An effective professional program can enhance the integrated knowledge and skills of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among mathematics teachers. Nevertheless, the strategies for STEM integration in teaching and learning taught in many professional programs have proven impractical for many teachers. Thus, a systematic literature review is presented to investigate the characteristics of successfully implemented professional programs for STEM education for mathematics teachers. Twenty research articles published from 2017 to 2021 were obtained from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The results show that of six interdisciplinary concepts, the integration of mathematics and science content was the one most employed in professional programs. In addition, the workshop design type was found to be popular for STEM professional programs, and it impacted teachers' teaching practices in the classroom, student learning outcomes, and knowledge and skills. The results suggest that the self-efficacy of mathematics teachers and their commitment to the programs were significant factors contributing to the effectiveness of the programs. When planning STEM professional development programs, organizers need to think about the needs of teachers and students, the length of the programs, practical activities, STEM concepts, follow-up actions, and so on in order to meet the goals of these programs.

Children with dyslexia may have adequate cognitive abilities but they often show considerable difficulties in reading where they are less accurate in spelling and pronouncing words. Phonological deficit is the main cause of reading disorders in dyslexic children, and hence, developing competence in phonological awareness is important to increase children's sensitivity to the structure of a word. This study aims to develop a web-based assistive technology called Lexiroom for Indonesian dyslexic children to increase their phonological awareness. This includes the aspects of syllable awareness, segmenting words into sounds, and manipulating sounds. As a preliminary study, the proposed learning media is implemented using a single subject design with a research and development approach. The results show that Lexiroom can improve the phonological awareness of a child diagnosed with dyslexia. However, Lexiroom still has limitations in doing speech recognition, so in making the next media it is necessary to consider the structure in speech recognition assets to minimize error answers that are inputted in the form of voice.

The aim of this study was to explore international university students' perceptions on future global employment opportunities and expectations with regard to workplace diversity. The study employs a qualitative approach, and the data were collected from nine study groups with thirty-eight voluntary students from twenty-one different countries studying in a private international university in North Cyprus. The thematic analyses of the data revealed that students anticipate some degrees of inequality and discrimination when seeking employment, i.e., they believe networking is more important than qualifications. Moreover, the participants maintain that overseas job experiences will provide them with better employment opportunities in their respective countries. The main implication of this study for educators is that they should evaluate their current business degree curricula allowing for more interactive communication to build confidence in students' ability to compete in the global workplace. The curricula should also aim at intercultural consciousness-raising through topics of equality and identity using English as a &quot;lingua franca&quot; with the objective of creating high levels of problem solving and critical thinking in students.

The ministry of education of Indonesia has issued several provisos concerning the virtues integral to school curricula, framed as character education. Teachers and, assumedly, student teachers, shoulder fundamental roles in embracing these values into school intra- and extra- curricular designs. These designs encompass primarily lesson plans and instructional materials. Notwithstanding, the current discussions have highlighted gapping void between the aspirations toward which teachers and students are expected to march and the education by which they prepare their future character education. The present study delves into teachers and student teachers' perceptions and self-efficacy on character education. It employs descriptive quantitative design to portray the general voices among teachers and student teachers with regard to character education. The research data are collected through online survey distributed to 134 participants of diverse educational as well as professional profiles. The findings highlight the harmony among participants with regard to the urgency of embracing character education, yet ambivalence prevails when dealing with the efficacy of shouldering the task. Implications on current character education and suggestions future character education are proposed. In Indonesian setting, despite the stirrings within teacher community to give character education higher prominence, most of the participants are still doubtful about how much they can accrue positive changes in students' characters.

The research aimed to identify the effectiveness of a program on international health standards and investigate its impact on developing health concepts for kindergarten children. To achieve this objective, the quasi-experimental design of two groups: control and experimental was used. The main research sample consisted of (60) boys and girls. They were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (30) and the control group (30). The homogeneity of the two groups was verified in the main variables. Then, the test of health concepts was applied after calculating the factors of difficulty, discrimination, and indications of validity and reliability. In addition, the program was applied to the experimental group, which consisted of (49) activities. The results of the research showed statistically significant differences at (0.05) between the means of the scores of the control group and the experimental group in the post-test of the test of health concepts in favor of the experimental group. This indicates the program's effectiveness in developing health concepts. The study also showed no statistically significant differences at (0.05) between the means of the male and female scores of the experimental group in acquiring the health concepts presented to them through the program. The research suggested several recommendations, the most important of which is the inclusion of international health standards in the self-learning curriculum for kindergarten.
