Abstract

This study aims to explore the use of ACTFL standards in Arabic language listening comprehension tests at the Novice level. The ACTFL standards for the Novice level are divided into three sub-levels: Novice High, Novice Mid, and Novice Low. This research employs a qualitative approach through literature review, analyzing the "Skills Guide" by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and other relevant literature such as articles and books. The analysis reveals that a well-structured Arabic listening comprehension test for Novice learners consists of 5 questions based on ACTFL standards: 20% of the questions are at the Novice High level (3 questions), 50% are at the Novice Mid level (4 questions), and 30% are at the Novice Low level (3 questions). The findings highlight the importance of aligning language proficiency assessments with ACTFL standards to ensure effective learning outcomes at the beginner level. The implications of this research suggest that such tests can better gauge the listening comprehension skills of novice learners, thus improving the quality of language instruction.

The population for the study comprised all the staff and students from the six federal universities in southwestern Nigeria. A sample of 300 staff and 300 students were selected from the three selected universities using simple random and disproportional sampling techniques. Three instruments were adopted for the study: Academic Staff Complaints Satisfactory Questionnaire (ASCSQ), Non Academic Staff Complaints Satisfactory Questionnaire (NASCSQ) and Students Complaints Satisfaction Questionnaire (STCSQ). Descriptive statistics was used to answer the two research questions raised for the study. The results reveals that the way the sampled universities handle complaints could be said to be in orderly manner and that students have good perception about how the complaints is being handled. The study recommends that Nigerian universities should put in place an Ombudsman office that will handle disputes among students and staff independently and provide a preventive mechanism that will not allow the emergence of complaints from staff.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of reflective practice on the professional practices and reflective thinking levels of science teachers in Senior High Schools and Senior High Technical Schools in Ghana. The research aims to assess how reflective practice influences teachers' engagement with professional standards, such as planning and preparation, instruction, classroom environment, and professional responsibility. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative data from a structured questionnaire and qualitative analysis of teachers' written reflections. A total of 51 science teachers from three schools participated, representing urban, peri-urban, and rural settings. The results showed that reflective practice had an average impact on planning and preparation, instruction, and classroom environment, but a low impact on professional responsibility. Most teachers engaged in reflective practices at the "Habitual Action" and "Understanding Reflection" levels, with none reaching the "Critical Reflection" stage. The study highlights the need for further support in developing deeper reflective practices, particularly critical reflection, to improve teaching effectiveness and foster professional growth. The findings suggest that schools should integrate structured reflection opportunities into teacher evaluations and offer professional development focused on fostering transformative reflective practices for sustained improvement in teaching and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores the application of Online Project-Based Learning (PBL) as an innovative pedagogical model designed to enhance student engagement and skill development in the digital era. With the rise of information and communication technologies, Online PBL has emerged as a flexible and accessible alternative to traditional learning methods. This research examines various online PBL models implemented in educational settings, focusing on platforms like Learning Management Systems (LMS), social media integration, and online collaboration tools such as Google Workspace and Microsoft Teams. The findings highlight the benefits of these models in fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and technological proficiency. However, the study also identifies challenges such as limited access to technology, the lack of face-to-face interaction, and difficulties in assessing student performance. The paper concludes with recommendations for overcoming these challenges, including teacher training, improved technological infrastructure, and curriculum adjustments to support the successful integration of online PBL. The implications for future educational practices and the continued evolution of PBL in digital learning environments are discussed.

Abstract

This research aims to 1) develop the Formative Assessment Platform (FAP) to assess and enhance learners' competencies, and 2) evaluate the effectiveness of the FAP platform in fostering students' competencies across 100 schools in four provinces of Thailand: Surin, Sa Kaeo, Krabi, and Lampang. The FAP platform enables teachers to monitor student behaviors, record data, and provide personalized feedback, targeting four core competencies: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study employed a pre-test and post-test design with quantitative data from 197 teachers and 2,454 students. Qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with teachers. The results show that teachers were highly satisfied with the FAP platform (average satisfaction score of 4.54 out of 5), particularly in terms of ease of use (4.71) and perceived benefits (4.65). Students demonstrated significant competency development, especially in collaboration (effect size = 0.71) and creativity (effect size = 0.65), with an overall effect size of 0.57. The study recommends scaling up the FAP platform to further enhance Thai education quality by improving teacher training, supporting the integration of the platform, and developing competency-focused curricula. Future research should explore the long-term impact of FAP on student outcomes, compare its effectiveness with other platforms, and investigate factors influencing its sustained use.
