To quantify content validity of IATPDI questionnaire, a pre-developed survey questionnaire with 40 items was emailed to two established content experts to: (1) rate each item in terms of its clarity and relevancy to the measured domain; (2) evaluate which item should be deleted or revised; and (3) get recommendation about whether additional items are needed to \u0000adequately tap the domain of interest. The Delphi method was used to collect the data. Subsequently, two rounds of Delphi process culminated in a revised and refined IATPDI questionnaire with 40 simplified items divided into four sections. Content validity of IATPDI questionnaire was quantified by calculating content validity index (I-CVI and S-CVI) and modified kappa statistics, which indicated high content validity of the 40 items. Taken together, the results show that the IATPDI questionnaire is a content valid instrument.","PeriodicalId":244206,"journal":{"name":"Bhutan Journal of Research and Development","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116440865","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 theories of second language acquisition state that the dominating factor affecting second language acquisition are motivation, cognitive style, sociocultural, and other linguistic factors. The Behaviorist Theory of Language acquisition states that children learn language through motivation while the Cognitivist theory claims that language develops through the concepts of memory and time. Likewise, the Innatists claim that children are born with an innate quality of universal grammar to acquire language automatically as they grow. The socioculturalists claim that language acquisition and learning occurs through social interaction without having required to force them to learn a language. The paper found that “input” factor has improved and progressed the linguistic competence of the learners which is seen in Bhutanese children being able to understand more than two languages like Nepali and Hindi. Most of the Bhutanese children understand the above two languages without \u0000having attended any formal classes but all learned through the “Input” factors of exposure to television and contacts. The findings of this paper indicated that conversational interaction in second language learning had enhanced the language development of children at a young age.","PeriodicalId":244206,"journal":{"name":"Bhutan Journal of Research and Development","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123649836","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}

Sherpa","doi":"10.17632/DY3CFKKPRX.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17632/DY3CFKKPRX.1","url":null,"abstract":"Parental involvement is the active participation of parents in their children’s educational processes and experiences. Numerous studies have established a significantly positive link between parental involvement and children’s academic, and socio-emotional outcomes. Many studies explored parents’ and teachers’ perspectives, however, parental involvement being a multi-dimensional variable, requires requisite perspectives from all stakeholders. A global paucity of studies exploring students’ perspectives and the absence of research on parental involvement, in the Bhutanese context, served as the impetus for this study. This study investigated the perspective of at-risk students on parental involvement in children’s education. The 257 participants faced circumstance(s) such as divorce, separation, and death of the parent(s). The mixed methods approach was employed to collect both quantitative and qualitative data to determine how the participants perceive parental involvement in their education. Survey questionnaires, focus group discussions, and narrative story writing were used to glean participants’ perspectives. The findings reveal the extent of involvement for different members of the family, the perceived importance of parental involvement at different levels of education, some common barriers to parental involvement, areas of involvement and neglect, and the impact of death, separation, and divorce of parents, on at-risk students. The study primarily recommends relevant stakeholders create awareness of the value of parental involvement as well as devise policy instruments to promote it for the holistic development of at-risk students.","PeriodicalId":244206,"journal":{"name":"Bhutan Journal of Research and Development","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130322890","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}
