Attitudes Towards Inclusion

Inclusive education has become a global trend in the provision of services for students with disabilities. While attitudes towards inclusion have been studied widely in some countries, little research in this area has been conducted in Kuwait. This study responds to this need by researching pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education. This study examined Kuwaiti pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards including students with Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) in general education classrooms. Questionnaires were distributed to 452 Kuwaiti pre-service male and female teachers at the College of Basic Education. Several factors, such as teachers’ knowledge, were found to be related to pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion. The results of the study indicated that, overall, Kuwaiti pre-service teachers hold positive attitudes towards inclusion.

This study aimed to identify Physics teachers' attitudes towards using Polya`s strategy for solving physics problems at Post Basic Education stage. To achieve the objectives of the study, a direction measurement was built to identify the degree of physics teachers' attitudes towards using Polya`s strategy. The measurement consisted in its final form of (34) statements. The sincerity of arbitrators of study tool was calculated and the correlation coefficients of the measurement statements was (0.567- 0.802). The stability of scales was also calculated by applying it on an exploratory sample and the reliability coefficient was (0.87) which is a high index of relevance to achieve objectives of the study.  A descriptive approach was used to achieve the objectives of the study and the study population consisted of all physics teachers at Post Basic Education of Al Batinah North and Muscat Governorates in the academic year 2016/2017.A representative sample was chosen in a random way; the study sample was (41) male and female physics teachers of Post BE stage and the study tool was applied on them. The study results indicated that the average sample study of physics teachers' attitudes towards Polia strategy on a full scale was (3.76), which is a high degree level according to the standard of correcting performance on study tool which is a higher degree than the acceptable level educationally (3.5); that is due to the physics teachers of the importance of Polia strategy in developing skills of solving physics problems for learners. The results of the study indicated also that there were no statistically significant differences in the physics teachers' attitudes towards using Polya`s strategy in solving physics problems in Post BE, according to the variables of gender, scientific qualification and teaching experience. The researchers attribute that to the modernity of this strategy for physics teachers and the presence of a real desire from physics teachers to develop their teaching skills in solving physics problems in grade 11 and 12 (Post Basic Education The study recommended the need for paying attention to the development of physics teachers' skills in Polya strategy with its four(4) steps in teaching and solving physics problems at Post BE, and continuing work to raise awareness level and positive attitudes among physics toward Polya strategy and its importance in solving physics problems process.

Development And Validation

Abstract. We describe the development and validation of an instrument for measuring the affective component of primary school teachers’ attitudes towards self-regulated learning. The questionnaire assesses the affective component towards those cognitive and metacognitive strategies that are especially effective in primary school. In a first study (n = 230), the factor structure was verified via an exploratory factor analysis. A confirmatory factor analysis with data from a second study (n = 400) indicated that the theoretical factor structure is appropriate. A comparison with four alternative models identified the theoretically derived factor structure as the most appropriate. Concurrent validity was demonstrated by correlations with a scale that measures the degree to which teachers create learning environments that enable students to self-regulate their learning. Retrospective validity was demonstrated by correlations with a scale that measures teachers’ experiences with self-regulated learning. In a third study (n = 47), the scale’s concurrent validity was tested with scales measuring teachers’ evaluation of the desirability of different aspects of self-regulated learning in class. Additionally, predictive validity was demonstrated via a binary logistic regression, with teachers attitudes as predictor on their registration for a workshop on self-regulated learning and their willingness to implement a seven-week training program on self-regulated learning.

Conservation Of Biodiversity

The perception of a basic education of the importance of agroecological agricultural systems for human and environmental health is fundamental for changes in consumption habits, the conservation of local biodiversity and long-term social transformation. We analyzed, by utilizing a questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions, the perceptions about agroecological and conventional agricultural production systems in 360 final students of basic education residing in nine Functional Planning Regions of southern Brazil. We used classification categories for answers within thematic axes, expressed in percentages and analyzed by means of Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests. In general, students recognize agroecological systems as healthier for their families and for soil and water conservation, largely because they do not use agrochemicals. However, they demonstrated difficulties when arguing their importance for the conservation of biodiversity, ecosystems and for ensuring the food security of populations. Television was the main source of information related to agroecology, mainly for students residing in rural areas, thus pointing out shortcomings in basic education regarding the approach of the theme in schools. Our results show the need to build a complex network of knowledge and discussions on agroecological agricultural systems in basic education, involving changes in student perceptions, behaviors and sustainable choices.
