Habituation in education is very important especially in personal and moral formation as it instill positive elements in students' growth. The more religious experience a student gets through ...habituation, the more religious values are in his personality and the easier it is for him to understand religious teachings. This study focuses on the Implementation and Implications of Worship Habituation in the Educational Context, which is at SD Negeri 2 Yogyakarta, Gading Rejo Pringsewu. This research used descriptive qualitative method. The primary data sources are the principal, Islamic studies teachers , and fifth grade students. Data analysis for this research uses three steps, namely data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing/verification. The result shows that the effort in increasing the intensity and quality of worship activities through habituation at SD Negeri 2 Yogyakarta is quite effective, especially in increasing awareness in carrying out worship. The majority of students have shown an increase in their self - awareness on worship practices that are consistently being implemented not only at school, but also outside of school. The habituation program implemented in schools will become a consistent habit and an inseparable part in the activities and the learning system and also become the identity of this institution.
Abstract As a consequence of globalisation, a large number of studies have been carried out on the attitudes and preferences of acculturation of immigrants and host societies, with the aim of ...observing the different changes that occur in this intercultural contact. These studies have been carried out in places with a large migratory flow; however, it was considered convenient to carry out the same type of studies in regions with less migratory flow, which is why this investigation focuses on a place with a lower migratory flow, such as the Principality of Asturias. Thus, the main objective of this work is to observe whether gender contributes to the creation of different attitudes and whether this is moderating the intensity with which stereotypes participate in the formation of the acculturation preferences of native students in compulsory secondary education. The analysis of acculturation attitudes was carried out on the dimensions of “adopting” and “maintaining” separately, in order to study how these dimensions are affected by each of the variables (gender/stereotype) in different domains. The exploratory results obtained through quantitative analysis reveal that stereotypes affect the dimensions differently in each of the domains. It is also found that gender affects both dimensions, and finally, it is claimed that gender can moderate the intensity with which stereotypes are involved in the creation of acculturation attitudes in almost all domains. These results are discussed in comparison with those found in other studies with different social and cultural groups.
•This study proposes a multi-dimensional conceptual framework for analyzing rural teacher SWB.•Significant factors including gender, age, administrative position, marriage, class size, wages, and ...professional training are found•Relative wages are far more important than absolute wages in determining rural teachers’ SWB.•Rural teachers in administrative position tend to have a significantly higher SWB.
Through an interdisciplinary lens, this study proposes a multi-dimensional conceptual framework for analyzing rural teacher subjective well-being (SWB) and examines it with survey data from rural teachers across 29 counties in 10 provinces in mainland China. The results demonstrate that an array of factors significantly impact rural teacher SWB, including gender, age, administrative position (in the individual dimension), and marriage (in the family dimension), as well as class size, wages, and professional training (in the school dimension). More prominently, compared with absolute wages, rural teachers’ perception of relative wages is far more important. Additionally, rural teachers in administrative positions tend to have a higher SWB, which demonstrates their needs to be involved in school management. Some policy implications for China and other developing countries are also provided.
This study seeks to find appropriate landscape patterns of campus based on students’ preferences. A photo questionnaire containing scenes of different types of campus landscapes was distributed among ...200 students in University of Tabriz, Iran. The results emphasized the importance of vegetation, seating areas and water features of campuses. Also, students prefer open spaces consisting of lawn and grass (M = 3.31, S.D. = 1.00). Students also prefer a campus, which has a natural base, landscape elements and seating places, while the least preferred (M = 2.96, S.D. = 0.89) scenes comprise a large amount of hardscape. Students had a different preference for landscaping of open study area and leisure time place where the studying area should be designed with vertical natural elements. Shading trees and benches were also highlighted as very important furniture for these places. In terms of spatial organization, the content analysis revealed that these areas should be open and spacious. Places for leisure time need to be decorated with informal landscape design for creating a pleasant view. Designing a landscape with various forms will make these places more pleasant. Scenes of curved paths and colourful plants for these places showed a positive association with student socialization activities.
The aim of this study was to determine the potential cognitive impairment associated with motor disability in a group of children attending regular schools and to analyze whether there were different ...cognitive profiles according to the type of motor disability they presented. The study had 87 participants, 31 healthy and 56 with three types of motor disability: Neuromuscular Diseases (NMD Group), Cerebral Palsy-Hemiparesis (CP- HPx Group) and Cerebral Palsy-Diplegia (CP-DP). Ages ranged from 6 to 18 years and they had medium and medium-high socioeconomic and cultural levels. All participants attended regular state-funded and independent schools in an inclusive modality. The neuropsychological assessment included the following cognitive domains: processing speed, working memory, verbal and visual episodic memory, language, visuo-perception and constructive praxis and executive functioning. A second analysis was performed with the groups with CP: one based on the severity of gross motor impairment (GMFCS-E&R scale) and the other based on the levels of manual dexterity (MACS scale). ANCOVAs were performed controlling for age and processing speed in the three analyses. The group with CP-HPx was shown to be the most cognitively impaired of the three groups, with significant deficits in visuo-perception, verbal working memory, and visuo-spatial memory. Subjects with greater gross motor dysfunction (GMFCS-E&R) did not show the greatest cognitive impairment, while those with worse manual dexterity (MACS) exhibited greater cognitive impairment. Children and adolescents with motor disabilities, a priori cognitively normal, present different levels of cognitive impairment. This should be considered when planning educational adaptations for this infant-juvenile population.
This study aimed to 1) compare the experience of 115 French-Canadian teachers of typical children and children with ASD according to their educational setting (i.e., mainstream classes, specialized ...settings), through dispositional (i.e., self-efficacy, empathy) and transactional variables (i.e., perceived stress, social support, coping strategies) and burnout; 2) assess the influence of these variables on burnout. The results indicate that teachers of typical children have higher levels of burnout than teachers of children with ASD. Perceived stress and social support predict burnout among teachers of children with ASD in mainstream classes while self-efficacy also predicts burnout among teachers in specialized settings.
•We compared the experience of teachers according to their educational setting.•We investigated adjustment mechanisms in teachers of children with ASD.•Teachers of children with ASD showed lower levels of burnout than regular teachers.•Perceived stress, social support and self-efficacy predicted burnout levels.
Individualized learning support is an essential part of formal educational learning processes. However, in typical large-scale educational settings, resource constraints result in limited interaction ...among students, teaching assistants, and lecturers. Due to this, learning success in those settings may suffer. Inspired by current technological advances, we transfer the concept of chatbots to formal educational settings to support not only a single task but a full lecture period. Grounded on an expert workshop and prior research, we design a natural language-based digital tutor acting as an intermediary among students, teaching assistants, and lecturers. The aim of the digital tutor is to support learners automated during the lecture period in natural language-based chat conversations. We implement a digital tutor in an iterative design process and evaluate it extensively in a large-scale field setting. The results demonstrate the applicability and beneficial support of introducing digital tutors as intermediaries in formal education. Our study proposes the concept of using digital tutors as intermediaries and documents the development and underlying principles.
After formal school entry, theory of mind development encounters a blooming period of growth intertwined with social and academic achievements and challenges. Within this framework, in last years ...researchers have proposed training programs to foster mature ToM skills, but also, to test causal pathways for the role that ToM development may have in broader cognitive and social outcomes. In the current mini-review we examine which training programs have been developed so far to enhance three key aspects of mature ToM skills: second-order false belief reasoning, the ability to put one's own ToM knowledge into use, and the mentalization of thoughts and emotions. We also illustrate effects of these activities on intra- and inter- personal competence. In its conclusion the paper provides considerations of both first achievements of research in this area and gaps to be addressed in future works.
The Philippine government has not announced a strategy for a safe return to in-person instruction. A gradual approach, beginning in low-risk areas, at 50% capacity for every classroom, with students ...divided into two groups and alternating between in-person and online instruction every 2 weeks, is proposed. A safe return to in-person instruction in schools for millions of students in the Philippines is consistent with the concept of equity in education.
