WHO LEADS THE PACK? PROFILING SCHOOL LEADERS’ DEMOGRAPHIC BACKGROUNDS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP PRACTICES IN GHANAIAN PUBLIC BASIC SCHOOLS

The extent to which demographic characteristics of educational heads differentiate their instructional leadership practices has been a contentious matter for several decades. The aim of this study was to investigate the instructional leadership practices of school heads as well as examine the extent to which headteachers’ gender, professional qualification, and work experience differentiated their instructional leadership practices in public basic schools in Ghana. This was a quantitative study underpinned by the positivist paradigm. The study employed the descriptive survey research design where 127 headteachers and 643 teachers were selected through census and proportionate stratified random sampling techniques respectively. The Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) was adapted from Hallinger and Murphys (1985) and used to collect numerical data for the study which was analysed using descriptive statistics like mean and standard deviation as well as inferential statistics including independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed that defining school mission dimension of instructional leadership practice was most prevalent among the headteachers as compared to managing the instructional programme and protecting school climate respectively. Additionally, the findings established that gender accounted for differences among headteachers in promoting a positive school climate where male headteachers rated higher than their female peers. Furthermore, the study established that work experience of the headteachers led to significant differences in defining school mission, managing instructional programme, promoting a positive school climate as well as the overall instructional leadership practice. Therefore, the study concluded that headteachers’ gender matters in promoting a positive climate in the schools while the work experience of the headteachers is a determinant of differences in their instructional leadership practices in the schools. Based on these findings, the study recommended that Ghana Education Service through the Regional and District Directorates of Education should liaise with instructional leadership specialists to organise in-service and refresher training programmes for headteachers on instructional leadership practices so as to sustain, improve, and intensify its practice in public basic schools.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0841/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The landscape of education has experienced significant changes as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Central to the recent developments is the increasing concerns related to the levels of student satisfaction and performance in Mathematics within the context of online learning. This study seeks to fill the gaps in existing research literature on how mathematics is taught online during the pandemic. In particular, the goal of this research was to investigate the relationship between students' perceived satisfaction and reported academic performance in a Mathematics online class and suggest important satisfaction factors to improve student online learning experiences. The study was a descriptive research design utilizing mixed methods, and the data were collected from a volunteer sample of ???? = 153 respondents, composed of senior high school students from three private schools, through an adapted online survey instrument. Results showed that the association between satisfaction and performance was significant and positively correlated. Furthermore, there was a low but positive significant correlation between satisfaction with their performance. Regardless of their performance levels, students were generally satisfied with online learning. Students, however, pointed out three (3) additional factors that affect their satisfaction – flexible and considerate task management, effective communication and subject mastery in teaching; and accessibility and clarity of educational resources. To improve online learning, these additional factors are essential to have a high level of satisfaction and performance in online learning.

The Impact of Educational Informatics on School Management Decision-Making in the Context of Big Data

In the domain of private education, particularly vocational education, school management encounters a complex and variable environment with diverse demands. As the advancement of educational informatics progresses, schools have accumulated a substantial amount of data, including student learning behavior, teaching data, and classroom utilization statistics. However, the efficient utilization of these data for scientific management decisions to enhance the quality of education and resource efficiency presents an urgent challenge. The study of the impacts of educational informatics on school management decision-making is of significant importance. It aids administrators in comprehensively understanding and analyzing the allocation and usage of educational resources, thereby enhancing management efficiency and teaching quality and further promoting the development of educational informatics. Despite some progress in data analysis and decision-making methods within educational informatics, deficiencies remain. Traditional methods often overlook comprehensive considerations of spatiotemporal data, failing to accurately reflect the dynamic changes in educational resources. Existing decision-making methods, predominantly based on single-agent models, lack studies on multi-agent collaborative decision-making, resulting in suboptimal decision outcomes. This study comprises three main components: first, the data modeling of educational informatics based on a spatiotemporal data model; second, an intelligent decision-making framework for school management under a reinforcement learning mechanism; and third, the implementation of an intelligent school management decision-making method based on multi-agent reinforcement learning. Through these investigations, the scientific nature and efficiency of school management are enhanced, providing new ideas and methods for management decision-making in other educational domains.

Delirium care burden of intensive care nurses caring for patients undergoing open-heart surgery: A mixed-method research.

Delirium is an acute confusional state characterized by inattention, cognitive dysfunction and an altered level of consciousness. Delirium causes negative outcomes in patients, and patients with delirium increase the workload of nurses. Therefore, it is important to recognize the challenges and burdens experienced by nurses caring for patients with delirium. To determine the subjective burden experienced by intensive care nurses caring for patients who have undergone open-heart surgery. A mixed-method sequential explanatory design. A non-probability purposive sampling method was used for the quantitative stage. Using OpenEpi, we employed the method of sample calculation with an unknown universe. The sample size of the quantitive study comprised 130 nurses. Quantitative data were collected with Google survey. For gathering qualitative data, online video interviews were conducted with 10 nurses, an interpretive phenomenological approach was used and content analysis was performed. In the quantitative phase, we found that the subjective burden was high. In the qualitative phase, five main themes emerged: difficulty in recognizing delirium, physical burden, emotional burden, burden in care management of patients with delirium and the effect of patients with delirium on other patients. The nurses experienced physical and emotional burden in delirium management and felt lonely while caring for patients with delirium. Because nurses play a key role in the care of patients with delirium, reducing the burden nurses experience when caring for patients with delirium should be considered important in ensuring that this patient population receives adequate care. Delirium patients create a care burden for intensive care nurses. To reduce this burden of care, in-service training in patient management and bedside teaching support should be provided to nurses. Furthermore, the use of a valid scale to diagnose delirium should be integrated into health policies. Nurses should not be left alone in the management of delirium. Managing delirium patients with a team including physicians, nurses and professionals from other health disciplines will ensure that patients receive high-quality care, thereby reducing the care burden of nurses.

Benchmarks of New Teaching Modalities and Instructional Management in Physical Education in Selected Universities in Asia

The Philippines' education system is still undergoing significant change as it adopts innovative strategies to continue offering high-quality instruction in the face of the pandemic. The COVID-19 epidemic has caused havoc on the economy, exacerbating poverty, undermining the health care system, altering people's lives from the traditional to the new normal, and particularly affecting the education sector. Digital technology is currently being used to improve instructional management and teaching modalities. It will also analyze the practices of colleges and universities across selected Asian countries. This study utilized the mixed method approach, specifically the explanatory mixed method by Creswell (2013). The result shows that blended and flexible teaching modalities are being utilized by physical education teachers across selected Asian countries. It also showed that there is a strong correlation between the variables in teaching modality, such as functionality, accessibility, and efficiency, and the instructional management that includes curriculum, assessment, and evaluation. Moreover, it is also revealed that there are still some concerns that they need to address, including their accessibility whenever and wherever possible and the submission and checking of outputs using the existing teaching modalities. Based on the results of the study, the researcher developed the PEFLEX PLUS teaching modality that will strengthen the best practices and address the concerns of physical education teachers. This teaching modality will utilize the three existing modalities, which are blended, flexible, and interactive modular, simultaneously in one teaching session. This will address the needs of the students and their concerns about how to access quality physical education through the use of technology in the teaching and learning process.

Design and implementation of college students’ physical education teaching information management system by data mining technology

This study intends to improve the efficiency of physical education teaching management, accelerate the normal teaching process, and meet the modern management requirements that traditional teaching management methods cannot meet. Based on data mining technology, this study designs a college student physical education teaching information management system, and makes a detailed design of each functional module. The main task of this study is to investigate how to effectively integrate data mining techniques with existing university student physical education teaching databases. Then, this study finds useful data information from massive data information to provide information support for university student physical education teaching. In order to effectively mine the relevant information of the data, the student evaluation module in the system is designed based on decision trees, and the teacher-student related data analysis module in the system is designed based on association rules. The research results indicate that 1039 records and 8205 student records are extracted from the teaching management database as mining objects. Rule 1: The support rate for “a professor's degree is a doctoral degree” is 20.4 %, indicating that there are 20.4 % of records in the teacher database that “the title is a professor and a doctoral degree”; the confidence level of Rule 1 is 78.2 %, indicating that 78.2 % of professors have a doctoral degree. Through the analysis of the rules that evaluate teaching as good, it can be found that the three attributes of professional title, education level, and teaching experience are the most important relevant factors affecting teaching effectiveness. Research has shown that the longer and richer the teaching experience, the stronger the teaching ability. Secondly, the mining results obtained through data mining techniques are analyzed. The maximum difference between the original algorithm's support mining results and the true values is 0.08, while the maximum difference between the improved algorithm's support mining results and the true values is 0.01. Compared to the original algorithm, the improved algorithm's mining results are accurate and effective. The application of data mining ideas in this system has laid a solid foundation for the development of physical education and teaching. Moreover, a three-layer system architecture model is adopted to better adapt to the development of school physical education, which is beneficial for later system maintenance and greatly reduces the work pressure of teachers. The system has been successfully launched and running in universities, and it is in good working condition.

New tools for learning airway management

INTRODUCTION Game-based learning, also called edutainment, has been promoted as an alternative to the unidirectional, passive teaching of traditional medical education. Solving enigmas and problems through creativity and critical thinking, which is encapsulated in ‘escape rooms’, has been adapted to teach medicine as a way to enhance the mental models of proceeding. We considered an educational escape room as an activity to promote teaching and training in airway management, integrating knowledge, technical and nontechnical skills and collaborative teamwork during crisis situations. METHODS No published experience on this topic was found. Therefore, we created an educational escape room focused on airway management. We describe the steps undertaken from the design and development of the escape room process (as part of the curriculum of an international airway course) to the results of a survey completed by the participants at the end of the escape room process. RESULTS Satisfaction with the experience was rated at least 8 points (0 to 10 numerical rating scale) by 80% of the 147 course participants. Two thirds also rated the experience as at least 8 points (0 to 10 Likert scale) as being helpful in improving behaviour in real cases, and enhance organisational teamwork skills. CONCLUSION The airway escape room was feasible for training in airway management. Participants rated it as valuable to gain team competencies. The experience encourages further development and its possible use in other clinical settings.
