Family co-responsibility links family involvement with students' socioemotional needs and with the actions carried out by the school. This study aimed to understand, from the perspective of education professionals, family co-responsibility for the socioemotional support of basic education students in public schools. A qualitative study with a descriptive design and an interpretive orientation was conducted. Data were collected through an asynchronous, self-administered open-ended questionnaire completed by three professionals with different profiles and were examined through qualitative content analysis and source triangulation. The results show heterogeneous family involvement and support practices that combine educational monitoring with emotional support. Participants distinguished between having communication channels available and sustaining ongoing coordination with families. The barriers identified were mainly located in family and socioeconomic conditions, and no barriers were explicitly attributed to the school. Family-school collaboration was recognized as relevant to addressing socioemotional needs. Based on the professionals' perceptions, the study concludes that family support integrates educational and socioemotional dimensions and gains meaning through its connection with the school, within a co-responsibility in which both settings play distinct and complementary roles.
Identifying the most effective teaching strategies for physics instruction is a persistent challenge for both researchers and schoolteachers. Studies indicate that the answer lies in Research-Based Instructional Strategies. A significant contribution in this area has been made by the theory of Visible Teaching and Learning, which measures the effects of over 250 factors influencing students’ academic success. By knowing the possible impact of specific teaching strategies, educators can design instructional approaches with predictable outcomes. The research was conducted during the 2023-2024 academic year in two public schools in Moldova, involving 305 students across grades 6, 8, and 10. This study aimed to measure the effect of concurrently applying elements from multiple constructivist teaching strategies in physics lessons, including the Flipped Classroom, Early Physics Approach, 5E Model, and Peer Instruction with Conceptual Questions, on students’ academic success and science competence in physics. At its core, the study was based on the 5E model, reinforced with pre-class tasks for students and the use of conceptual questions during the lesson. Science competence of students was structured into five components: understanding definitions, knowledge of measurement units, correct application of formulas, problem-solving skills, and the use of scientific language. The progression of these components was subsequently measured. The study also tracked the individual academic trajectories of both high-performing and low-performing students to assess their progress in physics. The study revealed that the combined application of these constructivist strategies can double students’ ability to solve problem situations and triple the correct use of scientific language. In contrast, knowledge of measurement units (~80%) and the correct application of formulas (in the range of approx. 25% – 33%) remained relatively unchanged. The insignificant progress in the correct application of formulas is explained by the small number of problems analysed on a topic, the lack of individual tasks, and the need for more explicit scaffolding and individual feedback. Additionally, the study revealed that laboratory work marks are strong predictors of overall academic success, with the correlation between laboratory work and final evaluation being 60% in 6th grade, 70% in 8th grade, and 50% in 10th grade. Additionally, the research shows that in middle school, the increase in scores for high achievers is greater than that of low achievers – three times higher in 6th grade. In high school, the increase in scores for high achievers is twice as large as that of low achievers. Both groups, high and low achievers, improve their scores after the application of the Integrated Constructivist Model. Subsequent research would explore the synergistic effect of this, and other, combinations of constructivist teaching strategies on students’ academic success, scientific competence components, and conceptual understanding. Keywords: Integrated constructivist model, didactic synergy, science competence, academic success, physics teaching.
This study aims to examine the impact of parental involvement and socioeconomic status (SES) on academic achievement at public senior high schools in Tangerang Municipality. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. The study population consisted of students from public senior high schools in Tangerang Municipality. We applied Weighted Regression analysis utilizing a sample size of 893 participants. We used a validated questionnaire that was distributed via WhatsApp groups. The findings showed that parents with high SES tended to be more involved in their children's learning; however, high parental SES did not guarantee high academic achievement for their children. The mean difference tests revealed that academic achievement did not differ significantly by parental involvement, whereas it did differ significantly by parental SES. Researchers also found that parents’ involvement in education significantly boosted students' academic achievement. In contrast, parents' SES did not have a significant impact. Intensive discussions, good communication, full attention, giving gifts, and providing learning facilities are effective parental involvement actions that encourage increases in children's academic achievement. Parental involvement matters more than parental SES in improving students’ academic achievement. Therefore, maintaining strong relationships between schools and parents is essential to support students’ educational outcomes. Local governments need to strengthen regulations governing parents' roles at home and at school. Keywords: academic achievement, parental involvement, SES.
While research into inclusivity and dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental condition affecting language learning, has gained greater attention, multilevel stakeholders’ perspectives across both public schools and teacher education programs remain underexplored. Addressing this gap, this study adapts the broader UNESCO Policy Review Framework as a lens for investigating dyslexia-friendly inclusive practices among ELT stakeholders, including in-service teachers, school administrators, teacher educators, and university administrators in the Riau Islands, Indonesia. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, this study gathered data through questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Subsequently, data were analyzed via descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results revealed limited awareness of dyslexia and inclusive education, alongside misconceptions and reliance on special schools. Although inclusive practices were evident (mainly differentiated instruction), specific support for students with dyslexia remained unaddressed. Despite inclusion being viewed positively and mandated within the education system, its implementation remained weak. The study offers implications for systemic reform, suggesting that ELT stakeholders enhance their inclusive practices through training and developing inclusive institutional management. Additionally, teacher education institutions should pursue curricular adjustments to incorporate dyslexia-friendly inclusive practices.
This study examined teachers’ readiness and perceived effectiveness in implementing Makabansa and Araling Panlipunan under the revised K to 10 (MATATAG) Framework across 33 public schools in the Schools Division of Parañaque City during School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it sought to determine whether teacher readiness significantly predicted perceived effectiveness and to identify which readiness domains most strongly influenced outcomes. Employing a quantitative-correlational design, the study utilized stratified random sampling to ensure proportional representation across grade levels and supervisory contexts. The study involved 271 public school respondents, composed of 227 teachers handling learners in Key Stages 1–3 and 44 immediate coordinators, namely head teachers and master teachers. Data were collected through validated researcher-made survey instruments measuring readiness and perceived effectiveness and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression techniques. Findings revealed that both teachers and coordinators demonstrated very high levels of readiness and effectiveness. Correlation analysis confirmed a significant positive relationship between readiness and effectiveness, while regression analysis demonstrated that readiness significantly predicted effectiveness. Teacher readiness explained 22.4% of the variance in perceived effectiveness (R² = .224, β = .473, p < .001), while coordinator readiness explained 53.9% (R² = .539, β = .734, p < .001). As a practical output, the study developed a Teacher Readiness Toolkit for Makabansa and Araling Panlipunan.
Curriculum reform depends on how school leaders support its everyday implementation. This study examined the relationship between curriculum leadership practices and perceived curriculum implementation effectiveness among public school heads in Albay, Ligao City, and Iriga City, Philippines. Guided by Hallinger and Murphy’s instructional leadership model, a cross-sectional descriptive-correlational design was used. Fifty school heads voluntarily completed a questionnaire containing 60 items across six subscales. Analyses included descriptive statistics, internal consistency estimates, Pearson correlation, and simultaneous multiple regression, supplemented by rank-based correlation, robust standard errors, and influential-case checks. Respondents reported very high leadership practices (M = 4.702, SD = 0.375) and implementation effectiveness (M = 4.678, SD = 0.359). However, 71.2% of item responses received the highest rating, indicating a ceiling effect. Overall leadership and implementation scores were strongly associated (r = .804, p < .001). The regression model explained 66.8% of the observed variance. Positive learning climate was the only dimension with a significant unique association (B = 0.535, β = .595, p = .002), a finding retained in sensitivity analyses. Mission definition and instructional management did not contribute significant additional variance after their overlap with learning climate was considered. Findings suggest that collaboration, recognition, inclusion, and professional learning deserve attention in curriculum support. Nevertheless, the voluntary sample, common source of measurement, unverified content validity, and overlapping predictors limit interpretation. The results describe perceptions rather than independently demonstrated effectiveness and cannot establish causation. Larger studies using validated instruments, teacher reports, observations, and documentary evidence are needed to test these relationships.
Access to functional digital infrastructure is a prerequisite for teachers to convert information and communication Technology (ICT) competence into classroom practice, yet the quality and distribution of infrastructure remain uneven in many developing education systems. This paper examined the effect of the status of institutional ICT infrastructure and digital tools on teacher use of digital technologies in public junior schools (JS) in Kakamega County, Kenya. Relying on the Theory of Organizational Information Processing, the study used a convergent parallel mixed-methods design involving 332 responding JSS teachers, 11 Sub-County Directors of Education and observations from 78 schools. Factor analysis of 12 infrastructure indicators produced a factor-based index of 3.500, interpreted as good, although important differences were evident across infrastructure components. Electricity, computer rooms, broadband connectivity, and technical support were relatively strong, whereas specialized digital tools, suitable educational software and security mechanisms were weaker. Teachers most frequently identified inadequate computers/devices (26.8%) and unstable or absent internet connectivity (22.9%) as the leading infrastructure challenges. Pearson correlation showed a significant positive moderate relationship between infrastructure status and technology use (r = .417, p < .001). In Model 1, infrastructure significantly predicted technology use (B = .525, β approximately .417, p < .001; R² = .174). After adjustment for gender, age, education, teaching experience, subject and JSS enrolment, the detailed regression table reported B = .579, β = .465, t = 7.94, p < .001, R² = .473 and adjusted R² = .451. The null hypothesis was rejected. The paper concludes that functional infrastructure and appropriate digital tools are essential enabling conditions, but infrastructure development should address advanced tools, software, connectivity, maintenance and security rather than focusing only on basic provision. This study also recommends that the infrastructure budgets should move beyond hardware acquisition to include suitable educational software, specialized digital tools, maintenance, backups, antivirus protection and user-safety measures.
This study identified the competency needs of emerging school leaders in financial management, strategic partnerships, and project implementation as a basis for developing a capability building program. Using a descriptive research design integrated with a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study involved 68 emerging school leaders, specifically Head Teachers and newly appointed School Heads with zero to three years of leadership experience in a public schools division in Northern Luzon, Philippines. The researchers gathered data using a competency needs assessment survey aligned with the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH). The findings revealed that financial management was identified as a Moderate Training Need, while strategic partnerships and project implementation were identified as Extensive Training Needs. Based on these findings, the STEP UP! (Strengthening and Training Emerging Personnel for Upgraded Performance) Capability-Building Program was developed to address the identified competency gaps. The program subsequently underwent expert validation and pilot implementation. Validation results indicated an overall rating of Very Highly Valid, demonstrating strong alignment with competency needs, professional standards, content requirements, and implementation mechanisms. Evaluation based on Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Model further showed that the program was highly effective, as participants reported positive reactions, increased knowledge and skills, successful application of learning in the workplace, and perceived improvements in leadership performance and school operations. The study concludes that a needs-based and standards-aligned capability-building program can effectively strengthen the competencies of emerging school leaders and contribute to improved school governance, stakeholder engagement, and project implementation.
This study examined the coping mechanisms and pedagogical challenges experienced by elementary teachers in utilizing interactive multimedia tools in selected public elementary schools in the Schools Division of Leyte, during School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it determined the teachers’ demographic and professional profiles, assessed the extent of pedagogical challenges encountered in terms of technological fluency, competence, curriculum and lesson integration, time management, and resource management, and identified the coping mechanisms used to address these challenges. The study also examined whether significant differences existed in the teachers’ assessments when grouped according to their demographic characteristics and determined the relationship between pedagogical challenges and coping mechanisms. A quantitative descriptive-correlational and descriptive-comparative research design was employed, involving the total population of 145 elementary teachers from five selected public schools. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire validated by educational technology experts and analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson product-moment correlation at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that teachers experienced varying degrees of difficulty in integrating interactive multimedia tools, particularly in managing technological demands, aligning digital resources with lessons, allocating preparation time, and addressing limitations in available resources. Despite these challenges, teachers demonstrated adaptive coping practices, particularly through collaboration and peer support, resourcefulness, adaptation, personal reflection, and self-care. The findings further indicated differences in some assessments when respondents were grouped according to selected demographic characteristics, while the relationship between pedagogical challenges and coping mechanisms reflected the teachers’ efforts to adjust to technology-related demands. Based on the findings, enhanced digital-based literacy teaching-learning activities were developed to strengthen teachers’ technological and pedagogical competencies and support more practical, engaging, and sustainable technology integration in elementary classrooms.
Background: Teacher agency is essential to educational transformation, yet teacher development in Nepal often relies on standardized training approaches that emphasize prescribed methods rather than critical reflection, contextual experimentation, and collaborative learning. Objectives: This study explores how teachers develop and exercise agency through Critical–Creative Pedagogy (CCP) and participatory action research in two Nepali public-school contexts. Methods: Using a participatory action research approach, the study examined two contexts: a cross-school initiative involving 11 teachers from eight public schools in Helambu and a school-based initiative involving 30 teachers at Janata Secondary School in Bardibas. Data were generated over nine months through workshop interactions, teacher reflections, lesson plans, classroom observations, reflective dialogues, and informal conversations with students. The analysis examined how reflection, dialogue, classroom experimentation, and collective professional learning contributed to the development of teacher agency. Results: The findings indicate that teacher agency developed through iterative cycles of reflection, action, observation, dialogue, and re-reflection rather than through standardized training alone. Teachers began questioning textbook-centred and examination-driven practices and experimenting with learning activities grounded in students’ experiences and local contexts. Contextual adaptation and engagement with the wider school community, including school management committees and parents, emerged as important dimensions of pedagogical change. The Bardibas initiative appeared to foster stronger shared reflection, mutual support, and continuity of pedagogical change than the cross-school arrangement in Helambu. Conclusion: Teacher agency is a relational and context-dependent process that develops through critical reflection, pedagogical experimentation, and collaborative learning. Sustaining educational transformation requires professional learning opportunities that connect teachers’ agency with local knowledge, school-level collaboration, and community engagement. Novelty: By examining participatory action research across two distinct school contexts, this study highlights how the institutional setting of teacher collaboration may shape opportunities for collective reflection, mutual support, and sustained pedagogical change. It also foregrounds the importance of connecting teacher learning with school and community contexts in efforts to transform classroom practice.
Our study examines the mechanisms of retention for non-mechanized and unpaid teachers (NU/NP) in public schools or institutions under the Protestant conventionized system, not as an act of volunteerism, but as a dialectical phenomenon shaped by the tension between commitment and constraint. Based on a mixed survey conducted with NU/NP teachers, school principals, and Protestant coordinators, we showed that the permanence of these teachers cannot be explained solely by vocation, nor by the painful coexistence of these two logics. The dialectical thematic analysis of the respondents’ statements reveals pairs of opposing forces: vocation/exploitation, hope/slowness, divine service/survival. Thus, 74.8% of respondents simultaneously express a missionary attachment to the school and a feeling of experienced distributive injustice. This contradiction, far from causing a break, actually drives retention itself: the expectation, Legitimate faith, fear of losing accumulated seniority, but also the lack of job opportunities elsewhere; all prevent people from leaving. On the institutional side, managers maintain this paradox through a multi-valued discourse, mixing structural helplessness with the instrumentalization of faith. The study concludes that keeping NU/NP loyal is dialectical because it doesn’t rely on satisfaction, but on the impossibility of choosing between staying out of conviction and leaving out of dignity. It makes recommendations to the State: increase the number of schools, ensure retirement and mechanization for NU and NP; to the Church, to avoid reassuring NU and NP that their future mechanization is the State’s responsibility through religious discourse and unkept promises.
This study investigated the level of teachers’ research writing skills to develop a capability training program targeted to enhance teachers’ writing skills. It specifically assessed teachers’ research writing skills in terms of formulation of research problem, data analysis and interpretation, research process, and recommendation and output. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative design of research, data were gathered from 219 teacher-respondents from three (3) public elementary schools in Taguig City. The findings of the study revealed that in terms of the demographic profile of the teacher-respondents, the majority of the teacher-respondents are Teacher I; have been in the service for 1-5 years; with units in Masters; and have attended trainings mostly relevant to writing a research title. In terms of assessment of teachers’ level of research writing skills, the teacher-respondents said that they are all capable in all indicators of research writing skills such as formulation of research problem, data analysis and interpretation, research process, and recommendation and output. In terms of challenges encountered in research writing, selecting the topic and making the title suitable for a specific research interest ranked first, while difficulty in determining the scale of a questionnaire ranked the 10th. Meanwhile, in terms of relationship between the profile of the respondents and their level of research writing skills, only teachers’ educational attainment is not significantly related to all of the four (4) components of teachers’ level of research writing skills. The study highlights the need for an intensive training on how to formulate research problems and find correlations and differences of research variables in the research problems; a separate training and learning session to capacitate teachers in crafting research instrument and the processes involved in making the research instrument reliable and valid; the need for the Division of Taguig City and Pateros to address the difficulty of the teachers in crafting research output by providing and sending teachers to trainings solely for crafting research output and its compositions; more trainings and seminars relevant to crafting research titles must be developed so that teachers will have knowledge on how to choose and craft research titles; the research capability training program prepared by the researcher may be tried and adapted by the Division of Taguig City and Pateros and the Department of Education (DepEd) in general to see its workability and effectiveness; and this study can be replicated and the future researchers may embark on a more comprehensive study utilizing more schools and respondents to negate or affirm the findings of the current study.
این پژوهش به بررسی سطح مهارتهای نگارش پژوهشی معلمان به منظور توسعه یک برنامه آموزش توانمندسازی با هدف ارتقاء مهارتهای نگارش معلمان پرداخت. به طور خاص، مهارتهای نگارش پژوهشی معلمان در زمینههای تدوین مسئله پژوهش، تحلیل و تفسیر دادهها، فرایند پژوهش، و پیشنهادات و خروجی پژوهش مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. با بهرهگیری از طرح پژوهش توصیفی-کمی، دادهها از ۲۱۹ معلم پاسخدهنده از سه مدرسه ابتدایی دولتی در شهر تاگیگ گردآوری شد. یافتههای پژوهش نشان داد که از نظر ویژگیهای جمعیتشناختی معلمان پاسخدهنده، اکثریت آنها در سطح Teacher I قرار دارند؛ سابقه خدمت ۱ تا ۵ سال دارند؛ دارای واحدهایی در مقطع کارشناسی ارشد هستند؛ و عمدتاً در دورههایی شرکت کردهاند که مرتبط با نگارش عنوان پژوهش بوده است. در ارزیابی سطح مهارتهای نگارش پژوهشی معلمان، پاسخدهندگان اظهار داشتند که در تمامی شاخصهای مهارتهای نگارش پژوهشی از جمله تدوین مسئله پژوهش، تحلیل و تفسیر دادهها، فرایند پژوهش، و پیشنهادات و خروجی پژوهش توانمند هستند. از نظر چالشهای مواجه شده در نگارش پژوهش، انتخاب موضوع و ساخت عنوان مناسب برای یک علاقه پژوهشی خاص در رتبه اول قرار گرفت، در حالی که دشواری در تعیین مقیاس پرسشنامه در رتبه دهم قرار داشت. همچنین، از نظر رابطه بین ویژگیهای جمعیتشناختی پاسخدهندگان و سطح مهارتهای نگارش پژوهشی آنها، تنها سطح تحصیلات معلمان با هیچیک از چهار مؤلفه سطح مهارتهای نگارش پژوهشی معلمان رابطه معناداری نداشت. این پژوهش بر نیاز به آموزشهای فشرده در زمینه نحوه تدوین مسائل پژوهشی و یافتن همبستگیها و تفاوتهای متغیرهای پژوهشی در مسائل پژوهشی تأکید میکند؛ همچنین برگزاری جلسات آموزشی و یادگیری جداگانه برای توانمندسازی معلمان در ساخت ابزار پژوهش و فرایندهای مرتبط با اعتبار و پایایی ابزار پژوهش ضروری است؛ نیاز است اداره آموزش و پرورش شهر تاگیگ و پاتروس به دشواری معلمان در تدوین خروجی پژوهش با اعزام معلمان به دورههای آموزشی ویژه تدوین خروجی پژوهش و اجزای آن پاسخ دهد؛ دورهها و سمینارهای بیشتری مرتبط با تدوین عناوین پژوهشی باید توسعه یابد تا معلمان دانش لازم برای انتخاب و تدوین عناوین پژوهشی را کسب کنند؛ برنامه آموزش توانمندسازی پژوهشی تهیهشده توسط پژوهشگر میتواند توسط اداره آموزش و پرورش شهر تاگیگ و پاتروس و وزارت آموزش و پرورش (DepEd) به طور آزمایشی اجرا و اقتباس شود تا قابلیت اجرا و اثربخشی آن سنجیده شود؛ و این پژوهش قابلیت تکرار دارد و پژوهشگران آینده میتوانند با استفاده از مدارس و پاسخدهندگان بیشتر، مطالعهای جامعتر انجام دهند تا یافتههای پژوهش حاضر را تأیید یا رد کنند.
This qualitative descriptive case study examined the financial management experiences, challenges, and proposed solutions of school heads in Claveria North District, Masbate, and used the findings as basis for a Financial Management Capacity Enhancement Program. Ten public school heads with at least five years of leadership experience were purposively selected from principals, head teachers, and teachers-in-charge. Data were gathered through semi-structured one-on-one interviews and review of pertinent school financial documents, then analyzed thematically. Findings showed that school heads managed persistent resource inadequacy, delayed fund releases, unexpected expenditures, geographic and logistical constraints, limited formal financial management training, procurement bottlenecks, and demanding documentation and liquidation requirements. Despite these conditions, they developed competence through prioritization, strategic budget allocation, community fundraising, income-generating activities, adaptive procurement practices, peer learning, and close stakeholder coordination; some also relied on personal funds when official resources were delayed. The study concludes that the resourcefulness of rural school heads cannot substitute for institutionalized support. Context-responsive financial training, clearer and more adaptive procedures, timely releases, stronger supplier and stakeholder networks, and standardized accounting and liquidation support are therefore necessary. These findings informed a capacity enhancement program intended to strengthen transparency, accountability, compliance, and efficient financial governance in geographically isolated rural schools.
این مطالعه موردی توصیفی کیفی به بررسی تجارب، چالشها و راهکارهای پیشنهادی مدیران مدارس در زمینه مدیریت مالی در منطقه شمالی Claveria، استان Masbate پرداخت و یافتههای بهدستآمده را مبنایی برای طراحی برنامه ارتقاء ظرفیت مدیریت مالی قرار داد. ده نفر از مدیران مدارس دولتی با حداقل پنج سال سابقه رهبری، بهصورت هدفمند از میان مدیران، معاونان و مسئولان مدارس انتخاب شدند. دادهها از طریق مصاحبههای نیمهساختاریافته فردی و بررسی اسناد مالی مرتبط مدارس گردآوری و بهصورت تماتیک تحلیل شدند. یافتهها نشان داد که مدیران مدارس با کمبود مداوم منابع، تأخیر در تخصیص بودجه، هزینههای پیشبینینشده، محدودیتهای جغرافیایی و لجستیکی، آموزش رسمی محدود در زمینه مدیریت مالی، گلوگاههای تأمین کالا و الزامات دشوار مستندسازی و تسویه حساب مواجه بودند. با وجود این شرایط، آنها از طریق اولویتبندی، تخصیص راهبردی بودجه، جمعآوری کمکهای مردمی، فعالیتهای درآمدزا، شیوههای تطبیقی در تأمین کالا، یادگیری از همتایان و هماهنگی نزدیک با ذینفعان، شایستگی لازم را کسب کردند؛ برخی نیز در صورت تأخیر منابع رسمی، از منابع شخصی خود استفاده میکردند. مطالعه نتیجه میگیرد که ابتکار و خلاقیت مدیران مدارس روستایی جایگزین حمایتهای نهادی نمیشود. بنابراین، آموزش مالی متناسب با زمینه، رویههای شفاف و تطبیقیتر، تخصیص بهموقع منابع، شبکههای قویتر تأمینکنندگان و ذینفعان و پشتیبانی استانداردشده حسابداری و تسویه حساب ضروری است. این یافتهها مبنای برنامه ارتقاء ظرفیت با هدف تقویت شفافیت، پاسخگویی، رعایت مقررات و حکمرانی مالی کارآمد در مدارس روستایی دورافتاده قرار گرفت.
This study explored how learning standards alignment, supervisory sense-making, and instructional support coherence collectively shaped curriculum leadership at scale in Region II, Philippines. A quantitative explanatory design employing partial least squares structural equation modeling was developed to assess the relationships among these constructs. The study involved 320 education program supervisors, curriculum implementers, public schools district supervisors, school heads, master teachers, and selected teachers, with participants selected through simple random sampling. Data were represented through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, measurement model assessment, and structural path analysis. The findings indicated high levels of learning standards alignment (M = 3.75), supervisory sense-making (M = 3.72), instructional support coherence (M = 3.52), and curriculum leadership at scale (M = 3.58). All three explanatory constructs demonstrated positive relationships with curriculum leadership, with instructional support coherence emerging as the strongest predictor (β = 0.38), followed by supervisory sense-making (β = 0.29) and learning standards alignment (β = 0.24). The proposed model accounted for 58.5% of the variance in curriculum leadership outcomes (R² = 0.585). These findings suggest that effective curriculum leadership depends not only on the interpretation and alignment of educational standards but also on the consistency of instructional assistance across administrative levels. Strengthening coordinated technical support, collaborative supervisory decisions, and sustained professional learning may contribute to more coherent curriculum implementation in Region II.
این مطالعه به بررسی چگونگی تأثیر همترازی استانداردهای یادگیری، معنابخشی نظارتی و انسجام حمایتهای آموزشی بر رهبری برنامهٔ درسی در مقیاس وسیع در منطقهٔ دوم فیلیپین پرداخت. یک طرح کمی تبیینی با بهرهگیری از مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری حداقل مربعات جزئی برای ارزیابی روابط میان این سازهها تدوین شد. جامعهٔ پژوهش شامل ۳۲۰ نفر از ناظران برنامههای آموزشی، مجریان برنامهٔ درسی، ناظران نواحی مدارس دولتی، مدیران مدارس، معلمان راهنما و برخی معلمان منتخب بود که با روش نمونهگیری تصادفی ساده انتخاب شدند. دادهها از طریق پرسشنامهٔ ساختاریافته گردآوری و با استفاده از آمار توصیفی، ارزیابی مدل اندازهگیری و تحلیل مسیر ساختاری تحلیل شدند. یافتهها نشان دادند که سطوح همترازی استانداردهای یادگیری (M = 3.75)، معنابخشی نظارتی (M = 3.72)، انسجام حمایتهای آموزشی (M = 3.52) و رهبری برنامهٔ درسی در مقیاس وسیع (M = 3.58) بالا بود. هر سه سازهٔ تبیینی رابطهٔ مثبت با رهبری برنامهٔ درسی نشان دادند و انسجام حمایتهای آموزشی قویترین پیشبین (β = 0.38) بود، سپس معنابخشی نظارتی (β = 0.29) و همترازی استانداردهای یادگیری (β = 0.24) قرار داشتند. مدل پیشنهادی ۵۸.۵٪ از واریانس نتایج رهبری برنامهٔ درسی را تبیین کرد (R² = 0.585). این یافتهها نشان میدهد که رهبری مؤثر برنامهٔ درسی نه تنها به تفسیر و همترازی استانداردهای آموزشی بلکه به انسجام حمایتهای آموزشی در سطوح مختلف اداری وابسته است. تقویت حمایت فنی هماهنگ، تصمیمگیری نظارتی مشارکتی و یادگیری حرفهای مستمر میتواند به اجرای منسجمتر برنامهٔ درسی در منطقهٔ دوم کمک کند.
This qualitative study employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as its research design and centered on eight mathematics educators from the Negros Island Region in the Philippines. These educators were officially enrolled in master's or doctoral programs at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) during the academic year 2024-2025. The researcher employed purposive-convenience sampling, selecting readily accessible mathematics educators who also met specific criteria: they had conducted at least one research study, had presented a study, and had taught in a public high school for at least two years. The study sought to understand their lived experiences related to research engagement, using in-depth interviews to capture their motivations, challenges, coping mechanisms, perceived benefits, and insights. The mathematics educators' primary motivator stemmed from a genuine desire to improve their learners' lives, focusing on strategies to enhance comprehension, reduce anxiety, and promote equity. However, these educators faced considerable challenges, including time constraints due to heavy workloads and limited resources, particularly in public schools and part-time positions. To overcome these obstacles, they demonstrated resourcefulness and relied on collaboration, sharing ideas and leveraging networks for support. Despite the hardships, research engagement brought significant rewards, most notably witnessing learners' "lightbulb moments" and experiencing professional growth. Ultimately, the study highlighted the dedication and resilience of these educators, emphasizing the urgent need for institutional support to foster a research culture that empowers them to advance mathematics education in the Philippines.
این مطالعه کیفی با بهکارگیری طرح پژوهشی تحلیل پدیدارشناختی تفسیری (IPA) انجام شده و بر هشت آموزگار ریاضی از منطقه جزیره نِگروس در فیلیپین متمرکز است. این آموزگاران به طور رسمی در برنامههای کارشناسی ارشد یا دکتری در مؤسسات آموزش عالی (HEIs) در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۴-۲۰۲۵ ثبتنام کرده بودند. پژوهشگر از نمونهگیری هدفمند-سهولتمحور استفاده کرد و آموزگاران ریاضی را که به آسانی در دسترس بودند و همچنین معیارهای خاصی را دارا بودند انتخاب نمود: انجام حداقل یک مطالعه پژوهشی، ارائه یک پژوهش و داشتن سابقه تدریس در دبیرستان دولتی به مدت حداقل دو سال. هدف این مطالعه، فهم تجارب زیسته آنان در ارتباط با مشارکت پژوهشی بود و برای ثبت انگیزهها، چالشها، سازوکارهای مقابلهای، فواید ادراکشده و بینشهای آنان از مصاحبههای عمیق بهره گرفته شد. انگیزه اصلی آموزگاران ریاضی، تمایل واقعی برای بهبود زندگی یادگیرندگانشان بود که بر راهبردهایی برای ارتقای درک، کاهش اضطراب و ترویج عدالت تمرکز داشت. با این حال، این آموزگاران با چالشهای قابل توجهی از جمله محدودیت زمانی ناشی از حجم بالای کار و کمبود منابع، به ویژه در مدارس دولتی و موقعیتهای پارهوقت، مواجه بودند. برای غلبه بر این موانع، آنان با ابتکار عمل و تکیه بر همکاری، به اشتراکگذاری ایدهها و بهرهگیری از شبکههای حمایتی پرداختند. علیرغم دشواریها، مشارکت پژوهشی پاداشهای قابل توجهی به همراه داشت که مهمترین آن مشاهده «لحظات روشنشدن ذهن» یادگیرندگان و تجربه رشد حرفهای بود. در نهایت، این مطالعه بر تعهد و تابآوری این آموزگاران تأکید کرده و نیاز فوری به حمایت نهادی برای تقویت فرهنگ پژوهش به منظور توانمندسازی آنان در پیشبرد آموزش ریاضی در فیلیپین را برجسته میکند.
Ghana's Junior High School (JHS) mathematics curriculum expects teachers to use concrete manipulatives. In the Amansie Central District, Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) mathematics failure rates exceeded 55% each year from 2022 to 2024; this underachievement provides the context, rather than the object, of the present study. Drawing on a curriculum-enactment perspective, this convergent mixed-methods, cross-sectional study examined JHS teachers' reported use of manipulatives, sources of supply, teaching methods, perceived benefits and challenges, and compared reported use with observed classroom practice. Data were collected through a questionnaire completed by 97 mathematics teachers in 56 public schools, semi-structured interviews with 31 participants, and classroom observations of 16 teachers. Across 13 syllabus topics, between 85.6% and 96.9% of teachers reported using manipulatives, yet only 2 of the 16 observed teachers (12.5%) used them during instruction, a marked discrepancy between reported and enacted practice. Although 67.0% reported using activity methods, observed lessons were predominantly lecture- or discussion-based. Improvisation was the main source of manipulatives (78.4%), and 78.4% of teachers reported never receiving manipulatives from the Ministry of Education/Ghana Education Service. One-sample chi-square goodness-of-fit tests showed that responses to every benefit and challenge statement were unevenly distributed across the agree, disagree, and uncertain options (all p < 0.001); most teachers perceived manipulatives as beneficial. The most frequently endorsed challenges were lack of continuing professional development (71.1%), the cost of improvised materials (66.0%), and non-availability (61.9%). The findings point to the need for resourcing, professional development, and supervision that attend to classroom enactment rather than lesson-note compliance.
برنامهٔ درسی ریاضی مدارس راهنمایی (JHS) در غنا انتظار دارد معلمان از وسایل دستورزی عینی استفاده کنند. در منطقهٔ Amansie Central، نرخ مردودی در آزمون گواهینامهٔ آموزش پایه (BECE) در درس ریاضی هر سال از ۲۰۲۲ تا ۲۰۲۴ بیش از ۵۵٪ بوده است؛ این عملکرد ضعیف زمینهٔ پژوهش حاضر را فراهم میکند و موضوع اصلی آن نیست. با بهرهگیری از رویکرد اجرای برنامهٔ درسی، این مطالعهٔ مقطعی با روش آمیختهٔ همگرا به بررسی استفادهٔ گزارششدهٔ معلمان مدارس راهنمایی از وسایل دستورزی، منابع تأمین، روشهای تدریس، منافع و چالشهای ادراکشده و مقایسهٔ استفادهٔ گزارششده با عملکرد مشاهدهشده در کلاس پرداخت. دادهها از طریق پرسشنامهای که توسط ۹۷ معلم ریاضی در ۵۶ مدرسهٔ دولتی تکمیل شد، مصاحبههای نیمهساختاریافته با ۳۱ شرکتکننده و مشاهدهٔ کلاسی ۱۶ معلم گردآوری شد. در ۱۳ موضوع برنامهٔ درسی، بین ۸۵٫۶٪ تا ۹۶٫۹٪ از معلمان گزارش کردند که از وسایل دستورزی استفاده میکنند، اما تنها ۲ نفر از ۱۶ معلم مشاهدهشده (۱۲٫۵٪) در حین تدریس از آنها استفاده کردند که نشاندهندهٔ تفاوت چشمگیر میان گزارش و عملکرد واقعی است. اگرچه ۶۷٫۰٪ گزارش کردند که از روشهای فعالیتمحور استفاده میکنند، اما درسهای مشاهدهشده عمدتاً مبتنی بر سخنرانی یا بحث بودند. بداههسازی منبع اصلی تهیهٔ وسایل دستورزی بود (۷۸٫۴٪) و ۷۸٫۴٪ از معلمان گزارش کردند که هرگز وسایل دستورزی از وزارت آموزش و خدمات آموزشی غنا دریافت نکردهاند. آزمونهای خیدو تکنمونهای نشان داد که پاسخها به هر یک از گزارههای مربوط به منافع و چالشها به طور معناداری در میان گزینههای موافق، مخالف و نامطمئن توزیع شدهاند (همه p < 0.001)؛ اکثر معلمان وسایل دستورزی را سودمند تلقی کردند. پرتکرارترین چالشها عبارت بودند از: فقدان توسعهٔ حرفهای مستمر (۷۱٫۱٪)، هزینهٔ مواد بداههسازیشده (۶۶٫۰٪) و عدم دسترسی (۶۱٫۹٪). یافتهها بر ضرورت تأمین منابع، توسعهٔ حرفهای و نظارتی که به اجرای واقعی در کلاس توجه دارد نه صرفاً رعایت یادداشتهای درسی، تأکید میکند.
This study examined the level of parental support during home-based instruction for children with intellectual disabilities. Specifically, it determined the demographic profile of the parent-respondents in terms of age, sex, educational attainment, and monthly family income; assessed the level of parental support in terms of instructional support, emotional and motivational support, management of routines and structure, and collaboration with educators or therapists; and determined whether significant differences existed in the level of parental support when respondents were grouped according to their demographic characteristics. The study employed a quantitative descriptive-comparative research design. The respondents consisted of fifty (50) parents or legal guardians of children with intellectual disabilities from selected public schools in the Division of Tacloban City, who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire that underwent content validation and reliability testing. The data were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test, and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed that most respondents were female, aged 31–40 years, high school graduates, and had a monthly family income above ₱30,000. In terms of parental support, emotional and motivational support (M = 2.51) and collaboration with educators or therapists (M = 2.50) were rated High, while instructional support (M = 2.42) and management of routines and structure (M = 2.47) were rated Moderate. The overall level of parental support during home-based instruction was Moderate (M = 2.47). Furthermore, the results indicated no significant differences in the level of parental support when respondents were grouped according to their demographic characteristics. Based on the findings, a Parent Support Intervention Program was developed to strengthen parental support during home-based instruction. The study recommends strengthening parent education programs, enhancing collaboration among parents, teachers, and therapists, and providing parent-friendly instructional resources to improve support for children with intellectual disabilities.
این پژوهش به بررسی میزان حمایت والدین در آموزش مبتنی بر خانه برای کودکان با ناتوانی ذهنی پرداخت. به طور مشخص، نمایه جمعیتشناختی والدین پاسخدهنده از نظر سن، جنس، میزان تحصیلات و درآمد ماهانه خانواده تعیین شد؛ میزان حمایت والدین در ابعاد حمایت آموزشی، حمایت عاطفی و انگیزشی، مدیریت روالها و ساختار، و همکاری با آموزگاران یا درمانگران ارزیابی گردید؛ و مشخص شد که آیا تفاوت معناداری در میزان حمایت والدین زمانی که پاسخدهندگان بر اساس ویژگیهای جمعیتشناختی گروهبندی شدند، وجود دارد یا خیر. این پژوهش از طرح پژوهش توصیفی-مقایسهای کمی بهره برد. پاسخدهندگان شامل پنجاه (50) نفر از والدین یا سرپرستان قانونی کودکان با ناتوانی ذهنی از مدارس دولتی منتخب در منطقه Tacloban City بودند که به روش نمونهگیری هدفمند انتخاب شدند. دادهها با استفاده از پرسشنامه محققساخته که اعتبار محتوایی و پایایی آن بررسی شده بود، گردآوری شد. دادهها با استفاده از شمارش فراوانی، درصد، میانگین وزنی، انحراف معیار، آزمون t مستقل و تحلیل واریانس یکطرفه (ANOVA) تحلیل شدند. یافتهها نشان داد که اکثر پاسخدهندگان زن، در بازه سنی 31 تا 40 سال، فارغالتحصیل دبیرستان و دارای درآمد ماهانه خانوادگی بالاتر از ₱30,000 بودند. از نظر حمایت والدین، حمایت عاطفی و انگیزشی (M = 2.51) و همکاری با آموزگاران یا درمانگران (M = 2.50) در سطح بالا ارزیابی شد، در حالی که حمایت آموزشی (M = 2.42) و مدیریت روالها و ساختار (M = 2.47) در سطح متوسط قرار داشت. سطح کلی حمایت والدین در آموزش مبتنی بر خانه در سطح متوسط (M = 2.47) بود. افزون بر این، نتایج نشان داد که تفاوت معناداری در میزان حمایت والدین زمانی که پاسخدهندگان بر اساس ویژگیهای جمعیتشناختی گروهبندی شدند، وجود ندارد. بر اساس یافتهها، برنامه مداخله حمایت والدین برای تقویت حمایت والدین در آموزش مبتنی بر خانه تدوین شد. پژوهش پیشنهاد میکند که برنامههای آموزش والدین تقویت شود، همکاری میان والدین، معلمان و درمانگران ارتقاء یابد و منابع آموزشی مناسب والدین برای بهبود حمایت از کودکان با ناتوانی ذهنی فراهم گردد.
Developing creative competencies has become a major priority in primary education, yet existing studies have primarily examined the effectiveness of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) independently, offering limited explanation of the mechanisms through which these approaches jointly foster creativity. This study developed and evaluated a Mechanism-Based Social-Emotional Problem-Based Learning (MB-SEPBL) model that conceptualises socio-emotional competencies as the central mechanisms linking authentic problem-solving experiences with creative competency development. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group design was employed involving 180 primary school students from three Indonesian public schools, comprising an experimental group (n = 90) and a control group (n = 90). Students in the experimental group received MB-SEPBL instruction, whereas the control group followed conventional teacher-centred learning. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t -tests, ANCOVA, Linear Mixed-Effects Modelling, Hedges’ g , and bootstrap mediation analysis (5,000 resamples). Baseline equivalence indicated no significant pre-intervention differences between groups ( t (178) = −0.69, p = .493). After controlling for baseline performance, ANCOVA demonstrated a highly significant intervention effect ( F (1,177) = 334.75, p < .001, partial η 2 = .654), while the Linear Mixed-Effects Model confirmed a significant Group × Time interaction (β = 7.93, p < .001). The intervention produced a large posttest effect (Hedges’ g = 0.90) and a very large gain effect (Hedges’ g = 2.73). Bootstrap mediation analysis further identified a significant indirect effect (3.21, 95% CI = 2.48–4.07, p < .001), supporting the proposed socio-emotional learning mechanism. These findings demonstrate that MB-SEPBL not only substantially improves primary school students’ creative competencies but also provides a mechanism-based explanation of how authentic problem solving, socio-emotional activation, collaborative inquiry, and reflective knowledge construction interact to generate creative learning outcomes.
توسعه شایستگیهای خلاق به یکی از اولویتهای اصلی در آموزش ابتدایی تبدیل شده است، اما مطالعات موجود عمدتاً اثربخشی یادگیری اجتماعی-هیجانی (SEL) و یادگیری مبتنی بر مسئله (PBL) را به طور مستقل بررسی کردهاند و توضیح محدودی درباره سازوکارهایی که از طریق آنها این رویکردها به طور مشترک خلاقیت را پرورش میدهند، ارائه دادهاند. این پژوهش مدل یادگیری مبتنی بر مسئله اجتماعی-هیجانی مبتنی بر سازوکار (MB-SEPBL) را توسعه داده و ارزیابی کرده است که در آن شایستگیهای اجتماعی-هیجانی به عنوان سازوکارهای مرکزی پیونددهنده تجارب حل مسئله اصیل با توسعه شایستگیهای خلاق مفهومسازی شدهاند. طرح شبهآزمایشی پیشآزمون-پسآزمون با گروه کنترل غیرمعادل با مشارکت ۱۸۰ دانشآموز دبستانی از سه مدرسه دولتی اندونزی، شامل گروه آزمایش (n = 90) و گروه کنترل (n = 90) اجرا شد. دانشآموزان گروه آزمایش آموزش MB-SEPBL را دریافت کردند، در حالی که گروه کنترل از روش تدریس سنتی معلممحور پیروی کردند. دادهها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی، آزمون t مستقل، ANCOVA، مدلسازی خطی اثرات آمیخته، اندازه اثر Hedges’ g و تحلیل میانجیگری بوتاسترپ (۵۰۰۰ بازنمونهگیری) تحلیل شدند. معادل بودن پایهای نشان داد که بین گروهها پیش از مداخله تفاوت معناداری وجود ندارد (t(178) = −0.69, p = .493). پس از کنترل عملکرد پایه، ANCOVA اثر مداخله بسیار معناداری را نشان داد (F(1,177) = 334.75, p < .001, partial η2 = .654)، در حالی که مدل خطی اثرات آمیخته تعامل معنادار گروه × زمان را تأیید کرد (β = 7.93, p < .001). مداخله منجر به اندازه اثر بزرگ در پسآزمون (Hedges’ g = 0.90) و اندازه اثر بسیار بزرگ در میزان پیشرفت (Hedges’ g = 2.73) شد. تحلیل میانجیگری بوتاسترپ نیز اثر غیرمستقیم معناداری را شناسایی کرد (3.21, 95% CI = 2.48–4.07, p < .001) که از سازوکار یادگیری اجتماعی-هیجانی پیشنهادی حمایت میکند. این یافتهها نشان میدهد که MB-SEPBL نه تنها شایستگیهای خلاق دانشآموزان دبستانی را به طور قابل توجهی بهبود میبخشد، بلکه تبیینی مبتنی بر سازوکار از نحوه تعامل حل مسئله اصیل، فعالسازی اجتماعی-هیجانی، پژوهش مشارکتی و ساخت دانش تأملی برای ایجاد پیامدهای یادگیری خلاق ارائه میدهد.
Introduction This study examined the indirect association between psychological well-being and professional commitment through teacher self-efficacy within the framework of Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. Methods A correlational research design was employed with a sample of 330 Turkish language teachers working in public schools in Türkiye. Data were collected using the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Teachers’ Professional Commitment Scale. Pearson correlation and regression-based indirect-effect analyses were conducted using PROCESS macro Model 4 developed by Andrew F. Hayes. Results Psychological well-being was positively and significantly associated with both teacher self-efficacy and professional commitment. Teacher self-efficacy was also positively and significantly associated with professional commitment. Furthermore, the indirect-effect analysis indicated a statistically significant indirect association between psychological well-being and professional commitment through teacher self-efficacy. The proposed model explained approximately 30% of the variance in professional commitment. Discussion The findings highlight the relevance of teachers’ psychological well-being and self-efficacy to professional commitment and provide context-specific evidence from Turkish language teachers working in the Turkish educational context.
مقدمه: این مطالعه ارتباط غیرمستقیم بین بهزیستی روانشناختی و تعهد حرفهای از طریق خودکارآمدی معلمان را در چارچوب نظریه شناختی-اجتماعی آلبرت بندورا مورد بررسی قرار داد. روشها: طرح پژوهش همبستگی با نمونهای متشکل از ۳۳۰ معلم زبان ترکی شاغل در مدارس دولتی ترکیه اجرا شد. دادهها با استفاده از مقیاس خودکارآمدی معلمان، مقیاس بهزیستی روانشناختی و مقیاس تعهد حرفهای معلمان جمعآوری گردید. تحلیل همبستگی پیرسون و تحلیل اثر غیرمستقیم مبتنی بر رگرسیون با استفاده از مدل ۴ ماکرو PROCESS توسعهیافته توسط Andrew F. Hayes انجام شد. یافتهها: بهزیستی روانشناختی با هر دو متغیر خودکارآمدی معلمان و تعهد حرفهای رابطه مثبت و معناداری داشت. همچنین، خودکارآمدی معلمان با تعهد حرفهای رابطه مثبت و معناداری نشان داد. علاوه بر این، تحلیل اثر غیرمستقیم نشان داد که بین بهزیستی روانشناختی و تعهد حرفهای از طریق خودکارآمدی معلمان ارتباط غیرمستقیم معنادار آماری وجود دارد. مدل پیشنهادی تقریباً ۳۰٪ از واریانس تعهد حرفهای را تبیین کرد. بحث: یافتهها اهمیت بهزیستی روانشناختی و خودکارآمدی معلمان را در تعهد حرفهای برجسته میکند و شواهدی زمینهمحور از معلمان زبان ترکی شاغل در بستر آموزشی ترکیه ارائه میدهد.
Background Reading literacy is a fundamental determinant of academic achievement. However, the complex psychological mechanisms linking teacher support to reading literacy during the critical developmental transition of middle childhood remain insufficiently understood. This gap is particularly evident within the Confucian Heritage Culture (CHC) context, where teacher authority and social validation are highly prominent. Grounded in an integration of control-value theory and social cognitive theory, this study aims to investigate the parallel mediating roles of achievement emotions (an affective pathway) and reading self-efficacy (a cognitive-motivational pathway) in the relationship between perceived teacher support and reading literacy. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 460 Grade 4 pupils (aged 9–10 years) from two public schools in Beijing, China. Data were collected using validated self-report questionnaires for psychological constructs and a Chinese adaptation of the PIRLS assessment for reading literacy, followed by analysis using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM). Results The structural model revealed that perceived teacher support significantly and positively predicted reading literacy ( β = 0.446, p <0.001). Mediation analyses using bias-corrected bootstrapping demonstrated that achievement emotions significantly mediated the relationship between teacher support and reading literacy ( β = 0.063, 95% CI [0.015, 0.115]). Conversely, reading self-efficacy did not exhibit a significant independent mediation effect when accounting for emotional factors. The total model explained 31.3% of the variance in reading literacy. Discussion These findings highlight that teacher support enhances primary school pupils’ reading literacy primarily through emotional rather than cognitive-motivational pathways. The study extends existing literature by demonstrating that fostering emotionally supportive classroom environments and positive achievement emotions is a vital, yet often overlooked, pedagogical strategy for sustainable literacy development.
زمینه سواد خواندن یکی از عوامل اساسی تعیینکننده موفقیت تحصیلی است. با این حال، سازوکارهای روانشناختی پیچیدهای که حمایت معلم را به سواد خواندن در دوره انتقالی مهم کودکی میانی پیوند میدهند، هنوز به طور کافی درک نشدهاند. این شکاف به ویژه در زمینه فرهنگ میراث کنفوسیوسی (Confucian Heritage Culture) مشهود است، جایی که اقتدار معلم و اعتبار اجتماعی بسیار برجسته است. این مطالعه که بر پایه تلفیقی از نظریه کنترل-ارزش (control-value theory) و نظریه شناختی-اجتماعی قرار دارد، هدف دارد نقشهای میانجیگری موازی هیجانات موفقیت (مسیر عاطفی) و خودکارآمدی خواندن (مسیر شناختی-انگیزشی) را در رابطه بین حمایت ادراکشده معلم و سواد خواندن بررسی کند. روشها یک مطالعه مقطعی بر روی ۴۶۰ دانشآموز پایه چهارم (۹ تا ۱۰ ساله) از دو مدرسه دولتی در پکن، چین انجام شد. دادهها با استفاده از پرسشنامههای خودگزارشدهی معتبر برای سازههای روانشناختی و نسخه چینی ارزیابی PIRLS برای سواد خواندن جمعآوری شد و سپس با مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری مبتنی بر کوواریانس (CB-SEM) تحلیل گردید. نتایج مدل ساختاری نشان داد که حمایت ادراکشده معلم به طور معنادار و مثبت سواد خواندن را پیشبینی میکند (β = ۰.۴۴۶، p <۰.۰۰۱). تحلیلهای میانجیگری با بوتاسترپ اصلاحشده از نظر سوگیری نشان داد که هیجانات موفقیت به طور معنادار رابطه بین حمایت معلم و سواد خواندن را میانجیگری میکنند (β = ۰.۰۶۳، ۹۵٪ CI [۰.۰۱۵، ۰.۱۱۵]). در مقابل، خودکارآمدی خواندن هنگام لحاظ کردن عوامل عاطفی، اثر میانجیگری مستقل معناداری نشان نداد. مدل کلی ۳۱.۳٪ از واریانس سواد خواندن را تبیین کرد. بحث این یافتهها تأکید میکنند که حمایت معلم عمدتاً از طریق مسیرهای عاطفی و نه شناختی-انگیزشی، سواد خواندن دانشآموزان ابتدایی را ارتقاء میدهد. این مطالعه ادبیات موجود را گسترش میدهد و نشان میدهد که ایجاد محیطهای کلاسی حمایتکننده عاطفی و هیجانات موفقیت مثبت، راهبرد آموزشی حیاتی و اغلب مغفول برای توسعه پایدار سواد است.
In this article, we present findings from a critical participatory action research (CPAR) study of Achieve Atlanta (AATL), a place-based, need-based grant program for students graduating from Atlanta Public Schools. The purpose of this research was to better understand how the AATL scholarship and its associated services shaped the experiences, opportunities, and positive outcomes of AATL Scholars, with specific attention to borrowing and debt repayment. We argue that lifting or reducing the debt burden allowed students to accumulate additional forms of dominant cultural capital, namely, time. We further argue that time, as a largely neglected form of capital, enabled students to be college students and provided the conditions for academic success.
در این مقاله، یافتههای پژوهشی با رویکرد اقدامپژوهی مشارکتی انتقادی (CPAR) درباره برنامه Achieve Atlanta (AATL)، که یک برنامه کمکهزینه مبتنی بر مکان و نیاز برای دانشآموزان فارغالتحصیل مدارس دولتی آتلانتا است، ارائه میشود. هدف این پژوهش، درک بهتر از چگونگی تأثیر بورس تحصیلی AATL و خدمات مرتبط با آن بر تجارب، فرصتها و پیامدهای مثبت دانشآموختگان AATL، با تمرکز ویژه بر وامگیری و بازپرداخت بدهی بود. ما استدلال میکنیم که حذف یا کاهش بار بدهی، به دانشجویان امکان انباشت اشکال دیگری از سرمایه فرهنگی مسلط، بهویژه زمان، را میدهد. همچنین استدلال میکنیم که زمان، بهعنوان شکلی عمدتاً مغفول از سرمایه، شرایط لازم برای دانشجویی و موفقیت تحصیلی را برای دانشجویان فراهم میکند.
This study investigated the extent to which public school principals in the First Zarqa Education Directorate practice transformational leadership and examined its relationship with teachers’ organizational commitment. The study adopted a descriptive correlational design. Data were collected using a questionnaire developed to measure two main constructs: transformational leadership and organizational commitment. The sample consisted of 562 male and female teachers selected randomly from public schools in the directorate. The findings showed that teachers perceived principals’ practice of transformational leadership to be high, with a mean score of 3.74 and a standard deviation of 0.62. No statistically significant differences were found in teachers’ perceptions of transformational leadership according to gender, whereas significant differences were found according to years of experience, in favor of teachers with fewer than ten years of service. The results also indicated that teachers’ organizational commitment was high, with a mean score of 3.74 and a standard deviation of 0.64. In addition, a positive correlation was found between principals’ transformational leadership practices and teachers’ organizational commitment. These findings highlight the importance of transformational leadership in strengthening teachers’ attachment to their schools and enhancing commitment within public education institutions. The study recommends that school leaders adopt transformational leadership practices, particularly those related to motivation, shared vision, professional support, and participatory decision-making, as these practices may contribute to improving teachers’ organizational commitment.
این پژوهش به بررسی میزان بهکارگیری رهبری تحولآفرین توسط مدیران مدارس دولتی در اداره آموزش و پرورش اول زرقاء و رابطه آن با تعهد سازمانی معلمان پرداخت. روش پژوهش توصیفی-همبستگی بود. دادهها با استفاده از پرسشنامهای که برای سنجش دو سازه اصلی رهبری تحولآفرین و تعهد سازمانی تدوین شده بود، گردآوری شد. نمونه پژوهش شامل ۵۶۲ معلم زن و مرد بود که به صورت تصادفی از مدارس دولتی این اداره انتخاب شدند. یافتهها نشان داد که معلمان، میزان بهکارگیری رهبری تحولآفرین توسط مدیران را بالا ارزیابی کردند (میانگین ۳٫۷۴ و انحراف معیار ۰٫۶۲). تفاوت معنادار آماری در ادراک معلمان از رهبری تحولآفرین بر اساس جنسیت مشاهده نشد، اما بر اساس سابقه خدمت، تفاوت معناداری به نفع معلمان با کمتر از ده سال سابقه وجود داشت. نتایج همچنین نشان داد که تعهد سازمانی معلمان بالا بود (میانگین ۳٫۷۴ و انحراف معیار ۰٫۶۴). علاوه بر این، همبستگی مثبت بین رهبری تحولآفرین مدیران و تعهد سازمانی معلمان مشاهده شد. این یافتهها بر اهمیت رهبری تحولآفرین در تقویت دلبستگی معلمان به مدرسه و افزایش تعهد در نهادهای آموزش و پرورش دولتی تأکید دارد. پژوهش توصیه میکند که مدیران مدارس، به ویژه در زمینههای انگیزش، چشمانداز مشترک، حمایت حرفهای و تصمیمگیری مشارکتی، از شیوههای رهبری تحولآفرین بهره گیرند، چرا که این شیوهها میتواند به بهبود تعهد سازمانی معلمان کمک کند.
This study aimed to identify the degree to which public school principals in Ramtha District practice participatory leadership and to examine its relationship with teachers’ morale from the perspectives of principals and teachers. The study adopted a descriptive correlational survey design. A questionnaire was used as the main instrument for data collection and was administered to a sample of 347 principals and teachers selected through simple random sampling. The findings revealed that the degree of participatory leadership practiced by public school principals was moderate. The results also indicated that the level of teachers’ morale was moderate. Furthermore, the study found a statistically significant positive correlation at the 0.05 significance level between the degree of participatory leadership practice and teachers’ morale. These findings suggest that promoting participatory leadership in public schools may contribute to improving teachers’ morale and enhancing the overall school climate. The study recommends encouraging school principals to involve teachers in decision-making, strengthen collaborative practices, and adopt leadership approaches that support motivation, professional engagement, and institutional effectiveness.
هدف این پژوهش شناسایی میزان اعمال رهبری مشارکتی توسط مدیران مدارس دولتی منطقه رمثا و بررسی رابطه آن با روحیه معلمان از دیدگاه مدیران و معلمان بود. این پژوهش از طرح توصیفی همبستگی از نوع پیمایشی بهره برد. پرسشنامه به عنوان ابزار اصلی گردآوری دادهها مورد استفاده قرار گرفت و بر روی نمونهای متشکل از ۳۴۷ نفر از مدیران و معلمان که به روش نمونهگیری تصادفی ساده انتخاب شده بودند، اجرا شد. یافتهها نشان داد که میزان رهبری مشارکتی اعمالشده توسط مدیران مدارس دولتی در حد متوسط بود. همچنین نتایج نشان داد که سطح روحیه معلمان نیز در حد متوسط قرار داشت. افزون بر این، پژوهش وجود همبستگی مثبت معنادار در سطح معناداری ۰٫۰۵ بین میزان اعمال رهبری مشارکتی و روحیه معلمان را نشان داد. این یافتهها حاکی از آن است که ترویج رهبری مشارکتی در مدارس دولتی میتواند به بهبود روحیه معلمان و ارتقای جو کلی مدرسه کمک کند. پژوهش توصیه میکند که مدیران مدارس به مشارکت دادن معلمان در فرایند تصمیمگیری، تقویت شیوههای همکاری و اتخاذ رویکردهای رهبری که از انگیزش، مشارکت حرفهای و اثربخشی نهادی حمایت میکنند، تشویق شوند.
This study examined the extent to which public school principals in Zarqa Governorate practice faith-based leadership and explored its relationship with the effectiveness of educational decision-making from teachers’ perspectives. The study adopted a descriptive correlational design. Data were collected using a questionnaire developed to measure two main constructs: faith-based leadership practices and the effectiveness of educational decision-making. The sample consisted of 628 male and female teachers from public schools in the First Zarqa Education Directorate, selected using simple random sampling. The findings showed that teachers perceived principals’ practice of faith-based leadership to be moderate. The results also indicated that the effectiveness of educational decision-making in public schools was perceived to be moderate. In addition, a positive correlation was found between principals’ faith-based leadership practices and the effectiveness of educational decision-making. These findings suggest that leadership practices grounded in ethical values, trust, responsibility, and shared purpose may contribute to improving decision-making processes in schools. The study recommends strengthening value-based leadership practices among school principals, particularly those related to consultation, fairness, accountability, participation, and moral responsibility in educational decision-making.
این پژوهش به بررسی میزان بهکارگیری رهبری مبتنی بر ایمان توسط مدیران مدارس دولتی در استان زرقاء و نیز رابطه آن با اثربخشی تصمیمگیری آموزشی از دیدگاه معلمان پرداخت. پژوهش حاضر از نوع توصیفی-همبستگی بود. دادهها با استفاده از پرسشنامهای که برای سنجش دو سازه اصلی، یعنی شیوههای رهبری مبتنی بر ایمان و اثربخشی تصمیمگیری آموزشی، تدوین شده بود، گردآوری شد. نمونه پژوهش شامل ۶۲۸ معلم زن و مرد از مدارس دولتی اداره آموزش و پرورش منطقه اول زرقاء بود که به روش نمونهگیری تصادفی ساده انتخاب شدند. یافتهها نشان داد که معلمان، میزان بهکارگیری رهبری مبتنی بر ایمان توسط مدیران را در حد متوسط ارزیابی کردند. همچنین نتایج نشان داد اثربخشی تصمیمگیری آموزشی در مدارس دولتی نیز در سطح متوسط ادراک شده است. افزون بر این، بین شیوههای رهبری مبتنی بر ایمان مدیران و اثربخشی تصمیمگیری آموزشی، همبستگی مثبت وجود داشت. این یافتهها حاکی از آن است که شیوههای رهبری مبتنی بر ارزشهای اخلاقی، اعتماد، مسئولیتپذیری و هدف مشترک میتواند به بهبود فرآیندهای تصمیمگیری در مدارس کمک کند. پژوهش توصیه میکند که شیوههای رهبری مبتنی بر ارزشها، بهویژه موارد مرتبط با مشورت، انصاف، پاسخگویی، مشارکت و مسئولیت اخلاقی در تصمیمگیری آموزشی، در میان مدیران مدارس تقویت شود.
This study investigates how principals’ instructional leadership influences teachers’ innovative work behavior, with teacher commitment and teacher professional collaboration as mediating mechanisms. Drawing on a cross-sectional survey of 812 teachers working in public schools in Türkiye, structural equation modelling with bootstrapping was employed to examine the direct and indirect effects of instructional leadership. The results indicate that instructional leadership has significant positive effects on both teacher commitment and teacher professional collaboration, which in turn enhance teachers’ innovative work behavior. Furthermore, the findings show that the mediating effects of teacher commitment and teacher professional collaboration are stronger than the direct effect of instructional leadership, underscoring their central role in linking school leadership practices with teachers’ innovative work behavior. By providing empirical evidence from a centralized education system, this study extends the international literature on instructional leadership and teacher innovation. The findings contribute theoretically by clarifying the mechanisms through which principals foster teachers’ innovative work behavior, and practically by offering insights for school leaders and policymakers seeking to cultivate teacher collaboration, strengthen commitment, and stimulate innovative work behavior in schools.
این مطالعه بررسی میکند که چگونه رهبری آموزشی مدیران بر رفتار کاری نوآورانه معلمان تأثیر میگذارد و تعهد معلم و همکاری حرفهای معلمان به عنوان سازوکارهای میانجی ایفای نقش میکنند. با استفاده از یک پیمایش مقطعی از ۸۱۲ معلم شاغل در مدارس دولتی ترکیه، مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری همراه با بوتاسترپینگ برای بررسی اثرات مستقیم و غیرمستقیم رهبری آموزشی به کار گرفته شد. نتایج نشان میدهد که رهبری آموزشی تأثیرات مثبت معناداری بر تعهد معلم و همکاری حرفهای معلمان دارد که به نوبه خود رفتار کاری نوآورانه معلمان را ارتقا میبخشد. افزون بر این، یافتهها نشان میدهد که اثرات میانجی تعهد معلم و همکاری حرفهای معلمان قویتر از اثر مستقیم رهبری آموزشی است و نقش محوری آنها را در پیوند دادن شیوههای رهبری مدرسه با رفتار کاری نوآورانه معلمان برجسته میسازد. این مطالعه با ارائه شواهد تجربی از یک نظام آموزشی متمرکز، ادبیات بینالمللی رهبری آموزشی و نوآوری معلمان را گسترش میدهد. یافتهها از لحاظ نظری با روشن ساختن سازوکارهایی که مدیران از طریق آنها رفتار کاری نوآورانه معلمان را تقویت میکنند، و از لحاظ عملی با ارائه بینشهایی برای رهبران مدارس و سیاستگذاران به منظور تقویت همکاری معلمان، افزایش تعهد و تحریک رفتار کاری نوآورانه در مدارس، سهمآفرینی میکند.
Introduction This study examined the association between distributed leadership and teachers’ work engagement, with teacher subjective well-being specified as a mediator and perceived collective teacher efficacy as a moderator. Methods Drawing on the Job Demands–Resources model and social cognitive theory, a moderated mediation model was tested using Bayesian structural equation modeling. Data were collected from 598 teachers working in 60 public schools in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Results Distributed leadership was positively associated with teacher subjective well-being [ β = 0.233, 95% BCI (0.077, 0.381)] and work engagement [ β = 0.234, 95% BCI (0.135, 0.333)], while subjective well-being was positively associated with work engagement [ β = 0.172, 95% BCI (0.112, 0.232)]. The indirect association through subjective well-being was supported [ B = 0.039, 95% BCI (0.012, 0.074)]. Perceived collective teacher efficacy moderated the association between distributed leadership and subjective well-being [ β = 0.099, 95% BCI (0.003, 0.192)]. The conditional indirect association was supported at the mean and higher levels of perceived collective teacher efficacy but not at lower levels, and the index of moderated mediation excluded zero [ B = 0.019, 95% BCI (0.001, 0.043)]. These conclusions remained stable under alternative prior specifications. Discussion The findings indicate an indirect statistical association between distributed leadership and work engagement through teacher subjective well-being, which varied according to perceived collective teacher efficacy. Given the cross-sectional, self-report design, this mediation represents a statistical decomposition of covariance rather than evidence of a causal mechanism or temporal sequence.
مقدمه: این مطالعه به بررسی ارتباط بین رهبری توزیعی و درگیری شغلی معلمان پرداخت، بهطوری که بهزیستی ذهنی معلمان به عنوان میانجیگر و کارآمدی جمعی ادراکشده معلمان به عنوان تعدیلگر مشخص شد. روشها: با بهرهگیری از مدل منابع–تقاضاهای شغلی و نظریه شناختی اجتماعی، یک مدل میانجیگری تعدیلشده با استفاده از مدلیابی معادلات ساختاری بیزی آزمون شد. دادهها از ۵۹۸ معلم شاغل در ۶۰ مدرسه دولتی در اربیل، اقلیم کردستان عراق جمعآوری شد. نتایج: رهبری توزیعی با بهزیستی ذهنی معلمان [β = ۰٫۲۳۳، بازه اطمینان بیزی ۹۵٪ (۰٫۰۷۷، ۰٫۳۸۱)] و درگیری شغلی [β = ۰٫۲۳۴، بازه اطمینان بیزی ۹۵٪ (۰٫۱۳۵، ۰٫۳۳۳)] رابطه مثبت داشت، در حالی که بهزیستی ذهنی نیز با درگیری شغلی [β = ۰٫۱۷۲، بازه اطمینان بیزی ۹۵٪ (۰٫۱۱۲، ۰٫۲۳۲)] رابطه مثبت نشان داد. ارتباط غیرمستقیم از طریق بهزیستی ذهنی مورد حمایت قرار گرفت [B = ۰٫۰۳۹، بازه اطمینان بیزی ۹۵٪ (۰٫۰۱۲، ۰٫۰۷۴)]. کارآمدی جمعی ادراکشده معلمان، ارتباط بین رهبری توزیعی و بهزیستی ذهنی را تعدیل کرد [β = ۰٫۰۹۹، بازه اطمینان بیزی ۹۵٪ (۰٫۰۰۳، ۰٫۱۹۲)]. ارتباط غیرمستقیم شرطی در سطوح میانگین و بالاتر کارآمدی جمعی ادراکشده معلمان مورد حمایت قرار گرفت اما در سطوح پایینتر اینگونه نبود و شاخص میانجیگری تعدیلشده شامل صفر نشد [B = ۰٫۰۱۹، بازه اطمینان بیزی ۹۵٪ (۰٫۰۰۱، ۰٫۰۴۳)]. این نتایج تحت مشخصات پیشین جایگزین نیز پایدار باقی ماندند. بحث: یافتهها نشاندهنده یک ارتباط آماری غیرمستقیم بین رهبری توزیعی و درگیری شغلی از طریق بهزیستی ذهنی معلمان است که بسته به کارآمدی جمعی ادراکشده معلمان متفاوت بود. با توجه به طرح مقطعی و خودگزارشی پژوهش، این میانجیگری به منزله تجزیه آماری کوواریانس است و نه شواهدی از یک سازوکار علّی یا توالی زمانی.
