<p>Character education is deemed as an essential aspect to be disseminated to the students in enabling them to be prepared to face real-world society. It can be incorporated into formal education with the support of school staff, teachers, and parents. Hence, this study investigates the relationship between teachers' efficacy, knowledge, and professional development in implementing character education. Using a quantitative correlational approach, data was obtained from 384 secondary school teachers on character education efficacy belief, character education knowledge, belief and practice instrument, and character education professional development. The data was analysed using multiple linear regression analysis scales. The findings postulated that teacher’s professional development and knowledge were able to predict the implementation of character education while efficacy was deemed an insignificant variable. Therefore, understanding the relationships between the factors is essential to train future teachers for character education. In conclusion, the findings from this study are expected to benefit the Ministry of Education, school administrations, teachers, and the community in identifying ways to enhance the implementation of character education.<b></b></p>

<p>A number of studies and cases have brought to light the challenges and barriers mature students face as they embark on a course of study. Yet there is no agreed definition of the term ‘mature student’. The first part of this paper presents several definitions of the term found in the contemporary literature. The two prevailing criteria are the typical constraints mature students face while studying and student age. In our study, a survey questionnaire was distributed electronically to 64 mature students at Oxford Business College during August 2021. Our research found that the most concerning issue for those who took part in our survey during the Covid-19 pandemic was reconciling financial obligations associated with education and family responsibilities. This may be a consequence of increased job insecurity during the pandemic. However, only one-third of the mature students in our study said they had significant difficulties in balancing study with other commitments, and slightly more than one fifth had experienced extreme or significant amounts of stress. Most students had succeeded in finding the right balance, albeit with minor difficulties. Interestingly, the results of our correlation analysis showed that stress in managing activities was unrelated to gender and age, while absence from full-time education was significantly positively related to age and unrelated to gender. Stress in managing activities correlated positively with balancing study-related obligations with other life commitments. This result shows that higher levels of stress lead to greater difficulties in achieving a balance between study and other life activities. Furthermore, associations between the period of absence from full-time education prior to enrolment on the current study program and gender and age were statistically insignificant. The results of our multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender and age together explained a statistically significant percentage of variance in stress levels. Additionally, absence from full-time formal education accounted for 2% of the total score variance in stress caused by managing different activities. This finding indicates that longer periods of time spent out of formal education predict higher levels of stress among mature students later on. As we start to move beyond the pandemic, almost two-thirds of respondents said they would prefer lessons to be delivered online once the Covid-19 pandemic is over, while only a minority of them prefer traditional classroom-based lessons (on-campus). This is perhaps no surprise given the substantial time-saving advantages of online learning, the scarcest resource for mature students. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0894/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

ABSTRACT  The purpose of this study was to obtain empirical evidence about the influence of competence, independence and religiosity of auditors on audit quality. Determination of sampling by using probability sampling with the type of proportionate stratified random sampling. The object of this research is auditors in Inspectorate General Ministry of Education and Culture with a total sample of 192 auditors. After the data is obtained, the results will be presented descriptively and analyzed to test the hypothesis. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that independence had an effect on audit quality, while the competency and religiosity variables had no influence. This study only discusses 3 (three) independent variables that influence audit quality, there may be other variables that can influence. Data in this study were obtained from instruments based on respondents’ answers. This can cause problems, if the respondent’s perception is different from the actual situation. For further research, it is better to understand the meaning of the instrument for measuring the research variables or developing the instruments themselves. ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh bukti empiris tentang pengaruh kompetensi, independensi dan religiusitas auditor terhadap kualitas audit. Penentuan sampling dengan menggunakan probability sampling dengan jenis proportionate stratified random sampling. Objek penelitian ini adalah auditor di lingkungan Inspektorat Jenderal Kemendikbud dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 192 auditor. Setelah data diperoleh, hasilnya akan dipaparkan secara deskriptif dan dianalisis untuk menguji hipotesis. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisa regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa independensi berpengaruh terhadap kualitas audit, sedangkan variabel kompetensi dan religiusitas tidak mempunyai pengaruh. Penelitian inihanya membahas 3 (tiga) variabel independen yang berpengaruh terhadap kualitas audit, kemungkinan masih ada variabel lain yang dapat mempengaruhi. Data pada penelitian ini diperoleh dari instrumen yang berdasarkan atas jawaban responden. Hal ini dapat menimbulkan masalah, jika persepsi responden berbeda dengan keadaan yang sebenarnya. Bagi penelitian selanjutnya hendaknya lebih memahami makna dari instrumen pengukuran variabel penelitian atau mengembangkan sendiri instrumen tersebut.

BACKGROUND: Past research has suggested that secondary special educators enter the profession with limited knowledge and skills to provide effective evidence-based transition practices (EBTPs) to students with disabilities. Professional development (PD) is known to be one pathway to expand teachers’ knowledge and delivery of evidence-based transition practices, yet minimal research exists investigating what PD activities are most effective at increasing teachers’ use of EBTPs. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine how transition specific PD influenced secondary special educators’ knowledge and perceived self-efficacy regarding the use of EBTPs in their classrooms to support students with disabilities. METHODS: A correlational research design was used to investigate teacher self-efficacy to deliver EBTPs when the amount, type, and location of PD are factors. Descriptive statistics, an analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a multiple linear regression analysis were performed. RESULTS: The amount of PD offered had a significant effect on teachers’ perceived efficacy compared to the location and type of professional development received. Further, the results of teachers’ perceived effectiveness, changes made as a result of PD, and other factors related to PD are reported. CONCLUSIONS: After receiving PD, teachers were more likely to make changes in their classroom that, in turn, affected their self-efficacy and effectiveness to deliver EBTPs to support students with disabilities. Implications for teacher professional development research, practice, and policy are also discussed.
