This chapter is about a multicultural GATE teacher, Jennifer Waldron, and her circuitous journey on becoming the educator that she is today. Having lived on three continents by the age of 13, she struggled with cultural identity exacerbated by the inevitable awkwardness that accompanies key developmental junctures. Central to this piece are acculturation, assimilation, self-determination and self-efficacy, and learning to manage the awareness of belonging nowhere, yet everywhere at once. This is an educational journey of finding, appreciating, and using one's strengths and growth mindset in the pursuit of re-educating oneself to become a more empowered person and educator. This chapter underscores the relevance of cultural competency and the need for tolerance of difference at all levels of education. Jennifer Waldron embraces research based and innovative approaches to thinking and learning. She strives to break down barriers through design and creative thinking so as to find relevant connections between seemingly disparate subjects.

Background and Purpose: The present study is designed to evaluate the effect of individual psycho-education intervention based on integrated self-awareness and self-determination theories (i-SEAZ) toward self-efficacy among opioid-dependent patients in methadone treatment (MT).   Methodology: 75 opioid-dependent participants who were on MT under Ministry of Health Malaysia from five Methadone Clinics in Klang Valley were evaluated on the effectiveness of the i-SEAZ intervention. The experiment group comprised 38 participants, who received ten sessions of individual i-SEAZ alongside MT, while 37 participants of the control group only received MT. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed by the General Self Efficacy Questionnaire (GSE), with ten items. The assessment was performed two times; the first was two weeks before the initiation of i-SEAZ (as pretest), and the second was two weeks after i-SEAZ was completed (as posttest).   Findings: The extracted data were analysed by ANCOVA using SPSS-20. The findings showed there was a significant improvement in the i-SEAZ scores between experiment and control groups at posttest (p = 0.000). It is concluded that the intervention of i-SEAZ is associated with a significant increase in self-efficacy among substance-dependent patients in Methadone Clinics.   Contributions: This study is hoped to contribute to the psychologists and counselors at addiction clinics, treatment institutions and communities in adopting the i-SEAZ module to improve self-efficacy among patients in substance abuse treatment.   Keywords: Methadone treatment, psychoeducation, self-efficacy, self-awareness theory, self-determination theory.   Cite as: Engku Kamarudin, E.

In Spain, the state of alarm declared on March 14, 2020 caused changes in the population in relation to the habits of physical activity and sports practice. This study analyzed what motivational variables predicted the self-efficacy and commitment to sports practice, as well as the differences according to gender, during lockdown and the progressive de-escalation caused by COVID-19, using the theory of self-determination as a theoretical framework. The study sample was conformed of 179 subjects (90 men and 89 women) between 18 and 65 years of age (M = 28.64; SD = 10.28). The Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ), the Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale (PNSE), the Physical Activity Self-Efficacy scale, and the Sport Commitment scale were applied. The most relevant results have showed significant differences in favor of the male gender in terms of levels of controlled motivation and amotivation, as well as higher levels of self-efficacy and basic psychological need of autonomy. Furthermore, the regression analysis has revealed that self-efficacy and current commitment to sports practice were explained by a variance of 57 and 64%, respectively, due to autonomous motivation and the basic psychological need of competence. Therefore, the basic psychological need of competence should be fostered in order to increase the levels of self-determined motivation, self-efficacy, and commitment to sports practice of the population.

Guided by self-determination theory, the present study examines independent and interactive roles of self-efficacy and perceived social support in predicting types of academic motivation. Data were collected from 325 university undergraduates in 18-23 years of age (M=21.09, SD=1.34) from the fifth biggest city of South Asia. Results showed the independent and interactive effects of self-efficacy and social support from friends and from a significant other on intrinsic academic motivation after controlling the potential confounding due to demographics. Social support from friends, but not from family and a significant other, independently predicted extrinsic academic motivation. Neither self-efficacy nor social support significantly predicted amotivation.
