PurposeThis study aims to provide an overview of the current socio-political geopark situation in Australia and set this into a global context. In addition, the authors consider this information to be useful for all stakeholders involved in geopark research and development. An analysis of constraints is set alongside stakeholder views collected from remote rural Western Australia. The authors also place Australia in a global context in regard to the future of geoparks.Design/methodology/approachVital contextual information regarding the tourism significance of geoparks is sourced from key literature. The authors analyse and report on the situation surrounding the current lack of enthusiasm for the geopark concept by the federal government and states in Australia. The authors also report positive rural community stakeholder views on geopark development from regional Western Australia.FindingsWhile Australian federal, as well as state governments have yet to accept geoparks, stakeholder research in Western Australia supports the idea of geopark development. Learnings articulated in this viewpoint are relevant to any country pursuing and initiating the geopark concept. The authors posit that global geopark development can become a vital strategy in post-COVID-19 tourism recovery planning.Originality/valueAustralia currently does not have a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)-recognised geopark. Accordingly, the authors present a case for geopark development, while at the same time exploring the socio-political reasons behind the lack of geopark implementation in Australia. The authors consider the future of geoparks in the global context and reiterate the point that geoparks are important for COVID-19 recovery of tourism and in regard to UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

Successful promotion of a reading culture in rural schools requires the participation of the rural community who need more education on the importance of a library and how it is a central asset that can empower them to be productive citizens of their country. In rural Zimbabwe, there are few libraries existing in schools, creating a situation which has impacted negatively on the literacy and reading levels of the poor marginalized rural children. This paper therefore explores the collaboration and partnership of a rural community, parents, schools, local traditional leaders and international trust organizations in promoting a reading culture in schools by encouraging the community to develop an interest in books as resources that can transform their livelihoods. The author on his first visit met with important stakeholders such as School Heads, School Development Committee who are the parents’ representatives, the District Education Inspector, local Chief and several Headmen, Village Councillor, local businesspeople and health workers. Five Schools which the author identified through Mavhurazi School Head’s assistance were targeted in order to elicit response on a culture of reading. The paper will offer recommendations on the best way forward regarding use of the books by rural learners of Mudzi district, and then concludes by examining best methods to adopt to promote reading and bring about better performance in schools by learners. The promotion of rural adult literacy is another issue to be examined by this paper as well as the need to support the Primary and Secondary School Ministry’s concerted efforts to bring on board the concept of adult literacy to the poor rural folks of Mudzi district in rural Zimbabwe.

Resumen:En los procesos de identificación de los alumnos más competentes el docente cumple un papel fundamental. Es por ello que estos procedimientos de detección deberán de partir de las experiencias desarrolladas en las propias aulas y en los que la formación docente se torna fundamental, más si cabe en el campo de aquellos alumnos con mayores potencialidades llamados a ser el referente de la evolución social. A lo largo de este artículo se señalan los resultados de una investigación desarrollada en la provincia de Albacete con 712 alumnos de 5º de Educación Primaria. A este grupo de alumnos se le ha administrado la Batería de Evaluación de la Competencia Matemática, BECOMA. Entre las variables de estudio analizadas tras la administración de este instrumento, se señalan los resultados de dos de ellas, interés y motivación de los alumnos hacia el aprendizaje de las Matemáticas según el punto de vista del maestro y posible existencia de una elevada aptitud matemática del alumno a juicio del tutor. Se observa que los alumnos son bien considerados por sus maestros según la primera variable y según la segunda los tutores se muestran bastante erráticos al diagnosticar dicotómicamente la capacidad matemática de los alumnos, resultando los resultados especialmente llamativos en el caso de los alumnos ubicados en los niveles de rendimiento superiores de la batería.Abstract:In the processes of the most competent students' identification the education alone completes a fundamental paper. It is for it that these detection procedures will leave of the experiences developed in the own classrooms and in those that the educational formation you fundamental restitution, more if it fits in the field of those students with bigger potentialities called to be the relating of the social evolution. Along this article the results of an investigation are pointed out developed in the county of Albacete with 712 students of 5º of Primary Education. To this group of students it has been administered the Battery of Evaluation of the Mathematical Competence, BECOMA. Among the study variables analyzed after the administration of this instrument, the results of two of them, interest and the students' motivation are pointed out toward the learning of the Mathematics according to the teacher's point of view and possible existence of a high mathematical aptitude from the student to the tutor's opinion. It is observed that the students are very considered by their teachers according to the first variable and according to second the tutors are shown quite erratic when diagnosing dicotomically the mathematical capacity of the students, being the specially attractive results in the case of the students located in the superior yield levels of the battery.

Nowadays Latvian rural schools function under the conditions of constantly changeable environment, where the process of self-development is observed. Due to the influence of economical, demographical and social crises the problem of the sustainability of a rural school as the educational environment has become urgent in Latvia. The sustainability of rural community and its cultural environment also considerably depends on the sustainability of a rural school. The educational environment of rural schools has been studied by the authors of this article for many years, providing the multi-dimensional point of view. The research results enable to draw a conclusion that very important changes have taken place in the educational environment of research base schools. In outcome rural school of general education becomes a multi-level, multi-component and multi-functional educational environment in the countryside of Latvia that strives by help of education to promote the development of the pupil as a personality as well as the development of the local rural community.

Left/right “fixed” responses to arrow targets are influenced by whether a masked arrow prime is congruent or incongruent with the required target response. Left/right “free-choice” responses on trials with ambiguous targets that are mixed among fixed trials are also influenced by masked arrow primes. We show that the magnitude of masked priming of both fixed and free-choice responses is greater when the proportion of fixed trials with congruent primes is .8 rather than .2. Unconscious manipulation of context can thus influence both fixed and free choices. Sequential trial analyses revealed that these effects of the overall prime context on fixed and free-choice priming can be modulated by the local context (i.e., the nature of the previous trial). Our results support accounts of masked priming that posit a memory-recruitment, activation, or decision process that is sensitive to aspects of both the local and global context.
