Bullying in gifted and talented children: A systematic review

The objective of this study was to carry out a systematic review of the research works that have analyzed bullying in gifted and talented children. The search was conducted in psychology and education databases (Scopus), considering works from the past 14 years (2009-2022). The research method used is the systematic literature review (SLR) method; the data is analyzed qualitatively, referring to the Milles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and data validation. The search string in this study is "bullying," AND "gifted," OR "talented," OR "children." The articles that have been selected are then mapped and codified with Nvivo 12 Pro. The results showed that gifted and talented children in early childhood institutions are more likely to be victims of bullying by their peers due to their unique characteristics and superior cognitive functions. Bullying behavior commonly experienced by gifted children takes the form of insults referring to their intelligence, comments about their appearance, or academic qualifications. Therefore, teachers play an essential role in creating a positive environment, rewarding high academic achievement, and conducting early identification. This study highlights the educational stakeholders' need to provide training or specific actions to the managers of early childhood institutions related to the prevention of bullying in gifted and talented children.

Educational outcomes among children with congenital heart disease compared to peers: a Scotland-wide record-linkage study of 715,850 schoolchildren

BackgroundNine in every thousand children born in the United Kingdom have congenital heart disease, and 250,000 adults are living with the condition. This study aims to investigate the associations between congenital heart disease and educational outcomes among school-aged children in Scotland.MethodsRoutine health and education databases were linked to produce a cohort of all singleton children born in Scotland and attending a local authority run primary, secondary, or special school in Scotland at some point between 2009 and 2013. Children with congenital heart disease within this cohort were compared with children unaffected by congenital conditions. Outcomes investigated were special educational need (SEN), absenteeism, exclusion, academic attainment, and unemployment. All analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic and maternity confounders. Absenteeism was investigated as a mediating factor in the associations with attainment and unemployment.ResultsOf the 715,850 children, 6,295 (0.9%) had congenital heart disease and 4,412 (6.1%) had isolated congenital heart disease. Congenital heart disease and isolated congenital heart disease were both significantly associated with subsequent special educational need (OR 3.45, 95% CI 3.26–3.65, p < 0.001 and OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.84–2.13, p < 0.001 respectively), absenteeism (IRR 1.13, 95% CI 1.10–1.16, p < 0.001 and IRR 1.10, 95% CI 1.06–1.13, p < 0.001 respectively), and low academic attainment (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.39–2.07, p < 0.001 and OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.07–1.69, p = 0.011 respectively). Neither congenital heart disease nor isolated congenital heart disease were associated with school exclusion. Only congenital heart disease (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.03–1.42, p = 0.022) but not isolated congenital heart disease was associated with unemployment. When days absent were included in the analyses investigating attainment and unemployment, the conclusions were not altered.ConclusionChildren with congenital heart disease have greater special educational need, lower school attendance, attain lower examination grades and have greater unemployment compared to peers. In addition to healthcare support, affected children need educational support to avoid additional impact on their long-term wellbeing.

Pioneering Online Assessment Solutions: Empirical Experiences from Educational Practitioners

The emergence of E-learning has shaped the university's new pedagogical, environment to guarantee business continuity in worse pandemics. Assessment is an end process of learning however, measuring it to globally accepted standards is still a nightmare in universities. It is not clear whether the assessment spells out the tasks posed to learners? illustrate an observable demonstration of the learners’ ability? or have a detailed scoring criterion? no wonder stake holders still doubt assessment online. The research examined qualitative literature regarding the innovative strategies for online educational assessment sustainable and scalable. To gather empirical qualitative data on this subject, a systematic review of literature was undertaken. The study responded to one major research question. “What are the experiences of educational practitioners reported in empirical qualitative research studies pertaining innovative strategies for online educational assessment?” We conducted a qualitative review of the scientific literature published between 2010 and 2022 using the PRISMA framework, thematic analysis was employed to generate themes and patterns. Education databases, like ERIC were used for the article search. Search phrases utilized for this systematic review included “Strategies for online assessment” and “Assessment of E-learning.” 16 articles were included in the analysis for this study. findings point to the Asynchronous Online Discussion, E-portfolios, Distance Project based assessment, Online proctored Exams, Online non-proctored exams as sustainable strategies. The study demonstrates a potential solution to online assessment in universities and restores confidence among educational partners and funders.

Educators' invisible labour: A systematic review

AbstractThe hidden or overlooked nature of many of educators' professional activities complicates the already difficult task of supporting educators' labour—in both K‐12 and higher education settings. These efforts can be understood as types of invisible labour. Following PRISMA standards, we conducted a systematic literature review to answer a single research question: How have scholars framed educators' professional activities in terms of invisible labour? This systematic review searched 10 educational databases and identified 16 peer‐reviewed journal articles spanning 2011–2021. From thematic analysis of these studies, we developed a model of five types of invisibility that intersect and mask educators' professional efforts: background, care, precarious, identity and remote labour. The review also showed several overall themes related to educators' invisible labour, which we discuss in connection to the literature: effort is often semivisible, invisibility is subjective, effort by marginalised educators is often overlooked, labour in unexpected places often means effort is overlooked, and there are layers of factors masking effort. We then discuss implications for practice, starting with five invisible labour questions to prompt reflection, then how to apply invisible labour as an improvement lens for identifying needs, allocating resources, analysing jobs and tasks, and evaluating performance.

Bibliometric Analysis of Master’s and Doctoral Theses on Vegan Nutrition in Turkey

This study aims to examine the bibliometric characteristics of thesis studies on vegan nutrition conducted in existing academies in Turkey and included in the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education (YÖKTEZ) database. A total of 118 theses published between 2002 and 2023, related to vegan nutrition, were included in the research. Our study revealed that the majority of the published thesis studies on the topic were at the master's degree level and that predominantly female researchers showed interest in the subject. It was also found that the highest number of studies, both at the master's and doctoral levels, were conducted within the Food Engineering discipline. Quantitative research methods were mostly used, and an increasing interest in the topic was observed over the years.

THE IMPACT OF STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS ON PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR

The low awareness and behaviour of environmental care and the increasing cases of environmental damage caused by human behaviour are the background of the research. Environmental problems caused by humans continue to occur and increase every year, ranging from the destruction of ecosystems to the emergence of waste that damages the environment. Environmental care behaviour is an important part that must be owned by every human being on earth, because this is related to the survival of every creature, both plants, animals, and other humans. This study aims to determine the effect of students' participation in environmental education programmes on pro environmental behaviour. This research is a type of quantitative research with survey method. Data collection techniques were obtained by means of observation and questionnaires. The research subjects were 5th grade elementary school students totalling 45 people. Data analysis was conducted using paired sample t test to measure the influence between variables and linear regression analysis to measure the amount of influence given. The results showed that there was a positive influence of student participation on pro environmental behaviour with sig. 0.004 &lt; 0.005, with rcount = 0.419 &gt; rtable = 0.294 so that it can be interpreted that the higher the participation of students in the environment, the better the environmental care behaviour, where R2 = 0.175 shows the influence of student participation with pro environmental behavior by 17%, while 83% is influenced by other factors. From these results, it shows that students' participation in environmental education programs plays an important role in supporting environmental care behaviour that leads to attitudes to protect the environment. The implication of the research is as a database and evaluation of education, especially in the environmental care behaviour of elementary school students.

Perceptions of Patients and Nurses about Bedside Nursing Handover: A Qualitative Systematic Review and Meta-Synthesis.

Bedside nursing handover is a recognized nursing practice that involves conducting shift change communication at the patient's bedside to enhance communication safety. Understanding the perceptions of both patients and nurses regarding bedside handover is crucial in identifying the key principles for developing and implementing effective bedside handover protocols. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive evidence that summarizes and evaluates studies focused on qualitative approaches for gaining insights into the perceptions of both nurses and patients. This meta-synthesis review aims to identify, synthesize, and evaluate the quality of primary qualitative studies on the perceptions of patients and nurses about bedside nursing handover. A meta-synthesis review was conducted to identify qualitative studies that reported patients and nurses' perceptions about bedside handover using seven electronic databases, including CINAHL, PsycINFO, Embase, Education Database (ProQuest), Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and PubMed, from January 2013 to November 2023. The authors independently selected reviews, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of included studies using the 10-item JBI Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument tool. A total of 871 articles were retrieved, of which 13 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These studies identified three main themes: (1) facilitators of bedside nursing handover, (2) barriers to bedside nursing handover, and (3) strategies to maintain confidentiality during bedside handover. This study systematically reviewed and integrated the perceptions of patients and nurses about bedside handover. Based on nurses' perceptions, the combined findings highlight the facilitators of bedside handover, including developing partnership interaction between nurses and patients, promoting professionalism, and enhancing emotional communication among nurses. From the patients' viewpoint, the synthesized findings emphasize the facilitators of bedside handover, including acknowledging the expertise, professionalism, and humanity of the nursing profession, ensuring a sense of safety, satisfaction, and confidence in the care received, as well as promoting individualized nursing care. In the context of barriers to bedside handover, both nurses and patients perceive breaches of confidentiality and privacy violations as significant barriers. When it comes to maintaining confidentiality during bedside handovers, it is important to consider patients' preferences. Patients often prefer handovers to take place in a private setting. From the nurses' perspective, it is important to inquire with patients about their preference for the presence of caregivers, and to conduct private handovers for sensitive issues away from the bedside. Relevance to Clinical Practice. Clinicians should carefully evaluate the barriers and facilitators in this meta-synthesis prior to implementing bedside handover. Study Registration. This study is registered in PROSPERO with Protocol registration ID: CRD42024514615.

Five-Year Trends of Vascular Disease-Related Amputations in Romania: A Retrospective Database Study.

Background/Objectives: Lower extremity amputations (LEAs) are a burdensome complication of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and/or arterial embolism and thrombosis (AET). We assessed the trends in PAD- and/or AET-related LEAs in Romania. Methods: This retrospective study (2015-2019) analyzed data on minor and major LEAs in hospitalized patients recorded in the National School for Public Health, Management, and Health Education database. The absolute numbers and incidences of LEAs were analyzed by diagnosis type, year, age, sex, and amputation level. Results: Of 38,590 vascular disease-related amputations recorded nationwide, 36,162 were in PAD and 2428 in AET patients. The average LEA incidence in the general population was 34.73 (minimum: 31.96 in 2015; maximum: 36.57 in 2019). The average incidence of major amputations, amputations above the knee, hip amputations, amputations below the knee, and minor amputations was 16.21 (15.62 in 2015; 16.84 in 2018), 13.76 (13.33 in 2015; 14.28 in 2018), 0.29 (0.22 in 2017; 0.35 in 2019), 2.15 (2.00 in 2015; 2.28 in 2019), and 18.52 (16.34 in 2015; 20.12 in 2019), respectively. Yearly PAD- and/or AET-related amputations were significantly higher in men versus women. The overall number of LEAs increased with age, particularly in patients ≥ 70 years. The increase in the total number of amputations was mainly due to a constant rise in minor amputations for both groups, regardless of gender. Conclusions: PAD- and/or AET-related LEAs in Romania increased from 2015 to 2019, with men having a greater incidence than women. Raising awareness and effective management strategies are needed to prevent LEAs.

영재교육종합데이터베이스(GED)의 역량중심 영재교육 프로그램 중 중등 생명과학 영역 분석

Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide implications for improving gifted education programs by analyzing the secondary life science among the competency-based gifted education programs of the Gifted Education Database (GED).&#x0D; Methods Among GED's competency-based gifted education programs, the secondary life science consists of ‘system and interaction’ in 2018, ‘energy’ and ‘stability’ in 2019, and ‘pattern of change’ in 2020. Since each major theme consists of several sub-topics and independent classes are conducted for each sub-topic, the class grouped into one sub-topic was considered as an individual program and analyzed. For the analysis of the program, the ‘evaluation criteria for science gifted education programs’ were used as an analysis tool. Three incumbent science teachers with experience in gifted education participated in the analysis of the program, and in order to secure the objectivity of the research, the analysis results were continuously discussed and opinions were collected.&#x0D; Results As a result of the analysis of a total of 15 programs, a score of 22 to 30 out of 36 points of the evaluation criteria appears. Looking at the main characteristics of the evaluation criteria, the most common characteristics in the 15 programs are ‘3. target clarity’, followed by ‘2. talent development opportunity’, ‘5. evaluation element’, and ‘6. learning activity’. On the other hand, the least visible characteristics in 15 programs are ‘10. consistency of program components and ease of use by other educators’, followed by ‘7. teaching strategy’ and ‘1. nature of differentiation’.&#x0D; Conclusions When developing competency-based gifted education programs in the secondary life science in the future, it is necessary to supplement the characteristics of ‘10. consistency of program components and ease of use by other educators’, ‘7. teaching strategy’, and ‘1. nature of differentiation’. Through this, it will be possible to actively support the talents and characteristics of gifted students, and teachers in the field of gifted education will be able to properly utilize the programs. In addition, it is necessary to further analyze competency-based gifted education programs in the elementary life science to closely link with secondary gifted education. Also, it is necessary to conduct additional research to directly observe classes on how the programs analyzed in this study are implemented in the field of gifted education.&#x0D;

Using machine learning for continuous updating of meta-analysis in educational context

Machine learning and learning analytics are powerful tools that not only support researchers in the detailed measurement and enhancement of learning processes in various learning environments, but also enable the aggregation and synthesis of evidence regarding effective educational practices. This paper describes the development and application of machine learning algorithms aimed at semi-automatic selection of abstracts for a meta-analysis on the effects of simulation-based learning in higher education. The goal was to reduce the workload while also maintaining the transparency and objectivity of the selection process. The algorithms were trained, validated, and tested on a set of 3187 studies on simulation-based learning found in medical and educational databases collected before April 2018. Subsequently, they were utilized to classify abstracts for a follow-up meta-analysis consisting of 2373 studies (published between 2018 and 2020). The aim of training the algorithms was to predict studies’ abstract eligibility based on words and combinations of words used in these abstracts. The application of the algorithms reduced the number of studies that had to be manually screened from 2373 to 711. A total of 458 studies from automatically selected abstracts were included in the full-text screening, indicating the high precision of the algorithms (also compared to the performance of human raters). We conclude that machine learning algorithms can be trained and used to classify abstracts for their eligibility, significantly reducing the workload for the researchers without diminishing objectivity and quality when updating systematic literature reviews with or without a meta-analysis.

ЦИФРОВІ БАЗИ ДАНИХ ДЛЯ ОСВІТИ І ПРО ОСВІТУ: ДОСВІД ДАНІЇ

The article analyzes the content and specifics of Denmark's open educational electronic databases with the aim of adapting the existing Danish experience to the processes of digitization of the educational sphere in Ukraine. It was noted that these processes cover the sphere of the state policy of digitization of the educational realm (organizational, methodical, management, monitoring, accumulative mechanisms), education management (data storage to reflect the history of changes, monitoring of existing services and education quality control systems, accumulation of statistical data and their prognostic analysis), methodical support of the process of forming the digital competence of the educational process’ subjects (building information profiles, developing digital didactic subsystems, increasing the level of competitiveness of educational institutions as providers), the scientific sphere (digitalization of the open scientific environment, building a space of academic integrity, cooperation between scientists and stakeholders). The common characteristics of the National Electronic Research and Information System URIS and the Danish educational database MED were analyzed. A vision model of the MED database (subjects of educational activity and the content of their activity) was built. The structure of monitoring the quality of education in Denmark, based on open electronic databases, is presented; it includes evaluation of the professional activity of teachers, compliance of educational programs with the social order, effectiveness of state/regional types of certification of graduates, standardization and unification of the evaluation system, mandatory regional analysis of statistical data. It was noted that the identified problems and shortcomings of computer testing of school graduates in the context of assessing the quality of their activities became a significant motivating factor for the creation of the MED database. The conclusion was formulated that the open electronic database makes it possible to build statistically substantiated correlations between the existing social characteristics of teachers and students of all levels and types of schools. The main advantages of the created open MED database were noted: compliance with the global requirements for the assessment of the "added value of the teacher", high frequency of data collection, prognostic nature of conclusions regarding the formation of the state's educational policy.

Analysis of the Influence of Fund Allocation and Sustainable Academic Efficiency Based on a Transformation of Public Goods in Higher Education

The allocation of funding for higher education typically focuses on competition in neoliberal mechanisms. Surprisingly, much less attention has been paid to considering the effect of fund allocations for sustainable development through public goods purposes in neoliberal contexts. This study aims to examine specific funding schemes and determine the influential factors impacting funding for teaching, research, and public goods transformation. Taking Taiwan’s Higher Education Sprout Project (HESP) as an example, we explored the effect of policy initiatives on public goods transformation towards sustainable development. The data were collected from the Ministry of Education and Scopus databases. First, a regression analysis was conducted to determine which factors influence the effect of funding allocations in academic institutes. Second, we used a logistic regression to detect the effects of the system and the sector. Third, we used partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to explore the causal effects among the selected impact variables on expected outcomes. Finally, we used the bootstrap method to demonstrate the model’s robustness. Our study found that only diversity was shown in private technology groups receiving less HESP funding, while it did not widen the differences in the sector and system in the transformation process. Our findings suggest that funding allocations will not affect teaching and research based on sectors and systems. In contrast, this study demonstrates that transforming public goods through special funding can play a critical role in leading sustainable development in higher education.

Parental unemployment and educational outcomes in late adolescence: the importance of family cohesion, parental education, and family income in a Norwegian study.

The study aimed to investigate the association between parental unemployment and grade point average and school completion in adolescence, and the importance of family cohesion, parental education, and family income in explaining these associations. Data stem from the Norwegian cross-sectional 2012 youth@hordaland-survey including 8437 adolescents (53.4% girls). Information on grade point average, school completion, parental education, and family income were retrieved from the National Education Database. Parental work status and family cohesion were assessed by adolescent self-report. Adolescents with at least one unemployed parent had lower grade point averages (3.49 compared with 3.92, P<0.001) and rates of school completion (71.9% compared with 86.6%, P<0.001) compared with adolescents with two working parents. The associations between parental unemployment and both grade point average (b = -0.22, 95% confidence interval -0.32, -0.12) and school completion (odds ratio 0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.46, 0.76) partly attenuated but remained significant when taking family cohesion, parental education, and family income into account. There was a significant interaction between parental unemployment and family cohesion on grade point average, in which the positive association between family cohesion and grade point average was weaker for adolescents with unemployed parents. Adolescents with parents outside of the workforce are at higher risk of poorer educational outcomes than peers with working parents. Combined with the positive associations between parental education, family cohesion, family income, and educational outcomes, this underscores the importance of parents for adolescent educational outcomes, and suggests that parents and the family situation should be considered when providing academic support for adolescents who struggle in upper secondary school.

Centralized Database Access: Transformer Framework and LLM/Chatbot Integration-Based Hybrid Model

This paper addresses the challenges associated with the centralized storage of educational materials in the context of a fragmented and disparate database. In response to the increasing demands of modern education, efficient and accessible retrieval of materials for educators and students is essential.

This integration ensures precise responses drawn from a comprehensive educational materials database. The model architecture uses mathematically defined algorithms for precise functions that enable deep text processing through advanced word embedding methods. This approach improves accuracy in natural language processing and ensures both high efficiency and adaptability. Therefore, this paper not only provides a technical solution to a prevalent problem but also highlights the potential for the continued development and integration of emerging technologies in education. The aim is to create a more efficient, transparent, and accessible educational environment. The importance of this research lies in its ability to streamline material access, benefiting the global scientific community and contributing to the continuous advancement of educational technology.

Plan for innovation and educational technologies: a bibliographic analysis of the connected education innovation program

The use of digital technologies in education is clearly expanding, a fact observed in the government's concern to create public policies in this area. This present have aims to report on the Connected Innovation Program. As a methodology, a bibliographical review was chosen, which is a way to collect documentary data about the program under study. The bibliographic survey was carried out in the Ministry of Education database and on the program's website. Considering the emerging context of society marked by the passage of a pandemic, the need to implement digital resources as well as empower teachers to fully use the tools, the public authorities are concerned about bringing possibilities for advancement in education supported by technological development. Today's traditional ways of teaching no longer have meaning for a generation plugged into social networks, specialists in entertainment games, followers of influential personalities on the internet. The Connected Innovation Program arises from this reality and seeks to support teachers and students in the saga of innovative teaching and meaningful learning.
