Exploring attitudes towards STEM education: A global analysis of university, middle school, and elementary school perspectives

The goal of this study is to examine views regarding STEM education studies pertaining to a variety of disciplines inside an electronic database. In addition, the same keyword was used to search for articles published in the electronic database. 23 studies on STEM education context attitudes were assessed using criteria derived from the associated literature. As a result, Turkey provided the majority of the data, but Jordan, Indonesia, and China each contributed two sets. In research groups, instructors and middle school students mostly participated. University, elementary, and secondary school students participated sequentially. The most notable research explores whether participants' STEM attitudes alter in response to diverse conditions. Next are STEM-related studies. One research focuses on the development of scales. There are two types of STEM attitude factors. The first group consists of attitude-affecting elements. The second one is that factors are associated with attitudes (Personal and academic). Teachers' STEM attitudes were favorable, somewhat positive, and moderately positive. Studies of teachers reveal no gender differences. Also, it is indicated that a negative or no correlation between experience and attitudes. Private school science instructors were more supportive of STEM education than their public-school counterparts. The STEM perspectives of university students were favorable, whereas those of high school students were moderate. University and pre-university perspectives on STEM were not affected by gender. However, some pre-university studies demonstrate gender differences in STEM views. A traineeship or STEM education increased the STEM attitudes of university students. In pre-university STEM programs positively affect attitudes toward STEM.

Tourists' Willingness to Pay for the Non-Use Values of Ecotourism Resources in a National Forest Park

National forest parks are important ecotourism destinations for locals and out-of-town visitors worldwide. The increase in protected areas is accompanied by challenges. The major challenge is the tension between conservation and exploitation. However, over-exploitation is causing irreversible damage to tourism resources by neglecting to accelerate conservation and satisfying the needs of only tourists. Therefore, it is a prerequisite to evaluate the value of ecotourism resources, especially non-use values. Liugong Island National Forest Park is a seaside forest park in Shandong Province, China. Tourist activities have negatively impacted the amenity and values of the park and increased management and maintenance costs. This study aimed to enhance the protection awareness of ecotourism resources by evaluating non-use values with the contingent valuation method (CVM). Ecotourism attitude factors were extracted by factor analysis, and the ecotourism market was segmented by cluster analysis. Then, an empirical assessment model was designed. Furthermore, through a double-bounded dichotomous choice model of the CVM, non-use values of ecotourism resources were estimated, and differences in non-use values among the groups with different attitudes were discussed. The results indicated that (1) Tourists with conservation backgrounds tended to pay more for general non-use values, while high-income tourists were willing to pay more for the Altruistic value; (2) The willingness to pay (WTP) of tourists was highest for the Bequest value, followed by the Existence value or Altruistic value, and finally the Option value; (3) The WTP was highest for the group valuing pluralism, followed by the group concerning resources, and lowest for the group concerning the environment. This study can provide valuable information for ecotourism planning and management that corresponds to current issues and tourist needs.

Knowledge and Attitude towards Clinical Trials among General Population of Northern Saudi Arabia during COVID-19 Era: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Recruiting and retaining sufficient participants is one of the biggest challenges researchers face while conducting clinical trials (CTs). This is due to the fact of misconceptions and insufficient knowledge concerning CTs among the public. The present cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2021 to May 2022. We evaluated knowledge and attitude among 480 participants using a pretested Arabic questionnaire. The correlation between knowledge and attitude score was tested through Spearman's correlation test, and the logistic regression test evaluated the associated factors for knowledge and attitude. Of the studied participants, 63.5% were male and belonged to the age group less than 30 years (39.6%). Nearly two-thirds (64.6%) of them had never heard of CT. More than half of the participants had poor knowledge (57.1%) and attitude (73.5%) towards CTs. Participants' knowledge scores were significantly associated with education level (p = 0.031) and previous participation in health-related research (p = 0.007). Attitude scores were significantly related to marital status (p = 0.035) and the presence of chronic diseases (p = 0.008). Furthermore, we found a significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitude scores (p < 0.001, Spearman's rho = 0.329). The present study revealed that most of the study population had poor knowledge and moderate attitudes towards CT. Targeted health education programs at different public places are recommended to improve the public's knowledge of the importance of CT participation. In addition, exploratory and mixed-methods surveys in other regions of KSA is required to recognize the region-specific health education needs.

The influence of psychological cognition and policy environment on the basin residents' behavior of ecological compensation under the background of carbon neutrality: A case study in upper Yellow River basin, China

Public participation in river basin ecological compensation is one of the effective means to adjust the multi stakeholder relationship and promote low-carbon development. This paper takes the upper Yellow River basin section as the research area, adds ecological compensation policy variables to the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). An integrated theoretical framework is established from the two levels of personal psychological cognition and policy environment, which can comprehensively consider multiple factors that affect individual behavior. This paper uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to empirically analyze the impact of psychological factors and river basin ecological compensation policy on the public's willingness and behavior to participate in river basin ecological compensation. The results showed that the three psychological cognitive factors of behavior attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior control had a significant impact on the public's willingness to participate in ecological compensation. The ecological compensation policy also has a significant impact on the willingness and behavior of the public to participate in ecological compensation. The impact coefficient of ecological compensation policy on the participation willingness is 0.085, and the impact coefficient on the participation behavior is 0.551. The existing ecological compensation policies in carbon neutral contexts have a stronger effect on the public participation behavior, but a weaker impact on the public's willingness to participate. The existing policies in carbon neutral contexts play a small role in mobilizing the public's enthusiasm from the psychological cognitive level, but the willingness to participate has a significant direct impact on the participation behavior. The research conclusions of this paper can help to broaden the theoretical framework of public participation and provide new ideas and methods for improving the ecological compensation mechanism of the river basin.

Predicting and influencing PrEP use: the role of motivational and attitudinal factors

ABSTRACT This study examined PrEP attitude and HIV risk factors associated with PrEP motivation and evaluated the efficacy of a mock public health video that addresses both motivational and stigma issues for improving PrEP uptake over a standard educational video. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM; N = 604) were enrolled. One-way between subject analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc comparisons revealed that GBMSM in later stages of change had significantly higher endorsement of positive PrEP attitudes, PrEP stigma, objective and perceived HIV risk, HIV worry, and valued health benefits of PrEP more. Stepwise multiple regression revealed five significant predictors of PrEP motivation: HIV worry, objective HIV risk, anticipated PrEP stigma, positive PrEP attitudes, and perceived social consequences of PrEP use. Video conditions did not differ in their impact on PrEP attitudes or motivation; however, regardless of video condition, participants experienced a pre- to post-video increase in positive PrEP attitudes and motivation. Findings suggest HIV worry, objective HIV risk, positive PrEP attitudes, and perceived PrEP health benefits are important factors to optimize PrEP motivation, which can inform secondary prevention efforts. Further study is needed on promotional PrEP campaigns that disconfirm stigmatizing PrEP misconceptions.

The Effect of Stressful Life Events of Syrian Asylum Seekers on Attitudes Towards Seeking Psychological Help: The Mediation Effect of Multidimensional Perceived Social Support

Purpose: This study aims to understand whether there is a significant relationship between the effects of stressful life events that Syrian refugees are exposed to and their attitudes toward seeking psychological help. The study also aimed to examine the multidimensional perceived social support by Syrian asylum seekers between the impacts of stressful life events they were exposed to and their attitudes towards seeking psychological help in terms of mediating role. Method: The study population of the research consists of Syrian refugees who migrated to Turkey because of the Syrian war. A total of 467 Syrian asylum seekers (187 women, 280 men) aged between 18-65 years participated in the study. The Impact of Life Events Scale, the Attitude Towards Seeking Psychological Help Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used as data collection tools. This study analyzed the mediating effect of the multidimensional perceived social support factor between stressful life events and the attitude factor towards seeking professional psychological help using structural equation modeling. Results: It has been observed that social support significantly affects Syrian refugees' attitudes towards seeking psychological help. In addition, it is thought that the negative relationship between stressful life events and social support affects attitudes towards seeking psychological help and reveals self-hiding behavior in this population. In addition, it is believed that a positive attitude toward seeking psychological help may be beneficial if it is accompanied by qualified social support.

Determining the influencing factors of consumers' attitude toward renewable energy adoption in developing countries: a roadmap toward environmental sustainability and green energy technologies.

The energy sector is a crucial pillar of the economic development of every nation. In developing countries, renewable energy deployment is scarce; consequently, the government and private sectors are exploring efficient energy resources.

The Factors Affecting the Second Semester Students' Reading Interest of English Education of Muhammadiyah Kotabumi University

Reading is very important in our lives, especially for students. Reading not only provides knowledge, but also makes students think critically. Therefore, reading should be the main activity for students. This study aims to describe the factors that influence reading interest in second semester students of English education. The research design in this study is a qualitative approach method. Researcher used interview and questionnaire data collection techniques in the study. Researcher distributed questionnaires to 37 students of the English Department to determine the level of interest in reading and took 2 students with the highest level and 2 students with the lowest level to be interviewed. To answer the research questions, the researcher used semi-structured interviews to find out the factors that influenced their reading interest. After collecting data, the results of the interviews were analyzed. The results of this study indicate that several factors that influence their reading interest are: 1) intelligence factor, 2) attitude factor, 3) psychological need factor, and 4) lecturer's influence factor. Based on the results of the study, the researchers concluded that the factors that influence the second semester students' reading interest mostly come from within themselves, meaning that they already have an interest in reading, so that students can develop factors that influence their reading interest from the outside very well. such as factors originating from within students having an enthusiastic attitude when meeting reading materials, it would be better to develop factors originating from outside students by having reading materials available at home, or visiting libraries or other bookstores. In addition, factors that come from outside, namely the influence of lecturers can also help them to grow their interest in reading by giving several assignments that require lots of references and lots of reading, asking them to make summaries, and so on.

Knowledge of Human Mpox (Monkeypox) and Attitude towards Mpox Vaccination among Male Sex Workers in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Re-emerging human mpox (previously known as monkeypox) is spreading around the world. According to existing studies, the current mpox pandemic mainly affects men who have sex with men (MSM), including male sex workers (MSW). Our study aimed to assess mpox knowledge and attitude towards mpox vaccination among MSW in China. A web-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted in August 2022. We collected participants' socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge with 15 knowledge items related to mpox. Modified Bloom's cut-off points of 80% (total score > 12) was used to indicate good knowledge. Multivariable regression analysis was used to assess factors of mpox knowledge and attitude towards mpox vaccination. A total of 154 MSW were recruited (age: median = 22, interquartile range, IQR = 12). Of the 154 MSW, 49.4% had good knowledge of mpox, and 63.0% were willing to be vaccinated against mpox. We found that good knowledge was associated with being single [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.46, 95% confident interval (CI) (1.22-4.87)], being unemployed [5.01, 1.21-20.70] and willingness to be vaccinated [2.51, 1.14-5.54]. Willingness to get vaccinated was related to age [1.06, 1.00-1.12], chronic diseases history [8.53, 1.01-71.68], and agreement with "priority for high-risk groups if mpox vaccine is in short supply" [2.57, 1.01-6.54]. We found that MSW had suboptimal mpox knowledge and a high willingness to be vaccinated against mpox. MSW who are single and willing to be vaccinated may have good knowledge of mpox. These findings underscore the necessity of providing health education on mpox among MSW. When the mpox vaccine is in short supply, priority should be given to high-risk groups, such as MSW.

Application of Health Belief Model in Understanding Wash Behaviour Practices among Mothers of U-5 Children in Lagos Urban Slums

The poor practice of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) supports the spread of disease burdens causing high U-5 children mortality rates in developing countries like Nigeria. Knowledge, perception, attitude and other influencing factors become important in determining WASH practices. This study, guided by the Health Belief Model, assessed the knowledge, perception, and attitude of mothers of U-5 children in Lagos urban slums to WASH behaviour messages in order to understand their WASH practices. The cross-sectional study involved 361 mothers of U-5 children in selected Lagos urban slums. Applying cluster sampling and purposive sampling techniques, the study used a pre-tested structured questionnaire through interviews to collect data on knowledge, perception, attitude, and practice of WASH. IBM SPSS Version (26) was used to analyse the data collected, and the presentation was in percentages, tables and charts. The main objective was analysed using path analysis of the structural equation model (SEM) and logistic regression model. Only 15.2% used improved water sources, 44.3% stored drinking water safely, and 10.3% did not treat home drinking water. Open defecation was high (61.8%); Only 22.4% washed their hands with water and soap at critical times; 36.6% disposed of waste into the river and canal; open dumpsites (33.8%), and 29.6% used waste to fill marshy areas in the environment. The majority (90%) favourably perceived the susceptibility of children to the dangers of unsafe drinking water. The mothers positively perceived the benefits of good WASH practice for children’s health, but (31.1%) had low knowledge of the severity of the risk resulting from poor WASH. The mothers’ positive perceptions did not necessarily reflect in their WASH practices. Age, level of education, marital status, and occupation significantly influenced the respondents’ WASH practice. Economic reasons and limited WASH facilities were barriers, while contributions of community leaders were supportive. Study recommendations include; the provision of WASH facilities and more WASH behaviour education for mothers through participatory communication approaches. The WASH behaviour sensitisation model should be reviewed to have a distinct identity from routine immunization programmes; to enable mothers to understand WASH messages better.
