This follows a shift in Educational Psychologist (EP) service delivery and role throughout services in the UK and Ireland over the last number of years. EP services are in the process of responding and seeking opportunities in the face of these changes while managing and sustaining cohesive and high performing teams. This poses the question as to how a leader can develop and maintain supportive teams who are focused on delivering a high quality service, and how a leader can deliver change. This paper considers theory, practice, professional and evidence based perspectives regarding leadership with particular regard for change and team leadership and endeavours to investigate and amalgamate the areas for current and aspiring leaders in the EP world and beyond.","PeriodicalId":366105,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Social and Behavioural Sciences","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128122468","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}

A change in societal values and skills (e.g., 21st century skills) has affected the child’s schema. This change in the child’s schema has implications in the child’s perception, awareness, emotional regulation, and attention. For this reason, there needs to be a conscious mindset shift to accepting the new value systems and the corresponding schemas that accompany them. As children of this new generation organize their daily lives, their schemas become altered to reflect the current societal environment resulting in children entering the schooling system with their perceptions, awareness, emotional regulation, and attention formed around the current state of society. For these children, their schemas are normal everyday life/interactions and are essentially the product of the new society who have adapted to their new situation. This adaptation has ultimately changed their schemas. Therefore, a shift in the perception of this new generation of children needs to take place, where their schemas should not be seen as maladaptive, but rather a reflection of the current ways of knowing. Influences such as technology and expectations of society have affected these schemas. Hence, a proactive perspective needs to be considered as schemas are highly adaptable and susceptible to the environment. One place that this can occur is with the K-12 school system. Together with a mind shift in accepting the present-day children and their schemas, a shift in the school system to meet this changing need must be considered.","PeriodicalId":366105,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Social and Behavioural Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130936083","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}

In parallel with the increase in the knowledge required to be acquired, learning environments and mutual interaction are not enough anymore to acquire this knowledge. One of the most important ways to acquire knowledge is reading books. The studies conducted with pre-service teachers revealed that they mostly read newspapers followed by books and magazines. This study was carried out to assess the university students' book reading levels and the effect on their problem solving skills thereof. “Attitude Scale Towards Reading Habit” and “Problem Solving Inventory” were used to collect the research data. The results revealed a significant difference between the student groups created based on gender in attitudes towards reading in favor of the male students. Nevertheless, in terms of problem solving skills, a significant difference was found between the student groups created based on age in favor of the age group of under 20 years, and between the student groups created based on the type of high school which the student was graduated from, in favor of the students who were graduated from science and vocational high schools against students who were graduated from anatolian high schools. Lastly, a significant relationship (r=.56) was found between the reading levels and the problem solving skills in the positive direction, which suggests that the higher the reading attitudes the higher the problem solving skills.","PeriodicalId":366105,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Social and Behavioural Sciences","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125648867","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}

Elliot","doi":"10.15405/ejsbs.308","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15405/ejsbs.308","url":null,"abstract":"Over the last decade, cadaveric dissection has been the focus of debate, regarding its value within the medical curriculum. Those against dissection cite, among other reasons, that dissection is overly time consuming and does not fit into the favoured team-based, case-based, or problem-based learning models. Further, alternative methods of learning anatomy (e.g., living anatomy, technology) have been incorporated into the lab as alternative for dissection. Newer medical schools are choosing not to include dissection at all, in favour of introducing clinical skills much earlier. Current literature shows dissection is still very popular and preferred among surgeons as a training tool, while students acknowledge that it is important for their learning. Alternative methodologies have also been reportedly popular with students and additional value lies in their incorporation of clinical skills (e.g., patient interviews). Therefore, a compromise has been reached with the proposal of the Integrated Dissection and Clinical Skills (IDCS) approach. This method of teaching anatomy would incorporate various techniques in a manner that puts student learning first. It is intended as a middle ground that will maximise learning by fitting dissection into the modern curricula designs in a more dynamic and engaging manner.","PeriodicalId":366105,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Social and Behavioural Sciences","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126844259","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 cross-sectional study involved 419 Caucasian young women aged between 17 to 19 years. Research methods included a bibliographic search, the application of several psych-diagnostic tests, and mathematical and statistical data analysis procedures. The results showed that the idea of an ideal wife is characterized by contradictory elements of cognitive and behavioral components among young women with a focus on gnostic and aesthetic values. The established mismatch in the content of the images “Ideal wife” and “I am a future wife” contributes to the development of intrapersonal conflict in the marital sphere for adolescent female students focused on the values of professional self-realization or gnostic-aesthetic values. Ideas about marriage in a group of young women with a focus on the values of personal life differ in the completeness of the formation of the cognitive component. The results show that youth (from 17 to 19 years) is a sensitive period to form complete and harmonious ideas about marriage through the development of family values among young women.","PeriodicalId":366105,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Social and Behavioural Sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127483914","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}
