure of matter, including the aspects of the physical states of matter, the physical composition of matter, and the chemical composition of matter, before, immediately after, and months after they received a specific instruction. The one-group pre, post, and delayed posttest design was used, and participants’ understandings before, immediately after, and months after the instruction were assessed using the same “three part particulate drawing” classification question constructed by Sanger (2000). Collected data were analyzed according to both the number of scientifically appropriate …

Internationally, learning science through investigation is promoted as a preferred pedagogical approach. Research presented takes a view that such learning depends on how teachers understand science investigation. Teachers‘ understanding of science investigation was an aspect of an interpretive case study of the phenomenon of science investigation exploring the links between learning, motivation and assessment in year 11 science. Data were collected through a population survey of year 11 science teachers (n=165) in the greater Wellington region through a postal questionnaire (response rate 61%). In addition, all year 11 science teachers in a typical coeducational, middle size, urban secondary school were …

The literature on professional development is replete with studies that utilize survey, interview, and classroom observation data, primarily collected post professional development experience, to explore teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and actions; however, we lack a clear understanding of teachers’ learning process and reflections during the professional development. The current study aims to address the abovementioned gaps in the literature, by utilizing participant reflections and assignments during a summer professional development opportunity, to elucidate the process by which teachers learn about inquiry-based teaching and begin to implement it in their planning, in addition to factors they deem influential in this process. The …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the environmental attitudes (EA) in the population of 15-year-old French students and, to check if the French student population presents similar EA categorization as described in the different models in the literature (e.g. the Model of Ecological Values, Wiseman & Bogner 2003). The second aim of this study is to identify the different factors influencing students’ EA. We analyse the results of the questionnaire-based Relevance of Science Education Project carried out in France in 2008 as a part of a wider international comparative study ROSE (Relevance Of Science Education). The hierarchical ascendant …

In this paper, it is aimed to investigate the persistence of misconceptions in the topic of the human blood circulatory system among students in different grade levels. For this reason, after discussions with biology educators, two tests consisting of open-ended questions were developed by the researcher and administered to students in four different grade levels. The first test was administered to 319 5th and 7th grade students in elementary school and the second one was administered to 400 1st and 4th year university students studying in the departments of elementary school teaching, science education and biology education. Data were analyzed …

This study investigates noise pollution levels in two elementary schools. Also, “noise level awareness and sensitivity training” was given for reducing noise pollution, and the effects and results of this training were evaluated. ‘Sensitivity’ training was given to 611 students and 48 teachers in a private and a public school. Questionnaires, sound meter observations, and the reflections of the student teachers participating in the study were used for collecting data. The findings showed that noise levels measured in both schools were much higher than national and international upper limits. The data obtained through the first questionnaire indicated that students and …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels of energy literacy among 276 Form 2 (Grade 8) Malaysian students as no similar study has been previously conducted in the country, as well as the contribution of students’ energy-related knowledge and attitudes on their energy-related behaviors. This was a non-experimental quantitative research using the sample survey method to collect data by using the ‘Energy Literacy Questionnaire’ (ELQ). Independent samples t-test, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple linear regressions were used to analyse the data. The study found that levels of energy literacy were relatively low suggesting that the implemented curriculum …
