Abstract

To successfully embed the social-emotionallearning (SEL) model in the education sector, pre-service teachers must prepare for social-emotional competence (SEC). Unfortunately, studies on how pre-service teachers were trained and developed their SEC before practicing the SEL model in the teaching profession are lacking. This study focuses on discovering how to train and develop SEC for pre-service teachers within the framework of teacher undergraduate training programs in Vietnam, a developing country in Southeast Asia. We employed a convergent parallel mixed-method approach, utilizing both quantitative data (n=650) and qualitative data (n=23), which were subsequently integrated during the interpretation phase to derive comprehensive results. Our findings revealed that the current pre-service teachers had an average level of SEC, which was limited by: i) confusion in understanding SEC and SEL concepts; ii) the lack of professional supervision in undergraduate training; and iii) the unguaranteed need to foster SEC self-development and SEL-based practice training courses. These themes highlight the need to change the administrative policy in undergraduate teacher training programs to support and supervise the development of pre-service teachers’ SEL-based knowledge and practice in developing countries.

Abstract

This study analyzed the influence of university social responsibility (USR) on student satisfaction (SS), mediated by service quality (SQ). It is relevant because it provides empirical evidence of how socially responsible practices strengthen educational quality and student well-being in a Latin American context that remains underexplored through structural equation modeling (SEM). The objective was to explain how USR affects SS through SQ, using SEM. Specifically, the study examined the direct effect of USR on SS, its influence on SQ, the impact of SQ on satisfaction, and the mediating role it plays in this relationship. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design was employed with a sample of 505 undergraduate students from five Peruvian public and private universities, selected through non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected using three validated and reliable Likert-type scales. The results showed that USR significantly influenced SQ (R²=0.60) and that SQ predicted SS (R²=0.67), confirming a partial mediation effect. The findings provide practical implications for strengthening institutional policies to enhance SQ and increase SS.

Abstract

Teaching style is widely theorized to shape learners’ affective experiences in language classrooms, yet empirical evidence remains limited in Filipino language settings, an underexplored context compared with the extensive English-focused literature. This study examined the extent to which teaching-style dimensions influence students’ anxiety, motivation, and attitudes toward Filipino. Using a descriptive-correlational design with multiple regression analysis, data were collected from 120 Grades 7–10 students enrolled in the Integrated Laboratory School (ILS) of a state university. Three validated instruments were employed: a Filipino-adapted foreign language classroom anxiety scale (FLCAS), the attitude and motivation test battery, and a teaching-style inventory assessing authority, managerial, delegator, facilitator, and hybrid dimensions. Findings showed high levels of anxiety, motivation, and attitudes toward Filipino. Teaching style dimensions were positively associated with motivation and attitudes, but not with anxiety. Regression results further indicated that only the hybrid teaching style significantly predicted students’ attitudes, whereas no teaching-style dimension significantly predicted anxiety or motivation. These results provide context-sensitive evidence for Philippine multilingual classrooms, highlighting the practical value of hybrid teaching in strengthening positive attitudes while indicating that anxiety likely requires targeted interventions beyond teaching style alone.

Abstract

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) as an instructional approach has been popular amongst science, technology, engineering, mathematics disciplines, but the practice specifically in engineering education deserves further exploration. This study explores the impact of IBL on student engagement and learning within an engineering project management course. Using a case-study methodology, engineering students engaged in real-world problem-solving activities and provided feedback through a questionnaire assessing lecturer deliverables and IBL effectiveness. For this study, a questionnaire approach was adopted comprised of 34 questions compressed under two main groups. The distribution was made among engineering students of various disciplines. The descriptive and reliability analysis of the responses revealed that IBL positively influenced students’ engagement and problem-solving abilities, fostering a collaborative learning environment. However, students noted a high workload associated with IBL tasks, suggesting the need for careful assignment structuring. Overall, the study highlights IBL’s potential to enrich engineering education by aligning learning outcomes with industry demands, recommending that future implementations consider workload optimization to maintain balance. This research contributes to understanding effective pedagogical approaches in engineering, promoting student-centered learning that prepares students for professional challenges.

Abstract

This article examines the pedagogical use of action research (AR) in enhancing professional and problem-solving skills of prospective teachers in Kazakhstani secondary schools. The study involved twenty-seven pre-service and novice English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers, all of whom were master’s students at Kazakh National University. The study was implemented within the AR course integrated into the master’s program curriculum. To support participants’ understanding and practical application of AR, we designed “AR tree” model, a visual, cognitive and pedagogical scaffold. It was introduced to make the stages of AR more accessible for novice teachers. After presenting the model, semi-structured interviews were conducted with pre-service teachers to explore its pedagogical value for professional learning. The results indicate that the model strengthened connections between theory and practice, promoted reflective professional thinking, and enable novice teachers to systematically identify classroom challenges and develop pedagogically informed solutions. The study does not propose a new form of AR, instead, the model guided pre-service teachers through each phase, from finding a problem to developing interventions, reflecting with learners, and sharing results.

Abstract

Vocational skills are essential for underprivileged students, providing practical job training that enables self-sufficiency, breaks the cycle of poverty, and improves job opportunities. The study addresses a critical gap, focusing on teacher competency for underprivileged students in urban communities of Chiang Mai, ethnic minority or stateless individuals, facing complex barriers to accessing fundamental rights and services. The concept of novel transdisciplinary research, comprising 10 vocational experts, 10 academic professionals from Chiang Mai-based universities, 35 school leaders and educators, and 261 parents, selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through focus group discussions, field observations, workshops, and structured questionnaires, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and qualitative content analysis. Public participation was crucial in developing guidelines for enhancing teacher competencies. The resulting framework consists of three components: challenges encountered by teachers; teacher development curriculum covering content, developmental approaches, and collaborative development networks; and development outcomes, including eight fundamental and eight specific outputs, and outcomes for improved student quality of life, competencies, and vocational skills across defined aspects. These guidelines provide a novel framework (outputs and outcomes) that integrates socio-legal knowledge and vocational training to sustainably improve the educational experiences and quality of life of this specific target group.

Abstract

This study investigated the predictive relationship between achievement motivation and historical empathy among social studies university students. Using the achievement motives scale-revised (AMS-R) and the historical empathy scale-adult form (HES-AF), data were collected from 428 Egyptian university students aged 18-24 from education faculties at Al-Azhar University. Correlation analyses revealed significant positive relationships between achievement motivation dimensions (hope of success and fear of failure) and all historical empathy components (cognitive, affective, and behavioral). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that achievement motivation significantly predicted historical empathy, F(2, 425)=86.035, p<.001, explaining 28.8% of the variance. Hope of success emerged as the primary predictor (β=.478, p<.001), with approximately four times the predictive strength of fear of failure (β=.109, p=.018). These findings suggest that approach-oriented achievement motivation, particularly hope of success, is crucial in fostering empathetic understanding of historical content. The results provide theoretical insights into the psychological mechanisms underlying historical empathy and offer practical guidance for educators seeking to enhance empathetic engagement in social studies education through motivation-focused pedagogical approaches.

Abstract

International community service (ICS) is increasingly recognized as an effective approach for strengthening students’ global and intercultural competence. This study examined the impact of an ICS program conducted between State Islamic University of Kiai Ageng Muhammad Besari Ponorogo and Madrasah Utsmaniyah ABIM Penang, Malaysia, on students’ intercultural communication competence (ICC) and soft skills. Employing a mixed-methods convergent design, the study involved 12 participating students, faculty supervisors, ABIM coordinators, and local community leaders. Quantitative data were obtained through pre–post assessments using validated ICC and soft-skill scales, while qualitative data were collected through interviews, participant observation, and reflective journals. The findings indicate significant improvement across all ICC dimensions, including cultural awareness, sensitivity, communication skills, and reflective competence. Students also demonstrated notable enhancement in soft skills such as leadership, teamwork, adaptability, and empathy, supported by qualitative evidence of increased confidence, communicative flexibility, and ethical awareness during community engagement. Perspectives from supervisors and community stakeholders further corroborated the program’s effectiveness. Overall, the study highlights the value of culturally proximate international service-learning in fostering global competence within Islamic higher education and offers implications for developing sustainable cross-border community service initiatives in the ASEAN context.

Abstract

Innovative pedagogical approaches are increasingly essential in physiotherapy education to foster engagement and competency development. This multicenter cross-sectional study explored physiotherapy students’ perceptions of game-based learning (GBL) across six Portuguese higher education institutions. A total of 208 students completed a structured questionnaire assessing attitudes toward GBL in teaching–learning contexts and competency development. Results indicated generally positive perceptions of GBL, emphasizing its value for motivation, engagement, and integration of theoretical and practical learning. Transversal competencies—such as teamwork, communication, and empathy—were consistently recognized across academic years, while perceived benefits for technical skills increased with clinical exposure. Female students and those with prior health-related experience reported more favorable attitudes. However, students also highlighted limited curricular implementation and the need for clearer alignment between game activities and learning objectives, suggesting barriers at the institutional and pedagogical levels. These insights point to a gap between students’ enthusiasm and current educational practices, underlining the importance of structured guidance for integrating GBL effectively. Building on these findings, the student-perceived integration for novel education (SPINE) framework is proposed as a decision-making model to guide the pedagogically grounded GBL in physiotherapy curricula, emphasizing evidence-informed, context-sensitive, and sustainable implementation.

Abstract

Many assessment scales used to study organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in Latin American countries are adaptations of instruments developed in other cultural settings. In this regard, the objective of this study was to evaluate the structural validity and reliability of the organizational citizenship behavior scale for coworkers (ECCOCT) in Colombian university teachers. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with principal axis extraction and Oblimin rotation was used, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with robust maximum likelihood (MLR). Omega, average variance extracted (AVE), and heterotrait–monotrait ratio (HTMT) were calculated. Participants included 113 university teachers from the city of Manizales, Colombia. The EFA showed that of the five dimensions proposed by the theory, two accurately reflect OCB (OCB directed toward individuals (OCB-I) and OCB directed toward the organization (OCB-O)), explaining 64.2% of the variance. The two-dimensional model showed an excellent fit (χ²/gl=1.24; comparative fit index (CFI)=.977; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=.046). The reliability of the factors was ω=.90 and ω=.84. Convergent validity (AVE>.50) and discriminant validity (HTMT<.85) were corroborated. The ECCOCT in its two dimensions shows solid psychometric properties and constitutes a brief and valid instrument for assessing organizational citizenship in Latin American contexts.
