The influence of self-care agency on quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis
Authors: Taştan Gürkan Ahsen , Özdelikara Afitap
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the self-care agency's (SCA) influence on the quality of life (QoL) in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Materials and methods: The descriptive corellational study was conducted with 120 patients (84 females, 36 males; mean age: 40.1±11.6 years; range, 19 to 73 years) with multiple sclerosis between September 2017 and May 2018. The data were collected from the SCA scale and the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQoL-54) scale. Multivariate variance analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between the MSQoL-54 scale and the SCA scale and the influence of SCA on QoL.

Results: The mean score of the SCA scale was 93.37±25.47. In the evaluation of the MSQoL-54 scores, the patients received 53.92±10.78 points from the compound physical health subscale and 62.52±17.93 points from the compound mental health subscale. It was determined that SCA could explain the QoL related to physical health by 92% and mental health by 95%.

Conclusion: Since SCA affects components of QoL, SCA is key in ensuring or increasing the QoL and well-being. Furthermore, disability status comes to the foreground as another variable that influences all the fields of QoL. Therefore, care interventions should be undertaken to adapt the patients to treatment and functional capacity to prevent labor loss and decrease dependency.
The Development of Critical Thinking in EFL Reading with Chinese Students: Reducing the Obstructive Effect of English Proficiency
Authors: Wang Sheng , Seepho Sirinthorn
Published: September 2024

Recently, the instruction of critical thinking, which is mostly conducted with learners in a western context, has expanded to EFL teaching and learning contexts and is emphasized in higher education in China. Previous studies found that Chinese EFL learners lack critical thinking due to their English proficiency.  This study aims to explore a way to reduce the negative effects of English proficiency on the development of critical thinking. One natural class of English major freshmen was chosen as the sample. Selective translation and scaffolding were employed to curtail the obstruction of English proficiency in the development of critical thinking.  The results show that obstruction of English proficiency in the development of critical thinking could be removed by selective translation and scaffolding. The findings provide some implications for the development of critical thinking in an EFL context.
Intrinsic relations among chemistry, physics and mathematics in the brazilian high school: a theoretical-methodological approach
Authors: Sousa João Lucas de Oliveira , Miranda Mayker Lazaro Dantas
Published: September 2024

This paper reports an investigation into the dialogical relation among significant learning experiences of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics contents in an interdisciplinary context. It aimed at answering the following questions that are relevant to the field of Exact Sciences: why do students show little interest in these courses?; where is the problem?; did Chemistry and Physics abandon Mathematics when they started to focus more on qualitative and theoretical concepts than on quantitative ones?; and how can the three courses work together to make both teaching and learning processes easier?. This study presented an actual overview of the Brazilian High School by highlighting strengths and weaknesses from the perspective of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics teaching. The Brazilian educational scenario showed again that the three courses are the ones that students enjoy the least. The research methodology had a qualitative focus since it had an interpretative and descriptive nature. Answers given to the questions may be found in the text intertwined with some worrisome reflections, which also include the triad teacher-student-educational system. Results showed that further studies are needed to find out the reasons for multiple difficulties found in the intrinsic relations among Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. It is disappointing to know that no satisfactory practical solution has been proposed so far. Everything has been kept in the educational ideal described by research articles, chapters and motivational quotes.
Os professores franceses, sua representação sindical e a questão da sua identidade profissional
Authors: Robert André D. , Guimaraes Michele Hidemi Ueno , Plaisance Eric
Published: September 2024

O artigo aborda a questão das identidades profissionais dos professores franceses dos ensinos primário e secundário,  por meio do prisma da filiação e das influências sindicais. Um desvio pela história, da segunda metade do século XX, constitui uma chave para compreender a transição de uma situação de forte hegemonia sindical para uma situação de claro enfraquecimento contemporâneo. É, então, analisado como isso se reflete nos resultados das eleições profissionais e como, no contexto do aumento das ofertas sindicais, o sindicalismo se mostra mais difícil de ser compreendido aos olhos dos professores, assim como a influência do seu declínio também advém de mudanças nos arranjos administrativos para a gestão da carreira. Para concluir, são examinadas algumas questões sindicais vigentes, em torno do “reconhecimento” profissional, do repertório da ação sindical e do próprio exercício da profissão.
La relación familia-escuela en la encrucijada: Estrategias gremiales del colectivo de trabajadores/as de la educación
Authors: Migliavacca Adriana , Iñiguez Myriam
Published: September 2024

La relación entre las escuelas y las familias es un tema de trabajo y reflexión que ha atravesado la historia organizativa del sector docente en distintos momentos históricos. Una problemática que hoy toma relevancia entre las preocupaciones de este colectivo de trabajadorxs, son las irrupciones violentas que, en los últimos años, se han ido replicando en distintas escuelas públicas (en especial en el nivel inicial), como consecuencia de acusaciones de abuso infantil, hacia miembrxs del personal docente y/o auxiliar.
En este trabajo, nos proponemos explorar las perspectivas y estrategias de organización que algunos sectores del colectivo docente despliegan frente a una problemática que plantea una complejidad sin precedentes, dada la gravedad de las acusaciones en que se fundan estas expresiones de malestar. No solo suponen la vulneración del derecho a la integridad psico-física de lxs niñxs sino que colocan un manto de sospecha sobre las propias tradiciones del trabajo docente y sobre la disputa cotidiana que algunas agrupaciones sindicales reconocen como propias, al proponerse constituir, por ejemplo, a los jardines en “territorios de infancia, cuidado, ternura y enseñanza”. En una primera instancia, relatamos algunos episodios y sistematizamos las hipótesis explicativas que, desde el colectivo docente, se esbozan sobre la situación. En un segundo momento, nos centramos en el análisis de las estrategias gremiales que se suscitan en la escuela como espacio de trabajo y las respuestas que se plantean desde los ámbitos de organización sindical institucionalizados.
Effects of a Mentorship Program on High Need College Students: Reflections from Mentors and Mentees
Authors: Miske Stephen , Sogunro Olusegun
Published: September 2024

On average, the college graduation rates for minority and/or high-need students are generally low. To address this situation, a Mid-Atlantic Consortium recently secured a grant to improve 4-year graduation rates of high-need students (i.e., new first-time students and transfer students who qualify as low-income students, first-generation college students, adult students, and/or students of color) by 20% over each selected college’s baseline. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the experiences of students and faculty mentors toward accomplishing this goal. Data were transcribed, coded, and analyzed thematically. Some of the effects identified in this study included enhanced academic and career planning, strengthening relationships between mentors–mentees through enhanced communication and trust building, enhanced research skills, development of mentorship skills, development of intellectual curiosity, and improved academic outcomes. We discuss implications for practice, policy, and further research.

This qualitative integrative literature review provides a more complete view of the practices used by those who define themselves as democratic educators. By analyzing and integrating existing literature on classroom practice this review discusses four pedagogical approaches that engage democratic educational practices including inquiry, artistic, oral, and student-centered methods.
Impactful Digital Technology Coaches: Identifying their Characteristics and Competencies while Delineating their Role
Authors: Gallagher Tiffany L. , Susin Catherine , Grierson Arlene
Published: September 2024

Digital technology coaches (DTCs) often support teachers with integrating technology into their classroom and instructional program, as well as provide ongoing staff development. To be effective, coaches tend to have specific characteristics for instructional coaching and competencies for educational coaching. We investigated if these characteristics and competencies applied to effective DTCs while we observed their proficiency with technology, their interactions with other educators, and the way they provide support for the teacher-professional learning (PL) process. Three DTCs led over 80 K–12 teachers from the same school district in classroom coaching sessions, collaborative planning meetings, PL sessions, and conference presentations. In keeping with generic qualitative methods, multiple data sources including fieldnotes, artifacts, and transcribed interviews were analyzed. Through examining data detailing their role and impact on the learning of their teacher colleagues, it was apparent that these DTCs possess the characteristics and competencies of effective instructional coaches. Importantly, this study adds to the literature on effective coaches by documenting the applicability of these characteristics and competencies to not only instructional coaches, but also DTCs, elucidating their role, and explaining their influence on teacher PL.

Authors: Nodine Marisa , Hushman Carolyn , Vaughan Ashley K , Carbonneau Kira J.
Published: September 2024

Using a mixed methods design we quantitively examined how case-based instruction (CBI) influenced preservice teachers’ (PSTs) cultural responsiveness teacher efficacy development across three classroom case studies. Qualitatively, we examined how PSTs were able to engage in self-insertion when writing about their reactions to the classroom cases. Specifically, PSTs were randomly assigned to one of two conditions; one group received a content-based text excerpt prior to reading and responding to two classroom cases (Text–Case). Another group was given a series of three classroom cases (Case–Case) that contained similar information to the Text–Case group. The Text–Case group maintained their cultural responsiveness teacher efficacy compared to the Case–Case group, which showed a significant decline (p < 0.05). The Text–Case group also showed greater self-insertion in their responses to the cases. These findings provide evidence that CBI paired with foundational knowledge was more effective than CBI alone.
Innovation from Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Research: An Implementable Model for Equitable Talent Acquisition and Retention
Authors: de Souza Lionel , White Tommy
Published: September 2024

Individuals from diverse minority backgrounds in the United States represent a one-of-its-kind collaboration in understanding diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) challenges in workforce staffing and representation per Equal Opportunity norms. This study involved primary and secondary research in the realm of DEI to develop an implementable model from lessons gleaned from the findings of the research and gaps found in contemporary hiring and staffing practices. The study and model development are grounded in Rawls’s 1971 theory of justice and predicated on the premise that opportunities are usually based on merit, and are generally well-intended, although often constrained by the frailties of human nature. The United States is in dire need of practical solutions, for despite well-intended U.S. laws and mandates on employment, equitable hiring practices are far from satisfactory. In a changing world order, many employers in the United States, and even to some extent globally, acknowledge they are duty-bound to ensure a harmonious, equitable, and safe work environment, devoid of any form of discrimination, harassment, or intimidation. Although easier said than done, achieving this equality requires a systematic approach to investigative organizational/institutional auditing, mapping, and diagnosing the ills that constrain collaboration and reduce productivity. The model is based on research and strategic practitioner design in its orientation, with practical implementation utility, flexible and customizable specifically for DEIB initiatives change, and suitable for educational and other industry settings. A skilled and scientific approach is needed to ensure equitable practices in professional and academic spheres.
Equality in Programming for Girls and Boys: Adolescents' Shared Experiences from an After-school Support Program in Urban Nairobi
Authors: Muhia Nelson , Abuya Benta
Published: September 2024

There has been marked progress in access to education, representation of women in leadership, sexual reproductive health, and gender-based violence as a result of gender equality initiatives. However, there is still a strong focus on interventions targeting girls only. Through the adolescents’ lens, this study sought to establish if there is a preference for interventions targeting girls compared to boys in two urban informal settlements; and what benefits were realized from programming for both adolescent boys and girls enrolled in an after-school support program. We employed a thematic analysis approach to answer the research questions. Results showed that most interventions at the community and school levels tended to favor girls over boys despite both facing similar challenges. Some of the benefits of programming for both sexes included sharing academic knowledge; boys gaining knowledge and skills to enable them to be future champions of change; enhanced ability for the adolescents to keep away from social ills; better gains for the society; breaking the gender inequality cycle; and enhanced social-emotional skills. Evidence from this paper highlights that there is a need for program and policy stakeholders to consider gender-transformative approaches and interventions targeting both sexes to maximize gains in education, health, and well-being.

Obesity is a condition of the body resulting from excessive fat accumulation which leads to health problems. The increase in fat metabolism affects increased production of free radicals in the circulation and in adipocyte cells. Free radicals that increase in the body are not in line with antioxidant enzymes, causing a condition called oxidative stress. The body's defense mechanism against free radicals is the synthesis of antioxidants. When there is a decrease in the activity of endogenous antioxidants such as the catalase enzyme, it provides a strong indication of oxidative stress. The presence of polyphenols and monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil is useful for preventing chronic damage that causes oxidative stress. The catalase enzyme can be used as a parameter for an uncontrolled increase in ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) or disruption of the function of the antioxidant defense system.
