EXPLORING TEACHER BELIEFS IN SECOND LANGUAGE READING INSTRUCTION IN GHANA
Authors: Osei Isaac 
Published: March 2024

This paper reports on a study investigating the professed or stated beliefs and practices of 61 second language (L2) teachers in Ghana concerning reading instruction. The primary aim of this study was to explore whether the teachers’ stated beliefs and practices reflected the research literature on effective L2 reading pedagogy. The research employed a questionnaire that generated both quantitative and qualitative data. The data analyses revealed little alignment between the teachers’ stated beliefs and practices and the research recommendations for effectively teaching reading. Instead, their stated beliefs and practices focused predominantly on read-aloud/pronunciation and vocabulary, constituting a partial conceptualization of effective reading pedagogy. The results are discussed, and implications for practical L2 reading instructions are provided.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
INTRINSIC VS. EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION AMONG RECREATIONAL CROSSFIT ATHLETES: A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
Authors: Callison Heather , DeBeliso Mark 
Published: March 2024

Research has shown that many types of recreational athletes are intrinsically rather than extrinsically motivated to participate in their sport. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine if recreational CrossFit participants are inclined to be more intrinsically or extrinsically motivated to participate in their sport. Methods: Participants were recruited from a local CrossFit gym in Southern Utah where they were provided a QR code linked to the Sports Motivation Scale II (SMS II survey). The SMS II survey assess 6 subscales of motivation regulation (intrinsic, integrated, identified, introjected, external, and non). Each of the 18 SMS II survey questions is scored on a Likert scale of 1-7 on a continuum of “Does not correspond at all” to “Corresponds completely”. For the purpose of the study, CrossFit participants were considered to as athletes. Results: The SMS II subscale scores were as follows (mean±SD): intrinsic (5.7±1.3), integrated (5.5±1.1), identified (6.2±1.0), introjected (4.6±1.3), external (2.4±1.4), and non (1.7±1.1). The Identified regulation subscale scores were greater than all other subscales scores (p&lt;0.05). The Intrinsic and Integrated regulation subscale scores were similar and greater than Introjected, External and Non regulation subscale scores (p&lt;0.05). The Introjected regulation subscale scores were greater than the External and Non regulation subscale scores (p&lt;0.05). The External regulation subscale scores were greater than the Non regulation subscores (p&lt;0.05). Conclusions: Within the parameters of this study, it appears that recreational CrossFit participants find motivation within themselves to participate in CrossFit training style exercise sessions.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0018/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR ASSESSMENT OF MOVEMENT COMPETENCE AMBITION AMONG HUMAN KINETICS STUDENTS IN SOUTH-WEST UNIVERSITIES, NIGERIA
Authors: Oyewumi Isaac Akinloye , Oyekan Adeolu Oluwaseyi , Honawon N. Philip 
Published: March 2024

This paper reports the quantitative phase of an ongoing explanatory sequential mixed methods research design on Movement Competence Ambition (MCA) among human kinetics students in public universities within the South-Western geo-political zone of Nigeria. The study holds and treats ambition as a psycho-philosophical concept. The psychological perspective of ambition implying achievement motivation was mixed with its philosophical view of honour-seeking behaviour. Both perspectives relate to Einstein’s inertial-tendency postulate regarding reference frames. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 418 respondents (199, 47.6% males; 219, 52.4% females); x̅ age = 20 years and 1 month). A self-developed 15-item validated questionnaire r =.81 built on the four “P’s” plus one added of ambition drivers, i.e. Predisposing, Precipitating, Perpetuating, Protective, and Prospective (added) factors was the main instrument for data collection. Descriptive statistics of frequency, and percentage, were employed to depict respondents’ bio-data while collected data was analysed with mean and rank ordered. Results indicate that 377 (90.2%) of the students were fairly ambitious while 41 (9.8%) were highly ambitious. 90.9% of males and 89.5% of females were fairly ambitious while more females (10.5%) were highly ambitious as compared to males (9.1%). Though there was no marked difference between the ambition statuses by gender, however, females showed a better level of ambition compared to males. The predisposing factors with a mean of 4.1 have the highest impact on movement competence ambition followed by precipitating factors with the second highest mean value of 3.5. Other factors do not affect the population's ambition status as the factors have mean values below the criterion average of 3.5. Therefore, the predisposing and precipitating factors are areas of concentration to enhance the students’ achievement goal orientation in movement competence.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0014/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: March 2024

<p>educational needs and examine the retention of their first aid knowledge and skills over time. <strong>Methods:</strong> We conducted an experimental longitudinal study in randomly chosen schools in Thesprotia, Greece. Twelve children, aged 4-8, and with special educational needs, underwent first aid training. We assessed their knowledge and skills using a questionnaire and specific scenarios one day before, one day after, and two- and seven-months post-training. <strong>Results:</strong> Before the training, the children did not answer the questionnaire correctly. However, after the training, all students got every question right. In the 2-month follow-up, their responses showed that the training kept their improvements. In the 7-month follow-up, there was a drop in the percentage of correct answers compared to the immediate post-test at 2 months. Based on the scenario-based assessment, before the training, the children did not know how to respond to a choking incident, but after training, all students reacted correctly. However, after two and seven months, students with special educational needs students had difficulty applying first aid skills correctly to a choking incident. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> Children with special educational needs can learn first aid, but they tend to forget some of this information after two months. However, additional research is needed to confirm these observations and explore similar studies involving children of different ages and various levels of special educational needs.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0014/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Kwamboka Gisore Varsytine , Murugami Margaret , Otube Nelly 
Published: March 2024

<p>The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of rehabilitees with visual impairment cane skills on their independent travel. The study was based on Bandura’s social cognitive learning theory. The researcher used a case study research design. The study was carried out at Kenya Institute for the Blind located in Nairobi County, Kenya. The target population was two orientation and mobility trainers and fifty rehabilitees with visual impairment who lost sight between the years 2011 and 2016 and who underwent rehabilitation at KIB. A purposive sampling technique was used to select KIB for the study. Snowball sampling technique was used to locate thirty-seven rehabilitees with visual impairment. Data was collected using questionnaires. The pilot study was conducted at Machakos Technical Institute for the Blind because of its similar characteristics in the admission of rehabilitees with visual impairment. The researcher ensured the content validity of the research instruments through discussion with supervisors and lecturers in the Department of early childhood and Special Needs Education. Quantitative data was gathered using questionnaires and processed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and presented using tables. The findings revealed that mobility canes were the main device used at Kenya Institute for the Blind for orientation and mobility. Worldwide, canes were the most used device for orientation and mobility for individuals with visual impairment. In KIB, the device was limited in supply and not readily available. Cane skills were the most popular orientation and mobility techniques among rehabilitees in KIB. The study concluded that rehabilitees were not adequately trained since a substantial period of time has elapsed yet they have not indicated favourable independent travel to their places of work. Orientation and mobility training at KIB led to the acquisition of necessary skills relevant to independent travel of individuals with visual impairment. The study recommended that there is a need for Kenya Government to facilitate the production of cheap locally made long canes suitable for our Kenyan roads.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: March 2024

<p>This study aims to find a relationship between the perceived job satisfaction of special education teachers and both their (1) socio-demographics (age, gender, years of experience, education level, working hours, type and the geographic area of educational institution, and type of employment) and their (2) self-efficacy. 205 special education teachers, female predominantly (94.6%), from 5 districts of Lebanon participated in this study. A correlation was found between special educators’ job satisfaction and their self-efficacy. Moreover, teachers with a higher level of education were more satisfied with their jobs than their counterparts who had lower education levels. A supportive school climate that fosters positive relationships with teachers and regular training programs for promoting teachers’ knowledge and skills development, were also recommended. </p><p align="right"><strong><em>هدفت الدراسة الحاليّة إلى كشف مستوى الرضا الوظيفي لدى معلّمي التربية الخاصّة من خمس محافظات في لبنان وعلاقته بمتغيّرات إجتماعيّة - ديموغرافيّة ( العمر،الجنس، الخبرة العمليّة، المستوى الدراسي، مكان وساعات العمل ، وطبيعة المؤسسة التعليمية) و الكفاءة الذاتيّة للمعلمين. أسفرت نتائج الدراسة عن وجود علاقة ترابطيّة بين الرضا الوظيفي و الكفاءة الذاتيّة لمعلمي التربية الخاصة. كما و أوضحت النتائج أنّ هناك فروقاً في الرضا الوظيفي يُعزى إلى متغيّر المؤهّل الدراسي الأعلى لدى معلمي التربية الخاصة . في ضوء ما أسفرت عنه الدراسة، يوصى بتعزيز فاعليّة معلّم التربية الخاصة و تشجيعه على اكتساب المعارف و المهارات و خبرات جديدة في بيئة مدرسيّة مشجّعة. </em></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The developments in the social, economic, technological, and health areas in society provide developments and changes in the care and welfare of disabled individuals. Studies in this area revealed the importance of learning in the realization of development and change and its effect on quality of life. One of the issues waiting for a solution is to integrate the disabled population with society and continue their lives without being cut off from social life, to be cared for correctly and on time, and to improve their quality of life in this context. For these reasons, it is important to investigate the disability together with the caregivers of the individual. The main purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between lifelong learning tendencies and the life quality of parents who provide special care. In addition, the relationship of these variables with sociodemographic variables such as age, gender, educational status, and disability rate and whether they show statistically significant differences are examined. This research is a quantitative study and the relational screening model is used. The sample group of the study consists of 85 voluntary disabled parents living in Fatsa district. "Personal Information Form", "Lifelong Learning Tendency Scale" and "Quality of Life Scale Turkish Version" are used to obtain the data. In the analysis of the data MS Excel and SPSS 26 package program are used. The normality of the distributions is checked using the Skewness and Kurtosis Analysis and the Shapiro-Wilk test. Pearson correlation analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and independent sample t-test are used for normally distributed data. Spearman-Brown correlation analysis, Mann Whitney - U test, and Kruskal Wallis H tests are used for abnormally distributed data. As a result of the analyzes, it is determined that there is a moderate and positive significant relationship between the lifelong learning tendencies of the parents who care for the disabled individuals and their life quality. After the results obtained in the research are discussed in the light of the literature, suggestions are made.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu/0729/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Muhlis  
Published: March 2024

Markisa, buah yang tumbuh di iklim tropis seperti Indonesia, sangat mudah tumbuh dan waktu pemanenannya pun cukup singkat. Kandungan air yang cukup banyak dalam buah markisa menyebabkan masa penyimpanannya tidak terlau lama. Alternatif minuman sirup markisa menjadi pilihan agar buah markisa tetap bisa dikonsumsi dengan jangka waktu lebih lama. Sebagai bahan minuman yang masih mengandung kadar air yang cukup tinggi penanganan pasca panen dan ketika sudah menjadi produk olahan, seperti misalnya sirup, harus benar-benar diperhatikan. Berbagai penelitian sudah dilakukan untuk memperpanjang masa simpan minuman buah, seperti misalnya dengan penambahan aditif. Kelemahan penggunaan aditif ini akan mempengaruhi rasa alami sari buah, untuk itu dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengawetan minuman buah (sirup) markisa dengan perlakuan panas menggunakan alat pemanas dan pemasak. Variasi suhu pemanasan dan arah pemanasan menjadi fokus penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dengan alat ini memberikan pengaruh penundaan pertumbuhan mikroorganisme dalam sirub markisa, waktu proses lebih cepat. Selain itu aroma dan rasa dari sirup markisa tetap terjaga. Analisis terhadap sirup markisa yang dilakukan meliputi uji pertumbuhan mikroorganisme, vitamin C dan kadaluarsa. Pada sirup buah markisa tidak ditemukan E.Coli, vitamin C 5,62 mg/100 mg sampel dan masa simpan dalam tempat yang tidak terkena matahari mencapai 6 bulan.
