Service-learning literature regularly recommends small group activities as a learning tool but rarely examines the use of a broader application of a small group dynamics framework into a service-learning course. In this research, we explore the integration of small group dynamics frameworks into a service-learning classroom; this pedagogical layering enhances the desired outcomes of service-learning. This intentional layering aims to reinvigorate research and practice in the areas of curricular design, theoretical framing, and pedagogical approaches.

Death of one's child is an unfathomable painful situation that a mother may feel. While literature reports different coping strategies across cultures, there has no research yet that explored the grieving process that Meranao mothers go through when they lost a child. Hence, this study explored the grieving process of the bereaved Meranao mothers from the Southern Philippines over the loss of their children and the strategies they used to cope with the feelings of grief. The study was conducted at different barangays located in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines. The participants lost children with age range of 18-30 years old. It was discovered that these bereaved mothers ask several questions to themselves emerging after the death of their children. Nonetheless, it was found that after the mothers had worked through their grief brought by their child's death, they were able to restore their life and become stronger and resilient individuals. This paper concludes that bereaved mothers go through a tedious journey wherein the existence of pain, longing, sadness, guilt and anger were felt, but these emotions only strengthen them as mothers.

Investigating on what school- and student-level factors are related to pupils' learning orientations was the main purpose of this study. The study used a sample of 2917 middle school pupils across Turkey. The Test of Science Related Attitude, Learning Approach Questionnaire and the Achievement Motivation Questionnaire were utilised as data collection tools. Analysis revealed that there were significant differences in pupils' learning orientations with respect to both meaningful learning orientation and rote learning orientation. When learning and motivational factors were examined it was found that performance goal orientation and learning goal orientation positively contributed to both meaningful learning and rote learning orientations. Upon examination of sub-dimensions of attitudes toward science, it was determined that the adaptation of scientific attitudes and leisure interest in science made positive and significant contributions to meaningful learning orientation while enjoyment of science lessons contributed to students' meaningful learning orientation negatively. With respect to rote learning orientation, both adaptation of scientific attitudes and enjoyment of science lessons negatively contributed.

People have the tendencies to be involved or engaged in transgression. While some may be forgiving and move forward, others hold grudges, resentment, or feel remorse. In the context of social, behavioral science, this is worth investigating. Thus, this study aimed at analyzing the indicatives of forgivingness in a transgression-related act and if these are associated with Gender and age. The main instrument used is the Transgression Narrative Test of Forgivingness (TNTF) which is a tool to measure forgivingness of the Meranao living in Lanao del Sur, Philippines. The respondents were 150 Meranao Students (senior high and college students). This study employed a quantitative design that described, compared and correlated variables. Findings indicated that Meranao students are most forgiving towards scenarios in which a transgressor causes a friend to fail in the submission of a job application and least forgiving towards a scenario where a transgressor causes one of the family members to die. Meranaos' age range from 15 to 25 shows no difference in forgivingness between men and women. Results showed a very weak association in age groups. Future researchers may use other situational scales and tools to identify further results and use comprehensive age groups (young, middle-age, and old adult) examining respondents' forgivingness and its significant differences.

Autonomous Republics, although situated within the borders of a state, have the right to govern themselves within their own borders. The most concrete indicator of a state's autonomy is its flag, its national language, its national culture and its national education. In this context, the language and education policies come into play in the building of a new political union and a national identity. For example, Gagauzia (or Gagauzia Autonomous Region), which was shaped by many historical periods from the Ottoman Empire (from the 16th century until 1812) to the Russian Empire (1721-1917) and to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922-1991), is nowadays within the borders of the Republic of Moldova. It is an autonomous republic with the right to self-government. This paper aims to analyze the language and education policies determined and applied for the Gagauz Turks in Moldova. It is possible to argue that there is a relationship between the notions of &quot;autonomous republic&quot; and &quot;language and education policy.&quot; In the autonomous republic, this policy will be described as a policy-based not only on the national identity, but also the plurilingualism.

Cooperative measures are defined as those endeavors which enable an association of a number of people to operate jointly toward the same end and share in the ensuing benefits. It is assumed that groups of educators and institutions are more effective in solving the complex problems of education than if independent and unilateral actions are taken There is a need to articulate a model for international cooperation to guide international educational research exchange. The review of the literature and an in-depth analysis of experiences related to the International Consortium for Research in Science and Mathematics Education (ICRSME) has led to the identification of several essential components and operating principles for maximizing the success of similar international education consortiums. This paper will describe a model for the development of an international consortium focused upon educational research along with a discussion of its implementation. Each of the model components will be described along with a discussion of the activities, consequences, and recommendations related to the efforts of ICRSME. With increased attention to the elaboration of the consortium model, its components, operation, and benefits, both the consortium model and ICRSME have evolved over time.

Since 1987, the College of Health and Human Services at San Diego State University has facilitated two-way exchanges of information and service with the Republic of China, a model of a newly industrialized country of the Pacific Rim. The challenges of working creatively to educate the College and University to international opportunities with the Republic of China, Taiwan, are presented in this paper as a case study. It includes a description of the elements of a global shift in relationships between the countries of the Northern Hemisphere (North America and Europe) and those of the Pacific Rim, specifically the Pacific-Asian countries that border the Pacific Ocean including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Singapore. The projected population growth of the countries in the Pacific Rim, combined with their large trade surplus and increased standard of living create a great economic interest to the countries in the Northern Hemisphere. The evolution of the Republic of China from a developing country to a &quot;newly industrialized country&quot; is presented as a case study that illustrates the impetus of the global shift. In addition, a model of assessment of educational training, participation and exchange at the departmental, college and university levels is included as well as a developmental program with the Republic of China. Finally, implications for future international development are addressed. [This article is reprinted from the &quot;Phi Beta Delta International Review,&quot; Volume II, Fall 1991, pp. 67-75.

A serious question facing the world's leaders today is how responsibility for the new global problems will be shared in the international Community. Continuing population growth, the accumulation of Greenhouse gases, and the clearing of tropical forests are a class of problems whose consequences are cumulative, whose causes are interactive, and whose effects transcend national boundaries. Today there exist few effective models in the world for managing' such complex problems. In order to expand the existing international health curriculum, a self-administered questionnaire was designed as an assessment tool. A total of 365 students were surveyed from randomly selected health classes at the California State University, Long Beach. The questionnaire consisted of 20 true-false questions, 20 multiple choice and 16 attitude scale questions. Several resources were used to design the existing instrument. This instrument was developed from informal class evaluations and a pre-assessment tool to its existing form. Most international health curricula go beyond the acquisition of knowledge to encompass attitudes and behavioral changes. The purpose of this study was to create a tool that would enable health educators to identify. measure, and assess their students' knowledge and attitude toward international health issues. As a result, teachers would be able to formulate a baseline and a point of departure for teaching courses in this area.

Purpose: Assessment rubric often lacks rigor and is underutilized. This article reports the effectiveness of the use of several assessment rubrics for a research writing course. In particular, we examined students' perceived and observed changes in their Chapter One thesis writing as assessed by supervisors using an existing departmental rubric and a new task-specific rubric. Methodology: Using action research methodology, two of the authors played active roles as course supervisors, i.e. practitioners. Two final year undergraduate students from a communication department (one from each supervisor) participated by writing three drafts of Chapter One of their research: (1) without a rubric, (2) with an existing departmental rubric, and (3) with a revised rubric. We collected data on the students' drafts, students' interviews and the supervisors' reflections over the course of four months. We employed content analysis to evaluate the students' writing, and thematic analysis to analyze the students' semi-structured interviews and the supervisors' reflections. Findings: The findings suggest substantial improvements between the three drafts of the students' writing. Each student-supervisor pair acknowledged improvements in the students' writing after the introduction of the departmental rubric. With the newly revised rubric, they noted additional as well as specific improvements especially in the scope of literature searches, problem statements, formulation of research questions, and operational definitions of variables. Generally, they also indicated improvements in the clarity of writing by way of examples and relevant explanations tailored to the research topics. Significance: With effective scaffolding in supervision, students will regulate their learning and assess the quality of their own research report writing. We demonstrated the importance and benefits of a properly designed and validated rubric tailored to the programme and course objectives to help students improve their drafts. Collective collaboration and input-sharing from faculty and instructors in developing and improving a rubric specific to the course and programme objectives will produce quality assignments, provide constructive learning experience for students, and achieve better grading for the programme and department.

Purpose: At the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic affected many aspects of life, including education. In response, the Indonesian government mandated all educational institutions, including universities, to implement online learning. Through online learning, many university students experienced considerable changes in the way they regulated their knowledge-seeking process. This research examined the level of EFL university students' self-regulated learning during their online learning activities for an English academic writing course, as well as the difficulties encountered and strategies developed in the online learning context. Methodology: This research employed a convergent mixed-method research design by adapting the Online Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (Barnard et al., 2009) and an open-ended questionnaire to discover the students' difficulties and strategies during online learning. The study involved 307 students of the English 3 (Academic Writing) course at President University, Indonesia. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyse the quantitative data sets, while the qualitative data sets were systematically coded and thematically analysed. Findings: The statistical analysis indicated that the students had a medium level of self-regulated learning skills. The qualitative analysis revealed that in the context of online self-regulated learning, the issues they faced included technical, material, time management, study space, and motivation issues. At the same time, the students attempted to alleviate these issues by improving collaboration and time management, and adopting technical, academic, and affective strategies. Significance: By exploring the level of students' self-regulated learning skills, this study provides insights for universities and lecturers into students' ability to regulate their learning in an online learning context. Additionally, this study has identified the difficulties students face in the online learning process and their strategies to overcome these issues, which can practically inform educational institutions about the necessary support that should be provided to facilitate students' self-regulated learning skills in the online learning context.

Service-learning is integral to most American higher education institutions' mission in fostering community and civic engagement in a democratic society. Service-learning designation courses are mechanisms used to link courses to communities and to integrate experiential learning into education. The effects of the courses on student outcomes are multifaceted but warrant further inquiry. This exploratory study endeavors to investigate post service-learning course effects on student outcome indicators like connection of limited time community volunteering to academic course material; awareness of self and community needs; impacts on academic and career goals at a four-year public university in the United States. This research, which aims to boost the knowledge-based of service-learning designation courses' impacts on students, theorized that to predict and measure the outcomes of service learning on students and courses the characteristics of student participants are critical indicators. The findings revealed that gender (female), age (older) and no prior community civic engagement students benefited the most from service-learning designation courses. The study highlights the significance of (a) diverse student characteristics like age and gender; and (b) experiential learning of younger students like freshmen and sophomores and those with no prior community service experiences in the design and development of service-learning designated courses.
