Abstract

Concerns among students have increased due to the use of test scores in decision-making, leading them to question whether their results accurately reflect their abilities, especially when they perceive subjectivity in rater scoring. This study explores the effects of rater bias on portfolio assessment scores among student teachers in the colleges of education in Ghana. A sample of 207 student portfolios, scored by tutors, was analyzed using a three-facet design model and the FACET software. The findings revealed that tutors exhibited varying rating behaviors, including severity, leniency, and halo effects. These differing rating patterns were found to impact the students’ portfolio scores, suggesting that the subjectivity of raters plays a crucial role in the assessment process.

Abstract

The research capability of Filipino teacher educators has been found to be lacking, which limits their ability to contribute effectively to academic research. This study aims to assess their foundational knowledge in research, as understanding their capability is essential for improvement. A quantitative approach was employed, evaluating 100 teacher educators from a state university in Northern Philippines using the research capability test (RCT), a validated criterion-referenced tool. Results showed that teacher educators generally possess average research capability, with significant differences based on educational attainment, field of specialization, and research teaching experience. Those with doctoral degrees, specializations in natural sciences and mathematics, and experience teaching research demonstrate higher capability. These findings suggest that, while basic research knowledge exists, there is a critical need for focused professional development programs to address specific gaps. Strengthening research capability not only improves the teacher educators’ performance but also enhances the overall quality of research outputs in the Philippine education system, ensuring long-term academic growth and global competitiveness.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics project-based learning (STEM-PjBL) on the collaborative problem solving (CPS) of preservice teachers (PSTs). The pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design was employed. A total of 72 PSTs enrolled in plant physiology course participated in this study. Self-assessment and project were used to evaluate PSTs’ CPS skills. Self-assessment scores were analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), while project scores were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. The results of self-assessment indicated that STEM-PjBL enhances CPS skills, particularly in social regulation, task regulation, and knowledge building. The results of the team’s problem-solving skills in completing the project did not differ between the two groups. But the result of integrated STEM skills showed that the STEM-PjBL group was better at integrating STEM disciplines into their project. This study highlights the importance of interdisciplinary projects in a PjBL environment that can be adopted by teacher preparation programs for enhancing PSTs’ CPS skills as well as gaining knowledge of STEM integration.

Abstract

This groundbreaking study unveils critical factors driving research utilization (RU) among Thai educators, offering vital insights for educational policymakers and administrators. Employing an advanced partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach, we examined data from 688 teachers under the office of the basic education commission. Our findings reveal a complex interplay of factors influencing RU, with organizational support (SUPP) emerging as the most potent driver (beta=0.570), followed by knowledge and research skills (KNOWS) (beta=0.539), organizational leadership (LEAD) (beta=0.472), and attributes of research (ATTR) (beta=0.391). Interestingly, ATTR showed the highest direct effect (DE) (beta=0.391), while LEAD had the strongest indirect impact (beta=0.429). Surprisingly, organizational climate (ORGA) showed no significant effect, challenging conventional wisdom. The study explains 52.5% of the variance in RU, providing a robust foundation for evidence-based educational reforms. Delve into our analysis to discover how these relationships between knowledge, leadership, and organizational dynamics shape educational RU in Thailand, and explore our recommendations for enhancing research integration in educational practices.

Abstract

Traditional lecture-based teaching methods prevalent in Philippine schools often lead to passive learning. By contrast, this study investigates the active engagement and enhanced conceptual comprehension facilitated by edutainment through Classcraft v.4.2.6, focusing on the least learned competencies of cell cycle and transport mechanisms. Expert evaluation of edutainment content affirmed its potential as a valuable educational tool. Students exposed to the edutainment method showed significantly improved learning outcomes compared to those taught via traditional lecture method, as validated by statistical analyses. However, challenges such as technological barriers and distractions were acknowledged. To optimize edutainment’s benefits, strategic design considerations and support mechanisms are recommended, including purposeful design, progressive complexity, and educator training. This study significantly updates knowledge in educational practices by highlighting edutainment’s efficacy. By challenging lecture-based teaching, it advocates for more engaging instructional approaches in Philippine secondary education, promising enhanced learning experiences and outcomes.

Abstract

In a rapidly changing world, early professional self-determination becomes critically important for young people. The aim of this study is to evaluate a model of psychological and pedagogical support designed to assist schoolchildren in making informed career decisions at early stages of education. The problem lies in the lack of effective support systems within educational institutions, leading to a mismatch between graduates’ career choices and their actual professions. The proposed solution is a comprehensive model that integrates psychological, pedagogical, and methodological support, tailored to individual needs. The study involved 180 children from three schools, divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group underwent a structured educational program that included self-assessment, exploration of career opportunities, goal setting, and enhancement of self-efficacy and motivation. Pre- and post-tests with developed scales were used to assess career clarity, self-efficacy, and motivation. The results showed that the support model significantly improved career clarity, self-efficacy, and motivation in the experimental group compared to the control group. Key improvements were observed in self-understanding, exploration of career opportunities, and goal setting. Thus, the developed model can aid in early professional self-determination, offering a valuable tool for educators and policymakers. Its implementation can better support students in their career choices, fostering their personal and professional growth.

Abstract

Leader motives elucidate the driving forces behind leadership behavior and decision-making, which are pivotal for understanding effective leadership dynamics across diverse contexts. In this context, the systematic literature review (SLR) analyzed leader motives among students, providing insights into the underlying drivers shaping leadership behaviors within educational environments. This paper aims to understand how leader motives impact student behavior, academic performance, and social dynamics within educational environments. Based on McClelland’s needs theory as a conceptual framework, the review examines students’ prevalence and manifestations of achievement, power, and affiliation motives. This study systematically reviewed 16 papers, scholarly databases, and pertinent literature published between 2007 and 2024. A preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) method was used to report the items. The findings underscore the importance of nurturing leader motives in educational settings, which contribute to positive student outcomes and foster leadership development through the lens of need theory. This study contributes to understanding how leader motives can elevate leadership behaviors and outcomes, offering valuable insights for policymakers and academic leaders aiming to enhance educational quality.

Abstract

Pronunciation learning is a crucial yet often neglected aspect of second language acquisition, particularly for English as a foreign language (EFL) learner. However, the factors influencing effective pronunciation learning strategies (PLS) remain underexplored. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the effects of self-efficacy sources (mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion, and physiological/emotional states) and attitude (cognitive, conative, and affective components) on the adoption of PLS among EFL learners in China. To explore these relationships, a quantitative approach was employed, using structural equation modeling to analyze data from 320 EFL students. The results reveal that self-efficacy sources, namely, mastery experiences and vicarious experiences, have a positive and significant effect on PLS, while verbal persuasion and psychological state have an insignificant impact on PLS. Moreover, findings indicate that cognitive and conative attitudes were found to have a positive and significant impact on PLS, whereas affective attitudes had no significant effect on PLS. This study contributes to the growing body of research on pronunciation learning by providing insights into how psychological factors can shape EFL learners’ strategy use, offering implications for language educators to support students in improving their pronunciation skills.
