Assessing Online Teaching Motivation, Satisfaction, and Intention among Teachers: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

The Covid-19 pandemic prompted drastic changes in education, including the closure of institutions and transition in the mode of teaching and learning. However, the effect of disruption is not equal across the spectrum of education. The transition to online mode of teaching created challenges to teachers of vocational education including hospitality. In the current study, we aimed to identify the factors of motivation, online teaching satisfaction and intention to adopt online teaching in the future by the teachers of hospitality education using Herzberg’s Theory of Motivation. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among hospitality teachers in India, and the data was collected using Google Forms. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is employed to test the hypothesis proposed in the study. The IBM AMOS 25 software was used for data analysis and testing of hypothesis. The results of the study indicate that motivational factors are the significant predictors of online teaching satisfaction and teachers’ intention to adopt online teaching in the future. The finding signifies that institutional administrators and policymakers of hospitality education in the study context needs to focus on improving both motivational and hygiene element to enhance teachers’ satisfaction and behavioural intention in online teaching.

Online sports betting in universities: Does online sports betting addictions impact the academic achievements and social relations of students?

The debate on the effects of online sports betting addictions on the academic achievements and social relations of many students in higher educational institutions has dominated most public discourse in recent years in Ghana. Ghana and many other African countries have declared online sports betting addictions among students as a national security emergency. Therefore, the researchers grounded this study on gaming theory, to explore the relationship between online sports betting addictions, academic achievements, and social relations among university students (n=245 & aged 18-25). The study adopted stratified random sampling to select 245 level 100 and 200 students, while five universities were purposively sampled. The universities include Ghana Telecommunication University, University of Professional Studies, Accra, University of Ghana, Ghana Communication University, and Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration. Regression analysis and structural modeling were adopted to test three hypotheses and validate the study model. The testing of <b>H<sub>1</sub></b> and <b>H<sub>2</sub> </b>established a significant negative relationship between online sports betting addictions, academic achievement, and the social relationships of students. <b>H<sub>3</sub>, </b>however, reported some differences between male and female students’ online sports betting addictions and their social relations, as well as academic achievements. Based on the findings, this study concludes that online sports betting addictions among university students have negative academic and social relationship implications.

Cloud Computing-Based Virtual Learning Environments: Factors That Build Trust and Satisfaction Leading to Acceptance

Cloud computing-based virtual learning environments (CVLE) can help students with rural backgrounds improve their academic skill set. However, the teachers and students are not satisfied with this pedagogical model. This study empirically examines whether CVLE-related performance attributes, characteristics, and administrative factors can help students with a rural background build internal feelings of trust in CVLE and satisfaction with its use to manage knowledge. As a result, they will intend to use CVLE to become academically competitive. We employed a mixed-method research approach, collected data from 449 university students with a rural background in Hefei, China, and performed analyses using Smart-PLS. We employed the stimulus–organism–response theory. We considered and empirically confirmed that CVLE-related performance attributes (perceived ease of use and usefulness), characteristics (interactivity, omnipresence), and administrative factors (university support) are stimuli to build an organism (trust, satisfaction). This organism will, in response, results in students’ intention to use CVLE. We also examined the mediating role of trust and satisfaction between stimulus and response factors and found a significant mediation between 11 out of 14 mediating associations. This study has theoretical implications for researchers and practical implications for policymakers, government educational authorities, the administration of higher education institutes, and cloud computing service providers.

Wolność religijna w ośrodkach izolacji nieletnich w świetle polskich regulacji

The subject matter of this publication is the issue of religious freedom of juveniles placed in isolation centres, with particular attention to the competitiveness of the entities that co-shape the decision on the scope of the right to religious practices and services in such centres, i.e., the child themselves, their parents or guardians and the administration of the correctional institution. The paper considers the importance of a child’s religious freedom and their right to self-determination. It goes on to consider the rights of parents or guardians to raise their child in their faith and culture, both in light of Polish and international regulations. This is a particularly momentous problem, especially in the event of incompatibility between the child’s will and the parents’ decision in this regard. On the one hand, the legislator has decided that a child of a certain age is sufficiently aware to be responsible for their actions, while on the other hand, the child cannot yet decide on their own to participate in religion lessons and religious practices and services. Finally, it is attempted in the publication to decode the scope of the authority of the administration of correctional institutions and juvenile correctional centres on the subject of religious freedom of their residents. This is an issue relevant not only to the field of criminal and juvenile law, but also to human rights.

USAGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTION

USAGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTION

Scholarly and Academic-Methodological Activities of the Gnesins’ State Musical Pedagogical Institute and the Political Events of the Second Half of the 1940s

The focus of the article is the history of the Gnesins’ Institute examined within the framework of the political events of the second half of the 1940s. The new institute was established during the difficult wartime period (1944) and after a few years turned out to be at the epicenter of the scholarly and cultural politics of the Soviet Union leading a struggle against “cosmopolitanism.” It was primarily the scholarly-methodological conception of the institute that became the target of criticism. Since the discipline of music acquired a high social status by the beginning of the researched period, musicologists were considered to be one of the most influential professional groups. The author of the article analyzes a number of archival documents, in particular, the transcript of the Open Session of the Artistic Council of the Institute, which took place on March 9 and 10, 1949. According to the present source, critical attacks were levied against the scholarly works and textbooks of Tamara Livanova, Valentin Ferman, Victor Berkov, Valntina Konen, Anatoly Butskoy, and Mikhail Pekelis. Analysis of the hystorical materials shows that the administration of this academic institution attempted to deflect the blow from the institute, while the faculty tried to counteract the Communist Party apparatus. Notwithstanding the demands of the leaders of the party organization of the institute, the researchers working in institute did not have their academic degrees taken away from them, nor were the condemned textbooks subjected to prohibition. At the same time, all the musicologists subjected to the “purge” were forced to leave Moscow. Having been dispersed throughout the entire country, they became the founders of regional academic schools.

Protection of critical infrastructure (facilities) in the process of organizing elections in Poland

This paper analyses the concept of critical infrastructure (CI) in the context of electoral process organization. I will determine whether the seats of circuit electoral commissions (CECs) meet the relevant criteria. How can such facilities be effectively protected? What does international, European, and national law prescribe in this regard? I will examine doctrine and the provisions of the current legal system, including the documents of the National Electoral Commission (NEC). I adopt the statutory1 assumption whereby critical infrastructure should be understood as systems and their functionally interdependent facilities, including buildings, equipment, installations and services that are essential to the security of the state and its citizens, serving to ensure the proper functioning of public administration bodies, institutions and entrepreneurs. Critical infrastructure is comprised of systems which, for example, ensure the continuity of public administration.

Legal protection for patients using health social security agency

The purpose of this research is to find out and regulate the legal protection and responsibilities of health insurance institutions toward health insurance participants. The research method used is the normative research method. Using a legal and analytical approach. The legal material used was tracked using literary techniques. The outcome of this writing is that, given the many cases of discrimination against patients by health insurance agencies, legal protection is necessary to protect the rights of patients from social health insurance agents. Moreover, the responsibility of the health administration and social security institutions is also imperative for patients from the social security administration bodies because the health services provided are not in accordance with the regulations in force. This liability can arise from the receipt of discriminatory complaints from participants in the health insurance organization. Disputes may be settled through mediation or dispute settlement with the state administration, according to the area of residence.

Person-centered maternity care during childbirth and associated factors among mothers who gave birth at public health institutions of Debre Markos town, Northwest Ethiopia, 2022: A cross-sectional study.

Person-centered maternity care is a crucial scheme for a positive childbirth experience. It enhances facility-based delivery, improves patient-provider communication, and increases women's satisfaction. However, there is limited evidence on the magnitude of person-centered care and certain variables were missed in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study assessed the magnitude of person-centered maternity care during childbirth and associated factors at health institutions of Debre Markos town, Ethiopia. Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at public health institutions of Debre Markos town. Participants were enrolled using systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected through face-to-face exit interviews, cleaned, coded, and entered into Epi-Data version 3.1 then exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. After generating simple linear regression analysis, variables with p-value ⩽ 0.25 were fitted into multivariable linear regression model and p-value < 0.05 was declared statistically significant with 95% CI for β. Finally, study findings were presented using texts, tables, and figures. In this study, 380 women participated, with a response rate of 98.19%. The respondent's mean person-centered maternity care score was 56.83 with 95% CI: (55.83, 57.83). Mean score for sub-scale was 15.08 for dignity and respect, 14.42 for communication and autonomy, and 27.33 for supportive care. Commencing antenatal care during third trimester (β = -4.86, 95% CI: -8.22, -1.49), caesarean delivery (β = -5.78, 95% CI: -7.68, -3.87), college and above educational level of women (β = 3.75, 95% CI: 1.11, 6.39), being multiparous (β = 3.69, 95% CI: 1.85, 5.55), and health center delivery (β = 6.59, 95% CI: 4.17, 9.02) were factors significantly associated with person-centered maternity care. This study showed person-centered maternity care was low compared with World Health Organization standards. This informs local policymakers, district health offices, institutional healthcare administrators, and healthcare professionals of the discrepancies in achieving international standards of quality care.

Identity Building through a Sense of Injustice for Housing Estate Kids Historical Transmission, Segregation Processes and Radical Stances

Made up for the most part of children of blue-collar workers and immigrants, the youth of French housing estates is yet denied the social organization of the labor community. The legacy of its working-class past is all the more heavy to carry that its present is as uneasy and uncertain as ever. This is why these young people have developed, over two generations, a way of life that is partly specific to them, from creating their own “street culture” to practicing Islam with varying degrees of assiduity, to starting a career in petty crimes – the latter aiming to counteract unemployment and general precariousness. While most are not delinquents, they are faced, as the “inheritors of the working-class neighborhoods,” with economic hardship and discrimination, making them the scapegoats of a country that yet is a democracy. That is why within less than 30 years, as a response to both social frustration and the contempt shown by elites and administrative institutions alike, a sense of collective injustice permeates the youth-and those who are now adults-in these neighborhoods.

Development Of A Supervision Model To Enhance Competency In Educational Quality Assurance Among Academic Institution Administrators

Quality assurance plays a pivotal role in ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of academic institutions, which requires understanding and attention from their administrators. This research aims to contribute to the enhancement of educational quality assurance competency among academic institution administrators through the development and evaluation of a supervision model. The study comprises three phases: phase 1 involves an investigation into the existing quality assurance competency framework and its relevance to the current context. Phase 2 focuses on the formulation and implementation of the supervision model derived from the established framework. Finally, phase 3 assesses the effectiveness of the implemented model at the curtain focus group. The supervision model integrates four strategic dimensions, termed the '4As': Awareness, Action, Assessment, and Accreditation, alongside seven approaches aimed at fostering knowledge, skills, and attributes on educational quality assurance. These approaches cover supervision documentation, online supervision seminars, remote supervision workshops, online learning platforms, focus group discussions, networking, and hybrid supervision sessions. The implementation of the model was conducted among 32 executives from secondary academic institutes in Nakhon Ratchasima, Chaiyaphum, Buriram, and Surin provinces, Thailand. The evaluation results reveal a significant improvement in the educational quality assurance competency among administrators who underwent the supervision model compared to both the control group and their initial competency levels. Furthermore, participants expressed high satisfaction levels with the model's efficacy.

Could the Marriage of a Female Educator Be Grounds for Dismissal? Opinions of Educational Institution Administrators at Kyiv Educational District in the Early 20th Century

Gender inequality shapes the study of women’s professional activities in the modern era. The aim of the article is to elucidate the positions of educational institution administrators within the Kyiv educational district regarding the (in)advisability of female educators continuing to work after marriage, based on a survey of 1903 respondents. The investigation methods include content analysis and the achievements of gender studies. It was established that approximately a quarter of the administrators fully supported the ministry’s proposal to dismiss married female educators, while 32,4% cautioned against unconditional legislative action in this area, and 43,2% outright opposed its practical feasibility. Dominant markers of the image of the female educator included professional-functional, moral-ethical, family-marital, and economic aspects, which, depending on the administrators’ positions, acquired corresponding arguments and conclusions. The functional dichotomy of a married educator between professional duties and family obligations was perceived both by the majority of administrators and categorically rejected by some of them. The study justifies the change in attitude towards the potential reproductive capacity of female employees in official correspondence. It was revealed that the natural conditions of female educators, resulting from childbirth, no longer concerned a significant portion of educational institution administrators. Some have advocated for the necessity of social guarantees for female employees as future mothers. The perception of women’s emancipation is supported by the thesis that the qualification of female educators was determined not by their marital status, but by their individual qualities. This deepens the notion of equality of rights and responsibilities among individuals tasked with teaching, regardless of gender.

DEPICTING THE MOROCCAN MUSLIM WOMAN'S STRUGGLE AGAINST THE PATRIARCHAL AFRICAN-MUSLIM CONTEXT IN THE POSTCOLONIAL MOROCCO

This essay aims to show how much Leila Abouzeid, the author of the novel Year of Elephant, has developed her own discursive space in order to express the unspoken and depict the abrupt trauma of postcolonial Morocco from a postcolonial feminist perspective. The concept of "the Future" or "l'Avenir" of Jacques Derrida should unquestionably be implied in the aftermath of postcolonial Morocco. In this setting, Morocco's post-colonial fallout is obvious and predictable. The marriage, education, and administrative institutions have all been severely corrupted. Women who gave their lives in the armed resistance are now abruptly subject to patriarchy, mistreated by customs, and shunned by the law. Through qualitative description, this paper claims that the experiences of women in colonialism are celebrated. Using feminist research, experiences of women from postcolonial Morocco have been voiced and the novel portrays a woman’s spiritual journey, and it is an event of cross-cultural literary history. Published in 1989, Year of the Elephant has had a great impact on promoting Moroccan women’s legal situation in contemporary Morocco. The new millennium has signaled a new phase for women’s legal triumph.

Особливості роботи спеціальних закладів середньої освіти з сім’ями учнів

The article highlights the results of a theoretical-experimental study of the work of teachers and administrators of special secondary education institutions with families of children with special educational needs of primary school age. Disadvantaged are families that have completely or partially lost their educational opportunities due to one or another reason, as a result of which they objectively or subjectively have unfavorable conditions for raising a child. Interaction with a dysfunctional family, the ability to find points of contact with it, requires the educator to have a deep knowledge of the peculiarities of the functioning of the modern family, methods of studying it and organizing work with parents, choosing effective forms and methods of working with various types of dysfunctional families. In this regard, it is important to find out the causes of family dysfunction and potential mistakes in raising children in such families. Educators experience significant difficulties in working with dysfunctional families. The insufficient number of scientific and methodological recommendations regarding the activities of educators of special institutions leads to spontaneity in working with disadvantaged families, inconsistency of pedagogical influences, which generally reduces the effectiveness of educational work. Such methods of working with families, such as discussion of pedagogical situations, role-playing and business games, trainings, familiarization with psychological and pedagogical literature, etc., are neglected. The work carried out makes it possible to determine the characteristic signs of family dysfunction: negative emotional and psychological family microclimate; parents' indifference, their insensitivity to the child's age and individual psychological characteristics in the process of family upbringing; parents' lack of control over the child's success and behavior, parents' harmful antisocial lifestyle.

Decision-making: The Process Contributing to Professional Public Administration

This article analysis one of the main issues of public administration theory and practice, which is helpful in government functioning and policy-making. Research study includes the discourse on how to plan and make decisions on behalf of democratic attitude. Public administration is utmost outcome, and the success or failure of the government depends on it. Theoretical debate on decision-making process, accordingly, surveys the fundamental perception on rational and incremental decision-making processes. It refers basically to the administrative institutions. Decision making is important for organizational effectiveness because of its central role in the overall process of directing and controlling. Decisions do not automatically guarantee all programmed outcomes, but denoting actions with professionalism and public support. As a valuable process it is likely to be a central element of management and leadership. Comparative study of examples of developed democratic systems shows the high responsibility of public institutes and government as key actors. Particular attention is paid there to the professionalism of government, which is a vital characteristic of any democratic public administration and virtually a policy quality. Findings of current research shows that decisions are not based solely on laws and regulations. Moreover, as the study shows, many other appropriate skills of decision-makers are important that will be seen with the close linkages with strategic governance.
