program implementation

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.

Abstract Court-Ordered Treatment (COT) is used to address treatment non-adherence and psychiatric readmission in individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), who are at risk for treatment non-adherence and recurrent psychiatric hospitalization. Evidence regarding clinical outcomes associated with COT remains mixed, partly due to differences in legal frameworks and program implementation. To compare psychiatric readmission, outpatient appointment attendance, and long-acting injectable (LAI) medication adherence during COT and during the year following COT expiration in Arizona’s public behavioral health system. This exploratory, retrospective chart review identified 94 patients placed on COT between 2020 and 2021. Paired within-subject analyses included 29 patients whose COT expired and who completed a full one-year follow-up after COT expiration. Outcomes during COT were compared with outcomes during the year after COT expiration. Among the 29 patients analyzed, psychiatric hospital admission rates rose significantly from 10.3% (3/29) during COT to 34.5% (10/29) post COT expiration ( p = .039). Missed psychiatric appointments increased from 24.1% (7/29) during COT to 37.9% (11/29) after COT expiration, but this change was not statistically significant (p =.219). Among 19 patients with complete LAI follow-up data, 1 missed at least one scheduled LAI dose during COT compared with 4 after COT expiration ( p =.250). In this exploratory cohort, psychiatric readmissions were less frequent during COT than during the year following COT expiration. Both missed outpatient appointments and LAI doses were also more frequent after COT expiration, although these differences were not statistically significant, and the small sample limited the ability to detect meaningful differences. These findings should be interpreted cautiously given the small, selected cohort and retrospective observational design. Larger prospective studies are needed to further evaluate outcomes following COT expiration.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the factors influencing teachers’ job satisfaction using a middle school in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province, China. Research design, data and methodology: A quantitative research design was adopted. Questionnaire surveys were distributed to 90 teachers at a middle school in Tongchuan District using stratified random sampling. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the relationships between working hours, work pressure, organizational commitment, teacher self-efficacy, teacher career motivation, and job satisfaction. In addition, a 16-week strategic planning program was implemented with 30 teachers to improve job satisfaction. Paired sample t-tests were applied to compare the pre- and post-intervention results. Results: The multiple linear regression results show that organizational commitment, teacher career motivation, and teacher self-efficacy have significant positive effects on job satisfaction. Working hours and work pressure do not show significant direct effects in the regression model. After the program implementation, the paired sample t-test results indicate significant improvements in working hours, work pressure, organizational commitment, teacher self-efficacy, teacher career motivation, and overall job satisfaction. Conclusions: The findings suggest that school management practices that strengthen organizational commitment, support teachers’ professional motivation, and improve working conditions can enhance teachers’ job satisfaction. Practical actions such as flexible work arrangements, professional development opportunities, and participatory school governance may help improve teachers’ workplace experiences and support sustainable educational development.

Background and objectives Health literacy in adulthood plays a major role in an individual’s ability to use health information to benefit their health. Social determinants in early childhood initiate the development of health literacy through newborn brain development and oral language acquisition. Both of these processes are promoted by stimulation from everyday interactions with parents/caregivers at home and in the community. Unequal access to language-learning opportunities during early childhood represents a modifiable developmental and social determinant of later educational and health outcomes. There are inequities in these time-sensitive interactions—specifically language-learning opportunities—across families in the population, which are social determinants of early literacy, achievement in school, and later-life education, health, and economic and social well-being across the life span. This gap is most pronounced among children who grow up in poverty in the United States and internationally. The healthcare system in the United States effectively reaches to nearly all infants; however, language-learning opportunities are not a focus during well-child visits. The term “Language Nutrition” (LN) was coined in prior research to refer to these developmentally rich interactions known to support brain and language growth in children younger than preschool age. We developed Kansas City Brain Builders (KCBB) to address this inequity by promoting LN broadly among families and children in a community so that all children have a more equitable home language environment. The purpose of this study is to report longitudinal empirical findings on families and children related to the implementation of KCBB, a public health approach to community change, over 2 years. Methods The evaluation involved two parallel longitudinal studies: the Community study and the Family study. The Community study assessed the implementation of a KCBB multisectoral community partnership to promote LN-friendly changes in local programs, practices, and policies. The Family study involved longitudinal assessments of a sample of 83 English- and Spanish-speaking families with children younger than 36 months of age, evaluating the KCBB impacts on parental behaviors and child growth in language skills. Results KCBB led to a high level of documented program implementation and substantial LN promotion throughout the community. Repeated parent assessments indicated that participants had received LN messages from multiple community sectors over time, increased their knowledge of the importance of LN, and used LN through storybook reading, verbal responsiveness, and teaching behaviors during interactions with their children. Growth in children’s early language skills was significantly associated with the amount of LN they received. Discussion/Conclusion KCBB is one of the few multisectoral interventions designed to promote community-wide change targeting LN. It is a manualized intervention that can be replicated by other communities. This study employed three levels of measurement such that change could be evaluated in a theoretical framework of influence from community engagement to parental behavior and growth in child language skills. Findings provide preliminary evidence that a multisectoral community approach can achieve broad reach and is associated with changes in caregiver practices and child language growth. Larger, controlled, and replicated studies are needed to establish causal effects and determine whether such approaches reduce disparities in language-learning opportunities.

This study analyzes the implementation of the Nisaiyah Program at Pondok Pesantren An-Nur Darunnajah 8 Cidokom, Indonesia, a character education initiative specifically designed for female students (santri). It aims to evaluate the enabling factors, barriers, and overall effectiveness of the program in achieving its holistic character education objectives. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was applied, with data validity ensured via source triangulation. The findings reveal that while the Nisaiyah Program is underpinned by a sound conceptual design and strong leadership commitment, its effectiveness is significantly constrained by systemic challenges. Key impediments include inconsistent curriculum delivery, inadequate physical resources, a lack of a structured mentoring system, and managerial inefficiencies such as a saturated schedule and diffuse management ownership. Analysis through the lenses of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and Total Quality Management (TQM) principles demonstrates how the interplay of barriers within the inner setting and implementation process curtails the program's potential. The study concludes that the success of educational innovations within Islamic boarding schools necessitates a synergistic alignment of vision, robust operational systems, and dedicated resource allocation. The implications call for systemic improvements in curriculum fidelity, mentoring frameworks, and infrastructure. Future research should pursue longitudinal studies on the program's long-term impact, comparative case studies across pesantren, and investigations into strategies for cultivating positive peer cultures that reinforce program objectives

این مطالعه به تحلیل اجرای برنامه نسائیه در پوندک پسنترن ان‌نور دارالنجاح ۸ سیدوکوم، اندونزی، که یک ابتکار آموزش شخصیت به طور خاص برای دانش‌آموزان دختر (سانتری) است، می‌پردازد. هدف این پژوهش ارزیابی عوامل تسهیل‌کننده، موانع و اثربخشی کلی برنامه در دستیابی به اهداف جامع آموزش شخصیت می‌باشد. با بهره‌گیری از طرح مطالعه موردی کیفی، داده‌ها از طریق مصاحبه‌های عمیق، مشاهده مشارکتی و تحلیل اسناد گردآوری شدند. تحلیل تماتیک به کار گرفته شد و روایی داده‌ها از طریق مثلث‌سازی منابع تضمین گردید. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که اگرچه برنامه نسائیه بر پایه طراحی مفهومی قوی و تعهد رهبری مستحکم استوار است، اثربخشی آن به طور قابل توجهی توسط چالش‌های نظام‌مند محدود می‌شود. موانع کلیدی شامل اجرای نامنسجم برنامه درسی، منابع فیزیکی ناکافی، فقدان نظام منتورینگ ساختارمند و ناکارآمدی‌های مدیریتی نظیر برنامه زمانی اشباع و مالکیت پراکنده مدیریت می‌باشد. تحلیل از منظر چارچوب تلفیقی پژوهش اجرای مداخله (CFIR) و اصول مدیریت کیفیت جامع (TQM) نشان می‌دهد که تعامل موانع در محیط داخلی و فرایند اجرا، ظرفیت بالقوه برنامه را محدود می‌سازد. این مطالعه نتیجه می‌گیرد که موفقیت نوآوری‌های آموزشی در مدارس شبانه‌روزی اسلامی مستلزم هم‌راستایی هم‌افزا میان چشم‌انداز، نظام‌های عملیاتی قوی و تخصیص منابع متعهدانه است. پیامدهای پژوهش بر لزوم بهبود نظام‌مند در وفاداری به برنامه درسی، چارچوب‌های منتورینگ و زیرساخت‌ها تأکید دارد. پژوهش‌های آتی باید به مطالعات طولی درباره تأثیر بلندمدت برنامه، مطالعات موردی مقایسه‌ای در میان پسنترن‌ها و بررسی راهبردهای پرورش فرهنگ همسالان مثبت که اهداف برنامه را تقویت می‌کند، بپردازند.

This research is motivated by the importance of developing students' religious character as part of the effort to mold learners with noble character amidst the moral challenges of the modern era. The success of religious character development is inseparable from the management implemented by the school through the functions of planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. This study aims to describe the management of religious character development for students at SMKIT Khoiru Ummah and SMKIT Rabbi Radhiyya in Rejang Lebong Regency, covering the aspects of program planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving school principals, vice principals, supervising teachers, homeroom teachers, and students. Data analysis utilized the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing while data validity was verified through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results indicate that program planning is conducted through annual work meetings to establish objectives, programs, schedules, and success indicators. Organizing is carried out by assigning tasks based on competence through coordination among principals, vice principals, teachers, and program supervisors. Program implementation is realized through various religious habituation activities, such as congregational prayers, Tahsin and Tahfiz (Quranic recitation and memorization), Bina Pribadi Islam (Islamic Personal Development/BPI), the practice of Islamic etiquette (adab), and other religious activities. Supervision is conducted continuously through observation, monitoring, periodic evaluation, and follow-up actions based on evaluation results. Management implemented systematically through the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Implementing, Controlling) functions has proven capable of optimally supporting the formation of students' religious character in both schools.

The Tahfiz Model Ulul Albab (TMUA) integrates Quran memorisation into the national curriculum to develop well-rounded huffaz. Despite its implementation since 2014, concerns remain regarding the effectiveness of Hifz al-Quran teaching and learning (PdPc), particularly in relation to teacher competency, pedagogical practices and the integration of 21st Century Learning (PAK21) elements. This study evaluated TMUA implementation using the Context, Input and Process dimensions of the CIPP framework and examined differences in programme implementation according to teacher category, professional qualifications and exposure to PAK21-related In-Service Training (LDP). A quantitative cross-sectional survey involving 144 TMUA teachers from three Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) was conducted. Respondents were selected using proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the CIPP Evaluation Model and validated by seven experts. The findings revealed that the implementation level of the TMUA programme was high across the context, input and process dimensions. Independent-samples t-tests indicated no significant differences in the process dimension according to teacher category, t(142) = 0.469, p = .640 and professional qualifications, t(142) = 1.160, p = .209. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) further showed no statistically significant differences in the context, input and process dimensions according to teachers’ exposure to PAK21-related LDP, Pillai’s Trace = .040, F(3,140) = 1.948, p = .125, η² = .040. These findings indicate that TMUA implementation was relatively consistent regardless of teaching experience, professional qualifications and exposure to PAK21-related professional development training. The study highlights the need for more contextualised and specialised professional development initiatives that address the unique requirements of tahfiz education. The findings contribute empirical evidence towards strengthening teacher competency and enhancing the long-term effectiveness of TMUA implementation in Malaysian secondary schools.

مدل تحفیظ اولوالالباب (TMUA) با ادغام حفظ قرآن در برنامه درسی ملی، به منظور تربیت حفاظ جامع‌الاطراف طراحی شده است. با وجود اجرای این برنامه از سال ۲۰۱۴، همچنان نگرانی‌هایی در خصوص اثربخشی آموزش و یادگیری حفظ قرآن (PdPc)، به ویژه در ارتباط با شایستگی معلمان، شیوه‌های تدریس و ادغام عناصر یادگیری قرن بیست‌ویکم (PAK21) وجود دارد. این پژوهش، اجرای TMUA را با استفاده از ابعاد زمینه، ورودی و فرایند چارچوب CIPP ارزیابی کرده و تفاوت‌های اجرای برنامه را بر اساس دسته‌بندی معلمان، صلاحیت‌های حرفه‌ای و میزان آشنایی با دوره‌های ضمن خدمت مرتبط با PAK21 (LDP) بررسی نموده است. این مطالعه کمّی به صورت مقطعی و با مشارکت ۱۴۴ معلم TMUA از سه مدرسه متوسطه مذهبی ملی (SMKA) انجام شد. نمونه‌ها با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌بندی‌شده متناسب انتخاب شدند. داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه‌ای که از مدل ارزیابی CIPP اقتباس و توسط هفت متخصص اعتبارسنجی شده بود، گردآوری شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که سطح اجرای برنامه TMUA در ابعاد زمینه، ورودی و فرایند بالا بوده است. آزمون t مستقل تفاوت معناداری در بعد فرایند بر اساس دسته‌بندی معلمان، t(142) = 0.469, p = .640 و صلاحیت حرفه‌ای، t(142) = 1.160, p = .209 نشان نداد. همچنین تحلیل واریانس چندمتغیره (MANOVA) تفاوت معناداری در ابعاد زمینه، ورودی و فرایند بر اساس میزان آشنایی معلمان با LDP مرتبط با PAK21 نشان نداد، Pillai’s Trace = .040, F(3,140) = 1.948, p = .125, η² = .040. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که اجرای TMUA صرف‌نظر از سابقه تدریس، صلاحیت حرفه‌ای و میزان شرکت در دوره‌های توسعه حرفه‌ای مرتبط با PAK21 نسبتاً یکنواخت بوده است. این پژوهش بر ضرورت طراحی ابتکارات توسعه حرفه‌ای تخصصی و متناسب با نیازهای خاص آموزش تحفیظ تأکید می‌کند. یافته‌ها شواهد تجربی برای تقویت شایستگی معلمان و ارتقای اثربخشی بلندمدت اجرای TMUA در مدارس متوسطه مالزی ارائه می‌دهد.
