Differences in Achievement in Physical Education Learning Outcomes for High School Students Based on Parental Occupation: Analysis of Differences in Parental Social Status in Providing Learning Motivation

This research aims to determine the achievement of Physical Education (PE) learning outcomes based on parents' work and its relationship to differences in parents' social status in providing learning motivation to students. The sample in this research was high school students in DI Province. Yogyakarta Indonesia. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and inferential factorial one-way ANOVA. One-way anova test results Sig. 0.000 < 0.05 so there is a significant difference in the average of the three PE learning outcomes between students whose parents are civil servants, farmers and entrepreneurs. First Post Hoc follow-up test Sig. 0.000 < 0.05, so that there is a difference in the PE learning achievement of students with their parents' jobs as civil servants and farmers. Post Hoc follow-up test for both Sig. 0.375 > 0.05 so that there is no difference in the PE learning achievement of students with their parents' jobs as civil servants and entrepreneurs. Post Hoc follow-up test for the three Sig. 0.001 < 0.05 so that there is a difference in the PE learning achievement of students whose parents are farmers and entrepreneurs. The conclusion of this research is that there is a significant difference in the average achievement of PE learning outcomes for high school students based on the social status of parents' jobs as civil servants, farmers and entrepreneurs. The social status of parents' work has an influence on the PE learning achievements of high school students in relation to providing learning motivation for students. Working as a civil servant requires a person to have a formal education of at least a bachelor's degree, while for farmer and self-employed jobs it is not required to have a formal bachelor's degree. Parents who work as civil servants and have formal educational experience of at least a bachelor's degree, at least have a tendency to motivate their children to achieve good learning outcomes in compulsory subjects such as PE or other compulsory subjects. However, the farming profession could be stronger and higher in providing learning motivation to their children, with the hope that their children who are still studying at high school level will not become farmers like their parents and can continue at a higher level of formal education.

To Analyze the Effects of Teacher’s Attitude and Behaviors on the Academic Achievement of Secondary School Students

The purpose of the study was to determine how positive teaching attitudes affected students' academic performance. The behaviors that teachers exhibit in their professional lives are a reflection of their attitudes. Since they consider themselves to be a part of the teaching community, their opinions of other teachers are really a reflection of themselves. Twenty teachers from four private schools in Karachi completed a questionnaire that was used to record their reflections on behavior. The literature reviewed in research papers and books on the subject, which discussed how students pick favorite teachers and how this can affect students' academic performance, served as the primary inspiration for these questions. Thirty items made up the questionnaire, which asked about teachers' fairness, compassion, inspiration, creativity, verbal appreciation, preparedness, sense of humor, confidence, preparedness, sense of belonging, punctuality, positivity, forgiveness, sharing responsibility, sensitivity, and nurturing creativity in their students. Students were asked to fill out a questionnaire with examples of both positive and negative attitudes and behaviors from their secondary school teachers. They were also asked to explain how these examples affected their performance and personality development. The research's most significant findings demonstrated that students' personalities and life outcomes are positively impacted by teachers' positive attitudes. These results lead to a discussion of teachers' roles in lifespan education, which go beyond merely transforming knowledge. Key words: , , ,

Optimization of pedagogical control of educational achievements of school students in the process of studying martial arts

The paper discusses the problem of using the best movement tests in the physical education of schoolchildren in martial arts, which makes it possible to bring the educational process of Ukraine closer to European standards.
 Studies have shown that a confident, reliable restructuring of motor skills is possible only when the object of influence is not the executive, but the orienting part of the action [1-12].
 Assessment of the quality of assimilation of the action at the final stage of training sums up the learning process as a whole: all the main characteristics of the action and the quality of the product of the action are taken into account. The accuracy of solving a motor problem is determined by the indicators of its efficiency, economy, and biomechanical expediency. The stability of the effect is estimated by the average result in a series of attempts. The degree of generalization is estimated by the indicators of accuracy and stability under various changes in individual conditions of the motor task, which do not change its essence. The automaticity of motor action is assessed by accuracy, stability and generalization when switching attention to the solution of related tasks: mentally orienting and motor – performing and correcting, as well as tasks that are not directly related to the action being performed. The final assessment of the quality of assimilation of the motor action that is being studied depends on the level of its assimilation [1; 6; 9; 11].

Effect of Systematic Desensitization on Anxiety and Achievement of Nigerian Secondary School Students in Mathematics

This study investigates the impact of systematic desensitization (SD) on mathematics anxiety and achievement among Nigerian secondary school students. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and post-test nonequivalent control group design, we selected 120 students (58 boys, 62 girls) from a pool of 3390 senior class one students using a multi-stage sampling procedure. Assessment tools included the Mathematics Achievement Test and Mathematics Anxiety Scale. The six-week intervention demonstrated significant results with moderate effect sizes, revealing that SD significantly reduced mathematics anxiety (F[1,115] = 86.66, p < .001) and enhanced academic achievement (F[1,115] = 92.458, p < .001). Gender showed no substantial influence on mathematics anxiety (F[1,115] = .365, p = .547) or achievement under SD treatment (F[1,115] = .006, p = .937). This study underscores the effectiveness of SD in reducing mathematics anxiety and improving mathematics performance among Nigerian students.

The Influence of Parental Motivation on The Achievement of Senior High School Students

This study aimed to determine the significant relationship between parental motivation and achievement of senior high school students. A simple random sampling technique was used to include 56 respondents. Through non-experimental quantitative descriptive-correlational research technique, validated questionnaire, Mean, Pearson-Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pearson-r) and Simple Linear Regression; results showed that the level of parental motivation was high or oftentimes manifested. It was also found that the level of achievement was high or very satisfactory. There was a significant relationship between parental motivation and achievement. This implies that when parents show motivation towards their children’s education, the students tend to perform better academically. Accordingly, parental motivation significantly influences student’s achievement. It was recommended that future researchers broaden their scope beyond parental motivation and consider other influential factors on student achievement, such as peer influence, teaching quality, and personal motivation. Longitudinal and intervention studies were also recommended to be conducted.

Prospective secondary teachers’ noticing of students’ thinking about the limit concept: pathways of development

AbstractResearch has shown that there is a need to examine prospective teachers’ development trajectories related to noticing expertise. An important content in the Spanish high school curriculum (16–18 years old) is the limit concept. Given the importance of this concept in the curriculum and the difficulties some prospective teachers have, developing their noticing of students’ mathematical thinking of this concept in teacher education programs is crucial to achieve high school student mathematics achievement. This study examines how prospective secondary school mathematics teachers (PTs) notice students’ mathematical thinking about the limit concept as they participated in a teaching module. PTs had to anticipate and interpret students’ mathematical understanding and make instructional decisions to support students’ conceptual progression using information about high school students’ understanding of the limit concept. We examined PTs changes related to how they anticipated, interpreted and made instructional decisions during the teaching module. We identified a change in how PTs conceived the understanding of the dynamic limit concept: from all-or-nothing dichotomy to progression; and a change in the instructional decisions they made: from decisions focused on changing the type of discontinuity to conceptual decisions. These changes allow us to characterise development noticing pathways. Our findings also help to identify the teaching module characteristics that support the development of PTs noticing.

The effect of malnutrition on students' academic performance: Roy’s model application

Purpose This study aims to enhance understanding of malnutrition's effect on academic achievement of primary school students. Design/methodology/approach This is a descriptive, cross-sectional design built on Roy's adaptation model (RAM). This study uses a random cluster sample, consisting of 453 primary school students. Contextual stimuli (mother's educational level, income and child’s breakfast eating) and focal stimuli (wasting, thinness, body mass index and stunting) were examined regarding adaptive responses to student’s academic achievement. Findings The investigation revealed that Model 1, which took into account factors of age, gender, the frequency of breakfast, income, the number of family members and the education of mothers, explained 12% (R2 = 0.12) of the variance in academic achievement. Stuntedness (β = −3.2 and p &lt; 0.01), BMI (β = 0.94 and p &lt; 0.001), family income per month (β = 5.60 and p &lt; 0.001) and mother's education (β = 2.79 and p &lt; 0.001) were the significant predictors in Model 2. Practical implications This study provides evidence that malnutrition is associated with ineffective academic achievement. Moreover, variables such as the mother's level of education, family income and the child’s breakfast consumption have a significant impact on academic achievements. Originality/value RAM is a useful framework for determining factors affecting people's reactions to difficult circumstances.

Wealth and learning achievement of pupils in primary schools in Uganda: Implications for government economic empowerment programs

This paper examines the possession of family wealth and its impact on the academic achievement of primary school students in Eastern Uganda. A correlational survey design was employed to analyse UWEZO secondary data collected from eight districts in the eastern region of Uganda, encompassing 6,302 children and 6,031 families. Descriptive statistics and Pearson chi-square tests were employed for data analysis. The findings indicate that socio-economic factors positively influence children's literacy and numeracy achievements. Families possessing solar lighting, mobile phones, tables, chairs, textbooks, and a reliable source of water demonstrated higher proficiency in literacy and numeracy skills. It is likely that children in households with these possessions were able to engage in private study at home, given the conducive study environment, well-lit rooms, essential furniture, and access to textbooks. Furthermore, these children were more likely to receive additional tutoring after school and had access to the internet through mobile phones and computers, allowing them to access crucial educational information. Based on these findings, we recommend that the government provide sustainable livelihood options for struggling families.

Study on the Mechanism of the Impact of Non cognitive Abilities on Academic Achievement: The Chain Mediating Role of Teacher Support and Parent Participation

Based on the China Education Tracking Survey (CEPS) data, a structural equation model was used to study the mechanism of non cognitive abilities on academic achievement of middle school students. The results showed that: (1) there was a significant correlation between non cognitive ability, parental involvement, teacher support, and academic achievement variables; (2) Non cognitive abilities have a significant positive impact on student academic achievement, with pleasant traits in non cognitive abilities having a greater direct impact on academic achievement compared to learning perseverance traits; (3) Parental involvement plays an independent mediating role in the impact of non cognitive abilities on the academic achievement of junior high school students; (4) Teacher support and parental involvement play a chain mediating role in the impact of non cognitive abilities on the academic achievement of middle school students. The results of this study indicate that non cognitive abilities not only have a significant positive impact on the academic achievement of middle school students, but can also have an indirect impact on their academic achievement through two pathways: the mediating effect of parental involvement and the chain mediating effect of teacher support and parental involvement.
