Abstract

Around 10% of Lebanese students exhibit learning disabilities at school, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Teachers' assessments of ADHD symptoms support the early diagnosis of ADHD. This research aimed to evaluate ADHD prevalence and psychological symptoms among a convenience sample of students between 5 and 11 years, from their teachers’ perspective, and to assess factors associated with ADHD risk. A cross-sectional study was performed, involving a convenient sample of 130 students (average age: 8.7 years) attending grades 1 through 5 at a private school in Lebanon. The NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Scale, filled out by two teachers per student, was employed to evaluate ADHD symptoms. Additionally, a short survey was given to parents/caregivers to collect sociodemographic data. Analyses were performed at a significance level of 0.05 using SPSS version 29. Teachers' answers were largely consistent (p>0.05). French (36.2%) and Arabic (30.8%) were the main subjects taught by participating teachers. The prevalence of inattentive-type ADHD among students was 12%, while predominantly hyperactive and combined types were noted in 8.5% of students. Within the inattentive type, those aged 8-11 years (13.6%; p=0.034), males (15.8%; p=0.046), and first-grade students (21.4%; p=0.038) were significantly at higher risk. Higher risk for all ADHD types was also significantly associated with having divorced or separated parents, lower economic status, and parental unemployment. Moreover, being an only child was significantly linked to a greater risk of conduct disorder (18.8%; p=0.045). Teachers reported a considerable number of children with poor performance, namely in written expression, reading, and mathematics. Behavioral challenges in the classroom were also noted, including difficulty following directions (8%; p=0.707), disruptive behavior (8-9.3%; p=0.320), and troubles completing assignments (7-8%; p=0.740). These findings highlight a high prevalence of ADHD among school-aged children in Lebanese schools. Teachers play a crucial role in the early identification of inattentive and hyperactive symptoms, which is essential for preventing academic and behavioral difficulties at school.

Abstract

While online learning has become the delivery mode of choice to facilitate flexible or distance learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic, this alternative approach to instruction has challenged the entire educational system in the Philippines. Survey data from 2027 students from a private college were analyzed using nonparametric statistical tests to examine how perceptions and self-efficacy in online learning are affected by students’ characteristics and access to technology. Findings suggest that, in general, college students have moderate to high perceptions and self-efficacy when it comes to online learning. When students’ characteristics were compared, gender, academic track, and prior online learning experience showed significant differences in the two scales. Year level and the number of units enrolled in by students did not have any significant effect. Factors related to technology access, namely, device ownership, device sharing, Internet connectivity, and type of subscription, were also investigated. Both Internet connectivity and the type of subscription were significant factors that impact how learners view online learning and how competent they are in accomplishing online tasks. When online learning perceptions and online learning self-efficacy were correlated, highly significant positive associations among the subscales were obtained.

Abstract

Presenting is an important aspect of the students’ academic experience in many teriary institutions in Vietnam. Many modules at higher education use oral presentations as a form of assessment and require students to verbally engage in small and large group settings to enhance learning. Thanks to technological developments, presentations can be given both directly in class and through online flatforms. The aims of this research were to gather the students’ insight into delivering group presentations through video recording. A qualitative survey was completed by 82 English-majored students from Faculty of Legal Foreign Languages, Hanoi Law University. All participants have completed their presentation skill course and were asked to write reflections at the end of the course. Based on students’ written feedback, thematic analysis was done to identify the benefits of recorded presentations as perceived by students and the difficulties faced by presenters in producing a video presentation. The results of this survey reveal that although there might be some challenges regarding video-making skill and lack of real audience, video-recorded presentations are advantageous for students as they boost motivation for learning, improve language skills, and help develop job-related competencies. From the findings of the research, some practical recommendations are made for language educators in similar contexts looking to integrate video technology into their teaching practices.

Abstract

Job burnout is one of the most serious workplace challenges. Meanwhile, studies focusing on the interplay between socio-demographics, self-efficacy, and job burnout are insufficient, particularly in Nigeria. This study aimed to examine whether self-efficacy, gender, and work experience determine job burnout among school teachers in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria. A Cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing questionnaires for data collection. A multistage sampling and convenience sampling technique was used to sample 1,725 teachers in 102 selected schools across the five local government areas of Ogbomoso. Data were collected using the Teachers’ Self-Efficacy Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory—Teachers' Survey (MBI-ES). The analysis showed no significant gender difference in job burnout among the selected teachers in Ogbomoso metropolis. However, a significant difference was found in job burnout based on years of work experience F(2,1723) = 6.234 p<.05), with teachers in the 1–7 year category exhibiting significantly higher burnout scores than other groups. Self-efficacy was found to significantly and negatively predict job burnout among the selected teachers(R= -.479, R2 =.576 F=14.573; p <.05). The study concludes that higher levels of self-efficacy are associated with lower levels of job burnout among school teachers. Teachers with 1–7 years of work experience are particularly susceptible to higher burnout levels. Recognizing the negative predictive role of self-efficacy on job burnout, interventions aimed at enhancing self-efficacy are recommended to mitigate burnout risks. The research recommends that policy makers should prioritize new teachers’ self-efficacy training to reduce the job burnout.

Abstract

This case study examined the impact of empathy on emotional suffering and job satisfaction among school teachers. The study surveyed 30 teachers from a private school in Abu Dhabi using a structured quantitative questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine patterns in empathy levels as well as emotional fatigue and job satisfaction with comparisons, based on gender and years of teaching experience. The findings showed that higher levels of empathy were linked with greater emotional fatigue particularly among teachers in emotionally demanding roles. Moreover female educators and those with fewer years of teaching experience reported greater emotional strain. Although empathy enriched relationships, it also contributed to emotional exhaustion highlighting the need for structured emotional support and resilience training.

Abstract

Studies have shown that social exclusion has a negative relationship with learning engagement. However, less is known about the underlying processes that may mediate this relationship. Thus, the current investigation aimed to examine the influence of social exclusion on college students' motivation to learn and the mediational roles of depression and self-efficacy in this association. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and a total of 600 Chinese university students participated in the study. The survey materials included the Social Exclusion Questionnaire, Learning Engagement Inventory, Depression Scale, and Self-Efficacy Inventory of the Centre for Fluency Studies. The results revealed that social exclusion significantly and adversely predicted learning engagement among Chinese university students, and both depression and self-efficacy exerted significant mediating effects in the relationship between social exclusion and learning engagement. These findings illuminate the relationship between social exclusion and university students' motivation to learn, as well as the underlying mechanisms that offer not only a theoretical basis for higher education pedagogy but also potential interventions that foster self-efficacy and enhance learning engagement.

Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical impact of dissection, handling, and consumption of invertebrates on the attitudes of prospective biology teachers toward these organisms. The research aimed to evaluate how experiential teaching methods influence emotional responses, willingness to protect, and openness to consuming invertebrates. The research sample consisted of 40 third-year female students enrolled in a biology teacher education program at a Slovak pedagogical university. Over one semester, participants completed six dissections and participated in four tastings of edible invertebrates. Data were collected using a standardized 52-item questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. The Wilcoxon matched-pairs test was employed for statistical analysis. The results revealed that dissection alone did not significantly influence students' attitudes toward invertebrate conservation; however, a statistically significant decrease in aversion was observed, particularly among participants who had initially expressed low willingness to consume these organisms. Overall openness to consumption increased markedly, and a relationship was identified between prior openness and a subsequently stronger conservation attitude. These findings suggest that practical engagement with biological material, particularly when combined with unconventional approaches such as consumption, may reduce affective barriers and foster a more positive perception of invertebrates. From an educational perspective, such experiential approaches may enhance the professional confidence of future biology teachers when working with these organisms and simultaneously contribute to the development of ethically grounded and sensitive biodiversity education. Further research is recommended on a more diverse sample, incorporating qualitative methods to gain deeper insight into students’ subjective experiences.

Abstract

This study investigates the core problem of inadequate academic performance and limited student engagement among polytechnic students, addressing how timely and effective Counseling can serve as a strategic intervention. Conducted at Rajarambapu Institute of Technology (RIT), the research involved Diploma-level students identified through academic records, mentor observations, and informal interactions based on academic, social, and emotional criteria. The study population included students from First, Second, and Third-Year diploma programs, with purposive sampling used to select those in need of support. Data was collected through mentoring reports, counseling documentation, academic performance records, and student feedback surveys. The analysis combined quantitative comparisons of pre- and post-counseling academic results with qualitative insights from student reflections. Findings show that personalized and group Counseling, when integrated with active learning strategies and developmental workshops, significantly enhance academic achievement, student confidence, and participation in college activities. This study underscores the value of embedding structured Counseling and mentoring practices within the academic system to support holistic student development. Future research should examine the long-term effects and scalability of such interventions across diverse educational contexts.
