The Role Financial Literacy and Financial Planning to Increase Financial Resilience: Household Behaviour as Mediating Variable

<p>This study aims to examine the effect of spatial literacy and financial planning by using household behavior as a mediator. The testing uses a mediation process using Smart PLS 3.0. Respondents were collected using an online survey using a simple random sampling technique. The number of respondents used in this study was 102 respondents. Based on the results of data processing, financial literacy on financial resilience is not supported. Meanwhile, the effect of financial literacy on financial resilience by mediating household behavior is accepted. The hypothesis of financial planning on financial resilience is not supported. However, the effect of financial planning on financial resilience with household behavior as mediation is supported. This research provides theoretical and practical contributions which will also be discussed further in this paper.</p>

Exploring and illustrating the mouse embryo: virtual objects to think and create with

The teaching, learning, communication, and practice of Developmental Biology require interested parties to be at ease with the considerable spatial complexity of the embryo, and with its evolution over time as it undergoes morphogenesis. In practice, the four dimensionality of embryonic development (space and time) calls upon strong visual-spatial literacy and mental manipulation skills, generally expected to be innate or to come through experience. Yet it has been argued that Developmental Biology suffers the most from available traditional media of communication and representation. To date, few resources exist to engage with the embryo in its 3D and 4D aspects, to communicate such aspects in one’s work, and to facilitate their exploration in the absence of live observations. I here provide a collection of readily-usable volumetric models for all tissues and stages of mouse peri-implantation development as extracted from the eMouse Atlas Project (E5.0 to E9.0), as well as custom-made models of all pre-implantation stages (E0 to E4.0). These models have been converted to a commonly used 3D format (.stl), and are provided in ready-made files for digital exploration and illustration. Further provided is a step-by-step walkthrough on how to practically use these models for exploration and illustration using the free and open source 3D creation suite Blender. I finally outline possible further uses of these very models in outreach initiatives of varying levels, virtual and augmented reality applications, and 3D printing.

Scaffolding spatial literacy: Palestinian-Israeli mothers teach their children to read social relations in Israeli society/spaces

This article looks at how Palestinian-Israeli middle-class mothers, who enjoy the advantages of the middle class yet belong to a geographically and socially marginalized minority, educate their children in and about socio-spatial reality. The study brings the field of geographies of parenting into dialogue with relevant insights from literacy studies. Building on the concept of spatial literacy developed through previous ethnographic research with Palestinian-Israeli women university-students, we analyze recent interviews on mothering and education carried out with the same population more than a decade later. Borrowing Vygotsky’s concept of scaffolding, findings reveal three major ‘scaffolding strategies’ used by the women to teach their children to read social relations in Israeli society: shaping the learning environment, directing spatial proficiency and supporting spatial proficiency. Throughout, we juxtapose the women’s elaboration of spatial literacy as students and of scaffolding strategies as mothers. The study contributes to geographies of parenting by elucidating how parent-child interactions may serve as a context for learning about space and social relations.

PENGARUH MODEL INKUIRI BERBANTUAN ALAT PERAGA EDUKATIF TERHADAP LITERASI SPASIAL

Spatial literacy is related to the ability to use mathematics related to geometry. Prospective elementary school teachers need to master spatial literacy. However, the spatial literacy of PGSD students is still unsatisfactory. One of the lecturers' efforts to improve the quality of learning. An inquiry-assisted inquiry model of educational props can be an alternative. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the inquiry model assisted by educational teaching aids influences spatial literacy. This research is a quasi-experimental study with the population of semester I PGSD students in 2019/2020. Through purposive sampling, researchers chose class D as the experimental class and class F as the control class. Data obtained through the test method. Data analysis uses a mean different test. The results showed that there was an influence of the inquiry model assisted by educational teaching aids on spatial literacy.

2D and 3D Geovisualization: learning user preferences in landslide vulnerability

Landslides often cause impacts on the environment, infrastructure, and society. The impacts of landslides can be minimized by creating disaster awareness. Landslide vulnerability mapping can be used as a dissemination media to increase disaster awareness. The mapping methods that can be used are 2D and 3D geovisualization. There is very few research in current literature explaining the user preferences on geovisualization 2D and 3D related to landslide vulnerability. In this paper, the user preferences of both 2D and 3D geovisualization will be evaluated. This study will focus to find out which geovisualization suits most users and their literacy spatial among those provided geovisualizations. From our results, 90% of users prefer 3D geovisualization over 2D. Furthermore, our analysis shows that 2D geovisualization has the advantage of being easily understood by users in all ages. Meanwhile, 3D geovisualization is better at increasing users' spatial literacy at all ages and levels of education in knowing the causes of landslide vulnerability. Appropriate geovisualization will provide information and knowledge that is useful for communities in regards of landslide vulnerability for better disaster awareness
