Kindergarten teachers’ first year of internship is typically even more intense than that of schoolteachers. The challenges faced often become more complicated and difficult for those novice kindergarten teachers who are people of color and/or members of other minority groups, such as Ethiopian-descended Israelis. The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of Ethiopian-descended Israeli kindergarten teachers regarding their experience job searching and their first year of work in the field. Nine such novice kindergarten teachers were interviewed for this purpose. The interviews were analyzed by using a qualitative-phenomenological method. The findings revealed instances of implicit racism from team members, supervisors and students’ parents, as well as interviewees’ coping methods and their sense of purpose and achievement in dismantling racist stereotypes. These findings necessitate a re-examination of the needs of Ethiopian-descended kindergarten teacher in the job search stage and in their early years of teaching, as well as relevant adaptations to the training and mentoring programs available, in order to enable these teachers’ successful integration into and retention within the education system.

Education is a complex system with implications for educational policy and management. Education systems that are more comprehensive generate more equal outcomes, fostering access to opportunities for all children. On the other hand, systems with early selection and tracking are more stratified and register higher inequalities in educational outcomes. Educational inequalities imply unequal access to education and, subsequently, career opportunities. The present study employs classification techniques, such as decision trees, in order to highlight lines of stratification and inequality in the upper secondary education system in Romania, focusing on the selection of students in general or vocational programs. Our results show that the education of parents and area of residence are factors that influence the stratification of students in the Romanian secondary education system, and the selection process contributes to the reproduction of social inequalities. The conclusions of this study are consistent with the cultural capital theory in education. Policy and strategic management implications are discussed in light of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Under the background of Internet plus, the innovative entrepreneurship practice education pattern (IEPEP) in colleges aims to enhance students' basic literacy and independent innovation ability of IE. The single form of PEP in IEPEP only focuses on theoretical education, lacking practical exercises. The teachers of IE courses are mainly part-time, lacking professional teaching team and sufficient teachers. Written evaluation is used as the IEPEP evaluation standard. This lack of practical exercises leads to an imperfect evaluation model. For this reason, the overall idea in this paper is constituted from raising questions to theoretical research to model construction and then to empirical analysis. By constructing three patterns to optimize the talent training mechanism of IE. The first is to construct IEPE curriculum pattern through literature, investigation and data analysis. The second is to construct IEPE activity pattern through expert guidance, in-depth exchanges, and case studies. The third is to construct IEPE evaluation pattern through questionnaire surveys, online assessments, counseling talks, and data analysis. Based on the systematic sampling method, 398 valid questionnaires are analyzed for data based on the questionnaires filled by the categorized 560 students and with the help of SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 26.0 software. A conclusion that IEPEP has a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial intention and ability is confirmed through empirical analysis. This effectively guarantees the quality of IE talents, and provides IE talents for society and enterprises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Youth not in education, employment, or training (NEET) refers to the most vulnerable group in the transition from school to work. While much research focuses on institutional factors behind the NEET incidence, the current study approaches the problem of the NEET youth from the perspective of non-cognitive skills. For measuring non-cognitive skills, the Big Five personality characteristics (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) as well as grit were analyzed. The analysis was carried out using propensity score matching based on the data of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS HSE) for 2016. This study shows that the majority of young people in the NEET group come from the poorest families. Nearly half of the NEET youth are not only not working, but they are also not looking for a job either. The analysis revealed that NEET youth fall behind in different non-cognitive abilities, with statistically significant differences in conscientiousness, extraversion, and grit, as well as a greater severity of neuroticism.

Information technology has significantly influenced accounting and financial practices. This development was marked by several changes in the manual processing of accounting data into a computer accounting system with accounting software. While accurate online teaching materials exist, people still need to explain the logic behind using all the existing features and the related basic rules. This suggests that computer learning resources based on Accurate Educational accounting that discuss inventory could be developed further. This research aims to develop computer accounting teaching materials assisted by accurate online applications in an integrated manner with lesson plans, media, student worksheets, and assessment instruments. This research introduces an accurate online inventory-based inventory module, named Accurate Online, to help students to learn accounting computer material easier based on a scientific approach and problem-based learning. This research uses the Smith-Ragan model to test student responses to learning innovations and analyze their learning outcomes. The subjects in this study were 19 semester six students of the Accounting Education Study Program at PGRI Madiun University. This research develops learning innovations through lesson plans, modules, Student Worksheets, learning media, and evaluation instruments. The analysis results of the computer learning innovation process get very valid criteria with 95.42%, Lesson Plan 96.4%, worksheets 96%, learning media 92.5 %, and 96.25% evaluation instrument. Student responses to computer learning innovations for inventory module accounting based on Accurate Online get a practicality percentage of 87% in the practicality category, which is very practical and can be used without revision. Student learning outcomes have increased after participating in the Accurate Online-based accounting computer learning program. The value of the evaluation questions indicates the increase in student learning outcomes after learning is carried out using a structured learning program where 89% of students score above the Minimum Completeness Criteria.

In this article, the author continues the argument, that he has previously put forward (Budgell 2023), for an open and transparent use of data that already exists but is not collected, collated and analysed appropriately within the education system in Bulgaria. Currently, School Directors have at their disposal: 1. a longitudinal or trend analysis; 2. a comparative analysis within the school; 3. a comparative analysis across schools; and 4. an ipsative analysis, the assessment of pupils’ progress or value-added by the school. However, given: a. the nature of the pupil population; and b. the structure and organisation of the school system these techniques are of limited value without a detailed analysis of the State Matriculation Examinations. The author uses the prior attainment scores and the results from the State Matriculation Examinations for the pupils who left a Mathematics Grammar School in 2023 to illustrate the limitations of the techniques available to School Directors. Finally, the author proposes, in detail, the type of analysis that would take account of: i. the actual pupils who attend an individual schools; and j. the differences between the results of the subjects for which there is a State Matriculation Examination. He concludes that, it is only with this type of detailed analysis, that it is really possible for School Directors, the teachers and parents to know how well their school is performing.

As inherent in man, the evaluation process begins at the moment of our birth and accompanies us throughout our lives. The student's value system is formed during socialisation under the influence of various factors. Family, education, and school have a fundamental role in shaping, preserving, and changing values. It is necessary to know the learner's pre-existing values, what they represent in their behaviour, actions, and words. The student's value system is reflected in their perception and way of life; it determines their relationship with the world, reflecting in their behavioural norms, activities, moral rules they follow, Etc. In the following, I undertake a short presentation of the research on Hungarian young people in Romania with the aim of preparing a kind of chronological, a thematic overview of the implemented research. I will briefly present a couple of value sociology studies; therefore, it is not new knowledge but a thematic presentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In running schools in the new era, we should always keep in mind the original intention of educating people for the party, strengthen the position of educating people for the country, take cultivating people as the core and building morality as the foundation, and strive to cultivate new people of the times who shoulder the great task of national rejuvenation. “Farming and reading have a long history, and poetry and books have a long history”. The farming and reading education inherited for thousands of years has not only shaped China’s traditional cultural spirit, vision and pattern, but also become an important ideological resource for exploring the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics as an important cultural heritage. Therefore, school education should inherit the spirit of cultivation and reading, “cultivation” and “health preservation”, “reading” and “enlightenment”, and constantly improve and cultivate socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. This paper starts with the literature of farming and reading culture and farming and reading education, and discusses the current situation, causes and countermeasures of farming and reading education in schools. It is considered that there are two major problems in school farming and reading education: the lack of understanding and the dilemma of practice. The analysis shows that the value of farming and reading education is underestimated, the inheritance and innovation of farming and reading education is not enough, and the farming and reading education system is not established and improved. On this basis, based on constructivist learning theory, this paper designs the school farming and reading education system in the new era from three aspects: the design of farming and reading education content, the construction of environmental conditions and the evaluation mechanism, and finally puts forward targeted countermeasures and suggestions.

This article reports on a systematic review of literature on the experiences of substitute teachers, also known as casual or relief teachers. This occupational group are an essential part of school improvement efforts, allowing release time for other teachers to participate in professional learning, complete administrative duties, and attend to personal matters. Although a ubiquitous component of the teaching workforce, little is known about their work conditions, motivations, experiences, and support. This study involved a mixed-methods research synthesis approach. Peer-reviewed studies and dissertations that examined the experiences and needs of substitute teachers in primary/elementary, middle, and secondary/high schools were examined. The study found that, although substitute teachers are a heterogeneous group, their conditions and experiences are less than satisfactory, exacerbated by a lack of targeted support. Education systems need to consider professionalizing this occupational group further. In addition, systems need to develop policies and practices that improve substitute teachers' work.

Purpose: Knowledge management is not a new issue or concept. For hundreds of years, family business owners have been passing down their knowledge to their children. Professional masters teach their craft to their students with enthusiasm, and workers exchange ideas and knowledge in the workplace. In fact, it can be said that the concept of "knowledge is power" has evolved into the idea that "sharing knowledge is power" for quite some time. Based on this, the current research aims to investigate the exchange of knowledge among teachers participating in lesson study courses and its impact on innovative teaching in Khorramabad city. Method: This research is applied in terms of its purpose and uses descriptive-correlative methods for data collection and structural equations for analysis. The research population consists of 180 participants who took part in lesson study courses in Khorramabad city during the academic year 2021-2022. From this population, 118 participants were randomly selected as the statistical sample for the study, using the Karjesi and Morgan table. In order to gather respondents' opinions on knowledge exchange, the questionnaires from Ouakouak et al.'s research (2021) were utilized, and Alizadeh's questionnaire (2008) was employed to measure the variable of innovative teaching. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and SmartPLS software. Findings: The analysis of the respondents' demographic information revealed that 95 (80.51%) of the respondents were women and 23 (19.41%) were men. In terms of educational qualifications, 74 people (62.71%) had a bachelor's degree, 42 people (35.59%) had a master's degree, and 2 people (1.70%) had a doctorate degree. In terms of work experience, 65 people (55.09%) had less than 10 years of experience, 26 people (22.03%) had 11 to 20 years of experience, and 27 people (22.88%) had more than 21 years of experience. The analysis of the descriptive indices of the research variables revealed that the average scores for the receiver's openness to receive knowledge, receiver's openness to share knowledge, provider's knowledge sharing behavior, the receiver's knowledge utilization, and innovative teaching are 3.878, 3.725, 4.228, 3.975, and 4.384, respectively. The results of the structural equation modeling in the research indicated that the receiver's openness to receiving knowledge had a significant effect (0.292) on the provider's knowledge sharing behavior. The value of the t-statistic is 2.428. Therefore, with 95% confidence, we can conclude that the receiver's openness to receiving has a positive and significant effect on the provider's knowledge-sharing behavior. The impact of the receiver's willingness to share knowledge on the provider's knowledge-sharing behavior has been measured at 0.407. The value of the t-statistic is 3.808. Therefore, with 95% confidence, it can be said that the acceptance rate of the receiver's openness to share knowledge has a positive and significant effect on the provider's knowledge-sharing behavior. The impact of the provider's knowledge-sharing behavior on the receiver's knowledge utilization is 0.504. The value of the t-statistic is 7.572. Therefore, with 95% confidence, it can be said that the provider's knowledge sharing behavior has a positive and significant impact on the receiver's knowledge utilization. The impact of the provider's knowledge-sharing behavior on innovative teaching is 0.397. The value of the t-statistic is 4.011. Therefore, with 95% confidence, we can conclude that the provider's knowledge sharing behavior has a positive and significant impact on innovative teaching. The impact of the receiver's utilization of knowledge on innovative teaching is 0.251. The value of the t-statistic is 2.489. Therefore, with 95% confidence, it can be concluded that the receiver's utilization of knowledge has a positive and significant impact on innovative teaching. Conclusion: The findings of this study confirmed the significance of knowledge exchange and innovative teaching. Policymakers in the country's education system should be aware that the shift from "discovery-based innovation" to "learning-based innovation" requires the creation of interactive environments for generating, sharing, and utilizing employee knowledge. This is an effective approach to achieving the objectives outlined in the fundamental transformation document and fostering quality and innovation in the educational system. One of these interactive environments is lesson study courses, which can enhance the innovative behavior of employees. In fact, employees, as producers and consumers of knowledge, facilitate the process of knowledge management and play an important role in the primary processes of knowledge, namely creation, sharing, and use. Employees are the human capital of the organization and the creators of its intellectual capital. Therefore, managers should not only encourage employees to acquire the knowledge needed for innovation, but also to share their knowledge with others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the challenges faced by the education system in Ukraine, particularly in the aftermath of the Russian invasion.

This paper investigates the factors influencing the career decisions of Chinese college graduates. The study applied the experimental method, with a survey conducted among two groups of college graduates (Chinese and international students). The experiment involved 686 students (343 Chinese students and 343 international students) in their final year. The main criteria for career choices among Chinese students include motivation (76%), interest (62%), personal development (53%), aptitudes (48%), awareness of the profession (38%) and attitudes of their parents/instructors (72%). By contrast, international students chose personal development (81%), aptitudes (74%) and motivation (68%) among the criteria. A career guidance training programme has been developed in order to improve motivation and willingness of college graduates to make decisions about their careers. The practical value and research outlooks are based on the opportunities arising when determining the influence of cross-cultural characteristics on the choice of a profession in the course of exploring the motivation and willingness to make career decisions not just for college graduates but also for universities in China and other countries in a comparative context.

An education system is a framework that meets the educational needs of a particular target group. Education systems consist of different components and elements to provide effective education to the target group with specific educational needs. These components include the education system policy, education system administration, education structure and support services. For the effective functioning of an education system, it is necessary that all components collaborate. New challenges are constantly being posed to education systems, and changes in technology, the community, the target group and the curriculum are constantly occurring. To ensure effective teaching in the education situation, education depends on additional help from service providers which do not form part of the education system. These support services (additional assistance) are essential for the effective functioning of education and contribute to the effectiveness of teaching. The need for specific types of educational support services differs with respect to different education systems, as the needs of particular target groups may differ from one another. This study investigates educational support services for learners as an element of the education system in the BRICS member countries and identifies the best practices in the educational support services of these countries. The aim of the study derives from the fact that there have been concerns among various education authorities regarding support services that do not function optimally and do not meet the educational needs of teachers and learners, as well as teaching activities and structures. There is a lack of research on specifically the nature of the component "support services to learners in the BRICS countries". Therefore, the problem was addressed by using a comparative view of the education component of support services to learners in the BRICS countries in order to identify challenges and best practices and make recommendations to improve these support services to learners. The research was conducted using a qualitative research approach within the framework of the interpretivist research paradigm by using a document analysis as the method of data generation. Various types of documents were used, which had mainly been found through the use of the search engines Google Scholar and SAePublications, as well as books and academic journals. After careful study of the documents, all data relevant to the study were screened and categorised so that themes could be identified. The following themes were identified: inclusive education; assistance to learners employing the aid of medical and dental services; social services; and nutrition services. The BRICS member countries were selected as participating countries for the study, as all five member countries are involved in identifying their needs and establishing action plans to ultimately meet the educational needs of the target group.

The education system in Bangladesh is primarily derived from the British colonial legacy, imposing a secular philosophy despite a majority Muslim population. This article critically examines the roots and historical development of the education system in Bangladesh, discussing its basic structure and framework while presenting chronological narratives. The study seeks to comprehend prevailing trends by employing content analysis involving historical records, government documents, study reports, and expert opinions. The findings reveal a consistent neglect of religious education at all levels, lacking a foundation in Islamic philosophy. The study traces the curriculum’s evolution from the early Muslim era to current times. Despite efforts to incorporate Islamic education during the Pakistan period and the post-independence era, these initiatives largely faltered. Post-independence, the recommendations of various education commissions primarily reflect the intentions of ruling powers, lacking consistency and failing to incorporate universal values into education policy. The study advocates for a comprehensive review of education policies, curriculum frameworks, and textbooks, emphasizing the identification of gaps and the incorporation of moral and ethical values to foster the balanced growth of individuals.

With the strong support of national and local policies, the construction of general practice education system and personnel training have been developed in Guangdong Province for nearly 30 years. Since 1996, general practice education in Guangdong Province has gone through four stages, including exploration and start, vigorous growth, development and perfection, comprehensive development. Colleges and universities in Guangdong Province, represented by Guangzhou Medical University, have explored and established a multi-level, multi-path, multi-form and multi-objective general practice education system of treatment-prevention integration, with interconnected academy education, job-transfer training, standardized training, postgraduate education and continuing education, and a standardized training model of general practitioners based on "5+3" has been basically established. The pass rate of the provincial training certificate examination of general practice training students has reached more than 85%. In 2020, there were 4 general practitioners per 10 000 residents, meeting the national requirement of 3 general practitioners per 10 000 residents in 2020. With the purpose to analyze the current situation of the development of general practice education in Guangdong Province, this paper comprehensively summarized the experience and lessons of discipline construction and education training of general practice, broadened the paths and modes of the quality of general practice personnel training, put forward relevant suggestions, to provide policy ideas and reference basis for the rapid development of general practice education in Guangdong Province and even in China in the future.

We examine the experiences of LGBT+ people in education, which international research shows is characterised by a lack of sensitivity to gender and sexual minorities. We conducted a qualitative study involving 27 individual interviews with LGBT+ persons who attend or have attended primary, secondary and/or tertiary education in Slovenia. The analysis revealed that the typical experience entails a combination of hate and invisibility. The data show the all-encompassing influence of prejudice, which people mention in various situations. Less common are descriptions of protective factors, which are generally limited to peer support and the commitment of individual staff members. The lack of systemic solutions is a challenge that must be addressed in the future by developing opportunities for inclusive formal and hidden curricula and staff training.

The researcher focuses on the study about language education system in Indonesian Navy units. The research uses qualitative method. There are some problems found: the curricula that are still obsolete and temporary, the incompetent educators, lack of the standardized facilities, as well as the low intensity of cooperation. The education system of foreign languages needs to run well, so it can pass the qualified Indonesian Navy’s graduates. To achieve the expected Indonesian Navy personnel’s graduates, the language education system in Indonesian Navy institutions can be re-orientated and reformulated, by updating, establishing and composing the new curricula, managing the human resources by adding more educators and improving the professional development and providing more education opportunity, standardizing the facilities, such as classrooms, language laboratories and libraries, as well as cooperating with the other language education centers domestically and internationally. After reorientation of this, the writer finds the importance of the reformulating language education system in Indonesian Navy units. By reformulating it, it can result the competent graduates of Indonesian Navy personnel that can support the Resilience of Human Resources. As a result, the Resilience of Indonesian Navy personnel can support the readiness of Indonesian Navy duties, particularly in the field of naval diplomacy.

This study investigates the Social Character Education System at Pondok Pesantren Al-Qohhariyyah in Pacet, Cianjur Regency. The research method employed is qualitative descriptive, involving key informants such as the head of Madrasah Aliyah, the council of teachers, the head of the male boarding school, administrators, and students. Data was gathered through observation, interviews, and document analysis, utilizing triangulation. Findings indicate that the pesantren combines tradition and modern approaches in social character education. There are two main models: the Salafi pesantren, which maintains the teaching of classical texts, and the Khalafi pesantren, which incorporates general education into the madrasah curriculum. Character education is delivered through various methods like sorogan, wetonan, bandongan, and mudzakarah. Majelis ta'lim also engages the local community in religious education. This system positively impacts the formation of students' social character by integrating traditional and modern values, creating a dynamic and creative learning environment.

This study analyzes the establishment and development of higher education in the first autonomous region within the People’s Republic of China (PRC). After the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) in 1947, the regional leadership made efforts to develop the education sector. Improving literacy rates was a strategic goal for the development of the region and the entire country. The preparation of highly qualified personnel was also crucial for the accelerated development of the state. The novelty of this study lies in the utilization of original sources on the history of education in the PRC during its initial stages of construction. The author concludes that the establishment of the first higher education institution, the Pedagogical Institute of IMAR, met the needs of the region and stimulated the development of the entire educational system. In the early years of educational development in IMAR, special attention was given to the study of the Mongolian language and script, as well as the bilingual implementation of educational programs. This was necessary for the development of intercultural interaction and ideological consolidation among the population of IMAR.

Background Emotional intelligence is the self-perception related to identification and regulation of emotions. Several studies have been done among Indian teachers evaluating emotional intelligence in relation to demographic, professional and various psychological parameters, but the variety of scales, teacher types, and conflicting results makes it difficult to draw any meaningful conclusions from this heterogeneous data. The present work aims to synthesize the available data by both qualitative and quantitative analysis and is the first such attempt to include only Indian studies in this field. The main objectives were to determine the correlation of emotional intelligence with teachers’ health parameters and to study the gender difference in emotional intelligence. Methods After a thorough literature search in Google, Google scholar, Scopus, Web of science and Pubmed, fifty-five Indian studies were selected which empirically examined teachers’ emotional intelligence, either alone or in association with another parameter evaluating teachers’ psychological health and performance. After qualitative assessment of major findings, quantitative analysis was performed. Three separate meta-analysis were carried out. The first one with fifteen effect sizes among 3291 participants evaluated correlation with personal health parameters. The second with nineteen effect sizes in 4165 participants evaluated correlation with professional health parameters. The third with twenty-six studies involving 6005 participants assessed effect of gender. Results The results show that almost all studies have used a trait measure, teachers’ emotional intelligence is positively correlated with both personal and professional health parameters and gender has no effect on emotional intelligence. Conclusion Major limitations are a very high degree of heterogeneity of the data, incomplete description of the scales, inadequate randomization and small sample sizes in many studies. The results indicate the importance of emotional intelligence in both personal and professional life of teachers and no effect of gender preparing a solid base for future research.
