Investigation of Communication, Social Intelligence and Intercultural Sensitivity Competencies of Teacher Candidates in Sustainable Education by Structural Equation Modeling

It has become increasingly important to provide equal educational opportunities to all students for quality and sustainable education in classrooms with rapidly increasing diversity. In this context, communication skills, social intelligence and intercultural sensitivity are important competences that can affect teacher performance and efficiency in classrooms. Despite the importance of these competencies, empirical studies examining the relationships between these variables are scarce. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the relationships between teacher candidates’ communication skills and their intercultural sensitivity and social intelligence levels through the application of structural equation modeling (SEM). The participants were selected from among the teacher candidates studying at Kütahya Dumlupınar University, a public university in Türkiye, using simple random sampling method. The results indicated that teacher candidates had high levels of communication skills, intercultural sensitivity and social intelligence. In addition, while there was a significant positive relationship between communication skills and intercultural sensitivity level and social intelligence level at low level, there was a significant positive relationship between intercultural sensitivity and social intelligence level at medium level. Furthermore, communication skills and intercultural sensitivity were found to be significant predictors of social intelligence and intercultural sensitivity had a partial mediating role in the relationship between communication skills and social intelligence. In the study, it was concluded that teacher candidates’ communication skills predicted social intelligence through intercultural sensitivity.

Exploring Gender Disparities in Digital Skills: Evidence from the Serbian Tourism Sector

The paper examines the digital skills of key stakeholders in the Serbian tourism industry (supply side) to identify potential gender gaps in digital proficiency. Employing a cross-sectional survey of 418 participants within the tourism industry, we utilized binomial logistic regression to parse out the effects of gender relative to other socio-demographic variables on digital skills. The descriptive results based on DigComp 2.0 methodology reveal notable gender differences, with women showing higher levels of information and communication skills but lagging men in problem-solving and content manipulation skills. However, the binomial logistic regression analysis indicates that gender does not significantly predict digital skill levels in the Serbian tourism sector. Instead, age and education are significant factors, with older individuals less likely to possess advanced digital skills and higher education levels correlating with greater digital proficiency. These findings underscore the critical role of education (formal and informal) in digital skills building, suggesting that comprehensive and targeted educational initiatives could effectively enhance digital skills and competencies across the sector.

Therapeutic Relational Communication and Resilience among Nursing Professionals in a Pandemic Situation.

Therapeutic relational communication has become a fundamental human resource in the nursing profession. The positive relationship between nurse-patient communication and resilience has been shown in several studies. However, these aspects can be affected in adverse circumstances. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between nurse-patient therapeutic relational communication and the resilience of nursing professionals in adverse circumstances. A cross-sectional study with a sample of 201 nursing professionals was conducted. This study found high levels of both therapeutic relational communication between nurses and patients as well as resilience among nurses. The sociodemographic variables of age and years of experience in the profession positively correlated with the data obtained through the measurement instruments. The co-relational analysis revealed a positive correlation between nurse-patient therapeutic relational communication and nurse resilience, and the regression analysis showed that levels of successful therapeutic communication skills were minimally explained by resilience. Nursing professionals who participated in this study demonstrated adequate levels of therapeutic relational communication with their patients as well as adequate levels of resilience required to cope with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in their daily nursing practice. This study was not registered.

Effect of the Flipped Classroom on Nursing Students' Skills Related to Communication with Caregivers and Hospitalized Children During Nursing Care

Background and Objectives: The use of new teaching methods, such as the "flipped classroom," in health education, is considered one of the important priorities of student education. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the flipped classroom on the skills related to nursing students' communication with caregivers and hospitalized children during nursing care. Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 64 nursing students from the 6th semester of Hamedan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran, were selected using the census method and placed in two experimental and control groups. There was no intervention in the control group. The flipped classroom method was used in the test group to teach communication skills. For two groups, the communication skills of each nursing student with accompanying parent and hospitalized child while receiving nursing care based on the checklist were observed and recorded three times at one-week intervals. Moreover, in order to analyze the data, ANOVA, Chi-square, or Fisher's exact test was utilized using the STATA (version 14) software. Results: In all three observations, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the test and the skills related to the control group's communication with hospitalized mothers and children (P<0.001). The average difference between the scores of students in the test group concerning mothers and hospitalized children in the third observation compared to the first observation, as well as in the third observation compared to the second observation, was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion: The flipped classroom can be used as a suitable method to improve the level of communication skills of nursing students

Support for Neurodivergent Students in Veterinary Education Part 1: Current Practice and Roundtable Discussion of Recommendations.

Approximately 10% of undergraduate student populations are neurodivergent. Such students have differences in executive functioning and social communication skills, which can confer both strengths and challenges in the academic environment. Specific challenges presenting in the veterinary curriculum include the intense workload, unpredictable nature of work, and high level of interpersonal and communication skills required in clinical settings. Extramural studies (EMS) occur remote from university support systems, adding further challenge for some students. A survey was sent to all current United Kingdom veterinary schools in 2022 to identify current support for neurodivergent students. An interactive roundtable discussion was held to brainstorm best practice for harnessing the power of neurodiversity in the clinical learning environment. Several consistent themes emerged. Most veterinary schools provide some degree of support for neurodivergent individuals, but support varies widely. Four of the 8 schools provide support at open days and/or following offers, with one school offering a summer school. Five schools confirmed that accommodations were made to clinical rotations and/or extramural studies in line with a support plan from their Disability Service. Despite these steps to assist neurodivergent students, support could, and should, be increased to improve the student experience. Suggested enhancements include a supportive environment for the empowerment of disclosure, neurodiversity awareness training for university staff and placement providers, provision of reasonable adjustment guidelines for EMS providers, clinical/intramural rotation orientation and support, and student access to a neurodiversity mentor/coach.

Development and validation of a patient-centered communication scale for nurses

BackgroundPatient-centered care aims to prevent disease and promote well-being by actively involving patients in treatment and decision-making that is based on respecting the patients and their families. However, no scales have been developed to assess patient-centered care from the nurse’s perspective. This study aimed to develop a scale to measure nurses’ level of patient-centered communication and confirm its validity and reliability.MethodsA methodological cross-sectional study was adopted to develop and validate the Patient-Centered Communication Scale (PCCS). The items were developed through a literature review and online interviews with nurses. Content validity was assessed by experts and the content validity index was calculated. A pretest of the questionnaire was conducted with 10 clinical nurses. To evaluate the factor structure and internal consistency reliability, the PCCS was administered online to 325 nurses in South Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, explanatory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).ResultsThe final instrument consisted of 12 items and three factors: (1) information sharing, (2) patient-as-person, and (3) therapeutic alliance. EFA revealed a distinct three-factor structure, explaining 59.0% of the total variance. CFA confirmed the adequacy of the model fit and validated the inclusion of the final items. The Cronbach’s alpha values ranged from 0.60 to 0.77, indicating acceptable internal consistency. Convergent validity was evidenced by the correlation between the PCCS and a measure of interpersonal communication competence.ConclusionsThe 12-item PCCS showed good reliability, construct validity, and convergent validity. The scale has utility for measuring the level of patient-centered communication skills in nurses.

Health care providers' communication with pediatric patients and carers: a best practice implementation project.

Health care providers need a high level of communication skills in dealing with pediatric patients and their carers. The objective of this project was to evaluate current practice and implement best practices promoting health care provider communication with pediatric patients and carers in a children's hospital in Tabriz, Iran. This project used the JBI Model of Evidence-Based Healthcare, which guided the conceptualization of evidence implementation, context analysis, project implementation, and evaluation of outcomes using evidence-based quality indicators. An audit and feedback strategy was adopted to measure baseline compliance with best practices, develop strategies to address areas of non-compliance, and conduct a final audit to measure any changes in compliance. Four criteria were developed for the baseline and follow-up audits. Criteria 1 and 2 were evaluated using a sample of 30 health care providers, while Criteria 3 and 4 were evaluated using a sample of 80 pediatric patients and carers. All four criteria improved at the end of the project. Criterion 1 (health care staff receive communication skills training) had the highest mean score at baseline and follow-up (63% and 83%, respectively). Criterion 2 (implementation of local strategies by health care organizations) increased from 45% to 55%. However, this rate of improvement was the lowest of all the criteria. Criterion 3 (pediatric patients receive relevant education) improved from low to moderate, rising from 18% to 49%. A more significant improvement was noted for Criterion 4 (parents receive relevant education), which rose from 19% to 56%. The strategies implemented in this project successfully improved health care provider communication with pediatric patients and their carers. To ensure project sustainability, repeat audits will be conducted after 3, 6, and 12 months. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A199.

Value-Based Attitude Towards International Humanitarian Law as Part of Personality Development of Military Students

A value system is a complex of value orientations and meanings that have their roots in the outside world. For military students, international humanitarian law is an important part of personal value system. These norms shape the environment for quasi-professional and academic activities of future military lawyers and officers. International humanitarian legal norms regulate certain social relations, thus entering the sphere of subjective activity and acquiring positive significance. As a result, they become part of an officer’s personality. International legal acts are a quintessence of humanistic principles, goals, and ideas. In this respect, they are an objective source of universal human values and meanings. Hence, they characterize an officer as an intellectual. If introduced into military education curriculum, international humanitarian law could facilitate the development of personal values in future officers and military lawyers. To verify this hypothesis, the authors applied standard research methods to legal documents, as well as conducted a psychological and pedagogical experiment. They identified, systematized, and classified the values and meanings concentrated in the international legal acts of humanitarian law. The military students that studied the international humanitarian law respected traditions and valued security; they were more independent and achievement-oriented, as well as demonstrated a much higher level of communicative and organizational skills than the control group. Therefore, international humanitarian law proved to have a great potential for developing personality values in future officers as part of military education.

Specifics of socialization of children with autism spectrum disorders

IntroductionOne of the important tasks of modern education is the adaptation of children with autism spectrum disorders to the social space, which allows them to ensure their personal development and self-realization.ObjectivesStudy of the specifics of the socialization of children of preschool age with autism spectrum disorders.Methods The study involved 27 preschool children with autism spectrum disorders attending an educational institution for children with disabilities; 6 were girls and 21 were boys; 20 children with intact speech and 7 children with speech disorders. The following methods were used: “Map of manifestations of activity by A.M. Shchetinina, N.A. Abramova; “Map of observations of the manifestations of communicative abilities in preschool children” A.M. Shchetinina, M.A. Nikiforova; “Emotional faces” N.Y. Semago.ResultsIt was found that children with autism spectrum disorders have the greatest severity of such activity indicators as “is in a good mood” (1.67), “shows stubbornness” (1.56) and “shows great mobility” (1.56). Among the manifestations of communicative abilities in preschool children, the most developed parameter is: “sincere in his statements, in the manifestation of his feelings” (2,07). At the same time, the lowest expression of communication skills (0.96) in children with autism spectrum disorders is observed in terms of: “has organizational skills”, “the child seeks to understand the other, his thoughts, feelings”; “observant, sees and realizes the characteristics of other children and adults”. The least pronounced indicator is observed in the indicator of initiative; children do not show initiative in communication, have difficulty understanding and supporting the initiative of another child in an interaction situation. Children have a low level of operational communicative actions and skills: children are not expressive in communication, do not master verbal means of communication and are not able to maintain contact with communication partners.ConclusionsThe results obtained in the study confirm the need to develop and implement psychological and pedagogical programs aimed at developing social skills in preschool children with autism spectrum disorders. This paper has been supported by the Kazan Federal University Strategic Academic Leadership Program.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

NETWORKING AS ONE OF THE WAYS TO DEVELOP SOFT SKILLS OF STUDENTS

This article examines the problem of developing soft skills of students, which are important competencies that help a person to communicate better and more effectively and, in the future, to work successfully. It has been established that soft skills, for example in the field of communication, can be learned at university, but this requires modern technologies such as networking and digital networking, the effectiveness of which has been proven in developed countries of the world. The problems and basic networking skills needed by students to carry out soft communication activities are identified. The effectiveness of networking as a way to develop soft skills of students is implemented within the framework of the “Networking” development program to develop the art of communication and soft communication skills in three modules: “Forum Theater”, “Art of Self-Presentation” and “Business Games”. The carried out activities are aimed at increasing students’ levels of communication skills, communicative competence, and sociability. Its effectiveness is confirmed by the results of experimental work using three methods, as the soft communication skills of many students in the experimental group who attended a special networking course received significant development, both in relation to communication skills, as well as communicative competencies and sociability.

Psychological-Pedagogical Interaction and Its Social Importance in the Formation of Teacher’s Empathy Towards the Student

Modern education in Russia, in practical pedagogical activity, becomes a relatively legal complex of ensuring national interests in the conditions of modern Russian statehood, determining the significant needs of not only the individual, but society. It is very characteristic that in this interpretation the need to obtain professional knowledge becomes a significant element not only in substantive activities, but also in the process of social contacts in society. In this context, the relationship between direct and collective communication is relevant, which allows, from the point of view of psychological processes, to organize interpersonal relationships at all levels of interaction. The purpose of our research is to develop the scientific foundations for studying the process of “teacher-student” interaction, when considering pedagogical perception in modern science, classifying it as the interaction of the general and the particular. Such communication between a student and a teacher on the basis of competent and correct perception becomes significant in the process of perception as a condition for success in the formation of a specialist, which in itself is relevant for improving the modern educational process. The research methodology is based on a theoretical analysis of the basic scientific principles related to the psychology of communication when studying the level of communication skills, emotionality and thinking of an individual. The information and empirical base was a psychological and pedagogical analysis of social interaction in the formation of the teacher’s empathy towards the student. The object of the study is mutual relations in the process of communication in modern education. The scientific novelty lies in the formation of the author's conceptual approach to the model of a quality educational process through interpersonal communication between the teacher and the student, taking into account the psychology of the individual.
