This study aims to identify dominant theories, research areas, and trends related to coping issues in teacher education (TE) research. The origin of coping theories comes from psychology, but there is a growing shift in coping research related to teaching, problem-solving, and training programs in pedagogy. Although coping issues in TE affect teachers' teaching and learning, there have been very few systematic reviews of coping issues in TE these days. A systematized literature study is conducted for answering the research question: &quot;Which theories, research problems, and approaches have been used for coping issues in TE?&quot;. A literature search is undertaken using the Web of Science, Science Direct, and EBSCO (host) databases, and 61 studies published between 2016 and 2021 are reviewed. The findings report that stress, classroom management, professional relationship, and technology are common research problems related to coping issues in TE. Analysis of the studies also reveals dominant coping theories, research approaches, and research tools in TE research. This review can give researchers new insights in developing the literature and research tools about coping issues in TE. It also contributes to a broader focus on coping theories and research about coping issues in different TE systems.

In this study, it was aimed to examine 9th grade students' multiple representation translate skills in algebra learning area and the relationship between these representations translate skills. The study employs survey design. Selected through purposive sampling method, 637 ninth grade students in a socio-economically medium level province in Turkey participated to the study. Within the scope of the study, Multiple Representation Translating Measurement Tool (MRTMT) including four factors (verbal- graph- algebraic- table) was developed and data were collected through this instrument. The validity and reliability of the scale was tested with Rasch analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Cronbach Alpha value was calculated as 0.88. The findings show that students' skills of translating between representations level is low. In addition, students were most successful in expressing the situation with other representations when the table representation was given, but had difficulty in translating it to other representations when given an algebraic representation. Furthermore, it is found out that there is a significant relationship between students' translating skills to verbal- graph- algebraic- table representations. Accordingly, it can be suggested that each representation should be used in an interrelated and holistic way in algebra teaching.

In the first study we examined whether knowledge, social norms, value orientations and emotional affect about climate change (climate change) predict climate change risk perception among Transylvanian students. In the second study we examined whether climate change risk perception, psychological adaptation, mitigation beliefs and behavioral intention predict, both directly and indirectly, pro-environmental behavior (PEB). We also examined whether knowledge, deep engagement and affective involvement influence PEB. In the first study N = 84 (age M = 19.43, SD = 1.03), while in the second study N = 72 (M = 19.79, SD = 1.47), and N = 31 (M = 19.61, SD = 1.17) individuals participated. The participants filled the scales online. Internal consistency of the scales was found to be good. During the intervention the research group received brief synopses on climate change in writing, through e-mail, for five days. The results show that biosphere values and demographics significantly predict climate change risk perception. The intervention significantly increased PEB in the research group and this effect persisted for over a month.

Australian mathematics and science students have low participation in WIL, posing implications for student employability. To better understand this problem, an examination of the industry-placement and coursework-incorporated WIL offered across the Faculty of Science at a large research-intensive university was undertaken. The aim of the study was to provide an evidenced discussion of the types and amounts of WIL that different disciplines offer their students. A matrix was used to measure the inclusion of WIL activities in 265 courses (units of study) across all undergraduate programs in a Faculty of Science. The results, which show comparisons between disciplines, year levels, and class sizes, indicate that a high proportion of courses incorporate WIL, but that some disciplines are significantly more likely to incorporate WIL than others. This study provides important insights into how science students in different disciplines and in different levels of their degree are prepared for the workplace. In considering how to address graduate employability through integrating WIL in university STEM coursework, this study provides evidence-based justification to initiate reflection about pedagogy.

Although the Government of Ghana gives considerable attention to technical education to accelerate national development, some graduates remain unemployed for years after graduation. In this study, employability of mechanical engineering graduates from Sunyani Technical University of Ghana is presented. It assessed the employment status and duration of unemployment of the graduates, identified the factors that hinder their employability and the challenges that require attention prior to graduation of students, and made suggestions for improvement. Respondents of the study were 131 graduates from 2014-2017 graduation years, comprising 50% of graduates from each of the Program options in the department. The sampling techniques used were purposive and stratified random sampling techniques. A questionnaire was the research instrument used for data collection and it was administered using e-mails, WhatsApp and phone calls. The results revealed that the employment status of the graduates was about 84% with the duration of unemployment about 29%, 41% and 19% for one, two and three years after their national service respectively. The main factor hindering employability of the graduates was inadequate practical skills since more attention was given to theory at the expense of practical work. The main challenge which requires attention prior to graduation of students was the lack of job-seeking skills. The Department should therefore, focus more on the practical element of the Programs by increasing the practical hours and partner with industry for curriculum development, more internship opportunities and industrial tours, and organise seminars on job acquisition processes prior to graduation of students to enhance employability of the graduates.
