EFFECTS OF COLLECTIVE ACTION ON PERFORMANCE OF WOMEN-ONED MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES IN SELECTED COUNTIES IN KENYA
Authors: Tsuma Faith Achungo , Wawire Nelson 
Published: July 2023

<p>Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are imperative in boosting manufacturing in Kenya. Stakeholders including the government have advanced initiatives to promote MSMEs by providing affordable loans and developing policies to help them thrive. Despite these efforts, there is sluggishness in the way manufacturing enterprises owned by women perform. Collective action could be employed to reverse this situation considering that most women are good at networking. This study’s objective is to determine the effect of collective action on the performance of women-owned manufacturing enterprises. The study uses the primary data collected by interviewing 55 women who owned enterprises. The women were selected through a simple random sampling technique and a structured questionnaire administered. This data was complemented by published data from government policy documents. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were done to establish the degree to which collective action influenced how women-owned manufacturing enterprises performed in Kenya. Spearman’s Rank correlation analysis established that collective action was strongly and positively correlated with the performance of women-owned manufacturing enterprises. This was further investigated through regression analysis and it was found that collective action positively affected those enterprises' performance. The study recommends that women who own enterprises in the manufacturing sector should embrace networking through belonging to a group(s) or business organization(s) in order to improve the performance of their enterprises.</p><p><strong>JEL:</strong> L25; J16; D70</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0051/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
PARENTAL SUPPORT AND ENGLISH ACHIEVEMENT: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF ACADEMIC SELF-CONCEPT
Authors: Wu Yajun , Yi Qiang 
Published: July 2023

The contribution of parental support to academic achievement has been adequately explored. However, the mediating mechanisms between parental support and academic achievement should be more studied, especially in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). Consequently, this study was designed to examine whether academic self-concept a mediating between parental support and academic achievement among Chinese EFL learners. Participants were 499 Chinese secondary EFL learners selected through convenience sampling. The relationship between parental support, academic self-concept, and English achievement was explored by structural equation modelling analysis (SEM) and mediation analysis while controlling for gender and age. Results showed that parental support could affect English achievement directly and indirectly through academic self-concept. Additionally, academic self-concept fully mediated the relationship between parental support and English achievement. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations and directions for future research are discussed.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0401/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Kapucu Munise Seçkin , Parlak Ayşen 
Published: July 2023

In this research, the cartoon "Yade Yade" broadcasted on TRT Çocuk, Turkey's national channel where programs for children's education are broadcast, was examined in terms of number sense components. In this context, 52 episodes of the cartoon "Yade Yade", which has been broadcast on TRT Çocuk since 2020, were used as data sources. Document analysis method was used in data analysis. The 52 episodes of the cartoon "Yade Yade" were examined in terms of number sense components (counting aloud, measuring concepts, nonverbal calculation, number identification, and quantity discrimination) used by Lago and DiPerna (2010). When the number components were analyzed for each section, it was seen that the measuring concepts component was mostly emphasized. This number sense component was followed by number determination, recognizing quantity, counting aloud and nonverbal calculation components. Various suggestions were developed in line with the results of the study. "Yade Yade" cartoon can be used for educational purposes in mathematics lessons in schools to emphasize the number sense, especially the component of measuring concepts. This and similar cartoons can be analyzed in terms of content and concept teaching can be realized in lessons.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0063/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

GPTEACHER: EXAMINING THE EFFICACY OF CHATGPT AS A TOOL FOR PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION
Authors: Graefen Bahar , Fazal Nadeem 
Published: July 2023

<p>The language used in healthcare to describe diseases, medical procedures, and treatments is identified as medical terminology. Learning medical terminology can be problematic owing to its complexity and volume. Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an artificial intelligence (AI) language model that can simulate human conversations while providing individualized feedback, making it potentially a viable tool for learning medical terminology. The purpose of this study is to look at the benefits of using ChatGPT to learn medical terminology. A ChatGPT-based group studied medical terminology using the ChatGPT platform, while a traditional study group heard lectures and read textbooks. Following the study sessions, both groups carried out a test to evaluate their understanding and comprehension of medical terms. The study showed that the ChatGPT-based platform was more effective than traditional teaching techniques in increasing students' knowledge and understanding of medical terminology. When compared to the traditional instruction group, the group using the ChatGPT platform demonstrated significant improvements in their test results. ChatGPT offers the opportunity to improve medical terminology learning by providing students with interactive and individualized feedback. The outcomes of this study can assist with the development of novel and successful teaching techniques incorporating artificial intelligence into education.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0031/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS AND MICROAGGRESSION: WHAT DO THEY THINK? HOW DO THEY DO IT? HOW DO THEY REACT TO IT?
Authors: Henden Elgiz , Gümüşeli Ali İlker 
Published: July 2023

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The current study focused on the opinions and reactions of school principals regarding microaggression, a new concept for Turkey, as well as the impacts of such behavior. <strong>Research Method:</strong> The research was conducted according to the qualitative research methodology while the interview technique was used as data collection tool. Descriptive analysis of the data acquired from focus group discussions with 12 school principals in two different groups. For data analysis, firstly encoding was carried out, and then, the arrangement of codes, clarification and interpretation of findings were done respectively. <strong>Findings:</strong> It was found out that school principals were not cognizant of microaggression and in need of developing awareness, knowledge, ability, and attitude for perpetrators, targets, and witnesses of microaggressions. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Upon a holistic assessment of the findings, this study proved that educational directors in Turkey lack of knowledge and awareness, and are in need of education in terms of microaggression. That microaggression has a motivational aspect, and that associations of intervention in microaggressions with age are the unique outcomes of this study. Furthermore, it is concluded that in sub-dimensional derogation of microaggression, “comparison with others” may be included in behavioral definitions and that the concept of “communicational abuse” may be used as a Turkish equivalent.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0061/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
