Abstract Background It is essential to address food sustainability (FS) within the school community to enhance both public and environmental health. In Portugal, in the scope of AML Alimenta, teachers’ training on FS was identified as a priority. Therefore, local partners along with academia developed, implemented, monitored, and evaluated the SustentAÇÃO. Objectives SustentAÇÃO aimed to empower school teachers in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area to teach students between 6 and 14 years old on FS. The program consisted of 10 hours of asynchronous online learning (MoodleTM), structured in 4 modules, and 10 hours of autonomous learning (5 students’ educational sessions), offering autonomy and flexible time management. The contents were adapted for different age groups. The teacher’s performance was monitored and evaluated continuously. A process evaluation was conducted for both teachers and students. Results Of the 79 teachers enrolled, 47% completed the program. Teachers’ performance (0-20) on the 4 evaluation questionnaires was on average 17,9±3,13. Most teachers found the program benefited their work (94%) and considered it essential for enhancing student’s knowledge (98%). Considering overall satisfaction, 85% of teachers were satisfied or very satisfied with the training and 91% would recommend it to their colleagues. Additionally, 86% of students enjoyed the activities delivered, 76% considered that they were wasting less food, and 78% believed they had improved their ability to make healthier and more sustainable food choices. Conclusions Through a collaborative work between local partners and academia, an innovative e-learning training programme on FS was developed, implemented, monitored, and evaluated, responding to the local needs identified. SustentAÇÃO complies with national education guidelines and contributes to the sustainable development goals agenda. Key messages • SustentAÇÃO E-learning training highlights the importance of collaborative work, based on an initial assessment to target local needs. • SustentAÇÃO E-learning training improve teachers’ knowledge on FS and benefit their students.

Level of Depression among Health Students at Al-Quds University

Background Students' physical and psychological well-being, particularly with a focus on depression, is a significant public health concern. Objective This study aims to explore the level of depression among health students at Al-Quds University. Methods In this assay, a cross-sectional study using a self-reporting questionnaire was conducted. To evaluate the degree of depression among students, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) was used. The sample comprised 357 students from Al-Quds University in the West Bank. Results The results of the study showed that depression impacted 40.3% of the subjects. Of these, 32% experienced moderate to severe depression symptoms, 24% had thoughts or wishes related to suicide, and 6.7% believed that death was the answer to their issues. The findings demonstrated that there were statistically significant variations in depression based on gender, age, study year, study geographical area, place of residence, level of religiosity, and thoughts of death (p < 0.05). Conclusion To protect their well-being, mental health professionals should advise students to seek assistance and therapy. University administrators should assist students in learning time management and stress-reduction strategies so they can finish their assignments and fulfill other course obligations.

Exploring self-directed learning readiness and related factors: the role of time management skills in nursing students

BackgroundPrevious studies have reported varying levels of self-directed learning readiness and time management skills among nursing students, and the relationship between these two skills has not been extensively explored. Consequently, this study aimed to assess self-directed learning readiness and its influencing factors, with a specific emphasis on the role of time management skills among nursing students.MethodsThis cross-sectional study involved the participation of 110 undergraduate nursing students who were conveniently recruited for the research. The data collection tools included a demographic information form, Fisher’s Self-Directed Learning Readiness questionnaire, and the Time Management Inventory developed by Britton and Tesser. The collected data were analyzed using STATA-14 statistical software.ResultsThe findings revealed that 96.4% of the nursing students demonstrated readiness for self-directed learning. The mean overall score for self-directed learning readiness was 162.3 ± 6.1 out of 200, indicating a relatively high level of readiness. The mean score for time management skills was 98.1 ± 5.0 out of 135, suggesting satisfactory proficiency in this area. In terms of the relationship between self-directed learning readiness and its associated factors, time management skills, academic probation history, grade point average, place of residence, and level of interest in the field of study collectively accounted for 9.2% of the variance in self-directed learning readiness. Among these factors, academic probation history, grade point average, and place of residence emerged as statistically significant predictors (P < 0.05).ConclusionsThe study findings indicate that the level of self-directed learning readiness and time management skills among the nursing students were considered acceptable. Academic probation history, grade point average, and place of residence emerged as significant predictors of self-directed learning readiness. These results highlight the importance of considering students’ academic background and living conditions to effectively enhance their level of self-directed learning readiness. Further research is recommended to explore additional factors that may influence self-directed learning readiness among nursing students.

Self-regulated learning processes of advanced musicians: A PRISMA review

This systematic review aimed to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the current state of empirical research in self-regulated learning (SRL) and music, investigating learning strategies planned and employed by advanced musicians and evidence to support the benefits of SRL training for this population. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, we initially identified 3323 records related to our search, spanning the period from 2001 to 2023. Inclusion criteria consisted of peer-reviewed empirical articles reporting studies involving the participation of advanced (i.e., undergraduate and postgraduate student and professional) musicians using Zimmerman’s cyclical model of SRL and published in English, Spanish, Portuguese, or French. Forty-eight articles met all the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. We divided them into three types: reports of observational studies, descriptive-correlational, and intervention studies. We discuss the findings according to the three phases of Zimmerman’s cyclical model: forethought, performance/volitional control, and self-reflection, including the processes of goal setting, selection and adaptation of learning strategies, help seeking, time management, and self-evaluation and adaptation. Our analysis identified trends in the behavior of advanced musicians, particularly regarding practice quantity and musical achievement. Suggestions for future research indicate the need to invest in the training of instrumental and vocal teachers, so that they become familiar with SRL learning strategies that they can pass on to their students.

Learning Quality, Time Management and Social Support on Student Academic Achievement

This study aims to determine the effect of learning quality, time management and social support on the academic achievement of postgraduate students of UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. The method used in analysing research data is descriptive quantitative with a sample of 80 students. The sampling technique used is Non Probability Sampling technique. The results showed the Wald test results with a significance value of learning quality of 0.000 and social support of 0.021 smaller than the value of the error rate of 0.05. While time management with a significance value of 0.348 is greater than the error rate value of 0.05, meaning that time management has no correlation and has no significant effect on student academic achievement. The odds ratio value of learning quality (X1) is 18.283, this indicates that learning quality has an influence of 18.283 times greater on student academic achievement. Then the Odds ratio value of social support (X3) is 3.061, this shows that the effect of social support on student academic achievement is 3.061 times greater than if there is no social support. Meanwhile, variable (X2), namely time management, has no influence on student academic achievement. This is caused by students who do not have self-management skills or the ability to manage time. The implications of learning quality can be seen from students' understanding of the material presented, honing the courage to express opinions, increasing confidence in answering or asking questions and mental readiness and competence. The implication of social support is to reduce student stress and psychological pressure that can affect their academic performance.

Effectiveness of Teacher Supervision Practices in the Implementation of the Early Years Education Program

Early Years Education (EYE) is the crucial stage in the child’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development. This study, therefore, sought to evaluate the effectiveness of teacher supervision practices in the implementation of the EYE program in the Khwisero Sub-county. The study which targeted key education stakeholders in EYE adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. Stratified random sampling and purposive sampling were used to select 10 schools, 10 head teachers, 10 teachers in charge, 1 program officer, 4 ward representatives and 50 assistant teachers. The questionnaire, interview guide and document analysis guide were used for data collection. Frequency of supervision is key to the effectiveness of teacher supervision practices because it affects the adequacy of teaching resources, the development of necessary learning skills, and effective time management. From the findings, it was noted that there are various areas of teacher supervision, which are not adequately addressed as indicated by some respondents, including teaching and learning resources, time management and teacher professional records. By implementing effective supervisory practices, schools can create an environment that supports high-quality education and fosters continuous improvement in learning outcomes. Preparedness ensures that teachers have the necessary skills, resources, and time management capabilities, hence directly influencing the adequacy of teaching resources, learning skills, and time management. Generally, respondents thought that supervisory practices in place were effective, though the degree or intensity of effectiveness varied. Therefore, the study recommended that Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) stakeholders support the supervision initiatives in place for effective curriculum implementation of the EYE program.

Network Analytics to Unveil Links of Learning Strategies, Time Management, and Academic Performance in a Flipped Classroom

Preparatory learning tasks are considered critical for student success in flipped classroom courses. However, less is known regarding which learning strategies students use and when they use those strategies in a flipped classroom course. In this study, we aimed to address this research gap. In particular, we investigated mutual connections between learning strategies and time management, and their combined effects on students’ performance in flipped classrooms. To this end, we harnessed a network analytic approach based on epistemic network analysis (ENA) to analyze student trace data collected in an undergraduate engineering course (N = 290) with a flipped classroom design. Our findings suggest that high-performing students effectively used their study time and enacted learning strategies mainly linked to formative and summative assessment tasks. The students in the low-performing group enacted less diverse learning strategies and typically focused on video watching. We discuss several implications for research and instructional practice.

Impact of work life balance in mental health

The study may enhance your mental health by keeping a healthy work-life balance by establishing clear priorities, setting realistic plans and routines, and learning time management skills. To achieve work-life harmony, you must do more than simply pare down your to-do list. The benefits of a well-balanced schedule are not limited to people who have a lot of work to do; in fact, the better mental health that comes from a work-life balance may lead to improved productivity.If you want to keep a good work-life balance, you need to know what that looks like for you, given your unique set of circumstances. Many individuals underestimate the significance of work-life balance because they have erroneous or no perceptions of what it may or should look like.WORK-LIFE BALANCEWork-life balance seems to be the capacity of a person to meet their family and work obligations, as well as other commitments and activities undertaken outside of work hours and during their leisure time. In order to maintain a healthy work-life balance, you don't have to divide time equally between work and personal pursuits. An individual's capacity to retain happiness in both their personal and professional lives while also managing their time and efforts efficiently is known as ‘work-life balance.’

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the factors influencing the dropout rate at Dhawalagiri Multiple Campus. Similarly, it aims to explore the reasons behind students' dropouts. A survey research design was used to describe the dropout rate. 26 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. Telephone, Messenger, Viber, and WhatsApp interviews were also used for collecting the required information. Assistant campus chiefs, department heads, and the chairperson of the Free Student Union's views were interviewed. This study is based on factors associated with dropout, such as age, gender, marital status, position in the number of siblings, health problems, family environment, fulfilled expectations, family and personal obligations, motivation in relation to the teaching and learning process, self-regulation, and time management. Beside these, family, community, college, and national education policies This study found that there are student-related indicators, campus-related indicators, family-related indicators, and socio-economic and cultural-related indicators. There are several reasons for dropping out of DMC. The main reasons for dropout, as explored by family-related indicators, were a lack of financial support from home and different family problems. The student-related indicators were their low academic achievement in examinations, irregularity in class, and willingness to go abroad; the campus-related indicators were a lack of academic support, feedback, motivation, and encouragement from teachers, a delay in exam results, and problems with institutional information systems. The implication of this study is to solve the problem of dropouts in the development of higher education programs in Nepal. This article will be helpful for academia, researchers, and planners.

Predicting student-teacher self-directed learning using intrinsic and extrinsic factors: a Theory of Planned Behavior adoption.

This study set out to develop a model that illustrates the causal relationship between factors influencing Thai student-teacher self-directed learning (SDL). To achieve this, the authors analyzed and applied the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to investigate the role of family support, teacher support, friend support, fellow students, and the university in influencing SDL. The research used a sample of 468 student-teachers from five academic majors randomly selected from the King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) Bachelor of Industrial Education Program during the 2021 academic year. The authors developed a questionnaire which was evaluated from both a panel of experts and a 30 student-teacher pilot test which found that item reliability was acceptable. LISREL 9.10 was used to analyze the data from the study's structural equation model path analysis. The results revealed that all the causal variables in the model positively influenced SDL, explaining the variance of influencing factors on SDL (R2) at 51%. SDL comprised five variables, when ranked in order of importance these were fellow students (FSt), teacher support (TS), family support (FS), friend support (FrS), and their university (Uni). The study also highlighted issues concerning each student-teacher's learning time management ability and their perception of the university's ability/willingness to allow each individual to choose their course, thus enhancing their SDL learning ability skills. It was speculated that some university educators even today perceive SDL as an adult education tool which they perceive is not appropriate at the university level. The authors also felt that for younger student-teachers that the COVID-19 medical emergency limited teacher/student/university interaction, thus contributing to student misconceptions about support availability. This study contributes significantly to the literature by investigating how TPB intrinsic and extrinsic factors impact a university student's self-directed learning.

Improvement of students’ self-directed learning readiness through problem-based English language learning in Korea

The current study investigated how problem-based English language learning influenced Korean secondary students’ self-directed learning readiness (SDLR). Based on the analysis of 78 students’ responses on the pre- and post-surveys, it was revealed that the students experienced significant increases in their SDLR in 18 out of 46 items, and many were related to learning strategy management, examination management, and time management. While male students showed an increase in five items, female students revealed an increase in 19 items, mostly related to learning strategy management, stress management, and assignment management. In the analysis of the relative significance of the change, the females revealed a more meaningful increase of their SDLR in seven items compared to the males. The items were focused on assignment management, closely related to the qualities for problem-based learning (PBL). These outcomes imply that PBL-based English language lessons can be effective for developing Korean secondary students’ SDLR. Additionally, as females’ SDLR can be more extensively, promptly, and significantly improved by PBL than that of males, more precise planning and constant application of PBL seem necessary when organizing PBL-based English lessons for male students.
