The rapid transformation of professional competencies and the emergence of new professions every 3-5 years have accentuated the quest for effective means to facilitate the process of predicting future universal competencies among university graduates. An empirical study was conducted in three stages: organizational, investigative, and analytical. The crowdsourcing process algorithm comprised information gathering, idea generation, filtering, and voting. The findings suggest the feasibility of applying crowdsourced forecasting in the educational sector, where a clear trend towards alignment with real sectors of the economy and constantly changing market business environment conditions is evident. Calculations revealed that consensus decision-making was achieved regarding competencies such as 3D modeling and computer graphics, multilingualism, emotional intelligence, project management competencies, legal literacy, neural networks and big data, intercultural communication, digital competencies, export potential of the agricultural sector, logistics outsourcing, systems thinking, virtual reality competencies, artificial intelligence proficiency, analytics, and critical thinking, as confirmed by the analysis of variance. Forecasts indicated a predominance of subject-specific competencies associated with the growing volatility of the Kazakhstani labor market. The formulated profile of future universal competency development serves as an additional guideline in the development of educational programs (EPs) in professional training directions. Modified crowdsourcing design and methodology for measuring results can be utilized or adapted for addressing other challenges facing the higher education system that require feedback.

Migration processes in the world promote socio-cultural, environmental and economic changes. The migrant population commonly suffers from discrimination, xenophobia, and labor abuse, with the educational level being a very important incentive for the adequate adaptation of the migrant. Peru and Ecuador host close to two million migrants; therefore, we sought to identify the educational level, living conditions, environmental care, and labor conditions of the migrant population and the level of association between them. For this purpose, a descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional study was carried out using a 24-question questionnaire to 120 migrants over 18 years of age who voluntarily participated in the study. The results showed that 50% had a fair level of education, 35% had a poor level, and only 15% had a good level. A total of 56.67% had a poor standard of living, 33.33% a fair standard of living, and 10% a good standard of living. There were 96.67% reported a good level of care for the environment. The 57.5% have poor working conditions; 40.83% regular, and 1.67% good. The study concludes that a good educational level allows a better adaptation process; likewise, educational level was significantly associated with living and working conditions.

Pantipa Thiamta , Suntonrapot Damrongpanit
This research aims to examine the influence of authoritative parenting (PAREN), cooperative learning (COOP), school environment (ENVI), positive classroom climate (CLASS), and extrovert personality (EXTRO) on social and emotional learning (SEL), as well as analyze the complexity of mediating variable roles linking these factors. The sample consisted of 684 lower secondary school students from the upper northern region of Thailand. Questionnaires were used for data collection, and analysis was conducted using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. Research findings revealed complex structures among factors collectively explaining 67.37% of SEL variance. PAREN emerged as the most powerful driving force followed by school factors, namely COOP and CLASS, which demonstrated strong interconnection while ENVI showed only indirect influence through EXTRO. Furthermore, CLASS and EXTRO functioned as significant mediating variables between classroom factors and SEL. However, EXTRO did not play a mediating role in the relationship between parenting and SEL, reflecting that family influence remains the primary factor determining SEL development in Thai youth.

This study addresses the challenge of enhancing civic engagement in higher education institutions by examining the predictive relationships between readiness, motivations, and digital civic engagement of tertiary students. Employing the quantitative, correlational research approach, data collected through survey questionnaires were analyzed using Minitab statistical software. Significant insights came from the 2,205 tertiary students selected through multistage random sampling, following strictly ethical standards to ensure data privacy and anonymity. As found, a moderate level of readiness underscores the need for targeted interventions, particularly to improve the civic behavior of students. Understanding and values motives emerged as dominant drivers of engagement, indicating the strong desire of students for personal growth and learning. While respondents occasionally exhibit digital engagement, it leans toward civic activities over political involvement, focusing primarily on information consumption rather than active collaboration. Emerging as a significant predictor of engagement, developing tailored initiatives to enhance readiness is crucial to positively influencing civic participation. Higher education institutions may use these findings to develop digital interventions that serve as catalysts for long-term civic engagement among students and engage in further research on other predictive factors.

Liang Mingyu , Mohd Khairuddin Abdullah , Connie Shin
Understanding how young teachers cope with work concerns is crucial for improving teaching quality in Chinese private higher education. This study investigates the relationship between different stages of such concerns and teacher effectiveness of young lecturers in private universities. These lecturers often face workload pressure andlack of career supports, which may influence their effectiveness and professional development. This research involved 416 full-time lecturers under the age of 40 from Shandong Province. The sample was determined using Krejcie and Morgan’s formula and selected through a multi-stage sampling method. Private universities were stratified into four categories, one university from each category was purposively selected, and participants were randomly sampled. Data were gatheredthrough a structured questionnaire adapted from the stages of concern (SoC) and the school teacher effectiveness questionnaire (STEQ). Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted for analysis. The results show that task concerns and impact concerns significantly influenced teacher effectiveness across instructional planning and strategies, assessment, and learning environment. In contrast, self-concerns showed weaker influence. These findings suggest that work concerns reflect not only stress but also deeper professional motivation, pointing to the need for more purposeful supports to increase teacher effectiveness and career growth.

This study investigated tertiary students’ perceptions regarding constructivist learning in the context of higher education in Vietnam. It aimed to examine the general perceptions of university students towards constructivist learning and the effects of constructivist learning on students’ learning outcomes. It also examined the conditions that make students more likely to embrace or resist these approaches. The study evaluated the engagement of students in problem-solving activities through the use of constructivist learning methods. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative data. Specifically, the study involved a survey of 384 students from Hanoi Law University, using a researcher-made Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews of 20 students from the sample. While descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data, the qualitative data were thematically analyzed for common themes and patterns. The results indicate that although the participants acknowledge the benefits of constructivist methods, particularly in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving, there is still uncertainty about their ability to engage in a self-directed learning approach. The findings suggest that while the constructivist approach has been recognized, practical efforts have not been made in teaching practices, teacher training, and assessment methods to create an interactive, student-centered learning environment in Vietnam.

This study examines communication apprehension (CA) and oral presentation strategies among Japanese English as a foreign language (EFL) learner to understand their impact on verbal communication challenges. Despite educational reforms prioritizing communicative competence, Japanese learners face persistent difficulties, particularly in formal contexts like public speaking. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, and a purposive sampling method was used to select a sample of 140 EFL learners from a private Japanese university. Data was collected using the oral presentation strategies inventory (OPSI) and the personal report of communication apprehension (PRCA). Quantitative analysis via SPSS 29 assessed learners’ apprehension levels and strategy use patterns. Findings revealed moderate CA levels, with interpersonal communication inducing the most anxiety and public speaking causing the least. Learners relied heavily on message reduction and alteration (MRA) strategies, simplifying expressions to manage anxiety, while non-verbal (NV) strategies were minimally utilized. Positive correlations between strategy use and CA highlight the potential of targeted strategies to mitigate apprehension. Practical implications include the need to integrate Japanese cultural values into pedagogy to manage CA through collaborative learning, peer assistance, and structured oral activities, while also balancing accuracy with fluency and utilizing technological tools to support language development.

In the typical high school chemistry curriculum, chemical bonding precedes the chemical reactions. In this study, the re-sequenced effect of learning chemical bonding when chemical reactions are introduced first among grade 9 learners was investigated. A learning module with re-sequenced intervention in chemical bonding was developed using analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation (ADDIE) model and validated by eight science education professionals rated as very satisfactory. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized in the implementation phase with 129 respondents selected through cluster random sampling. Pre- and post-tests, formative and summative assessments, and evaluation surveys were administered. Evaluation results revealed that the scores from the re-sequenced intervention group displayed a slightly higher overall satisfaction percentage (99.06%) compared to the control group (94.74%). In addition, the experimental group achieved significantly higher competency levels (M=49.3, SD=19.4) compared to the control group (M=41.4, SD=15.3), with p=0.016 and d=0.37. Furthermore, students reported positive perceptions despite initial misconceptions. These findings highlight that re-sequencing topic order enhances chemistry learning outcomes and student engagement. Hence, the re-sequenced learning module became a valuable tool for enhancing understanding of chemical bonding, independent of baseline competency or attitudes toward the material.
