The Influence of Virtual Reality Technology on the Cultivation of Agricultural Students

Virtual reality learning environment is a virtual learning environment created by the use of virtual reality technology, which expands the physical learning environment and provides learners with richer learning experience and learning resources. It has the characteristics of immersion, interaction, and imagination. From these three characteristics, this paper studies the virtual reality learning environment to promote the deeper learning of agricultural students, immersion teaching provides experience support for agricultural students' deeper learning, interaction provides emotional support for agricultural students' deeper learning, and imagination provides situational support for agricultural students' deeper learning. The virtual reality technology is helpful to the cultivation of higher-order thinking of agricultural talents. It is expected to provide a reference for the future exploration of virtual reality technology to the cultivation of agricultural talents.

Holizm pedagogiczny i praktyki edukacyjne

The subject of analysis in the article is the phenomenon of pedagogical holism, which is considered as a necessary condition for the organization and implementation of the pedagogical position. At the same time, orientation at pedagogical training towards one or another hypostatic integrity is considered as a condition limiting the creativity of students in the analysis and creation of qualitatively different forms of pedagogical thinking and activity. The creative position of future teachers is interpreted as one of the mechanisms ensuring overcoming the uniformity of the current education. Hypostasized forms of pedagogical holism are opposed by the discursive holism, which is associated with the refusal of pedagogical training from extra-situational support in the organization of pedagogical knowledge, the establishment of presentism ideology and the pedagogical relativism in educational practices. The operational unit of these practices is an utterance created in the acts of educational interaction. At the same time, the pedagogical utterance loses its dominant position associated with the status of the owner of the integrity of development and becomes one of the judgments in the multifaceted educational polylogue, existing as the integrity that arises in the actual educational interactions it produces.

Comparing global and situational support for police use of force across immigrant generations and native-born Americans

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine if global and situational support for police use of force vary across first-generation immigrants, second-generation immigrants and native-born Americans. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on data from the 2012 General Social Survey, multivariate logistic regression models are performed to predict each of the three binary outcome variables (e.g. support for police use of reasonable force or excessive force) depending on immigrant generation status. Findings Results indicate that, compared with native-born individuals, first-generation immigrants express less global support for police use of force and less support for police use of reasonable force. In contrast, the first-generation group is more supportive of police use of excessive force compared to the second-generation group and native-born group. Originality/value Much research on immigrants’ perceptions of the police has yielded conflicting findings. Part of the reason has been attributed to failure to distinguish first-generation immigrants from successive generations of immigrants. The present study fills a gap in this line of research by assessing the extent to which there is a disparity in support for police use of force between different generations of immigrants and native-born individuals.
