Doctoral students experience mental health concerns, while 12% to 30.9% utilize support services such as counseling and prescription medication. Overall, one out of two students do not graduate. This quantitative correlational study explored the relationship between doctoral students' mental health status and the utilization of mental health services using data from the 2018-2019 Healthy Minds Study (HMS) data set, resulting in a doctoral student sample of n = 5,568. The findings include statistically significant relationships between students' sense of belonging, GPA, relationship status and gender to an associated increase in mental health concerns with approximately 28% using services. Findings support that Institutions of Higher Education and doctoral program faculty could play a role in mitigating doctoral students' mental health concerns. To summarize the task set forth for the leaders in higher education, Brene Brown (2018) states &quot;...daring leaders who live into their values are never silent about hard things&quot; (p.184).

This study explored the English Language Teaching appraisal of teachers in the trifocal Philippine education system in the Bicol Region as a basis for policy and advancement programs. This study used the descriptive-comparative-associational method using a content-validated and reliability-tested questionnaire. The frequency and percentage technique, weighted mean, Chi-Square, and Anova Test of Variance were used in the data treatment. Findings revealed that ELT teachers were predominantly females with 73.97%, CHED, 80.21%, DepEd, and 71.43% TESDA along age groups of early and mid-30s and 46 years above. They served the agencies for less than 10 years, mostly married. Professionally, these teachers were still pursuing post-graduate education and attending training. Along with appraisals on their professional and work responsibility, ELT Trifocal teachers very evidently performed their professional and work responsibilities; on the delivery system, respondents conveyed the mastery and application of theoretical and pedagogical knowledge; on their communicative competencies, they were classified as experts. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference among ELT teachers' appraisal in the three systems (F--value 2.21&lt; t-value 3.35; 5% level of significance). It follows that Philippine education has maintained an undeviating quality of ELT teachers regardless of which system of education they belong. The result showed no variations in ELT competencies despite differences in modalities, urgencies, and the attainment of quality education. Findings also unveiled that the ELT teachers' appraisal and integration of ICT to language teaching are directly associated with their age, sex and civil status, and educational attainment. The higher the educational attainment, the higher the integration of ICT in language teaching. With these results, a policy development for the Professional Advancement Program in ELT was crafted.

Future time perspective is now increasingly catching attention in educational psychology field. There is evidence that students' future time perspective negatively affected students' academic procrastination. Although the relationship between future time perspective and academic procrastination is stable. There are research gaps to be filled. On the one hand, most attention was paid to older students such as undergraduates rather than primary students. On the other hand, we still know little about the mechanism of their relationship. This study aimed to explore the mediating role of students' positive emotion between their future time perspective and academic procrastination. A total of 185 (92are boys and 93 are girls) primary students completed measures self-report in the study. Correlational results showed that future time perspective positively correlated positive emotion, negatively associated with academic procrastination, and positive emotion negatively linked to academic procrastination. Bootstrapped mediation results showed positive emotion partially mediated the relationship between future time perspective and academic procrastination. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. [For the full proceedings, see ED631133.]

The main purpose of this study is to find the attributes of corporations that prevent hiring of highly educated female new graduates, who hold bachelor's or master's degrees. Our results show that the percentages of new graduates who majored in the field of humanities and of female employees positively correlate with the percentage of female new graduates, suggesting that corporations with many female employees also have a high percentage of hiring female graduates. Furthermore, the percentage of female managers and the presence of labor unions also tend to be positively significant on hiring percentage of female new graduates. However, we identified the two important factors as a hindrance to hiring new female graduates in Japanese corporations: (1) the tenure years of female employees and (2) the percentage of employees working overseas. Although the promotion of female employees is on the rise in Japan, these findings indicate that the positions of female employees are still limited within gender-specific jobs or positions that do not require a business trip or relocation. A closer focus on these issues should be warranted in future studies. [For the full proceedings, see ED631133.]

Technology-driven shifts have created opportunities to improve efficiency and quality of assessments. Meanwhile, they may have exacerbated underlying socioeconomic issues in relation to educational equity. The increased implementation of technology-based assessments during the COVID-19 pandemic compounds the concern about the digital divide, as digital access, connectivity, and coping strategies vary across the globe. This systematic review was intended to answer how the use of technology-based assessments has affected the education system's functioning, compared to traditional assessments that do not employ any technology solution. It covered 34 countries from 34 full-text sources in English published in 2018-2022. A total of 12 themes emerged corresponding to six hypotheses about technology-based assessments. In summary, when compared with traditional paper-based exams, mixed evidence was found when testing assumptions about technology-based assessments' roles in cheating reduction, learning boost, monitoring support, instructional improvement, and non-teaching workload reduction. Strong supporting evidence was found when testing assumptions about technology-based assessments' higher measurement precision, easier interpretation, higher learner engagement, and more interaction with others at the learning level, in addition to smoother communication with parents at the educating level. Limited but positive evidence at the management level suggested that technology-based assessments are more cost-effective and time-efficient.
