Data were collected from four private schools overtwo months in 2018 and 2019. All the schools had experienced instability due to low enrolment,particularly after the policy was implemented in 2018. The decline in the schools’ income alsoaffected the quality of education. However, the results suggest that some students prefer tocomplete their education at private schools as low-expense-boarders or as beneficiaries offee discounts. Other students choose private schools to avoid overcrowded classrooms andtravel far, especially when excluded from public schools. This study argues that despite limitedlearning resources, private secondary schools in rural Kenya have an important place in thepublic education system outside of the academic pyramid of public schools.","PeriodicalId":42500,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International and Comparative Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49295822","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 participants were 65 undergraduate Informatics students from a private university in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data from Strachota’s Student Satisfaction survey responses were examined using quantitative analyses. According to the findings, there was a strong and statistically significant relationship between student satisfaction and interaction. According to predictive models, every type of interaction could predict student satisfaction, with student interaction with content being the most powerful predictor. Furthermore, the findings revealed that self-ability in digital learning, good internet accessibility and connectivity, the presence and feedback of the teacher, website content, and the ability to learn from peer feedback and group discussions all played important roles in influencing student satisfaction. Students reported that they were generally more satisfied with their improved spoken communication skills, which helped them achieve their learning objectives. The findings suggest that integrating synchronous and asynchronous learning effectively promotes student learning and improves student satisfaction in Indonesia’s remote online learning environment.","PeriodicalId":42500,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International and Comparative Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43994343","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 reality, the third main function permeates the other two. There are clearly social responsibilities to the students and to the staff who teach them and/or maintain their well-being through administration and other services such as counselling. Including issues of physical, social and economic well-being in their research portfolios is also common, though not universal. In this paper, we take a spatial scale approach to social responsibilities, which can take us from social responsibilities within the university, through what might be termed ‘civic responsibilities’, on to the immediate populations of a town or city, and then to ‘regional and international responsibilities’. The impact of the COVID19 pandemic in line with the sector’s social responsibility dynamic is also examined.","PeriodicalId":42500,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International and Comparative Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41811122","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 original study involved 153 Year 7 teachers from 24 randomly selected schools. The data was obtained from a questionnaire and video recordings of three lessons for each teacher. In the context of teachers' classroom assessment practices, the data was analysed using a self-developed Assessment for Learning (AfL) rubric that contained tour- level performance rating. The findings of teachers' AfL practices revealed that a large majority of teachers' practices were at the lowest level and were deemed unsatisfactory. The present study was inspired by these findings. The present study used a qualitative approach where two teachers were purposely selected based on their AfL practices. The study investigated how these teachers created (if any) social and emotional learning environments and to see how these environments affected the AfL strategies the teachers implemented. Using the video recordings of the three lessons and transcribing the classroom discourses, the data was analysed by identifying 'episodes' that focused on student·teacher interactions during the implementation of AfL strategies. Our findings revealed that one teacher was able to create a more social and emotional learning environment and this led to active participation of her students and them taking responsibility for their own learning. The research findings may have implications on how teacher education and teacher development programmes could incorporate elements of how to create social and emotional learning environments to improve teachers' AfL skills.","PeriodicalId":42500,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International and Comparative Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66974353","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}
