Abstract

Incorporating career-oriented teaching (COT) in technical-vocational education addresses challenges in graduates’ job readiness by emphasizing practical skills aligned with career interests. This study investigates the impact of COT on students’ self-regulation in biology, which is crucial for academic and career success. Quantitative analysis reveals that COT significantly enhances self-regulation skills, including decision-making, goal orientation, impulse control, and self-direction, compared to conventional science teaching (CST). Qualitative responses underscore the positive influence of COT on decision-making and goal orientation, with students setting positive goals and exhibiting improved impulse control. Moreover, COT fosters self-direction, promoting autonomy and responsibility for learning. These findings emphasize the importance of innovative teaching approaches like COT in developing students’ self-regulation abilities and preparing them for the demands of the modern workforce. Integrating concrete, problem-based tasks in COT and teacher training can further enhance its effectiveness in developing specialized skills and self-regulation. This research contributes valuable insights into instructional practices’ role in shaping students’ self-regulation and highlights the need to explore further innovative teaching strategies to support students’ holistic development.

Abstract

This study addresses the critical issue of enhancing students’ integrated biology-technical-vocational skills, essential for career readiness, by investigating the predictive role of self-regulation within a career-oriented pedagogical framework. Self-regulation, encompassing decision-making, goal orientation, impulse control, and self-direction, is recognized as vital for both academic achievement and career preparedness. Despite its importance, there is a gap in the literature regarding its influence on the development of integrated skills. To bridge this gap, the study employs a quasi-experimental design, utilizing analysis of variance (ANOVA) and simple linear regression on data from a representative sample. The findings reveal that self-regulation significantly predicts the acquisition of these integrated skills. The study concludes that enhancing self-regulation through targeted educational interventions is crucial for fostering students’ career-oriented skills. These insights contribute to educational psychology by highlighting the importance of self-regulation in skill development, offering practical implications for improving academic and vocational outcomes. Future research should further explore these relationships and their practical applications in educational settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the predictive relationship between academic resilience and cognitive flexibility among students in biology lessons enhanced by design thinking. Using an embedded quasi-experimental design, we compared the effects of design thinking-enhanced lessons with conventional engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate (5E)-based instruction on students' cognitive flexibility and academic resilience. The sample consisted of 97 students divided into experimental and control groups. Pre-test scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Levene's tests, confirming initial comparability. The normality of data was verified with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Regression analysis revealed that academic resilience significantly predicts cognitive flexibility, with resilience accounting for approximately 33.7% of the variance in cognitive flexibility. These findings underscore the importance of fostering academic resilience to enhance cognitive flexibility, mainly through innovative teaching methods like design thinking. The implications of this study suggest that integrating design thinking into biology education can effectively develop cognitive and emotional skills, better preparing students for complex problem-solving and adaptive learning. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the role of academic resilience in predicting cognitive flexibility. It offers practical recommendations for educators to incorporate resilience-building activities into their curricula. Further research is recommended to explore additional predictors of cognitive flexibility and their educational implications.

Abstract

Transdisciplinary thinking is crucial for addressing global challenges, yet standardized assessment tools for high school students are lacking. This study addresses this gap by developing and validating a transdisciplinary thinking scale (TTS) tailored for this demographic. Following established methodologies, the TTS was crafted through expert interviews, resulting in a 20-item scale. A pilot test with 402 senior high school students showed strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha=0.920) and a multidimensional structure: integrative thinking, inquiry skills, and collaborative problem-solving. The TTS supports existing models of transdisciplinary cognition, emphasizing it is multifaceted nature. This scale offers educators a reliable tool to assess and foster transdisciplinary thinking skills. Integrating TTS-informed pedagogies can better prepare students for the complexities of the 21st century, promoting integrative and collaborative problem-solving. Validating the TTS marks a significant advance in educational research, promoting integrative thinking essential for addressing contemporary challenges
