Personality and Teaching Motivations of Prospective Teachers in Cuba

ABSTRACT The five-factor model is one of the most researched theories of personality and is frequently evaluated through the Big Five Inventory (BFI). The present study aims to explore the reliability and factorial validity of the BFI in Cuba and to investigate the relationships between personality traits and motivations for teaching. A sample of 320 prospective teachers from two universities participated in the study. A total scale reliability score of α = .73 was obtained. Principal Component Analysis using varimax rotation validated a five-factor structure, however, poor loadings of some items of the agreeableness and neuroticism factors were found. Personality dimensions of the five-factor model provided a set of meaningful relations with motivational factors determining the choice of entering the teaching profession. The dimensions of conscientiousness and agreeableness were significant predictors of intrinsic motivation as well as satisfaction with career choice. In particular, conscientiousness emerged as an important personality trait of prospective teachers. The findings obtained are partly in line with previous studies and are significant for recruitment strategies that optimize teacher quality.

Meningkatkan Dimensi Bergotong Royong dalam Belajar PAK-BP dengan Model PBL Materi Pribadi Yang Tumbuh dan Berkembang Fase B Kelas IV SDN 16 Panoalatn

The changes of the times may result in a shift in the values of life for individuals or even groups of people. However, most members of society who are not significantly affected by these changes continue to use "old ways." Good values from these traditional ways should indeed be preserved and developed by being passed down through generations, whether by communities that are far from modernization or those following contemporary progress. One long-standing tradition is the concept of mutual cooperation or "gotong royong." The dimension of mutual cooperation, as deepened in the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum), must be echoed both in schools and within society. In today's era, the spirit and values of mutual cooperation have diminished in some areas. Therefore, efforts are needed to further enhance this dimension. One way to deepen the Dimension of Mutual Cooperation is through Catholic Religious Education and Moral Education using the Problem-Based Learning model with five students at SDN 16 Panoalatn, aiming to improve the Dimension of Mutual Cooperation. In Cycle 1, the students’ development results showed 40% in the "Still Developing" category, 40% in the "Adequate" category, and 20% in the "Proficient" category, with none reaching the "Mastery" level (0%). Improvements were made in Cycle 2, with results showing 0% in the "Still Developing" and "Adequate" categories, 40% in the "Proficient" category, and 60% in the "Mastery" category for the Dimension of Mutual Cooperation.

THE MUTLISTAKEHOLDER INITIATIVE APPROACH TO EUROPEAN CRISIS MANAGEMENT. CIVILIAN CSDP AND ENGAGEMENT WITH LOCAL NONSTATE ACTORS

: The Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions are deployed in complex operational environments, where a plethora of national, regional and international actors are present. These present circumstances enable the existence of an - either direct or indirect - but inexorable engagement between all stakeholders involved in similar activities. While the vast majority of current debates and research focus solely on the cooperative dimension of the CSDP in the framework of multilateralism and regionalism, the topic of the EU's engagement with local stakeholders is scarcely explored. Therefore, drawing on the multistakeholder initiative approach (MSI) in economic theory, this paper assesses the engagement of CSDP missions with civil societies and private sector entities in theatres of operations. Employing a single case study approach of inquiry, consisting of the EUCAP Somalia mission this paper aims at answering the research questions: how does EUCAP Somalia engage with local non-state actors, what are the opportunities associated with this engagement and to what extent can a MSI approach be implemented by EUCAP Somalia?By deploying a qualitative research design, this paper uses document analysis within a single case study approach of inquiry. The results of this approach show two distinct tendencies. While EUCAP Somalia informally engages with local non-state actors, this engagement is rather insufficient. Results of this research further show that CSDP missions represent an important tool of EU diplomacy and their engagement with local non-state actors positively impacts the implementation of two of their core principles: local ownership and human security.

THE CONTENT ANALYSIS OF CULTURAL VALUES IN READING TEXT IN ENGLISH TEXTBOOK AT THE EIGHTH GRADE AT SMP NEGERI 1 GUNUNGSITOLI

Cultural values are the basis of thinking and views of a community group that has been studied and selected so that it is considered good, therefore cultural values based learning is very important for the easy generation of a nation. In Indonesia, cultural values in education are included in the independent curriculum and are referred to as the Pancasila student profile. These values must be applied in learning including in learning materials as a form of strengthening the cultural values of the nation's children in the midst of global progress. Given the importance of this, this study aims to analyze cultural values in reading texts contained in English textbooks at UPTD SMP Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli. The main purpose of this study is to analyze and describe the cultural values in the reading text, how the author implements the meaning in the sentence and whether the reading text in the book have met the purpose of the curriculum. This research used a qualitative approach and content analysis technique. The data analysis technique is based on the theory namely familiarizing and organizing, coding and reduction and interpreting and representing. Data collection was based on using check table instruments and document analysis. Data were collected through analysis of reading texts in the English for Nusantara book at UPTD SMP Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli. Then the data collected was processed qualitatively to analyze the patterns and meanings by the cultural values in the Pancasila student profile. The results showed that five dimensions were successfully adapted in the reading text, namely the dimension of faith, ear o almighty God and noble morals, the second dimension of global diversity, the third dimension of cooperation, the fourth dimension of independence and the fifth dimension of creativity. The only dimension that was not found was the critical reasoning dimension. The next finding is the meaning integration technique conveyed in the text sentences based on the results of the analysis, the researcher found two types of meaning adaptation in the sentences in the text, namely explicit and implicit. Between the two, the explicit adaptation technique is the most widely used by book authors while implicit is used the least. Based on these two findings, the researcher concluded that the author still needs to pay attention to embedding the value of the Pancasila student profile into the student reading text.

Impact of Big Five Personality on Employee Burnout: A Mediated Analysis through Psychological Empowerment

Burnout has become a much-discussed mental health problem in modern society. Although burnout can occur in many professions, research in the industry sector is limited. This study aims to determine the mediating effect of Psychological Empowerment on the relationship between Big Five personality and burnout. This research combines explanatory research methods with quantitative methodology. The population of this study were all employees of PT Telkom Access, totalling 125 people. The measurements used in this study are the Big Five Inventory (BFI) scale, Burnout Assessment Scale (BAT), and Psychological Empowerment Scale. The results showed that the big five personality significantly affect burnout. Dimensions that affect burnout are conscientiousness and neuroticism, while extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience are not significant. The effects of extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience burnout were weak in this study, although many previous studies have supported the relationship between these two variables. The test results of the mediating role of Psychological Empowerment show that the dimensions of conscientiousness and openness to experience influence burnout most, followed by the dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Thus, the mediation of psychological empowerment is proven effective in playing the big five personality relationship with burnout. This study has limitations that must be addressed. First, the model has limited work resource and demand variables as the study focuses on individual variations rather than job features. Secondly, as this study used self-reported surveys, shared method variance may be the cause of the relationship.

The stability of cooperation in the context of cross-border cooperation: The example of Poland's borderlands

Abstract The objective of this paper was to conceptualise the issue of cooperation stability in research on cross-border cooperation. On this basis, regularities related to selected aspects of the stability of cross-border cooperation were identified using the example of the Polish border regions. The analysis was based on a complex review of the Interreg, ETC, ENPI, and ENI cross-border cooperation programmes implemented in the Polish border regions between 2007–2013 and 2014–2020, taking into account both internal and external EU borders. The study covered a total of 1,577 projects realised between 2007–2013 and 2014–2020 by more than 4,500 beneficiaries, comprising 2,307 organisations. A survey of these organisations was also conducted. The resulting analysis helped to identify the relative stability of partner types and the thematic scope and spatial dimension of cross-border cooperation, while at the same time revealing a lack of stability in the organisational dimension. In addition, the study showed that the initiation and subsequent maintenance of cross-border relationships are the result of a complex process, in which many factors co-exist simultaneously, whereas the break-up of cooperation can be the product of individual factors.

Interregional Cooperation Between Ukraine and the EU During Martial Law: Challenges and Dynamics Under the SDG'S

Objective: The research aims to study the specifics of the development of interregional cooperation between Ukraine and the EU under conditions of military conflict, including an analysis of programs and initiatives and the study of the relationship between problems and development directions. Theoretical Framework: The development of interregional cooperation with EU member states requires considering the impact of the war on the political, economic, social, and environmental dimensions of cooperation between the regions involved. Method: The research framework on interregional cooperation between Ukraine and the EU used methods of analysing literary sources, generalisation, and systematisation. The development assessment was based on expert evaluations of two groups and included correlation analysis using the JASP program functionality, specifically the "Bayesian Pearson Correlations" tool. Results and Discussion: The study results indicate a high correlation between problems and directions of interregional cooperation development. The correlation analysis showed that political stability influences financial support for the economic stability of regions (r = -0.28 with BF₁₀ = 0.513). In turn, political cooperation in the formation of democratic reforms is significant for reducing the investment attractiveness of regions (r = 0.26 with BF₁₀ = 0.478), and the development of innovations requires additional financial investments for the effective implementation of cooperation programs (r = -0.25 with BF₁₀ = 0.461). Research Implications: The initiatives for financial support of regions are closely related to solving environmental problems (r = -0.39 with BF₁₀ = 0.869), one of the biggest threats to further cooperation development between Ukraine and the EU. Originality/Value: The development of interregional cooperation between Ukraine and the EU under martial law requires an integrated approach to adapting programs and initiatives.

Relationships Between Five-Factor Personality Theory and Values on Adolescents

Values are a set of principles that guide human life. Their importance can vary from person to person. Schwartz's concept of value is defined as guiding principles in the lives of people or other social formations. These include freedom, equality, and environmental protection. Schwartz created 10 basic value groups that are thought to have universal characteristics. The aforementioned values are divided into the following groups: self-direction, universality, benevolence, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, power, security, conformity, and tradition. According to Schwartz, spiritual values in individuals are associated with the dimensions of universality, benevolence, self-direction, and self-transcendence. At the same time, it seems that spirituality overlaps with the values of tradition and conformity, which are closely related to religiosity. In contrast, personality refers to a set of unique, consistent, and enduring characteristics in individuals, encompassing their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. McCrae and Costa posit that personality traits are grouped under five dimensions: extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. Some personality theories posit that spirituality is a part of personality. In this respect, personality and spirituality are closely related. The principal objective of this research is to ascertain whether the personality dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and openness to experience are predictive of values pertaining to security, power, benevolence, stimulation, traditionalism, hedonism, universalism, self-direction, achievement, and conformity. To this end, a multiple regression model incorporating these variables was constructed and subjected to testing in the study. The study group consisted of 308 high school students studying in Niğde in the 2021-2022 academic year. The study group comprised 173 women (56.2%) and 135 men (43.8%). The ages of the study group ranged between 14 and 18 years (mean age = 16.39; standard deviation = 0.87). The results of the regression analysis indicated that personality dimensions predicted the values. It was found that different personality dimensions predicted different values in a positive or negative manner.

Personality traits and co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and high BMI: a prospective cohort study.

We assess the associations between personality traits and co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and high BMI from adolescence to early adulthood. We employed a nationally representative cohort in China from 2010 to 2020 year. We included adolescents aged 10-19 years without depressive symptoms and unhealthy weight status (obesity, overweight, or thinness) at baseline and excluded those without any measurement of depressive symptoms or BMI at follow-ups. We assessed baseline personality traits in 7 dimensions of conscientiousness, openness, neuroticism, agreeableness, extraversion, self-esteem, and responsibility. We also assessed the combined effects of these 7 dimensions of personality traits by generating individual-level personality trait risk scores based on the weighted sum of all these 7 dimensions of personality traits. We measured the co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and high BMI using both a single measurement of depressive symptoms and BMI at the last follow-up and repeated measurements of them over 10 years. We used the multinomial logistic regression models to examine the exposure-outcome associations. At baseline, we included 1778 individuals (mean age: 14.4 year; female: 853 (48.0%)). At follow-ups, we observed increased risk of co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and high BMI per 1-SD increase in neuroticism score (1.95-2.38 odds ratio) or 1-SD decrease in self-esteem and conscientiousness (0.63-0.80 odds ratio; all P values < 0.05); we observed no evidence of associations between openness, agreeableness, extraversion, or responsibility and the risk of co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and high BMI (all P values > 0.05). For the combined effects of the 7 dimensions of personality traits, we found an elevated risk of co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and high BMI per 1-SD increase in the personality trait risk scores (OR (95% CI), single measurement at the last follow-up: 2.01, 1.66 to 2.43; trajectory classification using the repeated measurements 2.30, 1.55 to 3.42; average level using the repeated measurements: 2.27, 1.93 to 2.67). In this national cohort in China, personality traits were found to be associated with the co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and high BMI from adolescence to early adulthood. These findings highlight the importance of stratifying individuals based on their personality traits and providing targeted interventions for those at risk of comorbid depression and obesity.

Percentage of Pancasila student profile dimensions in the Merdeka curriculum and the implications for high school guidance and counseling programs

The Merdeka curriculum is an improvement on the previous curriculum, namely the 2013 curriculum, whose implementation was based on the implementation of the Pancasila student profile. The aim of this research is to compare the six dimensions of the Pancasila student profile in order to assist counselors in developing guidance and counseling service programs. This research uses a survey method. The research subjects were 90 students in class X at a private Catholic high school in Malang. The results of data analysis in this study found that the percentage of the dimensions of faith, devotion to God Almighty, and having noble morals was 80.56%, the global diversity dimension was 72.83%, the mutual cooperation dimension was 81.61%, the independent dimension was 83.78%, the critical reasoning was obtained at 81.50%, and the creative dimension was obtained at 77.67%. The findings of this study can be utilized as a point of reference for counselors to design guidance and counseling programs in schools to enhance or maintain values that strengthen dimensions within the Pancasila student profile. This includes collaborating with subject teachers, conducting group guidance, using traditional games, art therapy, and various counseling techniques.

Paradiplomacy in Hard Times: Cooperation and Confrontation in Subnational U.S.–China Relations

Abstract What becomes of subnational foreign engagement when international tensions rise? State-level U.S.–China relations offer insights into unresolved theoretical questions about the dynamics of what we call “paradiplomacy in hard times.” Whereas U.S. state governments expanded official engagements with China in the early 2010s, many states and cities have scaled back engagement and introduced anti-PRC measures in recent years amid worsening U.S.–China friction. We draw on an original dataset of state-level policy actions toward China (2012–2022) to assess patterns of variation across time and space in subnational U.S.–China relations, showing that subnational foreign relations in times of tension feature distinct dimensions of cooperation and confrontation. Meanwhile, we use a detailed case study of Indiana–China relations to develop insights into drivers of subnational cooperation and confrontation, highlighting the diverging interests and actions of the business community, state officials, federal officials, political parties, and Chinese government counterparts in shaping states’ foreign relations.
