The study adopted a concurrent design of the mixed-methods approach. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques (proportional) were utilized to sample 627 level 400 students from six departments. Out of the 627 respondents, 617 submitted completed questionnaires for the study. Purposive sampling technique was also utilized to select 12 students from the sample for interview, two from each department. Frequencies, percentages and regression were used to analyse the quantitative data while qualitative content analysis was used for the qualitative data analysis. The results revealed that avenues for academic progression (n=512, 82.9%), personal attributes (n=488, 79.0%), achievement of career aspiration (n=459, 75.5%), motivated by teachers (n=400, 64.8%) are important influential factors for choosing teaching career path. The findings also revealed that temperament, interest and personal qualities were the personal factors that motivated the students to opt for a teaching career path. It was also revealed that financial challenges and inability to satisfy admission requirements compelled some students to select teacher education programmes. It was discovered that encouragement from family has a positive coefficient (0.085) with a p-value of 0.030, signifying a significant positive relationship between the predictor and outcome variables. It was recommended that the government, NGOs and universities should launch campaigns to educate parents about the need to respect their children's independence in career decisions.","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"31 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140732473","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}

{"title":"Unravelling Causes and Mitigating Suicidal Tendencies in Male Educators in Zimbabwe's Rural Regions: A Comprehensive Analysis","authors":"Chidarikire Munyaradzi, Takunda Chikwati","doi":"10.9734/ajess/2024/v50i51363","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9734/ajess/2024/v50i51363","url":null,"abstract":"This qualitative study aims to explore the underlying causes of suicidal tendencies among male educators in Zimbabwe's rural regions and identify the strengths of current interventions targeting this issue. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select 15 knowledgeable participants who possessed relevant experiences and expertise. The study employed focus group discussions to generate data, which was subsequently analysed using content thematic analysis. The research questions addressed in this study were two-fold: (1) What are the underlying causes, including work-related, psychosocial, and personal factors, that contribute to the emergence of suicidal tendencies among male educators in Zimbabwe's rural regions? (2) What are the strengths of the current interventions targeting suicidal tendencies among male educators in these regions? The analysis of the data revealed two key findings. Firstly, the study identified multiple causal factors contributing to the emergence of suicidal tendencies among male educators in Zimbabwe's rural regions. These factors encompassed work-related challenges such as heavy workload, insufficient resources, and inadequate support systems. Additionally, psychosocial factors such as stigma, social isolation, and emotional distress were identified. Personal factors like financial difficulties and relationship problems were also found to contribute to suicidal tendencies. Secondly, the study identified several strengths within the current interventions targeting suicidal tendencies among male educators in Zimbabwe's rural regions. Notably, the provision of mental health support services, including counselling and awareness campaigns, was found to be a valuable aspect of the existing interventions. Moreover, the study highlighted the significance of community involvement and collaboration between educational institutions, healthcare providers, and relevant stakeholders in addressing this critical issue. Based on the findings, two key recommendations emerge. Firstly, it is crucial to enhance the existing support systems for male educators in rural regions, focusing on addressing work-related challenges and providing adequate resources and support. This may include workload management strategies, professional development opportunities, and the establishment of comprehensive mental health support networks. Secondly, there is a need for increased awareness and de-stigmatization of mental health issues among male educators. This involves implementing targeted awareness campaigns to promote mental well-being, fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment, and encouraging open dialogue on mental health concerns.","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"56 164","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140735050","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}

While many teachers likely possess these qualities, limited research explores the potential connection between a teacher's academic inspiration and their ability to cultivate positive school values. This study addresses this gap by investigating the relationship between these two constructs among public elementary school teachers. Employing a non-experimental quantitative research design, specifically a correlational method, data were collected from 133 teachers selected through universal sampling. Analyses included mean calculation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and regression analysis. The findings indicated that public elementary school teachers often exhibit high levels of academic inspiration, particularly in innovation, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Similarly, teachers frequently demonstrate prolific school values such as fostering strong relationships, teaching essential social skills, serving as role models, establishing clear classroom and school rules, and acknowledging students for positive behavior choices. Furthermore, the study revealed a significant relationship between academic inspiration and prolific school values among public elementary school teachers. However, the domains of academic stimulation did not significantly influence school values within this context. These results suggest that efforts to enhance academic inspiration and prolific school values could be targeted to cultivate a predictable and supportive environment conducive to healthy teacher interactions, particularly in areas where assistance is needed. School administrators, therefore, may play a crucial role in facilitating such improvements.","PeriodicalId":262869,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"63 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140739596","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}

For data collection, I utilized journal articles on Ohio University’s library website, Google Scholar, and the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC); and this lasted between March 2023 and June 2023. I analyzed the data using thematic analysis. The findings of the research revealed a lack of mentorship for faculty of color. Additionally, faculty from underrepresented groups had to navigate their educational institutions on their own without any assistance. Faculty of color also experienced feelings of isolation due to the absence of faculty who shared their background. At the end of the study, I recommended that diversity, equity, and inclusion should not be viewed as merely a checkbox for funding or accreditation purposes.
