of the Students attending the Regional Boarding Secondary Schools
Authors: Sibel Yazıcı; Nuray KURTDEDE FİDAN KURTDEDE FİDAN
Abstract: The aim of the study is to reveal the preferences and requirements of the students attending the Regional Boarding Secondary Schools (YBO) concerning the values contain in the educational program of the social studies course. The study was designed within the framework of phenomenology which is among the qualitative research methods. The participants of the study are 79 eight grade students attending a regional boarding secondary school in Afyonkarahisar during the spring semester of 2018-2019 school year in the Turkey. The data of the study are collected through the administration of a survey questionnaire with two parts which contains open-ended items. The data obtained were analysed using the descriptive and content analyses. The findings of the study show that the participants do not differ based on gender and the socio-economic background of their families. The frequently preferred values by the participants are found to be attaching importance to the family unity, honesty, sympathy and patriotism. Gender is not found to have significant effects on their preference over the values. However, female students mostly emphasized the value of attaching importance to the family unity, but male students mostly emphasized the value of patriotism. Another finding is that the participants do not provide a clear justification for each of the values they preferred. This suggests that it is difficult to establish a justification for the value. However, requirements value justifications are analyzed, it is seen that they express the definition of value, its importance and the expectations of having this specific value.

- Various Corrective Feedback Types in Collaborative vs. Individual Writing
Conditions
Authors: Maryam Soleimani; Sima Modirkhamene
Abstract: One of the important issues in EFL instruction is the idea of eliminating students’ linguistic errors through providing corrective feedback (CF). Accordingly, this study investigated the effect of various CF types (i.e., comprehensive, selective, and no feedback) on advanced EFL learners’ writing in different writing conditions (i.e., individual & collaborative). 132 EFL advanced learners aged from 14-20 were considered as the main participants. Learners were divided into 6 groups (i.e., three individual and three collaborative writing conditions). Furthermore, each writing condition included three groups with selective, comprehensive and no correction orientations. Data collection tools and procedures encompassed an institutionalized Placement Test, pre-test, and post-test. The treatment that lasted for nine sessions was followed by a post-test. Data was submitted to a series of ANOVA tests with follow up pair-wise comparisons and independent-samples t-tests. Findings indicated that: (1) CF, especially selective one, was more effective in enhancing learners’ writing accuracy, and (2) members of the collaborative writing groups outperformed those in the individual ones in terms of their writing accuracy development. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed in relation to enhancing writing accuracy of the learners.

Language Learners
Authors: Or-Kan Soh; Azman Hazita, Izzammuddin Isnin
Abstract: This paper provides the critical review of the impacts of texting on vocabulary among students from various range of ages, level of studies and background. Emergence of communication through modern modes of communication such as texting has greatly influenced the written communication among students. This impact of texting can also be traced from their academic writings. So far, there is lack of review studies with the focus on the impact of texting on vocabulary. Its consequential impact on the standard language has acquired greater importance. This studies also determine the relationship between the correlation of use of Instant Messaging and Text Messaging and the English grammar, vocabulary and spelling of the students. In total, 50 studies published between 2006 to 2019 and 20 indexed journals were analysed. The main findings from this review provide the impacts of texting on vocabulary among students. Furthermore, the paper discusses trends and the vision towards the future and opportunities for the further research in texting using Instant Messaging and Text Messaging.

- The mediating role of perceived administrative support for the effect of
job motivation on organizational identification
Authors: Gökçe ÖZDEMİR
Abstract: In this study, the mediating role of perceived administrative support for the effect of teachers’ job motivation on their organizational identification perceptions was investigated. For this purpose, in mind, the opinions of 320 kindergarten teachers in 304 schools from 13 different school districts of Şahinbey/Gaziantep were received. However, 233 scales were taken into consideration. The research data were collected through Job Motivation Scale (JMS), Organizational Identification Scale (OIS) and Perceived Administrative Support Scale (PASS). Descriptive statistics and path analysis were used in data analysis. Analysis results revealed that the job motivation perceptions of teachers were high. In addition, it was revealed that the participants also had high scores for organizational identification and perceived administrative support. Correlation analyses yielded positive, moderate and significant relationships between the research variables. Path analysis uncovered that perceived administrative support had a “partial mediating” role for the relationship between job motivation and organizational identification. Based on research findings, it was concluded that the effect of job motivation on teachers’ identification with their organizations was realized through perceived administrative support, albeit partially.

- Identity Formation in TESOL Program: An Auto-ethnography of Indonesian
Student Becomes a Legitimate Speaker and Teacher of English
Authors: Rina Febriani Sarie; Eko Purwanti, Bambang Widi Pratolo
Abstract: Several studies have investigated how the TESOL program influenced the construction of Non-Native English Speaker Teachers’ identities, yet few literature concerns about the negotiation of NNESTs’ identity as legitimate speakers and teachers of English. This paper is an auto-ethnographic investigation of my personal experience as one of international students in the TESOL program at Monash University. Drawing on Norton’s (2000) theory of language and identity, this study examined a complex process of my identity formation as a legitimate speaker and teacher of English after studying one of a critical pedagogical unit ‘Language, Culture, and Curriculum’. The findings indicated that the TESOL program enabled me to discover and explore another part of myself as a legitimate speaker and teacher of English through linguistic constructs and rich knowledge given in that unit. It also supported that a critical pedagogical unit could empower international students to form their identities as confident and professional English teachers back to their countries.

Authors: Desak Ernawati
Abstract: One of the aims of Interprofessional education (IPE) is to foster collaboration amongst healthcare professionals. IPE has been adopted at Udayana University by involving seven health courses at Udayana University, Bali, Indonesia.These students were assigned to 49 groups which composed the seven health course students. They learned working in collaboration from cases identified in the community. The activities spanned for five semesters. At the beginning of their activities the students received interprofessional collaboration competencies attainment survey (ICCAS). The survey has been validated in the population and has two collaborative competencies, namely communication and collaboration.This is a report of ICCAS employment in Semester III dan IV of the first cohort of IPE Program at Udayana University. 138 students completed the survey in both semesters. A paired-sample t-test was conducted to compare the mean score differences of collaboration and communication in the first and second semesters of attending IPE unit. Whilst, there was no significant differences on the mean score for communication, there was a significant difference in the mean score for pre and post collaboration (94.7±9.7) and (91.0±10.8); t(130)=3.379, p=0.001. These results suggest that the collaboration competencies amongst the seven health courses students reduced after one semester attending IPE activities. These findings indicated that the study design and learning tasks should be amended to ensure students gain the most of their learning in collaboration.

- Teachers' and Students' Perceptions of Technology in Education
Authors: Jordy Satria Widodo; Novia Budi Parwanto, Safendrri Komara Ragamustari
Abstract: This study focuses on elucidation of the perception of actors in education toward the use of technology in the 2013 Indonesian Education Curriculum (C-13). The study was done at SMA Plus YPHB and SMAN 4 Bogor, high schools located in Bogor City, West Java, Indonesia. The specific policy that underlies this study is the Regulation of Ministry of Education and Culture No.70/2013 in the point of completion mindsets No. 6 about the shift from single tool learning to multimedia-tool based learning. This paper integrates mixed methods—qualitative and quantitative methods, which use questionnaires and interview by incorporating Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) using path regression analyses. The subjects of the research are teachers and students in the schools, an education practitioner, and an educational policy advisor. Furthermore, the assessment was done toward the perceptions of educational technology infrastructure, such as computers/laptops, projectors, speaker, Internet, software application and mobiles. The results show that Perceived Usefulness (PU) is better shaped by Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Attitude Toward Using (ATU) is influenced by PEU, and Intention to Use (IU) is significantly affected by ATU. However, the external variables are novel for teachers and students. For teachers, the external variables do not determine PU, yet age influences PU for students. Thus, teachers and students show good intention to use the technology providing they embrace positive attitudes in using it.

- Arts-based assessment in educational settings
Authors: Jiří Kantor; Xianmei Lei
Abstract: Arts-based assessment is an objective measure that incorporates artistic experience or artistic materials into the assessment process and thus enables to get unique contributions about pupils. The current survey focused on arts-based assessment in the Czech Republic to explore the following issues: how did arts therapists assess suitability of therapy for pupils; which areas of therapeutic process were evaluated and what made the process of arts-based assessments specific in educational institutions. A mixed methods study used a statistical analysis of a survey with “The Practice in Arts Therapies questionnaire” (n=142 arts therapists) and an inductive analysis of qualitative interviews (n=10 arts therapists). Results revealed that arts-based assessments were more likely to be characterized by qualitative non-standardized assessments based on observation, analysis of artistic products/artistic process and reflexive techniques and are related to prevalent humanistic orientation. Educational institutions influenced the assessments mainly in the content and organization of the process. On this basis, there is a need to support the usage of standardized arts-based assessments in educational practice and to develop standards for implementation of arts-based assessment suitable for educational environment. More advanced training in this area should be included into professional trainings and further education of arts therapists.

- An evaluation of supervisory feedback in the principal evaluation process
Authors: Ahmed Mohammed Alkaabi
Abstract: This qualitative study found that feedback aimed at improving the leadership practices of principals was limited, and there was no embedded professional learning dialogue wherein such feedback existed. The study explored how school principals perceived their supervisors’ feedback in the formative principal evaluation process and spotlighted constructive supervisory feedback as a key component in that process. While employing a qualitative case-study design situated within the context of the Al-Ain school district––supervised by the Abu Dhabi Education Council of the United Arab Emirates––the researcher collected relevant data from interviews, documents, and field notes. Six school principals participated in the study, and a thematic analysis of their comments yielded four themes that reflected the quality of their supervisors’ feedback to them: feedback in absentia, superficial or irrelevant feedback, negative or judgmental feedback, and constructive, individualized feedback. The findings of this study added to the body of leadership literature and set forth implications for the redesign of supervisory feedback to advance principals’ leadership practices and professional growth.

- Licensure examination performance and academic achievement of Teacher
Education graduates: A search for congruity
Authors: Jay-cen Tamayo Amanonce; Ariel Macarubbo Maramag
Abstract: Teacher education institutions (TEIs) in the Philippines establish their brand of educational quality through their graduates’ performance in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). It is, therefore, necessary for TEIs to align instructional delivery with the competencies in the LET. Thus, this study was undertaken to correlate academic achievement and licensure examination performance of teacher education graduates. Academic achievement is the graduates’ grade weighted average in college and pre-board examination results. The respondents were 1,017 graduates of Bachelor of Secondary Education and Bachelor of Elementary Education in a state university in Cagayan Province, Philippines. The study revealed a significant and strong correlation between the graduates’ grade weighted average in college and LET performance. This is an indication of the effective evaluation procedure of the university since the teachers’ assessment concurs with the graduates’ performance in the LET. A significant relationship was also established between the graduates’ performance in the pre-board examination and LET albeit with a weak correlation. This study recommends the development of mechanisms in improving the conduct of pre-board examination review programs in the university. Further validation of the assessment tools used in the pre-board examination is likewise suggested.

Authors: ALVIN BERSABAL BARCELONA
Abstract: Teachers are expected to engage in the praxis of improvement and reform, and one of the resurgent interests in the field of education is the conduct of action researches. In the Philippines, and in many parts of the world, teachers are encouraged to perpetuate a culture of practical and relevant inquiries through action researches to improve the teaching and learning process. Considering the scant literature towards evaluation criteria for quality action researches, this exploratory -sequential mixed method study aims to determine the qualities that research experts perceive to be useful in evaluating action researches. Using Analytic Hierarchy Process, which is a multiple decision-making algorithm, research experts asserted that among the identified evaluation criteria, quality action researches should underscore its contribution to theory and practice, requires actionability, and reflexivity among researchers and participants. The findings of this study may be of considerable interest and use to individuals and organizations ensuring conscientiously that teachers produce quality action research to improve educational practices.

- Comparison of burnout, vigor and education satisfaction of music and art
major in department of fine arts education
Authors: Rasim Erol Demirbatır
Abstract: The success of an educational institution is largely based on student
motivation and educational satisfaction and their happiness at their place of education. It is therefore very important to maintain high quality in education to determine the case of students' well-being in order to improve the standards of study. In this regard, the aim of this study was to identify the status of students in terms of their level of burnout, vigor and educational satisfaction at the Department of Fine Arts Education. 250 students participated in the study. To determine the level of burnout and vigor, Shirom-Melamed Burnout and Vigor Measures were employed, and to measure the educational satisfaction levels, educational satisfaction questionnaire was used. The results show that music majors have lower vigor than art majors. Gender does not have significant effect on any of the scores. Burnout, vigor and educational satisfaction differ according to the year of education for music major, but only vigor differs for art majors. Mother’s education level has significant effect on burnout and vigor for music majors and on education satisfaction for art majors. GPA is not correlated with none of burnout, vigor or educational satisfaction.

Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to design and verify the quality of an assessment tool to diagnose multidimensional scientific misconceptions in the genetic topic of tenth-grade students. A total of 200 samples with three different levels of learning ability from schools under the administration of the Office of Secondary Educational Service 31, Nakhon Ratchasima province participated as test-takers. The design-based research consisting of four phases, namely construct maps, item design, outcome space, and Wright map was employed. Multidimensional Random Coefficient Multinomial Logit was used to verify the quality of the assessment tool. The assessment tool consists of two dimensions, namely, knowledge and reasoning with their respective five and four levels. It is comprised of 40 items encompassing 20 items for each dimension. The results revealed that there is internal structure evidence of validity based on the comparison of model fit and Wright map. Moreover, results also indicated that the reliability evidence and item fit are compliance with the quality of the assessment tool as reflected in the analysis of standard error of measurement and infit and outfit of the items. It can be concluded that the assessment tool is currently prevalent to diagnose scientific misconceptions in the genetic topics.

- Analysis of Ethno-based Valuation Instruments Measuring Higher-Order
Thinking Skills Using Item Response Theory
Authors: Yuda candri Adinata; Budiyono Budiyono, Diari Indriati
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the appropriateness of ethno-based assessment instruments that can measure Higher Order Thinking Skills based on item response theory. Analysis of the assessment instruments that have been developed have the characteristics of local wisdom and was trialed in three Karanganyar Regency High Schools. Student data analyzed were 288 test scores, consisting of 11th-grade students who had obtained Mathematical Induction material. The method used to explain the results of the analysis uses descriptive analysis. The prerequisite test uses the Unidimensional test for the 35 items that were tested, which means that of the 11 factors formed there is only one dominant factor. The results of the analysis of the three-parameter methods on item response theory for the Goodness of Fit (GoF) parameter model that most fit is the 2-PL model. The results of the analysis can be seen in the output threshold of phase 2 of the 2-PL model regarding the level of difficulty of the grains at values of -0.54 to 2.21. The different grain power index can be seen from the output of the BILOG-MG phase 2 program, which is the slope value in the range of 0.156 to 1.174. Therefore, 34 valid items were obtained with good difficulty and different power levels. Reliability for 34 items 0.71, which means a reliable instrument. It is recommended to conduct a construct validity analysis using confirmatory factor analysis.

- The Role of Depression, Loneliness and Subjective Well Being in Predicting
Academic Achievement
Authors: İBRAHİM ALPER KÖSE
Abstract: Previous literature pointed out that there was a relationship between psychological constructs and students’ academic achievement. In the frame of this basement, therelationships between psychological constructs;components of subjective well-being, loneliness, depression, and academic achievement were tested in a proposed model.As a research group, 488 university students in Bolu-Turkey were participated. Research data were examined by bivariate correlations and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results showed that depression wassignificant predictor of academic achievement. In addition, the impact of depression on students’ achievement was enhanced by loneliness andSWB components’ additive contribution was not significant. Depression and loneliness explained a substantial amount of variance in the prediction of academic achievement. These findings are discussed in the frame of related literature. As implications, higher education administrators, policy makers, academic staff should take in consideration that psychological constructs are related to student achievement. Counseling services should established or developed specifically at the universities.
