Race-based trauma: Teacher responses, supports, barriers, and burnout

The trauma of racism is a common experience among people of color in the United States. Minority children are more likely to experience race-based trauma (RBT) within their communities. Teachers are well positioned to recognize such distress. While mechanisms remain poorly understood, empathy may play a key role in how teachers support students who have experienced RBT. Though the benefits of empathy are well-known, it may be that bearing witness to another experiencing RBT could produce personal distress resulting in dissociation from the student to alleviate such distress. Such reactions may be more likely when a teacher is experiencing burnout. The purpose of the proposed research is to examine the relationships between teacher factors such as burnout as well as teachers’ responses to student RBT. We also seek to identify behavioral strategies associated with these responses and the situational factors that influence them. In-service teachers (n = 178) completed a measure of teacher burnout, viewed a video of a student describing a race-based traumatic event, completed a measure of their emotional response to the video as well as open-ended items exploring hypothetical and actual experiences with such students. We found that teachers with higher levels of burnout were also more likely to report self-focused, unpleasant emotions in response to the video. Qualitative analysis revealed six categories of responses: (a) Help, (b) reassurance, (c) listening, (d) personal reaction, (e) reframing, and (f) relating. We also identified six categories of supports that permitted desired responses to student RBT: (a) Personal experiences, (b) personal attributes, (c) external support, (d) time, (e) listening, and (f) relationship with students as well as six barriers that prevented desired responses: (a) Unequipped/unprepared, (b) external factors, (c) unfamiliar with students, (d) unfamiliar with context, (e) lack of information, and (f) lack of time. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Development of Ethnoscience-Laden IPA Teaching Materials on Material on the Form of Substances and Their Changes to Improve Science Literacy Skills of Elementary School Students

Based on the problems that occur at SDN Pangkah 07, Pangkah sub-district, Tegal district, through observations and interviews, it was revealed that the learning resources used to implement the Merdeka Curriculum are still limited. The teaching materials currently used are LKS which have not been able to improve students' scientific literacy. This causes it to be less in accordance with the characteristics of the material studied with students. So that students find it difficult to understand the material. Based on these problems, it is necessary to develop teaching materials that are packaged into ethnoscientific teaching materials. This research is a Research and Development (R&D) research using development procedures with the research model from (Thiagarajan, Semmel & Semmel, 1974) using the stages of 4D development research consisting of 4 stages namely Define, Design, Development and Dissemination. The results of this study indicate that ethnoscience-laden science teaching materials on the material of the form of substances and their changes to improve students' science literacy in elementary schools were successfully developed with average results on material experts 0.91 categorised as very valid, language experts 0.92 very valid and media experts 0.94 very valid. Effectiveness obtained 80% of the effective category is used. The practicality of the results of the teacher response questionnaire averaged 100% very practical from three aspects and the results of the student questionnaire averaged 90% very practical. So it can be concluded based on the data obtained, the characteristics of ethnoscience-loaded teaching materials are: a) in the form of printed teaching materials and links; b) ethnoscience-loaded teaching materials that take local wisdom. The ethnoscience teaching materials produced are in the very valid category, which is obtained from the assessment of validators or experts. The ethnoscience-loaded teaching materials produced with the n-gain value of the effective category, also obtained the results of teacher and student responses in the very practical category. Suggestions from the author of ethnoscience-loaded teaching materials need to be developed again on other science materials and aspects of science literacy attitudes and ethnoscience-loaded teaching materials that have been developed can be used as a reference by other researchers in carrying out similar research Keywords: Social Sciences teaching materials, Ethnoscience, Scientific Literacy

The responses of teachers and students showed that the child-friendly healthy school program was very good and succeeded in stimulating the Health Literacy and Psychological well-being of elementary school students. Research Implications: This child-friendly healthy school program can be a recommendation for teachers to instil self-awareness of physical and mental health in students and input for other educators to realize a comfortable and enjoyable child-friendly healthy school to achieve the SDGs. Originality/Value: The originality of this research is that the child-friendly healthy school program to achieve SDGs has yet to be done at elementary schools surrounding Jakarta Province in Indonesia.

Concerned or skeptical? Spanish preservice teachers’ emotions about climate change and their relationship to their climate change competence

The education system plays a crucial role in addressing climate change, to improve understanding and promote action in the society. Pre-service teachers, as future educators, play a crucial role in shaping the next generation’s attitudes and responses to this pressing issue. This study examines the relationship between climate change competence and the emotional responses of pre-service teachers in Spain, aiming to identify potential implications for climate education. A survey was conducted with 870 pre-service teachers from four universities, assessing their knowledge, skills, attitudes, and emotions regarding climate change. Results revealed significant correlations between climate change competence and emotional responses, allowing to identify two distinct groups of pre-service teachers: the "concerned" and the "skeptical." The concerned group demonstrated higher levels of competence and a greater willingness to teach about climate change, whereas the skeptical group exhibited lower levels of competence and a reduced inclination to act as change agents. This study provides empirical evidence that emotions regarding climate change should not be classified simply as positive or negative; rather, they should be understood in the context of whether they have an activating role, thus promoting climate action, or not, thus resulting in resistance to it.

Development of circulatory system mobile learning (CSML) for grade XI students

The utilization of communication devices such as mobile phones as a learning support tool in the development of technology 4.0 is still low. The low mobile phone utilization as a learning support tool causes the variety of learning media used by teachers to be low. The low variety of learning media results in students having difficulty mastering the concept of learning material, especially circulatory system material in class XI. The difficulty of concept mastery on circulatory system material can be overcome through the development of circulatory system mobile learning (CSML). The research objectives are: 1) Develop CSML on circulatory system material in grade XI, 2) Test the feasibility of CSML, and 3) Know the response of teachers and students to CSML. The type of research is Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Data collection uses feasibility validation questionnaires and response questionnaires. The data analyzed were the results of the feasibility assessment from media experts and material experts, and the results of responses from teachers and students. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively descriptive using a Likert scale of 1-4. The results of the study are 1) The result of developing CSML can be accessed online; 2) The results of the feasibility assessment from media experts were 82.27% and material experts were 89.59% with a very feasible category; 3) The results of teacher responses were 87.02% and student responses were 88.55% with a great category.
