Abstract

The organizational environment includes not only the landscape of a school, but also the components of school learning resources, student relations, communication-collaboration, decision-making and instructional innovation. According to the ministry of education, many schools do not have the new facilities needed for successful teaching and learning to meet the potential needs of the workforce. Further investigation is still needed as to how these elements make teachers enjoy a working environment, particularly in Kedah, Malaysia. It would also help the State department of education to address unresolved school issues. The aimed of this research is to examine primary school teachers' understanding of their teacher satisfaction and organizational environment. The design of this study was mix-method consisting of a survey (quantitative approach) and a semi-structured interview (qualitative approach). A sample of 220 teachers in 23 primary schools in Alor Janggus, Kedah participated in this study. On the other hand, a total of 20 teachers were interviewed to identify factors that would lead to teacher satisfaction at work and an organizational environment. The content analysis was used to identify the themes that emerged from the semi-structure interview. The themes emerged from the semi-structure interviews are student relationships, decision-making, school infrastructure, teamwork and educational creativity. Suggestions for future research are discussed in more detail.

Abstract

The integration of mobile technology is not a new thing nowadays. It became increasingly applied after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. Teachers need to use mobile technology devices widely to improve teaching effectiveness. This study aimed to explore the elements of teachers' acceptance of mobile technology as a learning alternative. The respondents consisted of 422 teachers in 24 secondary schools around Kedah, Malaysia. The results showed that teachers are impressed to integrate mobile technology based on three dimensions: effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, and habit. This situation reflects teachers' willingness to translate their pedagogical abilities through the medium of technology. It has also recognized that internal motivation and teachers' natural habits are the driving force behind integrating mobile technology as a teaching aid to digital technology. Thus, mobile technology is a trend of daily use and can be utilized as the most advanced pedagogical material to go through learning in the 21st century.

Several identified themes were discovered ie the importance of continuous improvement programs, quality management systems and readiness to implement the quality improvement practices. Future research should include the psychology aspects in testing the effectiveness of quality improvement practices.

Abstract

Drawing on social support theory, self-determination theory, and engagement theory, this study examines how teacher and parental support relate to academic performance in Chinese higher vocational colleges through learning engagement. This is one of the few studies in this context that integrates teacher support, parental support, and learning engagement in a single mediation model, clarifying how school- and home-based support systems work together to shape students’ academic performance. Together, these theories suggest that external support enhances performance primarily through engagement, which leads to the proposed mediation hypotheses. Survey data were collected from 360 students across three higher vocational colleges in Shandong Province, China. Using mediation analysis, results show that both teacher support and parental support significantly predict academic performance. Learning engagement partially mediates the relationships between teacher support and academic performance, and between parental support and academic performance, indicating that external support improves outcomes partly by strengthening students’ behavioural, emotional, and cognitive engagement in learning. Overall, the findings highlight learning engagement as a practical lever for enhancing performance in higher vocational education. Findings suggest strengthening home–school collaboration and implementing engagement-focused teaching strategies (e.g., supportive classroom interactions and autonomy-supportive practices) to increase learning engagement and improve academic performance.
