Enhancing Students’ Conceptual Understanding of Elemental Compounds through Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) Strategy

Knowledge of elemental compounds is a crucial aspect of the high school chemistry curriculum. However, students frequently encounter challenges when studying elemental compounds, including struggles with understanding chemical concepts, as well as a lack of interest in learning. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of the predict-observe-explain (POE) strategy on enhancing the conceptual understanding of high school students in relation to elemental compounds. The research employed a pre-test and post-test design with an experimental and a control group. A total of 60 students participated in the study, with the experimental and control groups being randomly assigned. The experimental group received instruction on elemental compounds using the POE strategy, while the control group received instruction using a traditional approach. The intervention period for the experimental group lasted 8 weeks, comprising a total of 12 lessons. Data collection involved a two-tier concept test and semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that students taught using the POE strategy achieved significantly higher scores compared to those taught using the traditional approach; Interviews with students in the experimental group revealed a highly positive attitude towards the POE strategy. Thus, the POE strategy is an effective approach that can be implemented in chemistry courses to enhance students’ understanding of elemental compounds concepts.

The Ideological and Political Construction of Financial Management Courses Based on the FT Course Construction Model

In today’s society, the development of the financial industry is becoming increasingly rapid, and education in the field of financial management is also receiving increasing attention. However, with the continuous changes in the financial market, the education of financial management majors also needs to be constantly updated and improved. At the same time, with the increasing demand of society for talent quality, the importance of ideological and political education in professional education has also become increasingly prominent. In recent years, the new FT curriculum construction model has entered the public’s perspective, not only as an educational concept, but also as an educational and learning method. Therefore, this article explores the ideological and political construction of financial management courses based on the FT course construction model.

Analysis and evaluation of thermal efficiency and environmental impact of the trough and tower solar thermal power generation

Two kinds of solar thermal power generation systems (trough and tower) are selected as the research objects. The life cycle assessment (LCA) method is used to make a systematic and comprehensive environmental impact assessment on the trough and tower solar thermal power generation. This paper mainly analyzes the three stages of materials, production and transportation of two kinds of solar thermal power generation, calculates the unit energy consumption and environmental impact of the three stages respectively, and compares the analysis results of the two systems. At the same time, Rankine cycle is used to compare the thermal efficiency of the two systems.

What are the effects of ICT diffusion on stock market in emerging countries?

Given the importance of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in stimulating stock market development, many researchers have investigated their influences on the developed markets and high-income economies. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of ICT diffusion on stock market development for a panel of 17 selected emerging countries over the period 1990–2020 and employed the system-generalized method of moments (S-GMM) to test its objective. Three stock market development indicators are also used, namely: stock market capitalization (SMC), stock market total value traded (SMTT), and stock market turnover (SMT). Three ICT indicators are also employed, namely: Fixed telephone subscriptions (FTS), Individuals using the Internet (IUI), and Mobile cellular subscriptions (MCS). Three financial development indicators (deposit money among bank assets (DMB), liquid liabilities (LLB), and private credit by deposit money bank (PCM)) were employed as control variables. In its findings, all selected ICT dynamics positively affect stock market development and its constituents. Secondly, no proof was confirmed in relation to the impact of fixed telephone and stock market development with its elements. Thirdly, evidence of a positive relationship is sparingly apparent in financial development and its components. Fourthly, compared with fixed telephone, internet users more positively and significantly affect stock market development indicators. Policy implications are discussed.
