Published: January 2023

<p>This study evaluated the effectiveness of psychoeducation intervention in enhancing sexual health literacy (SHL) among adolescents at risk of HIV. Sixty adolescents aged 12-19 years (x̄=15.2) who reported low in Dilorio et al. (1993) Safe Sex Behaviour Questionnaire (SSBQ) were recruited from two secondary schools in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, and randomly assigned to treatment and waiting-list group. The intervention group received seven sessions of group-based psychoeducation intervention aimed at improving their HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitude toward HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT), as well as the attitude toward contraceptive use. Participants in the waiting-list control group were not exposed to the intervention. Results show that psychoeducation was effective in improving the sexual health literacy of participants (F (1,59) = 7264.742, p&lt;0.05). Further, there was no interaction effect of gender on the treatment outcome. This outcome suggests that psychoeducation is a viable intervention for enhancing sexual health literacy aimed at reducing HIV new infections among the adolescent cohort. Psychoeducation intervention is, therefore, recommended as an effective treatment to curb new HIV infection among adolescents. </p><p> </p>Cette étude a évalué l'efficacité de l'intervention psychoéducative pour améliorer la littératie en santé sexuelle (SHL) chez les adolescents à risque de VIH. Soixante adolescents âgés de 12 à 19 ans (x ̄ = 15.2) qui ont déclaré un faible taux de Dilorio et al. (1993) Questionnaire sur le comportement sexuel sûr (SSBQ) ont été recrutés dans deux écoles secondaires de l'État d'Akwa Ibom, au Nigéria, et affectés au hasard à un groupe de traitement et de liste d'attente. Le groupe d'intervention a reçu sept séances d'intervention psychoéducative en groupe visant à améliorer leurs connaissances sur le VIH / SIDA, leur attitude envers le conseil et le dépistage du VIH (HCT) ainsi que leur attitude envers l'utilisation des contraceptifs. Les participants au groupe témoin de la liste d'attente n'ont pas été exposés à l'intervention. Les résultats montrent que la psychoéducation a été efficace pour améliorer la littératie en santé sexuelle des participants (F (1,59) = 7264,742, p &lt; 0,05). De plus, il n'y a eu aucun effet d'interaction du sexe sur le résultat du traitement. Ce résultat suggère que la psychoéducation est une intervention viable pour améliorer la littératie en santé sexuelle visant à réduire les nouvelles infections à VIH parmi la cohorte des adolescents. L'intervention psychoéducative est donc recommandée comme traitement efficace pour limiter la nouvelle infection à VIH.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0261/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Vlachava Damiani 
Published: January 2023

The suspension of school operations, which lasted for a long period of time to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, posed significant challenges to educational institutions to continue their operations smoothly. This pilot research study explores the views and experiences of 50 theatre teachers on the implementation of distance learning in primary schools during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this research, an attempt was made to investigate the difficulties and obstacles that arose during the implementation of distance learning, as well as to record the challenges and opportunities for teaching the theatre course. The main objectives of the study were to explore the challenges of the role of theatre teachers and the difficulties they were faced with, the possibilities of their cooperation with the leadership of the school units, with their colleagues, as well as the communication with children and their families. A questionnaire was used as the main research tool for data collection, which was designed and consisted of Likert scale questions. Some of the main findings were the lack of preparation of teachers in the implementation of distance learning, technical barriers, high levels of stress, and intense concern in the digital classroom. Also, the challenges and difficulties of the students in attending the distance learning of the theatre education were mentioned, as well as the involvement of the parents in the process. Finally, the findings regarding the support and attitude of the school leadership are commented.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0208/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

THE ROLE OF FAMILY INSTABILITY AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE CHILD'S COGNITIVE AREA/DEVELOPMENTAL AREA: CHILD AND LANGUAGE
Authors: Katerina Koti 
Published: January 2023

In the present study, the first and strongest environmental impact on children's developmental effects is presented, which comes from the family context, where children live and are active in the first years of life. In more detail, we focused on the detailed analysis of specific characteristics of parents, such as their socio-economic and educational level, family structure, age, and citizenship of the parents, as well as whether or not they have attended a family support program, characteristics that contribute in the formation of an appropriate or non-family environment and considered by the scientific community to be able to influence the level of a child's cognitive development, and in particular "oral speech", "reading" and "scripture and written expression".<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0369/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Christodoulidis Triantafyllos , Tzioumakis Yannis S. , Gorozidis Georgios S. , Papaioannou Athanasios G. 
Published: January 2023

The present article reports on two studies (pilot and main) aiming to examine the psychometric properties of two scales assessing (a) teachers’ work motivation and (b) their involvement in non-teaching work tasks, and to explore the associations between the two constructs under the theoretical framework of self-determination theory (SDT). A Greek version of Blais’ Work Motivation Inventory (BWMI-TGr) was adapted for teachers, and a new instrument measuring teacher behaviour relevant to non-teaching work tasks was developed. Rigorous analyses supported the construct validity and internal consistency of the scales used. The findings suggested that teachers’ intrinsic motivation presents the most optimal patterns of relationships with non-teaching work behaviours, such as preparation for teaching, professional training, education-related reading, collaboration with parents, and participation in the school’s cultural activities. Identified and introjected regulations exhibited positive relationships only with teacher involvement in cultural activities, whereas external regulation had no positive relationship with non-teaching work tasks. The findings are discussed through the lens of SDT and strategies are proposed for school climate improvements, which target the cultivation of teachers’ intrinsic motivation at work.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0261/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
AVAILABILITY OF SANITATION FACILITIES AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF CHILDREN IN PRE-PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN MATHARE SUB-COUNTY IN NAIROBI CITY COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Mwangi Nancy Njeri H. , Ndani Mary 
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study was to establish the contribution of the availability of sanitation facilities to the academic performance of children in pre-primary schools in Mathare Sub- County. The study was built on the theory of Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. A descriptive research design was used to achieve the research objectives. The target population was 68 Early Childhood Development Education centers distributed within Mathare Sub-County. Stratified sampling was used to select 136 teachers to participate in the study. A pilot study was undertaken to establish the reliability and validity of the research instruments. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to generate both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study employed an independent sample t-test as well as a chi-square analysis. Data were presented in tables and charts and interpretations were made based on research objectives. Findings revealed that all schools under the study had functional hand-washing facilities. Most APBET schools had one hand washing facility with no soap most of the time. Very few have at least two hand washing facilities with no soap most of the time. All public schools had hand washing and anal cleansing materials. All public schools had hand washing and anal cleansing materials. However, the anal cleansing materials in public schools purposely served the teachers and staff alone. Findings revealed that the majority of schools did not have quality sanitation since an average of only 9 schools could meet the quality standards of sanitation in Mathare slums. Sanitation facilities in pre-primary schools were not fully utilizable as toilets were in pathetic conditions in more than 50% of the schools engaged in the study. the study concluded that there are big deficits in sanitation facilities and materials in the sampled schools of Mathare slums because all schools demonstrated that one toilet could be shared by over one hundred pupils at any given time during school hours. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education should conduct regular monitoring and evaluation of school sanitation and hygiene standards as part of its regulatory roles.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0269/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Regis Domer P. , Tupas John Paul C. , Soniedo Fhaila Donn , Lauzon Ma. Regine M. 
Published: January 2023

Using the quantitative research method, the effectiveness of professional trainings that have been undertaken by teachers as well as the impact on teachers’ teaching practices were determined. It likewise explored whether teachers’ assessment scores were significantly associated with their profile characteristics. The common professional trainings undertaken include in-service trainings (100%), education conferences (97.1%), informal dialogue with colleagues (97.1%), and individual or group research (91.2%). Of all the professional training activities, only getting involved with teachers on how to improve teaching practice was assessed to be highly effective in developing their competence, knowledge, and expertise. However, benchmarking visits to other colleges or universities and faculty participation in a professional organization that are helpful to their teaching profession was determined to be only moderately effective. The respondents reported significant improvements in their teaching practices in connection with content and pedagogy, diversity of learners, community linkages, and professional engagement. A positive relationship was found between the variable age and respondents’ assessment scores on benchmarking visits to other colleges or universities and individual or group research on the field of interest. However, a negative relationship exists between respondents’ highest educational attainment and assessment scores on professional links with colleagues such as mentoring, and coaching among others as part of the institutional policy. Thus, a teacher’s training that encourages collaboration and sharing of knowledge should be promoted.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0257/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
EFL VIETNAMESE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN FACE-TO-FACE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Huong Tran Le Kim 
Published: January 2023

English has gradually been very important in education in Vietnam and it is taught from the early ages. However, many students cannot communicate English appropriately after graduation. There are many reasons for this, but student engagement is considered as one of the major reasons which cause the low level of English proficiency of Vietnamese students. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate EFL Vietnamese students’ perceptions of their engagement with English learning in the face-to-face learning environment. A quantitative method was employed. The sample consisted of 428 students who have studied English. The results revealed that students were highly engaged with their learning. Students indicated that they were cognitively engaged with learning the best and were agentically engaged the least. In addition, the findings also showed that English major students were more engaged with their learning than their non-English major counterparts. The students in the group of freshman and sophomore year combined were found to be more engaged than those in junior and senior years. Some implications from the findings were also suggested.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0542/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
AN EXAMINATION OF THE IMPACT OF TEACHER FACTORS ON MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE OF LEARNERS WITH DYSCALCULIA IN PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN STAREHE SUB-COUNTY, NAIROBI CITY COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Kahenya Petronilla , Muthee Jessina J. M. , Karia Mathew 
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of teacher factors on the Mathematics performance of learners with dyscalculia in public primary schools in Starehe Sub-county, Nairobi City County. The study was guided by the social development theory of learning by Vygotsky (1978). The study was a mixed-method research applying a descriptive survey design. The target population was class seven pupils and their Mathematics teachers in 4 public primary schools in Starehe Sub-county. A sample size of 42 class seven pupils and 8 class seven Mathematics teachers were used. The purposive sampling technique was used to select teachers where only Mathematics teachers for class seven were sampled. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the learners. Data from the teachers was collected using a questionnaire. On the other hand, data from the pupils was collected using the Dyscalculia Screening Tool (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - WSIC III). School records were also examined to assess pupils’ Mathematics performance. Quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive statistics of frequencies, percentages and mean with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Qualitative data was analyzed by organizing it into themes corresponding to the study objectives and used to enhance the quantitative findings. Findings indicated that most teachers had a strong positive attitude towards Mathematics and their teaching profession in general which on stood at a mean of 4.4 on a scale of 5. Concerning the effect of the different teacher factors assessed on pupils’ Mathematics performance, teachers’ attitude had the highest mean (4.9) followed by teachers’ workload (mean = 4.8) and teaching experience (mean = 4.5). The study concludes that although the majority of the Mathematics teachers in public schools in the sub-county have vast teaching experience, few have acquired formal training in special needs education. Overall, teachers’ factors greatly affect pupils’ Mathematics performance in public primary schools. Teachers’ academic qualifications also affect the pupils’ Mathematics performance but to a lesser extent compared to teachers’ attitude, teachers’ workload and teaching experience. The study recommended that the government, through the Ministry of Education, need to consider organizing in-service training for primary school teachers with Mathematics learning disabilities.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0929/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
EFFECTIVENESS OF GROUP GUIDANCE DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVING STUDENT'S ACADEMIC GRIT
Authors: Munawaroh Lailatul , Wangid Muhammad Nur 
Published: January 2023

<p>The problems that arise during the learning process are often not due to the students' cognitive inability, but rather the result of a lack of academic grit. Academic grit is important to make individuals work hard, have high standards, focus on fulfilling responsibilities, and continue to show effort despite failure, difficulties, and obstacles that always come in the way. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of discussion technique group guidance to improve students' academic grit. This study uses an experimental method with a pretest-posttest one-group design with as many as 9 students as the subject of the Islamic Education Guidance and Counseling Study Program, Raden Intan State Islamic University, Lampung, Indonesia. The data collection technique used an academic grit scale. Data analysis of the results of hypothesis testing based on the Wilcoxon test using SPSS V25 obtained the value asymp. sig (2 tailed) 0,007 &lt; 0,05 and from the results of the pretest-posttest from the mean of 62 to 70, it can be concluded that the discussion technique group guidance is effective in increasing students' academic grit. From the results obtained the researchers suggest to 1) Student academic supervisor, when providing consulting services to students, the guidance service would be better to do it in groups because groups research shows that it can increase students' academic grit, 2) Students of the Islamic Education Guidance and Counseling Study Program at the State Islamic University of Raden Intan Lampung Indonesia Batch of 2021 should participate in group guidance service activities with full commitment from the beginning to the end of the activity because with group guidance it can increase students' academic grit. 3) Then suggestions for future researchers, to increase academic grit, can be tried with group guidance using other techniques. <strong></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0960/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
