This paper presents the findings of a comprehensive experimental study examining the impact of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) compared to traditional teaching methods on learner performance and motivation in mathematics education. The study, conducted with 80 first-year college learners from a primary school in Morocco, aimed to assess the effectiveness of CAI in enhancing learning outcomes and promoting learner engagement. Through pre- and post-intervention tests, the study evaluated mathematical calculation abilities, while questionnaires were utilized to measure changes in learner motivation. The results revealed significant improvements in both mathematical performance and motivation within the experimental group following the CAI intervention. In contrast, minimal changes were observed in the control group receiving traditional instruction. These findings underscore the potential of CAI to not only improve academic achievement but also foster greater motivation among learners in mathematics education. The study contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on technology integration in education, emphasizing the importance of innovative instructional methodologies in optimizing learner learning experiences and outcomes.

Adolescence, a crucial period preceded by childhood and followed by adulthood, involves significant growth and developmental changes leading to various psychological challenges and aggressive tendencies. Several scales have been developed to measure aggression, but 12-item short form aggression questionnaire has been widely used for assessing aggression and it is manifestations for varied age groups. However, there has been a dearth of studies related to the tool on assessing aggression in adolescents, further the cultural variations among various research populations compelled researcher to re-evaluate the tool on school-going adolescents. The current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of 12-item short form aggression questionnaire on 400 school adolescents (14-18 years). The hypothetical model was evaluated by structural equation modelling. The identified 4-factor model structure, viz. physical aggression (PA), verbal aggression (VA), hostility (H), and anger (A); depicted excellent goodness of-fit; and established the questionnaire with 12-items as a reliable and valid measure for assessing aggression among adolescents. The scale can serve as a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and psychologists to evaluate overall aggression and its specific forms in adolescents. While predictive validity of questionnaire with 12-items should be explored, and norms development as per given cultural context is recommended.

The learning of mathematics generally undergoes a less effective and less appealing learning process, resulting in students’ perceived lack of mastery of the material. Consequently, students’ insufficient understanding of the concepts leads to a lack of folding back. In the process of understanding, it influences individual characteristics, where two characteristics are cognitive styles: field-dependent and field-independent. The researcher aims to understand how the folding back process occurs in students with field-dependent and field-independent cognitive styles when solving story problems. This research is a descriptive qualitative study, with 2 students selected from a total of 28 students in class VII-A as subjects. The selected subjects have high mathematical abilities and are classified into the categories of field-dependent and field-independent cognitive styles. Data collection involves comprehension tests, group embedded figure test (GEFT), and interviews. Data analysis consists of stages such as data reduction, data presentation, and verification. Each subject is interviewed to verify their process of solving the given problems. The results of the research conclude that students with the field-independent cognitive style category have a better understanding of the material, concepts, and problem-solving compared to students in the field-dependent category.

This study aimed to identify the attributes that motivate the training instructors to perform effectively as a basis in proposing organizational development interventions for Philippine Coast Guard-Coast Guard Education Training and Doctrine Command (PCG-CGETDC), Philippine Navy-Naval Education, Training and Doctrine Command (PN-NETDC), and Philippine Merchant Marine Academy-Training Center (PMMA-TC). The survey results identified thirty-one attributes that highly motivate the instructors to perform effectively where no significant difference among the responses was established. Among the top motivational attributes are alignment of professional goals with the organizational goals; communication between head and subordinates; observance of fair work practices; assistance in technical support; clear selection, recruitment, and promotion polices; and existence of evaluation and feedback system and quality management system. Conversely, a significant relationship between the respondents’ extent of agreement on the attributes affecting their performance and their profiles was revealed. The training instructors considered twenty-three organizational interventions very important. There is a significant difference between and within their responses as an institution. The strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-threats (SWOT) analysis and other related data, gathered through survey, were utilized to develop the proposed validated organizational development interventions for these maritime-related institutions.

This study aims to determine the predominant motivation among users of the vocational training for employment (VTE) system and to discern whether there are differences according to socio-demographic traits such as gender, age, and employment status. Motivation is a factor that has to be taken into account during any teaching-learning process. The students' interest in the practice and contents will be key for their educational development and the attainment of achievements for their incorporation into the labor market. We carried out a quantitative study based on the survey technique. The sample is obtained through a deliberate sampling, obtaining a total of 390 participants (38.2% of men and 61.8%) involved in training processes at the time of the study or recently completed. The results reveal that the rates of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are high, especially the former. This indicates that users participate in training guided by the personal satisfaction they perceive, as well as by the feeling of usefulness of what they learn for its transfer to everyday life.

This study investigates the predictive relationship between academic resilience and cognitive flexibility among students in biology lessons enhanced by design thinking. Using an embedded quasi-experimental design, we compared the effects of design thinking-enhanced lessons with conventional engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate (5E)-based instruction on students' cognitive flexibility and academic resilience. The sample consisted of 97 students divided into experimental and control groups. Pre-test scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Levene's tests, confirming initial comparability. The normality of data was verified with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Regression analysis revealed that academic resilience significantly predicts cognitive flexibility, with resilience accounting for approximately 33.7% of the variance in cognitive flexibility. These findings underscore the importance of fostering academic resilience to enhance cognitive flexibility, mainly through innovative teaching methods like design thinking. The implications of this study suggest that integrating design thinking into biology education can effectively develop cognitive and emotional skills, better preparing students for complex problem-solving and adaptive learning. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the role of academic resilience in predicting cognitive flexibility. It offers practical recommendations for educators to incorporate resilience-building activities into their curricula. Further research is recommended to explore additional predictors of cognitive flexibility and their educational implications.

Parenting style is an essential factor for social anxiety, but research from different countries showed inconsistent empirical evidence. Therefore, this research examines the influence of parenting style (parental demandingness and responsiveness) on social anxiety among high school students in Indonesia. Four hundred high school students in Palembang City, Indonesia, were involved, with girls (n=244, 61%) and boys (n=156, 39%). The results of path analysis using the Mplus 7 showed that maternal (β=-0.123; p=0.001) and paternal demandingness (β=-0.149; p=0.020) significantly negatively influence social anxiety. For the responsive parenting style, the results found that maternal (β=0.035; p=0.026) and paternal responsiveness (β=0.649; p=0.000) positively influence high school students' social anxiety. Parenting styles explain 35.3% of social anxiety variance. This finding become a reference as a program to intervene in students’ social anxiety based on demanding and responsive parenting styles.

Innovation and entrepreneurship education is critical for fostering economic growth and societal advancement. In applied universities, the effectiveness of such education is influenced by various factors. Here we investigate the key elements affecting innovation and entrepreneurship education through an empirical study of Chinese applied universities, utilizing a structural equation model (SEM). We found that teacher quality (TQ) significantly impacts curriculum design (CD), practical platforms (PP), and policy support (PS). CD influences PP and PS, while PP affect TQ and CD. PS impacts TQ and CD, and student individual characteristics (SI) influence all four primary indicators. Compared to previous studies, our findings highlight the critical roles of TQ and CD in enhancing educational outcomes. By optimizing these factors, along with improving PP and strengthening PS, the effectiveness of innovation and entrepreneurship education can be significantly increased. This research provides vital theoretical and practical guidance for university administrators and educators, underscoring the need for targeted improvements in key areas to foster better educational results. Such insights contribute to the broader discourse on educational innovation, offering strategies that can be applied across various academic settings to promote innovation and entrepreneurship globally.

The study was conducted to ascertain if learning styles and corresponding teaching methods are factors that influence effective learning. The study employed a non-equivalent planned variation quasi-experimental design. The study’s sample comprised 362 chemistry students from six senior high schools in Delta State. The students were selected using a basic random selection technique. The instruments used for data collection were the chemistry achievement test (CAT) and the chemistry learning style questionnaire (CLSQ). The instruments were adequately validated, and reliability (R=0.81 and 0.79, respectively) was determined before usage. Data analysis involved the use of mean and independent sample t-tests. The findings showed: i) a significant difference in the performance of students instructed with the puzzle instructional strategy group with their learning styles and those instructed with the lecture method with their learning styles and ii) learning styles with teaching method and sex have no significant effect on students’ achievements. It was concluded that learning styles and corresponding teaching methods are factors influencing students’ achievement, and it was therefore recommended that teachers employ methods with similar characteristics to students’ learning styles.
