And this paper randomly selected 209 teachers (including full-time teachers and managers) from the Hebei Academy of Fine Arts located in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, as the research subjects.\u0000Findings: There exists a positive correlation between a teacher's professional identity and their occupational happiness. Additionally, a positive association can be observed between a teacher's professional individuality and their psychological capital. Furthermore, a positive relationship can be identified between a teacher's psychological capital and their professional happiness. Psychological capital plays a mediating role between a teacher’s professional identity and occupational happiness.\u0000Conclusion: Professional happiness is a manifestation of happiness at work, and psychological capital and professional happiness have the same theoretical basis and research orientation. The higher their sense of professional identity, the better their attitude towards work, and the higher their sense of professional happiness.\u0000Research Limitations/Implications: The sampling only comes from the Hebei Academy of Fine Arts located in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China. The conclusion may not fit all levels of education and teachers' situations.\u0000Practical Implications: Universities could focus on improving the teacher's professional identity to improve their occupational Happiness, and universities could train teachers to gain psychological capital to help them keep a positive attitude towards their job to improve their occupational Happiness.\u0000Contribution to Literature: This study provides a structural framework for the relationship between psychological capital and occupational happiness that future researchers may use in their studies. The subsequent research could examine this model's applicability to the professional satisfaction of high school teachers or primary school teachers.","PeriodicalId":38402,"journal":{"name":"Nurture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45677712","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":"The influence of accepting change, spirituality, and tenacity and competence on authentic leadership among novice teachers in Malaysia","authors":"Noor Haifa Zolkipli, Mua’azam Mohamad","doi":"10.55951/nurture.v17i3.353","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.55951/nurture.v17i3.353","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: In schools, principals are leaders of teachers while teachers, are leaders of students and colleagues. The current development of the ever-changing education system makes the roles and responsibilities of teachers increasingly challenging. This requires a person to have an element of resilience to become a teacher who is responsible for guiding students and colleagues to achieve school goals. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of resilience (tenacity and competence, trusting in one’s instinct and tolerance of negative affect, acceptance of change and secure relationships, control, and spirituality) on authentic leadership among novice teachers, particularly in North Malaysia. \u0000Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quantitative approach through questionnaires such as The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ), involving a total of 229 novice teachers in the northern zone of Peninsular Malaysia as respondents. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28 and Structural Equation Model-Part Least Square, SmartPLS 4 software. \u0000Findings: The findings showed that accepting change, spirituality, tenacity, and competence constructs have a significant and positive impact on authentic leadership. \u0000Conclusion: Resilience is a skill that teachers should have when influencing students and colleagues. \u0000Research Limitation: The data found in this study were based on questionnaires. The results of the information and findings of the study were limited as they depended on the honesty and willingness of the respondents to answer the questionnaire. \u0000Practical Implication: Spirituality in the workplace is among the key elements in achieving the organization's goals. Spirituality can help teachers have peace of mind when handling conflict. Teachers have to prepare physically and mentally to cope with the changes in organization because they are role models for colleagues and students. \u0000Contribution to Literature: This study contributes to the existing literature by demonstrating that resilience constructs have an influence on authentic leadership among novice teachers. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":38402,"journal":{"name":"Nurture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46912092","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 descriptive analytical design was used using a questionnaire consisting of (32) items. \u0000Findings: The level of language skills among students with mental disabilities was low. Statistically significant differences were found in light of the disability's degree in all domains and the total score in favour of moderate mental disabilities, while no statistically significant differences were found in light of gender. \u0000Conclusion: The language skills topic for students with mental disabilities is one of the most important topics among specialists in special education. Thus, the primary issue with this research revolves around the level of language skills among students with mental disabilities at Ajloun governorate. The study found that the mean score for the level of language skills among students with mental disabilities was 0.37, with a low level. So, it is recommended to concentrate the efforts of educators, parents, and officials to increase the interest in this group of students, and to provide all material, moral, and training means to develop their social skills in order to become better. \u0000Practical Implications: The importance of this study stems from the fact that it sheds light on the level of language skills among students with mental disabilities, which in turn will affect the process of providing different programs for students with mental disabilities, especially those related to developing their language skills. The study complements the previous researchers' work on the language skills of students with mental disabilities; it could be a starting point to address the topic from other aspects and with multiple variables. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":38402,"journal":{"name":"Nurture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45465665","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}

Specifically, the study investigates the headteachers' perceptions of teacher-spent time (TST) in teaching and its implementation status in school-level education in Nepal.  \u0000Design/Methodology/Approach: It is based on the qualitative descriptive survey research design. It was carried out with ten community school headteachers of the Ilam district as the sample. Six of them belonged to three rural municipal areas, and four were from two municipal areas. The sample for the study was drawn purposively. A semi-structured interview was used to collect the data from the headteachers as the respondents, and the data was analyzed by applying the thematic analysis technique under five themes.  \u0000Findings: The result indicates that the disparity among the schools in terms of physical conditions and resources resulted in workload management problems, challenges with TST implementation, and weak supervision.  \u0000Conclusion: It was concluded that the promotion of teacher awareness about their profession was necessary for effective TST implementation and the overall development of quality education.  \u0000Limitations and Implications: The study uses only one variable-headteachers' perceptions of TST and a small sample that may affect the generalizability of the result. So, it is suggested that a further study be conducted covering various dimensions of TST.  \u0000Practical Implications: Despite these limitations, the study has a number of practical implications for the Nepalese education policy and practice as well as other contexts with a comparable set of circumstances. These include improving school leadership, enhancing teacher preparation, and addressing resource shortages to improve student learning outcomes. \u0000Contribution to Literature: The study can contribute to the literature on education by highlighting the perspectives of head teachers and providing insights into effective strategies for optimizing the amount of time spent on teaching and learning.","PeriodicalId":38402,"journal":{"name":"Nurture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41406447","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}
