Purpose: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of positive parenting training and Choice Theory–based parenting training on the parent–child relationship. Methods and Materials: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group and a follow-up assessment. The statistical population consisted of all mothers of boys aged 6 to 9 years enrolled in schools within Educational District 6 of the Mashhad Department of Education during the 2025–2026 academic year. Participants were selected using purposive non-probability sampling based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria (Group 1: positive parenting training, n = 15; Group 2: Choice Theory–based parenting training, n = 15; Group 3: control, n = 15). Following selection, participants were randomly assigned by lottery to the positive parenting training and Choice Theory–based parenting training intervention groups. Data were collected using the short form of the Mother–Child Relationship Scale developed by Pianta (1994). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (repeated-measures analysis of variance). Findings: The findings indicated that both interventions had a positive and statistically significant effect on improving the parent–child relationship. However, Choice Theory–based parenting training was more effective in strengthening the parent–child relationship. These effects remained stable at the follow-up assessment. Conclusion: Both educational approaches demonstrated practical effectiveness in improving the parent–child relationship. However, the Choice Theory approach, with its emphasis on empathic communication and understanding children's psychological needs, was more effective in fostering a deeper emotional bond between mothers and their children. It is recommended that future parent education programs integrate both approaches to maximize intervention effectiveness.

هدف: پژوهش حاضر با هدف مقایسه اثربخشی آموزش فرزندپروری مثبت و آموزش فرزندپروری مبتنی بر نظریه انتخاب بر رابطه والد–کودک انجام شد. روش‌ها و مواد: این پژوهش از نوع شبه‌آزمایشی با طرح پیش‌آزمون–پس‌آزمون با گروه کنترل و ارزیابی پیگیری بود. جامعه آماری شامل کلیه مادران پسران ۶ تا ۹ ساله مشغول به تحصیل در مدارس ناحیه ۶ آموزش و پرورش مشهد در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵–۲۰۲۶ بود. نمونه‌ها با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند غیرتصادفی و بر اساس معیارهای ورود و خروج انتخاب شدند (گروه ۱: آموزش فرزندپروری مثبت، n = ۱۵؛ گروه ۲: آموزش فرزندپروری مبتنی بر نظریه انتخاب، n = ۱۵؛ گروه ۳: کنترل، n = ۱۵). پس از انتخاب، شرکت‌کنندگان به صورت تصادفی با قرعه‌کشی به گروه‌های مداخله آموزش فرزندپروری مثبت و آموزش فرزندپروری مبتنی بر نظریه انتخاب تخصیص یافتند. داده‌ها با استفاده از فرم کوتاه مقیاس رابطه مادر–کودک Pianta (۱۹۹۴) جمع‌آوری شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی (میانگین و انحراف معیار) و آمار استنباطی (تحلیل واریانس با اندازه‌گیری مکرر) تحلیل گردید. یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد هر دو مداخله تأثیر مثبت و معناداری بر بهبود رابطه والد–کودک داشتند. با این حال، آموزش فرزندپروری مبتنی بر نظریه انتخاب در تقویت رابطه والد–کودک اثربخش‌تر بود. این اثرات در ارزیابی پیگیری نیز پایدار ماند. نتیجه‌گیری: هر دو رویکرد آموزشی اثربخشی عملی در بهبود رابطه والد–کودک نشان دادند. با این حال، رویکرد نظریه انتخاب با تأکید بر ارتباط همدلانه و درک نیازهای روان‌شناختی کودکان، در ایجاد پیوند عاطفی عمیق‌تر میان مادران و فرزندانشان مؤثرتر بود. پیشنهاد می‌شود برنامه‌های آتی آموزش والدین، هر دو رویکرد را برای حداکثرسازی اثربخشی مداخلات ادغام نمایند.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a growing public health concern in the Philippines, where new infections rose by about 550% between 2010 and 2024 and diagnosis gaps persist in CALABARZON. Nurses are often the first and most sustained point of contact in HIV testing and care, yet knowledge gaps, stigmatizing attitudes, and procedure-focused training may limit their ability to provide compassionate, person-centered counseling. This study aims to develop and validate a Caring-Based HIV Counseling Training Program for Nurses in Laguna, Philippines, using a methodological research design and a modified Delphi technique. Registered nurses from selected government and private healthcare facilities in Laguna will complete a researcher-developed training-needs assessment questionnaire covering six competency domains: HIV-related knowledge; counseling and therapeutic communication; caring behaviors and person-centered practice; ethical and legal responsibilities; cultural sensitivity and stigma reduction; and linkage to prevention, treatment, care, and support. The questionnaire will undergo expert review, pilot testing, and reliability testing using Cronbach’s alpha. The needs-assessment findings, together with a review of current literature and guidelines, will inform a preliminary training program, which a multidisciplinary panel of approximately 15 to 20 experts will evaluate over successive anonymous Delphi rounds for relevance, clarity, comprehensiveness, cultural appropriateness, feasibility, and applicability. Consensus is defined in advance as at least 80% expert agreement, a median rating of at least 3.00, and an interquartile range of no more than 1.00. Content validity will be established through an Item-Level Content Validity Index of at least .78 and a Scale-Level Content Validity Index (average) of at least .90, overall agreement will be measured with Kendall’s coefficient of concordance, and the experts’ qualitative comments will undergo directed content analysis. The study is expected to produce an expert-validated, contextually relevant training program that strengthens nurses’ capacity to deliver compassionate, stigma-free HIV counseling, with its effectiveness to be tested in a future pilot or quasi-experimental study.

Assessment in Arabic language learning as a foreign language (Arabic as a Foreign Language) is currently undergoing a significant paradigm shift. This transformation is influenced by the development of digital technology, the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia, which emphasizes flexibility, differentiation, and learning personalization. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aimed at identifying, examining, and synthesizing developments, innovations, methodological approaches, and various challenges in the assessment of the four Arabic language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing, during the period from 2020 to early 2026. The review employed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to identify and analyze relevant literature. The findings indicate a shift from conventional evaluation systems based on discrete tests toward the implementation of Technology-Enhanced Assessment (TEA) and more authentic forms of assessment. The literature synthesis reveals several key findings. First, diagnostic assessment, encompassing both cognitive and non-cognitive aspects, plays an important role in designing differentiated learning within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. Second, the development of assessment instruments for Arabic language maharah is increasingly oriented toward measuring higher-order thinking skills (Higher Order Thinking Skills/HOTS). Third, the utilization of Generative AI, including ChatGPT, as well as various gamification-based learning platforms, has introduced new approaches to providing faster, more adaptive, and interactive feedback. Based on the synthesis, the effectiveness of modern assessment is not determined solely by the sophistication of the technology employed, but also by the alignment between technology and pedagogical objectives, the transparency of assessment procedures, and its ability to comprehensively represent learners' communicative competence while maintaining the principles of academic integrity.

The growth of short-form certifications requires a clear distinction between attendance certificates and credentials that provide evidence of specific learning outcomes. In Ecuador, a non-binding national technical instrument identifies a fragmented training supply, the absence of shared criteria, limited traceability, and weak links between higher education and the world of work. This study examined the relevance of implementing a national microcredential system and identified the academic, regulatory, and technological conditions required for its adoption. A qualitative documentary study with an analytical-propositional scope and comparative logic was conducted using a corpus of 46 sources published between 2015 and 2026. The analysis combined deductive and inductive thematic coding across seven categories and contrasted the Ecuadorian instrument with international regulations, technical standards, and specialized literature. The results were organized into nine findings concerning systemic relevance, technical-pedagogical design, verifiable assessment, conditional recognition, interoperable digital issuance, multilevel governance, and an informational registry. The evidence indicates that Ecuador has conceptual foundations for a national system, but shared standards are required before provision is expanded. The study concludes that a trustworthy micro credential should integrate six conditions: explicit learning outcomes, verifiable assessment, academic or labor-market relevance, interoperable digital issuance, standardized metadata, and conditional recognition. Without coherent interinstitutional governance, the expansion of short-form certificates may increase fragmentation and weaken their public value.

Assessment in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) at the elementary school level needs to document students’ knowledge, process skills, and character development continuously rather than relying solely on written test results. This study aimed to develop a flexible portfolio assessment instrument, determine its validity and practicality, and examine its perceived usefulness based on the fourth-grade teacher’s assessment at SD Negeri 075027 Silima Omo. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, comprising Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. The participants included three expert validators, one fourth-grade teacher, and 22 students, with 10 students participating in the small-group trial. The resulting product was a printed portfolio assessment instrument comprising seven integrated components. Validation results yielded mean scores of 3.83 for design, 3.75 for language, and 4.00 for evaluation on a four-point scale. The practicality score increased from 62.50% to 93.75%, while perceived usefulness increased from 64.29% to 85.71%. The small-group trial produced a mean portfolio score of 80.80. The instrument was considered suitable for use; however, inter-rater reliability and its effectiveness in improving learning outcomes require further empirical investigation. ABSTRAK Penilaian pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial (IPAS) di sekolah dasar perlu mencakup perkembangan pengetahuan, keterampilan proses, dan karakter murid secara berkelanjutan, bukan hanya berorientasi pada hasil tes tertulis.

Society 5.0 offers Islamic education new opportunities for personalized learning but also risks weakening intellectual agency, ethical judgment, and spiritual formation. This article analyzes the dialectic between technological modernization and the Islamization of knowledge to formulate a humanizing framework for Islamic education. It employs a qualitative integrative literature review supported by critical-philosophical and comparative-conceptual analysis. The synthesis proposes five interrelated dimensions: human dignity, epistemic verification, ethical responsibility, dialogical pedagogy, and accountable governance. These dimensions form the conceptual Humanization–Technology–Islamization of Knowledge Dialectic (DHT-IP) model, which proceeds through needs diagnosis, epistemic-ethical screening, pedagogical integration, and humanization evaluation. Technology is positioned as an instrument supporting learning and critical reasoning rather than replacing teachers’ moral judgment or learners’ responsibility. The model offers directions for curriculum, assessment, and institutional policy, while its effectiveness remains to be tested empirically across Islamic educational settings

Academic writing development in open and distance learning (ODL) environments remains challenging because students must independently regulate complex writing processes while receiving limited opportunities for continuous interaction and feedback. Existing digital learning platforms often emphasize assignment submission rather than supporting writing development as an iterative process involving planning, feedback utilization, reflection, and revision. This study aimed to develop and evaluate SIM-Aril as an online portfolio-based self-regulated feedback platform for supporting academic writing development in an ODL context. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design involving needs analysis, platform development, validation, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected from 122 students and 38 tutors through self-regulated writing questionnaires, tutor competency questionnaires, expert evaluation, and qualitative responses. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and exploratory factor analysis, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings demonstrate that SIM-Aril supported academic writing development through the integration of digital portfolio assessment, tutor scaffolding, and student self-regulated writing processes. Students demonstrated strong engagement in revision, feedback utilization, metacognitive monitoring, and other writing regulation activities. Tutor evaluation indicated that academic writing supervision represented an important component supporting SIM-Aril implementation. The integrated findings show that SIM-Aril functions not merely as a digital submission platform but as a self-regulated feedback ecosystem that connects learner autonomy, instructional support, and formative feedback. This study contributes theoretically by extending digital assessment research through a model that integrates individual self-regulation, socially shared regulation, and feedback literacy within technology-supported academic writing environments. Practically, the findings suggest that effective digital assessment in ODL should be designed to support learning processes rather than only evaluate final outcomes.

Although Kurikulum Merdeka promotes flexible, student-centered learning, the implementation of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) instruction in elementary schools continues to face various challenges. This study aimed to describe the challenges in implementing IPAS instruction under Kurikulum Merdeka in Grade V at SD Negeri 005 Desa Baru, Kampar Regency. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving two fifth-grade teachers and six purposively selected students. Three students had IPAS scores above 75, and three had scores below 75. Data were collected through nonparticipant observation, structured interviews, and documentation and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data trustworthiness was assessed through triangulation of sources and data collection techniques. The findings identified three domains of challenges related to students, teachers, and learning assessment. Student-related challenges were the most prominent, including differences in understanding, declining attention after approximately 15–20 minutes of lecturing, interest that depended on the type of activity, uneven participation, dependence on external motivation, inconsistent task management, and varying levels of learning readiness. Teacher-related challenges included the breadth of integrated science and social studies content and classroom management during group activities. Assessment involved oral quizzes and student worksheets, supplemented by remedial instruction and enrichment. Achievement scores ranged from 60 to 96, with a mastery threshold of 75. These findings underscore the need for differentiated instruction, concrete and contextually relevant instructional media, clearly assigned group roles, time management, and the use of assessment results to improve instruction. This study provides a contextual account of challenges in IPAS instruction and the need to adapt fifth-grade teaching practices. Its restriction to one school and a focused observation period highlights the need for further research covering more lessons and IPAS topics.

Foundational literacy is central to participation and subsequent learning, yet the instructional routes through which beginning readers encounter print are not equally accessible to all learners. In Tanzania, renewed attention to systematic phonics and early-grade reading has increased the relevance of decodable texts: texts designed to give learners opportunities to apply previously taught grapheme–phoneme correspondences. Their instructional value, however, cannot be assessed only in terms of the linguistic structure of the text. Classroom activities, teacher directions, response requirements, assessment procedures, and available formats can either widen or restrict access. This scoping review maps literature and policy- and curriculum-related evidence concerning decodable or phonics-oriented early reading in Tanzanian primary education and examines the extent to which the evidence engages with accessibility, learner variability, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The review follows PRISMA-ScR and considers literature published between 2014 and 2026. The synthesis indicates a plausible pedagogical alignment between controlled text and the development of decoding, while also revealing a major gap in directly tested evidence on inclusive adaptations of decodable materials in Tanzania. Across the mapped literature, accessibility is more often treated as an implementation concern than as a design principle embedded in reading materials from the outset. The review therefore advances the concept of inclusive decodable-text pedagogy, in which systematic phonics is retained while unnecessary sensory, motor, speech, and communication barriers are reduced through multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. Implications are developed for curriculum design, teacher education, classroom practice, formative assessment, and future research. The central conclusion is that decodability and accessibility should be treated as complementary properties: a text may be linguistically decodable yet still be instructionally inaccessible if participation depends on a single route that is unrelated to the intended literacy skill.

The increasing use of computers, predominantly involving prolonged static sitting, may increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aims to examine workstation ergonomic risk and musculoskeletal disorders among computer users through a literature review based on the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and Google Scholar for articles published between 2020 and 2025, following PRISMA guidelines. A total of nine studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed narratively. The results indicate that most studies reported moderate to high levels of ergonomic risk, with chair-related factors as the dominant contributors. The prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints was also high, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and lower back. However, the relationship between ROSA scores and musculoskeletal complaints was inconsistent across studies, suggesting the influence of multifactorial determinants. Therefore, ROSA is more appropriately used as a screening tool for ergonomic risk, while NMQ complements it by capturing subjective complaints. The combined use of both instruments is essential to support a more comprehensive ergonomic assessment and the development of effective interventions.

This study aims to analyze the effect of using gamification-based Quizizz as a digital assessment on the learning motivation and engagement of grade X Building Construction and Housing Engineering students in the Basic Building Construction and Housing Engineering course at SMKN 3 Surabaya. This research examines how Quizizz assessments integrated with gamification influence motivation and learning engagement among 10th-grade students majoring in Building and Housing Construction Engineering in the Basic of Building and Housing Construction Engineering course at SMKN 3 Surabaya. A quantitative experiment was conducted using a single-group pretest–posttest design, and all 33 students in the population participated through total sampling. Data were collected via a Likert scale questionnaire and observation sheets, then analyzed using the paired t-test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, effect size calculations, and N-Gain. The research findings indicate that Quizizz combined with gamification did not result in a significant change in students’ learning motivation (Sig. = 0.769 > 0.05; effect size = 0.05), but it significantly increased learning engagement (Sig. = 0.027 < 0.05; effect size = 0.384). Observational data support this, showing an engagement rate of 86.67% (classified as very high). Therefore, Quizizz-based gamification appears to be more suitable for enhancing engagement than motivation in technical vocational subjects. Gamification-based Quizizz has proven to be more effective in enhancing learning engagement than learning motivation in technical vocational subjects. Teachers are advised to combine Quizizz with additional strategies, such as linking the material to real-world construction work contexts, in order to foster students’ learning motivation more comprehensively.

Chronobiology studies indicate that individuals are regulated by three timers: social, solar, and biological. Environmental and behavioral changes can modify the sleep–wake cycle. Many university students adopt nighttime study habits, interfering with the circadian rhythm. Sleep restriction or poor sleep quality compromises memory and significantly reduces academic performance. This study aimed to verify whether there is an association between sleep quality and academic performance among nursing and medical students at a public university in Alagoas, Brazil. This is an observational, cross-sectional, and quantitative study conducted with 137 Nursing and Medical students, selected through stratified probabilistic sampling. Data collection included a sociodemographic questionnaire to characterize the sample, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ), and academic self-assessment. Data were analyzed for normality, and associations were tested using Pearson and Spearman correlations (SciPy – Python). Among the 137 students, 65.7% were women, 70.1% were between 19 and 24 years old, 67.9% rated their academic performance between 7.0 and 8.9, and 66.4% presented poor sleep quality. Negative correlations between the PSQI and self-assessment variables (r = -0.368; p < 0.001 for Pearson; r = -0.360; p < 0.001 for Spearman) reinforce the importance of sleep quality in the academic context. The findings highlight the urgency of interventions that promote sleep hygiene education and strategies to improve rest quality, reducing the likelihood of problems that may negatively impact students’ academic performance.

Student diversity poses a continuing challenge in higher education, particularly when common learning objectives must be maintained while providing flexibility in learning resources, activities, interaction, support, and assessment. This study examined students’ perceptions and acceptance of digitally supported differentiated learning in Information Technology Education. A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted with 35 students at Universitas Lampung, Indonesia, after the learning experience. Data were collected using a 31-item questionnaire rated on a four-point Likert scale, with reported high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.985), and were analyzed using means, standard deviations, and normalized mean scores. Students rated the five implementation dimensions favorably (M = 3.28, 81.88%). Digital pedagogical design received the highest rating (M = 3.34, 83.45%), whereas product and assessment differentiation received the lowest (M = 3.18, 79.57%). Technology-supported collaboration was the highest-rated individual item (M = 3.49, 87.14%), whereas choices in presentation formats and the timeliness of digital feedback received lower ratings. The secondary acceptance summary was similarly favorable (M = 3.31, 82.74%), with increased learning motivation receiving the highest rating. These findings identify digital support and collaboration as perceived strengths of the learning design, while flexibility in student products and the timeliness of feedback warrant further attention. Given the single-cohort, post-only design and absence of objective learning-outcome measures, the findings should be interpreted as context-specific evidence of students’ perceptions of implementation rather than evidence of causal effects on learning.

The rapid integration of digital technologies into teaching, learning, and assessment has created new avenues through which technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) may occur in school settings. Existing scholarship has examined TFGBV mainly through the lenses of cyberbullying, digital safety, and student well-being. At the same time, emerging work has also begun to conceptualise digital assessment systems as sites of structural and institutional gendered risk. Building on this systems-level perspective, this conceptual paper shifts attention to the pedagogical and interactional layer of digital assessment, examining how teachers' assessment design and oversight decisions may shape the conditions under which TFGBV becomes more or less likely. Developed through a critical interdisciplinary literature review, the paper draws on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, digital citizenship frameworks, and classroom assessment scholarship to examine how learning management systems, peer assessment tools, collaborative online assignments, and social media-integrated assessment activities may create conditions conducive to gendered harassment, image-based abuse, and exclusionary behaviour among learners of all genders. The paper proposes the Assessment-Mediated Digital Ethics (AMDE) framework, a theoretically grounded but not yet empirically validated model integrating gender-responsive assessment design, embedded digital behavioural expectations, and structured teacher oversight. AMDE is presented as a complementary pedagogical extension of existing justice-oriented approaches to digital assessment and TFGBV, rather than as a claim of first conceptualisation. The framework provides a basis for future empirical research examining teacher-mediated assessment practices and their relationship to digital safety, ethical participation, and TFGBV risk across diverse educational contexts. Responsibility for TFGBV prevention is understood as shared among teachers, learners, schools, families, technology providers, and policymakers.

Background: Midwifery laboratories are essential for developing clinical competencies, yet service quality and resource adequacy are frequently assessed separately. Objectives: This study aimed to develop and internally evaluate an integrated instrument for assessing midwifery laboratory quality. Methods: Five experts validated the instrument, and 446 midwifery students with laboratory experience completed a 44 item questionnaire. Psychometric evaluation included content validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), preliminary confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Rasch analysis, and internal consistency testing. Results: The average scale content validity index was 0.982. EFA identified six factors explaining 56.96% of total variance, with the first factor contributing 44.02%. Preliminary CFA demonstrated X²/df = 2.240, RMSEA = 0.053, SRMR = 0.041, GFI = 0.991, CFI = 0.898, and TLI = 0.886. Rasch person reliability was 0.969, whereas item reliability was 0.641. Cronbach alpha reached 0.970, with corrected item total correlations ranging from 0.561 to 0.739. Conclusions: The instrument demonstrated promising internal psychometric properties for evaluating midwifery laboratory quality. However, independent external validation and comprehensive ordinal and Rasch diagnostics remain necessary before broader implementation.

زمینه: آزمایشگاه‌های مامایی برای توسعه شایستگی‌های بالینی ضروری هستند، اما کیفیت خدمات و کفایت منابع اغلب به طور جداگانه ارزیابی می‌شوند. اهداف: این مطالعه با هدف تدوین و ارزیابی درونی یک ابزار یکپارچه برای ارزیابی کیفیت آزمایشگاه‌های مامایی انجام شد. روش‌ها: ابزار توسط پنج نفر از خبرگان اعتبارسنجی شد و ۴۴۶ دانشجوی مامایی با تجربه آزمایشگاهی به پرسشنامه‌ای ۴۴ ماده‌ای پاسخ دادند. ارزیابی ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی شامل روایی محتوا، تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی (EFA)، تحلیل عاملی تأییدی مقدماتی (CFA)، تحلیل Rasch و آزمون پایایی درونی بود. نتایج: شاخص روایی محتوا برای مقیاس به طور میانگین ۰.۹۸۲ بود. تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی شش عامل را شناسایی کرد که ۵۶.۹۶٪ از واریانس کل را تبیین کردند و عامل اول ۴۴.۰۲٪ سهم داشت. تحلیل عاملی تأییدی مقدماتی شاخص‌های X²/df = ۲.۲۴۰، RMSEA = ۰.۰۵۳، SRMR = ۰.۰۴۱، GFI = ۰.۹۹۱، CFI = ۰.۸۹۸ و TLI = ۰.۸۸۶ را نشان داد. پایایی فردی Rasch برابر با ۰.۹۶۹ و پایایی ماده Rasch برابر با ۰.۶۴۱ بود. آلفای کرونباخ به ۰.۹۷۰ رسید و همبستگی کل-ماده تصحیح‌شده بین ۰.۵۶۱ تا ۰.۷۳۹ بود. نتیجه‌گیری: ابزار مذکور ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی درونی امیدوارکننده‌ای برای ارزیابی کیفیت آزمایشگاه‌های مامایی نشان داد. با این حال، اعتبارسنجی خارجی مستقل و تشخیص‌های جامع ترتیبی و Rasch پیش از اجرای گسترده‌تر ضروری است.

Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP) connects language instruction with learners’ academic or occupational domains, but adapting specialized contexts for absolute beginners presents a design problem: disciplinary relevance may introduce linguistic demands that exceed the learners’ capacity. This conceptual paper proposes a curriculum-aligned procedure for contextualizing elementary Arabic conversation tasks for university accounting students without claiming to teach technical accounting discourse. Drawing on scholarship concerning ASP, needs analysis, task-based language teaching, constructive alignment, and beginner-level interaction, it develops a four-stage procedure: identify a communicative function, select a plausible accounting-related context, check linguistic and interactional demands, and specify observable evidence of performance. Six illustrative task adaptations demonstrate its application to introductions, occupations, locations, colleagues, appointments, and documents. These tasks are original, hypothetical designs rather than observed classroom activities or responses to empirically established learner needs. A proposed set of decision checks distinguishes contextual relevance from occupational authenticity, and genuine oral exchange from scripted reproduction. The framework offers a bounded starting point for needs analysis, expert review, and empirical evaluation.

عربی برای مقاصد خاص (ASP) آموزش زبان را با حوزه‌های آکادمیک یا شغلی زبان‌آموزان پیوند می‌دهد، اما تطبیق زمینه‌های تخصصی برای مبتدیان مطلق یک مسئله طراحی ایجاد می‌کند: ارتباط دیسیپلین‌محور ممکن است الزامات زبانی را فراتر از ظرفیت زبان‌آموزان وارد کند. این مقاله مفهومی، رویه‌ای هم‌راستا با برنامه درسی را برای زمینه‌سازی تکالیف مکالمه عربی مقدماتی برای دانشجویان حسابداری دانشگاهی پیشنهاد می‌کند، بدون آنکه ادعای آموزش گفتمان حسابداری فنی را داشته باشد. با استناد به پژوهش‌های مربوط به ASP، تحلیل نیازها، آموزش زبان مبتنی بر تکلیف، هم‌سازگاری سازنده‌گرا و تعامل در سطح مبتدی، رویه‌ای چهارمرحله‌ای توسعه می‌یابد: شناسایی یک کارکرد ارتباطی، انتخاب یک زمینه قابل قبول مرتبط با حسابداری، بررسی الزامات زبانی و تعاملی، و مشخص کردن شواهد قابل مشاهده از عملکرد. شش نمونه تطبیق تکلیف، کاربرد آن را در معرفی‌ها، مشاغل، مکان‌ها، همکاران، قرارها و اسناد نشان می‌دهد. این تکالیف طراحی‌های اصیل و فرضی هستند، نه فعالیت‌های کلاسی مشاهده‌شده یا پاسخ‌هایی به نیازهای زبان‌آموزان که از نظر تجربی ثابت شده‌اند. مجموعه‌ای از چک‌لیست‌های تصمیم‌گیری پیشنهادی، ارتباط زمینه‌ای را از اصالت شغلی، و تبادل شفاهی واقعی را از بازتولید سناریو-محور تمایز می‌دهد. این چارچوب یک نقطه شروع محدود برای تحلیل نیازها، بازبینی توسط متخصصان و ارزیابی تجربی ارائه می‌دهد.

Teacher assessment literacy has received increasing attention, yet evidence remains fragmented across studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized 18 studies comprising 21 independent samples using the ALI, CALI, and TALQ instruments. The pooled mean score was 16.48 (95% CI [14.86, 18.10]) on a 35-point scale, indicating low assessment literacy, with substantial between-study heterogeneity (I² = 99.21%). Publication year, geographical region, instrument type, teacher status, teaching level, and subject specialization were not significant moderators. This review provides the first quantitative benchmark of teacher assessment literacy across the ALI, CALI, and TALQ instruments and highlights the need to strengthen assessment literacy through pre-service education, continuous professional development, and context-responsive educational policies.

Against the backdrop of deepening industry-education integration in vocational education and AI-driven digital transformation, productive teaching projects face not only the perennial challenge of transforming authentic production tasks into teachable activities, but also new challenges such as rapid resource obsolescence, heterogeneous learner foundations, and insufficient evidence for process-based assessment. Taking the “Deployment and Maintenance of a Navigation Data Storage Platform” task from the Yangtze River Trunk-Line Ship Water Pollutant Joint Supervision and Service Information System as a case, this study builds on the six-stage process of Select→Deconstruct→Define→Transform→Integrate→Extend and develops a human–AI collaborative mechanism characterized by real projects as the carrier, job competencies as the main line, and AI-supported cognition as the support. To strengthen AI empowerment across project development and implementation, AI is embedded in project selection, work-process deconstruction, competency definition, teaching-task transformation, curriculum integration, and resource expansion, and is integrated with IDEAL project-based learning, multi-stakeholder whole-process assessment, “dual-teacher + AI assistant” collaboration, and a blended virtual–real training environment. This study provides a reference for IT-related programs seeking to build replicable and iteratively improvable AI-empowered productive teaching projects.

Introduction: Registered dietitians (RDs) are frequently asked to provide guidance and expertise on dietary supplements; however, few assessment tools are available to objectively evaluate their knowledge in this area. A standardized instrument may help identify educational gaps and support the development of supplement-related competencies within dietetics education and practice. Methods: The 25-item Dietary Supplement Knowledge Assessment Tool for Registered Dietitians (DSKAT-RD) was developed to assess key areas of dietary supplement knowledge, including safety, efficacy, regulation, quality, and evidence-based research. Twelve subject-matter experts independently rated the relevance of each item on a 4-point scale. Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI) values were calculated, with ratings of 3 or 4 considered content valid and ≥0.78 considered acceptable. Quantitative ratings and qualitative feedback guided revisions for clarity, accuracy, relevance, and response-option quality. Revised items were reviewed by a 3-member expert subgroup until consensus was reached. Results: Expert review demonstrated high content validity for the DSKAT-RD. Item-level Content Validity Index (I-CVI) values ranged from 0.75 to 1.00, with 24 of 25 items (96%) meeting the predefined acceptability criterion of ≥0.78. Nineteen items (76%) achieved an I-CVI of 1.00, and the Scale-Level Content Validity Index using the average method (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.97. Six items underwent additional review and revision based on quantitative ratings and qualitative expert feedback related to wording, response options, scientific or regulatory accuracy, and content alignment. Following secondary review by three subject-matter experts, all 25 items were retained in the final instrument. Conclusions: The DSKAT-RD demonstrated strong evidence of content validity and provides a structured method for assessing dietary supplement knowledge among RDs.

Digital transformation is reshaping school management and creating new demands for leadership competencies, decision-making, and resource allocation. This study examines the development of management competencies among general secondary school principals in Uzbekistan and proposes an organizational and economic mechanism to support their professional growth. Drawing on scientific literature, functional analysis, and process modelling, the research identifies key factors influencing effective school leadership in a digital environment. The proposed mechanism integrates competency assessment, targeted professional development, collaborative implementation, and systematic evaluation of managerial performance. Particular attention is given to evidence-based decision-making, efficient resource management, and staff coordination. The findings provide a conceptual foundation for strengthening school governance and improving organizational practices while highlighting the need for further empirical validation.

Despite global advances in digital pedagogy, structured professional development that integrates technology into martial arts instruction remains scarce. Grounded in the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, this explanatory sequential mixed-methods study examined the self-described TPACK proficiency of Wushu teachers and the specific proficiency gaps they experience in practice. A researcher-developed questionnaire was administered to a random sample of Wushu teachers, and ten of them were subsequently interviewed. Quantitative findings indicate that teachers are generally proficient across all three TPACK domains (overall M = 2.98, SD = 0.26), with Content Knowledge ranking highest (M = 3.01) and Technological Knowledge lowest (M = 2.96). Qualitative findings, however, revealed three concrete gaps: limited use of mobile and wearable technologies, absence of standardized tools for performance assessment, and inadequate understanding of biomechanics and physical conditioning principles. The study concludes that Wushu teachers possess strong mastery of technique and instructional strategy but require targeted development in technology integration, objective assessment, and the science of movement. A four-module ITM-Wushu (Integrated TPACK Training Model for Wushu Teachers) is proposed to address these gaps. Implications for teacher education and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The validity of assessment instruments is a crucial aspect in ensuring the quality of learning evaluations in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). However, there are still evaluation instruments that are developed without considering the alignment of indicators, constructs, and measurement objectives, which may result in inaccurate data. This study aims to examine the concepts, types, testing procedures, and methods for determining the validity of assessment instruments through a literature review. The method used is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained from various books, scientific journals, and relevant documents, and then analyzed descriptively. The results of the study indicate that the validity of an instrument encompasses logical validity and empirical validity, which complement each other in ensuring the accuracy of measurements. Validity testing was conducted systematically through construct definition, development of a test blueprint, expert validation, instrument pilot testing, and statistical analysis. A valid instrument is capable of producing data that is accurate, credible, and supports sound educational decision-making.

The study aimed to analyze the impact of implementing instructional sequences on strengthening the teaching of Spanish Language and Social Sciences at the primary level in Regional 02, San Juan, Dominican Republic. A quantitative approach was adopted, using a non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive design. The participants comprised 498 individuals, including 463 teachers and 35 district-level educational specialists. Structured questionnaires were administered, and the data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The results revealed a favorable assessment of the implementation of instructional sequences, particularly regarding the progressive organization of activities, activation of prior knowledge, student participation, oral and written production, and learning monitoring. Teachers also perceived improvements in lesson planning, organization, and assessment practices. However, district-level specialists identified areas requiring further consolidation, particularly the alignment between planning and classroom practice, the correspondence between activities and learning evidence, the use of educational resources, and pedagogical support. Challenges related to available instructional time and the need to make adaptations during implementation were also identified. It is concluded that instructional sequences have a favorable impact on strengthening teaching, although their consolidation requires systematic monitoring, teacher training, and contextualization of instructional proposals.

Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are an essential mechanism for collaborative professional learning of teachers. However, evidence remains limited on the specific activities secondary school Biology teachers engage in within PLCs and their perceived contribution to competence-based teaching in Tanzania. This study investigated the PLC activities conducted by secondary school Biology teachers in Dodoma City and their perceived contribution to competence-based teaching practices. Social Constructivist Theory guided the study. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 103 Biology teachers in 60 randomly selected public and private secondary schools and analysed using descriptive statistics. The key findings show that teachers engaged mainly in practice-oriented activities: collaborative lesson planning (83.5% of respondents) and peer observation (52.4%) were the only activities reported by more than half of the teachers, whereas setting and reviewing goals (21.4%) and action research and inquiry-based learning (16.5%) were the least practised. Teachers rated the contribution of PLC activities to competence-based teaching as great on all six indicators (M = 3.99–4.18). The strongest contributions were in preparing competence-based lesson plans integrating lessons into real-life situations and involving students in classroom activities, while formative assessment received the lowest, though still high, rating. These findings imply that PLCs benefit learners by helping teachers deliver more learner-centred, contextualised, and participatory lessons, which are the classroom conditions through which competence-based learning and academic performance are improved. The study recommends strengthening inquiry-oriented PLC activities, particularly action research and the collaborative analysis of assessment evidence, so that PLCs can more fully support learners’ achievement.

Abstract Educational tracking shapes students’ learning opportunities, yet isolating its effects from prior selection remains a key challenge in large-scale assessment research. This study examines both the size and the mechanisms of academic-track advantages by integrating longitudinal population-level administrative data from INVALSI with school- and student-level indicators from PISA 2018 in Italy. Focusing on lyceums versus technical schools, we exploit rich pre-tracking information on achievement, socio-demographic background, and early attitudes, and apply entropy balancing to adjust for selection into tracks. Results show that achievement gaps at Grade 10 are large across domains, but substantially reduced once differences in prior competencies and backgrounds are accounted for. Nonetheless, a meaningful academic-track advantage persists after balancing. Decomposition analyses indicate that this residual gap is largely explained by differences in school environments, particularly classroom academic and SES composition alongside school climate, while instructional practices and organizational policies or school resources contribute little on average. The findings support a dual interpretation of tracking effects, combining cumulative selection and exposure to differentiated learning contexts, and highlight the value of linking administrative panels with international assessment data to study both outcomes and mechanisms of educational stratification.

Research on fitrah-based education is mostly conceptual or situated in early childhood and primary schools; its implementation in junior high schools bound by the national curriculum remains underexplored. This qualitative case study describes the forms of implementation, strategies for developing students' academic and spiritual potential, supporting and inhibiting factors, and implications for students at SMP Ar-Rauf Tangerang. Data came from interviews with seven informants, observation, and documents, analyzed with the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. Four forms of implementation emerged: an integrated curriculum, learning centered on students' uniqueness, narrative assessment (Rapor Fitrah), and a nurturing school culture. Potential was developed through talent mapping, personalized Qur'an memorization, nature-based entrepreneurship, and differentiated instruction. Educator vision, parental involvement, and the environment supported implementation; tension with the national curriculum, teacher workload, and varied parental understanding inhibited it. The study proposes the Formal School Fitrah Ecosystem model.

Early literacy and numeracy assessment can help Kindergarten teachers identify learning needs and review classroom instruction. This study described changes in assessment scores following nine instructional sessions aligned with the MATATAG Curriculum at Ligao West Central Elementary School–Binatagan, Philippines, during School Year 2025–2026. A quantitative action research approach used a single group assessed before and after instruction. The reported participants were 208 learners from five Kindergarten sections, included through total enumeration. Researcher developed instruments assessed letter recognition, initial sound awareness, vocabulary recognition, number recognition, counting, and quantity comparison. The same instruments were administered at both assessment points. Reported numeracy means increased from 18.84 (SD = 4.56) to 28.47 (SD = 3.89), a difference of 9.63 points. Literacy means were reported as 21.36 (SD = 4.18) and 30.92 (SD = 3.74), but the latter exceeds the instrument’s stated maximum of 30 points and requires reconciliation before interpretation. Although the original study proposed paired samples testing, no completed test statistics or paired learner records were available for verification. Accordingly, the findings are presented descriptively, without claims of statistical significance or curriculum effectiveness. The numeracy pattern warrants further examination, while the literacy result remains unresolved. Repeated testing, development, classroom differences, and the absence of a comparison group limit attribution of change to instruction. The study highlights the need for accurate scoring, documented assessment procedures, and continued monitoring of foundational skills. Verified learner records and a stronger evaluation design are needed before drawing conclusions about learning gains associated with MATATAG implementation in this school.

The effectiveness of young football players’ athletic training is determined by the interaction of physical, technical, tactical, theoretical, integrated, and psychological components. In team sports, communicative and organizational inclinations are of particular importance as psychological prerequisites for effective interaction and the realization of leadership potential. Purpose. To identify and compare the age-related characteristics of communicative and organizational inclinations in young football players and to determine their role in the implementation of leadership functions in team activities. Materials and methods. To achieve the aim of the study, an analysis was conducted analysis of scientific and methodological literature, comparison, psychological assessment using the «Assessment of Communicative and Organizational Inclinations» by V. V. Sinyavskyi and B. O. Fedorishyn, and methods of mathematical statistics, including the Kruskal–Wallis test. The study involved three groups of football players (n=108): aged 9–10 (n=33), 13–14 (n=37), and 16–17 years (n=38) from Children and Youth Sports Schools in Kyiv.Results. Significant individual variability in the indicators was established. Communicative inclinations were found to be more developed than organizational inclinations. Their mean values were 3.00±1.58, 2.92±1.40, and 3.21±1.45 points, respectively, across the three age groups, while organizational inclinations were 2.03±1.33, 2.24±1.42, and 2.34±1.38 points. The oldest group demonstrated a higher proportion of athletes with high and very high levels of communicative inclinations, whereas a low level predominated in organizational inclinations across all age groups. No statistically significant age-related differences were found in communicative (H=0.75; p=0.69) or organizational inclinations (H=1.11; p=0.57). Conclusions. Communicative and organizational inclinations are important psychological prerequisites, but not direct indicators, of leadership function implementation. The communicative component creates prerequisites for information, motivational, mediating, and representative functions, while the organizational component contributes to planning, coordination, and responsibility-taking. The findings support the need for targeted development of these characteristics and the application of distributed leadership principles.

The rapid proliferation of generative artificial intelligence in educational contexts has transformed how students encounter academic content, yet a fundamental question remains underexamined: Do English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners possess the critical literacy competencies needed to evaluate AI-generated texts? This study investigated whether students in Morocco’s Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles (CPGE)—one of the nation’s most academically selective post-secondary programs—demonstrate readiness for AI-era literacy demands. We developed a diagnostic assessment instrument, the Critical Reading Diagnostic Assessment (CRDA), designed to mirror common characteristics of AI-generated academic content: a confident, authoritative tone, a logical structure with subtle gaps, claims requiring verification, and culturally embedded assumptions. Thirty first-year CPGE students (M age = 18.6 years) evaluated argumentative passages across five critical dimensions: argument identification, evidence evaluation, assumption recognition, multi-source synthesis, and source criticism. Metacognitive self-assessment data were also collected. Results revealed systematic evaluation failures across all dimensions, with mean accuracy rates of only 18–39% and large effect sizes confirming substantial deficits (d = 1.11–2.25). Metacognitive analysis showed that students overestimated their abilities by 11–38 percentage points across all dimensions, indicating profound self-assessment inaccuracies.

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that typically develop during adolescence or early adulthood and may have a significant adverse impact on both physical and mental health. The main types of eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, all of which are characterized by altered eating behaviours and associated health problems (Robatto et al., 2024). Eating disorders may be associated with a range of psychological and somatic complications, including depression, anxiety, cardiovascular and endocrine disorders, as well as an increased risk of mortality (Mushtaq et al., 2023). The effects of these disorders may also manifest in the oral cavity. Therefore, in dental hygiene practice, particular importance should be placed on the early recognition of potential oral health changes, individualized assessment of the patient’s oral health status, and the selection of appropriate preventive measures. Dental hygienists may play an important role not only in the prevention of oral diseases but also in the early recognition of oral manifestations potentially associated with eating disorders and in encouraging patients to seek timely multidisciplinary professional care.

Vocabulary support in early secondary education needs to reflect differences in learners’ reading readiness and opportunities to use words meaningfully. This study examined reported reading profiles and vocabulary ratings from six public secondary schools in Pio Duran, Albay, Philippines, to inform the development of supplementary vocabulary material. A descriptive analysis was conducted using school assessment summaries, teacher informed vocabulary ratings, and curricular appraisal frequencies documented in the thesis. Reading categories were treated as indicators of reading performance rather than direct measures of vocabulary mastery. School summaries generally showed fewer learners in the frustration category at posttest and more learners in instructional or independent categories. Vocabulary ratings increased across the six schools, from baseline values of 1.67–3.12 to posttest values of 2.06–3.90. However, identical scores across generalization, application, breadth, and precision prevented separate interpretation of these dimensions. Recomputed appraisal means were 4.93 for content quality, 4.94 for format, and 4.92 for presentation and organization on the reported five point scale. Accuracy ratings also identified minor errors requiring editorial attention. The supplementary material was organized around progressively demanding vocabulary tasks, contextual use, and differentiated support. Findings provide a local basis for refining instructional resources, but they do not establish intervention effectiveness. Inconsistent participant totals, incomplete documentation of assessment procedures, and discrepancies in validation records limit interpretation. Verification of the original records and a subsequent classroom evaluation are needed before stronger claims can be made. The study supports alignment between learner evidence, material design, and the scope of conclusions drawn from school assessments.

This research explores the critical intersection of consistency, standards and complexity in academic assessment integrity using focus groups consisting of academic staff and undergraduate nursing students. While academic quality standards are mandated by accreditation bodies to ensure accountability and skill acquisition, the marking process remains a complex, intuitive task heavily reliant on a marker's experience and practicality. Significant challenges arise when marking becomes overly criteria-driven at the expense of core assessment goals, leading to variability in judging relevant student ideas or specific technical skills such as referencing. Such variability undermines the reliability and objectivity essential for assessment fairness. To mitigate these risks, pre-marking meetings are identified as essential for establishing shared requirements and expectations among staff. Strategic timing of these supports, ideally pre-semester, provides the necessary framework for quality assurance and enables markers to make meaningful and accurate judgements regarding a student’s true knowledge and performance.

Background: Examination periods can coincide with psychological stress, sleep difficulties, and uncertainty about academic performance. Students may continue to feel tense while waiting for results or further assessment, particularly when they are unsure how well they answered the examination questions. Objective: To describe students’ reported stress and sleep difficulties before and after examinations at Gori State University and European University, and to explore themes appearing in anonymous open-ended questionnaire responses. Methods: The study is described as a comparative questionnaire study involving 50 students, with 25 participants from each university. Anonymous questionnaires were administered before and after an examination. The questionnaire asked about stress, sleep, feeling tired or sleepless, waiting for further assessment or results, and students’ perceptions of how they had answered the test. Results: The preliminary account supplied for this draft indicates that sleep difficulty associated with stress and concern while waiting for further assessment were recurring concerns in open-ended responses. The initial estimate was approximately 5% of students reporting satisfaction with their answers. With 50 participants, the closest possible whole-person counts are 2 students (4%) or 3 students (6%); the original questionnaires must be checked to establish which count is correct. No further frequency estimates or statistical tests are reported because participant-level data were not provided for analysis. Conclusion: Anonymous pre- and post-examination questionnaires may help educators identify students’ concerns about sleep, stress, and uncertainty. Findings should be interpreted as preliminary until response counts, scoring procedures, ethics information, and the exact number of students reporting satisfaction are verified.

This reflective essay examines the establishment of the Research Guild in King’s Digital, a department at King’s College London specialising in online and blended postgraduate education. The Research Guild is an internally created, mentor-supported community of practice designed to help professional services staff engage more confidently in educational research and scholarship. Using an autoethnographic approach and a systems thinking lens, I explore how the Guild emerged in response to a recurring pattern: teams highly effective at delivery but lacking time, infrastructure and perceived legitimacy to undertake inquiry. The essay describes how mentoring through the ALT ELESIG Scholar Scheme, a training needs analysis survey and three structured development pathways (literature review, conference participation and research projects) combined to make evidence-seeking feel more normal, safe and worthwhile. I highlight key outcomes and persistent tensions around time, equity and sustainability, arguing that staff development is most transformative when treated as a deliberately designed ecosystem of scaffolds, feedback loops and shared identity rather than a series of isolated activities.

Background Assessing dance performance in physical education teacher education (PETE) requires judges to integrate technical and aesthetic qualities. Analytic rubrics make relevant dimensions explicit, whereas Adaptive Comparative Judgment (ACJ) elicits holistic pairwise decisions and produces a relative performance scale. This study compared the outcomes and student perceptions associated with the two approaches. Methods Seventeen pre-service teachers assessed 46 video-recorded student dance performances using an analytic rubric and ACJ. An expert reference was derived from five PETE lecturers who had assessed the performances live using the rubric and subsequently evaluated the video recordings through ACJ. Analyses examined rubric reliability and ACJ precision, convergence between method-derived rankings, student–expert rank alignment, cross-condition rubric score differences, and students’ perceptions of ease of use, usefulness, transparency, and fairness. Results Rubric- and ACJ-derived rankings were strongly associated within the student panel (Spearman's ρ = .863) and the expert reference panel ( ρ = .879). Aggregated student rankings also aligned closely with the expert-reference rankings under rubric scoring ( ρ = .890) and ACJ ( ρ = .888), with no clear difference in alignment between the methods. Aggregated student rubric scores showed high reliability, ICC(2,17) = .955, while ACJ scale separation reliability was .780 for students and .836 for experts. Student video-based rubric scores were, on average, 0.77 points higher than the archived live expert consensus scores. Students perceived ACJ as easier to use but the analytic rubric as more transparent. Perceived usefulness did not differ clearly, while fairness ratings descriptively favored the rubric. Conclusion Analytic rubric scoring and ACJ produced strongly convergent aggregate rankings, and the aggregated student panel differentiated relative performance quality in ways closely aligned with the expert reference under both approaches. However, the methods differed in score interpretation and perceived transparency. The results support considering ACJ as a complementary approach for digitally supported assessment and moderation rather than as a direct replacement for criterion-based summative assessment.

Qur’an memorization programs in Madrasah Tsanawiyah require alignment between memorization achievement, recitation accuracy, long-term retention, and learning support. An emphasis on the quantity of memorized material alone provides an incomplete account of program quality and sustainability. This study examines strategies for implementing Qur’an memorization programs by exploring the relationships among learning approaches, evaluation, and supporting factors. It adopts a qualitative approach using a narrative literature review design. Sources comprise scholarly articles on Qur’an memorization, educational management, memory, assessment, and learning motivation. Materials were collected through document review and examined using narrative analysis to interpret arguments, compare findings within their contexts, and explain relationships across concepts. The review indicates that tahfidz instruction should connect recitation guidance, the acquisition of new memorization, retrieval practice, and the continuous review of previously memorized material. Assessment can inform instructional adjustments when it addresses recitation accuracy, fluency, retention, and individual progress. Teacher competence, psychological support, family involvement, and institutional scheduling provide complementary support for implementing these adjustments. Taken together, the literature suggests that program strategies should connect students’ learning needs, instructional practices, assessment information, and follow-up actions. This interpretation offers a basis for reviewing tahfidz practices in Madrasah Tsanawiyah, while its application requires attention to students’ characteristics and institutional resources. The conclusions represent a synthesis of the reviewed literature rather than evidence of the effectiveness of a tested program model. [Program tahfidz Al-Qur’an di Madrasah Tsanawiyah memerlukan keselarasan antara capaian hafalan, ketepatan bacaan, retensi jangka panjang, dan dukungan belajar. Penekanan pada jumlah materi yang dihafal saja belum memberikan gambaran utuh tentang mutu dan keberlanjutan program. Penelitian ini mengkaji strategi pelaksanaan program tahfidz dengan menelaah hubungan antara pendekatan pembelajaran, evaluasi, dan faktor pendukung. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain kajian literatur naratif. Sumber mencakup artikel ilmiah tentang tahfidz, pengelolaan pendidikan, memori, penilaian, dan motivasi belajar. Bahan dikumpulkan melalui studi dokumen dan dikaji menggunakan analisis naratif untuk menafsirkan argumentasi, membandingkan temuan sesuai konteksnya, serta menjelaskan hubungan antarkonsep. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran tahfidz perlu menghubungkan bimbingan bacaan, penambahan hafalan, latihan mengambil kembali informasi, dan pengulangan berkelanjutan atas materi yang telah dihafal. Penilaian dapat menjadi dasar penyesuaian pembelajaran ketika memperhatikan ketepatan bacaan, kelancaran, retensi, dan kemajuan individual. Kompetensi guru, dukungan psikologis, keterlibatan keluarga, dan pengaturan jadwal kelembagaan saling melengkapi dalam mendukung penyesuaian tersebut. Secara keseluruhan, literatur mengisyaratkan bahwa strategi program perlu menghubungkan kebutuhan belajar siswa, praktik pembelajaran, informasi penilaian, dan tindakan tindak lanjut. Interpretasi ini memberikan dasar untuk meninjau praktik tahfidz di Madrasah Tsanawiyah, sementara penerapannya memerlukan perhatian terhadap karakteristik siswa dan sumber daya lembaga. Simpulan merupakan sintesis literatur yang dikaji, bukan bukti efektivitas model program yang telah diuji]

Teaching Factory (TEFA) provides vocational students with authentic, industry-oriented learning experiences. However, its evaluation often focuses on technical performance and final learning outcomes, leaving employability skills insufficiently assessed. Previous studies have largely examined TEFA implementation and digital assessment separately, highlighting the need for an integrated evaluation model. This study aimed to develop and validate a Digital Teaching Factory Evaluation Model that integrates authentic learning, digital assessment, and employability skills evaluation. A research and development approach was employed using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Data were collected through literature reviews, observations, interviews, questionnaires, document analysis, expert validation, and pretest-posttest assessments. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were examined through coding, categorization, and triangulation. The results showed that the model achieved 88.0% expert validation and 90.0% practicality, indicating that it was highly valid and very practical. Students’ average employability skills scores increased from 67.8 to 84.4, with a reported relative gain of 51.7%. Work readiness showed the highest relative gain (58.1%), followed by collaboration (53.3%), problem-solving (51.4%), communication (50.0%), and adaptability (45.5%). These findings suggest that the model offers a practical framework for assessing employability skills within authentic TEFA activities. It can help vocational teachers document student performance, provide timely feedback, and align assessment with workplace expectations. Further research involving larger samples and stronger experimental designs is needed to examine its effectiveness across different vocational education contexts.

Epistemic integration offers a way to specify the intellectual demands of vocational undergraduate study: students use concepts and evidence to justify a professional decision. This article develops that argument through a conceptual synthesis, two national teaching standards, and descriptive statistics from five education bulletins. China's vocational undergraduate enrollment rose from 129,300 in 2021 to 518,300 in 2025 as the number of providers increased from 32 to 87. Private institutions accounted for 68.8% of providers at the start of the period and 27.6% at its end. Against this changing institutional background, the proposed assessment procedure follows a student's reasoning through the framing of a problem, explanation of choices, verification of results, and application to changed conditions. Occupational performance and intellectual justification receive separate judgments based on evidence from the same learner and task. Curriculum coherence, joint educational provision, progressive practice, and teaching team capability form the organizational basis for this work. Their 24 diagnostic indicators connect program arrangements to evidence of learning. Three propositions specify how task design, guidance, and responsibility for review are expected to support integration. The research agenda concerns the consistency of these judgments and their use in improving subsequent learning opportunities.

Discipline assessment in elementary schools is essential for systematically monitoring students’ character development and providing a basis for continuous guidance. However, effective assessment depends not only on the availability of instruments but also on consistent implementation and the appropriate use of assessment results. This study aimed to describe the implementation of discipline attitude assessment instruments and the disciplinary behavior of students at SD Negeri 071206 Taluzusua. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The informants consisted of two homeroom teachers and one subject teacher selected purposively based on their direct involvement in teaching and attitude assessment. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data credibility was strengthened through source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings indicated that instrument implementation involved three stages: planning, assessment, and utilization of results. Teachers used observation sheets and attitude assessment journals to assess punctuality, compliance with rules, and responsibility for completing assignments. Students generally demonstrated fairly good discipline, although their behavior was not yet consistent across all indicators. Assessment results were used to provide reminders, guidance, reinforcement, and continuous character development. These findings highlight the importance of systematic assessment and appropriate follow-up in fostering discipline in elementary schools. ABSTRAK Penilaian sikap kedisiplinan penting dilakukan di sekolah dasar untuk memantau perkembangan karakter peserta didik secara sistematis dan menjadi dasar pembinaan yang berkelanjutan. Namun, keberhasilan penilaian tidak hanya ditentukan oleh ketersediaan instrumen, tetapi juga oleh konsistensi penggunaannya dan pemanfaatan hasilnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan implementasi instrumen penilaian sikap kedisiplinan dan gambaran kedisiplinan peserta didik di SD Negeri 071206 Taluzusua. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Informan terdiri atas dua wali kelas dan satu guru mata pelajaran yang dipilih secara purposive. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Keabsahan data diperkuat melalui triangulasi sumber, teknik, dan waktu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi instrumen meliputi perencanaan, pelaksanaan penilaian, dan pemanfaatan hasil. Guru menggunakan lembar observasi dan jurnal penilaian untuk menilai ketepatan waktu, kepatuhan terhadap aturan, dan tanggung jawab dalam menyelesaikan tugas. Kedisiplinan peserta didik secara umum cukup baik, tetapi belum konsisten. Hasil penilaian dimanfaatkan untuk memberikan pengingat, arahan, penguatan, dan pembinaan karakter secara berkelanjutan.

The study determined the level of work immersion readiness and career plan preparedness among Senior High School learners and examined their relationship as a basis for developing a Career Readiness Enhancement Program (CREP). A descriptive-correlational research design was used, with 509 Senior High School learners in the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track as respondents; most were 17 years old or below (77%), in Grade 12 (95%), and from the Home Economics strand (92%). Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire measuring work immersion readiness in terms of communication skills, technical and vocational skills, work attitude and discipline, and adaptability and problem-solving skills, and career plan preparedness in terms of self-awareness and interest alignment, career exploration and knowledge, decision-making and goal-setting, and understanding of career pathways. The findings showed high levels of work immersion readiness (general assessment means of 3.52 to 3.61) and career plan preparedness (general assessment means of 3.48 to 3.52), all interpreted as Strongly Agree. Significant positive relationships were found between all dimensions of work immersion readiness and all dimensions of career plan preparedness (r = 0.345 to 0.858, p < .001), including communication skills and self-awareness and interest alignment (r = 0.697), technical and vocational skills and career exploration and knowledge (r = 0.817), work attitude and discipline and self-awareness and interest alignment (r = 0.777), and adaptability and problem-solving skills and self-awareness and interest alignment (r = 0.858). The strongest relationship was between adaptability and problem-solving skills and self-awareness and interest alignment, while the weakest was between communication skills and decision-making and goal-setting (r = 0.345). Decision-making and goal-setting showed the weakest correlations with all four dimensions of work immersion readiness. The findings indicate that workplace-related competencies are significantly associated with career planning preparedness, while decision-making and goal-setting and awareness of certification and training requirements require further strengthening. Based on the findings, a proposed Career Readiness Enhancement Program (CREP) was developed focusing on workplace competencies, career exploration, decision-making, pathway awareness, work immersion preparation, and career portfolio development and monitoring.

Improving the quality of Islamic education requires a quality management approach that is not only oriented toward meeting established standards but also grounded in Islamic values, including trustworthiness (amanah), justice (‘adl), excellence (ihsan), consultation (shura), and continuous improvement. This article focuses on synthesizing quality management principles with Islamic educational values and developing a quality management model that systematically integrates audit, self-evaluation, benchmarking, and accreditation. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. The research stages include identifying and selecting relevant literature, analyzing the concepts of quality management and Islamic educational values, synthesizing relevant principles, and formulating an Islamic education quality management model. The findings indicate that integrating Islamic values with quality management principles can establish a quality assurance system that goes beyond compliance with standards toward fostering an ethical, integrity-based, and sustainable quality culture. Audits function as instruments for assessment and control, self-evaluation as a reflective process for identifying institutional achievements and weaknesses, benchmarking as a means of learning from best practices, and accreditation as formal recognition of quality standards compliance. The proposed model positions Islamic values as its philosophical foundation, quality management as its organizational framework, and the four instruments as mechanisms for continuous quality improvement. Therefore, the model provides a conceptual framework for developing Islamic education quality management that is integrative, adaptive, sustainable, and oriented toward public benefit.

Purpose: This study aims to develop and evaluate an adaptive ergonomic framework for reducing Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) risks among pre-elderly workers in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Methodology: This study adopted a sequential quantitative design consisting of two consecutive phases. The first phase involved a cross-sectional ergonomic assessment of 50 pre-elderly MSMEs workers using the Nordic Body Map (NBM), Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), and Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC). Based on the integrated assessment results, an adaptive ergonomic framework incorporating administrative controls, engineering controls, ergonomic personal protective equipment (PPE), and anthropometry-based workstation redesign was developed. The second phase evaluated the framework through a 14-day before–after intervention study in five selected MSMEs. Results: Most workers were exposed to moderate-to-very high ergonomic risks, with musculoskeletal complaints predominantly affecting the lower back, back, wrists, neck, and lower extremities. Following implementation, QEC exposure scores decreased across the five MSMEs from 68.7–84.5% before intervention to 46.3–63.2% after intervention, accompanied by reductions in REBA/RULA risk classifications and lower NBM complaint levels. Conclusion: The proposed framework effectively reduced ergonomic risks and musculoskeletal complaints among pre-elderly MSMEs workers through practical and low-cost interventions. Originality: This study contributes a comprehensive and context-specific adaptive ergonomic framework that integrates risk assessment, workstation redesign, administrative controls, and ergonomic PPE recommendations tailored to the characteristics of pre-elderly workers in resource-constrained MSMEs.

Background Sleep problems are common among university students due to academic stress, lifestyle factors, and psychological distress and may adversely affect physical and mental health, academic performance, and social functioning. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have increasingly been used as a non-pharmacological approach to improve sleep health; however, previous findings remain inconsistent, and evidence specifically addressing sleep quality in university students remains limited. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of MBIs on sleep quality in university students and explore factors that may account for variations in intervention effects. Methods We searched seven databases—PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, and ScienceDirect—from inception to June 26, 2026. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating MBIs for sleep quality in university students were included. Two reviewers independently conducted study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment using the RoB 2 tool. Meta-analysis was conducted in Stata 17.0 using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses, sensitivity analyses, publication bias assessment, and GRADE assessment were also performed. Results Ten RCTs involving 638 university students were included, with 335 participants in the intervention groups and 303 in the control groups. MBIs significantly improved sleep quality [SMD = −0.97, 95% CI (−1.43, −0.51), p < 0.001], although substantial heterogeneity was observed ( I 2 = 85.1%). Subgroup analyses revealed statistically significant between-group differences with respect to sleep-outcome measurement instrument ( p = 0.001), intervention type ( p = 0.009), and session duration ( p = 0.030), indicating that these variables may partially account for the observed heterogeneity. Sensitivity analyses supported the robustness of the pooled results. Egger’s test revealed no evidence of significant publication bias ( p = 0.270). The certainty of the evidence was rated as low according to the GRADE framework. Conclusion MBIs may improve sleep quality in university students. However, given the substantial heterogeneity and low certainty of evidence, further high-quality RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.

Background: Spouses of persons with psychosis carry a distinct caregiving burden, but Indian studies often group them with other relatives. The study aims to assess anxiety and stress among spouses of persons with psychosis, examine their association with coping and family functioning, and explore differences by gender and marriage duration. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, 80 spouses (32 men, 48 women) were recruited by purposive sampling at a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Goa. Anxiety and stress were measured with DASS-21 subscales, family functioning with the General Functioning subscale of the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD-GF), and coping with a 10-item researcher-constructed questionnaire. Results: Severe or extremely severe anxiety was reported by 95.0% of spouses, while 86.3% had moderate stress. Anxiety (ρ = 0.31, p = 0.005) and stress (ρ = 0.42, p < 0.001) were positively correlated with FAD-GF scores, indicating poorer family functioning with greater psychological distress. Coping scores were negatively correlated with anxiety (ρ = −0.27, p = 0.015) and FAD-GF scores (ρ = −0.30, p = 0.007), indicating that lower coping scores, defined as more frequent and effective coping, were unexpectedly associated with greater anxiety and poorer family functioning. The correlation between coping and stress was not statistically significant (ρ = −0.21, p = 0.062). Women reported higher anxiety than men (p = 0.047). Family functioning differed across marriage-duration groups (p = 0.036), although no pairwise differences remained significant after Bonferroni correction. Conclusion: Severe anxiety was very common among spouses and was associated with poorer family functioning. Because the design is cross-sectional, the sample is small and from one centre, and the coping scale is not validated, the findings show association only. Routine assessment of spouses and family-focused support are indicated. Keywords: Spouses; psychosis; anxiety; stress; coping; family functioning

The urgency of this research lies in the importance of formative assessment for monitoring students’ learning progress and improving Pancasila Education in elementary schools. However, its implementation still faces challenges, including limited time, administrative workload, insufficient instrument variety, and suboptimal use of feedback. This study aims to analyze teachers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of formative assessment instruments, identify implementation barriers, and describe teachers’ efforts to overcome these challenges in Grade V at SD Negeri 071202 Helezalulu. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving two Grade V teachers, one school principal, and four students as informants. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Data trustworthiness was examined through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that teachers perceived formative assessment instruments positively because they helped monitor students’ understanding, identify learning difficulties, provide feedback, and determine instructional follow-up. The identified barriers were addressed through instrument simplification, careful planning, staged assessment, reflection, and teacher collaboration. The study concludes that formative assessment effectiveness depends not only on instrument quality but also on teacher competence, student characteristics, and school support.

Reading is one of the main ways through which middle school students learn English, and the quality of their reading depends largely on the level of thinking involved in the learning process. In actual teaching, however, many reading tasks remain at a low cognitive level, and students encounter difficulty when questions require inference, evaluation, or creation. SOLO taxonomy, which describes the structural complexity of observable learning outcomes, provides a basis for planning and assessing reading tasks across cognitive levels. Drawing on representative studies from China and abroad, this paper reviews research on the application of SOLO taxonomy in English reading teaching in middle schools. It traces the origin and development of the taxonomy, analyzes its compatibility with reading teaching, and examines two lines of applied research, namely SOLO-based reading teaching design and SOLO-based reading teaching assessment. The review indicates that design research has consolidated a working model of tiered objectives, ascending tasks, and question chains, while assessment research has produced level descriptions, evaluation scales, and process-oriented frameworks. And the two lines converge on aligning objectives, activities, and assessment within one level system. The field nevertheless remains constrained by predominantly case-based methods, scarce controlled or longitudinal evidence, and uneven attention between junior and senior high schools. The review concludes that SOLO taxonomy provides an operational definition of thinking depth in reading and supports the integration of teaching, learning, and assessment, but that future work requires more rigorous empirical designs, validated instruments, and broader coverage of learners and reading contexts.

The integration of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and Science represents a crucial approach to developing students' scientific competence while simultaneously strengthening Islamic values ​​and character. This study aims to identify the general and specific characteristics of integrated PAI and Science instruction, serving as an empirical foundation for developing an integrated learning model at MI Muhammadiyah Sains Qur'an (MIM SAINSQU) Balong. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through interviews with the principal, curriculum coordinator, PAI teachers, and classroom or Science teachers; classroom observations; and an analysis of relevant school and instructional documents. The findings indicate that this integration is realized through Quran-oriented contextualization, scientific inquiry, environment-based learning, active student participation, teacher facilitation, and the development of cognitive and affective competencies. However, implementation varies depending on the learning topic, teacher readiness, and the availability of integrated learning resources and assessment frameworks. The study concludes that MIM SAINSQU Balong possesses a strong institutional and pedagogical foundation for integrated PAI and Science instruction but requires a systematic model that coherently links scientific concepts, Quranic values, learning activities, resources, the roles of teachers and students, and assessment.

This study examined the associations of self-regulation, self-esteem, and digital literacy with students' perceived learning achievement at Ariya Metta Vocational High School, Tangerang. The quantitative ex post facto study included 154 students drawn from a population of 250 through proportional stratified random sampling. Online questionnaire responses were analysed using multiple linear regression in SPSS version 27. Self-regulation (B = 1.349; β = 0.494; t = 6.739; p < .001) and self-esteem (B = 0.624; β = 0.345; t = 4.113; p < .001) were positively associated with perceived achievement after adjustment for the other predictors. Digital literacy showed no significant unique association (B = 0.040; β = 0.019; t = 0.248; p = .804). The model accounted for 63.0% of the observed variation (R² = .630; adjusted R² = .622). Although digital literacy was significant in a simple regression, the association did not persist in the full model, indicating overlapping explanatory information among predictors. The findings support attention to learning management and students' evaluations of themselves while encouraging academically purposeful uses of digital resources. Because achievement was self-reported and the design was observational, the results do not establish causality.

Background Diabetes frequently co-occurs with depression, anxiety, and diabetes-related distress, and psychological status directly influences glycaemic control and the risk of complications. Traditional mental health assessment relies on subjective scales. With the growth of digital health, digital phenotyping offers a new paradigm for real-time, objective mental health monitoring and prediction. However, the pathways through which these technologies perform monitoring and prediction remain unclear. Objective This scoping review aimed to systematically map the application pathways of digital phenotyping for mental health monitoring and prediction in people with diabetes, and to use machine learning-assisted text mining to analyse the main research themes and hotspots, thereby informing the future development of individualised risk prediction models and monitoring systems. Methods A scoping review search was conducted in six English databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library) and four Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and China Biomedical Literature Database[CBM]), covering studies published from database inception to 10 September 2026. The search strategy was built around terms related to diabetes, digital phenotyping, and mental health. Machine learning-assisted literature mining was used to identify thematic patterns in the included studies. The study selection process and overall workflow followed the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Results A total of 2,968 records were retrieved. After screening, 10 studies were included. The evidence indicated that digital phenotyping mainly enables real-time monitoring of mental health in people with diabetes through signals such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), passive smartphone sensing, voice, and ecological momentary assessment (EMA). Machine learning methods were widely used for risk prediction modelling, but most studies built models at the group level, with only a few adopting n -of-1 analysis or subgroup prediction to achieve individualised risk prediction. External validation of models was generally lacking, and no intervention studies were identified. Conclusions Preliminary evidence suggests that digital phenotyping has exploratory potential for mental health monitoring and prediction in people with diabetes, but research that genuinely achieves individualised risk prediction remains limited. Closed-loop monitoring-intervention design and multicentre external validation are the main directions for future research. Systematic Review Registration https://osf. io/6wsaj/ .

Sleep and circadian disturbances in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affect patients and caregivers, but clinical action depends on the syndrome, measurement, and outcome under consideration. This narrative review links sleep assessment to indication-based care while distinguishing symptomatic benefit, physiological target engagement, and disease modification. A purposive literature search was supplemented by targeted checks of PubMed-indexed and original publisher records through 4 October 2026. Selected studies are described by population, AD ascertainment, comparator, and measured endpoint rather than assigned formal evidence-certainty grades. Actigraphy characterizes behavioral rest–activity patterns; melatonin timing and temperature rhythms address endogenous circadian physiology under controlled conditions. Polysomnography and quantitative electroencephalography characterize respiratory events, sleep architecture, and oscillatory activity. These measurements inform different questions and do not independently assign AD etiology or cognitive-functional stage. Clinical priorities include confirmed obstructive sleep apnea, cognition-adapted insomnia care, irregular sleep timing, medication-related effects, parasomnias, limb symptoms, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Interpretation incorporates hypoxemia, treatment exposure, comorbidity, caregiver support, and competing diagnoses. Randomized sleep benefits remain distinct from observational cognitive associations or exploratory imaging and cerebrospinal fluid changes. Human and animal studies of arousal circuits, protein dynamics, inflammation, and fluid transport provide mechanistic context, with conflicting results interpreted according to the actual experimental endpoint. The review provides a clinically organized account of selected evidence, not a comprehensive treatment ranking. Sleep care and cognitive-etiologic assessment should proceed in parallel, with follow-up matched to patient function, safety, and the specific treatment goal.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the ARAL-Reading Tool in improving reading fluency and comprehension among Grade Six learners in the Third District of Bohol during School Year 2025–2026. Anchored on Automaticity Theory, Schema Theory, and Sociocultural Theory, the study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design involving 15 purposively selected learners. Seven learners received the eight-week ARAL-Reading Plus intervention, while eight received regular reading instruction. Data were gathered using the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) and the Division of Bohol District Reading Assessment Template. Descriptive statistics and paired-samples and independent-samples t-tests were employed. Before the intervention, both groups demonstrated Frustration-level performance in reading fluency and comprehension. Following the intervention, the experimental group achieved 98.48% in fluency and 85.71% in comprehension, while the control group obtained 96.21% and 57.14%, respectively. Both groups demonstrated significant pretest-posttest improvements. However, between-group comparisons revealed a significant difference in comprehension (p = .019), but not in fluency (p = .185). The findings indicate that the ARAL-Reading Tool supported reading development, particularly comprehension. Strengthening structured reading interventions, instructional resources, teacher support, parental involvement, and continuous assessment was recommended. The study aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by addressing foundational literacy gaps and promoting equitable learning opportunities. Its contribution to educational and institutional sustainability emphasizes evidence-based reading interventions, stakeholder collaboration, and continued support for improving elementary learners' literacy outcomes and strengthening school-based educational recovery initiatives. The findings also provide a basis for school heads and education officials to refine implementation, allocate resources, and monitor reading progress.

Introduction Vehicular driving pattern analysis is important for improving road safety, driving efficiency, and intelligent transportation systems. The aim of this study is to analyze recent research on the major driver-behavior analysis tasks, which are driving pattern recognition, distraction detection, abnormal driving-behavior detection, driver profiling and identification, fuel-efficiency analysis, and driving-risk assessment. Methods The literature selection process was structured and included identification, screening, and eligibility. One hundred seventeen studies were used in this study, and 12 studies were selected for a detailed examination for comparative analysis. Results The studies analyzed have shown that driver-behavior analysis is becoming more popular with the use of machine learning, deep learning, sensor fusion, edge computing, and other new technologies. Existing approaches, however, are still scattered across behavioral tasks and encounter issues such as real-time processing, privacy preservation, scalability, model generalization, and integration of heterogeneous data. Discussion This study highlights the need for integrated and task-oriented approaches to address these challenges and support multiple behavioral assessments. The findings provide research directions on the development of scalable privacy-aware real-time driver-behavior analysis systems for connected and intelligent transportation environments.

The Merdeka Curriculum is Indonesia's most significant curricular reform in a decade, granting schools and teachers wider autonomy over learning design, assessment, and the use of digital resources. Its success, however, depends on whether teachers are prepared to exercise that autonomy and whether technological support is available to sustain it. This article reviews 24 studies published between 2023 and 2026 to examine how teacher readiness and technological support have been addressed in research on the curriculum's implementation. A qualitative systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 reporting principles. Records were drawn from two bibliographic exports and supplementary searches, screened against explicit criteria, and analysed through thematic synthesis. Five themes emerged: conceptual understanding of curriculum components, professional development and training, pedagogical and assessment adaptation, institutional and management support, and technological competence and infrastructure. The synthesis shows that readiness is uneven across regions, school types, and subjects, and that the Merdeka Mengajar Platform has become a central support tool whose benefits depend on teachers' digital competence, time, and school-level facilitation. The article proposes a Readiness-Technology Alignment perspective, arguing that readiness and technological support should be planned together rather than treated as separate policy tracks. Implications for training, leadership, and policy are discussed.

This study aims to analyze the alignment of the attained curriculum in Japanese elementary school arithmetic and junior high school mathematics, based on the results of the National Assessment of Academic Ability. To achieve this, data from the assessment were used to compare mean correct response rates across groups defined by the degree of implementation of each instructional practice, using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). These rates were considered both overall and by specific domains and evaluative perspectives. The analysis of alignment revealed several instructional practices that showed tendencies of alignment with attained learning outcomes. In elementary school arithmetic, alignment was observed in practices that encouraged students to write notes in ways that made the processes of problem solving and reasoning visible. In junior high school mathematics, alignment was evident in lessons that emphasized connections between mathematical concepts and real-life phenomena, as well as in instructional approaches that ensured students understood the rationale behind formulas and rules. These findings suggest that instructional practices explicitly fostering students’ comprehension of problem-solving processes, contextual relevance, and conceptual justification tend to show greater alignment with attained learning outcomes. However, as this study did not control for confounding variables, the observed associations should be interpreted as exploratory rather than causal. The study contributes to curriculum research by identifying associations between specific pedagogical practices and attained learning outcomes, thereby offering insights into effective instructional design in mathematics education.

Academic Competency Test (TKA) is an assessment tool designed to measure the literacy, numeracy, and reasoning abilities of high school students as indicators of academic readiness for higher education. However, TKA results show that student achievement is still relatively low and varies between subjects. This study aims to comprehensively examine the determining factors that influence the low achievement of senior high school students in the Academic Competency Test (TKA). This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature study method, with data sources in the form of reputable national and international scientific articles and secondary data from TKA results published by the Education Assessment Center, Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education. The data were analyzed through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that low TKA achievement is influenced by internal factors, including weak higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), low basic literacy and numeracy, high academic anxiety, and low student motivation to learn. In addition, external factors such as the gap between learning practices and national assessment requirements, the phenomenon of learning loss after the pandemic, limitations in teachers' pedagogical competencies, and socio-economic conditions also contribute to low TKA achievement. These findings show that TKA achievement is a reflection of the overall quality of the learning ecosystem and requires the strengthening of literacy, numeracy, and reasoning-based learning on an ongoing basis.

Curriculum changes in Indonesia place assessment as a key supporting factor in the learning process, as it provides authentic information on student competency development and helps teachers design more effective and targeted learning. This study aims to describe the English language assessment process in the Merdeka curriculum, which includes diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments. The approach used included a literature review, gathering information through exploration of various sources. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The research findings revealed that in addition to the form of English assessment, there were also changes in assessment: non-cognitive diagnostic assessment and cognitive assessment were removed at the beginning of the 2021 Merdeka curriculum implementation in the second year, 2022. Formative and summative assessments were then continued in the first year of the Merdeka curriculum implementation in 2021 until 2025 using an in-depth learning approach. Formative assessments are conducted during the learning process, while summative assessments are conducted after a certain learning period. Teachers must conduct diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments to understand the strengths and weaknesses of student learning throughout the learning process and adapt teaching to each student's abilities and characteristics. The research results can be used as a reference for implementing assessment in the Merdeka curriculum

General Background Pesantren-based madrasas integrate national curricula with Islamic traditions to build academic and religious competencies simultaneously. Specific Background The increasing enrollment of daily commuting learners creates institutional challenges regarding their limited exposure to intensive religious environments compared to dormitory residents. Knowledge Gap Existing literature primarily compares academic outcomes without comprehensively analyzing the pedagogical administration tailored specifically for commuting learners in their natural setting. Aims This research describes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of religious pedagogy specifically for commuting learners at MTs Unggulan Al-Qodiri 1 Jember. Results Planning involves specialized supplementary programs in Qur'an reading, Fiqh, and Basic English structured around formal schedules. Implementation integrates national and boarding curricula through dual supervision systems involving parents and teachers, alongside strict worship habituation. Evaluation applies authentic multi-aspect assessments focusing on practical mastery and attitude development, though challenges persist in adapting teaching methods and maintaining discipline at home. Novelty The study provides a multidimensional framework focusing exclusively on commuting learners as a single unit within a specialized dual-system ecosystem. Implications Successful character building necessitates robust structural synergy among schools, families, and targeted pedagogical differentiation to bridge the environmental divide. Highlights Dual supervision systems synergize teacher monitoring and parental oversight to maintain religious habituation outside dormitories. Authentic assessments evaluate practical worship competencies alongside cognitive mastery through customized pedagogical targets. Curricular differentiation strategies address environmental exposure limitations by integrating specialized supplementary subjects without disrupting formal academic schedules. Keywords Curriculum Integration; Authentic Assessment; Differentiated Instruction; Dual Supervision; Character Development

Automotive electrical-system education requires an understanding of circuit principles and component functions, yet evaluations based on class averages can obscure individual differences and assessment limitations. This study examined changes in test performance before and after instruction recorded as problem-based learning in a headlamp and starter-system unit for Grade XI vocational automotive students. A one-group design was used to analyse 34 matched pre-test and post-test scores on a 0-to-100 scale. Descriptive statistics, paired t tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, an exact sign test, standardized mean change, normalized gains, bootstrap confidence intervals, and exploratory analyses of baseline scores and gains were conducted. Mean scores increased from 71.91 to 95.88, representing a gain of 23.97 points. Thirty-two students improved, while two recorded lower post-test scores. All paired-change tests indicated statistically significant differences, with p values below 0.001, and the standardized within-student effect size was 1.09. An inverse association between baseline performance and arithmetic gain requires caution because the measures are mathematically linked. Seventeen students attained the maximum post-test score, indicating substantial ceiling concentration that may limit the assessment's discrimination at higher achievement levels. The results document a large, widespread improvement in recorded scores following the instructional unit. However, the absence of a comparison group prevents causal attribution of the improvement to problem-based learning. Student-level analysis and scrutiny of assessment properties offer a more informative basis for evaluating learning gains in vocational education.

Higher education has historically operated under a paradigm of information scarcity, positioning universities as premier institutions for curating and transmitting knowledge. The convergence of digital hyper-abundance, algorithmic curation, and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has disrupted this model, producing what educators increasingly describe as a crisis of critical thinking in higher education. The purpose of this review is to examine how information abundance, algorithmic curation, and GenAI use may influence university students’ critical thinking, and to synthesise what this evidence implies for what universities teach and how they assess. Using a critical narrative review design with thematic synthesis, the review analyses 45 verified sources (empirical studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, conceptual works, and policy guidance) identified through citation chaining and targeted searches; empirical GenAI studies date from November 2022 to 2026, and foundational theoretical works from 1976 onward. The synthesis is anchored in an integrative framework that combines cognitive load and dual-process theory, cognitive offloading, scaffolding theory, self-regulated learning, and epistemic cognition, with critical thinking as the principal outcome. Five themes emerged: (1) information abundance appears to shift the central cognitive challenge from retrieval to evaluation; (2) unguided GenAI use is associated with reduced cognitive engagement and, in several experiments, with weaker independent performance once AI support is removed, although guardrailed designs appear to mitigate this; (3) fluent AI output can be mistaken for validated knowledge, and AI-detection tools are unreliable and biased; (4) lateral reading, guided AI use, and process-visible assessment have promising but uneven support; and (5) workload, equity, and policy constraints limit adoption. From these themes, the review derives the Fade–Visibility Matrix, which crosses AI support structure (persistent versus fading) with assessment design (product-only versus process-visible) to yield four diagnostic states. The evidence is early and methodologically uneven, but it is most consistent with a structural rather than individual explanation. Universities should therefore teach evaluation, verification, and metacognitive regulation explicitly, design AI support to fade, and redesign assessment so that the learning process, not only the finished product, can be observed.

Mathematics achievement remains a major concern in Ghanaian senior high schools despite the increasing emphasis on effective classroom assessment and instructional quality. This study examined the relationship between formative assessment practices and perceived students’ mathematical achievement, while investigating the mediating role of cognitive activation-oriented instruction. The study adopted a positivist paradigm with a quantitative cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected from 320 Senior High School students selected through a multistage sampling procedure from two public senior high schools in Ghana. A structured questionnaire measured formative assessment practices, cognitive activation-oriented instruction, and perceived students’ mathematical achievement. Data were analysed using SPSS version 23 and AMOS version 23. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling were employed to test the measurement and structural models. The findings revealed that formative assessment practices significantly predicted perceived students’ mathematical achievement and were positively associated with cognitive activation-oriented instruction. Cognitive activation-oriented instruction was also positively associated with perceived students’ mathematical achievement and statistically mediated the relationship between formative assessment practices and perceived students’ mathematical achievement. The findings suggest that formative assessment practices and cognitive activation-oriented instruction are positively associated with students’ perceptions of their mathematical achievement.

The development of digital technology requires Islamic Religious Education (IRE) to accommodate students’ diverse potentials and foster creativity, including in Akhlak learning, which is often delivered through conventional approaches. This study aims to describe the planning and implementation of digital technology-based product differentiation, identify the forms and quality of students’ products, analyze the development of creativity, and examine the supporting and inhibiting factors at SMAN 1 Majalengka. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with one IRE teacher and six eleventh-grade students, and documentation of instructional materials and students’ digital works. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that instruction was systematically planned through diagnostic assessment, product choices, and assessment rubrics. Implementation resulted in short films, educational videos, and digital posters that represented students’ understanding of moral values. Creativity was reflected in the development of originality, flexibility, elaboration, and fluency of thinking. Teachers’ technological competence, students’ enthusiasm, and a collaborative learning environment supported implementation, while limited time and technical constraints remained challenges. This study provides practical insights into implementing digital product differentiation to foster creativity in Islamic Religious Education.

Penelitian ini memberikan gambaran praktis penerapan diferensiasi produk digital untuk mengembangkan kreativitas siswa dalam pembelajaran PAI.

Background Digital mental health platforms routinely deliver self-administered symptom scales on the assumption that users with more severe symptoms are more likely to enter professional care. That assumption is rarely tested with linked participant-level data, and almost never in the Arabic-speaking Gulf. Objective To examine whether symptom severity at a user’s first self-assessment predicts booking a professional session within 90 days, across four symptom domains, on a Saudi commercial digital mental health platform. Methods Retrospective cohort analysis of 10,100 first assessments — depression, generalized anxiety, panic, and obsessive-compulsive scales — contributed by 5,524 unique users of the Talbinah platform and linked to demographic and session-booking records through a pseudonymous (SHA-256 hashed) user identifier. The primary outcome was any session booked within 90 days after the assessment. Severity was banded by the established cut-offs for the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, and by percentage of scale maximum for the panic and obsessive-compulsive measures, for which no severity thresholds are established. Per-scale multivariable logistic regression estimated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for severity band (reference None/Minimal), adjusting for age, sex, and device type. Pre-specified sensitivity analyses used 30- and 180-day windows, an attended-session outcome, percentage-of-maximum banding applied to all four scales, and a subset with no prior booking (incident help-seeking). Reporting followed STROBE. Results Users were young (mean age 26.7 years, SD 8.1) and predominantly female (78.1%); 16.6% of first assessments were followed by a booking within 90 days. No severity band on any of the four scales was associated with higher odds of booking (severe vs None/Minimal: depression aOR 0.71, 95% CI 0.51–1.01; generalized anxiety 0.76, 0.49–1.16; panic 0.83, 0.52–1.31; obsessive-compulsive 1.01, 0.59–1.74). One severity contrast was statistically significant, in the opposite direction: moderate depression was associated with lower odds of booking (0.66, 95% CI 0.45–0.97). Older age (aOR ~1.2 per decade) and iOS device use (1.4–2.0) were associated with booking across scales. This absence of a positive severity–booking association was consistent across 30-, 90-, and 180-day windows, the attended-session outcome, and percentage-of-maximum banding; a nominal association for moderate anxiety seen under percentage banding did not persist with validated GAD-7 cut-offs. Estimates for the panic and obsessive-compulsive scales, which lack established severity thresholds, are exploratory. Conclusions On a Saudi digital mental health platform, greater self-reported symptom severity at first assessment was not followed by higher subsequent booking of professional care, consistently across specifications, and for moderate depression was associated with lower odds of booking; demographic and access-related attributes showed stronger associations with booking than symptom load did. Self-screening on its own appears insufficient as a pathway into care.

This research analyzes the implementation of a gamification strategy as a methodological framework for delivering curricular content in a sixth-grade primary education class over the course of a full academic year. The study aimed to understand how the integration of game-based elements fosters motivation, participation, collaborative work, and learning processes within an inclusive environment. The research employed a qualitative approach through a case study involving twenty-two students, including one student with a developmental language disorder, one with dyslexia, and one with autism spectrum disorder (level 2). Data were collected through participant observation, checklists, rubrics, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires administered to students and families, and an analysis of the work produced during learning projects. The strategy involved organizing content from four formative domains into thematic "worlds" and "islands," while incorporating avatars, badges, and an experience point (XP) system that recognized both individual and collective effort and progress. The findings indicate a significant increase in active student participation, improved attendance, greater peer collaboration, heightened engagement with school activities, and a positive perception among families regarding the students' learning and emotional well-being. It is concluded that gamification when grounded in the principles of neurodidactics, formative assessment, and educational inclusion serves as a methodological strategy capable of fostering learning environments that are motivating, equitable, and focused on the holistic development of students.

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Dance Art learning for class IX.1 at SMP Islam Terpadu Budi Mulia Padang, focusing on the suitability of planning, implementation, and evaluation with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was used, with the Dance Art teacher of class IX.1 as the primary data source. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, teaching module document analysis, and documentation, then processed through data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that: (1) lesson planning through the teaching module generally aligns with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum, although the Creating element of the learning outcomes was not explicitly stated; (2) implementation followed a Project Based Learning (PjBL) model across three meetings, engaging students in observing, discussing, designing, and performing a group creative dance work, although the three-meeting time allocation was not yet sufficient for the ideal PjBL stages, and some male students showed limited confidence; and (3) evaluation was carried out through diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments, with 95% of students achieving mastery on the theoretical aspect but only 65% on the practical aspect. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Dance Art learning has generally been consistent with its guiding principles, while time allocation and equitable student participation remain aspects that require further attention.

هدف این پژوهش توصیف و تحلیل اجرای برنامهٔ درسی مردکا در آموزش هنر رقص برای کلاس IX.1 در مدرسهٔ اسلامی تلفیقی بُدی مولیا پادانگ با تمرکز بر میزان انطباق برنامه‌ریزی، اجرا و ارزشیابی با اصول برنامهٔ درسی مردکا است. این پژوهش با روش کیفی و رویکرد پدیدارشناختی انجام شده است و معلم هنر رقص کلاس IX.1 به‌عنوان منبع اصلی داده‌ها انتخاب گردید. داده‌ها از طریق مشاهده، مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته، تحلیل اسناد ماژول آموزشی و مستندسازی گردآوری و سپس از طریق گردآوری داده، کاهش داده، نمایش داده و نتیجه‌گیری پردازش شدند. نتایج نشان می‌دهد: (۱) برنامه‌ریزی درسی از طریق ماژول آموزشی به‌طور کلی با اصول برنامهٔ درسی مردکا هم‌راستا است، هرچند عنصر «خلق» در نتایج یادگیری به‌طور صریح بیان نشده بود؛ (۲) اجرا بر اساس مدل یادگیری مبتنی بر پروژه (PjBL) در سه جلسه انجام شد و دانش‌آموزان در مشاهده، بحث، طراحی و اجرای یک اثر رقص گروهی خلاقانه مشارکت داشتند، هرچند تخصیص زمان سه جلسه برای مراحل ایده‌آل PjBL کافی نبود و برخی دانش‌آموزان پسر اعتمادبه‌نفس محدودی نشان دادند؛ و (۳) ارزشیابی از طریق ارزیابی تشخیصی، تکوینی و پایانی انجام شد و ۹۵٪ دانش‌آموزان در بُعد نظری به تسلط رسیدند اما تنها ۶۵٪ در بُعد عملی موفق بودند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که اجرای برنامهٔ درسی مردکا در آموزش هنر رقص به‌طور کلی با اصول راهنمای آن منطبق بوده است، در حالی که تخصیص زمان و مشارکت برابر دانش‌آموزان همچنان نیازمند توجه بیشتر است.

‘Student voice’ and ‘inclusivity’ have emerged as cornerstones of assessment redesign projects. One largely unarticulated precondition for the student voice to be a meaningful determinant of assessment practices is that student preferences are consistent and specific. To find out whether this is actually the case, we developed a mixed-method approach to analysing focus group transcripts. The core of our work consists of a topic analysis and a collocation analysis. The main finding from our topic analysis is that student discourse does not revolve around a consistent set of preferences. Individual preferences get drowned out in aggregate data. Our collocation analysis shows an intense student focus on the logistics and regulation of assessment and a devastatingly bleak evaluation of them. Concerns around what is being assessed are largely absent from conversations around assessment preferences. Results point to a need to build trust at a ‘local’ level rather than seek silver bullets.

«صدای دانشجو» و «شمولیت» به‌عنوان ارکان اصلی پروژه‌های بازطراحی ارزیابی مطرح شده‌اند. یکی از پیش‌شرط‌های عمدتاً بیان‌نشده برای آنکه صدای دانشجو بتواند به‌عنوان تعیین‌کننده‌ای معنادار در شیوه‌های ارزیابی ایفای نقش کند، این است که ترجیحات دانشجویان سازگار و مشخص باشد. برای بررسی اینکه آیا واقعاً چنین است یا خیر، رویکردی ترکیبی برای تحلیل رونوشت‌های گروه‌های کانونی توسعه دادیم. هسته اصلی پژوهش ما شامل تحلیل موضوعی و تحلیل هم‌آیی است. یافته اصلی تحلیل موضوعی ما این است که گفتار دانشجویان حول مجموعه‌ای سازگار از ترجیحات نمی‌چرخد. ترجیحات فردی در داده‌های تجمیعی نادیده گرفته می‌شود. تحلیل هم‌آیی ما نشان می‌دهد که تمرکز دانشجویان بر جنبه‌های لجستیکی و مقرراتی ارزیابی بسیار شدید است و ارزیابی آن‌ها از این جنبه‌ها به‌شدت منفی است. نگرانی‌ها درباره اینکه چه چیزی مورد ارزیابی قرار می‌گیرد، عمدتاً در گفتگوهای مربوط به ترجیحات ارزیابی غایب است. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که نیاز به ایجاد اعتماد در سطح «محلی» وجود دارد و نباید به دنبال راه‌حل‌های معجزه‌آسا بود.

BackgroundSleep disruption is common during postoperative hospitalisation and may be influenced by pain, overnight clinical care, and environmental factors.This quality improvement project assessed sleep quality among postoperative paediatric inpatients and identified potentially modifiable contributors to sleep disturbance. MethodologyA clinical audit was conducted on a paediatric inpatient ward between April and June 2026.Children aged 0-18 years admitted following elective or emergency orthopaedic surgery and requiring at least one overnight postoperative stay were eligible.Parents or carers completed a questionnaire after the child's first postoperative night assessing sleep quality, nighttime awakenings, causes of sleep disturbance, ward noise and lighting, clustering of overnight care, assessment of sleep needs, and parent/carer sleep.Responses were analysed descriptively using frequencies and percentages. ResultsIn total, 19 questionnaires were included: 14 from children accommodated in multi-bed bays and five from children in individual cubicles.In bays, eight of 14 (57.1%)children were reported to have fair sleep and six (42.9%) woke more than five times overnight.In cubicles, two of five (40.0%) children were reported to have good sleep and one (20.0%)woke more than five times.Nursing observations were reported as a contributor to sleep disturbance in 10 of 14 (71.4%)children in bays and four of five (80.0%) in cubicles.Pain contributed to sleep disturbance in 10 of 19 (52.6%) children overall.Most respondents reported that the ward was quiet overnight and that lights were kept low.However, only seven of 19 (36.8%) families reported being asked about their child's sleep needs.Parent/carer sleep was also frequently disrupted. ConclusionsPostoperative sleep disruption was common, with nursing observations and pain among the most frequently reported contributors.Despite generally favourable perceptions of overnight noise and lighting, opportunities for improvement were identified in assessment of individual sleep needs, coordination of overnight care where clinically appropriate, and optimisation of pain management.A subsequent audit cycle following implementation of these measures will assess their impact on sleep-related outcomes.

زمینه و هدف: اختلال خواب در دوران بستری پس از عمل جراحی شایع است و ممکن است تحت تأثیر درد، مراقبت‌های بالینی شبانه و عوامل محیطی قرار گیرد. این پروژه بهبود کیفیت، کیفیت خواب بیماران بستری کودکان پس از عمل جراحی را ارزیابی کرده و عوامل قابل اصلاح مؤثر بر اختلال خواب را شناسایی نمود. روش: یک ممیزی بالینی در بخش بستری کودکان بین آوریل تا ژوئن ۲۰۲۶ انجام شد. کودکان ۰ تا ۱۸ سال که پس از جراحی ارتوپدی انتخابی یا اورژانسی بستری شده و حداقل یک شب پس از عمل در بیمارستان مانده بودند، واجد شرایط بودند. والدین یا مراقبان پس از اولین شب پس از عمل کودک، پرسشنامه‌ای را در خصوص کیفیت خواب، بیدار شدن‌های شبانه، علل اختلال خواب، سر و صدای بخش و نورپردازی، تجمع مراقبت‌های شبانه، ارزیابی نیازهای خواب و خواب والدین/مراقبان تکمیل کردند. پاسخ‌ها به صورت توصیفی با استفاده از فراوانی و درصدها تحلیل شد. نتایج: در مجموع ۱۹ پرسشنامه وارد مطالعه شد: ۱۴ مورد مربوط به کودکانی که در بخش‌های چندتخته بستری بودند و پنج مورد مربوط به کودکانی که در اتاق‌های انفرادی قرار داشتند. در بخش‌های چندتخته، خواب هشت نفر از ۱۴ کودک (۵۷/۱٪) متوسط گزارش شد و شش نفر (۴۲/۹٪) بیش از پنج بار در طول شب بیدار شدند. در اتاق‌های انفرادی، خواب دو نفر از پنج کودک (۴۰/۰٪) خوب گزارش شد و یک نفر (۲۰/۰٪) بیش از پنج بار بیدار شد. مشاهدات پرستاری به عنوان یکی از عوامل اختلال خواب در ۱۰ نفر از ۱۴ کودک (۷۱/۴٪) در بخش‌های چندتخته و چهار نفر از پنج کودک (۸۰/۰٪) در اتاق‌های انفرادی گزارش شد. درد در مجموع در ۱۰ نفر از ۱۹ کودک (۵۲/۶٪) به عنوان عامل اختلال خواب نقش داشت. اکثر پاسخ‌دهندگان گزارش کردند که بخش در طول شب آرام بوده و نور کم نگه داشته شده است. با این حال، تنها هفت خانواده از ۱۹ خانواده (۳۶/۸٪) گزارش کردند که در مورد نیازهای خواب کودکشان از آن‌ها سؤال شده است. خواب والدین/مراقبان نیز اغلب مختل شده بود. نتیجه‌گیری: اختلال خواب پس از عمل شایع بود و مشاهدات پرستاری و درد از جمله عوامل گزارش‌شده مهم بودند. علی‌رغم برداشت کلی مثبت از سر و صدای شبانه و نورپردازی، فرصت‌هایی برای بهبود در ارزیابی نیازهای فردی خواب، هماهنگی مراقبت‌های شبانه در صورت امکان بالینی و بهینه‌سازی مدیریت درد شناسایی شد. یک چرخه ممیزی بعدی پس از اجرای این اقدامات، تأثیر آن‌ها را بر پیامدهای مرتبط با خواب ارزیابی خواهد کرد.

Formative assessment is important in inclusive English classrooms because it enables teachers to gather evidence of learning during instruction and respond to diverse learning needs. This study examined how formative assessment was implemented in an inclusive Grade VIII English classroom, with particular attention to the relationship between assessment planning, classroom enactment, evidence of learning, feedback, and instructional adaptation. A qualitative case study design was employed using non-participant classroom observation, a semi-structured interview with the English teacher, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the interactive model. The findings indicate that formative assessment was embedded throughout instruction through questioning, observation, performance activities, feedback, and reflection. A key pattern was the difference between planned assessment and classroom implementation. Although the written assessment plan was primarily designed for the whole class, the teacher adapted instructions, task support, time allocation, and individual guidance in response to students’ learning evidence. Thus, in this case, the inclusive dimension of formative assessment was more visible in teachers’ real-time responsive decisions than in formal assessment planning. Because the study concerned one teacher and one classroom, the findings are presented as a context-specific account rather than a generalizable claim.

ارزشیابی تکوینی در کلاس‌های فراگیر زبان انگلیسی اهمیت دارد، زیرا به معلمان امکان می‌دهد تا در حین آموزش، شواهد یادگیری را جمع‌آوری کرده و به نیازهای متنوع یادگیری پاسخ دهند. این پژوهش به بررسی نحوه اجرای ارزشیابی تکوینی در یک کلاس فراگیر زبان انگلیسی پایه هشتم پرداخت و به طور ویژه به رابطه بین برنامه‌ریزی ارزشیابی، اجرای کلاسی، شواهد یادگیری، بازخورد و سازگاری آموزشی توجه داشت. این مطالعه با استفاده از طرح مطالعه موردی کیفی و به‌کارگیری مشاهده غیرمشارکتی کلاس، مصاحبه نیمه‌ساختاریافته با معلم زبان انگلیسی و تحلیل اسناد انجام شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از مدل تعاملی تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها نشان داد که ارزشیابی تکوینی از طریق پرسشگری، مشاهده، فعالیت‌های عملکردی، بازخورد و تأمل در سراسر آموزش ادغام شده بود. الگوی کلیدی، تفاوت بین ارزشیابی برنامه‌ریزی‌شده و اجرای کلاسی بود. اگرچه برنامه مکتوب ارزشیابی عمدتاً برای کل کلاس طراحی شده بود، معلم با توجه به شواهد یادگیری دانش‌آموزان، دستورالعمل‌ها، حمایت از تکلیف، تخصیص زمان و راهنمایی فردی را تطبیق می‌داد. بنابراین، در این مورد، بُعد فراگیر ارزشیابی تکوینی بیشتر در تصمیمات پاسخگو و آنی معلم نسبت به برنامه‌ریزی رسمی ارزشیابی مشهود بود. با توجه به اینکه این مطالعه درباره یک معلم و یک کلاس انجام شده است، یافته‌ها به عنوان گزارشی زمینه‌محور ارائه می‌شود و نه ادعایی قابل تعمیم.

This study examined the influence of teacher classroom practices on perceived primary school effectiveness in Southwestern Nigeria. Specifically, the study assessed the level of perceived school effectiveness and examined teachers’ digital instructional practices, classroom management, teacher–pupil interaction, and digital assessment and feedback practices, as well as the joint and relative contributions of these classroom practices to school effectiveness. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The population comprised public primary school teachers in the six states of Southwestern Nigeria, while a multistage sampling procedure was used to select 1,200 teachers from 90 public primary schools across Ogun, Osun, and Ekiti States. Data were collected using the Teacher Classroom Practices and Primary School Effectiveness Questionnaire (TCPSPEQ), which demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.87. Data were analysed using frequencies, percentages, weighted means, standard deviations, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and multiple regression at the 0.05 level of significance. Findings showed that perceived school effectiveness was relatively high (weighted mean = 2.90), while classroom management (3.08) and teacher–pupil interaction (3.10) were rated high. Teachers also reported high perceptions of interactive digital storytelling (3.00), blended learning (2.93), and mobile learning (2.89), although actual use of digital tools was comparatively limited. The study concludes that strengthening classroom management, teacher–pupil relationships, and purposeful digital instructional and assessment practices can enhance primary school effectiveness in Southwestern Nigeria. It therefore recommended school administrators should strengthen classroom supervision and instructional support to sustain effective classroom management practices among teachers.

این مطالعه به بررسی تأثیر شیوه‌های معلمان در کلاس درس بر اثربخشی ادراک‌شده مدارس ابتدایی در جنوب‌غربی نیجریه پرداخت. به طور خاص، سطح اثربخشی ادراک‌شده مدارس ارزیابی شد و شیوه‌های آموزشی دیجیتال معلمان، مدیریت کلاس درس، تعامل معلم و دانش‌آموز، و شیوه‌های ارزیابی و بازخورد دیجیتال معلمان مورد بررسی قرار گرفت، همچنین سهم مشترک و نسبی این شیوه‌های کلاسی در اثربخشی مدرسه تحلیل شد. طرح پژوهش از نوع پیمایشی توصیفی بود. جامعه آماری شامل معلمان مدارس ابتدایی دولتی در شش ایالت جنوب‌غربی نیجریه بود و با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری چندمرحله‌ای، تعداد ۱۲۰۰ معلم از ۹۰ مدرسه ابتدایی دولتی در ایالت‌های Ogun، Osun و Ekiti انتخاب شدند. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه شیوه‌های معلمان در کلاس درس و اثربخشی مدارس ابتدایی (TCPSPEQ) گردآوری شد که از نظر پایایی درونی با ضریب آلفای کرونباخ ۰٫۸۷ رضایت‌بخش بود. داده‌ها با استفاده از فراوانی، درصد، میانگین وزنی، انحراف معیار، همبستگی حاصل‌ضرب لحظه‌ای پیرسون و رگرسیون چندگانه در سطح معناداری ۰٫۰۵ تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها نشان داد اثربخشی ادراک‌شده مدارس نسبتاً بالا بود (میانگین وزنی = ۲٫۹۰)، در حالی که مدیریت کلاس درس (۳٫۰۸) و تعامل معلم و دانش‌آموز (۳٫۱۰) نیز در سطح بالایی ارزیابی شدند. معلمان همچنین ادراک بالایی نسبت به روایت‌گری دیجیتال تعاملی (۳٫۰۰)، یادگیری ترکیبی (۲٫۹۳) و یادگیری سیار (۲٫۸۹) گزارش کردند، هرچند استفاده واقعی از ابزارهای دیجیتال نسبتاً محدود بود. مطالعه نتیجه می‌گیرد که تقویت مدیریت کلاس درس، روابط معلم و دانش‌آموز و شیوه‌های هدفمند آموزشی و ارزیابی دیجیتال می‌تواند اثربخشی مدارس ابتدایی در جنوب‌غربی نیجریه را افزایش دهد. بنابراین توصیه می‌شود مدیران مدارس نظارت بر کلاس درس و حمایت آموزشی را برای حفظ شیوه‌های مؤثر مدیریت کلاس درس در میان معلمان تقویت کنند.

Assessment feedback is crucial for student learning and satisfaction in higher education. However, many students find it vague or unhelpful, leading to dissatisfaction. Workload pressures on educators limit opportunities to provide detailed, personalised feedback. The present study explores a data-driven approach that integrates linguistic analysis into assessment feedback, aiming to enhance its clarity and increase student satisfaction. Using computational methods, we analysed a 235,118-word corpus from 115 postgraduate essays, examining lexical diversity, readability, and word frequency. Individualised Linguistic Feedback Reports (LFRs) were created and shared alongside traditional feedback. Survey responses (N = 59) showed students found LFRs clearer and more satisfying. Although perceived usefulness and actionability were not significantly different, qualitative feedback highlighted the value of objective, specific writing insights. These findings suggest that linguistically informed feedback can improve clarity and satisfaction without increasing staff workload, offering a promising step towards more engaging and effective feedback models.

بازخورد ارزیابی نقش حیاتی در یادگیری و رضایت دانشجویان در آموزش عالی ایفا می‌کند. با این حال، بسیاری از دانشجویان آن را مبهم یا غیرمفید می‌یابند که منجر به نارضایتی می‌شود. فشار حجم کار بر اساتید فرصت ارائه بازخورد دقیق و شخصی‌سازی‌شده را محدود می‌کند. مطالعه حاضر رویکردی مبتنی بر داده را بررسی می‌کند که تحلیل زبانی را در بازخورد ارزیابی ادغام می‌کند، با هدف افزایش شفافیت و ارتقای رضایت دانشجویان. با استفاده از روش‌های محاسباتی، پیکره‌ای شامل ۲۳۵٬۱۱۸ واژه از ۱۱۵ مقاله تحصیلات تکمیلی تحلیل شد و تنوع واژگانی، خوانایی و فراوانی واژه‌ها مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. گزارش‌های بازخورد زبانی فردی (LFRs) تهیه و همراه با بازخورد سنتی به اشتراک گذاشته شد. پاسخ‌های پرسشنامه (N = 59) نشان داد که دانشجویان LFRs را شفاف‌تر و رضایت‌بخش‌تر یافتند. اگرچه تفاوت معناداری در سودمندی ادراک‌شده و قابلیت اقدام وجود نداشت، بازخورد کیفی بر ارزش بینش‌های عینی و خاص در نوشتار تأکید داشت. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که بازخورد مبتنی بر تحلیل زبانی می‌تواند بدون افزایش حجم کار کارکنان، شفافیت و رضایت را بهبود بخشد و گامی امیدبخش به سوی مدل‌های بازخورد مؤثرتر و جذاب‌تر ارائه می‌دهد.

This conceptual article explores practical ways in which college and university instructors can leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to support assessment as learning and develop students’ feedback literacy. Traditional assessment practices often focus on assessment for learning (informing instruction) or of learning (measuring outcomes), while assessment as learning—when students actively monitor and reflect on their own learning—receives less attention. AI can help instructors leverage assessment as a learning tool by generating work samples for student analysis and providing timely, actionable feedback that students can use to revise their work. When combined with instructor modeling, peer dialogue, and scaffolds such as guiding questions or graphic organizers, AI-supported feedback promotes metacognition, self-directed learning, and critical evaluation skills. The article provides practical guidance, including prompts and strategies for using AI to enhance student engagement with feedback, helping instructors create more efficient, effective, and student-centered practices that utilize assessments as learning tools.

این مقاله مفهومی به بررسی راهکارهای عملی می‌پردازد که اساتید دانشگاه‌ها و مؤسسات آموزش عالی می‌توانند از هوش مصنوعی (AI) برای حمایت از ارزشیابی به عنوان یادگیری و توسعه سواد بازخورد دانشجویان بهره‌مند شوند. شیوه‌های سنتی ارزشیابی عمدتاً بر ارزشیابی برای یادگیری (اطلاع‌رسانی به تدریس) یا ارزشیابی از یادگیری (سنجش پیامدها) تمرکز دارند، در حالی که ارزشیابی به عنوان یادگیری—زمانی که دانشجویان به طور فعال یادگیری خود را پایش و بازتاب می‌کنند—کمتر مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. هوش مصنوعی می‌تواند به اساتید کمک کند تا ارزشیابی را به عنوان ابزاری برای یادگیری به کار گیرند؛ از طریق تولید نمونه‌های کاری برای تحلیل دانشجویان و ارائه بازخورد به‌موقع و قابل اقدام که دانشجویان بتوانند برای بازنگری کار خود از آن استفاده کنند. هنگامی که این بازخورد مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی با الگو‌سازی استاد، گفت‌وگوی همتایان و حمایت‌هایی مانند سؤالات راهنما یا سازمان‌دهنده‌های تصویری ترکیب شود، موجب ارتقای فراشناخت، یادگیری خودراهبر و مهارت‌های ارزیابی انتقادی می‌شود. این مقاله راهنمایی‌های عملی، از جمله نمونه‌های پرسش و راهبردهایی برای استفاده از هوش مصنوعی جهت افزایش مشارکت دانشجویان با بازخورد ارائه می‌دهد و به اساتید کمک می‌کند تا شیوه‌هایی کارآمدتر، مؤثرتر و دانشجو‌محورتر را که از ارزشیابی به عنوان ابزار یادگیری بهره می‌برند، ایجاد کنند.

Evaluation and assessment are integral components of modern biology education, serving not only to measure final learning outcomes but also to support continuous learning processes. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship among assessment instrument development, assessment result analysis, and biology teacher competence. A literature review method with a qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data collection involved analyzing scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 from various databases, including Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ERIC. The findings indicate that: (1) biology assessment instrument development currently focuses on measuring complex competencies, such as scientific literacy, higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), and genetic literacy; (2) the analysis of assessment results through validity, reliability, item difficulty, discrimination power, and distractor effectiveness is crucial to ensuring item quality; and (3) biology teachers play a strategic role encompassing conceptual, practical, and socio-emotional assessment literacy to design, implement, interpret, and utilize assessment results as a basis for feedback and instructional improvement. In conclusion, the integration of valid instruments, systematic item analysis, and adequate teacher assessment literacy is key to achieving quality biology education oriented toward holistic student competency development.

ارزیابی و سنجش از اجزای جدایی‌ناپذیر آموزش زیست‌شناسی مدرن به‌شمار می‌روند که نه‌تنها برای سنجش نتایج نهایی یادگیری بلکه برای حمایت از فرآیندهای یادگیری مستمر نیز به‌کار می‌روند. هدف این پژوهش ارائه مروری جامع بر ارتباط میان توسعه ابزارهای سنجش، تحلیل نتایج ارزشیابی و شایستگی معلمان زیست‌شناسی است. روش پژوهش مرور متون با رویکرد توصیفی-کیفی بوده است. گردآوری داده‌ها از طریق تحلیل مقالات علمی منتشرشده بین سال‌های 2020 تا 2025 از پایگاه‌های مختلف از جمله Google Scholar، ScienceDirect و ERIC انجام شده است. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد: (1) توسعه ابزارهای سنجش زیست‌شناسی در حال حاضر بر سنجش شایستگی‌های پیچیده‌ای مانند سواد علمی، مهارت‌های تفکر سطح‌بالا (HOTS) و سواد ژنتیکی متمرکز است؛ (2) تحلیل نتایج ارزشیابی از طریق روایی، پایایی، دشواری سؤال، قدرت تمایز و اثربخشی گزینه‌های انحرافی برای تضمین کیفیت سؤال‌ها حیاتی است؛ و (3) معلمان زیست‌شناسی نقش راهبردی دربرگیرنده سواد ارزشیابی مفهومی، عملی و اجتماعی-هیجانی دارند تا بتوانند نتایج ارزشیابی را طراحی، اجرا، تفسیر و به‌عنوان مبنایی برای بازخورد و بهبود آموزشی به‌کار گیرند. در نتیجه، ادغام ابزارهای معتبر، تحلیل نظام‌مند سؤال‌ها و سواد ارزشیابی کافی معلمان، کلید دستیابی به آموزش زیست‌شناسی باکیفیت و مبتنی بر توسعه شایستگی جامع دانش‌آموزان است.

This study examined the effectiveness of Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) in teaching Grade 8 English and provided a basis for crafting an instructional guide during the academic year 2014–2015. Specifically, it described OBE in terms of objectives, approaches, content, and evaluation; assessed the extent to which these areas were attained and developed; identified instructional activities; and examined their perceived contributions to learners’ competencies. A descriptive research design was employed involving 20 permanent secondary English teachers with at least three years of experience from Cluster/North III, Caloocan City, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, supplemented by informal interviews and documentary analysis, and analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and ranking. Findings indicated that the four areas of OBE were attained and developed to a high extent. The approach emphasized shared responsibility for learning, student-centered activities, alignment of intended learning outcomes with teaching activities and assessment tasks, and criteria-based evaluation. Teachers identified visual aids, rewards, drills, training, classroom assessments, and challenging learning tasks among the activities supporting implementation. Respondents perceived OBE activities as contributing to communication, critical thinking, creative thinking, and other Grade 8 English learning competencies. The study concluded that OBE practices addressed the identified instructional areas and contributed to improved learning competencies. Based on these findings, an instructional guide was developed to enhance OBE implementation. The study recommended clearer learning outcomes, high expectations, varied opportunities to demonstrate learning, teacher training, administrative support, and improved instructional resources to strengthen classroom instruction and support effective learning.

این پژوهش اثربخشی آموزش مبتنی بر نتایج (OBE) را در تدریس زبان انگلیسی پایه هشتم مورد بررسی قرار داد و مبنایی برای تدوین یک راهنمای آموزشی در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۱۴–۲۰۱۵ فراهم آورد. به طور خاص، OBE از نظر اهداف، رویکردها، محتوا و ارزشیابی توصیف شد؛ میزان تحقق و توسعه این حوزه‌ها ارزیابی گردید؛ فعالیت‌های آموزشی شناسایی شد؛ و نقش ادراک‌شده آن‌ها در ارتقای شایستگی‌های یادگیرندگان بررسی گردید. این پژوهش با طرح توصیفی و با مشارکت ۲۰ معلم رسمی زبان انگلیسی متوسطه با حداقل سه سال سابقه از منطقه Cluster/North III شهر Caloocan که به روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند انتخاب شدند، انجام شد. داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه، مصاحبه‌های غیررسمی و تحلیل اسناد گردآوری و با استفاده از فراوانی، درصد، میانگین وزنی و رتبه‌بندی تحلیل شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که چهار حوزه OBE در سطح بالایی تحقق یافته و توسعه یافته‌اند. رویکرد مورد نظر بر مسئولیت مشترک در یادگیری، فعالیت‌های دانش‌آموزمحور، همسویی اهداف یادگیری مورد انتظار با فعالیت‌های آموزشی و وظایف ارزشیابی و ارزشیابی مبتنی بر معیار تأکید داشت. معلمان، وسایل بصری، پاداش‌ها، تمرین‌ها، آموزش‌ها، ارزشیابی‌های کلاسی و تکالیف یادگیری چالش‌برانگیز را از جمله فعالیت‌های مؤثر در اجرای OBE شناسایی کردند. پاسخ‌دهندگان فعالیت‌های OBE را در ارتقای شایستگی‌های ارتباطی، تفکر انتقادی، تفکر خلاق و سایر شایستگی‌های یادگیری زبان انگلیسی پایه هشتم مؤثر دانستند. نتیجه‌گیری پژوهش نشان داد که شیوه‌های OBE به حوزه‌های آموزشی شناسایی‌شده پاسخ داده و به بهبود شایستگی‌های یادگیری کمک کرده‌اند. بر اساس این یافته‌ها، یک راهنمای آموزشی برای ارتقای اجرای OBE تدوین شد. پژوهش پیشنهاد کرد که برای تقویت آموزش کلاسی و حمایت از یادگیری مؤثر، اهداف یادگیری شفاف‌تر، انتظارات بالا، فرصت‌های متنوع برای نشان دادن یادگیری، آموزش معلمان، حمایت اداری و منابع آموزشی بهبود یافته فراهم شود.

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) concepts integrated into literacy and science assessment based on the standards of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), as well as to develop a contextual and applicable assessment design appropriate to the characteristics of students at SMP PGRI 5 Denpasar. The study employed a mixed-methods approach with an exploratory sequential design. The participants consisted of 116 students and 6 teachers. Data were collected through observations, interviews, document analysis, questionnaires, and expert validation. Data analysis involved qualitative analysis, the Gregory validity index, empirical validity, and instrument reliability analysis. The findings indicate that STEM-PISA assessment characteristics include the use of contextual stimuli based on real-world problems, the utilization of data and graphs, higher-order reasoning, cross-disciplinary integration, varied response formats, and assessment of thinking processes. The developed assessment design integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through authentic contexts, data literacy, problem-solving, and assessment rubrics. Students’ perceptions obtained a mean score of 3.96, while teachers’ perceptions reached 4.42 on a five-point scale, indicating that the assessment design was considered relevant and acceptable for supporting contextual learning and assessment.

This study examines how educational supervision and educational evaluation can be integrated to improve the quality of Islamic educational institutions at the madrasah tsanawiyah (MTs) level in Samarinda. The problem addressed is that supervision and evaluation are often discussed and managed as separate routines, so supervision findings rarely serve as evidence for institutional quality decisions. The study aims to explain the relationship between the two, to formulate an integration model, and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. It employed a qualitative library research design. Data were drawn from scientific articles published between 2021 and 2026, a government regulation on national education standards, and a local study conducted at an MTs in Samarinda, and were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with source triangulation. The results show that supervision supplies process evidence, while evaluation turns that evidence into quality decisions. Integration is best designed as a five-stage cycle: quality mapping, supervision planning, supervision implementation, evaluation of results and impacts, and follow-up coaching. An illustrative application shows that a small MTs can run this cycle through a quality team, a shared instrument, and a collaborative coaching approach. Leadership, quality culture, time management, and documentation of follow-up determine its success. The model is conceptual and requires empirical testing in further field research.

این مطالعه به بررسی چگونگی ادغام نظارت آموزشی و ارزیابی آموزشی به منظور ارتقای کیفیت مؤسسات آموزش اسلامی در سطح مدرسه متوسطه اول (مدرسه تسناویّه، MTs) در شهر ساماریندا می‌پردازد. مسئله مورد بررسی این است که نظارت و ارزیابی غالباً به عنوان فعالیت‌هایی جداگانه مورد بحث و مدیریت قرار می‌گیرند، به‌گونه‌ای که یافته‌های نظارت به ندرت به عنوان شواهدی برای تصمیم‌گیری‌های مرتبط با کیفیت مؤسسه مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرند. هدف پژوهش، تبیین رابطه میان این دو، تدوین یک مدل ادغام و شناسایی عوامل تسهیل‌کننده و بازدارنده است. این پژوهش با رویکرد کیفی و روش مطالعه کتابخانه‌ای انجام شده است. داده‌ها از مقالات علمی منتشرشده بین سال‌های 2021 تا 2026، یک مقرره دولتی درباره استانداردهای ملی آموزش و یک مطالعه محلی انجام‌شده در یک مدرسه MTs در ساماریندا گردآوری و از طریق کاهش داده‌ها، نمایش داده‌ها و نتیجه‌گیری با استفاده از مثلث‌سازی منابع تحلیل شده‌اند. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که نظارت شواهد فرایندی را فراهم می‌کند، در حالی که ارزیابی این شواهد را به تصمیمات مرتبط با کیفیت تبدیل می‌کند. ادغام به بهترین نحو به صورت یک چرخه پنج‌مرحله‌ای طراحی می‌شود: نقشه‌برداری کیفیت، برنامه‌ریزی نظارت، اجرای نظارت، ارزیابی نتایج و پیامدها و پیگیری و هدایت بعدی. یک کاربرد نمونه نشان می‌دهد که یک مدرسه MTs کوچک می‌تواند این چرخه را از طریق یک تیم کیفیت، ابزار مشترک و رویکرد هدایت مشارکتی اجرا کند. رهبری، فرهنگ کیفیت، مدیریت زمان و مستندسازی پیگیری‌ها موفقیت این مدل را تعیین می‌کنند. این مدل مفهومی است و نیازمند آزمون تجربی در پژوهش‌های میدانی بعدی می‌باشد.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Deep Learning based on Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) in creating meaningful learning in elementary schools. The diversity of students’ abilities requires teachers to provide learning experiences that are appropriate to students’ initial competencies, needs, and characteristics. TaRL focuses on identifying students’ actual learning levels through diagnostic assessment, flexible grouping, and appropriate learning interventions, while Deep Learning emphasizes three main principles: mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning. This study uses a literature review method to examine various previous studies on the implementation of Deep Learning based on Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) in fostering meaningful learning in elementary schools. The findings indicate that the integration of TaRL and Deep Learning can support differentiated learning by aligning learning materials, activities, media, and assistance with students’ ability levels. Previous studies also report improvements in learning outcomes, student engagement, motivation, conceptual understanding, and participation. However, its implementation faces several challenges, including the accuracy of diagnostic assessments, limited instructional time, large class sizes, teacher readiness, preparation of differentiated learning resources, and students’ and parents’ acceptance of ability-based grouping. Therefore, the integration of Deep Learning and TaRL has the potential to create adaptive, active, contextual, and meaningful learning experiences in elementary schools through continuous assessment, flexible grouping, appropriate learning strategies, and strong teacher and school support.

هدف این پژوهش تحلیل اجرای یادگیری عمیق مبتنی بر آموزش در سطح مناسب (Teaching at the Right Level یا TaRL) در ایجاد یادگیری معنادار در مدارس ابتدایی است. تنوع توانایی‌های دانش‌آموزان ایجاب می‌کند که معلمان تجربیات یادگیری متناسب با شایستگی‌های اولیه، نیازها و ویژگی‌های دانش‌آموزان فراهم کنند. TaRL بر شناسایی سطح واقعی یادگیری دانش‌آموزان از طریق ارزیابی تشخیصی، گروه‌بندی انعطاف‌پذیر و مداخلات آموزشی مناسب تمرکز دارد، در حالی که یادگیری عمیق سه اصل اصلی را مورد تأکید قرار می‌دهد: یادگیری آگاهانه، معنادار و لذت‌بخش. این پژوهش با استفاده از روش مرور ادبیات به بررسی مطالعات پیشین درباره اجرای یادگیری عمیق مبتنی بر آموزش در سطح مناسب (TaRL) در تقویت یادگیری معنادار در مدارس ابتدایی می‌پردازد. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که ادغام TaRL و یادگیری عمیق می‌تواند از یادگیری تفکیکی با همسویی مواد آموزشی، فعالیت‌ها، رسانه‌ها و حمایت‌ها با سطح توانایی دانش‌آموزان حمایت کند. مطالعات پیشین همچنین بهبود در نتایج یادگیری، مشارکت دانش‌آموزان، انگیزش، درک مفهومی و حضور را گزارش کرده‌اند. با این حال، اجرای آن با چالش‌هایی همچون دقت ارزیابی‌های تشخیصی، محدودیت زمان تدریس، تعداد زیاد دانش‌آموزان در کلاس، آمادگی معلمان، تهیه منابع یادگیری تفکیکی و پذیرش گروه‌بندی مبتنی بر توانایی توسط دانش‌آموزان و والدین مواجه است. بنابراین، ادغام یادگیری عمیق و TaRL این پتانسیل را دارد که از طریق ارزیابی مستمر، گروه‌بندی انعطاف‌پذیر، راهبردهای یادگیری مناسب و حمایت قوی معلم و مدرسه، تجربیات یادگیری سازگار، فعال، زمینه‌مند و معنادار را در مدارس ابتدایی ایجاد کند.

The transformation of 21st-century education demands the strengthening of higher-order thinking skills, known as the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration), along with the need for technology integration in the learning and assessment process. In the context of Sekolah Penggerak (Moving Schools), Indonesian language teachers have a strategic role in designing assessments that are oriented not only toward cognitive achievement but also toward developing students' competencies and character. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) approach in assessing 4C skills, formulate an effective TPACK-based 4C skills assessment model, and construct an applicable assessment concept for Indonesian language teachers at Sekolah Penggerak (Moving Schools) in Bali Province. This study used a mixed methods approach with an exploratory design. Qualitative data were obtained through observation, document study, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs), while quantitative data were collected through questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. The study subjects included Indonesian language teachers, school principals, and educational stakeholders at Sekolah Penggerak (Moving Schools) in Bali Province. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The research results show that Indonesian language teachers have positive perceptions of the implementation of the TPACK-based 4C skills assessment. The integration of technology into the assessment is considered capable of increasing student engagement, encouraging reflection on learning, and strengthening student-centered learning. The developed assessment model emphasizes the integration of learning objectives, pedagogical strategies, Indonesian language content, and the contextual use of digital technology. The resulting assessment concept is flexible, adaptive, and relevant to the characteristics of the Driving Schools and the implementation of the Independent Curriculum.

تحول آموزش قرن بیست و یکم مستلزم تقویت مهارت‌های تفکر سطح بالاتر، که به عنوان مهارت‌های 4C (تفکر انتقادی، خلاقیت، ارتباط و همکاری) شناخته می‌شوند، همراه با نیاز به ادغام فناوری در فرایند یاددهی و ارزیابی است. در زمینه مدارس پیشرو (Sekolah Penggerak)، معلمان زبان اندونزیایی نقش راهبردی در طراحی ارزیابی‌هایی دارند که نه تنها بر دستاوردهای شناختی بلکه بر توسعه شایستگی‌ها و شخصیت دانش‌آموزان نیز متمرکز است. هدف این پژوهش بررسی اجرای رویکرد دانش محتوایی-آموزشی-فناورانه (TPACK) در ارزیابی مهارت‌های 4C، تدوین یک مدل ارزیابی مؤثر مبتنی بر TPACK برای مهارت‌های 4C و ساخت یک مفهوم ارزیابی قابل اجرا برای معلمان زبان اندونزیایی در مدارس پیشرو استان بالی است. این پژوهش با رویکرد روش ترکیبی و طرح اکتشافی انجام شد. داده‌های کیفی از طریق مشاهده، مطالعه اسناد، مصاحبه‌های عمیق و بحث‌های گروهی متمرکز (FGD) گردآوری شد و داده‌های کمی از طریق پرسشنامه‌هایی که روایی و پایایی آن‌ها آزمون شده بود، جمع‌آوری گردید. شرکت‌کنندگان پژوهش شامل معلمان زبان اندونزیایی، مدیران مدارس و ذینفعان آموزشی مدارس پیشرو استان بالی بودند. داده‌های کیفی با استفاده از تحلیل تماتیک و داده‌های کمی با آمار توصیفی تحلیل شدند. نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که معلمان زبان اندونزیایی نگرش مثبتی نسبت به اجرای ارزیابی مهارت‌های 4C مبتنی بر TPACK دارند. ادغام فناوری در ارزیابی، موجب افزایش مشارکت دانش‌آموزان، تشویق به بازتاب یادگیری و تقویت یادگیری دانش‌آموزمحور می‌شود. مدل ارزیابی توسعه‌یافته بر ادغام اهداف یادگیری، راهبردهای آموزشی، محتوای زبان اندونزیایی و استفاده زمینه‌ای از فناوری دیجیتال تأکید دارد. مفهوم ارزیابی حاصل، انعطاف‌پذیر، سازگار و متناسب با ویژگی‌های مدارس پیشرو و اجرای برنامه درسی مستقل است.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Multiple Intelligences (MI)-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI), learning strategies, assessment, its impacts on students, and supporting and inhibiting factors from the perspective of Islamic epistemology. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The literature was searched using the keywords Multiple Intelligences, Islamic Religious Education, Islamic Education, and Pendidikan Agama Islam, and was analyzed through thematic synthesis of studies that met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that MI implementation involves planning based on the identification of students’ potential, learning activities using various methods, media, activities, and learning experiences, as well as multidimensional assessment. The strategies identified include discussion, demonstration, worship practices, role play, project-based learning, digital media, collaborative activities, reflection, and environment-based learning. These approaches have the potential to improve student engagement, motivation, creativity, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and learning outcomes. From the perspective of Islamic epistemology, MI can be positioned as a pedagogical framework that optimizes human potential through the integration of revelation, reason, empirical experience, and reflection. However, its implementation continues to face limitations related to teacher competence, time, facilities, and assessment. This review emphasizes that MI is more appropriately understood as a learning design framework for developing students’ potential holistically rather than as an instrument for labeling intelligence.

هدف این پژوهش تحلیل پیاده‌سازی آموزش دینی اسلامی (PAI) مبتنی بر هوش‌های چندگانه (MI)، راهبردهای یادگیری، ارزیابی، تأثیرات آن بر دانش‌آموزان و عوامل تسهیل‌کننده و بازدارنده از منظر معرفت‌شناسی اسلامی است. این مطالعه با بهره‌گیری از مرور نظام‌مند ادبیات (SLR) مطابق با دستورالعمل‌های PRISMA 2020 انجام شده است. جستجوی منابع با استفاده از کلیدواژه‌های Multiple Intelligences، Islamic Religious Education، Islamic Education و Pendidikan Agama Islam صورت گرفته و مطالعات واجد شرایط از طریق سنتز موضوعی تحلیل شده‌اند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که پیاده‌سازی MI شامل برنامه‌ریزی مبتنی بر شناسایی ظرفیت‌های دانش‌آموزان، فعالیت‌های یادگیری با بهره‌گیری از روش‌ها، رسانه‌ها، فعالیت‌ها و تجارب یادگیری متنوع و همچنین ارزیابی چندبعدی است. راهبردهای شناسایی‌شده شامل بحث، نمایش، تمرینات عبادی، ایفای نقش، یادگیری مبتنی بر پروژه، رسانه‌های دیجیتال، فعالیت‌های مشارکتی، تأمل و یادگیری مبتنی بر محیط می‌باشد. این رویکردها پتانسیل ارتقای مشارکت، انگیزه، خلاقیت، ارتباط، تفکر انتقادی، حل مسئله و پیامدهای یادگیری دانش‌آموزان را دارند. از منظر معرفت‌شناسی اسلامی، MI می‌تواند به عنوان چارچوبی تربیتی برای بهینه‌سازی ظرفیت‌های انسانی از طریق ادغام وحی، عقل، تجربه‌ی تجربی و تأمل جایگاه یابد. با این حال، اجرای آن همچنان با محدودیت‌هایی نظیر شایستگی معلمان، زمان، امکانات و ارزیابی مواجه است. این مرور تأکید می‌کند که MI بیشتر به عنوان چارچوبی برای طراحی یادگیری جهت توسعه‌ی همه‌جانبه‌ی ظرفیت‌های دانش‌آموزان قابل فهم است تا ابزاری برای برچسب‌زنی هوش.

This descriptive-correlational study examined the relationship between teacher–pupils’ interaction and the academic performance of Grade VI pupils in Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) at Bislig City SPED Center during School Year 2025–2026. The study involved 63 Grade VI pupils selected through complete enumeration. Teacher–pupils’ interaction was assessed in terms of emotional support, classroom management, and instructional support using the adapted Classroom Assessment Scoring System–Student Report (CLASS-SR), while academic performance was measured through official quarterly grades. Findings showed that teacher–pupils’ interaction was generally high, with emotional support consistently demonstrated and classroom management and instructional support often demonstrated. Pupils likewise exhibited generally very satisfactory academic performance. Correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant moderate positive relationship between teacher–pupils’ interaction and academic performance (r = 0.452, p < 0.05), indicating that stronger classroom interactions were associated with better academic outcomes. Based on the findings, interventions emphasizing emotional support, effective classroom management, instructional support, and learner engagement in values-based activities were proposed to further strengthen pupils’ performance in EsP.

این پژوهش توصیفی-همبستگی به بررسی رابطه بین تعامل معلم و دانش‌آموزان و عملکرد تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان پایه ششم در درس آموزش ارزش‌های انسانی (Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao یا EsP) در مرکز آموزش ویژه بیسلیگ سیتی در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵–۲۰۲۶ پرداخت. جامعه پژوهش شامل ۶۳ دانش‌آموز پایه ششم بود که به روش سرشماری کامل انتخاب شدند. تعامل معلم و دانش‌آموزان از نظر حمایت عاطفی، مدیریت کلاس و حمایت آموزشی با استفاده از نسخه اقتباس‌شده ابزار Classroom Assessment Scoring System–Student Report (CLASS-SR) ارزیابی شد و عملکرد تحصیلی از طریق نمرات رسمی فصلی سنجیده شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که تعامل معلم و دانش‌آموزان به طور کلی در سطح بالایی قرار دارد، به طوری که حمایت عاطفی به طور مستمر و مدیریت کلاس و حمایت آموزشی اغلب نشان داده می‌شود. همچنین، دانش‌آموزان به طور کلی عملکرد تحصیلی بسیار رضایت‌بخشی از خود نشان دادند. تحلیل همبستگی نشان داد که بین تعامل معلم و دانش‌آموزان و عملکرد تحصیلی رابطه مثبت متوسط و معناداری وجود دارد (r = 0.452, p < 0.05)، که بیانگر آن است که تعاملات قوی‌تر در کلاس با پیامدهای تحصیلی بهتر همراه است. بر اساس یافته‌ها، مداخلاتی با تأکید بر حمایت عاطفی، مدیریت مؤثر کلاس، حمایت آموزشی و مشارکت دانش‌آموزان در فعالیت‌های مبتنی بر ارزش‌ها برای تقویت بیشتر عملکرد دانش‌آموزان در EsP پیشنهاد شد.

Sustainable educational management has emerged as a critical policy focus for maintaining educational continuity in times of crisis, while also optimizing resource efficiency and institutional resilience. In Pakistan, the fuel-saving strategies enacted during lockdowns have posed considerable difficulties for educational administration by interrupting instructional and learning processes. In light of this context, this research offers a scenario-based evaluation to investigate the impact of fuel conservation regulations on educational interruptions and to determine sustainable management techniques that enable continuous educational provision during emergencies. Based on relevant research, policy records, global crisis cases, and Pakistan’s educational structure, four possible outcomes include sudden disruption, persisting disparity, systemic instability, and adaptive resilience. The scenario analysis shows that digital and blended learning can help maintain continuity during brief interruptions. However, disparities in connectivity, devices, socioeconomic resources, and geographically diverse educational infrastructure may worsen inequalities. Disruptions may cause disengagement, learning deficits, dropout rates, and long-term effects on human capital, but timely institutional changes can improve educational resilience. The study shows that educational continuity depends on the duration, intensity, and government and institutional responses to interruptions. The study emphasizes the need for policymakers to prioritize affordable digital access, targeted help for at-risk learners, adaptive delivery modalities, and coherent crisis-management techniques. The study proposes a policy-focused scenario paradigm that links fuel-saving methods to sustainable educational governance and resilience in a developing country.

مدیریت پایدار آموزش به عنوان یکی از محورهای اساسی سیاست‌گذاری برای حفظ تداوم آموزشی در دوران بحران و همچنین بهینه‌سازی بهره‌وری منابع و تاب‌آوری نهادی مطرح شده است. در پاکستان، راهبردهای صرفه‌جویی در سوخت که در دوران قرنطینه اجرا شده‌اند، با ایجاد اختلال در فرایندهای تدریس و یادگیری، مشکلات قابل توجهی را برای مدیریت آموزشی به وجود آورده‌اند. در این زمینه، این پژوهش با ارائه ارزیابی مبتنی بر سناریو، به بررسی تأثیر مقررات صرفه‌جویی در سوخت بر اختلالات آموزشی و شناسایی راهکارهای مدیریت پایدار که امکان تداوم ارائه آموزش در شرایط اضطراری را فراهم می‌کنند، می‌پردازد. بر اساس پژوهش‌های مرتبط، اسناد سیاستی، نمونه‌های جهانی بحران و ساختار آموزشی پاکستان، چهار پیامد محتمل شامل اختلال ناگهانی، تداوم نابرابری، بی‌ثباتی نظام‌مند و تاب‌آوری تطبیقی شناسایی شده‌اند. تحلیل سناریو نشان می‌دهد که آموزش دیجیتال و ترکیبی می‌تواند در دوره‌های کوتاه اختلال، تداوم آموزشی را حفظ کند؛ با این حال، نابرابری در دسترسی به اینترنت، تجهیزات، منابع اقتصادی-اجتماعی و زیرساخت‌های آموزشی متنوع جغرافیایی ممکن است نابرابری‌ها را تشدید کند. اختلالات می‌تواند منجر به کاهش مشارکت، کسری یادگیری، افزایش نرخ ترک تحصیل و آثار بلندمدت بر سرمایه انسانی شود، اما تغییرات نهادی به موقع می‌تواند تاب‌آوری آموزشی را بهبود بخشد. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که تداوم آموزش به مدت، شدت و واکنش دولت و نهادها نسبت به اختلالات بستگی دارد. این پژوهش بر ضرورت اولویت‌بخشی به دسترسی دیجیتال مقرون‌به‌صرفه، حمایت هدفمند از دانش‌آموزان در معرض خطر، شیوه‌های ارائه تطبیقی و راهبردهای منسجم مدیریت بحران توسط سیاست‌گذاران تأکید می‌کند. این مطالعه، الگوی سناریومحور مبتنی بر سیاست را پیشنهاد می‌کند که روش‌های صرفه‌جویی در سوخت را به حکمرانی پایدار آموزشی و تاب‌آوری در یک کشور در حال توسعه پیوند می‌دهد.

Suicidal ideation (SI) fluctuates rapidly within individuals, but standard ecological momentary assessment (EMA) uses fixed schedules that miss critical risk windows. We present ARES-SI (Adaptive Reinforcement-Enhanced Sampling for Suicidal Ideation), a reinforcement learning system that personalizes EMA timing to individual risk patterns. ARES-SI combines random forest models to predict active SI probability and non-response likelihood with a Q-learning algorithm to determine optimal assessment intervals (30 min for high-risk states, 3 h for low-risk states, and next day to reduce burden). We trained the system using EMA data from 98 participants across three studies with varied sampling frequencies (4–15 assessments per day; 2359 positive active SI responses) over 28-day protocols. In validation testing ( N = 34; 374 positive active SI responses), the random forest models achieved an AUC of 0.865 for active SI and 0.750 for non-response. ARES-SI demonstrated 65% higher action selection accuracy than random scheduling (0.781 vs. 0.474; macro F1 = 0.650 vs. 0.377), with stronger detection of high-risk windows (30-min recall = 0.810 vs. 0.392) and efficient low-risk scheduling (3-h precision = 0.972 vs. 0.876). These findings provide initial evidence that reinforcement learning can adapt assessment timing to momentary risk.

افکار خودکشی (SI) به‌سرعت درون افراد نوسان می‌کند، اما ارزیابی لحظه‌ای بوم‌شناختی (EMA) استاندارد از برنامه‌های زمانی ثابت استفاده می‌کند که پنجره‌های بحرانی خطر را از دست می‌دهد. ما سامانه ARES-SI (نمونه‌برداری تقویت‌شده تطبیقی برای افکار خودکشی) را معرفی می‌کنیم که یک سامانه یادگیری تقویتی است و زمان‌بندی EMA را بر اساس الگوهای خطر فردی شخصی‌سازی می‌کند. ARES-SI مدل‌های جنگل تصادفی را برای پیش‌بینی احتمال SI فعال و احتمال عدم پاسخ‌دهی با الگوریتم Q-learning ترکیب می‌کند تا فواصل بهینه ارزیابی را تعیین کند (۳۰ دقیقه برای وضعیت‌های پرخطر، ۳ ساعت برای وضعیت‌های کم‌خطر و روز بعد برای کاهش بار). این سامانه با استفاده از داده‌های EMA از ۹۸ شرکت‌کننده در سه مطالعه با فرکانس‌های نمونه‌برداری متفاوت (۴ تا ۱۵ ارزیابی در روز؛ ۲۳۵۹ پاسخ مثبت SI فعال) طی پروتکل‌های ۲۸ روزه آموزش داده شد. در آزمون اعتبارسنجی (N = 34؛ ۳۷۴ پاسخ مثبت SI فعال)، مدل‌های جنگل تصادفی به AUC برابر با ۰.۸۶۵ برای SI فعال و ۰.۷۵۰ برای عدم پاسخ‌دهی دست یافتند. ARES-SI دقت انتخاب عمل را ۶۵٪ بالاتر از زمان‌بندی تصادفی نشان داد (۰.۷۸۱ در مقابل ۰.۴۷۴؛ F1 کلان = ۰.۶۵۰ در مقابل ۰.۳۷۷)، با شناسایی قوی‌تر پنجره‌های پرخطر (یادآوری ۳۰ دقیقه‌ای = ۰.۸۱۰ در مقابل ۰.۳۹۲) و زمان‌بندی کارآمد برای وضعیت‌های کم‌خطر (دقت ۳ ساعته = ۰.۹۷۲ در مقابل ۰.۸۷۶). این یافته‌ها شواهد اولیه‌ای ارائه می‌کنند که یادگیری تقویتی می‌تواند زمان‌بندی ارزیابی را با خطر لحظه‌ای تطبیق دهد.

The persistent shortage of skilled labour and high youth unemployment have rendered learnership programmes a crucial policy instrument for workforce development and socio-economic inclusion in South Africa. Notwithstanding an extensive legislative and institutional framework, concerns persist regarding the limited effectiveness of these programmes in meeting industry skills demands. This study investigates the systemic constraints that undermine the implementation and effectiveness of construction learnership programmes in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, with a focus on the gap between policy intent and practice. A descriptive, cross-sectional design was employed, utilising a structured questionnaire administered to 149 stakeholders, including employers, accredited training providers, and construction industry practitioners occupying roles such as project managers, administrative officers, supervisors, facilitators, and coordinators involved in learnership delivery. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce the 34 observed barriers into a smaller set of interpretable components. The barrier items with the strongest loadings on the retained components included ineffective assessment methods, lack of regulatory compliance, and financial constraints on beneficiaries. The PCA reduced the barriers to five interrelated components, which collectively explain 69.73% of the total variance, indicating that the constraints are systemic rather than isolated. The findings underscore the necessity for strengthened inter-institutional collaboration, enhanced industry incentives, alignment of curricula with evolving construction practices, and robust quality-assurance mechanisms to translate learnership policy ambitions into effective practice. These findings contribute to the development of a resilient construction workforce in the Eastern Cape and, by extension, South Africa's broader construction sector.

کمبود مداوم نیروی کار ماهر و نرخ بالای بیکاری جوانان، برنامه‌های کارآموزی را به ابزاری سیاستی حیاتی برای توسعه نیروی کار و شمول اجتماعی در آفریقای جنوبی تبدیل کرده است. با وجود چارچوب قانونی و نهادی گسترده، نگرانی‌هایی درباره اثربخشی محدود این برنامه‌ها در پاسخ‌گویی به نیازهای مهارتی صنعت همچنان وجود دارد. این مطالعه به بررسی محدودیت‌های نظام‌مندی می‌پردازد که اجرای برنامه‌های کارآموزی ساخت‌وساز و اثربخشی آن‌ها را در استان Eastern Cape آفریقای جنوبی تضعیف می‌کند و بر فاصله میان هدف سیاستی و عمل تمرکز دارد. این پژوهش با طراحی توصیفی و مقطعی انجام شد و از پرسشنامه ساختاریافته‌ای استفاده گردید که به ۱۴۹ ذینفع شامل کارفرمایان، ارائه‌دهندگان آموزش معتبر و فعالان صنعت ساخت‌وساز در نقش‌هایی چون مدیر پروژه، کارمند اداری، سرپرست، تسهیل‌گر و هماهنگ‌کننده‌های دخیل در اجرای کارآموزی ارائه شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی و تحلیل مؤلفه‌های اصلی (PCA) برای کاهش ۳۴ مانع مشاهده‌شده به مجموعه‌ای کوچکتر از مؤلفه‌های قابل تفسیر تحلیل شدند. آیتم‌های مانع با بیشترین بار عاملی بر مؤلفه‌های حفظ‌شده شامل روش‌های ارزیابی غیرموثر، عدم رعایت مقررات و محدودیت‌های مالی برای ذینفعان بودند. تحلیل مؤلفه‌های اصلی، موانع را به پنج مؤلفه مرتبط کاهش داد که در مجموع ۶۹٫۷۳٪ از واریانس کل را تبیین می‌کنند و نشان می‌دهد که این محدودیت‌ها نظام‌مند و نه منفرد هستند. یافته‌ها بر ضرورت تقویت همکاری‌های بین‌نهادی، افزایش مشوق‌های صنعتی، همسویی برنامه‌های درسی با شیوه‌های نوین ساخت‌وساز و سازوکارهای تضمین کیفیت قوی برای تبدیل اهداف سیاستی کارآموزی به عمل مؤثر تأکید دارند. این یافته‌ها به توسعه نیروی کار مقاوم در بخش ساخت‌وساز استان Eastern Cape و به تبع آن، بخش ساخت‌وساز وسیع‌تر آفریقای جنوبی کمک می‌کند.

Independent assignments and classroom presentations require clear assessment criteria and actionable feedback. This study aimed to develop the SELSA evaluation model in the Elementary School Teacher Education program at Universitas Tribuana Kalabahi. Research and development comprised needs analysis, design, and development without effectiveness testing. Data were obtained from 72 fourth-semester students selected through proportionate stratified random sampling, a lecturer interview, and classroom observations. Descriptive quantitative and qualitative analyses informed the model. Perceived attainment reached 74.6% for assignments, 89.8% for presentations, 82.7% for motivation, and 88.7% for model needs. Qualitative findings identified unclear criteria, uneven participation, inconsistent feedback, and missing structured rubrics. The resulting model integrates orientation, authentic assignments, exploration, presentation, discussion, rubric-based assessment, feedback, and reflection with revision. Guidelines and assessment formats support its proposed use. SELSA connects learning evidence with improvement in teacher education; its practicality and effectiveness require subsequent testing

Background Faculty development grant programs are strategic levers for improving teaching quality, curriculum design, and student learning, yet longitudinal evaluations remain scarce. In this study, we assess King Saud University's Program for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (PELT)— an early university-wide faculty teaching-grant initiative —examining its implementation, faculty uptake, and programmatic evolution over a decade. Methods Using a longitudinal, multi-source program-evaluation design, we analyzed eight PELT cycles through 157 completed grants, faculty ( n = 108) and student ( n = 413) surveys, and descriptive benchmarking against 11 international peers. Survey data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and selected faculty ratings were compared using Mann–Whitney U -tests. Results PELT evolved from a high-volume inaugural phase (71 grants) to a more selective model (6–11 grants annually) with a 95.7% completion rate. Participation remained broadly balanced across Humanities (34.4%), Science (30.6%), and Health (28.0%), supporting cross-disciplinary engagement. Teaching and assessment strategies (51% of funded projects) consistently dominated, with targeted emphases on job-market skills and e-learning in specific cycles. Among student respondents, 71.9% prioritized professional skills for employability, 52% favored problem-based learning, and 57% preferred project-based assessment over traditional exams. Successful grantees reported high overall satisfaction with the program (mean = 4.5/5), whereas non-applicants highlighted awareness gaps (54.5%) and workload constraints (33.3%) as key barriers. A statistically significant perceptual divide emerged between accepted and rejected applicants ( p ≤ 0.001), and international benchmarking positioned PELT in alignment with corresponding teaching-grant schemes. Conclusions PELT offers a replicable model for university teaching-grant schemes that combines faculty development, student-centered priorities, and longitudinal evolution. The findings support strategies such as targeted outreach, formalized resubmission pathways, and tiered funding to advance pedagogical innovation and strengthen educational development.

زمینه و هدف: برنامه‌های اعطای گرنت توسعه اعضای هیئت علمی، اهرم‌های راهبردی برای ارتقای کیفیت تدریس، طراحی برنامه درسی و یادگیری دانشجویان هستند، با این حال ارزیابی‌های طولی آن‌ها همچنان نادر است. در این مطالعه، برنامه تعالی در یادگیری و تدریس (PELT) دانشگاه King Saud—به عنوان یکی از نخستین ابتکارات اعطای گرنت تدریس در سطح دانشگاه—از نظر اجرا، مشارکت اعضای هیئت علمی و تحول برنامه‌ای طی یک دهه مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفته است. روش‌ها: با استفاده از یک طرح ارزیابی برنامه‌ای طولی و چندمنبعی، هشت دوره PELT از طریق ۱۵۷ گرنت تکمیل‌شده، پرسشنامه‌های اعضای هیئت علمی (n = 108) و دانشجویان (n = 413) و بنچمارک توصیفی با ۱۱ دانشگاه بین‌المللی همتا تحلیل شد. داده‌های پرسشنامه با آمار توصیفی تحلیل گردید و ارزیابی‌های منتخب اعضای هیئت علمی با آزمون Mann–Whitney U مقایسه شد. یافته‌ها: PELT از یک فاز آغازین با حجم بالا (۷۱ گرنت) به مدلی گزینشی‌تر (۶ تا ۱۱ گرنت سالانه) با نرخ تکمیل ۹۵/۷٪ تحول یافت. مشارکت در سه حوزه علوم انسانی (۳۴/۴٪)، علوم پایه (۳۰/۶٪) و سلامت (۲۸/۰٪) به طور گسترده متوازن باقی ماند و از تعامل میان‌رشته‌ای حمایت کرد. راهبردهای تدریس و ارزیابی (۵۱٪ پروژه‌های تأمین مالی‌شده) همواره غالب بودند و در برخی دوره‌ها بر مهارت‌های بازار کار و آموزش الکترونیکی تأکید ویژه شد. در میان پاسخ‌دهندگان دانشجو، ۷۱/۹٪ مهارت‌های حرفه‌ای برای اشتغال‌پذیری را در اولویت قرار دادند، ۵۲٪ یادگیری مبتنی بر مسئله را ترجیح دادند و ۵۷٪ ارزیابی مبتنی بر پروژه را به آزمون‌های سنتی ترجیح دادند. دریافت‌کنندگان موفق گرنت رضایت کلی بالایی از برنامه گزارش کردند (میانگین = ۴/۵ از ۵)، در حالی که غیرمتقاضیان، کمبود آگاهی (۵۴/۵٪) و محدودیت‌های حجم کار (۳۳/۳٪) را به عنوان موانع اصلی مطرح کردند. شکاف ادراکی معناداری بین متقاضیان پذیرفته‌شده و ردشده مشاهده شد (p ≤ 0.001) و بنچمارک بین‌المللی، PELT را هم‌راستا با طرح‌های مشابه گرنت تدریس قرار داد. نتیجه‌گیری: PELT مدلی قابل تکرار برای طرح‌های گرنت تدریس دانشگاهی ارائه می‌دهد که توسعه اعضای هیئت علمی، اولویت‌های دانشجومحور و تحول طولی را ترکیب می‌کند. یافته‌ها از راهبردهایی مانند اطلاع‌رسانی هدفمند، مسیرهای رسمی بازارسال و تأمین مالی طبقه‌بندی‌شده برای پیشبرد نوآوری آموزشی و تقویت توسعه آموزشی حمایت می‌کند.

Background External ventricular drainage (EVD) is an important intervention in the management of patients with severe neurological conditions, and standardized nursing care is essential for preventing complications and ensuring patient safety. Nurses’ knowledge of recommended EVD care practices is an important foundation for safe and evidence-based care. However, existing instruments for assessing EVD-related nursing knowledge are often lengthy or have limited psychometric validation, which may restrict their use in routine clinical assessment and large-scale training. Therefore, a brief, reliable, and psychometrically robust instrument is needed to efficiently assess nurses’ knowledge of EVD care practices and identify areas requiring targeted education. Aim To translate and culturally adapt the Short Knowledge Test to Evaluate Awareness of External Ventricular Drain Care Practices and evaluate its psychometric properties among Chinese nurses using the Rasch model, thereby providing a reliable tool for the rapid assessment of nurses’ self-reported knowledge of recommended EVD care practices and the identification of targeted training needs. Method The original scale was translated and culturally adapted into Chinese using the Brislin forward–backward translation method, resulting in the Chinese version of the Short Knowledge Test to Evaluate Awareness of External Ventricular Drain Care Practices (C-SKT-EVD). A cross-sectional survey was conducted among clinical nurses recruited from First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University, Liaoning Province, mainland China. 242 valid participants included in the final analysis. Descriptive statistics were performed using SPSS version 26.0, and the psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated using the Rasch Rating Scale Model in Winsteps version 3.72.3, focusing on unidimensionality, item fit, category functioning, item–person distribution, test information function, separation indices and reliability, and differential item functioning (DIF). Results The empirical variance explained by the measures was 55.1%, and the eigenvalue of the first contrast was 1.4, supporting the unidimensionality of the C-SKT-EVD. The Infit mean-square (MNSQ) values for the seven items ranged from 0.94 to 1.16, while the Outfit MNSQ values ranged from 0.94 to 1.07, all indicating acceptable fit to the Rasch model. The point-measure correlation coefficients (PT-Measure Corr.) ranged from 0.63 to 0.70, suggesting good alignment between the items and the underlying latent construct. The observed average measures across the five rating categories increased monotonically, and the category thresholds were ordered sequentially. The category probability curves also showed clearly defined peaks, indicating that the rating categories functioned well and that no category collapsing was required. The item difficulty distribution was generally well matched to the respondents’ levels of self-reported EVD care knowledge, and the test information function indicated higher measurement precision around the average level of the measured construct, with relatively less information provided for respondents with extremely high or low levels of the latent trait. Conclusion The C-SKT-EVD demonstrated generally acceptable Rasch measurement properties in the present sample of Chinese nurses, providing preliminary evidence for its use as a brief screening and educational assessment tool for self-reported knowledge of recommended EVD care practices. However, these findings do not establish comprehensive validity or objective clinical competence. Further multicenter studies in diverse nursing populations are needed to confirm its broader applicability.

زمینه: درناژ بطنی خارجی (EVD) یک مداخله مهم در مدیریت بیماران با شرایط شدید نورولوژیک است و مراقبت پرستاری استاندارد برای پیشگیری از عوارض و تضمین ایمنی بیمار ضروری است. دانش پرستاران درباره مراقبت‌های توصیه‌شده EVD، پایه‌ای مهم برای مراقبت ایمن و مبتنی بر شواهد به‌شمار می‌رود. با این حال، ابزارهای موجود برای سنجش دانش پرستاری مرتبط با EVD اغلب طولانی یا دارای روایی و پایایی روان‌سنجی محدودی هستند که ممکن است استفاده از آن‌ها را در ارزیابی‌های بالینی روتین و آموزش‌های وسیع محدود کند. بنابراین، وجود ابزاری کوتاه، پایا و دارای ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی قوی برای سنجش کارآمد دانش پرستاران درباره مراقبت‌های EVD و شناسایی حوزه‌های نیازمند آموزش هدفمند ضروری است. هدف: ترجمه و بومی‌سازی فرهنگی آزمون کوتاه دانش برای ارزیابی آگاهی از مراقبت‌های درناژ بطنی خارجی و ارزیابی ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی آن در میان پرستاران چینی با استفاده از مدل Rasch، به‌منظور ارائه ابزاری پایا برای ارزیابی سریع دانش خودگزارشی پرستاران از مراقبت‌های توصیه‌شده EVD و شناسایی نیازهای آموزشی هدفمند. روش: مقیاس اصلی با استفاده از روش ترجمه پیشرو–پسرو Brislin به زبان چینی ترجمه و بومی‌سازی فرهنگی شد و نسخه چینی آزمون کوتاه دانش برای ارزیابی آگاهی از مراقبت‌های درناژ بطنی خارجی (C-SKT-EVD) حاصل گردید. یک مطالعه مقطعی در میان پرستاران بالینی شاغل در بیمارستان وابسته اول دانشگاه علوم پزشکی Jinzhou، استان لیائونینگ، چین انجام شد. ۲۴۲ شرکت‌کننده معتبر در تحلیل نهایی وارد شدند. آمار توصیفی با استفاده از SPSS نسخه ۲۶.۰ انجام شد و ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی مقیاس با مدل Rasch Rating Scale در نرم‌افزار Winsteps نسخه ۳.۷۲.۳ ارزیابی گردید و بر یک‌بعدی بودن، برازش ماده، عملکرد دسته‌بندی، توزیع ماده–فرد، تابع اطلاعات آزمون، شاخص‌های جداسازی و پایایی، و عملکرد افتراقی ماده (DIF) تمرکز شد. نتایج: واریانس تجربی تبیین‌شده توسط اندازه‌گیری‌ها ۵۵.۱٪ بود و مقدار ویژه اولین کنتراست ۱.۴ به‌دست آمد که یک‌بعدی بودن C-SKT-EVD را تأیید می‌کند. مقادیر Infit میانگین مربع (MNSQ) برای هفت ماده بین ۰.۹۴ تا ۱.۱۶ و مقادیر Outfit MNSQ بین ۰.۹۴ تا ۱.۰۷ بود که همگی برازش قابل قبول به مدل Rasch را نشان می‌دهند. ضرایب همبستگی نقطه–اندازه‌گیری (PT-Measure Corr.) بین ۰.۶۳ تا ۰.۷۰ بود که هم‌راستایی خوب مواد با سازه نهفته را نشان می‌دهد. میانگین اندازه‌گیری مشاهده‌شده در پنج دسته‌بندی امتیازدهی به‌صورت یکنواخت افزایش یافت و آستانه‌های دسته‌بندی به‌ترتیب مرتب بودند. منحنی‌های احتمال دسته‌بندی نیز اوج‌های مشخصی داشتند که نشان‌دهنده عملکرد مناسب دسته‌بندی‌ها و عدم نیاز به ادغام دسته‌ها بود. توزیع دشواری مواد به‌طور کلی با سطح دانش خودگزارشی مراقبت EVD پاسخ‌دهندگان تطابق داشت و تابع اطلاعات آزمون دقت اندازه‌گیری بالاتری را در سطح متوسط سازه اندازه‌گیری‌شده نشان داد، در حالی که برای پاسخ‌دهندگان با سطوح بسیار بالا یا پایین ویژگی نهفته، اطلاعات نسبتاً کمتری فراهم شد. نتیجه‌گیری: C-SKT-EVD در نمونه حاضر از پرستاران چینی ویژگی‌های اندازه‌گیری Rasch قابل قبولی را نشان داد و شواهد اولیه‌ای برای استفاده از آن به‌عنوان ابزار غربالگری و ارزیابی آموزشی کوتاه برای دانش خودگزارشی مراقبت‌های توصیه‌شده EVD فراهم کرد. با این حال، این یافته‌ها روایی جامع یا شایستگی بالینی عینی را اثبات نمی‌کند. مطالعات چندمرکزی بیشتر در جمعیت‌های متنوع پرستاری برای تأیید کاربرد وسیع‌تر آن مورد نیاز است.

While extensive research has examined refugee students’ educational adaptation in host countries, the educational reintegration phase following voluntary return remains underexplored. This qualitative study investigates the linguistic and academic adaptation experiences of Syrian students transitioning from Turkish-medium education in Türkiye to Arabic-medium schooling in Syria after voluntary return. The study addresses an overarching question: how do returnee students experience the linguistic, academic, social, and psychosocial dimensions of this reverse educational transition? Using an exploratory qualitative design, data were collected through a seven-item open-ended written questionnaire from 15 middle-school students who had received several years of formal schooling in Türkiye. Qualitative content analysis revealed that return does not constitute a simple linguistic recovery, but rather a reverse academic transition characterized by profound difficulties with academic Arabic, conceptual transfer, written production, and in-class assessment practices. The findings indicate that students’ challenges were shaped not only by uneven Arabic literacy development but also by curriculum misalignment, pedagogical practices that participants perceived as more teacher-directed, limited peer interaction, and assessment practices that they perceived as unclear. Furthermore, psychosocial pressures, including re-migration-related distress, concentration difficulties, and increased family responsibilities, complicated their academic adaptation. Ultimately, these struggles reflect systemic institutional and contextual mismatches rather than individual deficits. By conceptualizing return as a distinct educational phase, this study contributes to the broader discourses on refugee education and bilingualism. The implications underscore the critical need for academic Arabic bridging programs, background-sensitive assessment frameworks, psychosocially responsive pedagogies, and school-based psychosocial support to ensure equitable reintegration into Arabic-medium schooling.

در حالی که پژوهش‌های گسترده‌ای به بررسی سازگاری آموزشی دانش‌آموزان پناهنده در کشورهای میزبان پرداخته‌اند، مرحله بازپذیری آموزشی پس از بازگشت داوطلبانه همچنان کمتر مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. این مطالعه کیفی به بررسی تجارب سازگاری زبانی و تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان سوری می‌پردازد که پس از بازگشت داوطلبانه از آموزش به زبان ترکی در ترکیه به مدرسه‌ عربی‌زبان در سوریه منتقل شده‌اند. این پژوهش به یک پرسش کلی می‌پردازد: دانش‌آموزان بازگشته چگونه ابعاد زبانی، تحصیلی، اجتماعی و روانی‌اجتماعی این گذار معکوس آموزشی را تجربه می‌کنند؟ با استفاده از طرح کیفی اکتشافی، داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه کتبی هفت‌سؤالی بازپاسخ از ۱۵ دانش‌آموز مقطع راهنمایی که چندین سال آموزش رسمی در ترکیه دیده بودند، گردآوری شد. تحلیل محتوای کیفی نشان داد که بازگشت صرفاً به معنای بازیابی ساده زبانی نیست، بلکه گذار تحصیلی معکوسی است که با دشواری‌های عمیق در زبان عربی علمی، انتقال مفهومی، تولید نوشتاری و شیوه‌های ارزشیابی کلاسی همراه است. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که چالش‌های دانش‌آموزان نه تنها ناشی از رشد نامتوازن سواد عربی، بلکه ناشی از عدم انطباق برنامه درسی، شیوه‌های آموزشی معلم‌محورتر از نگاه شرکت‌کنندگان، تعامل محدود با همسالان و شیوه‌های ارزشیابی مبهم از دیدگاه آنان بوده است. همچنین فشارهای روانی‌اجتماعی، از جمله تنش‌های مرتبط با مهاجرت مجدد، دشواری‌های تمرکز و افزایش مسئولیت‌های خانوادگی، سازگاری تحصیلی آنان را پیچیده‌تر کرده است. در نهایت، این مشکلات بازتابی از ناسازگاری‌های نهادی و زمینه‌ای نظام‌مند است و نه کمبودهای فردی. با مفهوم‌پردازی بازگشت به عنوان یک مرحله آموزشی متمایز، این مطالعه به گفتمان‌های گسترده‌تر آموزش پناهندگان و دوزبانگی کمک می‌کند. پیامدهای پژوهش بر ضرورت برنامه‌های پل زبانی برای عربی علمی، چارچوب‌های ارزشیابی حساس به پیشینه، رویکردهای آموزشی پاسخگو به نیازهای روانی‌اجتماعی و حمایت روانی‌اجتماعی مبتنی بر مدرسه برای تضمین بازپذیری عادلانه در مدارس عربی‌زبان تأکید دارد.

This study employed a Cumulative Link Mixed Model (CLMM) to examine the relationship between Japanese learners’ filler use and OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview) level ratings. The results showed no significant association with proficiency for the i (い)-group, u (う)-group, ano (あの)-group, and eeto (ええと)-group fillers. In contrast, the a (あ)-group, e (え)-group, o (お)-group, and n (ん)-group fillers were significantly negatively associated with higher proficiency, while the use of maa (まあ)-group and sono (その)-group fillers was significantly positively associated with higher proficiency. Furthermore, an analysis of maa (まあ)-group and sono (その)-group fillers based on their functions and discourse roles showed that turn-internal maa (まあ) and inferential/re-presenting sono (その) require at least two clauses to be produced. This indicates a connection with paragraph-level language production, which is one of the criteria for ‘Text Type’ in OPI assessment. It was also found that the use of these fillers with such functions is significantly positively associated with higher proficiency. On the other hand, for fillers such as ano (あの) and eeto (ええと), as well as maa (まあ) used in adjacency pairs, no significant increase with proficiency was observed, confirming that their use is not associated with paragraph-level production. The use of fillers linked to paragraph-level production can be considered one of the key linguistic factors that can help explain the relationship between filler use and the development of oral language proficiency.

این مطالعه با بهره‌گیری از مدل تجمعی پیوندی آمیخته (CLMM)، رابطهٔ میان استفاده از پرکننده‌ها توسط زبان‌آموزان ژاپنی و نمرات سطح OPI (مصاحبهٔ سنجش مهارت گفتاری) را بررسی کرد. نتایج نشان داد که برای پرکننده‌های گروه i (い)، گروه u (う)، گروه ano (あの) و گروه eeto (ええと)، ارتباط معناداری با مهارت زبان مشاهده نشد. در مقابل، پرکننده‌های گروه a (あ)، گروه e (え)، گروه o (お) و گروه n (ん) به طور معناداری با مهارت بالاتر زبان رابطهٔ منفی داشتند، در حالی که استفاده از پرکننده‌های گروه maa (まあ) و گروه sono (その) به طور معناداری با مهارت بالاتر زبان رابطهٔ مثبت داشت. افزون بر این، تحلیل پرکننده‌های گروه maa (まあ) و گروه sono (その) بر اساس کارکردها و نقش‌های گفتمانی آن‌ها نشان داد که maa (まあ) درون‌نوبتی و sono (その) استنتاجی/بازنمایی‌کننده برای تولید شدن، دست‌کم به دو جمله نیاز دارند. این امر نشان‌دهندهٔ ارتباط با تولید زبانی در سطح بند است که یکی از ملاک‌های «نوع متن» در ارزیابی OPI می‌باشد. همچنین مشخص شد که استفاده از این پرکننده‌ها با چنین کارکردهایی، به طور معناداری با مهارت بالاتر زبان رابطهٔ مثبت دارد. از سوی دیگر، برای پرکننده‌هایی مانند ano (あの) و eeto (ええと) و نیز maa (まあ) که در جفت‌های مجاورت به کار می‌رود، افزایش معناداری با مهارت زبان مشاهده نشد و این امر تأیید می‌کند که استفاده از آن‌ها با تولید در سطح بند مرتبط نیست. استفاده از پرکننده‌هایی که با تولید در سطح بند مرتبط‌اند، می‌تواند به عنوان یکی از عوامل کلیدی زبانی در تبیین رابطهٔ میان استفاده از پرکننده‌ها و رشد مهارت گفتاری زبان مطرح شود.

Teaching excellence in higher education is often conceptualized through isolated dimensions such as instructional quality, assessment practices, or technological integration. However, these approaches may overlook the dynamic and interdependent nature of educational processes. This study presents a critical analytical reflection aimed at synthesizing high-level evidence and proposing an integrative conceptual model of teaching excellence. An interpretative synthesis was conducted using 35 high-level studies (systematic reviews, meta-analyses, umbrella reviews, and scoping reviews) published between 2015 and 2025, complemented by five international policy reports. The analysis followed a thematic and iterative approach supported by an analytical matrix, coding procedures, and conceptual triangulation. The findings reveal convergence across five interrelated dimensions: teacher–student interaction, higher-order cognitive processes, pedagogical strategies, formative and authentic assessment, and digital technologies. These dimensions are conceptualized as interconnected elements embedded within teaching and learning processes rather than as independent components. Based on this convergence, the study proposes the Dynamic Pyramidal Model of Teaching Excellence, which conceptualizes excellence as an integrative construct organized through the interaction and alignment of multiple educational dimensions. The model integrates relational, cognitive, pedagogical, evaluative, technological, contextual, and individual factors within a dynamic system characterized by continuous feedback. The proposed framework integrates dimensions commonly addressed separately in the literature and provides a conceptual basis for future empirical validation across diverse higher-education contexts.

شایستگی تدریس در آموزش عالی اغلب از طریق ابعاد مجزایی نظیر کیفیت تدریس، شیوه‌های ارزشیابی یا ادغام فناوری conceptualized می‌شود. با این حال، این رویکردها ممکن است ماهیت پویا و وابسته به هم فرایندهای آموزشی را نادیده بگیرند. این مطالعه با هدف ارائه یک بازتاب تحلیلی انتقادی و تلفیق شواهد سطح بالا، به ارائه یک مدل مفهومی یکپارچه از شایستگی تدریس می‌پردازد. سنتز تفسیری با استفاده از ۳۵ مطالعه سطح بالا (مرور نظام‌مند، فراتحلیل، مرور چتری و مرور گسترده) که بین سال‌های ۲۰۱۵ تا ۲۰۲۵ منتشر شده‌اند، و همچنین پنج گزارش سیاست‌گذاری بین‌المللی تکمیل شده است. تحلیل بر اساس رویکردی موضوعی و تکرارشونده، با پشتیبانی از ماتریس تحلیلی، رویه‌های کدگذاری و مثلث‌سازی مفهومی انجام شد. یافته‌ها همگرایی در پنج بعد مرتبط را نشان می‌دهد: تعامل معلم و دانشجو، فرایندهای شناختی سطح بالا، راهبردهای آموزشی، ارزشیابی تکوینی و اصیل، و فناوری‌های دیجیتال. این ابعاد به عنوان عناصر درهم‌تنیده در فرایندهای تدریس و یادگیری conceptualized می‌شوند و نه به عنوان اجزای مستقل. بر اساس این همگرایی، مطالعه حاضر مدل هرمی پویای شایستگی تدریس را پیشنهاد می‌کند که شایستگی را به عنوان یک سازه یکپارچه سازمان‌یافته از طریق تعامل و همسویی ابعاد مختلف آموزشی conceptualizes می‌کند. این مدل، عوامل ارتباطی، شناختی، آموزشی، ارزشیابانه، فناورانه، زمینه‌ای و فردی را در یک نظام پویا با بازخورد مستمر ادغام می‌کند. چارچوب پیشنهادی ابعادی را که معمولاً در ادبیات به صورت جداگانه بررسی می‌شوند، یکپارچه ساخته و مبنایی مفهومی برای اعتبارسنجی تجربی آینده در زمینه‌های متنوع آموزش عالی فراهم می‌آورد.

Men’s sexual health is an important aspect of public health that requires focused attention and thorough analysis. A comprehensive evaluation must consider various health issues from multiple perspectives. Clinical registries are vital for tracking male sexual health and follow-up data; however, the absence of a standardized data collection tool hinders the systematic documentation of male sexual health from an information management standpoint. As a result, the data collected often lacks comparability, which limits the generalizability of the findings. This study aims to develop a minimum data set (MDS) as an initial step toward creating a male sexual health registry. This study was conducted from January 8, 2024, to March 20, 2025, using a multi-phased approach. We began by compiling a list of potential data items through a search of scientific databases, a review of grey literature, and an examination of existing information systems, forms, and websites related to male sexual health. Next, we applied a modified Delphi technique, which involved a two-round survey with a panel of 27 experts in clinical practice and research focused on male sexual health. These experts rated the importance of each candidate data item for inclusion in the MDS using afour-point Likert scale. Items that received an agreement level of 80% or higher were accepted for inclusion in the final MDS. Finally, we evaluated the content validity of the developed MDS using the content validity ratio (CVR) and the content validity index (CVI) criteria. The finalized MDS for male sexual health assessment comprises 105 items, organized into six distinct categories, including sociodemographic factors, relationship status, sexual behaviors and functions, awareness of sexual self-examination, sexual protective behaviors, and clinical history. This MDS is developed to assist registry designers and administrators in selecting the necessary data items for a male sexual health assessment registry system. Its purpose is to facilitate the design and implementation of a standardized registry and support the systematic collection of high-quality data. The MDS may also provide a useful foundation for improving the availability and consistency of information relevant to male sexual health care. However, further research is needed to evaluate its implementation, feasibility, and potential impact on clinical decision-making and quality of care.

سلامت جنسی مردان یکی از جنبه‌های مهم سلامت عمومی است که نیازمند توجه ویژه و تحلیل جامع می‌باشد. ارزیابی جامع باید مسائل مختلف سلامت را از دیدگاه‌های گوناگون مدنظر قرار دهد. سامانه‌های ثبت بالینی برای پیگیری سلامت جنسی مردان و داده‌های پیگیری اهمیت دارند؛ با این حال، فقدان ابزار استاندارد جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، مستندسازی نظام‌مند سلامت جنسی مردان را از منظر مدیریت اطلاعات با مشکل مواجه می‌کند. در نتیجه، داده‌های جمع‌آوری‌شده اغلب فاقد قابلیت مقایسه بوده و این امر تعمیم‌پذیری یافته‌ها را محدود می‌کند. هدف این مطالعه، تدوین مجموعه داده‌های حداقلی (MDS) به عنوان گام اولیه در ایجاد سامانه ثبت سلامت جنسی مردان است. این پژوهش از ۸ ژانویه ۲۰۲۴ تا ۲۰ مارس ۲۰۲۵ با رویکرد چندمرحله‌ای انجام شد. ابتدا فهرستی از داده‌های بالقوه از طریق جستجوی پایگاه‌های علمی، مرور منابع خاکستری و بررسی سامانه‌ها، فرم‌ها و وب‌سایت‌های مرتبط با سلامت جنسی مردان گردآوری شد. سپس از تکنیک دلفی تعدیل‌شده استفاده گردید که شامل دو دور نظرسنجی با پانلی متشکل از ۲۷ نفر از خبرگان بالینی و پژوهشی حوزه سلامت جنسی مردان بود. این خبرگان اهمیت هر داده پیشنهادی برای ورود به MDS را با مقیاس لیکرت چهاردرجه‌ای ارزیابی کردند. داده‌هایی که سطح توافق ۸۰٪ یا بیشتر را کسب کردند، برای ورود به MDS نهایی پذیرفته شدند. در نهایت، روایی محتوایی MDS تدوین‌شده با استفاده از نسبت روایی محتوا (CVR) و شاخص روایی محتوا (CVI) ارزیابی شد. MDS نهایی برای ارزیابی سلامت جنسی مردان شامل ۱۰۵ داده در شش دسته مجزا است که شامل عوامل جمعیت‌شناختی، وضعیت رابطه، رفتارها و عملکردهای جنسی، آگاهی از خودآزمایی جنسی، رفتارهای محافظتی جنسی و سابقه بالینی می‌باشد. این MDS به منظور یاری‌رسانی به طراحان و مدیران سامانه‌های ثبت در انتخاب داده‌های ضروری برای سامانه ثبت ارزیابی سلامت جنسی مردان تدوین شده است. هدف آن تسهیل طراحی و پیاده‌سازی سامانه ثبت استاندارد و پشتیبانی از جمع‌آوری نظام‌مند داده‌های باکیفیت است. همچنین این MDS می‌تواند مبنای مناسبی برای بهبود دسترسی و انسجام اطلاعات مرتبط با مراقبت سلامت جنسی مردان فراهم آورد. با این حال، پژوهش‌های بیشتری برای ارزیابی اجرا، امکان‌سنجی و تأثیر بالقوه آن بر تصمیم‌گیری بالینی و کیفیت مراقبت مورد نیاز است.

This article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations for improving the development of students’ communicative competence in Russian as a foreign language through interactive and digital technologies. The study draws on communicative language teaching, the action-oriented approach, constructivism, collaborative learning, and the updated CEFR model. The CEFR Companion Volume conceptualizes language use through reception, production, interaction, and mediation and gives explicit attention to online interaction and collaborative meaning-making. On this basis, the article proposes a cyclical methodology consisting of diagnostic assessment, linguistic scaffolding, an authentic communicative task, role-play or problem-based interaction, collaborative mediation, reflection, and criteria-based formative assessment. The analysis suggests that the effectiveness of interactive technology depends less on the tool itself than on its pedagogically coherent connection to communicative goals, learners’ proficiency, language material, and feedback. In higher education, a systematic combination of role-play, debate, jigsaw tasks, case studies, project work, peer feedback, LMS forums, collaborative documents, and video/audio assignments can shift students from passive knowledge reception toward active participation as social agents.

این مقاله به بررسی مبانی نظری و روش‌شناختی بهبود توسعه شایستگی ارتباطی دانشجویان در زبان روسی به عنوان زبان خارجی از طریق فناوری‌های تعاملی و دیجیتال می‌پردازد. این پژوهش بر آموزش زبان مبتنی بر ارتباط، رویکرد کنش‌محور، سازنده‌گرایی، یادگیری مشارکتی و مدل به‌روزشده CEFR تکیه دارد. جلد همراه CEFR استفاده از زبان را از طریق دریافت، تولید، تعامل و میانجی‌گری مفهوم‌سازی می‌کند و توجه صریحی به تعامل آنلاین و ساخت مشترک معنا دارد. بر این اساس، مقاله یک روش‌شناسی چرخه‌ای شامل ارزیابی تشخیصی، حمایت زبانی، یک تکلیف ارتباطی اصیل، ایفای نقش یا تعامل مبتنی بر مسئله، میانجی‌گری مشارکتی، بازتاب و ارزیابی تکوینی مبتنی بر معیارها پیشنهاد می‌کند. تحلیل‌ها نشان می‌دهد که اثربخشی فناوری تعاملی کمتر به خود ابزار وابسته است و بیشتر به پیوند منسجم آموزشی آن با اهداف ارتباطی، سطح مهارت زبان‌آموزان، مواد زبانی و بازخورد بستگی دارد. در آموزش عالی، ترکیب نظام‌مند ایفای نقش، مناظره، تکالیف جورچین، مطالعات موردی، کار پروژه‌ای، بازخورد همتایان، انجمن‌های LMS، اسناد مشارکتی و تکالیف ویدئویی/صوتی می‌تواند دانشجویان را از دریافت منفعلانه دانش به سوی مشارکت فعال به عنوان عاملان اجتماعی سوق دهد.

This study focused on the development and acceptability of a Physics Activity Manual for Grade 9 students in a laboratory school implementing an institution-based curriculum in Batangas Province. It aimed to identify priority Physics learning areas and associated competencies based on students’ assessment results, determine the level of acceptability of the developed manual, examine differences in acceptability ratings when respondents were grouped according to profile variables, and propose enrichments based on the findings. The study employed a descriptive-developmental research design. Assessment results of 75 Grade 9 students from School Year 2024–2025 were analyzed to identify the lowest-performing Physics learning areas and the competencies associated with them, which served as the basis for developing the manual. The developed material underwent preliminary review by qualified validators and was subsequently evaluated by 30 Science Teachers and 5 Science Experts using an adapted Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) Evaluation Tool for Printed Resources. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The manual was rated Highly Acceptable by both groups across Content, Format, Presentation and Organization, and Accuracy and Up-to-Datedness. Overall mean ratings were 3.82 for Science Teachers and 3.70 for Science Experts. Differences were not significant for most profile variables; however, Science Teachers’ ratings differed significantly by educational attainment. The findings support the manual’s acceptability as a curriculum-aligned supplementary instructional resource, while classroom implementation and effectiveness remain subjects for future research.

این مطالعه بر تدوین و پذیرش‌پذیری راهنمای فعالیت‌های فیزیک برای دانش‌آموزان پایه نهم در یک مدرسه آزمایشگاهی که برنامه درسی مبتنی بر مؤسسه را در استان باتانگاس اجرا می‌کند، متمرکز بود. هدف پژوهش شناسایی حوزه‌های اولویت‌دار یادگیری فیزیک و شایستگی‌های مرتبط بر اساس نتایج ارزیابی دانش‌آموزان، تعیین سطح پذیرش‌پذیری راهنمای تدوین‌شده، بررسی تفاوت در امتیازات پذیرش‌پذیری هنگام گروه‌بندی پاسخ‌دهندگان بر اساس متغیرهای پروفایل و پیشنهاد غنی‌سازی‌ها بر اساس یافته‌ها بود. این پژوهش از طرح پژوهش توصیفی-توسعه‌ای استفاده کرد. نتایج ارزیابی ۷۵ دانش‌آموز پایه نهم در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۴–۲۰۲۵ برای شناسایی حوزه‌های یادگیری فیزیک با پایین‌ترین عملکرد و شایستگی‌های مرتبط با آن‌ها تحلیل شد که مبنای تدوین راهنما قرار گرفت. ماده تدوین‌شده توسط ارزیابان واجد شرایط مورد بازبینی اولیه قرار گرفت و سپس توسط ۳۰ معلم علوم و ۵ کارشناس علوم با استفاده از ابزار ارزیابی منابع چاپی سیستم مدیریت و توسعه منابع یادگیری (LRMDS) ارزیابی شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی و استنباطی تحلیل شدند. راهنما از سوی هر دو گروه در ابعاد محتوا، قالب، ارائه و سازماندهی، و صحت و به‌روز بودن، بسیار قابل پذیرش ارزیابی شد. میانگین کلی امتیازات برای معلمان علوم ۳٫۸۲ و برای کارشناسان علوم ۳٫۷۰ بود. تفاوت معناداری در بیشتر متغیرهای پروفایل مشاهده نشد؛ با این حال، امتیازات معلمان علوم بر اساس سطح تحصیلات تفاوت معناداری داشت. یافته‌ها از پذیرش‌پذیری راهنما به عنوان منبع آموزشی مکمل همسو با برنامه درسی حمایت می‌کند، در حالی که اجرای کلاسی و اثربخشی آن موضوع پژوهش‌های آتی باقی می‌ماند.

Engineering dynamics courses demand simultaneous development of mathematical modelling, computational implementation, and communication competencies, yet conventional instruction rarely provides authentic contexts for their integration. The primary objective of this study was to design, implement, and empirically evaluate a Simulation-Focused Problem-Based Learning (SF-PBL) framework that integrates first-principles Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics with Python-based numerical simulation within an Outcome-Based Education (OBE)-aligned curriculum. The framework was embedded within a 15-week undergraduate Dynamic System Modeling (DSM) course ( N = 53, B.Tech Mechatronics Engineering, Semester IV, January–April 2026) at a single NBA-accredited institution in India. It operationalises a four-phase computational pipeline—System Identification, Mathematical Modelling, Computational Simulation, Validation & Communication—scaffolded through an Explain-Try-Challenge (E-T-C) model and assessed via a six-judge external expert panel. A pre–post mixed-methods design measured self-efficacy (10-item Likert scale), conceptual knowledge (5-item MCQ), PBL satisfaction, AI tool usage, and qualitative breakthrough reflections. Self-efficacy improved significantly (pre: M = 2.92, SD = 0.21; post: M = 3.80, SD = 0.40; t (52) = 13.91, p < .001 , Cohen’s d = 2.72, pooled SD). Knowledge gains were large ( t (52) = 11.32, p < .001 , d = 1.20; Hake’s g = 0.50, medium interactive-engagement band). All ten self-efficacy items improved significantly ( p < .001 ). PBL satisfaction was high ( M = 3.74 , SD = 0.30). Eighty-five percent of students used AI tools, primarily for computational coding, while mathematical derivation remained predominantly human-led. Qualitative themes identified simulation validation, PID tuning, and linking derivation to computation as commonly reported breakthrough moments. Exhibition rubric scores from 17 student projects evaluated by the six-judge panel ( M = 82.62 / 100 , SD = 9.98 ) confirmed strong authentic performance. The SF-PBL framework offers a replicable, empirically-evaluated model for computationally-integrated dynamics pedagogy in OBE-aligned STEM programmes.

دروس دینامیک مهندسی نیازمند توسعه همزمان مدل‌سازی ریاضی، پیاده‌سازی محاسباتی و شایستگی‌های ارتباطی هستند، اما آموزش‌های متداول به ندرت زمینه‌های اصیل برای ادغام این مهارت‌ها فراهم می‌کنند. هدف اصلی این پژوهش، طراحی، اجرا و ارزیابی تجربی چارچوب یادگیری مبتنی بر مسئله با تمرکز بر شبیه‌سازی (SF-PBL) بود که مکانیک نیوتنی و لاگرانژی مبتنی بر اصول اولیه را با شبیه‌سازی عددی مبتنی بر Python در قالب یک برنامه درسی همسو با آموزش مبتنی بر خروجی (OBE) ادغام می‌کند. این چارچوب در یک دوره کارشناسی مدل‌سازی سیستم‌های دینامیکی (DSM) به مدت ۱۵ هفته (N = 53، مهندسی مکاترونیک، ترم چهارم، ژانویه تا آوریل ۲۰۲۶) در یک مؤسسه دارای اعتبار NBA در هند اجرا شد. این چارچوب یک خط لوله محاسباتی چهار مرحله‌ای—شناسایی سیستم، مدل‌سازی ریاضی، شبیه‌سازی محاسباتی، اعتبارسنجی و ارتباط—را عملیاتی می‌کند که از طریق مدل توضیح-آزمایش-چالش (E-T-C) ساختاربندی شده و توسط هیئت داوران متشکل از شش متخصص خارجی ارزیابی گردید. طرح پژوهش آمیخته پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون، خودکارآمدی (مقیاس لیکرت ۱۰ ماده‌ای)، دانش مفهومی (۵ سؤال چندگزینه‌ای)، رضایت از PBL، میزان استفاده از ابزارهای هوش مصنوعی و بازتاب‌های کیفی از لحظات جهشی را اندازه‌گیری کرد. خودکارآمدی به طور معناداری افزایش یافت (پیش‌آزمون: M = 2.92، SD = 0.21؛ پس‌آزمون: M = 3.80، SD = 0.40؛ t (52) = 13.91، p < .001، d کوهن = 2.72، SD تجمیعی). افزایش دانش نیز قابل توجه بود (t (52) = 11.32، p < .001، d = 1.20؛ g هاک = 0.50، باند تعامل متوسط). هر ده ماده خودکارآمدی به طور معناداری بهبود یافتند (p < .001). رضایت از PBL بالا بود (M = 3.74، SD = 0.30). هشتاد و پنج درصد دانشجویان از ابزارهای هوش مصنوعی عمدتاً برای کدنویسی محاسباتی استفاده کردند، در حالی که استنتاج ریاضی عمدتاً توسط انسان انجام شد. مضامین کیفی، اعتبارسنجی شبیه‌سازی، تنظیم PID و پیوند استنتاج به محاسبه را به عنوان لحظات جهشی رایج شناسایی کردند. نمرات روبریک ارائه پروژه‌های ۱۷ دانشجو که توسط هیئت شش نفره ارزیابی شد (M = 82.62 از ۱۰۰، SD = 9.98) عملکرد اصیل قوی را تأیید کرد. چارچوب SF-PBL یک الگوی قابل تکرار و ارزیابی‌شده تجربی برای آموزش دینامیک با ادغام محاسباتی در برنامه‌های STEM همسو با OBE ارائه می‌دهد.

This study used bibliometric analysis to examine research on university students’ self-feedback literacy using records retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. The initial search identified 372 records published within a retrieval window from January 2010 to June 2025. Following screening, eligibility assessment, and bibliographic data cleaning, 14 records met the predefined eligibility criteria and were retained for the final bibliometric analysis. Given the small size of the final corpus and the partial coverage of 2025, the findings are interpreted as exploratory patterns within the retrieved dataset rather than as definitive representations of the broader research field. The study examined publication activity, sources, authorship, citations, keyword associations, thematic patterns, and country-level collaboration within the retrieved corpus, with the findings interpreted as exploratory evidence rather than generalizable estimates of the broader field.

این مطالعه با استفاده از تحلیل کتاب‌سنجی به بررسی پژوهش‌ها درباره سواد بازخورد خودمحور دانشجویان دانشگاهی پرداخت که سوابق آن از مجموعه هسته وب آو ساینس استخراج شد. جستجوی اولیه ۳۷۲ مدرک را که در بازه زمانی ژانویه ۲۰۱۰ تا ژوئن ۲۰۲۵ منتشر شده بودند، شناسایی کرد. پس از غربالگری، ارزیابی صلاحیت و پاک‌سازی داده‌های کتابشناختی، ۱۴ مدرک با معیارهای از پیش تعیین‌شده مطابقت داشتند و برای تحلیل نهایی کتاب‌سنجی حفظ شدند. با توجه به حجم اندک مجموعه نهایی و پوشش جزئی سال ۲۰۲۵، یافته‌ها به عنوان الگوهای اکتشافی در داده‌های بازیابی‌شده تفسیر می‌شوند و نه به عنوان بازنمایی قطعی از حوزه پژوهشی گسترده‌تر. این مطالعه فعالیت انتشاراتی، منابع، نویسندگان، ارجاعات، ارتباطات کلیدواژه‌ای، الگوهای موضوعی و همکاری در سطح کشور را در مجموعه بازیابی‌شده بررسی کرد و یافته‌ها به عنوان شواهد اکتشافی و نه برآوردهای قابل تعمیم از حوزه گسترده‌تر تفسیر می‌شوند.

Curriculum changes in Indonesia have brought about shifts in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of instruction in primary schools. A notable change is the transition from the thematic learning approach used in the 2013 Curriculum to the more flexible learning approach of the *Kurikulum Merdeka* (Independent Curriculum). This transition has also influenced the instructional materials and teaching models employed by teachers. This article aims to compare the instructional materials and teaching models associated with the Thematic Curriculum and the *Kurikulum Merdeka*. A literature review method was employed, analyzing various books, policy documents, and scholarly sources relevant to instructional materials and teaching models. The findings indicate that the 2013 Curriculum relied heavily on syllabi, lesson plans (RPP), teaching materials, media, and assessment instruments, with instruction integrated through themes. In contrast, the *Kurikulum Merdeka* utilizes components such as Learning Outcomes (*Capaian Pembelajaran* or CP), Learning Objectives (*Tujuan Pembelajaran* or TP), Learning Objective Sequences (*Alur Tujuan Pembelajaran* or ATP), teaching modules, teaching materials, media, and assessment instruments. Regarding teaching models, the 2013 Curriculum frequently employed a scientific approach alongside models that supported thematic integration, whereas the *Kurikulum Merdeka* offers teachers greater latitude to select teaching models based on student characteristics, subject matter, and the learning context. These changes reflect a shift from relatively structured instructional components toward those that are more flexible and contextual.

تغییرات برنامه درسی در اندونزی منجر به تحولات قابل توجهی در برنامه‌ریزی، اجرا و ارزیابی آموزش در مدارس ابتدایی شده است. یکی از تغییرات مهم، گذار از رویکرد یادگیری موضوع‌محور مورد استفاده در برنامه درسی ۲۰۱۳ به رویکرد یادگیری منعطف‌تر در *Kurikulum Merdeka* (برنامه درسی مستقل) است. این گذار همچنین بر مواد آموزشی و الگوهای تدریس مورد استفاده معلمان تأثیر گذاشته است. هدف این مقاله مقایسه مواد آموزشی و الگوهای تدریس مرتبط با برنامه درسی موضوع‌محور و *Kurikulum Merdeka* است. این پژوهش با استفاده از روش مرور ادبیات و تحلیل منابعی چون کتاب‌ها، اسناد سیاستی و منابع علمی مرتبط با مواد آموزشی و الگوهای تدریس انجام شده است. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که برنامه درسی ۲۰۱۳ به شدت متکی بر طرح درس (RPP)، مواد آموزشی، رسانه‌ها و ابزارهای ارزشیابی بوده و آموزش از طریق موضوعات یکپارچه می‌شد. در مقابل، *Kurikulum Merdeka* از اجزایی مانند نتایج یادگیری (*Capaian Pembelajaran* یا CP)، اهداف یادگیری (*Tujuan Pembelajaran* یا TP)، توالی اهداف یادگیری (*Alur Tujuan Pembelajaran* یا ATP)، ماژول‌های تدریس، مواد آموزشی، رسانه‌ها و ابزارهای ارزشیابی بهره می‌گیرد. در زمینه الگوهای تدریس، برنامه درسی ۲۰۱۳ عمدتاً از رویکرد علمی و الگوهایی که از یکپارچگی موضوعی حمایت می‌کردند استفاده می‌نمود، در حالی که *Kurikulum Merdeka* آزادی عمل بیشتری به معلمان برای انتخاب الگوهای تدریس بر اساس ویژگی‌های دانش‌آموزان، موضوع درس و زمینه یادگیری می‌دهد. این تغییرات نشان‌دهنده گذار از اجزای آموزشی نسبتاً ساختاریافته به سوی اجزای منعطف‌تر و زمینه‌محورتر است.

Objective Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate the Cardiovascular Health Beliefs Scale (CHBS) to assess CVD-related health beliefs.Methods A cross-sectional methodological design was utilized in two phases. Phase 1 (n = 150) focused on item generation and exploratory factor analysis. Phase 2 (n = 531) involved confirmatory factor analysis. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews using the newly developed CHBS and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) General Severity Index to test construct validity.Results The CHBS supported an acceptable six-factor structure: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, health motivation, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranged from .70 to .84, demonstrating adequate internal consistency.Conclusion The CHBS demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability as a measurement tool. It enables nurses and healthcare professionals to assess risk behaviors and implement culturally congruent, targeted preventive interventions for cardiovascular care within the Turkish population.

هدف: بیماری قلبی‌عروقی (CVD) یکی از علل اصلی مرگ‌ومیر است. این مطالعه با هدف تدوین و ارزیابی روان‌سنجی مقیاس باورهای سلامت قلب‌وعروق (CHBS) جهت سنجش باورهای مرتبط با سلامت قلب‌وعروق انجام شد. روش‌ها: این پژوهش به صورت مقطعی و روش‌شناختی در دو مرحله انجام گرفت. در مرحله اول (n = ۱۵۰) بر تولید گویه‌ها و تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی تمرکز شد. مرحله دوم (n = ۵۳۱) شامل تحلیل عاملی تأییدی بود. داده‌ها از طریق مصاحبه حضوری با استفاده از CHBS تدوین‌شده و شاخص شدت کلی فهرست علائم مختصر (BSI) به منظور آزمون روایی سازه جمع‌آوری شد. یافته‌ها: ساختار شش‌عاملی قابل قبولی برای CHBS تأیید شد: آسیب‌پذیری ادراک‌شده، شدت ادراک‌شده، انگیزش سلامت، منافع ادراک‌شده، موانع ادراک‌شده و خودکارآمدی. ضرایب آلفای کرونباخ بین ۰٫۷۰ تا ۰٫۸۴ بود که نشان‌دهنده انسجام درونی مناسب است. نتیجه‌گیری: CHBS روایی و پایایی قابل قبولی به عنوان ابزار سنجش نشان داد. این ابزار به پرستاران و متخصصان سلامت کمک می‌کند تا رفتارهای پرخطر را ارزیابی کرده و مداخلات پیشگیرانه هدفمند و متناسب با فرهنگ را برای مراقبت قلب‌وعروق در جمعیت ترکیه‌ای اجرا کنند.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of dynamic assessment (DA) on Iraqi EFL learners’ reading self-efficacy (RSE) and engagement, and their perceptions of DA impact on these constructs. The study adopted a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, based on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, with 80 intermediate-level Iraqi EFL learners. Quantitative data were collected applying the Reading Self-Efficacy Scale (RSES) and the Reading Engagement Survey (RES), whereas qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The results showed that DA had a positive significant impact on RSE, with a large effect size. Also, a significant change in reading engagement over time was found, with a medium effect size. Analysis of interview data further showed that learners perceived DA as supporting RSE through reduced anxiety, greater perceived competence, and increased autonomy. It was also found to promote cognitive, behavioral, and affective dimensions of engagement. The mediation in the Zone of Proximal Development emerged as a recurring feature of these experiences. These results contribute to the existing literature of DA in EFL and suggest that incorporating mediation in EFL instruction may help reduce learners’ anxiety and enhance their flow and engagement in reading tasks and activities.

هدف این پژوهش بررسی اثر ارزشیابی پویا (DA) بر خودکارآمدی خواندن (RSE) و درگیری یادگیرندگان عراقی زبان انگلیسی به عنوان زبان خارجی و همچنین ادراکات آنان از تأثیر DA بر این سازه‌ها بود. این پژوهش با استفاده از طرح شبه‌آزمایشی آمیخته و مبتنی بر نظریه‌ی جامعه‌فرهنگی ویگوتسکی و نظریه‌ی خودکارآمدی بندورا، با مشارکت ۸۰ یادگیرنده‌ی عراقی زبان انگلیسی در سطح متوسط انجام شد. داده‌های کمی با استفاده از مقیاس خودکارآمدی خواندن (RSES) و پرسشنامه‌ی درگیری خواندن (RES) گردآوری شد و داده‌های کیفی از طریق مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته جمع‌آوری گردید. نتایج نشان داد که DA تأثیر مثبت معناداری بر RSE داشته است و اندازه‌ی اثر آن بزرگ بود. همچنین، تغییر معناداری در درگیری خواندن در طول زمان مشاهده شد که اندازه‌ی اثر آن متوسط بود. تحلیل داده‌های مصاحبه نشان داد که یادگیرندگان DA را عاملی در حمایت از RSE از طریق کاهش اضطراب، افزایش احساس شایستگی و افزایش خودمختاری ادراک می‌کنند. همچنین مشخص شد که DA ابعاد شناختی، رفتاری و عاطفی درگیری را تقویت می‌کند. میانجی‌گری در منطقه‌ی رشد تقریبی به عنوان ویژگی تکرارشونده‌ی این تجربیات ظاهر شد. این نتایج به ادبیات موجود در زمینه‌ی DA در آموزش زبان انگلیسی به عنوان زبان خارجی می‌افزاید و پیشنهاد می‌کند که گنجاندن میانجی‌گری در آموزش زبان انگلیسی می‌تواند به کاهش اضطراب یادگیرندگان و افزایش جریان و درگیری آنان در فعالیت‌ها و وظایف خواندن کمک کند.

This paper explores the challenges faced by Mathematics and Science teacher-educators at a South African university in maintaining assessment credibility during the transition from face-to-face to online modalities. It utilises a Professional Learning Community (PLC) framework and authentic conversations amongst nine PLC members as a means of documenting scholarship of teaching and learning. The study delves into the challenges relating to disruptions to traditional assessment practices and the strategies employed to navigate them. The research is guided by the substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition model, which provides a theoretical lens for understanding the evolution of technology in teaching and assessment. The findings reveal four key challenges: assessment integrity issues, load shedding disruptions, technical glitches and limited lecturer expertise in designing and administering higher-order online tasks. While the transition initially involved substitution and augmentation, with online assessments often deemed ‘too simplistic’ and prone to issues of academic integrity, efforts to move towards the modification phase showed promise. Modifications, in the context of assessment, included adapting the assessment task to ensure Mathematics and Science concepts are effectively assessed in an online, non-invigilated settings, as illustrated in the paper. Despite these advancements, progress towards the redefinition phase where assessments are fully integrated and technologically sophisticated to mitigate unethical usage of artificial intelligence remains limited. The paper argues that achieving this phase requires sustained and deliberate training for teacher-educators in advanced technological integration, emphasising the need for continued professional development in the post-COVID era.

این مقاله به بررسی چالش‌هایی می‌پردازد که مدرسان معلم ریاضی و علوم در یک دانشگاه آفریقای جنوبی در حفظ اعتبار ارزشیابی هنگام گذار از شیوه حضوری به شیوه‌های برخط با آن مواجه بوده‌اند. این پژوهش از چارچوب اجتماع یادگیری حرفه‌ای (PLC) و گفتگوهای اصیل میان نه عضو این اجتماع به عنوان روشی برای مستندسازی دانش تدریس و یادگیری بهره می‌گیرد. مطالعه حاضر به چالش‌های مرتبط با اختلال در شیوه‌های سنتی ارزشیابی و راهبردهای به‌کاررفته برای مواجهه با آن‌ها می‌پردازد. پژوهش با مدل جایگزینی، افزایش، اصلاح و بازتعریف هدایت می‌شود که لنزی نظری برای فهم تحول فناوری در آموزش و ارزشیابی فراهم می‌کند. یافته‌ها چهار چالش کلیدی را آشکار می‌سازد: مسائل مربوط به سلامت ارزشیابی، اختلالات ناشی از قطع برق، مشکلات فنی و محدودیت تخصص مدرسان در طراحی و اجرای تکالیف برخط سطح بالاتر. در حالی که گذار اولیه بیشتر شامل جایگزینی و افزایش بود و ارزشیابی‌های برخط غالباً «بسیار ساده» و مستعد مسائل سلامت علمی تلقی می‌شدند، تلاش‌ها برای حرکت به سوی مرحله اصلاح امیدبخش بود. اصلاحات در زمینه ارزشیابی شامل انطباق تکلیف ارزشیابی به منظور اطمینان از ارزیابی مؤثر مفاهیم ریاضی و علوم در محیط‌های برخط و بدون مراقبت حضوری بود که در مقاله تشریح شده است. با وجود این پیشرفت‌ها، حرکت به سوی مرحله بازتعریف که در آن ارزشیابی‌ها به طور کامل یکپارچه و از لحاظ فناوری پیشرفته باشند تا از سوءاستفاده غیراخلاقی از هوش مصنوعی جلوگیری شود، همچنان محدود باقی مانده است. مقاله استدلال می‌کند که دستیابی به این مرحله نیازمند آموزش مستمر و هدفمند مدرسان معلم در زمینه ادغام پیشرفته فناوری است و بر ضرورت توسعه حرفه‌ای مداوم در دوران پساکرونا تأکید می‌کند.

This article examines the proposed implementation of the I-CAN support needs assessment tool within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Key concerns relate to the I-CAN being adapted away from a strengths-based, person-centred approach, and implemented within a service-centred paradigm with overreliance on algorithms and the removal of clinical input and clinical judgement. Alternatively, this moment of dramatic redesign of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) could be an opportunity to bring focus to a contribution paradigm, and what value people with disabilities contribute to our society when provided with the right support.

این مقاله به بررسی اجرای پیشنهادی ابزار ارزیابی نیازهای حمایتی I-CAN در چارچوب طرح ملی بیمه ناتوانی (NDIS) می‌پردازد. نگرانی‌های اصلی مربوط به این است که I-CAN از رویکرد مبتنی بر نقاط قوت و فردمحور فاصله گرفته و در قالبی خدمت‌محور با اتکای بیش از حد به الگوریتم‌ها و حذف ورودی و قضاوت بالینی به کار گرفته می‌شود. در مقابل، این لحظه بازطراحی اساسی طرح ملی بیمه ناتوانی (NDIS) می‌تواند فرصتی برای تمرکز بر پارادایم مشارکت و ارزش‌آفرینی افراد دارای معلولیت برای جامعه، در صورت دریافت حمایت مناسب، باشد.

Background and Objectives: Spinal stenosis is a significant issue that frequently occurs in adults and older adults worldwide. Self-management assessment is crucial for achieving self-management goals. However, there is currently no specific research tool for evaluating self-management related to spinal stenosis in adults and older adults. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychological properties of a self-management assessment for spinal stenosis. Methods: The research design involved the development and evaluation of psychological properties in a spinal stenosis self-Management scale (SS-SMS), applying the self-management theory of Lorig and Holman (2003) along with a literature review, and following the development and evaluation of the psychological properties of this type of research instrument based on the concepts of DeVellis and Thorpe (2022). The processes were: 1) Development of the research instrument, which included (1.1) identifying what to measure by defining terms and specifying components in each domain, (1.2) creating the initial set of 50 questions for assessment, and (1.3) determining the measurement format; and 2) Evaluation of the psychological properties of the research instrument, which included (2.1) content validity validated by 7 experts, (2.2) cognitive interviews with 6 adults and older adult individuals regarding the initial set of questions, and reliability testing with 30 individuals, (2.3) reviewing the quality of the questions, (2.4) determining the sample size for structural validity testing, which involved 300 adults and older adult individuals with spinal stenosis sampled using simple random sampling without replacement, (2.5) evaluating the questions by checking structural validity and testing the reliability of the new assessment, and (2.6) considering the length of the assessment. The data analysis included descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: The research findings revealed that the spinal stenosis self-Management scale (SS-SMS) in adults and older adults, with a total of 36 items, was measured using a 6-point Likert scale. The content validity index for each item ranged from .860 to 1.000, and the overall content validity index was .971. The structural validity, as determined by exploratory factor analysis, revealed 7 components: 1) Role management, 2) Emotional management, 3) Medical management, 4) Symptom management, 5) Communication, 6) Posture and exercise management, and 7) Nutrition. The component weights ranged from .446 to .841, which were statistically significant (p < .001). All components together explain 66.085 % of the cumulative variance. Confirmatory factor analysis also identified 7 components, and the model fits the empirical data well, with a chi-square statistic of 1514, 573 degrees of freedom (p= .001), a relative chi-square of 2.642, a comparative fit index of .950, a Tucker-Lewis index of .955, a standard mean square error of .0665, a root mean square error of approximation of .0740, and a 90% confidence interval for the root mean square error of approximation ranging from .0695 to .0785. There were a total of 36 questions, with standard component weights ranging from .544 to .895, which were statistically significant (p < .001). The reliability analysis showed a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .940 for the entire assessment. Conclusions and Recommendations: The SS-SMS has good quality and psychological properties, including content validity, construct validity, and excellent overall reliability. Therefore, nurses and healthcare personnel can use this assessment to assess self-management in adults and older adult individuals with spinal stenosis.

زمینه و اهداف: تنگی کانال نخاعی یکی از مشکلات مهمی است که به طور مکرر در بزرگسالان و سالمندان در سراسر جهان رخ می‌دهد. ارزیابی مدیریت خود برای دستیابی به اهداف مدیریت خود اهمیت اساسی دارد. با این حال، در حال حاضر ابزار پژوهشی خاصی برای ارزیابی مدیریت خود مرتبط با تنگی کانال نخاعی در بزرگسالان و سالمندان وجود ندارد. بنابراین، این مطالعه با هدف توسعه و ارزیابی ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی یک ابزار ارزیابی مدیریت خود برای تنگی کانال نخاعی انجام شد. روش‌ها: طرح پژوهش شامل توسعه و ارزیابی ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی مقیاس مدیریت خود در تنگی کانال نخاعی (SS-SMS) با استفاده از نظریه مدیریت خود Lorig و Holman (2003) و مرور متون، و پیروی از فرآیند توسعه و ارزیابی ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی ابزارهای پژوهشی بر اساس مفاهیم DeVellis و Thorpe (2022) بود. مراحل شامل: ۱) توسعه ابزار پژوهش که شامل (۱.۱) تعیین آنچه باید سنجیده شود از طریق تعریف اصطلاحات و تعیین مؤلفه‌ها در هر حوزه، (۱.۲) ایجاد مجموعه اولیه ۵۰ سؤال برای ارزیابی، و (۱.۳) تعیین قالب سنجش؛ و ۲) ارزیابی ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی ابزار پژوهش که شامل (۲.۱) روایی محتوایی توسط ۷ نفر از خبرگان، (۲.۲) مصاحبه‌های شناختی با ۶ نفر از بزرگسالان و سالمندان درباره مجموعه اولیه سؤالات و آزمون پایایی با ۳۰ نفر، (۲.۳) بازبینی کیفیت سؤالات، (۲.۴) تعیین حجم نمونه برای آزمون روایی ساختاری که شامل ۳۰۰ نفر از بزرگسالان و سالمندان مبتلا به تنگی کانال نخاعی با نمونه‌گیری تصادفی ساده بدون جایگزینی بود، (۲.۵) ارزیابی سؤالات از طریق بررسی روایی ساختاری و آزمون پایایی ابزار جدید، و (۲.۶) بررسی طول ابزار ارزیابی بود. تحلیل داده‌ها شامل آمار توصیفی، تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی، تحلیل عاملی تأییدی و ضریب آلفای کرونباخ بود. نتایج: یافته‌های پژوهش نشان داد که مقیاس مدیریت خود در تنگی کانال نخاعی (SS-SMS) در بزرگسالان و سالمندان شامل ۳۶ گویه و با استفاده از مقیاس لیکرت ۶ درجه‌ای سنجیده شد. شاخص روایی محتوایی برای هر گویه بین ۰.۸۶۰ تا ۱.۰۰۰ و شاخص کلی روایی محتوایی ۰.۹۷۱ بود. روایی ساختاری با تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی، ۷ مؤلفه را نشان داد: ۱) مدیریت نقش، ۲) مدیریت هیجانی، ۳) مدیریت پزشکی، ۴) مدیریت علائم، ۵) ارتباط، ۶) مدیریت وضعیت بدن و ورزش، و ۷) تغذیه. وزن مؤلفه‌ها بین ۰.۴۴۶ تا ۰.۸۴۱ بود که از نظر آماری معنادار بود (p < ۰.۰۰۱). مجموع مؤلفه‌ها ۶۶.۰۸۵ درصد از واریانس تجمعی را تبیین کردند. تحلیل عاملی تأییدی نیز ۷ مؤلفه را شناسایی کرد و مدل برازش مناسبی با داده‌های تجربی داشت: آماره کای‌دو ۱۵۱۴، ۵۷۳ درجه آزادی (p= ۰.۰۰۱)، کای‌دو نسبی ۲.۶۴۲، شاخص برازش تطبیقی ۰.۹۵۰، شاخص Tucker-Lewis برابر با ۰.۹۵۵، خطای استاندارد میانگین مربعات ۰.۰۶۶۵، ریشه میانگین مربعات خطای تقریب ۰.۰۷۴۰ و فاصله اطمینان ۹۰٪ برای ریشه میانگین مربعات خطای تقریب بین ۰.۰۶۹۵ تا ۰.۰۷۸۵ بود. در مجموع ۳۶ سؤال با وزن استاندارد مؤلفه‌ها بین ۰.۵۴۴ تا ۰.۸۹۵ وجود داشت که از نظر آماری معنادار بود (p < ۰.۰۰۱). تحلیل پایایی نشان داد که ضریب آلفای کرونباخ برای کل ابزار ۰.۹۴۰ بود. نتیجه‌گیری و پیشنهادها: SS-SMS از کیفیت و ویژگی‌های روان‌سنجی مطلوبی از جمله روایی محتوایی، روایی ساختاری و پایایی کلی عالی برخوردار است. بنابراین، پرستاران و کارکنان مراقبت‌های بهداشتی می‌توانند از این ابزار برای ارزیابی مدیریت خود در بزرگسالان و سالمندان مبتلا به تنگی کانال نخاعی استفاده کنند.
