School Burnout

This study introduces a measure for school burnout and examines its validity and reliability among students in upper secondary high schools and vocational schools by using confirmatory factor analysis. School-related burnout comprises three dimensions: (a) exhaustion at school, (b) cynicism toward the meaning of school, and (c) sense of inadequacy at school. A total of 1418 (709 girls, 709 boys) adolescents from 13 postcomprehensive schools (6 upper secondary high schools, 7 vocational schools) filled in a questionnaire concerning their school burnout and background variables. The results showed that the three-factor solution, compared to one- or two-factor solutions, fit the data best and also gave the best reliability indices. The three theoretically-derived dimensions of school burnout were closely related but separate constructs. Finally, concurrent validity for the School-Burnout Inventory (SBI) was found when the correlations of depressive symptoms, school engagement, and academic achievement with each of the three dimensions of school burnout were examined: The more depressive symptoms adolescents suffered, the more exhaustion, cynicism, and inadequacy they reported; and the lower their academic achievement and school engagement, the more cynicism and inadequacy they reported.

<p>The purpose of this study is to analyse the attitudes of prospective science, elementary school and social sciences teachers who will provide environmental education in elementary and secondary schools in the future towards solid wastes and recycling in terms of various variables. The sample of the study consists of 149 pre-service teachers who are receiving education at the education faculty of a university located in Middle Anatolia Region in Turkey. "Scale of Pre-service Teachers' Attitudes towards Solid Wastes and Recycling", which was developed by Karatekin (2013) and which consists of three dimensions and 33 items was used in this study which was conducted by screening model. As a result of the study, it was revealed that pre-service teachers generally have a positive attitude towards solid wastes and recycling. Besides, there is a difference among the pre-service teachers' attitudes in all three dimensions of the scale with regard to gender and department. Also, the scores of pre-service teachers for the initiative and participation and interest and sensitivity dimensions of the scale vary depending on their behaviours of separating the wastes and throwing them into the related recycle bin and preferring products that are suitable for recycling. It was found out that there is no difference among the participants' scores of attitudes towards solid wastes and recycling in terms of settlement, level of income, educational level of the parents and membership to environmental associations.</p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Yapılan bu araştırmanın amacı öğretmen olduklarında ilkokul ve ortaokullarda çevre eğitimi verecek olan fen bilgisi, sınıf ve sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının katı atıklar ve geri dönüşüme yönelik tutumlarının farklı değişkenler açısından incelenmesidir.  Araştırmanın örneklemini Türkiye’nin İç Anadolu Bölgesinde bulunan bir üniversitenin eğitim fakültesinde öğrenim gören 149 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilen araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Karatekin (2013) tarafından geliştirilen, üç alt boyutlu ve toplam 33 sorudan oluşan “Öğretmen Adayları İçin Katı Atık ve Geri Dönüşüme Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının katı atıklar ve geri dönüşüme yönelik tutumlarının genel olarak olumlu olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bununla birlikte öğretmen adaylarının tutum ölçeğinin üç alt boyutunda da tutumları arasında cinsiyetlerine ve anabilim dallarına göre farklık bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının tutum ölçeğinin girişim ve katılım ile ilgi ve duyarlılık alt boyutu puanları adayların atıkları ayrıştırarak ilgili geri dönüşüm kutusuna atma ve geri dönüşüme uygun ürünleri tercih etme davranışlarına göre farklılaşmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan öğretmen adaylarının katı atıklar ve geri dönüşüme yönelik tutum ölçeği alt boyutu puanları arasında adayların yerleşim birimi, gelir düzeyi, ebeveynlerinin eğitim durumu ve çevre kuruluşuna üyelik durumları bakımından herhangi bir farklılığın olmadığı belirlenmiştir.</p>

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) forms part of Target 4.7 of Sustainable Development Goal 4 in the 2030 Agenda. This paper presents an effort to propose an evaluation framework of elementary school teaching materials in Taiwan for sustainable development considering three dimensions of sustainability: Environmental, social, and economic. The proposed framework comprises four levels: Lever 1, education for sustainable development; Level 2, teaching scopes; Level 3, learning indicators, and; Level 4, learning topics. This study first, through literature reviews, proposed an initial evaluation framework and then, through in-depth expert interviews, obtained a modified framework. Thereafter, the Delphi questionnaires were conducted to establish the final evaluation framework. The framework includes four teaching scopes, ten learning indicators and twenty-one learning topics. Furthermore, the weights of each scope and its associated indicators were analyzed and compared through AHP questionnaires to obtain the scoring table for sustainability teaching materials implemented in a school. Finally, the scoring table was applied to an existing elementary school to investigate its implementation of the teaching materials on sustainable development. Based on the result from the scoring table, the areas needed for improvement were identified and the improvement strategies were then proposed.

Policies And Programs

This study examined a multidimensional model of school engagement (Fredricks, Blumenfeld, & Paris, 2004) among low-income, urban Latino adolescents. Ecological theory suggests that students’ school, family, and peer contexts influence their behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. Using qualitative methods of inquiry, this study examined how these various microsystemic factors influenced the school engagement of 32 Latino adolescents. Participants between 18 and 20 years of age participated in interviews focused on their retrospective experiences in high school. Participants identified school, family, and peer themes that facilitated or hindered various components of school engagement. Youth discussed how school and peer factors affected all three dimensions of school engagement, while family affected behavioral and cognitive engagement. Understanding processes involved in high school completion will aid in designing effective policies and programs to reduce dropout rates among Latino youth.

Children With Cerebral Palsy

This study assessed the efficacy of an educational program focused on the promotion of school engagement in children with Cerebral Palsy. A 9 weeks, narrative-based intervention program, with a pre-post neuropsychological and self-report evaluation, was developed with a dual focus: a self-regulation theoretical model and executive function stimulation. Fifteen children with Cerebral Palsy participated in the study. Results showed a significant main effect of time (F(2.82) = 6.04, p = 0.0066, partial η2 = 0.30; F(2.82) = 9.91, p = 0.0006, partial η2 = 0.41; F(2.82) = 26.90, p < 0.0001, partial η2 = 0.66) in the three dimensions of school engagement. Findings indicate that the program to train self-regulated competences and executive function skills was efficacious in promoting school engagement in children with Cerebral Palsy. Educational implications were discussed.
