This study aimed to investigate the significance of classroom and teacher leadership in the context of enhancing students’ motivation and academic achievements. Employing a quantitative approach via a questionnaire, the study focused on Moroccan EFL students, specifically targeting first- and second-year baccalaureate students majoring in physics and first-year experimental sciences at Al Ahd Al Jadid Secondary School in the Taounat region. The study’s findings revealed that a substantial 97.9% of participants favored transformational leadership, with 61% opting for transactional leadership, and a modest 14.2% choosing laissez-faire leadership. These results suggest that effective teachers may employ a combination of transformational and transactional leadership styles, depending on the specific circumstances and needs of the classroom. This study highlights the importance of flexible and adaptive leadership in education and its potential impact on students’ motivation and academic success.","PeriodicalId":321345,"journal":{"name":"Edukasiana: Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan","volume":"9 s5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140742174","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 study is a quasi-experimental research, adopting specifically the non-randomized control group design. 4,755 (2,067 males and 2,688 females) Senior Secondary year two (SS2) students offering biology in the 62 government owned secondary schools, in Awka Education Zone of Anambra State, Nigeria constituted the population. 52 (20 males and 32 females) SS2 biology students drawn from, two intact classes, in the two sampled schools, using multi-stage sampling procedure constituted the sample size. The instrument for data collection was an adapted Biology Test Anxiety Scale (BTAS), validated by three experts with reliability coefficient of 0.78 established using Cronbach Alpha. In analyzing the collected data, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to test the null hypotheses. The findings revealed that students taught biology with IBIA significantly showed low test anxiety in biology than those taught with the conventional lecture method, irrespective of gender. Based on the findings, the study concluded that IBIA is a gender friendly, activity-based approach that boosts students’ confidence, and promotes meaningful learning in biology. In light of this, it was recommended among others that IBIA should be adopted by biology teachers in secondary schools to actively engage students in the learning process which will in return help boost their confidence during tests and thus, reduce their anxiety.","PeriodicalId":321345,"journal":{"name":"Edukasiana: Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140382356","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}

Educational institutions may consider improvements to fulfill the requirements of students better and enhance their emotional elements to increase interest in learning by identifying areas of strength and weakness through student learning outcomes and satisfaction evaluations. Hence, the study examines the factors for assessing student learning outcomes and Satisfaction. Methodology: A quantitative research method was utilized in this study, and 180 sample data was collected. This study employed a quantitative research design, collecting 180 sample data from students at the College of Economics, Management, and Information Systems, University of Nizwa, Oman. SEM-PLS software has been used to analyze the collected data. Findings: According to the study, educational quality (EQ) significantly impacted students' Satisfaction (SS) but not learning outcomes. There was no discernible impact of student involvement on learning outcomes or Satisfaction. Similarly, support resource quality (SRQ) does not significantly affect student learning outcomes. However, SRQ has a substantial effect on students' Satisfaction. Thus, high-quality education indicates that enhancing the learning environment should be a top priority for educational institutions. For students, self-regulated learning and metacognition are essential. Educators should constantly update and improve the curriculum to incorporate cutting-edge teaching techniques and current pedagogical trends.","PeriodicalId":321345,"journal":{"name":"Edukasiana: Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan","volume":" 47","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140385962","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 OBE has gained acceptance for its structured approach, critics raise concerns about its potential limitations in fostering holistic development. The Capability Approach, rooted in the work of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, offers an alternative perspective, emphasizing human capabilities and freedoms. The paper advocates for a broader view of education, asserting that it should empower learners with skills beyond predefined outcomes. It discusses the theoretical foundations of both approaches, their key principles, and the potential synergies between them. The study employs a comprehensive qualitative methodology, analyzing various sources to enrich the understanding of the research topic. Criticisms of OBE include a perceived narrowing of the curriculum and concerns about its impact on individual excellence. Case studies from different countries highlight challenges and varying outcomes in OBE implementation. The integration of the Capability Approach into OBE is proposed as a transformative avenue, emphasizing the cultivation of capabilities alongside traditional knowledge. Practical implications are outlined, including designing comprehensive learning outcomes, adapting curriculum and pedagogy, and employing diverse assessment methods. The integrated approach is seen as a means to empower learners for personal and societal flourishing, fostering inclusivity and equity in education. The paper concludes that this integration signifies a paradigm shift, redefining education as a transformative force for individual and societal progress.","PeriodicalId":321345,"journal":{"name":"Edukasiana: Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140385657","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 current study explores the effect of students’ self-efficacy (SSEF) on math academic achievement among secondary students, with a specific focus on the potential moderating role of teachers' personality traits (TPTS). To achieve the study objective, an epistemological-positivist research paradigm and cross-sectional research design were used to guide the study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and PROCESS macro were employed for data analysis. The results reveal a significant and positive correlation between SSEF beliefs and their math academic achievement (β = 0.4525, p = 0.0000). Moreover, the results demonstrate that the effect of SSEF on math academic achievement is significantly increasing at the increased level of TPTS (β = 0.0572, p = 0.0089), affirming the crucial role of TPTS in shaping SSEF and math academic endeavours. These findings hold relevant for educators, schools’ administrators, and policymakers. Among others, the study recommends the need to design and implement training programs, workshops, seminars and offer teaching tools that nurture and cultivate SSEF, self-esteem, and TPTS in shaping students' trajectories of math success. This study unravels the intricate interplay between self-efficacy, TPTS, and secondary students' achievements in the realm of mathematics. By so doing, the study contributes to both theoretical knowledge and practical insights, offering a deeper understanding of the complex factors influencing academic success in math among secondary students.","PeriodicalId":321345,"journal":{"name":"Edukasiana: Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138607557","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}
