Abstract

Academic adjustment is a critical experience for university students in an educational setting. Students' ability to adjust with academic pressures will determine their level of success in reaching educational goals and academic development. As a result, it is critical to comprehend the psychological aspects that can influence a student's academic adjustment. This study examined the influence of internal locus of control and academic self-efficacy on academic adjustment among students at the Faculty of Psychology UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. This study involved (n=228) students selected using simple random sampling. The data was analyzed with IBM SPSS version 26 and Mplus version 7. Internal locus of control and academic self-efficacy significantly contribute to academic adjustment (R2 = 0.975). The increase in one point on internal locus of control and academic self-efficacy will impact academic adjustment. To improve students' academic adjustment, universities, especially academic departments, should focus on student locus of control and academic self-efficacy. They can approach learning problems better equipped and achieve their academic goals if they improve their internal locus of control and academic self-efficacy.

Abstract

The visually impaired group remains among the most unemployed despite laws designed to facilitate employment opportunities for the disabled population. This review article presents potential strategies for overcoming barriers experienced by students with visual impairments (VIs) during their career transition. An integrative literature review was employed by the authors. The integrative literature review allows authors to produce new frameworks and perspectives on a topic from a range of existing research data and ideas in a significant manner. Results of the literature review suggest that public education, adequate transportation and mobility skills, proper assessment of the students' skill development, the acquisition of relevant social and independent-living skills, adequate training for rehabilitation service providers, adequate access to prints, collaboration among professionals, and early career education and work experience are some of the strategies that can be adopted to help students with VIs overcome most of the challenges they experience in their career transition journey. Adopting the strategies discussed in this article may lead to a successful career transition for these students. One of the implications of this paper is that visually impaired students should be able to adapt to the career environment by acquiring relevant skills and being open to opportunities. Also, specialized job training and placement might make it easier for visually impaired students to find competitive work after earning an academic degree and raise their chances of embarking on a successful career path.

Abstract

This study aims to examine available literature on neurodiversity, particularly as it relates to neurodiverse students’ lived experiences. This study utilized the scoping review method to effectively map how research about neurodiverse students has been designed and conducted. Through a thorough search of four databases, articles were selected for data extraction and review based on the named criteria. Among all the studies reviewed, one of the themes that stood out was the view that only a few research directly assessed the needs of students with neurodiversity. It is also worth noting that of all kinds of neurological conditions, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger Syndrome received due attention among all the papers about neurodiversity. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and high-functioning autism received greater attention, followed by Asperger syndrome. Research efforts concerning the lived experiences of neurodiverse students are limited, particularly in Africa, where this research found no article that captured the lived experiences of neurodiverse students from their perspectives. These findings build on existing research by ascertaining whether neurodiverse students’ voices are acknowledged enough by researchers who could influence inclusion in academic planning, curriculum design, social activities and general academic life. Findings from this research imply that it would be of utmost assistance to researchers if gaps in neurodiversity research are identified to inform ideas for future research. Future studies ought to focus on African countries to explore the situation and academic life of neurodiverse students and not merely depend on the input of teachers, parents and neurodiversity professionals.

Abstract

Despite more than three decades of research, the educational community's understanding of the mechanisms underlying Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing treatment remains incomplete. This article critically examines the existing literature, focusing on the physiological mechanisms present when Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy is successfully administered. The review encompasses various research methodologies, including neuroimaging investigations tracking volumetric changes, shifts in relative brain activity across regions, and electroencephalographical alterations in brain function. Through this exploration, the authors underscore the necessity for future studies that delve into the mechanisms of action within children and adolescents and the transformations associated with treating complex post-traumatic stress disorder. The article will identify gaps in knowledge, emphasizing implications for educators and educational practices. A deeper understanding of these phenomena will provide insights for educators and the approaches used to address trauma-related issues in educational settings.
