Abstract

Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are highly used in assessing students’ learning outcomes due to their versatility in promoting test content validity. Nevertheless, teachers experience psychometric challenges in constructing quality MCQs. This study investigated primary school teachers’ competence in constructing quality MCQs in Dar es Salaam Region, Tanzania. Specifically, we examined teachers’ competence in constructing quality MCQs, analyzed the types of item-writing flaws (IWFs) found in teacher-made MCQs, and examined the challenges that teachers encounter in constructing quality MCQs. The study was guided the by classical test theory (CTT) and it employed a mixed-method research approach. In particular, data collection and analysis were conducted using a concurrent triangulation design. A total of 213 MCQs constructed by 20 teachers from ten primary schools were collected and analyzed. The results indicated that primary school teachers were less competent in constructing quality MCQs as 156 (73.2%) of the teacher-made MCQs assessed lower levels of Bloom’s cognitive domain. Similarly, most of the MCQs had IWFs, with 274 (69.2%) having test wiseness flaws and 122 (30.8%) having irrelevant difficulty flaws. The findings call for capacity building to promote teachers’ competence in constructing quality test items.

Abstract

In a dynamic socio-economic world, perceiving a career opportunity and job prospects has become complex. The number of unemployed individuals is rising despite the increasing number of students pursuing higher education. This study is suggested to enhance students’ professional insertion, guide their career development initiatives, and help them acquire the skills demanded by prospective employers, thereby increasing their likelihood of employment. For this goal, this study investigates the determinants impacting self-perceived employability (SPE) among engineering students. Following a quantitative approach to explain how personal and contextual factors impact perceived employability, more than 350 Moroccan engineering students responded to a questionnaire for data collection, which had an internal consistency of 0.90. Data analysis employing advanced statistical techniques using structural equations modeling (SEM) to conduct descriptive, regression, and mediation analysis. The findings highlight that academic performance, university contribution, and personal circumstances significantly influence perceived employability, while generic skills have a minor effect. Furthermore, personal determinants are identified as stronger than contextual ones. The results provide several recommendations to stakeholders such as university administrations, teaching staff, employers, the Ministry of Education, and graduates. Additionally, they offer an insightful exploration of the intricate interactions among factors that enhance employability.

Abstract

Pro-environmental behavior is essential for mitigating climate change, with climate change knowledge often considered a prerequisite for fostering intentions toward such behaviors. However, the specific types of climate change knowledge that most effectively promote pro-environmental behavior remain unclear, indicating a need for further investigation. This survey was conducted among 308 randomly selected Form Two students (average age 14) to respond to a questionnaire consisting of 24 items. The study aimed to explore the relationship between various types of climate change knowledge and students’ intention to engage in pro-environmental behavior. Using SPSS version 25.0 software, both descriptive and inferential analyses (correlation and multiple regression) were conducted. Findings revealed that students had the highest level of knowledge regarding mitigation actions, followed by knowledge of the causes and impacts of climate change respectively. All three types of knowledge were significantly and positively correlated with the intention to engage in pro-environmental behavior. Regression analysis showed that students’ knowledge on mitigation actions influence the most to the intention compared to the other types of climate change knowledge. The study recommends enhancing students’ understanding of the causes of climate change, which could, in turn, improve their knowledge of impacts and better guide their mitigation actions, ultimately fostering higher levels of pro-environmental behavior.

Abstract

In globalization, possessing intercultural communicative competence (ICC) is essential for individuals’ success. However, students face motivational barriers in online intercultural learning. Thus, this study aims to explore the effectiveness of integrating gamification with self-determination theory (SDT) to enhance the intrinsic motivation, ultimately aiding in the development of intercultural communication competence among Chinese vocational college students enrolled in online English intercultural learning. Employing a mixed-methods approach involving pre-post questionnaires and interviews, the study engaged 38 vocational college students from the automobile and rail transit faculty in a four-week online English intercultural learning module enriched with gamified elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, levels, and quests. The findings indicate that gamified learning effectively fulfills students’ needs for competence and autonomy, partially addressing their needs for relatedness and consequently fostering an upsurge in intrinsic motivation. Additionally, improvements were observed in knowledge, attitude, and skill, with marginal changes noted in awareness. It is concluded that gamified learning approaches based on SDT can positively contribute to the development of intrinsic motivation and intercultural communication competence. These findings hold practical implications for educational institutions and researchers to cultivate intrinsic motivation and ICC through online gamified learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of socioeconomic factors on the creative thinking of teenagers in Kazakhstan, as perceived by parents and teachers. Creative thinking is recognized as a vital skill in modern education, yet its relationship with socioeconomic factors remains underexplored in the Kazakh context. This research addresses this gap by examining how school and family environments, shaped by socioeconomic status (SES), impact teenagers' creative abilities. Using a combination of open and closed-ended questionnaires, data were collected from 121 parents and 922 teachers across Kazakhstan. Spearman correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between SES and creative thinking, with higher socioeconomic conditions correlating with greater creativity. These findings suggest that enhancing socioeconomic conditions in educational and family settings can foster creative thinking in teenagers. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for targeted educational policies that address socioeconomic disparities to support creative development in students.
