“…The perception of complexity is supported by evidence that students need to revisit philosophical conceptions, and this is a tricky business [4]. Thus, based on the reflection of Schweizer et al [18], if the subject is already complex, the combination of incorrect and inadequate representations potentiates the obstruction of learning. It is understood that training in RME is fundamental to the understanding of the sciences that constitute the different subjects of the courses of master's and doctoral programmes; however, mismatches are anticipated.…”

This study aims to contribute to understanding of the state of the art regarding the pedagogical cultures associated with teaching and learning research methods in advanced studies education through the identification of trends and pitfalls. The rationale behind this objective is the recognition that most of the research in education comes from academic programmes, in particular master’s and doctoral programmes, which generally include research methods as components. A systematic literature review was adopted as the research methodology, following the PRISMA model. Three stages of article selection were implemented, resulting in the selection of 68 studies out of an initial set of 3631 articles found in the main journal databases. Three specific dimensions were addressed: (i) methodological knowledge, (ii) research competencies, and (iii) pedagogical practices in teaching research methods in education programmes. The results illustrate the complexity of the subject. Learners are constantly reported to hold negative attitudes towards research methods courses, apparently due to instructors’ pedagogical difficulties, which translate into restricted understandings of methodological knowledge. Several misunderstandings between learners and teachers are identified which call for action towards the construction of a research-based scientific culture that will lead to inclusive pedagogical practices in which teachers and learners act as researchers.

“…Research competency is an ability acquired by a knowledge searching process that is based on a research process that aims to solve problems, develop work and adjust it. It has three components, research knowledge, psychological skills, and research skills (Rungtuengwanichkul, 2013;Schweizer, Steinwascher, Moosbrugger, & Reiss, 2011;Yamtim, 2016). Each component consists of research knowledgeunderstanding of research problems, literature review, conceptual framework, designing research, and research report writing; research skills -specifying problems, reviewing literature, determining conceptual framework, developing research and writing research report; and research mindresearch ethics, honesty, open mind, respect and research faith.…”

Natural rubber on the world market has had small increases in demand and big increases in supply. Therefore, demand and supply are imbalanced and this impacts the natural rubber price of the world market causing a decline. This study aimed: (1) to develop demand and supply models to predict the world natural rubber quantity using simultaneous equations; (2) to predict all explanatory variables in the demand and supply models using the simple moving average technique; and (3) to estimate the equilibrium quantity and price for world natural rubber during 2017e2026. First, in the demand model, there was a positive relationship of the explanatory variables of world natural rubber production quantity, synthetic rubber price, percentage year of year (%YOY) of gross domestic product (GDP), and the exchange rate, while the negative relationship variable was natural rubber price. In the supply model, the positive relationship variables were natural rubber price, mature area, rainfall, and crude oil price, while the negative relationship variables were world natural rubber stock and urea price. Second, the predicted variables indicated that production, %YOY of GDP, exchange rate, amount of stock, and the mature area tended to gradually increase, while the synthetic rubber price, urea price, rainfall, and crude oil price tended to slowly decrease from 2017 to 2026. Finally, the equilibrium quantity forecast tended to gradually increase from 953.75 to 957.15 thousand tonnes, and the equilibrium price tended to fluctuate and decrease from 169.78 to 162.05 thousand yen from 2017 to 2026. Consequently, this study may be helpful to the governments of the world's important natural rubber producing countries to plan policies to reduce natural rubber production costs and stabilize the natural rubber price in the future, such as by setting suitable areas of world natural rubber plantation in each country, and defining appropriate and sustainable alternative crop areas in each country.

“…Therefore, the primary task facing the educator, who considers it important to prepare a full-fledged specialist with a set of professional qualities necessary for the activity, focused, in addition to production efficiency, also on the desire for sustainable development, is the identification and elimination of gaps in the picture of the world formed by the student [15].…”

Long-term work on the educational program’s “Aquatic Bioresources and Aquaculture” implementation shows that for specialist’s training in the field of aquaculture and agriculture in general, systematic natural-science worldview formation is the basis for quality professional skills and knowledge acquisition. The natural-scientific picture of the world requires both basic scientific laws knowledge and mastery of the scientific knowledge methodology basics, the formed ability to be critical of generally accepted truths and information in mass communication and advertising. The written survey included first-year aquaculture majors (N0=30) and third-year students (N1=38). Fisher’s φ test and Student’s t-test (p ≤ 0.01) were used to statistically evaluate the results. The results showed no fundamental differences in the formation of representations in the natural science picture of the world among 1st and 3rd year students. The differences in the professional thinking formation among junior and senior students were significant. It can be concluded that the disciplines content used to form a picture of the world and ideas about the new systematic approach to the sustainable development problems needs to change, and promising will be further research for more perfect methods of professional thinking formation.
