Analysis of the scientific and methodological literature indicates that the issue of scientific and methodological support for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is insufficiently addressed, particularly for the age group of 7-9 years, which is the focus of this study. The aim of the research is to develop and empirically demonstrate a method for adaptive physical education for children with autism aged 7-9 years. The study involved 20 children attending a neurological rehabilitation center and a general education school. The methodology included the use of paired t-tests to compare indicators before and after the intervention. Key findings included significant improvements in physical indicators such as lung vital capacity (LVC), hand strength, and motor coordination. The practical significance of this research lies in the development of an effective adaptive physical education program that can be implemented in educational and rehabilitation institutions to support children with ASD. Future research prospects include increasing the sample size and conducting long-term observations to examine the sustainability of the obtained results.

Emotions are related to the motivation to learn, being necessary the development of courses designed to improve the appreciation for mathematics. The study determined the effect of a learning program focused on the management of emotions on the appreciation of mathematics in students of a private university in northeastern Peru. A quasi-experimental design study was planned in which 108 students of the first cycle of psychology, initial and elementary education careers who were taking the subject of logical thinking during the first academic semester of 2019 participated. Data were collected through a pre- and post-intervention survey, using a questionnaire consisting of 39 items evaluated by experts and with a Cronbach’s coefficient of 0.95 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired samples t-test. The program consisted of 15 learning sessions that included pedagogical strategies to activate students’ thoughts of interest in mathematics. After the application of the program, the level of appreciation in each of the groups increased significantly from pretest to posttest (p<0.000). The intervention positively influenced students’ appreciation in mathematics. Thus, emotional management can be an effective strategy to improve attitudes in higher education, and this approach can be replicated in other educational levels and disciplines.

The increasing adoption of English as the instructional language in Vietnamese higher education has created significant learning barriers for rural students. Their under-resourced schools and a communicative English-neglected curriculum provided limited foundations prior to engaging in lectures, presentations, and discussions now conducted exclusively in academic English. Rural students often face significant challenges when transitioning into this demanding academic environment due to their limited prior exposure to English and the disparities in educational resources between rural and urban areas, yet there is limited understanding of their experiences and coping mechanisms. This study examines the challenges faced by rural Vietnamese undergraduate English majors and investigates their coping strategies in achieving academic competency. Using semi-structured interviews, this case study investigated three Vietnamese undergraduate English majors from low-income, rural backgrounds at an urban university. The findings revealed two key dimensions: i) participants initially experienced significant challenges including skill deficits across all language domains and identity struggles manifesting as feelings of inadequacy and isolation and ii) students developed a comprehensive set of coping strategies encompassing language learning, social support, and psychological adaptation. The study highlights the necessity of implementing multi-dimensional support systems that address not only language learning but also social and psychological aspects of academic adaptation. Such comprehensive support, through precision language education, can promote more equitable access and inclusion in language education.

Despite the potential benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) brings to education, its extensive use does not automatically guarantee effective integration or consistent improvements in learning. Hence, this research aims to identify the determinants of AI acceptance among undergraduates and examine the relationship between these determinants and AI acceptance. Five determinants of AI acceptance were identified based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and empirical evidence: perceived effectiveness of AI, user satisfaction, user attitude toward AI technology, attitude toward using AI, and user self-efficacy. This quantitative study focused on 791 undergraduates from a management school in Malaysia. A questionnaire was distributed to 310 undergraduates using a stratified sampling method, and 259 responses were collected. Descriptive analysis results indicated that undergraduates perceive attitudes toward AI technology and using AI as very important determinants of AI acceptance. Pearson correlation analysis also revealed that four determinants (perceived effectiveness of AI, satisfaction in using AI, attitude towards AI technology, attitude towards using AI) significantly correlated with AI acceptance. This finding suggests that, within the context of AI acceptance among management school undergraduates, attitude-related determinants are the primary drivers. The findings from this research could be used by the management school as a reference to enhance undergraduates’ AI acceptance levels and identify areas for inclusive education system improvement.

This study explores the various dimensions of stress experienced by engineering college teachers and their impact on job satisfaction. The research specifically examines the relationship between stress factors and job satisfaction among faculty members in engineering colleges in the western region of Tamil Nadu. A cross-sectional research design was used in this study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 210 faculty members between June and December 2023, employing a convenient sampling method. The questionnaire comprised three sections: demographic details, stress dimensions, and job satisfaction variables, which were adapted from previous studies. Reliability testing ensured data consistency and factor analysis identified core stress dimensions. Multiple regression analysis was applied to assess the influence of stress dimensions on job satisfaction, while correlation analysis examined relationships between the variables. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Key findings revealed that organizational climate, role conflict, professional and personal growth, and role ambiguity significantly influence job satisfaction. However, role overload did not show a notable impact. A strong correlation between professional growth and job satisfaction was observed, highlighting a critical area for targeted interventions. These insights provide valuable guidance for policymakers in academic institutions to develop effective strategies to mitigate faculty stress and enhance job satisfaction within the academic environment.
