The main objectives of this study were to examine trends in teacher monitoring methods (TMMs) among a representative set of 12 curriculum and didaktik countries, using data from PISA 2009, 2012, and 2015, and the association of TMMs with students’ reading, mathematics, and science performance accordingly. Curriculum and didaktik education traditions frame the study theoretically, while quantitative research methods are used, consisting of a two-sample difference of proportion test and hierarchical linear modelling. The findings suggest that across the PISA waves, the control over teachers is growing across all countries and in all three subject domains and four TMMs. However, the proportion of students in schools where any of the TMMs are used is higher and more statistically significant for curriculum than for didaktik countries. Student tests, teacher peer review, and principal observation are much more common TMMs than external inspector observation across all countries. Nevertheless, the use of external inspector observation is very low in several didaktik countries, and in the case of Finland almost inexistent. Results for Sweden seem to be over-reported as in previous survey work it was found that teacher self-assessment is the most common TMM, however, teacher self-assessment is not a variable included in the PISA survey. The results from within-country hierarchical linear models (HLMs) of associations of TMMs with students’ reading (2009), mathematics (2012), and science (2015) performance in PISA show mixed, and at times relatively large, effects from country to country and across three PISA waves, and interestingly the associations had diminished by PISA 2015. Adding a more diverse set of questions to PISA contextual questionnaires is warranted for results to be more meaningful and representative across more countries.

Natural disasters challenge regions, environments, and communities to regain control of their lives and rise to face their future. To turn up from pressure or be resilient, disaster victims need support from their families and their environment. Disaster victims need help from their families and their environment to rise again from pressure or be resilient. Based on this, there is an assumption that mothers can increase survivors' resilience to keep growing from stress. The method used in this research is quantitative research methods, using data collection techniques through questionnaires or questionnaires as a data collection technique. The research was conducted at Huntara Lere. The population in this study were child survivors of the disaster in Lere Huntara with the criteria for children in the age range 7-12 years and lived in Lere Village, West Palu District, Palu City. The collected data were then analyzed using validity, reliability, and assumption tests using the SPSS 16 assisted technique. This study shows no significant correlation between resilience and the role of mothers in child disaster survivors in Huntara Lere. Another finding from this study is that, in general, child survivors in Huntara Lere were not cared for by their parents.

The Relationship

This research makes use of hierarchical linear modelling to investigate which teacher characteristics are significantly associated with student performance. Using data from the SACMEQ III study of 2007, an interesting and potentially important finding is that younger teachers are better able to improve the mean mathematics performance of their students. Furthermore, younger teachers themselves perform better on subject tests than do their older counterparts. Identical models are run for Sub Saharan countries bordering on South Africa, as well for Kenya and the strong relationship between teacher age and student performance is not observed. Similarly, the model is run for South Africa using data from SACMEQ II (conducted in 2002) and the relationship between teacher age and student performance is also not observed. It must be noted that South African teachers were not tested in SACMEQ II so it was not possible to observe differences in subject knowledge amongst teachers in different cohorts and it was not possible to control for teachers’ level of subject knowledge when observing the relationship between teacher age and student performance. Changes in teacher education n in the late 1990s and early 2000s may explain the differences in the performance of younger teachers relative to their older counterparts observed in the later dataset.

The Relationship

This paper aims to reveal the relationship between transformational leadership and technostress. Quantitative research methods were adopted to determine the relationship. The model was examined using partial least squares based structural equation modelling using data from 334 employees working in logistics companies operating in Malatya. The findings of the research illustrate that transformational leadership behaviour affects technostress negatively. In other words, individuals who have transformational leaders faceless technostress than others. Since limited papers discuss these variables together, it is expected that the study may be helpful, especially for the logistic industry, due to the results of the relationship.

Using Data

Using Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM), this study aimed to identify factors such as ESL/ELL/EAL status that would predict students’ reading performance in an English language arts exam taken across Canada. Using data from the 2007 administration of the Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) along with the accompanying surveys for students and the schools, a two-level (student level and school level) HLM model was analyzed for predictive relationships. Results showed that, at the student level, predictors such as students’ participation in class discussions, language spoken at home, parents’ encouragement to read at a young age, and the number of individual projects requiring students to work outside of class contributed significantly to the students’ reading scores. However, none of the school-level predictors were found to be significant. All the significant predictors contributed to only 12% of the variability in this HLM model. Identification of more signi cant variables is needed in order to have a full picture of students’ reading competence and achievement. S’appuyant sur la modélisation linéaire hiérarchique (MLH), ce e étude porte sur l’identi cation des facteurs, comme le statut ALS/ELL/ALA, qui prédiraient les acquis en lecture d’élèves lors d’un examen d’anglais administré partout au Canada. Les auteures ont employé des données du Programme pancanadien d’évaluation (PPCE), y compris les sondages connexes pour les élèves et les écoles, a n d’analyser les liens prédictifs d’un modèle HLM à deux niveaux (élève et école). Les résultats indiquent que les prédicteurs tels la participation des élèves aux dis- cussions en classe, la langue parlée à la maison, la mesure dans laquelle les parents encouragent leurs enfants à lire dès un jeune âge et le nombre de projets individuels exigeant du travail à l’extérieur de la salle de classe, contribuaient de façon significative aux résultats des élèves en lecture. Toutefois, aucun des prédicteurs au niveau de l’école ne s’est révélé comme étant significatif. Dans leur ensemble, les prédicteurs significatifs n’ont contribué qu’à 12% de la variabilité du modèle MLH. A n d’arriver à une vue globale du rendement et de la compétence en lecture des élèves, il faudra identifier plus de variables signi catifs.

The present research aims to determine the effect of films including school and teacher whose learning processes are applied with “Critical Reflection Skills (CRS)” on the critical reflection skills of 4th primary education teachers. In accordance with this purpose, the research was carried out with 73 participants who were the 4th grade students in the Primary Education Teacher Training Department of Gazi Faculty of Education in Gazi University in 2012-2013 education year. The qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied together during the process. Data were collected with “The Critical Reflection Self-assessment Scale (CRSS)” - “Critical Team Application Focus Team Interview Form (CTAFTIF)” and “ Meta Team Observation Form”. During the data collection process, the participants watched the school and teacher containing films at first and then, “Critical Reflection Application (CRA)” adapted from “Critical Reflection Strategy with Teams” was applied. Content analysis was adopted in the analysis of the qualitative data gathered during the research process. In the analysis of the quantitative data, t-test and one-way variance analysis were used.  The results of the conducted research demonstrated that teachers started to generate thinking of critical reflection with school and teacher containing films and the CRA process. It was noticed that statistically a significant difference occurred between the control and experimental groups in terms of critical reflection skills.

Illumination or manuscript (the art of the book), can be interpreted as a decorative visual work that is containedin the manuscript that serves as a decoration. Basically used to beautify certain parts, especially on thefront page of the script (frontispiece). In ancient manuscripts by Acehnese scholars, various forms of illuminationwere adopted which adopted the local Acehnese decorative style. The beauty of the illumination in thetreasures of ancient manuscripts by Acehnese ulama, especially those contained in the Al-Quran Manuscriptscompiled into a collection of non-governmental institutions (private) in the city of Banda Aceh at this time hasnot been fully touched by studies that lead to visual aspects. Both in terms of comprehensive data collectionto in-depth analysis in the perspective of fine arts. This study aims to examine the visual aspects that focus onthe variety of Aceh’s decoration on illuminations in several Al-Quran Manuscripts from the Pedir Museumcollection. This research uses quantitative research methods, using data collection techniques through observation,interviews, documentation, and data collection. The data that has been collected is then carried out theprocess of identifying, categorizing, and analyzing the data by using the digitizing method of ornamentaldiversity in several Al-Quran Manuscripts from the Banda Aceh Pedir Museum collection.

This study analyzes the effect of inventory turnover, receivables turnover, and fixed asset turnover on the current ratio at PT Unilever Indonesia at PT Unilever, Tbk in 2013-2020. This study uses quantitative research methods using data from the 2013-2020 quarterly financial statements. The results showed that the Inventory Turnover variable had a partially insignificant effect on the Current Ratio, the Accounts Receivable Turnover Variable had a partially significant effect on the Current Ratio, the Fixed Asset Turnover Variable had a partially insignificant effect on the Current Ratio. While the Inventory Turnover Variable, Variable Accounts Receivable Turnover, and Fixed Assets Turnover Variable together have no effect on the Current Ratio. This result is different from research by Nurjannah (2015) which shows that there is a significant positive effect between accounts receivable turnover, inventory turnover and cash turnover on the liquidity ratio partially or simultaneously. Keyword : Inventory Turnover, Receivables Turnover, Fixed Asset Turnover, Current Ratio
