Factors Affecting Teachers’ Academic Optimism in Secondary Schools

Academic optimism is a vital concept that can help schools overcome the challenges posed by students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This study investigates the factors that influence the academic optimism of secondary school teachers. Using a phenomenological approach, we collected data through focus group interviews with principals and teachers, employing the maximum variation sampling technique to ensure diverse perspectives. Our analysis revealed three themes that affect teachers' academic optimism: self-efficacy, academic emphasis, and trust in students and parents. Notably, our findings indicate that teachers' experiences of success or failure are the most significant determinant of their academic optimism. Based on these results, we propose actionable strategies to enhance teachers' self-efficacy, ultimately promoting academic optimism in secondary schools.

Promoting RAPID Vaccine Science Education at the Onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

At the onset of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, it was clear that we needed to support public education on the science of vaccines. This project was born of that need and led to the development of comprehensive educational materials that addressed the process of science, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 biology, vaccine development, and science communication and outreach. Called the "Online Vaccine Science Resources for COVID-19 Education," the materials generated were designed to be implemented by educators and community groups in various contexts. They took the form of four modules and general audience informational videos available on a YouTube channel. Each module was assembled as a toolkit with instructional videos, assessments, discussion questions, assignments, synthesis activities, and guides for constructing infographics and dual poster (science and general public audience) presentations. The materials were piloted and tested in various educational settings, including 2-year and 4-year colleges. Data gathered from surveys of faculty and student participants suggested that exposure to the materials promoted student trust in vaccination and the scientific process of vaccine development, and increased the likelihood of their getting a freely available vaccine. Assessment data indicated that the materials were successful in helping students achieve the learning objectives for the modules. Our results underscored the continued need for science education strategies that address the critical problem of vaccine hesitancy as we continue to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Social trust and subjective well-being of first-generation college students in China: the multiple mediation effects of self-compassion and social empathy.

Previous studies have found that subjective well-being is associated with social trust, self-compassion, and social empathy. Based on online fieldwork with 662 first-generation college students (54.7% male) in China, this study aimed to investigate the serial mediation effects of self-compassion and social empathy on the relationship between social trust and subjective well-being. The results showed that subjective well-being was significantly positively correlated with social trust, trust in people, self-compassion, and social empathy. Both self-compassion and social empathy partially mediated the relationship between social trust and subjective well-being, and fully mediated the association between trust in people and subjective well-being. We used a serial mediation model to estimate the effect of general social trust, including trust in people, on subjective well-being. The findings that self-compassion and social empathy mediated the relationship between trusting attitudes toward society, especially people, and subjective well-being expand the literature on social trust and the mechanism of social trust on subjective well-being. The results also highlight the significance of improving mental health education and intervention among first-generation college students in China.

The mediating role of green trust in the effect of the preference for green products on the purchase intent of health students

Purpose- Today, sustainability is a very important concept so that future generations can live comfortable life. In this, it is very important to produce products that are compatible with nature, to trust the product or service, and to purchase them. This study was conducted to determine the mediating role of green trust in health education students' green product purchasing preferences. Methodology- The sample of the study consists of 330 students studying in health departments. In the analysis of the data, descriptive, explanatory factor, confirmatory factor, correlation and regression analyzes were performed. Findings- There is a significant relationship between green product preference and all sub-dimensions of green product preference (attitude, environmental concern, environmental knowledge, subjective rules) and green product purchase intention. There is a significant relationship between green product preference and green product trust in all sub-dimensions of green product preference (attitude, environmental concern, environmental knowledge, subjective rules). There is a significant relationship between trust in green products and purchasing green products. In the sub-dimensions of students' green product preferences and green product preferences (attitude, environmental concern, environmental knowledge), the effect on green product purchasing also has a mediating effect on the level of trust in green products. However, subjective rules do not have a mediating effect on green product purchasing, nor does the level of trust in green products. Conclusion- This study aims to increase the awareness of green products and green trust, which is important in sustainability, on purchasing behavior, especially among young people, and to make this a behavior. Thus, a comfortable life can be provided for future generations. Keywords: Sustainability, green product, green trust, purchasing behavior, health students JEL Codes: M30, M31, Q01

Changing representations of student achievement: The need for innovation

ABSTRACT Transcripts and testamurs serve to confirm the award of a degree but offer limited information on what a student can actually do. This conceptual paper considers the problem of how graduate achievements are represented by universities in typically reductive and limited ways that do not enable student achievements and distinctiveness to be communicated to future employers, communities and students themselves. It argues that refinements to existing methods for the design and development of assessment are needed to encompass both university validated and contextualised credentials along with student-constructed portrayals of achievement and personas. Significant change is needed to assessment design, data capture and storage and the ways in which learning outcomes are tracked across a program and over time. Innovations in assessment representation should strengthen employer trust in the value of degrees, student trust in assessment processes and scaffold student agency in curating their employability narratives.

The Effects of Explanations in Automated Essay Scoring Systems on Student Trust and Motivation

Ethical considerations, including transparency, play an important role when using artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Explainable AI has been coined as a solution to provide more insight into the inner workings of AI algorithms. However, carefully designed user studies on how to design explanations for AI in education are still limited. The current study aimed to identify the effect of explanations of an automated essay scoring system on students’ trust and motivation. The explanations were designed using a needs-elicitation study with students in combination with guidelines and frameworks of explainable AI. Two types of explanations were tested: full-text global explanations and an accuracy statement. The results showed that both explanations did not have an effect on student trust or motivation compared to no explanations. Interestingly, the grade provided by the system, and especially the difference between the student’s self-estimated grade and the system grade, showed a large influence. Hence, it is important to consider the effects of the outcome of the system (here: grade) when considering the effect of explanations of AI in education.

SOCIO-COMMUNICATIVE ASPECTS OF TRUST CONCEPTS AMONG BACHELOR STUDENTS OF MOSCOW UNIVERSITIES

Interest in the analysis of trust in social communications is due to the fact that modern society is subject to a number of global challenges in economics and politics. Young people, as the most susceptible and labile group of the population, may experience the negative impact of these challenges, coupled with a crisis of values and social guidelines. The purpose of the research is to analyze the perceptions of trust among bachelor students from Moscow universities in the context of social communications. Empirical data are presented by the results of a survey of full-time students living in Moscow and the Moscow Region (n = 441, 2021). The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is formed by the theories of trust of Russian and foreign researchers (F. Fukuyama, Yu. Lo, P.M. Doni, V.Yu. Stolyar, P.M. Kozyreva, S.V. Ryzhova, et al.). The scientific novelty of the study is the identified patterns of the phenomenon of trust in the youth environment. The results of the study show the ambiguity of the interpretation of trust by students. In building trusting relationships, honesty, openness and sincerity are most significant for students. Most consider it impossible to have relationships without trust with relatives and friends. In intercultural communications, it is easier for students to trust post-Soviet citizens. For barriers of trust, the most significant was the socio-cultural barrier (difference in mentality, norms, values, the presence of stereotypes, etc.), as well as the language barrier. The conclusions and recommendations presented in the article can be used in further research on student trust, as well as for making managerial decisions to strengthen the value of trust in education.

Ability, benevolence, and integrity: The strong link between student trust in their professors and satisfaction

Improving student satisfaction remains a critical pursuit for institutions of higher education to address enduring challenges with student retention and persistence. Student trust in their professors offers one potentially impactful approach that faculty can individually pursue to improve such student satisfaction. However, the link between trust and satisfaction, including how trust is formed, has largely been overlooked in higher education research. Given this gap, we present initial empirical validation via partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) of U.S. business student survey data of the profound impact of the ABI model of trust, which comprises ability (knowledge and skills), benevolence (concern for others), and integrity (sound ethical and moral principles). The results confirm ABI as a second-order construct that directly measures student trust in their professors rather than ABI serving as antecedents to such trust. Moreover, ABI trust acts as an exceptionally strong predictor of satisfaction for both undergraduate and graduate business students, positioning student trust in professors as critical in higher education. Accordingly, we organize feedback from a survey of faculty to present specific, actionable tactics that professors can apply in their classes to enhance ABI trust, thereby elevating not only student satisfaction but also their own teaching evaluations.
