Today, cybersecurity is a growing issue in our education society to ensure a safe teaching and learning process for teachers and students. Reports and studies demonstrated that teachers and students are moderately aware of the cybersecurity threat surrounding them that could affect the learning curve and other fatal impacts. This study aims to identify the role of self-efficacy in the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and environment behavior of cybersecurity awareness. The researchers used a correlational design with a quantitative approach by using a questionnaire instrument to collect data from teacher respondents. A total of 350 teachers in took part in this survey voluntarily, distributed using social media applications in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The researchers used the IBM SPSS Statistics to analyze the data descriptively and inferentially. The levels of knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and environment behavior of Malaysian school teachers towards cybersecurity awareness are low. Self-efficacy acts as a moderator in influencing the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and environment behavior of cybersecurity awareness. Strategies and programs need to be initiated by stakeholders to increase the self-efficacy of cybersecurity that could assist the positive change of environment behavior among teachers for teaching and learning benefit.

Teachers’ educational values appear to influence their decision-making, but they are not the only decision-makers in the classroom. Students are also actively deciding on courses of action, yet educators know very little about students’ values or the interaction of teacher and student values. The purpose of this study was to examine levels of congruence between students’ and teachers’ values, and between their values and the curriculum. A multiphase research design involving observations, interviews, and Q methodology examined the educational values of 4 urban high school teachers and their students. Observation and interview data were analyzed via constant comparison. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the Q-sort data. Results indicated that teachers and students held potentially conflicting values about the educational and noneducational aspects of physical education, the role and value of social aspects, and the role of fun. Additionally, there was incongruence between participants’ values and the curricular model.

The reinforcing effects of positive characteristics in maintaining teachers’ and students’ psychological health have been well documented. However, there has been very little research into the determinants of what constitutes positive characteristics among teachers. Neither the full role played by mindfulness nor the psychological capital of teachers with positive characteristics remains unknown. This study marks the beginning of an investigation into such an issue. The sample of the study involved the participation of 374 teachers. In Model 1, the mediating role of psychological capital was tested in the relationship between mindfulness in teaching and teacher positivity. Meanwhile, in Model 2, the mediating role of mindfulness in teaching was tested in the relationship between psychological capital and positive teacher characteristics. In Model 1, the standardised path coefficients between the variables were not found to be statistically significant, thus prompting the test of a second structural model. The results showed that mindfulness in teaching appeared to constitute a full mediator in the relationship between psychological capital and positive characteristics among primary school teachers.

This study is a quantitative non-experimental design to explore the relationships between servant leadership characteristics of teachers and academic achievement of students in selected public schools. The purpose of this research was to explore the relationships between servant leadership characteristics of school teachers and students’ academic achievement in selected public schools. The hypothesis for this study was that, in the selected schools, the servant leadership of school teachers positively affects students’ academic achievement. The data collected in fifteen public schools located in Houston, Texas. As an instrument, the Organizational Leadership Assessment (OLA) was used in this study (Laub, 1999). This instrument has 66 questions with Likert-scale responses ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree, and data was collected from 362 participants. The servant leadership data was gathered through the OLA survey and interpreted as distinguishable factors that contribute to the larger picture: servant leadership. As our hypothesis, servant leadership behavior and student achievement are expected to have correlation. To understand the relationship between student achievement and servant leadership, univariate and multivariate analysis were used. The data was screened for normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity. Data analysis was conducted by using SPSS Statistics version 22.0, as the tools for the analysis of this research. As a result of the OLA survey regarding the functions of servant leadership, the values people subscale became statistically significant. It is the only subscale that showed any extensive correlation with academic achievement. The scale may indicate how much a teacher values people.
