Supportive reflection definition12/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Specifically, teacher efficacy is concerned with a teacher’s self-evaluation of their instructional capabilities in achieving desired outcomes in an educational setting ( Zee et al., 2018 Thompson and Dooley, 2019 Liu et al., 2021 Samfira and Paloş, 2021). Bandura (1993) proposed that a person’s view of their abilities influences their confidence or proficiency in handling demanding and challenging circumstances, which in turn influences their psychological wellbeing. Self-efficacy, as the second construct under research in the study, refers to a person’s beliefs and perceptions about their capability to attain specific outcomes in particular settings ( Bandura, 1997). As a result, there has been a growing body of research exploring the factors that impact EFL/ESL teachers’ work engagement ( Burić and Macuka, 2018 Greenier et al., 2021 Xie, 2021). Cardwell (2011) also emphasized that heightened work engagement can positively impact instruction effectiveness. (2002), individuals who are dedicated and passionate about their work tend to be more engaged in their profession. ![]() Furthermore, studies have found that engagement is positively associated with teacher efficacy and can act as a bridge between social support and efficacy ( Bresó et al., 2011 Høigaard et al., 2012 Han and Wang, 2021 Namaziandost et al., 2022). This concept has gained recognition as a key indicator in evaluating the quality of teachers’ professional lives and its influence on various work-related consequences including instruction quality, problem-solving skills, organizational commitment, and work satisfaction ( Field and Buitendach, 2012). Work engagement is described as a state characterized by passion, energy, and motivation toward work and has been linked to physical and psychological wellbeing at work as well as a pleasing and satisfying state of mind ( Rothmann, 2008 Bakker et al., 2011 Greenier et al., 2021). ![]() Given its significance, there is growing interest in examining the factors that predict teacher work engagement ( Eldor and Shoshani, 2016 Greenier et al., 2021). Teacher work engagement has been identified as a crucial aspect in determining the success of educational outcomes ( Timms and Brough, 2013 Perera et al., 2018). Further research can explore ways to enhance these predictors through training and support programs for teachers. The significance of these predictors of work engagement among EFL teachers highlights the importance of fostering self-efficacy, reflection, and resilience among teachers in order to promote their work engagement. Similarly, teacher reflection also had an indirect impact on work engagement through teacher resilience.ĭiscussion: These results have important implications for teacher education programs. Results: The findings indicated that teacher self-efficacy, teacher reflection, and teacher resilience were direct predictors of work engagement, and teacher self-efficacy had an indirect effect on work engagement via teacher reflection and resilience. Then, structural equation modeling was utilized to examine the relationships between the variables. The construct validity of the measures was confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis. Methods: To achieve this goal, 512 EFL teachers were invited to participate in an online survey, which consisted of four questionnaires. Against this backdrop, this study aimed to investigate the predictors of teacher work engagement among Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers by testing a model that includes teacher self-efficacy, teacher reflection, and teacher resilience. Introduction: Given the significant role of work engagement of teachers in educational contexts, some scholarly attention has been directed to exploring the predictors of this construct.

Spore creature creator fighting mod12/29/2023 ![]() Usually this is enough to reduce the complexity meter by 2 dots, which is quite a lot. ![]() It turns out that if you turn all of them into normal gates, they somehow use less complexity. Imagine you have a max complexity adventure, but a lot of disguised gates. There's a trick discovered by user 101Gamer. As far as I know, it is possible to exceed the complexity limit even without this mod. I want to figure out when data loss begins to occur. That's a lot of space if you are efficient with complexity. You can go from full max to five green dots. I don't know if I said this before, but the complexity reduction is huge. Adventure creators have more legroom than ever before, and they can easily share it with the rest of Sporepedia to enjoy. And better yet, your adventure will still share. It works if you tell your player beforehand that you must use Inspect to play the adventure). Wanted to make a huge city but could only bother to make a town? NOW you can make your huge city! Always wanted to make a populous village square but kept running out of complexity? NOW you can do that! Always wanted to make a sprawling map full of different biomes and settlements but had to settle for just making a tiny microcosm? Not anymore! Did you have to remove characters with essential Inspect captions to supplement your "Talk/Examine X" objectives because creatures take so much complexity? NOT ANYMORE (This was my workaround for not having 6 speech bubbles or multiple acts. The mod however, extends the complexity meter so that you CAN put all of that into your adventure at last. If a creator had a particularly complex idea involving a detailed environment or a huge ensemble, he/she would have to split it across adventures or compromise the idea. And one of the only reasons to make adventures anymore is for other people, as much as possible of course within reason, to play them (at least to me). The cheat "freedom" sometimes doesn't even work. For eons spore players have had to deal with the complexity meter in order to get their creations to share. The number changes to me are very significant, enough to count as revolutionary. I also can usually fit what I want in the speech bubbles. I view the mod from this overly positive angle because I'm used to GA's limitations, which is why I rarely ever use complex AI scripts. I know those aren't the exact values or variables for those features (nor do I know if any of these variables affects anything else in the game's code), but that is essentially what this 'revolutionary' mod is doing. StartAdventurePoints = 100 instead of 15, and MaxComplexity = 5000 instead of 1000. *Basically, MaxSize(Scale) = 200%, now being 500%. I've basically been hoping that someone comes around and builds a mod that improves the editor, instead of doing something that's essentially a number tweak* I'm not saying it's impossible to make something nice out of the editor (There are some incredibly creative and well-built adventures), and I also said I'm looking for something that's unrealistically able to mimic an RPG. However, I had glitches pop up due to AI not running correctly (namely, enclosed spaces and AI scripts that work SOMETIMES), or needing an extra chapter because I needed 6 speech bubbles due to the character limit. I did a really nice one a while ago (when my account was screwed up). (If Gate A is off/open, make object B visible) I know I'm looking at it as a very unrealistic way to turn it into an RPG editor, but when it comes to telling stories: I like having as much freedom as I can possibly get, and telling a player as much information as I can without the need for breaking the fourth wall (like what Spore has forced me to do)ĮDIT: Oh yes, and for AI, I was thinking of not needing a chapter change in order to change objects. you really can't raise them too high off the ground), more speech pages (10 instead of 5), more chapter goal possibilities (Maybe 5 per chapter?), more characters in a speech bubble (major speaker only, scroll bars -ARE- available in them) basically things to prevent the need to switch chapters because you're "out of room" Stronger AI tools (and planes aren't on the ground. And although those things are nice for adventure creation, I've had my eye on mods that could possibly improve on the editor. I think he implied important as in a stronger overhaul (much like what PlatinumSpore does to the space stage).

Brave new world quotes about shakespeare12/29/2023 ![]() As a result, John displays a strong, persistent aversion to sex, despite his longing for Lenina. This conditioning (accidental, but powerful) occurs early in his life, first when Popé pushes him out of the bedroom, then when the women violently whip Linda and him, and finally when the boys mock him for his mother's sexual freedom. ![]() John associates the reality of sex, for instance, with the absence of his mother, fear, humiliation, and intense physical pain. Note especially in this chapter John's own experience of conditioning, different in kind but not in essence from the conditioning of infants and children in London. In later chapters, John himself will repeat this phrase, as a means of expressing his changing reactions to the world of London - the reality behind the fairy-tale "Other Place" his mother once described to him. The irony of the phrase not only hints at the disappointment that awaits John but draws the novel together for the reader as well, giving a coherent focus to Huxley's satire. The chapter includes the first appearance of the quotation from The Tempest that gives Huxley's novel its title: "O brave new world / That has such people in it." The difference between John's awe of the wonderful "Other Place" and the reader's own knowledge of the dystopia produces powerful dramatic irony at a crucial point. ![]() Reading and meditating on Hamlet's rage at his mother's sexual relations, for example, impels John to express his passion in a violent attack on Popé - a failed attempt that nonetheless marks the beginning of John's independent, adult life. In both cases, the words form perception, shape behavior, and even inspire direct action. John absorbs Shakespeare's poetry in a dream-like state, not entirely understanding the words but receiving the message through repetition, just as the young sleepers of the dystopia accept hypnopaedic wisdom. Implicitly, Huxley compares the memorable, poetic phrases of Shakespeare's poetry with hypnopaedia's catchy lines. In the world of poetry and imagination, John's spirit expands, gaining a unique although eccentric strength and vitality. An old volume of Shakespeare's plays becomes his guide to life. Banned from initiation into manhood, John has nowhere to turn for help in his growth. Because of his European appearance and his mother's sexual activity, John suffers rejection and humiliation at the hands of the elders of Malpais as well as his peers. John is the true individual Bernard sometimes longs to be, and, as Huxley makes clear here, being truly individual means living in pain. A genetic Fordian raised in Malpais, John represents the potential combination of civilization and tradition, but his life has been lonely and heartbreaking. In this chapter, Huxley explores the character of John, the child born unexpectedly in the Savage Reservation. In response, John quotes Shakespeare: "O brave new world. His self-torture gives him a vision of "Time and Death and God."Īs John finishes his story, he and Bernard realize that they share the same feelings of being "terribly alone." Suddenly inspired, Bernard invites John - and Linda, too - to return with him to London. Instead, John goes out alone into the wilderness where he contrives his own physical trials to enter adulthood. As an adolescent, John is not allowed to undergo the initiation ritual into adult Indian society like the other boys. In fact, John's reading in Shakespeare inspires him to try to kill Popé, who is in bed with Linda. Popé finds an old volume of Shakespeare, and the young boy studies it. John also remembers how the Indian women beat Linda, because she felt no sexual restraints with their men.Īs John grows, Linda teaches him to read. John's earliest memories involve his mother's relationships with Indian men - especially Popé, who also introduces Linda to the powerful hallucinogenic drug mescal (which she finds similar to soma). Indeed, he feels as if he and John "were living on different planets, in different centuries." Bernard senses how strange and exotic such a life is, as compared to his own experiences. In this chapter, John recounts his life on the Reservation to Bernard.

Passive voice active voice12/29/2023 ![]() The house was damaged by the storm. (To be + past participle + preposition).Mistakes were made during the presentation. (To be + past participle).All the Halloween candy was eaten by my sister. (To be + past participle + preposition).Let’s look at some examples to break down these elements. This sounds more complicated than it actually is. It’s sometimes followed by the preposition “by” to clarify who or what did the action. You form passive voice with a conjugated form of the verb “to be” plus a past participle. ![]() You can find the subject by asking who or what did the action. It’s the dog that’s doing the chasing, so our canine is the subject of the sentence. Subject receiving the action (passive voice): I was chased by the dog. Subject performing the action (active voice): The dog chased me. Here’s an example of this with the subject underlined: If the subject is receiving the action, the sentence is in passive voice. ![]() If the subject is performing the action, the sentence is in the active voice. The voice of a sentence describes whether the sentence’s subject is performing or receiving the verb’s action. Let’s get into how passive and active voice differs and when you should use which. Using passive and active voice appropriately makes you a better writer, which will improve your business communications and give your writing some pizazz. Today, we’re going over passive and active voice. Your teacher probably tried drilling the imperfect tense, subject pronouns, subjunctive mood, and more into your brain as you struggled to understand not only the grammar but use it in a different language. Chances are you got very cozy with grammar during your high school world language class.
