Family functionality as a mediator in the relationship between humanization and academic burnout in adolescents

IntroductionDuring adolescence, personal competencies serve as protective factors against social exclusion and are crucial for promoting psychological well-being and creating opportunities for growth. Family and educational systems play a pivotal role in supporting these competencies. This study aims to analyze the relationships between humanization competencies, academic burnout, and family functionality, to examine sex differences in these variables, and to explore the mediating effect of family functionality.MethodsThe sample comprised 1,092 secondary school students (584 females and 508 males) from Almería, Spain, aged 12 to 17 (M = 14.5 years).ResultsThe findings show that family functionality is positively associated with humanization competencies and academic efficacy, and negatively associated with emotional exhaustion and cynicism. Notable sex differences emerged, with males scoring higher in optimism, self-efficacy, and affect, while females scored higher in sociability and cynicism. Mediation analysis revealed that family functionality partially mediates the relationship between humanization competencies and academic burnout, specifically impacting cynicism, academic efficacy, and emotional exhaustion.DiscussionThese results highlight the critical role of a supportive family environment in enhancing adolescents’ psychological resilience and academic outcomes. The study suggests that interventions targeting family functionality could be effective in reducing academic burnout and promoting overall well-being among adolescents.

Entrepreneurial competencies: content, principles of formation and development

In recent decades, entrepreneurship has become one of the key drivers of economic development and innovation. Entrepreneurial competencies play an important role in this process, which determine a person’s ability to successfully conduct business and cope with challenges. Particular attention in research is paid to this issue by the theory of entrepreneurial competencies developed by David McCleland.This article is aimed at studying the history of research in the field of entrepreneurial competencies, the results of the work of D. McCleland and other experts, as well as the conclusions that became the basis for further research.David McCleland, a prominent psychologist and one of the founders of the theory of motivation, observed that success in entrepreneurship largely depends on individual competencies, and not only on quantitative indicators, such as educational level or work experience. He highlighted a number of personal entrepreneurial competencies that contribute to successful activities. This concept has led to a deeper understanding of how personality traits influence business outcomes and how they can be developed and improved.The formation of personal entrepreneurial competencies is a key factor in success in modern business. David McCleland’s theory and subsequent research has shown that these competencies can be developed and refined. A systematic approach to their development, including regular assessment and targeted work on themselves, allows entrepreneurs to increase the efficiency of their activities and achieve their goals.

Rescaling outbound tourism motivation: new insights from tourists with mild dementia

ABSTRACT This paper explores tourism motivations for tourists with health conditions, with dementia as an example. A mixed-methods approach was adopted to develop and validate a 28-item outbound tourism motivational scale for individuals with mild dementia, including eight factors: bias-free equality quest, travel novelty-seeking, nostalgia and wellness exploration, personal competence showcase, relaxation and positivity, family bond enhancement, dementia cognitive and functional enrichment, and dementia-related behavioral and emotional symptom relief. Further investigations revealed that outbound tourism motivations among individuals with dementia significantly influence their attitudes and future intentions for such travel. Findings inform targeted tourism marketing and management strategies for vulnerable tourists.

Dimensions and Correlates of Agripreneurial Competency

Competency implies that a person with competency possesses the skills and abilities necessary to compete effectively with others. In the present study competency of the agripreneuers measured using the suitable scale in KBK (Kalahandi, Balangir, Koraput, Malkanagiri, Nuapada, Balangir, Sonepur and Raygada) districts of Odisha. State and districts were selected purposively, whereas, respondents were selected randomly. Descriptive research design was followed. Data were collected from the respondents in 2024. A total 17 statements were included under five different dimensions i.e. opportunistic competency, organising competency, strategic competency, commitment competency and personal competency. It was observed that majority of the respondents (63.60%) possessed medium level of competency. It was identified that age, education, annul income and agripreneurial experience were positively associated with their competency level. Further it was noted that, two independent variables age and experience together contributed 70.4 per cent of variance in respondent’s competency level.

Personal Competence Formation in Education: The Effectiveness of the Development and Use of Gamified Learning Based on the Metaverse

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational method in the formation of student personal competence. The study also identifies differences in perception between students from megacities and regions of China and Russia. The authors analysed the students’ experience and knowledge in the field of gamification in the metaverse, as well as their perception of the metaverse as an educational tool. Accordingly, the research method is a survey based on the questionnaire “The Effectiveness of Using Virtual Video Metaverse-Based Games in Education” developed by the authors. The results of the study showed that more than half of the students rated the method of using virtual video games in the educational process as effective (45%) or very effective (35%). A correlational analysis and linear regression were conducted to assess the relationship between students’ satisfaction levels with the use of virtual video games in education and their perception of the effectiveness of this teaching method. Data were analyzed using a standard significance level of p < 0.05 to determine statistical significance. A high positive correlation was found between students’ satisfaction levels and their perception of the effectiveness of using virtual video games in education. The study also revealed that by using gamified learning in the educational process, students develop a variety of skills and gain new knowledge (46%). The results of this study suggest a high potential for the use of gamified learning (video games) in modern education. It is crucial to understand this potential and differences in perception between students from different regions to develop more effective educational programs based on socio-economic factors and increasingly available educational resources. The findings also necessitate further efforts in developing strategies to deal with barriers and limitations. There is an urgent need to optimize the use of metaverses in education according to local socio-cultural characteristics.

Comparative analysis of the inclusive potential of families raising children with disabilities

Introduction. The inclusive potential of families raising children with disabilities is included in the terminological space of resource capabilities of support subjects and is a fairly innovative phenomenon. Further elaboration of the conceptual field and obtaining quantitative and qualitative characteristics of parental effectiveness of families raising different categories of children with disabilities is required due to the lack of empirical research in this scientific area. The study was aimed at considering the problem of terminological variability in the conceptual space of the inclusive potential of families and consolidating a number of basic definitions, as well as presenting the results of a comparative study of inclusive parental competence in relation to different categories of children with disabilities. Materials and methods. The study of inclusive potential involved 245 families raising children with disabilities and 264 support specialists. Research methods used were as follows: author’s questionnaires: “Self-assessment of parental inclusiveness” and “Expert assessment of inclusive potential”. In order to establish the significance of the relationships between certain factor and outcome features, the method of analyzing arbitrary contingency tables by means of the Pearson chi-square criterion was used. Results. The differentiation of the conceptual space of potential opportunities of a modern family in terms of resource, rehabilitation, personal and inclusive potential was obtained. Based on the results of the study, comparative results of the assessment of the inclusive potential of families raising children of three research groups were obtained: with autism spectrum disorders, mental retardation and visual impairments. When analyzing data on individual groups of competencies in terms of different target groups, competence fields with high rates of statistically significant differences in assessments depending on the factor of the child’s nosology (p < 0.001) were identified – these were communicative, personal and value-semantic competencies. Herewith, relative homogeneity of the groups was revealed for information and educational competencies; statistically significant differences were not revealed (p > 0.05). Conclusion. The results of the study allow objectifying comparative data concerning the potential of families raising different categories of children with disabilities. Parental effectiveness, considered in the context of family inclusion, is determined through a system of assessing different groups of competencies. The data obtained guide the choice of strategies for supporting families raising children with disabilities in the direction of developing inclusive potential.

DEVELOPMENT OF QUALITY EDUCATION THROUGH DRIVING TEACHER PROGRAM

This article explains how to improve teacher quality, namely through a teacher mobilization program. The method used uses a qualitative approach using literature reviews in the form of journals and books. In the current era, teachers are expected to be able to develop their abilities and skills in the field of education so that the teaching and learning process can provide quality education for students and produce quality students too. There are four competency standards for driving teachers, including: (1) Pedagogical competency; (2) Personality competency; (3) Professional competence; and (4) Social competence. Driving teachers have an important role in creating a learning atmosphere that can attract and motivate students to be able to develop their talents and potential independently. The aim of having a driving teacher is to provide motivation for students to improve their academic achievement, develop critical thinking skills, and also foster their own creativity. The results of the research show that the teacher mobilization program is a solution to various problems, the main one being educational equality, with this program being able to improve the quality of teachers both in urban and rural areas.

Misdiagnosis of borderline personality disorder in transgender and gender nonbinary populations

Background Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) individuals have faced problems with clinical bias in the mental health world. TNB individuals appear to be assigned pathologizing diagnoses like personality disorders at disproportionate rates from their cisgender counterparts, which can result from transphobia and lack of trans-affirmative training. Aims The following study aims to examine potential diagnostic bias and factors which may lead to the misdiagnosis of BPD in TNB populations. Methods This study included a clinical vignette of an adolescent client presenting to the emergency room with several symptoms which met criteria for gender dysphoria. This vignette was presented via email to currently practicing mental health clinicians (N = 178) who were then asked to select a diagnosis from a list provided and report the degree to which each symptom or diagnostic feature impacted their diagnostic decision-making. In addition, practitioners provided demographic information as well as their level of training working with TNB clients, their level of comfort working with TNB clients, and their perceived personal knowledge or competence in TNB-affirmative care. Practitioners also completed a measure to assess levels of endorsement of transphobic attitudes or beliefs. Results Findings indicated that borderline personality disorder was the third most selected diagnosis (n = 12), with gender dysphoria (n = 82) and major depressive disorder (n = 75) being the two most assigned diagnoses. Additionally, findings suggested personal knowledge of trans affirmative care, rather than formal training, was more likely to predict diagnostic outcomes in this case. Specifically, individuals who diagnosed gender dysphoria had higher transphobia scores compared to those who chose another diagnosis. Discussion Clinical implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Critical strategies for strengthening the patriotic education framework for youth

The study aims to analyse the strategic directions for the fundamentalisation of the system of patriotic education of youth in modern society. The article highlights the issues of the formation and development of civic competence among young people. Various approaches to the essence of the definition of patriotic education are identified. The specific factors influencing the transformation of these concepts in the current conditions of social progress are outlined. The goals, tasks, and organisational-legal foundations of patriotic education of youth are substantiated. It is established that during childhood and adolescence, an individual forms personal values and competencies, which, in synergy, will determine the individual's attitude towards themselves and the surrounding world, influencing their actions and behavioural reactions in the context of patriotism. The priorities of patriotic education of youth in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the post-war period are characterised by national orientation, consolidation and integration, preservation of national identity, social harmony, personal reflection, constructive leadership, and continuity and succession. The main methodological approaches to implementing the process are highlighted particularly axiological, personality-oriented, activity-based, and competence-based approaches. The priority strategies for the fundamentalisation of the system of patriotic education of youth are substantiated, including spiritual identification and reflection, integration of youth into everyday patriotically oriented activities and projects, development of the inner value potential of patriotic action, fostering confidence in it, positioning a historical figure or contemporary as a role model, and appropriate independence. The concept of patriotic education is proven to be a scientific-applied problem that is a component of the theory of education, functioning as a harmoniously organised whole. It is clarified that in such a coordination status, the issue of patriotic education should apply the same methodological principles, methods, and approaches as the process of youth education in general.

Organic farming: mapping the perceptual landscape of business competence

PurposeWith organic farming (OF) emerging as a pivotal and sustainable farm enterprise globally, its adoption – particularly through sustainable organic farming practices (SOFP) – underscores the crucial role played by the competencies of organic farmers. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive perceptual assessment of the competencies essential for SOFP in the unique agricultural landscape. The focus is on exploring the entrepreneurial, managerial, personal and technical competencies of farmers engaged in OF.Design/methodology/approachEmploying a sequential mixed-methods approach, this study began with a quantitative phase (structured questionnaire) and seamlessly transitioned into a qualitative phase (focus group interviews). A total of 513 usable responses were received in the quantitative phase, and data from seven focus group interviews (FGIs) were recorded in the qualitative phase. The respondents were registered organic farmers affiliated with various farmer producer organizations (FPOs) in the Kashmir Valley, India. Methodological triangulation was used to interpret the results.FindingsThrough perceptual analysis, the study systematically identified and assessed the competencies held by the organic farmers. The study uncovered that farmers in the Kashmir Valley demonstrate competencies across personal, entrepreneurial, managerial and technical domains. Despite an overall moderate competence level, technical and managerial competencies were perceived as low and are focal points for improvement.Research limitations/implicationsThe study sheds light on OF competencies in the Kashmir Valley, caution is warranted due to its regional focus. The reliance on self-reported data introduces potential bias in competency assessments. The sample, drawn from FPOs, can be a lacuna. The study’s static snapshot captures competencies at a specific time, limiting insights into potential temporal changes.Practical implicationsThe findings advocate for targeted competency development programs tailored to elevate varied competencies among farmers. Collaborative initiatives, market-oriented training and locally customized extension services are proposed to effectively address and bridge competence gaps. Policymakers are urged to consider incentivizing competency development and crafting integrated agricultural policies that comprehensively support competency enhancement.Originality/valueThis research contributes significantly to the existing theory and literature by advancing the understanding of competencies of organic farmers. It unveils perceptual assessment on four key competence dimensions that are very vital for SOFP and also explores the extent to which these competencies are evident. Furthermore, this study provides interventions for competence development for successful sustainable organic agri-ventures and entrepreneurial avenues.

Scouting as a Strategy in Support of Mental Health Development Through the Formation of Sense of Self-Efficacy.

This research project examining the moderating role of the Scout Movement in supporting mental health through the shaping of personal competence is based on Bandura's conception of social development (social cognitive theory) in terms of generating a sense of general self-efficacy. This research examined the moderating value of Scouting with regard to the connection between self-esteem and a sense of efficacy and styles of coping with stress in a group of 683 volunteers. The results suggest that Scouting is a moderator of the relationship between the intensity of an emotion-focused stress coping style and a sense of self-efficacy-being a Scout intensifies the blocking effect of self-esteem on emotions in stressful situations, which can positively influence emotion regulation. The features described suggest the need to research Scouting as a non-formal education strategy to support the development of young people's mental health in different theoretical and methodological contexts. This work provides conclusions regarding understanding the role of Scouting as a moderator in coping with stress and, consequently, ensuring good mental health. It detailed the knowledge pertaining to specific mechanisms thanks to which Scouting can influence the development of emotional regulation and adaptive response to stressful situations.

Training for Students of Pedagogical Specialties “Modeling of Subjective Space”

Introduction. The article presents a scientific problem of modeling the subjective space of students, which is due to a number of factors: the need to monitor the process of developing personal competencies of the student; the primacy of studying and optimizing the relationship between teachers and students; insufficient theoretical and practical study of issues related to the phenomenon of the personal space of a student-future teacher. The purpose of the publication is to theoretically study the subjective space of students of pedagogical specialties and experimental testing of training as a means of working with students along seven vectors of objective movement: knowledge, skills, abilities, intellectual abilities, value-semantic awareness, spiritual and moral potential and metacognitive thinking. Methodology. The study was facilitated by the methods of theoretical (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, formalization) and empirical knowledge (observation, questionnaires, comparison). Results. The scientific results obtained during the study fully confirm the effectiveness of the study. The pedagogical innovation of the problem study is concentrated in the modeling of the subjective space and the development of training for studying the vectors of the subjective movement of students in the context of forming their readiness for strategic activity. As part of the training work, the process of student diagnostics is presented. The author has developed nine questions for each vector. Conclusions. Based on the conducted research, conclusions are formulated that in the professional training of future teachers it is advisable to use the training “Modeling of Subjective Space”, the task of which is the individualization of professional and pedagogical education, which is required with the growth of the educational load, when students need a reflexive assessment of the results of their achievements for successful strategic activity in the future.

Charting The Path Of Formation: A Phenomenological Exploration Of The Acquired Values Of Former Seminarians

Seminary formation leaves an enduring impact on seminarians that extends far beyond the confines of the seminary walls. As seminarians journeyed through their formation, they are immersed in diverse values, teachings, and experiences that hone their character and worldview. This study explores the acquired values of the former seminarians during their time in seminary formation, exploring how these values continue to shape and influence their lives beyond the confines of the seminary walls. Employing a transcendental phenomenological approach, the researchers interviewed ten former seminarians who spent three to five years in the seminary. Through data analysis, three prominent themes surfaced on the acquired values: spiritual, moral, and personal competencies. These acquired values were not merely abstract concepts but tangible guiding principles that participants actively integrated into various aspects of human experience, including spiritual and ecclesial life, social interactions, and personal and professional development. By paying careful attention to the lived experiences of former seminarians, seminary programs can be crafted to nurture better the spiritual, moral, and personal development of future generations of clergy.

Autopercepción de Habilidades Blandas en practicantes de Psicología

The article focused on exploring the self-perception of soft skills in students of pre-professional internships in Psychology, recognizing the importance of these personal competencies. It was identified that these skills were linked to the development of competencies required for training as psychologists, especially during their pre-professional practices in different locations assigned by the Psychology study program. A reflective thematic analysis was carried out focused on the experiences of the participants, the principles established by the Code of Ethics of the College of Psychologists of Peru were used. A semi-structured interview technique was used, based on questions that considered the behavior of the interviewee. According to the analysis of the data obtained from the 42 interviews, they were grouped into the 8 dimensions proposed by Universia. It was found that there is a demand to strengthen soft skills, according to their self-perception. The aim is to strengthen the eight skills analyzed, such as managing your time effectively in the face of perceived demands. In addition, they require strengthening the ability to deal with stress, practitioners consider that it is mostly difficult for them to regulate their emotions, experiencing tension, frustration, when they cannot understand how to develop clinical, educational and organizational cases. At the same time, they report that sometimes they lose patience with the irresponsibility of their colleagues, but they do show sensitivity to the cases they deal with. Sometimes it makes it difficult for them to focus on the needs of the client/consultant, making it difficult for them to provide a timely response. They request to strengthen their intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, presenting constant concerns about their performance at their headquarters, influencing their emotional stability. In conclusion, the articulation of the curriculum is required to strengthen the behaviors associated with each of the skills addressed.

Charting the dual career journey: insights from adolescent athletes in lower secondary sport schools

ABSTRACT A dual career (DC) involves the integration of a sport career with education or employment, including various stages and transitions. Recently, there has been a notable trend of implementing DC programs within specialized sport schools for early adolescence athletes (ages 13–15). As this a crucial but understudied phase of the DC, the aim of this study was to identify current and projected resources and barriers associated with adolescent athletes’ DC in lower secondary school. As part of a larger three-year initiative, the Finnish Lower Secondary Sports Schools Pilot Project, sixteen (9 females and 7 males) adolescent DC athletes were interviewed twice in the eighth grade (M age = 14.4 years) and one year later in the ninth grade. Using the holistic athletic career model and push, pull, anti-push, anti-pull framework and a directed content analysis, the results revealed a range of immediate personal and environmental resources and barriers across athletic, academic, psychological, psychosocial and financial dimensions. They also suggested that interpersonal and institutional support were regarded as crucial assets for managing current challenges, while personal DC competencies, in particular, were emphasized as essential projected resources contributing to the sustainability of a DC in the future. Based on the findings, sports schools should increase the amount of hours dedicated to teaching DC competencies (e.g. emotional awareness, adaptability and social intelligence) to help athletes effectively cope with barriers and transitions. Additionally, flexible scheduling of teaching and training sessions could facilitate a better balance during demanding training periods.
