A STUDY OF MENTAL HEALTH DISORDER IN REFERENCE TO VOCATIONAL INTEREST AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL STUDENT OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS OF DELHI

This present study was planned a study of Mental Health Disorder in reference to Vocational Interest at the Secondary Level Student of Government Schools of Delhi.Mental health issues are playing a vital role in the school student’s life. School pressure and typical stressors at the beginning and end of college can precipitate the First onset of mental health and substance abuse issues or worsening of symptoms. In many cases, The nature of the pathology has been chronic because low demand for treatment and and lack of adherence to treatment. Awareness programs and strategies must be used to ensure the maintenance of treatment. Because many traditional students remain dependent on their families during college, parental participation in treatment is important. Lastly, in view of How the school calendar can affect continuity of care, clinicians should Make sure students at the college receive treatment all year long and Coordination with other clinicians/psychologist who are able to participate in student care. As a result, expertise in family dynamics, developmental psychopathology, special college issues and care systems is essential for conducting clinical treatment with college students. Method: A descriptive research methodology was used to perform this research work. All upper secondary students were registered for the study. In this study, researchers randomly selected 257 students (138 boys and 119 girls) from schools of Government of Delhi. The sample consisted of students in the upper secondary and upper secondary classes in different schools and colleges. Three psychological tests were used for this research. (1).“Academic/school Anxiety Scale for Children (AAFC-GS) – prepared by A.K. Singh and A. Sengupta. (2). “Academic Achievement Test for Children,” one criterion was developed and standardized by researchers on all Class VIII topics. The test was administered to the sample group by the researchers to collect results. (3).“The Strong Interest Inventory”- It has helped educational institutions and businesses develop the best and brightest and guided thousands of people—From high school and university students to mid-career workers seeking meaningful and rewarding careers. Results: This study points to a high prevalence of symptoms of Academic Anxiety among male students (49.42%) and female students (56.04%). The results of the study also show that the incidence of stress, anxiety, and depression were 37.7%, 31.15%, and 33.13%, respectively. Academic Anxiety was much higher amongst females, then that stress, anxiety, and depression were significantly higher among senior secondary students. This study found that male and female students were found to be different from stress. Finding: We found that male students are under a lot of stress compared to girls and are also different bunch of undergraduates A number of important ways, including living on campus and connecting, school responsibilities with academic advisors. We think that mental health expertise who work on campus should improve their education and Knowledge by familiarizing oneself with the topics discussed in this paper. For this reason, Increased levels of stress, anxiety and depression in these students can be observed in society. There is a need to detect levels of stress, anxiety and depression in the school students & follow through with a further recommendation to get the proper diagnosis and treatment in specialized psychiatric centers. Do not interfere with the learning development process by doing. Moreover, other studies are recommended to remove the factors behind these mental disorders in relation to their school-related anxiety. In addition, additional research is recommended “Studies on the mental health disorders treatment and co morbidity, including reflections on students during the high level of stress, anxiety cases”.

Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Self-Regulation: A Qualitative Case Study of Undergraduate University Students in Peshawar

This study sought to explore the interplay between emotional intelligence and emotional self-regulation in undergraduate university students. This study was conducted to investigate the emotional intelligence level of undergraduate university students and to examine the difficulties faced by the students in the attainment of their emotional intelligence. The study was conducted in four universities in Peshawar; the sample included forty (40) purposively selected participants. A thematic analysis approach was used to analyze the qualitative findings. The results of the study show that most of the students faced several emotional problems in connection with their academic performance as well as in their personal lives. The findings also show that the students in the early level were significantly different in EI than the students in the senior semesters. These findings suggest that there should be resources, facilities, and guidance services options in universities for students to regulate their emotions properly.

Nursing Academic Staff and Students in Oman's Level of Knowledge about Climate Change Issues and their Level of Compliance to The Go Green, Be Climate Positive Campaign

Higher education institution students, faculty, and staff give environmental awareness and green initiatives high emphasis for several reasons: promoting environmental awareness: Students are the future leaders of the planet and will oversee addressing climate change issues. Students’ environmental sensitivity is necessary for the advancement of a sustainable future, and college initiatives like “go green” and climate change awareness make this feasible. The study is a descriptive correlational study that aims to explore the student and faculty’s level of awareness regarding climate change and the level of compliance with the Go Green Be Climate Positive Campaign. The study population comprised of nursing students and nursing faculty members from Oman College of Health Sciences-Dhofar. The sample was obtained using consecutive sampling with a response turnover of 75%. The researchers devised an online questionnaire consisting of three parts which were tested for reliability and validity. The study utilized SPSS Version 25 to run descriptive and inferential tests. Result showed the majority of the respondents were females, singles, students who are Omanis and living in a rural setting within the dominant age range of 20-25. Level of awareness above the mean average of 3.50 and the level of compliance the mean average of 2.30. The study demonstrates that age and awareness levels are associated, and that compliance levels are related to awareness levels.

Student's anxiety level towards mathematics: Basis for intervention program

This study, entitled Students’ Anxiety Level Towards Mathematics: Basis for Intervention Program, investigated Math anxiety among Liceo de Pagsanjan students via pre-interviews with teachers and students, utilizing random sampling of Grade 10 sections. The respondents of the study were composed of sixty-eight (68) Grade 10 students at Liceo de Pagsanjan. A quantitative method with online questionnaires was employed, analyzing data using Pearson r correlation and Chi-Squared correlation analysis to measure the anxiety level of the grade 10 students towards Mathematics. As the responses from the online questionnaires were converted into data, the mean, Pearson r, and chi-squared correlation analysis were used for statistical treatment. Significant links were found between students' experiences and Math anxiety, emphasizing the need for comprehensive support networks. This suggests that students' experiences have an impact on their anxiety levels about the subject. The significant relationship between experiences at home, school, and among peers underscores the need for comprehensive support networks. The "Math Anxiety Termination Program" (MATP) was proposed to address issues. However, Chi-Squared analysis showed no significant correlation between demographic factors and Math anxiety levels. Recommendations include tailored interventions and enhancing communication in a supportive environment. In light of the findings and conclusion, some recommendations, such as building upon the findings of this study and developing their own action plan or intervention program tailored to addressing math anxiety and making programs aimed at enhancing student communication and empathy, can also be adopted, creating a supportive environment where individuals feel heard and valued for their perspectives.

A Comparative Study of Multiple Intelligences Profiles and English Language Achievement Among Primary School Students in Urban and Rural Areas

This research study aimed to measure and compare the MI profile of urban and rural primary school students to understand the relationship between intelligence type and English language learning. A cross-sectional research design was adopted to solve the query, and using purposive sampling techniques, two (02) of the schools, one each, i.e., urban & rural, were selected, and twenty-six students from each school were included in the study sample. Both genders were given equal representation. A standardized test was used to measure the participants' MI; later, a test for grade-five level students was constructed to measure their proficiency in all language skills, i.e., listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The standardized and language proficiency test results were compared, showing a relationship between linguistic-verbal Intelligence and language learning, and has ultimately proved the theory proposed by Harward Gardner.

LONGEVITY: NOW AVAILABLE IN CANS! A PERFORMANCE LECTURE APPROACH TO ADDRESSING LONGEVITY ISSUES FROM A RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION PERSPECTIVE

This article describes the development of a theatre- and design-based Performance Lecture whose goal is to develop reflexivity around the theme of longevity and innovation in secondary and university level students. Theatre is an art form that aims at developing self-reflection and reflexivity in both audiences and participants, opening the door to reflective learning which, if combined with critical design and design fiction, offers an effective medium for addressing many dimensions of Responsible Innovation (RI). The workshop involves the presentation of a fictional “near-future” product, a drink called "Longevity". The drink contains nanobots that once ingested can be directed (with an app) to stimulate the body to produce certain compounds, allowing the user to control different properties in their blood “in flow”. This innovative use of technology offers more bodily efficiency, leading to a longer life. This methodology was primarily developed during the A Society for All Ages. Longevity-driven design Masters course at Milan Polytechnic (2022-23) and the Interaction Design and Service Design Masters courses at Milan Domus Academy (2023), and is grounded in grassroots approaches to Responsible Innovation.

This study was conducted on higher secondary level students from Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), Assam, India. Dichotomous variables like rural and urban, tribal and non-tribal are considered for sample collection. A stratified random sampling technique is used for data collection. When five subjects are considered as a unit, the Mahalanobis Distance (MD) is used to measure the difference in dynamical character of achievements. There is a significant difference in the achievement of students between pre-COVID 19 and during COVID 19 pandemic.

Teaching tools in the intercultural communication class – authentic materials

Specialists in intercultural communication seek to capitalize on authenticity so as to enable learners acquire the skills necessary to cope with the challenges of multicultural working environments. We have devised a complex activity plan aimed to promote interdisciplinary learning, cultural awareness, and other professional skills among master level students. The authentic materials which set the “real world” context of the activity are the answers provided in an interview carried out in 2023 aboard a merchant ship, with seamen with different cultural backgrounds (British, Indian, Ukrainian, Filipino). The paper describes the methods and materials used and draws some conclusions on the effectiveness of the experiential approach in the context of teaching intercultural communication to master level students at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania.

Gender gap in standardized tests: What are we measuring?

Typically, in standardised tests, girls underperform boys in mathematics while boys underperform girls in reading. Can these educational inequalities be driven by specific testing practices? This study addresses this question by innovatively using data from the largest worldwide standardized test and exploiting the random variation in the format of the tests assigned to students. I find that there is a noticeable widening of the gender gap when a larger share of questions is multiple-choice, rather than filling-the-gap questions. A 10 percentage point increase in the share of multiple-choice questions inflates female under-performance in mathematics by 0.025 standard deviations and male under-performance in reading by 0.035 standard deviations. This accounts for nearly one-quarter of the overall gender disparity found in these subjects. I provide suggestive evidence that ruling out alternative options, rather than coming up with an entire answer, may contribute to cognitive information overload among students with lower confidence levels (generally girls in mathematics and boys in reading). These cognitive loads, in turn, have implications for a student's future level of effort and performance.

It counts in every single lesson: Between- and within-person associations of teaching quality and student self-regulation

BackgroundThe significant influence that classroom interactions have on the development of students' self-regulation has been acknowledged for a long time. Nonetheless, past research has emphasised their impact on differences in self-regulation amongst students, without considering intra-individual variations. AimsWe examined whether there is a link between average and lesson-level student-perceived teaching quality, which includes student support, classroom management and cognitive activation, and student self-regulation in individual lessons. Moreover, we investigated whether the magnitude of the associations depended on students' dispositional self-regulation. SampleWe analysed data collected from 61 students (recruited sample N = 64 students; Mage = 11.71, SDage = 0.93). MethodsParticipants completed a baseline questionnaire (demographics, dispositional self-regulation) as well as 15 daily diaries in which they reported on their own self-regulation and the perceived quality of teaching in the last lesson of the day. ResultsThe findings revealed positive associations between student support and classroom management, both at the average and lesson level, and student self-regulation in individual lessons. No associations were found between the average and lesson level cognitive activation and students' self-regulation in individual lessons. The aforementioned associations were not moderated by students' dispositional self-regulation. ConclusionsThe findings emphasise the importance of student-perceived teaching quality at both the average and lesson-level for student self-regulation in individual lessons.

The research aims to be able to find out the applications of inquiry learning using exponential material which can improve the mathematical critical thinking skills of vocational school level students in Bekasi Regency. This research approach uses descriptive methods of analysis in testing and observing the improvement of the ability to think critically mathematically of learners, test instruments are used in the form of questions on students' mathematical critical thinking skills on exponent material. The results showed a percentage score of 100% for six students classified as "very critical"; 80% percentage for six students who fall into the critical category; 60% percentage for six students who fall into the less critical category; and a 40% rate for four students who fall into the non-critical category. It can be concluded that the inquiry-based learning model used to improve students' critical thinking is successful.

Exploring the changing modes of learning and teaching in campus-based curricula during and post- Covid-19

The rise in technology-rich learning environments is reflective of a global trend in higher education (HE), recently accelerated because of necessary digital teaching and assessment practices embraced during the Covid-19 pandemic. This qualitative study facilitated through focus groups and an interview explores the teaching and learning experiences of tertiary level students in the Covid-19 era. Data from 24 students based within a UK Higher Education Institution highlights how an expanded digital environment can optimise conditions for some students to independently practise and apply what they are learning at their own pace. Digitally enhanced opportunities to interact with teaching staff and learning resources also increased the options for these students to experience themselves as competent members of the HE community. This was particularly relevant for first-year students new to the processes and practices of tertiary education. In contrast, third year students with more experience of HE appeared less reliant on the provision of online learning resources. Participants also identified some potential problems associated with the enhanced flexibility of online teaching and learning resources in relation to students’ ability to be self-regulated. This paper rationalises the need for educators and educational and learning developers who teach and undertake scholarship in teaching and learning to consider the sociocultural context of the student and their learning environment when designing teaching activities and curricula. The data presented here highlight the need for a clearly defined framework to underpin the integration of digital technologies with on-campus activities.

Analisis kemampuan argumentasi matematis siswa pada materi bangun ruang sisi datar ditinjau dari kemampuan awal matematika

The aim of the research is to determine the level of students' argumentation ability to solve surface area and volume problems based on students' initial mathematical abilities. This research focused to discover new things that students do in solving problems based on the level of Toulmin argumentation ability. The methodology for taking subjects in this research was purposive, namely by categories of students with high, medium and low abilities, looking at the students' report cards. Students with a high level of initial argumentation can state claims, evidence and reasoning well but are less able to provide rebuttals. Students with a medium initial level of argumentation are only able to state claims and data well. Meanwhile, students with a low level of initial argumentation always make wrong claims and are not able to show evidence, reasoning and rebuttal to support their claims. High entry level students' argumentation abilities are at level 2 except for the rebuttal component, the rebuttal component is at level 0 where students tend to be unable to make counterclaims and unable to reject false statements. Students' argumentation abilities are not all students' initial argumentation abilities are at level 1, where students' ability to make claims and evidence is at level 2 while the ability to make rebuttals is at level 0. Students' initial argumentation abilities are low at level 0 where students are not able make claims, evidence, reasoning, and rebuttal well.

High School Students’ Level of Awareness and Preparedness of Natural Disasters

Natural Disasters are unforeseen occurrences that put people's lives in peril, interrupt their lives, and result in fatalities, environmental damage, property losses, and psychological consequences. The study aims to determine the level of awareness and preparedness for natural disasters among high school students. Furthermore, this study employed a correlation research design conducted in a public secondary school of Eastern Philippines. The respondents of the study were 266 high school students who were selected through a stratified and a systematic random sampling technique. The study used an adapted survey questionnaire from Orbe et al. (2023). Findings revealed that high school students possess a highly aware of any kind of natural disaster. In addition, the result revealed that students are moderately prepared in natural disasters before, during, and after it occurred. Furthermore, the study found a significant relationship between the student's level of awareness and level of preparedness. Therefore, the students are highly aware and moderately prepared towards the occurrence of any kinds of natural catastrophes such as “floods, landslides, typhoons, etc.” Since some of the students are attending a simulation drill in preparations of what should the proper way on how to lessen the effects of any disastrous events.

Exploring the influence of the Socrates Seminar Technique on anxiety, motivation, and reading comprehension in foreign learners of Turkish

This research aims to study the effects of the Socrates Seminar Technique on foreigners' Turkish learning anxiety, motivation, and reading comprehension skills. For this purpose, a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in this research. The study group of the research consists of 40 B2 level students learning Turkish at Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University, Turkish and Foreign Language Teaching Application and Research Center (BANÜ-TÖMER). To collect the research data, the Reading-Comprehension Achievement Test prepared by the researchers, the "Foreigners' Turkish Learning Anxiety Scale" designed by Sevim (2019a), and the "Motivation Scale for Learning Turkish as a Foreign Language" developed by Sevim (2019b) were used. Simple and predictive statistical methods were used to analyze data obtained via evaluation tools. After evaluating the findings obtained from the research, it was concluded that implementing the Socrates Seminar Technique in course activities led to increased reading comprehension achievement and enhanced motivation among students learning Turkish, while also reducing their anxiety levels associated with learning the language. Additionally, the study aims to provide concrete examples of course activities developed using the Socrates Seminar Technique in the realm of foreign language teaching. This study is intended to benefit both teachers and students, offering practical insights to enhance the teaching process in what is commonly perceived as a challenging domain.

Assessing the predictive validity of Provincial Medical & Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT).

To assess the predictive validity of Punjab Provincial Medical & Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT). A retrospective correlational study was conducted at the Fatima Memorial Hospital College of Medicine & Dentistry in Lahore, Pakistan. Data were analysed from 415 medical students who had completed the MBBS program from 2018-2020. Bivariate and multivariable regression models were used to adjust for confounders such as age, gender, city of origin, and pre-medical performance. A novel performance-trajectory analysis was used to evaluate whether students with different preadmission MDCAT scores had different performance trajectories in medical school. On simple bivariate analysis, there was a weak but significant (correlational coefficient 0.22-0.33, p<0.001) correlation between MDCAT scores and professional exam scores for all years of medical college. However, multivariable analysis of Matric/Fsc track showed no significant correlation (p > 0.05) between MDCAT and professional exam scores after the first two years. For O/A level students, there was no correlation between MDCAT and professional exam scores for any year of medical college (p>0.05). Trajectory analysis showed that students with exceptionally high MDCAT scores had a superior performance trajectory compared to those with the lowest quartile of MDCAT scores while students with average MDCAT scores had overlapping performance trajectories. For students from the Matric/FSc track only, there is a weak but significant correlation between MDCAT scores and professional exam scores for the first two years. No such correlation exists for O/A level students. Exceptionally high MDCAT scores are predictive of higher achievement in professional exam scores.

The role of adolescent social inclusion in educational attainment among vulnerable youth.

Completing high school enables access to educational and employment opportunities associated with better physical and mental health and improved quality of life. Identifying modifiable factors that promote optimal educational trajectories for youth experiencing disadvantage is an important research focus. Social inclusion has been theorised to play a role in promoting better educational outcomes for this priority population, however limited research has examined this relationship. This study used three waves of data from the state-representative Australian arm of the International Youth Development Study (IYDS) (youngest cohort, N = 733; 54% female, 95% Australian born) to examine the extent to which vulnerability in primary school (Grade 5; Mage = 10.97, SD = 0.38) and social inclusion in mid-adolescence (Year 10; Mage = 15.50, SD = 0.53), were associated with school completion in young adulthood (post-secondary; Mage = 19.02, SD = 0.43). Regression models identified an interaction between social inclusion and vulnerability (OR = 1.37, 95% CI [1.06, 1.77], p = .016), indicating that the association between vulnerability and school completion varied as a student's level of social inclusion increased. Higher social inclusion was beneficial for youth with lower levels of vulnerability but did not appear to influence school completion for the most vulnerable students. For many young people, promoting social inclusion may support engagement in education and play a protective role. However, further research is needed to better understand the role of social inclusion for highly vulnerable youth, particularly the mechanisms via which social inclusion may have differential effects on school completion.
