Poetry from Sushant Thapa

Young South Asian man with short dark hair and a light colored striped collared shirt.

Against all odds

Art is a muddy walk

It is a hit for the target.

It gets heavy

When no colors can

Show your plight

And make them beautiful.

A casual hello

Can make us remove

Thunder from the sky

And plant a rainbow seed.

I take up your time,

Like you know me.

Something waits like

Sadness in the forest

To clear its fog.

The trees bow down

In silence,

And the tombstones are too

Rigid.

A tear grows to smiling garlands,

When appreciation

Flows like river-wine.

Art stands against all odds.

Essay from Michael Robinson

Middle aged Black man facing the camera with his face resting on his hand
Michael Robinson

As I grew up in my relationship with God, I’ve found that my awareness of Jesus was growing.I’m working on writing an essay of Jesus on the Cross.

It’s the place of the Skull. As we think of Salvation and Redemption, I think about Jesus and his healing ministry. We should remember that Jesus’ life was a life of healing for those who were ill.

Seeking more than Redemption, it’s seeking healing of the soul. Redemption adds to our wholesomeness of salvation. However, our walk with Jesus as we carry our Cross in our daily walk with getting to know the fullness of salvation is to know God’s purpose for our entenal soul.

Our walk is not only to know Jesus, but to understand his Crucifixion and his total obedience to the Holy Father. There’s no true life without knowing that obedience to follow in Christ steps to know the Holy Father and to live in the spiritual path provided for our sins and Resurrection.

PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES IN CHILDREN’S EDUCATION

Scientific article 

Author: Aytuvova Xurshida 

Emile: ( aytuvovaxurshida@gmail.comAnnotation This article analyzes the importance of psychological approaches in children’s education, their types and impact on the educational process. Through humanistic, cognitive and socio-educational approaches, the child’s development as a person, learning motivation, emotional state and individual approaches are considered as important factors. This article provides practical recommendations for teachers, psychologists and specialists in the field of education. Keywords child psychology, educational process, humanistic approach, motivation, emotional development, cognitive development, individual approach, pedagogical psychology Introduction In the modern educational process, an approach taking into account the psychological state of the child has become an integral part of pedagogical activity. In contrast to traditional approaches, today there is an increasing need to take into account individual, personal and socio-emotional factors in the educational process. The development of a child as a person, his success in the educational process, social adaptation and self-confidence are largely closely related to psychological factors. 

Main part

1. Types of psychological approaches There are several main approaches in pedagogical psychology:

Humanistic approach: This approach puts the child at the center. Famous psychologists A. Maslow and K. Rogers emphasize the importance of giving the child trust, respect, and freedom for personal growth in their humanistic theories. – Cognitive approach: This method is aimed at developing children’s mental processes such as thinking, memory, and attention. J. Piaget’s theory of intellectual development is an example of this. – Socio-educational approach: This theory, put forward by A. Bandura, shows that children can learn by observing the behavior of others. This indicates the need for education through a positive example from teachers and parents.

2. Taking into account the psychological characteristics of the child The psychological development of a child varies at each age. Children aged 6–10 are more prone to figurative thinking and prefer to learn based on real situations. Also, self-assessment, socialization, and motivational factors are of great importance during this period. 

3. 3. The influence of motivation and emotional state Motivation is one of the main factors that shape a child’s internal desire to learn. In an educational environment with a favorable psychological climate, children develop more actively, freely express their thoughts, and are creative. A kind, patient, and understanding teacher increases a child’s interest in learning. 4. Individual approach and differentiated education Each child has his or her own psychological and mental potential. A differentiated approach, that is, an approach based on the level of abilities of each student, increases the quality of education. In this process, diagnostic methods (psychological tests, interviews, observations) are used.

Conclusion

The effective use of psychological approaches in education not only increases children’s academic achievement, but also helps them develop personally, gain self-confidence, and find their place in society. A teacher should not only be a provider of knowledge, but also an understanding and guide for the child. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the cooperation of a teacher and a psychologist in the modern education system.

Poetry from J.J. Campbell

Middle aged white man with a beard standing in a bedroom with posters on the walls
J.J. Campbell

—————————————————–

trapped in the neon

one of those summer

nights where those

lovely eyes trapped

in the neon won’t

leave your mind

the kind of nights

where a carton of

cigarettes and a

bottle of jack

wouldn’t last

until dawn

loneliness aches like

no other pain as you

approach fifty

the friends have

wives and kids

you have a closet

full of baseball cards

and notes from high

school of what could

have been

echoes of laughter

will take you to hell

before any sleep

can be had

only the sick enjoy

the sickness

a drop of sweat

on a typewriter

years of pain

just like all

the other fools

———————————————-

from the grocery store

there is a sign

on the side of

the road that i

see when i drive

home from the

grocery store

it says drive like

your kids live

around here

when i see that

sign, i hit the gas

all my kids were

aborted

if they are still

around here

someone has

some fucking

explaining to

do

————————————————

booty shorts

the ugliest people

wear the skimpiest

clothes

first day of the heat

and a fat woman has

on booty shorts where

there is no booty

and then of course

i remind myself

the beautiful people

live south of here

the dregs of society

are still up here

present company

included

————————————————–

gave up on me

went to sleep right

as i heard the news

that the pope had

died

i had a dream the

catholic church

couldn’t find a

new one as all

the pedophiles

knew they couldn’t

take the job

i gave up on religion

right about the time

god gave up on me

more than one christian

has asked me to pinpoint

the moment and i always

say probably when one

too many of you decided

being molested was all

part of god’s plan for me

that hard liners know

they never can change

my mind

the thinkers know there

are much easier things

to think about

—————————————————-

an old man approaching death

i believe my left hip is

nothing but arthritis now

i walk with a limp

not the fucking cool

kind but an old man

approaching death

the spanish princess

offered to take a bath

with me

if either of us could

survive the thousands

of miles between us

it would be worth

every cent and ounce

of pain

these are the nights

i finish a bottle or two

and hope it kills the pain

for a few hours of sleep

yet another day of pop

up thunderstorms and

unrelenting heat

and here i thought

the glory years would

have a better feel to

them

instead, i can’t help

but think of my father

and how that sad sack

of shit was always right

Poetry from Alan Catlin

Dusking

The end of

each day

reveals

a new kind

of nightmare

since the sky

became a menace

of birds

Their horrible

voices echo

in our ears

long after

the receding,

obscene coloration

of sky

had faded

from our sight

like bruises

lifted from our

skin and transferred

what lies overhead

Wherever we go

now there will

be no respite

Our eyes deceive us

Blood from severed

tree limbs stains

the mottled bark

puddling amid

the dead fall

branches, needles

and leaves

The small fires

that burn

the night smell

like dead wood,

burning flesh

We see the unnatural

colors of the flames

the wonders of

smoke that has

no apparent source

Listen to my heart beat

While we were

sleeping some

ear candling

was undertaken

without our permission

Remnants of wax

cling to our

cheeks and are

stiff on the ground

near where we

were resting

Each clot of

black wax

residue

exudes a pulsing

light that mimes

our heart beat

and the insistent

ringing in our ears

that leaves messages

in our brain

we have not been

able to decode

Hollow Mazes

As the marked

paths through

the Hollows

now end in

deer blinds

and cul de sac

we are perpetually

confused by

the simplest turning

in the woods

Low lying fog

and swamp gases

no longer

burn off or are

carried away

by offshore

breezes

Each maze

we enter

feels more

threatening

than the last

Ahead is almost

the same as where

we once were

Where we are now

is nowhere

A sleep wander

Almost by accident

we tumble

upon an open

field were dreams

go to die

At first

we thought all

the tiny crosses

were memorials

to pets who

were brought here

to be interred

Only later,

when we found

the polished skulls

of human creatures

too anomalous

to survive,

did we understand

the pet graveyard

was elsewhere

near where

the poison plants

were grown,

nurtured by

a septic water

Essay from Oyatillo Jabboraliev

Why Are Study Abroad Semesters Valuable for Students?

Meaning of These Programs – What Are They?

A study abroad semester is a life-changing experience – but how exactly?

Costs, Challenges, and Requirements

Nowadays, there are many foreign citizens in my country. Are they just tourists? Not quite. Today we see young people coming from abroad to various parts of our country. The reason is the global student exchange program. This program has a long history and began to develop in the 20th century. It was created to promote cultural and scientific cooperation between countries. A student exchange program allows students to temporarily study at a different university abroad. Through it, students gain knowledge and experience.

Historically, the United States was one of the first countries where such programs became popular, beginning with the Fulbright Program. One of the most well-known is the ERASMUS program – the oldest student exchange program in Europe, launched in 1987. Germany later developed its own version, with the DAAD program starting in 1925. These programs are highly popular among young people.

Experiences of Students:

Many students report positive experiences with exchange programs. Jabboraliev O., who studies at Kuala Lumpur University in Malaysia, said: “I expanded my professional experience through the exchange program. That’s why I’ve worked in many areas of my field.” This shows that exchange programs offer career benefits too.

Dilafruz, a student who studied in Japan, said: “My verbal communication improved significantly.” In particular, her ability to express herself in Japanese grew. This proves students can also benefit linguistically from exchange programs.

Advantages of Student Exchange Programs:

Exchange programs offer many benefits. Students gain new knowledge and boost their academic progress. But that’s not all. Studying abroad helps develop important personal skills, such as:

– Intercultural Competence: Students learn to understand and respect cultural differences by engaging directly with people from diverse backgrounds.

– Independence: Living in a foreign country forces students to organize daily life independently – from housing to daily routines.

– Language Skills: Constant exposure to a foreign language helps students improve their language proficiency.

– Better Career Opportunities: Employers value international experience, which signals flexibility and adaptability.

Challenges:

Of course, there are also difficulties. Many students face the following challenges when moving abroad:

– Financial Issues: Living abroad can be expensive. Students often need scholarships or part-time jobs.

– Different Education Systems: Learning methods may differ from those in the home country, requiring students to adapt.

– Cultural Differences: Adapting to new customs and traditions can be tough in a foreign country.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, student exchange programs are an excellent opportunity for young people to gain international experience, explore other cultures, and improve both academically and professionally. They help students adjust to new environments and foster mutual understanding between cultures.

During the program, students learn how to navigate life in a foreign country, speak new languages, and enhance communication skills. These experiences are valuable in today’s world and can improve future career prospects. Additionally, students form international connections that may benefit them later.

Despite the challenges, such as financial burdens, housing issues, or differences in education systems, these very obstacles help students become more independent and adaptable.

Overall, exchange programs are a key component of global education. They not only help young people expand their knowledge but also support personal growth. International exchange strengthens relationships between countries and universities. Therefore, such programs should continue to be supported so more students can benefit.
