Psychological factors enhanced heterogeneous learning interactive graph knowledge tracing for understanding the learning process.

With the rapid expansion of online education, there is a burgeoning interest within the EdTech space to offer tailored learning experiences that cater to individual student's abilities and needs. Within this framework, knowledge tracing tasks have garnered considerable attention. The primary objective of knowledge tracing is to develop a model that assesses a student's proficiency in a particular skill based on their historical performance in exercises, enabling predictions regarding the likelihood of correct responses in future exercises. While existing knowledge tracing models often incorporate information such as students' exercise answering history and skill mastery level, they frequently overlook the students' mental states during the learning process. This paper addresses this gap by introducing a novel psychological factors-enhanced heterogeneous learning interactive graph knowledge tracing model (Psy-KT). This model delineates the interactions among students, exercises, and skills through a heterogeneous graph, supplementing it with four psychological factors that capture students' mental states during the learning process: frustration level, confusion level, concentration level, and boredom level. In the modeling of students' learning processes, we incorporate the forgetting curve and construct relevant cognitive parameters from the features. Additionally, we employ the Item Response Theory (IRT) model to predict students' performance in answering exercises at the subsequent time step. This model not only delves into the psychological aspects of students during the learning process but also integrates the simulation of forgetting, a natural phenomenon in the learning journey. The inclusion of cognitive parameters enhances the description of changes in students' abilities throughout the learning process. This dual focus allows for a more comprehensive understanding of students' learning behaviors while providing a high level of interpretability for the model. Empirical validation of the Psy-KT model is conducted using four publicly available datasets, demonstrating its superior performance in predicting students' future performance. Through rigorous experimentation, the integration of psychological and forgetting factors in the Psy-KT model not only improves predictive accuracy but also enables educators to offer more targeted tutoring and advice, enhancing the overall efficacy of the learning experience.

Generative Artificial Intelligence in the EFL Writing Context: Students' Literacy in Perspective

The birth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential of developing language learners' English as a foreign language (EFL) writing skills; however, there is a substantial need to ensure that these learners are literate of generative AI-based tools and their potential to enhance learning writing skills. Therefore, the study aims to detect language learners' generative AI literacy in learning EFL writing skills. To achieve this purpose, the descriptive-survey method was used; (278) respondents completed a 30-closed item questionnaire and answered three questions in a semi-structured interview. The results showed that language learners’ generative AI tools literacy in the EFL writing context is at a medium level. Also, the study sample’s responses were not affected by their specialization, but by their GPA and mastery level of using generative AI tools in learning EFL writing skills did impact their responses. The analysis of the interviews revolved around three major themes: Challenges, affordance, and suggestions. In light of the findings, recommendations and suggestions are presented.

Podcasts as supplementary tools in enhancing teaching-learning in the 21st century literature from the Philippines and the world

This research aimed to determine the mastery level of learners in 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World before and after the implementation of podcasts. The study titled "Podcasts as Supplementary Tools in Enhancing Teaching-Learning in 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World" is considered a quasi-experimental research design. This design utilizes methods and procedures to collect data in a study structured similarly to an experiment. Specifically, the study employed the one-group pretest-posttest design. This study employed a probability sampling technique. The respondents of the study were Grade 11 students in the academic track of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). They encountered 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World as a subject matter available in the university, which is the only literature-related subject that STEM students are taking. The researchers used a pretest and posttest to collect the quantitative data needed for the study. After collecting data from the respondents, the researchers analyzed the quantitative data using statistical methods. The study revealed that the majority of students studying 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World improved their mastery level after using podcasts as supplementary tools in addition to the reading materials provided by their adviser. The students showed engagement and mastery in answering the tests based on the results presented, as there was an increased or significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. It was further found that the podcasts are effective. However, as cited in the scope and limitations of the study, it only investigates the development and evaluation of podcasts as an educational tool, as well as their potential to supplement traditional classroom teaching. Podcasts were not meant to replace lectures but to complement them. Furthermore, the null hypothesis was rejected. Therefore, a significant difference exists between the mastery level of students before and after the implementation of podcasts as supplementary tools. Lastly, this implies that for any instructional materials or teaching approaches to be implemented inside the classroom, their relevance and meaningful connections should be considered to engage the students more and thus promote lifelong learning.

FOSTERING PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AND IGNITING WORK MOTIVATION IN EMPLOYEES: GENDER AS MODERATOR

In today's rapidly evolving work environments, organisations recognize the critical importance of fostering psychological well-being and igniting work motivation among their employees. This study aims to explore the role of gender as a buffering effect in the association between employees’ psychological well-being and its work motivation. The study comprised 385 Malaysian public sector personnel as participants. While psychological well-being and work motivation are universal concerns, gender differences may shape the ways in which individuals perceive and respond to various organisational strategies and practices aimed at enhancing these outcomes. The study's results reveal a significant relationship between psychological well-being and employees' motivation, indicating that individuals with higher levels of environmental mastery exhibit greater drive and enhanced performance in the workplace. Interestingly, the study finds that female employees tend to have slightly lower levels of motivation compared to their male counterparts, although the difference is not statistically significant. These findings hold valuable implications for professionals and policymakers, shedding light on the intricate interplay between work motivation, individual performance, and well-being, particularly in the public sector. Furthermore, the study delves into the practical applications of human capital and organisational behaviour, offering actionable insights for leveraging these concepts to optimize employee motivation and productivity.

The state of physical readiness of the students of higher education institutions to the defense of Ukraine

The article reveals the theoretical issues of patriotic upbringing and physical readiness of students of educational institutions to defend the state. It was revealed that modern realities led to intensify the search for an effective content of the educational process in physical education, the introduction of physical culture, health and applied technologies to increase the level of physical fitness and mastery of military-applied physical skills and abilities by students of higher education institutions. The purpose of the article is to study the state of physical preparedness of students of higher education institutions to protect the national sovereignty and integrity of Ukraine. Physical readiness refers to the student's physical condition which allows him to perform physical exercises and overcome obstacles that may be encountered in accordance with the requirements of the military task. Departments of physical education should ensure the proper physical readiness of students for life and military service in higher education institutions. Currently, the level of physical preparedness of students of higher education institutions does not meet the requirements for conscripts in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Studies have confirmed that only 7.0% of first-year students have a high level of physical preparedness, these are as a rule athletes who have a high qualification or those who systematically do physical exercises, visit gyms or physical culture and health centers. 24.0% of students are classified as average, 37.2% as low and 31.8% as poor respectively. It can be assumed that 69.0% of the first-year students who have just entered the university are not ready to defend the Motherland in terms of physical preparedness. The system of physical education in higher education institutions of Ukraine needs a fundamental restructuring and restoration.

Human Resources in Health Care – Governance, Operation, Handling, and Oversight

Abstract In this article, the topic of human resource management (HRM) is examined as a technique to raise employee output, which, in turn, increases patient pleasure and contentment with the services that are delivered. Care that is not only risk-free but also timely, patient-centered, cost-effective, and delivered in an equitable manner should be the major priority of any health-care system. Training, motivation, and retention of employees should be prioritized as part of HRM, along with the introduction of novel strategies and the rigorous, data-driven planning of how those resources will be utilized. In the modern health-care system, many employees have not received adequate training or have not yet achieved the needed level of mastery in the competencies they are expected to possess. It has become increasingly clear that to deliver high-quality medical services, it is necessary to provide patients with care that is individualized to meet their specific requirements. To stay up with the rapid changes taking place in the health-care industry, the field of human resources development needs to modernize its procedures. In addition, the management of human resources requires keeping an eye on how the rules and regulations governing the health-care system impact staff members. To provide high-quality medical care, it is essential to perform a gap analysis, incorporate appropriate available skills to close the gap, diversify the work among the available team, and use quality improvement methodologies to create an interdisciplinary group for better patient-centered health care.

Validating the Use of Percent Grammatical Utterances for Assessing Mandarin-Speaking Children's Grammatical Skill: Evidence From 3-Year-Olds.

The study examined the use of percent grammatical utterances (PGUs) for assessing grammatical skills in Mandarin-speaking 3-year-old children. Participants were 30 Mandarin-speaking 3-year-olds with typical development. Language samples were collected in two visits for each child using a picture description task. Children were asked to talk about 16 pictures in response to questions and prompts at each visit. Pictures for the language sample collection were identical across the visits. PGUs were computed, and the grammatical errors that children produced in the task were coded and tallied for error types at each visit. Test-retest reliability, split-half reliability, and concurrent criterion validity of PGUs were evaluated. The mean PGU level was approximately 78% at Visit 1 and 81% at Visit 2, both of which were significantly below the mastery level (i.e., 90%). The correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability of PGU was large (r = .70, p < .01); the correlation coefficient for split-half reliability was medium at Visit 1 (r = .47, p < .01) and large (r = .65, p < .01) at Visit 2. In addition, the correlation coefficient for concurrent criterion validity of PGU was medium for both visits (rs ≥ .35, ps ≤ .03). The ranking and proportion of each error type were similar between the visits. The initial evidence from psychometric properties suggests that PGU computed from the picture description task is a reliable and valid measure for evaluating grammatical skills in Mandarin-speaking 3-year-old children. https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25395499.
