Impact of occupational socialization on how physical education teachers employ character education in schools

ABSTRACT Arguments relating moral and character education to the field of physical education are not novel. Despite this, there are few studies dedicated to studying how and why physical education teachers use character education in schools. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to address this literature gap by studying how seven teachers employed character education and the extent to which their upbringing, experiences in teacher education, and formal teaching career impacted their enthusiasm for, and use of, character and virtue pedagogies in physical education. Data were collected with three techniques (formal interviews, documents, and artifacts) and were analyzed through thematic methods. Guided by either a multi-sport or health/ physical literacy curriculum, data revealed that the teachers employed a range of character concepts and strategies to promote character development. Moreover, the acculturation phase, especially the impact of one's family and religious upbringing, appeared to have the most influence on teachers’ motivation for becoming a moral and character educationalist, while the organizational phase had the most impact on how they embodied this role and practice. In addition, while the professional socialization phase, or lack thereof, appeared to impact the type of curricula being promoted in schools, this phase had relatively little impact on how the participants employed character education with young people. In conclusion, the search for a physical education program and a group of physical educators espousing a well-informed and theoretically robust curriculum for teaching character education in schools, remains. Finally, future research concerned with providing and studying the impact of school and university-based professional development programs on department-wide initiatives and (moral) curriculum development would be helpful.

CoCoSo framework for multi-attribute decision-making with triangular fuzzy neutrosophic sets: “Innovation and entrepreneurship” evaluation case

The “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education focuses on cultivating students’ “innovation and Entrepreneurship” abilities, reflecting the fundamental requirements of economic progress and social development for the knowledge, ability, and quality structure of talents. Local universities should actively promote the reform of talent cultivation models, establish a scientific “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education target system based on the actual situation of the school, strengthen the construction of “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education courses, build various “innovation and Entrepreneurship” practice platforms, pay attention to the interaction between the first and second classrooms, as well as practical and training platforms, serve the growth and talent development of students, and achieve a comprehensive improvement in the quality of school education, teaching, and talent cultivation. The “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education quality evaluation of local colleges could be considered as multiple attribute decision-making (MADM). Recently, the Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) method and information entropy method was employed to deal with MADM. The triangular fuzzy neutrosophic sets (TFNSs) are employed as a better tool for expressing uncertain information during the “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education quality evaluation of local colleges. In this paper, the triangular fuzzy neutrosophic number CoCoSo (TFNN-CoCoSo) based on the TFNN grey rational coefficients (TFNNGRC) from TFNN positive ideal solution (TFNNPIS) is constructed to cope with the MADM under TFNSs. The information entropy method is employed to compute the weight values based on the TFNNGRC from TFNNPIS under TFNSs. Finally, a numerical example of “innovation and Entrepreneurship” education quality evaluation of local colleges is constructed and some decision comparisons are constructed to verify the TFNN-CoCoSo method.

Achieving Sustainable Quality Education Targets: a Case Study in East Java, Indonesia

Objectives: This article aims to analyze the implementation of education policies designed to introduce quality education and identify barriers at the local level. The study focuses on an elementary school in Probolinggo City, East Java Province, Indonesia, to understand how these policies are being executed and the challenges faced. Methods: Interviews were conducted with various stakeholders, including school representatives, education office officials, and local government authorities. The study utilizes two types of data: primary data collected through interviews and secondary data from existing records and reports.

Breaking Down Walls: Challenges in Teaching English to School Level Students

This paper addresses the challenges associated with English language instruction in rural schools of India. The language policy in school education poses both societal and individual hurdles. The prevailing quality of English language education in many Indian schools is concerning, with issues such as teacher proficiency, access to language resources, and instructional materials being primary concerns. Rural students face particularly arduous circumstances, lacking the resources and opportunities available to their urban counterparts, such as language labs and audio-visual aids. English is often perceived as a subject rather than a language by rural students, hindering their engagement and proficiency. Many students approach English studies solely for examination purposes, focusing on rote memorization rather than genuine language acquisition. This fear of English is compounded by the limited vision of some teachers, who prioritize exam results over long-term student development. Key Words: Rural, proficiency, circumstances, acquisition, resources memorization
