Academic and social integration and their relation to dropping out of teacher education: a comparison to other study programs

IntroductionAcademic and social integration have been identified as key predictors of the decision to drop out by higher education students. So far, there is limited knowledge about whether there are differences in the degree of integration between teacher education students and students in other academic programs, although these differences might affect the decision-making process of students and their likelihood of dropping out. Furthermore, it is still unclear if the reasons for students dropping out of teacher education programs differ from those in other academic programs.MethodsThis study aims to address this research gap by examining integration and dropout rates of 8,237 students who were studying to become teachers, compared to students in similar fields of study in German higher education. The data for the study were collected from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS).ResultsThe results revealed significant differences between teacher education students and other students in peer and faculty social integration, but not in normative and structural academic integration. However, no moderation effect of the teacher education program on the association of integration and dropout was found.DiscussionThe findings contribute to the discussion on causes of dropout in teacher education by showing higher values in peer social integration and lower values in faculty social integration for teacher education students. These results complement previous research by providing new findings on the causes of students’ decision to drop out of initial teacher education. Practical implications on how to increase retention in teacher education programs are discussed.

Systematic Literature Review: Multiple-tier Diagnostic Instruments in Measuring Student Chemistry Misconceptions

Misconception is a conception of someone who is not by scientific concepts recognized by experts. One way to identify students' misconceptions is by conducting tests using diagnostic instruments. This study aims to identify misconceptions in chemistry learning as well as the most widely used types of multiple-tier diagnostic instruments. The research method used is a systematic literature review (SLR) by analyzing relevant research results from the Google Scholar and ERIC databases of 47 articles based on their suitability with the research theme within the last seven years (2016-2022). The systematic literature review method reviews articles systematically by following the steps that have been determined. The research findings show that students' misconceptions mostly occur in the buffer solution material with the most widely used diagnostic instrument, namely the three-tier multiple-choice (50%). The dominant cause of students' chemical misconceptions occurs due to students' internal factors in the form of a mismatch between students' preconceptions and the concepts taught by experts and strategies for applying learning models that are often used as a method to reduce students' chemical misconceptions such as the application of the Dual Situated Learning Model (DSLM) as well as implementing the Elicit, Confront, Identify, Resolve, Reinforce (ECIRR) model.

Exploring Learners' Emotions and Teachers' Strategies in Dealing with Them in EFL Contexts

The study on emotions is particularly important as it is expected to influence people's overall health (Rezapour:2022), then it develops into guilt, embarrassment, shock, pride, and empathy. Based on their experience, this emotion will develop continuously; each of them has different ways of handling it. Understanding students’ emotion is important in the process of studying and receiving any knowledge. This research focuses on one of the private schools located in Malang city. The researchers carried out an interview for more or less sixteen until thirty minutes each, which means around 59 minutes in total. By using the Indonesian language, the researchers conducted the interview with all of the participants face-to-face. Some causes of students’ negative emotions appear such as 1) Do not like the teacher and the subject, 2) Unstable emotions, 3) Class conditions, and 4) Classmates’ Effect. Teachers need to fix students’ negative emotions so that the teaching and learning process will run smoothly.

Representation of Image Formation—Observation in Optics in Ethiopian Textbooks: Student Learning Difficulties as an Analytical Tool

Studies have reported that students find geometric optics topics difficult partly because of representations in textbooks. In Ethiopia, textbooks are the main source of content in schools. Therefore, a study of how textbooks present certain topics can shed light on students’ learning difficulties. This study specifically examines how image formation–observation is presented in Ethiopian textbooks and how these representations might be the possible causes of students’ learning difficulties. Sixth-, eighth-, and tenth-grade physics textbook chapters containing topics related to image were analyzed. The analysis followed a directed approach to qualitative content analysis. The results show that textbooks sometimes contain explanations that explicitly clarify pictorials and are consistently integrated. However, the textbooks also contain implicit, missing, and incorrect verbal representations as well as incomplete, selective, and patterned pictorial representations that are presented inconsistently. Moreover, the textbooks rarely show alternative representations that complement the problematic representations, hence limiting their misinterpretations. Students may intuitively interpret implicit, selective, and patterned representations that may not conform to scientific concepts. Similarly, incorrect, missing, and incomplete representations could be seen as a direct source of students’ misconceptions. The results suggest that authors and teachers of optics textbooks should be aware of students’ learning difficulties because of representations and should emphasize alternative representations.

Analysis of Students' Chemical Literacy on Class X Electrolyte and Non-Electrolyte Solutions at SMAN 2 Batang Anai

The evaluation results on electrolyte and non-electrolyte solution materials at SMAN 2 Batang Anai still have not reached the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). As many as 50% of the 130 students are still incomplete in the evaluation of learning on electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions, so it is necessary to evaluate students so that the teacher knows the causes of students' scores being below the KKM. This study aims to analyze the chemical literacy level of class X students of SMAN 2 Batang Anai in electrolyte and non-electrolyte solution materials using the Rasch model with the Ministep application according to the level of scientific literacy developed by Bybee. This research is a descriptive research with a quantitative approach with a sample of 75 students. The results showed that students in class X SMAN 2 Batang Anai dominated at 2 levels of chemical literacy, namely nominal scientific literacy (52%) and functional scientific literacy (44%). Rasch analysis shows that 96% of students have a negative measurement value with an average student measurement value of -2.63 logit. This shows that the ability of students' chemical literacy in electrolyte and non-electrolyte solution materials is relatively low.

A Systematic Analysis of the Causes of Physics Learning Difficulties among Chinese Secondary School Students

Current international research on learning difficulties in science has been more comprehensive, with researchers analysing classroom teaching, subject characteristics and individual student factors. Within China, physics in science is taught as a separate subject in junior and senior secondary schools, which is often found difficult for students to master. Researchers in China have examined the causes of physics learning difficulties in a variety of ways, each from a different perspective, but these studies tend to dig deeper from a single perspective and lack a systematic generalisation of the causes of students' learning difficulties in physics. This paper uses a literature analysis approach based on ecosystem theory and systematically summarises the influential studies on the factors affecting physics learning difficulties in China. The study classifies the factors affecting physics learning difficulties into internal factors and external factors in the hope of helping teachers with diagnosing physics learning difficulties among secondary school students. This paper finds that learning difficulties in physics for secondary school students exist at the individual, school, home, subject and socio-cultural levels and that teachers have limited influence. Teachers need to enhance their ability to diagnose physics learning difficulties and improve their subject-teaching ability. It also proved that home-school cooperation needs to be enhanced.

Students' boredom in English language classes: Voices from Saudi Arabia.

Although academic research on English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) emotion has recently increased, there is a paucity of studies related to boredom in the Saudi context. To address this issue, the present study aimed to identify the causes of students' boredom in English classes in the Saudi context and the fluctuations of boredom experienced by students while taking language skill courses. Utilizing a mixed-methods design, the study drew upon a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire was completed by 356 participants from different EFL programs in Saudi universities, and the interviews were conducted with 20 students. The results of this study provided a detailed account of the causes of boredom in the Saudi EFL environment. Specifically, an exploratory factor analysis revealed the following seven factors that account for boredom: demotivation, low language learning ability, type of skills-based courses and over-challenging tasks, unfamiliar instructional techniques, teacher feedback areas, under-challenging tasks, and classroom mode, permanent correction, and redundancy. The study also highlighted boredom fluctuations in courses based on language skills via the use of descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, and percentages). Compared to other courses/lessons, the students of EFL programs were found to have the highest boredom levels in grammar and writing. The study ends with a discussion on the implications of the results and provides suggestions for future research.

Students’ Characteristics and Academic Performance in Mathematics

Many researchers have investigated the causes of students’ poor academic performance in general. However, the extent to which students’ individual characteristics affect their academic performance in mathematics has received little academic attention. This was the gap in literature the study sought to fill. The study adopted a convergent parallel mixed methods design involving three hundred and seventy-two (372) respondents in Sagnarigu Municipality of Northern Region, Ghana who were sampled through Simple Random Sampling and purposive sampling techniques. Questionnaire and interview guides were used to collect primary data. The analysis of the collected data revealed that: willingness to learn mathematics, perceptions that mathematics is a difficult subject, readiness for the use of mathematics teaching and learning materials available, relationship with mathematics teachers and attentiveness in mathematics lessons all affected students’ academic performance in mathematics. It is therefore recommended that the various school management bodies could work with the Guidance and Counselling units to provide some form of support for students who are fearful of mathematics.

Multi-layered e-feedback anxiety: An action research study among Chinese learners using peer feedback activities in an academic writing course.

There is a gradual increase in the use of e-feedback in higher education, but issues regarding learners' anxiety remain unresolved. In light of the learners' anxiety, e-feedback would essentially become a formality if they are not proactive in providing constructive feedback. This action research examines three cycles of e-feedback activities performed by 12 doctoral students in an academic writing course in a public university in Macau, China. Specifically, the e-feedback activity involved a comprehensive use of various new educational technology tools, namely Moodle, WeChat and Rain Classroom. This study reveals that the causes of students' anxiety when using e-feedback are multi-layered, mainly from the use of smartphones as a communication medium for conducting formal learning activities and the lack of interpersonal and English skills for conveying their thoughts when providing e-feedback. The traditional Chinese culture about the importance of "face" and interpersonal harmony also has impacts on learners' e-feedback delivery. These findings shed new lights on pedagogical practice in higher education.

Effectiveness of Vocational Training on Light Vehicle Mechanics in Underprivileged Children’s Educational Programs, Nepal

Training effectiveness is important for the employment of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) school graduates, such as light vehicle mechanics in the automobile industry. This study explored the training effectiveness of light vehicle mechanics in Nepal, with focus on students’ satisfaction with TVET school’s physical facilities and physical environment. The training effectiveness is explored among the sampled TVET graduates of CTEVT affiliated TVET schools, using quantitative method of research. The overall impression of the training was effective because the graduates responded positively about training. The schools did not fully achieve the objectives due to inadequate provision of modern technology. Thus, they pointed out the need for regular up-to-date tools and equipment as per need of the industry. Utilization of library facility and technology in the teaching- learning methods was equally needed. The skill mismatch could be solved by linking industry to the TVET training. This study may draw an interest of the TVET school leaders for taking effective measures to maintain quality of graduates, keeping in mind the industry needs. Similarly, future researchers may take reference when they want to explore the underlying causes of students’ satisfaction with physical facility and school environment, as well as training and skill mismatch in the labor market among the TVET school graduates.

A qualitative investigation of stressful life events and mental health disorders: The views of patients and caregivers in Bangladesh.

Mounting mental health disorders among students has become a significant challenge in producing quality graduates with bright minds. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the underlying causes of students' mental health-related problems and their experiences while living with mental health disorders. This study investigates the causes and exposures of mental health problems among university students in Bangladesh. For this purpose, a qualitative method was used, and an unstructured in-depth interview schedule was used to collect data from students and caregivers. The students were selected from Khulna University, and data were collected in two consecutive months, i.e., November and December 2021. Using a convenient sampling technique, eight (8) students with mental health issues and five (5) caregivers were interviewed to obtain the necessary data. The findings showed that the intertwined social circumstances led to mental health problems among university students. The students experienced deep depression following a breakup of their romantic affairs/relationships. The prolonged isolation or social distancing due to the government-imposed strict lockdown during the COVID-19 also produced frustration regarding the possible loss of both academic and professional careers. Furthermore, the growing academic pressure in a form of an unfamiliar approach to teaching and learning-online education-also compelled students to complain about depression and suicidal tendencies as parts of their experiences. This study recommends that the government and policymakers prioritize mental health issues in educational institutions, and they should enforce specific strategies, such as introducing age-specific mental health services and student counseling at educational institutions to reduce growing mental health issues. Furthermore, a positive approach from the family and community is also required to battle against mental health disorders. Besides, nationally representative empirical research is recommended to comprehend the growing mental health issues among students in the 21st century to figure out solutions for the present and the future.
