A sample of 256 male and female teachers participated in the study. The concept of conflict management was measured using cooperation, avoidance, waiver, competition, and settlement as a method to manage conflicts among teachers. The findings of the study indicated that ‘settlement’ was the most preferred method for conflict management by school principals, followed by cooperation, then by the waiver. Avoidance was the least preferred method to be used by school principals in conflict management. The results of the study revealed statistically no significant differences in gender, educational qualification, and experience among participants on the perceived conflict management method used by the school principals (p-value >0.05). The study recommended training courses for school principals to raise their awareness of conflict management.","PeriodicalId":16005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Higher Education, Theory, and Practice","volume":"52 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fact that students are starting to prefer digital reading materials is a good sign because it shows that they are keeping up with modern technology. Therefore, this study aims to analyze digital storytelling videos to improve the practice of reading digital materials (NILAM). The design of this study is qualitatively using document analysis and semi-structured interviews as a method of data collection. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three study participants to examine the Reading Incentive Planning and Activity Report and school-level NILAM data. The findings imply that digital narrative videos can enhance reading behaviors. Via reading-promoting school activities, students have also been introduced to digitalization activities. Revising the school-based reading program (NILAM), this digital storytelling film can improve the practice of reading digital content. This study is expected to further expand digital storytelling videos by diversifying digital reading materials and improving the practice of reading digital materials (NILAM).","PeriodicalId":16005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Higher Education, Theory, and Practice","volume":"51 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample included (74) students, who were divided into two equal groups: experimental and control. Study data were collected using mathematical achievement tests and inductive reasoning. There were significant differences between the two groups in the post-application of the achievement and inductive reasoning tests in favor of the experimental group, which indicates that teaching mathematics according to the theory of learning compatible with the brain had a significant impact on the development of achievement and inductive reasoning among the participants.
