Self-regulating is a set of processes that controls or alters individuals' behavior, emotion, and performance. We aimed to evaluate the relation between three components of self-regulating including integrative self-knowledge, mindfulness, self-control, and some variables of mental health and self-conscious emotions. Methods: A total of 233 Iranian university students voluntarily enrolled in the study. Seven questionnaire forms including Integrative Self-Knowledge Scale (ISKS), Attention Awareness Scale (MASS), Short Self Control Scale (SSCS), Costello &amp; Comrey's Anxiety and Depression Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Authentic Pride Scale (APS), and other as sham scale (OAS) were distributed to participants. The correlation between self-regulating variables, mental health, and self-conscious emotions were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient test. Results: We found a negative correlation between self-regulating variables, depression, and anxiety. Our data also revealed that self-esteem positively related to integrative self-knowledge, mindfulness, and self-control. Among self-conscious emotions variables, authentic pride had a positive correlation with self-regulating variables whereas feelings of shame appeared a negative relationship with them. Conclusion: Integrative self-knowledge, mindfulness, and self-control as self-regulating components correlated to mental health and self-conscious emotions.

In society, there is a perception of young teachers as the future of the Russian education system who need constant patronage due to their lack of professional experience and skill. However, young teachers present not only a professional resource for the future of Russian education but also a social group with its own interests and values that is able to make a significant contribution to the development of general education in the present. Study proposes a multidimensional methodological construct of the sociological study of the professional identity of young teachers in Russian society developed within the &quot;soft conception&quot; of identity with consideration of both Russian and foreign theoretical and methodological experience. The internal and external factors for the formation of young teachers' professional identity, as well as the structure, functions, and the real and ideal types of this identity are identified. The detection of tendencies in the development of real professional identity allows identifying the direction of the transformation of young teachers' professional identity in Russian society via the comparison with ideal types.

The place of the use of materials and teaching technologies in the teaching and learning process of the students is very significant in that they help them grasp and learn more effectively. By this way, the students are more able to realize a much better learning. Also, it is an undeniable fact that, today, English is the mostly used foreign language choice in the context of communicating with the people from different countries. Besides, it is also noticed that English is the most widely used language in the context of pronouncing and sharing of the academic enhancements. Therefore, it is clear enough to say that new generations' learning English as a foreign language effectively is considerably important. In this study, the use of material and teaching technologies in English teaching curriculums of elementary schools is viewed. The research is conducted with the document analysis technique which is one of the techniques of qualitative research in the spring term of 2017-2018 Academic Year. All of the 7 class levels, ranging from the 2nd grade of the primary school and the 8th grade of the secondary school are included within the English teaching curriculums of primary and secondary school. In addition to this, in the research, some sections such as the philosophy, objectives and efficiency of the curriculum and points to consider in teaching of the curriculum are surveyed along with the units of the curriculum. As part of the research, some dimensions, such as what sort of technologies and materials are used in the English teaching curriculums and what type of teaching technologies and materials are given more significance are put forward. The findings and results of the research are presented systematically relevant to the objectives of the research. Thereafter, some suggestions are made based upon the research findings.

Back in the early 1990s, three Manitoba School districts launched the &quot;Lost Prizes&quot; project to reclaim talented, at-risk high-school dropouts. Despite their unique gifts, these relationship-resistant youth were disenchanted, disillusioned, and disconnected. Many had major substance abuse problems and were engaged in serious criminal activity. At the time, in an attempt to focus our efforts and delineate strategies that might be effective with this group, our team of educators developed the Amphitheater Model for Talent Development. It has undergone revision over the years, but its emphasis has always been on equity, flexibility, and guiding practical interventions to identify and nurture the talents of all students, including those who have been hitherto marginalized. In this article, we discuss briefly the original &quot;Lost Prizes&quot; initiative (where Creative Problem Solving and mentoring were used in combination to turn around young lives), summarize more recent follow-up and current programs, and describe the Amphitheater Model itself.

Creativity in Children&apos;s Lives an Unconditional Good for Whom?

This article addresses the question of whether and how creativity is important in children's lives in relation to creative expression in school, with a focus on the Danish educational system. It starts by outlining different conceptions of creativity: the first generation view considers it largely innate and specific for a selected few; the second generation perspective 'democratizes' creativity and emphasizes the fact that we can both teach and learn it. On the background of this latter approach, we analyze the common claim that schools can 'kill' creativity and the implications of this assertion. This leads to a consideration of the implicit and explicit epistemological and ontological assumptions behind creativity theories and the realization that adopting a 'romantic' view of what it means to create can actually be counterproductive in a school setting, at least for some students. An invitation to engage with creativity critically and reflectively in education is offered towards the end.

Acceleration is a theoretically supported intervention to support talent development of gifted students, but prolonged beliefs about its potentially damaging consequences for gifted students have inhibited its use in practice. This study formed part of a larger qualitative, multi-site case study, which examined intellectually gifted primary school students' educational provisions in Queensland and how the perspectives of primary school stakeholders were reflected in their school policies. The component of the study reported here used the results from interviews and discussion forums to compare the implications of the attitudes of teachers and parents towards the use of acceleration for academically gifted students and their socio-affective needs in Queensland primary schools. Overall, both teachers and parents expressed positive attitudes towards specific acceleration techniques, with subject acceleration receiving almost universal approval from the teachers in this study. The main finding was that the attitudes and opinions of the parents towards the range of accelerative practices strongly mirrored those of the teachers, with some concerns for associated social difficulties still paramount. However, the exception was that parents, who had accepted the need for acceleration for their own children, expressed more support for accelerative interventions. This research suggests that the overwhelmingly positive research evidence in support of acceleration for talent development may be starting to influence an attitudinal change from both parental and teacher perspectives.

In 2008, the Ministry of Education in Manitoba, Canada approved a $1.8 million grant for a major three-year pilot project entitled the Student Success Initiative (SSI) designed to support schools facing barriers to success. Six schools with lower-than-average graduation rates in Manitoba from urban, rural, and northern communities were invited to participate. This initiative is part of Manitoba's &quot;All Aboard Poverty Reduction Strategy&quot; whose aim is to improve student success in schools. In 2009, Fullan, Cuttress, and Kilcher identified eight drivers that are essential to promoting effective and sustainable educational innovation: (1) engaging people's moral purpose, (2) building capacity, (3) understanding the change process, (4) developing cultures for learning, (5) establishing cultures of evaluation, (6) focusing on leadership for change, (7) fostering coherence making, and (8) cultivating tri-level development. In this paper, Manitoba's SSI project serves as a reflection point for exploring Fullan et al.'s framework. It is used to inform the discussion around how government, university, and school division partnerships can enable and extend each of the drivers identified. We hope to shed some light on what has worked within the SSI project through tri-level collaboration and how this model can be used to further promote educational change and enhance leadership and capacity building for other schools.
