The corresponding amide derivatives of 11-oxoindeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid were synthesized in good yields by interaction with amines (N,N-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine, novocaine, 2,6-dimethylpyrimidin-4-amine). The technique is simple and well reproducible. It provides preliminary activation of the carboxyl group by ethyl ester of monochlorocarbonic acid with its conversion to anhydride in chloroform in the presence of triethylamine. Anhydride gently reacts with amines under the same conditions without preliminary isolation to form the corresponding derivatives. Physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of the synthesized compounds were predicted using the ADMETlab 3.0 program. All tested compounds corresponded to Lipinsky's rule and can be classified as "drug-like". Pharmacokinetic parameters (clearance, half-life, ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and be absorbed in the intestine) indicated the possibility of their oral use. Computer screening using the PharmMapper database confirmed the ability of the synthesized compounds to bind to a number of biological targets involved in cell replication and division. This indicates their potential for intercalation into DNA for the treatment of viral infections and tumors and the prospects for their further studies using in vitro methods.

Published: December 2024

Interaction in the system "sulfur dioxide–diethylenetriamine (or bis-(hexamethylene)triamine)–water–air oxygen" results in a mixture of double salts (diethylenetriammonium bis(sulfito)-dithionate (Ia) and bis(sulfito)-sulfate trihydrate diethylenetriammonium (Ib)) or bis(hexamethylene)triammonium sulfate (II). The obtained ammonium salts of sulfur-containing oxyanions Ia, Ib, and II were characterized by the methods of elemental analysis, X-ray structural analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Compound Ia crystallizes in monoclinic syngony (space group С2/с, a=28.1583(5) Å, b=6.84450(10) Å, c=10.8351(2) Å, =93.776(2)0, V=2083.71(6) Å3, Z=4). Compound Ib crystallizes in rhombic syngony (space group Pbcn, a=18.9777(13) Å, b=10.3131(8) Å, c=11.5414(10) Å, V=2258.9(3) Å3, Z=4). Compound II crystallizes in triclinic syngony (space group P-1, a=11.347(3) Å, b=11.700(5) Å, c=18.913(4) Å, =95.22(3)0, =92,52(2)0, =118,27(4)0, V=2191,36 Å3, Z=2). The IR spectrum of the mixture of salts Ia and Ib shows the valence vibrations of (SO) of sulfite anion (1 and 3), represented by bands at 955, 931, 907, 1026, and 1006 cm–1. Two bands at 566 and 493 cm–1 are the result of the splitting of a doubly degenerate out-of-plane deformation vibration of the 4 (E) of dithionate anion. The bands at 1127 and 1078 cm–1 correspond to the oscillations of as and s of sulfate anion (SO42–). A decrease in the symmetry of the SO42– anion as a result of salt formation is accompanied by the appearance of the band 1 (A1) at 980 cm–1 in its spectrum.

Authors: Aji Prakosa Farid , Afy Shovmayanti Noor , Miftahul Jannah Azzahrah
Published: December 2024

This study examines the therapeutic role of interpersonal communication in addressing mental health challenges college students face. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, involving in-depth interviews with students to examine the therapeutic role of interpersonal communication in addressing mental health challenges. The findings reveal that interpersonal communication, both with peers and family, serves as a primary support mechanism for alleviating stress and anxiety. Emotional support gained through these interactions fosters social connectedness and emotional relief and aids students in managing academic and personal pressures. However, privacy concerns often pose significant barriers. The study highlights the importance of creating supportive communication environments to enhance the therapeutic potential of interpersonal communication as an informal tool for addressing mental health challenges.

We describe the Theoretical Chemical Calculations of the amoxicillin-based Schiff base generated by the interaction of the antibiotic amoxicillin with 2,6-diaminopyridine in this work. The Gaussian09 software program was used for this. Quantum chemical calculations of the compound (molecular geometry, geometric structure, optimized geometric parameters, bond angle and bond length) have been carried out using SDD and 6-311G basis sets and density functional theory (DFT/ B3LYP) and (DFT/B3PW91) tehniques. The HOMO-LUMO energies of our compound were determined utilizing the DFT method with two methods and basis sets. The compound's molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface, NBO analysis, Nonlinear Optical Properties (NLO), Mulliken atomic charges have been calculated using two methods and sets. In the last phase of this study, the compound was subjected to molecular docking studies for enzyme inhibition. Furthermore, homology modeling and molecular docking analysis have been done to assess the biological and medical aspects of this ligand by measuring the attraction intensity and attraction energies of molecular ligand-biological contact complexes.

Published: December 2024

Es wird eine Fallvignette vorgestellt von einer jungen Frau, die – im Kontext häuslicher Gewalt – eine Hilfe für junge Volljährige in einer Wohngruppe beantragt. Eine Abwesenheit der fallzuständigen Fachkraft im Regionalen Sozialen Dienst (RSD) führt dazu, dass die Leistungsebene den Fall an sich zieht und mit einer Vielzahl von Fehleinschätzungen und Falschinformationen den Hilfebedarf abweist. Im ersten Teil wird die Fallvignette dargestellt, im zweiten Teil wird in 13 Punkten eine rechtlich-fachliche Bewertung vorgenommen und schließlich wird als Gegenvorschlag eine Schadensersatzklage in Betracht gezogen.
Lehrkonzept für die Pflege zu Vulnerabilität und Klima
Authors: Schmitz Daniela , Fiedler Manfred , Ortloff Jan-Hendrik
Published: December 2024

Die Klimakrise stellt für die Kopplung von Umwelt und Gesellschaft im Verständnis von planetarer Gesundheit eine existenzielle Herausforderung dar. Im Verständnis von mehrdimensionaler Vulnerabilität wird auf der Basis von Disaster Management die Forderung nach einem Public Health Emergency Preparedness Konzept (PEP) erhoben, das gleichzeitig als Ecological Public Health Prävention und Preparedness ein personen- und raumbezogenes Verständnis verbindet. Trotz vielfältiger Betroffenheit ist die Klimakrise noch nicht in der Pflegepraxis angekommen und Pflegefachpersonen fühlen sich nicht ausreichend vorbereitet. Sowohl die Kompetenzanforderungen an ein Disaster Nursing als auch die entwickelten Frameworks zu Planetary Health können Grundlage für eine im Rahmen von PHEP notwendigen qualifikatorischen Vorbereitung innerhalb der unterschiedlichen Settings sein. Darüber hinaus bedarf es im kommunalpolitischen Handlungsraum zur Begegnung der Klimakrise verlässlicher Strukturen. Angesichts der fehlenden Moderation kommunaler Prozesse könnte eine akademisch qualifizierte (ecological) Public Health Nurse eine entscheidende Rolle zukommen.
Nachhaltigkeit, Public-Health-Ethik und die Perspektiven für die Pflege
Authors: Dunger Christine , Schnell Martin
Published: December 2024

Nachhaltigkeit ist ein moderner Begriff, der im 20. Jahrhundert angesichts eines verändernden Verhältnisses des Menschen zur Natur und einer Erweiterung der Ideen ökologischer Ethik entsteht. Der Diskurs über Natur und Ethik wurde jedoch in verschiedene Epochen geführt und weiterentwickelt. Erst Ende der 1980er Jahre beginnt die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriff der nachhaltigen Entwicklung, da deutlich wurde, dass es der Sache nach nicht nur um die biologische Natur geht, sondern um einen komplexen Prozess mit aufeinander verweisenden Herausforderungen der Weltgemeinschaft. Politisch gipfelte diese Auseinandersetzung bisher in der Entwicklung der Nachhaltigkeitsziele der Vereinten Nationen. Diese werden in diesem Beitrag, zusammen mit Konzepten der Public-Health-Ethik, genutzt, um nachzuvollziehen, welche Implikationen sich aus diesen (inter-)nationalen Entwicklungen für die Disziplin Pflege ergeben und wie sich Nachhaltigkeit mit Blick auf diese umsetzen lässt. Neben der Verbindung der verschiedenen Konzepte zur Verringerung von Ungleichheit als Ziel der Public-Health-Ethik, werden zwei Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten aufgegriffen. Diese verweisen auch darauf, dass die Disziplin Pflege und die Instrumente der Public-Health-Ethik geeignet sind, sich gesellschaftspolitischen Fragestellungen zu widmen, d.h. diese zentralen und aktuellen Anliegen einer Demokratie hilfreich zu unterstützen.

Multidimensional Privacy Preservation in Distributed Computing and Big Data Systems: Hybrid Frameworks and Emerging Paradigms
Authors: Reddy Malikireddy Sai Kiran , Reddy Algubelli Bipinkumar
Published: December 2024

Distributed computing along with big data systems revolutionized how different industries handle and manage data. These systems are thus able to handle huge volumes of data with efficiency, promoting innovation even in such areas as health and finance. However, this technological advancement also causes significant privacy challenges. The nature of these systems, with the scale and heterogeneity of big data, presents points of vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious actors. Key issues include data breaches, unauthorized access, and the challenge of providing users with anonymity in large-scale environments.
This paper discusses privacy concerns that are inherent to distributed computing and big data systems and underlines the urgent need for effective security mechanisms. It examines contemporary approaches to encryption, data anonymization, and secure multi-party computation to highlight strengths and weaknesses of the current approaches. It also points out the deficiency in some of the present research works and gives weight to the development of extensive privacy-preserving frameworks, which will guarantee the security of data handling, thus fostering trust and enabling further growth of distributed computing and big data applications.

Storytelling in the social studies classroom
Authors: Chua Shuyi
Published: December 2024

Many teachers tell stories. They take a story, whether their own or another’s, and turn it into the experience of their students. This article showcases four stories from secondary social studies classrooms in Singapore that illustrated how teachers have used stories for various purposes. Stories were observed to be used to teach morals, inspire empathy and cultural understanding, engage students, and help them acquire thinking skills such as assessing the reliability of sources. Stories, when used effectively, can achieve multiple purposes, many of which are aligned with the kinds of citizenship qualities and skills we want to see developed in learners of all ages. Suggestions on how teachers can incorporate storytelling in their lessons are provided at the end of this paper. Even though the four stories are from the secondary level, the ideas and suggestions in this article can have application in primary social studies classrooms as well.
Let’s have cooperative learning for lessons!
Authors: Sim Hwee Hwang , Anamthi P.
Published: December 2024

One cannot assume that learning will necessarily take place just because children are doing group work. To ensure that productive learning takes place, there is a need to infuse elements of cooperative learning into the group activities. In this article, the key principles and structures of cooperative learning as well as the benefits of using cooperative learning are discussed. Some suggestions on the use of cooperative learning, together with classroom examples are also presented.
The role of geographical investigations in developing students’ cognitive thinking
Authors: Lim En Qi
Published: December 2024

In Singapore, there has been a shift in education towards more inquiry-based learning to equip students with skills for the future. Geographical Investigations (GI) have been introduced as a form of geographical inquiry where students participate actively in knowledge construction through fieldwork. Fieldwork deepens students’ understanding of content and aids in students’ affective, social, and cognitive development. However, there is limited local research on the value of Geography fieldwork in influencing students’ cognitive thinking. This paper, therefore, examines the role of GI in developing Secondary students’ cognitive thinking in Geography. Using a case-study approach, Secondary 2 students in one secondary school were interviewed before and after their GI on the topic of Transport. Data was analysed using an adapted model of Bloom’s Taxonomy. All students showed an improvement in higher-order cognitive skills after GI, specifically in the development of higher-order cognitive thinking skills and deeper thinking at particular cognitive levels.
Sampling in geographical fieldwork using GIS techniques
Authors: Tan Sheng Ting Heidi
Published: December 2024

Sampling is a fundamental and essential component in geographical fieldwork. Sampling is the process of gathering data from purposefully selected sites, such that the data collected best represents the general phenomenon being studied. In geography education, teachers often have to look for suitable sites for students to conduct fieldwork, for example, which location to conduct interviews. However, many teachers are afraid to venture out into unchartered territories where the potential site for fieldwork is unfamiliar. This paper seeks to illustrate the use of GIS techniques to determine the suitability of an unfamiliar site for sampling in geographical fieldwork through coastal research done on a coastline along Cha-am, Thailand.
Guiding students in writing data response answers using bloom’s taxonomy for critical thinking
Authors: Ong Ka Min , Arulushamaheswary D/O Anbalagan
Published: December 2024

This study focuses on improving students’ ability to respond to data response questions with two or more variables - in particular, students’ ability to describe and compare the data given in data response questions. Based on Bloom’s Taxonomy, a step-by-step guide was crafted on how to approach these type of questions. The methodology used was quantitative data derived from pre- and post-tests, and a qualitative analysis of the post-test scripts. For this research, we picked Secondary 5 Normal (Academic) students who showed difficulty in coping with data response questions that have two or more variables. We found that the guide was useful in scaffolding writing answers for the students. However, while students were able to apply the lower stages of the guide, they were not able to spiral their critical thinking skills to higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Historical sources in the classroom: Purpose and use
Authors: Barton Keith C.
Published: December 2024

Historical sources are a common feature of history classrooms, but the purpose of using them is not always clear, and as a result, instructional activities with sources may not be as effective or meaningful as they should be. This lack of clarity stems in part from the fact that there are four distinctly different reasons for using sources, and each carries its own implications for classroom practice. These purposes are 1) illustration and motivation; 2) evidence for historical inquiry; 3) visual or textual interpretation; 4) source analysis. By reflecting on how each of these purposes can play a role in the classroom, which kinds of sources are appropriate for each, and where they fit into an overall sequence of instruction, teachers can ensure that their use of sources deepens and extends students’ historical understanding.
Historical evidence: Archaeological practice as a pedagogical tool for historical education in Singapore
Authors: Oh Ying Jie
Published: December 2024

History education in Singapore has seen much progress following the shift away from Rafflesian history to studies on pre-1819 Singapore with new publications and exhibitions. However, many educators still face difficulties in delivering this knowledge to their students. This article looks at how history education in Singapore can be enhanced by using an amalgamation of archaeological methods, historical evidence, and an inquiry-based approach as a pedagogical practice to teaching 14th-century Singapore.
Improving student ability in interpreting visual sources through action research
Authors: Otreba Ee , Gwee Marek
Published: December 2024

This paper reports the experience of a History Professional Learning Team (PLT) from St. Andrew’s Secondary School in 2017 in developing literary strategies to improve student ability to read and interpret pictorial sources. An action research strategy was used with 150 students for this purpose. Students were explicitly taught the “Triangle Method” of source analysis, as well as specific persuasive techniques used in political cartoons to help them make sense of visual sources. The team found that the strategy of focusing on students’ prior knowledge and allowing them to engage in think aloud protocols had resulted in significant improvements in students’ ability to analyze pictorial sources.
Teaching the enduring understandings about culture In primary social studies
Authors: Chee Min Fui
Published: December 2024

Educating the young for multicultural understanding and social cohesion are amongst the most important goals of Social Studies. Teachers can broaden and deepen the learning of the concept of culture in order to help students to understand cultural differences and similarities across different communities and to better appreciate the diversities in their midst. This paper offers several enduring understandings about culture that can guide curricular and instructional decisions. Finally, it suggests learning activities that teachers can consider to augment the food, festival and artefacts approach that is commonly used in schools to teach about cultural diversity.

Where literacy meets geography: Using talk moves to engage students in geographical data
Authors: Lin Yunqing
Published: December 2024

From a perspective of social constructivism, literacy is shaped by social practices (Moje, 1996) and serves the purpose of knowledge construction in a discipline (Moje, 2008). To help students become “geographically literate” (Dolan, 2019) entails equipping them with skills to make sense of and critique geographical data presented in multimodal formats (Roberts, 2014) by creating more space for geographical dialogue in the classroom. This paper first discusses the relationship between talk and students’ ability to analyse and account for geographical data. Using the evidence of a questionnaire survey, it examines the impact of Talk Moves in supporting dialogic teaching in 3 Singapore’s secondary geography classrooms. Statistics show that Talk Moves helped students improve their analytical skills for geographical data and their ability to articulate answers in a geographical manner. However, more support could be provided to enhance students’ classroom participation and their writing based on geographical data.
“So what makes the prime minister’s speech so reliable?” - Secondary social studies teachers’ pragmatic approach to inquiry
Authors: Fatema Anis Hussain
Published: December 2024

An inquiry-based approach in the classroom equips students with discipline-based skills, thus facilitating knowledge construction (Kidman & Casinader, 2017). In view of the curricular focus in Singapore on developing students' critical and reflective thinking skills via inquiry (MOE, 2016a), this article illustrates teachers' enactment of inquiry processes in secondary Social Studies lessons, drawing on data from a baseline study. Analysis of teacher interviews and student focus group discussions yields insights into the possibilities and challenges of employing inquiry-based learning. The article spotlights teacher-student interactions in one particular lesson as students ascertain the reliability of the given sources. The analysis reveals teachers' pragmatic, fit-for-purpose approach to selecting key aspects of inquiry-based learning, which is largely driven by time constraints and concerns about syllabus coverage and students' assessment outcomes. These findings suggest the need for greater student agency in the inquiry process as well as more opportunities for students' critical and reflective thinking, and domain-specific understandings.
Improving reading comprehension of social studies informational text for upper primary students with high functioning Autism
Authors: Wang Yao Chang Melvin
Published: December 2024

One of the main barriers to teaching Social Studies to students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) pertains to their limited ability to read and comprehend written informational text. This study investigated the use of graphic organiser instruction to promote improved informational text comprehension for three upper primary students with High Functioning Autism (HFA). Student participants were introduced to the specific vocabulary terms in the graphic organiser in three stages: introduction of the vocabulary word and its definition; deductive teaching of concepts through the use of examples and non-examples; and student practice. Subsequently, all three students were instructed to read adapted passages on Singapore history and complete the modified graphic organisers. The effect of the intervention was then assessed within the context of a multiple-probe design across participants, using quizzes that measured performance through multiple-choice and open-ended test items. Results demonstrated that the intervention improved students’ reading comprehension.
Bir İmparatorluk Düşü mü Yoksa Pragmatik Bir Gerçeklik mi: İslâmcıların Ziya Gökalp Eleştirileri
Authors: Sütcü Muhammed Emre
Published: December 2024

Osmanlı münevveri, imparatorluğun son anına kadar, devletin varlığını geleceğe taşımayı arzulamış, takındığı bu tavır çerçevesinde düşüncesini geliştirmiştir. Siyasal ve toplumsal açıdan sarsıntıya uğrayan imparatorluk çeşitli ideolojik cereyanlara sahne olmuştur. II. Abdülhamit’in tahttan indirilmesiyle birlikte neşir hayatında şahit olunan hareketlilik üç farklı ideolojik şemanın belirginleşmesini sağlamış ancak bu belirginleşme ne zamansal ne de cereyana mensup olma bakımlarından keskin ayrımlara ve kompartımanlaşmaya sebep olmuştur. Ne İslâmcıların Ziya Gökalp’i ne de Ziya Gökalp’in İslâmcı münevveri tam olarak karşısına almaması özünde imparatorluk düşünürü olmalarıyla vuzuha ermektedir. II. Meşrutiyette Gökalp’in şahsına yöneltilen eleştirinin en berrağı, yine Ziya Gökalp’in açtığı ‘içtimai usul-ü fıkıh’ tartışması çerçevesinde belirginleştiği görülmektedir. Ancak bu eleştirinin siyasal tonu arka planda olup kelâm alanına ilişkin teknik bir eleştiri olduğu görülmektedir. Gökalp’in ideolojik tavrına yöneltilen eleştiri 1930’dan sonra Hüseyin Kazım Kadri tarafından yöneltilmiştir. Daha sonra yöneltilen İslâmcı eleştirilerin ise bilimsel ve nesnel bir perspektiften olmadığı görülmektedir.

Published: December 2024

A construção de sentenças envolve a produção de estruturas sintaticamente corretas e pode envolver pro-dutividade de novas sentenças,a partir de recombinações de palavras diretamente ensinadas. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar o efeito do ensino de sequências de duas palavras com sobreposição sobre a emergência de sentenças afirmativas e negativas; posteriormente verificou o efeito do estabelecimento do controle con-dicional por cores sobre a leitura recombinativa generalizada de sentenças nas formas afirmativa e negativa. Participaram seis crianças com histórico de fracasso escolar, de ambos os sexos. Como estímulos foram adotadas seis sentenças de ensino (três afirmativas e três negativas) e quatro de generalização recombinativa (duas afirmativas e duas negativas), e respectivas sentenças ditadas e figuras. O procedimento consistiu nas fases de ensino de sentenças com sobreposição e testes de construção; fases de ensino de discriminações condicionais com a construção de sentenças afirmativas na presença da cor verde e negativas na presença da cor vermelha; testes de leitura recombinativa com oito novas sentenças; e testes de compreensão de leitura pela relação entre figura e sentença impressa. Nos testes de leitura recombinativa, quatro participantes cons-truíram corretamente sete das oito novas sentenças e os demais, seis. Nos testes de compreensão I, quatro participantes obtiveram 100% e dois 80% de acerto. Nos testes de compreensão II, três crianças obtiveram desempenho de 100%, duas acima de 60% e uma 40%. Os resultados sugerem que o procedimento de ensino de sentenças por sobreposição de palavras foi eficiente no auxílio da aquisição de repertório verbal, relativo à construção de frases e leitura com compreensão de sentença nessa população.
El desligamiento funcional y la causalidad Aristotélica:un análisis teórico
Authors:   Universidad Veracruzana, Ribes-Iñesta Emilio
Published: December 2024

Se realiza un análisis teórico del concepto de desligamiento funcional en teoría de la conducta (Ribes & López, 1985). Se revisan algunos antecedentes teóricos del concepto y se examinan las propiedades lógicas del concepto en relación con las distintas causas aristotélicas. Se señala la importancia de la causa eficiente en su relación con la actualización de la potencia, como organización funcional de un organismo. Se hace énfasis en ubicar, desde la perspectiva de una teoría de campo, en dónde reside la potencia, qué es lo que se actualiza y en qué consiste cada contingencia de función actualizada. Se propone también cómo medir las diversas formas de causalidad aristotélica en el modelo de campo (mediación, arquitectura de las relaciones de contingencia, desligamiento funcional y ajuste funcional) como variables molares.
Los saberes de los futuros docentes en torno a la planeación didáctica
Authors: Hernández Belmonte Sergio Hugo
Published: December 2024

La planeación didáctica es una actividad esencial para el docente en formación porque forma parte del trabajo que desarrollará durante todo su ejercicio profesional. La generación 2019-2023 de estudiantes normalistas tiene la cualidad de haber transitado por una formación inicial dual, es decir, la mitad de la carrera la cursó en línea por la pandemia causada por el SARS-CoV-2 y la otra la hizo en la modalidad presencial. Este estudio, de tipo cualitativo y con un marco fenomenológico, aspira a identificar los saberes que construyen los docentes en formación acerca de la planeación didáctica; para ello se realizaron entrevistas a estudiantes normalistas del cuarto grado de la Licenciatura en Educación Primaria, que son considerados sujetos de primer orden. Se presentan los primeros resultados después de un ejercicio de categorización, relativos a los cambios en la planeación al regresar a la presencialidad y los vacíos formativos para llevarla a cabo. Se concluye que el impacto de la planeación didáctica que se hacía en línea y la que se hizo de manera presencial no solo se relaciona con la disposición de los docentes en formación, sino que tiene que ver con las condiciones institucionales y el apoyo de los demás actores educativos.
Sustainable Skill Development in Pakistan: Bridging Gaps in Vocational and Technical Education Policy – A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Ali Wazir , Rahman Abdul , Karsidi Ravik
Published: December 2024

Skill development is pivotal to Pakistan’s economic and social transformation, addressing human capital challenges. This systematic literature review synthesizes findings from 38 peer-reviewed studies conducted between 2015 and 2024 to evaluate Pakistan’s existing policies and practices. Findings reveal myriad barriers in Pakistan’s vocational education ecosystem, including outdated curricula, weak industry-academia collaboration, and governance inefficiencies, disproportionately affecting vulnerable rural populations. Programs like the National Skills Strategy (NSS) and Punjab Skills Development Fund (PSDF) aim to align education with labor market demands, but financial constraints and governance inefficiencies hinder implementation. Due to infrastructural inadequacies, digital literacy and entrepreneurial education programs face implementation challenges. The study advocates for experiential learning modalities and inclusive policies to dismantle socio-cultural barriers.

Understanding How Teachers Deal with Their Emotions : Developing Indonesian Teacher Emotional Regulation Inventory (ITERI)
Authors: Amijaya Ivan Ligan , Mangunsong Frieda Maryam
Published: December 2024

This research aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that specifically explores the emotion regulation strategies used by teachers in Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional survey method with a quantitative approach. The study involved 337 elementary school teachers from various regions across Indonesia, selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected through both offline printed questionnaires and online surveys via Google Forms. The validity of ITERI was assessed through cognitive interviews, Content Validity Index (CVI), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Cronbach's Alpha analysis was also conducted to evaluate reliability and descriptive analysis was performed. The results showed that 22 of 27 items in ITERI are valid in measuring six dimensions: situation selection, situation modification, attention deployment, cognitive reappraisal, suppression, and seeking social support. However, only five of six dimensions of the ITERI showed sufficient reliability, with the situation modification dimension being the least reliable. This study also found that teachers employ a diverse range of emotion regulation strategies. Therefore, teachers need to develop the ability to select appropriate strategies for the specific situations and emotions they encounter. ITERI could serve as a valuable tool for measuring and describing the emotional regulation abilities of Indonesian teachers in school contexts.

This study aims to analyze the critical thinking abilities of pre-service science teachers, specifically focusing on students majoring in physics. Recognizing the pivotal role of critical thinking in science education, this research investigates the key abilities of analysis, inference, evaluation, and decision-making within the context of routine science learning activities. The study employs a descriptive research design, utilizing quantitative observational methods. A critical thinking ability test, comprising eight items, was administered to 19 pre-service science teachers. The validity and reliability of the test instrument were rigorously assessed through empirical testing and Cronbach's alpha, confirming the instrument's suitability for measuring the intended abilities. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including ANOVA, were conducted to evaluate the critical thinking abilities of the participants. The results indicate an overall low level of critical thinking across all indicators, with no significant differences identified among the abilities of analysis, inference, evaluation, and decision-making. The descriptive analysis revealed that the students generally fell into the "Not Critical" category, reflecting significant deficiencies in their ability to engage deeply with scientific content. The ANOVA results further supported these findings, showing a lack of significant variation in critical thinking abilities, which points to a systemic issue within the current educational practices. These findings have important implications for science education, underscoring the need for comprehensive instructional strategies that address all aspects of critical thinking.
