Abstract

In an increasingly multicultural and interconnected world, the integration of culturally-responsive teaching methods into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has emerged as a vital pedagogical approach. This study examines the impact of culturally-responsive writing instruction on the development of EFL learners' writing skills, comparing it with traditional writing instruction. The objective is to explore how integrating cultural elements into writing pedagogy enhances linguistic competencies, fosters engagement, and promotes inclusivity in diverse classrooms. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining a quantitative pre-test and post-test experimental approach with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions. The quantitative phase of the study involved assessing writing performance in two groups: one experimental group that received culturally-responsive instruction and one control group that followed traditional teaching methods. Writing samples were evaluated using standardized rubrics to measure key competencies such as content, organization, grammar, and critical thinking. The qualitative phase gathered insights into students' perceptions, motivation, and engagement through thematic analysis of interviews and focus group discussions. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the experimental group's writing performance, with notable gains in grammar (+40.9%), critical thinking (+41.7%), and vocabulary (+35.3%). Students reported higher engagement, confidence, and personal connection to writing tasks. Teachers observed improved participation and deeper critical analysis in student writing. However, challenges such as balancing curriculum demands and limited institutional support were highlighted. Overall, the findings underscore the transformative potential of culturally-responsive instruction in improving writing outcomes, fostering cultural appreciation, and creating inclusive learning environments. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence advocating for educational equity and culturally-responsive practices in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The education sector has long struggled with the issue of early-career teacher attrition, with approximately 40-50% of new teachers leaving the profession within their first five months. This persistent challenge is attributed to various factors, including inadequate compensation, insufficient administrative support, and challenging workplace conditions. Despite the widespread implementation of mentorship programs, there remained significant gaps in understanding their long-term effectiveness and mechanisms of impact. This qualitative case study aimed to comprehensively examine the impact of mentorship programs on early-career teacher retention through a longitudinal analysis spanning five months. The research design incorporated multiple data collection methods, investigating 125 early-career teachers across urban, suburban, and rural contexts. The study sought to address critical research questions regarding mentorship's effect on retention rates, identification of most effective mentorship components, and variations across different demographic groups and school contexts. The findings revealed a compelling narrative of mentorship's transformative potential. While mentored and non-mentored teachers began with identical retention profiles, a significant divergence emerged over time. By the fifth month, mentored teachers demonstrated a 27.1 percentage point retention advantage, representing a 60.3% relative improvement in retention. Survival analysis showed mentored teachers had 2.85 times higher odds of remaining in the profession, with the most pronounced benefits observed in high-needs and rural school environments. The multivariate regression models confirmed mentorship's robust independent effect, even after controlling for various contextual factors. These results provide strong evidence that comprehensive mentorship programs represent a critical strategy for addressing teacher attrition challenges, offering actionable insights for educational policymakers and school administrators

Abstract

The educational landscape continues to evolve in response to shifting student needs and technological advancements. The flipped classroom model has garnered significant attention as a potentially transformative approach to teaching and learning, yet inconsistencies in research findings necessitate a systematic analysis of its effectiveness. This meta-analysis aimed to quantify the effectiveness of flipped classroom approaches on student engagement and academic achievement, identify key moderating variables, and develop evidence-based implementation recommendations. A comprehensive meta-analysis of 172 studies published between 2010-2024 was conducted, employing rigorous inclusion criteria and standardized coding procedures. Random effects models were used to calculate aggregate effect sizes and conduct moderator analyses to examine variables influencing effectiveness. The results of this meta-analysis indicate that flipped classroom approaches demonstrate a medium positive effect on student engagement (g = 0.57) and a small-to-medium effect on academic achievement (g = 0.42). Behavioral engagement (g = 0.63) and cognitive engagement (g = 0.59) showed stronger effects than emotional engagement (g = 0.48). Effectiveness varied by subject domain, with stronger effects in STEM (g = 0.49) and professional disciplines (g = 0.46). An inverse relationship emerged between educational level and effect size, with primary education showing the strongest effects (g = 0.58). Implementation duration (r = 0.42) and quality significantly moderated outcomes, with high-quality implementations demonstrating substantially stronger effects than low-quality implementations. This research resolves inconsistencies in current literature by systematically quantifying effectiveness across contexts and identifying influential moderating variables, providing educational stakeholders with evidence-based implementation guidance. The findings of this meta-analysis indicate that flipped classroom approaches consistently enhance student engagement and achievement across educational contexts. Implementation effectiveness is significantly influenced by educational level, subject domain, implementation duration, and quality. Educational stakeholders should prioritize comprehensive implementation planning and sustained support to maximize effectiveness, particularly in primary and secondary education settings.

Abstract

The increasing recognition of neurodiversity in educational settings has catalyzed a transformative shift in pedagogical approaches, challenging traditional deficit-focused models and advocating for inclusive frameworks that cater to diverse cognitive profiles. With approximately 20% of children in the United States identified as neurodivergent, including conditions such as autism, ADHD, and Tourette's syndrome, there is a critical need to develop nuanced educational strategies that accommodate and celebrate cognitive diversity. The research objectives were twofold: (1) to investigate how inclusive pedagogical frameworks can effectively support the diverse learning needs of neurodivergent students, and (2) to explore systemic strategies that educational institutions can adopt to create supportive, adaptive learning environments. This study employed a comprehensive mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative surveys, assessments, and qualitative interviews to capture both measurable outcomes and personal narratives. The research identified a significant gap in understanding how targeted interventions can be effectively tailored to meet the diverse needs of neurodivergent individuals. Key findings revealed a robust correlation coefficient of 0.826, indicating a strong positive relationship between inclusive teaching approaches and student success. The R-squared value of 0.683 suggests that 68.3% of the variance in student success can be explained by adaptive teaching methodologies. The study highlights the importance of recognizing neurodiversity as a natural variation in human cognition, emphasizing the need for systemic changes in pedagogical practices, teacher training, and policy implementation. By prioritizing individualized approaches and embracing a strengths-based perspective, educational institutions can cultivate environments that not only accommodate but celebrate the diverse ways neurodivergent students engage with learning. Ultimately, this research contributes practical insights to transform educational practices, foster inclusivity, and support the holistic development of neurodivergent learners.

Abstract

The cultural competency has emerged as a critical component in teacher preparation, addressing the challenges of increasingly diverse educational landscapes. Despite its recognized importance, there remains a significant gap in standardized approaches to developing cultural competence among pre-service teachers. This study aimed to investigate the transformative potential of cultural competency development among pre-service teachers through a comprehensive mixed-methods approach, seeking to explore how structured interventions can enhance educators' ability to recognize, understand, and respond to cultural nuances in classroom settings. Employing a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the study involved 120-150 pre-service teachers selected through purposive sampling. The research utilized multiple data collection instruments, including pre- and post-intervention surveys, reflective interviews, journals, and observational field notes. The intervention combined reflective practices, critical dialogue, and experiential learning experiences. Previous research lacked a comprehensive framework for cultivating cultural competency that simultaneously addresses cognitive, emotional, and practical dimensions of cultural understanding. The study offers a transformative model for teacher preparation, positioning cultural competency as a fundamental cornerstone of effective, equitable education. The research revealed remarkable improvements across three critical dimensions: Cognitive Awareness (78.3% enhancement), Affective Responsiveness (90.5% improvement), and Behavioral Adaptability (77.3% progression). Overall cultural competency demonstrated an 81.8% statistically significant improvement. The research illuminates cultural competency as a dynamic, continuous process of learning and growth. It challenges traditional educational paradigms by providing a holistic approach to preparing educators who are genuinely responsive to diverse cultural contexts, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and equitable educational landscape
