Descriptive statistics

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.

Holistic student development has become a fundamental indicator of educational quality in early childhood education because it encompasses children's cognitive, socio-emotional, physical, moral, and spiritual development. Despite increasing attention being given to holistic education in Malaysia, empirical evidence explaining how instructional leadership, educator commitment, and educator motivation contribute to holistic student development within KEMAS preschools remains limited. This study therefore examined the levels, relationships, and predictive influence of instructional leadership, educator commitment, and educator motivation on holistic student development among KEMAS preschool educators in the Northern Zone of Malaysia. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed involving 313 educators selected from a population of approximately 1,700 educators across Kedah, Perak, and Pulau Pinang. Data were collected using structured questionnaires adapted from established instruments and analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's Product-Moment Correlation, and Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression using SPSS. The findings indicated that instructional leadership, educator commitment, educator motivation, and holistic student development were all perceived at high levels. Significant positive relationships were identified between all independent variables and holistic student development. Stepwise regression analysis further revealed that extrinsic motivation emerged as the strongest predictor, followed by intrinsic motivation, providing incentives to students, and defining school mission and goals. Collectively, these predictors explained 42.1% of the variance in holistic student development. The findings provide empirical evidence supporting leadership enhancement, educator motivation, and evidence-based policymaking to strengthen preschool educational quality within KEMAS.

This study examined the classroom and instructional management practices of new and experienced teachers and their relationship with students’ learning engagement in selected public secondary schools in Cortes District, Division of Bohol, during School Year 2026–2027. Anchored in the Classroom Management Scripts Model, Instructional Clarity Framework, Multidimensional Student Engagement Framework, and Huberman’s Teacher Career Cycle, the study employed a quantitative comparative-correlational research design. Respondents comprised 15 new teachers, 46 experienced teachers, and 278 students, totaling 339 participants. Data were gathered using a researcher-modified, validated, and pilot-tested questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson product–moment correlation, and independent-samples t-tests. Results revealed consistently high classroom and instructional management practices among both teacher groups, with no statistically significant differences. Classroom management and instructional management exhibited a strong positive relationship (r = 0.724, p < 0.001), whereas neither classroom management (r = 0.040, p = 0.760) nor instructional management (r = −0.062, p = 0.635) was significantly associated with students’ overall learning engagement. Students taught by new teachers demonstrated significantly higher overall and emotional engagement (p = 0.017), while behavioral and cognitive engagement showed no significant differences. The study concluded that teaching experience alone does not determine management effectiveness and that favorable management practices do not necessarily correspond to higher student engagement. A school-based professional development program emphasizing mentoring, collaborative lesson planning, peer observation, and instructional improvement was proposed. The study supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by promoting effective teaching, inclusive learning environments, and continuous professional growth. Its educational and institutional sustainability contribution lies in providing localized evidence to guide sustained professional development and improvements in students’ learning experiences.

This study investigated the challenges facing head teachers in providing leadership support for the implementation of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in public primary schools in Muleba District, Tanzania. The study was guided by one specific objective: to identify the challenges faced by head teachers in providing leadership support for CBC implementation. Grounded in Hallinger and Murphy's (1985) Instructional Leadership Theory, the study adopted a pragmatic paradigm with a convergent parallel mixed-methods design. The target population comprised 2,166 individuals from 237 public primary schools. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from 112 respondents (100 classroom teachers and 12 heads of schools), semi-structured interviews with head teachers and one School Quality Assurance Officer, and document review. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics through SPSS Version 22, while qualitative data were analysed thematically following Braun and Clarke's (2006) framework. The findings revealed seven interconnected challenges: inadequate CBC training for head teachers themselves (84.8%), inadequate funding preventing leadership support (81.3%), heavy administrative workloads (76.8%), unclear government support (76.8%), financial constraints generally (67.9%), overcrowded classrooms (64.3%), and teacher resistance to CBC changes (52.7%). The study concluded that head teachers' effectiveness in leading CBC implementation is systematically undermined by systemic factors beyond their control. The study recommends mandatory CBC training for head teachers, reduction of administrative workloads, increased capitation grants with CBC-specific allocations, clear national implementation guidelines, and investment in school infrastructure.

Critical thinking is an important skill to be developed from elementary education. This study examined the effect of the Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) method assisted by audiovisual media on the critical-thinking ability of fifth-grade students at MIN 1 Bandar Lampung in the topic of Cultural Diversity in Indonesia. A quantitative quasi-experimental approach using a Nonequivalent Control Group Design was employed. The sample consisted of 64 students: 32 students in class VA as the experimental group and 32 students in class VB as the control group. Data were collected through critical-thinking tests administered before and after instruction. Analyses included descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s test for homogeneity, a paired-samples t-test, and Welch’s t-test. The experimental group’s mean score increased from 38.52 at pretest to 72.42 at posttest, while the control group’s mean increased from 39.61 to 42.11. Welch’s t-test indicated a statistically significant posttest difference, t(60.13) = 14.942, p < .001, with a mean difference of 30.31 points. The findings indicate that students receiving SQ3R instruction supported by audiovisual media achieved higher critical-thinking scores than the control group. The results support the study hypothesis, while the quasi-experimental design and study context should be considered when interpreting the findings.

Temuan mendukung hipotesis penelitian, dengan tetap mempertimbangkan keterbatasan desain quasi experiment dan konteks sampel penelitian.

The article offers a comparative analysis of the concept of pedagogical mastery in Uzbek, Russian and international scholarship and systematises official statistical data on the teaching workforce in Uzbekistan's general secondary education. The study uses a documentary-analytical review, comparative analysis and descriptive statistics; no experimental component was conducted. According to the National Statistics Committee, the number of teachers in general secondary schools grew from 486.6 thousand in 2019/2020 to 577.7 thousand in 2025/2026 (+18.7%), women account for 72.5% of the workforce, and regional differences reach a factor of 4.6. International evidence (Shulman; Hattie; Kunter et al.; Darling-Hammond et al.) indicates that teaching quality depends less on workforce expansion than on the integration of knowledge, practice, personal-value, reflective and digital-methodological components. The author proposes a five-component integrative conceptual model and formulates recommendations for qualitative monitoring of teacher capacity and for the design of professional development

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.

Integrating traditional Bugis-Makassar games into physical education has the potential to support the development of elementary school students’ fundamental movement skills and physical fitness. However, its effectiveness requires empirical testing. This article presents a simulated analysis to illustrate the evaluation of physical education instruction based on traditional Bugis-Makassar games. The research scenario follows a quasi-experimental design involving two groups of fifth-grade students, with 30 students each in the experimental and control groups. The simulated data represent fundamental movement skills and physical fitness test scores before and after the intervention. The analysis includes descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity of variance tests, independent-samples t tests, and normalized gain (N-gain) calculations. The simulated results show that the experimental group’s mean fundamental movement skills score increased from 58.40 to 82.30, while the control group’s mean score increased from 59.10 to 69.20. The between-group difference in the simulated data was significant (t = 5.842; p < .001). For physical fitness, the experimental group’s mean score increased from 61.20 to 79.40, while the control group’s mean score increased from 60.80 to 68.50, with a significant between-group difference (t = 4.763; p < .001). The experimental group’s N-gain values were 0.57 for fundamental movement skills and 0.47 for physical fitness, both classified as moderate. These simulated patterns may inform hypothesis formulation and the design of evaluations for Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) instruction based on local wisdom. Conceptually, this approach connects the development of students’ motor skills with the use of traditional games in instruction. Its effectiveness requires verification through field research using appropriate instruments and documented data collection procedures.

This study examined the use of digitized game-based learning activities to support Grade 7 students’ interest and mathematics achievement at Demetrio L. Alviola National High School, Bindoy, Negros Oriental, during school year 2025–2026. A quantitative quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a survey component involved 120 learners, consisting of 60 in the control group and 60 in the experimental group. The control group received conventional mathematics instruction, while the experimental group participated in a four-week digitized game-based approach. A 48-item competency test, an adapted 20-item mathematics-interest questionnaire, and a learning-style inventory informed data collection. Frequency, percentage, mean percentage scores, descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon tests, and Mann–Whitney U tests were used for analysis. The experimental group’s overall mathematics mean percentage score increased from 70.11% to 79.13%, compared with 68.20% to 74.55% in the control group. The experimental group’s composite interest rating rose from 3.33 (moderate) to 3.86 (high), with significant pre–post differences reported across all four interest dimensions. However, the between-group difference in learning gains was significant only for the bar-models-and-equations competency (p = .021); the other three competencies showed no significant between-group differences. The reported interest–competence association was nonsignificant (p = .875). The findings support digitized game-based activities as a supplementary strategy for improving students’ mathematics interest, while indicating more limited evidence of advantages in achievement across all targeted competencies.

This study explored attachment-related responses and self-reported relationship experiences among adults. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was conducted using an online questionnaire; the supplied response file contained 57 records. The questionnaire included demographic questions, 12 attachment-related statements, six relationship-experience statements, and an optional open-ended question about healthy relationships. Descriptive statistics were calculated. For exploratory analysis, four items concerning fear of rejection and reassurance were averaged into an anxiety-related index, and four items concerning emotional disclosure, closeness, and independence were averaged into an avoidance-related index. These researcher-created indices are not validated psychological scales. Spearman rank correlations were used to examine associations with relationship-experience ratings. The six-item relationship-experience composite had a mean of 3.65 on a 1-5 scale. The anxiety-related index was positively associated with the composite (ρ = .315, p = .017), as was the avoidance-related index (ρ = .430, p = .001), contrary to the initially anticipated negative direction. Since the items were not validated, no reverse-scoring was applied, and the sample was a convenience sample with uneven demographic representation, these findings must be interpreted cautiously. They do not establish causation or justify classifying individuals by attachment style.

Background: Psychological stress is a common issue among faculty members due to increasing academic, administrative, and professional responsibilities. Prolonged stress negatively affect mental well-being, job satisfaction, and work performance. Therefore, assessing the level of psychological stress among faculty members is essential for identifying the need for stress-management strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the level of psychological stress among faculty members of colleges and universities. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 101 faculty members from colleges and universities. Participants were recruited using a convenience sampling technique. Data were collected through structured online questionnaire consisting of demographic information and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages, were used for data analysis. Results: A total of 101 faculty members participated in the study. The majority of participants were above 30 years of age (46%), female (64%), worked 40-50 hours per week (41%), and possessed a master's degree (68%). Assessment of stress levels using the perceived stress scale revealed 91% of participants experienced moderate stress, 6% experienced low stress, and 3% experienced high stress. Most respondents reported experiencing stress-related feelings such as being upset unexpectedly, inability to control important things in life, nervousness, and difficulty coping "sometimes," indicating a moderate level of perceived psychological stress. Conclusions: The findings indicate that psychological stress is prevalent among faculty members of colleges and universities, with moderate stress being the most commonly reported level. These results highlight need for effective stress-management interventions and workplace wellness programs to promote psychological well-being among faculty members.

The purpose of this study is to examine how parentification and perceived stress impact adolescents' psychological and behavioural adjustment. This study explored the associations between parentification, perceived stress, and disruptive behaviour, and the predictive and mediating effects of these variables. The method of the research was descriptive cross sectional, purposive sampling was used for gathering samples, the number of samples obtained was 250.The methods used were descriptive cross sectional design, purposive sampling was used for sampling. The Parentification Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Disruptive Behaviour Scale were used to collect the data. The SPSS Version 26 was used for descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, regression analysis and Hayes’ PROCESS Macro (Model 4). Results showed that parentification was not a significant predictor of perceived stress and disruptive behaviour. Perceived stress, however, was a strong predictor of disruptive behaviour. Indirect effect of parentification on disruptive behaviour via perceived stress was also non-significant. Impression of stress seems to be a key factor related to disruptive behaviour among adolescents, while the impact of parentification could differ based on contextual and cultural factors. The results emphasize the need for stress reduction and psychological health promotion initiatives for youth in Pakistan.

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a Problem-Based Wordwall Edugame instructional package for sixth-grade Science and Social Studies (IPAS) and examine its association with students’ critical-thinking performance. Using a research-and-development approach guided by the ADDIE model, the study incorporated a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest comparison involving all 30 sixth-grade students at SDN 3 Sendangrejo, Indonesia, assigned by pretest scores to experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. Data were collected through expert-validation sheets, classroom observations, teacher and student response questionnaires, and critical-thinking tests, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, paired- and independent-samples t-tests, and normalized gains. Expert validation yielded 87% for content, 89% for media, and 88% for learning devices; implementation reached 92.76%, and teacher and student responses each reached 93%. Mean critical-thinking scores increased from 56.80 to 89.87 in the experimental group and from 53.73 to 68.87 in the control group; normalized gains were 0.77 and 0.33, respectively. The posttest group difference was significant, t(28) = 12.73, p < .001. These findings are consistent with constructivist and problem-based learning research and suggest that pedagogically integrated gamification can support critical-thinking development. However, the single-school sample, nonrandom group allocation, and combined intervention limit causal inference and generalizability; larger controlled studies should test individual components and longer-term effects.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the internalised stigma and self-esteem in adult outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD) attending a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Iraq, and to explore the relationship between these variables. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study among 120 adults with MDD who attended psychiatric outpatient clinics of Azadi Teaching Hospital in Kirkuk, Iraq. All participants filled out a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, the Internalised Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient and simple linear regression. Results: The overall mean ISMI score was 2.90 (SD = 0.42), with the highest scores for stereotype endorsement (M = 3.16) and alienation (M = 3.14) and the lowest for stigma resistance (M = 2.19). The overall mean RSES score was 2.29 (SD = 0.38). There was a negative correlation between internalised stigma and self-esteem (r = −0.338, p < 0.001). Self-esteem was statistically associated with internalised stigma (β = −0.338, t = −3.897, p < 0.001), explaining 11.4% of the variance (R² = 0.114) in simple linear regression. Conclusions: In this single-centre sample of adults with MDD, internalised stigma and self-esteem were inversely related. Since the study is a cross-sectional design, the association observed cannot be considered a causal relationship. The results provide a basis for consideration of the psychosocial aspects of routine psychiatric care (stigma and self-esteem) and for further longitudinal and multicentre research to establish temporal relationships and to determine potentially modifiable factors.

Reading achievement is influenced by a variety of cognitive and affective elements, with reading motivation and metacognitive awareness identified as two of the most important. This study examined (1) the relationship of students' reading motivation and reading achievement, (2) the relationship between metacognitive awareness and reading achievement, and (3) the combined contribution of reading motivation and metacognitive awareness to reading achievement among eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Sungai Lilin. Employing a quantitative correlational research design, The population for this research comprised 344 students enrolled in the eleventh grade from ten classes. Cluster random sampling was then applied to obtain a sample of 106 students. Data were gathered through the Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ), the Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS), and a reading achievement test. The obtained data were processed and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25, which included descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation, partial correlation, and multiple regression. The findings showed that a positive relationship of moderate strength was associated with reading achievement (r = .600, p < .001), whereas metacognitive awareness demonstrated a strong positive relationship with reading achievement (r = .791, p < .001). In addition, the partial correlation analysis revealed a significant but weak positive association between reading motivation and metacognitive awareness after controlling for reading achievement (r = .304, p = .002). Reading motivation and metacognitive awareness explained 64.5% of the variation associated with reading achievement (R² =.645), according to the multiple regression analysis. These findings underscore the important roles of both reading motivation and metacognitive awareness in supporting students' reading achievement and suggest that both factors should be explicitly integrated into reading instruction to enhance students' reading performance

This study examined the relationship between innovative and inclusive teaching practices and student motivation and academic performance among Grade 5 and Grade 6 pupils in selected public elementary schools in Lutayan, Sultan Kudarat, Philippines, during the School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it determined the level of innovative teaching practices in terms of teaching strategies, use of instructional materials and technology, and student engagement activities; assessed inclusive teaching practices in terms of respect for learner diversity, equal participation, and support for diverse learning needs; identified the level of student motivation; and examined the relationships between these variables and academic performance. A descriptive-correlational research design using a quantitative approach was employed. Data were gathered from 97 Grade 5 and Grade 6 pupils through a validated researcher-made questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.892, indicating strong internal consistency. Descriptive statistics and correlational analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that School administrators should provide sustained professional development to strengthen teachers’ innovative and inclusive instructional approaches and allocate resources to enhance access to technology and learning materials. Teachers should consistently apply differentiated, student-centered strategies and foster welcoming, diversity-affirming classrooms to boost student motivation and equitable achievement further further. Parents and guardians should reinforce school learning at home by encouraging curiosity, effort, and consistent study habits, and maintaining open communication with teachers. Future researchers should conduct experimental or longitudinal studies to examine cause-and-effect relationships and explore additional factors influencing academic performance beyond those investigated in this study. Innovative teaching practices, inclusive teaching practices, and student motivation were rated at a high level, which means teachers effectively practice inclusive teaching by recognizing learner diversity, promoting equal participation, and providing support to students with different learning needs; teachers also frequently use innovative teaching practices, apply engaging teaching strategies, integrate instructional materials and technology, and promote active student engagement in classroom learning activities. Furthermore, significant positive relationships were found between innovative teaching practices and academic performance, inclusive teaching practices and academic performance, and student motivation and academic performance, with a moderate correlation coefficient (r = 0.57). Overall, the findings indicate that these educational variables are positively associated with academic performance among the respondents.

The present study aimed at examining relationship between sociotropy and autonomy with self-esteem and anxiety in adults in Pakistan and to test the moderation effect of perceived social support in the relationships between sociotropy and autonomy with self-esteem and anxiety. Methods: A quantitative correlational design was used. The sample consisted of 500 healthy unmarried individuals aged 18-29 years who were selected from government and private universities across the country, using a purposive sampling technique. The Personal Style Inventory, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the anxiety subscale of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 were all filled out by the participants. Data were processed in SPSS version 26, descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation, Hayes' PROCESS Macro Model 1 and internal consistency analysis were used. Results: There was a significant correlation between sociotropy and anxiety (r=.22, p<.01) and with perceived social support (r=.29, p<.01), but not with self-esteem (r=-.05, p=.267). Self-esteem (r=.15, p<.01), anxiety (r=.12, p<.01) and perceived social support (r=.20, p<.01) were positively related to autonomy. Perceived social support was shown to be significantly positively related to self-esteem (r=.14, p<.01) and, surprisingly, not significantly related to anxiety (r≈0, p=.977). Sociotropy × perceived social support interactions were significant for self-esteem (B=.002, p=.026) and anxiety (B=.001, p=.010), but the autonomy × perceived social support interactions were not significant for self-esteem (B≈0, p=.750) or anxiety (B≈0, p=.569). Conclusion: The results suggest that the sociotropic orientation is related to higher anxiety and that perceived social support modifies the relationship between sociotropy and self-esteem and anxiety. A positive relationship was found between autonomy and self-esteem and autonomy and anxiety; and perceived social support did not significantly change these relationships. These findings underline the need for taking both vulnerability and inter-personal resources into account to comprehend anxiety in young adults in Pakistan.

Background: Psychiatric disorders differ in their typical age of onset, but evidence describing onset patterns in small clinical samples from Kerala, India, is limited. This pilot study examined the association between diagnostic group and age of symptom onset and described the interval between symptom onset and first diagnosis. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using 50 consecutively sampled patient records from psychiatric outpatient and inpatient services at VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, Kerala. Diagnoses were based on DSM-5 criteria. Data included age at symptom onset, age at first diagnosis, sex, source of onset information, family psychiatric history, comorbidity, and medical or neurological conditions. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were used; inferential analyses were considered exploratory. Results: Participants included 30 males and 20 females; mean current age was 35.14 ± 15.36 years. Mean age at symptom onset was 26.02 ± 14.83 years (median 25.5; range 1-72), and 28% reported onset before age 18. Age of onset differed across ten diagnostic groups (Kruskal-Wallis H = 28.58, df = 9, p < 0.001). Median onset was earliest in neurodevelopmental disorders (3.5 years) and latest in neurocognitive disorders (66 years). Median onset-to-diagnosis interval was one year (interquartile range 0-4); 14% waited six years or longer. Earlier onset correlated with a longer interval to diagnosis (Spearman ? = -0.350, p = 0.013). No significant sex difference in onset age was observed. Conclusion: The findings suggest distinct onset patterns across diagnostic groups in this clinical sample and indicate that some patients experience prolonged diagnostic delays. Larger, multicentre studies are required to confirm these exploratory results.

Students’ learning outcomes in Informatics remain a challenge when conventional instructional media offer limited interaction, contributing to passive engagement and difficulties understanding learning materials. This study examined changes in Grade X students’ learning outcomes after the implementation of Wordwall-assisted interactive learning media for the Computer Systems topic at SMAN 1 Sawahlunto, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 30 students from class X E4. Students completed a multiple-choice achievement test before instruction, participated in Computer Systems learning activities supported by Wordwall, and completed a posttest afterward. The intervention incorporated game-based activities to support practice and engagement; however, the research records did not specify its duration. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test, with normalized gain (N-Gain) used to assess the level of improvement. The mean score increased from 53.67 on the pretest to 77.67 on the posttest, a difference of 24.00 points. The paired-samples t-test identified a statistically significant difference between scores (t = 8.664, df = 29, p < 0.001). The mean N-Gain was 0.538, indicating moderate improvement. These results show that students’ scores were higher after the Wordwall-assisted learning intervention. Nevertheless, the study did not include a control group, the observed change cannot be attributed to Wordwall alone; instructional or testing-related factors may also have contributed. Wordwall therefore be considered a useful supplementary medium for Informatics instruction, while further studies using control groups, larger samples, and documented intervention durations are needed to strengthen conclusions about its effectiveness.

Background: Awareness of youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services (YFSRHS) is an important starting point for enabling young people to identify and seek appropriate sexual and reproductive health information and care. However, awareness of these services may vary across settings, including higher education institutions. Objective: To determine the level of awareness of YFSRHS among undergraduate students at Saint Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT), Malimbe Campus. Methods: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate students at SAUT Malimbe Campus. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire. Of 109 questionnaires distributed, 108 completed questionnaires were included in the analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize students’ awareness and reported sources of information. Results: Of the 108 respondents, 96 (88.9%) reported having heard of YFSRHS, while 12 (11.1%) had not. Social media was the most frequently reported source of information (44.0%), followed by friends or peers (41.0%) and health facilities (36.0%). University programmes and posters or advertisements were reported less frequently. Conclusion: Most respondents had heard of YFSRHS, with social media and peer networks serving as prominent information channels. Strengthening accurate information through these channels, alongside university-based communication, may help address the awareness gap among students who remain unreached.

This study examines career development as a predictor of achievement motivation among public elementary school teachers in Pabelan District, Semarang Regency, Indonesia. The study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of public elementary school teachers in Pabelan District, and data were collected from 128 teachers using structured Likert-scale questionnaires measuring career development and achievement motivation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption testing, and simple linear regression to determine the predictive association between career development and teachers’ achievement motivation. The findings indicate that teachers’ achievement motivation was generally high, with a mean score of 148.09, while career development also demonstrated a relatively favorable level, with a mean score of 128.93. Among the dimensions of achievement motivation, the need for affiliation obtained the highest percentage (88.10%), followed by the need for achievement (87.30%) and the need for power (85.40%). Regarding career development, self-development showed the highest percentage (87.50%), followed by experience (86.90%) and work performance (82.90%). Regression analysis indicated a positive and statistically significant predictive association between career development and achievement motivation. The estimated regression model was Ŷ = 52.86 + 0.74X, with an estimated R² of 0.490, indicating that career development statistically accounted for approximately 49.0% of the variance in achievement motivation within the sample. These findings highlight the importance of providing sustainable opportunities for teachers’ professional growth, career development, and self-improvement to support achievement-oriented motivation.

While research into inclusivity and dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental condition affecting language learning, has gained greater attention, multilevel stakeholders’ perspectives across both public schools and teacher education programs remain underexplored. Addressing this gap, this study adapts the broader UNESCO Policy Review Framework as a lens for investigating dyslexia-friendly inclusive practices among ELT stakeholders, including in-service teachers, school administrators, teacher educators, and university administrators in the Riau Islands, Indonesia. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, this study gathered data through questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Subsequently, data were analyzed via descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results revealed limited awareness of dyslexia and inclusive education, alongside misconceptions and reliance on special schools. Although inclusive practices were evident (mainly differentiated instruction), specific support for students with dyslexia remained unaddressed. Despite inclusion being viewed positively and mandated within the education system, its implementation remained weak. The study offers implications for systemic reform, suggesting that ELT stakeholders enhance their inclusive practices through training and developing inclusive institutional management. Additionally, teacher education institutions should pursue curricular adjustments to incorporate dyslexia-friendly inclusive practices.

This study investigated the relationship between Senior High School mathematics teachers’ epistemological knowledge and mathematical discourse practices, examined differences based on selected profile variables, and determined the predictive influence of epistemological knowledge on discourse practices. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study involved 43 Senior High School mathematics teachers from 13 public secondary schools in the Schools Division of Lipa City, selected through total population sampling. Data were gathered using two researcher-developed instruments: the Epistemological Knowledge in Mathematics Questionnaire (EKMQ) and the Mathematical Discourse Practices Questionnaire (MDPQ), both subjected to expert validation and reliability testing. Following ethical research protocols, questionnaires were administered online. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson product-moment correlation, and simple linear regression. Findings revealed that teachers demonstrated a high extent of epistemological knowledge and highly practiced mathematical discourse in classroom instruction. No significant differences in epistemological knowledge were observed based on ancillary roles, while mathematical discourse practices differed significantly according to the number of mathematics-related trainings and seminars attended. Furthermore, a strong positive relationship existed between epistemological knowledge and mathematical discourse practices, with epistemological knowledge significantly predicting discourse practices. These findings emphasized the importance of strengthening teachers’ understanding of mathematical knowledge and promoting meaningful classroom communication. Consequently, the Mathematical Discourse Enhancement Program (MDEP) was developed as a research-based professional development initiative designed to enhance teachers’ epistemological knowledge, improve mathematical discourse practices, and support effective mathematics instruction through targeted professional learning opportunities and continuous instructional improvement.

This study examined teachers' readiness, attitudes, challenges, lived experiences, and assessed effectiveness of the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program in the Division of Bohol during School Year 2026–2027 as a basis for a comprehensive action plan. Anchored in program implementation, reading readiness, constructivist, and sociocultural learning perspectives, the study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-method design involving 277 Grade 7 ARAL teachers from 129 public secondary schools. Data were collected using a validated researcher-developed questionnaire and semi-structured interviews and analyzed through descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and thematic analysis. Findings revealed high teacher readiness (M = 3.16), highly favorable attitudes (M = 3.22), highly encountered challenges (M = 2.88), and highly assessed program effectiveness (M = 3.08). Regression analysis showed that readiness, attitudes, and challenges significantly predicted assessed effectiveness (R² = 0.643, p < .001), explaining 64.3% of its variance, with attitudes emerging as the strongest predictor. Teachers reported challenges involving limited instructional time, inadequate resources, additional workloads, irregular learner attendance, and insufficient parental support. Qualitative findings highlighted differentiated instruction, diagnostic assessment, collaboration, and adaptive teaching practices as coping mechanisms. The study concluded that teacher preparedness, positive attitudes, and effective challenge management were essential to ARAL implementation. It recommended continuous professional development, adequate resources, flexible scheduling, stronger stakeholder collaboration, and regular monitoring. The study supported Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) by promoting equitable learning recovery and collaborative educational interventions. Its sustainability contribution emphasized institutional capacity building, educational continuity, and strengthened stakeholder participation for long-term program implementation.

This study examined sustainability-oriented school leadership, environmental management practices, and climate resilience among selected school heads in Sapa-Sapa I District, Tawi-Tawi, as a basis for developing a Sustainable School Governance Framework. Anchored in the Whole-Institution Approach to Education for Sustainable Development, Sustainable Educational Leadership, and Organizational Climate Resilience, the study employed a descriptive-correlational design using a structured five-point Likert-scale questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Kendall's tau-b correlation were applied to 12 school-head response profiles. The illustrative results indicated High levels of sustainability-oriented leadership (M = 3.55) and environmental management practices (M = 3.43), while climate resilience was rated Moderate (M = 3.33). Limited financial resources (66.67%), insufficient training (58.33%), inadequate infrastructure (50.00%), and limited technological support (41.67%) emerged as major challenges. A significant positive relationship was observed between leadership and environmental management (τ = 0.467, p = 0.048), while relationships involving climate resilience were not statistically significant. A preliminary Sustainable School Governance Framework was proposed, emphasizing strategic leadership, environmental resource management, disaster preparedness, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement. The study recommends strengthening institutional monitoring, resource conservation, capacity-building initiatives, and learning continuity mechanisms, subject to validation using actual survey data. The study aligns with SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Its potential sustainability impact involves strengthening environmental responsibility, institutional resilience, collaborative governance, and climate-responsive educational management in island-based school communities.

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.

This study examined the challenges and opportunities experienced by elementary teachers in the new normal education in the Third Congressional District of the Schools Division of Iloilo, Philippines, during the school year 2021–2022, as a basis for developing an instructional training program. Anchored on the Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) framework, the study employed a descriptive-correlational research design involving 60 elementary teachers. Data were collected using a researcher-modified questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, the Mann–Whitney U test, and Spearman rho correlation. Findings revealed that teachers experienced a moderately challenging level of difficulties (M = 2.68), primarily involving limited internet connectivity, health safety concerns, insufficient technological devices, and financial constraints. Conversely, respondents reported a high level of opportunities (M = 3.85), particularly in professional learning, personal development, technological adaptation, and learner engagement. No significant differences were found in challenges and opportunities when respondents were classified according to age, sex, and civil status. However, a significant negative relationship was established between challenges and opportunities (rs = −0.453, p < 0.001), indicating that greater challenges were associated with fewer perceived opportunities. Based on these findings, a five-day instructional training program focusing on technological competencies and digital instructional applications was proposed. The study supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by emphasizing teacher professional development and inclusive instructional practices, and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) through educational technology integration. Its sustainability implications highlight the importance of continuous professional development, institutional technical assistance, and adaptable instructional strategies in strengthening educational resilience and sustaining quality elementary education.

Background: Online learning outcomes may relate to students? preparedness and participation, but intention to continue is distinct from verified institutional retention. This study examined the associations among online learning readiness, student engagement, and retention intention among higher-education students in Kuwait. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional questionnaire was administered online from 1-20 September 2026. The supplied dataset included 100 complete responses recruited through personal contacts and community WhatsApp groups. Readiness (20 items), engagement (24 items), and a broad continuation-related index (19 items) were scored as mean Likert responses. Analyses included descriptive statistics, internal consistency, Pearson and Spearman correlations, and a joint regression with HC3 robust coefficient inference. Results: Mean readiness was 4.398 (SD 0.716), engagement 4.353 (SD 0.727), and the broad continuation-related score 4.258 (SD 0.762), on a five-point scale. Pairwise associations were positive: readiness-engagement, r = .890; readiness-retention intention, r = .792; and engagement-retention intention, r = .832 (all p < .001). In the joint model, engagement remained positively associated with the outcome (B = 0.643, HC3 95% CI 0.382-0.903, p < .001), while the readiness coefficient was uncertain (B = 0.262, 95% CI -0.025-0.549, p = .073). The model explained 70.6% of sample variance; this is not evidence of out-of-sample prediction. A narrower, exploratory direct-intention item subset showed a similar pattern. Conclusion: In this convenience sample, higher self-reported readiness and engagement co-occurred with stronger continuation intentions, with engagement showing the more stable adjusted association. Cross-sectional self-report data, unvalidated item sets, influential observations, and nonprobability recruitment preclude causal or population-wide conclusions. No subsequent enrollment was measured; formal ethics approval was not obtained and requires transparent institutional guidance before publication.

This study examined teachers’ readiness and perceived effectiveness in implementing Makabansa and Araling Panlipunan under the revised K to 10 (MATATAG) Framework across 33 public schools in the Schools Division of Parañaque City during School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it sought to determine whether teacher readiness significantly predicted perceived effectiveness and to identify which readiness domains most strongly influenced outcomes. Employing a quantitative-correlational design, the study utilized stratified random sampling to ensure proportional representation across grade levels and supervisory contexts. The study involved 271 public school respondents, composed of 227 teachers handling learners in Key Stages 1–3 and 44 immediate coordinators, namely head teachers and master teachers. Data were collected through validated researcher-made survey instruments measuring readiness and perceived effectiveness and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression techniques. Findings revealed that both teachers and coordinators demonstrated very high levels of readiness and effectiveness. Correlation analysis confirmed a significant positive relationship between readiness and effectiveness, while regression analysis demonstrated that readiness significantly predicted effectiveness. Teacher readiness explained 22.4% of the variance in perceived effectiveness (R² = .224, β = .473, p < .001), while coordinator readiness explained 53.9% (R² = .539, β = .734, p < .001). As a practical output, the study developed a Teacher Readiness Toolkit for Makabansa and Araling Panlipunan.

Curriculum reform depends on how school leaders support its everyday implementation. This study examined the relationship between curriculum leadership practices and perceived curriculum implementation effectiveness among public school heads in Albay, Ligao City, and Iriga City, Philippines. Guided by Hallinger and Murphy’s instructional leadership model, a cross-sectional descriptive-correlational design was used. Fifty school heads voluntarily completed a questionnaire containing 60 items across six subscales. Analyses included descriptive statistics, internal consistency estimates, Pearson correlation, and simultaneous multiple regression, supplemented by rank-based correlation, robust standard errors, and influential-case checks. Respondents reported very high leadership practices (M = 4.702, SD = 0.375) and implementation effectiveness (M = 4.678, SD = 0.359). However, 71.2% of item responses received the highest rating, indicating a ceiling effect. Overall leadership and implementation scores were strongly associated (r = .804, p < .001). The regression model explained 66.8% of the observed variance. Positive learning climate was the only dimension with a significant unique association (B = 0.535, β = .595, p = .002), a finding retained in sensitivity analyses. Mission definition and instructional management did not contribute significant additional variance after their overlap with learning climate was considered. Findings suggest that collaboration, recognition, inclusion, and professional learning deserve attention in curriculum support. Nevertheless, the voluntary sample, common source of measurement, unverified content validity, and overlapping predictors limit interpretation. The results describe perceptions rather than independently demonstrated effectiveness and cannot establish causation. Larger studies using validated instruments, teacher reports, observations, and documentary evidence are needed to test these relationships.

Academic stress is a significant psychological and educational concern among undergraduate students because university study involves high academic workload, frequent examinations, strict performance expectations, overlapping deadlines, adjustment to new learning environments, and crucial decisions about future careers. Anxiety may increase substantially when students perceive academic demands as exceeding their available coping resources, whereas self-efficacy refers to students' internal beliefs about their capability to successfully organize and execute courses of action required to manage academic tasks. The present study proposes to examine the complex relationship among academic stress, anxiety, and self-efficacy among undergraduate students. A quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational research design will be used. Undergraduate students meeting the inclusion criteria will be recruited using an appropriate non-probability sampling technique. Data will be collected using a demographic information sheet and standardized self-report measures of academic stress, anxiety, and general/academic self-efficacy. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression will be used to examine the study variables. The findings may assist counselling psychologists, student-support services, faculty members, and educational institutions in identifying modifiable psychological factors relevant to undergraduate adjustment.

Introduction: Suicidal behaviors among adolescents are increasing globally, yet the differences between educational levels remain unclear, which hinders the design of specific prevention strategies. Objective: To compare suicidal behaviors (ideation, risk factors, and depression) between middle school and high school students in Pachuca and San Agustín Tlaxiaca, Hidalgo, Mexico. Methodology: A quantitative, cross-sectional, comparative, non-experimental study was conducted with 38 students (20 middle school students, 18 high school students) aged 14 to 18 years. Three instruments were applied: a test to assess the risk level of suicidal ideation and behavior, a risk factor guide, and the PHQ-9 depression questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Middle school students had a higher proportion of high risk for suicidal behaviors (30.00%) compared to high school students (5.56%). A high level of depression was found only in high school seniors (11.11%). Both groups showed similar proportions of high risk based on risk factors (25.00% in middle school and 22.22% in high school). A significant positive correlation (ρ = 0.52) was found between suicidal thoughts and risk factors (p < 0.05). The Mann-Whitney U test revealed no significant differences between groups. (U = 145.5; p = 0.312). Conclusions: Although no statistically significant differences were found between educational levels and the groups were confounded by institution, municipality, and age, a trend toward a higher proportion of high risk for suicidal behaviors was observed in middle school students and of high depression in high school students. These findings should be interpreted with caution and support the need for prevention programs tailored to each educational level, to be confirmed in studies with greater statistical power and adjustment for confounders.

Cyberbullying has become an important concern for adolescent well-being because online harassment can continue beyond school settings and expose young people to repeated social stress. This study examined the relationships between cyberbullying exposure, emotion-regulation strategies, and mental health among adolescents. A quantitative, cross-sectional correlational design was used with 100 secondary-school adolescents aged 13-18 years (M = 15.42, SD = 1.38). Measures included the Cyber-Victimization Scale (CYBVICS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Early Adolescent Mental Health Scale (EAMHS). Descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlations, and simple linear regression analyses were reported. Cyberbullying exposure was negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r = -.42, p < .001) and mental health (r = -.58, p < .001), and positively correlated with expressive suppression (r = .48, p < .001). Cognitive reappraisal was positively associated with mental health (r = .51, p < .001), whereas expressive suppression was negatively associated with mental health (r = -.46, p < .001). Regression analysis indicated that cyberbullying exposure accounted for 33.6% of the variance in mental-health scores, R? = .336, F(1, 98) = 49.68, p < .001. The findings indicate meaningful associations among online victimization, emotion regulation, and adolescent well-being. Because the study is cross-sectional and relies on self-report measures, the findings do not establish causality.

Mothers often manage everyday discipline while also carrying the strain and worry that come with raising a child, yet these experiences are rarely studied together in Indian samples. This study examined the relationship between parenting attitude, parental stress, and anxiety in mothers. A quantitative, cross-sectional correlational design was used with 59 mothers selected through convenience sampling. Participants completed a 30-item questionnaire rated on a five-point Likert scale, in which parenting attitude was assessed through three dimensions (laxness, over-reactivity, and verbosity), and parental stress and anxiety were each assessed with ten study-developed items. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, and Pearson's correlation, with Spearman's rank correlation as an additional check. Mean scores were 3.30 (SD = 0.54) for parenting attitude, 3.06 (SD = 0.89) for parental stress, and 3.16 (SD = 0.72) for anxiety. Significant positive correlations were found between parenting attitude and parental stress (r = .52, p < .001), parenting attitude and anxiety (r = .44, p < .001), and parental stress and anxiety (r = .51, p < .001), and all three remained significant in a sensitivity analysis. Over-reactivity and verbosity were more strongly related to stress than laxness was. The findings suggest that difficulties in discipline, parenting strain, and worry tend to occur together, and that support for mothers could address emotional strain alongside parenting skills.

Mothers handle everyday discipline while also carrying the strain and worry of the parenting role, yet these experiences are often studied separately. This study examined the relationships between parenting attitude, parental stress, and anxiety among mothers. A quantitative, cross-sectional correlational design was used with a convenience sample of 59 mothers, who completed a 30-item questionnaire rated on a five-point Likert scale. Parenting attitude was assessed through three discipline dimensions based on the Parenting Scale (laxness, over-reactivity, and verbosity), and parental stress and anxiety were each assessed with ten statements developed for the study. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, and Pearson and Spearman correlations. Mean scores were 3.30 (SD = 0.54) for parenting attitude, 3.06 (SD = 0.89) for parental stress, and 3.16 (SD = 0.72) for anxiety. Parenting attitude correlated positively with parental stress (r = .52, p < .001) and anxiety (r = .44, p < .001), and parental stress correlated with anxiety (r = .51, p < .001). Over-reactivity and verbosity were more closely related to stress than laxness was. Internal consistency was high for the stress (α = .91) and anxiety (α = .88) scales. The findings suggest that discipline difficulties, stress, and worry tend to occur together in mothers, although the design does not permit causal conclusions. Support programmes for mothers may benefit from addressing stress and worry alongside parenting skills.

ABSTRACT Digital transformation in education has encouraged changes in school management, requiring school principals to demonstrate adaptive and visionary leadership and to facilitate organizational change. Transformational leadership is a relevant approach because it emphasizes the ability of leaders to build a vision, provide motivation, encourage innovation, and empower teachers in responding to change. This study aimed to analyze teachers’ perceptions of the principal’s transformational leadership in the digital era at SMAN 9 Mataram based on the dimensions of idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design. The study population and sample consisted of 57 teachers selected using total sampling (census sampling), in which all active teachers were included as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that teachers’ perceptions of the principal’s transformational leadership were in the positive category. The principal was perceived as demonstrating exemplary leadership, fostering motivation, supporting innovation, and paying attention to teachers’ professional development. These findings indicate that transformational leadership is reflected in various leadership practices that support an adaptive school environment in response to educational change and digital transformation.

This study assessed the extent of instructional supervision practices among head teachers in public primary schools in Kibondo District, Tanzania. The study was guided by the positivist research paradigm and employed a mixed-methods approach using a convergent parallel research design. A total of 294 participants were involved in the study, comprising 12 head teachers, 272 primary school teachers, 9 Ward Education Officers (WEOs), and 1 District Education Officer (DEO). Head teachers, WEOs, and the DEO were selected using purposive sampling, while primary school teachers were selected through simple random sampling. Quantitative data were collected using structured questionnaires administered to teachers, while qualitative data were obtained through interviews with head teachers, WEOs, and the DEO. Documentary review was also used to examine supervision schedules, classroom-observation records, lesson-plan monitoring records, and teachers’ feedback records. Quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) through descriptive statistics, particularly means and standard deviations, while qualitative data were analysed thematically. The findings revealed that instructional supervision practices were generally implemented at low to moderate levels. Maintaining written supervision records received the highest rating (M = 2.80, SD = 1.40), followed by organising school-based professional development (M = 2.65, SD = 1.40) and encouraging peer observation and mentoring (M = 2.61, SD = 1.44). In contrast, classroom-focused activities recorded relatively lower ratings, including reviewing teachers’ schemes of work (M = 2.26, SD = 1.51), classroom observation (M = 2.27, SD = 1.48), checking lesson plans (M = 2.29, SD = 1.47), and monitoring continuous assessment practices (M = 2.29, SD = 1.53). Qualitative and documentary evidence indicated that competing administrative responsibilities, staffing constraints, and other school-level demands constrained the consistent implementation of classroom-focused supervision. The study concludes that instructional supervision was implemented unevenly, with relatively greater emphasis on administrative documentation and professional development activities than on direct classroom-focused supervision. The study recommends strengthening head teachers’ instructional leadership competencies, reducing competing administrative workloads, addressing staffing constraints, and establishing systematic mechanisms for regular classroom observation, constructive feedback, professional development, and follow-up of instructional practices.

This study investigates the influence of planning and coordination in quality assurance practices on management of instruction in public secondary schools in North-Central Nigeria. The study examined how planning activities and coordination mechanisms enhance instructional effectiveness within the school system. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The study covered Kwara, Kogi, Niger, Benue, Nasarawa, and Plateau States. The population comprised 1,730 principals, 30,232 teachers, and 402 quality assurance officers. Using a multi-stage sampling technique, a sample of 785 participants (274 principals, 375 teachers, and 136 quality assurance officers) was selected from 274 public senior secondary schools. Data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire titled Influence of Planning and Coordination in Quality Assurance Practice on Management of Instruction in Public Secondary Schools (IPCQAPMIPSS). Reliability was established through Cronbach’s alpha (α = 0.889), indicating strong internal consistency. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to answer research questions with a decision mean of 2.50. Findings revealed that planning practices such as timely preparation of timetables and lesson plans were generally accepted, while coordination practices showed moderate implementation across schools. The study concludes that strengthening coordinated quality assurance strategies is essential for improving instructional management and educational outcomes in the region

This study examined the alignment between professional development opportunities and instructional practices among public kindergarten teachers at West City Elementary School, Dumaguete City, during school year 2025–2026. Guided by the integrated Gibbs–ERA reflective framework, it employed a descriptive-correlational design and total enumeration of seven kindergarten teachers. Data were collected through an adapted structured questionnaire administered via Google Forms and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank-order correlation. Respondents rated trainings and seminars (reported composite mean = 3.29), coaching and mentoring (3.48), classroom management (3.88), and teaching strategies (3.89) positively. Teachers particularly endorsed collaborative coaching, effective use of classroom time, supportive student–teacher relationships, differentiation, and adjustment of teaching strategies. Professional development opportunities had a very strong positive association with reported instructional practices (Spearman’s ρ = .860, p = .013, n = 7). These self-reported findings suggest that professional learning and instructional practice are closely aligned in the school, although the single-school, small-sample design cannot establish causality or verify changes in pupil outcomes. The study recommends sustained, school-based training, peer coaching, mentoring, instructional observation, and structured reflection to support transfer of professional learning to everyday teaching.

Creativity is a core competency within Kenya’s Competency-Based Education framework, and Integrated Science offers opportunities for learners to investigate, collaborate, experiment, and apply scientific knowledge. However, limited context-specific evidence exists on how teachers combine instructional strategies to foster creativity in Junior School Integrated Science. This study assessed variations in teachers’ combined use of inquiry-based, collaborative, experiential and hands-on, and technology-enhanced strategies in public Junior Schools in Ainabkoi Sub-County, Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. Guided by Piaget’s Cognitive Constructivist Theory, it adopted a pragmatic worldview and convergent parallel mixed-methods design. Questionnaires were completed by 81 Integrated Science teachers, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 Lead Integrated Science Teachers. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Collaborative learning recorded the highest use (M = 4.06, SD = 0.65), followed by inquiry-based learning (M = 3.94, SD = 0.66), experiential/hands-on learning (M = 3.54, SD = 0.53), and technology-enhanced instruction (M = 2.92, SD = 0.37). HCA yielded three exploratory profiles distinguished by relative emphasis on technology, inquiry and experiential learning, and collaboration. Interviews indicated that teachers adapted strategy combinations to lesson demands, resources, time, class size, and preparation requirements. The findings show variation in teachers’ reported practices, supporting differentiated professional development and improved access to practical and digital resources. Learner creativity was not directly measured.

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.

This study examined the relationships among teachers’ core behavioral competencies, professional performance, and students’ learning achievement in Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) in the Department of Education Districts of Ilog I and II, Negros Occidental, Philippines. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study involved 38 MAPEH teachers and 190 students from ten public secondary schools, selected through total enumeration and proportional sampling, respectively. Data were gathered using a standardized questionnaire based on DepEd Order No. 2, s. 2015, teachers’ Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF) ratings, students’ academic records, and supplementary key informant interviews. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were employed. Findings revealed very high competencies in self-management (M = 3.826) and professionalism and ethics (M = 3.736), while result focus, teamwork, service orientation, and innovation were rated high. Teachers demonstrated very satisfactory professional performance (M = 3.557), whereas students achieved satisfactory academic performance in MAPEH (M = 84.142). Significant positive relationships were reported between result focus and teachers’ performance (r = .869, p = .028), innovation and students’ learning achievement (r = .797, p = .043), and teachers’ performance and students’ learning achievement (r = .797, p = .043). The findings highlighted the relevance of result-oriented practices, instructional innovation, and professional competence in supporting educational outcomes. Continuous professional development and a one-year competency enhancement plan were recommended to strengthen teaching effectiveness and student achievement. The study aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by emphasizing teacher development and improved learning outcomes. Its contribution to educational and institutional sustainability lies in supporting continuous professional improvement, instructional innovation, and sustained educational quality in public secondary schools.

This study examined the implementation and perceived effectiveness of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) strategies in science among teachers and students in five public junior high schools in Panabo City, Davao del Norte. Anchored in Constructivist Learning Theory, Social Constructivism, Progressive Inquiry, and Cognitive Load Theory, it employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational design. Respondents comprised 31 Science teachers selected through total enumeration and 100 Grade 10 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated researcher-developed questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and independent samples t-tests. Teachers rated IBL implementation as Highly Implemented (M = 4.66) and its effectiveness as Highly Effective (M = 4.71), whereas students rated implementation as Implemented (M = 4.17) and effectiveness as Effective (M = 4.09). Significant positive relationships emerged between implementation and perceived effectiveness, with stronger associations in students’ assessments. Significant differences between teacher and student ratings indicated disparities in their classroom perceptions. The findings concerned student engagement, conceptual understanding, scientific inquiry skills, collaborative learning, and problem-solving abilities. The study proposed the INQUIRE+ Professional Development Program to strengthen Science teachers’ inquiry-based instruction through coaching, collaborative lesson study, reflective practice, and systematic monitoring and evaluation. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by supporting improved Science instruction and continuing teacher development. Its contribution to educational and institutional sustainability lies in promoting sustained professional learning, school-based collaboration, and evidence-informed instructional improvement across participating schools and varied local classroom learning contexts. Further evaluation of the proposed program is needed to establish its effectiveness after implementation.

Higher education institutions are expected to continuously evaluate graduate programs to ensure that curricular offerings remain relevant, responsive, and aligned with the evolving demands of professional practice. This study assessed the relevance and applicability of the Master of Arts in Educational Management (MAEM) curriculum of Guagua National Colleges to the current professional work of its graduates and identified areas for curriculum enhancement. Using a quantitative descriptive-comparative research design, data were collected from 33 MAEM graduates through a structured survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and ranking were utilized to analyze quantitative data, while thematic analysis was employed to examine graduates' recommendations. Results revealed that most graduates occupy positions closely related to educational leadership and management, with 87.88% indicating that their present work is highly related or related to educational management. The overall relevance and applicability of the curriculum obtained a very high rating (M = 4.69), while the adequacy of competencies developed through the program received a mean rating of 4.67. Human Resource and Organizational Management emerged as the highest-rated competency area (M = 4.76), whereas Problem-Solving and Evidence-Based Decision-Making obtained the lowest mean rating (M = 4.64), though still interpreted as very high. Graduates recommended strengthening content related to digital leadership, educational technology, artificial intelligence, instructional leadership, research utilization, and experiential learning. Based on these findings, a Responsive MAEM Curriculum Enhancement Framework was proposed. The study concludes that the MAEM curriculum remains highly relevant to current professional requirements but should continuously evolve to address emerging educational challenges and technological advancements.

Understanding dynamic electricity is important because students often experience difficulties in understanding the relationships among electric current, voltage, and resistance in series and parallel circuits. This study aimed to analyze changes in students’ conceptual understanding before and after learning with the Physics Education Technology (PhET) virtual laboratory supported by student worksheets (LKPD), test the statistical significance of these changes, and determine the magnitude of improvement. The study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design without a comparison group. The participants were 20 eighth-grade students at MTs Alkhairaat Biromaru. Data were collected through conceptual understanding tests administered before and after instruction and an observation checklist assessing implementation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a paired-samples t-test, and N-Gain. The results showed that the mean score increased from 43.75 to 53.75, with a statistically significant difference (t(19) = −5.210; p < 0.001). Cohen’s dz was 1.17, indicating a large effect size, whereas the N-Gain of 0.18 was categorized as low. All instructional stages were implemented as planned. Thus, students’ scores increased following the intervention; however, the effectiveness of PhET supported by LKPD cannot be conclusively established without a comparison group. Future research should include a comparison group and a longer instructional period. ABSTRAK Pemahaman konsep listrik dinamis penting dikembangkan karena peserta didik sering mengalami kesulitan memahami hubungan antara arus, tegangan, dan hambatan dalam rangkaian seri maupun paralel. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis perubahan pemahaman konsep peserta didik sebelum dan sesudah pembelajaran menggunakan laboratorium virtual Physics Education Technology (PhET) berbantuan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD), menguji signifikansi perubahannya, serta menentukan besarnya peningkatan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain one-group pretest-posttest tanpa kelas pembanding. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas 20 peserta didik kelas VIII MTs Alkhairaat Biromaru. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes pemahaman konsep sebelum dan sesudah pembelajaran serta lembar observasi keterlaksanaan kegiatan. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji-t berpasangan, dan N-Gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor meningkat dari 43,75 menjadi 53,75, dengan perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik (t19 = −5,210; p < 0,001). Ukuran efek Cohen’s dz sebesar 1,17 termasuk kategori besar, sedangkan N-Gain sebesar 0,18 termasuk kategori rendah. Seluruh tahapan pembelajaran terlaksana sesuai rencana. Dengan demikian, terdapat peningkatan skor setelah pembelajaran, tetapi efektivitas PhET berbantuan LKPD belum dapat dipastikan tanpa kelas pembanding. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan melibatkan kelas pembanding dan durasi pembelajaran yang lebih panjang.

This study examined teacher self-efficacy, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) integration, and their predictive relationships with teacher effectiveness in the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program in the Tagbilaran City Division, Bohol, Philippines. Anchored in Social Cognitive Theory, the Prosocial Classroom Model, the CASEL SEL Framework, Self-Determination Theory, and Emotional Intelligence Theory, the study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Quantitative respondents comprised 202 ARAL teachers and 23 school heads or designated supervisors from eight public junior high schools. The qualitative phase involved 15 teachers and five supervisory participants. Data were collected using a validated, researcher-developed questionnaire, open-ended questions, and interviews, and analyzed through descriptive statistics, multiple regression, Welch’s t-test, and thematic analysis. Findings revealed high teacher self-efficacy (M = 3.99), SEL integration, and teacher effectiveness. SEL integration significantly and positively predicted content knowledge and pedagogy (R² = .154), assessment and reporting (R² = .520), and learning environment (R² = .537), whereas teacher self-efficacy showed no statistically significant unique contribution after accounting for SEL integration. Teachers’ and supervisors’ assessments showed no significant differences. Challenges included learner disengagement, language barriers, diverse learning needs, inadequate instructional resources, insufficient training, and monitoring difficulties. Professional commitment, instructional adaptability, supportive relationships, and administrative assistance facilitated implementation. The study recommends sustained SEL-focused professional development, differentiated instruction, strengthened supervision, and systematic learner monitoring. It supports Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) through inclusive learning recovery, socio-emotional support, and teacher welfare. Its sustainability contribution lies in informing institutional capacity-building, equitable educational opportunities, and continuing professional support for effective ARAL implementation.

Purpose: Although leadership behaviors have been widely examined in relation to teacher outcomes, limited empirical research has explored how different leadership dimensions influence teachers’ morale within highly centralized educational systems such as Thailand’s primary education sector. Existing studies have often emphasized administrative control and procedural compliance, while comparatively less attention has been given to the role of relationship-oriented leadership behaviors in sustaining teachers’ morale within centralized administrative contexts. This study therefore examines the relationship between leadership behaviors within educational administration and teachers’ morale in Thai primary schools in central Thailand. Research design, data and methodology: This study employed a quantitative research design using a survey approach. Data were collected from 417 teachers and educational personnel working in primary schools across central Thailand through anonymous self-administered questionnaires. Leadership behaviors were categorized into task-oriented and relationship-oriented dimensions, while teachers’ morale was examined through Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were employed to examine the relationships between leadership behaviors and teachers’ morale. Results: The findings revealed that both task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership behaviors were positively associated with teachers’ morale. Relationship-oriented leadership behaviors, particularly motivation and participation, demonstrated stronger predictive influence on teachers’ morale than task-oriented dimensions such as planning and supervision. The regression model explained a substantial proportion of variance in teachers’ morale, indicating that interpersonal and participatory leadership practices play an important role within centralized educational environments. Conclusions: The study contributes empirical evidence to educational administration research by demonstrating that leadership effectiveness within centralized educational systems may involve not only administrative coordination and policy implementation but also relationship-oriented leadership practices that support teachers’ professional well-being. The findings further suggest that balancing organizational structure with human-centered leadership may help sustain teachers’ morale within Thai primary schools.

This study examined the relationship between teachers’ pedagogical approaches and the Kindergarten learners’ reading performance in selected schools in the Division of Cagayan de Oro. It assessed five approaches: context support, ICT integration, language experience, phonemic awareness, and the whole-word approach. It also evaluated learners’ performance in comprehension, phonics, and vocabulary. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study involved 115 Kindergarten teachers and 230 learners. Data were gathered through a modified questionnaire and standardized test, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. The findings revealed that teachers demonstrated a very high level of pedagogical approaches, with the whole-word approach rated highest and language experience lowest. Meanwhile, learners achieved satisfactory reading performance, with comprehension as their strongest area and vocabulary as their weakest. However, no significant relationship was found between teachers’ pedagogical approaches and learners’ reading performance. The study concluded that teachers were well-equipped to facilitate reading instruction through various strategies. It recommended providing more opportunities for learners to connect reading and writing activities with their personal experiences, interests, and real-life situations. Teachers were also encouraged to explore alternative instructional practices that address learners’ specific reading needs and improve their overall reading performance.

Academic expectations can be an important part of adolescent development, but students may experience these expectations as pressure. This study examined perceived parental pressure and academic stress among school students aged 16-18 years in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, and assessed the association between the two variables. A quantitative, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional design was used. Convenience sampling yielded 61 consenting students. Data were collected through an online structured questionnaire containing a 20-item perceived parental-pressure measure and a 30-item academic-stress measure. Descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, and Pearson's product-moment correlation were used. The mean perceived parental-pressure score was 52.31 (SD = 17.07), and the mean academic-stress score was 85.62 (SD = 22.59). Internal consistency was high in this sample (α = .95 and .96, respectively). Perceived parental pressure was positively associated with academic stress, r = .38, p = .003, 95% CI [.14, .57]. Students reporting greater perceived parental pressure tended to report greater academic stress. Because the study was cross-sectional and used a convenience sample, the findings do not establish causation and should not be generalised to all adolescents. The results highlight the value of realistic academic expectations, supportive family communication, and accessible school-based student support.

The present study examined the relationship between imposter phenomenon and career anxiety among final-year students in India. A quantitative correlational design was adopted with a sample of 36 final-year students (10 males, 26 females) selected through convenience sampling. Standardized measures included the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale and a self-constructed Career Anxiety Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson?s correlation, and independent-samples t-tests. Results revealed a significant moderate positive correlation between imposter phenomenon and career anxiety (r = .45, p = .006). Female students reported slightly higher scores on both constructs, but gender differences were not statistically significant (p > .05). Findings suggest that imposter feelings contribute to career anxiety and may inform career counselling interventions in college settings.

Depression is a leading cause of illness and disability among adolescents worldwide, yet evidence on its burden among school-going adolescents in rural Kenyan counties remains limited. This study determined the prevalence and socio-demographic factors of depression among secondary school students in Bungoma County, Kenya, to provide baseline evidence for mental health planning. The study was guided by Hopelessness Theory of Depression and Ecological Systems Theory. An analytical mixed methods cross-sectional study design was adopted. The target population consisted of secondary school students, with a sample size of 400 respondents determined using Taro Yamane formula. The respondents were selected through multistage stratified and systematic sampling from three sub-counties of Bungoma County (Mt. Elgon, Kimilili and Bungoma South). Quantitative data were collected using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and a structured questionnaire, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and ordinal logistic regression in SPSS version 28. Qualitative data were obtained through ten Focus group discussions with students and twelve in-depth interviews with class teachers, and analyzed thematically. The overall prevalence of depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 score ≥ 5) was 55.5% (n = 222), 41.5% (n = 166) had mild depression, 9.5% (n = 38) moderate depression, 3.5% (n = 14) moderately severe depression and 1.0% (n = 4) severe depression, while 44.5% (n = 178) were not depressed. Female students were found to be almost twice as likely to experience higher levels of depression compared to the males (AOR= 1.71, P= 0.04). On the other hand, students in mixed day and boarding schools were 78% less likely to experience higher level of depression, (AOR = 0.22, P<0.001), compared to those in girls’ boarding and day schools. Further, students who live with extended family were more than twice as likely as those with both parents to experience higher depression levels (AOR = 2.10, P= 0.04). The qualitative data pointed to gender and family structure as possible associations of depression. Depression is highly prevalent among secondary school students in Bungoma County, with one in seven students experiencing moderate to severe depression. Routine school-based mental health screening using validated tools such as the PHQ-9 is recommended to enable early identification, counselling and referral of affected students.

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.

Background: Mothers of young children with neurodevelopmental disorders may experience substantial parenting demands, but their recent positive mental well-being varies. Objective: To examine the association between parenting stress and psychological well-being among mothers of children aged 0?6 years diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders. Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional correlational study analyzed 85 mothers using the 18-item Parental Stress Scale (PSS-18) and the WHO-5 Well-Being Index. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and a Spearman sensitivity analysis were reported. Results: Mean PSS-18 was 67.55 (SD = 4.73), and mean WHO-5 transformed score was 64.85 (SD = 12.92). Parenting stress was negatively correlated with well-being (Pearson r = -0.675, 95% CI [-0.777, -0.540], p < .001). Spearman correlation was also negative (? = -0.634, p < .001). Conclusion: Greater reported parenting stress was associated with lower recent subjective well-being in this sample. The cross-sectional design does not establish causation. These findings underscore the relevance of attending to caregivers? psychological experiences alongside child-focused services.

This study examined the relationships among study habits, learning-style preferences, and academic performance in Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) among Grade 10 learners of Solano High School, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines, during School Year 2025–2026. Anchored in Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory and Biggs' Presage–Process–Product Model, the study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design involving 300 learners selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using an expert-validated, researcher-made questionnaire and official first-quarter MAPEH grades, with descriptive statistics and Pearson's product-moment correlation used for analysis. Findings revealed high levels of study habits (M = 3.01) and learning-style preferences (M = 3.06), with concentration and interest emerging as the strongest study-habit dimension and tactile learning as the most preferred modality. Academic performance yielded a mean grade of 86.58, with most respondents attaining outstanding or very satisfactory ratings. A significant moderate positive relationship was established between study habits and learning styles (r = 0.635, p < 0.001). However, study habits (r = 0.277, p < 0.001) and learning styles (r = 0.135, p = 0.019) demonstrated statistically significant but negligible positive relationships with academic performance. Visual and auditory preferences showed significant positive correlations with academic achievement, whereas tactile and kinesthetic preferences showed no significant relationships. The study concludes that study habits and learning preferences have limited associations with MAPEH performance, highlighting the need for improved study routines, diverse instructional strategies, and further investigation of other contributing factors. The research supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) and indirectly contributes to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). Its potential sustainability impact lies in strengthening educational practices, supporting evidence-based instructional improvement, and promoting long-term educational and institutional development.

The present study examined the relationship among emotional flexibility, behavioral problem and coping strategies among late adolescents and investigated the mediating role of emotional flexibility in the relationship between internalizing and externalizing behavioral problem and Adaptive and maladaptive copying strategies. A correlational research design was used with a sample of N=200 late adolescent’s age 17 to 19 years, including 97 males and 103 females, selected through convenience sampling from different educational institute. Data were collected using a demographic information sheet, Emotional flexibility scale (EFS), Behavioral problem scale (BPS) and brief COPE inventory. Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, Independence sample test, pearson correlation and mediation analysis through process model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap samples. Finding indicate the males reported significantly higher behavioral problem than females. Significant difference was also found according to the institutional type, with private institute student reporting higher behavioral problem scores, whereas government institute student reported higher coping strategies score. Emotional flexibility significantly predict adaptive copying strategies was significantly negative associated with externalizing behavioral problem. However, emotional flexibility did not significantly mediate with relationship between internalizing or externalizing behavioral problem and adaptive or maladaptive copy as the booster confidence interval for the indirect effect included zero. Overall, the finding suggests the emotional flexibility associate with adolescent coping and behavioral functioning but does not significantly explain the relationship between behavioral problem and copying strategies in the present sample.

This study examined the relationship between pupils’ involvement in school-initiated absenteeism interventions and their academic achievement in Araling Panlipunan in Kadingilan II District, Bukidnon (SY 2019–2020). A descriptive-correlational design was employed involving 101 Grade 4 pupils identified as at risk of dropping out. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire (CVI = 0.89; Cronbach’s α = 0.91) and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson product–moment correlation. Respondents were predominantly male (65.3%), aged 10–11 years (61.4%), from low-income households (85.1% earning ₱1,000–₱10,999), with parents largely self-employed (92.1%) and with elementary education (80.2%). Pupils reported high involvement in interventions: close-door counseling (M = 4.06), home visits (M = 3.80), CFSS (M = 3.74), and school feeding (M = 4.03), while dormitory involvement was low (M = 1.47). Academic achievement was generally low, with 63% fairly satisfactory (75–79) and 36% satisfactory (80–84). No significant differences were observed across most demographic variables (p > .05), except for dormitory involvement by gender and income (p < .05). Correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between intervention involvement and academic achievement (r = -0.186 to 0.149, p > .05). Findings indicate that while interventions enhance participation, they do not directly predict academic outcomes.

The study aimed to find whether differences exist in the perspective of teachers towards online learning when grouped according to profile. Specifically, the study endeavored to describe the profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, civil status, and educational attainment; determine the extent of teachers’ perspective towards online learning in the areas of access, interaction, response, and results; ascertain the level of teachers’ preparedness towards online learning in teaching social studies; and find out whether a significant difference exists in the preparedness of teachers towards online learning when grouped according to age, gender, civil status, and educational attainment. The study was conducted among the national high schools in the Division of Malaybalay City, Bukidnon for the School Year 2020-2021. A total of 96 Social Studies teachers were drawn from (6) national schools through purposive sampling. To gather relevant information needed for the study, the researcher adopted the questionnaire developed by Larsen (2012) and Lichoro (2015). Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and analysis of variance were used to treat the data. The majority of the teachers were in middle adulthood and were predominantly female. It is further revealed that most of them were single and bachelor’s degree holders. Access and interaction were observed in great extent, while responses and results were demonstrated in moderate extent, suggesting that the teachers’ perspective towards online learning showed certainty in the way they take online learning as a learning platform in this pandemic period. Similarly, teachers’ preparedness towards online learning yielded positive results in all indicators, implying that teachers consider online learning as a powerful tool for them to teach and support the learning of the students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a significant difference in the preparedness of teachers when they were grouped according to age, where younger teachers are construed to be ready for this kind of learning delivery, while sex, civil status, and educational attainment did not show significant differences. This means that regardless of their characteristics in these three variables, their preparedness for online learning is the same. Thus, school administrators have to consider teachers to acquire new skills, sharpen existing ones, perform better, increase productivity and be better teachers in this new way of approaching learning.

Vocabulary (mufrodat) mastery underpins speaking skills (maharah kalam), yet elementary Islamic school students may struggle to use vocabulary in speech and retain memorized words after instruction. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of El-Syarif-based vocabulary instruction in improving speaking skills and memorization retention among students at MI Najahiyah Palembang. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample comprised 35 fifth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected through oral speaking tests, an immediate memorization test, and a delayed memorization test. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a paired-samples t-test, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, and N-Gain. The results showed that the mean speaking score increased from 57.37 to 81.63, with an N-Gain of 0.58, categorized as moderate, and a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). The mean memorization score decreased from 83.37 to 79.31, while retention reached 95.1%. These findings indicate that El-Syarif-based instruction can improve students’ speaking skills and help maintain most memorized vocabulary. However, the decline in delayed-test scores indicates that some vocabulary was still forgotten over time. ABSTRAK Penguasaan mufrodat menjadi dasar keterampilan berbicara (maharah kalam), tetapi siswa madrasah ibtidaiyah masih menghadapi kesulitan menggunakan kosakata dalam ujaran dan mempertahankan hafalan setelah pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efektivitas pembelajaran mufrodat berbasis metode El-Syarif dalam meningkatkan maharah kalam dan retensi hafalan siswa di MI Najahiyah Palembang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode eksperimen semu (quasi-experimental) berdesain one-group pretest-posttest. Sampel terdiri atas 35 siswa kelas V yang dipilih melalui teknik total sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes lisan, tes hafalan segera, dan tes hafalan tunda, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji paired-samples t-test, uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank, dan N-Gain. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata maharah kalam meningkat dari 57,37 menjadi 81,63, dengan N-Gain 0,58 dalam kategori sedang dan perbedaan signifikan (p < 0,001). Rata-rata hafalan menurun dari 83,37 menjadi 79,31, tetapi retensi mencapai 95,1%. Disimpulkan bahwa metode El-Syarif berpotensi meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara sekaligus mempertahankan sebagian besar hafalan siswa, meskipun penurunan hafalan tetap terjadi.

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.

This study examined post-pandemic blended learning setups and academic engagement among senior high school students at St. Dominic College of Asia (SDCA). A descriptive, quantitative, non-experimental design was used with 100 respondents: 50 Grade 11 students and 50 Grade 12 students. A structured questionnaire gathered information about respondents’ demographic characteristics, perceptions of blended learning setups, behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and social engagement, and challenges encountered in blended learning. Descriptive statistics, Mann–Whitney U tests, one-way analysis of variance, Spearman’s rank-order correlation, and multiple regression were reported in the thesis. Asynchronous online learning received the highest mean among the three setup indicators (M = 3.87, SD = 0.58), while unreliable internet connectivity was the highest-rated challenge (M = 4.34, SD = 0.65). Reported correlations between blended learning setup scores and the four engagement dimensions were strong and positive (ρ = .898–.906, all p < .001). The thesis also reported statistically significant group differences across demographic categories. However, the regression model’s dependent-variable specification and several descriptive and inferential statistics require confirmation against the original dataset and statistical output before the results can be treated as definitive. The findings point to the importance of accessible learning materials, reliable connectivity, purposeful student interaction, and ongoing monitoring of engagement. A Blended Learning Engagement Framework is proposed to guide institutional assessment, planning, implementation, and continuous improvement.

Introduction Research on the practicum has focused on student teachers, mentors and partnerships between universities and schools, while the pupils in whose classrooms student teachers are placed have rarely been asked about this experience. This study examined how pupils in Ecuadorian host schools perceive the presence, support and influence of student teachers, and to what extent these perceptions can be trusted as evidence. Methods Two age-differentiated questionnaires, with pictographic scales from early childhood education to third grade and verbal scales from fourth grade onward, were administered through a mobile application by the student teachers or by members of the research team hired for data collection (project staff). The dataset comprised 2,453 valid evaluations from 1,140 pupils in 123 classrooms of 38 schools. Analyses included descriptive statistics for the first evaluation of each pupil, agreement between consecutive weekly evaluations, generalized estimating equations that accounted for the nesting of evaluations within pupils, classrooms and schools, a within-pupil comparison of evaluations collected by student teachers and by project staff, and latent class analysis. Results Between 91.5% and 98.5% of pupils gave favorable ratings on seven of eight items, while 69.6% of older pupils always felt comfortable asking student teachers for help. Ratings collected by project staff were lower than those collected by student teachers, especially for comfort in asking for help and perceived influence on learning. Responses of the youngest pupils concentrated in the highest category and did not discriminate reliably between individual pupils, whereas older pupils showed fair to moderate stability on most items and formed highly enthusiastic and moderately favorable profiles. Discussion Pupils perceive student teachers favorably, although part of this favorability reflects social desirability and the developmental limits of young respondents. Pupil voice can inform practicum evaluation when questionnaires are administered by someone other than the student teacher being evaluated and are interpreted according to the age of the pupils.

Teacher development is essential for improving instructional quality and supporting sustainable school improvement. This study examined teacher development needs across educational stages in selected schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by focusing on three key domains: classroom practices, family engagement, and school support. Using a quantitative descriptive-comparative research design, data were collected through a structured survey administered to teachers representing the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Primary, and Secondary levels. Descriptive statistics, One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and rank-order analysis were employed to determine the levels of teacher development indicators, examine differences across educational stages, and identify priority areas for professional development. The findings revealed high levels of teacher development across all three domains, with classroom practices receiving the highest ratings, followed by family engagement and school support. No statistically significant differences were found in classroom practices, family engagement, or school support across educational stages, indicating that teachers shared similar professional experiences regardless of teaching level. However, item-level analysis identified important developmental priorities, including strengthening student motivation, enhancing family-school partnerships, improving student well-being monitoring, and expanding opportunities for teacher participation in school decision-making. Based on these findings, the Teacher Development Enhancement Framework (TDEF) was developed to provide stage-specific interventions for EYFS, Primary, and Secondary teachers. The framework offers school leaders and policymakers an evidence-based guide for designing targeted professional development initiatives that strengthen instructional practice, organizational support, and collaborative partnerships, ultimately contributing to sustainable teacher growth and improved educational quality in UAE schools.

Understanding the learning preferences of pre-service teachers is important for designing flexible and inclusive teacher education programmes. This study examined Honey and Mumford Learning Styles Questionnaire (LSQ) dimension scores and the resulting highest-scoring and tied maximum-score classifications among Level 100 pre-service teachers in Colleges of Education in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. It also examined whether these classifications were associated with gender, teaching-level specialisation, and programme family. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted. The accessible population comprised approximately 2,800 pre-service teachers across eight Colleges of Education, from which 1,496 respondents were included in the study. Data were collected using the 80-item Honey and Mumford LSQ, which assesses four learning-preference dimensions: Activist, Reflector, Theorist, and Pragmatist. For descriptive classification, the dimension with the highest observed score was identified for each respondent, while respondents with equal maximum scores on two or more dimensions were retained in a separate Tie category. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, chi-square tests, Cramér's V, and multinomial logistic regression. Tied maximum scores were observed for 44.5% of respondents. Among respondents with a unique highest-scoring dimension, Activist was the most frequent classification (28.7%), followed by Theorist (12.0%), Reflector (9.5%), and Pragmatist (5.3%). Highest-scoring classification was significantly associated with gender, χ 2 (4, N = 1,496) = 17.91, p = .001, Cramér's V = .109; teaching level, χ 2 (4, N = 1,496) = 41.76, p < .001, Cramér's V = .167; and programme family, χ 2 (12, N = 1,496) = 178.94, p < .001, Cramér's V = .200. The effect sizes were relatively small. Multinomial regression identified differences in selected outcome contrasts, particularly for teaching level and programme family, although several estimates had wide confidence intervals and should be interpreted cautiously. The findings demonstrate considerable variation in LSQ score patterns and show that a substantial proportion of respondents could not be assigned a unique highest-scoring dimension. These results support cautious use of learning-style classifications as descriptive indicators of reported preferences rather than as fixed learner types. Teacher education programmes should therefore emphasise varied pedagogical experiences incorporating active engagement, reflection, theoretical understanding, and practical application.

Objective Operating room nurses work long-term in high-intensity, high-risk environments and suffer from a high prevalence of occupational fatigue, which seriously affects their physical and mental health as well as patient safety. Based on the Job Demand-Control-Support (JDCS) model, this study aimed to examine the mediating role of perceived stress between the dimensions of the JDCS model and occupational fatigue—including acute fatigue, chronic fatigue, and inter-shift recovery—among operating room nurses. Methods This multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted from August to September 2026, enrolling 1,122 operating room nurses from 9 tertiary Grade-A hospitals in eastern, central, and western China. A general information questionnaire, the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) were administered. SPSS 25.0 was used for descriptive statistics, difference analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression; AMOS 21.0 was used to construct a structural equation model, and the bias-corrected Bootstrap method was employed to test mediating effects. Results The scores of acute fatigue, chronic fatigue, and inter-shift recovery among operating room nurses were 45.55 ± 18.77, 44.13 ± 17.89, and 56.27 ± 17.83, respectively, indicating an overall moderate level of occupational fatigue. The perceived stress score was 21.01 ± 5.24; job demand was 36.44 ± 4.80; job control was 71.54 ± 18.07; and social support was 24.02 ± 6.61. Hierarchical regression showed that, after controlling for demographic and work characteristics, job demand, job control, and social support remained independent correlates of all three outcomes (acute fatigue model R 2 = 0.460, chronic fatigue R 2 = 0.305, inter-shift recovery R 2 = 0.353). The structural equation model showed that job demand positively predicted perceived stress ( β = 0.182, p < 0.001), while job control ( β = −0.251, p = 0.033) and social support ( β = −0.168, p = 0.040) negatively predicted perceived stress. Perceived stress positively predicted acute fatigue ( β = 0.336, p < 0.001) and chronic fatigue ( β = 0.209, p < 0.001), and negatively predicted inter-shift recovery ( β = −0.134, p = 0.029). Bootstrap tests indicated that perceived stress played a significant partial mediating role between job demand, job control, and social support and the outcomes of acute fatigue, chronic fatigue, and inter-shift recovery, although the indirect effects were small in magnitude (proportion mediated 3.41–17.35%). Conclusion Occupational fatigue among operating room nurses in 9 tertiary Grade-A hospitals is at a moderate level, and inter-shift recovery needs improvement. Perceived stress acted as a mediating variable linking JDCS dimensions to occupational fatigue, although the mediating effects were modest in magnitude. Nursing managers can improve occupational fatigue and recovery among operating room nurses by reducing unreasonable job demands, enhancing job control, strengthening social support, and alleviating perceived stress.

This study aims to compare the motivation levels of male and female eighth-grade students during volleyball instruction at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Samarinda. The study employs a quantitative descriptive design with a comparative approach. The sample consisted of 61 students: 30 males and 31 females. A total sampling technique was used, meaning all members of the population meeting the research criteria were included in the sample. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire based on indicators of needs, persistence, drive, expectations, reinforcement, and goals. The instrument underwent validity and reliability testing prior to use. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and an independent samples t-test. The results showed an average motivation score of 134.13 for male students and 125.61 for female students, with a mean difference of 8.52. The independent samples t-test yielded a t-value of 2.992 (df = 59) and a significance value of 0.004 (p < 0.05). These findings can serve as a reference for physical education teachers in developing instructional strategies that are varied, inclusive, and responsive to students' characteristics and needs, thereby fostering increased learning motivation in volleyball lessons.

Teacher wellbeing has become an increasingly important concern in sustainable education systems because teachers’ professional experiences influence instructional quality, organizational resilience, and the long-term capacity of schools to maintain supportive learning environments. Contemporary perspectives on educational sustainability emphasize that schools are sustainable not only through academic effectiveness but also through their ability to foster participation, professional recognition, supportive relationships, and psychological resources among teachers. Within this perspective, shared instructional leadership can be considered an organizational resource, while teacher job satisfaction represents an important psychological resource contributing to the human foundations of socially sustainable schools. This study examined the relationship between shared instructional leadership and teacher job satisfaction among secondary school teachers in Northern Cyprus. A quantitative correlational research design was employed with 300 teachers working in public secondary schools during the 2024–2025 academic year. Data were collected using the Shared Instructional Leadership Scale and the Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and simple linear regression analysis were conducted to examine the relationship between shared instructional leadership and teacher job satisfaction. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between shared instructional leadership and overall teacher job satisfaction ( r = 0.580, p < 0.001). Within this perspective, shared instructional leadership is conceptualized as an organizational resource, while teacher job satisfaction represents a psychological indicator of teachers’ positive professional experiences. ( β = 0.580, p < 0.001), explaining 33.4% of the variance in teacher job satisfaction ( R 2 = 0.334). Significant positive relationships were also found between shared instructional leadership and several dimensions of job satisfaction, including management, achievement–respect–recognition, interpersonal relationships, and the nature of teaching work. The findings suggest that shared instructional leadership may contribute to socially sustainable schooling by strengthening teachers’ professional recognition, relational experiences, and psychological resources. Although social sustainability was not directly measured in this study, the findings highlight leadership practices and teacher satisfaction as important organizational and psychological conditions supporting sustainable educational environments. This study contributes to educational sustainability and leadership literature by emphasizing the human dimension of sustainable schools within the underrepresented context of Northern Cyprus.

رفاه معلمان به عنوان یکی از دغدغه‌های فزاینده در نظام‌های آموزشی پایدار مطرح شده است، زیرا تجارب حرفه‌ای معلمان بر کیفیت آموزش، تاب‌آوری سازمانی و ظرفیت بلندمدت مدارس برای حفظ محیط‌های یادگیری حمایتی تأثیرگذار است. دیدگاه‌های معاصر درباره پایداری آموزشی تأکید می‌کنند که مدارس نه تنها از طریق اثربخشی تحصیلی، بلکه از طریق توانایی خود در تقویت مشارکت، شناسایی حرفه‌ای، روابط حمایتی و منابع روان‌شناختی در میان معلمان پایدار می‌شوند. در این چارچوب، رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی به عنوان یک منبع سازمانی و رضایت شغلی معلمان به عنوان یک منبع روان‌شناختی مهم که به بنیان‌های انسانی مدارس اجتماعی پایدار کمک می‌کند، در نظر گرفته می‌شود. این پژوهش به بررسی رابطه بین رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و رضایت شغلی معلمان در میان معلمان دبیرستان‌های قبرس شمالی پرداخت. طرح پژوهش همبستگی کمی با مشارکت ۳۰۰ معلم شاغل در مدارس متوسطه دولتی در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵–۲۰۲۴ اجرا شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از مقیاس رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و مقیاس رضایت شغلی معلمان گردآوری شد. برای بررسی رابطه بین رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و رضایت شغلی معلمان از آمار توصیفی، تحلیل همبستگی پیرسون و تحلیل رگرسیون خطی ساده استفاده شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که بین رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و رضایت شغلی کلی معلمان رابطه مثبت معناداری وجود دارد (r = 0.580, p < 0.001). در این چارچوب، رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی به عنوان یک منبع سازمانی و رضایت شغلی معلمان به عنوان شاخص روان‌شناختی تجارب حرفه‌ای مثبت معلمان مفهوم‌سازی می‌شود (β = 0.580, p < 0.001) و ۳۳/۴ درصد از واریانس رضایت شغلی معلمان را تبیین می‌کند (R2 = 0.334). همچنین بین رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و چندین بعد رضایت شغلی از جمله مدیریت، دستاورد–احترام–شناسایی، روابط بین‌فردی و ماهیت کار تدریس، روابط مثبت معناداری مشاهده شد. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی می‌تواند با تقویت شناسایی حرفه‌ای، تجارب ارتباطی و منابع روان‌شناختی معلمان به پایداری اجتماعی مدارس کمک کند. اگرچه پایداری اجتماعی به طور مستقیم در این پژوهش سنجیده نشد، اما یافته‌ها بر اهمیت شیوه‌های رهبری و رضایت معلمان به عنوان شرایط سازمانی و روان‌شناختی مؤثر بر محیط‌های آموزشی پایدار تأکید می‌کند. این پژوهش با تأکید بر بعد انسانی مدارس پایدار در زمینه کمتر بررسی‌شده قبرس شمالی، به ادبیات پایداری آموزشی و رهبری کمک می‌کند.

This study examined teachers’ awareness, perceptions, and challenges during the first-year implementation of the Expanded Career Progression (ECP) System in South District 5, Cebu City Division, during School Year 2025–2026. Anchored on Diffusion of Innovations Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior, and Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, it employed a descriptive–correlational–comparative design involving 62 public elementary and secondary school teachers selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using an adopted structured questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation. Findings revealed high awareness of ECP objectives, qualification standards, and procedures, alongside favorable perceptions of fairness, merit recognition, motivation, and professional growth. However, respondents experienced moderate challenges related to documentary requirements, administrative procedures, workload, time constraints, and institutional support. Awareness and perceptions did not differ significantly across demographic groups, whereas challenges differed significantly according to years of service. Awareness was positively and significantly associated with perceptions, but neither awareness nor perceptions showed a significant relationship with implementation challenges under the study’s reported significance criteria. The study concluded that practical and administrative barriers remained despite teachers’ understanding and acceptance of the system. It recommended clearer guidelines, streamlined documentation, strengthened orientation, differentiated assistance, and an ECP Guidelines-Based Resource Toolkit for Teachers. The research aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4, Quality Education, through teacher professional development, and Goal 16, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, through transparent career progression processes. Its contribution to sustainability lies in supporting equitable advancement, consistent policy implementation, and strengthening institutional capacity for continuing teacher professional development.

این مطالعه به بررسی آگاهی، ادراک و چالش‌های معلمان در طول نخستین سال اجرای نظام توسعه‌یافته پیشرفت شغلی (ECP) در منطقه ۵ جنوبی، ناحیه آموزشی شهر سبو، در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵–۲۰۲۶ پرداخت. این پژوهش مبتنی بر نظریه انتشار نوآوری‌ها، نظریه رفتار برنامه‌ریزی‌شده و نظریه دو عاملی هرزبرگ بوده و از طرح توصیفی–همبستگی–مقایسه‌ای با مشارکت ۶۲ معلم مدارس ابتدایی و متوسطه دولتی که به روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌ای انتخاب شدند، استفاده کرده است. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه ساختاریافته اقتباس‌شده گردآوری و از طریق آمار توصیفی، تحلیل واریانس و همبستگی پیرسون تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها نشان داد که آگاهی نسبت به اهداف، استانداردهای صلاحیت و رویه‌های ECP در سطح بالایی قرار دارد و ادراکات نسبت به انصاف، شناسایی شایستگی، انگیزش و رشد حرفه‌ای نیز مطلوب بوده است. با این حال، پاسخ‌دهندگان با چالش‌های متوسطی در زمینه الزامات مستندسازی، رویه‌های اداری، حجم کار، محدودیت‌های زمانی و حمایت نهادی مواجه بودند. آگاهی و ادراکات در میان گروه‌های جمعیت‌شناختی تفاوت معناداری نداشت، در حالی که چالش‌ها بر اساس سال‌های خدمت تفاوت معناداری نشان دادند. آگاهی با ادراکات رابطه مثبت و معناداری داشت، اما هیچ‌یک از آگاهی یا ادراکات با چالش‌های اجرای نظام، طبق معیارهای معناداری گزارش‌شده در مطالعه، رابطه معناداری نشان ندادند. مطالعه نتیجه گرفت که علی‌رغم درک و پذیرش معلمان از نظام، موانع عملی و اداری همچنان باقی مانده است. توصیه شد که دستورالعمل‌های شفاف‌تر، مستندسازی ساده‌شده، تقویت آشنایی، حمایت‌های متمایز و جعبه‌ابزار منابع مبتنی بر دستورالعمل‌های ECP برای معلمان فراهم شود. این پژوهش با هدف توسعه پایدار ۴ (آموزش با کیفیت) از طریق توسعه حرفه‌ای معلمان و هدف ۱۶ (صلح، عدالت و نهادهای قوی) از طریق فرآیندهای شفاف پیشرفت شغلی همسو است. سهم آن در پایداری، حمایت از پیشرفت عادلانه، اجرای سیاست‌های منسجم و تقویت ظرفیت نهادی برای توسعه حرفه‌ای مستمر معلمان است.

This study aims to determine whether the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Canva has an effect on the IPAS learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SD Muhammadiyah 2 Kota Sorong. The study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method and a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The subjects were 23 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through learning outcome tests in the form of pretests and posttests and an observation sheet of the implementation of the PBL model assisted by Canva. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and a Paired Sample t-test. The results showed that the mean pretest score was 45.65, while the mean posttest score was 83.48. The implementation of the five PBL stages obtained a score of 100% and was categorized as very good. The Shapiro-Wilk test showed that the pretest and posttest data were normally distributed. The Paired Sample t-test resulted in t = -15.062, df = 22, and Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.001. Because the significance value was less than 0.05, H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. These findings indicate a significant difference between students' IPAS learning outcomes before and after the implementation of PBL assisted by Canva. The increase in learning outcomes was accompanied by active student involvement in identifying problems, discussing, completing LKPD, and presenting the results of group work.

This community service program aims to strengthen teachers' capacity to integrate Islamic values ​​and noble character into vocational education at SMK Babussalam Teluk Pakedai. Research Gap: While Islamic-based character education has been widely discussed, community service programs that systematically integrate Islamic moral values ​​into skill-based vocational subjects and daily religious practices remain limited, particularly in general (non-religious) vocational schools. Novelty: This program develops an integrative model linking vocational competence with Islamic values—specifically ṣidiq (honesty), amānah (responsibility), ta‘āwun (cooperation), and itqan (professionalism)—supported by the teachers' religious backgrounds and the surrounding community environment. Methods: A participatory approach was employed through seminars, workshops, discussions, and implementation mentoring involving 20 teachers. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and a paired-samples t-test. Results: The mean score increased from 60.95 to 86.80, representing a gain of 25.85 points; the data were normally distributed (p = 0.551), and the difference between the pre-test and post-test was highly significant (t = −20.36; p < 0.001). Significance: The program demonstrates that integrating Islamic values ​​into vocational instruction can enhance teachers' pedagogical competence, religious character, and professional ethics, while providing a replicable model for developing adaptive, professional, and morally grounded vocational education in the Society 5.0 era..

این برنامه خدمات اجتماعی با هدف تقویت توانمندی معلمان در ادغام ارزش‌های اسلامی و اخلاق نیکو در آموزش فنی‌وحرفه‌ای در دبیرستان فنی‌وحرفه‌ای Babussalam Teluk Pakedai اجرا می‌شود. شکاف پژوهشی: اگرچه آموزش مبتنی بر شخصیت اسلامی به طور گسترده مورد بحث قرار گرفته است، اما برنامه‌های خدمات اجتماعی که به طور نظام‌مند ارزش‌های اخلاقی اسلامی را در دروس مهارتی و حرفه‌ای و همچنین در اعمال دینی روزمره ادغام می‌کنند، به ویژه در مدارس فنی‌وحرفه‌ای عمومی (غیرمذهبی)، همچنان محدود هستند. نوآوری: این برنامه یک مدل تلفیقی توسعه می‌دهد که شایستگی‌های فنی‌وحرفه‌ای را با ارزش‌های اسلامی—به طور خاص صدق (راستگویی)، امانت (مسئولیت‌پذیری)، تعاون (همکاری) و اتقان (حرفه‌ای‌گری)—در پیوند با پیشینه دینی معلمان و محیط اجتماعی پیرامون آن‌ها، مرتبط می‌سازد. روش‌ها: رویکرد مشارکتی از طریق برگزاری سمینارها، کارگاه‌ها، بحث‌ها و راهنمایی در اجرای برنامه با مشارکت ۲۰ معلم به کار گرفته شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه ۲۰ ماده‌ای بر اساس مقیاس لیکرت گردآوری و با آمار توصیفی، آزمون نرمالیتی Shapiro–Wilk و آزمون t زوجی تحلیل شدند. نتایج: میانگین نمره از ۶۰٫۹۵ به ۸۶٫۸۰ افزایش یافت که نشان‌دهنده افزایش ۲۵٫۸۵ واحدی است؛ داده‌ها توزیع نرمال داشتند (p = ۰٫۵۵۱) و تفاوت بین پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون بسیار معنادار بود (t = −۲۰٫۳۶؛ p < ۰٫۰۰۱). اهمیت: این برنامه نشان می‌دهد که ادغام ارزش‌های اسلامی در آموزش فنی‌وحرفه‌ای می‌تواند شایستگی آموزشی، منش دینی و اخلاق حرفه‌ای معلمان را ارتقا دهد و در عین حال مدلی قابل تکرار برای توسعه آموزش فنی‌وحرفه‌ای سازگار، حرفه‌ای و مبتنی بر اخلاق در عصر جامعه ۵٫۰ ارائه کند.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Learning Starts With A Question (LSQ) learning method assisted by audio-visual media on the cognitive learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in IPAS at SDN 1 Lendang Belo. The study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted from 3 to 24 August 2026 with 23 fourth-grade students selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation. The instrument consisted of a 13-item multiple-choice test and an observation sheet. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, homogeneity test, and paired-samples t-test with SPSS 21. The mean score increased from 63.20 on the pretest to 64.88 on the posttest, an increase of 1.68 points. However, the paired-samples t-test produced a significance value of 0.661 (p > 0.05), with t = -0.445 and df = 22. Thus, the increase was not statistically significant. The findings indicate that the implementation of LSQ assisted by audio-visual media produced a small descriptive increase, but did not provide sufficient statistical evidence of a significant effect on students’ cognitive learning outcomes. The method needs to be implemented gradually and consistently, with appropriate guidance and audio-visual materials suited to students’ characteristics.

این پژوهش با هدف تعیین اثربخشی روش یادگیری «یادگیری با پرسش آغاز می‌شود» (Learning Starts With A Question؛ LSQ) با کمک رسانه‌های صوتی‌تصویری بر پیامدهای یادگیری شناختی دانش‌آموزان پایه چهارم در درس علوم تجربی (IPAS) در دبستان SDN 1 Lendang Belo انجام شد. این مطالعه با رویکرد کمی و با طرح پیش‌آزمایشی یک‌گروهی با پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون صورت گرفت. پژوهش در بازه زمانی ۳ تا ۲۴ اوت ۲۰۲۶ با حضور ۲۳ دانش‌آموز پایه چهارم که به روش نمونه‌گیری اشباع انتخاب شدند، انجام شد. داده‌ها از طریق مشاهده، آزمون و مستندسازی گردآوری گردید. ابزار پژوهش شامل یک آزمون چندگزینه‌ای ۱۳ سؤالی و یک برگه مشاهده بود. داده‌ها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی، آزمون نرمالیتی Shapiro-Wilk، آزمون همگنی و آزمون t زوجی با نرم‌افزار SPSS 21 تحلیل شدند. میانگین نمره از 63.20 در پیش‌آزمون به 64.88 در پس‌آزمون افزایش یافت که معادل 1.68 امتیاز بود. با این حال، آزمون t زوجی مقدار معناداری 0.661 (p > 0.05) با t = -0.445 و df = 22 را نشان داد. بنابراین، این افزایش از نظر آماری معنادار نبود. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد اجرای روش LSQ با کمک رسانه‌های صوتی‌تصویری افزایش توصیفی اندکی ایجاد کرد، اما شواهد آماری کافی برای اثربخشی معنادار بر پیامدهای یادگیری شناختی دانش‌آموزان فراهم نکرد. اجرای تدریجی و مستمر این روش، همراه با راهنمایی مناسب و استفاده از مواد صوتی‌تصویری متناسب با ویژگی‌های دانش‌آموزان توصیه می‌شود.

This study aimed to determine the effect of Magnetic Maze learning media on the symbolic thinking ability and fine motor skills of children aged 5–6 years at TK Negeri Pembina Campagaya. A quantitative quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design was used. The sample consisted of 16 children selected through purposive sampling, with 8 children in each group. Data were collected through tests, observations, and documentation. The experimental group received six Magnetic Maze treatments, while the control group used number puzzles. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank, and Mann-Whitney U tests with SPSS 26. The experimental group mean increased from 13.63 to 30.50 for symbolic thinking and from 13.88 to 30.25 for fine motor skills. Wilcoxon significance was 0.012 for both variables, while posttest Mann-Whitney significance was 0.035 and 0.031. Thus, Magnetic Maze had a significant effect on both abilities.

Effective teaching of Basic Science and Technology in secondary schools in Osun West Senatorial District is dependent on the availability and use of instructional materials. However, delivery of Basic Science and Technology lessons in schools in Osun West still largely archaic, evident through scare use of audio-visual and print resources. This study therefore, examined the impact of instructional materials on the teaching of Basic Science and Technology (BST) in public secondary schools in Osun West Senatorial District, Osun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test design. The population comprised 8,910 JSS II students in public junior secondary schools in Osun West Senatorial District. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 891 students through purposive, stratified random, proportionate-to-size and simple random sampling techniques respectively. Data was collected with a questionnaire titled “Utilization of Instructional Materials in Basic Science and Technology” (UIMBST) and a 30-item Basic Science and Technology achievement test. The study was guided by one research question and one hypothesis, while the research question was analysed with descriptive statistics (means), the hypothesis on the other hand was tested with a paired-samples t-test. Findings showed that the use of instruction materials by Basic Science and Technology teachers was limited with mean average figure of 2.32. Based on the findings, it was recommended that teachers use a variety of instructional materials; also, government and school administrators should provide and maintain resources such as video, audio, audio-visual, laboratory and print.

آموزش مؤثر علوم پایه و فناوری در مدارس متوسطه منطقه سناتوری اوسن غربی وابسته به دسترسی و استفاده از مواد آموزشی است. با این حال، ارائه دروس علوم پایه و فناوری در مدارس این منطقه همچنان عمدتاً به شیوه‌های سنتی انجام می‌شود که این امر از طریق استفاده محدود از منابع صوتی‌تصویری و چاپی مشهود است. بنابراین، این پژوهش تأثیر مواد آموزشی بر آموزش علوم پایه و فناوری (BST) در مدارس متوسطه دولتی منطقه سناتوری اوسن غربی، ایالت اوسن، نیجریه را بررسی کرد. این مطالعه از طرح شبه‌آزمایشی پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون استفاده نمود. جامعه آماری شامل ۸۹۱۰ دانش‌آموز پایه دوم متوسطه اول در مدارس دولتی منطقه سناتوری اوسن غربی بود. نمونه‌گیری چندمرحله‌ای به کار گرفته شد و ۸۹۱ دانش‌آموز از طریق روش‌های هدفمند، تصادفی طبقه‌ای، متناسب با حجم و تصادفی ساده انتخاب شدند. داده‌ها با پرسشنامه‌ای با عنوان «استفاده از مواد آموزشی در علوم پایه و فناوری» (UIMBST) و یک آزمون پیشرفت ۳۰ سؤالی علوم پایه و فناوری گردآوری شد. پژوهش با یک سؤال پژوهشی و یک فرضیه هدایت شد؛ سؤال پژوهشی با آمار توصیفی (میانگین‌ها) تحلیل شد و فرضیه با آزمون t زوجی بررسی گردید. یافته‌ها نشان داد که استفاده معلمان علوم پایه و فناوری از مواد آموزشی محدود بوده و میانگین آن ۲٫۳۲ گزارش شد. بر اساس یافته‌ها، توصیه شد که معلمان از انواع مختلف مواد آموزشی استفاده کنند؛ همچنین دولت و مدیران مدارس باید منابعی مانند ویدئو، صوت، صوتی‌تصویری، آزمایشگاهی و چاپی را فراهم و نگهداری نمایند.

This study examined how governance modalities shape institutional performance at The Polytechnic of Ibadan, Nigeria, amid governance deficiency and stakeholder disaffection in post-colonial technical education. Grounded in Fiedler's Contingency Theory, it addressed the empirical gap on decision-making effectiveness within this specific institutional context. A descriptive survey design was adopted as an institutional case study. The population comprised 305 administrative and academic staff stratified into top-level administrators (n = 25), middle-level managers (n = 68), and operational-level staff (n = 212). A sample of 173 respondents was selected via stratified random sampling using Yamane's formula. Data were collected through a researcher-designed questionnaire measuring participatory, consultative, directive, and digital-enabled decision-making alongside administrative effectiveness dimensions. The instrument demonstrated strong reliability (α = 0.87 and 0.84). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and one-way ANOVA were applied using SPSS v.26 at p ≤ 0.05. Findings revealed strong positive associations between participatory and consultative modalities (r = 0.72, p < 0.01), inverse relationships for directive structures (r = −0.34 to −0.28, p < 0.01–0.05), and moderate technological alignment (r = 0.58–0.61, p < 0.01). Regression confirmed participatory (β = 0.298), consultative (β = 0.251), and digital (β = 0.187) mechanisms as positive predictors, with directive governance (β = −0.142) as a negative predictor, explaining 55% of the variance (R² = 0.55, F = 24.87, p < 0.001). It recommends digital literacy training for administrators, formal feedback loops, evidence-based benchmarking, integrated change management with technology deployment, and participatory governance reforms to redress hierarchical asymmetries.

این پژوهش به بررسی چگونگی تأثیر شیوه‌های حکمرانی بر عملکرد نهادی در پلی‌تکنیک ایبادان، نیجریه، در شرایط کمبود حکمرانی و نارضایتی ذینفعان در آموزش فنی پس از استعمار می‌پردازد. این مطالعه مبتنی بر نظریه اقتضایی فیدلر بوده و به خلأ تجربی در زمینه اثربخشی تصمیم‌گیری در این بستر نهادی خاص می‌پردازد. طرح پژوهش توصیفی-پیمایشی به عنوان مطالعه موردی نهادی اتخاذ شد. جامعه آماری شامل ۳۰۵ نفر از کارکنان اداری و آموزشی بود که به سه طبقه مدیران عالی‌رتبه (n = 25)، مدیران میان‌رده (n = 68) و کارکنان عملیاتی (n = 212) تقسیم شدند. نمونه‌ای متشکل از ۱۷۳ نفر با استفاده از نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌ای و فرمول یامانه انتخاب شد. داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه محقق‌ساخته که شیوه‌های تصمیم‌گیری مشارکتی، مشورتی، دستوری و مبتنی بر فناوری دیجیتال را در کنار ابعاد اثربخشی اداری اندازه‌گیری می‌کرد، گردآوری شد. ابزار پژوهش از پایایی بالایی برخوردار بود (α = 0.87 و 0.84). برای تحلیل داده‌ها از آمار توصیفی، همبستگی پیرسون، رگرسیون چندگانه و تحلیل واریانس یک‌طرفه با استفاده از نرم‌افزار SPSS نسخه ۲۶ در سطح معناداری p ≤ 0.05 استفاده شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که بین شیوه‌های مشارکتی و مشورتی ارتباط مثبت قوی وجود دارد (r = 0.72, p < 0.01)، ساختارهای دستوری رابطه معکوس دارند (r = −0.34 تا −0.28, p < 0.01–0.05) و همسویی فناورانه در حد متوسط است (r = 0.58–0.61, p < 0.01). نتایج رگرسیون نشان داد که سازوکارهای مشارکتی (β = 0.298)، مشورتی (β = 0.251) و دیجیتال (β = 0.187) پیش‌بین‌های مثبت و حکمرانی دستوری (β = −0.142) پیش‌بین منفی عملکرد نهادی هستند و ۵۵٪ از واریانس را تبیین می‌کنند (R² = 0.55, F = 24.87, p < 0.001). بر اساس نتایج، آموزش سواد دیجیتال برای مدیران، ایجاد حلقه‌های بازخورد رسمی، الگوبرداری مبتنی بر شواهد، مدیریت تغییر یکپارچه با استقرار فناوری و اصلاحات حکمرانی مشارکتی برای رفع عدم تقارن سلسله‌مراتبی توصیه می‌شود.

Abstract The Baka people, an indigenous forest community in Cameroon's East Region, hold a distinct body of social practices, ecological knowledge, and cultural values shaped by their historical relationship with the forest environment. This study examines the influence of social practices of the Baka people on the implementation of the geography curriculum in schools within the East Region of Cameroon. The study adopted a mixed-methods research design, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The target population comprised of Geography teachers and students especially Baka students enrolled in secondary schools in selected Baka community of the East region in the study area. Two instruments were used to collect data which were questionnaires and interview guides. Quantitative data obtained from the questionnaires were coded and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics included frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations. These statistics were used to describe the prevalence of particular Baka social practices and participants' perceptions of their influence on Geography curriculum implementation. Inferential analysis was used to examine relationships between selected dimensions of Baka social practices and indicators of curriculum implementation. The findings indicate that Baka social practices have significant implications for curriculum implementation, although their influence should not be understood exclusively in negative terms. Baka livelihood practices, language, cultural values, traditional learning processes and Indigenous environmental knowledge interact with formal schooling in complex ways. Some practices may contribute to irregular attendance or difficulties in adapting to conventional classroom routines, while others provide valuable knowledge and experiences that can enrich Geography education. The study contributes to broader debates on curriculum relevance, indigenous knowledge integration, and educational equity for marginalized populations in Cameroon, and offers recommendations for curriculum policy and teacher training that better reflect the sociocultural realities of indigenous learners. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that Geography teachers should incorporate local examples into classroom instruction. Lessons on ecosystems, natural resources, agriculture, environmental conservation, settlement and human–environment relationships should make use of geographical features and activities familiar to Baka learners. Teacher-training institutions should strengthen preparation in culturally responsive pedagogy. Curriculum developers should provide greater flexibility for the inclusion of Indigenous and local knowledge. schools should make greater use of experiential learning. Keywords Baka people, social practices, curriculum implementation, geography education, indigenous knowledge, East Region Cameroon

چکیده مردم Baka، جامعه‌ای بومی و جنگل‌نشین در منطقه شرق کامرون، دارای مجموعه‌ای متمایز از کنش‌های اجتماعی، دانش بوم‌شناختی و ارزش‌های فرهنگی هستند که توسط رابطه تاریخی آن‌ها با محیط جنگل شکل گرفته است. این پژوهش به بررسی تأثیر کنش‌های اجتماعی مردم Baka بر اجرای برنامهٔ درسی جغرافیا در مدارس منطقه شرق کامرون می‌پردازد. این مطالعه از طرح پژوهش آمیخته، با ترکیب رویکردهای کمی و کیفی، بهره گرفته است. جامعه هدف شامل دبیران جغرافیا و دانش‌آموزان، به ویژه دانش‌آموزان Baka ثبت‌نام‌شده در مدارس متوسطه منتخب جامعه Baka در منطقه مورد مطالعه بوده است. برای گردآوری داده‌ها از دو ابزار پرسشنامه و راهنمای مصاحبه استفاده شد. داده‌های کمی به‌دست‌آمده از پرسشنامه‌ها کدگذاری و با استفاده از آمار توصیفی و استنباطی تحلیل شدند. آمار توصیفی شامل فراوانی، درصد، میانگین و انحراف معیار بود. این آمار برای توصیف شیوع کنش‌های اجتماعی خاص Baka و ادراک شرکت‌کنندگان از تأثیر آن‌ها بر اجرای برنامهٔ درسی جغرافیا به‌کار رفت. تحلیل استنباطی برای بررسی روابط میان ابعاد منتخب کنش‌های اجتماعی Baka و شاخص‌های اجرای برنامهٔ درسی استفاده شد. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که کنش‌های اجتماعی Baka پیامدهای معناداری برای اجرای برنامهٔ درسی دارند، هرچند تأثیر آن‌ها نباید صرفاً منفی تلقی شود. شیوه‌های معیشتی، زبان، ارزش‌های فرهنگی، فرایندهای یادگیری سنتی و دانش بومی محیط‌زیستی Baka به‌شیوه‌هایی پیچیده با آموزش رسمی تعامل دارند. برخی از این کنش‌ها ممکن است به حضور نامنظم یا دشواری در سازگاری با روال‌های کلاسیک منجر شود، در حالی که برخی دیگر دانش و تجربیات ارزشمندی را فراهم می‌کنند که می‌تواند آموزش جغرافیا را غنی سازد. این پژوهش به مباحث گسترده‌تر دربارهٔ ارتباط برنامهٔ درسی، ادغام دانش بومی و عدالت آموزشی برای جمعیت‌های به‌حاشیه‌رانده‌شده در کامرون کمک می‌کند و پیشنهادهایی برای سیاست‌گذاری برنامهٔ درسی و آموزش معلمان ارائه می‌دهد که بازتاب‌دهنده واقعیت‌های اجتماعی‌فرهنگی فراگیران بومی باشد. بر اساس یافته‌ها، پژوهشگر توصیه می‌کند که دبیران جغرافیا نمونه‌های محلی را در آموزش کلاس درس بگنجانند. درس‌هایی دربارهٔ اکوسیستم‌ها، منابع طبیعی، کشاورزی، حفاظت محیط‌زیست، سکونتگاه و روابط انسان و محیط باید از ویژگی‌ها و فعالیت‌های جغرافیایی آشنا برای فراگیران Baka بهره گیرند. مؤسسات تربیت معلم باید آمادگی در زمینهٔ آموزش پاسخگو به فرهنگ را تقویت کنند. تدوین‌کنندگان برنامهٔ درسی باید انعطاف‌پذیری بیشتری برای گنجاندن دانش بومی و محلی فراهم آورند. مدارس باید از یادگیری تجربی بیشتر بهره ببرند.

This descriptive and cross-sectional study aimed to determine the job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and burnout levels of radiology technicians working in different hospitals in Türkiye, to examine the relationships between these variables, and to evaluate the sociodemographic, occupational, and psychosocial factors associated with burnout. The research was conducted online using Google Forms between February 10 and May 26, 2025. A total of 619 radiology technicians participated in the study. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form, the Job Satisfaction Scale, the Life Satisfaction Scale, and the Burnout Scale Short Form. Descriptive statistics, the independent-samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Tukey HSD post hoc test, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data. Effect sizes were calculated using Cohen’s d for two-group comparisons and eta squared (η²) for comparisons involving more than two groups. Because burnout was the primary dependent variable of the study, multivariate analysis was performed for burnoutonly; job satisfaction and life satisfaction were included in the multivariate model as explanatory variables. The participants’ mean scores for job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and burnout were 3.18 ± 0.71, 18.89 ± 6.05, and 3.66 ± 1.12, respectively. Significant differences were found in some scale scores by gender, education level, income level, work arrangement, and work unit (p < 0.05). A moderate positive correlation was found between job satisfaction and life satisfaction (r = 0.529, p < 0.001), whereas moderate negative correlations were found between burnout and job satisfaction (r = -0.308, p < 0.001) and between burnout and life satisfaction (r = -0.473, p < 0.001). In the regression analysis, the model explained 26% of the variance in burnout (R² = 0.260, p < 0.001). Life satisfaction and female gender were significantly associated with burnout (p < 0.001), while other variables were not significant. These findings suggest that burnout among radiology technicians should be considered in relation to sociodemographic, occupational, and psychosocial factors, although life satisfaction remained the only psychosocial variable independently associated with burnout in the multivariable analysis.

این مطالعه توصیفی و مقطعی با هدف تعیین میزان رضایت شغلی، رضایت از زندگی و سطوح فرسودگی شغلی تکنسین‌های رادیولوژی شاغل در بیمارستان‌های مختلف ترکیه، بررسی روابط بین این متغیرها و ارزیابی عوامل جمعیت‌شناختی، شغلی و روانی‌اجتماعی مرتبط با فرسودگی شغلی انجام شد. پژوهش به صورت آنلاین و با استفاده از Google Forms در بازه زمانی ۱۰ فوریه تا ۲۶ مه ۲۰۲۵ انجام گرفت. در مجموع ۶۱۹ تکنسین رادیولوژی در این مطالعه شرکت کردند. داده‌ها با استفاده از فرم اطلاعات جمعیت‌شناختی، مقیاس رضایت شغلی، مقیاس رضایت از زندگی و فرم کوتاه مقیاس فرسودگی شغلی جمع‌آوری شد. برای تحلیل داده‌ها از آمار توصیفی، آزمون t مستقل، تحلیل واریانس یک‌طرفه، آزمون پس از hoc Tukey HSD، همبستگی پیرسون و رگرسیون خطی چندگانه استفاده گردید. اندازه اثر برای مقایسه‌های دو گروهی با استفاده از d کوهن و برای مقایسه‌های بیش از دو گروه با مجذور اتا (η²) محاسبه شد. از آنجا که فرسودگی شغلی متغیر وابسته اصلی پژوهش بود، تحلیل چندمتغیره فقط برای فرسودگی شغلی انجام شد؛ رضایت شغلی و رضایت از زندگی به عنوان متغیرهای تبیینی در مدل چندمتغیره وارد شدند. میانگین نمرات شرکت‌کنندگان برای رضایت شغلی، رضایت از زندگی و فرسودگی شغلی به ترتیب ۳.۱۸ ± ۰.۷۱، ۱۸.۸۹ ± ۶.۰۵ و ۳.۶۶ ± ۱.۱۲ بود. تفاوت معناداری در برخی نمرات مقیاس بر اساس جنسیت، سطح تحصیلات، سطح درآمد، نوع شیفت کاری و واحد کاری مشاهده شد (p < 0.05). همبستگی مثبت متوسطی بین رضایت شغلی و رضایت از زندگی (r = 0.529, p < 0.001) و همبستگی منفی متوسطی بین فرسودگی شغلی و رضایت شغلی (r = -0.308, p < 0.001) و بین فرسودگی شغلی و رضایت از زندگی (r = -0.473, p < 0.001) یافت شد. در تحلیل رگرسیون، مدل ۲۶٪ از واریانس فرسودگی شغلی را تبیین کرد (R² = 0.260, p < 0.001). رضایت از زندگی و جنسیت زن به طور معناداری با فرسودگی شغلی مرتبط بودند (p < 0.001)، در حالی که سایر متغیرها معنادار نبودند. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که فرسودگی شغلی در میان تکنسین‌های رادیولوژی باید در ارتباط با عوامل جمعیت‌شناختی، شغلی و روانی‌اجتماعی مورد توجه قرار گیرد، هرچند رضایت از زندگی تنها متغیر روانی‌اجتماعی بود که در تحلیل چندمتغیره به طور مستقل با فرسودگی شغلی ارتباط داشت.

Learning responsibility is an essential character that needs to be instilled in students from elementary school. However, based on preliminary observations at SD Negeri Sawahlega, students were still found to lack discipline in completing assignments, not optimally utilize study time, and not consistently demonstrate learning responsibility. This study aims to analyze the influence of reflective-based smartboard media on the formation of students' learning responsibility character in Islamic Religious Education subjects. This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The research population was 34 fifth-grade students, with the sampling technique using total sampling. Data collection techniques were carried out through questionnaires, observation, and documentation. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and Spearman's Rank Correlation. The results showed that the use of reflective-based smartboard media was in the high category (67.6%), while students' learning responsibility character was in the moderate to high category (64.7% moderate, 32.4% high). The Spearman correlation test results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.312 with a significance value of 0.073 (> 0.05), indicating a low positive relationship but not statistically significant. The conclusion of this study indicates that although there is a positive relationship between the use of reflective-based smartboard media and students' learning responsibility character, this relationship is not statistically significant. The implication of this research is that the use of reflective-based smartboard media has not been proven to provide a significant influence on the formation of students' learning responsibility character, so other factors such as habituation, teacher example, and family support also need to be considered in strengthening student character.

مسئولیت‌پذیری در یادگیری یکی از ویژگی‌های اساسی است که باید از دوره ابتدایی در دانش‌آموزان نهادینه شود. با این حال، بر اساس مشاهدات اولیه در دبستان دولتی Sawahlega، مشاهده شد که دانش‌آموزان هنوز در انجام تکالیف خود نظم کافی ندارند، از زمان مطالعه به طور بهینه استفاده نمی‌کنند و به طور مستمر مسئولیت‌پذیری در یادگیری را نشان نمی‌دهند. هدف این پژوهش تحلیل تأثیر رسانه هوشمند مبتنی بر بازتاب بر شکل‌گیری ویژگی مسئولیت‌پذیری دانش‌آموزان در درس آموزش دینی اسلامی است. این پژوهش با رویکرد کمی و روش همبستگی انجام شده است. جامعه آماری پژوهش شامل ۳۴ دانش‌آموز پایه پنجم بوده و روش نمونه‌گیری به صورت سرشماری کل انجام شده است. داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه، مشاهده و مستندسازی گردآوری شده‌اند. تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی و همبستگی رتبه‌ای اسپیرمن انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد که میزان استفاده از رسانه هوشمند مبتنی بر بازتاب در سطح بالا (۶۷/۶٪) قرار دارد، در حالی که ویژگی مسئولیت‌پذیری دانش‌آموزان در یادگیری در سطح متوسط تا بالا (۶۴/۷٪ متوسط، ۳۲/۴٪ بالا) قرار داشت. نتایج آزمون همبستگی اسپیرمن ضریب همبستگی ۰/۳۱۲ با مقدار معناداری ۰/۰۷۳ (> ۰/۰۵) را نشان داد که بیانگر رابطه مثبت ضعیف اما از نظر آماری غیرمعنادار است. نتیجه این پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که اگرچه بین استفاده از رسانه هوشمند مبتنی بر بازتاب و ویژگی مسئولیت‌پذیری دانش‌آموزان در یادگیری رابطه مثبت وجود دارد، اما این رابطه از نظر آماری معنادار نیست. دلالت این پژوهش آن است که استفاده از رسانه هوشمند مبتنی بر بازتاب تأثیر معناداری بر شکل‌گیری ویژگی مسئولیت‌پذیری دانش‌آموزان در یادگیری نداشته و بنابراین عوامل دیگری همچون عادت‌دهی، الگو بودن معلم و حمایت خانواده نیز باید در تقویت ویژگی‌های شخصیتی دانش‌آموزان مورد توجه قرار گیرند.

This study was motivated by the finding that some students' learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) had not yet met the Learning Objective Achievement Criteria, suspected to be influenced by students' emotional, intellectual, and spiritual intelligence. This study aims to measure the contribution of these three variables, partially and simultaneously, to PAI learning outcomes at SMP Negeri 7 Bukittinggi. A quantitative correlational approach with an ex post facto deSign was used on a population of 448 grade VII and VIII students; a sample of 211 was determined using Slovin's formula at a 5% margin of error through proportional random sampling, and 210 valid questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression with SPSS 25. Results show emotional intelligence contributes 38.2% (t = 11.332; Sig. = 0.001), intellectual intelligence 37.1% (t = 11.069; Sig. = 0.001), and spiritual intelligence 24.2% (t = 8.154; Sig. = 0.001) to PAI learning outcomes. Simultaneously, the three variables contribute 58.0%, while the remaining 42.0% is explained by other factors. These findings imply that PAI instruction should strengthen students' emotional and spiritual intelligence, not only cognitive aspects, through habituation of Islamic values, character building, and motivation reinforcement. Abstrak Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh masih ditemukannya hasil belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) sebagian siswa yang belum mencapai Kriteria Ketercapaian Tujuan Pembelajaran (KKTP), diduga dipengaruhi oleh kecerdasan emosional, intelektual, dan spiritual peserta didik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengukur besarnya kontribusi ketiga variabel tersebut, secara parsial maupun simultan, terhadap hasil belajar PAI siswa SMP Negeri 7 Bukittinggi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional dengan desain ex post facto pada populasi 448 siswa kelas VII dan VIII; sampel 211 siswa ditentukan dengan rumus Slovin pada taraf kesalahan 5% melalui proportional random sampling, dan 210 kuesioner valid dianalisis. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket dan studi dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji prasyarat, regresi linear sederhana, dan regresi linear berganda berbantuan SPSS versi 25. Hasil menunjukkan kecerdasan emosional berkontribusi 38,2% (t = 11,332; Sig. = 0,001), kecerdasan intelektual 37,1% (t = 11,069; Sig. = 0,001), dan kecerdasan spiritual 24,2% (t = 8,154; Sig. = 0,001) terhadap hasil belajar PAI. Secara simultan, ketiga variabel berkontribusi 58,0%, sedangkan 42,0% sisanya dipengaruhi faktor lain. Temuan ini mengimplikasikan pentingnya pembelajaran PAI yang tidak hanya berorientasi kognitif, tetapi juga memperkuat kecerdasan emosional dan spiritual siswa melalui pembiasaan nilai keislaman, pembentukan karakter, dan penguatan motivasi belajar.

این مطالعه با توجه به این یافته انجام شده است که نتایج یادگیری برخی از دانش‌آموزان در آموزش دینی اسلامی (PAI) هنوز به معیارهای تحقق اهداف یادگیری نرسیده است و گمان می‌رود که این امر تحت تأثیر هوش هیجانی، عقلانی و معنوی دانش‌آموزان باشد. هدف این پژوهش سنجش میزان سهم هر یک از این سه متغیر، به صورت جداگانه و همزمان، در نتایج یادگیری PAI در دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۷ بوکیتینگی است. این مطالعه با رویکرد همبستگی کمی و طرح ex post facto بر روی جامعه‌ای متشکل از ۴۴۸ دانش‌آموز پایه هفتم و هشتم انجام شد؛ نمونه‌ای متشکل از ۲۱۱ نفر با استفاده از فرمول اسلووین و با خطای ۵٪ از طریق نمونه‌گیری تصادفی نسبتی تعیین شد و ۲۱۰ پرسشنامه معتبر با استفاده از آمار توصیفی، آزمون‌های فرض کلاسیک، رگرسیون خطی ساده و رگرسیون خطی چندگانه با نرم‌افزار SPSS نسخه ۲۵ تحلیل گردید. نتایج نشان داد که هوش هیجانی ۳۸٫۲٪ (t = 11.332؛ Sig. = 0.001)، هوش عقلانی ۳۷٫۱٪ (t = 11.069؛ Sig. = 0.001) و هوش معنوی ۲۴٫۲٪ (t = 8.154؛ Sig. = 0.001) در نتایج یادگیری PAI سهم دارند. به طور همزمان، این سه متغیر ۵۸٫۰٪ سهم دارند و ۴۲٫۰٪ باقیمانده توسط عوامل دیگر تبیین می‌شود. این یافته‌ها دلالت بر آن دارد که آموزش PAI باید علاوه بر جنبه‌های شناختی، به تقویت هوش هیجانی و معنوی دانش‌آموزان از طریق نهادینه‌سازی ارزش‌های اسلامی، تقویت شخصیت و افزایش انگیزه یادگیری بپردازد.

This study analyzes the impact of implementing a deep learning-based flipped classroom model on Fiqh madrasah students' learning outcomes in madrasah examinations, focusing on developing contextual and meaningful learning. The study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects consisted of 70 students divided into a group using the deep learning-based flipped classroom model and a group receiving conventional instruction. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, observation, and documentation. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, the N-Gain test, and the independent-samples t-test, after confirming normality and homogeneity assumptions. The results indicate a significant difference in learning outcomes between the deep learning-based flipped classroom group and the conventional group, with a significance value of 0.031 (<0.05). The experimental group achieved a mean posttest score of 87.65 with an N-Gain of 0.64, whereas the conventional group obtained a mean of 82.67 with an N-Gain of 0.54. The study's implications suggest that the deep learning-based flipped classroom model serves as an alternative instructional strategy for Fiqh that can enhance student engagement, strengthen conceptual understanding, and support the implementation of innovative learning practices in madrasah.

این پژوهش تأثیر اجرای مدل کلاس معکوس مبتنی بر یادگیری عمیق را بر نتایج یادگیری دانش‌آموزان فقه در آزمون‌های مدرسه دینی، با تمرکز بر توسعه یادگیری زمینه‌ای و معنادار، مورد تحلیل قرار می‌دهد. این مطالعه با رویکرد کمی و با طرح شبه‌آزمایشی پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون با گروه کنترل انجام شده است. جامعه پژوهش شامل ۷۰ دانش‌آموز بود که به دو گروه تقسیم شدند: یک گروه از مدل کلاس معکوس مبتنی بر یادگیری عمیق استفاده کردند و گروه دیگر آموزش متداول را دریافت نمودند. داده‌ها از طریق آزمون‌های نتایج یادگیری، مشاهده و مستندسازی گردآوری شد. تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی، آزمون N-Gain و آزمون t مستقل پس از تأیید فرض نرمال بودن و همگنی انجام گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که بین نتایج یادگیری گروه کلاس معکوس مبتنی بر یادگیری عمیق و گروه متداول تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد (مقدار معناداری ۰.۰۳۱ < ۰.۰۵). گروه آزمایشی میانگین نمره پس‌آزمون ۸۷.۶۵ با N-Gain برابر با ۰.۶۴ را کسب کرد، در حالی که گروه متداول میانگین ۸۲.۶۷ و N-Gain برابر با ۰.۵۴ را به دست آورد. دلالت‌های پژوهش حاکی از آن است که مدل کلاس معکوس مبتنی بر یادگیری عمیق می‌تواند به عنوان یک راهبرد آموزشی جایگزین برای درس فقه، موجب افزایش مشارکت دانش‌آموزان، تقویت درک مفهومی و حمایت از اجرای شیوه‌های نوآورانه یادگیری در مدرسه دینی شود.

This study aims to analyze the comparison of student learning outcomes using the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning models in science (IPAS) subject on the topic of energy in Grade VI elementary school, as well as to examine the influence of gender on these outcomes. The study employed a quantitative descriptive comparative approach with 22 students of Class VI D as subjects, consisting of 12 male and 10 female students. Data were collected through learning outcome tests conducted under both learning conditions. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene homogeneity test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test (comparing TGT and PBL within the same students), and Mann-Whitney U test (comparing male and female students). Results showed that the overall mean score for the TGT model (89.09; SD = 18.23) was higher than for the PBL model (84.55; SD = 21.32). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test yielded p = 0.190 (p > 0.05), indicating that the difference between TGT and PBL learning outcomes overall was not statistically significant. By gender, female students had higher average scores than males in both models (TGT: 94.00 vs 85.00; PBL: 92.00 vs 78.33), though the differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.101 for TGT and p = 0.102 for PBL). Learning mastery reached 81.8% in the TGT model and 72.7% in the PBL model, with female mastery (90.0% in both models) higher than males (75.0% in TGT and 58.3% in PBL). These findings imply the importance of differentiated learning based on gender to improve male students' learning mastery.

هدف این پژوهش تحلیل مقایسه‌ای نتایج یادگیری دانش‌آموزان با استفاده از مدل‌های یادگیری Teams Games Tournament (TGT) و Problem Based Learning (PBL) در درس علوم (IPAS) با موضوع انرژی در پایه ششم ابتدایی و همچنین بررسی تأثیر جنسیت بر این نتایج است. این پژوهش با رویکرد توصیفی-مقایسه‌ای کمی و با شرکت ۲۲ دانش‌آموز کلاس VI D (۱۲ پسر و ۱۰ دختر) انجام شد. داده‌ها از طریق آزمون‌های نتایج یادگیری که تحت هر دو شرایط یادگیری برگزار شد، جمع‌آوری گردید. تحلیل داده‌ها شامل آمار توصیفی، آزمون نرمالیتی Shapiro-Wilk، آزمون همگنی Levene، آزمون Wilcoxon signed-rank (مقایسه TGT و PBL در یک دانش‌آموز) و آزمون Mann-Whitney U (مقایسه دانش‌آموزان دختر و پسر) بود. نتایج نشان داد میانگین کلی نمره مدل TGT (۸۹٫۰۹؛ SD = ۱۸٫۲۳) بالاتر از مدل PBL (۸۴٫۵۵؛ SD = ۲۱٫۳۲) بود. آزمون Wilcoxon signed-rank مقدار p = ۰٫۱۹۰ (p > ۰٫۰۵) را نشان داد که بیانگر عدم تفاوت معنادار آماری بین نتایج یادگیری TGT و PBL به طور کلی است. بر اساس جنسیت، دانش‌آموزان دختر در هر دو مدل میانگین نمره بالاتری نسبت به پسران داشتند (TGT: ۹۴٫۰۰ در مقابل ۸۵٫۰۰؛ PBL: ۹۲٫۰۰ در مقابل ۷۸٫۳۳)، هرچند این تفاوت‌ها از نظر آماری معنادار نبود (p = ۰٫۱۰۱ برای TGT و p = ۰٫۱۰۲ برای PBL). میزان تسلط یادگیری در مدل TGT به ۸۱٫۸٪ و در مدل PBL به ۷۲٫۷٪ رسید و تسلط دختران (۹۰٫۰٪ در هر دو مدل) بالاتر از پسران بود (۷۵٫۰٪ در TGT و ۵۸٫۳٪ در PBL). این یافته‌ها بر اهمیت یادگیری تفکیکی بر اساس جنسیت برای بهبود تسلط یادگیری دانش‌آموزان پسر دلالت دارد.

Data analysis is an important stage in educational research because it transforms raw data into meaningful information that can be used to answer research questions and formulate conclusions. This article discusses data analysis in educational research, including the meaning of data analysis, types of analysis, quantitative and qualitative analysis procedures, mixed-methods analysis, selection of analytical techniques, validity, interpretation, and the use of digital technology and artificial intelligence. This article uses a conceptual literature-review approach based on the submitted paper entitled Analisis Data dalam Penelitian Pendidikan and the methodological references contained in it. The discussion shows that data analysis cannot be separated from the research problem, objectives, research questions, and characteristics of the data. Quantitative analysis generally uses descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative analysis involves reading data, coding, categorizing, developing themes, and interpreting meaning. Mixed methods requires meaningful integration between quantitative and qualitative findings. The analysis also indicates that the use of statistical software and artificial intelligence can support researchers in processing and exploring data, but these technologies cannot replace the researcher's methodological judgment. Therefore, the quality of data analysis depends not merely on the complexity of the technique used, but on its suitability, transparency, validity, and the researcher's ability to interpret findings within the context of the research

تحلیل داده‌ها مرحله‌ای مهم در پژوهش‌های آموزشی است، زیرا داده‌های خام را به اطلاعات معناداری تبدیل می‌کند که می‌توان از آن‌ها برای پاسخ به پرسش‌های پژوهش و تدوین نتایج استفاده کرد. این مقاله به بررسی تحلیل داده‌ها در پژوهش‌های آموزشی می‌پردازد و مفاهیمی چون معنای تحلیل داده‌ها، انواع تحلیل، رویه‌های تحلیل کمی و کیفی، تحلیل روش‌های ترکیبی، انتخاب فنون تحلیلی، روایی، تفسیر و استفاده از فناوری دیجیتال و هوش مصنوعی را مورد بحث قرار می‌دهد. این مقاله با رویکرد مرور مفهومی ادبیات، مبتنی بر مقاله ارائه‌شده با عنوان «تحلیل داده‌ها در پژوهش آموزشی» و منابع روش‌شناختی مندرج در آن نگاشته شده است. بحث مقاله نشان می‌دهد که تحلیل داده‌ها از مسئله پژوهش، اهداف، پرسش‌های پژوهش و ویژگی‌های داده‌ها جدا نیست. تحلیل کمی عموماً از آمار توصیفی و استنباطی استفاده می‌کند، در حالی که تحلیل کیفی شامل خواندن داده‌ها، کدگذاری، دسته‌بندی، توسعه مضامین و تفسیر معنا است. روش‌های ترکیبی نیازمند ادغام معنادار یافته‌های کمی و کیفی هستند. تحلیل همچنین نشان می‌دهد که استفاده از نرم‌افزارهای آماری و هوش مصنوعی می‌تواند پژوهشگران را در پردازش و کاوش داده‌ها یاری کند، اما این فناوری‌ها جایگزین قضاوت روش‌شناختی پژوهشگر نمی‌شوند. بنابراین، کیفیت تحلیل داده‌ها صرفاً به پیچیدگی فنون مورد استفاده بستگی ندارد، بلکه به تناسب، شفافیت، روایی و توانایی پژوهشگر در تفسیر یافته‌ها در بستر پژوهش وابسته است.

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 investigated the direct and parent-mediated relationships of school-based management, capacity-strengthening programs, and teacher work ethic with school output quality. A quantitative causal survey was conducted from October to December 2025 among 245 teachers randomly selected from a population of 627 teachers in public elementary schools in North Aceh Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected using questionnaires operationalizing the five constructs and analyzed through descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, regression, and path analysis. All variables were predominantly at moderate levels: school-based management (M = 81.13), capacity strengthening (M = 81.06), teacher work ethic (M = 79.30), parental involvement (M = 80.15), and school output quality (M = 81.20). Based on the decision statistics reported in the original analysis, all nine hypothesized direct, indirect, and simultaneous paths were accepted. The complete model accounted for 9.7% of the variance in school output quality, while parental involvement had the largest coefficient in the simultaneous equation (0.13), exceeding capacity strengthening (0.07), school-based management (0.04), and teacher work ethic (0.04). These results indicate that organizational autonomy and teacher-related resources are more consequential when translated into sustained school-family engagement. The findings imply that district improvement strategies should institutionalize participatory governance, job-embedded professional learning, supportive work cultures, and structured parental partnerships while also addressing the substantial unexplained variance through broader instructional, leadership, and socioeconomic factors.

این مطالعه به بررسی روابط مستقیم و میانجی‌گری‌شده توسط والدین میان مدیریت مبتنی بر مدرسه، برنامه‌های تقویت ظرفیت و اخلاق کاری معلمان با کیفیت خروجی مدرسه پرداخت. پژوهش به روش پیمایش علّی کمی از اکتبر تا دسامبر ۲۰۲۵ در میان ۲۴۵ معلم که به‌صورت تصادفی از جمعیت ۶۲۷ معلم مدارس ابتدایی دولتی در شهرستان آچه شمالی، اندونزی انتخاب شده بودند، انجام شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه‌هایی که پنج سازه را عملیاتی می‌کردند گردآوری و از طریق آمار توصیفی، آزمون‌های پیش‌نیاز، رگرسیون و تحلیل مسیر تحلیل شدند. همه متغیرها عمدتاً در سطح متوسط قرار داشتند: مدیریت مبتنی بر مدرسه (M = 81.13)، تقویت ظرفیت (M = 81.06)، اخلاق کاری معلمان (M = 79.30)، مشارکت والدین (M = 80.15) و کیفیت خروجی مدرسه (M = 81.20). بر اساس آمار تصمیم‌گیری گزارش‌شده در تحلیل اصلی، هر ۹ مسیر فرضی مستقیم، غیرمستقیم و همزمان پذیرفته شدند. مدل کامل ۹.۷٪ از واریانس کیفیت خروجی مدرسه را تبیین کرد، در حالی که مشارکت والدین دارای بزرگ‌ترین ضریب در معادله همزمان (0.13) بود که از تقویت ظرفیت (0.07)، مدیریت مبتنی بر مدرسه (0.04) و اخلاق کاری معلمان (0.04) بیشتر بود. این نتایج نشان می‌دهد که خودمختاری سازمانی و منابع مرتبط با معلمان زمانی اهمیت بیشتری می‌یابند که به تعامل پایدار مدرسه و خانواده تبدیل شوند. یافته‌ها دلالت بر آن دارد که راهبردهای بهبود منطقه‌ای باید حکمرانی مشارکتی، یادگیری حرفه‌ای درون‌کار، فرهنگ‌های کاری حمایتی و مشارکت ساختاریافته والدین را نهادینه کنند و همزمان به واریانس توضیح‌داده‌نشده قابل توجه از طریق عوامل گسترده‌تر آموزشی، رهبری و اجتماعی‌اقتصادی بپردازند.

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.

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.

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is increasingly recognised as an effective approach for promoting students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and conceptual understanding in mathematics. Although PBL is emphasised in the Ghanaian Senior High School mathematics curriculum, its classroom implementation remains limited, and empirical evidence on the role of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in supporting it is scarce. This study examined the extent to which PLCs are associated with teachers' implementation of PBL. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was adopted. Data were collected from 86 mathematics teachers and school administrators in three public Senior High Schools using a structured questionnaire (83 valid responses retained for quantitative analysis), followed by semi-structured interviews with 15 teachers. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, and qualitative data were analysed thematically. Participants reported high levels of PLC participation (M = 3.47) and PBL implementation (M = 3.48). The five PLC dimensions jointly predicted PBL implementation, R² = .424, F(5, 77) = 11.345, p < .001. Shared Mission, Vision and Values, Collective Responsibility for Student Learning, and Collective Inquiry were significant individual predictors. Interviews indicated that PLCs were associated with collaborative lesson planning, professional dialogue, reflective practice, and teachers' confidence in implementing PBL, while inadequate time, limited instructional resources, and insufficient institutional support constrained implementation. Effective PLCs are associated with teachers' greater capacity to implement PBL in Senior High School mathematics. Strengthening PLC activities through continuous professional development, structured collaboration, and adequate resource provision is recommended to support sustained PBL implementation.

یادگیری مبتنی بر مسئله (PBL) به طور فزاینده‌ای به عنوان رویکردی مؤثر برای ارتقای تفکر انتقادی، حل مسئله و درک مفهومی دانش‌آموزان در ریاضیات شناخته می‌شود. اگرچه PBL در برنامه درسی ریاضیات دبیرستان‌های غنا مورد تأکید قرار گرفته است، اجرای آن در کلاس درس همچنان محدود باقی مانده و شواهد تجربی درباره نقش جوامع یادگیری حرفه‌ای (PLCs) در حمایت از آن اندک است. این پژوهش میزان ارتباط PLCها با اجرای PBL توسط معلمان را بررسی کرد. طرح پژوهش آمیخته تبیینی-توالی‌دار به کار گرفته شد. داده‌ها از ۸۶ معلم و مدیر ریاضی در سه دبیرستان دولتی با استفاده از پرسشنامه ساختاریافته (۸۳ پاسخ معتبر برای تحلیل کمی حفظ شد) گردآوری شد و سپس مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته با ۱۵ معلم انجام گرفت. داده‌های کمی با استفاده از آمار توصیفی و رگرسیون خطی چندگانه تحلیل شد و داده‌های کیفی به صورت تماتیک مورد تحلیل قرار گرفت. شرکت‌کنندگان سطوح بالایی از مشارکت در PLC (M = 3.47) و اجرای PBL (M = 3.48) را گزارش کردند. پنج بُعد PLC به طور مشترک اجرای PBL را پیش‌بینی کردند، R² = .424, F(5, 77) = 11.345, p < .001. مأموریت، چشم‌انداز و ارزش‌های مشترک، مسئولیت جمعی برای یادگیری دانش‌آموزان و پژوهش جمعی پیش‌بین‌های معنادار فردی بودند. مصاحبه‌ها نشان داد که PLCها با برنامه‌ریزی درسی مشارکتی، گفت‌وگوی حرفه‌ای، عمل تأملی و اعتماد به نفس معلمان در اجرای PBL مرتبط بودند، در حالی که کمبود زمان، منابع آموزشی محدود و حمایت نهادی ناکافی، اجرای آن را محدود می‌کرد. PLCهای مؤثر با ظرفیت بالاتر معلمان برای اجرای PBL در ریاضیات دبیرستان مرتبط هستند. تقویت فعالیت‌های PLC از طریق توسعه حرفه‌ای مستمر، همکاری ساختاریافته و تأمین منابع کافی برای حمایت از اجرای پایدار PBL توصیه می‌شود.

This study seeks to reveal the profile of collaboration skills (CS) and communication confidence (CC) of pre-service chemsitry teacher (PCT). Designed as a descriptive quantitative study, convenience sampling technique was adopted for this study. A total of 26 PCTs were involved as research samples. Data were obtained through two closed-ended questionnaires: the Collaborative Skill Questionnaire (CS-Q) and the Communication Confidence Questionnaire (CC-Q). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the profile levels of the PCT-CS and PCT-CC. The level criteria were divided into five categories. Based on these results, the PCT-CS was generally at a good level. Meanwhile, the PCT-CC level was sufficient. Based on the research results that have gone through the data analysis stage, learning activities need to implement methods that are capable of training PCT-CS and PCT-CC such as collaborative learning methods.

این مطالعه با هدف آشکارسازی نمایه مهارت‌های همکاری (CS) و اعتماد به نفس ارتباطی (CC) دانشجومعلمان شیمی (PCT) انجام شده است. این پژوهش به صورت توصیفی-کمی طراحی شده و از روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس استفاده شده است. در مجموع ۲۶ نفر از دانشجومعلمان شیمی به عنوان نمونه پژوهش شرکت داشتند. داده‌ها از طریق دو پرسشنامه بسته‌پاسخ جمع‌آوری شد: پرسشنامه مهارت همکاری (CS-Q) و پرسشنامه اعتماد به نفس ارتباطی (CC-Q). برای تحلیل سطوح نمایه PCT-CS و PCT-CC از آمار توصیفی استفاده شد. معیار سطوح به پنج دسته تقسیم گردید. بر اساس این نتایج، سطح PCT-CS به طور کلی در وضعیت خوب قرار داشت. در حالی که سطح PCT-CC در حد کافی بود. بر اساس نتایج پژوهش که مرحله تحلیل داده‌ها را طی کرده است، فعالیت‌های یادگیری نیازمند اجرای روش‌هایی هستند که قادر به تقویت PCT-CS و PCT-CC باشند؛ مانند روش‌های یادگیری مشارکتی.

This study aimed to assess musculoskeletal and ergonomic risk, identify demographic, occupational, lifestyle, and biomechanical characteristics associated with these outcomes, and develop and prioritize ergonomic intervention strategies for petrochemical control room operators. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2025 among 210 male control room operators from an Iranian petrochemical complex using census sampling. Data were collected using the Demographic/Occupational Questionnaire, Persian International Physical Activity Questionnaire (P-IPAQ), Persian Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (P-ÖMSQ), and Persian Ergonomic Screening and Priority Tool (P-ESPT), complemented by objective postural and plantar pressure assessments. The P-ÖMSQ was used to classify participants according to P-ÖMSQ risk categories, with scores ≥ 90 categorized as moderate-to-high risk. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 20.0, with descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and multivariable logistic regression. A P-ÖMSQ score within the moderate-to-high risk categories (≥ 90) was observed in 27% of participants, while 78% were classified as having moderate-to-high ergonomic risk. Multivariable logistic regression showed that older age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02–1.17, p = 0.014), higher body mass index (BMI) (aOR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.04–1.27, p = 0.006), and longer job tenure (aOR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.01–3.89, p = 0.047) were independently associated with higher odds of being classified in the moderate-to-high-risk P-ÖMSQ category. Lower physical activity was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of forward head posture, thoracic hyperkyphosis, lateral pelvic tilt, and pes planus ( p < 0.05). Objective biomechanical abnormalities were also significantly associated with higher P-ÖMSQ-based and P-ESPT-based risk categories ( p < 0.05). Based on the study findings, 20 ergonomic intervention strategies were proposed and prioritized through a stakeholder-informed participatory process. Older age, higher body mass index, and longer job tenure were associated with higher odds of being classified in the moderate-to-high-risk P-ÖMSQ category, while lower physical activity was associated with selected postural abnormalities among petrochemical control room operators. Several objective biomechanical abnormalities were also associated with P-ÖMSQ-based and P-ESPT-based risk categories. These findings may inform the prioritization of workplace ergonomic interventions; however, the proposed interventions were not evaluated in the present study, and their effectiveness should be assessed in future longitudinal and interventional studies.

هدف این مطالعه، ارزیابی خطر اسکلتی‌عضلانی و ارگونومیک، شناسایی ویژگی‌های جمعیت‌شناختی، شغلی، سبک زندگی و بیومکانیکی مرتبط با این پیامدها و تدوین و اولویت‌بندی راهبردهای مداخله ارگونومیک برای اپراتورهای اتاق کنترل پتروشیمی بود. این مطالعه مقطعی در سال ۲۰۲۵ بر روی ۲۱۰ اپراتور مرد اتاق کنترل از یک مجتمع پتروشیمی ایرانی با استفاده از نمونه‌گیری سرشماری انجام شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه جمعیت‌شناختی/شغلی، نسخه فارسی پرسشنامه بین‌المللی فعالیت بدنی (P-IPAQ)، نسخه فارسی پرسشنامه غربالگری درد اسکلتی‌عضلانی Örebro (P-ÖMSQ) و ابزار غربالگری و اولویت‌بندی ارگونومیک فارسی (P-ESPT) جمع‌آوری شد و با ارزیابی عینی وضعیت بدنی و فشار کف پا تکمیل گردید. P-ÖMSQ برای طبقه‌بندی شرکت‌کنندگان بر اساس دسته‌های خطر P-ÖMSQ به کار رفت و نمرات ≥ ۹۰ به عنوان خطر متوسط تا زیاد طبقه‌بندی شدند. داده‌ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) نسخه ۲۰.۰ و با آمار توصیفی، آزمون کای‌اسکوئر و رگرسیون لجستیک چندمتغیره تحلیل شد. نمره P-ÖMSQ در دسته‌های خطر متوسط تا زیاد (≥ ۹۰) در ۲۷٪ از شرکت‌کنندگان مشاهده شد، در حالی که ۷۸٪ در دسته خطر ارگونومیک متوسط تا زیاد طبقه‌بندی شدند. رگرسیون لجستیک چندمتغیره نشان داد که سن بالاتر (نسبت شانس تعدیل‌شده [aOR] = 1.09، فاصله اطمینان ۹۵٪ [CI] = 1.02–1.17، p = 0.014)، شاخص توده بدنی بالاتر (aOR = 1.15، CI = 1.04–1.27، p = 0.006) و سابقه شغلی طولانی‌تر (aOR = 1.98، CI = 1.01–3.89، p = 0.047) به طور مستقل با شانس بالاتر طبقه‌بندی در دسته خطر متوسط تا زیاد P-ÖMSQ مرتبط بودند. فعالیت بدنی کمتر به طور معناداری با شیوع بالاتر وضعیت سر به جلو، هیپرکیفوز توراسیک، کج‌بودن لگن به طرفین و کف پای صاف مرتبط بود (p < 0.05). ناهنجاری‌های بیومکانیکی عینی نیز به طور معناداری با دسته‌های خطر مبتنی بر P-ÖMSQ و P-ESPT مرتبط بودند (p < 0.05). بر اساس یافته‌های مطالعه، ۲۰ راهبرد مداخله ارگونومیک پیشنهاد و از طریق فرایند مشارکتی مبتنی بر ذینفعان اولویت‌بندی شد. سن بالاتر، شاخص توده بدنی بالاتر و سابقه شغلی طولانی‌تر با شانس بالاتر طبقه‌بندی در دسته خطر متوسط تا زیاد P-ÖMSQ مرتبط بودند، در حالی که فعالیت بدنی کمتر با برخی ناهنجاری‌های وضعیتی در میان اپراتورهای اتاق کنترل پتروشیمی ارتباط داشت. چندین ناهنجاری بیومکانیکی عینی نیز با دسته‌های خطر مبتنی بر P-ÖMSQ و P-ESPT مرتبط بودند. این یافته‌ها می‌تواند به اولویت‌بندی مداخلات ارگونومیک محیط کار کمک کند؛ با این حال، مداخلات پیشنهادی در مطالعه حاضر ارزیابی نشدند و اثربخشی آن‌ها باید در مطالعات طولی و مداخله‌ای آینده بررسی شود.

Mental health and psychosocial wellbeing among migrant workers and their families are important public health concerns in Nepal. The PARBARDHAN project used a community-based approach to strengthen mental health and psychosocial support, community participation, and local service capacity in migration-affected communities. This study describes psychosocial wellbeing at endline evaluation and compares findings descriptively with baseline and midline . A cross-sectional, mixed-methods endline evaluation was conducted in Salyan and Kailali districts of Nepal. The quantitative component included 245 project beneficiaries aged 16–80 yearsincluding20 (8.2%) migrant/returnee workers and 225 (91.8%) family/community respondents; 216 (88.2%) reported having a family member currently abroad. Psychological distress was assessed using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and anxiety and depression the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-25). Life satisfaction and subjective happiness were assessed. Qualitative interviews and focus group discussions provided contextual information on project implementation and perceived effects. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data were analysed using framework analysis. Data were collected from3-26 February, 2026. At endline, 34.7% screened positive for psychological distress, while 8.2% screened positive for anxiety and 5.3% for depression (5.3%). Compared with baseline and midline assessment rounds, anxiety and depression screening positivity was lower at endline, whereas probable psychological distress was higher. Qualitative findings indicated increased mental health awareness, greater willingness to seek support, perceived reductions in stigma, and support through self-help groups, peer groups counselling, and community activities. However, substantial dissatisfaction with life was also reported. Because the evaluation rounds used independent cross-sectional samples, the observed differences cannot be interpreted as within-person changes or attributed causally to the PARBARDHAN intervention. The findings indicate the perceived value of community-based mental health and psychosocial support while highlighting continuing economic insecurity, family separation, and other structural factors affecting psychosocial wellbeing.

سلامت روان و رفاه روانی‌اجتماعی در میان کارگران مهاجر و خانواده‌های آنان از دغدغه‌های مهم بهداشت عمومی در نپال است. پروژه PARBARDHAN با رویکرد مبتنی بر جامعه به تقویت حمایت‌های سلامت روان و روانی‌اجتماعی، مشارکت اجتماعی و ظرفیت خدمات محلی در جوامع متاثر از مهاجرت پرداخت. این مطالعه رفاه روانی‌اجتماعی را در ارزیابی نهایی توصیف کرده و یافته‌ها را به صورت توصیفی با خط پایه و میان‌دوره مقایسه می‌کند. ارزیابی نهایی مقطعی با روش‌های ترکیبی در مناطق Salyan و Kailali نپال انجام شد. بخش کمی شامل ۲۴۵ نفر از بهره‌مندان پروژه در بازه سنی ۱۶ تا ۸۰ سال بود که از این میان ۲۰ نفر (۸.۲٪) کارگر مهاجر/بازگشته و ۲۲۵ نفر (۹۱.۸٪) از اعضای خانواده/جامعه بودند؛ ۲۱۶ نفر (۸۸.۲٪) گزارش دادند که یکی از اعضای خانواده‌شان در حال حاضر در خارج از کشور است. پریشانی روان‌شناختی با استفاده از پرسشنامه سلامت عمومی (GHQ-12) و اضطراب و افسردگی با فهرست نشانه‌های هاپکینز (HSCL-25) ارزیابی شد. رضایت از زندگی و شادی ذهنی نیز مورد سنجش قرار گرفت. مصاحبه‌های کیفی و بحث‌های گروهی متمرکز اطلاعات زمینه‌ای درباره اجرای پروژه و اثرات ادراک‌شده را فراهم کردند. داده‌های کمی با استفاده از آمار توصیفی و داده‌های کیفی با تحلیل چارچوبی تحلیل شدند. داده‌ها از ۳ تا ۲۶ فوریه ۲۰۲۶ جمع‌آوری شد. در ارزیابی نهایی، ۳۴.۷٪ از نظر پریشانی روان‌شناختی مثبت غربال شدند، در حالی که ۸.۲٪ از نظر اضطراب و ۵.۳٪ از نظر افسردگی (۵.۳٪) مثبت بودند. در مقایسه با ارزیابی‌های خط پایه و میان‌دوره، میزان مثبت بودن غربالگری اضطراب و افسردگی در ارزیابی نهایی کمتر بود، در حالی که احتمال پریشانی روان‌شناختی بیشتر بود. یافته‌های کیفی نشان‌دهنده افزایش آگاهی سلامت روان، تمایل بیشتر به جستجوی حمایت، کاهش ادراک‌شده انگ و حمایت از طریق گروه‌های خودیاری، مشاوره گروه‌های همسالان و فعالیت‌های اجتماعی بود. با این حال، نارضایتی قابل توجهی از زندگی نیز گزارش شد. از آنجا که نمونه‌های ارزیابی در هر مرحله مقطعی و مستقل بودند، تفاوت‌های مشاهده‌شده را نمی‌توان به عنوان تغییرات درون‌فردی یا به طور علّی به مداخله PARBARDHAN نسبت داد. یافته‌ها ارزش ادراک‌شده حمایت سلامت روان و روانی‌اجتماعی مبتنی بر جامعه را نشان می‌دهد و در عین حال بر تداوم ناامنی اقتصادی، جدایی خانوادگی و سایر عوامل ساختاری موثر بر رفاه روانی‌اجتماعی تاکید می‌کند.

The aim of this study is to examine whether middle school students’ attitudes toward developing Turkish vocabulary differ according to the tools they preferred during the preparation of post-reading presentations. The study employed a quantitative comparative correlational design. The participants consisted of 56 fifth-grade students attending a public middle school in Burhaniye, Balıkesir, Türkiye. Within the framework of the Türkiye Century Education Model, students presented the books they had read by using artificial intelligence-supported tools, conventional digital tools, or hand-prepared materials, based on their own preferences. No intervention was made in the natural learning environment. After the presentations, the Attitude Scale for Developing Vocabulary in the Turkish Course, developed by Yaşar and Topçuoğlu Ünal (2016), was administered. Descriptive statistics and the independent-samples t-test were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that students who preferred artificial intelligence-supported tools obtained significantly higher attitude scores toward developing Turkish vocabulary than those who preferred conventional digital tools or hand-prepared materials. The calculated effect size (Cohen’s d ≈ 0.59) indicated a medium effect. The results suggest that students’ attitudes toward developing Turkish vocabulary differ significantly according to the tools they preferred during the preparation of post-reading presentations.

هدف این پژوهش بررسی این است که آیا نگرش دانش‌آموزان دوره متوسطه اول نسبت به توسعه واژگان زبان ترکی بر اساس ابزارهایی که در تهیه ارائه‌های پس از مطالعه ترجیح داده‌اند، تفاوت دارد یا خیر. این پژوهش با طرح کمی از نوع همبستگی مقایسه‌ای انجام شده است. شرکت‌کنندگان شامل ۵۶ دانش‌آموز پایه پنجم یک مدرسه متوسطه دولتی در بورحانیه، بالیکسیر، ترکیه بودند. در چارچوب مدل آموزشی قرن ترکیه، دانش‌آموزان کتاب‌هایی را که مطالعه کرده بودند با استفاده از ابزارهای مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی، ابزارهای دیجیتال متداول یا مواد تهیه‌شده با دست، بر اساس ترجیحات خود ارائه کردند. هیچ مداخله‌ای در محیط طبیعی یادگیری صورت نگرفت. پس از ارائه‌ها، مقیاس نگرش نسبت به توسعه واژگان در درس زبان ترکی که توسط Yaşar و Topçuoğlu Ünal (۲۰۱۶) تدوین شده است، اجرا شد. برای تحلیل داده‌ها از آمار توصیفی و آزمون t مستقل استفاده گردید. یافته‌ها نشان داد که دانش‌آموزانی که ابزارهای مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی را ترجیح داده بودند، نمرات نگرش به طور معناداری بالاتری نسبت به توسعه واژگان زبان ترکی نسبت به کسانی که ابزارهای دیجیتال متداول یا مواد تهیه‌شده با دست را انتخاب کرده بودند، کسب کردند. اندازه‌ی اثر محاسبه‌شده (d کوهن ≈ ۰٫۵۹) نشان‌دهنده‌ی اندازه‌ی اثر متوسط بود. نتایج حاکی از آن است که نگرش دانش‌آموزان نسبت به توسعه واژگان زبان ترکی بر اساس ابزارهایی که در تهیه ارائه‌های پس از مطالعه ترجیح داده‌اند، تفاوت معناداری دارد.

This study examined the association between the reported level of gamified learning platform implementation and student motivation among Grade 3 pupils in selected public elementary schools in Sultan Kudarat, Philippines, during School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it determined the level of implementation of gamified learning platforms in terms of game mechanics, interactive digital activities, reward system, and feedback system; assessed the level of student motivation in terms of interest in learning, participation and engagement, and persistence in task completion; identified the challenges encountered by the pupils; and examined the relationship between gamified learning platform implementation and student motivation. The study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational design involving 63 Grade 3 pupils from three selected public elementary schools in Sultan Kudarat, Philippines. The gamified learning platforms utilized by the pupils included Kahoot!, Quizizz, Prodigy, and Classcraft. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire validated by a Master Teacher and tested for reliability, yielding a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.8877. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were used to summarize the data, while the Pearson product–moment correlation coefficient was used to examine the relationship between the variables at the 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that the reported level of gamified learning platform implementation was very high (M = 4.21, SD = 1.06), while student motivation was also very high (M = 4.61, SD = 0.77). The pupils reported a high level of challenges (M = 3.49, SD = 1.29), particularly regarding the need for teacher guidance. A moderate positive and statistically significant association was found between gamified learning platform implementation and student motivation (r = 0.49, p < .05). These findings indicate that higher reported levels of gamified learning platform implementation tended to be associated with higher reported levels of student motivation. However, the correlational design does not establish a causal relationship between the variables. The findings provide context-specific evidence of an observed association between pupils’ reported experiences with gamified learning platforms and their reported motivation.

این پژوهش به بررسی ارتباط بین سطح گزارش‌شده‌ی اجرای پلتفرم‌های یادگیری بازی‌وار و انگیزش دانش‌آموزان پایه سوم ابتدایی در برخی مدارس دولتی شهرستان سلطان کودارات، فیلیپین، در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵–۲۰۲۶ پرداخت. به طور خاص، سطح اجرای پلتفرم‌های یادگیری بازی‌وار از نظر مکانیک‌های بازی، فعالیت‌های دیجیتال تعاملی، نظام پاداش و نظام بازخورد تعیین شد؛ سطح انگیزش دانش‌آموزان از نظر علاقه به یادگیری، مشارکت و درگیری، و پایداری در تکمیل وظایف ارزیابی گردید؛ چالش‌های مواجه‌شده توسط دانش‌آموزان شناسایی شد؛ و رابطه بین اجرای پلتفرم یادگیری بازی‌وار و انگیزش دانش‌آموزان بررسی شد. این پژوهش از طرح توصیفی-همبستگی کمی با مشارکت ۶۳ دانش‌آموز پایه سوم از سه مدرسه دولتی منتخب در سلطان کودارات، فیلیپین، بهره گرفت. پلتفرم‌های یادگیری بازی‌وار مورد استفاده دانش‌آموزان شامل Kahoot!، Quizizz، Prodigy و Classcraft بود. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه‌ای محقق‌ساخته که توسط یک معلم ارشد اعتبارسنجی و از نظر پایایی با آلفای کرونباخ ۰٫۸۸۷۷ آزمون شد، گردآوری گردید. برای خلاصه‌سازی داده‌ها از آمار توصیفی شامل میانگین و انحراف معیار استفاده شد و برای بررسی رابطه بین متغیرها از ضریب همبستگی پیرسون در سطح معناداری ۰٫۰۵ بهره گرفته شد. نتایج نشان داد که سطح گزارش‌شده‌ی اجرای پلتفرم یادگیری بازی‌وار بسیار بالا بود (M = 4.21, SD = 1.06) و انگیزش دانش‌آموزان نیز بسیار بالا بود (M = 4.61, SD = 0.77). دانش‌آموزان سطح بالایی از چالش‌ها را گزارش کردند (M = 3.49, SD = 1.29)، به ویژه در زمینه نیاز به راهنمایی معلم. یک ارتباط مثبت متوسط و معنادار آماری بین اجرای پلتفرم یادگیری بازی‌وار و انگیزش دانش‌آموزان یافت شد (r = 0.49, p < .05). این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که سطوح بالاتر گزارش‌شده‌ی اجرای پلتفرم یادگیری بازی‌وار با سطوح بالاتر گزارش‌شده‌ی انگیزش دانش‌آموزان همراه است. با این حال، طرح همبستگی پژوهش رابطه علّی بین متغیرها را اثبات نمی‌کند. یافته‌ها شواهدی زمینه‌محور از ارتباط مشاهده‌شده بین تجربیات گزارش‌شده‌ی دانش‌آموزان با پلتفرم‌های یادگیری بازی‌وار و انگیزش گزارش‌شده‌ی آنان ارائه می‌دهد.

Abstract This study investigated the effect of family planning services on the psychosocial well-being of persons with hearing impairment in Buea Sub-Division, Cameroon. The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design, complemented by qualitative data, involving an experimental group and a control group. Twelve participants were involved in the family planning intervention assessment, with six assigned to each group. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments of psychosocial well-being, complemented by participants' testimonies. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and independent-samples t-tests, while qualitative responses were examined thematically. Findings revealed no statistically significant differences in psychosocial well-being between the experimental and control groups at pre-test (p > .05). However, following the family planning counselling intervention, participants in the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher psychosocial well-being scores (M = 135.83) than those in the control group (M = 75.67), with a statistically significant overall difference (t = 7.608, p < .001). Significant improvements were observed across all six dimensions of psychosocial well-being, particularly environmental mastery, positive interpersonal relationships, autonomy and self-acceptance. Qualitative findings further revealed improved reproductive health knowledge, increased self-confidence, reduced fear, enhanced communication with partners and greater autonomy in reproductive decision-making. The study concluded that accessible family planning counselling significantly improves the psychosocial well-being of persons with hearing impairment. It recommended integrating disability-inclusive family planning counselling, qualified sign language interpretation and psychosocial support into reproductive healthcare services to promote equitable access, reproductive autonomy and psychological well-being.

چکیده: این پژوهش به بررسی تأثیر خدمات تنظیم خانواده بر بهزیستی روانی‌اجتماعی افراد دارای اختلال شنوایی در بخش بوا، کامرون پرداخت. طرح پژوهش از نوع شبه‌آزمایشی و با داده‌های کیفی تکمیل شد و شامل یک گروه آزمایش و یک گروه کنترل بود. دوازده شرکت‌کننده در ارزیابی مداخله تنظیم خانواده مشارکت داشتند که شش نفر در هر گروه قرار گرفتند. داده‌ها از طریق ارزیابی‌های پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون بهزیستی روانی‌اجتماعی و همچنین شهادت‌های شرکت‌کنندگان گردآوری شد. داده‌های کمی با استفاده از آمار توصیفی و آزمون t مستقل تحلیل گردید و پاسخ‌های کیفی به صورت موضوعی بررسی شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که در مرحله پیش‌آزمون، تفاوت معناداری از نظر آماری در بهزیستی روانی‌اجتماعی بین گروه آزمایش و کنترل وجود نداشت (p > .05). با این حال، پس از مداخله مشاوره تنظیم خانواده، شرکت‌کنندگان گروه آزمایش نمرات بهزیستی روانی‌اجتماعی به طور معناداری بالاتری (M = 135.83) نسبت به گروه کنترل (M = 75.67) کسب کردند و تفاوت کلی معناداری مشاهده شد (t = 7.608, p < .001). بهبودهای معناداری در هر شش بعد بهزیستی روانی‌اجتماعی، به ویژه تسلط بر محیط، روابط مثبت بین‌فردی، خودمختاری و پذیرش خود مشاهده گردید. یافته‌های کیفی نیز نشان‌دهنده بهبود دانش سلامت باروری، افزایش اعتماد به نفس، کاهش ترس، ارتقای ارتباط با شریک زندگی و خودمختاری بیشتر در تصمیم‌گیری‌های باروری بود. پژوهش نتیجه گرفت که مشاوره تنظیم خانواده در دسترس، به طور معناداری بهزیستی روانی‌اجتماعی افراد دارای اختلال شنوایی را بهبود می‌بخشد. همچنین، ادغام مشاوره تنظیم خانواده فراگیر برای افراد دارای معلولیت، تفسیر زبان اشاره تخصصی و حمایت روانی‌اجتماعی در خدمات سلامت باروری به منظور ارتقای دسترسی عادلانه، خودمختاری باروری و بهزیستی روان‌شناختی توصیه شد.

This study examines the status of science identity of physics among middle school students, adopting a mixed-methods approach combining survey data and qualitative interviews, thereby addressing a gap in research on science identity in physics within the transitional context from integrated to discipline-specific curricula in early middle school. Quantitative analyses, including descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, correlation analysis, t-tests, and MANOVA, examined students’ science identity status, patterns, and gender differences. Qualitative interviews were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis to explore underlying factors. The findings indicate that students’ science identity is moderately positive overall but characterized by an internal imbalance. While interest in science classes emerges as the strongest dimension, science role recognition remains notably weak, revealing an interest–recognition gap. A substantial proportion of students cluster within a neutral identity category, suggesting that the transition from integrated science to subject-based curricula represents a critical and malleable stage in identity development. Gender differences are significant across all dimensions of science identity and become more pronounced at higher grade levels, particularly in learning competence, practical performance, and career interest. Qualitative evidence suggests that these patterns may be associated with increasing academic demands following the transition to discipline-specific curricula, shifts in evaluation approaches, and internalized gender stereotypes. Additionally, limited peer discourse, low perceived proximity to the scientist role, and insufficient exposure to authentic scientific practices further constrain identity formation. Teacher recognition is a critical factor, with female students showing heightened sensitivity to it.

این پژوهش به بررسی وضعیت هویت علمی در فیزیک در میان دانش‌آموزان دوره متوسطه اول می‌پردازد و با اتخاذ رویکردی ترکیبی که داده‌های پیمایشی و مصاحبه‌های کیفی را تلفیق می‌کند، به خلأ پژوهشی در زمینه هویت علمی در فیزیک در بستر گذار از برنامه درسی تلفیقی به برنامه درسی مبتنی بر رشته‌های مجزا در اوایل دوره متوسطه پاسخ می‌دهد. تحلیل‌های کمی، شامل آمار توصیفی، تحلیل خوشه‌ای، تحلیل همبستگی، آزمون t و تحلیل واریانس چندمتغیره (MANOVA)، وضعیت، الگوها و تفاوت‌های جنسیتی هویت علمی دانش‌آموزان را بررسی کردند. مصاحبه‌های کیفی با استفاده از تحلیل تماتیک بازتابی برای شناسایی عوامل زمینه‌ای تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که هویت علمی دانش‌آموزان به طور کلی در سطحی نسبتاً مثبت قرار دارد اما با عدم تعادل درونی همراه است. در حالی که علاقه به کلاس‌های علوم قوی‌ترین بُعد هویت است، شناسایی نقش علمی به طور قابل توجهی ضعیف باقی می‌ماند و شکاف علاقه ـ شناسایی را آشکار می‌سازد. بخش قابل توجهی از دانش‌آموزان در دسته هویت خنثی قرار می‌گیرند که نشان می‌دهد گذار از علوم تلفیقی به برنامه درسی مبتنی بر رشته، مرحله‌ای بحرانی و انعطاف‌پذیر در رشد هویت به شمار می‌رود. تفاوت‌های جنسیتی در همه ابعاد هویت علمی معنادار است و در پایه‌های بالاتر، به ویژه در شایستگی یادگیری، عملکرد عملی و علاقه شغلی، برجسته‌تر می‌شود. شواهد کیفی حاکی از آن است که این الگوها ممکن است با افزایش انتظارات تحصیلی پس از گذار به برنامه درسی مبتنی بر رشته، تغییر رویکردهای ارزشیابی و درونی‌سازی کلیشه‌های جنسیتی مرتبط باشد. همچنین، محدودیت در گفت‌وگوی همسالان، ادراک پایین از نزدیکی به نقش دانشمند و مواجهه ناکافی با تجارب اصیل علمی، شکل‌گیری هویت را بیشتر محدود می‌کند. شناسایی معلم به عنوان عاملی کلیدی مطرح است و دانش‌آموزان دختر حساسیت بیشتری نسبت به آن نشان می‌دهند.

Background: Workplace stress, anxiety, burnout and psychological distress are important concerns affecting employee well-being and organisational performance. The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital mental health support offers opportunities for accessible and timely assistance, while raising concerns regarding privacy, informed consent, algorithmic bias, clinical safety, accountability and human oversight. This study aims to examine the potential role and responsible integration of AI-based psychiatric counselling for managing employee stress and supporting workplace mental health by 2030. Materials and Methods: A mixed-methods research design will be used, combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews. The quantitative component will include approximately 350–450 employees, while the qualitative component will involve approximately 25–35 interviews with HR professionals, organisational leaders, EAP professionals and mental health practitioners. Data will assess perceived stress, anxiety, burnout, psychological safety, trust, confidentiality, privacy concerns, AI counselling acceptance and willingness to use AI-based mental health support. Quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive statistics, reliability testing, correlation, regression, t-tests, ANOVA and appropriate mediation or moderation analyses. Qualitative data will be analysed thematically. Results: The study is expected to identify factors influencing employee acceptance and trust in AI-based psychiatric counselling and to examine the role of privacy, human oversight, psychological safety and organisational support in its responsible adoption. Conclusion: AI-based psychiatric counselling may serve as a supportive component of workplace mental health systems, particularly for early support, psychoeducation, self-help and triage. However, it should complement rather than replace qualified mental health professionals. Responsible implementation will require privacy safeguards, informed consent, clinical oversight, transparency, fairness, accountability and clear referral pathways.

زمینه: استرس محیط کار، اضطراب، فرسودگی شغلی و پریشانی روان‌شناختی از دغدغه‌های مهمی هستند که بهزیستی کارکنان و عملکرد سازمانی را تحت تأثیر قرار می‌دهند. افزایش استفاده از هوش مصنوعی (AI) در حمایت دیجیتال سلامت روان، فرصت‌هایی برای دسترسی و کمک به‌موقع فراهم می‌کند، در حالی که نگرانی‌هایی درباره حریم خصوصی، رضایت آگاهانه، سوگیری الگوریتمی، ایمنی بالینی، مسئولیت‌پذیری و نظارت انسانی ایجاد می‌کند. هدف این مطالعه بررسی نقش بالقوه و ادغام مسئولانه مشاوره روان‌پزشکی مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی برای مدیریت استرس کارکنان و حمایت از سلامت روان محیط کار تا سال ۲۰۳۰ است. مواد و روش‌ها: از طرح پژوهشی آمیخته استفاده خواهد شد که داده‌های پیمایش کمی را با مصاحبه‌های کیفی ترکیب می‌کند. بخش کمی شامل حدود ۳۵۰ تا ۴۵۰ نفر از کارکنان خواهد بود و بخش کیفی شامل حدود ۲۵ تا ۳۵ مصاحبه با متخصصان منابع انسانی، رهبران سازمانی، متخصصان EAP و درمانگران سلامت روان خواهد بود. داده‌ها میزان استرس ادراک‌شده، اضطراب، فرسودگی شغلی، ایمنی روان‌شناختی، اعتماد، محرمانگی، نگرانی‌های مربوط به حریم خصوصی، پذیرش مشاوره مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی و تمایل به استفاده از حمایت سلامت روان مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی را ارزیابی خواهند کرد. داده‌های کمی با استفاده از آمار توصیفی، آزمون پایایی، همبستگی، رگرسیون، آزمون t، ANOVA و تحلیل‌های میانجی‌گری یا تعدیل‌گری مناسب تحلیل می‌شوند. داده‌های کیفی به صورت مضمون‌محور تحلیل خواهند شد. نتایج: انتظار می‌رود مطالعه عوامل مؤثر بر پذیرش و اعتماد کارکنان به مشاوره روان‌پزشکی مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی را شناسایی کند و نقش حریم خصوصی، نظارت انسانی، ایمنی روان‌شناختی و حمایت سازمانی را در پذیرش مسئولانه آن بررسی نماید. نتیجه‌گیری: مشاوره روان‌پزشکی مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی می‌تواند به عنوان بخشی حمایتی از نظام‌های سلامت روان محیط کار، به ویژه برای حمایت اولیه، آموزش روانی، خودیاری و ارجاع اولیه مورد استفاده قرار گیرد. با این حال، باید مکمل و نه جایگزین متخصصان واجد شرایط سلامت روان باشد. اجرای مسئولانه نیازمند تضمین‌های حریم خصوصی، رضایت آگاهانه، نظارت بالینی، شفافیت، انصاف، مسئولیت‌پذیری و مسیرهای ارجاع روشن خواهد بود.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of teaching and learning resources on quality education in public primary schools in Machakos County, Kenya. Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive research design that combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. The target population comprised 403 head teachers, 2,015 Standard Eight teachers and 756 Standard Eight pupils in rural public primary schools (N = 3,174). A sample of 343 respondents was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan formula and selected through purposive and simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires administered to teachers who taught Standard Eight, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with Standard Eight pupils, and document analysis of school records provided by head teachers. Quantitative data were analyzed in SPSS version 26.0 using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation and simple linear regression, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Findings: The findings revealed that teachers disagreed that teaching and learning resources were adequate (overall mean = 2.31), with digital learning resources (mean = 1.66) and classrooms and laboratories (mean = 1.92) rated lowest. Pupils’ accounts and school records corroborated these shortages. Teaching and learning resources had a strong, positive and statistically significant relationship with quality education (r = .858, p < .05) and explained 73.7% of its variation (R² = .737; β = 45.526, p < .05). Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study provides empirical support for the education production function in rural Kenyan primary schools. For policy, it recommends targeted and equitable resource allocation, especially for digital resources, classrooms, textbooks, sanitation facilities and staffing. For practice, it recommends that teachers move beyond sole reliance on textbooks and incorporate a variety of instructional materials such as visual aids, manipulatives, locally available resources and digital content to address diverse learning styles and improve learning outcomes.

هدف: هدف این پژوهش بررسی تأثیر منابع آموزشی و یادگیری بر کیفیت آموزش در مدارس ابتدایی دولتی شهرستان Machakos، کنیا بود. روش‌شناسی: این پژوهش از طرح پژوهش توصیفی با رویکرد ترکیبی کمی و کیفی بهره گرفت. جامعه هدف شامل ۴۰۳ مدیر، ۲۰۱۵ معلم پایه هشتم و ۷۵۶ دانش‌آموز پایه هشتم در مدارس ابتدایی دولتی روستایی (N = ۳۱۷۴) بود. نمونه‌ای متشکل از ۳۴۳ نفر با استفاده از فرمول Krejcie و Morgan تعیین و از طریق نمونه‌گیری هدفمند و تصادفی ساده انتخاب شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه‌های ساختاریافته برای معلمان پایه هشتم، بحث‌های گروهی متمرکز (FGDs) با دانش‌آموزان پایه هشتم و تحلیل اسناد سوابق مدارس ارائه‌شده توسط مدیران گردآوری شد. داده‌های کمی با استفاده از نرم‌افزار SPSS نسخه ۲۶.۰ و با بهره‌گیری از آمار توصیفی، همبستگی پیرسون و رگرسیون خطی ساده تحلیل شدند و داده‌های کیفی به صورت موضوعی مورد تحلیل قرار گرفتند. یافته‌ها: یافته‌ها نشان داد که معلمان با کفایت منابع آموزشی و یادگیری موافق نبودند (میانگین کلی = ۲.۳۱)، به‌طوری‌که منابع یادگیری دیجیتال (میانگین = ۱.۶۶) و کلاس‌های درس و آزمایشگاه‌ها (میانگین = ۱.۹۲) پایین‌ترین امتیاز را داشتند. اظهارات دانش‌آموزان و سوابق مدارس این کمبودها را تأیید کرد. منابع آموزشی و یادگیری رابطه‌ای قوی، مثبت و از نظر آماری معنادار با کیفیت آموزش داشتند (r = .858, p < .05) و ۷۳.۷٪ از تغییرات آن را تبیین کردند (R² = .737؛ β = ۴۵.۵۲۶، p < .05). نوآوری پژوهش در نظریه، عمل و سیاست: این پژوهش شواهد تجربی برای تابع تولید آموزش در مدارس ابتدایی روستایی کنیا ارائه می‌دهد. در حوزه سیاست، تخصیص هدفمند و عادلانه منابع، به‌ویژه برای منابع دیجیتال، کلاس‌های درس، کتاب‌های درسی، امکانات بهداشتی و نیروی انسانی توصیه می‌شود. در حوزه عمل، توصیه می‌شود معلمان فراتر از اتکای صرف به کتاب‌های درسی، از انواع مواد آموزشی مانند وسایل بصری، ابزارهای دست‌ورزی، منابع محلی و محتوای دیجیتال برای پاسخگویی به سبک‌های یادگیری متنوع و بهبود نتایج یادگیری استفاده کنند.

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.

BACKGROUND: In residential care for people with intellectual disabilities, support staff take over daily care responsibilities for residents with severe intellectual disabilities. However, parents often remain involved in their support. Yet little is known about the attitudes of support staff towards parental involvement in daily care. METHOD: A vignette-based, qualitatively driven mixed-methods study was conducted, using structured interviews with 33 participants. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the data, and descriptive statistics were provided about the participants' responses. RESULTS: The findings showed diverse cognitive, affective and behavioural responses to the vignettes. Staff were mainly sympathetic towards parental involvement but also highlighted moments of friction or uncertainty. CONCLUSIONS: Examining staff's attitudes provided insight into how (past) experiences shaped collaboration with parents. More insight into the coping strategies towards the emotional responses of parents and the impact of negative experiences is needed to sufficiently support staff in collaboration with parents.

زمینه: در مراقبت‌های اقامتی برای افراد دارای ناتوانی ذهنی، کارکنان حمایتی مسئولیت مراقبت‌های روزانه از ساکنان با ناتوانی ذهنی شدید را بر عهده می‌گیرند. با این حال، والدین اغلب همچنان در حمایت از فرزندان خود مشارکت دارند. با این وجود، اطلاعات اندکی درباره نگرش‌های کارکنان حمایتی نسبت به مشارکت والدین در مراقبت‌های روزانه وجود دارد. روش: یک مطالعه ترکیبی با محوریت کیفی مبتنی بر سناریو انجام شد و از مصاحبه‌های ساختاریافته با ۳۳ شرکت‌کننده استفاده گردید. برای تحلیل داده‌ها از تحلیل محتوای کیفی استفاده شد و آمار توصیفی درباره پاسخ‌های شرکت‌کنندگان ارائه شد. یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که پاسخ‌های شناختی، عاطفی و رفتاری متنوعی نسبت به سناریوها وجود دارد. کارکنان عمدتاً نسبت به مشارکت والدین همدل بودند اما همچنین به لحظاتی از اصطکاک یا عدم اطمینان اشاره کردند. نتیجه‌گیری: بررسی نگرش‌های کارکنان، بینشی درباره چگونگی تأثیر تجربیات (گذشته) بر همکاری با والدین فراهم کرد. برای حمایت کافی از کارکنان در همکاری با والدین، نیاز به بینش بیشتر درباره راهبردهای مقابله‌ای نسبت به واکنش‌های عاطفی والدین و تأثیر تجربیات منفی وجود دارد.

This study examines how Islamic madrasah curricula are often administratively replicated without embedding Islamic values or local wisdom. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, we surveyed 64 teachers and curriculum coordinators, then conducted 12 in-depth interviews. Quantitative analyses (descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, simple regression) revealed that 78% of documents received only superficial identity changes and only 27% of teachers participated actively. Teacher engagement correlated strongly with document originality (r = 0.62; p < 0.01), while supervisory effectiveness explained 28% of quality variation. Qualitative themes highlight teachers' technical unpreparedness, viewing curriculum as an administrative burden, and a need for on-site case-based coaching. We propose a participatory mentoring model combining on-site training and document review to boost teachers' technical capacity and foster authentic, reflective, context-relevant curricula. Recommendations focus on sustained supervisory policy and co-design of curricula by teachers and supervisors.

این پژوهش بررسی می‌کند که چگونه برنامه‌های درسی مدارس اسلامی (مدارس دینی) اغلب به‌صورت اداری تکرار می‌شوند، بدون آنکه ارزش‌های اسلامی یا خرد بومی در آن‌ها نهادینه شود. با استفاده از طرح پژوهش آمیختهٔ تبیینی متوالی، ابتدا از ۶۴ معلم و هماهنگ‌کنندهٔ برنامهٔ درسی نظرسنجی شد و سپس ۱۲ مصاحبهٔ عمیق انجام گرفت. تحلیل‌های کمی (آمار توصیفی، همبستگی پیرسون، رگرسیون ساده) نشان داد که ۷۸٪ اسناد تنها تغییرات ظاهری در هویت دریافت کرده‌اند و تنها ۲۷٪ معلمان به‌طور فعال مشارکت داشته‌اند. مشارکت معلمان با اصالت اسناد همبستگی قوی داشت (r = 0.62؛ p < 0.01)، در حالی که اثربخشی نظارت ۲۸٪ از تغییرات کیفیت را تبیین کرد. مضامین کیفی به ناآمادگی فنی معلمان، تلقی برنامهٔ درسی به‌عنوان یک بار اداری و نیاز به آموزش موردی در محل اشاره دارند. ما یک الگوی راهنمایی مشارکتی را پیشنهاد می‌کنیم که آموزش حضوری و بازبینی اسناد را ترکیب می‌کند تا ظرفیت فنی معلمان افزایش یافته و برنامه‌های درسی اصیل، تأملی و متناسب با زمینه ایجاد شود. توصیه‌ها بر سیاست نظارتی پایدار و طراحی مشترک برنامهٔ درسی توسط معلمان و ناظران تأکید دارد.
