“…Figure 10. Hierarkhi need Maslow (Mcleod, 2018) The hierarchy in Figure 10 is viewed from the context of OECD economic classification Table, and the figure above shows that if a country is still struggling with its basic needs, it may lead to self-actualization which is even harder to surpass. The instinctual need, according to (Gautam, 2019) is the instinctual need of humans to make the most of their abilities and to strive to be the best they can.…”

This paper explores the perceptions of a sample of teachers as far as the teaching of experiential, participatory educational techniques to foreign pupils is concerned. The sample of the survey consisted of 50 teachers of primary schools throughout Greece while the data were collected through a questionnaire. Based on the findings gathered, conclusions are drawn on the cognitive and empirical background of the sample, on the use of techniques, as well as its perceptions on their effectiveness, the difficulties of their application and their training in them. In particular, the survey results show that almost all teachers had formed a good cognitive background about these techniques, but there is a need for further training and modernization of their knowledge on teaching. Finally, further discussion on the issues can be accomplished under study.In the present study, fifty (50) teachers working in the Primary Schools participated. Most participants were women aged between 25 and 35, having a service of more than 10 years and a postgraduate diploma. Data collectionIn the present study, a structured questionnaire of 34 questions was used. This questionnaire consists of thirtyfour questions, including questions about events (Vamboukas, 1998). Ten of them correspond to demographic data (sex, age, marital status, years of teaching experience, workplace, type of public school, postgraduate or other studies) and the rest refer to four factors: the cognitive and empirical background of respondents about specific experiential, participatory educational techniques, the effectiveness of teaching these techniques, the causes of the difficulties in their application and the teachers' training in specific techniques. Given that this is a sample survey based on a standard questionnaire characterized by stability and coherence, it has given the prospect of reaching a part of the population in order to test the theoretical data. Consequently, the results derived from a sufficient number of teachers, and for this reason, the cases have been theoretically formulated and subjected to rigorous and valid control.In order to formulate the content of the questions, the contribution of relevant references on experiential, participatory educational techniques, and experiential learning was important. In addition, the prevailing conditions in the Hosting Classes were taken into account in accordance with the official educational policy texts, which in the current period support refugees in many regions. Finally, the official educational material available to teachers is a factor that has been taken into account when formulating the content of the questions. Limitations of the researchThis research is limited by specific elements based on the research purpose, formulation, and control of research questions, as well as the sample of participants/teachers. These methodological constraints and delimitations are identified in the following key points:• The cognitive background and the perceptions of the participating teachers on specific experie...

Introduction:In this paper author discussed about preparing and submitting manuscripts - scientific, research, professional papers, reviews and case reports. Author described it from the Editor’s perspective, and specially talked about ethical aspects of authorship, conflict of interest, copyright, plagiarism and duplicate publication from the point of view of his experiences as Editor-in-Chief of several biomedical journals and Chief of Task Force of European Federation of Medical Informatics journals and member of Task Force of European Cardiology Society journals. The scientific process relies on trust and credibility. The scientific community demands high ethical standards to conduct biomedical research and to publish scientific contents. During the last decade, disclosure of conflicts of interest (COI ), (also called competing loyalties, competing interests or dual commitments), has been considered as a key element to guarantee the credibility of the scientific process. Biases in design, analysis and interpretation of studies may arise when authors or sponsors have vested interests. Therefore, COI should be made clear to the readers to facilitate their own judgment and interpretation of their relevance and potential implications.Results and Discussion:Authors are responsible to fully disclose potential COI . In October 2009 the ICMJE proposed an electronic “uniform” format for COI disclosure. Four main areas were addressed: authors´ associations with entities that supported the submitted manuscript (indefinite time frame), associations with commercial entities with potential interest in the general area of the manuscript (time frame 36 months), financial association of their spouse and children and, finally, non-financial associations potentially relevant to the submitted manuscript. Consumers of medical scholarship expect a reliable system of disclosure in which journals and authors make disclosures appropriately and consistently. There is a stigma surrounding the reporting of COI that should be progressively overcome. Further actions are required to increase awareness of the importance of COI disclosure and to promote policies aimed to enhance transparency in biomedical research. In this article author discuss about important ethical dilemmas in preparing, writing and publishing of scientific manuscripts in biomedical journals.
