Students, including vocational school students, are vulnerable to traumatic experiences (TE). Students still look normal but experience stress that interferes with learning activities. TE can be observed through positive psychological attributes such as self-love (SL), compassion, gratitude, and happiness. This study aimed to explore the gender-specific views of vocational school students regarding their TE to provide results that can be the basis for the implementation of gender-differentiated interventions in schools. A cross-sectional survey using quantitative methods was conducted and involved 498 vocational school students in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected using questionnaires with reliability from the range of 0.74-1 through reliability analysis and also analyzed in a multi-group setting through structural equation model (SEM) on SmartPLS 3 application. Importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) method was also used to assess the functionality of variables in the study. The results showed that positive psychological attributes interact, relate, and have a role in the TE of vocational students, including in the evaluation of gender analysis. The results of the study can be a reference to reduce the impact of TE for vocational students, especially by gender-specific vocational schools. For future research, TE can be studied with other positive psychological attribute variables over a longer period of time.

Sustainable science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education rests not only on gender equity in educational opportunities but also on the academic attainment of female students. In Saudi Arabia, women enrolled in engineering and computer science are both newcomers and a minority. The present study compared the performance of female undergraduate students in pre-calculus (a prerequisite for STEM programs) before and after the pandemic. It also examined changes in students’ perceived difficulty and value of pre-calculus, the stress experienced in it, and their determination to pursue STEM. In this study, pre-calculus performance declined after the pandemic. Furthermore, the course was perceived as more difficult and stressful, as well as less valuable. Nevertheless, students’ determination to continue in STEM was undeterred. After the pandemic, students reported mostly utilitarian motives for pursuing STEM degrees (i.e., career opportunities), and concerns about their ability to balance work and personal lives in STEM professions. The key challenge was a personal issue (i.e., balancing professional and personal lives) rather than a social issue (e.g., the persistent gender imbalance in STEM fields). These findings suggest that interventions supporting intrinsic motivation are key to students’ engagement and persistence in academic pursuits and thus to their ability to be academically and professionally successful in STEM.

Rural science education during and beyond COVID-19: teachers’ strategies and prospects from a Philippine perspective

10.11591/ijere.v14i4.30446
Kristian Q. Aldea , Marites A. Dayawon
Distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic challenged many aspects of the teaching and learning process. However, challenges with the virtual classes were arguably more intense in the rural areas of developing countries, considering technological and socio-geographic limitations. We argue that despite these limitations, rural areas provide opportunities (rural affordances), which may enhance teaching strategies. With the aim of expounding this perspective, we explored science teachers’ strategies derived from rural affordances (SDRA) and drawn teachers’ perceptions of learners’ engagement after the strategies’ intervention. Based on the results, three types of SDRA were utilized, namely: contextualization of educational materials for science activities (CEMSA), integration of citizen science in science activities (ICSSA), and integration of traditional knowledge in science activities (ITraKSA), wherein a significant learner engagement with the SDRA are perceived by teachers after the SDRA intervention. Prospects for the utilization of the strategies in post pandemic settings suggest their potential roles in future distance learning schemes as well as in face-to-face learning modality. A paradigm that outlines educational intervention may assimilate the advantages of the SDRA in science teaching. Science education may further communications with policy-makers and stakeholders for a curriculum that drives synergism between rural teaching strategies responsive to pedagogical limitations.

The Philippine commission on higher education (CHED) requires colleges and universities to align with its triad goals of individual, social, and global development, through the new general education curriculum (NGEC). Since its implementation, numerous studies have evaluated outcomes, often reporting positive results. However, these studies exhibit methodological inconsistencies due to varying assessment measures. While two studies from the same college employed robust self-developed instruments based on CHED standards to evaluate general education (GE) outcomes, questions about their reliability led to the creation of the GE-assessment of personal reports of outcomes achievement (GE-APROAch) instrument. Using a mixed-method descriptive-evaluation design, the research constructed and validated the instrument. Results indicated that the GE-APROAch effectively measures GE outcomes through: i) a solid conceptual framework of targeted competencies; ii) high interrater agreement from expert judges; iii) strong internal reliability to differentiate and consistently report scores; and iv) superior efficacy compared to existing tools. Establishing the validity of self-made instruments is crucial, particularly for evaluating curriculum learning outcomes. Statistical analysis confirms that the GE-APROAch is a reliable and valid tool, offering improvements over previously used instruments.
