Abstract

This article aims to provide academic strategies that English teachers in Cambodia can use to reduce their reliance on grammar translation methods (GTM) in their classrooms. Recognizing the limitations of GTM and their potential negative impact on students' language proficiency, this article emphasizes the importance of applying teaching techniques and alternative teaching methods to improve learning outcomes in English. The article offers a series of practical recommendations, including task-based learning (TBL), communicative language teaching (CLT), and learner-centred approaches (LCA), to promote interactive and active language learning environments. These strategies encourage active participation, meaningful communication, and authentic language use, helping students develop their full English proficiency. Besides, the article highlights a new indication of why the mentioned methods are suitable for implementation in the Cambodian context. The article also sheds light on future research. Therefore, future studies can address the challenges of applying the mentioned techniques using quantitative and qualitative methods.

Abstract

The government considers women as the backbone of Cambodia's economy and society. Despite a good sign, the female parliamentary representation in Svay Rieng fluctuated in the last three mandates (60% in 2008 and 2013, 80% in 2018, and 60% in 2023). The study aims to investigate the “socioeconomic”, “traditional-cultural”, “family”, and “personal” factors affecting gender roles in political involvement in Svay Rieng province, to assess perceptions and attitudes regarding women's political engagement. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, administering surveys to 119 participants and semi-structured interviews with 8 women actively participating in politics and leadership roles, using snowball sampling. The findings emphasize 1) Family-factors (domestic responsibilities, violence, and lack of support) hinder women's political participation the most, 2) Personal factors: limited education and self-confidence, 3) Socio-economic obstacles (the social devaluation of women, violence against women, limited outreach initiatives, and the impact of economic crises), and 4) Traditional customs, cultural norms including prescribed gender roles further contribute to the challenges faced by women in politics. Despite these obstacles, the study identifies positive perceptions and attitudes towards women's political participation. Participants underlined the need to empower women at both the national and sub-national levels, as well as fostering capacity development and extending possibilities. The recommendations include adopting gender equality legislation, increasing awareness, improving capacity-building programs, providing supportive infrastructure, engaging male allies, promoting cooperation, and assuring long-term commitment. A future study should look at additional elements that may impact women's political engagement, as well as evaluate the efficiency of existing policies for empowering women in Svay Rieng.

Abstract

English holds paramount significance as a global language, widely employed by diverse nations, including Cambodia, where it functions as a foreign language. Particularly in Cambodia, English has become indispensable for tertiary education. Employing a mixed methods approach, this study surveyed 183 university students, with ten subsequently participating in voluntary interviews. The findings indicate that students predominantly exhibit extrinsic motivation in their approach to English reading, with no discernible variance based on gender. The research also proposes several strategies for educators to enhance students' reading motivation, identifying the strategy of having students explain their comprehension to others as particularly efficacious. The study underscores the significance of English reading and elucidates the challenges students encounter in related activities. Ultimately, the study advocates for future investigations with larger sample sizes to further enrich scholarly insights.

Abstract

This literature review critically assesses the pros and cons of self-study and self-management, shedding light on their impact on individual learning. The self-study provides flexibility, allowing undergraduate students to customize schedules and fostering autonomy and motivation. However, challenges like maintaining discipline and overcoming isolation are recognized. The review explores psychological benefits, such as improved time management and enhanced problem-solving, alongside drawbacks like procrastination. Affective self-management activities, including goal-setting and active learning, emerge as crucial for self-study success. Future research suggestions include exploring the role of emerging technologies, studying cultural factors, and proposing longitudinal research to assess the sustained effects of self-management activities.

Abstract

Different types of leaders work in various settings. School directors have always been regarded as essential individuals in school settings, and they are usually regarded as sample individuals for teachers and other educational staff. The current study investigates high school teachers' perceptions of directors' transformational leadership (DTL) in four Cambodian provinces, concentrating on five essential dimensions: idealized influence (attributes), idealized influence (behaviours), inspirational motivation, individual consideration, and intellectual stimulation. Six hundred thirty-nine teachers participated in the study, indicating favourable evaluations of their directors' leadership methods. Although most variables exhibited uniform perceptions, the findings revealed significant differences in inspiring motivation and individual consideration, especially amongst Kampong Cham and Kampong Chhnang teachers. Teachers in Kampong Cham indicated elevated perceptions of motivation and personalized support from their directors, implying that the efficacy of leadership may differ by provincial settings. These findings emphasize the significance of comprehending local dynamics in educational leadership and reinforce the essential function of DTL in cultivating a supportive and motivated atmosphere for teachers. The study underscores the necessity for customized leadership approaches to elevate teacher satisfaction and promote educational findings in Cambodian schools. Last, but not least, it is recommended that future studies be conducted in provinces other than the four that were part of the current study and that the number of participants is increased. Additionally, combination designs and qualitative designs are recommended.

Abstract

English language performance at higher education level is very important. To improve the learning performance of undergraduates, it is essential to identify the associated factors that could contribute to this enhancement. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the triple dimensions, including personality, academic performance, and family relations of the undergraduates, as well as the association between these dimensions. The study used a quantitative correlational research design involving 100 samples. The data on the triple aspects was gathered through standardized questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and P-value were adopted for data analysis. The study found that the overall mean score for personality was 3.26, indicating slightly above the medium level, and the mean score for academic performance was 2.30, indicating below the medium level. The mean score for family ties was 3.99, which indicates that the family is above the medium level. In addition, the research found that the undergraduate’s academic performance and personalities were statistically and positively associated with their family relations with (r = 0.378, p = 0.000) and (r = 0.362, p = 0.000) accordingly. The findings suggested the importance of fostering positive family relations, enabling undergraduates to develop positive personalities and improve academic performance. Future studies can be conducted using bigger sample sizes.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study is part of a bigger quantitative research design aiming to extract the initial teacher collective efficacy and convergent validity. Methodology: This study collected data from 619 teachers in secondary resource schools. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were employed using SPSS and Mplus software to assess validity and reliability. Main Findings: EFA identified two factors with eigenvalues of 5.13 and 1.54, accounting for 55.58% of the variation in teacher collective efficacy. The EFA results showed a single-dimensional factor representing teacher collective efficacy. CFA confirmed that all nine indicators had strong, statistically significant loadings (p < 0.001) ranging from 0.65 to 0.78. Fit indices (CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.96, SRMR = 0.028, RMSEA = 0.057) indicated a very good model fit, supporting the construct validity of the scale. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study advances knowledge by validating the measurement of teacher collective efficacy through rigorous statistical analysis. It provides empirical evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the scale, contributing to a better understanding of collective efficacy in secondary resource schools.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study was to investigate students’ attitudes toward cooperative learning, their levels of academic achievement, the relationship between these two dimensions, and the reasons behind their demonstrated attitudes. Methodology: This explanatory sequential mixed methods design was employed, and the convenient sampling technique was adopted to choose 422 students and 7 teachers studying and working at two Generation Schools (NGSs). A survey questionnaire and interview protocol were utilized to collect the data. The statistics, such as percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the independent samples t-test, were used to analyze the data. Main Findings: The findings indicated that students’ attitudes towards cooperative learning were highly positive. The reason behind students’ attitudes towards cooperative learning focuses on its value and benefits. That is to say, students valued cooperative learning for its benefits, including the development of social skills and cognitive domain, stress reduction, enjoyment, and learning performance. However, they had some concerns, including time-consuming, conflicting interests, and potential grade drawbacks in terms of their final course grade. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study revealed that cooperative learning improves social skills, cognitive growth, and stress reduction, but students are also concerned about efficiency and fairness in grading. Accordingly, this study shed light on the practical and emotional problems of cooperative learning that were generally missed in the literature. The findings would also provide a more complete knowledge of cooperative learning's adoption in education by bridging theoretical advantages and real-world student concerns.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to review the literature on leadership in comparison to transformational leader practices in education and explore the roles, challenges, and its effects. Methodology: This study presents a comprehensive literature review on transformational leadership in education, examining existing knowledge through a wide array of sources, including books, scholarly articles, reports, and credible online sources. Rather than relying on quantitative data and statistical analysis, this research emphasizes an in-depth exploration of the underlying principles and practical applications of transformational leadership in educational contexts. Main Findings: The findings from this study provide policymakers, educators, scholars, and academics with valuable insights into transformational leadership as a powerful driver of organizational change in education. Transformational leaders, through a clear vision for the future, enable staff to elevate organizational performance by moving from low to high achievement levels. By articulating and fostering a shared purpose, transformational leaders empower their teams to implement strategies that directly improve school outcomes. Transformational leadership in education stands as a powerful tool for driving positive change. By inspiring a shared vision, stimulating intellectual growth, building strong relationships, modeling ethical behavior, and empowering individuals, transformational leaders can create a sustainable and impactful legacy in schools. Novelty/Originality of this study: Unlike the other review, this provides uniquely synthesic comparision of transformation leadership style in Western and ASEAN case studies in education with the integration of transformational leadership practices and adaptation with the context of Industry 4.0.
