strategic adaptation

Geometry problem-solving requires learners to coordinate conceptual knowledge, spatial representation, strategy use and the regulation of cognition, motivation and effort. This systematic review examined how self-regulated learning (SRL) operates in geometry problem-solving and which learner, task, social, instructional and developmental conditions shape it. A Scopus search reported according to PRISMA 2020 identified 1,298 records; database limits left 529, and eligibility screening retained 32 empirical studies published from 2021 to 2026. Twelve studies involved undergraduates or pre-service teachers, seven involved school pupils, one involved kindergarten children and 12 did not state the educational level in the extracted records. Study quality was appraised with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, and thematic synthesis identified four themes: planning and strategic regulation; monitoring, control and strategy adaptation; learner characteristics and outcomes; and instructional scaffolding and technology. Successful performance was associated with problem representation, strategy selection, monitoring, error detection, adaptation and evaluation. Diagnostic and elaborated feedback, content-focused peer feedback and supportive scaffolding were more informative than the presence of technology. Evidence on learner characteristics was mainly correlational, and evidence on young learners was thin. The review proposes a Process-Oriented Framework of Self-Regulated Geometry Problem-Solving that links input conditions, forethought, performance regulation, reflection, and outcomes and it is best supported for adolescent and adult learners. Future research should combine self-report with behavioural, longitudinal and process-tracing evidence and develop age-appropriate SRL measures for young children.

Background Concerns about teacher stress, burnout, and attrition have led to increased international attention to teacher resilience in education research. This study investigates how teachers in Malaysia, Japan, Nigeria, Uganda, and Vietnam support resilience through their perceptions of teacher professional identity (TPI). Methods Comparative discourse analysis based on quantitative ethnography (QE) and epistemic network analysis (ENA) was used to identify cross-cultural discourse patterns and thematically evaluate teacher utterances related to stress, coping methods, support systems, and notions of resilience. Results The findings demonstrate that resilience is not only developed as an individual skill, but also through culturally and socially rooted understandings of TPI. Teachers from Japan and Vietnam focused on systemic navigation and emotional regulation, while teachers from Nigeria and Uganda focused on spirituality and moral leadership. Malaysian instructors have a mixed approach that blends strategic adaptation and community-centric principles. Conclusions The study highlights the need for contextually relevant and localized methods of professional development that are sensitive to teachers’ identities and contextual realities.

زمینه و هدف: نگرانی‌ها درباره استرس، فرسودگی شغلی و ترک خدمت معلمان موجب افزایش توجه بین‌المللی به تاب‌آوری معلمان در پژوهش‌های آموزشی شده است. این مطالعه بررسی می‌کند که چگونه معلمان در مالزی، ژاپن، نیجریه، اوگاندا و ویتنام از طریق ادراکات خود از هویت حرفه‌ای معلم (TPI) به حمایت از تاب‌آوری می‌پردازند. روش‌ها: تحلیل گفتمان تطبیقی مبتنی بر قوم‌نگاری کمی (QE) و تحلیل شبکه معرفتی (ENA) برای شناسایی الگوهای گفتمانی میان‌فرهنگی و ارزیابی موضوعی اظهارات معلمان مرتبط با استرس، روش‌های مقابله، نظام‌های حمایتی و مفاهیم تاب‌آوری به کار گرفته شد. یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان می‌دهد که تاب‌آوری نه تنها به عنوان یک مهارت فردی توسعه می‌یابد، بلکه از طریق درک‌های ریشه‌دار فرهنگی و اجتماعی از هویت حرفه‌ای معلم نیز شکل می‌گیرد. معلمان ژاپن و ویتنام بر پیمایش نظام‌مند و تنظیم هیجانی تمرکز داشتند، در حالی که معلمان نیجریه و اوگاندا بر معنویت و رهبری اخلاقی تأکید کردند. مدرسان مالزی رویکردی ترکیبی دارند که سازگاری راهبردی و اصول جامعه‌محور را در هم می‌آمیزد. نتیجه‌گیری: این مطالعه بر ضرورت روش‌های توسعه حرفه‌ای بومی و متناسب با زمینه که نسبت به هویت و واقعیت‌های زمینه‌ای معلمان حساس باشد، تأکید می‌کند.
