One of the educational philosophies that are still being adopted in education, especially in Indonesia, is perennial. This school claims that education must always be linked to a culture that can shape a better human personality. This research is a part of research and development in creating a teaching model for Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) based on local wisdom. The main focus is to test the validity and practicality of the local wisdom-based PPKn learning model that has been developed. Two experts and three teachers were involved in this study to determine whether the products produced in this study were valid and practical. Several instruments are used in collecting data, namely validation sheets, model implementation observation sheets, and learning management observation sheets. The data that have been collected are then analyzed using a quantitative approach. The results showed that the PPKn learning model based on local wisdom was proven to be valid and practical. Thus, this learning model can be used for a more extensive trial process through effectiveness testing.

Teaching and learning is a complex process, which deals with different individuals with different expectations from diverse backgrounds, with different cultural and social capital involved in this process. The teaching and learning process in most South African institutions of higher learning has been plagued by several challenges over the last decade. In this research, the experiences of international postgraduate student lecturers teaching at a university in KwaZulu-Natal were examined. Utilizing the curricular spider web as its framework, it evaluates the experiences of international students lecturing at a university in KwaZulu-Natal, in order to identify the challenges faced by students in this institution during the teaching and learning process, and create a transformation path that can be adopted by other South African institutions of higher learning. This framework utilizes ten different components, each answering some key questions, and all stemming from the rationale for teaching and learning. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research conducted semi-structured interviews involving six participants who were pursuing different postgraduate degrees at the University. Interviews with each participant were conducted in English, lasted about 60 minutes each, and were digitally recorded and transcribed afterwards. Data were analyzed using an open coded process and findings reveal that transforming the teaching and learning process at these institutions of higher learning will largely involve making major changes to the curriculum content, learning activities, and learning resources.

Reading is a fundamental skill required for effective participation in academic tasks. This research investigated the significant main effects of phonics and neurological impress instructional methods on the reading skills of pupils with learning disabilities. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design with a 3 x 2 factorial matrix was used. Purposive sampling was used to select forty-five students with learning disabilities (N = 45, M = 22, F = 23, Mean age = 9.3) from three government-owned primary schools. Six instruments were used: Pupil Rating Scale (Revised) ( r = 0.75); Picture Vocabulary Test ( r = 0.75); PALS-PreK ( r = 0.82); Informal Reading Inventory ( r = 0.70); and Umolu' s One Hundred High Frequency Words ( r = 0.85). The data collected were analysed using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and an estimated marginal mean score of 0.05 level is of significance. The findings revealed that treatment had a significant main effect on the reading skills of students with learning disabilities (F (2, 42) = 43.178, p < .05, η 2 =.762), but gender had no significant main effect. It is recommended that phonics and neurological impress instructional methods be adopted when teaching reading skills to pupils with learning disabilities.
阅读是有效参与学术任务所需的一项基本技能。本研究探讨了自然拼读法和神经印象教学法对学习障碍小学生阅读能力的主要影响。采用准实验前测后测对照组设计，采用3 × 2阶乘矩阵。采用目的抽样的方法，从3所公办小学抽取45名学习障碍学生(N = 45, M = 22, F = 23，平均年龄= 9.3)。使用了六种工具:瞳孔评定量表(修订)(r = 0.75);图片词汇测试(r = 0.75);pal - prek (r = 0.82);非正式阅读量表(r = 0.70);和Umolu的100个高频词(r = 0.85)。收集的资料采用协方差分析(ANCOVA)进行分析，估计的边际平均评分为0.05水平，具有显著性。结果显示，治疗对学习障碍学生的阅读能力有显著的主影响(F (2,42) = 43.178, p < 0.05， η 2 =.762)，性别对阅读能力无显著的主影响。建议在对有学习障碍的学生进行阅读技巧教学时，采用自然拼读法和神经印象教学法。

The aim of this paper is to explore a framework for articulating the relationship between teachers' practices and students' self-efficacy in teaching and learning of Euclidean Geometry (RTP&SS-EG) in high school. The effective learning of Mathematics, especially Euclidean Geometry by students, is directly influenced by teachers' confidence and competence. The RTP&SS-EG framework was developed based on the gap in literature revealed through international studies, indicating a direct relationship between teachers with a higher level of self-efficacy, and students' achievement. However, the researchers did not come across national studies promoting the relationship between the teachers' practices and students' self-efficacy on the learning of Euclidean Geometry in high school. The question asked was: To what extent is the relationship between the teachers' practices and the students' self-efficacy in teaching and learning of Euclidean Geometry in High school? Geometry Students Self-Efficacy (SGS-EQ) and Geometry Teacher Self-Efficacy questionnaire (GTS-EQ) were utilized. The participants were 81 Mathematics teachers, and 390 Grade 10-12 students from the Mpumalanga and North West provinces in South Africa. Reliability for the entire scale of both instruments computed in terms of the internal consistency was found to be .83. To establish the content validity of the scores from both instruments, the exploratory factor analysis was computed using varimax rotation. The four-factor solution accounting for 43.03% of the total variance was obtained from 36 items of the GTS-EQ. A five-factor solution for 45.37% of the total explained variance was obtained from the 46 items of the SGS-EQ. In RTP&SS-EG, three education theories, constructivism, social constructivism and social cognitivism, policies, as well as teacher and student self-efficacy principles enjoin the practice enacted from the relation between the teachers' practices and the students' self-efficacy in the learning of Euclidean Geometry. The findings revealed that the learning value associated with the relationship between teachers' practices and students' self-efficacy may be integrated into the everyday preparations of teaching-learning plans in Euclidean Geometry. It is critical that policymakers, curriculum developers, teachers and students make use of this model to ensure that self-efficacy of both teachers and students is taken into consideration in Euclidean Geometry.

The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of "tabletop games integrated into English teaching" on the effectiveness of English vocabulary learning and learning attitudes of third-grade students. The research method used is the quasi-experiment. The subjects are two normal classes of students in the third grade of an elementary school in Tainan. They were divided into two groups, experimental group and control group. All of them were allowed to review the English vocabulary learned in the English classroom after school over the research period. The experimental group played tabletop games to review English vocabulary, and the control group used traditional writing and recitation method to review English vocabulary. The test tools include the English vocabulary tests before and after the experiment and feedback questionnaires. Statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, analysis of covariance, independent samples t-test, and paired samples t-test were used for data analysis. The research results included: (1) Both groups of students have made significant progress in "listening comprehension of English vocabulary”; (2) Both groups have made significant progress in "spelling" ability and the average progress the students in the experimental group have made was greater than the students in the control group did; (3) The students in the experimental group as a whole expressed a middle-to-high degree of satisfaction with "tabletop games integrated into English teaching" and have had a positive attitude to it. Finally, specific suggestions were made based on the research results for reference by teachers, schools, and education-related administrative units.

The imbalances of the South African education system before 1994 resulted in many rural women predominantly without education and training. The lack of primary education and skills has beckoned many women to ill-treatment, rejection, vulnerability, abuse, hunger, diseases, poverty, and unemployment. For women to thrive socially and economically, education is crucial. So Adult and Community Education and Training (ACET) for the underprivileged rural women are essential for development and empowerment today. The overarching aim of ACET is to empower rural women with knowledge and livelihood skills to tackle their socio-economic problems. The study, therefore, aimed to explore the significance of ACET on the socio-economic lives of women, especially those in rural areas. The researchers conducted qualitative interviews with 35 women who were purposively selected for the study and deemed information-rich. The study's findings indicated a lack of skills training programs to empower women and a lack of access to ACET programs. Therefore, the paper recommends that ACET programs be structured to meet the learning needs of women.

Development of Cognitive skills is critical for developing the right conceptual ideas in chemistry. Atomic structure, bonding, and associated properties are taught as parts of high school chemistry courses worldwide. The cumulative build-up of misconceptions about the periodic table is to blame for students' poor performance on atoms and bonding-related topics. This is primarily due to a lack of appropriate cognitive abilities. The periodic table is a fundamental organizing principle in chemistry that high school students are introduced to. The purpose of this study is to determine the commonalities among learners' misconceptions about various aspects of the periodic table in two distinct countries. This study had two objectives. To begin with, it demonstrated if learners from different locations developed the same type of alternate concepts. Second, it aided in discovering the most prevalent alternate conceptions in learners' minds regarding the periodic table. This study enrolled 97 students from India and 78 students from South Africa. The quantitative data for this investigation were gathered using a modified BRI. It is noticed that, despite disparities in their social environments, high school students generally possess similar alternate conceptions that act as a learning barrier at their higher level of learning.

Many Philippine schools, colleges and tertiary institutions struggled to restructure their educational institutions with the full implementation of K-12 and the advent of Outcomes-Based Education in Philippine Educational System since 2016 in compliance with the International Qualification Standards utilizing different strategies for their survival and growth. This research aimed to determine the impact of institutional downsizing towards work satisfaction and clinical instructors' workplace commitment in Region VI. The study employed a descriptive-correlational design utilizing a survey method. Qualitative data were obtained to enrich survey results. Ninety-one (91) clinical instructors in various nursing colleges in Region VI, Philippines were chosen as actual participants using a stratified random sampling. Data collected were analyzed using appropriate descriptive, inferential statistics and qualitative analysis. The overall interpretation indicates a moderate level of work satisfaction (grand mean of 3.81) and clinical instructors' workplace commitment (grand mean of 4.20) in Region VI; there is no significant relationship between clinical instructors' workplace commitment and profile variables except for area of assignment (χ2 = 16.217, p = 0.013). There is no significant relationship between institutional downsizing and workplace commitment. However, there is a significant relationship between work satisfaction and workplace commitment (χ2 = 100.2, p = 0.000). The study concluded that clinical instructors' perception of the impact of restructuring has little effect on their work satisfaction and workplace commitment but undergone various struggles.
自2016年以来，随着K-12的全面实施和菲律宾教育体系中成果导向型教育的出现，许多菲律宾学校，学院和高等教育机构努力重组其教育机构，以符合国际资格标准，利用不同的战略来生存和发展。本研究旨在确定第六区机构精简对工作满意度和临床教师工作场所承诺的影响。本研究采用描述性相关设计，采用调查方法。获得定性数据，丰富调查结果。采用分层随机抽样的方法，选取菲律宾第六区各护理学院的91名临床讲师作为实际参与者。收集的数据采用适当的描述性、推断性统计和定性分析进行分析。整体解释表明，第六区临床教师的工作满意度(大平均值为3.81)和工作承诺(大平均值为4.20)处于中等水平;临床教师的工作场所承诺与个人档案变量之间除任务区域外无显著相关(χ2 = 16.217, p = 0.013)。机构裁员与工作场所承诺之间没有显著的关系。然而，工作满意度与工作场所承诺之间存在显著关系(χ2 = 100.2, p = 0.000)。研究得出结论，临床教师对重组影响的感知对其工作满意度和工作场所承诺的影响不大，但经历了各种斗争。
