Sustainable water supply is one of the most important issues related to global climate change in Türkiye. The government, local authorities and universities have developed strategic action plans to raise public awareness about the sustainability of water supply. In this study, which was conducted in Çorum province in Türkiye in 2021 and 2022, the population of the study consisted of teachers who belong to the Ministry of National Education. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence teachers' sustainable water consumption behaviors (SWCB). Data were collected from 380 teachers. Within the framework of value belief norm theory, a structural equation model and path analysis were used to identify the factors that influence teachers' SWCB. According to the research results, the direct effects of biospheric–altruistic values, egoistic values and ascription of responsibility on personal norms and the indirect effects of egoistic values were also significant. Conclusion: in order to develop personal norms, which are the antecedents of SWCB, biospheric–altruistic values and egoistic values should first be included in the curriculum as part of values education. In this context, it is very important for sustainability to train teachers on water footprint to improve awareness of consequences and ascription of responsibility. As a result of this research, it can be said that biospheric–altruistic values orientation must be higher than egoistic values orientation to achieve sustainability, and both must have a significant impact on personal norms, which is crucial in terms of the three dimensions of sustainability.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the mediating role of school effectiveness in the relationship between transformational leadership and workplace exclusion. The sample of the study consisted of 410 teachers working in primary, secondary and high schools in Bolu/Türkiye province center in the 2023–2024 academic year. Correlational design was used in the study and path analysis was used to reveal the predictive relationships between variables. As a result of the study, it was seen that the hypotheses put forward in line with the model put forward were confirmed. In this context, it was concluded that transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on school effectiveness (Hypothesis 1), school effectiveness has a significant negative effect on workplace exclusion (Hypothesis 2), transformational leadership has a significant negative effect on workplace exclusion (Hypothesis 3) and finally school effectiveness has a mediating role in the effect of transformational leadership on workplace exclusion (Hypothesis 4). In the context of the results, suggestions were made such as providing in-service courses for school administrators on transformational leadership and school effectiveness, preventing exclusion at work by giving teachers the opportunity to develop themselves and participate in the decisions taken.

Teacher agency includes the ability of teachers to make meaningful decisions, take action, and influence in their professional fields. This qualitative study seeks to understand the relationship between teachers' habits of mind and their teacher agency by examining the nuances and issues that contribute to teacher agency within an inquiry physics lesson. Using qualitative heuristic study methods, data was collected through a retrospective verbal report and an in-depth interview with 8 physics teachers. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis, pattern and themes were identified that explain the experiences, perceptions and behaviours that support teacher agency. The findings suggest that teacher agency is a multi-faceted phenomenon that involves personal beliefs, institutional structure, professional development and collaborative opportunities. This study described teacher professional agency in four dimensions that are; being professional competence in the productive steps of inquiry lessons, inquiry pedagogy as a sign to create sense of professional purpose to maintain inquiry learning, updating teaching material and resources to maintain inquiry learning with the changes of educational system, and coping with the transformation of educational system. These dimensions elucidating the issues and factors that foster or hinder teacher agency, shedding light on the complexities and nuances inherent in this construct. This study supports teacher learning within the context of inquiry teaching and learning, empowering and supporting teacher professional development in inquiry teaching and learning. These understanding has important implications for educational policies and professional development initiatives, as well as school leadership. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims to examine how the teacher is represented in contemporary Hungarian novels. Do the novels reflect the teacher’s life problems from a social perspective? Are the teacher’s problems given the same importance in literature that they have in society? In today’s society, what are the most important changes the teacher’s role has gone through, and how are they reflected? The article aims to answer these questions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research goal is twofold: to articulate neuro-mathematics with the extended theory of mathematical connections that uses onto-semiotic approach tools and to explore the connections established by a teacher and his student when solving a problem about the volume of two boxes, one of toothpaste and the other of tomato. This research was developed in two stages: the theories were articulated assuming concordances and complementarities, highlighting the notion of connection, and a context of reflection was considered carried out in three phases where the participants were selected, participant observation was carried out in the classroom during solving a problem and then analyzing the data with the new tool to explore mathematical and neuromathematical connections. The findings present the mathematical connections established by the teacher and the student of meaning, feature, procedural, different representations (alternate, equivalent, and from a horizontal mathematization view), and part-whole, as well as neuromathematical connections of: recognition of terms and symbols; visual perception, spatial skills and motor coordination; association of mathematical concepts and formulas; intermediate calculations and unit conversion; solve operations step by step and understand the process; verification and conclusion, activated in the brain areas linked to each mathematical practice sequentially.

Teacher professional performance is crucial for schools to improve students' academic performance and success. However, research on this issue still needs to be completed, including the factors influencing it. Therefore, this study focuses on investigating the role of interpersonal communication skills (ICS) in mediating cultural intelligence (CI) and emotional intelligence (EI) affect teachers' professional performance. The participants are 455 Indonesian teachers selected by accidental sampling from three provinces in Indonesia. Data was collected by distributing Likert scale questionnaires and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) performed by LisRel 8.80. All hypotheses were supported (significant). It means CI, EI, and ICS are related to teachers' professional performance; CI and EI link to teachers' ICS; and ICS mediates CI and EI affect teachers' professional performance. This evidence promotes a new model of CI and EI affecting teachers' professional performance via ICS. It provides a theoretical contribution, and practical implication requires critical discussion among researchers, scientists, and practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explores the relationship between teachers' entrepreneurial behaviors and their creativity-nurturing behaviors, with a particular emphasis on sustainability in education. While previous studies have typically examined entrepreneurship and creativity as separate concepts, often focusing on their individual dimensions, this study underscores the significance of integrating entrepreneurial and creative competencies to promote sustainable educational practices. By highlighting how teachers' entrepreneurial and creative skills contribute to sustainable education, this study addresses the broader impact these competencies have on meeting the evolving needs and expectations of students, families, and society. This approach supports the development of a more resilient and adaptive education system that can thrive over time. The research involved 1396 classroom teachers from the Mersin province of Turkey. Analysis of the data revealed a strong positive correlation between teachers' entrepreneurial behaviors and their creativity-nurturing behaviors, indicating that teachers who exhibit higher levels of entrepreneurial traits are more likely to engage in practices that foster creativity or that teachers who exhibit higher levels of creativity nurturing behaviors are more likely to engage in entrepreneurial practices among their students. Thus, the importance of the high-level relationship between entrepreneurial behaviors and creativity-enhancing behaviors in improving sustainability in education has been revealed. This study highlights the need to integrate entrepreneurial skills into teaching practices to support a sustainable educational framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to examine the social skill levels of fifth-grade students and to reveal the function of the hidden curriculum in the development of these skills. The study was conducted with fifth-grade students in a city center in eastern Turkey. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. Data were initially collected using a social skills assessment scale developed by the researcher. Observations, as well as interviews with teachers, students, and parents, were conducted in the schools identified as having the highest and lowest social skill levels. Computer-assisted analysis programs were used for analyzing the quantitative and qualitative data. The study identified the functions of the hidden curriculum in the school, teacher, and student dimensions during the process of acquiring social skills. It was found that there are both similarities and differences in the hidden curricula of the two schools identified as having low and high social skill levels, and that the hidden curriculum has both positive and negative functions in the process of social skill acquisition. Based on these findings, it was concluded the functions of the hidden curriculum in the process of developing social skills should be considered, and that further studies should be conducted on this topic.

This study investigated student's knowledge and understanding of mechanical stress including strain, and the relation between mechanical stress and strain, using material created by the authors of this text. It also investigated what the students perceived helpful for learning. The material was a complete laboratory setup and was intended to be simple and visual, including a digital part. During the studies in a Swedish upper secondary school, students enrolled in the technology programme took a general introductory course in solid mechanics. The students' participation in our study was composed of four classes. The study was implemented by answering a questionnaire prior to laboratory and a similar one after the laboratory, 85 out of 107 students answered both questionnaires. A thematic analysis was applied on the material, resulting in six thematic groups based on the students' previous knowledge and how much they have learned from the laboratory. To find correlations between the thematic groups, classes, and what the students perceived important for learning, a One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with multiple comparison post hoc test was performed. A significant difference between the class and the thematic groups was found (p<0.05). Another significant difference was found between the teacher and the class the students were in (p<0.001). This study showed that the teacher was important for the students' perception of solid mechanics during this laboratory and that the interactive lab description played less roll. The teacher's importance depended on what class the students were in. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. Pedagogical education in our country has been in the ever reforming process. Being subject to current realities, the nature, goals, and state and public expectations from pedagogical education are to be reviewed. There was a similar process at the break of pedagogical education in Russia. In this regard, historical genesis of pedagogical education in Russia in the 19th – early 20th centuries provides an opportunity to analyze some challenging issues facing the country over the considered period, to specify the patterns for the formation and development of pedagogical education, and to designate the peculiarities thereof. Purpose. The article aims to analyze the formation and development of pedagogical education in Russia in the 19th – early 20th centuries. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis is the key research method. In addition, historical-structural, and comparative and contrastive methods were used to conduct a systemic analysis of the development of pedagogical education in Russia in the 19th – early 20th centuries. The article is based on the evidence from archival records, research material data, regulatory legal acts, and popular science fiction of the reviewed period. Results. The first extensive actions in the development of pedagogical education in Russia were taken in the 18th century. Since that time and throughout the 19th century, there was a gradual advance in pedagogical education. In addition to the main subjects, there were some disciplines specific to the pedagogical content knowledge (didactics, pedagogy, teaching methods, psychology, etc.) in the curriculum cycle for future teachers. First-ever domestic methodological guidelines for individual subjects emerged in the country. In Russia, there predominately existed male pedagogical education. According to the archival research and literature review, the country experienced an acute teacher shortage during the 19th century. To eliminate it, pedagogical departments were established at district Imperial Universities in Russia in 1804; in 1816, the Main Pedagogical Institute was founded to form the basis for other pedagogical institutions; in 1860, two-year pedagogical courses appeared at the Imperial Universities; in 1876, the issue regarding female pedagogical education was brought up, which led to the creation of the first pedagogical institute for women in 1903. In order to enhance the prestige of the teaching profession in Russia in the 19th – early 20th centuries, the state equated it to the public service, wherein each teaching position corresponded to a certain rank with all the privileges and state support; compensated for the costs of housing, lighting, heating, and educational literature; supported teachers’ families and encouraged childbirth among teachers and lecturers; provided pensions and gave the opportunity to receive awards that granted additional financial support. Having analyzed the problems of developing pedagogical education in the 19th – early 20th centuries, there are similar problems observed in modern Russia. Therefore, nowadays, it is vital to consider the methods and state initiatives for supporting and raising the prestige of the teaching profession of that time. In this regard, the relevance of the presented research is beyond doubt.

Background. The article addresses the issue of developing reflective skills of future teachers during their university training. The object of the research is students' reflective skills determining their disposition to professional pedagogical activity. The purpose of the article is to examine the dynamics of reflective skills development of students majoring in pedagogics through their reflective activities during the learning process. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research is reflective, competence-based and system approaches. The author used the following methods: comparative analysis of pedagogical facts on the research topic, testing, pedagogical experiment, and survey. The collection of empirical data was carried out by using various pedagogical tools such as the questionnaire for self-understanding in the process of communication (by William Stephenson); the experimental technique of cooperative reflection (by T.F. Usheva and others); the method of activity analysis (by S.D. Neverovich and others), and the questionnaire for individual manifestations of reflection by A.V. Karpov. The study included 73 students of pedagogical specialties of Irkutsk State University. Results. The results of the study demonstrate positive dynamics of developing reflective skills of students majoring in pedagogics. Organizing the learning process based on reflective activity allowed to develop personal reflective skills in the beginning. The next stage included developing intellectual, communicative and cooperative types of reflective skills. The process of developing cooperative reflective skills turned out to be the hardest to start. Mainly, this process is complicated by problems in reaching agreement of students' activity positions and planning their collective actions. The dynamics of developing reflective skills does not depend on the stage of higher education (studying for bachelor's or master's degree). Students of every stage of higher education demonstrated the same trajectory of developing the four types of reflective skills.

Background. Teachers are often the first to encounter bullying among school learners, and their intervention can contribute in many ways to stopping and overcoming bullying. The teacher’s identification, attribution and reaction to bullying depending on its type contribute to the effectiveness of addressing the bullying situation. Purpose. The article aims to identify the level of school teachers’ professional competence (in terms of “know” and “be able to” levels), as regards prevention and avoidance of bullying by its main types within the system “pupil – pupil (group of pupils)” at school. Materials and methods. The authors carried out diagnostics of anti-bullying competence decomposed into levels by means of testing and case solving by types of bullying, involving 86 teachers representing all schools in Naberezhnye Chelny chosen from the cumulative body of teachers, evenly distributed by age, length of service and category. Results. The teachers’ anti-bullying competence was diagnosed to be at low and average levels, not exceeding 60% of the formed competence. The teachers’ knowledge of bullying and how to respond to it was better formed than the corresponding skills. The success of anti-bullying actions was directly proportional to the levels of maturity of the cognitive and activity components of anti-bullying competence. Teachers proved to be most knowledgeable and efficient in the prevention and prophylaxis of physical and economic bullying in the school environment and least knowledgeable and effective when it concerned factual psychological- and cyber-bullying.

The article substantiates the relevance of the problem, provides a theoretical analysis of scientific sources on the concepts of “values” and “professional values of a modern teacher,” and defines their role in ensuring the quality of higher education during wartime. It was found that teaching in wartime has become a challenge for all the participants in the educational process and a real test for higher education institutions, which enable young people to receive not only knowledge but also psychological support, and maintain a sense of belonging to the Ukrainian community. Ukrainian educators demonstrate lessons of resilience, struggle, and victory to the world daily. Due to their work, Ukrainian youth can continue learning despite numerous challenges and threats. Ensuring access to quality education at all levels has become a priority of state educational policy. This direction includes creating conditions for continuous learning, developing new models of the educational process, supporting teachers and students, and providing access to innovative technologies and educational materials. It is emphasized that the professional values of teachers have gained particular significance in Ukraine's higher education system. Their activities during the war focus on training specialists who uphold and affirm the values of Ukrainian statehood. Teachers not only educate the new generation but also strengthen belief in the future, inspiring active citizenship, readiness to defend their values, and build a peaceful society. Conclusions are drawn that the modern teacher possesses values that determine the success of their professional activities and ensure the quality of higher education. The main values include: respect for the dignity and rights of higher education students, academic integrity, continuous professional growth, innovation and creativity, collaboration and partnership, empathy, and social responsibility; determination, etc. It is worth noting that emotional resilience and balance are crucial for teachers working in wartime conditions.

The article presents the significance of economic education in a person’s life and the need for it from an early age. The stage of development from which education on the basics of economy should start is the preschool age (3-6 years). The age of the ancestors, the initial stage of the child’s consumer socialization, during which its effects and ideas about the world of consumption are shaped. The consumer behavior of preschool children is determined by parents, who can use the purchasing process in the upbringing process. This issue is very relevant, since it constitutes an integral part of each person’s life and it’s also a subject of interest in many fields of social sciences, each of which introduces a different view, hence it’s multidimensional nature. The essence and significance of the process of economic education, including equipping children with knowledge about economics as well as basic ability of its usage in certain life situations were presented based on the research of recent publications collected from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The article points out the existence of tools that could be used in the methodology of preschool teacher’s work. The offered examples taken from pedagogic practice could help teachers with implementing methods of efficient economical education in the field of preschool pedagogy. The findings presented in the article point towards the need for economic education of preschool children and show its integral and timeless nature. One of the tasks of economic education in kindergarten is to shape the foundations of economic culture, which emphasizes the relationship between economic education and morality.

Abstract Teachers need to be more competent in understanding and implementing the value of energy-saving ethics, which affects the process of instilling its value in students. In fact, there are many subjects in Indonesia's national and religious education curriculum that contain the value of energy-saving ethics. The purpose of this research is to design a training and competency development program for Islamic school (madrasah) teachers integrated with the boarding school system (pesantren). The design stages included needs analysis, textbook analysis for Islamic Religious Education, Science, and Language in grades VII-IX, competency analysis, and curriculum and syllabus design. At each stage, we conducted interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers, energy conservation instructor, curriculum development experts, and linguists. We also carry out benchmarking based on the curriculum and syllabus documents developed by training institutions. The research results led us to design a training program that emphasizes the ability to internalize religious ethical value messages related to energy-saving learning. The implementation uses a place-based education approach and a blended learning format that is highly flexible in terms of resource availability for teachers and schools. We discuss the implications of the research results, emphasize the use of local green energy issues and resources as learning resources, and establish partnerships with universities and human resource development institutions, as well as local teacher learning communities in the energy field.

Abstract Background Burnout is usually defined as a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that affects people in various professions (e.g. physicians, nurses, teachers). The consequences of burnout involve decreased motivation, productivity, and overall diminished well-being. The machine learning-based prediction of burnout has therefore become the focus of recent research. In this study, the aim was to detect burnout using machine learning and to identify its most important predictors in a sample of Hungarian high-school teachers. Methods The final sample consisted of 1,576 high-school teachers (522 male), who completed a survey including various sociodemographic and health-related questions and psychological questionnaires. Specifically, depression, insomnia, internet habits (e.g. when and why one uses the internet) and problematic internet usage were among the most important predictors tested in this study. Supervised classification algorithms were trained to detect burnout assessed by two well-known burnout questionnaires. Feature selection was conducted using recursive feature elimination. Hyperparameters were tuned via grid search with 10-fold cross-validation. Due to class imbalance, class weights (i.e. cost-sensitive learning), downsampling and a hybrid method (SMOTE-ENN) were applied in separate analyses. The final model evaluation was carried out on a previously unseen holdout test sample. Results Burnout was detected in 19.7% of the teachers included in the final dataset. The best predictive performance on the holdout test sample was achieved by random forest with class weigths (AUC = 0.811; balanced accuracy = 0.745, sensitivity = 0.765; specificity = 0.726). The best predictors of burnout were Beck’s Depression Inventory scores, Athen’s Insomnia Scale scores, subscales of the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire and self-reported current health status. Conclusions The performances of the algorithms were comparable with previous studies; however, it is important to note that we tested our models on previously unseen holdout samples suggesting higher levels of generalizability. Another remarkable finding is that besides depression and insomnia, other variables such as problematic internet use and time spent online also turned out to be important predictors of burnout.

Teachers, while enjoying the "benefits" of emerging technologies represented by artificial intelligence, are also suffering the pain of those benefits.Among them, the pain of alienation brought by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence is a specific manifestation. Teachers' sense of alienation from emerging technologies in the age of intelligence can be summarized into three aspects in terms of emerging technologies: teacher's sense of powerlessness, teacher's anxiety, and teacher's sense of self-alienation. The organism philosophy holds that human society is a combination of artificial, social, spiritual, and living organisms and the four mutually reinforce and constrain each other. Based on the perspective of organism philosophy, this paper examines the reasons for the "alienation" of teachers from new technologies in the age of intelligence and finds the following reasons: First, the development of social organisms lags behind that of artificial organisms; Second, artificial organism obscures teachers' spiritual organisms; Third, social organisms inhibit teachers' spiritual and livingorganisms. To effectively mitigate this issue, it is imperative to optimize the mechanism of social organisms and enhance the corresponding nature between social organisms and artificial organisms; to showcase the value and strength of the teacher's spiritual organisms, and to investigate the internal coupling point between the teacher's spiritual organisms and the artificial organisms; toactivate the vitality of teachers' spiritual and living organisms by utilizing the elements of "function", "power", and "responsibility"of the social organisms.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the difference in évaluation practices in teaching from one teacher to another, depending on the scientific qualification of physical education and sports teachers in secondary education in Algeria. For this purpose, we relied on the descriptive-analytical approach, in which we distributed a questionnaire on assessment practices in teaching to a research sample of 416 physical education and sports teachers in the secondary stage who were selected randomly. After collecting the results and processing them statistically, it was found that the assessment practices in teaching among physical education and sports teachers in secondary education in Algeria differ from one teacher to another depending on the variable of scientific qualification. Consequently, the study recommended the need for qualitative and comprehensive training for physical education and sports teachers in the field of modern assessment and its strategies.

Introduction Numerous studies of school-based smoking prevention programs (SSPPs) exist; however, most have been conducted from the students' perspective, and insufficient research has explored teachers' perceptions. Our study aimed to identify factors affecting overall satisfaction and operational status from the perspective of teachers participating in the SSPP. Methods This is a cross-sectional study analyzing data from a survey regarding the operation of an SSPP conducted by the Korea Health Promotion Institute in 2022. The study sample comprised 669 teachers involved in the SSPP: 215 from elementary schools, 212 from middle schools, and 242 from high schools. To identify factors influencing teachers’ overall satisfaction, independent variables were categorized into three types of factors: personal, school, and teacher perceptions. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed for each factor to test the independent association. Results For elementary school teachers, as the necessity of smoking prevention and cessation education (β=0.292; 95% CI: 0.182–0.382) increased, the overall satisfaction with the operation of the SSPP significantly improved. Similarly, for middle school teachers, as the necessity of smoking prevention and cessation education (β=0.231; 95% CI: 0.104–0.336) increased, the overall satisfaction significantly improved. Conversely, for high school teachers, the effectiveness (β=0.347; 95% CI: 0.184–0.520) was the variable that significantly improved overall satisfaction with the SSPP operation. The variables affecting teacher satisfaction across all school levels were the necessity of smoking prevention and cessation education, the effectiveness of the SSPP, and its impact on smoking cessation among smoking students, all of which belonged to the teacher perceptions factor. Conclusions Smoking education in schools requires teachers to play a crucial role. Among participating teachers, overall satisfaction with SSPP operations and the influencing factors differed according to school level, highlighting the importance of careful consideration to establish a more effective operational environment tailored to each school level.

The paper considers the theme of tutorship, which is one of the cross-cutting issues in Konjaku Monogatari-shū, a 12th century collection of setsuwa didactic tales. The authors reveal what types of tales are chosen for the collection and in which manner they are recited, from the legends about Buddha Shakyamuni himself to the stories of common laity skilled in some art. Buddha Shakyamuni himself, the teacher of all teachers, also studies, and, at the same time, his teachers act as his students, which shows the continuity and infinity of the chain of interdependent emergence of things. Buddha sets an example for all other teachers in that his whole life is mentoring. He helps everyone with whom he interacts to get rid of illusions, even in those moments when he is not directly interpreting his teachings. In all tales, the relations of a master and his disciple are seen as conditioned by the law of retribution, they are very close and intimate; the two people must be congenial in talents and needs to be in such relations, be it in the area of transmitting the Buddhist Law, or merely training in some art. The theme of continuity of tradition, transmission of Buddha’s teaching is very important for Konjaku. It is discussed from different points of view in all three sections of collection – the Indian, Chinese, and Japanese ones. The timeless chain of masters and disciples is formed, and every participant – a link of this chain – should be ready to receive the Law, to become a disciple and, in time, a master. Following the pattern set by Buddha, in some tales, a master and a disciple can exchange their roles, in other ones, the disciple is not a person, but a whole nation. There are also stories about a supernatural being, for instance, a ghost or a god, becoming a teacher. In some cases, the disciple is a character assigned to display wisdom of his master. The ways in which wisdom is imparted can also vary widely, with some stories specifically emphasizing the unexpected actions of mentors, through which their students experience first-hand what they had previously been unable to understand through the efforts of mind. Personal aspects of master–disciple communication are also examined in Konjaku, and examples of bad relationships are provided as well.

Abstract Background Norovirus gastroenteritis outbreaks were common in schools and kindergartens and were more related to faculty knowledge, attitude, and practice level. Gastroenteritis outbreaks caused by norovirus in educational institutions were the prominent cause of Public Health Emergency Events in China. This study aimed to explore the transformation in the contribution of KAP items related to outbreak prevention before and after intervention and the impact of demography factors on the intervention. Methods This study sampled 1095 kindergarten and 1028 school staff in Shenzhen, China. We created a questionnaire consisting of 35 items in 4 parts, and each item was rated on a scale of 1–5 according to the accuracy. Univariate analysis of non-parametric tests and binary logistic regression were used to estimate the score difference on demographic characteristics, each item and KAP. The odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence and intervals (CI) for the association between statistical indicators were mainly used to explain the effects before and after intervention. Results Overall, 98.72% and 74.9% of the kindergarten and school participants were female, and all respondents had the highest scores difference of practice. Following intervention, univariate analysis indicated that primary school and female respondents achieved higher knowledge scores. Staff age beyond 35 (OR = 0.56, CI:0.34–0.92; OR = 0.67, CI:0.50–0.90) and with more than ten years of service (OR = 0.58, CI:0.36–0.91; OR = 0.38, CI:0.17–0.84) demonstrated a significantly lower post-intervention score for attitude and practice in both kindergartens and schools. The staff members exhibited a general lack of familiarity with the transmission of aerosols and the seasonal patterns of NoVs diarrhea pandemics. Item analysis revealed that kindergarten staff aged 26 and above demonstrated superior performance in terms of the efficacy of medical alcohol for inactivation (OR = 1.93, CI:1.13–3.31) and management strategies for unexplained vomiting among students (OR = 1.97, CI:1.21–3.18). Private school personnel displayed more significant improvement in their practices following educational interventions. School administrators' negative attitudes were primarily evident in their perspectives on morning inspections (OR = 0.11, CI:0.05–0.84). Conclusions The potential negative impact of faculty age on NoVs-related knowledge can be mitigated by the positive attitudes fostered through seniority. Furthermore, it is imperative to urgently address the lack of knowledge among administrators, and the identification and treatment of vomiting symptoms should be emphasized as crucial aspects of school prevention strategies. Therefore, education authorities should implement comprehensive public health interventions in the future.

Background. The theory of stigma was popularized through research by sociologists M. Seeman and E. Goffman in the mid-1960s. The theoretical aspects of stigmatization presented in these works have made it possible to disseminate their results to different professions, including the teaching profession, and to construct a number of theoretical models of the processes of stigmatization of teachers. The component composition of such models is substantively based on theoretical studies carried out in the works of J.B. Pryor and G.D. Reeder. Research of this kind makes a significant contribution to stigma theory in terms of understanding that the processes of stigmatization of the educator’s personality can take different directions and how they are multidimensional; Societal perceptions of the teaching profession influence the level of stigmatization of the profession; acceptance of the stigma by the educator itself may result from an understanding of the social devaluation of the profession; Actors in a stigmatized pedagogical environment (such as family and friends) are at risk of social stigmatization; social institutions can perpetuate or exacerbate the stigmatized status of the teaching profession. Purpose. The article is aimed at presenting the theory of stigmatization of the teaching profession, as well as the development of an appropriate model and the analysis of its components, giving it qualitative certainty, reducing the risks of stigmatization and enhancing the value of the professional activity of the teachers Materials and methods. The practical and heuristic value of the study is that its findings broaden the existing understanding of the mechanisms of stigmatization and offer a productive tool for addressing the stigmatization of teaching professions in modern education, provide a vision of the key aspects to be further explored in this and related areas. The study used methods of comparative pedagogy, modeling method. Results. Based on the analysis of the scientific and methodical literature on the problem of stigmatization of individual professions, we proposed a model reflecting the basic concepts of the processes of stigmatization of the teaching profession in the field of education. The model identified the following main components: social stigma, self-stigma, associative stigma, structural stigma, primary and secondary personality relationships of the educator and learner. Social stigma is a key component of stigmatizing the teaching profession and underpins the subsequent components we have identified in this model. They also summarized the materials and highlighted the provisions that should be included in the theory describing the processes of stigmatization in education. This contributes to reducing the influence of the stigma formed in relation to the educational process or the profession of the teacher, and can have a positive influence on the status of the teacher, his professional identity and relationship with the students.

Background. The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that people with disabilities face many problems throughout their lives related to the lack of integration into many spheres of society. The problem of disability in its most serious aspects is closely related to the emergence of many social obstacles, due to which people with disabilities cannot actively participate in public life, since leisure and culture, everyday life and production, as well as social services, in a structural sense, are not adapted to the needs that sick people have. The authors prove that for people with disabilities, psychological and pedagogical support is necessary for their full inclusion in the educational process and public life. Purpose - theoretical and empirical substantiation of the content of psychological and pedagogical support for the preparation of participants of the Abilimpix competition and the development of a program of psychological and pedagogical support for the preparation of participants of the Abilimpix competition. Materials and methods. The main research method is psychological and pedagogical analysis. Empirical methods were used as an element of the evidence base of the theoretical propositions put forward. The article is based on a set of sources of psychological, pedagogical, methodological and normative literature on the problem under study. Results. Psychological and pedagogical support of inclusive education is a specially organized process aimed at creating safe conditions, maintaining health and developing adaptive capabilities of people with disabilities. Inclusive support in vocational education is not just the integration of students with special educational needs into the educational process, but the creation of special conditions for the psychological comfort and success of such students. Mandatory conditions for support are taking into account the individual characteristics and educational needs of students with disabilities, as well as prevention and prevention of possible problems that arise both in the process of interaction with society and in the educational process. Comprehensive study support for students with disabilities is one of the important requirements for the organization of the educational process for the disabled and people with disabilities. Comprehensive support includes: tutor support; pedagogical support; psychological and pedagogical support. The experience of inclusive support in vocational education shows that psychological and pedagogical support is included in various aspects of the educational process - in extracurricular, educational activities and, in particular, psychological and pedagogical support for participation in professional skills competitions, where students with disabilities show their skills in the professions they are learning. Conducting professional skill contests for students with disabilities gives students the opportunity to evaluate their capabilities and abilities, demonstrate their professional knowledge and skills, increase professional motivation, students increase self-esteem, actively form professional interest in their chosen business, increase the level of socialization, which, in turn, allows them to adapt more effectively to independent life to occupy a niche in the labor market. The main problems of support, according to teachers, are the lack of experience in inclusive support and low motivation of students with disabilities to participate in the Abilimpics competition. Among the psychological barriers of the contestants, the fear of failure, self-doubt and fear of public speaking are dominant.

In the education process, the person in direct communication with all the stakeholders and the implementer of the process is the teacher. The commitment of teachers to their profession has an important place in achieving the goals of education. As such, it is substantial to specify the variables that are related to and affect it to improve professional commitment. The concepts of teachers' motivation and job satisfaction have occupied a very important place in the literature in recent years. Determining the relationship between these two features and teachers' professional commitment will provide practical benefits for the educational process. The study investigated the relationship between job satisfaction and motivation of teachers with their professional commitment and their effect on it. The research, conducted with a correlational survey design, was carried out with 555 teachers from different school types and branches working in schools in different districts of Erzurum. Data were collected through the Professional Commitment Scale, the Job Satisfaction Scale, and the Teacher Motivation Scale. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) were used to analyze data. The results showed that teachers' professional commitment was positively related on motivation sub-dimensions and job satisfaction. Also, it was designated that job satisfaction and the sub-dimensions of motivation, "professional satisfaction and personal development" and "school management," were significant predictors of professional commitment. Considering the findings and limitations of the study, some suggestions were presented.

The article examines the problem of the teacher’s professional growth due to continuous selfeducation and personal development in the conditions of martial law. The aim of the article is to outline the pathways of self-educational activities for teachers and the approaches to enhancing the professional level of educators, implemented at Alfred Nobel University under martial law conditions. In the course of the research, methods of analogy, retrospective and semantic analysis, SWOT analysis, generalization, and specification of scientific principles and the regulatory framework related to teacher self-education were employed. A SWOT analysis of interpretations of the concept of “self-education” was conducted, and it was found that self-education is a necessary component of professional activity which is determined by social order and is a factor in the personal and professional growth of a specialist. Emphasis is placed on self-education of the teacher as the leading form of improvement of pedagogical skill and professional competence, which consists in assimilation, renewal, dissemination and deepening of knowledge, generalization of experience through purposeful, systematic self-education activities aimed at self-development and self-improvement of the individual, satisfaction of personal interests and objective needs of the educational institution. It was found that the conditions of the martial law in Ukraine and changes in educational orientations made corrections both in the content of teachers’ self-education and in the forms and types of their self-education activities. Some approaches to raising the professional level of a teacher, which were implemented at Alfred Nobel University under martial law conditions, namely acquiring competencies to preserve and restore mental health, providing psychological support to participants in the educational process, improving information competence, implementing effective ways to improve the quality of education in online learning, and mastering new learning/teaching methods, are considered. The content of the developed and implemented comprehensive program of care for human mental health, including a marathon of online meetings with domestic specialists and lecturers from European countries, aimed at mastering the competencies to ensure one’s own psychological health and improve the psycho-emotional state of higher education students in wartime conditions, is disclosed. The expediency of particular directions of development has been substantiated including teachers’ mastering various software, the ability to work on various educational platforms, and the use of interactive applications; cooperation and interaction with domestic and foreign higher education institutions in order to gain experience for the further implementation of the best European practices in the educational process; internships, participation in international projects, thanks to which teachers found and implemented effective ways to improve the quality of education in online learning, and mastered new methods of learning/ teaching. The feasibility of implementing special measures to support the self-educational activities of teachers under martial law conditions has been confirmed, with a focus on the targeted development of key professional competencies related to continuous professional self-development. The conclusions emphasise the need for purposeful self-education of the teacher, thanks to which a new invaluable experience of providing quality education in wartime conditions is formed.

This study adopted a qualitative research design to investigate teachers' views on lifelong learning. The sample consisted of 30 teachers from different branches. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide. The data were analyzed using content analysis. Participants viewed lifelong learning as a process not limited to schools. They also associated it with all kinds of learning activities and personal growth. They believed lifelong learning was necessary for technological advances, social change, and high quality of life. They stated that the goals of lifelong learning were accessing educational opportunities, increasing knowledge and skills, and transforming students into qualified people. They noted that motivation, education systems, and social and cultural changes affected lifelong learning.

This study aims to examine how English professors perceive adopting project-based learning and examine the difficulties they encounter when doing so in various colleges. All the research subjects used four sources of English language education study programs. The study included all instructors who had used project-based learning in their classes. A questionnaire was used to gather quantitative data for this investigation. The study's findings indicate that English teachers positively view project-based learning. Teachers are eager to integrate Project-Based Learning if they have a favourable opinion quickly. The challenges were finding resources to help students with their projects and running out of time to finish them. The following suggestions urge more significant investigation into potential solutions to overcome project-based learning's adoption challenges, particularly in teaching English.

Background. The current situation of society development is characterized by the emergence of new external stimuli as the challenges generating contradictions and barriers in the education system on the one hand, and on the other hand-expanding horizons, prospects, resources and meta-resources for the development of personality of subjects of education and especially the teachers as the future of children and youth largely depends on them. Objectives. Theoretical substantiation, empirical verification and technological actualization of psychological resources for determining the personal and professional development of a teacher. Study Participants. University students (n = 663), university professors (n = 100), high school students (n = 118), school teachers (n = 34). Methods. The study consisted of four stages. A special methodological program has been developed for each stage. Results. The study revealed the specifics of the content structure of psychological resources relevant for the personal and professional development of teachers: reflexive projecting, constructive coping, emotional and value engagement. It is demonstrated that the complex of interrelated and interdependent resource-prognostic constructs — meta-resources acts as the main factor (predictor) determining the high level of personal and professional development of a teacher. The data analysis allowed to create a structural model of resource determination of personal and professional development of the subjects of education at the target, content (personal, interpersonal), technological, organizational, and strategic levels of psychological training for teachers. Conclusions. The concept of resource-prognostic determination of the teachers’ development, based on the idea of the maximum possible reliance on self-development and self-organization, assumes the most effective implementation of the totality of a teacher’s resources (meta-resources) in an individually unique situation. The technology of actualization of psychological resources for determining the personal and professional development of teachers (future teachers) has proven its effectiveness in experiments, which allows to recommend this technology for implementation in the educational process of schools, colleges, universities.

The sudden shift to remote learning during the Covid-19 pandemic has brought much distress to teachers. Since the teachers are considered as the major force that facilitates the learning process, their well-being should be given importance. The study used a survey research design to determine the level of distress among private school teachers in San Pablo City, Philippines, using the Covid-19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI). It also analyzed the sources of distress and examined the different coping strategies the teachers are using to mitigate the distress related to remote learning. Results show that the majority of the respondents are experiencing distress, with most having mild-moderate distress, followed by severe distress. Preparation of learning materials, internet connectivity problems, limited teacher-student interaction, assessment of student's learning, tracking student's progress, inconducive working environment, and inadequate technical skills were identified as sources of distress. Most respondents prefer coping strategies that would promote their overall wellness and those activities that avoid the source of distress. These findings have implications for school owners and administrators, policymakers, and curriculum developers in addressing the needs of teachers by providing programs that would help them cope with the distress related to remote learning.

This article deals with the peculiarities of the teacher’s interaction with the Russian and Chinese student audiences in the process of teaching in the higher education system of the Russian Federation. Russian and Chinese students’ audience features were analyzed in terms of using these features in the professional activity of a teacher teaching Russian and Chinese students both individually and as part of mixed groups. The author highlights the following as the main features of Chinese students: collectivism, respect for elders, fear of “losing one’s face”, good memory, tendency to memorize the material, orientation to the fact that the teacher is always right, compliance with the principles of subordination, diff erent from Russian practice, ambiguous attitude to non-traditional forms of classroom instruction, positive attitude to the use of electronic learning tools. Russian and Chinese students are also given a comparative description from the point of view of the peculiarities of the mentality of the representatives of Chinese and Russian linguoculture. It is concluded that a university teacher who takes into account the peculiarities of the Chinese audience will be able to structure the educational process in such a way that all the peculiarities of the mentality of Chinese students will be taken into account. The author also concludes that the due regard of the Russian and Chinese students’ national characteristics will make it possible to teach eff ectively in mixed student groups. The fi nal paragraphs present possible prospects for further research into the peculiarities of teacher interaction with Russian and Chinese student audiences at the current stage of the development of the higher education system of the Russian Federation.
