This study aimed to determine the relationship between hidden curriculum and academic optimism in upper secondary school students. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this research consists of upper secondary school students of Pakdasht city in the academic year 2020-2021 with 3500 people. The sample size was determined based on Krejcie and Morgan table of 346 people. Also, for sampling, after estimating the sample size, the available random sampling method was use. In order to collect data, two standardized questionnaires were used for assessing the hidden curriculum (Fathi Vajargah) and the questionnaire for assessing academic optimism (Schennemoran). Descriptive statistics methods including: mean, percentage and frequency and inferential statistics such as: Pearson correlation test, one-sample t-test and multiple regression were used. SPSS22 was also used to analyze the collected data. The findings of Pearson correlation coefficient indicated that there is a significant relationship between the hidden curriculum and the academic optimism of the studied students at the alpha level of 0.01. Findings of one-sample t-test indicated that the students surveyed were at a relatively good level in terms of the components of academic optimism as well as the hidden curriculum. The results of correlation test showed that there is a significant relationship between the two components of the hidden curriculum (school social atmosphere and teacher-student interactions) with students 'academic optimism, but the findings showed that there isn’t any relationship between school organizational structure and students' academic optimism. The correlation coefficient also showed that there is a significant and direct relationship between the hidden curriculum and all components of students' academic optimism. Also, the findings of regression test indicated that the latent hidden curriculum variable explains 0.28 variance of academic optimism of the students and only the organizational structure of the school did not play a significant role in predicting students' academic optimism. Also, the findings of the regression test indicated that among components of hidden curriculum, the component of teacher-student interactions had the largest share in explaining and predicting changes in students' academic optimism.

Shame And Guilt

Abstract In the processual approach to identity, the role of the interaction between subjective and contextual factors in the process of its development is emphasized. Based on the model of Luyckx et al. (2008) relationships between identity and educational context, as well as the tendency to experience shame and guilt were analyzed.. 821 people aged from 14-25 and belonging to six educational groups: (1) lower secondary school, (2) basic vocational school, (3) technical upper secondary school, (4) general upper secondary school, (5) post-secondary school (medical rescue, massage therapy, cosmetology, occupational therapy) and (6) university, took part in the research. Two questionnaires were used: The Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS), to allow the measurement of the five dimensions of identity postulated by Luyckx et al (2008) and The Personal Feelings Questionnaire-2 (PFQ-2, Harder, Zalma, 1990) to measure of the shame and guilt proneness. The results show that general upper secondary school students in terms of the dimensions of identity are closer to lower secondary school students rather than to their peers from technical and vocational schools. Among general upper secondary school students not only was a higher intensity of an identity crisis observed, but also a strong tendency to experience shame and guilt. Among lower secondary school students and general upper secondary school students, people with diffusion and moratorium as identity statuses prevailed, while in the remaining groups the achievement and foreclosure identity were observed more frequently. A general relationship was also observed, namely, a greater tendency to experience shame was associated with a higher intensity of an identity crisis.

This study explores vocational judgement, which is discernible in the assessment actions of a supervising childminder directed towards upper secondary school students – while interacting with the children – during work-based learning in Sweden. The research aims to identify the characteristics of vocational knowing in terms of judgement, as exhibited in everyday interactions with children, by applying multimodal interaction ana-lysis to two video sequences from different Swedish preschools. The study findings show how vocational judgement – in the form of embodied discernment – is a central aspect of a childminder’s vocational knowing. Vocational judgement becomes discernible, for instance, in how supervising childminders are consistently one or several steps ahead of both children and upper secondary school students

In today’s complex world, the acquisition of research skills is considered an important goal in (upper secondary) education. Consequently, there is a growing body of literature that recognises the value of well-designed (online) learning environments for effectively supporting the development of this complex set of skills. However, a clear consensus on how these research skills can be facilitated is currently lacking. Furthermore, interventions aiming to foster these skills are often implemented in specific domains, mostly in physics, biology and chemistry. In addition, current approaches to facilitation often refer to only a few epistemic activities related to research skills. Because of the broad and (mainly) domain-specific character of research skills, the purpose of this paper is to articulate the instructional design considerations for an online learning environment for upper secondary school students’ (broad set of) research skills in a(n) (underrepresented) behavioural sciences context.
