The aim of this study; is to examine the critical thinking dispositions and achievement goal orientations of university students in terms of various variables, and to determine the predictive level of students' critical thinking dispositions on their achievement goal orientations. The sample of the research consists of 785 (333 female, 452 male) university students studying at Sivas Cumhuriyet University in the spring semester of 2021-2022 academic year. The study group of the research was determined by the random sampling method, which is one of the screening methods. &quot;California Critical Thinking Disposition Scale&quot; and &quot;Achievement Goal Orientations Scale&quot; were used to obtain the research data. Descriptive and normality analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Tukey and multiple regression analysis were used to obtain the data. In the findings obtained, students' critical thinking dispositions were related to the variables of grade level, income status, and graduated school type; on the other hand, it was determined that achievement goal orientations differed statistically significantly according to the type of program studied, class level, income status, and type of school graduated. In addition, it was determined that the change in the sub-dimensions of the critical thinking dispositions scale explained the learning/approach goal orientation by 12.2%, the learning/avoidance goal orientation by 12.6%, the performance/approach goal orientation by about 10.6%, and the performance/avoidance goal orientation by about 15.2%.

The article uses a multi-faceted approach to present the major challenges to vocational education and training (VET) that Hungary and Poland have been facing during the transformation of their economic systems in 1989 and integration into the EU in 2004. The evolution of VET is examined according to historical traditions, its declining prestige, the introduction of dual training, governance, and the involvement of social partners. We also look at recent changes in the two countries as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss the current situation in the light of VET scenarios recently developed by Cedefop.

Since the mid 1990s vocational and education and training systems across Europe have had to respond to a number of external factors which have transformed the demand for skills. This paper examines the way in which VET systems have responded to the external factors and increase their resilience in the face of external shocks of one kind or another. The paper also reveals the way in which VET increasing established itself as a mainstream option for young people over the same period because of its capacity to deliver skills which the labour market demands.

This study examined perceived implications for equitable outcomes of students based on organizational changes related to developmental education reform, California Assembly Bill 705. The research site was a Hispanic Serving Community College with a majority Latinx student population. This instrumental case study employed various methods, including semi-structured interviews, document collection and analysis, physical artifact collection, and observations. The inquiry prioritized learning from eleven participants (faculty, staff, and administration) who were charged with implementing AB 705. Findings included three primary themes related to the implications for equitable outcomes for Latinx students, &quot;Prioritizing Equity Through Institutional Documents,&quot; &quot;Removing Institutional Barriers as a Form of Student Empowerment,&quot; and &quot;Threats to Equitable Outcomes.&quot; Results of this study revealed positive implications attributed to prioritizing equity in institutional documents and removing institutional barriers. Conversely, the findings also exposed underlying problems of practice that persist in higher education, such as implicit biases, and race-neutral and color-blind approaches to understanding equity. This research will be of interest to those invested in similar change processes.

This study examined children's fear responses to everyday TV news with regards to the following: (a) the consistency between mothers' observations and children's reports on TV induced fears, (b) the relationships between TV news contents that frighten children with regards to their age and gender, and (c) the most common fearful coverage of TV news for children. In the study a quantitative research design was adopted. Television News Induced Fright Scale (TNIFS) and a demographic information form were administered to 186 mothers and their 186 children (ages from 8 to 13). Findings revealed inconsistency between responses of mothers and their children about children's TV news induced fears. Mothers overestimate their children's TV news induced fears regarding in terms of news coverage of interpersonal violence, war and suffering, fires and accidents and fantasy characters. Gender but not age differences were found. &quot;Children and animals who get hurt&quot;, &quot;kidnapped children&quot;, and &quot;starving children in poor countries&quot; were reported by children as some of the most fearful news coverages.

During the SARS-2-COVID pandemic our institution sought to continue the teaching and learning of experimental laboratories by designing, assembling, and delivering a microscale chemistry kit to the students' homes. Thanks to this approach students were able to perform [approximately]25 experiments during each one of the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters in an elective Electrochemistry and Corrosion course offered to Chemical Engineering undergraduates. In addition to performing traditional experiments, students were encouraged to design some of their own and have the entire group reproduce them. One of such student-designed experiments involved the capture of CO[subscript 2] and its reduction with a readily available active metal (i.e., Al foil) in aqueous media to generate potentially useful products. The highly negative standard potential of Al is exploited for the reduction of lab-generated CO[subscript 2], and the products are chemically tested. Al as a foil has been reported to be electrochemically inactive for carbon dioxide reduction. However, encouraged by an earlier report of the reduction of CO[subscript 2] to CO, the Al surface is activated in the present experiment by removal of its natural oxide layer with a solution of CuCl[subscript 2] produced in an electrochemical cell. This procedure enables Al to react with CO[subscript 2] and yield useful chemistry. This experiment turned to be a discovery trip. The detailed procedure is discussed here, as well as the teaching methodology, grading scheme, and student outcomes.

This educational case study examines the efforts of one Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) to counter deficit narratives and provide institutional as well as interpersonal supports for Latinx student success through a Student Leadership Retreat. We consider these activities and students' experiences therein through the lenses of Latinx leadership and Gloria Anzaldúa's notion of &quot;conocimiento.&quot; To do so, we rely on established methods in Chicanx Studies that center the voices of participants and communities to foreground emic systems of knowledge and activity qualitatively. Specifically, we examined students' experiences in programming undergirded by &quot;conocimiento&quot; (iterative and dialogic understanding of ourselves and others), &quot;cariño&quot; (care for self and others), and &quot;confianza&quot; (trust) in contrast to more traditionally individualistic, competitive, and transactional arrangements within higher education.

The objectives of this study were to characterize the bibliometric indicators of scientific productivity on adaptive behavior (AB) in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) during the year 2021. The PubMed database was used to summarize information from quantitative scientific articles (cross-sectional, longitudinal and experimental) and reviews (bibliographic, systematic review and meta-analysis). The data collected for each of the articles were: year of publication, journal name, country, language of publication and type of published document (cross-sectional study, longitudinal, experimental, biographical review, systematic review and meta-analysis). The United States (USA) published more articles than any other country in the world (n = 28), followed by Italy with 13 studies, China and Spain with six studies. A total of 44 scientific journals were identified that have published a total of 89 scientific articles related to AB in children and adolescents with ASD. Regarding the type of published paper, 63 quantitative studies were identified (cross-sectional studies, 9 longitudinal studies, 15 experimental studies). In addition, 14 literature reviews, 9 systematic reviews, and 3 systematic reviews/meta-analyses were identified. These results suggest practitioners and researchers to address and decide where to read and publish scientific articles related to AB in youth with ASD.

A university's culture cycle includes institutional &quot;ideas&quot; around racial/ethnic diversity that inform &quot;institutional&quot; practices and norms, which shape daily &quot;interactions&quot; and &quot;individual&quot; experiences of students. Using qualitative methods, we explore how Latinx students experience these elements of campus culture at a Predominantly White Institution (PWI) publicly committing to engaging in diversity work. We examine the university's ideas and institutional practices and compare them with the interactions and individual experiences of students. We discuss what Latinx students' experiences reveal about how the university's culture cycle considers and promotes the inclusion of Latinx perspectives, experiences, cultural traditions, histories, and challenges. We supplement our understanding of the culture cycle model with elements of Latinx Critical Race Theory (LatCrit) to account for the pervasive influence of race and racism. We conclude that a raceinformed Latinx cultural consciousness is only present in shallow ways within the culture cycle of the university studied. To facilitate an understanding of Latinx student perspectives, meaningfully serve Latinx students, and extend the benefits of diversity to all students, a Latinx cultural consciousness must be infused in &quot;all phases&quot; of the culture cycle.

This article highlights the importance of promoting relevant competencies for employability in vocational training students, while considering the demands of the globalized world. The objective was to design and validate an assessment rubric of relevant competencies for employability. Seven competencies were selected: problem-solving, teamwork, adaptive capacity, communication, creativity, leadership and decision-making. A rubric was designed in which three command levels were established: low, medium and high, along with their respective indicators. A content validation process was also used by means of expert judgement. Ten (10) expert judges were selected to carry out a quantitative and qualitative validation in three stages and the indicators were modified until Aiken's V coefficients of [greater than or equal to] 0.80 (p = 0.05) were obtained for all indicators of the established competencies. It is concluded that the rubric is valid enough to assess relevant competencies for employability in vocational training students.

Having the right to a space is not only the right to be present without being harassed or bothered, but it also includes the right to have a say in how that space should be experienced. Yet, spaces have long been contested and not everyone has equal access to shared spaces. This paper examines the experiences of Mexican/Mexican American/Xicanx (MMAX) undergraduate students at a predominantly white university in the Northeast. Drawing on in-depth interviews, participant observations, &quot;pla´ticas,&quot; and document analyses, I argue that MMAX students do not have the right to their respective university because their university does not address their specific needs as Students of Color. The denial of the right to their university is experienced through a lack of resources and institutional support. This includes, but is not limited to, (a) Inconsiderate University Investment Patterns; (b) Inadequate University Services; (c) Unequal Housing Accessibility; and (d) Unfair Treatment by Campus Police.

This study aimed to know the effect of E-Learning with all its components on students' performance at Business Colleges-Jordanian Universities during at COVID-19 crisis. To achieve study goals, a questionnaire was distributed to the students at Jordanian Universities, (870) valid questionnaires were recovered. The study found that: The level of E-Learning and its components at Jordanian Universities were at middle rates, students' performance also comes at a moderate level. E-Learning and its components (Technological facilities readiness, Electronic applications readiness, Databases &amp; E-resources readiness, People readiness, E-Learning management system readiness, Evaluation system readiness, teaching methods diversity, Educational curricula and electronic content readiness) have a significant effect on students' performance at Jordanian Universities at significance ([alpha] [less that or equal to] 0.05). Whereas sub components of (E-Learning organizational environment readiness and legislations and regulations readiness) have no effect separately on students' performance. The study recommended Jordanian Universities to improve E-Learning in all its components in the Universities, reinforce using E-Learning in education, and exploit the benefits of E-Learning to improve students' performance because it is the main alternative to face emerging crises like Coronavirus.

This article looks at ways schools can address the problem of increased mental health concerns among students in the school setting. Insufficient training of school staff, lack of mental health professionals in schools, inconsistent programming, and teacher mental health concerns make supporting students mental health difficult. Addressing these concerns is possible through teacher training, mental health professionals in all schools, school programming, and support for teacher mental health. These changes would have a positive influence on student academic success and children's future emotional well-being.

This study investigated the effect of the blended learning method enriched by material development in the elementary school social studies courses on students' academic achievement and explored their views towards this model. In this study, information communication technologies (ICT) and manual tools were used together. In this respect, the map model developed as instructional material for classroom application and the web-supported digital contents for out of school utilization in the elementary school social studies courses were used in the study. The study was conducted with elementary fourth grade students. It consisted of two randomly selected classes with 60 students as the experimental group and two classes with 58 students as the control group. Activities were designed according to 12 learning outcomes in the &quot;People, Places, and Environments&quot; and &quot;Culture and Heritage&quot; units. An academic achievement test (alpha = 0.76) and an open-ended question form were utilized as data collections tools in the study. By the end, it was concluded that the experimental group, exposed to blended learning activities enriched by material development, scored statistically significantly higher in academic achievement than the control group and the students found the method entertaining and educational.
