Abstract

The present research study examined the effectiveness of skimming and scanning techniques in enhancing students' reading comprehension, particularly in fostering their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in learning reading comprehension. Thus, this research aimed to investigate the efficacy of using skimming and scanning as reading strategies to improve students' achievement in reading comprehension at a public high school in Battambang. The study involved students at the elementary level of Lvea High School in Bavel District, Battambang Province. The total population consisted of 350 students with 47 students chosen as the sample for this research through purposive sampling. The researcher employed an experimental design with one class receiving the treatment. Data were collected through a pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. The mean score of the post-test (77.48) was higher than the mean score of the pre-test (32.03). Additionally, the t-score (8.62) was greater than the t-table value (2.013) at a significance level of p<0.05 for a two-tailed test, with a degree of freedom of 46. Furthermore, the questionnaire results showed that most of the students responded positively to use skimming and scanning techniques in reading comprehension. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that skimming and scanning techniques significantly enhance students' reading comprehension achievement and are appropriate for implementation.

Abstract

This study examines the perceptions and implementation of the teacher professional ethics (TPE) code within the Cambodian education system. The TPE code is recognized as a crucial framework for enhancing teacher professionalism, integrity, identity, leadership, and educational practices; empirical evidence regarding its perception and implementation remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore participants’ understanding of TPE code; identify perceived barriers to its effective implementation; assess its implementation effectiveness; and propose constructive suggestions to address unethical practices. A qualitative research design was employed using in-depth interviews with 20 participants, consisting of one director, seven teacher trainers, and twelve teacher trainees at a teacher education institution in Cambodia. Data were analyzed thematically to identify key patterns and insights. The findings reveal that participants generally perceive TPE code as a set of rules, professional responsibilities, moral guidelines, and a tool for professional development and social recognition. However, its implementation is hindered by both internal factors (low motivation, limited understanding, economic pressures, and time constraints) and external factors (inadequate institutional support, social influences, and weak enforcement mechanisms). The implementation of TPE code is considered moderately effective, particularly in promoting ethical conduct, teaching practices, collaboration, and professional responsibilities. The study highlights the importance of continuous professional development, institutional support, effective leadership, and motivational strategies to strengthen ethical practices. It also recommends future research to expand methodological approaches and participant scope, as well as to explore the impact of leadership and institutional management on the successful implementation of teacher professional ethics.
