Student self-regulated learning in teacher professional vision: Results from combining student self-reports, teacher ratings, and mobile eye tracking in the high school classroom

Teacher professional vision as a concept is gaining importance in research on teaching, and recently models for studying teacher professional vision and student self-regulated learning (SRL) have been proposed. There are interview and video intervention studies investigating teacher professional vision for SRL, but no real-life classroom research so far. This study investigated the role of student SRL behaviour, as it was reported by students themselves and teachers, in teacher attention distribution as part of teacher professional vision. Ten teachers and their 158 students at high school level in Lithuania took part in the research. The first step of the study resulted in identifying four student SRL-profiles, which differed based on student level of SRL and the extent to which teacher and student assessments coincided: mixed lower-regulated, mixed higher-regulated, systematic lower-regulated, systematic higher-regulated. The profiles demonstrated only a partial overlap in teacher and student judgement of student SRL. The second step of the study explored whether scores of students’ SRL from student and teacher reports were related to teachers’ distribution of visual attention in one lesson. The results showed that only one teacher rating scale of student information-seeking behaviour had a slight correlation with teacher attention. The results imply rather bottom-up trends in teacher attention to students in the classroom when it comes to SRL. Besides, the study results highlight the not directly observable nature of SRL processes and imply a difficulty for teachers to assess student SRL.

Teachers' Perceptions of Research Culturalization in Elementary Schools

Research culture is fundamental in developing educational practices in schools that are based on proven knowledge and data. Culturalization at the elementary school level is the foundation for developing a research culture at the higher school level. Teachers' perceptions can provide benchmarks for research culturalization practices in schools as the ultimate base of a research-based mindset. This research aims to analyze research culturalization as perceived by teachers in elementary schools. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a questionnaire that measures teachers' perception towards fifteen aspects of research Culturalization. Data analysis from 379 teachers of local elementary schools shows that: (1) the percentage of teachers' perceptions regarding knowledge of research culture is 57% just starting; (2) the percentage of teacher perceptions related to understanding is 55% just starting; and (3) the percentage of teacher perceptions related to practice is 69% just starting. These results indicate that the culturalization of research based on teacher perceptions is at a will-do level regarding knowledge, understanding, and practice indicators. Teachers' perceptions are alike in knowledge and understanding and higher in practice. These findings conclude an awareness and enthusiasm of research culturalization significance that should be supported by all stakeholders involved, such as the government, teachers, leaders, and other educators involved in the schools. These findings also provide challenges for policies and practices that align with research culturalization indicators in elementary schools.

Paradigma Penilaian Pembelajaran PAI pada Kurikulum KTSP dan Kurikulum Merdeka untuk Tingkat SMP

This research examines the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning assessment paradigm in the Education Unit Level Curriculum (KTSP) and the Merdeka Curriculum at the Junior High School (SMP) level. The main purpose of this assessment is to measure the achievement of learning objectives, assess the effectiveness of teaching, and evaluate the suitability between the learning approach and the curriculum used. The move from the KTSP Curriculum to the Independent Curriculum often creates challenges, especially for schools that have not yet gone through the 2013 Curriculum (K-13). The KTSP curriculum uses traditional assessment methods such as written exams and formative tests, while the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes a holistic approach that includes cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. This research identified three main aspects that were evaluated: achievement of learning objectives, teaching effectiveness, and suitability of learning approaches to the curriculum. The assessment instruments used include written tests, class observations, questionnaires, and student portfolios. The assessment stages include planning, implementation, data analysis, decision making, feedback, follow-up, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. Through a comprehensive and continuous assessment approach, it is hoped that the quality of PAI learning in junior high schools can be improved in line with the demands of the times and students' needs.

Optimizing Democratic Learning: Exploring the Efficacy of Demonstrative Methods Among Middle School Students

This research aims to evaluate the effect of implementing the demonstration learning method on improving student learning outcomes in Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) learning in class VII of SMP Negeri 1 Yogyakarta.

Early impact of a new food store intervention on health-related outcomes

This study investigated the early impact of a community-based food intervention, the Good Food Junction (GFJ), a full-service grocery store (September 2012 – January 2016) in a former food desert in Saskatoon, Canada. The hypothesis tested was that frequent shopping at the GFJ improved food security and selected health-related outcomes among shoppers, and the impact was moderated by socioeconomic factors. Longitudinal data were collected from 156 GFJ shoppers, on three occasions: 12-, 18-, and 24-months post-opening. Participants were grouped into three categories based on the frequency of shopping at the GFJ: low, moderate, and high. A generalized estimating equations approach was used for model building; moderating effects were tested. Participants were predominantly female, Indigenous, low-income, and had high school or some post-secondary education. The GFJ use was associated with household food security (OR for high and moderate frequency shoppers reporting less than a high school education were 1.81 and 1.06, respectively), and mental health (OR for high and moderate frequency shoppers reporting high income were 2.82 and 0.87, respectively) exhibiting a dose-response relationship, and indicated that these outcomes were significantly moderated by participants’ socioeconomic factors. Shopping at the GFJ had a positive effect on food security and mental health, but to varying levels for those with low incomes, with less than high school or high school or better levels of education.

Building and Maintaining an Engineering Identity: How Engineering Students Navigate Community College Stigma Prior to Transfer

ABSTRACT This research brief outlines a phenomenological study which sought to understand how community college students made sense of their engineering identity as well as explore how outsider perceptions of community college attendance and transfer influenced their identities. The study used the Community College Stigmatization Model (CCSM) and elements of engineering identity theory to understand student experiences. Students shared how societal stigma and interactions with faculty, staff, and students at the high school and university levels complicated their ability to build strong engineering identities. However, they also described resistance against stigmatization and marginalization as community college engineering students and took actions to enhance their engineering identities. This study highlights the persistent nature of stigma and the need to create better partnerships and support systems as well as foster stigma resistance among community college engineering students.

IMPLEMENTATION OF TPACK-BASED LEARNING DESIGN ON THE ROTATING OBJECT CONCEPT

This study aims to implement a learning design based on technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) on the concept of rotating object. The research subjects were students of class XII IPA SMAK Santo Bonaventura Madiun. The data were obtained from observations and student test results in completing the concept of rotating object. This research is a development research. Mathematics is still considered a difficult subject by some students. For elementary and middle school level mathematics, it is still possible to deliver it based on students' experiences in everyday life. For the senior high school level, the concept of rotating object is difficult to imagine because it requires a higher understanding. Therefore, it is necessary to design learning that can provide direct experience to students. TPACK is learning that uses a combined application of an education system that prioritizes technology and certain applications (content) in learning. In implementing TPACK-based learning, there are several things to pay attention to, namely aspects of pedagogy, content, and technology. The findings of this study indicate an increase in student learning outcomes in the rotating object concept
