Authors:Nursulu Belessova, Assel Issakhanova, Nazymgul Albytova, Gulbanu Umbetzhanova, Aisulu Shayakhmetova Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. The relevance of research into the relationships between social intelligence and leadership in the learning environment is currently very high, especially in the context of the development of learning and teaching approaches in scientific doctrine. Thus, it can be established that the article aims to determine the dependence and consequently the relationship between the category of social intelligence and leadership directly in the educational sphere. To carry out the research and achieve the goal, the paper used various scientific and methodological tools, including functional and systemic approaches, and also the method of analysis and synthesis, comparison, deduction, and generalization. After conducting the research, the article obtained several important results, which, in turn, fully reveal both the theoretical and practical essence of the issue under study. In particular, the first includes the analysis of basic general theoretical concepts, their properties, and attributes, which allowed us to characterize the object of research. The second component focused on the direct interaction and its result, which is reflected in the process of socialization of the subject and his psychological and emotional state. The practical value of the article lies in the fact that its substantive content is an important source for future in-depth study of this issue and can also be used in methodological teaching materials for teachers.

Authors:Wirdani Yusoff-Peters Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Notable studies have indicated that international students exhibit high-stress levels, identity issues, and social consciousness due to adjustment issues in a foreign land. This research addresses the matter by suggesting the adoption of small group collaborative discussions (“SGCD”) to ensure inclusive education among international students in a law school to enhance socialization, preserve cultural identity, and improve mental well-being. It explores how using SGCD is a practical approach to promoting inclusive education for international students in a law school and uses action research to determine the suitability of the approach.

Authors:Doris Walker-Dalhouse, A. Derick Dalhouse, Lee Za Ong Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Forty-nine preservice teachers (PTs) from a religious-affiliated private university in the U.S. and 124 children attending a reading clinic at the university participated in a study to determine if books about immigrants and refugees had any effect on children's academic and recreational reading attitudes and whether the development and teaching of lessons by Interventionists PTs using books about immigrants and refugees influenced their attitudes toward immigrants and refugees. Fifth-grade children showed significant pre-post changes in academic and recreational reading attitudes. Preservice teachers showed significant pre-post-beliefs about immigrants and refugees in comparison to control group PTs.

Authors:Sibu G. Netto, Priya Dominic Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Scientific temper is a mindset that welcomes new knowledge and ideas, seeks evidence before judgment, doubts traditional practices and superstitions honestly, and employs reasoning in various situations. Even man has acquired all kinds of comforts and sophistication through the headway of science and technology; still, he goes behind superstitions. In this catastrophe, teachers have a significant role in eradicating superstitions. A random sample of 200 student teachers from secondary teacher education institutions of Ernakulam, Kerala, India, was assessed for scientific temper and the nature of their locus of control. The results indicate a significant positive association between the variables. Citation: International Journal of Educational Reform PubDate: 2023-09-25T05:46:34Z DOI: 10.1177/10567879231202474

Authors:Maria Lethube Mahlatji, Matome Winter Seshoka, Layane Thomas Mabasa Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. The study focused on the needs of principals as instructional leaders in the foundation phase in South Africa. This was done because unless instructional leaders are appropriately empowered by addressing their needs, they may not be able to play their role as agents that are a fulcrum to educational reforms especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The qualitative research approach was used. Methods used are interviews and field notes. The findings revealed that there is a need to include clarification of instructional leadership roles, mobile digital technological resources, adequate support from the Department of Basic Education, and parental involvement in education.

Authors:Vasia Tsami, Nikoletta Panagaki Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Despite attempts at gender equality in Western countries, male dominance persists. Gender-based violence (such as sexual harassment, abuse, rapes, homophobic attacks, revenge pornography, and gender-motivated murders) is in the spotlight as part of the larger phenomenon of sexism. Sexism combines a total of stereotypes that contribute (explicitly or implicitly) to the reproduction of discrimination based on gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation and are reflected in language use, attitudes, and practices that can lead individuals or groups to social exclusion. To detect and question sexism, we believe that the role of critical education is crucial. Thus, the aim of our study is to develop indicative critical language proposals following the multiliteracies model. This material is intended to enable students’ critical literacy to become aware of the (subtle) normative assumptions around gender and sexuality and critically reflect on the essentialist opposition between masculinity and femininity.

Authors:Md. Azim Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the impacts of actors, such as teachers, administration, and classmates, as well as factors including website/apps/systems and supporting issues, on the dependent variable, which is the successful implementation of online education. Primary data was collected from 203 respondents using a questionnaire with 30 items divided into six constructs. Structural equation modeling using SmartPLS was applied to determine the effects of actors and factors on successful online education. The findings reveal that Website/Apps/Online System and Supporting Tools and Issues have a positive and significant impact on the Role of Teacher (RT), Role of Administration, and Role of Classmates (RC), respectively. Additionally, the RT and RC positively and significantly influence Satisfaction or Intention to continue online education. The study's originality lies in the identification of three mediation effects through structural equation modeling, which is novel within the similar category of studies.

Authors:Aysha Khemakhem Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. The burgeoning cultural diversity in public schools calls for culturally competent educational leaders. Drawing on the theoretical framework of cultural intelligence (CQ), this quantitative, causal–comparative study examines the relationship between educational leadership preparation programs and participants’ cultural competence development. Data collected from 546 graduate students at 54 U.S. universities and analyzed using an independent samples t-test revealed no statistically significant difference between program starters’ and program completers’ aggregate CQ, cognitive CQ, and metacognitive CQ. Program completers had significantly lower levels of motivational CQ and behavioral CQ than program starters. Findings yield implications for educational leadership research and preparation programs.

Authors:Tang Ying, Quan Wenjing Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education (SFCE) is a form of international education with Chinese characteristics and it is an integral part of the Chinese education system. The aim of the research was to examine how the SFCE developed from 1995 to 2022. For this purpose, the method of bibliometric analysis was used in this study. This systematic literature review examined 537 articles published in CSSCI, CSCD, and PKU databases. The literature was analyzed with regards to the distribution of publications by year, author, institution/organization and journal. Additionally, visual maps were created with analyses of coauthor, co-words and thematic clusters from COOC and VOSviewer. The results show that SFCE has become a compelling issue. However, the publications in the national academic community were small. The most prolific authors were found to be Lin Jinhui, Guo Qiang, and Liu Mengjin. It was also found that the Xiamen University Educational Institute was the most productive institution and China Adult Education was the top journal in SFCE research. As a result of the bibliometric analysis, there is little cooperation between scientists and institutions in the field of SFCE. According to the co-words and thematic cluster analysis, five main clusters were formed. In the future, in-depth research on vocational education, Sino-Foreign Cooperative universities and countermeasures under the epidemic will become the new trend. A mixed research approach should be more adopted in the research methodology, and the research perspective from different interest subjects should be expanded in the future.

Authors:Seth A. Agbo, Natalya Pak, Dana Abdrasheva, Beibitkul Karimova Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Educational policy borrowing is changing the landscape of Kazakhstan's higher education. Kazakhstan has initiated higher education standards and quality educational services to compete globally to match those in developed countries. The government policy for higher education reform is a measure of convergence: catching up with the advanced knowledge-based economies of Europe and North America and creating a gateway into the European Union and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. According to the Bologna Process, the government's higher education policy calls for research-based Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. Through this enterprise, the Ministry of Education and Science considers higher education to serve as a beacon light on global competitiveness by mainly introducing the PhD and setting up requirements for graduation commensurate with a research society. This article is a case study investigating the implications of educational policy borrowing and PhD graduation requirements regarding how the students are assimilating and accommodating the requirements. The study explores the implications of how educational policy borrowing impacts PhD graduation requirements and examines the challenges posed by the requirements on PhD students. Our findings indicate that educational borrowing to modernize Kazakhstan focused on developed nations’ social, cultural, and structural characteristics rather than responding positively to changes in Kazakhstan's material and sociocultural environments. We conclude that educational policy borrowing should be selective to integrate national identity procedures by which governments and politicians must reformulate educational borrowing according to atypical nonglobal competitiveness emphasis.

Authors:Alfa Simwanza, Stephen Mabagala Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Fund as part of resources acts as a great pillar towards implementing sports activities in school. The aim of this study was to determine the role of secondary school administrators in appropriating fund for sports. The research was informed by a multiple embedded case study of a qualitative research approach. The findings revealed that school administrators play a crucial role to secure funds with the use of different strategies of getting funds to ensure the execution of sports activities; appropriated funds are from the capitation grants from the government, school self-reliance projects, personal contributions from head of schools and management team, contributions from sponsors and non-governmental institutions as well as support from the community members. The study implies that school administrators should ensure appropriate deployment of the received money from the government, sponsors, and other sports stakeholders as well as having effective mechanism of purchasing fund and make evaluation on the uses of fund received. Additionally, school administrators should be more creative on organizing different sports events, preparing different forums, and request fund support for sports activities.

Authors:Jocelyne Zafitsara, Njaratiana Mario Arthur Velo Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. This paper explores the realities that Malagasy public institutions underwent after implementing the LMD system. This research draws on qualitative data, which purposely interviewed 16 participants. Findings revealed that many debates have arisen regarding the reform due to its lack of clarity. Opportunities and problems were seen in teaching and learning since the reform brought diplomas internationalization and infrastructure growth rather than teaching improvement. This study encourages a thorough reevaluation of the ongoing educational system to systematically answer the reform’s primary objectives: to advance quality pedagogical and learning productivities and upgrade research in academia through internet connectivity intensification. Meanwhile, create competition mechanisms for teachers as strategies to motivate and alert leaders to put research, regardless of discipline, in the right place. Since it has the power to abreast teachers with new content and information, notably to nurture teaching scientificity and ranking improvement of institutions.

Authors:Abdelghanie Ennam Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. This study investigates the possibilities of an English-oriented reform in Moroccan universities as far as the development of an English-dominated proficiency is manifest in translation classes. Two-hundred seventy-six students were surveyed to determine their attitudes and achievements in translating from and into English. The paper claims that this pursuit has been vulnerable to the premises of postcolonial pedagogy and language policies adopted in/by the Moroccan higher education system since 1960s. It concludes that the insufficiency of reading rates, limitedness of writing skills, and the postcolonial linguistic compulsions emanating from the French/English connection hinder faster education reform achievability in Morocco.

Authors:Wei Zhang Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Whole-person education is undeniable and indispensable for student benevolence and lifelong building. However, the high test score is the central issue in Chinese education. The purpose of this descriptive qualitative inquiry is to explore the high-test score issue by analyzing principals’ experiences in advocating the whole-person education in leading the school reform in China. A total of 12 participants of principals (N = 12) were employed in this study. There are six female (N = 6) and six male (N = 6) principals from the six private (N = 6) and public (N = 6) schools in Beijing through semi-structural and open-ended interview protocols. This study found that principals face three major challenges, including (1) high test score causes distrust, unfairness, and separation between school stakeholders, (2) high test score causes academic pressure, and (3) high test score limits student competency and educators’ academic freedom. This study found that principals use three major strategies to form a school reform and student development, including (1) communication for whole-person education, (2) correlation between the whole-person education and student individual career plan, and (3) pathway from high school to college through cooperation project. Finally, the proposed study of using a basic qualitative research inquiry through semi-structural and open-ended interviewing with a total of 60 participants, including principals (N = 12), teachers (N = 12), parents (N = 12), students (N = 12), and superintendents (N = 12), would be employed to investigate what challenges the schools face, how the schools should be, and what strategies should implement for lifelong student learning, suggested.

Authors:Matthew A. Witenstein, Narender Thakur Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. This article considers the experiences of teachers and learners in higher education institutions that led to the need for adapted learning modalities during COVID-19. It is critical to provide reflective faculty narratives. We position them as Street-Level Bureaucrats on the front lines, who as de facto policymakers, made adaptive decisions impacting students’ educational opportunities. Consequently, this article engages experiential reflections of two university professors in the field of education, one in the US the other in India. It examines how known ways of learning changed as universities closed and teachers and students were mandated to switch to online, remote or distance teaching and learning. Rooted in a critical theory of love, which calls for justice-centered and humanizing orientations, and the critical need for a quality education, as outlined in SDG 4, reflections are discussed regarding opportunities for supporting university policy discussions, which can enhance classroom-level student success during traumatic times.

Authors:J. S. Gopika, R. V. Rekha Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a massive shift in the worldwide educational teaching-learning system. All educational activities have shifted digitally. Due to this sudden shift, digital learning has experienced significant change. The current study aims to analyze the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 perceptions and usage of digital learning among school children. Also, how COVID-19 impacted their digital learning knowledge. Two surveys were conducted, one before the COVID-19 outbreak and the other after the outbreak. The study's findings show that students’ digital learning usage increased significantly after the outbreak of COVID-19, and they are more satisfied with the digital learning facilities. Students' knowledge about digital learning is also increased. However, after COVID-19, the students' motivation dropped. The majority of respondents had never used digital learning before COVID-19. The widespread usage of digital learning has also raised barriers. The barriers outweighed the benefits of digital learning.

Authors:Durdana Ovais, Lata Bajpai Singh, V. Selva Lakshmi Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. The research aims at examining the influence of loneliness and stress on anxiety and depression. The role of optimism bias in regulating anxiety and depression dimensions among 726 students in India is investigated. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach is used to study the relationships between constructs. According to the data, optimism bias significantly moderates the association among stress and anxiety & between loneliness and anxiety. The research enables understanding of the consequences of Covid-19 upon the psychology of the students while providing an insight into the behavioural implications of loneliness, stress and optimism bias on the anxiety level and depression of students. The study enables the academicians and management in formulating communication and management strategies for students. Limited studies have been found on stress and depression in Indian student's context. It is the first study to employ an optimistic bias scale to investigate the behaviour of students in India and its impact on the students’ mental health using anxiety and depression as variables.

Authors:Dirgha Raj Joshi, Bishnu Khanal, Krishna Prasad Adhikari Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. The study aimed to measure the effect of digital pedagogical skills of mathematics teachers and their awareness on student learning performance. The cross-sectional survey design was used among 462 mathematics teachers in Nepal. Structural equation modeling and machine learning were the main statistical techniques used in the study. The findings indicate that teachers’ digital pedagogical skills were significantly low in internet surfing, using communication tools, subject-related applications, and the development of audiovisual instructional materials. Internet surfing skills and collaboration tools are significant predictors of policy and ethical digital awareness.

Authors:Anna Lee Jarrett, Alan F. Jarrett, Marilou Shreve Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. This systematic review examines studies about serial killers 2010–2021. It has been proposed that genetic markers and environmental factors may contribute to the development of serial killers. Studies about genetic markers were compared to relevant studies supporting environmental factors and a subset of environmental and genetic factors to better understand the etiology of serial killing. There is evidence for a genetic predisposition for serial killer development. The significance of genetic testing has a promising future for studies about criminals, but there is compelling evidence of a combination of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors that contribute to serial killing.

Authors:Mohammad Hossein Arefian, Hamide Nami Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Teaching can be quite challenging during the initial years of a teaching career for many beginning teachers, specifically when teachers feel alone, unsupported and unmonitored due to the absence of supervisors and mentors at school. Thus, this research explored 10 Iranian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) beginning teachers who struggle to teach initially without sufficient emotional and academic support from the educational public since public schools may not have subject-specific supervisors and mentors to guide and support them. This study focuses on the importance of Action Research (AR) literacy, as a reflective tool, for unmonitored beginning EFL teachers. The data collected from an interview at the beginning, group discussions during the course, and reflective papers at the end through a qualitative method indicated that AR leads to the personal, technical, social, and political development of beginning teachers. It was beneficial for beginning teachers to enhance their pedagogical practices and beliefs and allow them to gain and expand their knowledge and experience through reflections and discussions with other individuals. The result also shows how cognitive, affective, professional, and technical support and assistance from other teachers, supervisors, stakeholders, and parents can accelerate the teaching quality and educational quality.

Authors:Τiew Chia Chun, Melissa Ng Lee Yen Abdullah Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. The purpose of this study is to shed light on the mediating effect of heutagogical activities on the relationships between (1) social learning environment & self-determined learning and (2) students’ psychological needs & self-determined learning. The proposed model hypothesised that self-determined learning is dependent on the social learning environment, student psychological needs, and heutagogical activities. This study fills the knowledge gap by applying the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed model based on a sample of 626 postgraduate students from a higher education institution in Malaysia. The findings revealed that heutagogical activities had mediating effect on postgraduates’ self-determined learning. These are new insights on self-determined learning as no studies have examined the mediating effect of heutagogical activities through structural equation modelling analysis. Overall, this study offers valuable contributions to the empirical evidence and body of literature on heutagogy by providing an extended understanding of the mediating role of heutagogical activities in postgraduates’ self-determined learning. The findings suggest that more efforts are needed to refine the learning activities in postgraduate education for the postgraduates’ development of self-determined learning. The theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

This article focuses on the theoretical underpinning of the effectiveness of the conditions for research skills development in primary school students. The study used the following methods: theoretical analysis, survey, teaching observation, analysis of educational and teaching products, pedagogical experiment, and statistical method. The authors substantiated the hypothesis that effective research skill development requires technology development and the creation of necessary pedagogical conditions. As a result, the following distinguish research skills typical of primary students were identified: ability to organize own activities, work with information, conduct educational and research work, prepare and present the results of the study, analyze, and evaluate the research activity. To date, the criteria and levels of research skill development in primary students are not sufficiently developed, which complicates the diagnostics of research skills of primary students. This problem remains relevant and underdeveloped, it should be given more attention in the next phase of this research.

Authors:Huiling Wang Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Group schools are increasingly emerging as a school-running model that balances and improves school quality. The integrated model can promote the connection within the group school, and is an ideal way to promote the improvement of the school's moral education effect. The research adopts qualitative research, collects data information such as documents through observation method and interview method, and conducts data processing through text analysis method. The study selected four representative affiliated schools in the H Education Group, observed their open classes and teaching and research; meanwhile, conducted open talk with a total of eight front-line teachers in four schools to understand the current status of the integration of moral education in the group school. The study found that the integration of moral education in group schools mainly involves three main bodies, namely universities, member schools and local teaching and research offices. The interaction of the three main bodies forms three elements: content, resources, and culture. Group schools should strive to form a unique school-based moral education curriculum, and at the same time build a long-term interoperable teaching and research platform, and generate a harmonious and diverse group culture, thereby achieving integration.

Authors:Luecha Ladachart, Visit Radchanet, Wannakorn Phornprasert, Wilawan Phothong Abstract: International Journal of Educational Reform, Ahead of Print. Design-based learning (DBL) is a pedagogical approach to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. This study aims to examine 32 eighth-grade students’ content knowledge and STEM identity before and after DBL. It also compares male and female students’ learning achievements. Data were collected using a conceptual test and a questionnaire measuring STEM identity. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results reveal that, although male and female students experienced a similar gain in content knowledge, DBL tended to have negative effects on male students but positive effects on female students. These results highlight gender issues accompanying DBL. Citation: International Journal of Educational Reform PubDate: 2023-02-03T08:41:10Z DOI: 10.1177/10567879231153626
