Abstract

In line with the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky, the aim of the present study is to examine the effect of the dramatic play activities program on the early literacy skills of preschool children. The study is based on an experimental research design with pretest-posttest and control group. While the dependent variable of the study is children’s early literacy skills, the independent variable is dramatic play activity. Early literacy test (EROT) was used as data collection tool. The participants of the present study consist of 32 children divided equally as the participants of the experimental and control group. The age of the children is between 63-72 months. The children in the experimental group participated in a program of dramatic play activities over a period of 10 weeks, 5 days each week, 2 hours daily for 100 hours in total. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), t-test, and descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the data. In line with the data obtained in the present study, dramatic play activity program positively affects the early literacy skills of preschool children in terms of receptive language and expressive language vocabulary acquisition, naming skills, functional knowledge, and listening comprehension skills.

Abstract

The application of digital technologies to teach mathematics is increasing and how educators use these tools and their impact on the performance of students needs to be sufficiently researched. In this study, we explore middle school mathematics teachers’ utilization of Algebra Nation (AN), an online instructional resource, to supplement instruction and improve the performance of their mathematics students, particularly in algebra. A survey was conducted involving 596 teachers and a quasi-experimental trial. We examined the relationship between AN use and Algebra I end-of-course (EOC) exam performance. The findings showed that engagement in AN observed through student login, video watches, and professional teacher development is associated with improved student’s success rates in mathematics. This study also revealed that challenges such as digital disparity, data privacy issues, and professional teacher development were identified to impact the effective implementation of digital technologies in teaching mathematics. This study recommends that there should be systematic integration of web resources, combined with targeted teacher training to significantly enhance mathematics instruction. These conclusions inform future technology adoption and policymaking, with emphasis on equal access and systemic teacher support.

Abstract

Emotional labor at work typically manifests through surface acting and deep acting. This phenomenological study examines the emotional labor experienced by 15 international Filipino teachers working in the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand. Guided by self-determination theory (SDT), the research explores their reasons for teaching abroad, as well as the challenges they face and how they navigate them emotionally. A qualitative design was employed using semi-structured interviews and framed narratives. Each participant engaged in one individual interview and one focus group discussion. Data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to generate key themes. Findings show that deep acting involves emotional control, display of positive emotions, emotional exhaustion, experience of negative emotions, and emotional indifference toward self. In contrast, surface acting includes masking emotions, projecting artificial feelings, and withdrawal behaviors. The five major themes emerged as contributing factors to emotional labor: cultural adjustment, language barrier, professional challenges, limited support networks, and work-life balance. Coping strategies identified include emotional regulation, positive cognitive response, support from family and peers, and participation in recreational activities. These nuanced findings offer important insights for international teacher preparation, emotional well-being, and future research on cross-cultural educational contexts.

Abstract

This study addresses the gap between traditional informatics teacher training in Kazakhstan and the practical demands of modern classrooms. It explores the integration of dual education and the informaticedu.kz digital platform as a means to enhance methodological and practical competencies among future teachers. A mixed-methods design was used, involving 24 students from Pavlodar Pedagogical University. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and qualitative interviews. Quantitative responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and correlation analysis, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. The findings showed that the platform significantly supported lesson planning and methodological development, particularly among 4th-year students who rated the tool more positively than 3rd-year students. High correlations were found between understanding lesson structure and effective planning. However, participants reported a lack of interactive content such as case studies and problem-solving tasks. The results suggest that integrating dual education with specialized digital platforms enhances informatics teacher training. Still, to maintain relevance and effectiveness, platforms must evolve to include more interactive and adaptive features tailored to different training stages.

Abstract

The challenges met in academic achievement of learners in mathematics at secondary school level are enormous. Taking a glance at the academic achievement of learners in mathematics in Uganda, poor academic achievement becomes more and more striking. It is a puzzle to understand the origin of the causes of this poor academic achievement despite the prominence and significance bestowed upon it by the Ugandan government and society at large. It is accepted that ways mathematics is taught have high impact on learners’ achievements. Therefore, an investigation on the effect of practical instruction (PI) on learners’ academic achievement in mathematics is timely. The study was carried out using a total of 383 senior three students from eight secondary schools both private and government aided schools. It involved a quantitative approach using mathematics achievement test (MAT). The results revealed that PI affects learners’ academic achievement positively in mathematics. They showed that learners that were taught using PI improved in their academic achievement more than their counterparts in the post-test examination. Considering these findings, the study recommends proactive measures to ensure the widespread adoption of PI strategies in secondary school classrooms. This includes revising curriculum standards, providing teacher training programmers, and allocating resources to support the implementation of PI, thereby fostering learning outcomes in mathematics.

Abstract

Career orientation competency (COC) plays a crucial role in preparing students for lifelong learning and labor market adaptability. However, existing research has largely overlooked how this competency develops among indigenous ethnic minority students in culturally diverse and educationally disadvantaged contexts such as Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Addressing this gap, the present study adopts the social cognitive career theory (SCCT) to examine how personal, contextual, and behavioral factors interact to shape COC in this population. SCCT serves not only as a conceptual lens but also informs the development of the research model and interpretation of findings. A quantitative approach was employed using cross-sectional survey data collected from 669 ethnic minority students. Analytical techniques included reliability analysis (Cronbach’s alpha), exploratory factor analysis (EFA) for construct validation, and multiple linear regression to test predictive relationships. Results revealed six key determinants of COC: self-awareness (SA), expectations for results (ER), personal goals (PG), community connection (CC), career exploration (CE), and cultural identity (CI). Notably, CI had the most significant effect (β=0.308), suggesting its central role in guiding career-related behaviors. These findings have important implications for both theory and practice. They extend SCCT by integrating culturally specific constructs relevant to marginalized communities and they highlight the need for context-responsive career guidance programs that recognize and leverage students’ cultural identities. The study contributes to the empirical foundation for inclusive education policy reforms targeting ethnic minority youth in Vietnam.

Abstract

Philippine-Chinese schools have been in existence for several decades. This study explores the influence of Chinese culture on Filipino teachers’ pedagogical and content delivery, language and social interaction, and their practices and constructions while teaching in a Chinese school. Through a descriptive–qualitative approach to explore the experiences, 12 non-Chinese teachers were purposively chosen to participate in the study. Guided by the validated interview guide and the qualitative data analysis steps by Braun and Clarke, six themes emerged: bilingual pedagogy, cultural values integration, language immersion, technology in education, thriving through diversity, support and collegiality. The study revealed the enriching interaction between Chinese cultural influences and Filipino teaching practices, suggesting the need for ongoing professional development that enhances cultural competence, innovative pedagogical strategies, and supportive teaching communities.

Abstract

This study explores factors affecting the integrated teaching capacity of primary school teachers in ethnic minority schools in the Northern mountainous regions of Vietnam. Given the challenges of linguistic and cultural diversity in this context, the research aims to address gaps in current practices and propose measures for improvement. A quantitative approach was adopted, surveying 280 teachers and administrators using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and multivariate regression. The results identify four primary factors influencing teaching capacity: i) language, culture, and parent coordination; ii) teacher capacity and community participation; iii) teaching materials, equipment, and teacher attitudes; and iv) policies and support from management agencies. Among these, language, culture, and parent coordination are the most impactful. The study underscores the need for targeted teacher training programs and improved collaboration with local communities to enhance teaching outcomes. These findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and educators to improve integrated teaching in ethnically diverse and economically challenged regions.

Abstract

Global education systems apply grouping strategies to enhance academic outcomes. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has developed school tracks to address performance gaps by offering more varied high-school tracks while also creating a local Emirates Standardized Tests (EmSAT) for measurement. This study examines the impact of educational tracks in Emirati schools and EmSAT scores on UAE university students’ academic performance. A quantitative multivariate analysis of 3,190 University of Sharjah students compared the outcomes across different high school tracks and analyzed the predictive power of EmSAT scores on university cumulative grade point average (CGPA). EmSAT scores vary significantly by tracks, with elite students performing best, followed by those in the advanced and scientific tracks. Arabic and mathematics EmSAT scores predict CGPA more strongly than English, which has a moderate effect. General track students achieve higher CGPAs compared to other tracks, even after controlling EmSAT performance and gender, suggesting a complex relationship between high school experiences and university success. The findings highlight the track model’s effectiveness, with the elite fostering strong academic pathways. However, the overlap in university achievement between the general and advanced warrants further research. The study provides insights for policymakers to refine educational strategies and enhance student outcomes.
