가정과교사의 발달단계에 따른 좋은 수업에 대한 인식

The purpose of this study is to examine home economics teachers' perception and practice of good instruction according to teacher developmental stages, and to explore what efforts and supports are needed for good instruction. For this purpose, total of 6 home economics teachers were interviewed in depth by selecting 2 people from each development stage: adaptation stage, growth/development stage and mastery stage. Data were interpreted through analytical memo writing, initial coding, in-depth coding, and categorization. The results of the study are as follows. First, teachers in the ‘adaptation stage’ strive to break away from the fantasy of teaching skills. Teachers in the ‘growth/development stage’ continue to think in order to create good instruction with their own teaching style. Teachers in the ‘mastery stage’ constantly struggle to move for good instruction based on a firm curriculum identity. Second, They all think that the direction of good instruction is to be faithful to the essence of home economics education. Good instruction is reorganized to focus on a compositional perspective and connect with the lives of students. Third, In order to teach good instruction, home economics teachers need to make efforts to expand ‘teacher agency’. Forth, What is absolutely necessary to continue good instruction is the solidarity of home economics teachers. They need support to build solidarity. This study is expected to be a starting point to revitalize various discourses about the direction and practice of good home economics instruction in the future.

Креативные установки в контексте жизненных и профессиональных ценностей студенческой молодежи: гендерное измерение

The problem studied in the article is caused by the need to develop creative sectors of the Russian economy and generate innovative processes in all spheres of life, which require creating conditions for creative self-realization for both women and men equally. The article is devoted to the identification of the connection between students' attitudes to creative activity and their life and professional values, special attention is paid to the search for gender differences in creative attitudes of students. The empirical base of the study is the data from a survey conducted in 2024 among Russian university students (n=750). The results of the study identified the priority of essential terminal motivation of creative activity due to the high importance of selfactualization values in the structure of life and professional values of students. The following gender features of attitudes toward creative activity among students were identified: women are more involved in the development of creative projects and advanced training at courses and trainings, men – in programming, mastering and improving technologies; women are more often involved in the manifestation of creativity in creative hobbies, education, social and civic activism, men – in scientific research, politics and management. It is concluded that the institutional conditions existing in Russian society and gender role stereotypes rooted in the public consciousness influence the nature of women’s creative attitudes and their choice of areas for realizing their creative potential. Gender asymmetry in areas of employment and the “closedness” of women’s access to areas such as management and politics do not contribute to women’s desire to show their potential in them.

Lived experiences of work-life balance among doctoral nursing students: a qualitative descriptive study

ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of the meaning and nature of nursing doctoral students’ lived work-life balance experiences. Methods A qualitative descriptive study was conducted with 11 doctoral nursing students who worked and raised children. In-depth interviews were conducted to collect data, providing insight into the participants’ work-life balance experiences. As proposed by van Manen, four lifeworld existential, namely lived place, lived body, lived time, and lived relations, were used for qualitative data analysis. Results Four existential themes emerged: 1) existing in multiple spaces; 2) busy, tired, hard, and painful but must endure; 3) time to endure and grow until the end of schooling; and 4) realizing walls of togetherness. Conclusions This study explored how the work and life of doctoral nursing students with multiple roles are balanced and how they relate to others in different contexts. We revealed the problems and difficulties they face in their daily lives and the centres and motives behind their lives. Support from families, universities, and workplaces is needed to continue the Ph.D. program, which will eventually ensure the quality of the discipline.

관계외상을 경험한 대학생의 외상 후 삶에 대한 현상학적 연구

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the lives of college students have been impacted after undergoing interpersonal trauma. For this study, in-depth interviews were conducted on 7 college students above the age of 18 who had undergone continuous interpersonal trauma from early childhood. Van Manen’s hermeneutical phenomenology method was applied in order to focus on the essence of the vivid experiences and to convey the incidents as they are. This topic of interpersonal trauma was chosen after carefully reading and reflecting on the transcribed text multiple times and also referring to other works of art. As a result of this reading and reflecting, 30 sub-topics and 7 main themes were derived. The main themes include <My parents are not like real parents>, <Uncontrollable rage>, <I am pitiful because I’m withdrawn and insecure>, <I cannot trust people>, <I am alone in the world>, <Put a lot of effort into maintaining relationships>, <Trying to become a different ‘me’ from before>. These themes were a series of processes in which participants partook in order to protect and restore their relationships because they had a ‘desire for recovery’, where they wanted to escape from pain and become whole again. By understanding the meaning of these students’experience, it is meaningful to provide basic data to prepare a plan to more professionally help students who have experienced interpersonal trauma, and suggest ideas for further research.

A Critical look at the Governance of Universities in the Face of Challenges: Passeism v/s Smart Governance with Data Sciences. Case of Lebanese Universities

The Lebanese private universities must respond to the current and future challenges within the framework of the globalization process. This requires important reforms with a high cost. This article analyzes the modes of governance of these universities, the risks involved and the management tools. A semi-structured interview survey was conducted among large private universities on current practices. It aims to dissects the different elements of governance, as well as the use of data science and key performance indicators in five sections: research, teaching, international relations, budget and financing, and finally student life and its environment. The analysis of the results shows that governance arrangements in universities are played out from two angles: there is a clear divergence between official arrangements and the real play of power. It also highlights fairly similar, if not identical, general structures, but very specific variations in the competencies of the supreme administrative councils, and the pivotal role played by the Presidents of these councils as orchestral conductors. In the second part of the survey, the analysis of the indicators reveals a dual aspect of reliability, on the one hand, but above all under-utilization, or limited utilization, on the other. These results will encourage the use of data science and artificial intelligence in decision making.

Containment Measures and Alcohol Consumption Among Drinking Higher Education Students Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Multilevel Analysis in 25 Countries.

Hazardous alcohol use tends to be more prominent among higher education students. The COVID-19 pandemic severely altered student life, raising questions on its impact on students' alcohol use patterns. The current study examined cross-country variations in drinking behaviors (weekly drinking and binge drinking), and the extent to which these variations were associated with containment measures implemented during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were obtained from the COVID-19 International Student Well-being Study, covering students in 25 middle- and upper-high income countries. Data on government responses were retrieved from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker. Multilevel multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed on weekly drinking (n = 44,212) and binge drinking (n = 32,785). Considerable cross-country variation existed for weekly drinking and binge drinking. In the majority of countries, a self-reported decrease in weekly drinking and a substantial self-reported decrease in binge drinking were observed. Closings of schools were associated with decreases in weekly drinking, while limitations on social gatherings were associated with increases in weekly drinking. The stringency index was associated with reporting decreased binge drinking. The study findings demonstrate a number of small yet significant associations between containment measures and changes in student drinking behaviors. Future studies are required to uncover why some students increased their alcohol consumption, particularly in countries with stricter limitations on social gatherings.
