The Role of Nature Education in Developing Student Character in Building an Environmentally Caring Generation

This study aims to explore the role of nature education in the development of students' character and its impact on environmental concerns. In the face of urgent environmental challenges, such as climate change and declining biodiversity, education is key to forming a generation that cares about the environment. To achieve this goal, the study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, which collects and analyzes a variety of relevant related studies. This method includes the identification, evaluation, and synthesis of previous research, so as to uncover emerging patterns and themes in the context of nature education. The results of the study showed that nature education significantly increased students' ecological awareness. Active involvement in outdoor activities—such as tree planting, beach cleanups, and conservation projects—encourages students to adopt eco-friendly behaviors. Through hands-on experience, students not only gain theoretical knowledge, but also build an empathetic and responsible attitude towards environmental sustainability. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating nature education in the curriculum, which not only shapes the character of students, but also prepares them to become responsible leaders in efforts to safeguard and preserve the environment. With this approach, it is hoped that future generations can be more active in overcoming global environmental challenges.

The benefits of transformational leadership for addressing workplace emotions after COVID-19 at a large multi-campus university

The COVID-19 pandemic presented a series of challenges to organizations. Among those that successfully continued operating, the subsequent recovery period catalyzed pressure to redefine work structure after social distancing restrictions lifted. Here, we observed the benefits of transformational leadership in this historically unique context of organizational distress by applying an adjusted version of Ashkanasy and Dorris’s (Ashkanasy and Dorris in Annu Rev Organ Psych Organ Behav 4:67–90, 2017) framework for workplace emotions to a large, multi-campus university. We quantitatively content-analyzed semi-structured interviews of more than 300 divisional leaders and their staff from across the organization. Interviews occurred in the months following the first semester of continuous in-person service delivery, when most employees returned to working in employer-operated space. Despite disproportionate emphasis on negative and self-focused emotions, negative emotions clustered in individuals’ empathic recognition of others’ emotions; though efforts to regulate those emotions proved scant. Positive emotions primarily emerged in response to local leadership efforts to mitigate the negative emotions of students, staff, and faculty. This data pattern suggests that individuals experienced negative emotions, recognized others’ negative emotions, and appreciated leaders’ interventions to ameliorate those negative emotions. Strategies reminiscent of transformational leadership therefore productively addressed the negative impact of workplace stress imposed by the pandemic, helping to facilitate compliance and enthusiasm with return-to-work efforts. The findings thus illustrate how a transformational style of leadership can address individuals’ negative experiences during a period of pronounced existential stress.

A System Dynamics Model of Organizational Resilience

AbstractResilience is the ability to avoid, withstand, and recover from adversity. In this paper, we examine organizational resilience using a case study of an organization that suffers from a series of scandals that lead to problems with its reputation as an inclusive organization, which results in difficulties in recruiting and retaining employees. We suggest some policies involving leadership efforts to change the culture in the organization and thereby restore its reputation. Based on the results of a System Dynamics Model that mixes quantitative and qualitative measures, we find that changing organizational culture is difficult. There can be inertia and long delays before the leadership sees results in improved recruiting and retention statistics.

Edukasi Upaya Pencegahan Demam Berdarah Dengue di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Tanjung Karang

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is one of the most common health problems in society which causes various health problems. This disease is caused by the bite of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito which transmits the dengue virus. In the Tanjung Karang Community Health Center working area, 96 residents in the last 2 years have been affected by dengue fever. The aim of implementing this community service is to provide education to people who have been affected by dengue fever so that they have a higher level of knowledge in efforts to prevent dengue fever. This community service program is implemented using the Asset Based Community Development method. The population in this study were all residents who had experienced dengue fever in the Tanjung Karang Community Health Center working area. The total number of dengue fever cases in the Tanjung Karang Community Health Center working area from 6 sub-districts, namely from January 2021 to August 2022, was 96 people. Then it was entered into the Slovin formula with an error rate of 0.05 and the result was 77.41, so the researchers took 77 people as respondents. Education can increase knowledge about dengue prevention efforts in the community to knowledge that was previously quite good. It is hoped that the community will play an active role in carrying out environmental cleanliness, especially in carrying out the eradication of mosquito nests in order to reduce as little as possible the opportunity for mosquitoes to nest and breed by carrying out draining, closing water reservoirs both outside the house and inside the house and burning used items. Communities who have higher knowledge can be empowered as leaders in efforts to prevent DHF.

All Dressed Up With No Place to Go? National Board Certification and Teacher Leadership

Purpose: Teacher leadership distinguishes, implicitly or explicitly, among teachers based on their expertise, but the notion of teaching expertise is contested, even among educators. Despite the potential for expert teachers to positively influence their colleagues’ practices, we know little about the supports and obstacles to expert teacher leadership. This study examines the ways that the leadership of a particular group of expert teachers—National-Board-certified teachers—is understood and enacted in schools. Methods: Survey data from staff in six elementary schools were used to analyze Board-certified teachers’ centrality in their schools’ work-related social networks. Survey results were used to select 26 participants for semistructured interviews focused on their understandings of the relationships between teaching expertise, Board certification, and leadership, which were analyzed using alternating rounds of open and closed coding. Findings: Board-certified teachers were more central to their schools’ networks than non-Board-certified teachers, although Board-certified teachers interacted with one another more than with non-Board-certified teachers. Board-certified teachers were seen as having expanded influence beyond their classrooms, which some saw as supporting their leadership, but others saw as disconnected from, or even undermining, their leadership. Implications for Research and Practice: Teacher leadership requires a supporting infrastructure in the form of leadership positions, routines, and tools that align with leaders’ expertise. Developing a shared understanding of teaching expertise is key to Board-certified teacher leadership, as well as other teacher leadership efforts.

OCB Saints and OCB Sinners in Schools: Effects of Principals’ Leadership Styles on Teachers’ Motivation by OCB Levels

Purpose This study investigated the relationships between leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and passive) and teachers’ autonomous motivation (intrinsic and identified) in teachers with high and low levels of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Design/Approach/Methods In a sample of 651 teachers from Israeli schools, several groups were identified: 107 teachers with the highest OCB scores (saints), 104 teachers with the lowest OCB scores (sinners), and 440 teachers with OCB scores in the middle range. Findings Regression analysis indicated that the intrinsic motivation of OCB saints was significantly predicted by passive leadership style, whereas that of the OCB norm by transformational leadership style. The analysis further indicated that the identified motivation of OCB sinners was significantly predicted by transactional leadership style, whereas that of the OCB norm by transformational leadership style. Originality/Value The results challenge the assumption of a one-size-fits-all approach to “effective” principals’ leadership styles and suggest that to cultivate teachers’ autonomous motivation they should be treated differently in leadership efforts. The implications of the study may be useful in improving school effectiveness and designing training programs for school leaders to enhance their leadership skills.

Interplay between Organizational Learning and Departmental Performance: Implications for Change in Ethiopian Public Research Universities

Literacy abilities are crucial for economic progress and community welfare, with higher education recognizing them as vital for problem-solving, critical thinking, continuous learning, and effective functioning for both experienced educators and the new student cohorts. The study examined the interplay between organizational learning and departmental performance, and its implications for changes in Ethiopian Public Research Universities. The researchers used the framework that focuses on seven distinct dimensions of organization learning (OL) namely continuous learning, inquiry and dialogue, collective and collaborative efforts of organizational members, empowerment, embedded system, system connection and strategic leadership and departmental performance (DP) which consists of three dimensions teaching-learning, research and community services. The researchers employed embedded mixed methods design (QUAN + qual) to examine the interplay between organizational learning (OL) and departmental performance (DP). The researchers selected four public research universities using simple random sampling technique. Then, they selected 1,176 respondents (969 instructors and 207 department heads) from target population using simple random sampling technique. The researchers adapted standardized questionnaires and collected quantitative data using questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean standard deviation), and inferential statistics (multiple correlations, multiple regressions structural equation modeling). Qualitative data was collected using semi-structured interview from 14 key informants who were selected using the purposive sampling technique based on their rich lived experiences of teaching-learning, research and leadership in higher education institutions. The qualitative data was thematically analyzed. The finding of the study showed that the structural equation model fit to the data. It was also found that the correlations between the different dimensions of organizational learning practices and departmental performance ranged between low and moderate. There were positive significant and moderate correlations between each dimension of organizational learning and departmental performance. The organizational dimensions accounted the largest cumulative variance to departmental performance dimensions; research (R2 = 40.70%; β =.638, p.001); community service (R2 = 33.50%; β =.579, p.001) and teaching-learning (R2 = 24.60%; β =.496, p .001). The study showed that the presence of formal and informal organizational learning cultures in universities enhance departmental performances. Therefore, the Ethiopian public research universities should create effective organizational learning systems to improve departmental performances.

112 Flight Tracker: A REDCap Tool to Streamline Career Development Grant Preparation and Reporting

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Compiling information about characteristics and progress of scholars is required for career development applications and progress reports. The range of information is substantial, and preparation is onerous. We sought to create a tool to facilitate gathering key data about trainees and mentors who participate in programs like NIH K- and T-awards. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using the REDCap platform, we developed forms and surveys to support intake of applicants, updates from scholars, and information about their participation in activities and use of resources. We deployed application programming interfaces (APIs) to automate capture of publicly available data about publications, impact metrics, and federal grant funding. Similar tools capture descriptions of mentor expertise including grant funding, prior trainees, and publications with mentees We also built modules to 1) allow connection to institutional grant and contract data to capture foundation and other funding; 2) pre-populate follow-up surveys to update information about career trajectories with minimal scholar effort; and 3) support mentee-mentor agreements as living documents. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: After a pilot period at our institution, we disseminated Flight Tracker to more than 50 academic institutions, most of whom are CTSA hubs. They track scholars in TL1/T32s, KL2/K12s, MSTP programs, and academic groups. Beyond federal reporting, uses now include publication impact factors (relative citation ratios, Altmetrics scores), grant funding of groups, maps of network relationships among investigators, scholar receipt of internal pilot awards, and statistics about transition to independence and time-to-promotion. Scholars can be separated into smaller cohorts by demographics, training dates, and funding dates. Over 34,000 scholars are tracked nationally among over 260 programs. Having structured data supports program evaluation, continuous improvements, and documents program strengths. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We informally estimate Flight Tracker reduces staff and leadership effort in preparation of program data by 75%, preserving time to focus on service to scholars. Ready access to data over time and within and across institutions creates new opportunities for collaborative data analysis to support evidence-based career development.

Characteristics of school effectiveness at the level of colleges of education in Ghana

PurposeSchool effectiveness has attracted some currency in educational research globally since the 1960s though such studies mostly point to the efforts of principal leadership as the basis for promoting effective schools. However, in the case of Ghana, there is a lack of research conducted in the area, and due to that, this study sought to explore internal public perspectives of what constitutes school effectiveness in the Colleges of Education in the Upper East Region of Ghana.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed the convergent parallel mixed-method design otherwise called concurrent mixed-method design. The population for the study comprised second and third-year students, tutors and leadership of the colleges. In total, 308 respondents constituted the sample size. The breakdown is 257 students in all, 41 tutors and 10 leaders of the colleges. Two instruments, namely, an in-depth interview guide and a questionnaire were used to elicit responses to address the object of this study.FindingsThe study revealed that the characteristics of effective schools include the high academic performance of students and a good show of disciplined behavior by both students and staff in the colleges among others.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, during the search for studies conducted on school effectiveness, there is no scientific study done in Ghana highlighting the attributes of effective educational institutions. Most of the studies conducted in the area of educational studies only focused on principal leadership, educational access, participation and equity at the level of pre-tertiary institutions.

Highlighting models of Indigenous leadership and self-governance for COVID-19 vaccination programmes

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted Indigenous populations worldwide placing much importance on rapid and equitable vaccination. Nevertheless, many Indigenous communities have reported high vaccine hesitancy and low COVID-19 vaccine uptake. This may be attributed to various factors, including a lack of support for Indigenous leadership efforts to protect their communities and the pervasive infodemic targeting First Nations Peoples. In August 2022, we hosted an international symposium to bring together Indigenous and non-Indigenous community leaders, clinicians, and researchers to discuss pandemic experiences and lessons learnt. This commentary highlights examples of harnessing Indigenous leadership and self-governance to design and deliver tailored community-based and culturally appropriate COVID-19 vaccination programmes that improved vaccine uptake in Australia and Canada. These case studies demonstrate that Indigenous social-governance systems need to be valued, respected, and upheld if we are to make meaningful efforts to address health inequities among Indigenous communities during future pandemics.

Analisis Kepemimpinan Kepala Desa dalam Meningkatkan Produktivitas Kerja Aparatur Pemerintah di Desa Marisa Utara Kecamatan Marisa Kabupaten Pohuwato
