All this justifies the sense and interest of. To the best of our knowledge, there is no available tool to assess emotional competence in children from 3 to 5 years old that assesses the five. Female students had higher rates of participation and enjoyment with science in groups, while male students more frequently enjoyed science alone. The belief that nature experiences belong within school settings was the strongest predictor of perceived educational and developmental benefits. We used the Spanish adaptation of the BFQ-NA (Big Five Personality Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents) and the CDE_9-13 (Emotional Development Questionnaire for primary education) with a sample of 259 primary school students. Please note that proposals for special issues must be in the format described in the Guide for Authors. Combined with an epistemological sensitization, the increase in absolutism is only detected when the infusion approach is used. No special For special issues, referees are asked first to judge the quality of a proposal, and then to judge the entire contents of a draft issue. In sum, the results show that there is no general way to reduce absolutism and multiplicism and increase evaluativism. All this justifies the sense and interest of this study. Proposals for special issues and individual papers can be on any contemporary educational topic of international interest. Therefore, work must have the following features: A strong theoretical framework Clear understanding of how literature critically relates to the topic researched Strong design and analysis Critical analysis and recommendations for further research, policy and practice in an international context It must follow the 'Instructions for Authors' advice given.

This position paper proposes that teacher education programs should shift from preparing teachers who are consumers and perpetuators of grand narrative knowledge to teachers who are creators and knowers of transdisciplinary (TD) knowledge and perpetuators of a TD narrative. 5 Howick Place | London | SW1P 1WG. The quantitative results confirm a general factor of emotional competence adjusted for three specific factors. Additionally, this paper shows a need for a stronger focus on scientific language in teacher education programs. Likewise, there were associations between areas participants least preferred and their ratings of least conducive.

View historical data and other metrics on Journal Insights. Objectives: Know and analyze the needs of adult deafblind people in order to contribute to improving their quality of life. Collaboration and research mentorship must be prioritized moving forward to continue to advance healthcare and health sciences education. To the best of our knowledge, there is no available tool to assess emotional competence in children from 3 to 5 years old that assesses the five emotional competences of the Bisquerra model and can be easily and quickly answered in the school environment. The findings suggest more opportunity to spend time in a range of natural environments and a belief in the importance of nature experiences should be emphasised in early childhood preservice teacher training. One of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been restrictions on mobility and thus the closure of schools. Physical well-being: 68% of the sample had other health problems associated with deafblindness. Instruments: The FUMAT Scale was used to measure personal development; self-determination; interpersonal relationships; social inclusion; rights of deafblind people; emotional well-being; physical well-being and material well-being. Aaron Brakoniecki, Jennifer Bryson, Todd Czubek, Raul Fernandez, and Mary Hughes were all Read more, Researchers and practitionersincluding teachers of the deaf, sign language specialists, and early intervention providerswill come together for the 4th International Conference on Sign Language Acquisition. The irrefutable repercussions of personality and socio-emotional development on childrens learning and psychological well-being justify the relevance for the educational context of delving into the relationship between those two constructs. As this is currently a nascent and untested idea, recommendations for future research are suggested (practice, policy, and theory). Material well-being: In general, they stated that they have the material resources necessary for their daily lives. Educational and healthcare professionals need to develop emotional communication with schoolchildren and patients, respectively. There is a global trend towards the use of market-driven approaches as a strategy for educational reform. This paper presents a detailed case report of an in-progress programmatic assessment implementation involving a decade of assessment innovation occurring in three significant and transformative steps. Self-determination: they consider that they have decision-making capacity in basic aspects of daily life. The pandemic disproportionately impacted women and junior faculty members as connectedness and mentorship declined. In 2020, COVID-19 disrupted all aspects of society across the globe including healthcare, employment, social interactions, and education. Conversely, burnout menaces teachers work and attitudes toward professional development. As some authors have suggested, teacher uneasiness is an appropriate category of analysis to understand and interpret the effects that such expectations can have on teachers professional identity. They also need competence support for monitoring and managing their own learning through feedback and scaffolding as they engage in their learning online. These challenges were especially challenging for teachers and parents of students with severe disabilities.

progress in the field that systematically reviews the most exciting advances in scientific literature. It draws on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as a theoretical lens to analyse and make sense of these enablers for and barriers to inclusive online higher education. Currently, little is known about teachers practices and, thus, teachers. This instrument is valid, and, in a self-reported, straightforward and time-efficient manner, can assess the emotional communication of professionals and students of education and health sciences. Participants presented an average of 2.72 peer-reviewed papers at an academic conference the year before and 1.47 during the pandemic, with females more adversely affected than males. Special issues are usually composed of individually invited manuscripts handled by a guest editor. The research reported does not have to be comparative (in the sense of comparing aspects of education in different countries or cultures); a paper may report research carried out in just one location or cultural setting. This was a survey-based, cross-sectional study aimed at identifying nontechnological, COVID-19 forced universities to shift to online learning (emergency remote teaching (ERT)). interesting to authors, or important in this field. The internal consistency of the scale is also adequate, ranging from 0.69 to 0.82. In this. We use cookies to improve your website experience.

The journal editors will receive your interest and may invite you to review if they find a suitable manuscript matching your publication history and areas of expertise. We assume that these effects are strongest when the controversies are presented with an epistemological sensitization and the infusion approach. A total of 406 professionals and students of education and health. We use cookies on our website to ensure you get the best experience. Rights: Deafblind people state that they have limitations in exercising their rights. Research must have been undertaken in accordance with Elsevier's guidelines on ethical research available at: http://www.ethics.elsevier.com/. A strong sense of belonging in STEM has been demonstrated to. In this study, we approach the question of how attitudes towards science have been shaped using college-age students. Differences arose between self-identified genders in student experiences with science, both while in groups and when on their own. However, an argumentation task revealed that the desired level of an evaluativist argumentation only seems to emerge without an epistemological sensitization in combination with the infusion approach. As indicated in the literature, burnout can influence teachers work engagement. Furthermore, we study the extent to which teachers burnout and interest toward ICT training predict work engagement, taking into account the school level. For Make your research data available, accessible, discoverable, and usable. Finally, they need relatedness support for reducing their anxiety and having a sense of connectedness by interacting and communicating with teachers and students. Focusing on England as an extreme example of this approach, this paper points to some possibilities for addressing this concern. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly The journal uses double blind reviews, meaning any reviewers are unable to establish the author(s) of a manuscript.

The Feature Paper can be either an original research article, a substantial novel research study that often involves The present study aims to explore the differences among different school levels concerning work engagement, burnout, and interest toward ICT training. This paper presents a detailed case report of an in-progress programmatic assessment implementation involving a decade of. Concerning multiplicism, there is a reduction in all conditions, but the reduction is more effective without an epistemological sensitization. We proposed to fill out the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, and three ad hoc items assessing interest toward ICT training among 358 Italian teachers. Faculty members were faced with an external locus of control during the pandemic and noted a lack of autonomy and pressure to help students graduate on time and maintain the quality of teaching while dealing with uncertainty in both their professional and personal lives. Interpersonal relationships: 100% of the sample reported communication problems in the family environment. Yet, the support for online learning seems inadequate to address students diverse online learning needs and may impede the inclusiveness in higher education. In addition, a semi-structured interview is conducted. A total of 139 articles were published in 2021.

3099067 These reviewers should be international in scope and at least one of them should be from an English language speaking country. In 2020, COVID-19 disrupted all aspects of society across the globe including healthcare, employment, social interactions, and education. To address this gap, data were drawn from the Well-Being and Experiences, The COVID-19 pandemic created significant disruptions to the provision of education, including restrictions to in-person and remote learning. Teachers work engagement is associated with positive outcomes regarding work-related well-being. Journal submissions with survey participants as the first or last authors decreased during the pandemic. Below you find the companion journal associated with this journal. It reports findings from a series of studies in high poverty contexts in England. Survey data from students in similar academic positions were employed to control for differences in cultural and academic progress.

Interview by Ashley Morrow (BU SPH 22) Jennifer Altavilla is a lecturer and director of the TESOL & Bilingual Education (Licensure) Program at BU Wheelock. According to the information in the teacher/researchers diary, collected during fieldwork carried out over two years, and processed by content analysis, this phenomenon can be generated by causes that are still unnoticed in the existing literature. Deafblindness is a unique and complex disability. Results from a self-reflection survey indicated that general personal interest in both science as a process and field-specific content increased from elementary school through high school until entering college.

Programmatic assessment (PA) has strong theoretical and pedagogical underpinnings, but its practical implementation brings a number of challengesparticularly in traditional university settings involving large cohort sizes. Editors Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. The general approach yields a larger increase in evaluativism without an epistemological sensitization, while the infusion approach fosters evaluativism only in combination with the sensitization. Implications for further research and teacher education are discussed. These studies have typically involved local educational practitioners and university researchers working together in ways designed to support equitable developments. Most schools in Chile have adopted virtual and hybrid classes to continue educational processes. Only 20 articles PDFs can be downloaded at once. This paper explores what teacher education might look like through a Nicolescuian TD lens with its innovative focus on epistemologythe knowledge required to function in a complex, modern world confronting wicked problems. Results showed that: (a) primary school teachers have a higher level of work engagement and interest in ICT training compared to their colleagues at high schools; (b) burnout predicts work engagement in all school levels; (c) interest toward ICT training influences work engagement only in primary and high school. Therefore. Furthermore, during this time, many parents of school-aged children vacillated between multiple roles associated with their employment, household caregiving activities, and supporting their children at home.

An important factor in increasing diversity is building and supporting diverse cohorts of future STEM professionals in our classrooms. Conversely, burnout menaces teachers work and attitudes toward professional development. Therefore, the research presented in this article investigates the link between trait EI. They then selected photographs depicting areas the considered most or least conduciveness to education. Authors should not suggest reviewers from their own institution or reviewers where a conflict of interest may arise for the reviewer.

An exploratory factor analysis was carried out from which three factors were extracted: Communicative Proactivity, Openness and Authenticity, and Listening. There is an Editorial Board policy that weaker manuscripts or manuscripts that do not follow the Guidelines for Authors will be rejected before review. Researchers have reported that differences in science interest between genders begin early in a students career and that attitudes towards a particular field of science can be correlated to achievement in that field. As well as papers, which report the findings of empirical research, papers, which provide critical literature reviews of research on specific educational topics of international interest, will also be welcome. It also highlights the challenge of traditional university cultures, the potential advantage of a major pandemic disruption, and the necessity for curriculum renewal to support significant assessment change. In the present study, 296 early childhood preservice teachers examined 16 photographs of outdoor areas from four categories: park with fence, park without fence, grassy area, forest. This case report emphasises the importance of ongoing innovation and evaluative research, the advantage of a dedicated team with a cohesive plan, and the fundamental necessity of electronic data collection. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the academic productivity of health sciences faculty members in one graduate school in the United States.

To that end, the Nicolescuian TD methodology, especially epistemology, was introduced as a new grounding for knowledge that can lead to transdisciplinary teacher education. Students, regardless of gender, rarely had negative experiences with science outside of the classroom. Work can be drawn from any context or research paradigm. Conclusion: The etiology does not determine the quality of life of deafblind people, but communication conditions interpersonal relationships and personal development, and therefore their quality of life. There were clear associations between the areas participants preferred and those they considered educationally conducive. Research on the needs and quality of life are scarce; as well as the lack of adequate knowledge, training and lack of qualified professionals to serve this group. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields have remained stagnant in increasing diversity.

Declining interests in quantitative aspects of science (mathematics and statistics) were more frequently reported by female students and non-STEM majors during and before their college experience. Therefore, it is important that STEM faculty develop inclusive teaching strategies to increase and support this sense of belonging in STEM for all students. Since students knowledge of scientific language can be one of the main difficulties when learning science, teachers must have adequate knowledge of scientific language as well as the teaching and learning of it. Cultural and contextual dimensions are considered when interpreting the results. Currently, little is known about teachers practices and, thus, teachers knowledge of scientific language, in general, and the teaching and learning of it (Pedagogical Scientific Language Knowledge, PSLK) in particular. Current literature about any faculty-developed assignments focused on supporting a students sense of belonging and awareness of diversity in STEM implemented in chemistry courses is limited. Guest editors have responsibility for putting together the author team and handling the peer review process. Her research focuses on professional Read more, Five BU Wheelock faculty members were recently promoted for their significant contributions to BU Wheelock and beyond. Three themes emerged from qualitative data analysis: stressed systems, balancing act, and meaningful connection.

Considering the impact of ICT on school activities, interest toward ICT training can also affect teachers work engagement. This study aims to analyse the psychometric properties of an instrument that evaluates emotional communication among these professionals. However, this is creating new barriers to the promotion of equity in some countries. Implications for teachers enhancing their commitment at work are discussed, as well as limitations of this study and possible further development. Our PA implementation began with a plan to improve the learning potential of individual assessments and over the subsequent decade expanded to encompass a cohesive and course wide assessment program involving meaningful aggregation of assessment data. permission is required to reuse all or part of the article published by MDPI, including figures and tables.
