Abstract

Background: In recent years, the need for 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity has become increasingly significant. Traditional education models often fall short in developing these competencies, making innovative teaching methods like Project-Based Learning (PBL) an important focus in modern educational research. PBL, with its emphasis on real-world problems and student-centered learning, has been seen as a promising approach to cultivate these essential skills. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the role of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in fostering the development of 21st-century skills among students. Method: A mixed-method approach was employed, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative data. Surveys and interviews were conducted with students and educators from various educational institutions that implemented PBL strategies in their curricula. The collected data were analyzed to identify the impacts of PBL on students’ skill development. Results: The findings revealed that PBL significantly contributes to the enhancement of key 21st-century skills. Students demonstrated improved problem-solving abilities, teamwork, communication, and creativity. Moreover, educators observed an increase in student engagement and motivation. Conclusion: Project-Based Learning is an effective pedagogical approach in fostering 21st-century skills. Its emphasis on real-world problem solving and collaborative work provides students with the necessary tools to thrive in an increasingly complex and dynamic world.

Abstract

Background: Public service quality is a crucial component of good governance, and the application of General Principles of Good Government (AUPB) plays a key role in ensuring effective public services. These principles, which include transparency, accountability, fairness, and efficiency, are essential for fostering trust between government institutions and citizens. However, there is a gap in understanding how effectively AUPB are implemented within public services and their impact on service delivery. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the General Principles of Good Government (AUPB) in public services. The research focuses on how these principles influence the efficiency, transparency, and quality of services provided by governmental institutions. Method: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative interviews with public sector employees and quantitative surveys with citizens receiving public services. Data were collected from various government agencies to assess the practical application of AUPB principles and their impact on service quality. Results: The findings suggest that while AUPB are widely recognized, their implementation varies across institutions. Public services that effectively apply these principles show higher satisfaction rates among citizens, with increased accountability and transparency. Conclusion: The study concludes that implementing AUPB significantly improves the quality and transparency of public services, but challenges remain in ensuring consistent application across all governmental sectors.

Abstract

Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of heatwaves, posing a significant threat to public health. Urban elderly populations are particularly vulnerable due to the urban heat island effect and age-related physiological sensitivities. Quantifying this risk with precision is essential for developing targeted public health interventions. This study aimed to quantify the association between exposure to extreme heat events, as measured by remote sensing data, and all-cause mortality among an elderly urban population. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using health data for 50,000 urban residents aged 65 and over from 2015-2022. Land Surface Temperature (LST) data derived from Landsat satellites were used to define heatwave exposure at a granular, neighborhood level. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between heatwave exposure and mortality, adjusting for confounding variables. A significant association was found between heatwave exposure and increased mortality risk. For each 1°C increase in LST during a heatwave, there was a 5.2% (95% CI: 4.5%-6.0%) increase in all-cause mortality. The risk was most pronounced in neighborhoods with lower green space coverage. Satellite-derived remote sensing data provide a powerful tool for assessing heatwave-related mortality risk in urban elderly populations. These findings underscore the urgent need for urban planning and public health strategies focused on heat mitigation to protect vulnerable residents.

Abstract

The metaverse, an immersive virtual environment that blends augmented and virtual reality, is rapidly gaining popularity as a space for social interaction and digital identity formation. As users engage in these virtual spaces, language plays a critical role in shaping interactions, constructing identities, and influencing perceptions of reality. This study explores how language is used in the metaverse to facilitate social interactions, contribute to the formation of virtual identities, and impact users’ construction of reality in these immersive environments. The primary objective of this research is to examine how language functions in the metaverse, focusing on the role of communication in virtual spaces for socializing, self-representation, and the construction of a shared virtual reality. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines qualitative interviews with metaverse users and quantitative analysis of language use in virtual environments. The results indicate that language in the metaverse plays a fundamental role in building social connections, creating and negotiating identities, and constructing a sense of reality in the virtual world. Users reported that the language used in the metaverse helps them define their virtual selves, interact with others, and navigate the complexities of the virtual space. This study concludes that language is not only a tool for communication but also a powerful medium for shaping both virtual identities and perceptions of reality in immersive environments.

Abstract

Background. Game-based learning (GBL) has become an innovative pedagogical approach, integrating gaming elements into educational contexts to enhance student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. In Brazil, the adoption of GBL in schools is growing, yet its impact on student learning, particularly in diverse educational settings, remains underexplored.Purpose. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of game-based learning approaches in Brazilian schools, focusing on their influence on student engagement, knowledge retention, and academic performance across various subjects.Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from pre- and post-assessments with qualitative insights from teacher interviews and student surveys. A sample of 400 students and 20 teachers from five Brazilian schools participated in the study, using educational games in classrooms for a period of three months.Result. The findings indicate that GBL significantly increased student engagement and motivation, with 78% of students reporting improved interest in the subjects taught through games. Additionally, students in the GBL group showed a 15% improvement in post-assessment scores compared to those taught using traditional methods. Teachers noted that GBL provided a more interactive and enjoyable learning experience, fostering better classroom participation.Conclus. Game-based learning can effectively enhance student engagement and academic performance in Brazilian schools. The findings suggest that integrating GBL into curricula could contribute to more dynamic and impactful learning environments.
